9000 Legion Posts
To Begin Barrage
For Soldier Bonus
Salem, Or., Dec. 25. Nine thousand
American -Legion posts throughout the
nation will be asked to lay down a bar
rag of demands upon the present con
gress for a speedy enactment of pay ad
justment or bonus law for men serving
in, the world war, according to tele
graphic information received here by
Adjutant. General George A. White from
the national headquarters of the legion
at Indianapolis. The, information was
received in response to a demand on the
parr, of White that, some concerted ac
tion be taken in an. effort to secure the
enactment of the measure into law.
The barrage, it is, said,. will be aimed
principally at the senate, where the
American Legion's bill is being held up.
.Enactment of such a law by the fed
eral congress would relieve the several
states from the necessity of such action,
according to the adjutant general, who
played an important part in the organi
zation of the legion, while in the service
overseas, and who assisted materially in
the organization work in this country. -
Alleged Slayer of
Policeman, to Face
Charge of Murder
Aberdeen, Wash., Dec. 25. Informa
tion was given out here by Chief of Po
lice George Dean to the effect that Adam
Sirhoff, former partner with Harry Kar
gin and his bartender, Pete Ambaloff, in
a soft drink parlor here, under arrest at
Bellingharrl, with other Russians for al
leged bootlegging, will be charged with
murder in the first degree for the death
of Nicolas Koleski, Aberdeen policeman,
who was murdered near South Aberdeen.-
Koleski's body was found Sep
tember 26.
The evidence on which the charge Is
based was secured through confessions
secured by Chief Dean, Sheriff -elect
Elmer Gibson and Manager May of a
Seattle detective bureau after hours of
questioning. Koleski was lured to a
point three miles south of Aberdeen in
the woods by Ambaloff upon pretense
of locating a moonshine still and was
Bhot three. times while blindfolded.
When Koleski, it is alleged, sat up and
wrapped a handkerchief over the wounds
in- his head, Sirhoff hit him over the
head with the butt of a revolver and
then shot him twice more. Koleski had
developed evidence against Sirhoff,
which caused the oplice to raid his place
of business. This is considered the mo
tive for the crime.
