Foetponement of Circuit Court to
Throw Murder Case on
March Docket.
BANDON, Or., Feb. . (Special.)
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

the court is committed to the
principle of aiding the district at

"FREE TRADER" IS SCORED
POIXDEXTEKT SAYS WILSOX
WAXTS WORLD REPUBLIC.
Author of League of A'ations Is At
tacked In Address to Bronx
Republicans.
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

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Warning
mat serious risk of reduced food pro-

of agriculture on the basis of reports

"The most definite of these reports

of the country, is that farm wages

higher than in 1919. although in 1919
