CENTRAL1A, Wash., Nov. 17. (Spe
cial.) Off to the northeast, 20 or 25
miles from this city, in - fir forest
thick with undergrowth, scores of
posse men are converging upon an
area of rough territory where fugi
tive participants in the Armistice day
murders are lurking. There are rli
mora at present unconfirmed that the
armed searchers are already pressing
the radicals closely and that shots
are frequently being exchanged..
Brief telephonic messages from the
outpost ranches at the edge of the
timber agree In asserting that there
has been much firing and liken the
I rifle nhots to machine irun staccato.
But Captain Lloyd Dysart, command
mandlng the military police and di
recting from local headquarters the
expeditions which are in the field
against the I. W. V., said early this
evening that he had received no con
firmation of reported clashes.
Bland Among Party.
At least three men, among them
Bert Bland, local leader of trre radi
cals and accused of participation in
the Armistice parade attack, are al
most certainly within the grip of the
converging posses. The posse, men to
the last one are picked riflemen, who
know every foot of the tangled tim
ber country at the source of the
Skookumchuck and Hannaford rivers,
a score of miles to the northeast.
But the report of at least one posse
man who has engaged the desperate
fugitives Is that there are least three
to bo reckoned with, and perhaps six
or seven. This statement is made by
Ben A. King of Olympla, Thurston
county game, warden, who was with
the posse of four that engaged the
I w. V. on Saturday at hunters
cabin, when John Haney was slain
from ambush.
Continuous KlrlnK Hear.
Another engagement with the I. W.

progress in the Hannaford head
waters country, according to a tele
phone message received this after
noon from Ueputy Coroner Charles
Sticklin, who went to meet the party
bringing out the body of John Haney,
As the party of which Sticklin is
member entered the timber on mid-
afternoon they heard almost continu
ous firinsr. he reported. "It sounded
like machine guns, it was so rapid."
telephoned Sticklin.
That the body of John Haney, Te
nino posse man slain in Saturday's
clash with the reds, will arrive at
the Rector ranch at 6 o'clock this I
eveninsr was information received at
2 o'clock by Captain Lloyd Dysart
from Deputy Coroner Weisinger, one
of those who went out to bring the
body in. The message was telephoned
to headquarters from the edge of the
wild country where the fighting oc
curred. ;
The names of the three posse men
. who were with Haney when he met
death in ambush were made known
today. The party was commanded by
Preston McDonald of Centralia, and
its members were Morgan Davies,
chief game warden of Thurston
count ; Ben A. King, Thurston county
game warden, of Ulympia. and John
Haney of Tenino.
IvInK and llnnrr Old Priend.
'King and Haney were old friends,"
said Captain Dysart, "and they had
a woods signal, a sort of peculiar
whistle, that they used to call to each
other when they were in the timber
hunting or on duty.
"In this instance Haney was slightly
in advance. A shot sounded and he
dropped, apparently mortally wounded
The reason that King was confident
his comrade had met death was that
the former sounded their whistle
many times, in the hope that the shot
had not been fatal, but heard no
icply. Of course that's old news now
because Haney's body was recovered
and is on its way to Hector's ranch."
A detail of 12 men, armed and car
rying lanterns, was sent out this
afternoon to Hector's ranch, there to
proceed Into the woods by trail and
meet the men who have brought the
body of the deputy to within four
miles of Hector's and a traveled roau.
It is probable that the party will
arrive in Centralia about 9 o'clock
tonight.

he was to have spoken at Ortonville

BY BEN HUR LAMP-MAN.
CENTRALIA, Wash., Nov. 17.
(Special.) John Haney, Tenino posse
man, who was shot in the hunt for
L W. W. murder suspects Saturday
afternoon, died from the fire of his
own comrades, through an accidental
brush between separated parties, it
was learned early tonight, when th
body of the deputy was brought to
this city.
Sadness came to the city again In
the knowledge that Haney had died
in vain, and regret at his death Is
mingled with sympathy for the posse-
men who fired upon him, believing
that they were being1 approached by
the radicals, armed and desperate.
Among the first of the possemen
to penetrate to the Hannaford river
headwaters country and the vicinity
of Hunter's cabin, where three fugi
tive participants In the Armistice day
crime were believed to be lurking,
was Haney. His companions were
Preston McDonald of Centralia,
Morgan Davis, chief game warden fot
Thurston county, and Ben A. King,
game warden of Olympla.
As they drew within a mile or so '
of the cabin Saturday about noon the
posseof eight men separated, Haney
and three others swinging in a wider
circle to approach the place. They
had agreed to meet the others at or
near the cabin"
The first party to reach the cabin
was the one which separated from
Haney and his comrades. They ap
proached the log structure cautiously.
rifles ready, and discovered It to be
untenanted. Withdrawing a little
distance they awaited the arrival of
the second detachment. The first
party arrived at 1:30 o'clock. At 1:66
o'clock Haney and his .three com
panions neared the cabin, with Haney
slightly in advance of the others.
There was little opportunity for
distinguishing friend or foe in the
thick growth of timber and brush
and members of the first detachment
perceivea oniy me iorm of a man
moving cautiously nearer to the open
plot before the cabin.
Members of the posse equad say
that signals had been agreed upon
for the reunion at Hunter's cabin.
When these were given, as he ap
proached, Haney failed to recognize
them, and dashed back Into the un
dergrowth.
The possemen say that they cried
out a command to halt. The posse
men stationed near the cabin at once
opened fire and at the first rifle crack 1
Haney plunged forward, shot through
the heart.
As Haney fell his three comrades
took cover and replied to the firing
of their own comrades, equally con

shots were exchanged and the three

spot where Haney fell to recover his
body. They were driven off without

he was the victim.

OREGONIAN NEWS BL'REAU.Waih.
ngton. Nov. 17. Close observers of
the treaty proceedings in the senate
do not take seriously the statements
that President Wilson will pocket the
treaty If it Is ratified with the Lodge
reservations. The message carried
from the White house this morning by
Senator Hitchcock failed to make an
Impression.
Senators on the majority side said
the president was bluffing. While It
was confidently declared that he
would even accept the treaty with the
first IS committee reservations just
as adopted, there was much going on
under the surface to make it easier
for him. That will be told later.
There are several reasons why Mr.
Wilson can hardly take the respon
slbility of rejecting the treaty. If h
does, he will be handicapped In his
threatened appeal to the country by
the desertion of several of the master
minds who have carried the burden of
the fight for him up to this time tn
creating and crystallizing public sen
timent.
Support Drrlarrd Larking.
In such a fight he would have to
go it alone. President Wilson has
been only nominally the leader of the
fight for the league of nations. Fur
thermore, he has been lacking in any
powerful support in his own party.
The actual genius and great driving
force of the fight has been former
President William Howard Taft.
-The second great influence has
been President Lowell of Harvard
university. It will not be denied that
Mr. Wilson in discussing the league
of nations has dealt mainly in gener
alities, or rather In Idealisms. This
has been so true that the senate for
eign relations committee had to spend
an entire day at the White House
seeking to obtain his understanding
of the concrete proposals of the league
covenant and their effect. .

cry after striking the water, but
swam steadily toward the middle of
the river as though she were bent
upon drowning. She was placed in
the city Jail charged with attempting
suicide.
The police said Miss Brenner was

of work for two weeks. She said
she especially disliked asking

drawbridge, and stood gazing
the water. Two young men asked
her Jestingly if she intended to jump
over.
I am thinking about It." she re
plied.
The men went on. They heard her
call out "goodbye." a few seconds
later, and turned to see her poised
on the rail. She Jumped before they
could stop her.
Slg Berven, a bridge tender, tried
to throw the girl a rope, but although
she rose to the top of the water and
began swimming, she had headed
down stream and was beyond reach.
Patrolmen Finn and Schroeder res
cued her with the harbor patrol
launch.
Miss Brenner Is the daughter of
Mrs. F. C. Cheeber, 661 Irving street.
She lives with her mother and step
father. Mr. Cheeber said last night
that the girl did not have to work for
a living.
Miss Brenner was transferred last
night from the jail to the rooms of the
women's protective bureau In the
same building. Her condition is not

Appeal la to Idealists.
His appeal has been to the Idealists,
the same class who were willing to
take his word that he had and would
keep the country out of war, while
Mr. Taft and President Lowell have
discussed fundamentals. It is assert
ed that they, of public men, and they
alone, except for several senators,
have talked racts and given the
thinking element of the country true
lignt. iney have been able to place
behind the president an army of lndl
vidualsHn all sections of the country
who are leaders in their resnectivo
communities, and who at other times
are not concerned about Mr. Wilson's
projects or policies.
All of this influential support,
which the democrats have acknowl
edged so gratefully so many times,
will be lost to Mr. Wilson In the
event he rejects the treaty, air. Taft
and President Lowell say that these
13 reservations, and even others of
similar character, do not justify dis-
carding the document. They are con
fident that the other principal asso
ciated and allied nations will accept
such reservations.
lsdfre Held Acromfflodctlng,
A leading reservation senator has a
letter from Mr. Taft received last
Saturday approving the senator's vote
on all of the 13 reservations. Presi
dent Lowell Is known to be equally
pleased, since he was permitted to
suggest a change In the language of
the preamble.
As to making It easier for Mr. Wil
son, there is a movement on, not orig
inating with the majority leadership,
but as Senator Lodge, the majority
leader, has shown a disposition to
compose all reasonable differences
on nis siae 01 tne seaate In the In

that he will readily fall in line with
