SECOND AND ALDER STREETS ill K Attorney" Held to Have Failed to Prevent Client's. Attempt at : - f Extortion From Eormer - - U. S., Ambassador. OL.YMPIA. Wash.;- May 17. fSpe dal.) As the outcome of an alleged attempt in 1916 to blackmail T.- E. Thompson out of 24,000 and valuable property rights, the State Board of Bar Examiners today filed recommenda tions in the Supreme Court that Edtfar G. Mills, of Seattle, be suspended from law practice for one year. Mills, two years ago, was a close candidate for the State Supreme Court in the primaries. Thompson was for merly United States Ambassador to Brazil. He was at Lake Crescent, in Clallam County, when the alleged blackmail was attempted. Frank J. Richards, of Lincoln. Neb., which was Thompson's old home, was subsequently convicted as a result' of prompt s. prosecution by Thompson. Mills, according- to the findings, as at torney for Richards, had previously advised the latter that the matter he, had prepared against Thompson was defamatory , and libelous if published and circulated, but the board finds that in later delivering a sealed package from Richards to Thompson, Mills Jcnew or had good reason to know that 4 he package contained the libellous triatter,-and was sent to Thompson by JPJoharda for the purpose of extortion. - The board also finds that 'Mills took )no steps to prevent commission of the rrlmes by Richards, but rather aided and abetted It. in violation of the stat utes and code of ethics. He was prose cuted before the board on charges brought by the State Bar Association. As reasons for Advising suspension instead of disbarment, the board notes that in the trials of Richards and Dr. Dechman on the blackmail charges. Dechman was acquitted ana Richards was pardoned after conviction by Louis FY Hart, acting Governor at the time. It is cited in Mills' favor that in both, trials he testified for and aided the atate on an immunity understanding, ind the charges against htm were sub sequently dismissed. The board also vTientions his advanced years and the fact that he has no income except from the law. Mills has 30 days in which to appeal to the Supreme Court from the board's findings. Disposal of the case rests with the court. DAIRYMEN POOL OUTPUT OiGWIS COCSiTT PRODUCERS FORM CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION. .lilk From 4."00 Cows Pledged, But ' members May Sell In Aay Market If Ruling; Price Is Ilisher. I. CHEHALIS, "Wash.. May 17. (Spe cial.) The greatest gathering of men engaged in farming ever assembled In f his section of the state was held here Kst night to organize the Lewis County hTairy Association. More than 500 jdairymen were said to be in attendance. A close co-operative association was Tormed, which has the milk output tfrom more than 4500 cows pledged to' Jts support. Asher Hobson, head of Jhe farm markets division of the State College, Pullman, was present and as sisted in the work of completing the organization. 5 Under the agreement signed by "the members, all milk is to be turned over to the association for marketing, al though the agreement does not bind a tnember to deliver his milk if he can et a higher price outside the association. uireciors cnosen last night include J. A. Scollard," . Chehalis; Harvey Shoultes, Adna; J. C. Bush, Chehalis; Herman Young, Centralia; T. O. Hen dricks, Forest: E. E. Wilkinson, Cur tis: A. N. Bennett, Chehalis; V. M. Bullard, Menlo. Pacifie County; George Oldaren, Ethel. The officers elected by this board include J. A. Scollard, presi dent; Harvey Shoultes, vice-president J. C Bush, secretary, and Herman Young, treasurer. The severe cut in the price of milk made within recent months was the immediate cause that prompted the formation of the association. The price at one time ruled as high as $3.25 per 100 at the condensery here, but later was cut to J2.75.' Figures agreed upon at a recent conference in Seattle have satisfied the dairymen interested that milk production at this time costs up wards of SS.25 per 100. The avowed purpose of the organization is to see if some plan cannot be worked out whereby the dairyman can at least Jnake the cost of his product " out ' of the milk produced. t Graudvlew Postmistress Sued.

THEDA BARA, William Fox's vam pire de luxe, will be seen at the Majestic Theater today In "The Forbidden Path," a modern pboto-tale said to give Miss Bara every oppor tunity to display her peculiar talents. Another of those famous lion comedies and Pathe News of world events will also be on the bill. Director J. Gordon Edwards has achieved a. noteworthy result in "The Forbidden Path." He has combined a story of unequaled interest with at mospheric detail that is perfect. The story of William Fox's "The Forbidden Path" concerns the adven tures which befall a tenement girl who is suddenly elevated to comfortable conditions by employment as artist's model. She meets a wealthy young blade who makes love to her, captures her heart and refuses to marry her. Her child dies in a snow storm. Bent on revenge, she seeks out the girl who is to marry the man she hates. They plan a retribution which ends the drama with a vehemence rarely seen on the screen. Star. From poverty and obscurity to a royal throne is a far jump for an Amer ican youth. And- when the pretender to. the throne objects to his occupancy and hires assassins to remove the new monarch, who is a determined and athletic young man, there is apt to be considerable excitement. This is one of the treads of the Douglas Fair banks photoplay, "Reaching for the Moon," which will be shown commen cing today at the Star Theater. - "Reaching for the Moon" teems with sensational incidents and laughable comedy. "Doug" presents a show full of strenuousness and stunts, fairly rev eling in the part of Alexis, a button factory pencil-pusher who discovers that he's heir to a European throne. ine adventures of Alexis are ex tremely trying, and Fairbanks is af forded ample opportunity of display ing the extraordinary athletic skill for which he is noted. Alexis learns that the royal road is a rocky one. He is beset at eyery turn by assassins, who constantly hatch plots against him. Terrific encounters take place, and he escapes with - his life only by virtue of his physicalfprowess. a. uesperate acounarei, a comedy featuring Ford Sterling, and Universal Current Events are other subjects on the new programme.
