veer's motion for a dismissal of the cases was presented to the Court this afternoon, and at 3 p. m., was being argued before Judge Wilson. Vanderveer asked the Court to in- struct the jury to return a verdict of acquittal on the ground of in- sufficient evidence. Vanderveer told his associates that if Judge Wilson denies the motion, he will call wit nesses tomorrow who will testify that the soldiers rushed the Wob- bly, Hall before the shots were fired.
 MONTESANO, Wash, Feb 18- Washington States case against eleven l. w. W.'s charged with the murder of Lieutenant Warren o. Grimm and three other ex-soldiers at Centralia on the afternoon of November II, last year, during an Armistice Day parade, was wound up this morning.
 It was indicated that the defense will not be ready with its first wit. nesses until. tomorrow.
 It was learned today that George F. Vanderveer of Seattle, chief counsel for the defense, is to ask Judge John M. Wilson. presiding. for a directed verdict of dismissal of each case, particularly for the discharge of Elmer Smith. Bert Faulkner and Mike Sheehan. whom Vanderveer insists are not connect ed with the Centralia shootings.
 At various times during the trial, but particularly when he made his opening statement to the jury, Van derveer has held that Smith, Faulk- ner and Sheehan took no part in defending themselves from what he said was an "ex-soldier assault on the l. w. w. Hall in Centralia. ]"
 That Elmer Smith. Centralia at torney. and one of the eleven de- fendants, sacrificed his career to champion the cause of the workers, and that his present plight was due to that fact, was Vanderveer's con- tention in referring to Smith. who is charged with being accessory to the murder of Grimm.
 He did go to the hall that day and tell the boys that gen. eral assault was being talked of. wouldn't you have done it?" he said.
 vanderveer admitted that C.. O. Bland and John Lamb were station ed in the Arnold Hotel. and that they took weapons with them. but asserted no shots were fired from there. For Eugene Barnett, whom the prosecution claims fired from a window in the Avalon Hotel, Van deerveer claimed an alibi, saying he will be able to prove Barnett WIS not in the Avalon Hotel. and that he did not own the rifle found there. He made no mention of Lor- sn Roberts. the defendant who ii alleged to have confessed.
 Sheehan was not present at all he said. Faulkner. who was seized by the infuriated paraders after ths shooting. was an l. w. w. but wal not mixed up" in the shooting vanderveer confended.

Vile and Peoria respectively.
BY defeatfng the Boomers, the
only first division club to lose on
the day, the Islanders cut down
Moline's lead to an even two

ing distance OF the other clubs as
follows:
Cedar Rapids. 31s games.
Terre Haute, s games.
Peoria, 8 games.
Rockford, Sh games.
Evansville, IL games.

when the sleeves are shortened TO
