 Ten days ago all four of these women were arrested, and upon being taken to court were dismissed with out sentence on account of it's being their first offense, but were given warning that a repetition would not be overlooked The appearance of the band of militants today was a signal for the gathering of hostile crowd, which hooted and jeered the members and, but for the timely aid of the police, might have resulted in a small sized riot.

Associated Press)


 LONDON. Oct. 15.-One of the most violent artillery duels of the war is raging tonight in the Verdun sector between the French and Ger man big guns. It is as intense, aC- cording to official reports, as that which preceded the famous battle of Verdun. Both sides are using enormous quantities of ammunition, and supply trains are rushing to this sector from every ayaila ble sup ply point.
 Reports from Saloniki state that the allies are harrassing the enemy in Macedonia, but that there is very little infantry activity at any point In the Ypres sector the artillery of both sides is active, and heavy rain storms continue to make it prac- tically impossible for the British to resume their offensive.

 WASHINGTON, D.

This will be done at the request of the department of justice, which to- day asked that the cases be set for hearing on December 10.
 It is believed that the request of the department may foreshadow the early call of another contingent ot mea for the national army, it being considered that the government wish es to have the cases disposed Of before another increment is called

MORRISON CASE
 IS DISMISSED

On June 9 the game warden found in the possession of George l.. Morrison five hind quarters of moose and seized the same, the complaint being based on Section 333 of game law, which states that dealers can sell game meat during the open season but must dispose of it within fifteen days after the close of the season, December 10. Morrison was fined $50 and costs and appealed the case. A few days ago Attorney A R. HeiHg. for Nor rison, moved for dismissal of the case on the ground that the com plaint did not state a crime, holding that, as long as Morrison did not sell after Dec. 25, the mere having in his possession did not state a crime. Judge BunnelI's decision sub stantially upholds this contention, as it maintains that the unsold resi- due of the stock may be kept on hand by the dealer. The game war den's contention was to the effect that congress intended to restrict the killing Of game and that it per mitted the sale of such only under the stipulation that the dealer must dispose of or, in other words, get rid of, all meat by December 25. As full notice of the time limitation was given the dealer, the warden claimed, no hardship was worked, as an ordinarily prudent man was thereby given sufficient warning against overstockng. As result of the law having been found to be the reverse of this contention, the game warden is of the belief that more restrictive regulations in regard to possession will be enacted by congress or by the secretary of agri- culture, who is empowered to take such action at his discretion.
 Had the court held it a crime to have this amount of meat in the possession of dealer, a number of local dealers and others would have been likewise affected, as most any one would be likely to have meat for his own use.

 SEATTLE, Wash, Oct l5.-The headless body of young girl was found in the brush on the outskirts of the city yesterday afternoon and taken to the city morgue The body was later identified as that of Ruth Demerrit, seventeen-year-o girl of Kirkland, suburb of Seattle.
 While the crime is one of the most brutal in local police history in years, it is different from the ma jority of those which have been perpetrated by an unknown assail- ant during the last few months, but the police officials think that it is the work of the same man. If this is the case, the outlook is hopeful for the apprehension of the fiend. Ruth Demerrit was last seen about a month ago, and all trace of her has been lost since that time. The man who escorted her to the dance is known, and the officials are now searching for him, and they state that it is possible that when he is found, the slugger who has been terrorizing Seattle women for so long will have been located,
