IMPORTANT TEST IS MADE
Battalion of Third Oregon Regiment
Advances With Regular Artillery
men at Clackamas Range to
Determine Strength of Fire.
In a skirmish advance by a battalion of
the Third Oregon Infantry and a machine
gun detachment of the fnlted States
Army, at the Clackamas rlflS ranjre, late
jesterday afternoon, a remarkable record
In collective fire was made by the two
organizations. Firing on ordinary skir
miah targets In a run extending from 1000
yards up to 200 yards, the two organiza
tions scored hits aggregating 40 per cent
of the shots fired.
The advance was made In extended or
der for the purpose of determining the
effectiveness of a combined battalion and
machine gun platoon, there being a
movement on foot at this time to have
machine guns assigned to every battalion
of infantry. The experiment was suc
cessful beyond expectations. Being the
first of the kind made so far in the United
States, it doubtless will have some influ
ence in bringing about similar experi
ments by the Army.
That the guardsmen are marksmen to
be counted upon in firing under the most
difficult conditions was demonstrated by
the test. The Second battalion, being
on the range for its regular day of target
practice In connection with the annual
field Instructions, was assigned to make
the run. The men were not picked. In
fact, the Sergeants were placed back of
the line and did not fire.
Men Not ricked.
The battalion was reduced to 60 men.
who were selected without regard "for
qualification as riflemen. This was
done to test the contention that a machine-gun
detachment is ordinarily
equal to 60 infantry in the delivery of
fire at a given object.
Fifteen shots were fired by each man,
making a total of 900 shots. Two shots
were fired at 1000 yards, two at 800, two
at 600, three at BOO, three at 300 and
three at 200 yards. Thirteen B targets
were used by the infantrymen. JThe
machine-gun detachment, under Lieu
tenant Davis. U. S. A., fired 800 rounds,
using two B targets. When the hits
were counted in the target pits it was
round the battalion had a total of 397
to its credit. The machine-gun platoon,
despite the difficulties of the advance
scored 212 hits.
The records of the two organizations
are regarded by the officers in camp
as all the more remarkable from the
fact that neither infantry nor artillery
had preliminary practice at the long
and mid ranges. The regulars gave a
pretty exhibition of quick work in
mounting and dismounting: their pieces
for- transfer by mule from the various
stages of the advance. There was not
a hitch on their part, while the Guard
battalion displayed excellent fire disci
pline, only one shot being fired after
the signal to cease firing had been
given.
The experiment wan ninnnAi -
cuted by Major F. S. Baker, as state In
spector of small arms practice. Besides
showing the effectiveness of machine
guns and artillery combined, the . test
demonstrated the rapid advances in
marksmanship that have been made In
the Third Regiment during the past
five years since target practice has
been given special attention. The bat
talion was made up of Company C,
Portland. Captain Loren A. Bowman
commanding Company B, Portland
Captain W. TV. Wilson commanding';
Company I, Woodburn, Captain F. W.
Settlemler commanding, and Company
G. Oregon City, First Lieutenant Logus
commanding.
Value of Hits Shown.
The following table was compiled
last night to show the value of the hits.
It reveals that the skirmish line, which
extended across an area of 300 feet, was
strong throughout in the firing.

STANDS BY POLICY
Mayor Will Not Be Swerved in
Attitude on Parks.
MENEFEE'S EFFORT FAILS
Councilman Tries to Get Reconsid
eration With- Regard to Mont
gomery Tract Business Expe
dited and Session Is Short,
That Mayor Simon means business
and that he does not intend to allow
any one swerve him from his an
nounced purpose of stopping the ex
penditure of public funds for parks,
was made very plain during the ses
sion of the City Council yesterday
morning-. Councilman Menefee, who
has been enthusiastic in the attempt to
secure the purchase of the Montgomery
tract for a park, asked to have the con
sideration of this matter withdrawn
from the committee on parks and pub
lic property, where It had been regu
larly referred. Mayor Simon refused
to permit this unless Chairman Beld
ing would request it, and Mr. Beldlng
did not care to do so. The Mayor told
Mr. Menefee that "the matter will not
be accelerated very fast." Mr. Menefee,
after the incident, said that he will
fight for his rights in the matter re
gardless of the Mayor's attitude; that
he regards the Mayor's policy as wrong,
and he thinks it an outrage that every
other part of the city Is given a park,
but none provided for Albina.
The Council session was three hours
long, and in that time as much busi
ness was transacted as has been ac
complished in three times that length
heretofore, as Mayor Simon refuses to
permit anything but strict compliance
with parliamentary law. The wran.
gling which made the Council proceed
ings farcical so often in the former
days, has completely disappeared, and
the Mayor enforces the rules to the
letter. Not infrequently, he tells the
members -what motions to make to
facilitate matters.
Cement Walks for Whole City.
The ordinance, creating a cement dis
trict for the whole city, was passed by
a good majority, although Councllmen
Dunning, Concannon and a few others
opposed it. It prohibits the laying of any
more wooden sidewalks ln the city limits.
Mayor Simon prevented the Council
from passing an ordinance, ordering a
ten-inch water main laid on Hawthorne
avenue, from East Water to East Thir
teenth streets, as the Water Board, on
the previous day, refused to grant the
request of Whitney L. Boise and other
property-owners for such a main, it being
decided that an eight-inch main is suf
ficient. The property-owners pay for the
smaller and the city the larger main.
Councilman Baker, after carefully con
sidering the proposed "daylight" ordi
nance, introduced it. explaining that
there may be merit in the idea, and It
was referred to the committee on health
and police. It proposes to turn the
standard time ahead one hour from May
1 to October 1 each year and give people
more daylight hours in which to work.
Mayor 'Simon decided the policy of the
administration as to giving permission
to mendicants, deformed persons and the
blind to sell goods without payment of
licenses on the streets. Application of
Mrs. J. Goldstein for a 'permit was rec
ommended to be granted by report of the
license committee, but the Council vote
was 7 to 7. Mayor Simon voted against
granting the permit.
No Picnic for Police Band.
The Mayor instructed Councilman Beld
lng, by way of suggestion, to move the
indefinite postponement of consideration
on the proposed ordinance, -appropriating
S00 to send the police band to Seattle
Portland day. Mr. Beldlng so moved.
The Mayor will not sanction the expendi
ture of public funds" for any sort of
junket.
Resolutions, requesting the Board of
Health to name a location for the pro
posed new crematory, and requesting the
Executive Board to furnish a design
cost of construction and site for a new
City Jail building, were adopted. A reso
lution, asking the Executive Board to
proceed with the drawings and plans of
the new Broadway bridge, was also
adopted.

GUILD'SLMEJEAL ON
COJIPANY WILL BUY AXD IM
PROVE PROPERTY.
Sidney Sntitli at H.?d of Movement
to Improve Low Land by Carry
ing Out Old Project.
Local and Seattle capitalists have
formed a syndicate which is negotiat
ing with R. s. Howard. Jr.. receiver
of the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany for the purchase of the Gold
smith hill and Guilds Lake and sur
rounding property. which are in
cluded among the assets of the sus
pended bank. It is the purpose of the
prospective purchasers to execute the
original scheme of the Colonial In
vestment Company, a subsidiary com
pany of the defunct bank, by filling in
Guild's Lake and converting it into
attractive and desirable property for
business and residence purposes.
Other than to admit that negotiations
are pending for the purchase by a
syndicate of the Goldsmith and Guild's
Lake properties, Receiver Howard yes
terday refused to discuss the subject.
Neither would he disclose the names
of the men who contemplate acquiring
this property. However, it is known
that Sidney Smith, a well-known Port
land contractor. Is one of the prime
movers in effecting the organization
of the syndicate which has been
formed.
While the original plan for making
the Guild Lake property habitable was
proposed by the Colonial Investment
Company, the project was undertaken
by Lafe Pence, who is now in the
East. Through the subsidiary com
pany, several thousand dollars of the
funda of the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company were advanced indirectly to
Pence, as contractor, to carry into exe
cution the plans of the original pro
moters. The bank suspended before
the scheme could be consummated.
Pence has no part In the new project.
It is known that the prospective pur
chasers of this property regard the
idea entirely feasible and it is said the
syndicate represents sufficient avail
able capital to complete the undertak
ing. Receiver' Howard is known to re
gard this part of the bank's assets In
the same light that he does other prop
erty included ln the same inventory
and Is desirous of converting it into
cash in the amount due the bank at the
earliest opportunity that the creditors
may profit accordingly.
This transaction. if consummated,
and there is but little question that the
pending deal will be closed soon, is of
great importance not alone to the in
terests of the creditors of the bank
but to the city at large and its con
tinued development. It means the re
clamation for settlement and improve
ment of a large tract of land which is
increasing in value ln proportion as the
city expands and the demands for more
business and residence property in
creases. EFFORTS TO SAVE FAIL

Gilbert C. Price. 26 years old. who had

made desperate efforts to save the
drowning man, and each barely escaped
a similar fate in the victim's frantic
clutches. W oodward was carried down

vise-like hold. The body was recovered
more than two hours later.

assistance. Gat-het went to hc-ln h'-m.
but Price, frantic from fear, threw his
arms around Gatchet. They sank from
view, and Gntchet broke away and came
to the surface.
Woodward then tried to help Price.
He reached him only to meet with the
same result. Locked in Price's arms.
Woodward went down with him twice,
and only by a superhuman effort was he
able to struggle away just before he him
self would have drowned. In the mean
time, Adams, seeing the distress of his
companions, hastily threw off his clothes
and, diving into the water, essayed to
save Price. His efforts were without
avail, and Price rank from view while
the others made their way with some
difficulty to th slough bank.
Price was an Englishman, who had
been in this country for two years. For
the pust year he had been ln North Yam

Mrs. Melville G.
Divorce of
Bradley.
MAY PROSECUTE WOMAN
Now Living ln Portland as Sirs.
John Kakouras Knew Bradley's
Whereabouts When Police
Were Seeking Him.
While the police are waiting for Mel
ville G. Bradley, slayer of Patrolman
John W. Gittlnga, to be returned from
Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he is under
arrest, incidents are shaping themselves
about Mrs. Bradley; now living: In Port
land as Mrs. John Kakouras, which are
rapidly bringing- her more into the
foreground or this sensational case.
An investigation begun in the Dis
trict Attorney's office by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Fitzgerald regarding
Mrs. Bradley's marriage to Kakouras
has brought out information from the
woman's own lips, as a result of which
criminal prosecution, may be instituted
against her for bigamy.
In an Interview with Deputy District
Attorney Fitzgerald, to whose office
she had been summoned to make a
statement regarding Bradley's actions
the night Gittings was killed, she made
admissions which showed that she was
ln communication with Bradley after
he had fled the vlty. It was virtually
established that she had never procured
a divorce from Bradley before marrying
Kakouras, who is one of the pro
prietors of the Stockholm saloon and
lodging-house corner of Third and
Everett streets.
That she withheld knowledge . of
Bradley's hiding place from the police
she admitted for the first time to
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald.
"H was herding sheep in Washington,
near Prosser." she said, '-die sent me
word that he had a tent, a cooking
outfit and two horses, and wanted me
to come to him. I was afraid to go, but
no power on the earth could have
dragged the information from me. They
could have torn out my tongue by the
roots and I would have kept my peace.
Who was the man he sent to tell me?
I do not know."
She refused to give any further Infor
mation than this, but when questioned re
garding her divorce she grew very much
tangled. " She first told Deputy District
Attorney Hennesey that she had secured
a divorce in La Grande, Or., and later told
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald that
she had secured a divorce in Iowa. She
said that she had left Portland Just after
the killing and remained in Iowa eight
weeks, but could not even remember the
name of the town ln which the separation
which she allege she secured was granted.
Her statements are disbelieved, and a
further Investigation of her alleged di
vorce will follow. Since marrying Kakou.
ras she ran away with another man, a
countryman of Kakouras, and lived with
him in La Grande. Or., for two weeks.
