MAINS FATE WILL Be
DECIDED BY NIGHT
Prosecutions Opening Argu.
nlent COmpIeted---Acquittal
Seems Certainty

Chehalis, Wash, Mar. 9.Before today
passes Oscar r. Main, on trial here for
the murder of Fred Swayne, Napavine
merchant, probably will know his fate.
1t will be in the hands Of the jury
this afternoon. When court opened to-
day Judge Reynolds gave his instuc-
tions to the jury and then arguments
of counsel were started. Those who
have been constant attendants at the
trial believe it viii not take the jury
long to decide the guilt or innocence
of Main.
The Judge in making his charge, inn
pressed upon the jury the Importance
of character evidence; the eonsidera-
tion that must be given to a motive;
the importance of an alibi and the fact
that absolute moral belief in the guilt
of the accused must be established be-
fore a verdict Of guilty would be pos
sible.
Prosecuting Attorney Herman Allen
made the address to the jury for the
state He prefaced his formal review
of the evidence by saying that the
state is seeking no victim in this case ;
does not want to convict an innocent
man, nor bring about an injustice.
He made a strong attack upon the
alibi by the defense, asserting that
the statement of time was inaccurate
and based upon estimates, He declared
that the testimony of Robert Hodge
the only witness who gave direct evi-
dence of having seen Main enter the
Swayne store, was worthy Of credenee
and urgd the jury to accept it.
As Allen described the bloody de-
tails of the crime, several of the inr-
ors rested their gaze on the accused
man, who sat like statue as the pros
eeutor reviewed ithe testimony that
had been given

A complaint was filed today before
the public service commission by the
Portland Traffic and Transportation
company and the Oregon Portland Ce-
ment company against the Oregon Elec-
tric, Southern Pacific, and other rail
road companies operating in the state,
asking that joint rate be made on
cement to Portland, and asking thru
route between the company's cement
plant at Oswego, and Portland, via the
west side line of the Southern Pacific
with a connection at Jefferson street
with the Oregon Electric. 1t is charged
in the complaint that the present rates
work an injustice to the Portland COM
pany in favor of cement companies from
other states. An order was also issued
by the commission suspending opera
tion of the proposed increase in the
rate for weighing cars until June 9TH,
when hearing will be had on the mat
ter.

 HORRORS OF WAR

had been told to maintain their strong point positions until death, and in most cases they followed orders.
 The dead were in the distorted posi- tions that indicated how the end had come to them. Those killed in ma chine-gun pits were smashed to bits, the effect of hand grenades and bombs which American advance guards had tossed in among them after working round their Hanks and getting in be- hind them.
 Occasionally one saw German snip CTS or machine gunners sprawled flat on the ground at the foot of a tree after they had been shot out of their eamouflaged positions among its foli- age. The most sickening sights were where bodies of the enemy had at tempted to make stands in ditches or beside sunken roads and had been trapped by American enfilade machine gun fire. The deadly automatic rifles had ripped through whole lines of Germans, and investigation frequently showed that every mans body was pierced by seven or eight bullets and that frequently the same bullet passed

through three or Tour men. These corpses looked like heaps of rags or discarded uniforms and equipment. so closely did they overlap one another.
 No Trace of Nervousness.
 But. despite all, the Americans marched forward, stopped three or four times a day for meals, and then made camp. and slept at night amid the horrible surroundings without ever doing more than showing q surprising preliminary interest in the matter. If they saw a corpse in khaki they looked 1t over closely to see if they knew who it was, Only occasionally did they have time to inter it; that was left to the burying parties that followed them up. As they walked through woods and fields to get water or supplies, they implanted rifles, bayonets down, in the ground to mark the spot of every dead American they discovered.
 But there was no trace of nervous ness and no evidence of any of the men worrying or breeding over the fate of their fallen comrades. The corpses were entirely impersonal tt them and never rattled even the new est recruit
 The doughboys showed no back wardness about appropriating Lugel automatic pistols, the most prizet souvenir to be had, from dead Boches nor did they hesitate to pluck off well camoufaged helmets from the pates O Hun cadavers.

With the American Armies.-Greater laurels daily are being won by the French light tanks which are cooper ating with the American forces in pushing the Germans back toward the Rhine.
 Among the many individual feats of the tanks and their drivers which have come to light, one of the most interest ing Is that of Brigadier Cellier who has been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor for his work in light tank which enabled 15 American soldiers to capture TOO Germans.
 Several hundred of these tanks led the counter-offensiye from the Nillers- Cotterets forest in July, which marked what appears to have been the turning point of the war. They broke through the enemy's lines, destroying his ma chine guns, overcoming strong centers of resistance and spreading panic and decentralization in the German ranks.

HARD DAYS FOR THE CROOKS
New Draft Law Makes 1t Easy to
 Hunt Down Criminals.

Cleveland-It's getting harder every day for an honest crook to get by. Po- lice here are not satisfied to hunt crooks in the regular way, but are go- ing cut of their line to look them up, according to the plaints of the under world. It isn't enough to make them give up their easy life, earned at the expense of the city, to register and go to war, but now the local police are go- ing to get lot more of them by means of registration cards for the draft.
 Many of the robbers and other crim- inals have escaped detection through series of aliases, but with their reg istration under the eighteen to forty five call they had to make known their right names, and police assert that it will be ''easy picking now to gather in a number of men who have been wanted for some time.

SERVANT LACK AIDS HOTELS
Scarcity of Help in Homes Sending Families to New York
 Hostelries.

New York.-Although the fuel prob- lem which developed in New York homes last year is to great extent re- sponsible for the unprecedented busi- ness of the apartment hotels this fall, there have been new developments which increase the influx of apartment hotel dwellers throughout the city. The greatest individual reason is the serv- ant problem.
 Persons who have had servant staffs for years without change have been known to lose as many as three in a single week lately because of unprece dented demand for experienced help and the prices offered for it.
 The apartment hotel habit is easily formed, and with the scarcity of fuel scarcity of help, scarcity of suitable apartments and scarcity of vans to ac- complish large movings the fact that there is hardly an apartment hotel va cancy left in New York is not especial ly remarkable.
