ON V. S. S. MARYLAND AT SEA. VIA
1LWACO. Wash, June 17. (By wireless
to The Oregronian, delayed In transmis
sion.) Heading down the coast at a
15-knot clip, which will be continued
lor 24 hours under orders for a coal
test, the second annual cruise of the
Oregon Naval Militia has taken shape.
The Maryland is holding to a course be
tveen eight and nine mtles off shore,
and at 7:30 o'clock passed Cape Meares.
It is calculated that at 7 o'clock In
the morning the vessel will pass Cape
Blanco, but by then will be about 26
miles off shore, and she is to steam 15
miles to the westward of the whistling
buoy. San Francisco is to be reacnea
between S and S o'clock Wednesday
morning, and 24 hours after coaling
ship the cruise will be continued soum.
It has been a strenuous day for the
Naval Militia division, and the tired
members have the satisfaction of know
ing they have participated in all work
performed since leaving Portland. In
the fireroom. facing the ten boilers
that are in use of the battery of 1. are
men from Oregon, and also in the black
gang are oilers who are pouring lubri
cant where needed, aiding In work that
they became familiar with aboard the
cruiser Boston.
Mllltla Meat Help 1.1ft Anchors.
In the deck divisions are scattered
the militiamen, and they did their
share in getting the Maryland's
anchors up before leaving Portland
They helped in any other labors to
which the regular crew turned.
It was 9:10 o'clock when the Mary
land's bow was pointed down stream
and the cruise began, and at 10 o clock
the mixed crew was summoned to quar
ters and drill. In that drill citizen
sailors bad their first task of calisthen
ics as performed aboard a man-o'-war.
With the same spirit of willingness that
they evidenced in assisting In getting
up boats and stowing deck gear, the
state force followed the snappy exer
cise movements. They displayed no
fatigue on being assembled for the
same movements at 1:30.
In the morning they were given drill
In foot movements, ending with the
several minutes in double time on the
quarter deck. Drill in the afternoon
was with -small arms. and. while the
militiamen were put through the paces
by regular officers, the executives of
the militia were called on to handle
their men when they had been assem
bled by companies. Big-gun drill like
wise was added to the day's routine in
assembling.
In the meantime the men were curtly
told that only the uniform prescribed
must be worn, and that the cuffs of
blouses were to be turned down, and
similar details looked after. It was un
necessary to repeat the admonition.
Good Speed Malatalaed.
The Maryland covered the distance
from Portland to the Columbia River
light vessel, in seven hours and 20 min
utes, and that time would have been
rut had it not been compulsory to slow
down in the lower harbor for a launch
to come alongside for Pilot Pease and
Harbormaster Speler, who made the
rjver trip.
The Maryland entered the Columbia
drawing 25. S feet, and drew 25.8 feet on
' the outward trip, having taken 300 tons
of water at Portland. There was not
the slightest difficulty experienced, and.
although she left down with seven
boilers working, two additional were
cut in at 12:10, and the tenth boiler
later. She covered one stretch of five
miles in It minutes, and another of 20
miles In one hour.
Captain Elllcott left the bridge only
when the Maryland was well beyond
the light vessel.
A smooth bar and a current setting
to tne southward were the favorable
conditions, but a decidedly fresh north
west wind was on.
Few of the militiamen have been
bothered so far by sea sickness, al
though some sought resting places soon
after getting outside.

promised to free them they had been
caught in the raid entirely as consid
eration for their testimony, but instead
they are held in the County Jail as wit

lied In Municipal Court when they gave
evidence tending to show that the de
fendants knew Immorality was being

pulled or ridden around several blocks,
much to the delight of onlookers, in
cluding many autoists who stopped to
see the passing show.
The youngsters displayed ingenuity
in preparing their costumes and floats.
There were decorated wagons, baby
doll carriages, velocipedes and tricy
cles. Flowers, drapery' and toys were
used in the floats. Prizes for all were
provided by the grown folks of the
neighborhood.

DOMESTIC BUREAU FORMED
Coterie Club Plans Service Branch
to Aid Maids and Mistresses.
The coterie Club Has organized a
Domestic Service Bureau. The bureau
will be of benefit both to housekeep
ers and housemaids, because it will
protect the Interests of both parties,
and will adjust all differences ot opin
ion between mistress and maid. The
Domestic Service Bureau is designed
to sustain itself financially, but is not
intended to be a money making enterprise.
To place this enterprise firmly on its
feet, Mrs. Mina Larowe has vol
unteered to read "Every woman." This
play is a satire on modern affairs, and
Is therefore exceedingly Interesting,
a fact which was amply proved by the
attention given when it was read -.t
the Multnomah Hotel February last
There will be musical numbers also.
The programme will be at Eilers Hall
uursday night.
Salem Aids Resident Laborers.
SALEM. Or.. June IS. (Special.)
The City Council last night passed an
ordinance requiring contractors who
hold contracts for city work to give
preference to resident laborers of Sa
lem over foreign or outside workers.
Deputy Sheriff Leonard, was' th
chief witness yesterday for the prose
cutlon in the trial of Jack Roberts for
double murder on the Whitehouse
Road. .He detailed the circumstantial
evidence gathered against the defend
ant by Sheriff Stevens, himself and
other deputies in the Sheriff's office
and identified several articles Intro
duced in evidence.
While Leonard was on the stand th
state produced a box of cayenne pep
per. It was identified by the witness,
who said that it had been found in
the pack which Roberts had in his
possession when arrested. The state
also produced bits of charred paper.
which it was contended are the rem
nants of the label of the box.
These pieces of paper, the witness
declared, were picked up in the old
Jonathan Tice house, where Roberts
is supposed to have passed the night
before the murder. A new tin of cay
enne pepper with the label intact was
introduced for comparison.
Pepper Exhibit Explained.
The state infers that Roberts had
the pepper for the purpose of throw
ing hounds off his trail. Leonard said
that Roberts had several times spoken
ot bloodhounds and the effect .ot
cayenne pepper on tnem.
In the deserted Tice house also were
found a piece of pillow casing which
corresponds to a fragment found near
where the murder occurred, the rem
nants of a vest from the lining of
which the state contends the mask
was cut and the cherry pits similar to
those used to weight the mask which
the murderer left behind him on the
road.
This witness also identified a piece
of leather from the back of a pair of
suspenders. This also had been found
in the . Tice house, he said. At this
juncture the suspenders worn by Rob
erts were produced and the jurors
satisfied themselves by personal ex
amination that the piece of leather
corresponds to a fagged piece missing
from the back of the defendants sus
penders.
The defense brought out on cross-
examination that the leather
found on April 13, but that it was not
till April 25 that the discovery of the
defendant's probable connection with
it was made.
Merchant Identifies Revolver.
For the purpose of strengthening
the proof of the defendant's actual
possession of the 12-gauge pump gun
in evidence Deputy District Attorney
Fitzgerald called to the stand Frank
Bishop, a hardware merchant of Goble,
Or. Bishop said that the defendant
was in his store on December IS or 19,
1911. and that the place was burglar
ized two nights later. He positively
Identified a revolver as his property
and said that there was also taken at
that time a knife, a pump gun and i
cartridge belt similar to those in evi
dence. He was unable to, positively
identify the rifle because its number
bad been tiled oil.
The defendant's attorneys objected
to Bishop's testimony, declaring that
it was evidence of another crime and
immaterial to the proof of the charge
contained In the murder indictment.
Judge Morrow overruled the objection.
Fred Marshall, who lives near the
home of Roberts' mother, in Clacka
mas County,, southeast of Oregon
City, said that the defendant was anx
lous to see the newspapers. This was
after Roberts had reached his home.
where he arrived the night following
that of the shooting.
Papers Adamlttea Over Protest.
Marshall said that he handed Rob
erta a copy of a twice-a-week news
paper of Portland, but that the de
fendant, after glancing through it.
said that it contained nothing about
the subject in which he was inter
ested.
Adolph Walter testified that Roberts
rode with him out of Oregon City on
March 30, but commented only briefly
on the murder, changing the subject
thereafter when it was referred to.
Deputy Sheriff Leonard said that
Roberts had admitted reading news
papers ot Portland on tne nignt oi
March SO although he was not a fre
quent reader.
