ADMISSION
ALBANY, X. T.. Jan. 20. Morris
Jliliquitt, chief counsel for the five
suspended socialist assemblymen, de
clared today at the opening of their
trial that if the assembly permanent
ly ousted the defendants the act "will
loosen the violent revolution which
we socialists have always endeavored,
and are endeavoring, to stem."
Mr. Hillquitt added this "one word
of solemn warning." after asserting
that the Romanoffs and all instru
ments of oppression In Russia had
been destroyed after the government
had tried to- outlaw the socialist
movement, and that we are not afraid
of suppression at the time one-half
the world is under socialist control."
"Warning" Held Threat.
This "warning" was later interpret
ed by Martin W. Littleton, associate
counsel for the committee, as a
"warning to the country, a threat to
the committee and an admonishment
to the assembly that they do not dare
deal with the gentlemen he repre
sents unless they wish to Invite revo
lution to this country. Mr. Hillquitt
'denied that his remarks were intend
ed as a "threat," and said instead ho
had "made a sort of love offer" that
"we socialists are ready to see the
thing in a constitutional manner and
by peaceful methods."
'I was merely imploring you to be
aa good and peace-loving as socialists
are," he said, "and not to be high
handed in your procedure. That was
an entreaty and it was intended to
be." The judiciary committee opened
the trial by excluding by a vote of
7 to 4 the New York City Bar asso
ciation committee, headed by Charles
K. Hughes, from independent partici
pation in the proceedings, after which
the committee, submitting a brief op
posing the assembly's action In sus
pending the socialists, withdrew.
The delegates made it plain that
they did not represent the socialists
but the "public interest."
Fair Play Assured.
Then Louis M. Martin, chairman
of the judiciary committee, read
statement assuring the defendants
that they will "receive fair play" and
"the case is not prejudged" and that
the committee desired to express its
understanding "of matters that are to
be brought up for consideration.
These Included "claims" that the de
fendants were "members of a party
or society whose doctrines demanded
the complete destruction of our form
of government by the fomentation of
social unrest and the bringing into
play of force and violence" and that
they "are engaged with others in a
large well-organized conspiracy" to
weaken the family tie, destroy the in
fluence of the church and overturn
the whole fabric of a constitutional
form of government.''
Mr. Hillquitt challenged the asser
tion that the case was not prejudged
and made three motions, two of which
were denied. The committee reserved
decision on the third, which provided
for dismissal of the proceedings as
illegal and unwarranted.
I'Knrm la Challenged.
The motion overruled challenged the
fitness of the committee as a whole
and its members as individuals to
serve as judges on the ground that
they alao played the roles of accu
sers and the vast majority was "com
mitted in advance to one side."
"I maintain," said Mr. Hillquitt,
"that if every word of the suspend
ing resolution was proved to be true;
if every charge read this morning by
the chairman of the committee was
proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
to be true, that even then this com
mittee and assembly are absolutely
without power to suspend or expel the
members of the assembly under
charges; that so long as there is no
question about their election; that so
long as there Is no question about
the fact that they are citizens and
residents of this state and have taken
oath of office, that ends the power
and jurisdiction of the assembly with
reference to them."
Mr. Littleton, in arguing that the
assembly was a law unto itself, said:
"Not until the fierce fires of this
war broke out and shed their lights
in all the dark corners of all the so
called political organizations, did we
discover that treason might be mas
querading under the name of a po
litical party."
l.EGIOX CALLS FOR. FAIR PLAY
Ousting of Assemblymeu in Dis
favor Unless Disqualified.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Jan. 20. The
suspension of five socialist members
of the New York state assembly was
given consideration by the national
Americanism commission of the Amer
ican Legion, in session here yesterday,
it was learned today, and the action
taken by the assembly was denounced
in a resolution passed by the com
mission, it was announced. In mak
ing public the resolution, officials of
the legion called attention to the ex
pressed purpose of the Americanism
commission to combat all anti-American
tendencies.
The resolution follows:
"Since the American Legion stands
for the maintenance of American in
stitutions of government, we look
with disfavor on every effort to over
throw the right of representation or
deny to the properly elected repre
fentatlves of the people the right to
sit in the bodies to which they have
bein elected, except when they have
been shown legally disqualified."

announcement of the resolution,
Franklin D'Olier, national commander
of the legion, declared that the fun
damental principle of the American
Legion's programme of Americanism
is "fair -play to all who play fair"
and that while the American Legion
does not and should not stand in the
way of changing of procedure of gov
ernment, "does and should insist that
whatever change is advocated shall be
made in a lawful and orderly manner
and shall be brought about only as
provided under our American institutions."
RADICALS ARK HELD TO JCRY

Thomas Speakman, Joseph Thorn
ton and A. Kirn man, alleged reds,

tion. The three are declared by the police
to be dangerous radicals. Speakman
and Thornton were arrested by Patrol
men Drennen, Parker, Parmley and

Half of Money Paid for Agricul

Producer, Is Assertion.
PULLMAN, Wash., Jan. :0. (Spe
cial.) The 14th annual convention of
the Washington State Orain Growers,
Shippers and Millers association was
opened this afternoon by President
R. V. Perringer of Belmont. Presi
dent E. O. Holland, of the state col- !
lege. In an address of welcome urged
the organization of the wheat men
into some kind of a co-operative sell
ing organisation. He pointed out that
the department of agriculture recently
showed that 50 per cent of the money
received for agricultural produce is
not going to the original producer.
The other &0 per cent is taken up by
shipping charges and the overhead
costs of immediate business.
"A good deal of the social stability
of the world." said Mr. Holland,
"hinges upon a satisfactory solution
of the problems of the farmer."
"Experimentation and Research in
Agriculture," was the subject of the
address by Dean E. C. Johnson, of
the college of agriculture.
He urged increasing activity In ex
perimentation and research as op
rosed to trie too rapid development of
means and methods of the dissemina
tion of this kiowledge, stating that
the farmer was lagging behind in the
latter.
"The application of the principles
developed jby experimentation and In
vestigation was so rapid as to almost
catch up" in many cases with the
reserve to summer campers, and also
afford better forest protection. Speak
ers pointed out the urgent need of
roads in the forest, saying that fires
last summer in the forest had cut
down available water for irrigation
in the valley at least 20 per cent, and
continuation of fires would more rap
Idly deplete the supply of water.
Korestry officials said that ten
miles of road will connect the Inland
highway with the trunk line, and
that the Improvement probably will
not cost more than JIG. 000.
Forestry officials will locate the
road and superintend the construc
tion. The Lewis peak route leaves
the highway near Dixie.
ROAD ROUTE TO BE FIXED
Commissioner to View Scufcrt-
Descliutes River Stretch.
THE DALLES, Or., Jan. 20. (Spe
cial.) An official and definite reason
as to which of the many discussed
prospective routes for the Columbia
river highway between Seufert and
the Deschutes river will be chosen, is
expected shortly. Edward Kiddle,
state highway commissioner, will go
over the different routes and deter
mine which is the best one for the
public. The commission will hold an
official meeting at Salem on February
5, and it is expected it wil. decide
upon the route at that time.
The local highway engineers are
known to favor the river grade route,
but strong pressure is being brought
to bear to have this route changed to
go via Petersburg, up Ten-Mile creek,
across the Johnson gap to the north
slope. It is asserted by supporters
that this route will avert the drift
ing sands along the ,iower proposed
survey and that the' farming com
munity will get better service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Dr. John
Bassett Moore, vice-president of the
central executive council of the In
ternational High commission, which
was organized in 1916 to promote mu
tual interests of American republics,
gave an account of the commission's
work tonight at the second! general
session of the Pan-American financial
congress. William G. McAdoo pre
sided.
In group discussions today Argen
tina led off with a request presented
through Frank A. Vanderlip, the
United States representative, for mod
ification of state banking laws In the
United States to permit South Amer
ican banks to open branches In the
United States. Mr. Vanderlip said
that American members supported
the Argentine delegates In referring
the request.
"Although American banking houses
are opening branches all over the
world," he said, "our laws In certain
states makes it impossible for Latin
American institutions to open branches
in this country and compete with us
on our own ground. The interests of
fairness demand readjustment."
HaJtlen Delegates Laud V. S.
Haitlen delegates at their meeting
adopted resolutions commending the
United States for intervening and oc
cupying that country.
The representatives of United States
business concerns on the Bolivian
committee recommended that that
country re facilitated in securing a
loan of $5,000,000 with which to com
plete the construction of a railroad
across South America, passing througii
Bolivia.
A description of the accomplishment
of the International High commission
toward promoting trade relations
among the countries of the Americas
was given by John Bassett Moore,
vice-chairman of the commission,
which was created by the first Pan
American financial conference held in
Washington In 1915.

52 Alleged Reds Give Bail.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20, Fifty-two
more alleged reds, taken in raids here
and In Passaic and Trenton, N. J.,
were released from Ellis Island to
day on bail. According to Miss Rose
Weiss, an attorney for 37 of the pris
oners, a bail fund of $150,000 in lib
erty bonds is available and from now
on about 30 a day will be released.
country, therefore,
that it is now necessary again to
stress the search for truth which will
not only promote production but also
less costly and cumbersome methods
of marketing. Attention therefore is
now once more focusing on experimentation."
Dean Johnson further indicated the
nadequate financial provisions made
for experimentation work. He showed
hat the annual appropriations made
n accordance with statutes are in no
case commensurate with the decreas-
ng value of the dollar and that a
grave danger at present confronts ex
perimentation throughout the country.
Tonight the visiting farmers and
peakers were entertained at the col-
ege auditorium by the department of
music of the state college.

Some Inside Facts
About the Piano Business
Pianos, like everything else, are made to meet a
variety of requirements. The instrument that fully meets
the needs of one home might be altogether unsuited to an
other. That piano house which has only a limited assort
ment of instruments at its disposal is apt to be tempted to
sell you a piano wholly unsuited to your requirements.
Moreover, the price asked for such an instrument
might be far above what the very best instrument for your
precise needs should cost.
The Great Cable Factories and other great fac
tories represented by The Wiley B. Allen Co. build a wide
variety of models instruments for every purpose at an
extensive range of prices. And each instrument whether
it be a Grand, Upright or an Inner-Player is the finest in
its class. Of that you can be sure.
The enviable reputation of The Wiley B. Allen Co.
is the natural outgrowth of almost fifty years of special
ized experience and leadership in the retailing of pianos
and player pianos for every need backed by the prestige
and reputation of the world's greatest piano factories.
Ours is a service for everyone No matter how
much or how little you want to invest, we can offer you a
beautiful and honestly made instrument you'll be proud to
own.
