GOVERNOR HAS TILT
WITH BAKER JUROR
When Demand Is Sent for Mr.
Lawson's Appearance Charge
Made Against Prosecutor.
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.

Y. M. C. A. Membership Con
test Closes at 7 P. 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.

Washington Would Return

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.
