in the machine shop, where Tilden Is
a happy, industrious workman, the deli
cate parts of automobile gears are made.
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.
Some day he hopes art will have a
"revival and once more commissions will
come to him.

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. '

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

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

The defense submitted a third general
statement, Etgned by all the defendants,

Green said. "The gun had passed back
from one to the other several times.
We had both been trying it and snap
ping the trigger. I did not see him re
place the shells. Thinking the gun' was
still unloaded. I pulled the trigger and
it went off. He fell to the floor.'"
Moyd Gaines, a fireman with engine

tine on the bed in the room When the
shootiner occurred.
"I saw both or them looking at the
gun, said uaines. i aon i Know wnicn

discharge and jumped up, the gun was
lying on the floor and Grenfell had

CITY MORALLY
II
SAYSLARQCHE
Contends, .Howeter, There Is No
Legal Ground for Patine Ped-
erson's Losses on Auditorium.
"The city has no legal responsi
bility for reimbursing the bondsmen
of Contractor Hans Federson to the
extent of $76,000 in their losses sus
tained in constructing The Audito
rium, but ther is a slight imsral re-
LaRoche on Saturday in discussing
a question that has been hanelna:
fire for months. The matter will
be reopened in formal discussion be
fore the My council next Wednesday
morning, according to Mayor Baker, j
LaRoche believes the city had amoral -
responsibility to refund Pederson's bends-
men for loss involved lncuttlng atone
at The Auditorium when contract pro
visions provided for cutting stone at the
quarry.
Mayor Baker is uncertain what course
should be taken in the matter. He feels
that there la a alight moral responsibil
ity, although It would be setting a
dangerous precedent to pay the claim
ants. "Nothing under the blue sky WO! ever
cast my vote toward allowing the bonds
men a single cent," is the manner la
Which Commissioner Blgelow character- .
Ises the matter. "Wa could pay out thou
sands If we recognised every lose that
contractors have suffered through their
own negligence. I'm absolutely opposed
to the payment of tba money."
Commissioner Pier Is stodylng the
whole matter carefully with the Idea of
gaining every fact before committing
himself. Ha may favor submitting the
matter to a board of arbitration, he
stated on Saturday.
Commissioner Mann states that he has
not had an opportunity to study all fac
tors Involved In the claim, but will Im
mediately investigate.
Commissioner Bsrbur feels that the
city cannot pay tha money legally, but
that there may be a . moral responsi
bility Involved.
Mayor Baker will present the report
of the committee of five business men
at the council meeting next Wednesday.
The committee composed of W. F. Wood
ward, chairman; F anklln T. Griffith.
Marshal N. Dana, K. B. McNaughton
and Otto Ilartwfg advised the council,
after careful consideration, that the
bondsmen were entitled to reimburse
ment for losses, and that the city had
a moral responsibility to meet. They
recommended that a group of fair
minded business men be appointed by
the council to determine the exact
amount of equities that the city shoutd
refund.
