Centralia, Wash., Nov. 1. — Two former soldiers and-a civilian were killed and a number injured today by snipers, said {o have been Industrial Workers of the World, who fired on an Armistice Day parade marching through the streets of the city. Shots poured from the roofs of build- ings as the parade neared Tower av- enue, Centralia’s main street, and Sec- ond avenue. Arthur E. McKifresh fell dead and Warren O. Grimm, attorney and former University of Washington football. star, and Ben Cassagrande, a real estate man, suffered wounds from which they later died. All three were residents of Centralia. Four others, sustaining less severe wounds, were: George Stevens and Dale Hubbard of Centralia and two men from Chehalls, Washn,, whose last names were given as Friscus and Watt. Tie parade of veterans of the world war broke up quickly while the uni- formed marchers made a dash to raid the I W. W. hall and round up ail suspicious characters. The service men soon stripped the hall of all furniture and documents and arrested sixteen men. . These, thrown in jail, were guarded by the former soldiers to prevent their es- cape and at the same time to protect them from lynching. A mob seeking the prisoners was fought back by the overseas’ men who stood guard at the jail to see that officials made no effort to take the sus- pects away. A quantity of arms and ammunition was_seized when the mob ransacked the I W. W. headquarters, near which the shooting occurred, trampled down the building front and threw into the streets and burned all of the organ- ization's literature and property whieh could he found. Posges scoured the timber camps and searched feverish- Iy among the town's 8,000 inhabitants for other radicals.

[ ETHICS OF PROFESSION FORBIDS DRUG CLERK STRIKE New York, Nov. 11.—Drug clerks who recently went on strike were ac- cused today by Robert Lehman, chair- {man of the New York pharmaceutical conference, of having violated profes- sional ethics. He contended the phar- macist had the same obligation to the public as' the physician, the fireman and the policeman not to join a labor union. He characterized “sudden ces- sation of service at a critical period” a sa *‘most immoral” proceeding. “The compounding of medicincs,” he said, “is a profession and should not be placed in the same category with trades which do not require high edu- | cation and professional training and which do not play such a vital part in the health and life of the community. “The conference regards as a menace to the public health and welfare the placing of a part of our profession in a position whereby it may be called upo nto discontinue its important and necessary work because of grievances or in sympathy with some other move- ment.” The conference announced its will- ingness to meet a committee of regis- tered drug clerks and apprentices not affiliated with a union to discuss griey- ances STATE GUARDSMAN ON POLICE PUTY IN BQSTON KILLED Boston, Nov. 1lL—Private William Duchaine of Haverhill, 19 vears old, and a member of the First Provisional Regiment of the state guard, on police Quty in this city, was killed ioday when he attempted to ston a quarrel accentuated by revolver shots in g West End barber shop and pool room conducted by Joseph D.

CANADA WANTS RETURN OF 25,000 BOX CARS FROM U. 8. Montreal, Nov. 11.—Prompt return of ,000 Canadian box cars from .the United States to relieve the Canadian shortage is being sought by the Do- minion government. Referring to a Washington announcement that the “anadian cars in the United States was due to the coal strike, the Canadian railway war board asserted today that since the first of large number. of the year the average number of Cana- dian _cars in the United States was 45,067, while the nmumber of United States cars in Canada was 19,926. “The inferenceis, therefore,” said a statement by the board, “that Cana- dian cars are being used in local ser- vice in the U return them to Canada.” The board charges that despite re- peated assurances by the United States railroad administration that Canadian cars would be sent home, the move- ment has been entirely inadequate.

The rain, however, could not dampen the urd of those participating in the ceremo= nies connected with the planting of two memorial California redwood trées in Lafayette square, opposite the White House, At the anniversary hour; 11 o'clock in the morning, the rattle of musketry from the army firing pla- toon formally announced that the trees were in place, banked by earth brought from many states for the pur- pose, and with memorial documents to be sheltered for years to come beneath their roots. Tonight a chorus of community singers gathered on the steps of the treasury, across from the White House, to serenade Mr. Wilson. The president had planned some days in advance to leave his sick bed | today as in some measure his own commemoration of the significance of Armistice day, and, reposing in wheel chair, was able to hear a part the program arranged by the singers in his honor. Formal expressions as to the day's meaning in not only American but world history were sent to the coun- try by the president. cabinet ministers Generals Pershing and March _an other officials during the day. Secre. tary Daniels added to his formal state- ment in an address to wounded sol+ diers at Walter Reed military hospital “The men who made Armistice day possible in 1918, the naval secretary said, “will never permit anarchy of autocracy to rule here in America.
