He was the first one shot. He had scarcely fallen to the ground w hen the second man was lined up In front of the denl body nnd shot. As tho third man faced the frightened sciuad, he looked at his dead companions, nun terod a prayer, and then said calmly to the captain: "Shoot when you 'ike; good bye, comrades."

WAR SECRETARY GARRISON QUITS WILSON CABINET COOL RECEPTION OP CONTINENT AL ARMY PLAN PRINCIPAL CAUSE OP ACT. ASSISTANT SECRETARY THROUGH LOYALTY TO HIS CHIEF RESICNS Major-Oantral Scott, Chief of Staff of Army, Becomta Secretary ad In terim Prtaident Expected to Direct Oefente Plana. WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 Secretary Mndley M. Oarriaon resigned today because Preaident Wllaon would not "Irrevocably" support the continental army plan and beeaute he opposed the administration's program of setting a definite tun. for Philippine Indepen dence. President Wila accepted the res ignation and has not aelected a sue cettor The pretldent himself pro ably will take personal charge of the adniimetratlon'a natloual defense plana in congreaa. Asalatant Secretary ilreckenridge al so returned as a mark of loyalty to hit chief, wboae vlewa be abared. The preaident accepted hla resignation Roth take effect Immediately. Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the army, automatically becomes secretary of war ad interim. It It known that one of Secretary Garrison principal reasons for hla conviction tbat only a federal contl nental army, lneiead of a reorganlxed National Guard, could be the main mil itary dependence of tbe nation waa his belief tbat some day the United Slates may be called on to defend the Mon roe doctrine and in the event he fore aaw the National Guard might not be available for use outside of the United Statea before a declaration of war. On the contention on the one hand that the continental army or, ultimate ly, unlveraal service waa the nation's only reliance, and the position, on the other, that no oue plan could be forced on congress. President Wilson and his secretary of war parted official com pany. Mr. Garrison's resignation was a complete surprise to official Washing ton generally. He made no personal explanation. Several hours before the official announcement he had boarded a train, with his wife, for New York and word had been passed at the de partment that he had gone for an In definite stay. The acute differences of opinion which led to the break, began early in the year, when opposition to the con tencntal army plan began developing In congress. There had been Indefi nite rumors of the possibility that the secretary of war would leave tin cab inet, but they never were counte nanced In official quarters. The sec retary everywhere was regarded as one of the strong men of tho administra tion, on whom 'he president leaned in the difficult situations, both domestic and international, which have marked his administration. A representative of Llbby Packing company, spenklng at The Dalles urged farmers to raise more vegetables as well as fruit to keep cannery running most of year. VERDICT IN SUIT OF E. P.

River eervicea In all dlrectlooa out of Port land will be in regular running order by the end of the week.

According to CapU'-n Kaot Craw ford of the steamer Jess c Harklns the Columbia between tbe mouth of the Willamette and Waahougal.ls filled again today with beavy floes of ice. It la believed to be the laat of the Cape ' Horn Jam and will, it la expected, be lout of tm way by tomorrow morning.

HA2ELL PLEADS NOT GUILTY BEFORE THE FEDERAL COURT OREGON CITY MAN RELEASED FROM BANKRUPTCY COURT RESULT PROBLEMATICAL. PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 12. Jesse Hazell, president of the defunct North western association, pleaded not guilty, before Federal Judge Wolverton today. Hazell Is under indictment, charged with using the mails to defraud. The indictment states that as1 head of the association he sold contracts whereby purchasers were to receive fully de veloped and cultivated orchards near Oregon City. The company was to plant and tend the orchards until ma turity. The prices ranged from ?300 to $500 an acre. Most of the contracts were sold to eastern people of small means. The Indictment charges that Hazell never made any attempt to ful fill the terms of the contracts. Hazell was notified today that he had been discharged as a bankrupt. As the indletmfnt charges that during all the time the Northwestern associa tion was operated, the concern was en tirely insolvent, Just what effect Ha zell's discharge from bankruptcy will have Is problematical. According to the federal authorities who have the Hazell case in charge the career of the Northwestern asso ciation left a trial of tragedy. Of these the greatest was the suicide of Charles Holme. Hohne Is said to bave killed him self after he came to Oregon and found he could not make a living on tbe acreage he bad paid his savings for. Postoffice Inspector Linebaugh has ob tained Information that on the morn ing of his suicide he went to the office of the Northwestern association three times, looking for Hazell. Hazell, however, had been arrested and was In jail in Portland. It is be lieved that bis arrest saved his life. Although In jail unable to give bonds since December, Hazell has made no statement of what sort of a defease he will put up. ft g TREMBATH qavchm CTAiin hf OHIUUIiUlttliLMIL IS NOT CITIZEN MAN WHO WAS ONCE SHERIFF OP CLACKAMAS COUNTY ADMITS HE IS ENGLISHMAN. DEPUTY SHERIFF REGISTERED AS NATIVE Of OREGON, BOOKS SHOW Caae May Involve Legality of Several Actions In Which Trembath Haa Served Papers Investigation by Grand Jury Possible. Harry W. Trembath, deputy theril and for a few montha aberiff of Clack amaa counlv. Wednesday ac noV edged that he was born In Cornwall. Kntland. and waa not a dun n or tne United Stales. Trembath was a verifying wltneea for Adam I.. Wllklnaon. an applicant for final citizenship papers. Hla case waa originally set for February 7. bot waa postponed to February 10 on ac count of Illness of Trembath. A sec ond postponement waa necessary on account of the continued illness of Mr. Trembath and the caae waa set for Wedneaday. Henry II. Haxard. naturalization ex aminer, put Trembath on the aland rnimlderable evidence lndica:lng that Trembath waa born tn England and bad never been naturalized, U tatd to tuve been in the bands of tbe federal examiner, but Trembath admitted on the stand that he waa not a citizen Naturalization Examiner Hazard in tended to continue his examination of Trembath. but Judge Campbell de clared that further uiiesllculng waa unnecessary, that the matter now waa one for action by the grand Jury. Tbe application of Wilkinson was denied without preiudlce. "If you want your fee back, youll bave to rely on your friend. TremUath. to get It," Hazard told Wilkinson, referring to the lee charged for filing an application for second papers. Wilkin ...i can make a second application and probably artll be given papers In t'me to vote at tbe fall election. Trembath registered, the records in the office of County Clerk Harrington show, a born in Oregon. Action either on a slate or federal charge Is declared possible. Trembath has been conected with the Clackamas county sheriffs office several times during his residence In -the county. In 1906, Sheriff John R Shaver was killed several months be fore his term expired, and Harry Trem bath. who was then constable and deDutv sheriff, was appointed by the county court to fill the unexpired term. The Clackamas county grand Jury now Is in session, and the case may be taken up before the end of the week. Sheriff Wilson took Trembath's .I..., nr. Rherifr rnmmiflsinn awav from him as soon as be learned that the latter was not a citizen. He was sur prised at the testimony of Trembath. and said he always thought he was a citizen. "Few persons knew that Trembath was born in England and was not a citizen of this county," said Sheriff Wilson Wednesday night. "I took away his commission ns deputy as soon as I learned what his testimony was. The case has several features, one of which is of particular importance. Mr. Trembath has been serving lapers as deputy sheriff, and the validity of cases lu which he has acted In this of ficial capacity has been qeestioned. Several local attorneys, who have had Important cases during the last year, will look up the matter at once. THREE SUITS FILED T COURT FRANK BUSCH INSTITUTES AC TION TO COLLECT BILL MRS.
