UP, BUT FEW OUSTED House Immigration Commit tee Probes Conditions. NEW LEGISLATURE URGED DEATH PLOT DISCOVERED ASSASSINATION OF I. TV. W. PROSECUTORS PLANNED. CKNTRALIA. "Wash., Nov. 22. (Spe cial.) Six I. W. "VV.s, whose activities have been most pronounced among the lumber camps of central Wash ington, -were bagrged today by a posse of American Legion men who an swered the challenge of "come and get us" flung at the,m from the log ging camps of the Mason County Lumber company, near Mason Junc tion, Thurston county. They were lodged In the Centralia jail at 7:30 to night. Of 500 loggers held up and searched only the six were taken into custody, but they are believed the ring leaders. A large quantity of red literature and numerous L W. W. membership cards were confiscated. Ole Hanson and John Doe Davis were the objectives of the posse, but the man h,unters arrived about 10 hours late, the two men badly wanted in connection with the Armistice day murders having left the camp at 10 o'clock Friday night. The Informa tion followed by the American Legion I men proved absolutely reliable as to the hiring of the two fugitives by a lumber foreman of the Mason county ! concern, but news of the coming posse leaked out in some manner and the men again escaped. SO Men in Posse. Eighty American Legion men from Centralia. Chehalis and Tenino were In the passe which left at 6 o'clock this morning. All but ten returned tonight, those left behind staying on the trail of the suspected murderers. Local authorities believe the men rounded up in the three camps searched to be leaders in this section of the "wobbly" propaganda. They are: Koolls Mattson, Finn, 23; Albert Iorn, Austrian, 35; C. E. Martin, American, 9; Andrew Huhtala, Finn, 36; Matt Morgason. Finn, 54, and Bert McDonald, American, 20. The sheriff of Thurston county of fered every aid possible in the round up. Only three of the seven camps were searched because of the failure of the American Legion post at Olym pfa to respond to the call for assist ance when the posse was being formed. Red Armbands Worn. The hunters wore the I. "W. W. color, red, on their arms solely for identifi cation purposes. Not a shot was fired and the belligerent attitude of the I. W. W. lined up and searched disappeared at first glimpse at the determined features of the possemen, many of whom had been without sleep for 36 hours and had several days' growth of beard. Hansen and Davis were traced into the Mason Junction district by the small posse who have been on their trail for several days, following exchange of shots Thursday night, in which no one was injured. Friday morning a three-man posse received information that the men they sought had been employed by a logging fore man in one of the camps. In attempting to follow up the clue the hunters soon found themselves surrounded by a hostile crowd of bel ligerent loggers, 90 per cent of whom in this district are said to car::' the red cards of the I. W. W. Withdrawals Made. Hopelessly outnumbered in ease of conflict, the posse withdrew strate glcally and reported their discovery to Lieutenant Frank Vangilder, head of the American Legion committee at Centralia, last night. Shortly after this report a messenger arrived from the logging district. I here are aUU of us here. Come on and get us if you are men enough, ran the verbal challenge. Throughout the night plans were laid, tor tne descent on the camps today. Though the sheriff at Olympia offered the services of his deputies and pledged his entire co-operation, it appearea impossible to get a posse asked from Olympia post of the legion. The American Legion posse headed direct for the nest of I. w. w which organization Is very strong u Thurs ton county, according to all reports. MURDER PROSECUTOR NAMED John E. Murray of Chehalis to Try Armistice Day Cases. CHEHALIS. Wash.. Nov. 22. (Spe Gial.) John E. Murray of Chehalis, commander of L. R. Fiscus post, Amer lean Legion, and an attorney, today was named by the Lewis county com missi oners as special prosecutor to try all the L W. W . members in the Chehalis ana centralia jails on charges of syndicalism under the Washington law. Hesides the dozen L W. W. charged with the Centralia Armistice-day murders, there are about 50 held un der the state law covering the crimes of syndicalism and sabotage. Members of Union of Russian W orkers Expose Program me W hen Taken Into Custody. NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Discovery of a plot to assassinate federal, state and police officials who have been active In prosecuting L W. W. and Union of Russian Workers members was announced last night. Alexander L. Rorke, assistant dis trict attorney; Charles F. Scully, head of the "red" squad of the department of justice, and Detective Sergeant J. J. Gegan of the bomb squad were the men marked for death for their activ ities in the recent drive to halt the red movement by deportations' and criminal prosecutions. Three members of the Union of Rus sian Workers disclosed the plans when they made it known that they believed their arrest was due to knowledge of the "death plot." Some time ago, it was said, a com mittee of five was selected by the radicals to devise ways and means for disposing of their enemies, and it was learned that the committee was told that the use of bombs was decided upon, and an expert chemist would be obtained. The committee was com posed of three I W. W. members and two members of the Union of Russian Workers. The Lusk legislative investigation committee is endeavoring to learn if the existence of a $68,000 fund for-the purchase of arms and ammunition to equip the red army for a revolt is more than radical talk. The sum. was mentioned by a red orator in Boston. HULLS SHUT TD ALLIANCE LABOR ONLY ONE TO TAKE IN ORGANIZATION MEETING. Commissioner Notifies All Owners to Close Doors on Alliance, Says Committeeman. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 22. The county triple alliance, refused the use of other halls by Commissioner of Public Safety Pettit, will meet the hall of the Central Labor council tomorrow, it was announced today by Alexander Noral, alliance county com mitteeman. We were denied the right to en gage a hall, said Noral tonight, be cause some one told Pettit that the meeting was a camouflage for an I. W. W.-gathering. If he had inves tigated the truth instead of going up the air and notifying the owners of all the big halls in town not to let us have them, he would have found his mistake. The meeting is to com plete the formation of the county or ganization and I expect that to be accomplished tomorrow." The meeting will be addressed, it is stated, by Mrs. Wiseall Wilson, al liance candidate for the Seattle school board, and F. P. Waters, al- iance candidate for the Seattle port district.

The message of warning was scrawled on a small piece of wrap ping paper inclosed in an ordinary business envelope. The postmark shows that it was mailed at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The letter has been turned over to the proper authorities for further In vestigation. PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL Deportation Law That Will Deport, Aim of RepresentatiTe Albert Johnson of Washington NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Anarchists awaiting deportation on Ellis Island were questioned today oy members of the house immigration committee which is seeking to determine legis lation necessary to speed undesirable aliens back to their native shores. Sixty reds "of various anarchistic beliefs, the majority of them held pending appeal, reiterated their al legiance to radical movements. One boldly informed Representative Al bert Johnson of Washington, chair man or the committee, tnat tne aay would come when he would wish that he had not "meddled with the anarch ists in this country." The men held have organized a communist colony on the island, one radical told the committee, and in the face of deportation proceedings carry out the golden rule principles of communism, even to dividing to bacco, candy and money. Many Caught Few Deported. B. H. Uhl, acting commissioner of immigration, informed the committee that the total number of reds no held is SO. Several radicals had umped their bonds, he said, and of 64 ordered deported from Seattle, only 25 have actually left the country, Mr. J ohnson read into the record statistics to show that of 697 arrests in this country on anarchistic charges from February 7, 1917, to November 1 of this year, only 60 deportation war rants were fully executed. Jn 100 cases evidence was insufficient and 88 were withheld, as deportation was impossible during the war. TACOMA, Nov. 22. Representative Albert Johnson of Washington, chair man of the house immigration com mittee, in a communication to Taco- officials today, said he hoped for passage of a law earl in December that would make possible the do portation of all alien radicals In the northwest.
