Panama bonds for the purpose Of
buying and operating ships, and for

plant for the manufacture of some

NITRATE
EXPERT
ARRIVES

F. H. A. Wielgolashi, famous
engineer and nitrates expert of
Norway, arrived in Tacoma Thurs
day to direct the beginning of che
work at the plant of the Ameri-
can Nitrogen Products Co. at La
Grande.
Mr.. Wielgolashi, who is the In
ventor of the furnaces which have
been installed in the American
Nitrogen Products Co. plant, is
native of Christiania, and a grad
uate of the Christiania Technical
and Engineering school. He is
"a years old.
Only One in U. S.
He will visit the company's
plant at LaGrande and direct the
operation of the furnace.
The nitrates plant at LaGrande,
which is the only one In America,
is still in the experimental stages.
The only other plants in ex-
istence are in Norway. Improved
machinery, designed to produce
twice as much nitrogen products
from the same electric power as
the Norwegian machinery, has
been installed. The plant is using
$500 volts of electricity.
A tract adjoining has been pur-
chased from John l.. McMurray,
former prosecuting attorney, and
the new company plans, its Off
GERS say, to erect $4,000 plant.
May Lead to Big Plant.
The nitrogen products, which
are reduced to liquid form for
purposes of transportation, are
used largely as fertilizer and for
the manufacture of gunpowder.
II the experiments now in prog
ress at LaGrande have the ex-
pected results, the company con-
templates the purchase of a n.y.
dro-electric power site in this vi
cinity, and will erect plant cost
ing millions, according to infor-
nation given Electric Supt. Llew-
ellyn Evans of the Tacoma system.

WASHINGTON, d. O., Dec.
14.-America's first step to-
ward carrying out the wishes
Of Germany and the central
powers, as their diplomatic
representatives in entente al
lied capital, was taken today.
Within a few hours after re-
ceipt Of the official text of the
Teuton peace proposals, which
was almost identical with the text
carried in press dispatches, Sec
rotary Lansing at the presidents

The German communication to
her enemies was sent without any
suggestions or comment by the

This action completely fulfilled

He says freezone is an ether
compound which dries immedi-

skin. A quarter of an ounce of
freezone will cost very little at

to remove every hard or soft corn

LONDON, Dec. 14.-The eau
ton watch out; take care, -
sounded by Premier BRAND In his
address to the French chamber OF
deputies, will also be England'0
guidance in scrutinizing the Ger
man peace proposals.
After the first shock Of the
news of Germany's peace plan and
the first and instantaneous decis-
ion to reject 1t, there came today,
with strengthening Of this de-
termination not to make the
peace Germany Graves. the belief
that England and her allies ougnt
closely to examine the circum-
stances of the Teutonic move.
Press and public alike were
more than ever convinced today
that some German trick was Re
Ind the proffer."
Most apparent N the German
peace offer Is the attempt TO gain
the sympathy nf neutrals. An
attempt to create dissension
among the entente allies is believ-
ed to be one consideration of the
note and the chancellor's speech.
Lastly, the British public be-
Iieves the German government
desired to make a play" to the
German people to support the Oft
repeated cry that Germany is
merely defending herself against
enemies who forced war upon
her.
England believes there is every
indication of popular unrest IN
Germany due to shortage OF food
and the staggering losses of men
and material which she has under
gone since 1914.

Later, he said. he went to town
and to Tilenda's place. and feel
ing sick, got drink of whisky.
Pete Stefanovich drank with him.
Il says L got all kind of trou-
BILE between Mrs. Tumchuck and
my wife," he went on, "'and
she promise to kill herself with a
butcher knife right before my
eyes, Tilenda says, Don't you
scare, she no kill herself"
Finds Wife Dead
Pierwsza wiped his eyes, but his
voice was steady.
From Tilenda's he went to the
postoffice, he said. and then
home. He went first to the sum-
mer kitchen where they had eat
en- supper, to get his coat. and his
alarm clock, and then went into
the house.
II open the kitchen door," he
said, "and / have the clock and
the key in my hand, and some
thing / see under my foot, and l
see a knife on the floor and l
pick 1t up and put it on the table,
and l turn and see everything
my wife behind the stove and
blood all over, and l touch my
wife and her face is all bloody,
and I'm scared.
Testimony mistaken

and l go to the Mike Miller house
and told him come and help me,
my wife l find her dead behind

He detailed his movements
from that time on closely.
"AND AFTER A WHILE
THEY GOT ME- IN JAIL" he
finished.

his attorney, at the close of his
direct testimony, II want to ask
you one question
"Did you kill your wife?"
Pierwsza gripped the arms
of his chair and half rose.
mo, SIR!" he almost
shouted.
No essential of Pierwsza's story
was shaken by cross-examination
He told of having consulted a
doctor about his wife, and secur-
ed some medicine for her which
she refused to take, saying she
was afraid he and the doctor
would poison her.
Explains Blood Spot.
He admitted having showed his
wife against the wall in one OF
their quarrels, but denied having
ever struck her.
Much of the cross-examination
was directed to getting Pierwsza
to state the exact time at which
he sat down to the table, rose,
went to town, returned, etc.
Losing patience at these repeat
ed questions, he finally exploded,
by gosh, / no lookin' at my
watch all the time!"
He testified that he thought he
probably got the blood which was
found on his suspenders and un-
derwear from a cut on his filger
some days before, though he was
not sure.
One Doctor Disagroes.
Kuzma Kushera told of Mrs.
Pierwsza's having implied that
she would kill herself rather than
let her husband divorce her.
The testimony of DR.. George T.
Shafer was directly opposed TO
that Of other physicians examine
earlier in the case.
Shafer gave 1t as his opinion
that Mrs. Pierwsza could have
walked around behind the stove
before falling, after the shot was
fired.

he said. "The right temple is a
