SMOKING OUT
PRO-GERMANS

Extra judicial punishment in
the form of pitiless publicity to
stamp out disloyalty and pro-Ger-
man agitation is the plan decided
on by the state council Of defense.
A code of instructions for carrying
out the plan, which has the ap-
proval of Gov. Lister and u. s.
Distric Attorney Allen, have been
sent out to the county officials.
County officials are instructed
to make investigations and inflict
publicity punishment on men and
women proved to be pro-German
or who have expressed pro-Ger-
man sentiments.
"Pro-Germans and others who
have been opposed to the U. S.
participating in the war will find
it advisable to keep their opin-
ions to themselves from now on"
says the state council.
THE overwhelming majority of
our citizens believe President Will
son is right and they will find 1t
hard to forget-when the war is
over-the names of those persona
who, in the midst of the conflict,
are unwilling to lend their moral
and financial support to help
shorten the struggle"

BEATS wife DOWN.
THEN KILLS SELF

Mrs. Taft, having completed ar
rangements to go to Tacoma to
work, went to her home accom-
panied by neighbor. After pack
ing two suitcases she started to
leave.
AS she went from the house,
her husband, who had been hiding.
attacked her. Coming up behind
her in his stocking feet, he rained
blows on her head and shoulders
with a hammer.
Then he went to the house and
locked the door. Neighbors who
had been attracted by the woman q
screams found him dead with his
throat cut.
Taft, age 40, was a veteran of
the Spanish-American war. He
served two terms in the Oregon
penitentiary. He came to Cheha-
lis from Portland last summer and
met his future wife, then Mrs. Max
Eastman. Four days after the
meeting they were married, altho
she was warned against marrying
him.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan.
2S.-An immediate house.
cleaning" by the federal
trade commission to check
further leaks" of important
information, is to be UNDER
taken.
One official, at least, is
already slated to go.
Letters just unearthed In pri-
vate files of Chicago meat pack
ers during the progress of the
commissions investigat show
packers in August, 1916, obtained
from secret files of the commits
sion copy of a complaint of Rep
resentative Doolittle, Kansas, urg-
ing a probe of the packing houses
r. C. McManus, special pack
er attorney, then in Washington,
wrote Henry Veeder, personal
secretary of ]. Ogden Armour:
Complaints filed with the
federal trade commission are
privileged and not available to
the public. However, herewith is
the Doolittle complaint"
Veeder, questioned by Special
Investigator Twombley when he
discovered this letter, is believed
to have named the official re-
sponsible for the leak. Careful
internal grooming of the entire
commission staff was expected to
discover Just how far 'slush
funds" may have seeped thru
into the personnel.
Hearings in the packing house
probe were to be continued early
today with further sensational de-
velopments in the congressional
lobby.
Additional evidence tending to
prove the existence of a gigantic
buying combine, including all of
the "big five" packers, will be
submitted by Francis j. Heney,
the commissions counsel. Private
correspondence, memoranda and
the records from the packers pri-
vate offices, are expected to dis
close how the packers pooled their
daily purchases and divided the
animals on a pre-arranged per-
centage basis.
