THE MORNING OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31. 1913. CHANGES IN ARMY WILL OCCUR SOON Generaf Maus Tells of Confer ence of High Officers With War Secretary. GREATER EFFICIENCY AIM . States Will Be Divided Territorially Into Four Departments With Special Organization for Speedy Mobilisation. VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash., Jan. 30. (Special.) Brigadier-General Marion P. Maun, who has been absen from this department since December 8, on a trip to New 1 ork and wasning ton. U. C, where he participated in the conference of the heads of the great departments of the United States Army, called by Secretary of War Stimson, and who returned late last night, today . M that the conference, which was held January . was highly satisfactory. ' The questfbns for consideration related to tactical and territorial organization of the United States Army. "It is obvious that when the troops are withdrawn for garrisons at Hawaii and the Panama Canar Zone, there must be a readjustment." said General Maus. " "When it is considered that already the garrisons of the Philippine Islands have been located, there will be com paratively few troops of the mobile ' Army In the united states m an little more than 30.000. Mexican Case Cited. "When the trouble along the Mexican . border occurred, it was strongly evident : that there could not have been a proper organization, or troops ought to have been at their point of mobilization within six days, instead of double that time and then on arrival witnout or ' conization. "The Idea of the present Secretary of War Is to prevent such delays, and put the Army on a business basis, ready to move without a moment's hesitation, in proper organization, complete when necessity arises, and prevent the delays which may be fatal to the success of the object to be accompnsneci. "A clear, tactical ami territorial plan has been worked out under Secretary Stimson's direction, by the War College, covering every phase of a modern mill tary organization. Move In Commended. "This contemplates the division of the country territorially into four depart ments, with one additional for the Panama Canal Zone, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands. Within the limits of each of these new departments the troops Included therein will be or ganized Into brigades nnd divisions. with the additional attached troops. Of course, all of this cannot be accom niiahe.1 at this time, but the step taken by the Secretary is In the direction of progressive military euiciency. "In the same way as the regular Army, all of the National Guards In akle of these departments are or ganised. and In the event of war being declared will each know Its position in the armies to be assembled. It Is believed that the condition of prepara tion will be greatly advanced, super vision will be rendered more efficient. and the divisions of the Army, includ ing the National Guard, of the country, will have a comprehensive Idea of how they are going to serve. Orders Kxpected Sooa. "It Is expected that In a short time the Secretary or -War will puDiisn orders, directing the execution of his plans. The assemblage of these gen eral officers, including all of those In active service, with the exception of one who was 111, and the heads or an the great departments, has marked an epoch in military conferences and councils in this country. There is no question that a great deal of benefit resulted therefrom. All were impressed with the clear, progressive ability of the present Secretary of War, and ap preciated the courtesy and considera tion -shown to each by him. "The plans for the disposition of the Army, such as would be approved by all progressive business men. will naturally result In some changes of stations Some or the smaller ones, but none of the Important ones, will be eliminated, in the general scheme, laadeqnaey of Army Sera. "In our present position, it must be evident to the thoughtful citizen that the present Army is wholly inadequate, especially on this isolated and distant Coast, nnd it Is believed the effort of every citizen should he to aid in securing a reasonable increase. esjveeially for the Pacific Coast, to take the place of those troops that must necessarily be kept In the Philippine Islands ami the great Canal Zone." General Maus resumed command of the Department of the Columbia upon Ms return, relieving Colonel R. H. Wilson, who assumed charge about January 1. With Major Fleming. Adjutant-General, General Maus is at tending to matters that have been held up pending his return. The General's aide de camps have not yet been announced. Lieutenant KUward G. McCleave has been ordered to the Twenty-Fifth, his old regiment, at Schotield Bniracks, and Lieutenant Francis L. Whitley has rejoined the First Infantry, at the same post, leav ing no aide de camp on duty here. COMMANDER OF DEPARTMENT OF COLUMBIA, PHOTO- GRAPHED UPON HIS RETURN FROM WASHINGTON. .

Mr. Grady paid $500 on a 40-acre tract, the full price to be J4000.

ST. JOHNS, Or.. Jan. 30. (bpecial The greater portion of the time at the monthly meeting of the Commercial Club, held Tuesday night, was devoted to a discussion of better car service. Messrs. Ketchum. Dotson and Randall. of the Portsmouth Push Club, told of plans that the club had devised in the hope of securing better service. The peninsula s greatest uravDacs, declared Mr. Ketchum, "la the poor car service." lie said he had made a special study of conditions and the only objection he had ever found to anyone living on the Peninsula was poor car service, and he asked the aid of Jhe local club in having- this ob jection ameliorated. Three distinct features were to be aemanaea irom tne Portland Railway. Light ft Power Company single cars, not less fre quent service than 10 minutes, and routage over the L line and the Broadway bridge when completed. Petitions are being circulated by tne Portsmouth Push Club demanding these innovations. The local club decided to circulate petitions demanding these changes and independent car service on the loop that encircles the lower peninsula. Competitor Plan Broached. The Portsmouth representatives de clared their intention of using the Northwestern Electric Company, that is about to make Its advent into Port land, as a whip or club to bring the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company to terms.

The ferry service committee reported that 20-mlnute service had been in augurated by the County Court, and the new arrangement was giving uni versal satisfaction. Work has been started on a large addition to the Portland Woolen Mills Company plant, on Bradford street. The new addition will be 80x200 feet, two stories high. This will practically double the capacity of the plant, and furnish employment for 500 hands. A petition to Improve Fessenden street between Smith avenue and Os wego street was presented to the City Council this week. The improvement will be of concrete, and will provme for the last link of Fessenden street It is 70 feet wide. INDORSE BUREAU OF MINES Judge Burke Favors Special Appro priation for O. A. C. SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) Judge T. C. Burke, of Baker, president of the Oregon Immigration League, is out with a hearty indorsement of the bill now pending in the Legislature providing for the establishment of a bureau of mines and mineralogy at the Oregon Agricultural College. He regards this as one of the best in vestments the state could make, as strongly tending to stimulate the inter, est In and development of Oregon's mineral valth. He says that Oregon now expe.-.Is nearly $4,000,000 annually for geological products obtained from outside sources. Much of this sum is made up of brick, tile, cement and other materials which Oregon could Just as well be manufacturing. Judge Burke believes that this would mean a saving of about 20 per cent in these lines. He declares that the Immigration Board Is asking for a $50,000 appropri ation to extend the sphere of its work, but does not -feel as though this will in any way be a loss to the state, as the increased population which will re sult will not only stimulate all. Oregon activities, but will actually lower the rising tax rate by dividing it among more people, as the greatest portion of the state's administration is for the fixed charges which remain nearly con stant whether the state have a popu lation of one or three million. He thinks the prospects good for the passage of both bills. Dallas Arranges library Opening. DALLAS. Or., Jan.- SO. (Special.)

I i FAlVilLY IS REUNITED Ex-Portland Man Back From Alaska, Finds His Wife. MEETING OCCURS IN SALEM K. H. Ashcroft Goes North and When Letters ot Husband and Wife Miscarry Oonple Lose Track of Each Other. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) By the arrival of Miss Delia Ashcroft In Albany today the family of K. H. Ashcroft. of this city, was reunited fo' the first time in 12 years. It was the first time Ashcroft had seen his daugh ter since she was 3 years old. and back of their separation lies a story of the parting of a husband and wife through unusual circumstances and their meet ing again under conditions more re markable. Twelve years ago Ashcroft, then re siding in Portland, joined the rush for gold to Alaska. He left his wife and daughter in Portland, and, though both husband and wife tried to communicate with each other. Ashcroft traveled from place to place In Alaska and mails to and from the interior were lost so fre quently that neither recieved the oth er's letters. Mrs. Ashcroft came to the conclusion that her husband had perished with the hundreds of others who met death in the north during the gold excitement, and Ashcroft. believing his letters were unanswered, decided his wife had aban doned him, so he remained in Alaska several years. Mrs. Ashcroft, being unable to care for her little daughter while working to support herself, sent tne mtie gin to the home of her parents in South Dakota and the girl has resided with j her grandparents since that time. Mrs. -Ashcroft went to Salem to work, and after several years succeeded in Buying a little piece of land and a house. She was making payments on it when she became ill and a long sickness forced her to give up the home. In the meantime Ashcroft had re turned to Oregon and obtained a posi tion as cook in the Oregon School for ( Deaf Mutes in Salem. He was working , but a few miles away from his wife for I six months and during the time she 1 was ill. but neither knew of the other's whereabouts. One-day Mrs. Ashcroft! happened to accompany a friend on a i visit to the school and met her husband. Explanations resulted in their reunit- j ing. They moved to Albany about three months ago. As both were In poor cir- : eumstances when they met they decld- a tn leave their daughter with her i grandparents until they could care for her properly and sent for her a few days ago. w i t h the Southern Pacific Company for traffic arrangements.
