"The combine looks like a con-
crete WALL"
With these words County Com
missioner Reed told of his latest
attempt to break what he calls
a combination Of cement dealers
in the Northwest which in sim
gle year have boosted prices,
without just cause, from $1.1S
to $1.71, thus increasing by, 50
per cent the cost of road build
ing.
The boards of King and Pierce
county, and the city and port
district of Seattle attempted by
cooperation to break the price.
They asked for bids for, 100000
barrels-a tremendous order.
They received not one Single
bid!
But the three companies in the
Northwest-the Superior, Wash
ington and Olympic-each sent
individual notices to the various
municipalities that they woula
furnish the cement at 1896,
at their own factories.
Reed regards this as positive
proof of a combine.
He says he has one more card

OLYMPIA, June 10.-A
man has the same right to
his wife's affection - and
more so-as he has to his
property; and when thief
enters his home to steal-af-
fectiOns or property-mur-
der is justifiable.
This is to be the defense of A.
l.. Miller, formerly general sales
man of the Union Lumber Co. of
Union Mills near here, whose
trial for the murder of William
Chatter, president of the same
company. today drew one of the
largest crowds on record In Judge
Wright's court.
1t was brought out in cross-ex.
animation today Of one of the
states witnesses.
Judd Greenman. foreman nj
the mill. testified that he ran to
the scene of the murder Just after
the shooting. Miller was trying
to reload his revolver, and fight
ing off Mrs. Miller, who clung to
him.
State Soon to Finish.
What in the world have you
done?" demanded Greenman.
You'd better keep out OF
this" replied Miller.
MY God, remember the pun
ishment-your family-the peni'
tentiary." exclaimed the mil
foreman, Mortified as he saw
Chatten's body on the ground.
I'm thinking only of the mar
who ruined my home,' exclaimed
Miller.
The states testimony today
was all from persons who had
hurried to the scene of the crime
after the shooting. Because OF
the defense's admission that the
shooting and killing occurred, II
is believed that the states case
will be completed this afternoon
Woman to Tell Story.
Addressing the jury, consisting
of II married men and one mar
ried woman, Attorney Thomas
Vance, yesterday, in the presence
of Mrs. Miller and her three chill
dren, eloquently outlined the
statement of defense-a defense
which depends for its success on

WASHINGTON, ID. c., jane 10.
President Wilson will rest hia
case, both as to his conduct to-
ward the kaiser and toward SeI-
rotary Bryan, on the American re-
jcinder which was delivered 10
Berlin this afternoon.
He believes that his latest note,
firm in tone as it is, will justify
the position he has taken that the
rights of Americans to travel on
the seas must be maintained and
respected.
Consequently, he has determin-
ed that he will give out no sep
arate statement as reply to the
position which Secretary Bryan
gave yesterday afternoon.
It is understood, however, that
the president decided to take the
firm stand he did not so much
because of the particular Ameri-
can citizens who were slain
aboard the Lusitania but more
because of the general menace to
American rights on the sea which
the manner Of the attack sus-
gested.

No." she said then, L cannot
live without baby. Let me take
her. You take the older chill
dren, and maybe the parting will
later restore the affection which
] should have for you, and then
] will return
Members of the Jury, this re-
quest for separation was Just
what Chatter had advised her to
make. He offered to get a d.
vorce from his own wife in the
east, II, upon separating from her
husband, Mrs. Miller would find
she cared more for him than for
Mr.. Miller.
Wanted to Move. !
Miller searched his soul for
any reason In his own conduct for
this strange change In his wife.
Mrs. Miller vehemently assured
him he wasn't to blame, that her
own nature changed. The thing
preyed on his mind. He began
to fear that his wife had become
affected mentally. And he sug-
gested a change Of environment.
He wanted to resign May / ana
to move elsewhere-into some
city-away from the lonesome-
ness of the small lumber town.
She begged him not to.
ION the evening of May 2 he
left to go to Seattle. The thought
was still in his mind to move.
So at the next station he got off,
determined that change of
scene was vitality necessary for
the happiness of his wife and
children.
Then-the Tragedy.
HE walked back, and as I'd
neared his home, he saw some
one enter the back door OF his
cottage. He could see his wife
step out to the porch. The two
figures disappeared into the
house. The light in the kitchen
went out.
He rushed to the back door.
II was locked. He rushed to the
front door. 1t was locked. He
didn't know who was in the
house. And when the man left,
Miller yielded to the passion
which seized him, and shot him
his friend and patron
Prosecutor Objects.
Prosecuting Attorney George
Yantis objected to Vance's state
ment, declaring that, even IL all
was true as outlined, II was loe
a defense to first degree murder.
The court 0verruIed the objea-
ton.
The witnesses thus far called by
the state established the fact that
Chatter was shot down on May 2
In the front yard of the Miller
home. The state will probably
conclude its testimony this aft
ernoon.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June IL.
How soon William Jennings
Bryan, private citizen, intends to
begin his countrywide stumping
tour to advocate further the dip
lomatic steps in the Lusitania in
cident which he believed would
lead to peace, was the leading
question of political interest in
the country today.
In statement of yesterday
afternoon, Bryan made it clear
that he considered it his duty tc
acquaint the public directly with
the issues on which he and Presi-
dent Wilson FLASHED.
All today and yesterday, the
ex-secretary received hundreds of
congratulatory kilograms from
friends and admirers.
Bryan's stand, to which he
could not convert Wilson, was
that the United States should
submit the Lusitania question to
arbitration, meanwhile forbiddine
the shipment of passengers and
munitions on the same vessel
and warning American citizens
of the danger of taking. passage
even on neutral craft, let alone
those of nations at war.

PARDONABLE
SIN, is PLEA
OF HUSBAND

Mrs. Miller's laying bare her own
soul. And she is prepared to do
1t. She will take the staud--to
save her husband whatever the
| cost.
Heavily yelled, Mrs. Miller, a
striking beauty, insured herself
against any visible signs of emo
tion as her husbands lawyer
poured into the ears of the jury
the intimate story of her domes-
tic affairs.
Not so with her children. The
oldest, a girl of 10, feeling her
self unequal to the ordeal, left
the room, and her boy, IL, strug-
gled to restrain the tears but
failed.
Miller InscrutabIe.
The third child is a baby Of 2.
She sat on a small stool near her
| father whispering to him, awed
somewhat by the strange sur
roundings but playful neverthe-
less. Miller, as during the three
days of examination of jurors, re-
manned inscrutable.
The Millers married young.
They lived in the middle west UNI
til four years ago. Miller held a
responsible position with the
Chatter brothers, lumbermen, In
the east, and when the latter
acquired the Union Lumber co.
near Olympia he was persuaded
to come west.
Charges Seduction.
| William Chatter, the presi-
dent of the company, the employ
err of Miller, who posed as his
friend and his patron" said
Vance, was an older man, but
he was a man of splendid
physique, good education, inde-
pendent means.
For more than Is years, the
married life of Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller was happier than falls to
the lot of most mortals. But dur
ing the last year, Chatter DELHI
erately and Intentionally adopted
a course of action, unknown to
Miller, to bring about the seduc-
ton of Mrs. Miller and the de-
struction of his home.
Chatter Indignant.
"Rumors of these things got to
Miller and he took the steps a
sane, normal personal would take,
who trusted his wife and had
faith in his friend and patron.
He told Chatter himself about the
rumors and gossip.
81 know there is nothing in
them,' he said to Chatten, but I
want your assurance to that ef-
! feet
"Chatten was indignant that
Miller should even question his
friend
Asks Divorce.
"But this did not end the mat
ter. Chatten, as Miller's EN-
ployer, had control of his move
ments. He could send him 20
Tacoma, and to Seattle, and to
Grays Harbor, as he felt like.
Relations between Miller and
his wife grew strained. Miller
was at loss to understand why.
He asked her about it, She would
not admit 1t to herself. But Chat
tens insidious influence had left
its mark.
Then one day, almost choking
with agitation, she asked her hus-
band to get divorce. She could
urge no reason. She begged for
a separation, at least. This was
early last March.
We have family Miller
urged, what will become of the
children
Suggested by Chatter.
Mrs. Miller wept bitterly.
