Mayor Uaker was the first speaker presented by the Ad club and his hearty welcome to the visitors was a fitting preamble to the meeting. That-the Ad club's Innovation of en tertaining delegations from Oregon cities Was a success in its first trial is the testimony both of Astoria and Port land men. Antorla benefited in this case by presenting her broad-gauged ideas of progress to Portland and Port land benefited by a refreshing of the knowledge of what Columbia river ports development will mean, nof'only to this city, but to the entire state. The three viniting speakers reviewed the accomplishments of the port of As toria and forecasted the growth of that city through the evolution of plana which are not only contemplated, but In many cases actually under way. ARMED PEOPLE IN COURT AROUSE JUDGE (Continued From Pi(e One) a fair hearing to both sides and was passed for cause. "I jtnow nothing of the I. W. W., save what I've- heard." he said. On examination by 'vanfferveer. he ad mitted naving an opinion in regard to the shooting. Vahderveer challenged. " was resmu-a oy me prosecution. Then Judge Wilson took a hinH in the examination and at first denied Van- oerveer 8 cnarge. Vanderveer accused the court of "not listening to the examination." as he Freedom 1 "from headaches, nervous ness, indigestion and sleeplessness.which for mer tea and coffee drinkers experience after a change from tea or cof fee to- instant POSTUM Soon prove There's a Reason" fbrPostum "V Made by Postum Cereal Co. Battle CreekJliche has charged several tims previously, and requested that the record be read. When the stenographer finished, the court's mind had been changed and the talesman was excused. Frank Watkins, confectioner of Elma, the next talesman, had a firm opinion hi regard to the ease and was quickly disqualified by the state. With no opinions in regard to the Cen tralia matters. C C. Strayer, grain and paint dealer of Aberdeen, was quickly passed by the state. Kxamination by the defence devel oped that Strayer was not opposed to the communistic plan of industrialism as advocated by the I. W. W. as com pared with the present "capitalistic" sys tem, to use Vanderveer's expression. BELIEVES IN THINKING "I believe the working people should think for themselves and be taught to think for themselves," Utrayer answered to another of tills line of economics Questions. He had joined the Chamber of Com merce, but never attended any meet ings, he said. He was not a member of the American Legion nor had he helped it in any way. He was not op posed to Organization, nor strikes. "Do you believe in the right of any one or any collection of people to tell me or anyone what I shall think or what I shall do?" asked Vanderveer. "I do not," said Strayer. He waB then asked if he believed that the American Legion had any more right to dictate what people should think or do than other Individuals or organizations, or if the I. W. W. had these rights. Replies were negative. More and more the trial of the 11 men assumes the aspect of. a labor case, even aa suggested on the first day by attorneys for both sides. In the questioning of prospective Jury men by Vanderveer, the matter of 'communistic" plans of industrialism, as opposed to "capitalistic" systems, was gone Into deeply, indicating that the theories of the I. W. W. and other radical bodies will be widely aired be fore the case is completed. Two talesmen were examined and re jected, one by the prosecution and an other by the defense, and a third was being grilled at noon. JCROB MAY BE ILL Questions tending to show that one of the jurors passed by both sides Wednes day might be in ill health were asked of O. C. Schneider, hotelkeeper of Ab erdeen, by Attorney W. H. Abel of the prosecution, just before the noon recess today. Schneider was the sixth Juror tenta-. tively seated in the box following an ex amination of less than half an hour Wednesday afternoon. After finishing with him. Abel announced to the court that he would reserve the privilege -f questioning the Juror today In regard to his reading the Seattle Union Record. PAINS IX HEAD X- In questioning Schneider, Abel Yirst asked him about the severe pains in his head with which he sai he was period ically afflicted. The juror described these, saying ihat their recurrence eaused him to collapse and that the pains affected his hearing. The juror later said that he had a son by hla first wife, 17 years old, who was a mental defective and confined in a state institution, and another, a son who ts hopelessly Insane and confined to the asylum at Steilacoom. Abel asked the Juror if.,tn the dlvcrfee proceedings resulting in the separa tion from the first wife, ha had not been charged with threatening to kill her. The juror was not allowed to reply on Vanderveer's objection.' "One of these defendants la going to advance a plea of Insanity and we want sound-minded jurors to try htm," said Abel in defense of his question. The examination of the juror was continued this afternoon, when the state promised to take up the Seattle Union Record matter. , With the retention of C C. Strayer as a juror over the challenge of Vander veer, seven are now tentatively seated. They are: S. A. Toungs, Montesano; Thomas C. Conner, Montesano; Mrs. Emily C. Pattlson, Aberdeen ; W. F. Ferguson, HoQuiam; Orton Glenn, Elma: O. C. Schneider, Aberdeen, and Strayer. The latter is a paint and grain dealer of Aberdeen. Following ma early examination Strayer was asked in regard to hla having caused the arrest of an agitator who was speaking in the street at Aber deen eight yeara ago. Strayer said this was done at the request of the police chief and because of bis belief In up holding city ordinances. PICTURE OF MURDER Admitting that he had a "picture" in his mind of a murder being committed at Centralis, which would have to be ertaced by evidence, Strayer was chat lenged by the defense. Thia waa denied oy we state ana ne remained. W. E. Hall, alleged I. W, VT. organ Izen, was arrested here Wednesday on information sworn to by J. C Horn of Hoqutam. charging him with dissemi nating "propaganda among veniremen. He was- taken to Hoquiam, and Wednes day, night Attorney George F. Vander veer got hla release by appearing before a justice, of the peace at hoqutam and posting 1560 bail. Vanderveer said to day that Hall wag: employed as an In. veetlgater for the defense. FIVE MEN AND 0M5 WOMAN ARE NOW ON CENTRAUA JLTIY FT Sptrid LiMi Wl t The jMeasl Montesano,. Wash, Jam 23.-EccUcnt progress, considering the- conditions be ing encountered, was made in the se lection of a jury here for the trial of the 11 defendants charged with murder In the Centralia case Wednesday after noon, and six men and one woman are now tentatively jurors. PASSED IV HALF HOUB " Following the afternoon intermission. Orton Glenn, dairyman of Satsop, came up for examination, and In a surpris ing manner, questioned on both sides, was rushed so rapidly that he was ac cepted without challenge within half an hour. Glenn said he waa a friend of the two Blands, Bert and O. C. who are defendants, but had not seen them for two or three years. After Glenn, O. C. Schneider, hotel keener of Aberdeen, was examined and In almost as short time was accepted by both sides, subject, however, to ex smlnation today in relation to the Seat tle Union Record. S. F. Berdine, saw filer in a shingle mill at Hoquiam. was being examined when court was adjourned for the day. Berdine said he had received circulars on both edles. but had paid little at tention to them. From his readings, however, he had arrived at a conclusion which the testimony would have to dis prove. DOESX'T OPPOSE I. W. W. The juror Glenn said that he had been a member of the "Four L's," the common name he used for the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, for two years when he worked in tho wooda This was In response to questioning by the defense attorney. , He was not op posed to the I. W. W.. he added. The Bland brothers he had known for eight or nine years. Glenn said he liked them, and had never had trouble of any kind with them, although he had not met the brothers In two or three years. Replying to a question from the prose cution, he said he had no objections to capital punishment. His acquaintance ship with the Blands, It was averred, would not affect his Judgment In the case, and he had formed no opinions from perusal of the papers. Of the business of the day. most Inter est was centered in the quiszing of Mrs. Pattison as to her qualifications. She is an elderly woman, rather portly, wears glasses, and made her answers in a firm, low voice, all the while looking straight at her questioners. She rarely hesitated In replying, never argued and often grasped the question too quickly for opposition attorneys who sought to enter an objection. Her husband is a carpenter at Aber deen, and she said she had been a staunch Presbyterian. Evidently she bad come in personal contact with mem bers of the I. W. W., for In her excoria tions of that organization she would say, "I know," although Just what these derl ing were was not revealed. Decided opinions about the I. W. W. as an organization were voiced by Mrs. Pattison. She was passed for cause by the prosecution, and the defense pro ceeded with Us questioning. HA8 DECIDED OPINIONS Stating that she believed in the death penalty. Mrs. Pattison was asked If she had an opinion against the I. W. W. "I have, and very strong ones," she replied. She said one son had served in the army. "I know a great many members of the I. W. W. who are very sorry they belong to the organisation and I am sure some of them will tell the truth," the tales woman said in reply to a question of her belief as to her ability as a Juror. Asked if she had prejudice against the I. W. W., she said c "It is not prejudice. It is downright hatred from a good cause. But it is a hatred of the system and not of the men. I have had that opinion for 10 years." HAZT AS TO DETAILS That she was open to conviction as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants, she said, was due to the fact that she was dubious over details of the shoot ing. 'She at first thought that the march ers In the parade were to blame for the shooting, in that they attacked the I. W. W. hall, she asnerted, but doubt as to this arose when she heard of the men stationed on the hill who had fired into the ranks of . the legionaires. "As I understand it, you did not like the L W. W.," queried Vanderveer. in beginning his examination. You think it is a criminal organization?" "The worst I ever knew of," she answered. TOCNO BOT8 MISLED "You understand, of course, that the I. W. W. is not on trial here just these men who are charged with murder," the attorney countered. A short time later' Vanderveer said. "You believe the organization " teaches and generally advocates murder?" "I don't-believe it; I know it." was the answer. "I know of young boys be ing roped in who didn't know that it was a criminal organization." "Some of these men on trial are mem bers of the I. W. W.," said the attorney. "I don't know It." said Mrs. Pattison. "Well, I'm telling you now." "You don't want to sit on this case, then?" asked Vanderveer. "I do not,". she replied. ONE SON IN SERVICE "Do you take the Seattle Union-Record or approve tf It?" "I do not." "Do you approve of it?" "I am not prejudiced but I do not take the paper." "Is it because of this case?" Vander veer then asked. "No. sir." "Is it because of Its position on labor questions?" he asked. "Yes, sir." Her son, she said, had been in service but she didn't know whether or not he was a member of the Legion. She had not contributed to any Legion work, she answered, because she had xnot been asked, but would have done so if she had had a chance. "Do you believe the I. W. W. should be allowed to maintain halls and meeting places for the transaction of business?" Vanderveer asked. "No. sir, I do not," was the reply. Immediately after this Vanderveer challenged Mrs. Pattison, and was over ruled. - 'JS.
