Efforts to Impeach Jurors
Blocked by Court.
LAWYER IS DISARMED
Stale Tries to Trove That V.
Ferguson, Passed to Box, Is In
Sympathy With "Beds."
BY BEX HUB. LAMPMAN.
MONTESA'XO, Wash., Jan. 29.
(Special.) Efforts to impeach jurors
already tentatively seated in the panel
which will try the 11 I. W. W. charged
with the murder of Warren O. Grimm,
victim of the Centralia armistice day
trasedy, were unsuccessful in superior
court here today, when Judpre John
M. Wilson denied all challenges. De
fense and prosecution fared alike and
the entire day was consumed by argu
ments relative to the challenges and
to re-examination of jurors previously
passed.
At the adjournment of court this
afternoon but two additional venire
men had been passed as temporary
jurors, bringing the total to eight.
They are C. C. Strayer, grain dealer,
Aberdeen, and P. R. Ames, farmer,
Oakville. The former was challenged
for cause by the defense with the
challenge denied. Ames was passed by
both state and defense, with brief
delay, at the close of the afternoon
session.
Eight Fan Tentative Test.
As now comprised the incomplete
membership of the tentative jury is
Thomas C. Connor, Montesano; S. A.
Youngs, Montesano W. K. Ferguson,
Hoquiam; Mrs. Emily C. Pattlson,
Aberdeen; Orton Glenn, Satsop; O. C.
Schneider, Aberdeen; C. C. Strayer,
Aberdeen, and P. R. Ames, Oakville.

nounced and enforced this morning
wnen Damns questioned every per
son admitted to the courtroom re

and declared the court's injunction
against bearing them. Officers of the
law alone were excepted.
So far as could be learned the rul

stance, that of George F. Vanderveer.
counsel for the defense. The .38
caliber automatic pistol which the
I. W. W. attorney hitherto has worn
was checked for safe keeping with
the clerk of court before its owner
entered the courtroom.
Influenza Increases Tension.
Added to the tension of the trial It
self is the anxiety occasioned by an
outbreak of influenza, said by Miss
Susan K. Desk, county, nurse, to ap
proach the proportions of a local epi
demic. Nine legionnaires attendant
on the trial are reported to be 111 with
the malady in the temporary barracks
in this city, though their conditions
are not serious.
In the strife to Impeach jurors, the
state, through the examinations by
W. H. Abel and C. D. Cunningham,
special prosecutors, directed fire
against W. F. Ferguaon, plumber of
Aberdeen, who has expressed radical
opinions, but eluded all efforts to
fasten the charge of bias upon his
testimony. VendVerveer, of the de
fense, attacked the record of tes
timony in the previous examination
of Thomas C. Connor of Montesano.
Challenges were issued In both in
stances, but denied by the court.
That state and defense have em
ployed agents to shadgw certain
Jurors and make report unon them
during the interim before the trial was
evidenced by the nature of the ques
tioning to which both counsels sub
jectea the aurora in the attempt to
Impeach.
Juror Alleged to Be "Red."
Searchingly Interrogated by Prose
cutor Abel regarding conversations
he .is alleged to have had since selec
tlon, the juror Ferguson denied all
Knowledge of the statements attribut
ed to him, though he admitted having
met the men named by the state as
those with whom he talked.
Though Ferguson insisted that ha
was not in sympathy with such views,
the state drew admission from him
that he had attended meetings of the
'Red Socialists" at the Finnish hall
in Hoquiam, and that he had presided
as chairman when speakers discussed
revolution and bloodshed. He at
firmed the statement that a red flag
is displayed at sucn gatherings.
AY hen the state sought leava to
produce witnesses to testify to re
marks alleged to have been made by
Ferguson, since his selection, and to
prove his -satisfaction at being one of
the panel, Vanderveer entered an ob
jection which was sustained on point
ol law.
The defense in its impeachment ef
forts turned its batteries most
strongly upon Thomas C. Connor, of
Montesano, seeking to show by re
examination that the juror was of
prejudiced mind and had already con
fessed to an opinion which it would
require evidence to remove.
Though Vanderveer exhorted vehe
mently, declaring that his voi
would carry far beyond the four
walls of the court room, his renewed
challenge of this juror was denied
after Prosecutor Abel had cited court
rulings and decisions, including those
of the United States supreme court on
similar instances.
The defense also sought, in the In
stance of Connor, to prove bias, inas
much as W. H. Abel, of the state, is
counsel for Connor in an important
civil suit.
O. C. Schneider of Aberdeen, ten
tative Juror, was re-examined and
challenged by . the state on the
grounds of illness, having said that
he is frequently troubled with severe
headaches. He has one son in the
state home for mental defectives and
another in the state asylum for the
insane. The court denied the chal
lenge. The challenge of the defense
against Orton Glenn, tentative juror,
on alleged fixed opinion, was denied.
Two Excused for Opinions.
E. J. Cot a. Woodlawn, and C. Man
kowiski. Aberdeen, were excused from
service because of fixed opinion. Eric
W. Johnson, laborer. Hoquiam. will
be examined tomorrow morning.
Four veniremen were examined dur
ing the forenoon, all being excused
with the exception of C. C. Strayer,
Aberdeen. Those excused were Sam
uel F. Berdine, saw filer, of Hoquiam;
Frank Watkins, merchant, Elma, and
Adolph J. Pietsch, Aberdeen. Grounds
of fixed opinion served for the re
jection of all three. '
In the examination of Strayer,
passed by the state with but slight
delay, the defense sought to establish
bias by virtue of impressions already
received by the talesman in reading
the newspaper accounts of the armi
stice day tragedy.
Juror Parries Throats.
The prospective Juror successfully
parried the thrusts of counsel, and
maintained that he will enter the
case with an open mind, abiding by
the evidence and the instruction of
the court. He sai that he believes
in the right of labor to organize. In
lawful picketing, and in the right of
free speech.
"If you were to tell a friend the
story in the Centralia affair," insisted
the defense, "you would tell him the
story as you read it in the news
papers, wouldn't you?"
"Yes, sir."
"And you would believe that you
were telling the truth?"
"No, sir, I would tell him that such
were the newspaper accounts."
Arrested under the state syndical
ism act, W. E. Hall, an alleged I. W.
W. organiser, was apprehended in
Montesano last night and taken to
Hoquiam, to appear in justice oourt
before J. C. Home. Bail in the
amount of $250 was promptly fur
nished by Attorney Vanderveer, who
declared that Hall has not been con
ducting a campaign of propaganda in
this city, but has been engaged in
duties as an investigator employed
by the defense.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. The. United
States treasury does not look with
favor upon certain features of the
proposed international conference, re
cently called by a coterie of nationalist-known
financiers and commercial
leaders in an effort to lead the world
from the commercial'ehaos into which
it was dragged by the war. j
Secretary Glass declared tonight in '
a letter to a committee of the clum
ber of commerce of the United States,
which had sought a government ex
pression on the meeting that such a
conference would serve "to cause con
fusion and revive hopes, doomed to
disappointment, of further govern
ment loans."
With a note of some finality, Mr.
Glass set forth the government's pol
icy vith respect to furnishing credits,
stating that the treasury "is opposed
to government control over foreign
trade and finance and even more op
posed to private control. It is con
vinced that the credits required for
the economic restoration must come
through private channels." In this
respect this government fears the pro
posed conference would mean many
Europeans would assume that the
United States was about to shoulder
more of their burdens, Mr. Glass ex
plained. The situation facing Europe, he
said, was one to be solved by the
activity of those nations and their
nationals and not for settlement ty
ny world-wide plan such as the pro
posed international conference contemplates.
Isnnea Held Impracticable.
Mr. Glass characterized as "im
practicable" international bond issues.
uaranties and international measures
for stabilization of exchange which
ere to be taken up at the conference.
uch plans never would" prove work
able, he believed, so long as there
xist inequalities in taxation and dif
ferences in the fiscal policies of the
countries involved. W hen these in
equalities and differences no longer
xist, reasons for the international
measures also will have vanished, he
sserted.
"It would be folly and unthinkable
to call upon the American people to
remedy the present inequalities in
exchange. These inequalities, means
for alleviation of which formed one
the principal bases for the con
ference, were born of a policy of taxa
ion less drastic in the European na
tions than here, Mr. Glass said.
Warning Is (yiven.
Relative to the solution of the ex
change puzzle, Mr. Glass warned that
this country could not continue to
xtend credits on a sufficient scale
cover the present swollen trade
balances while' paying cash (gold and
ilver) to Latin-American and far
astern traders. What the European
nations need now, he explained, is
working capital rather than so much
bank credit. Then, as a solution for
the Intricate situation and with
which it is mentioned incidentally the
proposed conference would be able
to do nothing more than discuss
Mr. Glass offers the following:
"If the peoples and governments of
Europe live within their incomes, in-
rease their production as much as
possible, and limit their importations
o actual necessity, foreign credits
to cover adverse balances would most
probably be supplied by private in-
estors and the demand to resort to
such impracticable .methods as gov
ernment loans and bank credits would
cease.
Advances Are Reviewed.
'The American government has
done all that it believes advisable and
practicable to aid Europe," Mr. Glass
said. He pointed out that since tha
armistice was signed the treasury
has made direct cash advances of
J2, 380, 891,000 to the allied govern
ments; it has made available $736.
481,000 to those governments through
the purchase of their currencies in
covering our expenditures in Europe;
It has sold through the army and
navy approximately $685,000, 000. in
supplies on credit and has extended
approximately 1100,000,000 in relief.
In addition, he explained, there has
been allowed to accrue unpaid inter
est aggregating $324,211,000.

STANLEY MYERS TAKES ISSUE
OVER SORENSON CASE.
in
Defendant's Counsel Admitted
Court Man Had Been Drinking,
Deputy City Attorney Says.
It not only was admitted by Attor
ney Ralph W. WilDur, appearing in
the circuit court for Nels Peter Soren
son. that his client virtually had run
amuck with his automobile, having
four accidents within one hour, but
t also was conceded that Sorenson
had been drinking that afternoon.
was the reply, of Stanley Myers
deputy city attorney, yesterday to the
SDeech of Circuit Judge Gatens at
Arleta Ba-Dtlst church Tuesday.
Judge Gatens had declared tnat tne
fact that Sorenson received no jail
sentence was due to the failure of
the city attorney's office to include
the element of intoxication in the
complaint drawn, only that Sorenson
had cut a corner and driven on the
wrong side of the street.
"Sorenson was charged with reck
less driving' said Myers yesterday.
"That he was druhk or had been
drinking was only a matter of evi
dence to prove the charge of reckless
driving. It was not proper or neces
sary for us to plead our evidence.
"Judge McCourt in the open session
asked Wilbur squarely if it were true
that Sorenson had four accidents In
45 minutes and had been drinking,
and the attorney admitted that It
was.
"If the complaint charged only a
minor offense, why did not the cir
cuit court so recognize It at the time
by cutting down the sentence for six
months' imprisonment? It Is a mat
ter of absolute record that the circuit
court majority of four out of six
judges did impose a six months' Jail
sentence on Sorenson. but in its mercy
suspended all the sentence but the
fine of $500. This was after two doc
tors reported that Sorenson was
physically fit to have served the sentence."

TOKIO, Tuesday, Jan. 27. (By the

Tanaka, minister of war, in reply to
an interpellation In the lower house
of parliament today when Baron

China, said he was unable to state
that the Japanese expeditionary forces
would be withdrawn from Siberia
after the withdrawal of the Czecho

Admiral Kato, minister of the navy,
both insisted that Japan's military

Recent Consul-General to Mexico
City Asserts Public Should Know
Why Diplomat Quit.
3SEW YORK. Jan. 29. fSnecial.l
George Agnew Chamberlain, recently
consul-general to the city of Mexico,
commenting today on the resignation
of Henry P. Fletcher as ambassador
to Mexico, intimated that the ambas
sador's retirement was due to a lack
of a definite policy of the United
States toward the Mexican republic.
Mr. Chamberlain today said he knew
from his two years' association with
Mr. Fletcher from May. 1917. to Au
gust, 1919 that what Mr. Fletcher as
ambassador to Mexico was compelled
to say when ha appeared last July
before the rules committee of the
house of representatives in Washing
ton did not agree with what he had
reported to the state department con
cerning conditions in Mexico.
Ambassador's Record Lauded.
"Why did they not give out' his let
ter of resignation with the reasons
that impelled him to act?" asked Mr.
Chamberlain.
"It seems to me that the American
public.li entitled to know why an am
bassador, the dean in our diplomatic
service, should throw away his career
Juat at the apex of his powers with
out any idea of the future and where
he is to engage himself in business.
"Mr. Fletcher served the govern
ment in various positions from the
bottom to the top of the diplomatic
ladder. Political influences never
were brought to bear to disturb him
in his career, and his record, at the
state department I speak advisedly
has no superior. Yet, after a two
years' struggle In Mexico he drops
ut of the service and nobody is in
formed why. I -believe the people
hould be told the whole truth in this
matter."
Mr. Chamberlain has had much ex-
erience in Latin-America, and espe-
lally In Mexico. He was asked what
e thought of the project for a group
f Americans to visit Mexico City next
month under the auspices of the
American chamber of commerce in
Mexico.
Peaee in Mexico Held Remote.
That wilfbe all right," he replied.
These trips are always arranged so
hat the Carranza government is fore
warned about them. There is just one
railroad line in Mexico th&t is open
and is kept open. That runs from
Laredo, Tex., to Mexico City. Now,
when an invading expedition, such as
he proposed one, leaves the border
t Laredo and gets into Mexican ter-
itory, a pilot train, fully armored.

ast car of their own train is ar
ored a. flat car with metal sides
bout five or six feet above the floor
with slots In it. Some 150 troopers
ccompany the train, of course. It
gets to Mexico City."
Mr. Chamberlain said that a genu
e peax:e in Mexico was remote
until the United States adopts and
nforces a definite policy with re
gard to Mexico.
"I know Mr. Fletcher told the gov
ernment this and pleaded vainly for
some clearly defined policy, he
added. "I say this, for I was intimate
y associated with him during the
two years we were in the great war.
Unless he could force those people
down there to enter into negotiations.
he would fail as an ambassador,
wouldn t he? Well, he did every
thing he could, and then saw nothing
but failure at the end. 1 am con
vinced this is back of his quitting his
job."
of the journey was to take up with
the Astoria chamber of commerce the
matter of obtaining a suitable land
ing field there. Steps toward this
end were taken at a conference Mr.
Jeffrey held with officials there.
The flight to Astoria was made in
one hour and 15 minutes, and the re
turn trip in an hour and 10 minutes.
