of
der him. Mr. Rutherford, who was
thought to be in California, sprang
something of a surprise when he ap
peared in person at the board meet-
l ine. He flatly refused to resign.
The board held that the petition
had no place before it. as they had
contracted with the superintendent.
and it also was thought that the
petition was somewhat hasty on the
pari o tne association.
The board praised the work of Mr.
Rutherford with the Eugene public
schools.
OWN INITIATIVE TAKEN
E.i-Gmrrnor Takes Over .lob of
Manazin? Campaign .Without
Consult! Proposed Candidate.
According to Oswald West, who Is
in charge of petitions to place Her
bert Hoover on the democratic ballot
in the presidential primaries. Mr.
Hoover is a democrat.
"To me a democrat is anyone with
brains and gumption and a desire to
do public good, ' defined Mr. west.
Tn view of the ruling that a presi
dential candidate can only get on the
ballot through his own initiative or
by a petition signed by 1000 members
of his own party, Mr. West says that
the petition will be used and that Mr.
Hoover will go on the democratic
ballot. The statement of Mr. Hoover,
in which he does not claim to be a
democrat, means nothing to the plans
and purposes of Mr. West. Mr.
Hoover is a democrat in his eyes and
in the eyes of the luOO who will sign
the petition, and that, considers Mr.
West, is sufficient.
Lant Coat Telln.
Mr. Hoover has not claimed iiem
bership in the democratic party, but
Air. West has, evidently, inside infor
mation, for the petitions which he
has caused to be printed request that
the secretary of state print on the I
official ballot the name of "Herbert C.
Hoover, who is a member of the demo
cratic party, a citizen of California,
and whose postoffice address is Shor
ham hotel, Washington. D. C, for the
purpose f enabling every qualified
elector of said democratic party to
vote his or her preference for his or
her choice for one person to be the
candidate for nomination by said
democratic party for the office of
president of the United States."
No matter what Mr. Hoover states
regarding his political affiliations', Mr.
West's petition claims him as
democrat.
"A hard-boiled democratic friend
of mine." continued Mr. West, "told
me that Hoover isn't a democrat.
pointed to a gray house we were
passing. That house is now painted
gray, but if you use a knife and
scrape the gray you will probably
find thai the house was once painted
red. And if you scrape deeper, you
may find it was once painted yellow.'
Hoover voted for Wilson, didn't he?
Well, that was the last time he
voted, so he is a supporter of Wil
son and a democrat. He was a gray
house. He may have voted for
Koosevelt in the past. It's the last
coat of paint that designates the
color of a house, and it's a man's
last vote that identifies bis party
Petitions Mailed Oat.
The petitions to place the name of
Mr. Hoover on the ballot were mailed
out this week. Mr. West says there
will be no trouble in getting the
needed thousand signatures. He says
he is surprised at the sentiment for
Mr. Hoover in Oregon, among repub
licans as well as democrats, and that
he is convinced that the people are
tired of politicians and want a change,
and that they favor someone with
executive ability who has proved that
ability.
In Mr. Hoover's boyhood days In
Salem Mr. West knew him. and that
is one reason for Mr. West now be
coming Mr. Hooveris unsolicited cam
paign manager. Another reason Is
that Mr. Hoover knows and under
stands the western country, and the
west has great problems to work out
which an eastern executive would not
be familiar with.
W ord Heard.
Incidentally, it may be mentioned
that Mr. West has not heard from Mr.
Hoover, directly or indirectly, regard
ing the petition business, and this
satisfies Mr. West perfectly. After
Mr. West has printed on the petition
that Mr. Hoover is a democrat, it
w ould be embarrasing for Mr.
Hoover to write out to Mr. West and
say that he is a republican.

The attack made by the American

mission was in session in Boise re
cently Harris resigned on the grounds
pressing business matters prevented
giving more time to the commission's
work.
He is from Grangeville and the post
there adopted resolutions in which
it declared: "The members of the
Grangeville post, No. 37, of the Ameri.
can Legion, feel that it is our place
and duty to take action against a cer

was a slacker.
and called for the propose of dis
cussing the I. TV. problem. William
Scales had presided. Ways and means
of ridding the city of the radicals
were debatea.
"Did not Chief of Police Hughes
and City Commissioner Saunders speak
of having consulted with the prose
cuting attorney and with the city
attorney relative to I. W. W. actlvl
ties?" Queried Vanderveer.
Instantly the prosecution entered
objection, with the defense claiming
the right of argument. The jury was
dismissed from court while counsel
engaged In one of the sharpest legal
controversies of the entire case.
Vanderveer declared that he sought
by the witness to prove that threats
were made against the L w. w. at
the Elks' club meeting and that
Hughes and Saunders had told the
assembled business men that they had
been advised there was no legal way
of ejecting the L W. W. from Cen-
tralia.
It was then asserted, declared Van
derveer, that F. B. Hubbard, presi
dent of the Protective league, an aux
iliary of the employers association,
said:
"It's a damned outrage. If I were
chief of police IV get rid of them In
24 hours," and it was at the same
meeting that seuffct committeemen
were appointed, asserted the defense,
to provide a plan for evicting the
radicals.
Charge la Trial Restated.
"The charge here is murder," said
W. H. Abel, special prosecutor, in re
ply. "In order to justify killing in
self-defense, the perscn killed must
be making an assault. Until today
counsel never claimed that Warren
O. Grimm near the hall and that
He knew of the all ;ged plans.
"The supposed justification for the
shooting Is now said to have been a
threatened raid. Whether the testi
mony is truthful or falsified, it is for
the jury to determine. But if it is
fabricated we 11 need it.
had renewed his protest against the
presence of the troops and had taken
issue with the court regarding the de
cision that they should remain. Coun
sel for the defense had again intimat
ed that he would withdraw from the
case unless the infantrymen were re
called.
"Are you ready to proceed in this
case?" inquired the court, having
ruled that no action would be taker
"We assume t!iat your honor leaves
us no discretion in the matter," said
Vanderveer. "We will proceed."
Judge Wilson said that in confer
ence with Sheriff Bartell and Major
Arthur Casey, commanding, he had
cone over the information furnished
by Herman Allen, prosecuting attor
ney for Lewis county, and had become
convinced that there was basis therein
for apprehension and the summoning
ol the troops.
"Considering all the circumstances,1
said Judge Wilson, "the court has
come to the conclusion that there is
a s -wing of necessity. The court
will not t-ke the responsibility of re
questing the removal of the troops."
Authorities Approve Move.
Vanderveer declared that the pur
pose of the troops was to create preju
dice against the defendants, that he
would not be party "to a drumhead
court-martial," and that he might be
compelled to withdraw if the Camp
Lewis contingent remained in the city.
In reply W. H. Abel, special prose
cutor, reminded the L W. W. attorney
that the defense had repeatedly stated
earlier in the case that it feared for
the safety of the defendants and an
ticipated clashes between American
Legionnaires and I. W. W. attendants
at the trial. Mr. Abel also pointed
out that the summoning of troops was
approved by County Prosecutor Stew

F. B. Hubbard, president of the
i-astern Railway & Mill company
planned to drive the I. W. W. from
the city and instigated a raid to be
held by American Legionnaires on
Armistice day, the defense again
called to the stand Britt Smith, de
fendant, former secretary of the Cen
tralia I. W. W. local.
Argument centered about the identl
ficatlon and entrance as evidence of
copies of the Centralia Chronicle and

out Mrs. McAllister's testimony as
incompetent and irrevelant, inasmuch
as it offered no proof of any threat.
Recalled to the stand, Mrs. Mc
Allister testified that a legionnaire
named Radcliffe had warned her
against nrmiltinv H ilicnlav of nn
' I. W. W. Knntr Kn.il jn th. urinrinw of
the hall. He had told her that "the
boys" might take action if it were
not removed. She repeated the warn
ing to Britt Smith.
Smith testified, that, in an effort
to forestall the raid, 1000 circulars
of appeal to the people of Centralia
were printed and distributed. The
circular was not admitted as evi
dence.
"The boys wanted to know what
to do," said Smith. "I believed in
the protection of the hall at all
times."
The witness declared that T. C.
Morgan. Mike Sheehan, Bert Faulk
ner, Wesley Everst. Ray Becker,
James Mclnerney and himself were
in the hall when the parade passed.
His first knowledge of the alleged
attack came when he saw a soldier
at the window, and another kicking
at the door. A shot sounded within
the hall, others followed in rapid
sequence. He ran to his desk to get
his own weapon.
Smith declared that he did not know
who fired the first shot. As for him
self he did not fire, but hid his
weapon on the rear porch, where it
was found the next day. There had
been no intent, he said, to shoot down
innocent marchers.
The witness also testified that
Elmer Smith, defendant, had con
ferred with him before the parade,
and had told him that the I. W. W.
possessed the right to defend their
hall. He denied pointing out strat
egic locations across the street All
the men in the hall were armed,
testified the witness.

serving for ourselves the right to
show that such proof is by perjured
testimony."
Chief of todays witnesses was
Britt Smith, ex-secretary of the Cen
tralia I. W. W. local, who Is alleged
to have supervised the plans for de
fense and the stationing of riflemen
in locations other than the 1. W. W.
hall.
Pouting of Gunmen Approved.
Smith s testimony developed one
significant fact the admission that
he did suggest and approve of the sta
tioning of riflemen in the Arnold ho
tel, one of the points from which the
state alleges shots were fired.
An entirely new phase entered the
case in Smith's testimony a phase
that has hitherto been unmentioned
when the defendant witness test!
fied that the first shot was fired
by an unknown legionnaire, outside
the hall, who used a revolver. Un
til this shot was fired, testified the
witness, there was no rush made, nor
were any shots fired by the defend
ants. The incident of the unknown
legionnaire was not mentioned by
Smith in a statement made and eworn
to by him after his arrest and which
was offered in evidence today.
Farther Knowledge Denied.
In general Smith denied that he
knew where radical riflemen were
stationed outside the hall, though
he had supposed that they were In
strategic locations ready to aid in
the defense. Though many shots
were fired from the hall, he said
that he did not know who fired the
shots or who was armed. All of the
defendants, he testified, with the
possible exception of Mike Sheehan,
knew of the defensive programme.
William White, sign painter of Ta-
coma, testified that it was he who
found the -38-55-caliber rifle which
the state alleges was used in the
slaying of Grimm. He was working j
on a eign board near Centralia when
he found the rusted weapon and its
cache of cartridges.
The testimony of White was in
contradiction to that of E. J. Lind
ley. advertising man of Centralia,
who owned the sign board, and who
testified as a state's witness that
he found the weapon. White said
that Lindley did not find it, but on
the contrary, Lindley paid him $10
for the rifle, saying that he knew
that it was being 60ught by the
state and that he would turn it over
to C. D. Cunningham, special prose
cutor. Judge Wilson was firm in hu de
mand that Venderveer proceed with
for the attack, presumably by him
as commander, and .we will prove that
Grimm in person attacked the halt
We will produce evidence to show
that he was within three or four feet
of the door of the hall and that he
was shot somewhere around that posi
tion. "We will also prove that Wesley
Kveret, inside the hall, fired the first
shot from a 45-caliber automatic
pistol, and that it was he who shot
Watt, Casagranda and one other sol
dier who was wounded."
"Will your proof show that Grimm
was shot from the hall?" interposed
C. D. Cunningham, special prosecutor.
"Our proof will show that he was
shot while attacking the hall," re
sponded the I. W. W. counsel.
Overt Act Evidence Required.
Dozens of witnesses for the state
have testified that Grimm stood at
the intersection of Second street and
Tower avenue, more than 100 feet from
the I. W. W. ball at the head of his con
tingent, when a heavy caliber bullet
smashed through his body, inflicting
the death wound.
"You must show an overt act on the
part of Grimm, and that he was a
party to the alleged conspiracy,"
ruled the court.
"We will show both," promised the
defense.
Offered as evidence the articles in
the two Centralia papers announced
meetings to be held by the employers
In the Elks club, and gave subsequent
reports of these meetings. The meet
ings were for the discussion of plans
to rid the city of the I. W. W. One of
them told of the drafting of an ordi
nance to be presented to the city
council.
There isn't a line that he has read
in those papers that rises to the dig
nity of half a threat." commented C
D. Cunningham, special prosecutor.
In examination of Britt Smith the
defense attempted to hark back to
the incident of 1918. when an I. W. W.
hall was raided in Centralia. Upon
objection by the state, the court ruled
that the defense must bring the con
nection down to Warren O. Grimm,
with a clearer train of testimony.
Both Britt Smith and Mrs. Mary
McAllister, the latter owner of the
Roderick hotel and the I. W. W. hall
property, testified regarding appeals
made to the authorities to furnish
protection to the hall. Smith said
that knowledge of the impending raid
was common talk. '
"Yes. I'll do the best I can for you,"
was the answer attributed to Chief
of Police Hughes of Centralia, by
Mrs. McAllister.
Judge Wilson sustained a motion

V. S. BAKERY, Portland, Oregon
Pay for Propaganda Admitted.
On cross-examination the witness
testified that he received $4 a day
to spread propaganda, and that he did
not believe In violence unless it be
came necessary. Ke had talked with
Loren Roberts, defendant, about sta
tioning riflemen in the Arnold hotel,
but had not advised the defendant to
go there or to take a rifle. Roberts
had said that "It would be 'a bad
place."
"Do you mean to- tell me that
Everest was the only man who shot?"
asked Special Prosecutor Abel.
"I didn't say that," answered Smith.
"You wanted men stationed where
they would do the most damage?"
pressed Abel.
I though it would be a good place,"
answered Smith, referring to the
Arnold. It was here that the witness
made the startling statement, men
tioned for the first time in the de
fense, that the first shot fired, so far
as he knew, was fired by a uniformed
legionnaire in the street before the
hall.
The prosecution drew his atten
tion to the fact that following his ar
rest he had made a sworn statement
to C. D. Cunningham of state counsel
and had at that time failed to men
tion such an incident. Smith replied
that It was because he had not been
interrogated on that point. i

Smith, examining the envelope, "but

President Wilson "knows that he is now quite up to his fighting weight As to his mental
vigor, it is simply prodigious. He is' giving splendid attention to the affairs of state, and
we have every assurance that he will become progressively more active in these matters
with the advent of spring and sunshine," according to one of the President's physicians.
Disturbing, however, are the words of Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan, former President of the
American Medical Association, who says that "the disease of the arteries," from which the
President is suffering, "is permanent and not a temporary condition." Whatever the Presi
dent's mental and physical condition, in the opinion of the medical men, he has emphasized
his return to public life by receiving a delegation of railroad labor leaders, by sending to
the Allied Supreme Council a virtual ultimatum on the Fiume controversy, and by drop
ping his Secretary of State. The latter action startled the public and aroused a storm of
criticism, much of it unfavorable to the Chief Executive.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for February 28th, there is an illuminating article, illus
trated with striking cartoons, upon the return of President Wilson to his official duties.
It presents the editorial opinion of American newspapers upon the President's recent
activities and gives various reasons why Secretary Lansing was asked to resign.
