According to Tilden, the war has caused a great public Indifference to art There has been no demand for sculpture for several years, he says, and he has been forced to accept steady em ployment that he may provide himself with the necessities of life. "Even an artist must eat," he explained, smilingly. Being a machinist is not distasteful to the famous sculptor. He says that in his youth he wished to be a machinist but could not get employment because of his physical defect. Now, after thir ty years, he Is at a turning lathe and he II happy.

RECLAMATION BILL SHIES AT DIRECT APPROPRIATIONS Sentiment at Washington Is Ap parently Veering Around to Plans for Bonding Measure. Washington, Jan. 2 (WASH INGTON BUREAU OP THE JOUR- NAL.) Because of the manifestly strong opposition to any plan of large direct appropriation for re clamation, the Western governors and others who came in force to plead the cause of irrigation, are expected in the end to divert their plans to a bond bill. Some think that the ultimate plan will bo along the. line of the Chamberlain-Smith bill to put such guarantees behind the security Issues of Irrigation districts, organized under state law and approved by national authority, as will enable these districts to go ahead for themselves. Such la the belief of Representative Addison T. Smith of Idaho, Joint authcr of the Chamberlain-Smith bill, who has been following events closely, and be lieves the solution will come along these lines, under which the credit of the gov ernment will be extended, without addi tional advance of money. He believes there Is a reasonable hope for leglsla tlon of this pattern. Another advantage which this kind of a bill possesses Is that it covers drain age projects as well as irrigation, and will apply anywhere that suitable pro jects may be found. A bill applying only to reclamation of and and semi-arta lands Immediately falls under the critical eye of eastern members, who assert that the west has already been liberally dealt with. The inclusion of drainage districts for swamp and overflow lands adds interest i for southern members and also some in , eastern states. When it is remembered that there are 435 membero of the house, that all the far western states have to gether only 33 members and that the stats of New York by itself has 43, it becomes apparent that the west a need of outside assistance. ' LAWYER FOR REDS (Continued from Pf On) point was surprising to counsel for the prosecution. In his argument Vanderver branded as ridiculous the statement that prospec tive jurors had been recipients of threats against their lives, and chal lenged refutal. During the arguments in ' the morn ing, hundreds of spectators were disap pointed, the courtroom doors being closed to all but attorneys, the defend ants and press representatives. The taraet for the orincioal attack in relation to his charges 'of prejudicial propaganda by Vanderver was the Cen tralia Chamber of Commerce for a leaf let sent out. he alleged, throughout Grays Harbor county by thousands. SEVENTEEN HAD COPIES At a meeting of the Aberdeen Central council, which Vanderver attended last week, he asserted of the 25 men present. 17 had received copies of this publica tion, which Included an editorial from a Centralia newspaper and additional comment. "These were sent out after January 7," the attorney said, "and were sent in a deliberate effort to intimidate ju rors in ghls county after the venue had been changed from Lewis county." Affidavits submitted , by vanderver also accused the Dally Washlngtonian of Hoqulam, the World of Aberdeen and the Vldette of Montesano of carrying on the alleged propaganda campaign. "On mature consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the palm for this matter should be awarded the Vldette Of Montesano for its villainous attack Of January 2," Vanderver added. LCGIOX OX HAND SeCtes Of members of the American Legion are here, many of them in uni form. Headquarters of the Legion have been opened in the city hall and a large dormitory for Legioners has been opened at a local garage and this was filled Sunday night. The quarters are guard ed by armed men in military uniform. Vanderver submitted three affidavit in support of his contention for change of venue. Two of these were from residents of Grays Harbor county, Roy Lampltt of Hoqulam and Joseph II. Schroyer of Aberdeen, employed as in vestigators for the defense. Lampltt said he was an overseas veteran, having spent 15 months In France with the Fourth division. The affidavit stated that Lampltt had spent three weeks end had Interviewed 200 people of the com munity about Montesano, finding them intensely partisan against the defend ants. Sohroyer had also been employed for the same purpose and his statement was -much the same. CALLED DRAFT DODGER These affidavits were served on attory neys for the prosecution Sunday and the latter immediately became busy with counter affidavits. At a late hous their contents had not been divulged, but It wu said they Impugned the - character of the affiants' for the defense, especially accusing Lampltt of being a draft dodeer. The defense submitted a third general statement, Etgned by all the defendants, ASPIRIN FOR HEADACHE Nam "Bayer" is on Genuine Aspirin say Bayer Insist on "Bayer Tablets' of Aspirin' in a "Bayer package." containing proper directions for Headache.

After argument of the motion "to change venue, it was predicted that Vanderver would ask for a separate trial for each of the defendants, aad that special examination be made of the defendant Loren Roberts, to deter mine his sanity. Roberts' written con fession, obtained the day of his arrest In Centralia, la said to be one of the principal mainstays of the prosecution. FOtK ,CT)5TE8SIOH CLAIMED The accused men are charged with th murder of Warren Grimm, former lieu tenant In the Siberian expeditionary forces 'and Centralia attorney.
