complaint against Cohen three days ago. The first time Cohen appeared in court, Blue was there to prosecute. Yesterday JBlue did not appear against Cohen, " and Patrolman Malloy told in court how he had seen Cohen walking arm in arm with Blue earlier in the day. City Attorney John Prystalski flatly charged that; Cohen had bribed Blue not to press the charge. All five labor agents were dis charged on the barking-and fraud charges.

YES, UNCLE SAM IS PROGRESSING SOME This old country of ours sure is progressing some, when public prosecutors have the nerve to indict the head of the wool trust, and to expose the millionaire trust magnates who planted dynamite in Lawrence in order to make the people believe the striking workmen were dangerous dynamiters. One of the millionaire conspirators committed suicide when he found that a prosecutor who wasn't for sale had the goods on him and the rest of his gang; and now the biggest toad in the wool trust puddle, Bill Woods, has been arrested and is out on bail.

It will be a good thing if Texas' places this multi-millionaire crook behind the bars where he can play checkers with his nose.
