MUCH NOT YET DIVULGED Attempt or the Gsptain to Take Pos session of Mrs. "Mack's "State room on the Transport Sheridan the Cause. VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 2L (Spe cial.) While the court-martial of Cap tain A. P. Berry, which Is being held be hind closed doora at the officers quarters at Vancouver Barracks, does not promise as lively a scandal as that which the Captain Taggart trial savo to the world, nevertheless enough ol It Is coming out of the star-chamber sessions that are be ing held to warrant the belief that there Is more behind the court-martial of Cap tain Berry than has appoared in print. Factional lines have been drawn ever since the affair on the transport Sheri dan, when Captain Berry attempted to take possession of Mrs. Mack's stateroom. Since the court-martial of Captain Berry was ordered, these lines have dally grown more taut, and now friends of both par ties are lined up against each other. While thore may be none of the noisome details connected with the Taggart case brought oat In the Berry trial, and while a lot of stff that is brought before the trial board f officers may never appear In public prints, one thing Is sure, the case, when it Is through, will involve more than Captain Berry. Mori: Than Is Divulged. That the case has more behind It than two mere trial of Captain Berry Is In a moasurc proved by the studied reluctance on the part of the rank and file to discuss the case. There are many officers and enlisted men at Vancouver who were on the transport Sheridan when Captain Ber ry attempted to take possession of Mrs. Mack's cabin. They are fully cognizant of the other scandals resulting from this, but not one will discuss It. When an offi cer Is led up to remarking about the case, beyond calling It a "dirty, bitter case" he will not venture. Captain Berry's friends are almost open In their charge that there Is a conspiracy on foot to injure Captain Berry's standing In the Army. Case of Lieutenant Hamilton. Some time ago Lieutenant Louis M. Hamilton, of the Tenth Infantry, was court-martialed and tried behind closed doors. Just as the Berry trial is being conducted, and It Is rumored that Lieuten ant Hamilton's trial, and sentence, what ever It will bo when the papers are re turned, was the result of charges growing out of the Berry case. It was hinted very broadly today that this is not the only officer who will be confronted by a court-martial before the Berry case Is settled. DEATH OF GUSTAF WILSON Pioneer Passes Away at the Age of Seventy-Eight Years. Gustaf Wilson, one of the oldest pioneers of the state, passed away yes terday morning at the Good Samaritan Hospital at the age of 78 years. The direct cause of his death was the re sult of ailments common to old age. He had been ailing since June 1, and was taken to the hospital on the 4th of August. Mr. Wilson was born at the town of Uloaborg. in Northern Finland, In the year 1S27, and came to America when he was 15 years of age, having shipped on a sailing vessel. He deserted this ship and sailed on the ship Albania for San Francisco. He remained In California but a short time, when he located in Oregon, choosing Josephine County as his home. He resided In that part of the state for several years, during which tlVne he was active In politics, having been chosen to several responsible offices In 1853 he enlisted In the army, and served through the early Indian troubles In the state. After the wars he came to Portland, and, recognizing the Importance of this locality, he located In the then budding town. For several years ho was Russian Vice-Consul In Portland. Gustaf Wilson was a S2d degree Mason, and a member of the grand lodge for several years, and his fu neral will be held under the direction of that order. Before his Illness the deceased made his home at the residence of C F. Pear son, of 615 Marshall street. He leaves an adopted daughter. Miss Alice E. Wilson, who Is the only relative In this country. He married Mrs. Chris tine Wldenn in 1871, and survived her several years. The funeral will be held Saturday from the Scottish Rite Temple.
