TROOPS OF REGULAR ARMY ARE SENT T0SCENE0F MURDER TRIAL
 TO AVERT POSSIBLE TROUBLE

MONTESANO, Feb. 25 (by Associ- ated Press) Acting on the request of Prosecuting Attorney Allen, Governor Hart has appealed to General Hunter Liggett, commander of the Western department, that regular army troops be sent to Montesano.
 Mr. Allen said the request was made to prevent the increasing drift of rad icals, coupled with vague threats which had reached his ears. The ac- tion was dictated, he said, by a desire to secure fair trial and to protect the interests of both the defense and the prosecution. No evidence of trouble had been noticed, he said, and he had reason to believe that the ru mors of trouble were idle and unfound- ed, but he was taking the proper steps to forestall the possibility of trouble
 He said also that the presence of the troops would quiet the rumors of a possible jail delivery.
 Vanderveer, attorney for the de- fendants, said the prosecutions re- quest for troops was propaganda. He said there was no need for troops and there was no sign of trouble.
 Troops Authorized

 In Wyoming and California the naval oil reserves are not made available for public leasing under the bill, unless the President so prescribes.
 The United States Geological Sur vey estimates that under the terms of the new law more than 6,7O0,000 acres of oil lands are opened to lease.
 At noon today a flash" was re- ceived by the Daily Times from the Associated Press announcing that President Wilson had signed the coal and oil land-leasing bill, throwing open % entry thousands of acres of coal and oil lands in the United States proper and many thousand of acres of oil lands in Alaska.

 AS result of this piece of needed Legislation a new era is expected to be inaugurated in Alaska, and Cor dova, more than any other city of the territory, should be benefited greatly.
