MONTESANO, Wash.. March 15.
(Special.) Back to normality, with
her hundreds or transient guests scat
tered to their distant homes, is the
county spat of Grays Harbor county
where the trial of the Central Armi
stice day murder case came to a close
Saturday night.
And yet, not exactly normal for
the prison wherein the Beven con
Tided i. V. V. are held is still under
ieavy guard. Klniar Smith, Centralia
attorney, and Mike Sheehan, the two
radicals who were acquitted and who
wi re immediately re-arrested for the
murder of Arthur McKlfresh, one of
the four Centralia victims, are now

(Special.) The plight of Mrs.
Louise L. Anderson, wife of Mathiaa
C. Anderson, a San Pedro merchant.
who was wedded illegally five years
ago. may be duplicated many times in
Oregon.
Mrs. Anderson was married on the
high seas by Captain Bell, of the
launch Nellie, between Long Beach
and Catalma Island, in September,
11'14. Such marriages are declared to
be illcg-al. Divorces are therefore un
necessary, annulments being all that
are required.
This brings up similar marriage
ceremonies performed by Captain L.
Carner on the. launch OUie S., beyond
the three-mile limit off Newport, Or.,
ir. 1915. The marriages were entered
into in good faith by the parties con
cerned and performed as such by
Captain Carner, the most successful
bar navigator who ever operated out
of Taquina bay.
One couple who hailed from Eu
gene, Or., where the prospective
bridPKroom was a hotel man and the
bride a chambermaid, waited in
Waldport on Alsea bay for about six
weeks before they were able to get
across the bar to have tha ceremony
performed. The bridegroom had been
divorced a short time before.
Another case was that of Cressy
Warnock Hughes, a Toledo belle, who
had received a divorce from her hus
band. Allen Hughes, of Astoria, and
not yet been announced. State counsel j who wished to reorr a Toledo den
tist before six months had passed, to
accompany her husband to China.
After waiting unsuccessfully several
days, both proceeded to China and
were married at the American con
sulate in Shanghai. Other couples
finding weather conditions more cle
ment, were married by Captain Car
ner, the bridegroom on one occasion
almost falling overboard when he at
tempted to kiss his bride.
1 positive in the assertion that the
charge will be pressed, not alone
gainst these two, but against the
"wobblies" who are now under con
viction for the murder of Grimm.
IHHsatisfactlon Is General.
Conviction of these seven In the
Second degree has raised such a wide
spread dissatisfaction that it is al
most certain that public protest will
hasten and impel the trial of all ten
defendants on the McKlfresh charge.
Frank K. Van Gilder, Centralia
"Warren O. Grimm when Grimm re
ceived his death wound, together
with Carl Hempe and other Centralia
ex-service men, went to Chehallis
late today to confer with the county
commissioners of Lewis county rela
tive to the expense. of a new trial.
Prosecuting-Attorney Herman Al
len is insistent that the McKlfresh
charge be pressed, declaring the con
viction of second degree murder to
be utterly inadequate to meet the
enormity of the Armistice day crime,
the evidence or the law.
"I am ready to take up the work
crain," was the positive assertion of
Vr". H. Abel, special prosecutor, of
Uontcsano.
Fronecntor Ready for Trial.
"Try them for the murder of Mc
Elfresh?" repeated C. D. Cunningham,
special prosecutor, of Centralia. "You
may be certain they will be tried.
Centralia will Insist upon, it. And
back of Centralia stands the good
citizenry of Washington and of the
country at large. These men shall
not escape a just punishment."
The names of the three jurors who
are said to have held the jury six
hours for acquittal, later winning a
compromise and conviction in the sec
ond degree for seven, acquittal for
two, and an insane return for one,
are currently rumored in Grays Har
bor county.
Two of these jurors, it is said, are
pronounced radicals. The third is not
known to be radical, and the public
supposition is that he was in fear of
the vengeance of the 1. W. W. should
severe verdict be found. As for the
remainder of the jury. Grays Harbor
county and Lewis county assert that
they did not make a determined cf
fort to procure a proper verdict of
first degree murder and that this
weakness on their part is plainly
shown by the fact that they oonipro
miscd after only nine hours delibera
tion.

BOISE GETS HEARINGS
Great Lakes to Tidewater Project
to Be Discussed.
BOISE, Idaho, March 15. (Special.)
Public hearings by the interna

Lawrence river, so that trans-Atlantic
freight may be put on shipboard at
Duluth, Chicago and other lake ports
on an equal footing with ports on the
Atlantic seaboard. All the north
western states are vitally interested
in the project because it will lessen
freight rates to the seaboard ma
terially. New England states hotly
oppose it.

BOISE 'LUMBER IS HIGH
Centers or Industry Said to Pay
More Tliau Distant Towns.
BOISE, Idaho, March 15. (Special.)
Although Boise and Emmett are the
centers of the lumber manufacturing
business in the southwestern part of
the state they pay more for their
lumber than other places.
This is the charge made by Miles
Cannon, commissioner of agriculture,
who has issued a statement attacking
the lumber interests on the ground
that they are making unreasonable
and unfair charges for their mill pro
ducts. He asserts that the price of
common dimension lumber in Boise
and Emmett is from iUO to $65 a thou
sand feet and although the freight
must be added the same lumber is
being laid down by the same manu
facturing companies at Weiser for $45
a thousand: Gooding. T64; Pocatello,
Blackfoot and Idaho Falls, $61 to $65.
Earnings of 12 Per Cent on In
vestment for Four Years Despite
- War Demands Is Alleged.
BOISE, Idaho, March 15. (Special.)
Miles G. Cannon, state commissioner
of agriculture, today Issued a state
ment declaring for a grand Jury in
vestigation of flour mill operators in
Idaho. He asserted they were prof
iteering. He said: "Before the government in
terfered with prices, flour sold in
1917 with an average profit of 25
cents a barrel of flour, but after the
fixing of the price of wheat and a
maximum profit of 25 cents a bar
rel, the millers have contrived to
make an actual profit in the state
ot Idaho in many cases reaching the
unprecedented amount of $2.64.
"Information collcted by the com
mission shows that for the four years,
ending June 30, 1916, a profit of 13
cents on each barrel of flour and 12
per cent on the capital Invested was
earned by the flour millers in spite
of the fact that the war demand in
1915 and 1916 would lead one to ex
pect them t oshow at abnormal high
profit.
"During the year 1917, these same
mills made an average of 52 cents on
every barrel of flour sold and nearly
28 per cent on their investment.
profits that are indefensible, con
sidering that an average of the profit
of 1 mill for six months of the year
shows as high as $2 a barrel.
Not satisfied with the abnormal
profits of 1917, these patriotic millers
have contrived to increase their prof
its for the years 1918 and 1919 to
such an extent that this department
is of the opinion that there is a great
work for a grand Jury in the state of
Idaho.

GIRL, 3, ACCUSES. COOK
Child's Revelations Result in
Charges Against Men.
G. I. Parsons, aged 30, a cook, last
night was in the city jail racing a
serious criminal charge involving a
3-year-old girl, and Deputy District
Attorney Deich Issued a warrant for
Wilbur Field, a married man, on a
similar charge, as a result of revela
tions made to the women's protective
division of the police department by
little Edith Field.
The girl, whose mother is dead and
who lives at a downtown hotel with
her father, is alleged to have been
lured to a room in another hotel at
Fifth and Washington streets yester
day by Parsons. Attaches of the
hotel, sensing something was wrong,
telephoned for the police and Miss
Moorad responded and arrested Par
sons, who had the girl in his room
at this hotel.
Mr. Deich said the matter would be

before the county grand jury.
