JURORS STILL DELIBERATING IN RED TRIAL Evidence Turned Over to Men . at 10:20 Friday Night; They Retire Without Discussion) Early Verdict Not Expected. By Fred II. McNeil 'Over The Journal's Special LaAed Wira) Monteano, Wash., March IS. Al though the case was put In their hands at 10:20 Friday night, the Jurors In the Centralia Armistice day murder trial apparently did not begin their deliberations until they had breakfasted this morning. The 12 men elected a foreman imme diately after retiring last night, then expressed a desire to go to bed. At 8 O'clock this morning they were marched r down to a. restaurant for a hearty feast. I They returned to the courthouse after ? the meal antl were locked up for what j ill believed t be their first discussion ; of the cae. juoge wuson tame iotmn cn.motri , at 9 o'clock, hut there was no indication 'that the 12 men who are to decide the fate of the 10 defendant!, had any in formation to impart to him or any de ll to ark for further Instructions. Because of the number of men ac cused and the amount of evidence to be weighed, the general opinion is that the jurors will not reach a verdict one way i or another inutile the next 24 hours. !

The charges and counter charges be tween the followers of Major Gen eral Leonard Wood and Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, which have enlivened the Republican pre convention contest, continued apace today when Lowden supporters here alleged that although General Wood is portrayed to Eastern voters in his regular uniform, ho is known to Western voters only as Dr. Wood, a sedate gentleman in civilian clothes. Representative Frank L. Smith of Illinois, who is in Chicago In charge of Lowden headquarters, issued a state ment in which he said : "The managers of General Wood's campaign have recently complained that certain Republicans who are un friendly to the general's candidacy have paid that the generals interests are suffering because he must make his campaign in the- uniform of the army, They graciously absolve (Governor Low den of any personal responsibility for these reports, but seek to intimate tflat some of the governor's supporters are tne responsible parties. Let me say em piratically that this is a type of politics to which Lowden managers have not resorted. "If such a regrettable statement has been made by anyone, it can be attrib uted only to the confusing fact that the members of General Wood's campaign in the West speak of him only as Dr. Wood and display i only those photo- graphs which show'bim In civilian at tire, while in the East he is designated ! always as General Wood, and his mili tary photographs are used to the ex clusion of all others. It is probable that General Wood, far from being handicapped by his uniform, which is honored by everyone. iB suffering from the inconsistencies of his own mana gers." E A committee of up-state newspa per publishers met at the Portland Press club this morning to discuss the paper shortage and other prob lems vital to the success of their business. Prank Jenkins of the Eu gene Register, was chairman of the meeting and others present wer: Lee Drake, representing the Pendle- ton East Oregonian and Astoria Budget: Colonel Carl Abrams of the Salem Statesman : E. M.. Reagan, of the Albany Herald, and Lloyd Riches, of the Oregon City Enter prise. Riches is secretary of the Oregon State Editorial association. There are 2b daily papers in the state outside of Portland and all are handi capped by the scarcity of white paper. No action was taken at today's meeting, according to Riches, beyond tentative plans for an investigation of the source of supply and the probability of relief from the threatened parer famine. Almost of equal Importance to the publishers is the scarcity of labor. Wages paid to printers in the smaller towns of the state are higher than ever before. Riches said, but It is impossi ble to secure men to operate the plants. An advertising campaign Is proposed in Kastern cities to secure printers and pressmen, hut advices received from Eastern and Middle Western states in dicate a serious shortage of labor In those sections and relief is doubtful.

ED TORS D SCUSS PAPER n AG TAX DUE ON GRANT LAND PI BY U Settlement of Over $500,000 Claim of Coos and Douglas Counties Is Final Chapter in Oregon & California Land Case Back taxes, due Coos and Douglas counties from the Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands have been paid by the government, the checks having- been sent to the county treasur ers of Coos arid Douglas counties last night by Harry E. Laughlin, chief of the field division of the gen eral land office, who is acting as disbursing: officer for the depart ment of the interior. The amount due Coos county totaled J 136,141.68, and that due Douglas county $55,079.27. When the act determining the con troversy between the federal government and the wagon road company was en acted, tt was provided in It that all back taxes due the counties should be paid by the government, but not until Oswald West had been commissioned by the two counties to go to Washington as their representative. The bill had been held up and the claims of the counties were in danger of not being given due con sideration by congress. As a result of his mission it was writ ten into the law that the amounts due the counties should be determined and paid. The transmission of the govern ment checks closes the long contest for the recovery of these lands for the pub lic, first by suit instituted by the gov ernment to cancel the grant, and later by a compromise between the govern ment and the grantees by which the lands were returned as a result of, and by means of the congressional act.
