FRANKNESS DEMANDED The sensation which has followed the revelation of President Wilson's peet script on his Adriatic protest, warning Kurope that American may be with.?, drawn from the Versailles treaty, has roaulted in a widespread demand In the press tpr "frankness and open dealing for the nake of world unity." "A situation has arisen which calls' for infinite delicacy In its treatment and also frankneas," eatd the Kvening Standard, a paper friendly to Premier Lloyd George. "The nation should know what their governments are doing. Much harm could have been avoided In the past If such knowledge had been given to the people." ONLT FACTS SERVICEABLE "In the dark and tortuous ways of diplomacy to which we have grown ac cuslomed'ef late, nothing can be taken for granted," said the Manchester Guardian. "While the form and wording of tha premier's reply to President Wilson's Adriatic protest were greatly softened, the construction remains clumsy and un fortunate," said the Times. "It is a dialectical attempt to controvert the American argumenta and declares that both Italy and Serbia were unwilling to entertain the flume solution worked out in December." The Times asks In conclusion : "What will It mean if President Wilson proposes to make the December solu tion effective?" NQTES KEPT SECRET 3ECAUSE OF T1IE JTALI.4N SITUATION Washington, Feb. 19. The allies' re ply to President Wilson's note was not at all sharp, and while it la argumenta tive. In the diplomatic sense, It never theless paves the way for a compromise, according to the Impression here. It is regarded as certain that the Lloyd Oeorge-Clemenceau-NKtl effort to solve the Flume question, without consulting President Wilson, has been tossed into the discard, and that whenever a solu tion of that enigma shall be arrived at. President Wilson will have been "among tlioBo present" in formulating the plan. MILITARISTS BACK POET The allies' note waa not made public and, In fact, none of the notes is to be n.ade public until a favorable decision is reached. Then, perhaps, the complete text of all the correspondence will be available to the people. U Is under stood, though, that this government baa requested permission from the allies jto make the correspondence public. ' One of the reasons that argues against publication of the- notes at this time Is Italy's Internal condition. Italy is in a bad way now and anything cal-" culated to excite unduly the Latin tem perament is beat left unsaid, in the opin ion of the men who are striving to find a way out of the Flume muddle. The situation, so far as facts and the fan cies ar concerned, is this : The poet. D'Annunzio, who has re ceived the plaudits of Italian militarists ever since he entered Flume and as sumed control of the city, Is still there. FICME GROWS BESTLESS During the poet's occupation, two plebescltes have been held, both of Mulch have indicated that the inhabitr ants desired D'Annunzio to retire- i?e has declared both . elections Invalid. Personally, according to well Informed sources Tiere, D'Annunslo would wel come an opportunity to leave Plume, but the opportunity must be of such a nature as to vindicate in a measure his action in seising the city. And this is where Italy la left In a lureh.' Even though all efforts to compromise failed, and she fell back on the pact of Lon don, she would receive Fiume. Mean time, the people of Fiume are figura tively and literally mashing their teeth because all of the trade, which under normal conditions, would be tiiera. Is going to .Trieste.

Perhaps it was because Nature was ashamed to see the streets unwashed by the usual rains, that she sent a blanket of snow to cover up her negli gence, but If this was the case, she be came ashamed of tha attempt. Fifteen minutes later Old Sol broke through a rift In the clouds and began removing the snow. The snow was purely local, said E. L. Wells, weather forecaster, this morn ing. However, tha squall extended ever the major portion of Portland and vv cinity. "There is a possibility of further pre cipitation today." said Wells, "but It will be too warm for snow and so the fall, tf any. wtlj be rain." The only trouble caused by the snow, which fell lnarge, damp flakes, was to make travel over the streets by auto mobile extremely precarious. Brakes would not hold ou the slippery aurface. Thus far In February there has been but one day with a measurable precipita tion, according to a re pert sent eut by the weather bureau. The rainfall Is .1 of an Inch so far this month. The near est appreach to this record occurred in 1889, when the rainfall for the first 18 daya of the month was .20 of an Inch. The normal precipitation for this period Is 3-? inches.

It Is truo that he did not favor the coupling of the League of Nations with the peace treaty simply because he thought better consideration could be given to each separately. But he did not press his views and when the Amer ican mission got to Paris, he worked as hard as anybody to help realise the ideal which the president had set before the peace conference. He wrote a plan for a lieague of Nations and submitted It along with the reel, but showed no signs of displeasure when it was not approved, nor was he peeved at the fre quent prominence bestowed on Colonel House. He took the president's idio syncrasies for what they were worth and like a faithful servant did all he could to keep relations harmonious- But tha president Instead of appreci ating the self sacrifice of his secretary f state, oftentimes forgot he had one. He gave so much time to Colonel House and placed so much confidence in the man from Texas, that It was a subject of public comment ofj every side. Yester day Mr. Lansing hid his pride and did his job. It waa when the Shantung settlement came up and, when the presi dent became Involved in the meshea of European diplomacy that Mr. Lansing expressed views on a number of ques tions, all of which served to Irritate Mr. Wilson, who couldn't brook disagree ment. Presently Mr. Wilson began to lose confidence in the judgment of Colo nel House and when he failed to con sult him, he relied more on Mr. Lan sing's advice. It began to look as if the two men would get close together after all. Mr. Lansing continued to work hopefully. He did not want the president to go on that western trip. He thought Mr. Wilson could do much more effective work in Washington and he felt, too, that the physical strain might break him down. But the real crux of the situation came whan Mr. Lansing showed unmis takable readiness to write a compromise on the peace treaty, a willingness to adapt the Lodge reservations to the Wilson viewpoint In such fashion that the ratification could be accomplished without loss of dignity by either side. But Mr. Wilson was furious. He was impatient with anyone who even men tioned the word "reservation" in his presence. The nearest one could get in communication that would not bring forth hla displeasure was the employ ment of the word "Interpretations." Sen ator Hitchcock could probably tell an In terest! story some day about his trou bles with President Wilson, which would perhaps throw light on why Mr. Lan sing was summarily dismissed. Internationally the departure of Mr Lansing will cause much uncertainty, for our ambassadors and ministers abroad have long felt that they were unable to execute their tasks because o the lack of knowledge of what the de partment of state had In mind. There will be even more perplexity because It wll take the new secretary of state some time te get his bearings. Mr. Lansing's going will be regretted by newspaper men. generally who regarded htm as not necessarily the best secretary of state wa hava ever had but one; who served the public faithfully and as an honest. Christian gentleman who gave more to tha president than he ever re ceived. Good Roads' Given Backing by Grand Jury of Jackson Medford. Feb. IS.

W. W. halL Barnett came to Uie stand dressed In a brown coat, blue shirt and blue over alls, and carried his big black beaver hat, a typical cowboy model. Ills voice trembled nervously through out the examination, but he glared de fiantly at his accusers and on cross examination admitted very little. JOIXED I. W. W. I MARCH Barnett said he was 58 years old. was married and the father of a two-year-old child. He hftd been employed as a miner at Kopaha and had been a mem ber of the United Mineworkers of Amer ica for 14 years. He said he Joined the L W. W. last March. Barnett said he ro,e hla hore to Centralla November II to fix up his homestead papers and intended to con sult Attorney Elmer Smith, one of the defendants. He went to the Roderick hotel to see ti McAllisters, proprietors, and re mained there reading newspapers about the coal strike, until after the shooting, j He said Mrs. McAllister and another j man were In the room with him when the shooting was -oing on in the 'L W. W. hall next door. DEMES OWNING OUX . Afterwards he took a parcel post MrUam to tha nostoff ice. This was addressed, he admitted' on crows-examination, to his mother-in-law in Cot tonwood, Idaho.. Barnett was shown the 38-65 calibre Winchester rifle which the state entered as an exniDit ror Identification, and denied ownership of tha gun. He eaid his gun waa a .30 calibra Remington, and Identified the weapon when it was produced by Vanderveer. Hu had this gun when arrested in the woods near r.la heme by a posse. At the time of the arrest. Barnett said, he was feeding his hounds, and aaw the men searching through the net tlement below. He took hia rifle and went to a wooded point nearby com manding a view of his house. COCL1) HAVE KILLED POSSE "I could have shot all of them from there, If I wanted to," he declared, re ferring to the posse. Barnett said he fled from the posse because he did not want to experience what he had. ob served the day of the shooting, when he saw a man surrounded by a mob, standing under a telephone pole with a rope about his neck. During the cross-examination oi liar nett, Vanderveer demanded of Special Prosecutor W. H. Abe) a copy of the statement made by tht witness to at torneys of Lewis county in the sheriffs office at Chehalis. During the alter cation Vanderveer again called Abel "a lumber trust attorney" and Judge Wil son, thoroughly exasperated, ordered both attorneys to see him in hla office. MORE On cress examination Abel asked Bar nett If he had not said that he "wouW surrender to an officer, but not to any damned legionnaires" when the posse closed In on him. Barnett vehemently denied this. "Furthermore, if I said that, bring in your witnesses and prove it." he cried. "Yes, we intend to," Abel retorted, calmly. Barnett said that the McAllister wo man, during me snwuuus. ni : calibre revolver, which she surrendered i when ex-soldiers seized her. 8LEPT WITH BLAND Barnett also testified he had slept with Brt ("Curly") Bland in the Ava lon hotel Sunday night before the raid. "In room 1QT asked AbeL Barnett nodded assent. "You knew the place well, then?" Abel asked. . v a Tha witness admitted that he had TNI IDCAL LOW ah i eel r rowansk EUGENE O'BRIEN SiWuTT PEOPLES been arrested In Idaho a couple of years 1 ago on a charge of anti-draft agitation, Despite the fact that he had been a member of the I. W. W. lees than a year, tha witness thought that he wag suffi ciently on the "inside" of the Centralla radical organisation to have known if "anything Illegal," as Abel put it, was under discussion. Much of Barnett's testimony n cross examination waa in denial of charges against him in the prosecutor's questions. Arter tha morning intermission the de fendant was asked, on further cross ex amination. If he could name the "busi ness men" whom he saw beckoning to the ex-aoldiers as they passed the I. W. W. hall, but he was unable to telL DID XT TELL ALL Speaking in regard to the statement xiven the attorneys at Chehalis. Barnett said that he purposely did not tell all he knew because he did not want them to "frame" on him. Abel handed the typewritten copy of his statement to Barnett. "Tell the jury if you think there is any framup in this," tha prosecutor directed. Barnett spent some time read in it. after which the statement was offered in evidence and read to the jury by Vanderveer. It did not differ materi ally from Barnett's testimony. Asked If any of the soldiers in the al leged raiding party on the I. W. W. hall had guns, Barnett said that amona those who entered the Roderick two or three minutes after the shooting, one waa arruea wltti a large caliber re volver. Barnett ssld that at first he had not wanted to make a statement while in jail at ChehalU, but that the proso- cutors Had niHlbted. 8AYS HE WAS MAD The reason why he did not mention in tne statement that the businessmen of Centra lia had urged oq the soldiers m me raw was because Cunningham. (one of the prosecutors), was in the parade and know all about it, the wit nees charged. After getting home Tuesday night following the shooting, Barnett said that he was not excited, but pretty mad. "Mud about what?" asked Vanderveer. "Mad about tvhat they did to those men when tlu-y had them In their power." Barnett told of his arrest In Idaho In June,- 1917. It waa over a remark he had made about the draft law being unconstitutional, but he was never con victed, ha said. Previous to that, he had "agritated" over working conditions under which men paid JI.2J per day had to pay Ji.f'O for u eack of flour, he testified. Prosecutor Atxjl branded him an agitator, and asked if he knew of the I. W. W. souk about "Spilt Bul lets." Vanderveer denied that any such nong existed in the 1. W. W. publlcu tions, and Abel promptly characterised him as the "high priest and poet of the I. W. W. literature." Superior Judge John M. Wilson this afternoon denied the requests of both attorneys that the jurors be permitted to view the premises of the ohooting at Centralla. The court held that the exhibits now entered are sufficient for the Jurys understanding. MCALLISTER TO TESTIFT The McAllisters, proprietors of the Roderick hotel, will testify this after noon in proving the alibi of Barnett, Defenfe Attorney George F. Vander veer said at noon today. Several other wltnesnes for the name purpose are also expected to testify. "I shall firitt clear up odds and ends of testimony, surh aa the alibi for Bur nett and Mtke Sheehan." said Vander veer, "and the insanity of Loren Rob erts. After that I plan to take up the case in general, the plot to raid the W. W. hall and wind up with details of the attack. All of the defendants will testify before our case is complete." Just before summoning Barnett as a witness this morning Vanderveer, in a brief statement, outlined that he would prove that Eugene Barnett waa not in the Avalon as charged by the prosecu tion, that Iren Roberts was nuts, that Mike Sheehan was not in Centralla until o'clock on Monday night pre ceding the parade, which was the fol Second Floor, Pittock Block irSk 0T BrP Friday these newer, more appealing garments.
