Must Not Bother Auditor. Anxiety of
policemen to got hold of their pay for
the past month caused a formal complaint
to be lodged with the department by the
City Auditor. The April payroll was ex
pected yesterday and no sooner was the
Auditor's offlce open In the morning than
the telephone commenced rinsing. It was
a policeman wishing to know Just what
time the payroll would be ready. No
sooner was the receiver hung in' place,
after the officer had been given the desired
information, than the phone rang again.
And it kept ringing half the morning until
the offlce force was distracted. A sharp
complaint was sent to Chief Gritzmacher.

pay was described as a nuisance and the
Chief was asked to put a stop to it. This
he did. at least he Issued an order in
structing the officers to .refrain from use

only this month but every month here
after. Bondholders Get Interest. Home

result. The bonds yield S per cent interest
annually and the semi-annual payment

resentative of the National Securities
Company. Depositors In the ill-fated Ore

part settlement of their claims against
the defunct bank. Large numbers of the
interest coupons are coming In to the

Wants New Schoolhouse. A petition
is being circulated in Woodlawn asking
the Board of Education to build a new
addition to the old schoolhouse. It is set
forth that the old schoolhouse is in bad
condition and that the newer portion is
overcrowded. A citizens' committee re
cently investigated and reported the old
four-room building unfit to be used. The
Woodlawn Push Club will start a cam
paign for a new building. At the
meeting of the North East Side Im
provement Association last night It was
unanimously decided to aek the build
ing inspector to visit the schoolhouse
and examine it with a view to con
demning the building. R. E. L. Sim
mons reported that the Board of Edu
cation had declined to take any action
further than to say that if the asso
ciation would sell the Williams-avenue
ground for $75,000 a new schoolhouse
would be put up.

cient to explain and make known the"

Mrs. Zander. Both are in Jail.'

Finds- Refusal to Send Battleships
Here Xot lue to Hostility
Toward Portland.
Thomas McCusker, the prhicipal State
ment No. 1 organizer in Multnomah
County, returned from an Eastern trip
last night. He was in Chicago, New
York, Washington, and from Chicago vis
ited his old home at Danville, III.
While in Washington Mr. McCusker
had several interviews with Senator
Bourne, and in his company made a trip
to New York. Senator Bourne's apart
ments in Washington, he said last night,
are much frequented by members of Con
gress and Government officials, who meet
to discuss political matters and questions
of public concern.
"On one of these occasions," said Mr.
McCusker, "there were present, beside
Senator Bourne and myself. Secretary
Metcalf and Senator Hemenway of In
diana. The subject of having the battle
ship fleet visit Portland came up. Sec
retary Metcalf expressed much interest
in the proposed visit and said he had
done everything possible to carry out the
wishes of Portland, but found that the
Managing Board had received such in
formation as to withhold their approval
of the plan. For one thing. Captain
Winslow, who brought the Charleston to
Portland, advised against an effort to
bring up battleships, some of which draw,
when coaled, 27H feet. So far as any feel
ing against Portland or Oregon is con
cerned, I desire to say in the most em
phatic manner possible that Mr. Metcalf
expressed nothing either at the time I re
fer to in Senator Bourne's rooms, or dur
ing the two days we traveled together in
coming West, that indicated anything
other than the friendliest interest in Ore
gon. "The Secretary, and in fact many of the
other leading men in Washington, hold
the most cordial relations with Senator
Bourne, who stands high in their regard.
Many of these men assured Mr. Bourne
tlrat they would Interest themselves in
having Portland Included in the itinerary
of the fleet, but that when the highest au
thorities in the Navy deemed it inexpedi
ent to risk the costly battleships on so
close a margin of safety, they felt cer
tain that Oregon's loyalty would rise su
perior to any disappointment they might
CAPTAIN HOBSON LECTURES ON
THE NEED FOR GREATER NAVY
Alabama Congressman Speaks at the Heilig, Sounding Warning of the
Dangers That Beset Sleeping America.
BY ARTHUR A. GREBNE.
APAN has already lnvafed the
I Hawaiian Islands. Should ' our
V fleet return to the Atlantic the
Mikado could simultaneously land four
armies of 25,000 each on this coast, cap
ture San Francisco, Portland, Los An
geles and the cities on Puget Sound,
and after looting and reducing them,
return home with their booty before
the fleet could possibly return. It will
be flying in the face of almost certain
war should the fleet be ordered back
to its Atlantic station. It must stay
in the Pacific. We must build another
for the Atlantic."
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
prefaced a comprehensive half hour's
talk with me yesterday with the state
ments quoted above. He repeated them
with much greater emphasis before an
audience at the Heilig last night.
"More than 350,000,000 yen worth of
Japanese bonds are held in this coun
try, and last year we sold Japan 750,
000 rifle-barrels. In other words, we
are loaning her money with which she
may buy arms from us with which to
fight us.
"We haven't enough rifle barrels for
our own army, yet Congress recently re
fused to provide for four battleships as a
start toward preparing to defend this
coast from raid and permanent invasion
by Japan.
"Sleeping America apparently will not
believe that this Nation is in grave dan
ger every day our lamentable condition
of unpreparedncss continues. Repeated
warnings seem to have no power to move
them. Sleeping America will be rudely
awakened some of these days when her
awakening will cost thousands of lives
and untold millions of property unless
she maintains a considerable margin of
superiority on the Pacific."
Captain Hobson everybody knows as
the hero of the Merrinrac incident, and
everybody is coming to know him as one
of the forceful new men in Congress who
seem destined for leadership. It is as
Congressman Hobson, Sixth Ala
bama in particular, In and for these
United States in general that he is
doing the greater though less spectacu
lar service in his country's behalf.
He is a voice crying in a wilderness of
money-getting. On the floor of the
House, in committee rooms and on the
platform he has sounded again the warn
ing of foes without.
Captain Hobson started in at the task
of getting a big annual budget for in
creasing the Navy almost single-handed,
but his work is beginning to show results.
The fight for the four-battleship appro
priation with the influence of the Presi
dent on the affirmative side, although
lost, 'was no walk-over for the oppo
nents of the larger Navy programme. It
was a scrap after Hobson's own heart.
Next session Hobson. who is generally
recognized as the President's field mar
shal in the fight for the greater Navy,
may win. He's making recruits all the
time. But if he loses again he will go on
and eventually will win. He's the kind
that never quits. He has taken up the
matter in hand as a sacred duty. It was
because be foresaw the danger which

entertain, and would know the action In
withholding the order for the ships to
come here was prompted entirely on the
score of safety for the people's prop-,
erty.
"As to the Presidential nomination at
Chicago, I may eay that Roosevelt will
be nominated on the first ballot, without
question of doubt. That is the opinion I
formed after conferring with leading men
in Washington, 'New York and Chicago.
Secretary Taft was rather a strong can
didate some months ago, but today his
chances of nomination are not regarded
as promising by any means. In regard to
Oregon's delegation, I can say that if it
goes to Chicago instructed to vote for
Mr. Taft it will have no opportunity of
doing so, for, as I said before, Mr. Roose
velt will be named on the first ballot.
"There is an openly-expressed opinion
in the East that Bryan can defeat Taft.
Senator Hemenway told me that if Taft
is nominated Indiana will give Bryan 50,-
000 majority, whereas with Roosevelt the
nominee, the state will give him from 60,
000 to 100.000 majority. The other candi
dates mentioned Cannon, Fairbanks,
Knox will not give their strength to Taft.
but on the contrary, while they would
support the President enthusiastically,
they would object to him as naming his
successot.
senator Bourne, as coming from the
State of Oregon, is known as the orig
inal Roosevelt man, and this state, when
the President is renominated, will be
known as the original Roosevelt state for
that reason. It strikes me as being
strange that the party here should fail to
avail itself of the prestige within Its
grasp. There is evidently some political
move behind the State Central Commit
tee's action which I shall try to fathom."

threatened sleeping America and knew
the need of effective work in Congress
that he resigned from the Navy to en
ter politics. It was on this one issue,
the preparation against the day of dis
aster, that he made his campaign for the
National Legislature two years ago, and
according to the Congressional Record.
' received 830S to 1 for his Republican op
ponent, which is "going some," even for
Alabama. .
"Hobson has immolated practically all
other ideas he may have of statescraft
to this one. He is a crank and a most
useful one. He has the advantage of
a thorough knowledge of his fad. He
knows more about ships that go down
to the sea for frolics or fights than any
other dozen men in Congress. It's hi
business. He spent almost 20 years in
a naval uniform. He isn't simply "put
tering" around. He is one having au
thority. "Do you realize." Hobson" asked,
"that we have 50. 000 miles of coast
line, including all its indentations, on
the Atlantic and Gulf and tributary
rivers, more than 40,000 on the Pacific,
including the possessions. To defend
this properly against attack we should
have a navy equal to the combined
navies of the world, yet with the fleet
in the Pacific, the Atlantic seaboard
Is defended by five armored ships, as
against the vast armadas of England
and other European powers. Germany,
for instance, could land 200,000 troops
on the New Jersey - coast or Long
Island, raid New York, Philadelphia
and Washington, Boston and Balti
more, and return home long before
Admiral Evans' ships could possibly
reach the Atlantic. Fifteen million
people live wi'thin the range of battle
ship guns along the Atlantic seaboard.
Yet we have five men-of-war to pro
tect them.
"Japan could land 1,000.000 on this
coast within nine months, with our one
fleet in the Atlantic, where it would
have to be to ward off attack from
Europe. Knowing these conditions.
(Congress, desiring to make a record
for economy for political purposes, re
fused to give us four battleships, while
Japan is now building a number.
"It may prove very costly economy. It
remains for the people to demand action
of their Representatives in Congress and
that's what I'm trying to agitate on my
lecture tours. .
"Japan is only awaiting a pretext to
strike us and I'm convinced she'll do It
just as soon as our fleet is safely out of
the Pacific."
Captain Hobson referred to the failure
of Secretary Metcalf to send the fleet to
Portland and took the position that such
action would furnish the very best argu
ment for' our Congressional delegation in
their work for liberal Columbia River ap
propriations. At last night's lecture a closely atten
tive and enthusiastic audience heard the
distinguished Alabaman and applauded
repeatedly hta remarkably convincing plea
for National defense. He was introduced
by H. W. Stone, secretary of the T. M.
C. A. and with few preliminaries got into
his subject, which he illuminated for two
hours.
Captain Hobson will appear at Albany
tonight but will return to Portland on
Sunday.
