A purse of between $300 and J400 has been raised here and at Prosper for the purpose of assisting; the county in securing the services of an expert criminal lawyer to prosecute the Harold Howell case at the third trial. The money was contributed in small smounts by signers of a petition to the governor asking for the appoint- ment of a deputy to prosecute the case. The signers are both men an women, largely parents, including some of the most prominent citizen of the county. They hold that evid ence so far produced warrants a more rigid prosecution of the case. MARSHFIEIJ5, Or., Feb. 24. (Spe. ctal.) Because of the presence of diseases subject to quarantine regula tions and an epidemic of light influ enza. ine circuit court term commenc ing February 2.1, has been postponed and will probably not be called be fore the second week in March. The term is expected to occupy about two weeks, the Howell case being the most important on the calendar, it being the third trial. The boy was 14 years old when Lil lian Leuthold was murdered in Ban don last July, and he has been an inmate of the county Jail since he was arrested for her murder a week or ten days after the tragedy. Own Tows Prejudiced. The third trial, because of the plea or nis rattier u. Howell, that he had exhausted his resources in defending his son. has caused widespread in terest throughout the state and sev eral communities are raising funds to provide for the expense of the future hearing. Because of the noto riety of the case, the selection of a third jury is looked upon as likely to prove difficult, for it is believed there is not a person in Coos county who Is not familiar with the case through read'.ng the lengthy accounts of the first and second trials and by seeing it widely commented upon. The case has been discussed in the local newspapers and where there was disposition at first to consider th case without opinion, the accounts have aroused people to determining in their minds the guilt or Innocence of the boy. Curiously, the most pronounced prejudice against Young Howell is in nis own town of Bandon. It is an nounced from there that a petition carrying about 400 names has been signed, requesting Governor Olcott to supply able legal assistance for Dis trict Attorney Hall, who was aided by A. J. Sherwood of Coquille in the first two trials. Mr. Fherwood has de clared his retirement from the case. The signers at Bandon are preparing a iuna 10 assist tne prosecution. Howell Petitions Aid. O. Howell asked ."00 from the county court to use In defense nf the boy. Charles F. ilcKnight. who de fended the case in the first trial, was awea by John C. Kendall of Marsh field, in the second trial, but it is understood some of the payments due from these trials have not been set led. Sir. McKnight has taken no part n tne can for help, but it is undei stood he intends going through to the end, even If there are no further lunrts in sight. The Bandon folks who are askine for assistance in the prosecution want n attorney of known ability, and the nformation comes from there that hey have been assured by the gov- rnor one win pe supplied, but the ttorney's fee must be furnished bv hose making the request, at least the laie win not stand responsible for t. Should the petitioners fall to uaranten this fund, it is nrobahle ne county win contribute toward it, the court is committed to the principle of aiding the district at umey. since special counsel was urnisnea betore. There is some be ef the county may furnish funds for the boy's defense, but in the event outside help comes as now indicated. ne county would be relieved of any cnon ana tne case would be tried Ithout the county court involving itself.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24. President Wilson was termed a "free trader' and the league of nations "a constitu tion for a world republic" by Senator Polndexter of Washington, in an ad dress tonight before the republican club of the Bronx. "One characteristic of a federated' world republic," he said, "as provided for in the original league constitu tion, is free trade between its several members. Just as there is between the states of our federal republic. It is inconsistent that federated states should Impose trade barriers in the way of Import duties against each other. It is quite significant that the American delegate at the peace con ference, who, by reason of the power of the United States, was largely re sponsible for the injection into the peace treaty of this constitution for world republic, namely; President Wilson, is a free trader. It is also well known that no greater economic 1 benefit could be bestowed upon u ropean nations with their cheaper la bor and less expensive standards of living, than free trade with the united States." benator Poindexter declared that the struggle the republican party has Deen compelled to make in the eenat to protect the constitution and the ndependence of the country against attacks by those sworn to preserve and defend them, is more like a strug gle by a defeated nation to obtain as favorable terms as possible from an uncompromising conquerer, rather than a treaty of peace dictated by a widespread Disposition to.

Warning mat serious risk of reduced food pro- auction impends because of high wages demanded by farm laborers, nign cost or farm equipments and supplies and pronounced movements of people from the farms to the cities, was given today by the sdepartment of agriculture on the basis of reports mm tetters irora all sections of the country. j "The most definite of these reports , tome irora new York state," the an ! nouncement said, 'where records of ana representative farms on Feb ruary 1 disclosed that during the last year the number of people decreased nearly 3 per cent and the number of hired men more than 17 per cent.

Auuiner new lork report, ap plicable in some degree in every part I of the country, is that farm wages mm year win average 14 per cent higher than in 1919. although in 1919 iney were 00 per cent higher than at the beginning of the war.

He saw what appeared to be a shadow on the track, but when ha hit the supposed shadow it proved to be a slowly moving freight train, which was taking the siding to let No. 17 pass.
