FORBES HAD
CITY JOB, BUT
HAS NO MORE

John Forbes, ex-captain of po-
lice, is not employed at the, Mis-
qually municipal plant as an oil
er, despite reports to the contrary.
In fact, Capt. Forbes has no
municipal job at all.
Some time ago Forbes at
tempted to get city job at La
Grande. Commissioner Drake
told him that he could have the
job If Commissioner Mills, against
whom Forbes made sensational
charges after being released as
police captain, was willing.
Mills said that he had no in
tention of preventing Forbes
from getting the job, so Forbes
was appointed.
The former police captain went
to La Grande last week to take
up his new duties. And he came
right back again on the next
train.
Instead of finding that an oiler
merely oils the dynamos and wa
ter-wheels, Forbes found that he
would be called upon to wash
windows 100 feet up the wall of
the plant, act as assistant oper-
ator, sweep out the plant, and do
a general flunky's work.

KING COUNTY TO TRY
MIL T0MITE FOR ARSON

John HOD1nS, an alleged IRE
bug, who is said to have made
many attempts to burn down the
home of a neighbor, Edward
Duffy of Milton. today was taken
from the Pierce county to the
King county jail, and charged
with arson in the first degree.
He was captured late Saturday
night by posse in the very act,
apparently, of setting fire to
Duffy's house. He had laid a
pile of wood and shavings along
side the building, poured kero-
sene on it, and lit the mass when
the deputies stepped out of their
place of hiding.
They ordered him to halt, but
instead he ran. A mile away two
of the deputies caught him, but
not until he had drawn q long
knife and they had been CON-

that It must have been a largs
craft to cruise 500 miles from
the home base.

GREECE IS DECIDING
TODAY WHETHER TO
PARTICIPATE in WAR

side by side during the last two
Balkan wars in doubling the ter
ritory of Greece--the men who
put Greece back ON the map" as
II is popularity phrased in all
Greece-are today submitting to
the suffrage of the Greeks their
now divergent ideas as to the
future policy Of the country.
Venixelos, who until few
years ago an unknown deputy
from the island of Crete but now
admittedly the greatest states
man modern Greece has produc-
ed, is standing out openly on the
policy that Greece should cast
her fortune with the Triple En-
tente.
BY entering the present war
and participating in both the
naval and military campaign
against Constantinople, Greece is
assured of again redoubling her
territory and thus becoming not
only the leading power in the
Balkans but one of the import
ant powers of Europe. Venice
los declares II is an opportunity
that If missed will never, come
again.
Against this action, at least at
the present moment, King Con-
stantine is firmly opposed. The
elections today are a result of
the break between the king and
Premier Venizelos which occur
red two months ago and resulted
in the latter's fall from power.

Suddenly, the bow of the Lust
