MOXTESAXO. Wash.. March 12.
- (Special.) With the specific plea that
. all of the ten I. W. W. defendants
be found guilty of murder in the first
degree for ' the killing of Warren O.
Grimm, victim of the Centralia
Armistice-day tragedy, the state con
cluded argument at 10:15 o'clock to
night, when the case went to the
Jury, after seven weeks of trial.
"Before your country and before
jour God you can find no other ver
dict than murder in the first degree,"
declared W. H. Abel, special prose
cutor, in addressing the Jurors.
At 10:20 o'clock, with the court
room still packed to capacity. Judge
Wilson called the four bailiffs to take
the oath, intrusted the jury to their
vigilance and bade the jury retire to
deliberate upon their verdict.
Early Verdict Expected.
It is expected that a verdict will be
reached before tomorrow afternoon,
though many contend that disagree
ment will result. Under the court's
Instructions, however, it 6eems cer-
tain that a verdict must be agreed
upon, either for guilt or innocence, in
the instance of each defendant, so
clear cut was the judicial advice. Xa
verdict is expected tonight, however.
The election of a foreman will un
doubtedly be" succeeded hy slumber
until morning.
In the closing argument for the
state Prosecutor Abel reviewed the
evidence and the testimony and as
serted that by both the attempted
alibi of Eugene Barnett, defendant,
had been riddled.
Verdict of Guilty la Anked.
Basing his argument upon instruc
tion No. 50, in the court's charge to
the jury, Abel declared that by the
interpretation of the evidence in the
light of this instruction, every one
of the defendants must be found
guilty.
This instruction declared that the
right of self-defense did not provide
for the placing of men with high
powered rifles at places off the
premises being defended, and advised
the jury that if two or more of the
defendants so planned, or carried
out such a plan and as a natural re
sult of which Grimm was shot and
killed such killing would be murder,
and each and all of the defendants
so planning or participating would
be guilty of murder.
Testimony Held Terjured.
"Tor five long days," asserted Abel,
"w dared counsel to prove that War
ren O. Grimm was anywhere near the
I. "W. W. hall. Finally he was abso
lutely driven to the wall, and then
came the perjured testimony the
testimony that was untrue!
"The I. W. W. organization Is not
a shield for murderers. Behind the
shield of that organization no man
may say that he can shoot down at
will men in the street.
"You nnderstand, gentlemen, that
what was done on that day was In
tended." (Here the prosecutoncited the
weapons that were taken at the hall, I
the Avalon. the Arnold and Seminary
hill by the defendants.) "The killing
ef Grimm waa willful murder. There
can under no circumstances in this
case be a verdict of murder in the
second degree.
Vaaderreer Is Ckalleaged.
"Counsel for the defense (Vander
veer) tells yon that he has for years
fought the battles of the under dog.
I'm not so sure about that. I'm not
so sure that he hasn't been fighting
the battles of the vicious, of the dis
loyal, of the criminal. I'm not sure
but that his voice has been raised
oftener in defense of treason than of
right.
"I want you. to remember, you jur
ors, that there are other people be
sides these defendants who are inter
ested in this case. Shall we say that
the widow of Warren O. Grimm and
her little daughter are not interested?
Shall we say that Grimm could be
slaughtered In his uniform, in the
broad light of day, and that a thing so
cruel as that should go unpunished?
"All that we ask is justice, and we
do say that, in dealing justice, these
men will every one be convicted of
murder in the first degree."
Il the small courtroom, where the
legal fight has been waged to Its
close, spectators were so closely
crowded that ingress and egress were
difficult, and the mass of men and
women eager to be present at the
finis pressed even to the edge of the
prisoners' dock.
More than S00 spectators sat tight
ly wedged as Judge Wilson at 2:45
o'clock, four months and, one day
after the commission of the Centralia

Reticent as to Own Salary Be-
fore and After Mar. j
WASHIXGTOX, March 12. The
frank statement by a witness that
members of congress would support
soldier relief legislation in order to
get votes, started a rumpus today in
the house ways and means committee,
considering a multitude of bills deal
ing with the subject.
Frank P. Keech, a Xew Tork brok
er, ex-lieutenant-colonel in the inspector-general's
department, oppos
ing additional compensation for ex
soldiers, declared some legislation
might be expected because of political
pressure. The inference that mem
bers would be swayed through fear of
losing votes was characterized by
Chairman Kordney as an insult to the
committee and congress.
Keech replied that his statement
was not intended to be insulting, bu J
that it was nevertheless true.
"I consider it an insult for any per
son to say that I' would spend two
billion dollars out of the public money
to be elected to congress," declared
Chairman Fordney.
"What was your salary before and
after the war?" asked Representative
Frear, republican, Wisconsin, after
the wrangle had subsided.
"I don't wish to give that." Mr.
Keech said.
"You are a broker and you speak
from the Wall-street viewpoint,"
said Mr. Frear. "Do you know if
boys on the farm who left everything
feel as the people who lived in New
York?"
"From conditions in Xew York I
would say that a bonus is not desired
or needed by the average discharged
soldier," Mr. Keech replied.
The witness added that he was con
cerned over the predicted decrease In
bond values. He objected to the sug
gestion of Representative Rainey,
democrat, Illinois, to place a tax oil
the 23,000 men who became million
aires during the war.
"Initiative ceases when taxes be
come high and such an additional tax
would be harmful," said he.
George M. Rushmore of New York,
ex-sergeant, testified that soldiers did
not consider the possible harm to
government finances which might re
sult from payment of a cash bonus.
A great majority of those 'receiving
money would spend it foolishly in six
months, he said. '"
Urging a preferential grant to, over
seas men, Leonard Ormerod of Wash
ington, who served as an enlisted man
in the 2d division, said "the mental
strain from being absolutely cut off
f , i
diers deserve more than would be
granted domestic troops.
BURIED TREASURE HUNTED
Money Planted in Garden, Exact
Location Forgotten. '
HOQUIAM, Wash., March 12. (Spe
cial.) Working far into the night by
a lantern, digging up his back lot
west of town, Mike Paulovich aroused
interest here as an exemplar of the
home gardener. But the secret has
leaked out. Mike is not trying to de
feat the food trust by home garden
ing. He is seeking treasure.
Several months ago. with no faith
in banks, he buried his savings in
his back lot. A few days ago he
sought to exhume his hoard prior to
returning to the old country, but for
got exactly where he planted his
money. So now he Is ploughing up
the, whole lot. He resents the aid of
neighbors, from whom he seeks police
protection.

THE DALLES, Or., March 12 (Spe
cial.) In a. pitched battle lasting for
20 minutes this afternoon in The Dal
les city jail, Frank Heater, police
chief, was knocked unconscious and
was locked in the cell corridor with
James McClaskey, patrolman, by two
recalcitrant youths whose escape from
the city bastile was frustrated by the
timely arrival of Sheriff Henderson of
Klickitat county and John Crawford
i of Grand Dalles.
James and Mark Walkenshaw,
husky lads from Condon, Or., stood on
the streets of the city yesterday and
made pertinent and insulting remarks
to passing girls and women, accord
ing to police officers. Chief Heater
arrested the Walkenshaws.
Battle Lasts 20 Minutes.
Realizing that the two apprehended
youths, whose ages are about 21.
might be somewhat cooled off and in
tending to give therti a little lecture
and then turn them loose, Chief
Heater advanced into the corridor and
spoke to the lads.. They met his ad
vances in a hostile manner, according
to the police authorities, and offered
to battle with the chief at whom they
made a pass. Patrolman McClaskey
was also drawn into the fray and
the four fought like caged hyenas for
20 minutes, during which time all
were covered with blood.
In the midst of the fray, either be
cause he was struck by a Wow from
one of the youths or was dodging
from an expected blbw, the head of
Chief Heater came into violent con-
. . ....
tact with
a sharp projecting iron
grating of the cell, cutting a gash in
his scalp which afterward required
several stitches.
As his chief lay on. the floor Mc
Claskey went to his assistance and
while endeavoring to raise Heafer's
head so that the unconscious man
might obtain more air he was struck
from behind by one of the culprits,
seized hold of and thrown violently
into the cell. Then the lads, accord
ing to McClaskey, kicked -hief Heater
brutally several times while he lay
still on the corridor floor and pitched
the chief into the cell room and
locked the door.
Sheriff Captures Roys.
As the two youths were leaving the
jail they were met by Sheriff Hender
son of Klickitat county who had come
to see Chief Heater. Seeing the blood
spattered on the face and clothes of
the fellows the sheriff accosted them
and demanded an explanation. The
lads were unable to give a satisfac
tory tale, saying that they "had been
picked on by some fellows in the
room."

Initial Appropriation of $250,000
Recommended-- Astoria Cit
izens to Furnish Site.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, March 12. Representa
tive McArthur today won the first
round of his fight to secure legisla
tion authorizing the location of a
submarine base in the Columbia river.
The sub-committee on appropria
tions of the house naval affairs com
mittee,, which is engaged In writing
the pending naval appropriation bill,
approved the Tongue Point project
and recommended an initial appro
priation of $250,000 to begin the work.
The sub-committee also recommended
that the project be authorized upon
condition that citizens of Astoria
furnish the site free of cost to the
government.
Although the navy department
recommended an initial appropriation
of $1,000,000 for this project, mem
bers of the sub-committee found it
necessary to reduce the item to $250.
000 in order to keep the total amount
carried in the bill within the limits
prescribed by the steering committee
or the house. Mr. McArthur was
elated tonight when informed of the
sub-committee's action in thus recog
nizing the Columbia river location.
Members of the sub-committee said
tonight that the principal argument
in favor of the Columbia river loca
tion is the long expanse of unpro
tected coastline between San Fran
ciseo bay and Puget sound.
Mr. McArthur points out that the
preliminaries looking to the location
of the project will require much time
and that before the appropriation is
exhausted another bill will be avail
able. The bill will be reported to the
full membership of the committee on
naval affairs on Monday and will
be before the house later in the week.
CASE WILL BE DROPPED
Prosecution of Mrs. Emma Vinl-
free to Proceed "o Further.
SALEM, Or., March 12. (Special.)

county officers with regard to the
prosecution of Mrs. Emma Winifree,
who is being held in jail at Oregon
City charged with the theft of $6500
from the Aurora State bank, accord
ing to announcement made here today
by Max Gehlhar, district attorney. '
District Attorney GehMiar said that
he had communicated with the offi
cials at Portland and Oregon City and
had reached the conclusion that Mrs.
Winifree was not wholly responsible
for her acts, and that nothing would
be gained by sending her to the state
penitentiary. The district attorney
also was advised by the officials of
the bank that they did not desire to
prosecute the woman, and that they
had recovered practically all of thy
funds taken from the institution.

tionship with the two women as the

Judge Morrow yesterday when he de

The evidence was offered on the

"It would "be deeply Interesting,
doubtless," dryly commented Judge
Morrow, "but Woodrow Wilson's

party in this book, and if he did his
