Centralia, Wash., Nov. 12.—Nineteen alleged Industrial i
\\ orkcrs of the World are in jail here to-day. The men were j
rounded up yesterday and last night, after the firing on the Ar
mistice Day parade, which resulted in the death of four members
of the American Legion and the lynching of an I. W. W. member.
There was no disorder here this morning.
Later the National Guardsmen went on patrol duty in many
parts of the city. At 8.30 they were posted on the main streets
and were guarding all the roads leading into Centralia.
The reason for the attack, which came as the head of the |
parade swung past 1. W. W. headquarters to-day, had not been |
developed fully, but Herman Allen, an attorney and member of
the committee of former service men and others co-operating
with the authorities in the investigation, said evidence had been
obtained that it was premeditated.
Citizens to-day planned to drive all radicals from Centralia,
where they have been increasing for some time. Centralia was
headquarters for Lewis county Industrial Workers operating i
from here into the logging camps and other industrial pursuits
of this section. American Legion members expressed determina- i
tion that everv I. W. W. must leave the city.

Characterizes Shooting
as Attempt at Revolt
in House Debate
By Associated Press.
AA nslilngton. Nov. 12—The shooting
| of four ex-service men in an armis
| tice day parade in .Centralia, Wash
ington, was described in the House
, to-day by Representative Johnson,
I Republican. Michigan, chairman of
the Immigration Committee as an "at
tempt at revolution with bullets and
rifles which the country has long
feared."
Mr. Johnson sent a tolegram to
Mayor Rogers, of Centralia, saying
the country "must be purged of se
ditionists and revolutionists to the
last one, and if this means war, the
quicker it was declared the better."
"We, of the Pacific Northwest have
long seen it coming," he said. "We
have been patient, have avoided blood
shed under every provocation, only to
see these young men murdered. Their
death will arouse the loyal people of
the United States as nothing else has
done.
"History will record these heroes
as among the first to fall in an at
tempt at armed revolution against the
United States and for which every
man who has been preaching syndi
calism, communism and class hatred
is responsible."

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
Decree Will Be Entered To

Is Unconstitutional
Providence. R. 1., Nov. 12.
Judge Arthur L. Brown in the Fed
eral district court to-day issued a
temporary injunction against Harvey
A. Baker, United States Attorney
and George F. Shaunessey, collector
of internal revenue, restraining them
from enforcing the provisions of the
wartime prohibition act. The in
junction was issued upon the petition
of the Narragansett Brewing Com
pany.
The sale of four jx-r cent, beer
was immediately resumed by Provi
dence liquor dealers.
The court in handing down its de
cision said:
"In view of the probability that
the act in question will ultimately
be held unconstitutional and of the
irreparable damage that would result
from its immediate enforcement, and
as, in view of the evidence afforded
Iby the Presidential proclamations
| and other circumstances, its imme
diate enforcement is not imperative,
I am convinced that the plaintiffs
right to a preliminary injunction is
clear.
The decree will be entered to
morrow when it will become effec
tive.

CHILD-WIFE FOUND
INNOCENT BY JURY
17-Year-Old Mother Acquitted After Deliberation of
One Hour and Fifteen Minutes Sheriff
Ordered to Give Girl Her Freedom
Within an hour and fifteen minutes after the jurors had left
the courtroom to-day they had agreed upon a verdict in the case
against Mrs. Cathleen Stewart, the child-mother charged with
murder, and immediately after court convened this afternoon
they returned a verdict of acquittal.
She was discharged from custody at once, and with her hus
band stepped outside the railing to the relatives and friends who
were waiting for them. Many of them had remained in the court
room from the time the jury retired at noon.
Clings to Her Aunt
The girl kissed some of her relatives and then clung to her
aunt, Mrs. May A. Smith, with whom she has lived since she was
two years old. A minute later she left the courtroom with her
husband on one side and her uncle on the other. They went to
the county jail to get some of her clothing and then took her to
the Smith home at 1222 North Front street.
The jury came into court at 2.03
o'clock and the defendant was
brought in a minute later. Deputy
Prothonotary Henry F. Holler di
rected her and the juryment to stand,
and then inquired if they had agreed
upon a verdict. Upon receiving the
reply that they had, he inquired
what the verdict was. The foreman,
W. E. Scott, 519 Muench street, re
plied in a low tone, "Not guilty,"
and was scarcely heard outside the
bar.
Discharge*! at Once
Mr. Holler handed the verdict to
Judge Kunkel, who read it and re
turned it. The deputy prothonotary
recorded it in the quarter sessions
docket, then directed the jury to
rise again and read the verdict. As
he pronounced the word "not guilty,"
Mrs. Smith, Cathleen's aunt, leaned
forward and sobbed quietly. There
was a slight murmur in the crowded
courtroom, then W. Justin Carter,
counsel for the girl, asked to have
her discharged from custody.
The District Attorney announced
that no further charge was to be

RATE INCREASED
TEN PER CENT.

Acts to Permit Wiping
Out of Deficit
NO PROTEST IS FILED
Figures Furnished by Corpo
ration Leaves No Mar
gin For Profit
An increase of ten per cent, in the
steam heat rates of the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company was ap
proved to-day by the Public Service
Commission.
The Commission in giving its ap
proval to the new rate takes cog
nizance of a deficit incurred by the
company in furnishing steam at the
old rate. The company declared be
fore the commission that the deficit
last year was $26,983. The new rate
is estimated to increase the revenue
] about $26,000 just about wiping out
last year's deficit.
Tile ltuling
| The Commission's order follows:
"On August 12, 1919, the Commis
sion, by order in C. 2298, maintained
the rates which were then under
investigation. In its order dismissing
that complaint, it prescribed that it
was without prejudice to the right of
complainants to renew same on or
after May 31, 1920, and therein re
spondent was directed to file from
time to time supplemental state
ments evidencing its receipts and
expenses under these sustained rates
! down to May 31, 1920.
I "The respondent by this applica
| tion alleges and by evidence pre
sented has shown that under its ac
tual experience the cost of producing
steam is approximately ten cents per
thousand pounds of condensation
over that which was anticipated by
it and covered by the approved tar
iff schedule referred to.
"X'o protest has been filed against
the ten cent increase now prayed for.
The evidence sfuvvvsßhat respondent's
operating expenses for the year be
ginning June 1, 1918, and ending May
31, 1919, were $186,529. The gross
revenues for the same period were
$159,546, leaving a deficit of $26,983.
"The ten cent increase asked for
will produce about $25,000 or $26,-
000 more revenue, an amount which
will approximately cover the deficit
mentioned.
"In the circumstances the applica
tion should be allowed, but upon the
same terms as our former order
which granted leave to complainants
to file a further complaint if they
jso desire on or after May 31. 1920,
upon which the Commission will give
I further consideration to the matter."
