Senate Probers Regaled With
Testimony Offered by
George S. Shepherd.
CAPRON OFFERS TO FIGHT
Attack of Witness Momentarily
Angers Object Results So Far
Show Little Touching Of-.-
fieers Now In Charge.
After hours of routine testimony in
the Inquiry of the Senate committee on
the Oregon Naval Militia, held in the
office of General Finzer last night, the
committee passed a half hour In truly
Jlomeric laughter over the recital of
George S. Shepherd, who was among
the- last of the witnesses called and
who rehearsed his grievances against
the organization from the beginning.
Shepherd was no respecter of persons
or place, and whacked indiscriminately
at the present officers, of the Naval
Militia and the Oregon National Guard,
selecting A. J. Capron, of the Naval
Militia, as his particular object of at
tack. He objected to the fact of Mr. Cap
ron's having served on the board of
Inquiry in his controversy with Captain
Blaln. General Finzer explained that
Capron had been placed on the board
because there existed two factions and
he was regarded as neutral.
"He was more than neutral," snorted
Shepherd. "He double-crossed both
Bides."
Objections Are Made.
He complained that the board of in
quiry had asked him if he "supported
Bowerman for Governor," which he re
garded as foreign to the discussion in
hand, and said, "I always got along
well with General Finzer when we
were both together, but things hap
pened to me when I went away." Pay
Ins his compliments to other members
of the board of Inquiry, he objected to
"Sam White, as a bunch-grasser that
1ldn't know anything about naval
matters."
Capron and General Finzer preserved
their good humor and the Senate com
mittee rested in Its chairs and roared
with laughter as the recital went on.
To the query whether he had any
objection to the naval militia in Its
present organization he declared that
he had and proceeded to enumerate
them.
To his objection against officers be
ing allowed pay while on a cruise,
Capron pointed out that this was In
accordance with the state law and
thereby drew upon himself another
volley from Shepherd.
"Yes. it's on the state-laws, all right
that's one of the things you slipped
over on us," insisted Shepherd.
"That's a conf Come outside, Shep
herd, and I'll lick you for that, tor it
Isn't true," said Capron. .
Shepherd Continues Talk.
"All right, I wouldn't mind being
licked by you," replied Shepherd, .with
. out moving, and then relapsed into a
sotto voce dissertation on his opinion
of Mr. Capron in general.
"Not a man on board the ship liked
you " was audible. "Called you grand
ma "
Capron. restored to good humor,
laughed heartily,
"Maybe I am I'm 54 years old," he
said.
Ft. L. Whitcomb, the last witness, be
ing called. Senator Joseph, who con
ducted the Inquiry, rang down the cur
tain on the comedy and resumed the
serious business of the session.
The testimony of the entire evening,
in which a -score or more members and
ex-members of the Naval Militia were
examined, showed little that touched
fn any way the present officers or the
organization as it now stands. The
testimony relating to rumors of mis
management on the part of former
Captain Keynolds was not distinct for
the most part and consisted chiefly of
hearsay Information. Most of the wit
nesses were called last night at the in
stance of O. H. Staron, who was dis
qualified in recent examinations in the
Naval Militia.
Organisation la Flavored.
B. B. Montag. Chaplain Olson, John
McXulty and others declared their con
fidence in the Naval Militia as organ
ized and said that they believed the
organization was superior to minor in
ternal troubles, which had been magni
fied by parties not fully informed. Mr.
McNulty declared that he believed much
credit for aid In beginning the organ
ization was due Mr. Shepherd.
The principal adverse testimony
dealt with personal delinquencies of
men who had at one. time been mem
bers of the naval militia and whose
actions appeared to have been not nec
essarily due to their relation with the
organization.
In pursuing queries regarding rumors
that had been circulated to the effect
that one. J.. W. N. Norris had taken
women aboard the Boston at improper
hours. Dan McKinnon. on the stand,
started some Testimony that looked in
teresting: at the first, but ended In
causing an uproarious laugh.
RagKlng Is Told Of.
"Yes," he said, in response to the Sen
ator's query, "there were some women
on board the Boston when it was at
the Jefferson-street dock."
"When?"
"They had some kind of a dance
there. I think there were about 60
couples aboard."
"Did you see anything that appeared
to you to be improper in any of their
beliavior?
"Oh. yes, sir!"
lie scratched his head dubiously when
ssked to specify and the investigators
loaned forward with interest.
"Well." he said at last, "there were
some of them ragging on the deck."
CASES WILL GO BY LOT
irvuit Judges Hereafter to Have
Individual IlocVels.
Beginning today, all cases filed in
Circuit Court will be assigned to thj
various judges by lot and each judge
v'.ll have his individual docket nd have
entire charge of his cases from incep
tion to conclusion. This will pracli
ca'ly do away with the presiding judge.
although the Judges will hold that tit3
in rotation for two months each, the
reason being that It is necessary for.
someone to have charge of the grana
jury and general charge of the distri
button to the various departments of
those comprlslur the trial Jury.
All cases undisposed of filed as far
lack as January 1, 1910. have been di
vided among the judges by lot and
every case filed from today on will be
numbered as received and' the number
written on a slip of paper and put in a
box. The following morning in the
courtroom of the presiding Judge these
numbers will be drawn from the box
and placed in five heaps, one for eacu
or the judges, and this will be a regu
lar procedure every morning of a judi
cial day.
As all divorce cases will go into the
hopper with the others, the new sys
tem means that default divorce Friday,
which has come to be practically rn
institution in the Multnomah County
Circuit Court, is gone forever. Here
after the Judges will hear default di
vorces falling to their lot at such times
as they may elect, probably using them
to fill in chinks when there is nothing
else ready for their attention.
Judge McGinn said that he will not
amploy a reporter hereafter to take
testimony in default divorce cases.
Judge Morrow said that he will hear
ex parte matters at the opening of
court in the mornings and afternoons
and that Saturday will be motion day
in his department. The other judges
probably will make somewhat similar
rules for their departments, although
Judge McGinn declared that he would
not tie himself down to a definite pro
gramme along this line.
It was agreed that in pressing cases
the presiding judge may take charge at
inception of such special proceedings as
mandamus, injunction and habeas cor
pus. The number of back cases, is 3500.
The Judges intend to get busy with
t!iese and get them off the dockets.
In many instances settlements have
been reached between the parties. Or
ders of dismissal are expected to come
fast. Attorneys will be forced to move
in these cases, as it is the desire of all
the Judges to get up to date with their
work.

Appropriates $1000 for Prelim-'

TACOMA, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
Precipitating a struggle that may in
volve the entire trade relations of
Washington and Oregon with Cali
fornia, the West Coast Lumber Manu
facturers' Association, at its annual
meeting here today, adopted a resolu
tion putting the question of the San
Francisco boycott on finished fir lum
ber in the hands of a committee of
seven and appropriating $1000 from the
general fund to carry on the prelimin
ary work. The committee will be
named by the new president.
A resolution, that the association use
Its influence with members of the Leg
islature to withhold an appropriation
for the Panama-Pacific Fair until some
definite assurance had been given by
California that the embargo would be
lifted, failed of adoption, although
vigorously . supported by President
Everett G. Griggs.
Addresses were made by Secretary
T. H. Martin, of the Tacoma Commer
cial Club, and F. C. Knapp, of Port
land, who attended the recent confer
ence with the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce there. Mr. Knapp said:
Son Francisco Loses Factories.
"We have the Chamber of Commerce
down there smoked out and we knott
how they stand. I think it is time we,
as an association, begin-to sit up and
take notice. The labor movement in
San Francisco is beginning to weaken,
because no new industries are going
to the city. New factories are going
to Oakland and other towns, but in
dustrially San Francisco is losing
ground."
"We went through a hard siege of
critical labor situations last year and
during the coming year we have to
face another struggle with the I. W. W.
and the labor unions," said President
Griggs. "If we make this fair appro
priation and ask for recognition after
wards, the labor unions of the city, who
are in control, will laugh at us. We
have newer had a better opportunity
than the present to make a f.irjoful
argument and we should take a firm
stand."
Both Mr. Knapp and Mr. Martin dep
recated any effort to influence the Leg
islatures, and the resolution was finally
lost.
J. K. Teal Speaks.
J. N. Teal, of Portland, delivered an
able address on a free Panama Canal

mittee reported on several subjects,
particularly against the proposed "blue

PINE HEAD ANSWERS

TO SEXATE DEXIED.
Division Superintendent or Pacific
Company Tells 'Why Free Serv
ice Is Allowed at Corvallis.
Wholesale denial to the charges of
A. M. Crawford. Attorney-General, that
the Bell telephone system is trying
to break up independent companies in
the state, was made yesterday by W.
J. Phillips, division commercial super
intendent of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company.
Mr. Phillips explained that he has
not read a copy of the Attorney-General's
communication to the Senate in
which he was quoted as declaring that
the Bell people, in order to kill com
petition, is giving free service in vari
ous towns of the state, but added:
"Corvallis is the only town in the
state where free service is given even
to a limited extent. This free service
is given for the purpose of building
up our own business at Corvallis and
was instituted only after our competi
tor had gained control of the business
there and had led in a movement prac
tically to boycott our company. It is
a well-known fact in that community
that the telephone companies have
been engaged in a struggle for busi
ness and as far as this company is
concerned, it has only been fighting
for a square deal and for the right
to give its service to any persons who
wanted it without subjecting him to
a boycott. .There has been no attempt
to cripple independent lines. In the
State of Oregon we have connecting
agreements with 106 independent com
panies, controlling 26,84 teleptiones.
and have 6765 farmers connected with
our system.
"In many places consolidations have
been brought about, generally as the
result of a demand therefor from the
public, and after consolidation, the telephone-using
public has received the
benefit of a more extensive and con
venient service. It is also true that
where such consolidations have been
effected there Tias been no effort to
restrict the service, but the same con
nections have been maintained as were
in effect at the time of consolidation.
This is directly In line with the an
nounced policy of the Bell system. The
Home Company at Corvallis has suf
fered no inconvenience or financial
loss by reason of our effort to obtain
business. They have much the larger
subscription list and as conditions are
the same as two years ago, they prob
ably are not living in fear or dread of
the Bell company. Recently, when
the telephone exchanges were consol
idated at Bellingham, Seattle and Ta
coma, long - distance connection was
maintained to and from these ex
changes over the toll lines of the Puget
Sound and Northwestern companies,
and Corvallis, instead of being cut off
from these cities, received, after the
few days required to provide the nec
essary facilities, a direct benefit in
being able to communicate with 62,325
telephones in these exchanges as

Jury Against August Klockner.
GOLDEXDALE. Wash., Jan. 31.
(Special.) The heirs of Maggie Klock

eral years ago leaving a large landed

him at Astoria in December, 1910, to
pay off two notes for a like amount
that he owed the Bank of Centerville,
which were held by the First National
Bank of Astoria for collection. The
heirs presented a check book stub for
the amount and the canceled notes,
which were found among the woman's

by bank officials. Talonen denied that
he used the money to take up his notes
at the other bank.

INCIDENT AGAIN CLOSED
Minister of War, However, Will Pun.
ish Officer for Repeating in
Letters to Press Charges
Against His Chief.
PARIS, Jan. 31. The Chamber of
Deputies closed today the incident
arising from the recent reinstatement
in the Army of Lieutenant-Colonel Du
Paty de Clam by a vote of confidence
In the government of 633 to 3.
The vote was reached after an ani
mated debate in which various phases
of the Dreyfus case again were brought
up. M. Millerand, ex-Mlnlster of War,
whose reinstatement of the officer was
followed a few days later by his giving
up his cabinet portfolio, and M. Mes
simy, another ex-War Minister, both ex
plained their official attitude toward
the reinstatement of De Clam.
Etienne, the present Minister of War.
wound up the debate by declaring he
would punish De Clam for repeating
in letters to the press charges against
his chiefs in the Army Immediately
after the exceptional favor of rein
statement had been accorded him.
The reinstatement of Colonel De
Clam by M. Miller and was in fulfill
ment of a promise made the officer by
M. Millerand's predecessor in the War
Ministry, M. Messimy. The resigna
tion of the oTticer caused a split in
the cabinet and finally resulted in M.
Millerand's resignation and the recon
struction of the cabinet.
Lieutenant-Colonel De Clam was one
of the most prominent figures In the
trial of Dreyfus for treason and the
chief witness against that officer.
