f.rr. Calhoun replied that this was
true, but added- that while one pnase
might be shammed, or suggested to
the defendant, the gathering together
of all the hallucinations and delu
interests, leading up to the tragic
finis of Armistice day.
Just before court adjourned Britt
Smith, defendant, secretary of the
I. W. W. local of Centralia, took the
stand for the purpose of proving the
contention that the hall was attacked
by legionnaires before any shot was
fired in defense.
Smith identified several marked
copies of Centralia newspapers and
testified that the I. W. W. local had
discussed ways and means to combat
sions, together with the defendant's I and 0ffSet the hostile sentiment de-

Tanderveer Ia Bitter. I
Vanderveer was at his bitterest ,' COX SLDERATIOjr
when he argued against the presence
of troops in Montesano, declaring that
the only purpose in calling tnera
would be to prejudice the Jury, and
that no occasion exists lor tne sum'
moninsr of federal aid to keep the
gene Barnett, wife of the defendant.
Mrs. Barnett entered the courtroom
with her two-year-old son, who ran
to hie father, seated among the ac
cused, and cuddled In Barnett'a lap
throughout the period of Mrs. Bax-
nett'a testimony.
Mrs. Barnett Testifies.
Mrs. Barnett testified that her bus
band asked her to accompany him to
Centralia on Armistice day, but that
she declined. He carried with him the
package of geranium plants, posting
of which forms an integral part of
Barnett's alibi, addressed to her
mother, Mrs. Barnett Downer, Cotton
wood, Idaho. . .
J. D. Jones, farmer, living on the
Kopiah road, testified that he talked
with Barnett as the defendant rode
home on Armistice day afternoon,
that he had no rifle and that there
seemed nothing unusual in his man
ner. '
" When Abel, for the state, attempted
to cross-examine the witness relative
to the nature of the conversation, the
defense objected and was sustained,
whereupon the state told the witness
to hold himself in readiness for a call
to testify in rebuttal.
prisoner One of me guaras was
quoted as saying that they did not
think they would do anything with
Jloberts. because they thought he
would tell his story. He told me these
conversations kept up all night.' and
that the guards talked of the lynching
of Wesley Everetts."
Pierce testified that Roberts thought
he was arraigned in court at the time
lie utured his first confession. In
Olymria.
Since then, said the Seattle lawyer,
Roberts had declared that he "was
flamed" and had asked Pierce to take
lis case, expressing dissatisfaction
with George F. Vanderveer, counsel
far the defense.
"He said that he did not kill Grimm,
but 1 do not recall that Grimm's name
-was mentioned to him." testified
Pierce under cross-examination.
Fellow Defendants Called.
I feel that the court ought to de
cide whether or not this case Is go
ing to be conducted as a lawsuit or a
drumhead court-martial," declared the
I. W. W. attorney.
He asserted that Sheriff jeir tsar-
tell of Grays Harbor county had not
been consulted concerning the call
ing of troops, and that the sheriff had
insisted, when he learned that Camp
Lewis was sending a detachment, that
no occasion existed for their presence

Co-operation May Be All Right for
Perishable Articles, but Xot for
Wheat, Says W. W. Harrah.
PENDLETON, Or.. Feb. 25. (Spe
cial. ) "Purely co-operative "methods
In .handling grain are not practicable
in the opinion of recognized leaders in
marketing even though they may be
for the marketing of perishable prod
ucts, such as fruit, vegetables, poul
try and dairy products. Such plans
where, they have been tried have in
variably tailed, except in the old
country, where men and methods are
so similar and where land tracts are
relatively small. We, in the west, are
too much individualists to work under
purely co-operative plan," declared
W. W. Harrah. Pendleton farmer, and
director of the Trt-State Terminal
company, in explaining his'opposition
to the so-called Washington market
ing plan.
Mr Harrah went on to explain that.
to the best of his- knowledge, thie
plan was just another step in the op
position that has been directed against
the tri-stato terminal association.
Since its organization the decision was
made that stock shall carry the voting
power. At that time and as a result
of that decision, Mr. Harrah says, the
association lost one-third of its
members.
"Wheat," eays Mr. Harrah, "is not
difficult to turn into money. There
is not the need of the immediate mar
ket that perishable products require.
It is his belief that the Washington
plan would cot live up to the prom
ises' of easy money for the fanner
made by its proponents. :
