JURORS STILL
DELIBERATING
IN RED TRIAL
Evidence Turned Over to Men

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

j ill believed t be their first discussion

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. !
SHERIFF HAS WARRANTS
Complaints charging each of the de
fendants with murder In the first de
gree In connection with the slaying of
, Arthur McKI fresh were given to Sher

Wood in the East
Is a Soldier, But
In the West He Is
Called a Doctor
"Washington, March 13. 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

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.

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.
