DISOBEDIENCE
HEARING THUS FAR IS FRUITLESS
Majority Of Witnesses. Deny Allega
tion That General Maus
Was Under Influence
Of Liquor
SALEM, Or., Aug.' 20. Through a
long drawn-out day and late into the
night, a battle waged in the Execu
tive office before 'Governor West to
day between the alleged mutineers of
the maneuvers at Gate, Wash., a few
weeks ago and membersof the gen
eral staff of the Oregon National
Guard, who have accused them of mu
tiny and have ousted them from the
Second Battalion Third Infantry, of
which they were a part.
With a record that will fill several
hundreds of pages the hearing so far
has brought no concrete result, as Gov
ernor West, at its close failed to make
a decision and-would not say how
soon he will determine the fate of
these men.
One of the principal features
brought out was the declaration on
the part of the Governor that he in
tends to take the Army heavy march
ing equipment, weighing 43 pounds
for a man, that caused the trouble
when the Second Battalion refused to
march from Gate to Oakville and with
this same Army equipment make a
march of a similar distance to deter
mine how far an average human be
ing should walk under these condi
tions without protesting.
The entire investigation proved to
be a series of recriminations and re
citals of the deeds of valor which
were done on the field of maneuvers.
Pleas were made by Major R. O.
Scott, Captains Tooze and Williams
and Lieutenants Deich and Brum
baugh, al of whom were dismissed
from service. Their stories were
much the same. A forced march on
Saturday, deploys through the moun
tains, swimming the Black River
three times, a long march through
stumps, brush and barbed wire fences
all to end at Gate, with an order to
pack up and march back five miles to
Oakville, was the substance of the
story.
Throughout the hearing the name
of General Maus was frequetnly men
tioned and each of the witnesses was
asked if the General was intoxicated
on that day or showed signs of intox
ication, as has been alleged in a Port
land paper.
All but a few denied that he was.
Lieutenant Deich, under strong pro
test, said he believed General Maus
was. either drunk or excited. He at
. first declined to testify, as he said
he is bailiff of a grand jury which
probably will be called upon to decide
whether there should be indictments
on criminal libel icharges for state
ments printed as to General Maus.
SALVATION ARMY
FOUMRIS DEAD
LONDON, Aug
died tonight.
20. General Booth
LONDON, Aug. 20. Weakened by
a night of restlessness and with his
mind wandering, the condition of Gen
eral William Booth, head of the Sal
vation Army, is much worse) today.
Physicians say his death is but a mat
ter of a few hours.
In the event of General Booth's
death, it is regarded as practically
certain that Bramwell Booth will suc
ceed his father in command of the
Salvation Army. This, however, will
not be definitely known until Gener
al Booth's will is opened.
In referring here today to his fath
er's illness Bramwell Booth said:
"Father undoubtedly is dying. He is
beyond speech now but his last mes
sage to members of the Salvation Ar
my throughout the country was:
" His promises are sure if you be
lieve.' "Father spoke his) last intelligible
word Friday when he said to me :
" 'Do not worry. Let me die. I want
to go to Heaven.'
"The general is grieving because
there has been no reconciliation with
his eon, Ballington, from whom no
word of sympathy or interest has
been received."
If it happened it is In the Enter
prise. Public Demonstration
You are invited to call at
Demonstrating rooms 1 and 2,
Beaver Building and inspect
the Pure Food Kitchenette. We
want to place a few more in the
homes of Oregon City, and have
made arrangements with the
merchants by which you can

a limited number to place. So

JUVENILE FAIRS
TO BE NEXT WEEK
TEN EXHIBITIONS PLANNED FOR
CLACKAMAS COUNTY IN
BIG COMPETITION
STATE SUPERINTENDENT TO ATTEND
Merchants Of Oregon City And Other
Parts Of County Offer Fine
Prizes To Prize
winners Ten juvenile fairs will be held in
Clackamas County next Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Superin
tendent of County Schools Gary has
sent out circular letters, of which the
following is a part, describing the I
work:
"At these fairs will be shown the
products of the labor and intelligence
of the boys and girls of the county.
There will be displays of vegetables,
grain, furniture, toys, bread, jelly,
mending, sewing, flowers and various I
other things that have been raised or I
made by the youth of the county.
"That the people appreciate the im
portance of the work is shown in the
many generous prizes that are offer
ed. The prizes from the ten fairs ag
gregate more than thirteen hundred
dollars.
The business people have more
than done their part in the giving of
prizes, the superintendent of the var
ious fairs have given much time and
energy in promoting the interests of
the fairs, most of the teachers did
what they could, will you encourage
the young folks and those who have I
cione so mucn ior tnem Dy visiting tne
fair nearest your home or others if
you can and give a word of encour
agement wherever you can honestly
give it?
"State Superintendent, L. R. Ald
erman, has accepted the invitation to
visit all the fairs and address the pgo
ple. President Kerr, of the Oregon
Agricultural College has also promis
ed to come if he can get' away from
his work, if not he will send a man
to represent the college.
"The fairs promise to be a success
everywhere and in some places they
are going to be events long to be. re
membered. '
"The fairs at Sandy, Estacada, and
Logan will be held Tuesday, August
27. Sandy will have a street parade
at 11 o'clock with music by the or
chestra. The fifteen districts partic
ipating wil each have a float in the
parade. The crowd will then enjoy
a basket dinner, after which there
will be speaking by Clifton McArthur
of Portland. The prizes will then be
awarded and the day closed by a so
cial dance at night.
"The detailed program from Esta
cada is not in but Estacada never
does things by halves and you may be
assured that you, will have a good
time if you visit the fair there.
"Logan is one of best farming parts
of the County. The writer visited
that section recently and found much
interest. There is no good reason
why Logan should not capture some
of the prizes at the State Fair.
"Clarkes will also make a good
showing, the plan there is to have
each school compete against the oth
er schools of the fair district. The
local pride and patriotism will be a
spur to best endeavor. They are
contemplating building a pavilion for
annual displays of this kind.
"Molalla has for several years past
held juvenile fairs in connection with
the annual Grange Fair, therefore the
young folks having had experience
will know how to do things about
right. The people of Molalla are
most loyal to their school and every
thing that is good for the community
and therefore there will be no doubt
about the success of this enterprise.
"Canby, the home of the County
Fair will hold the juvenile fair in the
Clackamas County Fair Pavilion and
will have an attractive ball game dur
ing the day.
"The Commercial Club of Oregon
City has generously given the beaut
iful club rooms for the fair at that
place. -There is a live interest in -the
schools of the districts abo.ut Oregon
City, the large number of children in
the fair district should insure an ex:
tensive display.
"The interest at Wilsonville is
most commendable. Doors will open
at 9 o'clock and there will be some
thing of interest all day and evening.
There will be speakers from the O. A.
C. and elsewhere and a musical and
literary program by the people of the
district.
"Oswego has the disadvantage of
having a very small fair district, but
they are not daunted by difficulties
and are going to have a very com
mendable display and a royal good
time.
"The fair at Milwaukie, because of
the large number of children inter
ested and the complete organization
of the forces will no doubt be a pro
nounced success. The fair will be
held in beautiful Crystal Lake Park.
There will be a ball game in the morn
ing, speaking by Mr. A. E. Wood of
Reed College, and others: music bv
the Oak Grove Girl's Band, and var
ious omer attractions.
"There will be competent and im
partial judges to judge the general
exhibitgj and award the twenty-five
dollar prizes from each of the Oregon
City bands, the suits of clothes from
Price Brothers, and from Levitt & Co.
the Dimick corn prize, and the Gard
ner muskmelon prize. These judges
will accompany the state superintend
ent. The other exhibits will be jud
ged by local judges.

Commercial Club there will be a Eu-

Presidency. GOVERNOR TO CLEM
IIP PORTLAND NEXT
SALEM, Or. Aug. 20. Routing vice
from its haunts in Redmond and
Huntington has been but preliminary
to the real fight Governor West is
preparing in his law enforcement
campaign. He is now ready to tackle
The
the biggest job in the state.
next town his list is the city of Port- j
land. j
Last night the city council of Red-'
mond telegraphed the governor that
the resignations of Mayor Jones and
City Marshal McClay had been accep
ted and new officials would be ap
pointed. Justice of the Peace Wood!
at Huntington also resigned immedi
ately, so the state is cleaned for new
action.
When asked today where he would
strike next, the governor said:
"I'm going to clean up Portland
next."
He said he did not refer merely to
roadhouses, but to the city itself. He
said he did not care to discuss his
plans, except to say he was prepared
to shake the metropolis to its found
ations unless the laws were enforced
there.
" It is to be presumed that his line of
procedure will not vary greatly from"
his attacks on; smaller places. This
being true, the matter of law enforce
ment will undoubtedly be put square
ly up to Mayor Rushlight and Chief
of Police Slover, as well as Sheriff
Stevens and county officials. In his
campaigns the governor also never ov
erlooks the district attorney's office.
If these officials do not respond to
his' demands it is not at all unlikely
that the governor will demand their
resignations under threat of putting
the city under martial law. It is be
lieved he has been gathering evidence
on Portland for some time, as he has
made it a practice to be well prepar
ed for every showdown that' might
arise before opening fire on a city.
A small classified ad will rent that
vacant room.
