"NIGHTRIDER" CASE
FULL OF AGRIN
ONY
Attorneys in Trial of 13 Men
for Conspiracy Indulge in
Frequent Clashes.
TREE FELLER IS WITNESS
Harry J. Galloway, of Montesano,
Asserts It Was Impossible to De
termine Where Tree Which
Smashed Cabin Would FalL
TACOMA, Wash., Dec. IB. (Special.)
-Sharp tilts between counsel again
marked the trial of the 13 men charged
fy the Government with conspiracy
in the Pacific County "night-rider"
cases. Almost the acrimony of per
sonal encounter entered into the objec
tions at times, and "that's not a fair
question," "'is too," were two of the
frequent remarks of the afternoon.
The feature testimony of the after
noon was that of Mrs. T. J. Hamilton,
of Tacoma, who was gent to the North
River as a representative of the Mon
day Civic Club of this city to investi
gate the raid. Mrs. Hamilton is the
woman who stood on the bis stump on
the Vanderpool place, according to her
testimony yesterday, and sang "Tip
perary." The witness laughingly ad
mitted doing this when questioned by
A. R. Titlow, attorney for the defense.
Mrs. Hamilton told of her trip to tne
North River country in November, 1915,
in company with Mrs. Abbie Danforth,
of Tacoma, and Mrs. Margaret Ross,
the witness for the Government. She
detailed the events of the night in
which she and her companions stayed
at the home of J. N. Howard and of
the visit there that night of about 30
residents of the vicinity, all of whom
were supposed to have been accused by
Mrs. Ross. She Identified two or three
of the defendants, but when asked to
identify others was unable to do so,
pointing out several of the defendants
and improperly naming them.
Among other witnesses called by the
prosecution during the afternoon was
Frank Ross, who admitted his signa
ture to an affidavit made July 9, 1915,
before the Prosecuting Attorney of Pa
cific County, in which he gave the de
tails of the driving out by Frank and
Forrest Martin and George Wheaton.
of Stephen and Earl Root from a nearby
claim, in August. 1913, and the tearing
down of the Root cabin. The part
taken in this by the Ross boys was de
clared to be but a passive one.
Harry J. Galloway, & wood hauler of
Montesano, testified as an expert in
tree falling, that "no man could tell
what way the tree would have fallen,"
when questioned as to the probable
direction of the fall of the tree which
the Ross boys are alleged to have felled
across the Vanderpool cabin.
Charles Martin, 16-year-old son of
Mrs. George Wheaton, at the time of
the raid. Mrs. Frank Martin, told on
the stand of the circumstances sur
rounding the alleged altercation at the
bridge on the Howard place. Martin,
who was only 13 years old at the time,
of the occurrence, was unable to re
member clearly the. circumstances, ad
mitting that he was badly frightened
at the time. He told of running for
W. A. Watters, and of the intimidation
of Watters by J. N. Howard.
The whereabouts of Mike Hanrahan
on the night of the raid was established
by a prosecution witness, Charles E.
Jacobsen, a logger of Aberdeen, who
testified that Hanrahan was at his place
of residence, five miles from the van
derpool cabin, between 9 and 11 o'clock
on the night of the raid.
The prosecution will place its last
witness on the stand when court con
venes tomorrow morning. District At
torney Allen expecting to complete the
prosecution s direct testimony by to
morrow night. The defense expects to
occupy three or four days with the giv
1ng of testimony so that it is now con
sidered impossible to complete the
hearing before the first of the year.

Publishers Reject Proposal
That Trade Commission
Undertake Distribution.
TWO PROBLEMS UNSOLVED
THREE STATES IN PACT
MONTAJVA, IDAHO AND WASHING
TON WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.
Interstate Road Association Is Formed
at Walla Walla to Obtain All-Vear-Ronnd
Highways.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., Dec 15.
(Special.) An Interstate Road Associa
tion was formed here today to work
for all-year-round highways through
Montana, Idaho and Washington. A
meeting will be held in Pasco in Janu
ary to adopt a constitution.
Temporary officers, who probably will
be the permanent ones, were elected
as follows: H. Y. Saint, of North
Yakima, president; A. J. Elrod, of
Pasco, vice-president; E. A. Cox, of
Lewiston. Idaho, secretary: Radford
Rigsby, of Pomeroy, treasurer. N. B.
Adkinson, of Waitsburg; Ben A Hill.
of Walla Walla, and J. W. Johnson, of
Pasco, were named the Washington
members of the executive committee.
Idaho will appoint three and Montana
one.
The association will work out a con
nection between the highway systems
of Montana, Idaho and Washington by
way of Lolo Pass and the Lewiston
gateway, and complete the Inland Em
pire Highway of this state to a connec
tion with the Idaho highway system.
It was decided that a direct route
should not be the sole criterion of road
building, but that the density of popu
lation and the state of development of
the different sections of the state be
taken into consideration. The com
pleted road from Missoula west would
pass through Walla Walla and on to
Puget Sound and Portland.
High Prices and Shortage of Supply
Real Issues Government De
partments to Consider Pos
sible Economies.
WASHINGTON, Dec 15. Publishers
of the country's larger dailies, it was
Indicated after a day of conferences
here today, will oppose as impractical
a proposal that the Federal Trade Com
mission undertake supervision of the
distribution of American and Canadian
made news print paper available in
the United States. A publishers' com
mittee will meet committees of manu
facturers and Jobbers and the Federal
Trade Commission tomorrow to con
sider an apportionment plan suggested
by the manufacturers.
Distribution under the Federal Trade
Commission, some of the publishers of
big newspapers insisted today, not only
would be illegal but would not solve
the two most important problems fac
ing newspaper owners high prices and
an alleged shortage of paper.
Increased Production Demanded.
Consequently there will be an Insist
ent demand that the manufacturers
agree to increase production by diver
sion of paper-making machines back
to the production of news print. Many
machines are said to have been put on
cheaper grades of paper because there
has been a greater profit in their
manufacture.
While the publishers of the larger
papers, as represented by officers of
tne American Newspaper Publishers
Association and others, were meeting.
smaller publishers conferred to decide
what should be their attitude toward
the distribution proposal, which many
of their number favored, because it
would assure them at least some sup
ply of paper. Representatives of all
the publishers met tonight to name a
committee to meet the trade commis
sion, the manufacturers and the Jobbers
tomorrow.
Still Blgber Price Feared.
Another distribution plan that might
be worked out. according to the repre
sentatives of the large papers, would
force the bigger publications to ac
cept on contract smaller quantities of
paper for next year than their actual
needs require.
This, they declare, would force them
in the open market for the remainder,
making it necessary for them to bid
against the smaller newspaper owners,
who do not buy on contract, or who
buy in small quantities, thereby rais
ing the price to still higher levels.
The Senate today adopted a resolu
tion by Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, di
recting the committee on printing, in
view of the scarcity and increasing cost
of print paper, to investigate the sub
Ject and what economies might be
practiced In the various Government
departments in the Interest of oon
sumption of paper.
