EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 26.—The
-trial of the members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World began
today in the Superior Court. The
proceedings were*opened by a de
murrer to the indictments. This was
denied. The defense then asked
for a bill of particulars and after
LOCAL ITEMS.
The most recent number of the
Eskimo, published by the Bureau
of Education locally is a most en
tertaining journal. A really valu
able and instructive article by Dr.
Neuman entitled the Lamp of the
Stone Age is the leading entribu
tion. Many a more ambitious peri
odical would be glad to boast of
such an instructive and erudite pa
per. It is interesting to note that
this is the first of a scries which
Dr Neuman will contribute on these
subjects.

While the committee Thursday
night was rag-chewing and dis
cussing and debating and framing
up at their meeting in the city oili
ces, the city council was holding a
meeting in the office of Judge Lo
men who is representing the in
terests of several property owners
who have been included within the
city assessment by revival of the
Noyes incorporation limits decision.
The councilmen were on hand to
hear the property holders’ side of
the question but it is understood
that they took no action. The
meeting was an informal and friend
ly one, the city officials not being
present. It is understood that City
Attorney O’Neill declined to attend
the meeting, being opposed to its
being held there. The City Clerk
was not present.

State this was also denied.
The defendants who are charged
with .having taken part in the battle
in Everett on Sunday, November G,
when the Verona passengers were
refused landing and when several of
the industrialists and some of the
deputies were killed and others
wounded, were all placed on the
stand and pleaded not guilty upon
arraignment.
Almost immediately the defense
moved for a change of venue sub
Some comment and not a little
dissatisfaction prevails locally on the
matter of the old age pension. The
law provides that the amount paid
will not exceed $12.50 and the
Board of Trustees only pay a few
the maximum in this section. No
good reason is advanced why all do
not get $12.50. It is none too
much and is well deserved. Those
who receive $12.50 a month are
Peter Brennan, J. A. Ross, Thos
Hill, Mrs. Tiffany, J. B. Williams,
Fred West, Fraud Nash, William
O’Brien. Those receving ten dollars
a month are Jno Kerr, Manuel
Botani, Louis Johnson, P. P. Lok
ker, Fred Seger,. A. Ford, John
Grosch, Ezray Canady, Miller E.
Kerr. William Logan, Jos. Nery.
There does not seem to be any good
reason why all should not get the
highest amount, but the matter is
discretionary with the Board of
Trustees. It is not impossible that
some have more influence than
others in this respect, if so the
Board should explain why they
make this distinction. If a man Is
entitled to a pension, he is entitled
to the limit as far as one can see
! in this matter. That Is the general
j ly expressed opinion.

expected that, the court will deny
the change of venue which has been
asked for.
The case is attracting consider
