Rising: living costs, which the workers claim have absorbed the aily 50 per cent wage increase granted by local box factories two months ago, has caused the millmen s nion to reiterate its demands that were his jurors to be of same con dition of mind as -he now is. With whiskers that Russia would welcome as near to the vogue, and with a genuine willingness to assist the state in determining his status, James W. Lamb, 74, of Montesano, asserted that he is not only a social ist but that the principles of the soviet in many particulars find echo In his belief. By coincidence, though no relation ship exists, this venireman has a son named John Lamb. One of the 11 de fendants is also named John Lamb. Further than this, the grandson of the venireman is named Dewey Lamb. The defendant, John Lamb, has a brother named Dewey Lamb. 'Are you a socialist, Mr. Lamb?" queried W. H. Abel, special prosecu tor. "I am," was the answer. "Are you a bolshevik?" "I have said that as far as I could understand some of their principles were all right." '"Haven't you often stated that you were a bolshevik? "That has been my statement, I suppose," replied Lamb. Though the defense strongly re sisted the challenge by the state on the grounds of deafness, when the juror had failed utterly to catch many plainly spoken queries. Judge "Wilson sustained the challenge and the elder ly, avowed radical was dismissed from service. Grimm'a Friend Dismissed. J. B. Carlisle, furniture dealer. Mon tesano, who knew Warren O. Grimm, whose death is the basis on which the murder charges rest, and who played football with the embryonic star of Washington gridiron fame- when they were boys, was dismissed "from serv ice upon challenge by the defense, which alleged an opinion to exist in the mind of the prospective juror. Decided opinion on the issues of the case brought dismissal from service to August Paulsen, shipworker of Hoquiam, as was also the case with reference to John A. Eaton, farmer, of Klma. "I don't believe in capital punish ment," was the declaration that won excuse for Kric W. Johnson, venire man of Hoquiam. i lxed and unalterable opinion rormea tne oasis or excuse in the in stance of Fritz Wetzel, cigarmaker of Hoquiam, who asserted that hi mind was so formulated that evidence could not alter it. E. E. Torpen, 66, retired farmer Montesano, was passed for cause by both state and defense. He is the father of eight children and had one boy in the service. The right of labor to organize and assemble was admit ted by the juror, who held that he had no opinion in the present case and could give the defendants and the state an equal and impartial hearing, "Have you conscientious scruples against the death penalty?" asked W. H. Abel, of state. "Some," was the answer, "but think I could abide by the law with regard to that. Rlsht o Met Affirmed. "Do you admit the right of peopl to meet freely to discuss problems of government, in an honest effort t find remedies?" queried Vanderveer in examination. in an honest effort, I do, yes, rc spnnded the juror. John E. Hill, poultryman, Hoquiam, passed lor cause by both state defense, said that he had no scruple against the dfath penalty, that h had read but little of the armistice day casp, had no antipathy to th i. w. w .. naa lormea no nxed opin ion regarding the defendants, and be lieved that he could give them a fai trial. In interrogating this talesman vanderveer injected the labor ele ment again, asking the talesman if he believed that capital should b permitted all the profits of industry.

Hill testified that he had been ap proached by men who purported to represent the Seattle Union Recor ana the political organization known as the triple alliance, but had d clined their advances, having no su picion that they were investigators hired by the defense to secure the sentiment of veniremen: "How was this man dressed who tried to enlist you in the triple alliance?" queried the counsel for the defense. "He wore a mackinaw," hesitatingly began the juror. "I think Hall was the man who called on him." calmly volunteered the I. W. W. counsel. A. H.

Every candi date has his good days and his bad days. Today was a good one for General Leonard Wood, in the reports reaching Washington on the republic an presidential contest. One particu larly favorable development was the losing up of the Coolidge headquar ters in Washington, with the explan- tion that the Massachusetts gover or had declined to stand for any or ganized effort in his interest. This puts an entirely new aspect on the battle for delegates in Massa- husetts. which will have 36 votes in the republican national convention. The contest in the Bay state will now be a fight between those who would nstruct the delegation for General Wood and those who demand an un pledged delegation. This also is the plan of the fight in New Hampshire. Majority to Be Instructed. A Wood leader in Massachusetts said today that a majority of the delegates will be instructed for Wood and the unpledged balance will be for him on at least three ballots. He said that the unpledged delegates will be not more than one-third of he delegation. - Ex-Senator Alurray Crane is leading the fight for an un instructed delegation. Ex-Senator Weeks is more friendly to Governor Lowden, but is not active because General Wood has filed as resident of Massachusetts. The Wood leaders have gone forth to make a fight for Indiana since the announced retirement of Governor Goodrich from the contest. And while fighting for Indiana they are trying to get Kentucky. General Wood is now in the middle west and was to be the guest today at Louis ville of A. T. Hert, Kentucky nation al committeeman. Other Reports Optimistic. Wood managers were feeling equal ly good today over reports from New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and New York. E. C. Stokes, republican state chairman of New Jersey, assured Wood headquar ters that a canvass of the state com mittee showed overwhelming support for General Wood. On the other hand William P. Verdon of Hoboken, re publican leader of Hudson county and manager of the Hiram Johnson cam paign in New Jersey, attawking the Wood campaign said it contemplates nomination of Senator Walter E. Edge for vice-president. Support Thrown to General. This was interesting news because it was the first hint that Senator Edge has thrown his support to the General. Wood and Lowden are still admittedly the leaders In the nation wide contest, but who holds third place in the race is an interesting puzzle today. Senator Warren G. Harding has been rated third on ac count of the large number of dele gates he is likely to have from Ohio at the start, but Hiram Johnson is running him a dead heat for the po sition. , ers to There are indications that Johnson will pick up a few delegates here and there and everywhere in such a fashion that he Will have a fairly good total before the convention meets. The Johnson manager said last night: Johnaon Manager Confident. "Senator Johnson will come into the republican national convention with more delegates from west of the Mississippi river than any other can didate. And we are confident that he will have as many delegates from east of the Mississippi as any other candidate." As to the Harding campaign, too much should not he' expected because it has only started. The Ohio senator has great possibilities as a candidate. He is possessed of a personality that wins. He is a captivating speaker and must be reckoned with seriously.

Bourne la Poindexter Leader. Ex-Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon, is in the open as the Poindexter leader and it must be ad mitted that he has proved a genius at getting his candidate before voters of more than a score of states, in the last few weeks. The New York World prints a dis patch from Indianapolis today quot ing State Senator Robert Bracken, a prominent democrat, as saying that democratic sentiment in Indiana is for Hoover while republican leaders are very generally for Wood. The World, while declaring that it can see nothing but Hoover on the demo cratic side, ventures to discuss the republican contest to the extent of volunteering this information: "As the situation now stands there are really only three candidates for the republication nomination Leon ard Wood, Hiram Johnson and Gov ernor Lowden.'.' Frank A. Munsey, publisher of the New York Sun, figures as a hero in some of the political gossip here and in New York. Republicans as well as a great many democrats appear to be gratified at the report that he put up $4,000,000 to buy the New York Herald and Telegram to keep it from falling into the hands of Wall street financiers, headed by Henry Baruch, noted stock speculator, who wanted to use it in promoting the McAdoo candidacy. The Herald will go out of existence tomorrow morning. STARTING TODAY FOR ONE WEEK OF PLEASURE AND GLEE CHARLES k.
