Dr. Marie -., Kqul today declared when she waa ad t vised of the United Statea supreme - court's aatlon.

CASE HELD IMPORTANT "She's just as good as in the peni tentiary now," Goldstein said today, when informed of the eu'preme eourt'a action. ) "Thla case was of extreme Importance, not only because we felt Dr. Equl waa a disturber, but because of the Import unes of determining to what extent se dition and seditious utterances could be allowed to go.

"God still reigns." cried William K. rsryon, special agent for the department " of Justice, on whose Investigations Dr. Kqul was arrested, when he was tn , formed of the supreme court's action.

At the ronelu slon of the opening session today of the trial of 1 1 defendants charged with tho murder of Warren O. Grimm In connection with the Ar mistice day shootings at Centralia. Judge John M. Wilson denied the motion of Attorney George F. Van derver for a change of venue from Grays Harbor county. J The place of trial had previously been changed from Iewls cqC-nty. In which Central! is located, on motion of At- -torney Vanderveer. i " Judge Wilson said that the shewing made was not sufficient to Justify an- other change and that the law would not permit a change on the matters produced as evidence to show prejudice. The de fendants were protected, he said, by ap- : peal power and his error, if made, could be rectified by the higher court. Vanderveer noted an exception, the first of the case.

Abel, maintained that the propaganda campaign - was originated by the friends of the defandants, and that a campaign of rebuttal was started by partisans on the other side merely in the interests of fair play, "New Solidarity," an I.
