word having reached here that Major
General John F. Morrison had ord
ered the troops to move from Camp
Lewis this morning. Troops were
asked for by Herman Allen, county
attorney of Lewis 'county, who said
vague rumors had convinced him that,
the presence cf federal soldiers Would
prevent uny trouble. j
Montesnno Quiet I
TMontesuno is more quiet than it
has been since the trial started, but
Allen declares his uctlon in asking
for troops was dictated by the desire
to preserve the peace and insure a
fair trial, both for the state and de
t'ense. Only rumors of trouble bave
been heard, many of them vague,,
Allen says, but bo is of the tvp!nion
that the presence of tho troops would
help to quiet even these rumors. I
"We have reason to believe that
most of these rumors are idle and un
founded," Allen said last night. "At
tho same time no harm can be done
by taking the proper steps to antici
pate and forestall any possibility of
serious friction."
"The request for federal troops for
Montosano is very obviously a piece
of propaganda," declared tieorgo F.
Vanderveer, counsel for tho ten de
fendants today. Vundorveer said
there was no need for troops here
that there was no sign of trouble and
no possibility of trouble.
