The melodrama had its thrills, and possibly there may be subse-q-.ient Action of interest Meads and Sheriff Wilson had visited Clackamas station Wednesday night where they met the Portland bootlegger, whose wife, incidentally had boarded the train at Oregon City. Nothing happen ed, bowevera. no mysterious passen gers left the train, no gurgling suit cases were put off, and the Portland bootlegger and his wife drove quietly away. Thursday night Oflcer Meads was again on outpost duty at Clackamas station. Jusi. as the Frisco train came around the bend, an auto swung in near tha station. The train paused for a moment only and then started on. The machine driver gave three or four sharp "honks" and the myster ious gentleman from Frisco, bearing two suitcases, appeared and entered the waiting auto. Then it was that Officer Meads took a hand In the affair. He placed the entire party under arrest and ordered them to driva to Oregon City. "It's all right,- said Teeter. ' I'm a Portland policeman. We've got the man." With his usual persuasiveness, how ever. Meads insisted on the three driving to Oregon City. Sergeant Thatcher was called and he informed the local cfflcer that he had detailed Tester to visit Clackamas station with the bootlegger, who was turning states evidence. It is understood this man is out on bail for violating the prohibition law at the present time. As a sequel, promptly at 10:30 Friday morning Attorney Plowden Stott appeared in behalf of the jailed man, Bauer, The prisoner had denied that he knew any of the party at the station, so the wireless telepathy that brought a Portland lawyer to his res cue, with ample funds for bail, is another little mystery. Bauer made no effort to communicate with any one while In Jail. He waa released upon giving $150 bail for his appear ance here next Tuesday. As the Portland bootlegger was under the protection of Sergeant Thatcher, no complaint was issued for his arrest. Bauer admitted coming in on the train and getting off at the station with the booze, but stated he did so at the reques of the porter.

Disap pointment In Germany over the lack of success ot the submarine campaign Is pictured as severe In dispatches yes terday from Switzerland. Bitter criti cism of the admiralty, the dispatch says, has followed the realization that the undersea war Is not accomplishing what was claimed tor it In the begin ning. One dispatch says: "The accounts In the Berlin papers of the recent debates lot It be clearly perceived In spite of the censor the severity of the criticisms which have come to light. The Germun admiralty was attacked by the deputies of almost every party, while Admiral von Capolle had constantly to resort to the plea of extenuating circumstances for the powerlessness of the German navy to obtain the results calculated." 1 ! 4 i '" ' , ry.i IE'' ' t,V; It b tin r ji v'r -' ly.vi. , i 1 JOHN DILLOI4 When Premier Lloyd George, In his sneech puiilnlniW the battle of Plcardy, spoke of conscription of the Irish, the two most prominent Irish leaders in parliament shouted at him that it , was Impossible.

Referring to the address yesterday of Senator Polndextor of Washington, which sttld Seattle labor loaders were fomenting a strlhs In behalf nf Moonpy, Senator l'helun said the la bor press had charged that Mooney wn being "railroaded" and that his conviction was a "legal ontraaV "This Is not true." said Senator Pholnu. "Thers was nothing Irreg ular In the court proceedlngM, He hud a fnlr trial.' When Senator Photon suld ' ht thought Senator Poltidexter had re flected on California's courts In con nection with Mooney's trial, tho Wash Inttton senator said he was entirely mistaken and thut he, Senator Poln dexter, had defended the California courts, The president's Interference In be half ot Mooney, Senator I'helnn as serted, was justified in order to vin dicate the I'nltud States and regu larity and fairness of Mooney's treat ment "In view of the dojbt of his guilt credited In the minds ot many people." Senator Phelsn said Mooney waa an "unworthy man," and that the newspspers of which he had b en editor had "threatened President Wil son with assassination." "It Is not for us to try this esse In the snato," Senator Phelan con tinued. "Both myself and the junior senator (Senator Johnson.) have been aakml to bring It up with a view to a congressional Investigation, but wo refused." The report of the labor commission beaded by Secretary Wilson, whlrli Investigated the Mooney case, vouch ed for the fairness of Mooney's trial. Senator Phelsn said.

A motion by Senator Phelan thnt the Wilson commission's report bo printed In the reiord wus defu.and by the inut , however. The Cali fornia member asked (lint It be print ed as an "answer" to Senator Polo deiters address, but both Senators I'olndexter and Smoot disclaimed thst any reflection had been made upon California's judlcliit processes. Senator l'helun declared that In labor circles there Is no sympathy for Mooney and that he Is regarded as a "very dangerous man ttecuusj of bis previous record." "I believe Mooney ami his associ ates were victims of their own cu pidity and that they wero bribed by German mouey to perpetrate this crime," tne laiuoriun senator as sorted, adding thnt he regretted very much that the "labor Intercut of the country should have a misconception of the crime."

WASHINGTON, April IS. Dlractor General McAdoo Is about to clip 1, 000,000 miles a month from the total mllcano traveled by passenger trains west of the Mississippi river. Tho revolutionary ch.-inge, besides releasing, scores of locomotives for hauling war necessities, Is directly In line, with McAdoo's policy of econ omy In operation of the national rail ways. It will placa passenger service on a strictly war . basis. Ono train practically will be doing the work nf two, it is said. Constant calls for speed in bundling materials needed In the prosecution of the wiir has forced tho transporta tion of passengers to b3 given second ary consideration. Ilecmt elimination of "suporflouoiis trains'' east of the Mississippi river has provided a basis for the rearrangement of train sched ules In other sections. The plun, which will be announced shortly, is expoct- ed to uffoct the entire West. Transcontinental trains no longer will be permitted to carry half filled coaclns. And they will make more stops since contemplated changes will eliminate numerous local trains. The number of trains from coast Iff coast will be fewer. 8ACKAMK.SIO, Cul.. April 84.
