~ WITH PROPERTY OWNERS

SEATTLE, May 1.-At the clos.
ing session of the Master Plumbers
Association in the Butler Hotel yes
terday afternoon, resolution was
adopted to the effect that on ac-
count of the chaos in which the lien
law of the state appears to be. the
members will do no more business
with contractors, but with the own
ers of property alone.
At the special session of the Leg
islature, a bill was passed which was
divided into six sections. The first
four were changes from the old law,
the fifth section repealed the remain
der of the old law and the sixth was
an emergency clause providing for
the measure to take effect at once.
Lieut.. and Acting Governor M. E.
Hay vetoed the first four section OF
the new law and approved the last
two. This, according to the decis-
ions of two courts, renders the law
void and there is no law protecting
the plumbers in their dealings with

KNIGHTS ARE COMING
Meeting of Knights of Pvthias in

At the meeting of the grand lodges
of the Knights of Pythias, the Py-
THAN Sisters, the Uniform Rank and
the D. o. X. K, which will be held
in Aberdeen the week beginning July
IL, will mean the largest gathering
from abroad ever held in Aberdeen
and will tax the hospitality of the
city to the limit.
The local knights are preparing
for three thousand visitors, for whose
entertainment their delegates agreed,
at Walla Walla last year when Alb
erdeen was selected, to raise 81 500
to defray this expense. This COM
mittee is now soliciting and is receiv-

pie from all parts of the state speak
ing good word for it.
Besides the delegates from the To-

Washington, nineteen companies of

Wishkah, H and I streets, which
will be planked over by the city for
their use. The tents are furnished
for the occasion by the state, the
authorities fully appreciating the
value of the fraternal military organ

Men Are Still Holding Out for In
crease Of So to 81
Week

SEATTLE, May 1.-The Brewers
Association of the Northwest have Of
fered the union men the Portland
scale which was signed last April,
but the men are holding out for an
increase of SO to 81 per week, which
is on an average of 50 higher than
any of the wage scales paid in Ore
gOn or Eastern Washington.
A mass meeting will be held this
afternoon at the Labor temple,
where the offers of the association
will be taken up and unless they are
accepted by the local unions gen.
eral strike will be considered
According to brewers, if the in
creased scale is granted, it will elm
mate the export trade completely
and so curtailing the market and
reduce output as to throw large
number of men out of employment.
The number of men who will be
affected by the strike is estimated at
700. The granting of the increase
would add over 100000 to the cost

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Machine Becomes Unmanagable and
Turns Turtle. Spilling Seven
Persons

Yesterday afternoon, the autOmO-
bile driven by E. w. Morningstar,
and in which Mr.. and Mrs. Willard
j. Bradley, Mrs. Edward Lowe, jr.,
and babe, Mrs. Gertie Spence and
Shirley Gillies were riding, turned
turtle over the bank at the turn of
Terrace avenue, near where the
stairs leading to the high school
starts from the avenue, all escaping
injury except Mr.. Bradley, who had
three ribs broken.
The auto was one used by Mr..
Morningstar for hire, and he is con-
sdered one of the most careful driv-
ers in the city. The avenue, where
the accident occurred, is not only
very steep, but the curve at that
point is quite sharp, and as the auto
was turning the corner the engine
choked, stopping the machine. The
driver threw the gear out of the
clutch and applied the brake, but 1t
seemed impossible to hold the car,
and in less time than it takes to tell
it, the occupants found themselves
under the car and at the bottom of
the bank below the avenue, which
is not very deep at that point. When
all were extricated, the driver still
had his cigar in his mouth, Mrs
Lowe was holding her baby out at
arms length and the others, except
Mr.. Bradley, who was struck by the
frame of the seat, shaking the dust
from their clothes, and asking how
did it happen. Shirley Gillies is a
cripple, and how he escaped injury
is a surprise to all.
Mr.. Bradley was taken to the Abb
erdeen General hospital, and Is rest
ing nllita nicely today.

TOCALL GRAND JURY
DEMAND FOR LEGAL INVESTIGA.
TIONS BECOMING GENERAL.
peO2I Are Wondering Why ChehaliS
County Is Denied Regular Sessions
of a Grand jury, When Such Are
Clearly Provided for by the State
Law.

Probably the most serious question
the citizens of Chehalis county are
now asking themselves is, will the
powerful forces opposing the calling
OF a grand jury-through fear of
possible indictment-be successful?
The answer is not so clear in view
of the fact that every effort to have
a grand jury called in the past twen-
ty years has failed The alleged rea-
son for it's denial in the past is said
to have been the expense, albeit, our
county authorities have not spared
other less needed expenses during
that time, a fact that is causing a
general desire to arrive at the real
cause behind course of action that
nullifies a state law so far as its Op-
GRAFTON in Chehalis county is con-
cerned.
Nearly a year ago, when crime
and criminal rumors were more
rife in Aberdeen than at present,
Mayor Benn suggested the necessity
for grand jury to Judge Sheeks,
who said it would be called at any
time upon the application of the
county attorney. The county attor-
ney announced his intention to so
act not long after, and almost at
once an agitation was noticeable in
certain quarters, and after all those
months no grand jury is yet called,
although an uncOnfirmed rumOr is
afloat to the effect that one is to
be called Immediately after the Gohl
trial.
For advocating the early calling
of grand jury, the Herald has been
cOntemptuOusly referred to as a
muckraker in some quarters, but, as
1t usually came from bunch of
muckmakers, it caused no uneasi-
ness. This paper recalled that Sem
atOr Poison was called a muckraker
when he demanded an investigation
of the state capital crooks, and 1t
turned out later that the noise was
made by the muckmakers, who had
pretty nearly skinned the state.
Since the elections of four years
ago. this county has been filled with
rumors Of suspected illegal practices
in county offices, rumors of crooked
election returns; unlawful dealing
with the county funds unsavOry
stories over the new court house, and
in fact with nearly all the offices
in the court house, that, in justice
to the public and those accused
should have been run down long
ago and either proved or the accus-
ed publicly exonerated.
The law plainly provides for grand
juries, and experience teaches they
are excellent to deter crime, as we'll
as to punish it. With the knowl-
edge that grand jury sat at regu-
lar intervals, of not more than two
years, criminals of a certain class
would hesitate in embarking upon
illegal enterprises, such as have been
flourishing in this county. The mat
ter will be brought up to night in
the chamber of commerce, many
members believing that as Aberdeen
constitutes large portion Of the
population of Chehalis county, 1t
should not hesitate to take the lead
in expressing the desire for such a
jury Petitions will be circulated
throughout the county later in the
month, but in time for having the
drawing by the 18th, so the jury
can be called for June.

Counsel for the defense, J. A.
Hutcheson, of MontesanO, and A. e.
Cross. of Aberdeen. who were ap-
pointed by the court. have announce
ed their readiness for trial, but are
reticent as to the line of defense to
be adopted. 1t is generally believed
that the failure to find the body of
John Hoffman will be seized upon
by the defense to dispute the con-
fession of Klingenberg and advance
the theory that Hadberg was killed
by Hoffman and Klingenberg.
The prosecution will be conducted
by County Attorney w. e. Camp
bell, assisted by E. e. Boner, who,
like the defense, have carefully
guarded the evidence that has been
gathered by the sheriffs office, the
police and secret service men since
the arrest of Gohl, but who do not
hesitate to say they have ample evil
dence to convict Gohl of the crimes
alleged, and of many more that have
been unearthed during the rigid in
vestigatiOn of his actions that has
been made.
The record of Gohl is against him.
For nearly five years he has been
in the criminal limelight in Aber-
deem, accused Of crimes all the way
from petty larceny to piracy and
murder to an extent that causes
amazement in a civilized community
and reflects no credit upon the peace
officers of this city and county dur
ing that time. Posing as a union
labor leader and controller of votes,
he apparently found favor in the
eyes of crooked politicians and office
seekers, too keen for office to be fin
icky about the means employed to
secure it, and through this bunch
he acted with apparent immunity
from all fear of violated laws.
He always went armed, with one
or more revolvers, fact that was
we'll known by the police, who, for
some mysterious reason. winked at
law violations that might result in
bloodshed at any time. A few years
ago, during a strike, GOhl, armed
with two revolvers, would board the
street cars coming from HOquiam
and search the passengers for fire.

cared to check the practice. He was
