With the Jury sworn In, the opening statement of the prosecution delivered, and two weary weeks of venire examinations in the limbo of the past, the third week of the L W. W. murder trial will begin -".hen Judge John II. Wilson convenes court here tomorrow. Charged with first decree murder, for the killing of Warren O. Grimm, one of the four victims of the I. W. W. attack upon an Aralstice day parade in Centralis, Wash., November 11, last, 11 I. W. W. defendants are on trial. All were members of the Centralis "wobbly" local and are alleged by the state to have conspired with murder ous intent and effect against the American Lejrion. certain posts of which participated in the parade. Plea Is SclX-IMeiise. Appearing for the state are Her man Allen, prosecutor of ljev.it county, where the u-ime occurred: W. H. Abel, special prosecutor of lion tesano, and C. D. Cunningham, spe.- cial prosecutor of Centralia. The de fense is being conducted by "George P. Vanderveer, reputed chief counsel of the national organization of the I. W. W.; Elmer Smith, former prac ticing attorney of. .Centralia, and one of the defendants who is to appear as his own counsel. The plea of the defendants, it lias been announced, is self-defense. An effort will be made to show that members of the American Legion "rushed" the I. W. W. hall in Cen tralia before the radicals fired a shot. The state, in its opening outline of the prosecution's case, denied this and declared that the veterans in the parade were in line and marking time when rifle bullets thudded into the bodies of Grimm end other comrades. Conspiracy Is CkaoEed. That the tragedy was the fruit'on of a conspiracy laid weeks in advance, and that the firing upon the ex-service men was not in self-defense, but was a premeditated, murderous sault, is what the state has declared it will produce many witnesses to substantiate. First witnesses to be called in the trial, who will take the stand to morrow for the prosecution, will tes tify with respect to the identification of maps, photographs and diagrams il lustrating the scene of the armistice day tragedy on Tower avenue, Cen tralia, and illustrating also the low l! - , ,M. .

Tenn., Feb. 8.(Spe cial.) Attorney-General R. A. My nau suspecting foul play with re venge as motive has ordered investi gation of the mysterious death of Willie Bowman, IS years 6id. Western Union messenger boy whose body par tially astride of his newly purchased bicycle was found under the city water wagon standing on North Cen tral street near Bearden place last Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. A watch in the pocket of the lad had stopped at :14 o'clock. There were no marks of violence on the body and outside of a slightly bent rear mud guard, the wheel was not damaged. The lad evidently had been nau seated while under the Wagon and previously had eaten peanut candy. He wore glasses and the lenses were found broken. With only these facts -apparent, the theory advanced that he had collided ' with a wagon while riding with his head down, to avoid cold rain, vwas accepted without further questioning. When Mynatt read the newspaper ridge known as Seminary bill, whera I report of the finding of the lad's three I. W. W. riflemen were sta- body, he recalled thaUa newsboy of tioned in a commanding position, ac cording to the confession of one of the accused. State Has 260 Witnesses. These witnesses are E. C. Dohn state engineer; Sheriff John Berry of Lewis county: Sidney Gallagher, en gineer, and C. N. Bevans, photogra pUer. It is probable that they will take the stand tomorrow morning, immediately after court convenes, though the defense has intimated that it may introduce a statement at that time in comment upon the opening statement of the prosecuion. If all witnesses named by the state and by the defense actually are called to testify, the period of the trial wili ctretch away beyond prophecy. Pres ent estimates are that the case will not. go to the jury within six weeks, and possibly not for two months. The state has named 260 witnesses while the defense has stated that it will summon more than 100. Noted Radicals Expected. Today's trains brought to Monte sano numbers of the witnesses of the state, especially those who expect to testify early in the case. To the present the gathering of adherents of the defense has been limited to itinerant labor organizers, I. W. W, secret investigators and friends and relatives of the accused men. When the defense, opens its case, however. it is surmised that many radicals, some of national note, will appear in this city. Several score of American Legion members from various posts through out the northwest have been here since the case opened. They are quartered in an Improvised barracks and have a commissary and kitchen of their own in the city hall. lary Takes an Airing. The jury took the air today, with special bailiffs chaperoning 4he party. The men who are to weigh the evi dence and determine the fate of the defendants marched in a column of two about the residence streets of the city, conversing with none save fel low jurymen, and returning in a half hour to their guarded quarters In the courthouse. George F. Vanderveer, I. W. W. counsel, has several times expressed dissatisfaction with the personnel of the guard now placed upon the jury. It was upon his remonstrance that one special bailiff was removed as objectionable to the defense. Vanderveer Pieka Guard. Still unsatisfied, Vanderveer asserts that he will appoint a spe'clal guard to watch the corridor before the jury quarters and to see that no un authorized persons approach. " "I have picked the man," said the I. W. W. counsel. "He is an ex-soldier and will be in uniform. I'm not divulging his name now, but I don't mind saying that he is known as a two-gun man. That's straght. He can break glass balls in mid-air. I don't heed permission of the court to appoint him. He can approach the jury as closely as can any other per son and that's all we require." this name had been an eyewitness to a murder at the corner of Central and Vine streets, several months ago. My natt today said: "If it is deemed neces sary I will have a post mortem ex amination made.

Miss Gail Laughlin, bresident of the national organization, in answer, asserted history, proves that "work of any kind belongs to the one that can best do it."

(Special) That the Bill before congress provid ing for termination of federal con trol of the railroads does not properly protect the rights of state commis sions in the control and regulation of intrastate rates and service as here tofore exercised by them, is the con' tention of H. H. Corey, member of the Oregon public service commission In a letter written to John J. Esch, chairman of the committee on inter state and foreign commerce. Mr. Corey's letter in part says: "We have received a copy of House Bill 10433, an act to provide for the termination of federal control of rail roads and system of transportation, which further amends the interstate commerce commission act of 1887. "This I do not believe properly pro tects the rights, of state commissions in the regulation and control of intra state rates and service as heretofore exercised by them. There appears to be a determined effort to take, from the state commissions the power which they have heretofore ejtarcised. and there is a lack of full information on the part of members of congress, both, of the house and senate, in re gard to the authority the state com missions have and the manner in which it is exercised, and the use fulness of these commissions to the peoples cf'the states in passing upon and adjusting local disputes and con troversies with carriers. "Also there is a false impression prevailing that the orders of the state commissions are burdensome to the carriers. I know that this is not true. Their particular relations to the serv ice is such that they bring about re sults mutually beneficial to both par ties, and useful not only-jo the gen eral public, but to the carriers as well." OIL L1ND FIGHT OPPOSED PALMER OUTLINES DECISIOX IX TRACT- GRAJfT CASE. Bad Fatth on Part of Southern Pa-1 cific Held Not Evident; Pro posed Action Held Frivolous. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Holding ihof it i tint the eovfernment's duty to clog the courts with frivolous and hopeless appeals. Attorney- General Palmer, in a statement tonight out' lined the basis for the government's decision against carrying to the sir preme court the Southern Pacific oil land cases, which decision has been the subject of protest by Gifford Pinchot. ex-chief of the bureau of forestry, in letters to Mr. Palmer and to" President Wilson. Indisputable evidence, the statement asserts, was presented in the trials of the oil cases in the lower court that at the time the tracts in ques tion which are located in southern California, were granted in 1892-1897, the Southern Pacific railroad had no knowledge that, the lands were- oil bearing. Also, it adds, evidence was produced showing that the Southern Pacific for years after receiving the grants, 'had the lands on the market as' agricultural and sold large acre' ages as such. Therefore, in the opinion of Mr. Palmer, granting of the lands, later found to contain oil, could not be held void on a charge of bath faith in their acquisition, his position, it is added. was concurred in by government at torneys acquainted with the case. The statement continues: "Nothing but the most perverted im agination could suggest any relation betweeji some cases, involving oil leases, which I tried some years ago in Oklahoma for Pennsylvania Clients small .independent oil producers, andw this Southern Pacific litigation. Pinchot's studied effort to create the impression that these cases are simi lar to the Southern Pacific litigation 13 cowardly, because he avoids a direct charge, and contemptible because he seeks to create a false impression."

BAN FRAXCISCO, Feb. 8, Twenty- five persons, mostly women, here are In hospitals suffering from burns re ceived In a lire which burned through every floor of the five-story Berk hire apartment hotel here early to day. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9. Occu pants of the top floor of the Berk shire apartment hotel we're trapped by fire which broke out early today and the fate of a number is doubtful. Four alarms brought virtually the entire fire-fighting force of the city to the scene. The fire, the origin of which Is un known, started in a. hallway on the third floor. Maly persons crowded down the fire escapes or jumped from windows or platforms of fire escapes. Others "were carried from the burn ing building by firemen and police men. At 12:40 A. M. it -was believed all or nearly all the occupants of the first, second and third floors had made their way or been carried away from the building. Flamen Break Through Roof. At that hour the police bSlieved no one had escaped from the floors above. The fire gradually was burn ing upward and a few minutes later had broken through the rbof, and plumes of flame were appearing above the building. An explosion, apparently on the fourth floor, blew out a portion of the walls on the levels of the fifth and sixth floors. The structure Was five stories highi Notwithstanding all efforts on the part of the firemen, the flames broke through the roof in other places, and soon the building became a huge torch, blazing literally from bottom to top. Fugitive "l'aken Into Homes. Occupants of the apartment house, many of whom escaped with little be yond their night clothing, were cared for in nearby hotels and other apart ment houses, some being taken in by friends and some being billeted by the police in places where accommo dations were available. The building was located at the corner of Polk and Jones streets, in section devoted largely to apart ment houses, some of them exclusive and demanding high rentals. The building was of brick. At 12:47 the fire was declared -pari. ly under control." The flames apparently had ournea through every floor, from basement up, and through the roof. The fire department believed every person had . been removed from the four lower floors. Their ladders would reach only that high. Ladders were raised to reach several windows out Of which women hung, screaming for help. The police estimated the number of occupants of the building at 100. Defi nite figures could not be naa eariy today. , At 1 o clock the police and lire de partment still were without definite knowledge as to whether all persons had escaped the flames, or as to the number who might have lost their lives. The scattering of occupants of the huildlner among other establish ments in the vicinity made a check difficult.
