HEW COMMANDER
ARRIVES AT POST
General Maus Takes Charge
of District and Meets His
Old Regiment.
WAS SUBALTERN IN FIRST
Distinguished Head of Department
Ilaa Seen Wide Service and Bears
Two Medals From Congress
for Gallantry In Action.
When Marlon P. Maus. Rrljrafller
General. United States Army, reported
ior duty at Vancouver Barracks yes
terday forenoon, as the new command
ling officer of the Department of the
Columbia, It was to find himself again
'with the Mrst United States Infantry,
i with which he entered the service 35
years ago as a humble second lieuten
ant. Not any of the enlisted personnel
cf the regiment was left, and only ono
of the officers. Major Robert Noble,
remained.
The 35 years that have elapsed since
General Maus entered the First In
ifantry have been eventful ones for
!hlm. and while merit and distinguished
'service have taken him up to the com
mand of a brigade, he admits that the
;Tays when ho was a subaltern in the
IKIrst were among the happiest of his
life. The sentiment that attaches to
ils reunion with the regiment was fit
tingly expressed just before retreat
yesterday afternoon, when the regi
mental band gave a concert fcr him In
which a programme of stirring mili
tary airs was concluded by "Auld Lang
Syne."
Notable Career In Army.
There are very few generals In the
United States Army who have had such
varied and distinguished service as has
General Maus. The General himself
Isn't Inclined to talk about his record.
But the records bearing on the subject
peak voluminously. He saw long serv
ice In the Indian wars. In which he was
an Important factor; participated in
the Cuban, Porto Rlcan and later
Philippine campaigns, and has repre
sented the Government at several
European wars in the capacity of mili
tary observer.
Traveling In all parts of the world
he has seen the great armies of the
world on dress parade and In the field.
After which he has arrived at the con
clusion that the United States Army Is
superior to any other force of troops
of equal size in the. world, both as to
Its officers and Its enlisted men. But
of these things, too, the General Is not
Inclined to be communicative. As a
fighting; man and officer, his associates
In the Army say his peers are few.
But talking of hlmseir Is a habit he
doesn't seem to have developed.
Twice he has been decorated for gal
lantry In action. The General will not
tell you that, but the records show for
themselves. The flrRt time was for
"fearlessly exposing hlmseir in the line
of duty," to use the unexpressive lan
guage of the oniclal reports. The second
time was for effective and gallant opera
tions against the Nes Perces.
Granted Medal of Honor.
His first medal of honor was won In the
campaign against the Apaches In 18S6.
He was campaigning against the rene
gades not far from the Mexican border.
Lieutenant Jerome, Second Cavairv. was
captured by the Apaches. He was being
neia wnen General Maus. then a Lieu
tenant In command of scouts, effected a
was captured. General Maus rode to the
xuumu wunp, aisregaraing a leaden rusil
lade, and effected an exchange of prls
oners.

command of scouts. After the surrender
of Chief 'Joseph, the young officer took
p mo pursuit oi a Dana of fugitive war
riors and pursuied them from Montana to
the Canadian frontier, where he broke
ip me oano. un this march, by the way,
600 miles were covered In a period of 14
days, which Is held as the record of such
accomplishments.
He served through the Sioux and Chey
enne campaigns, winning his double bars
during the tribal disturbances. During
the Cuban war he was on the staff of
General Miles and was Inspector-General
during the trouble In Porto Rico. Just
previous to these campaigns he went as
military observer to the Turkish-war, and
at its conclusion attended the military
maneuvers of the French, German and
Russian armies. He also was detailed
by the War Department to attend the
Queen's Jubilee.
Captured Mora Forts.
In 1902 he was ordered to the Philip
pines for service. He commanded a pro
visional brigade during the Moro out
break, effecting the capiure of a chain of
35 Moro forts. He made a second trip to
the Philippines la 1905 and went through
Japan and China, observing the military
forces of those countries.
It Is said of General Maus that he more
than earned every promotion he has re
ceived. He graduated from West Point
in 187. being a classmate, by the way,
of C E. S. Wood, of Portland. He was
assigned to the First Infantry. He won
his single bar In '79, double bars In '90.
oak leaves In '99, when he was assigned
to the Second Infantry: became Lieutenant-Colonel
of the Twenty-second In
fantry In '92, Colonel of the Twentieth
Infantry in '94, and brigade commander
June 10, 1909. He cornea to this district
from the Presidio at Monterey.
In the face of his long and arduous
service. General Maus is In excellent
physical condition, and considers It no
trick at all to make the 90-mile test ride.
He is a typical American officer, exact
ing," thorough, and tireless In his ener
gies, although there Is nothing suggestive
oi in a martinet about him. Every com
mand given to him has been taken up to
a high state of efficiency, and those fa
miliar with his military career expect to
see htm go even higher In the servloe.

BAND LIKE BIG ORCHESTRA
Only Highest Class of Muslo Played
by Innes Organization.
Frederick Innes. whose splendid com
pany of musicians will give two festival
programmes at Multnomah Field on July
13 and 14, ia one of the foremost figures
in the musical life of America. It is fre
quently said of him that the best school
ing a musician can have Is a season with
the Innes Orchestral Band.
Innes Is a strict disciplinarian and drill
master, and although he and his mu
sicians are the best of friends, he has
a standard that each man must live up to
If he hones to retain his position In the
organization". Musicians joining the Innes
band, after having played as members of
otlier organizations, have been amazed at
the class and character of the pro
grammes given by the great director.
They have been confronted by musical
compositions which are not even at
tempted by some of the symphony orches
tras. Innes at once inspires his mu
sicians with confidence. He conducts in
variably without a score, and as he goes
through one difficult number after an
other without so much as a note to guide
his memory, his men cannot help but feel
his authority and b inspired by his
scholarly musical knowledge.
Innes has blended his band in such a
manner as to secure the total effects of
a great symphony orchestra. It has. In
fact, been said by well-known musical
critics that his organization is like noth
ing so much as the playing of a big
symphony orchestra. Innes' tastes lead
him to the playing of the higher musical
works, and these he plays con amore, but
he never permits this preference to inter
fere with the giving of a fair share of the
so-called popular music as a part of each
of his programmes.
In addition to the full strength of his
company, he will offer several soloists
who are prominent In musical circles,
making the occasion full of interest. In
admitting automobiles and carriages to
the grounds the Multnomah Club expects
to make a popular move, for what more
attractive than to listen to a concert from
one's own conveyance?

DEFENSE SEES PLOT
J. W. Applegate Says Petition
ers Seek His Property.
REALTY AGENT ATTACKED
Photographer Assert He Can Care
' for Own Affairs and Mistrusts
Motives of Suit Filed by
Barry and Ilenneman.
Alleging that "W. A. Henneman and
Frank T. Berry have conspired together
to "do" him out of the rent and profits
or his property, worth about- $15,000,
J. W. Applegate, a photographer
of 81 Sixth street. North. filed
the County Court yesterday his
answer to their charge that he Is In
competent and unable to attend to his
own business affairs. Henneman recent
ly filed an application in court asking
that Berry be appointed guardian, the
former alleging that he was Applegate's
next friend. Applegate says he is not
a friend, and that Berry "is not fit to
be appointed guardian for him (Apple-
gate) or anybody else."
Berry Is a real estate dealer, having
an office at 4 Sixth street. North, ad
joining Applegate's .property. He lives
at iZ beventh street.
Applegate's answer, filed by his at
torney. William Reid, bristles with
startling statements which show that
he does not appreciate Henneman's and
Berry's "friendly" feeling. In the first
place he says that he Is not addicted
to the excessive use of liquor, as Henne
man charged, that he does not expose
himself to want from this cause, and
that he is not about to become a county
charge. Berry, says Applegate. has
been acting as his agent in collecting
a monthly rental from his property. Ber
ry has refused to acount for it. saya
Applegate, and now wishes to be ap
pointed guardian so he can continue to
appropriate it to his own use. The prop
erty at 2 Sixth street. North, rents for
$3o per month, that at 113 Ankeny street.
including a paint store, rents for $40 a
month, and that at 349 Benton street, for
$35 a month, according to Applegate.
REPLY FILED BY PITTEXGER
Declares He Has Properly Handled
Affairs of Mrs. Dixon Estate.
John M. Plttenger, a real estate and
Insurance agent with an office at 119 Kill-
lngsworth avenue. has answered th
cnarges or Mrs. M. Q. Dunham that he
has handled the estate of Mrs. 'William
B. Dixon as though It were his own per
sonal property. He says he has cared for
It as a careful administrator should. His
answer was filed in the County Court
late yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Dunham
recently petitioned for his removal.
Plttenger admits that he has erected
a small real estate office upon the prop
erty of the estate in West Piedmont, but
says ne aid so only after securing the
consent of Pearl Jackson, the residuary
legatee, ana tnat he is willing to pay a
small monthly rental for it.- The real
estate business he is carrying on. he savs.
is ot oenerit to the estate s property.
tending to increase Its value.
In response to the charge that he nairt
himself as administrator $100, and his
brother $100 as attorney's fees, without
court order, he says that the provisions
of the will were somewhat conflicting,
that the administration of the estate has
involved much work, and that he was en
titled to the money. He says he made re
port of the matter in his semi-annual ac
count to the court.
He thinks the two lots of the estate In
"West Piedmont are now worth $2000 more
tnan tney were when inventoried at $3000.
He also points to his action In selling the
east half of lot 20. block 24. Albina, at 303
jnugene street, and lot 7, block 9, West
Piedmont, for $300 more than their ap
praised value.
TWO ARE NAMED BY COURT
Overplus of Administrators for Mary
E. Kepbart Estate.
County Judge Webster has appointed
two administrators for one estate. It is
that of Mary E. Kephart, who died In
Pennsylvania, February 2, 1905. Her will
was admitted to probate in Blair County,
Pennsylvania, soon afterward, the prop
erty in toto being left to her two sisters.
Annie E. and Sarah E. Kephart. But
as the property in Oregon, value of which
aoes not exceed $o00. could not be at
tended to by the sisters in Altoona. Pa-
it was necessary that an administrator
be appointed here. Attorney George S.
Shepherd, therefore filed a petition Au
gust 6 last, asking that Georee B. Cel
lars be appointed. The appointment was
maae, and the Inventory filed Febru
ary 3.
On June 21, this year, while Cellars was
still acting as administrator. Attornev
William A. Munly filed a petition asking
mat so., uunen be appointed adminis
trator, he being the agent for the de
ceased woman's property. Judge Webster
accordingly made the second appoint
ment, but. Cellars not having been re
moved, both men now have power to act
in regard to the estate. It is probable
tnat; one oi mem win be removed.

OREGON ROADS PRAISED
AUTOIST HAS XEW ACCOUNT OF
STATE HIGHWAYS.
If. C. Merritt, Pasadena Capitalist,
Reaches Portland After Long
Trip in Touring Car.
Multi-millionaire, former railroad presi
dent, controller of numerous street rail
ways, electric, gas and power concerns
and other public-service corporations,
Hulett eiinton Merritt. of Pasadena. Cal.,
and Duluth, Minn., spent yesterday in
Portland. With his family he has just
made an automobile trip from Pasadena
to Portland, and will continue tomorrow
to Seattle.
It was a new tale Mr. Merritt had to
tell regarding Oregon roads. "The worst
roads on the trip were from 9anta Bar
bara 25 miles north, and the best roads
were in Oregon," he said.
This has not been the usual story of
California tourists, but Mr. Merritt is
quite positive. He said that a great deal
of road-building has been going on over
the mountains in Oregon and many of the
highways are not over a month old. The
great tourist car made excellent time, al
though no attempt was made for a record
run, Mr. Merritt and his party making
many stops en route.
"Portland Is in my estimation the most
conservative city on the Pacific Coast."
said Mr. Merritt. "Portland. Seattle, San
Francisco and Los Angeles all have great
futures. The whole Pacific Const must
grow as a unit. I believe in the entire
Coast. I think this section has more
advantages and less drawbacks than any
other part of the world."
Mr. Merritt said he believed co-operation
in railroad work, as well as "harmony.
makes possible greater development of
the country. "All lines are working for
a profit," he continued, "and if Hill and
Harriman are fighting, they can't get any
pront. Hill and Harriman have brought
an enormous quantity of capital to the
Coast, just when It was needed most. I
have too much faith In Harriman to be
lieve he will discontinue his work."
Mr. Merritt is accompanied by Mrs. Mer
ritt, :Mlss Rosaline Merritt, H. C. Meritrt,
Jr.. and Mr. and Mrs. Fred T. Buemann.
The party Is traveling in a large touring
car, in place of Mr. Merritt's car, which
he left behind disabled at Santa Barbara,
