Centralian Let
Off With Fine

In the case of the United States
VS.. John Huges of Centralia,
charged with possession of explo-
sives without first procuring a IL
cense, Mr.. Hughes Monday entered
a plea of guilty in the u. S. court.
Judge Cushman imposed fine
of $275 including costs. Mr..
Hughes name heads the Contra
liza second Liberty bond subscrip-
ton with a cash subscription of
$4,000. He was also a subscrib-
er to the first loan and the U. S.
district attorney stated to the
court that his loyalty was unques-
toned and that the various con-
tributions were prior to trouble
arising incident to the alleged Of
tense.
His friends say that Mr.. Hughes,
in good faith, made an effort to
procure a license, but circum-
stances over which he had no con-
troll prevented him from obtain
ing ii in time. A license has since
been issued to him.
