(Special.) Joe Knowles entered the
wood of Soutnern Oregon and North

primitive man, on a test for 30 days or
more to demonstrate that the resource

any of the implements of modern times.
h can wrest a living from the woods,
and return to civilization dressed in
clothes he has made in the woods, well
fed and in good physical condition.
There was but little ceremony about
the departure. It had been planned by
the people of Grants Pass to give the
primitive a send-on, and a party of
more than 60 had planned to see him
off, but the location, practically picked
out by Professor Waterman, of the
University of California, who is to ob
serve the 30-day test from a scientific
standpoint, made it impossible for the
party to get to the point where Knowles
made his departure.
Knowles wss naked with the excep
tion of an Indian loin cloth, and this
he will bring out of the woods with
him at the end of the test in the same
condition as when he entered. Thus he
began his 30-days-or-more battle with
the wilderness.

There was a trace of moisture in his
eyes, possibly because he thought for
the minute of the loneliness of the foa

likes. He clasped hands with Professor
Waterman, or the University or Call

the woods and make a report as to
whether he accomplishes what he says
he will or not. with the representative
of The Oregonlan. and with his oldest
friend. Bert Lambert, the official pho
tographer of the party.
Then he turned his back and walked
away rapidly. The scene was worth
traveling miles to see and experiencing
all the dlscomrorts that attended the
trip.
The -nowles camp was pitched so
far in the wilderness that it practical
ly is inaccessible. The trail was broken
through an absolute wilderness from
the "ridge trail" that runs over the
Siskiyou Mountalna from Oregon into
California, It was made through a
h.arthr.iklnir mass of underbrush and

A Portland newspaper yesterday
reprinted rrom the Boston Ameri
can, a Hearst newspaper, an al
leged exposure or the adventures
or Joseph Knowles. the nature man.
In the Maine woods last year. The
attack upon the good raith or Knowles
was made on the authority or one
Allie Demlng, a Maine guide, who says
In the American article that Knowles
Is a raker and did not carry out in
good raith his Maine woods experiment
or living for 60 days solely upon the
resources or nature.
Demlng in other published Inter
views has expressed full raith In
Knowles. A Boston newspaper, the
Post, also printed an aftldavit rrom
Demlng In which he said that Knowles
was on the square and that he knew
of nothing to discredit him.
It appears to be clear that Demlng
is now being used by one Boston news
paper to discredit the enterprise ot an
other Boston newspaper, the Post.

"Fraud" Case.
ABSTRACT CONCERN DRAWN IN

tioned, Testifies R. E. Smith.
SEARCHING INQUIRY RESULT
Rosebnrg Man Tells of Booklet Kx
plotting Oregon Puhllp Lands
and of Business Done
With Accused Men.
With the testimony or E. J. Sellers,
or Tacoma, In United States District
Court before Judge Bean yesterday,
the first step was taken by the defense
to present Its side of the case In which
Sellers. W. F. Mtnard. of Portland, and
J. W. Logan, of Tacoma. are accused
of using the United States mails In a
fraudulent conspiracy.
Sellers' testimony and cross-examination
were concluded, and Logan was
the second of the deferments to ad
duce witnesses in his behalf.
Good Faith Proof Attempted.
The defense, both in the case of
Logan and Sellers, shaped Itself
around an attempt to prove that the
defendants had acted in good faith in
their transactions In connection with
their activities as "locators" of per
sons on timber claims within the Ore
gon. & California Railroad land grant
in Oregon, In the furtherance of which
it is alleged they misused, the malls.
Robert E. Smith, of Reseburg, where
he Is president of the Douglas County
Abstract Company, was called as a
witness on behalf of Logan, but was
subjected to cross-examination not
only by District Attorney Reames, but
by Attorney Strahan. for Miiiard. At
torney Ryan, for Sellers, and the court
itself.
Befere the cross-examination was
concluded it had developed into a
searching inquiry as to the methods
and nature of the abstract company s
business with the land "locators." and
the company's own efforts, independ
ent of the "locator," to attract atten
tion to land in Oregon.
In this connection a booklet was
Introduced in evidence, bearing the
title, "Millions of Acres of Public
Lands Given Away in Oregon When
Where How." Its covers bore he
words. "Published by the Douglas
County Abstract Company, Roseburg,
Oregon."
"Did you give that out?" asked At
torney Ryan.
"Yes, we sold It." answered Smith,

BLAME FOR 'SWISS
NAVY' IS SHIRKED
BRYAN'S DEPARTMENT SAID TO
HAVE ACTED BY REQUEST.
Navy Lawyers Declared Responsible
for Forcing Nation to Confess
Lack or Sea Force.
WASHINGTON. July 21. (Special.)
After much evasion, truth as to who
was responsible fur Inviting the "Swiss
navy" to participate In the naval pa
geant to be held next year In celebra
tion ot the opening ot the Panama Ca
nal has been disclosed.
Minister Stovall, the Georgia editor
diplomat, was made the scapegoat fjr
the Incident. His friends retorted that
the State Department was responsible
for the blunder of forcing Switzerland
to confess that she had no navy. Now
the State Department passes the blame
to the Navy Department.
The law authorizing the President
to Invite other nations to participate
In the naval pageant was part of a
naval appropriation bill.
The Navy Department called the fact
to the attention of the State Depart
ment and asked it to issue the requi
site invitations. The law provided that
the President was to invite foreigu
nations to send "naval vessels or rep
resentatives." and the sea lawyers in
the Navy Department interpreted this
to mean that nations that had no navies
were to send officials.
So invitations were sent to the marl
time powers and to Switzerland, Per
sia and Bolivia, and all other navyleas
nations as well.
YOUTHFUL SHAH CROWNED

simpler head covering, which, however,
was embellished with tho famous Darla-I-Noor
diamond, otherwise known aa
the Great Mogul. The diamond weighs
more than 200 carats.
