McCarthy as president and treasurer of the llecla Mlnln company at It annuat stock holders ineetinsr,! held Tuesday in Spokane, the question as to whether or not this famous stiver-lead prop erty Would close down was defi nllely settled. Strong influences: antagonistic to the management's known policy of continu ing production developed at the meeting, but a large majority of the- stock voted against a hotdown and as a conse quence general rejoicing exists in the camo today. ii i Although capltaltaed for only J250.000 fiie Hecla during the pant three years haa produced ore with a gross value of jo,50fl,ooo and net pronto of more than M.6O0.O00.

The most significant utter ance :in the entire: message is the fol lowing: "There can be no prosperity nor the fundamental purposes sought to be achieved by: any such association so long as it Is theirorgan of any partciu lar treaty, or committed to the-attainment of the special aims of any nation or group of nations." HOE8.VT SCRAP, AM. But Mr. Harding: doesn't propose wrapping: all the machinery of a treaty which has the signature of 40 nations. InRtead he saya : 'it would be idle to declare for separate treaties of peace with the central powers on the assump tion that these alone would be adequate because the situation is so involved that our , peace engagements cannot ignore the old world seljkttonehlp and. the set tlements already effected, nor la it de sirable to do so in preserving our own riehts and contracting future relation ships. The wiser (course would seem to be the acceptance of the confirmation of our rights and interests as already provided and to engage under the exist ing treaty, assuming, of course, that this can be. satisfactorily accomplished by such explicit reservations and modi fications as . will) secure our absolute freedom-- from inadvisable commitments and safeguard all our essential inter ests."' BLl'ST OX HOMK AFFAIRS But Mr. Hardline sprang some sur prises too, in handling domestic affairs. He fearlessly expressed himself on many subjects w hich it jas thought were too delicate even to mention. He told con gress to stop haggling about whether it was wiser to revise the tariff or the tax laws. He told the -congress to do both i and get the' job done. ' He recog nized the Idea that "we cannot sell un less we buy," but insisted that a pro tective tariff wasji necessary in order to give J American industries the . "capacity to sell." Ho nromised that he would not permit greed1 or selfishness or any other abuse in making up the protective tariff laws. EC050.MT AS A5 EXAMPLE He gave his lyiews on government economy,, declaring that the high cost of government must be cut down as an example to those ho should cut the high coot of living. He pointedly re ferred to non-perishable staples and aid that while they would be "slow in yielding to lowered prices, the. main tained retail costs in perishable focds cannot be Justified." The president ad vocated a congressional inquiry as a iii t. 11.1 vi i i'V V r.i j, ivt? 1 luuju.'llin iiv. He suggested that congress do some ;r.ore investigating on the railroad prob lema hint that. perhap3 the Kseh t'ummins law might need amendment. He wants the federal laws on good roads amended and strengthened. He argued tor better press rates on cable and radio for the American! newspaper reader. He spoke hopefully pf the opportunities of the air mail service. Mr. Harding is against making an In dependent branch, of government out of A Serlrs' of Human Interest j Talks on Insurance. I BUILD UP YOUR HOME STATE Are you more interested in making m6ney plentiful in New York or at home? Millions in life insurance pre miums leave the west annually most of it never returns for investment. j .Why build up a surplus else where to be loaned at a low rate of interest.

OPPOSITION aviation and says "aVlatlon Is Insepa rable from either the army or the navy." his campaign pledges Turning "to campaign piedges, Mr. Harding denounces "barbaric lynching." He nrgee the creation of "a department of public welfare" to take care of educa tion, public health, sanitation, conditions Of worker In Industry, ehild welfare, proper amusement ' and recreation, the elimination of social vice and many other subjects. He gave his approval to the maternity bill. On disarmament Mr. Harding spoke Without equivocation. He said the United States was in accord With Mich a movement, but wo shall not entirely discard our agencies for defense until there is removed the need, to defend. We a -e -ready to cooperate with other na tions to approximate disarmament, but merest prudence forbids that we disarm alone. ! Such, in brief. Is Mr. Harding's first utterance to congress, and judging by the expressions of men who might be expected to i oppose it, there Is every reason to believe the new president has struck many a popular chord, CHEST WILL DRIVE ON HOMES TONIGHT r : ,( Continued From Pace One) ar out. today assisting with the drive in the residence district.

PUTS HALT ONTRADE ABUSES (Continued From Pass One) In making Its recommendations the board of directors said : "It is our firm purpose to prevail on our membership to so amend our rules as to preclude all transactions in indem nity contracts and at the same time in duce" other exchanges to follow our course. While these contracts at times serve a very economic function, never theless they are frequently used as a medium of entering the market on a large scale. We propose to give our of ficers proper Jurisdiction over the ac tivities of our members. BAX OX EMPLOYES "We also urge the prohibition of our members from accepting'' contracts for future-delivery from employe of mem bers of this or other exchanges (except ing where employes are members of the exchange), banks, trust or insurance companies, or any person occupying a position of trust or having fiduciary re lations. "These Suggestions, if carried out, will, in our judgment, entirely eradicate ne r speculation in the. trade." It was also recommended that private wire offices carrying Board of Trade quotations be not established In towns and villages of less than 25,000 popula tion. DIRECTORS BEFKND BOARD The board of directors, in defending iiiti Chicago Board of Trade from charges leveled against it,, asserted that the sensational deelmea in .grain prices several months back was not due to speculation on the board, but was "brought about by natural conditions." It was conceded that for a period of time, prior to July 1, 1920, trading on the exchange at times was in excess of that warranted by trade requirements. This activity, it was admitted, undoubt edly resulted in "what might be prop erly charged as over-speculation." But since July 1. 19-'0, it was con tended in the report to President Grif fin, "there has been little, if any, cause or complaint." STATE ATTACKS PLEA FROM BRUNO l Continued From rase One) luk owed him $100 when they reached Portland February 12. He went into details of what hap pened when they left the ship and came ashore to live.- Pawluk immediately sent a telegram to Dr. Danys asking for money to pay duty on silks, he said. Pawluk was continually in fear of ar rest, he testified. He insisted that the telegrams sent to Danys before the kil ling were all written by Pawluk and given to him to send. The telegrams sent after the killing had been given to him by pawluk the evening of the kill ing, he declared.

Tawluk found other things to. grow angry about, and Inasmuch as the sec ond cook was a husky fellow with a quick temper Bruno was in fear of him. Bruno 'claimed that Pawluk was living wildly after be left the ship. "When I was writing a letter to the Post-Intelligencer in Seattle regarding trade opportunities in Manchura and the Far East," said' Bruno, who appears to be a well educated man, "Pawluk sniffed the cocaine into his nose like this then he said to me, "Why are. you al ways writing these letters and having these capitalistic ideas? Come with me and I will show you the girls." " ROABHOUSE PARTT PROMISED Saturday evening, February 19, Bruno testified that he met Pawluk at the cafeteria. They had supper together and Pawluk said they would go to a roadhouse where . he would Introduce him- to the girls. .

There, Bruno said, Pawluk turned on him and pulled . revolver.' Pawluk swore at him in Russian, Bruno said, and threatened him. Bruno said he was in mortal ter ror and that he struck Pawluk with the Chinese walking stick in his hand. Th revolver fell out of Pawluk's grasp and Bruno picked it up off the ground, ac cording to the story. "What is this for?" Bruno claimed he asked. 1 VI didn't mean to kill you," Pawluk is said to have answered. Bruno claims he wat bo scared and excited that he did not know why he shot at Pawluk.

While on the train,' however, he. told Jhe deputies that the last time he saw Tawluk was in Portland on February -2, Washington's birthday.
