Washingtons' state tax levy for 1923 will be 15.059 mills, an in crease of .42 of one mill over the levy for 1922, to raise $16,811,209, a decrease of $422,406 from the total raised for 1922; the state equaliza tion besides Willis, are: A.

' "The increase in the number of census school children, combined with the reduction of assessed valu ation, has necessitated an increase, in the levy for common schools from 5.34 mills to 5.76 mills.

'Uespite the apparent increase in millage, the lower assessed valua tion really means that taxpayers will pay less for state taxes in 1923 than they did in 1922," Governor Hart said. union officials. Willis is said to have been the man who guaranteed that "the union would pay" for the guns and ammunition commandeered from local hardware stores before the march on the mine began. The report incorporated a tele gram which John L. Lewis, presi dent of the United Mine Workers of America, sent to State Senator Sneed, concerning the "outlaws" at work in the strip mine.. They were to be treated as common strike breakers. Mr. Lewis advised Mr. Sneed, who is president of the Her rln sub-district. Massacre Story Told. Following this telegram, the grand MR. AND MRS. HUGHES RE- jury reports, the preparation for the attack on the mine began. TCRJT FROM BRAZIL.

DETROIT, Mich., Sept.' 23. Henry Ford, In a newspaper Interview late today advised the peop'e oi tne (nnrtnr to "buy as little coal as nndsiblA now." declaring "coal nrlp.es are tumbling." Mr. Ford granted the Interview shortlv after his return from soutn ern Ohio, where he arranged for an uninterrupted movement of coal to his Detroit industries. "Tell the people of the whole world If you can," Mr. Ford said to his Interviewer, 'that If they would save money, they should not buy coal in any. great amount now. -xen them to buy only enough to get along, for coal prices are tumbling and they will go much lower. They will have an opportunitly, later on. tn eet their winter's coal mucn more cheaply." Mr. Ford, in company with his son. 'Edsel. president of the Ford Motor company, spent three days along the Detroit, Toledo & iron ton railroad, the manufacturer's Droperty. and saw hundreds o thousands of tons of coal moving northward, he said. They arranged for an ample supply of fuel for tne Ford plants for the next 60 days, he announced. "There . is enough coal above ground to run the country for long time." Mr. Ford said. The high prices were made because the suDDly was held oacK rrom the market. But the price is falling rapidly. We bought 500 cars of coal in Toledo for $5 a ton. mat, of course. Includes the freight rate from the mines to Toledo. At Cin cinnati Edsel arranged for a 60-day sudoIv of coal for approximately $3 a ton at the mines and that is $2 a ton less than wnat the DroKers paid for it. The brokers have held their coal so long that their profits have been wiped out and now they must unload at any price. Before spring comes you'll fee coal sell for a good deal below $3 a ton." Asked as to his opinion regarding the anthracite situation, Mr. Ford said: "We saw a good deal of that mov ing north, too. The price of that will be fall'ng pretty quick at least it ought to. For the price at the mine is tumbling and the news papers of the country should keep everlastingly writing about it to see that the fall in price at the mine is passed on by the broker and retailer in order that the home owner and his family may get the benefit of it. STATE SECRETARY HOME was "foolhardy" for W. J. Lester and his associates to attempt to operate a nonunion mine in this lo cality. The story of the battle at the mine, the surrender of the non- vnion mine and their massacre is told in graphic but restrained terms in tne report. All questions as to facts may be regarded as settled. tor tne grand jury heard 300 wit nesses and worked for three weeks to get the truth. HOT FIGHT IN PROSPECT (Continued1 From First Page.)

Secretary of State Hughes returned aboard the battleship Maryland today from Rio de Janeiro, where he attended the opening of the Brazilian cen tennial exposition, and a few hours after disembarking boarded a train for Washington. He declined to discuss the situa tion In the near east. It was learned, however, that on the voy age from Rio he was in constant communication with the state de partment, keeping abreast with de THE DALLES HAS FIRE Storage Garage, and 13 Motor Cars Destroyed. THE DALLES, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) A spectacular fire of undetermined cause early this morn ing destroyed a wooden building on East Third street, near the heart of the city, used as a storage garage by the Walther Williams company. Seven automobiles and six motor trucks which were in the building at the time were a total loss, as was the building. Loss of the build ing and machinery owned by the company which was stored there, was estimated at $6000 by W. E. Walter. No estimate as to the valuation of the privately owned cars which were destroyed was obtainable.
