JURY CHOSEN TO
HEAR GOHL CASE
Men Selected With Less Diffi
culty Than Was at First
Expected.
CALM DESERTS DEFENDANT
ireat Precautions Being Taken 1
Xrevent Jurors Having Any Con
tact With Outside World Dup
ing Progress of. Trial.
MONTESAKO, Wash.. May 4. Late to
o!ay & Jury -was secured to try "William
Gohl, charged with the murder of
Charles (Herman) Hadberg. at Aberdeen,
Wash., on or about December 23, 1909.
The selection of the 12 jurymen was ac
complished with considerably le.s diffi
culty than was anticipated, and from
statements made by counsel in the case,
the trial should not require much over
a. week to dispose of.
The men who will try Gohl are:
O. C. Moak. dentist, Montesano.
William Isaac, millworker, Blma.
J. E. Winston, engineer, Oakville.
W. T. Xeeley. rancher, Oakville.
H. TV. Smlthson, logger, Hoquaim.
G. W. Wood, farmer, Satsop.
L. O. Stewart, farmer, Oakville.
Edward Hackett. logger. Summit.
J. N. Simpson, farmer, Elma.
O. L. Murray, farmer, Elma.
J. H. Foster, farmer, Montesano.
W. L. Byng, city employe, Aberdeen.
Challenges Exhausted.
In securing the jury, the defense ex
hausted all of its 12 peremptory chal
lenges and the prosecution exercised all
but one of its peremptories.
As soon as the Jury was sworn In, tt
was given Into the charge of four bailiffs,
who were instructed to take every pre
caution to prevent any communication
between the members and persons out
side. In order further to make certain there
shall be no clandestine Intercourse with
the Jurymen, a dwelling has been rented
In which the jury will be confined while
not in attendance at the trial. Their
meals will be taken in the dining-room
of & local hotel, a portion of which has
been partitioned off for their use.
State Will Begin.
Tomorrow morning, the state will make
lis opening statement. A similar state
ment presenting the contentions of the
defendant will follow, . after which the
Introduction of evidence will begin.
The first evidence to be introduced by
the state will seek to prove the death of
Hadberg and the identification as Had
berg's of the corpse recovered February
3, last, from the mud flats at the mouth
of Indian Creek.
. The strain occasioned, perhaps, by the
monotony of the selection of the Jury,
is apparently beginning to tell on Gohl.
Monday and practically all day yester
day the defendant maintained a cheer
ful demeanor. Today. however, Gohl
appeared to be worried.
Mrs. Gohl, the prisoner's wife, oc
cupies a seat near her husband, at all
the sessions of the court.
As was the case the first two days,
crowds filled the courtroom, and there Is
very Indication that when the taking
t testimony begins, standing room will
le at a premium.
TAX COMMISSION ON TOUR
Segregation of Properties to Be
Principal Topic Discussed.
SALEM, Or., May 4. Tax Commission
ers Galloway and Eaton left today for
the interior of the state for the purpose
of meeting the different county assessors.
The law provides that the State Tax Com
mission shall visit each county in the
Ftate e.t leawt once a year and give forth
any information desired by the respective
assessors. The main subject to be dis
cussed by the commission upon this trip
will be the segregating of the properties
to be assessed by the counties and that
to come under the commission's super
vision. - The late tax la.w takes the assessment
of railroads and telegraph and telephone
lines in regular operation out of the
hands of the County Assessors and leaves
the assessment of such corporation utili
ties and holdings to the State Tax Com
mission. In several of the counties, this
law has been misconstrued by the as
6essors in that a certain number of rail
road, telegraph and telephone lines have
been overlooked by the local assessor
with the understanding the commission
would make the necessary assessment.
The corporation holdings thus omitted
consist of loggtns railways, temporary
telf-plione and telegraph lines and several
portable saw mills. This matter will be
taken up with the assessors thoroughly
this wek and It Is probable instructions
will be mailed out within a short time
relative to the corporation utility assess
ments.

Right of Secretary of Interior
Make Rules Is Questioned.
to
BOISE, Idaho. May 4. (Special.) The
United States Circuit and District Court.
which orens in Moscow May 9, will be
confronted with the difficult task of dis
posing of more than 50 bootlegging cases
wherein defendants are charged with dis
posing of intoxicating beverages on Na
tional forests and Indian reservations. The
Indictments were returned last Fall.
The most important legal point Involves
a test of the right of the Secretary of
tne Interior to enforce rules laid down
by him in the governing of the forest
reserves.
It is asserted by counsel for the defend
ants that the act of the Secretary of the
Interior prohibiting the sale of the liquor
was not autnorired by Congress and is
contrary to tee Constitution.
The unique defense is set up that one
saloon stoou upon a mining claim lo
cated under the laws which provide for
the segregation of all mineral lands from
the forest reserve, and was under the
Jurisdiction oi tne state laws.
