If completed, the ships maybe sold or used to such extent as to salvage them in the large part and the dislocation of the labor situation prevented. Northwestern members of the industry are hopeful that with Donald's aggres sive support the other two members of the board now here, Colby and Page, will join, him in revoking tho suspen sion order.

Late, yesterday afternoon the gov ernment put its most positive witness so far presented upon, the stand. He was George J.

Jones had given him the money for his filing fee on the way to the land office. It had been hi: understanding, . West testified, that Jones was to locate him on the claim, build his cabin, make all improvements required by law and then when final proof had been made was to give him $200. The $200 payment was to be for West's services in taking up the claim. West said. If he decided to keep the land after he took it up, he was to pay Jones $600, and if not wasi to sell to Jones for $200. He had never intended to keep the land. West said that after he had made his final proof Jones sent for him to come and settle up, which he did and got the $200. On cross-examination West said he had never intended to make the claim his home, though he had understood that the old soldiers had the privilege of applying their time of service In Uie army upon the period of residence re quired by the law. ' , West said : he had never heard any thing about any $185 location fee to be paid to Jones. He had understood that when he made final proof the land be longed to Jones, and all he-had to do was to get the $200 to settle the trans action. He had expected to turn Jthe claim over to Jones from the flrsj. West said that he had signed a tram- (Concluded on Page Six. Column One) Snowfall Hampers Streetcars Boston. D. . (I. N, S.)
