COURT HOUSE, Montesano, Wash, Feb. 17.-With the states case few hours from completion, George E. Van. derveer, counsel for the eleven men on trial for the armistiee day murder at Centralia, announced today that when the prosecution rests, probably Wednesday evening, desperate effort will be made to win directed verdict for several of the accused l. W. ".
 While the formal meeting probably will be filed for all the defendants Vanderveer will center his fight for freedom on Elmer Smith, repureG at torney for the Centralia 1. W. w., charged as an accessory before the the murder of Lieut.. Warren O. Grimm Bert Faulkner and Mike Sheehan, both of whom, according to evidence thus far produced by the state, did not bear arms during the shooting of Novem- Der II. Faulkner and Sheehan, how ever, were placed by witnesses inside the 1. w. w. hall at the time of the tragedy. In the case of Elmer Smith the question of law will be whether the circumstantial evidence brought against him to the effect that he wis ited the l. w. w. hall shortly before the shooting, asked members if they were ready for raid and assisted them to do their duty" and wanted to know If they had enough men," is sufficient to hold him.
 At adjournment of court this even ing special Prosecutor w. H. Abel made the unexpected announcement that the state probably would close it's case tomorrow morning. Defense coun- sel advised Judge John M. Wilson that believing the states case would last all week, he had subpoenaed the wit nesses for next Tuesday, but probably could summon them by Thursday. The states abrupt announcement came af- ter day filled with the testimony of eye witnesses.

WASHINGTON. Feb. E.-Sena.or Poindexter of Washington, a candi- date for the Republican presidential nomination. told the national press club tonight that President Wilson's reported proposal to withdraw from European affairs on account of the Adriatic controversy was one of the best things the president ever had said. If the European powers only would force the plan to be carried out, declared the speaker, the Unit ed States might be spared serious consequences now threatening it be- cause of the peace settlement.
 The resignation of Secretary Lan- sing also was commented on at length by Senator Poindexter. who was the speaker of the evening at the clubs series of presidential nights"

Expert Says Margin Is Too Narrow to Absorb IA Per
 Cent Increase

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The pub recent 14 per cent increase in wages given coal miners, in testimony to- day by representatives of public util- iaies associations before the ,ItoaG strike settlement commission and the commerce subcommittee Investigating the fuel situation.
 H. Aylesworth, executive manager of the National Electric Light asso- citation, told the commission the pub lie had been led to believe that the wage increase would not be passed on to the consumers, but when the operators added the increase to the price charged the public utilities, it was inevitable that the advance should be reflected in rates. He declared that the utilities. under state or municipal regulation. were allowed so narrow margin of profit
 that they could not absorb the in crease.
 Chairman Robinson indicated the trend of the commissions efforts to solve the fuel problem by asking if utilities would be willing to store coal in the summer months, so that the miners would have steady em ployment. MT. Aylesworth replied that they would if the additional cost of double handling of coal was off set in the price and in lower freight rates during the good weather.

 "The court has ruled" said Judge Wilson.
 Mrs. o. B. Williams threw the court room into sudden excitement this af- ternoon when she told of an eXper1- ence after the shooting. She said she met a man in the alley back of the |. w. w. and the man fired with a revol- yer, the bullet passing through the sleeve of her coat.

 IF DIPLOMA T|C REPR|SALS
Denial of Story That Answer Has Been Softened by the Intervention of English Statesmen Is Made to the Con- tinental Members Publication of Terms of Note
 Is Left to Discretion of President

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The American embassy is engaged tonight in coding and forwarding to Washington the re- ply of the supreme council to Presi- dent Wilson's Adriatic note, which win be in the hands of the Washington government tomorrow. The council made 1t known in it's daily semi-offi- cial communication to the newspapers it does not propose to make public the correspondence, so that the question of whether the text of the notes will ident Wilson.
 England Astounded
 Since the main facts are public property, namely, that the president strongly objects to the solution of the Italian-Jugo-Slav problem by the ap- plication of the treaty of London thereto, and objects So strongly as to contemplate America's withdrawal from the Versailles compact as a pos sibility and that the council objects to the reopening of the question, the un- decided point is whether the argu- ments exchanged shall be published while the controversy is hot on the anvil.
 The statement from Washington, confirming the first reports that the president had intimated that rejection of his policy might be followed by dip lomatic reprisals, furnished another surprise to the politicians and the pub lie who with small but important circle which meets twice daily in Downing street and the advisers in the confidence of this group, expert enced the greater surprise because 1t came close on the heels of other Wash ington messages .intimating that only

Hitchcock Makes Desperate
 Attempt at Compromise On Article X

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-The peace treaty compromise negotiations got in to such a tangled state today that des- bite claims in some quarters that the lines on both sides were weakening, the treaty's best friends in the senate minimized the possibilities of agree ment.
 'It looks as though we might come out at the same hole we went in," said Senator Hitchcock, the Dem- ocratic leader, after another effort to obtain Republican aid in modifying the article ten reservation adopted at the last session of congress. He added that the Republicans apparently had rejected all compromise proposals on the subject and that he was certain the treaty never could be ratified un- less they did compromise.
 Forty Democrats had been pledged tonight for the alternate article ter reservations presented by Senator Hitchcock and he said he hoped ev entually to have the support of one ol two more. It would tase 49 votes tC make up the simple majority neces sary to substitute one of these reser vations for the Republican and to the seven or more Republican votes re quired for this operation 15 more would have to be added to insure fina ratification by two-thirds vote.
 The senate made no progress todd! toward a vote on the first of the pro posed notifications in the Republican reservations, the entire day being oc cupied by debate in other features o the treaty

Therefore. the ultimate in- efficiency that would arise from the deadening paralysis of bureaucracy has not yet had full opportunity for development. Already we can show that no government under pressure of ever-present political or sectional in- terests can properly conduct the risk of extension and improvement, or can be free from local pressure to conduct unwarranted services in industrial en- terprises."

 The presidents communication was not in the nature of a threat in the common sense of the terms, it was said. but merely statement of a sit uation in which the United States might find itself if asked to subscribe to agreements in which it had no hand in the making and to which it was op- posed.
