acres, by an expenditure of $ 10,000, and
Intended to do so. having been advised

SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 25. (Special.)
William Thomas Dovell. member of
the law firm of Hughes, McMicken
Dovell & Ramsey, one of the keenest
legal minds and one of the most prom
ient men in politics of the state of
Washington, died- at 2 o'clock this
morning at his home in this city after
a three months' illness from pneu
monia.
Mr. Dovell was born in Walla Walla
September 21, 1869. He was educated
at Whitman College In his native city.
He was admitted to the bar on his 21st
birthday, and when only 22 years old
was southeastern manager of the Sen
atorial campaign of John -A-, Allen,
whose daughter he later married.
. Mr. Dovell followed Mr. Allen to
Seattle, having read law in his office
in Walla Walla, and became a mem
ber of the law firm of Struve, Allen,
Hughes & McMicken.
He was City Attorney for Walla
Walla, during the period of his early
law practice and once served as Deputy
Clerk "for the United States District
Court in that town.
Though he had been a political factor
in Southeastern Washington from the
time he reached his majority, had led
the Allen Senatorial . fight when 22
years old, had delivered a remarkable
address in Seattle years before and was
regarded as one of the state's most
brilliant Republican speakers before he
reached the age of 30, Mr. Dovell really
came into his first political prominence
lxn the West Side during the Mead
campaign of 1904. At his own expense
he stumped the state for Mr. Mead.
In the Taft-Roosevelt fight Dovell
was a strong advocate of Mr. Taft. He
wrote the Republican platform adopted
at Aberdeen in 1912 and was the pleader
for the Taft delegation seated in the
Chicago convention.
Lawyers in telegrams of condolence
sent to Mrs. Dovell and . to his law
firm today declare that he was the
best-known and one of the best
rounded attorneys in the state.
The members of the State Supreme
Court recognized Mr. Dovell's ability,
when on Christmas day they sent a
letter to him declaring that at the time
of his death John B. Alien was the
best lawyer in the state and that Mr.
Dovell had filled the place he left.
Mr. Dovell was 47 years old. His
father, John Dovell, settled in Walla
Walla in the early '60s and operated
ithe first planing mill built between
Puget Sound and Montana. Mr. Dovell
was president of the Washington State
Bar Association in 1911 and a member
of the American Bar Association. Be
sides his widow, he leaves two sisters
and three children Ruth Cecelia, aged
13; William Thomas, Jr., aged 5, and
Mary Dorothea, aged 2.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
at 3 o'clock from St. Joseph's Church.
Interment will take place in Calvary
Cemetery.

Friday's War Moves'
A LONG the front in the region of
Xx Verdun the Germans and French
continue the great struggle which be
gan several days ago with the Ger
mans on the offensive and their aim
evidently the great French fortress of
Verdun.
Notwithstanding a heavy fall of
snow, the Germans to the north of
Verdun have attacked with what Paris
terms unprecedented violence and with
large forces French positions at sev
eral points, but according to the French
official communication the attacks were
without success. Especially has this
been true of La Cote du Poivre, about
4 miles north of the fortress, the
attainment of which would give the
Germans a good vantage point from
which to operate against Verdun.
The artillery on both sides along the
entire battle front is keeping up an
incessant bombardment of opposing po
sitions. So intense are the detonations
of the Big guns that the sound of them
has penetrated eastward to the left
bank of the Rhine, in Rhenish Prussia.
Heavy casualties are being inflicted
on both sides and the Germans assert
they have taken many prisoners the
aggregate at last reports totaling more
than 10,000.
East of tho Meuse the fortified vll
lages and farms of Champneuville, Co-
tellate, Marmont, Beaumont, Cham-
brettes and Ornes are declared by Ber
lin to be in the hands of the Germans,
.as likewise are French positions to the
north of Verdun, reaching to the ridge
of Loudemont, which lies to the south
of Beaumont.
Fighting .also has been going on in
the Champagne region and bombard
ments of German positions in the for
est of the Argonne and in the Vosges
mountains have taken place. In Cham
pagne the French report the capture of
German salient south of Ste. Marle-
a-Py and the taking of 308 prisoners,
including 21 officers and non-commis
sioned officers. Artillery and mining
operations have been in progress along
the British front.
Bombardments, infantry attacks and
fights with hand grenades have taken
place in Russia and Galicia, but there
have been no important changes in posi
tions. The bombardments between the
Austrians and Italians on the Austro
Italian front continue.
The Russians in the Caucasus and in
Persia have taken additional towns
from the Turks. Pursuit of tho Turk
ish forces driven out of Erzerum con
tinues.
.Late reuorts from the British forces
surrounded by Turks at lJut-el-Amara
say the Turks long ago ceased their
attacks on the besieged position.;
Vienna records a further drive of the
Iltalians before the Austro-Hungarians
east and southeast -of Durazzo, Al
bania. Eleven Italian officers and
more than 700 soldiers have been cap
tured. Tha, Durazzo docks are under
the fire of the batteries of the Teu
