WEST MAY DELAY

DISBAND
Naval Organization Will Have
Opportunity to Tell Why .
It Should Exist.
BOARD TO HOLD MEETING
Governor Would Oust Rlrfphcrd and
Give Place Co Simpson ait Soon
as Latter Qualifies Court
Decisions Are Cited.
HAL. EM. Or.. June 1 1. (Special.)
Qovernor West tomorrnw will attend
a meeting of the Naval Militia Board
which will be held In Portland, when
aueatlons relative to the dlabandmen
of the mtlltla'wlll he discussed and an
opportunity given the militia to fur
nlsh reaaona why It ahould continue to
xlst at state expense.
Thin may delay the Govern or' a plan
to disband Immediately the militia.
The Governor also atated today that he
haa discovered a method to keep Khep
herd from becoming captain of the Ore
gon Naval Militia.
Meat Favora ftlmpena.
"It la certain that If Shepherd could
how how he could continue to be Cap
tain he would have had no organisa
tlnn to captain." said the Governor.-
The present plan of the Kxecutlve Is
to eommlaalon Commander Hlmpenn aa
Captain after the latter paaara the ex
amlnatlon, which he took today. Th
law providea, aaya Governor West, that
the appointees under the old Oregon
naval reserve were to hold until their
ucceaaora were elected and qualified.
The court held that as no successor
had been elected and qualified there ap
pointments still held good.
Oa 11 a a Kept fee ret.
Shepherd contended that the Captain
ahould be elected by the men. while
on the other side It waa the contention
that tliey ahould be elected by the
officers of the line, and the latter con
tentlon waa upheld by the court. Con
sequently Hlmpson was elected, but he
haa not qualified. The Governor states
that as soon as he qualities he will be
. come Captain In place of Shepherd.
"But that does not argue that the
Naval Militia will not be disbanded.
havea plan In view now which 1 will
announce later if It la decided not to
disband the Naval Militia. But I see
no more reason why the Naval Militia
' should exist now than I could see
few days ago," said the Governor.
SHEPI!ERI TlfREATEXS EXPOSE
Action of Governor West Character
Izril as "Dishonorable."
"Dishonorable" Is the way George 8.
Kheuherd characterises Governor
West's proposal to give E. M. tilmpaon
a chance to qualify aa captain, of the
Oregon Naval Militia, and to then com
mission him, thus ousting Shepherd
from this place.
"It will be futile for the Governor
to do this," he said. "It does not con
form to my views of honor. Secondly,
It Is In violation of the law. Simpson
has been examined and has been dis
qualified for the position of captain,
lie has been comrataaloned aa com
mander, and haa accepted. To put him
through a bogus examination now
would compel ma to take my case to
the Supreme Court. I can't stand by
and let them go through with a crook
ed deal. If they would do things In
an honorable way I would be satis
fled. Otherwise, I will be compelled to
exposs them.
"I sm fighting for the men. not for
myself. I have a petition from the
men asking me to begin suit. It Is
signed by 30, ail who were on hoard
the night It was circulated.
I shall file charges of drinking
against Rober. Last Tuesday night he
was trying to tell the men who were
present at drill about the cruise.
"I am not drunk, boys,' he said, "but
I can't talk.'
"Most of this tight has been over
drlr.klng. I have drawn up soma rales
for the government of the men, and I
would Insist that they be carried out.
Lieutenant Lang, executive officer
of the cruiser Maryland, which will
carry the Oregon Naval Militia on a
ten-days' cruise, said yesterday that
officers of the vessel who attended
reception - aboard the cruiser Boston
rcpqrted that , men of the militia re
sponded to orders and executed duties
with more promptness than Is gener
ally displayed in the regualr service
and that few of the Maryland's crew
t, could outpoint them In behavior on
' deck.

' CORDOVA. Alaska. June IS. No
word was received from th revenue
cutter Manning by the Naval wireless
station her today, and th fat of th
people on Afognak and Raspberry Ial
anda and on the mainland In the dis
trlct which waa laid waste by the vol
canlc eruption last week Is still un
known.
The wireless men are making every
effort to communicate with th Man

ments aboard the revenue cutters make
long-distance operation almoat Impos
slble except under the beat condition
The long period of daylight prevallln
throughout the Northland at this tlm
of year Interferes greatly with wire
less work, and there are only a few
hours In the middle of the brief Alas
kan night when meaaages can be trans
mitted satisfactorily.
Several relief, ships carrying stronger
wireless Instruments than those In the
revenue cutter service ar on thel
way to the atrlcken district and It 1
hoped that communication will b re
stored soon.
Reports are ' reaching her dally of
the deatructlon of all kinds of garden
truck and grasses throughout all of
Southwestern Alaska by the volcanic
gaaes and ash which spread over
large area during tse two days erup

trees are turning brown and It Is feared
that much vegetation will not survive.
The military cable connecting Cor

WASHINGTON'. . June 13. Secretary
SUmson today ordered 10.000 army
rations sent to Sewsrd, Alaska, 34
hours distant from Kadlak. They will
be distributed by revenue cutters. The
cutter McColloch. according to calcula
tlona here, should have arrived at Ka

extending relief.
The cutters Thetis and Tahoma also
are steaming to the assistance of the
suffering people. The revenue cutter
Rush at Port Townsend. Wash., Is tak

XO FEAR IS FELT FOR FISH
AsJx-s Have Not Polluted Alaska
Waters Is Belief.
ASTORIA. Or June 11. (Special.)
Persons who are familiar with condl
tlons relative to the fisheries In North
western Alaska do not believe that the
recent volcanic eruptions will hava the
effect of keeping the fish away for
any length of time.
At this seaann of the year the aalmon
are still In salt water, as It Is too esrly
for them to ascend the treshwster
streams. The rise and fall of the tides
at Nushsgak and other points In that
section is 14 feet and this would soon
carry away the ashes which fell along
the beaches and clear the water of any
pollution.
