Hubbard and Ben Casagranda, the
ex-service men killed here last Tues

County Attorney Allen said he

ing ' murder in the first degree

at Lhehalis. further evraence, ne
said, may increase this number. .
The four former service men will
be buried tomorrow at a public fu

their former comrades in arms.
While the funeral services are being
held the jail, it was announced, will
be guarded as it has been since the

Smith was taken from his cell in
the city jail here to the county jail
at Chehalis today to identify the

new type, described as perfect and
unimprovable.
General. Mondragon, it appears,
reported from his 'Conference in
Paris, that Mexico need not fear
intervention bv the United States,
but information received at the same
time discloses that the orders for
munitions steadily were going for-
wara. ine miormation in xne gov
ernment's hands also discloses that
the Mexican officials managing the
affair were attempting to estimate
the attitude of fera, Chile, Argen
tina and t other Siouth American
countries if the United States should
decide on intervention. That1 phase
of the incident however, is not re
garded by officials here as threaten
ing. Such information as the gov
ernment has, however, shows that
Aguilar discussed the South Ameri
can attitude toward intervention
during his conference in Europe,
but officials here realize that the
subject has always been discussed
among Mexican statesmen.
Tests Being Made
The orders and shipments of mu
nitions ire the subjects commanding
attention at present and it is known
that as late as July tests were being
made in Mexico. The munitions
were reported as giving perfect re
sults and the Spanish manufacturers
were being urged to fill orders to
the limit of their capacityv At one
time, it appears, the Mexican gov
ernment was attempting to make up
its estimates of the possibilities of
production in Spain by prosecuting
inquiries through the Spanish war
oitice. , .
In that connection recent Mexi
can, activities in Spain are receiving
attention and - considerable matter
characterized as Mexican propa
ganda is being observed in- the
Spanish press. The important part
taken by Mexicans in the Spanish
celebration of the discovery of
America last month also has been
reported.
- Meanwhile the activities of the
German mission in Mexico are
closely being observed. Attempts
by the Mexican government at con
fiscation of mines and oil wells
with an announced view to their
nationalization are being closely ex
amined in comparison with Ger
many's need for those products.

warning that should the liquor in
terests be successful in the suit,
profiteering in whisky would be
prevented. He also declared that
accepting orders for delivery of liq
uor conditioned on the issuance of
an injunction preventing the gov
ernment from enforcing prohibition
was illegal.- . '
Saloon employes were busily en
gaged today in polishing bars and
mirrors. Decisions in Kentucky and
Rhode Island favorable to the liquor
interests apparently had convinced
the'' saloonkeepers that the prohibi
tion acts were void. They expected
a similar decision in the local dis
trict court where injunction suits
filed in Peoria and Chicago were
combined.
Filing of briefs by attorneys for
the petitioners and the government
completed the case, and the court
announced a decision would be
given on or before Saturday.
In case the injunctions were is
sued, City Collector Lohman ' an
nounced permits in . lieu of s, city
licenses would be issued upon re
ceipt of the saloonkeepers' checks.
Palmer's Position Same.
Washington, Nov. 13. Attorney
General Palmer's position with re
spect to enforcement of wartime
prohibition has in no way been al
tered by court decisions in Rhode
Island and Kentucky, it was officially
stated tonight at the Department of
Justice. The government's conten
tion that the wartime law is valid,
it was added, will be vigorously de
fended until final decision has been
handed down by the United States
supreme court. ; ' -
While enforcement of the law is
stopped in the two states, United
States district attorneys, acting on
prior instructions, will proceed with
prosecutions of violators in other
communities, Officials declared.
Officials Differ.
Department officials differed as to
the results of the injunction. Some
held that during the life of the re
straining order there was nothing to
prevent opeii sale of all intoxicants
as covered by the order. Others did
not agree with this belief.
With regard to the effect on the
constitutional amendment by the
Ohio referendum, overturning the
legislature's action, the attorney gent
eral's view was said to be that ac
tion by the Ohio electorate would
not change the date on which the
prohibition amendment to the con
situation goes into effect. Until the
number of ' states ratifying the
amendment falls below 36, the de
partment will not concern itself
with the changes in their identity,
according to the opinion expressed
by the officials of Mr. Palmer's
staff.
Hear of New Attack.
Reports of a new attack to be
made by anti-prohibitionists in an
effort to stave off ' constitutional
prohibition have reached the De
partment of Justice from several
sources. This assault is expected
to be based on the reversal in
Ohio's stand, it was said. Officials,
however, said they felt sure of their
ground. None believed that more
than a re-issuance of the proclama
tion of ratification could be forced
while a majority held firmly to the
suggestion that so long- as 36 states
remained in the "dry" column the
government need take no heed of
the names of the states.

and fuel act, under which the coal
strike has been enjoined, would not
be used against labor organizations.
Referring to Mr. Gregory's denial
of the assertion originally made by
the council of the federation, Mr.
Gompers said the former attorney
general had gone into conference
with the labor executives on the
subject '
Refused Their Jobs.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 13. Coal
miners who offered to return, to
work in the Alabama district were
met with statements that "a Sur
plus existed" and that "they would
have to stand a physical examina
tion before they would be allowed to
return to work," according to J. L.
Clemo, 'secretary of Alabama dis
trict No. 20, United Mine Workers
of America.
The complaints of miners, accord
ing to reports at headquarters here,
take various forms. When the men
reported at one mine they are said
to have been told that the mini
foreman was ill and could not see
them. At other mines it was stated
to them that their places had been
filled and that their services would
not be needed. Still others stated
that a physical examination would
be requifed before they could re
turn to work.
Official figures showed the coal
production of the Alabama district
last week to have been 113,000 tons.
This is compared to an average
weekly 'production for the present
year of 200.000 tons.
To Clear Out Radicals.
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 13.
Agents of the Department of Justice

up I. W. W. and Russian agitators,
he said.
Open Up Mines Today.
Mismarck', N. D., Nov. 13. The
state of North Dakota expects to
have the 30 union coal mines in the
state under its control and in opera

to various local coal fields to take

RESERVATION TO
ARTICLE X WINS
OUT IN SENATE
Republicans Stand Solidly for
Committee's League Cove
nant and No Amendments
Are Successful.
x (Continued From Page One.)
but to all of their proposals the
united republican organization re
mained adamant. Finally forced to
yield, Democratic Leader Hitchcock
put into the senate hopper a set of
five reservations on which he will
ask for a vote later as a substitute
for the committee program. The
resolutions cover withdrawal, the
Monroe doctrine, article 10, domes
tic questions and voting equality in
the league.
(A sharp parliamentary battle was
precipitated by the democratic clo
ture proposal, which had been
drafted at a morning conference of
democrats to replace the one drawn
up yesterday. The original plan was
to propose a cloture upon the treaty
itself, but it was decided to confine
to the committee reservations when
the point was raised that it might
otherwise defeat the democratic
plan to vote down the committee's
ratification resolution and then offer
one acceptable to the administra
tion. . Opinions Differ.
In the conference considerable
difference of opinion developed over
the alternate plan, but 22 signatures
were secured to the petition which
is necessary to get a cloture vote.
When it was filed by Senator Hitch
cock, however, objection was made
by Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska, that the cloture rule could
not be applied to one feature only
of the measure. President Pro Tern
Cummins, presiding, sustained the
point of order, Senator Hitchcock
appealed from the ruling, and on
motion of Senator Lodge the appeal
was tabled, 44 to 36.
The republican petition, although
prepared yesterday by the mild res
ervation group, was not presented
until just before adjournment to
night. It calls for limitation of de
bate on the whole treaty, and car
ries the signatures of the following
republican senators:
Lodge (Mass.), Phipps (Colo.),
Elkins (W. Va.), Curtis and Capper
(Kan.), Edge (N. J.), Townsend
(Mich.), Jones (Wrash.), Norris
(Neb.), Colder (N. Y.), Kellogg
and Nelson (Minn.), Hale (Me.),
Lenroot (Wis.), McNary (Ore.),
Ball (Dela.), Sterling (S. D.), Cum
mins and Kenyon (la.), Moses and
Keyes (N. H.), Spencer (Mo.,) Mc
Cumber (N. D.), Colt (R. I.), Wat
son and New (Ind.), Smoot (Utah),
McLean (Conn.), Dillingham (Vt.),
and Harding (O.).
Petition Admitted.
The petition was admitted with
out objection and was ordered to
lie over under the rule until Satur
day, when a vote must be taken
without debate. Should a two-thirds
majority favor cloture, no I senator
then could speak more than an hour
in, all until final ratification roll call
had been reached. A plan to hold
night sessions, beginning tonight,
was abandoned when it was decided
to adjourn oVer tomorrow for the
funeral of Senator Martin.
Although Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri, had intended to continue
today his attack on the treaty, he
was persuaded by the senators pre
paring for cloture to withhold his
address and let consideration of the
reservations proceed. Late in the
day, however, Senator La Follette,

republican, Wisconsin, made a two
hour speech against Article 10, and
the republican cloture proposal went
in as soon as he took his seat.
Muster Only Four Votes.
The first amendment voted on, a
motion by Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, to amplify the reservation
mustered only four votes. Pending
for several days, the proposal had
been characterized in debate as
"a trick" to attract irreconcilable
republicans away from their party
leaders and to make the reservation
so sweeping that the mild reserva
tionists could not vote for its adop
tion. Senator Walsh denied that any
trick was intended, but the demo
cratic leaders apparently decided to
take no chances on such an amend
ment being adopted. Senator Pitt
man, democrat, Nevada, was the
only democrat, . except Senator
Walsh to vote for it.
On all the other proposed amend
ments and substitutes the vote was
virtually the same, no republican
voting for any chance, and from
three to five democrats helping vote
them down.' A motion by Senator
Thomas, democrat, Colorado, to as
sume the Article 10 obligations for
five years was rejected 46 to 32; one
by Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, to extend the article's guaran
tee to the small buffer states of Cen
tral Europe was lost, 44 to 32, and
one by Senator McKellar, democrat.
Tennessee, to extend aid in protect
ing Alsace Lorraine went out, 45
to 36.
Reject Substitute
Byia vote of 44 to 32 the senate
rejected a substitute by Senator
Hitchcock, which would declare the
recommendations of the league
council to be "merely advisory" and
a similar proposal by Senator'Owen,
democrat, Oklahoma, failed 44 to 33.
Mr. Hitchcock's final effort at
amendment, a motion to add a
resolution drawn some months ago
by Senator Knox, republican, Penn
sylvania, relative to the nation's
duty in any European emergency,
was rejected 45 to 34, Senator Knox
voting with the other republicans
against it.
The substitute reservations pre
sented by Senator Hitchcock, are as
follows:
That any member nation propos
ing to withdraw from the league on
two years' notice is the sole judge
as to whether its obligations re
ferred to in Article 1 of the league
of nations have been performed as
required in said article. 1
That no member nation is required
to submit to the league, its council,
or its assembly for decision, report
or recommendation, any matter
which it considers to be in interna
tional law, a domestic question such
as immigration, labor, tariff, or
other matter relating to its internal
or coastwise affairs.
Monroe Doctrine Stands
That the national policy of the
United States known as the Monroe
doctrine, as 'announced and. inter
preted by the United States, is not
in any way impaired or affected by
the covenant of the league of nations
and is not subject to any decision,
report of inquiry by the council or
assembly.
'That the advice mentioned in
Article 10, of the covenant of the
league which the council may give
to the member nations as to the
employment of their naval and mili
tary forces is merely 'advice which
each member nation is free to accept
or reject according to the conscience
and judgment of its then existing

The climate of the Pacific slope from British Colum

is mild and pleasant all winter, varying in degree
of mildness as one journeys North or South.
Rose and geranium weather, for which warm' ocean currents are re
sponsible, makes it possible for the visitor whether in Seattle, Tacoma,
Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego whether motor
ing along the Columbia Highway or El Camino Real to view the
scenic wonders of the Far West in comfort, and to engage in all out-of-door
sports, as in springtime.
And the scenery of the entire trans-Sierra region is so varied with its
cloud-crowned peaks, its mountain-born streams, its waterfalls, its
flower-carpeted valleys and ocean beaches that no part of it should
be missed.
En route visit the National Parks, National Monuments, and other winter
