THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAJf, FRIDAY, AFKTL 2, 1915. OREGON GOVERNOR ; INSPECTS ILITIA Nine Full Companies Pass in Review Before Mr. Withy combe and Gen. White. EXECUTIVE LAUDS TROOPS Armory Congested Willi Greatest Turnout of Miltary SPen Since panish-American War Band Mutiny Pleasant Surprise. The largest military turnout in Port . land since the Spanish-American war was the inspection of Multnomah County troops by Governor Withycombe in the Armory Wednesday night. Nine full companies of infantry, artillery and cavalry, besides the sanitary detach ments, passed in review before the Governor, Adjutant-General George A. White, and other military and state of ficers who were present for the inspec tion. The spacious Armory floor was so crowded with troops that it waa neces sary for officers to march their men out to the street and around the block to permit them to turn around so they could actually pass in review. In spite of the congestion due to an unprecedented military gathering, the militia executed maneuvers with a pre cision that brought frequent comment from Governor Withycombe and bursts of applause from the 100 or more per sons in the gallery. No difficult drills could be attempted on the crowded floor, but the maneuvers that were ex ecuted were not marred by a single bitch. Six Companies at Third Present. Six out of eisht organized companies of the Third Infantry were present in full force. These were Companies B, C, r, E. F and H. The Kighth Com pany of Coast Artillery, Troop A Cav airy and Battery A, Field Artillery, made up the third, or provisional bat' talion. which was reviewed by Governo W ithycombe and his staff. The troops were under the command of Colonel John L. May. of the Third infantry, assisted by Captain Hotch kiss, his chief of staff. The first infan try Battalion was commanded by Ma jor L. A. Bowman, the Second by Ma Jor Charles T. Smith and. the provls ional battalion of artillery and cavalry Dy Captain Frank Tebbetts. ine jnira inianiry nana was on hand in full regalia, making the walls of the Armory resound with martial music. Following the review the entire reg Iment was lined up and 216 men were called from the ranks to receive mad ais which they had won during the past year. These were awarded by captain Shoemaker under the super vision of General James Jackson, Inspector-General of the Oregon. National uuaru. Mate Official See Review. Secretary of State Olcott, State Treasurer Kay, Attorney-General Brown and numerous other state and county officials were on hand to wit ness "the, review. following the inspection, a big cruna ana ennslea men assembled ii the Armory ballroom for a dance. Of ficers and visitors were entertained in the, officers quarters, where refresh nients were served. Captain Clarence R. Hotchklss, Colo my May's chief of staff, was some what taken aback early in the evening wnen ne ordered the Third infantry band to assemble. The ment sent word to their superior officer that they wouia not move from tneir quarters. The captain was puzzled. The band had always been his pet organization, and he had devoted much personal su pervision to its worn, ills mind re verted to the militia "revolt" during the maneuvers in Washington two years ago, and he wondered if some thing of the sort had not occurred again. Caplalai Gets aiemento. , Somewhat incensed. the captain mounted the stairs to tbe bands quar lers, wnere ne found the men lined up waiting lor him. JJ'here his vexation was turned into an agreeable surprise. He was informed that this waa the third anniversary of his promotion to the office of Adjutant on the Colonel's staff, and that the. band had remem bered the occasion. He waa presented with a handsomely engraved auto matic revolver as a memento of the oc casion. One event of the review which moved the huge audience to a roar of ap plause was the presentation of the Na tional Defense Trophy to Company B, of the Third Infantry. This trophy, awarded by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, has been held by Company B for three succes aive years, and Is competed for by every militia company in the state. License Bureau, when he appeared to go through the preliminary steps for making Temo Zellin, 20, modlshly dressed and rosy cheecked, his fourth wife. After supplying all the details that the license blank would ,, hold, Fitzsimmons waa referred to Chief Clerk Scully, whe told him he would have to show his divorce papers be fore the license could be issued. That news brought consternation to the fare of the ex-pugilist, and it is believed that he felt some peculiar anxiety over the matter, because it is reported that the ex-pugilist, who now gives his occupation aa "actor.1 recently failed to get a license in Newark. While Fitzsimmons was hurrying to Manhattan for the papers that would satisfy Chief Clerk Scully, the bride-to-be sat in the license bureau room read ing a newspaper. As the afternoon wore away, she became anxious, ami watched the door constantly. Fitz simmons apparently expected some dif ficulty m getting the papers at once. Before he started for .Manhattan, he telephoned and, judging from the an noyed expression on his face, the in formation he had obtained was not wholly satisfactory. One of Fitzsim mons' divorces was obtained in Chi cago and the other in New York. Late in the afternoon Fitzsimmons returned to the now impatient Temo without the papers. His hunt was in vain. 'Old girl. I guess I'll have to throw up the sponge, he said, adding that he would have to go to another state, he guessed, for his fourth wedding. SPREADS ZEAL METHODIST CAMPAIGN AWAKE-VS MANY inactive: members Night Rallies of Forces Ptoto Spur to Workers and New Ones Are Enlisted la Efforts, 'DRUGS m ROAD BONDS ARE INDORSED Albina Business Men's Club Acts After Hearing Talk by J. B. Yeon. At a well-attended neeting Wednes day night in the Albina Library, under the ausoices of the Albina Business Men's Club, after hearing the address of John B. xeon, roadmaster. resolutions were unanimously adopted favoring the bond issue of $1.2dO,u.'0 for hard-sur facing 71 miles of trunk roads and the completion of the Columbia Highway. in his address Mr, Yeon explained the benefits that Portland and Mult nomah County will receive from these Improvements and be declared that the Columbia Highway will be one of Port land's greatest assets. Members of the First Methodist Church Wednesday continued with un abated success their "every member campaign' and succeeded in arousing the support and enthusiasm of scores of additional workers in various parts of the city. Each of the five divisions in charge of the work hustled all day In the quest for members. At the final rally last night the reports Indicated, that the work has been productive of unex pected results. The campaign will be pushed for several days more. At the end of this period it is hoped that every registered member of the church will have been enrolled in the campaign of active service. Many new members also will have been obtained. Dr. F. L. Loveland, pastor of the church, Is the active head of the move ment, and has given much personal at tention to the actual detail of solicita tion among the members. His efforts alone have been productive of splendid results. The five divisions Into which the field forces have been organized are commanded by E. A. Baker. E. S. Miller, B. A. Green, I B. Baketel and George R. Parks respectively. Each commander has the rank of colonel. Each division is subdivided into four teams. There Is much good natured rivalry among the various divisions and among the several teams of each division. The city has been divided Into dis tricts and each team is in charge of a district. The registered members of the church in each district first are visited and their active aid In church effort is enlisted. The workers then visit those persons who are not affiliated with any church and enlist some of them In gen eral church work. Each night the teams make their re ports to' the congregation. There was much rejoicing last night when the re turns showed that the campaign has re sulted in the renewed interest of large numbers of members who heretofore have taken only a passive Interest In church work. Dr. Loveland follows the campaign reports each night with a sermon. His subject last night was "Christianity Doubting." His remarks were Illus trated. The big auditorium was crowded. Another Interesting feature of the campaign is the dinner served at 6 o'clock by the Women's Aid Society of the congregation in honor of the work ers in the membership campaign. This is made the occasion of much social en joyment and has aided materially in advancing the spirit of goodfellowship ong the members.

Robert Fitl Imraona. former heavyweight ch amn ion of the world, was unable to pass the test of tbe Brooklyn Marriage CHICAGO. March 27. Professor Henry J. Cox, the local weather fore caster, in addressing a meeting; of the Chicago Association of Commerce point ed out that in the military operations in Europe there ls no more Important fac tor than the scientific weather prophet. "The army which has the most ac curate forecast has a tremendous ad- antaee," said Professor Cox. "Barom eters, wind gauges and other para phernalia of the meteorologist are as mportant as the aeroplane, the peri scope and the automobile In modern warfare." Professor Cox said that the warring nations consider the concealing of weather conditions so vital that the xchange of data among the weather ureaus of the world has been largely curtailed. Absence of information from Siberia, for instance, he said, had forced the United States to abondon the weekly "long-range forecast" TURKISH MUNITIONS POOR Officers Keported Arrested for Hos tility Toward Germans. GENEVA (via Paris). April 1. A Constantinople dispatch received here by way of Bucharest says that while ammunition is not lacking for the Turkish army, it is of poor quality. The supply of cartridges provided by Ger many in March, 1914, has been ex hausted and Turkey now is forced to rely on those of her own manufacture, which are inferior to those of German make. Disorders and insubordination among the Turkish soldiers are of frequent occurrence, the dispatch says, during the transport of troops. Many Turk ish officers are reported to have been arrested for their hostile attitude to ward the Germans. SAN FRANCISCO. April 1. (Spe cial.) Harry Edsell. assistant com missioner of immigration, who has been Btatloned at Angel Island for the past five years, resigned his post Wednes day after 13 years In the employ of the Federal Government. Orders from the Immigration Bureau, in Washington, in which Edsell waa transferred from the Angel Island post to St. Louis, caused the commissioner to resign after he had learned by telegraph that the transfer order was Irrevocable. Leaving the editorial staff of the Portland Telegram in 1903, Mr. Edsell entered the Government service at Port Townsend in the Department of Commerce and Labor. A year later he was promoted to inspector in charge of the immigration station at Sumas, Wash. In 1909 he was made Chinese Inspector in charge of the entire Cana dian border. He was transferred from Vancouver, B. C. to Washington, D. C, where he became genera Investigator for the Immigration Bureau and his duties in the investigation department brought him to Angel iBland in 1910. Early In 1911 he was made assistant commissioner of immigration. With the telegram from Washington accepting Mr. Edsell's resignation came another order promoting W. T. Bryce to the assistant commisslonership. Mr. Bryce has spent 16 years In the local Immigration service. Mr. Edsell has recently associated himself with the California Sea Prod ucts Company as secretary and treas urer. to John R.

Bateham president and C. D. Minton secretary of the committee, which propoaes to hold regular meetings in the Interest of the fruit Industry.
