TRIP NOT SIGNIFICANT Kegro Troops Will Not Be Ordered From Seattle Till Time 1 "Cp, He Says Visit to islands Is Merely Incidental. Secretary of War Dickinson passed through Portland yesterday afternoon on his way to San Francisco, from which city he will sail for the Philip pines tomorow. He was aboard the Shasta Limited. He and Mrs. Dickin son occupied a drawing-room and his eon, his private secretary, J. M. Clark, and S. E. Long, personal secretary to General Clarence R. Edwards, Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, were in an adjoining' compartment. The party will be met in San Francisco by Gen eral Edwards and friends. "There is no particular significance to my trip to the Philippines," said Sec retary Dickinson at the Union Station. "I have never been to the Islands and I. want to visit them in order to be bet ter acqainted with conditions, as they are under direct control of the War Department. I expect to be gone about four months'. There is nothing- out of the ordinary to call me to the Islands and there are no immediate plans for fortifications other than those mapped out along ordinary lines of improve ments. No changes are contemplated in affairs in the Islands incidental to my visit. I am simply mak'ng the trip to be better prepared to fulfill my duties. "When the Panama canal is com pleted it will give the Pacific Coast a great impetus. Of course commerce will derive the first great benefit and trans portation of all commodities across the continent will be cheapened. It will be of strategetic value to the War Depart ment and the coast defenses may be more readily strengthened. "In Seattle I met a committee of cit izens who are protesting against the Twenty-Fifth Infantry remaining at ' Fort Lawton. They made many com plaints against the colored soldiers and said they had affidavits to support their charges, but I have seen none. Only one case has been called to the atten tion of the Commanding officer. The man is under arrest and will be dealt" with according to law. If there are other violations of the law the viola tors will be arrested and dealt with accordingly. I did not conduct an in vestigation because there was nothing to investigate, as the man is under ar rest and will be given a. trial. I see no reason why a whole battalion should be moved because one of its members commits a crime. The Twenty-Fifth Infantry will remain at Fort Lawton till its time there expires." Secretary Dickinson is a Southerner and a Democrat. Although he had al ways been a Democrat, he was opposed to William Jennings Bryan. President Taft announced that his preferment for the Tennessean determined upon fitness rather than politics. Secretary Dickinson was born In Col umbus. Miss.. Jan". SO, 1851. graduated from the University of Nashville iir-1872 and studied law in Columbia College, New York; the University of Leipslc and in Paris. He was admitted to the bar in 1874 and in 1876 married Martha Overton and made his home in Nash ville. He served several times by spe cial commission on the Supreme bench of Tennessee and from 1895 to 1897 was an Assistant United States Attorney General. With his retirement from public office he became general counsel for the Illinois Central Railroad and moved to Chicago, where he retained that position and maintained a tempo rary home till he was appointed Sec retary of War. B IDG E TEST NEAR JURISDICTION AT v ISSUE Oregon Stockholders In Irrigation . Enterprise Dispute Insolvency. Raising the point of jurisdiction in the United States Court. Oregon stock holders "of the Deschutes Irrigation Company will endeavor this morning to secure a reversal of the order de claring the Crook County reclamation concern to be insolvent and will ask for a dismissal of the receiver. Attor ney L. G. Addison, representing the Columbus, Ohio, bondholders who Initi ated the suit, arrived in Portland yesterday and was in consultation with A. King Wilson during the afternoon. Attorneys Jesse Stearns and John H. Hall will contend that the interests of the Eastern bondholders of the Des chutes Irrigation Company are repre sented by the trustee named in the mortgage which secured the bond issue. The trustee is the Merchants Savings & Trust Company of Portland. The point is made that, the trustee being a resident of the same state in which the company is incorporated, any suit at law must be determined in the state courts. i Should Judge Bean retain the litiga tion in ' the United States Oourt an effort will be made by the bondholders to foreclose the mortgage, in which the plaintiffs have an interest of $359,000. The money was advanced and has been expended for the building of ditches for the irrigation of 212,000 acres of land obtained under the Carey act. The state land board secured the land and contracted with the Deschutes Com pany to develop it. The land board began an action in April to forfeit the .entire tract, but was prevailed upon to abandon its plans pending the deter mination of the present suit Tomorrow Is Crucial Point in Broadway Affairs. $172,000 BONDS TO SELL Mayor Hopeful This Can Be Done, but Makes Urgent Appeal to In- ' vestors to Consider These Bonds as Safe' Investment. Tomorrow's developments, it is thought, will determine the fate of the Broadway bridge. Tuesday has been set apart by Mayor Simon as "Solicitation day," and business men and property owners of the city will be expected to dig down deep In their pockets and come to the rescue of the project. The plan is to sell, Tuesday, the re maining unsubscribed portion of the 1250,000-block of the J2.00O.O0O Broadway bridge bond issue. Three weeks ago it was proposed by Mayor Simon that $250, 000 of the bonds be sold in small blocks at par to . local purchasers as a means to raise sufficient money to let the con tract and begin work on the bridge. In this way, it was thought, all opposition to the bridge would be overcome. "Unless we can sell this amount of the bonds," said Mayor Simon. "the bridge will not be built." So upon tomor row's developments the fate of the bridge would appear to hang. -" As the situation now stands, (78.000 of the bonds has-been subscribed to, leaving $172,000 yet to be taken. The Mayor is sanguine by an extraordinary effort on the committee of prominent business men, appointed to do the soliciting work, that amount can be raised. - . Work Against Bonds Hinted. Certain interests opposed to the con struction of the bridge are said to have been active of late in keeping down the subscription to the bonds. This causes those who want the bridge to make a stronger effort than ever to sell them locally" and at par. "I believe our efforts to raise enough money Tuesday to start work on the bridge will be successful," said Mayor Simon. "I have received assurances from several business firms that they will subscribe to the issue. Many Individuals have given-me a like assurance, but it is certain the entire amount will not be taken unless every person who would reasonably be expected to take some of these bonds does his share. "1 hope all fully realize the seriousness of the situation." he continued. "The bonds are as safe an investment as one could make, bearing i per cent Interest and running for 30 years. I invite the attention of investors not interested In the matter from a public-spirited stand point to examine into the investment." The- Woman's Club committee, ap pointed at the request of the Mayor to assist in soliciting for the sale of bonds, will meet in the -clubroom, W. O. W. hall, at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. "It is urgently requested that every member of the committee be present as near the hour named as possible," said Mrs. Sarah A. Evans yesterday. "As this is the only means, owing to the very short notice, of making known the ap pointments, I want all club members to read carefully the list of the committee members."

COURT RUNS BEHIND Cases Will Accumulate in Sum mer Vacation Period. MURDER TRIAL GOES OVER Webb and Sirs. Kersh to Have More Time to Prepare Defense Judge Gantenbein Urges Reforms in Criminal - Practice. When the Multnomah County Circuit Court adjourns July 2 for the Summer vacations! of the Judges, it will be about two weeks behind with its work. But with two months) in which attorneys may bring in new suits, it is probable that much more business than this will await the opening of court, September 5. Four cases set for trial last week await hearing today. Tho docket is full until July 1. however, so that the Judges 'will be obliged to handle cases expeditiously in order to clear away all business set for trial in June by Saturday night. Judge R. R. Butler, of Condon, has been sent to Portland by Chief Justice Moore at the request of Presiding Judge Morrow to assist in clearing the docket. Judge Morrow spent several afternoons last week with the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias, leaving a note on his door that if urgent business were required, attorneys might see the other judges. Murder Inquiry Expedited. Judge Morrow urged District Attorney Cameron last week to hasten as much as possible the investigation of the John son murder, saying he thought the case should be tried before the vacation period. The grand Jury was called to gether and, after investigation, indicted J. p. Webb and Mrs. Carrie Kersh, Fri day night. They were arraigned Satur day, and Judge Morrow set "today as the time for them to plead. But after con sultation with the other Judges, who thought it unwise to "railroad" the pair through the courts, he continued the time for pleading until July 5. Judge Morrow was reminded by his colleagues upon the bench that two members of the Supreme Court were in favor of reversing the Finch murder case because Finch main tained that his case was crowded through the courts in such a way that he did not secure a fair trial. Although the rules of the Circuit Court provide that the presiding Judge shall set the cages to be' tried during his term, which shall last for a year, and pass In rotation from judge to judge. Presid ing Judge Morrow has during hie term set about 12 cases for trial in Septem ber, when Judge Cleland will be presid ing judge. Other Cases Are Waiting. Besides the cases already set. about20 civil suits are awaiting trial, and 12 ap peals from the Municipal Court are wait ing to be set down on the calendar. Judge' Gantenbeln will spend his Sum mer vacation at Hood River, where he will be from July 6 to July 30. He will return to Portland every Friday, how ever, for the weekly session of the Ju venile Court. During the Summer, Judge Gantenbeln wiil take up the study of reform of the criminal law. He says the criminal laws are about 300 years behind the times. He intends to frame several new laws which he will submit to the next session of the Oregon legislature for passage. A bill, prepared by Judges Gantenbein and Cleland and presented to the last Legislature by John B. Coffey, failed to pass.- But Judge Gantenbein says if the Legislature fails to take action on measures which he believes will benefit the state, he will submit them to the Voters upon Initiative petition.
