SHIPYARD MEN
REMAIN IDLE
SEATTLE, Jan. 22. Seattle's big
shipyard plants continued idle today,
'while leaders or the Metal Trades
council worked busily at their head
quarters, answering a flood of inquir
ies and getting the full machinery of
the strike in motion.
Sub-committees sat to hear cases
where workers were in need of relief,
and hinds will be forthcoming to pre
vent the strike being marred by any
instances of family destitution.
Officials of the Puget Sound Marl
time district council of carpenters
again in session continue the opposi
tion to the walkout of which they de
clare they have been made unwilling
victims.
W. L. Hutchinson, international
president of the carpenters' organiza
tion, Is expected to arrive In Seattle
shortly to assist in negotiations be
tween the carpenters and the employ
ers. KILLS RANCEE AND
MIS SUICIDE
MONMOUTH, Jan. 18. Bodies of
M. B. Stores and Miss Lena Brown
were found today lying on the floor
in the kitchen of Miss Brown's farm
house, five miles south of this city,
death in both cases having been caus
ed by bullets from a 38-caliber revol
ver. In a pocket of Stores clothing
was found a note containing a simple
statement that he had killed Miss
Brown and ended his own life. The
revolver was lying on the floor beside
his body.
There were no indications of vio
lence preceding the shooting, and no
motive was given in the note. It is
believed, however, that the couple
had quarreled and that Stores, in a
fit of despondency, had ended their
troubles. The two had been keeping
company for some time, and it was
believed in the neighborhood that they
intended to marry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. Growing
opposition and protracted debate cov
ering a variety of subjects again pre
vented the Senate from reaching a
vote today on the hill appropriating
'$100,000,000 asked by President Wil
son for famine relief in Europe. Sev
eral more Senators plan to speak to
morrow and some members said to
night passage of the measure before

the measure were made today by Sen
ator Hardwick of Georgia, Democrat,
California, Poindexter of Washington

Bolshevik! defeat.
TS VI
BERLIN, Jan. 21. Spartacans suc
ceeded In preventing the national
elections Sunday in several Rhine
land towns, it was learned today. In
this regio i it was believed the vote
would h-ve favored the Centrist
(church) party and the German demo
crats (liberals), so the apparent coun
trywide margin of the majority Social
ists in the national assembly is not
seriously affected.
In Berlin the majority Socialists
apparently had elected Philip Scheide
mann, .Richard Fischer, Wllhelm
Pfannezluck, Robert Schmidt and
Hugo Heidmann; the independent So
cialists, Hugo Haase, Police Presi
dent Eichora, Louis Zeiss and Herr
Laukaut; the German democrats, Gus
tavo Hartmatm and Herr Neumann,
and the Centrists, Nationalists and
People's party, cooperating, Wilhelm
Karl, Hery Kardoff and Herr Lodrovr

men have been let out here as a result
of the closing of the big mill at C.
A. Smith company against which
petition for the appointment of a re
ceiver has been filed in the federal
court. The local management has no
knowledge of plans for the future, but
the large mill will bo closed for a
lime at least and some of the force
will be retained to do repair work.
The East Side mill of the company
and the electric plant will continue
tc operate and, in order to furnish
power, oil burners are being iastal'ed,
as with the big mill closed there will

CAPTURED FRIDAY BY
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. IS. Asleep
in a cabin on a ranch at Bead Lake,
12 miles north of Newport, Wash.,
William Vane, a federal prisoner out
on 25,000 bonds, who was reported
to have been drowned January 9,
while crossing the Pend Orielle river
in boat, was arrested yesterday by fed
eral officers. Vane had removed his
mustache, darkened his skin, and don
ned a wig. Lying beside him on the
bed was a cocked rifle with ammuni
tion, the officers reported. Nearby
was a pistol.
Because of his career in the courts,
federal authorities scouted the report
of his drowning and started a search
for him. They arrested the two men
who were alleged to have seen him
drown and one of them, Howard Kes
sler, later confessed, the police said.
Following the confession, the capture
of Vane was made.

thrill to hundreds of commuters and
shoppers who were waiting at Second

Three shots from Tackaberry's re
volver struck the man, and a fourth
went wild. The man ran from the
scene of the struggle around the cor

PUGET SOUND
SHIPYARD MEN
OUT ON STRIKE
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 21. Approx
imately 30,000 shipyard workers in
Seattle and 15,000 In Tacoma struck
this morning, according to union lead
ers. The men are demanding a new
basic wage agreement of $8 a day for
mechanics, $7 a day for craftsmen and
16 a day for laborers and helpers.
Four employers operating contract
shops here, but not directly connect
ed with the shipyards, have agreed to
the new scale. These shops manufac
ture shipbuilding accessories.
Labor leaders believe workers In
Olympia and other northwest ship
yards will soon vote to strike.
Workers at wooden shipyards in
Aberdeen have been on strike for a
week, and it Is expected machinists
and shipwrights will follow soon.
Exactly on schedule the great army
of- metal tradesmen poured from the
big shipyards and machine shops,
completely stopping work in upwards
of 100 plants. So great was the con
gestion when the strike was called
that all traffic in the industrial dis
trict was tied up for more than an
hour.
HENEY URGES
U. S. OWNERSHIP
OF STOCKYARDS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Govern
ment ownership of the stockyards of
fer the only hope of the fanners and
stock raisers against the monopoly ex
ercised by packers, Francis J. Heney
told the senate committee on agricul
ture Wednesday. He declared the vari
ous forms of licensing suggested in
bills now pending In congress would
be about as effective "as the bite of
a mosquito on the hide of a rhinocer
os." Heney furnished the committee with
a mass of data showing how the stock
yards are completely under the control
of five big packers, although their
ownership had been artfully concealed
by a series of interlocking corpora
tions. The 16 biggest yards in the coun
try, over which the big five have con
trol, carry 83 per cent of the meat
business of the United States, he said.
If this control were broken up by gov
ernment ownership and operation,
Heney explained, the independent
shippers and the farmers would be
able to get a "square deal,"
COQUILLE VALLEY IS
FLOODED BY HIGH
MARSHFIKUD, Jan. 20. Trains to
and from points in tho Coqullle val
ley have stopped running on account
of high water in the Coqul'le river,
and the tracks are being covered with
water in places. Last reports from
that section were that tho water was
higher than for many years.
Considerable damage to ranches
along tho river is feared, L. P. Bran
stetter, who has a herd of cattle on
the lowlands, is reported to have 150
head of ftne cattle cut off from the
mainland by the floods, and if the
high water continues the stock will
probably be lost.
The water of Coos river actill is high
Some of the landings have been car
riod away and farms are being over
flowed. Reports from Allegany, at the
head of navigation on the north fork
of the river, say that the water is up
to the door of the hotel, which is some
distance back from the river at nor
mal times.
The rainfall for 21 hours ending Sat
urday was nearly four inches and
much water foil during the night.
There is no promise of the rain stop
ping. TAKI
PARIS, Jan. 21. The supreme war
council the peace congress again
took up the Russian problem today.
Representatives oi the United
States, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan resumed their hearings in
the Quai d'Orsay on the subject of
representation and possible recogni
tion 6f the various factions now con
troling Russia.
H. Scavenius, former Danish ambas
sador to Petrograd. one of the last
diplomats to leave Russia, was heard.
His country was one of the last of
the neutrals to break off relations
with the soviet government.
It was believed that under the cir
cumstances his testimony would
closely parallel that of Joseph Noul
ens, the French ambassador to Russia,
who appeared before the council Mon
day. Noulens' statement was not made
public, but shortly after his return
from Archangel, he gave, out an inter
view in which he declared that any
form of recognition of the Bolshevikl
was impossible.
TO PREVENT THREAT
OF
AMERONGEN, Holland, Jan. 18.
Guards about Count Bentinck's castle
were reinforced today when It was
reported that armed German Bolshe
vikl plotted to raid the place, seize
the former kaiser and kaiserin and
carry them off to Germany for a'sec-
ret trial and death like the czar's.
An airplane has been observed
reconnoitering over the castle. This
greatly upset Wilhelm Hohenzollern
and his wife. They demanded further
protection from the Dutch. In addi
tion to the kidnapping plot, Wilhelm
fears a scheme to blow up the castle.
PARIS, Jan. 20. The Russian situ
atlon was formally taken up by rep
resentatives of the associated powers
at a meeting in the Quai d'Orsay this
forenoon, it was officially announced.
The conference lasted irom 10:30 to
noon.
"The president of the United States
and the prime ministers and foreign
ministers of the allied governments,
assisted by Baron Makino and the
Japanese ambassador in Paris, met
at the Quai d'Orsay this morning be
tween 10:30 and 12," the official com
munique said.
"M. Noulens, French ambassador to
Russia, who returned a few days ago
from Archangel, addressed the meet
ing and gave particulars of the Rus
sian situation.
"The meeting will take place on
Tuesday at 10:30 in the morning,
to hear the remarks of M. Scavlnius,
the Danish minister in Petrograd,
who left the Russian capital very re
cently." POLISH INVASION
BY BOLSHEVIKI

troops have slackened their advance
at the Polish frontier. The Germans
are delaying their evacuation of Grod
no for several days, although General
Falkenhayne has retired to Suwalki
and General Hoffmann has gone to
Koenigsberg .

selling arms to the Bolshevists. The
latter are Issuing proclamations that
they have come to restore order. Dis
patches state, however, that Bolshev
ist soldiers have been seen carrying
banners Inscribed with the words
"Long Live the Red Terror" and

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. Wets
have asked constitutional lawyers in
congress to pass on tho possibility of
making tho whole country wet during
the year Unit Is to elapse before the
constltulonul dry amendment becomes
effective.
The wets argue that tho constltulon-
al amendment takes precedence over
all other laws on the subject and nul
lifies them, Including state laws.
Therefore, they say, nil "dry" logls
lation is dead until tho amendment
becomes effective.
Senator Beckham, Kentucky, who
has been counsel for distilling inter
ests, said today that ho sees little
merit in the contention, though it Is
being urged with considerable force.
Senutor Underwood, Alabama, a wet.
said it has boon ratified, but that so
fur no authoritative opinion bus boon
given it.
Wets are considering a test. This
would be obtained by deliberate viola
tion ro a stute law and referring tho
case to tho United States supreme
