MILITIA GETS FINE SHIP OKF.GOX CITIZEN SAILORS WILL CRUISE ON PENNSYLVANIA. Cotly Cruier Sutloned at Paget Sound Nary Yard, Will Be Brought to Portland as Practice Craft. When tha Oregon Naval Militia leaves for Ita Summer cruise In the Pacific, some time In July, the armored cruiser Pennsylvania will be used for the pur pose. This information, given out yes terday by Lieutenant W. H. Toax. U. S. In charge of tha United States branch hydrographlc office and the naval recruiting station In Portland, should reassure the members of the Naval Militia as to future cruises sine the announcement was made that tha Boston would not again go to sea. The fact that a. ship of the Pennsyl vania's class is to be used for th training of Oregon naval militiamen is regarded by officers of that organisa tion as an indication of the Increasing Importance the Federal Government places on this branch of the naval serv ice. There was some anxiety among ti e Portland members of the Naval Mi litia yesterday when the pi ess dispatch appeared announcing that the Boston would not again he used. Nothing- was said in this dispatch as to what Bhln would be substituted, and this fact led many to believe that it might mean the elimination of the usual Summer cruise. The Pennsylvania la roar lying at t!i Bremerton Navy-yard with a skeleton crew. It Is proposed to complete the crew with members of the Oregon Na val Mllltla when th ship goes to sea In July. She is an armored cruiser of 13.- tons and a horsepower of tt sO and a speed of 21 knots.- She lg considered one of the finest vessels In the Navy. She carries a main battery of four eight-Inch breerhloading- rifles and 14 six-inch rapid-fire guns. In her sec ondary battery she has 11 three-Inch rapid-fire. 11 three-pounder separate ammunition guns and eight smaller sruns. The Pennsylvania waa launched In 1J0S. Her cost wa tS.TC7.ST. Sliej will represent the costliest ship that ever entered th harbor of Portland when she drops anchor here next July. The Summer cruise on the Pennsyl vania it Is regarded will be of much more value than any heretofore taken for the reason that the guns and equip ment and engines will afford a mor complet training than would be possi ble on a shin of the type of the Boston.

' He declared that although beaten last election in Oregon there la no occasion for glvlnc up. He aaid that a movement has beeu started to have th Home Rule amend ment to the Constitution tested in th Supreme Court, Mr. Burke expressed th belief that the law will be declared In conflict with the atate police pow ers. In the course of his remarks Mr. Burk declared that the Christian peo ple should see to It that District At torneys be elected who will enforce tha law. Faith la F.vaas Expressed. "In Multnomah County," said Mr. Burke, "we believe that Walter H. Evans la the man who will enforce the law. and have arrived at that con clusion after careful Investigation. We also consider J. T.

He aaid that the boys are dis orderly, rude and discourteous to the teacher and that a teacher to succeed In maintaining order In a Sunday school class of boys must have a club In one hand and the Bible In the other.

Thst our peopl should awaken to th political ncroaehmenta of th Cath olic, hlerachy upon th civil and Tensions liberties of our Government and that we u-i the us of all honorable means to pro tect our rights as a Nation. A resolution waa adopted approving the Oregon Anti-Saloon League, but waa amended from the first draft so as not to include offering; the use of the churches to the league. There was considerable discussion, but it waa the-sentiment of the association that while endorsing- the work of the Anti Saloon League it would not recommend that pastors open their churches to its speakers, that matter being; left in th hands of th pastora of the . local churches.

MORROW BARS TESTIMONY Indictments or Larfleld and Fuller for Forgery Obtained by Ruse, Say Witnesses in Defense of ColeDlsmlssal to Be Asked. Charges that District Attorney Cam eron deliberately defrauded the March Grand Jury in the drafting of the in dictments "charging perjury against George Larfleld and Guy Fuller, po licemen, were made by A. G. Lambert, Manuel Hallock and M. C. Banfield. called at their own request as wit nesses for the defense In the Cole case yesterday. These three men were members of the March Grand Jury. Judge Morrow ruled that their tes timony should -be excluded, but Mr. Banfield, acting as spokesman, told off the witness stand the story which they were not given an opportunity to tell as sworn witnesses. ' Larfleld and Fuller are the principal witnesses against 13. W. Cole, an ex Sergeant of police now on trial In Judge' Morrow's department for a sec ond time on a charge of grafting from women of the underworld. The Jury disagreed the first time. Couple Reverse Testimony. Larfleld and Fuller worked under Cole in the South Portland district. When the Sergeant was suspended and was given a hearing before the Civil Service Commission they swore that he hsd never taken a dollar to their knowledge, and gave him an all around clean bill of health. At the trial they reversed their testimony, swearing that they had collected money from undesir able women and given It to him, Lar fleld declaring that the contributions sometimes amounted to as much as $200 a week. The March Grand Jury took up the subject and decided to indict the two men for perjury. They voted to have the indictments so drawn that it would appear that tho perjury had been com mitted at the trial and not before the Civil Service Commission, their honest belief being, according to Mr. Banfield, that this was the case. In addition they did not wish to prejudice Cole's second trial, Mr. Banfield said. Indictments Presented I.ale. "Tho Indictments were not presented to us till a few minutes before the jury made its final report," said Mr. Ban field. "We supposed that they were drafted according to the way we had voted and it was only a few days ago we discovered that our wishes had been disregarded. These men swore falsely one time or the other, and we believed, from all the circumstances, that it was more likely at the trial. Instead the Indictments show us ac cusing them of perjuring themselves before the Civil Service Commission. I believe that District Attorney Cameron had faulty indictments drawn pur posely. "Deputy District Attorney Page came before us and for two hours sought to dissuade us from indicting . these two men, saying that it would prejudice the trial of Cole. Imagine sending a man to the penitentiary on the testimony of self-confessed grafters and women of the underworld. We will go before the- April grand Jury and see if we can not have the indictments returned." Character Witnesses Called. Charles Gritxmaeher, ex-Chief of Po lice; H. IL Northup. ex-County Judge, and William Frazier, an ex-Sheriff of Multnomah County, were called as character witnesses by the defense. All spoke, highly of Cole. On cross-examination by Deputy District .Attorney Pasre the statement was made by Judge Northup that he still considers Cole's reputation and character good despite the charges against him. Attorney Mc Allister took the stand himself to swear that Larfleld and Fuller had told him repeatedly and emphatically that there was no evidence against Colo and that he was being persecuted. An other witness called was ex-Police Captain Bailey, who testified that Cole had repeatedly asked for the use of plainclothes men to obtain evidence against Immoral women In the South Portland district, the women having become acquainted with the uniformed ofticers. There were many raids under Cole's direction. Bailey said. The case has gone over till Monday. Thw defense will conclude the Introduc tion of testimony before noon of that dav, Mr. McAllister told the court, and the Jury probably will retire in the af ternoon. ' . GARDEN WORK.
