I.W.W. DESPERADOES HIDING
NTHE CENTRALIA WOODS WITH
BODYoF WARDEN They KILLED
Second Posse With More Than Score Legion Members and
Veteran Woodsnen Start for Cabin With Avowed Inten-
ton Of Wipng Out Nest of Gunmen-No Communication
With Hiding Place and Posse Not Expected Before Noon

Centralia, Wash, Nov. 17.-All hope
of finding John Haney alive has been
abandoned, officials told the United
Press this morning. Haney was a mem
per of the posse which participated in
the pitched battle with reds at the cab
in in the deep timber 23 miles north
east of here Saturday afternoon.
1t has been definitely established by
returning members of the posse that
Haney was the man who was seen to
fall during the fight. A second posse
OF more than score OF legion members
and veteran woodsmen was sent to the
cabin yesterday. No report is expected
from the posse until early this after
noon when at least some of the posse
are scheduled to return. There Is no
means of communication by telephone
with the cabin or it's vicinity.
Five or six desperate radical gun men
are believed to be in the cabin which
has been entirely surrounded with ev-
cry avenue of possible escape cut off.
The country where the fight took
place Saturday is extremely rough and
thiCkly wooded, with trails SO difficult
to travel that not even a pack horse
an be taken to the spot. The location
is now described as being about eight
miles norteast of the head of Hanna
ford creek and Just across the line In
Thurston county. The nearest tele-
phone is IL miles from Centralia and
10 miles from the cabin.

LODGE MARsHALs FORCES

Republican Leader Lodge appeared
to have marshaled his forces for the
final fight. A tentative plan had been
agreed upon, it was stated, by which
the Republican majority will vote to
declare the treaty rejected in event
the Lodge resolution containing reser-
vations is defeated. This plan was
decided on by all factions Of the Re-
publicans today. Mild reservationists
and irreconcilibles are supposed to
have agreed on the following program:
When the Lodge resolution of rati-
fication Is defeated the mild reserva
tionists' will vote with Lodge to de-
clare the treaty rejected. Then a mo-
ton for reconsideration will be made
on which the so-called "Irreconcili-
bles" will vote TO reconsider and the
treaty can then be brought back for
fu rfher consideration.

WET CHRISTMAS
LOOMS UP NOW
AS POSSIBILITY
Believed President Will Issue
Peace Proclamation Before
End of Month and Lift War
Time Prohibition Ban.

Washington. Nov. lit is beginning
to look as though there might be a
wet Christmas. -
The peace issue, according to todays
indications, will be settled before the
end of November. That is by that time
the treaty either will have been adopted
or 1t will have been killed and congress
will pass a resolution declaring the
war over.
In either case, as the wet hopefuls
figured 1t today before the end of this
month, the way will be cleared for
President Wilson to issue his proc
lamation of peace and lift the war time
prohibition ban.
Millions of gallons of liquor, now
held in bonded warehouses. will prob
ably be thrown on the market practic-

Grain Men Would Have

AROUND. S1.25'
While Price Guaranteed by Government
for 1919 Crop is $2.26-Would Cost
Government Billion. and Quarter
Other Plans Suggested by Lever.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Grain dealers
yesterday before. the. house agri-
culture committee proposed that the gov
eminent pay the guaranteed price of 81
&c bushel for the 1919 wheat crop and
sell it to the consumer at the world mar
ket price, which they estimated would be
about $l25.
The witnesses generally believed this
plan would cost the government probably
81 ,250, 900, Geo. but said this loss was pref
arable to any attempt on the part of the
government TO maintain an artificial price.
Representative Lever af, South ygarolini,
uggested three other plans: That the
wheat movement be- entirely on the pre-
var basis; that the movement possibly be
'estricted by the government being au-
horned to sell or buy so as to prevent
manipulation and that the domestic move
nent be entirely on the pre-war basis
With the export movement dndeE federal
.ontrol.
The committee was holding hearings on
he, bill prepared by az VS. Glasgow,
counsel for the food administration, in
cooperation with the depart fafnt sof agri-
ulture. The dealers strongly opposed
ontinuation of the food administrator
rain corporation, as provided In the bill
They, however, urged continuation of the
orporation for buying and selling the
rop.
Chairman Lever also announced his dis
pproyal of the measure drawn, de-
laring that it granted broader powers
han those of the federal control act
l.. f. Gates of the Chicago board OF
rade declared the proposal was vicious, .
While grain dealers testified that Mr.. 'Glas-
ow had disregarded their suggestions and
'rafted a bill unnecessarily broad and
