POLAND SUFFERS
 FROM PRESENT WAR
MANY PERSONS ARE OUT OF WORK AT WARSAW BECAUSE THE SIBERIAN MARKET IS CUT OFF.

St. Petersburg, November 26.-The As- soeiated Press has received the following letter from warsaw regarding the situa- ton in Poland
 economically Poland is suffering witA the rest of Russia on account Of the war. Poland had a large market in sl- beria. but this has almost been entirely cut off on account of the lack of facilities for transportation. Between 25OOO and 3o GOO persons are out of work in War saw. hut the government is trying to give relief Over 40O0 have been given employment at making clothes and boots for the soldiers. Two bad harvests in succession add to the distress. Socialism seems to be making headway only in few industrial centers like Warsaw ana Lodiz. Although there is unrest among the peasantry, they are untouched by the socialistc propaganda. The rlotins week ago was caused by combination of socialism and want, accentuated by conscription and the calling out of the reserves.
 "The rioters seized the moment when the people were emerging from the Church of All Saints to unfurl red flag, | but the demonstration seemed to be without definite purpose. The police were 1 taken unaware, and fired several rounds. l The workmen also were armed and used their weapons freely. Fifteen persons were killed and sixty wounded. 1 "Conscription proceeds most unhappily. though with less difficulty than during l the Turkish war"

JUROR IS ILL IN
 PATTERSON CASE
EDWARD DREssLER SUFFERS A STROKE OF APoPLExY AND AS RESULT THE PROCEEDINGS ARE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY.

New York, November 26.-The serious illness of Edward Dressler, one of the jurors which was reported at the open ing of court today may neeessitate new trial in the ease of Nan Patterson, eharg- ed with the murder of Caesar Young. An affidavit from the sick jurors physician presented to Justice Davis said that the patient had suffered a stroke of appo- plexy and that his condition is serious
 As this was the third attack, 1t was expected that Dressler might not be able to resume his duties and that the work done during the past two weeks would be set at naught. Miss Patterson was in court when the adjournment was ab- nouneed. She expressed keen disappoint- terruption in the progress of the trial. 1 suppose this will mean a new trial" she said as she was being led back to her cell at the tomhs q am sorry the juror is i'll both for his own sake and for mine. I was sure the jury would acquit me. If there must be q new trial, I hope it will come at once"
 Everything was in readiness for the be- ginning of the session when word reached Justice Davis that Juror Dressler was seriously ill As this is the third attack, and as the patient is said to be in a criti- cal condition, it is possible that it may be necessary to discharge the present jury and order a new trial In ordering the ad- journment Justice Davis made public the affidavit submitted by Juror Dressler's It was as follows: During the past twenty-four hours Mr. Dressler suf- fered an attack of hemiphletia from cere- bral hemorrhage. The duration of the at- tack is uncertain, and as a result of it MT. Dressler is wholly ineapacitated and has lost the power of muscular co-ordna- ts.,-

Effect on PoIicyholders

The way in which the 80 per cent eo-in- surance clause affects the policy holder who carries less insurance than 80 per cent of his value Is made clear in the following circular.
 The New York standard 30 per cent CO., insurance Cor ayerage) clause reads as follows:
 This company shall not be liable for greater proportion of any loss or damage to the property described herein than the sum hereby insured bears to so percentum I(S0 per cent of the actual cash value of said property at the time such loss shall happen.
 In case of claim for loss on the prop erty described herein not exceeding per cent of the maximum amount named in the policies written thereon and in force at the time such loss shall happen, no special inventory or appraisement of the undamaged property shall be required.
 If the insurance under this policy be divided into two or more items, these l clauses shall apply to each item sepa- rately.
 In the event of insurer having insurance | in force to an amount equal to or exceed ing 80 per cent of the actual cash value of his property. the co-lnsurance clause has no bearing whatever upon an adjust ment any more than if 1t was not con- tained in the policy. If on the other hand the insurance falls below 80 per cent of the property value. and partial loss is sustained, the clause becomes operative | Uhough in case of total loss it would have no effect). Following is an example of illustra ting the working of this clause in case of partial loss: Total cash value of property in-

Shall We Have a New Depot?

There has been current rumor tor some
time that our thriving little city is to have
new and uptodate passenger depot
and all hope there is foundation for the
report as nothing is more sadly needed
than modern depot to replace the cx-
cuse for one which has been in use since
the town was founded. The present I'M
attractive depot which entirely blocks d
street, has a small waiting room, Office
freight house, and living apartments Tor
the agent, all under one roof. There is
nothing comfortable or inviting about the
place except first class agent and a
corps of capable and oDliging assistants
and the public mind and business intei e
es,s demand better facilities and more
consideration by the railroad company.
Mr.. L. f. Paskill has repeatedly recon-,
mended these necessary Improvements
to the proper officials OF the road and
many promises have heen forth .oming
yet we have the same little old dept -
which barring the town of Hillva,d is the
worst we have the displeasure of noticing.

Senator Hanna Dead.

Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna, United
States senator from Ohio, expired at the
residence in Washington city, Monday,
Feby. IS, 1924. after an extended illness
of two months finally drifting into ty-
phoid fever and ending in death. He
was born in the town of New Lisbon,
Sept. "a, 1887, and was therefore in his
67th year. He was strictly self made
man, preserving and successful and his
life of spirited energy is notable drama,
a romance of industrial progress and
sterling achievement No greater figure
ever stood in the arena of American pol
itics than he who today lies in state upon
the bier while a nation bows in sadness
and reverence for him toward whom the
sentiment of the people has been turning
for the past twelve months. Standing
within the shadow of an irreparable los
we pause for a moment as the sympa-
thetic chord encircles the world and
vaguely realize from the passing cbcum-
stance that all that is mortal must die.
Mr.. Hanna will be sincerely mourned by
admirers and friends and missed in the
councils of the nation. TIL. d ird.n he
so long carried was over heavy, the vigi-
liant work too wearing, the pace too
rapid. Relief came in the same old way.
In the annals of time the memory Of this
foremost citizen will be recalled with
pride by future generations.

Present Outlook Encouraging
(Walla Walla Cnion)

o. H. Greene, cashier of the Pioneer
State Bank at Rltzvllle, and also of the
Bank of Washtucna, at Washtucna, who
has been in Walla Walla the past two
days on visit to relatives here, returned
last night to his home in R,zville
adams county has had several years of
continuous prosperity" said Mr.. Greene
to reporter yesterday, land the presen,
outlook is encouraging for continuation
OF the good times that prevail in that sec.
ton. The short crop last year was a lit.
tie setback but the increased price at
which most of the wheat raisers marketed
their crop brought nearly as much money
into the county as an average crop at the
ordinary price for a number of years past
and the prosperity of the established far
mers of Adams county was not seriously
impaired. The newcomer was injured
to some extent, however, but if present
indications prove reliable this years
wheat crop in Adams county will be the
biggest in the history of the county and
the new settler who suffered by partial
failure last year will be put on his feet in
good shape"
Mr.. Greene is one of the pioneers OF
Adams county, his father, n. H. Greene,
now president of the Pioneer State Bank
having been in business at Ritzvllle be-
fore the county was organized.
