valescing From Wounds.
Lieutenant Herman TU. Mclrcod and
Miss Lillian M. Talmer to Be

THE OREGOVIAX NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Nov. 7, A romance
which began early In 1919 at Quant
Ico,' Va., where the bridegroom was
then convalescing from wounds re
ceived in the American advance on
fcoissons, will result in the wedding
here Wednesday night of Lieutenant
Herman I McLeod of Portland, Or.,
and Miss Lillian M. Palmer, a Wash
ington girl. They will be married In
the Mount Vernon church. McLeod
enlisted in the marine corps at the
outbreak of the war and was among
the first American troops to get
overseas.

which he was a member, took part
In the battle of Chateau-Thierry,

stopped in June, 1918. McLeod en
tered this battle a private and came
out with a lieutenant's commission
a:id a distinguished service cross. He
was later made a captain, but he fell
before his commission reached him.
In the capture of Soissons, McLeod
was hit twice, both bullets penetrat
ing his stomach. When he was car
ried to a field hospital his case was
given up as hopeless, but he man
aged to survive. In the meantime,
however, his death in battle had been
reported in the casualty lists.
After months in hospitals in France,
Lieutenant McLeod was returned to
th 3 country and sent to Quantico. It
was there that he first met Miss
Palmer, his bride-to-bs.

Mr and Mrs. John McLeod, 188 Thir
teenth street, Portland. Miss Palmer
is the daughter of W. L. Palmer, a re
tired Washington business man.

HALT OF STRIKES INCREASES
PRODUCTION 87,000 TONS.
Labor Losses for Week Ending on
October 30 Declared Only- 7
Per Cent of Full Time.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nor. 8. (Spe
cial.) Production of soft coal during
the week ending October 30 not only
continued above the 12.000.020 tons
mark considered necessary to meet
requirements, but established a maxi
mum for the year, the total output,
according to reports made public to
day by the geological survey, is esti
mated at 12,338.000 tons, an increase
of 97.000 tons over the preceding
week.
The average production per work
ing day for the week was 2,056.000
tons, which brings the total produc
tion for the first 258 working days of
the year up to 425,904,000 tone, which
Is 51,000.000 tons more than was pro
duced during the same period in 1919,
but about 42.000,000 behind the ban
ner year of 1918.
The big increase in production is
accounted for by a lull in the labor
disturbances which have been a fac
tor of Importance in . recent months.
Settlement of strikes in Oklahoma
and Arkansas caused labor losses for
the two states to decline from 44 per
cent to 4 per cent. Over the country
as a whole, losses attributed to labor
amounted to 7 per -cent of full time,
out of a total loss, due to all causes,
of 40 per cent.

ilAi JUDGE RAPS
ATTORNEY
GENERA
L
Palmer Held "Close to Com
pounding of Felony."
MINE CASES ARE CALLED
Head of Department of Justice
Criticised for Orders t,o Elimi
nate Certain Evidence.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Nov. 8. At
torney-General Palmer's orders lim
iting the government's evidence to be
used In the soft coal conspiracy cases
against 126 operators and miners in
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania, were criticised by Fed
eral Judge Anderson in the United
States district court today as. being
strangely close to the compounding
of a felony" and also "dangerously
hear contempt of court."
Trial of the cases was scheduled to
begin today, but government counsel
said it was not ready. Before grant
ing the continuance asked by govern
ment counsel. Judge Anderson under
took an investigation of the attorney-general's
orders regarding the
cases, ending with his criticism of Mr.
Palmer's conduct.
The court set next January 10 as
the date for calling the trials again,
announcing that "the meantime will
give us time to get our bearings and
at least find out whether we are gov
erned by law or byi person."
Once before the judge declared that
Mr. Palmer's attitude in the cases
was that of "personal government, not
government by law."
Palmer's Actions Defended.'
The attorney-general was not pres
ent, but C. 8. Ames, former assistant
to Mr. Palmer, explained that Mr.
Palmer's orders had been misunder
stood by government counsel, who,
testifying at the investigation, said
the orders possibly nullified the pros
ecution. Judge Anderson's statement regard
ing Mr. Palmer's conduct came after
hearing most of the testimony, the
Judge leading up to his assertion
with a series of questions as to
whether the attorney-general had au
thority to agree not to use certain
evidence.
Similarly the Judge discussed the
elements constituting contempt of
court, his purpose being, he said, to
"see how dangerously near this gen
tleman has got himself to contempt
of this court."
Court's Ann Is Long.
"The arm of this court Is long,"
continued Judge Anderson in this
connection, "and has been known
to reach further than Washington. I
am not suggesting what may or may
not be done. Mr. Palmer is the at
torney-general and there le a certain
amount of consideration that I am
bound to pay to his official position,
if I do not pay It to him. himself."
After making these remarks. Judge
Anderson called" on District Attorney
Van Nuys to produce messages ex
changed with the department of Jus
tice about reopening the conspiracy
cases, with a view to reporting furth
er grand jury indictments, including
the lists of defendants. v
One message bearing the name of
Assistant Attorney-General Mitchell,
saia tne "attorney-general has in
structed me to request that before
seeking indictments you should con-
suit with and lay the facts before
this department."
Iriterpretlng this message, the
Judge said its effect was "that this
court cannot proceed unless the attorney-general
sees fit to advise."
"I am going to have It done," the
judge added, his remark apparently
meaning that the grand jury soon to
convene will reopen investigation of
the conspiracy cases.
KeMlarnatio Is Explained.
Dan W. Slmms of Lafayette. Ind.,
said he resigned as special prosecutor
in the cases, because, he said, the attorney-general's
orders would prevent
use of evidence that was the basis of
the government's injunction case last
year against the coal strike and the
later contempt proceedings for al
leged violation of the court's order
directing cancellation of the strike
order. Similar testimony was given
by L. Ert Slack, another special pros
ecutor, and by District attorney Van
Nuys. I
Mr. Ames, however,"aid Mr. Palmer
interpreted his orders to mean only '
the elimination of evidence that was
the basis of the contenrot nroceedings I
and pointed out that these proceed-j
lngs were begun at a date later than
that covered by the alleged con
spiracy. '
Mr. Ames also eaid that the attorney-general
has the right to elect
whether the government would prose
cute its cases as civil or criminal
matters and that having chosen a
civil course In the strike Mr. Ames
did not believe It fair to proceed with
criminal action In this case. He also
said that Mr. Palmer "had not Inter
fered in any way with the action
of the government's special counsel in
the present cases."

fendants in the coal conspiracy crim
inal cases in the United States court
at. Indianapolis today lost their case
in the federal court in which they
sought to enjoin officers of the gov
ernment from removing and prose
cuting them at Indianapolis on the
ground that section 9 of the Lever
act was unconstitutional.
Judge Louis Fitzhenry this morn
ing filed his opinion, holding that
section 9 of the act is constitu
tional and that the attorney-general
and district attorneys are acting
within their powers. He also holds
that this statute is aimed at all con
spiracies to enhance the price of coal
within or without the coal industry. .

The Strong Feature of the
Is the wood cylinder for home use. For
over 10 years this cylinder has been built
of selected white maple for use in the
Thor washer.
Experiments with every kind of material,
metal that is practical for cylinders has
shown that nothing is equal to wood for
use in family washers.
In metal cylinders the sides are very thin, and as a result the
edges of the holes are sharp.. As the clothes come in contact
with these holes there is continual wear on them.
There is absolutely no wear on the clothes in a Thor wood cylinder.
And another very important feature of the wood cylinder is that '
it does not have to be lifted out of the machine to be cleaned.
