LODGE RESOLUTION, MORE EX
PLICIT THAN MONROE DOC
TRINE, IS ADOPTED
ONLY FOUR VOTES CAST AGAINST IT I
Country Will Not Allow Naval Or
Military Sites Pass Into Con
trol Of Foreign Cor
porations WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 The Unit
ed States Senate issued a warning to
day to the nations of the world
against encroachment upon the conti
nents of North and South America.
The United States will not see
"without grave concern," said the Sen
ate any suitable naval or military site
pass into control of a foreign corpor
ation, when such possession might
threaten the communcation or the
safety of the United States.'
So vital were the issues discussed
in the Lodge resolution, which set
forth the policy of the United States,
as to points situated like Magdalena
Bay, in Lower California, that the
doors of the Senate were closed for
three hours while the resolution was
debated in secret session.
It finally passed with only four votes
against it. Notwithstanding the com
parative unanimity of the Senate up
on the note of warning, it is under
stood the measure did not have the
official indorsement of the Administra
tion. It was framed entirely outside
the State Department and it is under
stood the executive branch of the Gov
ernment was not consulted with re
gard to the Senate's pronouncement.
The resolution arose from the re
ported attempt of a Japanese syndi
cate to secure land about Magdalena
Bay. In the form finally adopted by
the Senate it declares against the ac
quisition of any threatening location
by a foreign corporation, "which has
such a relation to another government
not American as to give that govern
ment practical power of control for
naval or military purposes."

testimony also was favorable to the
accused policeman. The controversy
started over the escape of a man

hearing of Policeman S. R. Green,

son. ed men had insulted his daughter and
her escort while they were standing
at the foot of the stairway to their
home above the Wells-Fargo Express
Office.
The offenders had left when Green
arrived but they were traced to the
Southern Pacific station. Stinson, his
daughter and her escort Ralph Coup
accompanied Green to the station and
pointed out the men. One of them
was said to have drawn a pistol on
the couple as they passed the steps.
Green declares that he searched the
man accused of having drawn a pis
tol and found two bottles of whisky in
his pockets. Green told the men they
were under arrest and started to the
jail with them. He says he asked
Stinson and Coup to assist him. This
the others deny, but they went to the
jail and just as Green was unlocking
the door one of the men escaped.
Green said he heard the next day
that Stinson blamed him for allowing
the man to escape. He met Stinson
in the evening in front of the city hall
and catching him by the arm led him
up the alley. An excited conversa
tion occurred and finally Green struck
Stinson. The policeman says he on
ly struck one blow, but Stinson and
others testified that more blows were
struck. Dr. Ford, who was a witness,
said only one blow was struck. Stin
son filed the following complaint
against Green with the Council Com
mittee on Police and Mayor Dimick:
"That on the night of July 25, he,
the said S. R. Green, under pretense
of wanting to communicate something
to me, took me by the shoulder and
led me from Main street easterly on
the alley on which the jail is situated
to a point just-behind the firehouse,
there called me an opprobrious name
and proceeded to beat me with his
fists.
"That during all of said time the
said S. R. Green was acting as police-
man of Oregon City and had on his
star of office, and did all that he did
without excuse, reason or provocation
and with malice.
"That during said time I would not
and did not defend myself for the rea
son that he was an officer and had his
star on, and he, during all of said
time, knew that I would not defend
myself for those reasons.'
Stinson, the first witness, related
how the drunken men had insulted his
daughter and Coup and how Green
had arrested them. He, however, in

the pistol and that the policeman did
not ask him and Coup to assist in the
arrest, but instead told them their ser
vices were not needed. He testified
that he ran several blocks after the
fleeing man. Stinson said the next
evening he was talking to J. E. Hill
in front of the city hall when Green
accosted him and called him a name.
Then Green called him more names
and struck him six or seven times.
Stinsoh told about Dr. Ford leading
him away and telling Green he "must
not strike the witness again. The
witness said he had drunk about
three glasses of beer in the afternoon.
Frank Beck, proprietor of the Port
land Hotel, testified that Green called
Stinson a name and struck him twice.
He said Dr. Ford rushed down the al
ley and said to Green, "That mustn't
be allowed." Dr. Ford led Stinson
away. Hill, who was talking with
Stinson when Green approached, said
that the policeman asked Stinson why
he was making the disturbance about
the prisoner getting away. Green
said, according to the witness, "If you
had anything to say why didn't you
come to me"? Hill testified that Stin
son retorted, "Why didn't you take
hold of those fellows like a man."
Green then led Stinson up the alley

of course did not see any blows
struck.
Agnes Stinson, daughter of the
prosecuting witness told of the arrest
of the men and what led up to Police;
man Green being called.Coup, her es
cort repeated the story, and when
pressed by Gordon E. Hayes, who rep
resented Green, said so far as he
knew the policeman did his duty. He
denied, however, that Green asked
him and Stinson to assist in the ar
rest.
"I was on my way to prayer meeting
when I passed the alley and saw the
commotion," said Dr. Ford. "I saw
Green take Stinson up the alley but
heard no conversation. I asked by
standers if Stinson was drinking and
was told he was not. I was informed
that Stinson had accused Green of al
lowing a prisoner to get away. Both
men were excited and Green finally
struck Stinson on the jaw. I saw on
ly one blow struck. I rushed up to
the men and said to Green, 'That wTU
never do.' Green said, 'I will allow
no man to call me that name.' I said
to Green, 'You can arrest him but you
can not beat him up.' . I then led Stin
son away. Policeman Frost came up
before we left."
Policeman Green said that he
searched the man Stinson, his daught
er and Coup said "had the gun and
found two bottles of whisky in his
pockets. - He declared that he depu
tized the two men to assist in making
the arrests. He explained that while
he was opening the jail door one of
the men escaped. He could only
watch one man and thought Stinson
and Coup were watching the other one
"I heard the next day that Stinson
was blaming me for allowing the man
to escape," said the witness, "and
when I saw Stinson I aske him about
it. He called Shaw and Frost bad
names and said he had no used for eith

alley, and when I suggested that I Bad
deputized him and Coup to watch the
man who escaped he called me a bad
name, and I knocked him against the
fence. I struck him only once."

TO BE DISBANDED
GENERAL STAFF DECIDES AC
TION WILL BE PENALTY
FOR MUTINY
NEW ORGANIZATION TO BE FORMED
Officers, Who Disobeyed Orders, Will
Be Eliminated Court-Martial
Probably Won't Be
Necessary
PORTLAND, Aug. 2. By unanimous
vote this morning the General Staff of
the Oregon National Guard, voted to
disband the Second Battalion, Third
Regiment, officers and men.
This drastic course was taken to
punish the organization for the dis
obedience which resulted in the arrest
of Major R. O. Scott, Captains Harry
E. Williams and Walter E. Tooze and
Lieutenants Richard Deich and Harry
C. Brumbaugh, pursuant to orders of
Brigadier-General M. P. Maus, because
of reported refusal to march from Oak
ville to Gate, and for the language
used by the five officers in addressing
General Maus during the recent man
euvers. So far as the Oregon National Guard
goes, this brings the sensational event
to a close. By ordering disbandment,
the General Staff felt that its course
would show the proper purpose to
maintain discipline, and would also
sufficiently punish all who had been
guilty of mutinous or seditious conduct
during the field maneuvers closing last
week.
Orders were also issued to Adjutant
General Finzer to start at once to or
ganize another Second Battalion for
the regiment. As the disbandment or
der is intended to apply only to such
officers and men as were guilty of the
offenses charged, in the reorganiaztion
all who have not been under charges,
or who may not subject themselves to
charges before the final mustering out
occurs, would be held eligible for re
admission into the service. This ar
rangement is intended to protect those
officers and men who have not been
guilty of any breach of discipline.
While the general staff, which has
final power up to the realm of the
Governor, issued the order of disband
ment today, a little time will be re
quired for the Adjutant-General to
carry the order into effect. Until this
executive order has been issued, in
obedience to the command of the gen
eral staff, the Second Battalion will
continue a member of the Guard.
"All members of the general staff be
lieved disbandment the proper proce
dure," said Adjutant-General Finzer
following the announcement of the or
der. "While the men under arrest or
those that might later violate the reg
ulations, coud yet be tried, before I
carry out the disbandment order, as
the case now stands we believe that
all who are guilty are sufficiently pun
ished without a courtmartial sentence
If it became necessary, we could yet
hold the court-martial before disband
ment, but I do not think it will be
necessary,
