OREGONIAN NEWS BUR EAT', Wash
ington. .Sept. 15. If the law officers of
the Government come to the conclusion
that Captain James F. J. Archibald,
American messenger of Ambassador
Huraba, Captain Franz von Papen of
the German Embassy and of others,
violated a statute of the United
States in acting as an agent of the
Austrian and German diplomatic repre
sentatives in this country, the State
lepartment, it is believed, will ask
that this "soldier of fortune" be placed
on trial and given the limit of the
law, if he can be convicted.
Before leaving; England and after
his papers had been seized by the
British authorities. Captain Archibald
set up the claim that he knew nothing
of the contents of the documents he
was carrying' to Vienna and to Berlin.
That, doubtless, will be his defense
when he is called before the American
authorities to explain his part in the
Dumba sensation. But to persons who
know Archibald, this explanation does
not explain.
Status Long Mysterious.
"Jimmy" Archibald is well known
in Washington. His wife, his mother
end sister make Washington their
home, and it is his home when he is
not traveling. For years" Archibald
has been a well-known though some
what mysterious figure in the National
Capital. He had a wide circle of ac
quaintances, but few confidants. Ills
movements long were watched by in
terested persons, but not until he was
proved to be a messenger for the
Austrian Ambassador was Washington
at all satisfied, as to his true status.
Archibald was one of those men who
always managed to live well and com
fortably, without visible means of sup
port. He lived by his wits. He did
some writing, but not enough to bring
in an income which would enable him
to maintain two expensive apartments
in this city, onje for his wife and the
other for his mother and sister. He
was a member of seveml Washington
clubs, and a frequenter of those clubs
.when in Washington. At times he wtmt
on the lecture platform, and having
a pleasant address and a good com
mand of language, he met with reason
able success, from a financial stand
point. l.retnreNTour Recalled.
And Archibald also mingled to a
great extent in the social set, and
particularly with the diplomatic ele
ment in that set.
When "Jimmy" Archibald went on
the lecture platform and made a trip
to the Pacific Coast, he loudly championed'-the
German-Austrian cause, as
he did in his writings from Europe
during the period he was there, sup
posedly as war correspondent. So
pronounced was he in advocacy of the
German-Austrian cause that it was
commonly said Archibald- was in the
employ of those two governments, or
of one of them, and this belief gained
much strength when, the New York
World disclosed the fact that Am
bassador von Bernstorff had been
spending large sums of money in get
ting favorable publicity and in hiring
lecturers to espouse the German cause.
Archibald was more than once con
fronted with the charge that he was
in German employ, but always denied
the charge, declaring lie was voicing
only his personal beliefs.
Having thus estimated "Jimmv"
Archibald, Washington is not disposed
to place credence in his claim that he
v.as Ignorant of the contents of the
papers he was carrying to Vienna and
to Berlin, and especially is this as
sertion discredited when it is known
that Archibald was on such intimate
terms with the German and the Aus
trian Ambassadors, and when it is
known he dined with those two diplo
mats immediately before sailing on
his ill-latcd mission

NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Federal Judge
Hough, in a decision rendered here to
day, sustained the contentions made by
the Government in the Admiralty suit
for SOO,OUO brought by the I'acific
Mail Steamship Company, as owner of
the steamer Newport, against the Pan
American Railroad Company.
On August 17, 1912, 230 feet of the
bulkhead of a pier at Balboa. Canal
Zone, collapsed, throwing 18,000 tons of
earth and two large electric cranes
into the water. The steamer Newport,
which was alongside the dock, was
fcunk.
The Pacific Mail Company brought
suit, contending the bulkhead had been
improperly constructed and that dredg
ing for the canal work and marine
chajinels had weakened the structure.
The Panama Railroad, owned by the
Government, was made defendant. The
steamship company asked $800,000 for
damages to and cost of raising the
Newport and for loss of cargo and
revenue.
Judge Hough awarded the Govern
ment costs of the suit, in which numer
ous experts were examined and testi
mony taken both here and iff the Canal
Zone.
The decision upheld the Government's
contention, first offered by General
Goethals, that the slide was peculiar to
the Canal Zone section and that there
was neither any means of preventing
nor method of ascertaining the immi
nence of a slide.

DEFENSE DECLARED TARDY

f iod, Says Count Revcntlow.
LONDON', Sept. 3 5. The London
newspapers, both editorially and in
letters to the editor, are giving an in
creased amount of space to the re
cent air raids on this city. Two gen
eral lines of comment are adopted, one
of gratitude at the appointment of Sir
Percy Scott to take cnarge of the de
fenses of London from aerial attacks:
the other, sarcastic criticism that some
similar steps have not been taken be
fore them.
"It is getting rather hard to keep up
with the Zeppelin visits," says the
Pall Mall Gazette. "Lately they seem
to have taken place every night. There
was another on the night of the 13th,
and maybe later in the day we shall
hear of a raid last night. Remember
ing the raids that have come oft we
are apt to forget the failures. We are
inclined to believe that only a little
extra luck enabled the invader to slip
through a week ago.
HcpriMalj to Be Demanded.
The Globe is arranging a mass meet
ing to demand reprisals so that every
raid over an English town snail be
answered hy one over a German town.
Count von Reventlow's pleas for
greater vehemence in the air attacks
on London have been published here.
BERLIN, via lxndon. Sept. 15.
Count von Reventlow, the naval writer.
replies in the Tages Zeitung today to
British criticisms of German airship
raids over London. He says that Lon
don is a fortress and that Sir Percy
Scott, the newly appointed defender of
the city from aerial attacks, should
order the civil population of London
to depart.
Attacks Declared treat
The airship attacks. Count von
Reventlow insists, are legal and of a
purely military character, aimed at
the destruction of vessels, wharves
and magazines and other property
serving war purposes directly or in
directly. He concludes:
"We hope confidently that the say
ing: 'Throwing bombs on London,' will
soon be as trite as the phrase, 'carry
ing coals to Newcastle.' with the dif
ference, however, that in Newcastle
there are coals enough, while in Lon
don by far too few. German bombs
have thus far exploded." '

GRUBSTAKE SUIT IS LOST
Woman JPails to Obtain Share in
Kicli Mine in Alaska.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15. Mrs.
Ella M. Heim, of San Leandro, lost .her
suit in the Superior Court here today
for a share in the rich Ophir mine of
Alaska, said to be valued at millions.
Judgment for the defendants, Jerry L.
Wilson, Mrs. Alice Wilson, his wife,
John S. Kimball and the Wilson-Kimball
Mining Company, was given by
Judge M. Troutt.
Mrs. Helm alleged that she grub
staked Wilson for the prospecting trip
on which he uncovered the Ophir mine
and she had letters from him admitting
the grubstake obligation, but she failed
to produce the documentary evidence.
In August, 1914. Judge Troutt ordered
an accounting of the Ophir properties
in her favor, but a new trial was
asked and the decision practically re
versed today.
FRENCH NAVY IS VIGILANT
Effeetive Measures Declared in

PARIS. Sept. 15. The Ministry of
Marine announced today that measures
had been taken which would enable the
navy to deal with German submarines.
The official statement dealing with
this subject was prompted by the ac
tivity of submarines off the coast of
France, resulting in the sinking of sev
eral steamships in the last few days.
"The present naval force near the
mouths of the Gironde and Loise will
be reinforced if necessary," the statement-

San Francisco, Sept. 15. AV. L. Powers,
head of the drainage department' of the

NATURE WILL CURE
COHSTIPATIQH
All hc needs is a very little help.
Constipation is caused by accumulated
waste in the Colon (Large Intestine),
which, under our present mode of living.
Nature cannot entirely remove without a
little help.
The rank poisons in this waste get into
the blood circulation too, and make us feel
depressed, blue, bilious and incompetent
really sick if allowed to gro a little too far.
All the help that Nature asks, however,
is Internal Bathing with Warm Water, ap
plied by the "J. B. L. Cascade." This, m
a perfectly natural and rational way, cleans
out all the waste and poisons from the
Colon and keeps it as sweet, clean and
pure by occasional use as Nature demands
for a perfectly healthy condition.
So invariably successful has this new and
improved method of Internal Bathing
proved to be that over 300,000 Americans
