regular .venire of 80 men and a spe

cial venire of 300 today had been summoned for the opening of the trial of 11 Industrial Workers of the World charged with murder in connection with the shooting to death of four former soldiers at Centralia, Wash., on armistice day.

Warm Monday Melts Sheet of Glare Ice Over the City; Skating Good, Coasting Poor Although "creepers" were still In demand Monday, weather conditions were rapidly becoming normal in Richmond. Street cars, interurban lines and railroads were operating upon normal schedules, and pedestrians found walking much easier. Monday's weather forecast predicts warmer weather, followed by rain or snow. Either precipitation will aid in ridding the streets and pavements of the coating of ice. The lowest temperature of the present cold spell was reported Sunday, when the mercury dropped to four above zero. The maximum temperature Sunday was 18, at one p. m. At seven a. m. Monday, the thermometer read 10 above. The mercury rose rapidly until at noon, 22 degrees above was reported. Coasting at Roosevelt's hill was not popular Sunday, as the cold weather had frozen the surface so that sleds could hardly make the turn at the foot of the bill. However, several parties were out. The best ice skating in 'several years now prevails at Morton Lake, and the record crowds of the season were out Sunday. The ice is frozen so thick that a week of warm weather will be required before skating will be unsafe.

I said this was a mere statement of the situation."
