Serious Charge.
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

naaeenger: Captain Thomas Peabody,
Chief Officer John A. Anscll, Quartermas

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. While hid
ing in a thicket waiting for the approach
of three mon whom he had heard wore
hunting on his farm, Louis Cars, a her
mit shot several times at E. H. Mahn,
R. B. Matthews and L. D. 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.
Aftor a preliminary hearing, Cars was
bound over under J1500 ball, going to
Jail in default of security. He has lived
a hermit life on a farm rented from W.
C. McWilllams, three miles east of this
city.

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 Hawkes,

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.

corporators bemg O. C. Lelter, L. K.
Hodges and C. S. Kelty. It has a capital
stock of $25,0CO, divided Into 250 shares of
the par value of $100 each. Provision is
made for the Increase of the capital stock
as the demands Justify. The corporation
was organized by the employes of tho
various departments of The Morning Orc
gonlan and Evening Telegram, although
the by-laws permit acceptable outsiders
to become subscribers to a limited number
of shares, the idea being to secure stock
holders who will conscientiously maintain
their monthly payments.
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. The plan
Is to invest In Inside property which
either yields a ready Income or can be
readily made to do so. Companies of like
character have met with splendid success
In other localities.

MACS LUCK
The Young Woman Reporter's Story.
The following food tale written by a
clever young newspaper woman la a true
s too that came under her personal
observation: ,
"I have been with tho (a paper
In a California town) for nine years and
Mac has been with us all that time and I
do not know how much longer. Mac's
full name Is MacCIcllan. Before the Lino
types came In he was a good printer, and
was one of the first to learn the machine,
and is now, at about tho age of 42, one of
our very fastest operators.
"Last Winter and the Winter before
Mac, probably from constant night work
and Improper food, got badly run down,
could not cat much, what little he
did eat did not do him much good and ho
always complained he could not keep
warm.
"I missed him for a while until yester
day I overtook him on the street going
toward the office, and hardly knew the
man; had It not been for the familiar
walk I should surely have passed with
out recognizing him. He was stout his
face was round and ruddy and his eyes
bright as I had never seen them before.
"I said 'Mac, I hardly knew you; what
on earth have you been doing to get so
fatr He replied, 'Grape-Nuts, nothing
else. I started it on Grape-Nuts food
three months ago'when I weighed 126
and was feeling miserable, but now I
weight 160 and feel better than i ever
felt In my life. I quit my old diet and
went on Grape-Nuts and that's the whole
story.' " Name given by Fostum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich
Exercise Is necessary, but there's no
nourishment In it and proper food alone
can supply that. Grape-Nuts for 10 days
Is a pleasant trial and proves big things.
There's a reason.
Look in each package for the famous
little book, "The Road to WellvilIe-'
street, was arrested yesterday morn
ing by Detecelves Day and Vaughn
on a charge of defrauding a Phlla
delhpla wholesale mercantile house
of J300. He was recognized positively at
headquarters br Police Clerk Archie
Leonard by a peculiar wart on the end of
his nose. Although he Is wanted by the
Philadelphia authorities, he was released
on his own recognizance last night on
orders from District Attorney Manning.
Remanoffsky Is to appear before Judge
Cameron this morning.
