By As.oelat.a Prs,

Monte Sano, Wash, March 9.-Nu- merous witnesses were called today by the state in its effort to controvert tes- timony offered by the defense in the Centralia Armistice day murder trial here. J. P.

He said Eugene Barnett a defends 1t, told .him he was stand ing on the sidewalk in front of ho- tel at the beginning of the firing in which four American Legion members lost their lives. Defense testimony had been that Barnett was inside the hotel at that time and had remained there throughout the disorder.
 Jones testified also that Barnett, ex- blaming how the Armistice day parade of ex-service men came to be fired upon, said: ''When~the soldiers halted the twobblies' though they were go- ing to raid the hall and then the shoot ing started.'
 Charles Norman testified that he en- tered the lobby of the hotel almost i'm mediately after the firing began but did not see Barnett there. Frank A. Faus gave similar testimony.
 Five physicians testified that in their belief, Loren Roberts, a defendant for whom a plea of insanity has been en- tered, was sane at the time he signed an alleged confession and that he is sane now. One of them said Roberts attitude of mental weakness plainly was assumed.

SCANT NUMBER OF WEALTHY PEOPLE PAY
 STATE INCOME TAX

With just one more week in which citi- zens may make their returns to the state income tax commissioner before penal ties are applied, J. T. Munds, who is in charge of the work in Birmingham, mas decided to keep the office open until o'clock every evening. -
 Some time ago the city authorities placed at the disposal of the state income tax officials the municipal council cham Der on the second floor of the city hall, immediately opposite the elevator. There the work has been carried on for several weeks. Returns have been made by more than 5000 citizens so far, but 1t IS pc. Iieyed great number have not yet squared their accounts with the state
 The returning officers have been ne little surprised by the scant number or wealthy people who have appeared pc. fore them they believe these people ol large incomes and holdings are simply waiting until the last minute to confess their incomes. in order to save just una much interest on the money that event uallv the state will collect from them.
 The office will close March b, next Tuesday.

TRANSIT PRIVILEGE
 IS OBJECT SOUGHT
Civic Association to Make Energetic Efforts to Se-
 cure Valuable Privilege

Energetic efforts are to be made by the Civic Association to secure for Birming- ham the fabricating n-transit privilege on iron and steel products, according 10 the unanimous decision Of the board or directors at the regular meeting yester- day. The board acted upon the recom-
 mendations of the steel base committee which has accumulated an exhaustive He on this phase of the metal trade as It IS conducted in various sections of the Unit ed States.
 The committee had reported to the board of directors that if this valuable priVl- lege is given to the manufacturers of the
 Birmingham district not Cnly will 1t ln- crease the trade opportunities of the fap- ricators already located here, but that it will automatically invite much audl- tionaI capital to invest in this locality. This question has become very lnpor7 tant one, stated the committee, because of the apparent underproduction Of Va rious forms of rolled steel in the Birming- ham district which has compelled many of the consumers Cmanufacturers) to go to the Pittsburgh, Bethlehem, Buffalo and Chicago markets for their steel requlre- nlents.
 As explained by Chairman G. R. Marsh
 of the steel committee yesterday, many thousands of tons of steel are shipped from the Eastern Chicago and Ohio pro- duction centers to the Birmingham con sumers annually for fabrication, which material is destined to points in the south western and southeastern sections for ui- innate use. If Birmingham enjoyed tne privilege of stopping the material in tran- sit to be punched and sheared in local plants CT otherwise worked into flnlsneu products without substantially altering the form of the rolled steel, on a through freight rate from the point of origin 10 the point of destination beyond Birming- ham, instead of having to pay, as now the combination of freight rates rom point C. origin to Birmingham and rom Birmingham to the ultimate destination, there would be saving of several dollars 1 per ton on a great volume of steel toh- i mage fabricated in this district.
