So Called Labor Jury Satisfied So Far
With Proceedings in CentraIia
Murder Case at Mont

GRAYS HARBOR COURT HOUSE.
MONTESANO, Wash, Mar. 3.-That
the Centralia murder trial proceedings
have been conducted in fair and inn
partial manner is the opinion of Paul
Mohr, representing the Seattle Cen
trail Labor council, as one of the SO.
called labor jury, which is attending
the trial,
Although l haven't discussed the
case with the other members of the
labor jury" Mohr said today, "since
we shall 60 into session and draw
up verdict at the same time that the
jury is out, will say that everything
that has taken place in the court room
has seemed very fair to me.
"The outside influences, however,
such as bringing troops here. seem
designed to Great an effect which do
not consider fair"
Judge Wilson will rule today wheth-
er tho defense has made showing
regarding an alleged overt act on the
part of Warren Grimm, sufficient to
entitle them to introduce evidence TO
prove their contention that there was
a plot to- raid the l. w. w. hall at
Centralia.
The admissibility of this evidence
which was strenuously contested by
the prosecution is regarded as the
most important legal technicality yet
developed in the trial. "

WASHINGTON Mar. 3.-Eforts OF
the vets to inject prohibition into
the national campaign are crystalliz-
ing in such definite form that politi-
clans here today said they believed it
very likely the liquor fight would be
carried to the polls in November.
Clarification of the issue itself has
been marked in the last few days.
The fight to be made before at least
one of the conventions will in no
sense be directed against constitution
al prohibition as such, it was stated
here today by ''wets." 1t will be a
fight upon the issue of beer and light
wines-principally beer--as against
ioofnplete 'tdryness. 1t will not be al
effort TO restore the saloon. It will
be directed towards making 1T pos
sible for those who want beer and
wines to have them, under certain re-
strictions as to sale, etc.
:, When the first ''wet" voices were
raised. politicians in both parties here
SCORED at the idea OF making prohfol-
tion an issue They said ratification
of the eighteenth amendment killed
LIQUOR for long time to come. But
they have begun to change their ideas,
because OF recent events. A sum-
mary of wet" activities shows the eX-
tent and vigor of the campaign. These
activities include: .a#~
Pouring of petitions by the hun
dreds on members Of both houses for
modification of the dry laws. t

VIM. J. Bryan expects the issue TO
be made. He is OF course prepared
to fight tho Edwards forces and other

The republican convention is also
to be urged to insert beer plank.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Reesonstruc-
tion of railroads under private oper,
alton has been started, according to
statements made here today by conf
panies engaged in supplying railroads
with equipment.
All railroad supply houses were
reported from thirty to sixty days
behind on orders. Although no great
flood of orders was reported since
the government released control Of
the lines on Monday, there vas a
rapid increase in demand for supplies
during the last few weeks of federal
operation, in anticipation of return
OF the roads to private control.
Difficulty in procuring sufficient
'workmen and trouble in securing an
adequate supply of raw materials is
holding up manufacture of equip
ment, it was stated.
Equipment of most railroads was
"shot to pieces" during government
control, stated L. V. Egbert of the
Adams and Westlake company, large
dealers in railway supplies and
equipment.
During government control, sup
plies were taken or borrowed from
lines which had full storehouses and
were not returned or replaced =
Egbsrt said. "As soon as it was de-
termined that the lines should again
be operated by private interests,
steps were taken to rebuild the prop

gradual, but the start has already
been made. It may be a year or

understood that the population OF
the Turkish empire will be reduced
from approximately 30.000.000 to o.
