She was the! mother ,of three sturdy young boys and a girl.

They identified her as the person who for many months has answered ads for a ' "maid" and who, after staying a few -days, -would disappear with' the most expensive household articles, on which - she could lay her hands.

Friday in a crimnal syndicalism . case. . ! . ; There was pride in his voice when he acknowledged that for nearly two ,f months In 1918 he had filled the place J of W D. Mavwood n n (timrom of f iir of ' the Industrial Workers of . the World, holding the destinies of the organization in his hands , and ad ministering Its policies. During that period he had been the mouthpiece ( of its council of defense and (general executive board, he said, and, backed by the authority of these bodies,' had. readjusted the organiza tion's publicity department, relegating to oblivion extremely radical pam- -ph!ets and modifying others. Embree's testimony was intended: to show that certain ' pamphlets of a decidedly "Red" nature. - which had been produced in evidence by the prosecution, were not generally clrcu- - lated by ; the organization subsequent to 1918. In' a graphic manner he described his ' Blsbee, Ariz., experiences In 1917. with three months in jail, and ' final acquittal. V " ' He told of his experience In Wallace . at the time of his arrest.

HAYWOOD Sick Should Have Beer, Says Mellon By W. T. Atkins Washington, May 21. (I. N. S.) Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to day gave a ray .of hope for medicinal , beer. He said he favored making ' beer available' for the sick, regard- less of what congress does with the Volstead bill to outlaw malt, liquors, Re versal of the former policy of the treasury to withhold regulations for the manufacture and sale of beer on doctors' prescriptions was virtually decided upon by Mr. Mellon. Secretary Mellon was informed that the Volstead amendment forbidding beer may not be acted upon finally for six weeks or two months. He conferred with his advisers and the conclusion was reached: that, irrespective of what con gress ' does, there should be no further delay in making the department of jus tice ruling operative. In this decision the 1 treasury chief overruled , prohibition and- revenue bu reau chiefs who urged delay in promul gating regulations until congress de cided the beer issues. Prohibition chiefs said today that as soon as Secretary Mellon directs issuance of beer regula tions they will be made effective.

'One of those awkward situations In which neither President: Harding nor Sec retary of State Hughes can say- any thing without seeming to disapprove f the appointment of one of their own ambassadors, has arisen. :; .... f t "' j , For the speech of Ambassador Harvey in London wasn't submitted to the American ' government before it was made and the chances are that it'would have been edited and certain phrases toned down If it had been cabled here for approval. As It is. the administration is, obliged publicly to stand by the speech and to give the impression that Am bassador Harvey- hasn't said anything indiscreet, t WEST TOO FAR f : . , v Nevertheless, In his . sweeping denun ciation of the League of Nations and his sarcastic references to President Wilson's , war ; utterances. Ambassador. Harvey has admittedly gone ; further than has either Mr. Harding or Mr. Hughes in stating American foreign policy... President Harding in his speech to. congress, said -America never would enter the present League of Nations. He never closed the door against modifica tion of the provisions of the league so as to square with American desires. The Europeans have hoped that a commis sion might be appointed to consult with America . and ; work out a program of changes satisfactory ; to the United States and thus bring America Into the council of nations. But Ambassador Harvey has dashed aside such hopes with this statement : "There still seems to linger in the minds of many here the Impression that in some way or other, by hook or -by crook, surely unwillingly. America may yet be beguiled Jnto the League of Na tions, i It follows then that the present government of the United States could not, without betrayal of its creators and uimwt, uiu iiu ilul. caa ssurs you, i have anything whatsoever to i do .with the league or . any commission .or com- mittee appointed by it or responsible tet' It, directly mdlrectly, openly r fur tively." --I- r '- i ' ETK5T SLAXS BOOT PLAJT V;"M;;! i The hg news of that ? paragraph in deed the sensation which far surpasses in . significance tne - denunciation of the League of Nations, is the knowledge that Ambassador Harvey publicly disapproves of the plan for a world court formulated by Elihu Root The world court , plan called for the appointment of judges through the League of Nations. F Indeed the court has been created as a part of the league machinery and Elihu Root has said this seemed to him a wise idea. Everybody today was asking whether Ambassador Harvey intended to : make his repudiation of the lea. true so wide- sweeping as to include the court of In ternational law which Mr. Root helped frame. It is a fact that Mr. Harvey did not hesitate privately heretofore to express his disapproval of the Root plan because it was tied up to the League of Nations, but not until: today baa the Harding administration, directly or in directly, ; been in the position of re pudiating the Root plan. Did Ambassa dor Harvey speak his own views or those of the Washington government? Friends of Ambassador Harvey, especial ly those in the "irreconcilable" group, believe, of course, that he has only paraphrased President Hardina-'s cam paign speeches. " r SPEECH HELD I3CDISCHEET M While It may be indiscreet for : a diplomatic representative of the United States to take , issue with the speeches made by a preceding president of the United States in which America's war alms were proclaimed as unselfish and as based ; on humanitarian reasons, nevertheless it Is true that Mr. Hard ing as a senator took the position that the wr against Germany was not, so tar as tne Unite states was concerned, a war "for humanity," but a war in defense of American rights which had been .- violated on the high - seas. This was his view on the night he voted for a declaration of war with Germany and his view in the last campaign. Ambas sador : Harvey will not get Into hot water for that. 1 The embarrassment arises from the fact that Ambassador Harvey has made a speech in a tone that rekindles. here the fires of partisan ship, .i :; --, - :; ;: . .-- 'n ; KSOWS HARISCS MIXD , He was specifically instructed by Mr. Harding as a parting word that par tisanship ended at the coast line, but then Ambassador Harvey feels he is peculiarly well fitted for the task of spokesman of the Harding administration.- He lived at Marion many weeks last summer and wrote portions of the Harding campaign speeches. He knows the mind of his chief. The chances are Ithat while he may have gone too far in expressing American foreign policy, he will not be rebuked for it. The man who will really be more unhappy about It than anybody else will be Charles Evans Hughes, who has been trying to be es pecially cautious and discreet as he slowly evolved the main principles of American" foreign policy. While. -Ambassador Harvey will not be reprimand ed, it is a safe bet that he doesn't make another speech in many moons. Deputies oil Strike ; In Harney County Burns, Or.. May 21.
