IHAhS Ol'fcJi TODAY
Washington, Juno 1. Thirty six
postofflces In as many states will
begin business as postal savings de
positories today, making a total of

tend to give up her fight to secure

band, Ralph E. Nolen, and his father

tuted another suit this morning with
certain changes In the complaint
which nhe intended to prevent the
fate of the first one.

tained, $5000 special damages for be
ing deprived by the accident of her
means of livelihood, and $50P to re
imburse her for medical and surgi
cal expenses. In her first suit, she
alleged that her hand had been
jnashed and burned In the mangle
through the negligence of the owners
in allowing the thumb screw on the

leged in their motion for a non-suit
that had not been proved by testi

IS COYOTE RAISING
A NEW INDUSTRY?
Is the bounty law resulting in the
exterminating of predatory animals or
is it fostering an infant industry, that
of coyote raising This is a question
which crept into County Clerk Saling's
mind this morning after Deputy
Brown had finished summing up the
amount paid out for scalps during
the month of May. JG79.50 was the
exact amount collected by the bounty
law, there being 441 coyote scalps,
four bobcat scalps arl one cougar
scalp turned in at the office.
Tli is amount breaks all previous
r"cords by far. the n. xt highest am
ount being $403.50 which was paid out
in May. 1910. A study of the records
shows that all of the sums for the
months of this year are greater than
those of last year and that there has
been a steady monthly increase, un
til the climax was reached in the
month just passed.
Now what the county officials want
to know is whether this increase is
due to the greater zeal and assiduity
of hunters and foes to the varmints
or whether the old coyotes are spared
so that they may raise many off
spring to the financial benefit of the
hunters. The fact that the great ma
jority of the scalps brought in are
those of coyote cubs lends color to tho
theory that a new and thriving Indus
try has been born and that the boun
ty law is thwarting its own end.

ARE "FAT AND SASSY"
Los Anceles. Cal , June 1. "Fat
and sassy" describes the condition of
John J. McNamara, secretary of the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, an4
his brother, J. R. McNamara. who
are charged with murder is
connection with the explosion
which wrecked the plant of
the Los Angeles Times. The McNa
maras are calm, cool and confident
and have gained In weight since their
Incarceration in Jail here. The labor
leaders present no physical nppear
nnce of being uneasy concerning the
outcome of the charges against them.
The jailers in charge of the men say
that they eat heartily and are the
soundest sleepers In tho prison. At
the time for the trial approaches tht
feeling between the labor and so call
ed "Industrial freedom" forces of Lo
Angeles is becoming tense to ,the
breaking point.
Labor unions and socialist organ
izations throughout the country and
even In foreign lands are pouring a
golden flood into the coffers of the
defense and there will be no lack of
the sinews of war when the tremend
ous legal battle begins. It is nn open
secret that the big industrial inter
ests will leave no dollar unspent that
would serve to complete the chain
of evidence against the accused men.
The trial will be another Moyer-Haywood-Pettlbone
case on an even
greater scale.
