ANOTHER ARREST MADE IN
ELMA BANK ROBBERY CASE
land, Charged With Being One
of Elma Bank Robbers

MONTESANO, Aug. 2O.-Souholoff
Aslandek was arrested Tuesday night
in Portland by Sheriff Sehelle Math-
ews, charged with being another of
the Bank of Elma robbers. Asian
dek is said to have been the man
outside the bank door-the one who
shot at Civil Engineer Rodney Max
well.
Mathews has been on the trail of
this man since July 20, or soon after
the trial and conviction of Hodoff,
Dobreff and Malsogow. At that time
the Burns agency turned over such
information as it had of the un-
caught robbers, and of their present
location. Aslandek at that time was
believed to be in Seattle. The sher-
ifs office got on his trail and two
or three times it was thought theX
had the man cornered. Mathews Went
to Portland two or three days ago
1t is said the information against
this man is as perfect as the ihforma
tion against the three already con
victed. The Burns people got the
original information, soon after the
robbery, which was March 20. If AS
landek is identified by MAXWELL. hi.
conviction will be almost certain. Th,
sheriff and his prisoner arrived las
night.

the Servian sympathizers breaking Off
from the organization after an up

was raised by the minority, who had
control of the chair through the pres.

County Board Completes Tax Rolls for 1914
After Night Session Reduces Tide
lands Fifteen Per Cent
MOST EQUITABLE ASSESSMENT YET MADE
With the Exception of TideIdnds, the Board Up
holds Assessor Wiley in Practically All
Changes Made in Rolls

MONTESANO, Aug. 20.-After hold
ing a night session last night, the
county board Of equalization COM
pleted it's labOrs at noon today and
adjourned sine die. The sessions last
night and today were occupied chiefly
with consideration of applications on
timber lands. Reductions asked last
night were from small holders of lands
sparsely timbered that appeared to
have merit. but the board refused to
overrule Assessor Wiley, in the mat
ter, they having no personal knowledge
of the lands.
This morning Eugene France, mayor
of Aberdeen, and the board, reached
an agreement concerning his disputed
timber holdings in the northern part
of the county that will probably avoid
a law suit.
Most Equitable Assessment Ever
A bunch of protests were handed the
board yesterday by the Grays Harbor
Commercial Co. and the National Box
& Lumber Co., which were passed over
to Assessor Wiley for review, and, on
his recommendation, were rejected.
Monday and Tuesday were occupied
mostly with the tideland values, the
city committees from Aberdeen and
Hoquiam sitting with the county board.
A feature ,fth~. tearings was when
Mayor FraNs eberdeen took the
floor and tsilss Sids land and 9th.
er values. In his remarks the mayor
was not very complimentary to the
Aberdeen committee, indeed, that com
mittee did not seem near so we'll post
ed as to tidelands in front of their
city as was the Hoquiam committee
in their bailiwick France asked that
all tidelands be reduced equally, about
10 or Is per cent. He said they seem
ed to be equitably assessed and that
the present assessor had succeeded in
making the most equitable assessment
ever made in the county. Still, he
thought that, conceding tideland values
equal with other classes of property,
the reduction ought to apply to the
other classes as well. The remarks
of Mayor France were appreciated by
the board, as their contention had been
all along that if any property was
equitably assessed, any reduction
granted it should apply to the other
classes.
The Aberdeen committee appeared
to have eyes only for certain tracts
of tidelands located in the heart of
the city, and some of the reasons ad-
vanced for reduction bordered on
the absurd. For instance, it was uged
that this tideland had no upland, but

this was exploded when the assessor.
showed that it's upland consisted Of
an improved street. Another reason
was that the owners, when purchasing
this land, never imagined it would be-
come so valuable. This committee
wanted the values placed where it was
in 1912. Deputy Assessor A. B. Will
son showed the absurdity of this sug-
gestion by producing figures of the
the valuations of 1912 and 1914.
Deputy Girard, at this juncture,
made a strong appeal to the board to
uphold the assessors figures, saying
that any other course would not only
work injustice but would invite liti-
cation. The two committees, from
Aberdeen and Hoquiam, then retired
to confer, with a view of so adjust
ing their demands that they would be
equitable in both cities. On their re-
turn, the Aberdeen committee moved
to make a flat reduction of $46,125 on
the two central Aberdeen tracts, and
the motion was lost.
After an animated discussion and the
defeat of motion to reduce all tide
lands in Aberdeen and Hoquiam 20
per cent, a resolution was adopted re-
ducing those valuations Is per cent

cure from the reduction granted, but
! the Aberdeen committee, after all its
efforts to favor those owners, failed
to see the point Wiley was driving at,
and all three voted enthusiastically for
the assessors motion. The motion
failed, however, the three commission
ers and Treasurer McGillicuddy voting
no.
Rolls Equitable as a Whole.
The board was relieved when it fl
nally adjourned at noon today and the
members expressed themselves well
pleased with the result of the sessions.
They recognized the utter impossible
ity of securing valuations on all nrong
erty that would be exact to a dollar,
but they also recognized that the as
SCISSORS office had done faithful work,
and that the valuations on the rolls
were the most equitable in the history
of Chehalis county. In fact, practical
ly no changes were made during the
entire session without the consent of

HOW We AVOIDED
MEXICAN WAR
Cabinet Favored Sending
Troops to Capital When
Gen. Caranza Baked
CARBAJAL SOUGHT AID
President Wilson, While Re-
sisting Pressure, Sent En-
issary to Gen. Villa

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10
Just how close the United States came
to being involved in war with Mex
leo as recently as a fortnight ago
was revealed today by some high Off
cials of the administration.
When Gen. Carranza abruptly re-
jected the overtures of the peace con-
voys sent by Provisional President
Carbajal and at the same time ignored
the diplomatic efforts of the Ameri-
can government to bring about a
peaceful entry of the constitutional
lists in Mexico City, drastic measures
were urged upon President Wilson.
Many members of the cabinet-it is
said a majority-argued in favor of
sending American troops from Vera
Cruz to the Mexican capital to pre-
vent the anarchy that was then ex-
pected to follow from the failure of
the Carbajal government and the con-
stitutionalists to reach an agreement.
Meant War With Carranza
President Wilson, however, firmly
resisted all pressure arguing that the
sending of American troops to Mex
leo City even on a mission of order
would probably mean war with the ap-
preaching constitutionalists.
A few days later actual overtures
came from the Carbajal government
in an indirect way to the effect that
if American troops would come to
preserve order they would not be
opposed, but assisted.
These assurances, according to Of.
ficial messages here, were given by
Minister Lujan of Carbajal's cabinet,
