June 28 |pendent of the Inde- of the en |eineers tonight on the strike ques. tion, all Butte mines will probably be forced to shut down within a | few days because of lack of tools. This waa the assertion of mine loffictals today. Tool sharpeners ‘vho are members of the Black- smiths’ union have been out sev- eral days and the supply of sharp ened tools is inadequate. The |mines will be flooded if the en gineers shut down thelr pumps and the striking machinists, boller- makers, clectricians and black smiths The mines are nearer total shut down tha n for three years, The trouble grew out of the refusal of the miners to help the electricians in their strike against |the Montana Power Co, Interna | tonal organizers of the Electricians union say the strike does not have jottictal sanction. : | STEEL ARMS GUARD SUBS FROM TRAPS By United Breese Leneed Wire vote ‘push them away from the allies’ trap nets, are saving the German U-boats and increasing the under- | fea menace, according to “a state- ment from a British government official” published by the Provi- dence Journal today. “The increasing gravity of the U-boat menace is everywhere ad | mitted in inner circles of the Brit- \ish admiralty,” says the statement “Another menace making for a shortage of shipping Is the fact {that available tonnage shrinks through severe use in war work very rapidly The shrinkage is even greater than the actual ton- nage of ships sunk by submarines.” HAROLD Waa BELL WRIGHT, CALIFORN IAS CYCLONIC LOVE STORY.

By United Frees Leased Wire ROME, June 28.—The central powers are beginning to fear that Russian will soon be an active participant in the allied plane of join offensive opera- tions. | Word from the front today as-| serted there wore evidences there | that a considerable number of Aus- trian divisions had been hurriedly withdrawn from the Italian front and transferred back north. Many of them were troops shift ed from the northern Mne at the height of Gen. Cadorna’s offensive to stiffen the weakening enemy front. At that time the central powers were confident of succens of their separate peace against Russia and had prac topped all fighting on the Russian front by deliberately schemed fra- ternization with the soldiers oppos- ing them.

The de- fense produced the evidence to show Wardell was prone to delu- sions. The state attempted the refuta- tion of this testimony with that of) Mrs. Wardell, who said that at the time they were the agents for a camp site at Alki. Nellie Powers, the inspector’ daughter, corroborated the state- ment of her father that on Febru- ary 15 he did not talk to Wardell on the telephone, Mrs, Stella Howard _ testified that Wardell told her he “took shots {n the arm,” and that he had/ offered her “headache pills in a yellow phial.” Complimenting the jury upon the patiepce with which they had followed the evidence, Deputy Prosecutor Ellis opened the argu- ment for the state. “Highbrow” Criminal “Talk of exaggeration,” he shout- ed, “why, the entire defense ts ex- aggernted. Here is a highbrow criminal, caught red-handed, with the goods on him, admitting he had the money when he was arrested, and he tries to tell you he didn’t| have time to lay it down.” Bilis charged that Walter Ful-| ton, attorney for the defense, had} not fulfilled the promise he made to the jury in his opening state- ment. Ellis Warne Jury “Has he shown you that Wardell victed of a crime ih Everett, or that he has criminal associates?” Ellis warned the jury not to be carried away by the eloquence of counsel, or to allow him to play upon their sympathies, “It is natural,” said Fulton, in his argument, “that should have a sympathetic interest in this case. I have known this defendant for 30 years. But he asks not your sympathy, except so” far as that sympathy is consistent with jus- tice. Won't Call ‘‘Sympathy is the mother of Justice,’ it has been said, Let me invoke sympathy and justice. “T shall not call this prosecution a ‘frame-up' or a ‘job.’ I dislike the words, implying, as they do, a lack of integrity on the part of the prosecuting authorities. For the integrity of Mr. Lundin and Mr. Ellie I have a profound and abso- lute regard, but for their judgment not much. Calle Wardell “Scum” “Perjur, he declared, “hides in the shining vestments of an oath. It can poison the air and wea from it manacles for free hands, and a noose to tall over the shoul- ders of innocence.” Then he launched into an impas- sioned discussion of Wardell and his testimony “He is scum!" shouted Fulton; “diseased in mind and body. A drug* fiend, a paretic, a bootlegger It “Job” owned all the land on Alki point, a is a dope fiend; that he was con-jand a gambler. This is the man the state asks you to believe against honest Mike Powers.” Lundin Closes Fulton concluded by characteria- ing the sleuthing of Sergt. Putnam and Wardell as “a dime novel stunt worthy of the pages of Nick Carter.” Declaring that he did not possess: the gifted manner of learned coun- sel, but that he spoke only in the interests of justice, Prosecutor Lundin closed the case for the state. “Tho Mr, Fulton tells you that the prosecuting attorney is honest but mistaken, he has implied thru out this trial that this office is a part of a ‘job’ or a ‘frame-up’ sys tem,” said Lundin. Lundin spoke 45 minutes, most of the time reviewing the evidence — and laying particular stress on the fact that Powers, and not Wardell, was on trial, and that whatever” Wardell might be, if the jury be- lieved he gave Powers $50, Powers: was guilty. During Lundin’s argument, Mra, Powers, who had sat behind her husband during the trial, broke in- to tears, and was escorted to the jury room by Fulton, She returned in time to hear the closing remarks of counsel. The judge at first instructed the — jurors that they need not begia, work until after taking a walk andi dinner, but later, on motion of Ie) ton, he instructed them to deliberation at once
