SUBSTITUTE IS REJECTED Mr. West Says : Refusal to Accept Testimony ot Another Is Plot or District Attorney to Play Into Partner's Hand. SALEM. Or.. March 20. (Special.) After an exchange of telegrams -with the District Attorney and foreman of the Baker County grand jury. Governor West declared tonight that Colonel B. X. Lawson. who was In charge of the raid on the Copperneld saloons, would not go to Baker to testify before the grand jury regarding obscene pictures taken from one of the saloons. Alleging that It was a scheme of At torney Nichols, who was formerly Dis trict Attorney Godwin's law partner, to get Colonel Lawson to Baker, to eerve papers - on him in the civil suit brought by the saloonmen, the Gov ernor said that Colonel Lawson's testi mony was not necessary. He further announced that he had offered to send Frank Snodgrass, one of Colonel Law son's men during the reign of martial law in Copperfield, but that Bird Spaul ding, foreman of the jury, had wired that it did not want Snodgrass' testi mony. Tart Message Sent. The Governor today sent Mr. Spaul lng a red-hot message asking why Snodgrass was not wanted. The tele gram in part follows: "Why doesn't grand jury want to hear Snodgrass1? He is witness through whom this office expects to prove ex hibition obscene pictures by Copper field saloons; also fact that houses of prostitution were allowed to run wide open in Baker and that Godwin and Hand had full knowledge of fact. In line with his past conduct of using his office to aid Nichols, attorney for gam blers and booze peddlers. Godwin . wishes to have Lawson subpenaed and brought to Baker at the expense of the taxpayers of your county in order tnat Nlchos may serve him with papers in civil action." District Attorney Godwin had In formed the Governor that the grand jury would reconvene March 24 to hear Colonel Lawson's testimony if he could be in Baker at that time, the Governor replying that Snodgrass would go to Baker instead. It was after this in formation was received that the fore man of the grand jury wired Mr. West: "Grand Jury does not want Snodgrass. If Lawson cannot appear we will give your 'matter the consideration it de serves." Picture Given Grand Jury. Governor West said tonight that Col enel Lawson was out of the city when the subpena was sent here for him and that he was at present too busy to go to Baker when his presence there was not necessary. Colonel Lawson said he did not intend to go to Baker at present and that Snodgrass would not go unless the grand Jury changed Its mind. The obscene pictures, which It Is al leged were taken from a Copperneld saloon, were given to the Governor when the state troops returned from Copperneld. The Governor forwarded them to Circuit Judge Anderson, who turned the package over to the grand jury without opening them. KMEZEVICH, INDICTED, ESCAPES Man Who Started Copperfield Fuss Reported Fugitive From Justice. BAKER, Or.. March 20. (Special.) Startling charges against District At torney Godwin by Governor West to day, accusing the District Attorney of attempting to get Colonel Lawson to Baker on a grand jury subpena as a pretext to enable his former law part ner, James Nichols, to get service in a civil suit, were answered by a demand telegraphed tonight to Governor West by Bird Spalding, foreman of the grand Jury, that Colonel Lawson come to Baker. Mr. Spaldihg told the Governor that Lawson was wanted in a ""certain Copperneld case and that was why he had been subpenaed. He told the Gov ernor the grand jury would be glad to hear Mr. Snodgrass if he had any testi mony and said the charges against Mr. Godwin and Sheriff Rand would be In vestigated if the Governor would fur nish evidence. This action was in reply to a mes sage today from the Governor reply ing to the grand jury's demand that Colonel Lawson appear here as a wit ness In obscene picture case against William Wiegand, of Copperfield. The grand Jury took a recess tonight after returning three true bills, the na ture of which was not divulged. Wit nesses from Huntington were heard chiefly today, although the grand Jurors gave considerable attention to the west episode. The next three days will be devoted to drawing indictments by the District Attorney, after which the grand Jury will reconvene March 24. Martin Knezevich, indicted by the grand jury, has not been arrested and presumably has avoided arrest for the time at least by crossing Snake River from Copperfield into Idaho. " Word from Copperneld today was that Kneze vich anticipated the action of the grand jury and had packed his belongings and left the town several days ago and crossed over into Idaho. Ed Hannon, City Marshal of Hunt ington, and a special deputy sheriff, went down the river from Huntington yesterday to arrest the saloon man in dicted for gambling and selling liquor to minors and he found that his quarry was gone. His wife left several days ahead of him and now the man who started the petitions which resulted in Governor West's scoop on Copperneld with the militia is without the pale of the law, at least until he can be located and extradition obtained. No word has been received from Sheriff Rand, who went to Pine Valley yesterday to arrest Jesse Adrian and Morris Sullivan on indictments charg ing them with bootlegging.

M. 91,373 POINTS DAY'S SCORE F. X. Clark's Men Report 54,600 Points for 24 Hours, Leaving J. E. Werlein's Team Far Be hind on Day's Result. Yesterday was the most successful day in the week in the membership contest of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association, and the teams will go out today encouraged to make a big showing before the campaign ends at 7 o clock -tonight. At the membership dinner last night it de veloped that 91,373 points had been scored during the day, and it was ad mitted by several of the teams that they were holding back part of their results. Today's results may equal the aggregate gains of the six preceding days. F. N. Clark's side last night reported 54,200 points for the day, leaving J. E. Werlein's men far behind on the day's results and coming within striking distance of them for the weekly total. Up to last night it was almost con ceded that the Werlein team had led by so large a margin that it would not be overtaken. Now the week's score in its favor stands at 178,885 to 161, 355, and the Clark side last night was jubilant. C. N. Wonacott. coach for Clark's division, last night said that his men had enough gains In sight to win the contest unless the opponents should develop considerably greater strength than is expected. Besides the honor of winning, the successful side is to be entertained at a turkey ban quet at which the losers will wait on the tables. Walter Krupke has a big lead in the individual race for points and in all probability will win the gold watch that has been offered for first prize. Mr. Krupke has a score of 41,950. R. L. Turner and H. L. Grubb are next in order with 21,150 and 19,350 points, respectively. Watch fobs have been offered as second and third prizes. Wives of some of the canvassers have become so much Interested in the contest that they have been calling up General Secretary Stone to ask if there is anything they can do to help the campaign. Both Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Werlein were present at the dinner last evening. It will not be surprising if some of the canvassers' wives get out and join in the work, themselves today. The final report of the campaign will be made at a dinner to be held this evening. It is expected that every man who has been active in the can vass will be present at that time.

PUBLIC USE IS PROTECTED State in Mapping Out Conservation Programme Decides Xot to Sell Clam or Oyster Beds, but Leasing May Result. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) A definite start toward conser vation of state resources was made by the State Land Board today, adopting in entirety recommendations for the handling of tidelands as submitted by State Forester Ferris, a member of the Board. The programme decided upon looks toward turning all tidelands contain ing clam beds over to the state fisheries department, to be made a revenue-producing asset, except for a number to be reserved in perpetuity for the use of the public. The resolutions adopted also declare it to be the policy of the state to sell no tidelands that might be suitable for oyster culture until these can be investigated by the State Oyster Commission. No further sales of first-class tide lands, those wlthlrt the borders of in corporated cities, will be made, accord ing to the resolution. Instead, the next Legislature will be asked to provide for long term leases, with provision for readjusting the rental at five-year periods. Second-class tidelands will be sold only to the owners of uplands, except for commercial or industrial purposes, and then the upland owners must be given right of ingress and egress over the tidelands to and from the water. These provisions are to prevent the bottling up of upland owners by per sons buying tidelands for speculation. Dry Leader to Vlult Chrhalis. CHEHALIS. Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Laura S.
