Captain Berry is charged with conduct -coming an of fleer and a gentleman, drmkwaaeea and gambling. The last two i hoi 1.1 1 however, are only secondary. fr Sne rlmvge of conduct unbecoming an offi cer Is tne result of an alleged attempt upon the part of Captain Berry to break taito the on bta of Mrs. Mack, wife of Lieu tenant )lak. of the artillery. The story of tote attegad lneult to the wife of a brother officer dates back to March last, -when Captain Berry was Captain-Quartermaster of the transport Sheridan, and bringing the Fourteenth Infantry the Orient. The Sheridan was on Its -way to San Francisco, and among Its pas sengers wa Mrs- Mack. The transport wo somewhere between Nagasaki and Honolulu, when one night the screams of a woman roused the cabin passengers. The arroantfi came from Mrs. Mack's cabin, and It to eJd that when help arrived they Captain Berry, scantily dressed, In of Mrs. Mack's cabin. An effort was made to hush the matter wp, nut friends of Lieutenant Mack would not be qtneted. and the affair was' brought to the attention of the War Department and a court-martial was ordered for Cap tain Berry The trial, which is being con ducted at Vancouver Barracks behind emend doors, began several months ago. nut becaucp some of the witnesses were not proeent It was postponed and recom menced today. Owing to the outrageous HMult which Captain Berry is said to have offer td Mrs. Mack, a great deal of bitter ntng naa arisen against him. Sides have been taken, and but for the restrictions ntaciaa upon the Hps of those who have boon Instrumental in bringing the charges against Captain Berry, the public would undoubtedly nave heard the full Inside to the Mory long before this. i Counsel Is Secretive. C S. S. Wood, of Portland, is defending Captakt Berry, but when the trial opened m? rofueed to dlecuss the full nature of the charges against his client. It was broadly hinted when the trial first began that there was a conspiracy afoot against Captain Berry, who. in spite of the feel ing of some officers of the Fourteenth who wore aboard the transport at the thne of the aHeged Insult to Mrs. Mack, has many Influential friends. It was also rumored at that time that Captain Berry's njtaa would be temporary Insanity, brought about by excessive drinking. The witneosos who will appear before the trial board are: Mrs. Berry, who was also a naaeenger: Captain Thomas Peabody, Chief Officer John A. Anscll, Quartermas ter Clerk H. B. Strauss, Chief Steward Hannlgan. OmmfHeary Clerk Max Wein berger and Freight Clerk J. Allen, of the Predk. In San Francisco. J. Backmann, Captain Berry's former valet, alsp Is pceem as a witness. WHY PALMER LOST HIS JOB PROVED UNFIT TO RUX BIG PRINTING OFFICE. Salary Too Stnnll for First-Glass MnnRickctts Did Work, Pai nter Handled Patronage. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sopt IT. Public Printer F. W. Palmar lost his job not only because he attempted to unjustly dismiss two of his puboFdtnate;. but because President Roosevelt has long been aware of his un fitness to manage the largest printing es tabikthniont la the world. It has been known for many months that Mr. Palmer would have to go, but the President has exporlencld some diffi culty n finding a competent man to take his place. Twice the position has been offered to high-grade men, men who are today managing big printeriea In New York and Boston, and twice the tender has been declined because these men could not afford to sacrifice a 910.000 posi tion for one paying only $1500. The jaiary of the Public Printer Is one of the great drags on the office. Printers competent to All the office properly will not serve for such a salary; a least, very few of thorn will; they do not feel that they can afford It. No printing office In the world employs as many people, con sumes as much material and turns out as much work ae the big Government prlnt ery in Wsahlngton. So enormous is this oSSec that it if maintained as a separate Institution, not connected with any de partment, but directly under the super vision and control of the President An every -day printer cannot manage It; It takes a genius, and, unfortunately, though he has held the place for 12 years, Mr. Palmer Is not a genius. RIckelts Did tho Work. Mr. Palmer was first appointed by President Harrison. When Mr. Cleveland was elected he went out, but was rein stated by President McKlnley, and has served continuously since the beginning of the first McKlnley administration, be ing reappointed by President Roosevelt. WbJIe it is true that Mr. Palmer knows a great deal about printing and about Gov ernment printing in particular, it Is a well-known fact that ho has, during his last term, been Public Printer in namej only He has not been the real director of the Printing Office: the active manage ment has been in other hands, especially in the hands of Mr. Ricketts, the foreman r printing. So far as the actual manage ment of the business is concerned. Mr. Rickcttf has been quite competent and deserves credit for the manner in which he baa run the office, notwithstanding be was a J2590 man, whije Palmer drew f500. Mr. Palmer came in good and strong, however, in the employment of printers, compositors, binders and other workmen. He It was who listened to the Senator or the member with a pull: he It was who found means and reasons for creating va cancies In order to make room for favor ites; he it was who stood In with the powers that be, and who made himself solid with some of the most 'Influential men In the Capitol. But by pursuing this course. Mr. Palmer did not strengthen himself with the President It is a notorious fact that one could go Into Mr. Palmer's office at almost any hour of the day. and he would fall to ob serve the first trace of Government busL ness before the Public Printer. Mr. Pal mer took life easy, drew his comfortable salary and let others do the worrying. But in time the President got an ink ling of what was going on, the Keep Commission did the rest, and from that day Mr. Palmer's fate was sealed. But had 'he not tried, before losing bis own office, to wreak vengeance on two of his subordinates who, he Imagined, were cpn spirlng against him, Mr. Palmer. Instead of being turned out on the world, might have been permitted to enjoy his sine cure for an Indefinite period. His rash act displeased the President, who fully understood the relations between him and Ricketts, and the President promptly re moved him. Cliques Infest Office. The Government Printing Office, like many other Government offices, is divided Into cliques'. The Navy Department is the most conspicuous example of clique rule, but the Printing Office had become almost as bad. Of late there had been the Pal mer faction and the anti-Palmer faction, and as a result there was confusion of business, friction between the various di visions and considerable unrest and Ill feeling throughout the office. Everything that transpired was made the subject of a factional quarrel, even to the purchase of typesetting machines. Had Mr. Palmer been the right man In the right place, he 'could have stamped out this factional trouble; could have as serted his rights and, instead of being a figure-head, would have been thej active and actual manager. But he is too old, too easy-going, too amiable under most cir cumstances, to run a big office like the Government Printers, and It Is expected that he will be succeeded by some younger and more active man who will put an end to factional strife, and who will take and firmly ' hold tho reins of office. That Is the kind of man the Presi dent is looking for. TO CELEBRATE NEW YEAR Jewish Congregations Preparing for Their Church Holidays. Active preparations arc being made by the Jewish congregations of this city for the proper celebration of Rosh Hashanah and Tom Klppur the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement respectively, on September and October 1 and 10. Tho evonlng of Friday, September 29. will ush er In the 5666th year of the Jewish era. Dr. Stephen S. Wise will conduct the services at Temple Beth Israel. He will be assisted by D. Soils Cohen. A special musical programme Is being prepared for the choir. As Congregation Beth Israel Is of the reformed wing of the Jewish Church, only the first day of Rosh Ha shanah will be observed. The services in the Synagogue Ahaval Sholom will be of especial significance, as they will mark the beginning of the sec ond year of the building of the beautiful structure. In order more thoroughly to observe the holidays, this congregation has called Dr. Wolf Wlllnor, of Meridian Miss., to deliver the summons and have charge of the services. Dr. Robert Abra hamson will, as usual, conduct the prayers. Dr. Abrahamson has been with this congregation for nearly 20 years, and It is duo largely to his energy that the Ahaval Sholom Is In 'such a flourishing condition. It is expected that Dr. Win ner will relieve Dr. Abrahamson of a great deal of work In connection with congregational duties, thus giving him an opportunity to take a well-deserved rest. Hermit Shoots at Hunters. ROSEBURS, Or., Sept 20.

Carl, prom inent residents of Roseburg. None of the shots took effect yet they were fired with deadly Intent and went dangerously near their mark. Cars, when arrested, seemed to think that ho had killed Mahn, against- whom he had some kind of a grudge. He said: "I am willing to die now that that red-faced Mahn Is dead." When the Sheriff told him no onehad been injured be would not believe It saying that he had seen a light in Mahn's house all night and that his family were sitting up with the dead body.

VETO IS SUSTAINED Mayor Wins Out in Fight Over Box Ordinance. NEW MEASURE INTRODUCED Councilman Bennett Presents An other Proposed City Law "Which Aims to Avoid Ambiguity. Measure May Pass. It has come to pass that no well-regulated session of the City Council can be held without the Introduction of a new box ordinance. Occasionally the proceedings are varied by the passage of some measure over tho Mayor's veto. Yesterday's ireetlng was no ex ception to the rule. An attempt was made to override Mayor Lane's objections to the Bennett ordinance, passed at the last session of the body, but It resulted in dismal fail ure, only eight stalwarts being found to support tho Idea. Annand, Bennett Gray, Kellaher. Menefee. Preston, Rush light and Wills remained true to the ATTENDED WEST POINT WITH GENERAL GRANT. Colonel Benjamin Franklin Hawke.

C. anti-veto standard, whlle-Beldlng, Dun ning and Shepherd were the real de serters from the cause, Sharkey having experienced a change of heart when the ordinance was first rushed through two weeks previously, while Masters, Vaughn and Wallace have never been placed in any other category than as being relentlessly opposed to any form of tinkering with box ordinances. When the Council found out that it could not muster the requisite two thirds vote of its members to Insure the passage of tho old Bennett ordl nace over the Mayor's veto. It did the next best thing -by submitting to the Introduction -.of an amended measure, based practically upon the same lines as -the other, but, as explained by Its author, Mr. Bennett, with all Its ob jectionable features In the way of am biguity removed. It was referred to the committee on liquor licenses, and thero Is a fair prospect of Its being passed by the necessary two-thirds ma jority, as It is thought by that time the malcontents will have returned to the fold. For his alleged treachery In going back on them In connection with the veto mater, Beldlngs concert hall ordi nance was knocked In the head In short order by the other members, and as the situation now stands, tho Mayor has succeeded In penetrating the enemy's line of defense, although Just what good It will do him remains to be seen.

The dues are fl. a month for each share, it being calculated that this will Insure an Income of at least $220 a month for investments. The by-laws also contain provisions for the protection of stockhold ers against loss by permitting the com pany to purchase their shares, and against any clique obtaining control by giving the company the first option of buying up outstanding stock.
