HOME BURNS

The beautiful ranch home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Mitchell IA
miles north east of Roy was bur-
ned to the ground Wednesday
afternoon about $3.50. Mr.. Mitchell
had been doing her usual house
work when she noticed terrific
heat forming in the house and
she went to the stair door and
opened it to see where the heat
was coming from and the whole
up stairs was a mass of flames.
She tried to carry a few articles
in to the yard but the heat was
too great to do anything and the
few articles she had carried to
the yard were soon consumed as
the wind was blowing fiercely
during the fire.
Mr.. Mitchell was at the home of
his son Hugh Mitchell nearly
3 3miles away and didnot get there
till the house was in ashes, Anu
mber of the neighbors arrived
on the scene econ after the. fire
started, but were powerless to do
anything.
The exact cause of the fire is
not known but probably caught
from a spark from the chimney
as Mrs. Mitchell had a fire. III
the cook stove and Tanned by
the high wind of Wednesday,
was soon . blaze. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell not only lost their beau
tiful home but every piece Of fur
niture and all their bedding aud
clothing. They saved not a thing
but the clothes they had on their
backs. Mr.. Mitchell's loss will
probably amount to s 4,OO0 or
more dollars and he had only
$1,000 insurance on everything,

Declares Suffrage Amendment Is Not Valid

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Granting of woman suffrage lover the heads of the people" by the legislative act "cannot stand the tests in the courts that will inevitably ensue," is asserted in . statement here to- night by the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
 "These cases" the statement continues, "shouId ratification be obtained in time for women to vote this year, will not only hold up the election result as it did the hayes-Tilden conflict, but pos sibly necessitate second cleo ton. Republican and Democratic chairmen, working under the sui frage whip, are leading the eoun- try straight for political chaos"
 Miss Gary G. kilbreth, president, declared t".o suits would be insti- tuted to test the constitutionality of the Susan B, Anthony amend ment if it becomes operative be- fore the next presidential and state elections.

Poland Is Satisfied With Terms of Bolsheviki,

WARSAW, Poland, Feb. 14.-Pre- mier Skulski told representatives of the socialist and workingmen's parties who presented their peace views to him and General Pilsudski on Wednes- day that the government considered the latest soviet note in all serious ness and gave assurances that Po- lands peace intentions were sincere. He said if the bolsheviki showed the same sincerity peace might be soon expected, but he added Poland's an- swer would not be given before March, as the allies must be consulted on various questions.
 The representative insisted the government open negotiation with the soviet immediately. During the dis cussion the coal miners representa- tive threatened a general strike unless peace action was taken.

Senator Declares Blackest of Injustice Was Done

OFFICERS
 RETAINING RANK
Says Older Men With Good Records Are Put Aside
 For Favorites

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Attack- ing the policy of the general staff in demobiliZing officers as having re- suited in discrimination and favorit- ism affecting hundreds of officers, Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississ- ippi, told the senate today he hoped the facts he would present would in nuence Secretary Baker to direct a chaige in the policy of demotions to remedy the discriminations already inflicted upon hundreds of army off cers'
 Senator Harrison was speaking on his resolution directing the secretary to furnish a statement of the policy governing demotions.
 Senator Harrison directed his crit icisms particularly at reductions of officers to their pre-war rank.
 Many older officers of the service, Senator Harrison said, have recently been reduced, while young officers, their junior in service, retain high rank and high pay under the general staff policy.
 The prevalent belief among the of ficers of the army, he declared, was that "favoritism and incompetency" was displayed
 Neither brilliant service nor seni- ority were taken into consideration in reducing officers, Senator Harris on charged
 'The Washington clique retained their advanced rank,' said he" and I am told that colonels at Hoboken would greet returning veteran brig adler generals and order them to ad- jOurn to a reduced rank. Generals, colonels and lieutenants colonels be- fore starting home from abroad were ordered to carry in their baggage the insignia of captains, majors and lieu tenant colonels."
 Senator Harrison said "it would seem to some people that in many instances the thought uppermost in the minds of the general staff in re- taining certain men at advanced rank was to put up a job on con- gress and the secretary of war and they did not fall far short of accom- plishing it." He cited cases of for mer Brig. Gen. c. W. Kutz, John N. Hodges, c. w. Jewett, Briant H. Wells, w. c. Langfitt, Mason M. Pat rick and Maj. Gems. w. H. Johnson and Preston Brown, as instances of injustices he charged.
 No blacker page has been written, no greater degree of injustice perpe- trated, no more negotiable wrong inflicted upon any part of the army system than the general staff has meted ont in it's policy of demObiliZa- tion," he said

 l. N. W.
Witnesses in North Deny That Veterans Attacked
 Reds Hall

CyURT HOUSE, MONTESANO. Wash, Feb 14.-When John Earl Watts. an ex-service man wounded during the Armistice day parade at Centralia, took the witness stand thls afternoon. it was made plain that the issue between the state and II men on trial for murder here is the ques- tion of whether the I. w. w. hall was attacked before the shooting began.
 Watts. who stood in front Of the hall when the first shots were flred' told the jury there had been no ad- vance on the hall, no provocation TOT the volleys that poured mo the pro- cession.
 The ranks of the American Legion marchers were standing quietly, wait ing for their ranks to close up, when. without warning or reason, bullets came from all directions.
 The test of this eyewitness was the climax of the weeks installments of the states story. The evidence has been arranged in chronological se- uuence, the prosecution, putting the case with all the dramatic effect of a narrative. Now it has started DOT traying the scenes of the ill-fated pa rade.
 The last witness this afternoon was Mrs. Grimm, widow of Lieutenant Grimm, with whose murder Il pris- oners are accused.
 Widow Testifies
 She sat in the witness chair, slight, blonde. dressed in dark blue, her man. ner subdued Shes said that her hus- band had left her in doctors office and she had seen him pass in the parade. She heard no shots, she said quietly.
 Some one phOned me to go to the hospital He was conscious, well. practically conscious, until he died"
 As she talked. the young widow played with wedding ring, involun- tarily, it seemed.
 Grimm, underneath his uniform. wore a civilian vest, pierced by bull let holes, and Mrs. Grimm identi- fled it.
 Fired on Ranks
 The witness Watt told of standing in the parade when his platoon halt ed halted in front of the I. w. w. hall when the shooting began. talking to Sergt J. K. Moran, waiting for the rear ranks to close up.
 "The first shots,' he said, "came from the east, opposite the I. w. w. hall"

 l 4 I '
Leaders of Both Parties to Ratification Dispute Are
 Obdurate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Peace treaty negotiations still stood at an impasse tonight, with opinion among leaders still divided on the possibili- ties of compromise to insure ratifi- cation when the treaty again Is taken up in the senate next week.
 Discussion centered today on the two revised Article 10 reservations submitted yesterday by Senator Hitch cock, the Democratic leader, but there seemed little disposition Dy uny con- siderable number of Republicans to accept either of the proposals. The Republican leaders said no formal re- ply had been made to Senator Hitch cock and there probably would be none.
 Virtually ,he only difference be. tween one of the Hitchcock proposals and the new Republican reservation recently proposed, it was pointed out, is the insertion in the latter or the words "or by any other means' m enumerating the measures which the United States would decline to bring into use to preserve the fneegr1ry of other countries. It was suggesyed by some senators that a compromise might be possible by substitution of "or by it's resources" for Cor Dy any other means" There was no assur- ance, however, that Che leaders of either party would accept such a pro- poSal.
