Farmer Heir to Wealth

SEATTLE, March 20.--William Dal- las, 62, retired farmer of Seattle, claimed today that he was the eld- est member of the Scottish clan of Dallas after he had received word that the Duchess of Portland, wife of the fifth duke of Portland, once reported the richest landholders in Great Britain was en route to Seat tie as the rightful heir to the old Scottish fortune.
 AS far as I know I am the old est son of the oldest member of the Dallas family" said Dallas.
 There were two branches of my family. One went. to Jamaica to seek fortune, later coming to the United States and settling in Philadelphia. The other and oldest branch, went in 1885 to Orilla, S6 miles from To- ronto, from Scotland and two sons were born, the eldest William, and the younger Robert. Father died in 1S80."

SMITH, l. W. W.
 ATTORNEY BARRED
SUPREME COURT FINDS CENTRA. LA LAWYER GUILTY OF AD-
 VOCATING SABOTAGE

OLYMPIA March 20.-The supreme court today disbarred Elmer Smith Centralia attorney, on charges of having advocated and approved sa- botage, syndicalism and general vio- lation of laws as a means of social reform
 A majority Of the judges signed the opinion-two dissenting.
 The charges are based principally on speeches which Smith is alleged to have made in 1919, in which he is said to have advocated a general strike to "paralize all the industries of the state" in order to secure free dom for certain prisoners in the state penitentiary.
 Literature Quoted
 The majority opinion quoted a num- Der of excerpts from certain litera- ture said to be sponsored by the In dustrial Workers of the World and said to have been distributed at gath erings before which Smith spoke Re ferring to the literature. the court said:
 Tn his public addresses, of which he has delivered a great number throughout the state, under the aus pices of the Industrial Workers ol the World, the literature of that or ganization was circulated among his listeners which teaches both sabot- age and criminal syndicalism as a means of enforcing industrial chang es. The defendant could not be, and the evidence shows that he was not, unaware of the fact that this was done, and there is no reason why he should not be charged with all responsibility that usually follows an abettor of a criminal act
 Oath Violated
 The opinion denounced l. w. w. literature. This literature is vile" the opinion said. Tt advocates many serious crimes as a means of carry ing out the purposes of the organi- zation, and ways are pointed out how the acts can be accomplished with the least possibility of detec- tion:"
 Smith violated his oath as an attor- ney, the court declares, in advocar- ing the principles.
 The findings of the state board of law examiners were filed in the sr- preme court a year ago, January 24, 1924, and the case was heard on ap- peal by the supreme court June $, 1924.

ADMIRAL LINE NOT CALL ANCHORAGE
(From Anchorage Times)


 Following the announcement of the new dock policy of the Alaska rail road as announced by General Mana ger Noel w. Smith, official cancella- tion of Anchorage as a port of call was received by Brice Howard, local agent for the Pacific Steamship Com pany.
 Official notice was received from c. E. Five, assistant freight traffic manager, in charge of the Alaska traffic, in a telegram which read
 Advised by local representative of Alaska Rairload that it is now def- nitely decided to discontinue the use of the Anchorage dock. No arrange ment will be made to handle traffic over dock and it will be necessary to secure authority each time vessels de- sire to call at dock, and if granted, ships must do all of their own work. Further, necessary repairs are not contemplated under the circumstances and also the railroad having estab- lished certain commodity rates, prac- tically equalizing all water rates, thereby reducing probable tonnage available for the all-water route, we will discontinue Anchorage calls"
 MT. Howard was advised that the new commodity tariff on the railroad would be put into effect March 21, in- stead of March 25, thereby allowing all freight routed direct to Anchorage on that sailing of the Admiral Watson to receive the benefit of the new tariff
 4. H. Mcdonald, agent for the com pany stated that no statement com cerning the dock situation or the schedule of Alaska Steamship boats to Anchorage had been received.

Three Have Narrow
Escape as Auto Slips
Into River Near Bath

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Bath, Nov. 30.-A Ford coupe
driven by Mrs Chester w. Richard
son of Rockland. on it's way to Rock
land from Portland, met with dis
aster Sunday noon while crossing the
New Meadow river on the state
highway at Muddy Bridge.
The Ford coupe left the road,
crashed through the fence and Mrs
Richardson and a companion, Mrs.
III. f. Craser of Camden, along with
a little child. were hurled over into
the river bed. The accident occurred
at the west side Of the road and the
tide was out, the car catapulting
into the muddy river bottom. The
auto was completely wrecked in Its
1J-foot somersault, and the escape
of the occupants uninjured was con-
sidered almost a miracle by those
that have witnessed the car and
viewed the scene Of the accident
Mrs. Richardson's husband was
following close behind with another
car. The Ford was virtually a
wreck and it's demolished condition
attracted many people throughout
yesterday and today. while the es-
cape of the three occupants is still
a mystery. Cause of the cars dis
aster is attributed to one of two pos
sible causes, a broken steering gear
or a fiat tire.

Notorious Chapman
Takes Active Part
In Fight for His Life

Hartford Conn, NOV. 30.-(AP)-
Gerald Chapman, neatly dressed in
prison blue which emphasized the
whiteness OF his lean face, today took
an active part in his fight in the fed
eral courts to escape the gallows on
March 5, 1926.
Unobtrusively the twice reprieved
murderer entered the board of pardons
room at the state prison at the hear
ing on his writ of habeas corpus to sit
in court for the first time since April
when he was sentenced to be hanged
for the murder of James Shelly, a New
Britain police officer. AS he and his
counsel studied the documents which
the state of Connecticut and the United
States government filed with Judge
Edwin S. Thomas in the U. S. district
court, Chapman's face lit up and he
apparently concentrated on what he
was reading.
Chapman's appearance in the court
room was of short duration because
the counsel. "unprepared for the vol
luminous document" the states an
swer to Chapman's claim that he still
is a federal prisoner by virtue of his
refusal to accept the communication of
his o5-year sentence in the federal
penitentiary by President Coolidge,
asked for and obtained an adjourn
ment until Wednesday.

"The committee on agriculture of
the last legislature reported favor
ably upon the Grade A milk bill be-
cause it's members believed that the
public in paying a higher price for
such milk should be protected" said
State Senator Allen c. T. Wilson of
Aroostook county, who was a visitor
in the city last night. 1T is now up
to the voters of the state to decide
whether or not they desire that pro-
lection"
Senator Wilson was the chairman
of the agricultural committee which
reported the bill and he explained the
reasons which influenced the com
mittee in it's favorable action on the
bill. 1.-The legislature was asked to
define the grades of milk" he said
The committee had the bill under
consideration for a long time and
there was a big attendance at the
hearing upon it.
"All of those present at the hearing
We're in favor of a bill defining grade
A milk. Some of the proponents
asked for a bill providing for a very
low grade milk. although it was to be
sold at a higher price than other
grades. Others of the proponents
sought a high grade pasteurized milk.
The committee took all the angles in
to consideration and held the bill for
four weeks before reporting upon 1t.
After consultations with different
parties it was decided to define a
grade A milk which should be su-
perior to other grades in that it con-
tanned more butter fat and was q
better grade than that which sold at
a lower price. as the dealers demand
ed a higher price for Grade A milk.

Motor Ship Makes
First Atlantic Trip

New York, Nov. 30.-(AP)-The
Swedish motor ship Gripsholm,
first of her kind to cross the Allan
tic, reached New York today. 1t
left Gothenburg on November Il.
Propelled entirely by Diesel en-
gines, the Gripsholm is the first
large passenger ship of this type.
Crude oil is used for internal COM
bustion much as an automobile uses
gasoline Each engine drives pro-
peller and the combined horsepower
is about 22,000. Being motor ship
the Gripsholm does not have the
usual need for the two big runners
she carries, so one of them is used
as an elevator shaft and the other
as a combined elevator and venti-
lator shaft.
Her owners, the Swedish Ameri-
can Line. are SO pleased with the
performance of the ship on her trip
from Gothenburg, that they plan to
build a sister shin to use on the same
run. Her sir cylinder Diesel engines
of new design are the largest ever
built for any purpose.

GOV. ma FERGUSON
Determined NOT TO
CALL LEGISLATURE

Austin, Tex, Nov. 30-(AP)-A
representative of the Baltimore Sun,
who today obtained an exclusive in
terview with Governor Miriam A.
Ferguson and her husband, James A.
Ferguson, quoted the former as de-
claring that she would not call a
special session Of the legislature as
demanded in a petition signed by
>Speaker Lee Satterwhite and 50
house members.
She said she was not going to
throw myself to the wolves who
want to gather here and tear me
apart"
Official acts of the Ferguson ad-
ministration, particularly the award
ing of road contracts, would be in
vestigated il the special session of
the legislature convened. Should the
legislators meet on their own call
they could only consider impeach-
ment proceedings against state Of
ficials.
The Sun will say that political OPP
ponents of the Fergusons-Jim and
Miriam-are seeking ito unhorse the

Ferguson denied according to the
story, a report that he made 81
"tacit" admission that he performed
the duties Of the governor He said
he never made any such admission,
tacit or otherwise.

said. Every newspaper in this state
