!'ibMnee of the storm of discussion
that h arlavn imnnn the enlUted men
of t!? Oregon Naval Mllfi'ua I expected
10 follow the satisfaction of the claim
for Thomas Clemens for wanes duo him
for his srlces on the. Boston durlnsr
t!ie rocoot cru!s. The leaders of th
romplalnlna; faction dropped Into the
haccaround Saturday, and It Is believed
that no further meetings similar to th
one helJ Krlday night will occur.
Clemens himself, after calling upon
I'trmnlar Capron. Saturday, visited J.
A. Beckwtth. chief petty officer on the
cruise, and asked him to aselct htm In
lls efforts to el ht pay. Mr. Heok
wlth explained to him that the pmy
f-ould only be secured through the reg
ular avenuex of "red-tape." and that It
v ould be forthcoming In Uu time,
nlonc with the pay of th regularly
enlisted men.
This was not satisfactory to the.
steward, who. not having served a
reaularly enltted man. could see no
reason why his pay should not be
forthcoming at onoe. An arranitement
was finally made for him to slim ore
his vouchers to other parties who
would advance him his money today.
( Irmens Nrd Money, Ho Sajs.
Clemens himself said that his main
chjev was to get bis salary and that ho
reed-d It at once After th promts
that his wages would be advanced him
he declared himself satisfied to let th
matter drop.
Th officers and th majority of the
men express their regret that a party
of discontented men, comparatively few.
should hart mad the efTort to produce

their fellows that they are quickly

I do not think that there are any of
the men who would not be (lad to to

In a letter to The Orcgonlan yester
day. Klchard Cates. second class pay
master yeoman, declared that tha en
ure disturbance was caused by a few
discontented Individuals, and that the
sentiment of disaffection did not extend
to t majority of the enlisted men.
-While reading the Saturday paper."
he said. "I came across the. scandal of
tl.e Naval MUttla and was greatly sur
prised at the statements made by some
of the men. ! am a mmeber of the
rTMon Naval Militia and I went on the
rrula with the Boston. I got well ac
quainted with Clemens, the steward,
and a great many of his statements are
false.
Captain Gets Valet.
"When we started on tha cruise
Clemens was cook for the crew. He told
Captain Keynolda that he would need
help and he got two ctooka. The- cap
tain told him to let the cooks do the
calley work and for him to supervise
It. In other words, Clemens was mads
commissary steward, lie held that posi
tion for a few days only, when Mr.
Reynolds told him to change and do
notMng but wait on the captain, as
he had another man to take bis place
as commissary steward.
"This man was Thomas Troger. All
who have been In Troger's company In
the Ohio National Guard know what
kind of a man ho Is. In the Oregon Na
tional Guard be was commissary stew
ard and everyone liked him. for he did
his duty and fed the men we4L
"Before he took charge of the com
missary department on the Boston we
had corned-beef hash three times a
ar. After be took charge we very
seldom had hash at all We always had
canned fruit of some kind and were fed
welL We didn't have any !?. or rakee
or Ire cream, but we. were not supposed
to be kings. We had good food, how
ever, and plenty of It. after Troger
took chars of the messroom.
"A great many of the men gave the
credit to Clemens, thlnklng.lt was his
orders to lstie such food, but in reality
t.e had nothing to do with It.
"At Astoria Mr. Troger ordered all
kinds of fresh vegetables for the men,
thinking It would do them mors good
than canned goods Clemens persuaded
t:.e paymaster to scratch out all of the
vegetables but 2S pounds of onions,
cabbages and carrots.

to prevent the men from going ashore
until the deckhanda helped the mess
nrn clear the tables. Because the lieu
tenant refused to hold th men. Clemens
hrcan cursing him until the master-at-arms
was ordered to put him In Irons.
Then Clemens went aft.
"As for Captain Reynolds being In
toxliated. he never showed himself be
fore the men In that condition. He al
ways treated them right, and If he ever
drank anything stronger than water In
his own cabin that was his buslnrsa. He
Is captain of the ship, and the captain
generally doe as he wants to.
"As to the men hissing and groaning
at the table about the food. Clemens
prevaricates. I was at every meal and
there was never any disturbance and
the men were always In the beet of
si-lrtts.
"Clemens sars that he was disgusted
with the raotatn and quit. The only
!son he quit was berause be was dis
charged on account of cursing Lieu
ten an t Stone.
Wilbur .LeOett acted anything but
the gentleman on the Breakwater com
ing home. He had his rating and uni
form takn from him and was dis
charged from the service because of
his conduct. Because he and Clemens
both got fired they think they will
rale a scandal against the officers."
It is thought bv many of the officers
and men of the Naval MUltla In Port
land that the charges made against
Captain Reynolds by the discharged
steward will be Ignored.

WILDElflSnEfDRnGS
SEW INDICTMENT CACSE OP
CONTINCKO DELAY.
Even If Legal Technicalities Are Not
Resorted To, Case, Cannot
Be Tried for Month.
Although more -than two weeks have
lapeed since Louis J. Wilde. Indicted
Jointly with W. Cooper Morris for the
alleged lsrcenr by embezzlement of
190,000 of the funds of the defunct
Oregon Trust Savings Bank, was re
turned to this state from California, he
has not' been formally arraigned to
plead to the Indictment. District At
torney Cameron could not be reached
yesterday, but It Is the understanding
of Charles E. Sumner, of Los Angeles,
who, with Dan J. Malarkey. of Port
land, has been retained to represent
Wilde, that the arraignment will take
place some time tomorrow.
"We have been ready for arraign
ment ever since a week ago Saturday."
said Mr. Sumner yesterday, "but, at the
request of the District Attorney, we
consented to a postponement until an
amended Indictment could be framed
and presented. The District Attorney
secured permission from the court to
substitute another Indictment, which. I
have been Informed, will be prepared
either today or early tomorrow, so thst
Mr. Wllde probably will be arraigned
tomorrow afternoon."
The original Indictment, returned by
a former grand Jury, on which Wllde
was brought to Oregon after a lively
legal fight at Sacramento before Gov
ernor Johnson, contained the allegation
that Wilde was an officer of the sus
pended bank he was charged with de
frauding. After the accused hank pro
moter had been extradited and brought
bark to Portland, the District Attorney
concluded to draw another Indictment
rather than proceed to a hearing and
trial with the document which repre
sented Wllde as an official of the bank.
Accordingly, a week ago today, the
date originally fixed for Wilde's ar
raignment. District Attorney Cameron
applied fo a postponement, which was
granted by the court and counsel for
Wllde. While counsel for Wilde will
not disclose their hand. It Is generally
believed that when the arraignment
take place they will pursue one of
two courses. They will either ask for
further time In which to plead, or, at
the very outset, will make a vigorous
attack on the Indictment.
At any rate, even if legal technicali
ties are not employed and Wllde con
sents to an Immediate trial, it will be
Impossible for the trial to take place
before late next month, and possibly
not until October. . The date, of the
trial will depend -entirely on the ex
tent to which Wilde's connsel resort to
legal technicalities In their effort to
defer final determination of the charge
by a Jury, and to acquit their client of
the felony with which he Is charged.

Few Co nT lotions Following Xnmer
our Arrest Discourage Officers
in Prosecuting Campaign To
ward Enforcement of Laws.
Since the" Saturday evening;, three
weeks ago. when Police Sergeant Cole
was suspended and thereby attention
was drawn to the fact that a house
cleaning in the police department was
at hand, there has been an increase in
the number of arrests of tenderloin
characters, but not such an Increase as
to demonstrate that the police have
taken to heart the warning.
Since July 30. when the present up
heaval began, there have been arrested
seven men accused directly or Indi
rectly of being parasites, eight per
sons charged with keeping disorderly
houses, 39 women vagrants. 13 illicit
dispensers of liquor, mostly women,
and 139 charged with gambling.
It is noteworthy that the great built
of these arrests have been made by
a few officers, and principally by those
specially detailed to ttle work.
Dismissals Are Frequent.
Convictions In the Municipal Court
have not kept pace even with the num
ber of arrests, dismissals being ordered
in nearly half of the cases, and In
many of those where guilt was found,
the court, in spite of the odious na
ture of the offenses, has granted sus
pensions of sentence. This In turn Is
pointed to by the. policemen,, who as
sert that they are not to blame for fail
ing to bring in greater numbers, when
they find it Impossible to secure con
victions when tbey do make arrests.
To Patrolmen Taft, Ackerman, Lytle
and Swennes, specially detailed, are due
most of the arrests of the graver sort.
The figures as to arrests for gambling
are not significant, though large, as
there has been but one real assault
upon organized gambling, and that
brought in 86 of the total of 139 ar
rests. The remaining arrests were of
lottery peddlers or "penny-ante"
players.
One Conviction Made.
First of the parasites to be brought
to Justice was Sam Mandich, arrested
on August 3. by Detectives Carpenter
and Price, who charged that he had
brought a girl here from Alaska for
immoral purposes. He received a sen
tence of 90 days. "Bob" Patterson
and Jean Pauchet, arrested by Patrol
men Lytle and Swennes on August 12.
were dismissed. Steve Marlch. arrested
by the same officers at 91 North Sec
ond street August IS, though directly
charged with being a macquereau and
found guilty by the court, received a
suspended sentence. The cases of Fer
dinand Delhos and Louis Sossman. ar
rested by the same officers, and Sam
Krasner. arrested by Detectives Hell
yer and Moloney, are still pending.
Keepers of disorderly houses have
fared well In court. Insofar as they
have been brought before It- Joe
Shoemaker, arrested by Taft and
Swennes for keeping a place at 306
Third street, and arrested by Llnnton
and Wellbrook at 269 First street,
was discharged. Ed. Donovan, one of
the alleged participants in the "Jack
pot" collected by Tony Arnaud to hush
publicity. Is still before the court on
two charges.
Women Pay Fines.
In the cases of the women vagrants
and inmates of houses, fines have been
Imposed ranging from 20 downward.
A stock fine of $100 Is imposed upon
the vendors of liquor without a li
cense, though every inference in most
of these cases, points to the use of the
"blind pigs" for worse purposes.
Consideration of the record of ar
rests for the three weeks during which
the police department has been In tra
vail, makes it clear that the policemen
have to some extent Increased their
efforts, .and that the court has to a de
gree remitted its severity. The moral
wave has not yet equalled a spurt, cov
ering about an equal length of time,
last June, when former Chief Cox
broke the weight of an impending In
dictment by spurring his officers to
increased activity. The most notable
result so far has been to increass the
number of suave persons from the un
derworld or its borders, who are to
be seen In the Municipal Court, or
putting up ball for their proteges at
the police station.
FREEDOM OF BELIEF URGED
Salt Lake Clergyman Says Church
Should Avoid Creeds.
That men may believe what they
will If they live the l'fe of helpful
service for others was the crux of a
sermon delivered by Rev. E. L Goshen,
of Salt Lake City, at the First Congre
gational Church yesterday. His sub
ject was "Religion and Literalism."
"The old orthodox position is not
true." he said, "but the literal position
Is true. The church should avoid
creeds and let men believe what they
wllL There Is only one orthodoxy, and
that is the orthodoxy of character.
The orthodoxy of belief Js a fiction.
"I mean by this that a man may be
lieve what he will and still be very
orthodox If he is working for the bet
terment of humanity. Thomas Payne
was the greatest heretic of his day. yet
he was one of the few men who made
it possible for us to be here under a
free, government today."

SOCIAL EVUITIffl
PORTLAND MAX GIVES HIS
OPINION S TO REMEDY.
Men Who Own and Rent Buildings
for Jmmoral Purposes Cause of
Trouble, Says J. D Neilan.
"J8u would not condemn the wo
man who makes her living- by selling
her body nearly a much as he would
the men who own and rent the build
ings which make traffic In her vlrtuo
possible declared J. t. Nellan, a Port
land real estate man, who was the
speaker at the men'i meeting- of the
Y. M. C. A. yesterday. The topic for
the afternoon's address and discussion
was "Jesus' Attitude Toward the So
cial Evil." Mr. Neilan continued:
We are responsible not only for the
act but for the conditions that make
possible the act. Is It possible that
the social evil could have attained the
proportions it has assumed today if
Industrial conditions had not driven
men and women to It. I believe If we
could offer to the women In that prac
tice in Portland ways to support them
selves, men would have to hunt long
and carefully for one In that business.
If this is a fact, and I believe it to
be should we not. as members of
churches and of this great organisa
tion, the Y. M. C A, than there is not
a greater for the advancement of high
thinking foT strong-minded men In the
t'nlted States why should we not In
sist that men who are members of
these organizations shall not profess
upon the floors of these organisation
the things they do not practice during
the week.
"I do not yet know it for a positive
fact, but I shall state tentatively that
95 per cent of all the buildings where
the social evil Is carried on belong
to men who are religious, who are In
churches. (Applause). Is It not. right
then, -to assume that the church has
the power within" Itself to right this
evil? I think it would. But what are
we to do about It? Shall we declare
the church Is not the institution which
will do it? I assume there will be an
awakening in the churches. There are
men in the pulpits who are striking at
this very evil.
"There are thousands of these wo
men, who. if driven out of the houses
which shelter them, could not find an
other house into which they could go.
even as kitchen maids. Don't driva
them out of Portland. It would be a
poor estimate of our duty to say.
'Drive them out.' That was not Christ's
method. He would have them con
verted to upright living. ,
"We have a right to expect that
when girls go to work that they will
be paid well enough so they will not
be tempted by the first devil In human
form who comes In contact with them
and seeks to Induce them to take the
short road to easy support."
In the discussion which followed
one speaker said the root of the whole
matter is selfishness, and the remedy
to be found in Christ. J. V.'. Palmer,
boys' secretary of the association, said
the men are to blame for the low moral
conditions of society in the large cities.
Next week portions of the report of
the Chicago vice commission will be
read and discussion will follow.
