FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION REF
I'GE FOR ALL.
Many Exiles From Other Nations
Find a Home There Free
From Question.
PARIS. Jan. 29. (Special.) When, a few
weeks ago. 30 men of the French Foreign
Iegion deserted and held up a train In
Morocco, a number of newspapers refer
red to the "fact" that the legion was
made up pf rather more than half of de
serters from the German army. Thfs la
by no means true. The French Foreign
Legion numbers 13.200 men In all, of whom
not quite "0 are Germans; and of these
not more thnn 2000 are deserters from the
German army. About 4(0 of the Legion
aries are Frenchmen and the rest com
prise Austrian. Swiss, Englishmen. Ital
ians. Spaniards. Belgians and Poles.
There are also a Jew Servians. Bulgar
ians and Roumanians.
The Legionaries get very little pay a
datly dole of Just over a penny but when
they have served 15 years they get a pen
sion of SltiO a year. It Is a mistake to
believe that France ill-treats the soldiers
of its- Foreign Legion. Discipline Is. of
course, fairly severe. It has to be so
In a corps the soldiers of which are re
cruited as these soldiers are. Any for
eigner between the ages of iS and 40.
whom the doctors consider strong enough
can become a soldier of the, Legion, and
nothing about his past, not even his
name. Is asked of hint.
There are life-tragedies In the French
Foreign Legion more touching than any
in fiction. The Legion Is a refuge for ail
those whom life has treated ill. The
case of one Polish Legionary may be
cited. Ho had been the priest of a little
parish near the German frontier, and
tiad preached resistance against German
and Russian despotism. Me had been
driven from Ms church and tracked by
German. Austrian and Russian police un
til he finally 'took refuge in the Legion.
But the love of his country and the
hatred of Russia and of Germany were
too strong, nnd he returned to Russia,
lie was in St. Petersburg in January,
l!iV He Is now serving his time in a
lead mine In Siberia.

J. Lentz. Will L-ntz, Will Hies, Clarence
Ries and Will French, accused of un
lawfully killing deer and having the meat
in their possession, were tried today be
fore Justice A. (. Buck and acquitted.
Deputy Game Warden Louis Fritz In
sists that big quantities of deer have been
slaughtered in the deep snow i:i the Mount
Hood district this Winter, but that it is
impossible to get a jury to secure con
viction. Fritz states that the meat which
was placed In evidence was found on the
premises of one of the men, covered up
with a cord of wood. At the trial, several
witnesses swore that the meat was deer
meat, while others swore they were un
able to tell what it was, although they
had killed many deer.
Frltx says that he has received many
complaints from upper valley residents
recently of deer killing out of season and
that he will continue to make vigorous
efforts to secure conviction.

GOSGROVE'S PLAN
BLOCKED BY HAY
Split Between Sick Executive
and Lieutenant-Governor
Over Patronage.
HAY WANTS HIS OWN WAY
Willing to Name Cosgrove's Men
I nless They Are Personally Dis
tasteful to Acting Governor.
Cosgrove Starts South.
OI.TMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 29. (Special.)
A split occurred today between Hay and
Cosgrove that will temporarily, at least,
block the prospective appointment of
Cosgrove's selection of Kenneth Mac
Kintosh for Superior Judge of Seattle and
L. J. Blrdscye for Judge at Spokane.
Hav refuses to make these appointments,
claiming the laws creating the positions
will take effect after Hay becomes Act
ing Governor and that under such cir
cumstanc8 Hay alone should determine
the appointments.
Howard Cosgrove announced tonight
that Governor Cosgrove has determined
upon the appointment of J. L. Mohundro
as State Bank Kximaner. to succeed A.
W. Krtgle, of Seattle. The formal appoint
ment has not yet been made.
Tonight at 7:30. in the private car Cali
fornia, Governor Cosgrove and Mrs. Cos
grove left via Tacoma for Paso Robles.
Kugene Lotion will aocompany the party
as far an Portland.
Grain Inspector Selected.
No appointments were made today by
the Governor, but Howard said tonight
his father had determined upon a selec
tion for Grain Ipepeetor, but was not yet
ready to announce the name, and that no
other selections had been determined
upon. He referred further Inquiries to
Lieutenant-Governor Hay.
Hay savs that when Howard Cosgrove
first came back from Paso Robles, at a
time when It was not expected the Gov
ernor would come here to be inaugurated
he promised Howard Cosgrove, he. Hay,
would be willing to make appointments
at the special request of Governor Cos
grove, provided, of course, Buch ap
pointees were not personally distasteful
to Hay.
Hay Wants His Own Way.
When Cosgrove changed -hi plans
and did come here. Hay made an urgent
request that Cosgrove make all his ap
pointments during his stay in Olympia.
As Cosgrove has not done so. Hay feels
bound under his old promise to make
future appointments on Cosgrove's re
quest. But if Cosgrove suggests men Hay
cannot approve, the Lieutenant-Governor
will Insist the Governor personally re
turn to the state to make such appoint
ments. ' '
Further. Hay has Insisted that on all
matters of legislation he will be bound
by his own Ideas, not by Cosgrove's.
The demand for the resignation of Adjutant-General
Hamilton has aroused a
storm of protest. Lieutenant-Governor
Hay says he has received telegrams from
all parts of the state protesting against
any change and that many legislators
called during the day to urge Hay's in
fluence to prevent ousting Hamilton.

charge is that while Judge of the Dis
trict Court in Florence. Pinal County,
about 20 years ago. Klbbey changed
the court record, and that a photograph
of the changed record has been for
warded to the Senate.
No denial Is made of the act. but the
circumstances are claimed to have been
as follows:
Francis J. Heney, then a young law
yer, was defending a man In the Flor
ence Court before Klbbey. Judge Klb
bey lectured Attorney Heney severely
in court one day for alleged miscon
duct before the jury.
Later Klbbey, concluding that
Heney's conduct was merely an Impro
priety and no harm having been done,
and feeling that his censure might be
too severe, expunged the record of the
rensure with his own pen, without
making an open-court order to that
effect. It Is this erasure which. It Is
stated, Klhbey's opponents have
brought to the attention of the Senate.

President Lewis Target for All SorCs
or Abuse at National

close of a day of speeches conveying

the Illinois miners, declared:
"I am sorry to the bottom of my
heart to have come here to find able
district officers engaged In personal
dispute to the extent of causing this
to be the most disgraceful convention
we have had in Indianapolis.
"Let us leave off personal dissension,
proceed to our business and in the sup
port of our executive officers, whether
It be Tom Lewis or John Walker."
Mr. Evans received hearty applase.
He had taken the floor in the midst of
a speech by Walker to correct a state
ment that Mr. Walker had Imputed to
him, the sense of which was that he
had told Walker that National Presi
dent Lewis had unfolded to him a plan
by which he expected to be able to
coerce the representatives of the miners
into supporting the policy of the Na
tional president.
Scarcely had the convention opened
today when the forces opposing the
administration of President) Lewis be
gan an attack upon him and the Na
tional organizers, charging that those
men were sent into Pennsylvania for
electioneering purposes and neglected
to organize the miners. President
Lewis denied the charge. Some of the
delegates were . growing restive at the
continued interruption of business by
officers of the union "playing politics."
Several speeches were made protesting
that the convention would be In ses
sion for two weeks more If It did not
exclude personal wrangles.
The committee on officers late this
afternoon submitted its report to the
convention. It Indorses the adminis
tration of President Lewis. President
Keehan, of the Pittsburg district, .got
the floor and began an attack on the
report.

cent trade agreement was not only wel
comed by the two nations, America and
Japan, but by all the countries of Europe
as well.
"The governments are Important fac
tors, but the people must be considered

lead to difficulties. There are still many
things to be desired In the way of per
fect good feeling between the people of
