AMEROXGE.V. Holland, March 14.
(By the Associated Press.) The tid
ings of the German counter-revolu
tion caused a great stir and commo
tion in Bentinck castle, where ex
Emperor William resides, and the
people in the castle stayed up until
a very late hour Saturday.
Observers oore assert that Count
Hohenzollern has been unusually
nervous during the last few days.
It is said he has been seen to stop
sawing wood and run to and fro and
give other evidences of nervous ten
sion. On Tuesday the ex-emperor com
pleted the sawing of his 16.000th tree
and there was quite a celebration of
the event.
LONDON. March 14. The reaction
ary movement in Germany makes the
kaiser question an acute one at Rot
terdam, says the Times' correspond
ent in that city. It is learned from
reliable sources, he adds, that the de
cision of the ex-emperor's future res
idence is being seriously considered,
Meanwhile extensive measures are' be
ing taken for anv eventuality.
Thoush the ex-kaiser is making
elaborate plans for his stay there, it
is by no means certain that Doom
will he his permanent residence. The
government considers publicity might
defeat the object aimed at. Should
the cx-kaiser know that plans were
being considered for his deportation
to the West Indies efforts might be
ir.ade for his escape.
Evidently the ex-kalser is being
kept well posted on events; great
activity prevails in his neighborhood
and a constant stream of cars is go
ing and coming.

it as a crime against the German

development of the southern German

Two-Mil Cabinet Proposed.
The new cabinet has not yet been
formed, but it is known that Dr.
Traugott von Jagow, ex-chief of po
lice of Berlin and a notable reaction
ary, will be Prussian minister of the
Interior.
It is proposed for the present to
have only a two-man cabinet, or di
rectorate, composed of Dr. Wolfgang
Kapp and Major-General Baron von
Luettwits.
Slinister of Transportation Oeser
has informed Kapp that the railway
employes of Prussia objected to a
cabinet In which Kapp and Von Jagow

in office the entire railway forces
would strike.

Eva I'entlila Victim
Driven by Soldier.
ASTORIA, Or., March 14. (Special.)
Mrs. Eva R. Penttila, wife of Ho
Penttila, died early this morning as
the result of injuries sustained in ar
automobile accident last evening.
Mrs: Penttila had alighted from a
street car in front of her home on
West Bond street and, stepping be
hind the car, started across the
street. In doing so she was struck
by an automobile driven by Corporal
Mauritzen of Fort Stevens and occu
pied by two other soldiers. Three of
the womans" ribs on the right side
were, broken, two of them piercing
her lungs.
Mauritzen is under arrest pending
the result of the inquest, which will J
be held tomorrow evening.
Mrs. Penttila was a native of Nasel.
Wash.. 22 years old, and besides a
widower is survived by her father
Abraham Ericson, four brothers and
five sisters.
BERLIN, March 14. (By the As
sociated Tress). The two govern
ments of Germany are now matching
wits and forces to gain control of the
republic. Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, who
proclaimed the new order at Berlin
and himself chancellor, is employing
all his efforts to assure the German
people that government under him
and those he selects jo administer af
fairs will mean true? democracy, in
creased productiveness and conserva
tion of the rights of the working
people.
Friedrich Ebert, president of the
old government, who with most of his
ministers hastily withdrew from Ber
lin when the revolting troops marched
in and Kapp and Von Luettwitz took
control, is variously reported to be
at Dresden or Stuttgart, and from his
point of security is calling upon the
socialists and working classes gen
erally to stand by the old government
and use the strike weapon so that the
counter-revolution may be promptly
suppressed.
In response to this appeal a gen
eral strike has been proclaimed in
many places, but in other parts of
Germany the call for a strike has not
been received with favor.
o Blood Shed.'
A bloodless revolution thus far has
characterized the movement upon
Berlin where the people are veiwing
events with that serenity to which
triVy have been accustomed by the oc
currence of recent years. There Is,
however, an undercurrent of anxiety
because barbed wire .entanglements
have been 'thrown up in front of the
great public buildings near Cnter der
Linden and Wilhclmstrasse, cannon
and machine guns are posted at the
cross streets and other points of van
tage, and heavily armed guards are
stationed throughout the city. This
is an ominous sign of possible clashes
when those opposed to the counter
revolution marshal their force for fu
ture action.
There has been constant official
reiteration of the statement that the
new government is not reactionary;

Water Supply . Gives Out and
Apparatus Becomes Helpless
Victims Need Aid.
FORT WORTH. Texas, March 11.
Grandview, a town of 2000 inhab
itants near here, was in ruins to
night as a result of a fire which
destroyed seven of its eight business
blocks and 200 homes in the residen
tial district. Approximately 1000 per
sons are homeless and the property
loss is placed at between $1, 500,000
and $2,000,000, with indications, it
was said, the latter figure was correct.
The fire, which began early in the
afternoon, was not controlled until
midnight and at that hour was still
flaming fiercely.
Fanned by a high wind, the fire
swept beyond control of the local fire
department. Additional rire-tlgntlng
apparatus was brought in from nearby
towns, but late in the day the water
supply became exhausted. Immediate
relief is needed by the homeless, it
was said tonight.
Three men were injured when a
building collapsed.
Fire departments from Cleburne,
Itasca and Alvarado responded, but
the water in the standpipes gave out
and after that the firemen were un
able to do anything except watch the
town burn. Dynamite could not be
obtained.
Automobiles, trucks, wagons and
other vehicles were piessed into serv
ice to carry the homeless people to
Alvarado and Itasca. Merchandise
valued at hundreds of thousands of
dollars was piled in the streets.
Heavy loss was caused by water and
smoke.
Taking the shape of a "V," the
firo swept through the-city. When
it reached Main street hope was
held out for the business section,
as the wind was blowing due
north, but by tome freak the wind
veered, and the fire swept into the
business section like a wave, engulf
ing every building in eight blocks.
Mayor Williams of Grandview called
a mass meeting of all male citizens
in the city park and under his direc
tion a committee of safety was
named. The committee patrolled the
fire-stricken section and salvaged
goods wherever possible.'
The wind blew at such velocity that
burning brands were carried for
miles. A farmhouse three miles from
Cirandview caught fire and was destroyed.
SNOW VISITS HOOD RIVER
Mid-March Blanket Eight to 12
Inches Deep on Higher Levels.
HOOD RIVER, Or., March 14. (Spe
cial.) A mid-March snow storm left
a blanket of snow on high points or
mid-Columbia today. In the high
foothills around Mount Hood and
Mount Adams the snow reached a
depth of eight to 12 inches, it is es
timated, and lighter blankets re
mained for a time in orchard districts
of higher elevations.
Snow, mixed with rain, prevailed at
the level of the Columbia river, but
melted as it fell. Precipitation for
the past two days has reached nearly
aSi inch and a half.

LOS AXGELES. March 14. Vice
Admiral Clarence S. Williams, tern
porarily in command of the Pacific
fleet, tonight announced he had
ceived a wireless message stating
that the surviving members of th
crew of the submarine H-l, which i
aground off Santa Margaritta island
Magdalena bay, are aboard the
steamer Mazatlan, due to arrive a
San Pedro March 18. The message
the vice-admiral said, was from th
Mazatlan, relayed by the United
States steamship Eagle.
The vice-admiral also eaid he had
received a wireless from Commande
F. R. McCrary of the destroyer Sin
clair, which is standing by the H-l,
which said.
"H-l aground on sandy beach one
mile southeast Redondo Point near
Santa Margaritta island. Lying head
to sea. Her stern aground and her
bow afloat. Destroyer Sinclair stand
ing by attempting to pull her off,
The commander thinks he will be
ble to do so in morning. The boat
is full of chlorine gas but apparently
uninjured."
The message gave the names of
the dead as Lieutenant-Commander
James R. Webb; H. M. Gilles, ma
chinlst's mate; M. S. Delamarlne, rat
ing not given; Joseph Kaufman, sea
man; and continued:
"Gilles and Delamarine have been
buried by the survivors in the sandy
beach of Santa Margaritta island in
the mouth of Magdalena bay, about
630 miles south of San Diego."
Vice-Admiral Williams said he be
lieved from this message the bodies
of Webb and Kaufman were still in
the hull of the H-l.
The H-l was accompanied on her
trip to the Pacific by the H-2, the
vice-admiral said. He said He had
information that the H-2 was the
first ship to summon aid to her sister
ship.
SAN DIEGO, Cal.. March 14. Lieu
tenant-Commander James R. Webb
and three members of his crew were
lost when the United States subma
rine H-l went aground at the en
trance to Magdalena bay, Lower Cali
fornia, according to a radio report
received here today.
The H-l was bound from the canal
zone to the Pacific submarine base at
San Pedro, Cal.
How Lieutenant-Commander Webb
and tlvo three men lost their lives was
not known here tonight. Rear-Admiral
Welles expects detailed Infor
mation tomorrow. It is believed that
the H-l got water in her batteries.
If this happened it sent up a dense
cloud of chlorine gas, and navy offi
cers here thought Commander Webb,
in order to prevent the asphyxiation
of the crew, ordered the H-l beached.
Reports received here are that a
heavy sea was running and the four
are thought to have been carried
overboard.
Commander McCrary wirelessed
that the destroyer Sinclair suc
ceeded in getting a .towltne to
the H-l late yesterday afternoon,
but that the line snapped be-

Johnson apparently formal, was

perfect figure of a monument with a
cross on top. He declared it Vas a

MONTESANO, Wash., March 14.
(Special.) The county of Grays Har
bor Is still meditating on the leniency
of the verdict in the Centralia Armistice-day
murder case, wherein seven
of the defendants were found guilty
of murder in the second degree, one
was held to be insane and two were
acquitted.
Perhaps the mildest commentary on
the verdict was that made by one of
the convicted men last night as he
was ushered back to his cell.
I think it was a bonehead jury. If
ever there was one, said the coll
ected murderer.
niaruaalon la Still Kite.
In Montesano discussion is Etill rife
regarding the verdict. It is branded
as a compromise, as a sop both to the
American Legion and the Industrial
Workers of the world, and there are
those who say that fear must have
served as an actuating motive in the
return of a verdict so utterly at vari
ance with the evidence, the Instruc
tions of the court and the respective
picas of counsel.
George F. Vanderveer. counsel for i
the I. W. W., voiced a general senti
ment when he asserted that the re
turn was not a true verdict, as re
garded the seven convicted men, and
that the jury should not find them
guilty In the - second degree. The
verdict should have declared guilt In
the first degree or acquittal, he as-
erted. Singularly enough, he is sup
ported In this opinion by opposing
counsel and by general public senti
ment.
Compromise Held Cowardly.
Weak and' cowardly compromise,"
was an expression common In court-
ouse corridors when the verdict was
nnounced.
Mike Sheehan and Elmer Smith,
acquitted of the murder of Warren
Grimm and rearrested for the mur-
er of Arthur McElfresh, even as they
left the courtroom, were taken to
Chehalis. Lewis county, this morning
by Sheriff John Berry, there to be
rraigned for the McElfresh killing.
Prosecuting Attorney Alien has
filed information against all ten de
fendants, charging them with the
murder of McElfresh and asserts that
the case will be prosecuted as rig
orously as the one Just concluded.
Motloa la Expected Today.
The seven convicted I. W. W., with
Lpren Roberts adjudged insane, are
held 'here pending hearing of a mo
tion for a new trial. It is expected
that this will be made tomorrow
morning. Sentence of the convicted
men will not be made until this mo
tion Is disposed of. according to
Judge John M. Wilson who presided
a't the trial. Arguments on the mo
tion for a new trial will require sev
eral days' preparation and will be
heard within the next fortnight.
Though the jurors refused to dis
cuss their verdict, it was rumored
today that three of the panel held
out for a verdict of acquittal, for
nearly six hours, and that none of the
Jurors was In favor of the death pen
alty at any time during the delibera
tions, though three or four were In
favor of first degree conviction on
early ballots.
Legion Men Show Ko Rancor.
Members of the American Legion,
attendant at the trial, heard the ver
dict without display of rancor. They
evince a quiet, determined resolve to
Insist upon further prosecution, de
claring that the Centralia Armistice
day crime shall not go Inadequately
punished.
State counsel were of the belief
throughout the trial that but one Ju
ror was doubtful or inclined toward
radical tendencies. Vanderveer as
serted that at least three jurors were
favorable to the defense. In his clos
ing argument he spoke with appar
ent directness to certain jurors, un
known to the casual spectator, whom
he believed were in gjnipathy with
the accused and with the purposes of
the radicals.
Acquittal Charge -Made.
He charged these jurors to acijuit
the defendants, or forever after keep
slient on protestations of belief in
the cause of radical la"bor.
From the nature of the verdict and
Mid brief length of time required to
reach It, many declare that tits I. W.
V. counsel knew that certain jurors
were In active sympathy with the I.
W. W. or with the defendant.
The exoduB of court attendants,
cojnsel, specta'ors and legionnaires
at the close of the seven weeks' triaj

yet been received for the recall of
