RECRUITS WILL BE
SENT TO BORDER
Wen at Camp Withycombe
Eager to Be Assigned to -Duty
With Regiment.
START THIS WEEK LIKELY
3Tea ii while Recruiting Proceeds in
Many Parts of State and
Additional Enlistments
Are Reported.
' CAMP WITHYCOMBE, Or., Aug. 1.
TSpecial.) Preparations are now being
made to send Oregon recruits stationed
here to their companies at the Mexican
border this week.
Men who have been waiting patiently
for weeks in anticipatioin of active
service will not have to wait much
longer. Soon it will be "All aboard for
Mexico."
Orders to entrain are expected from
Washington at any moment as the re
sult of advices sent by Captain 'Will
lams this week that he is ready to
rend the first consignment down.
Meanwhile passes for leave from the
camp are cut down to a minimum in
order to have all men on hand and in
readiness for departure upon short no
tice. Tonight there are 157 recruits in
camp, the net fruits of a month and
two days of recruiting, and it is ex
pected that this number will be swelled
ronsiderably within the next two or
three days. The recruiting campaigns
conducted throughout the state are
drawing to a close and recruiting offi
cers report that they yet have quits a
number of recruits for examination.
Large Number Ready.
Recruits enlisted Saturday, Monday
and today number 18, and there should
be that many, if not more, in the
three days to follow. This would mean
about 175 men to be sent down on the
next special train. A number of re
cruits, about six, will be kept behind
for special duties in connection with
the camp, to which it is not easy to
break in new men.
Oregon troops left here about 800
men short and this number has had a
definite decrease due to rejections on
physical examination to date. Re
cruiting -will be continued following
the departure of the first contingent
in an effort to fill all vacancies.
Word was received today of dis
charges granted to Sergeant Dayton
TV. Stoddard, of Headquarters Com
pany, and Sergeant Edward I. McFad
den. of the Machine Gun Company, on
account of dependents. In addition,
the first and second battalions of the
infantry have lost 52 men, the battery
has lost 11 and the cavalry one.
Vacancies on Border.
There are vacancies in all companies
at the border with the exception of the
cavalry, and the preferences of recruits
will be considered in assigning them.
One of the most popular companies
seems to be Company C. Captain Bow
man's, for which there are more appli
cants than for any other single com
pany. Sergeant-Instructor Petrick, of
the field artillery, is making a selec
tion of picked men to fill the 11 va
cancies in the battery. It is likely that
Sergeant Petrick, who was left behind
and has since had charge of drilling the
recruits in the camp here, will be sent
to the border himself.
Recruiting offices will be opened for
indefinite periods at Portland, The
Dalles, Eugene and La Grande by the
four recruiting officers of the Oregon
troops, following the termination of
their present tours.
Captain Hibbard closed his recruiting
campaign in bilverton last night, and
will open up a recruiting office in
1'ortland for an indefinite period at a
place yet to be designated. This will
be conducted at the same time with the
recruiting station now operating at the
armory.

from Portland was roundly berated in
the streets by the wife of the post
master for trying to entice young men
into the Army, and citizens Baid it was
the most exciting event since the last
Big baseball game.
In contrast to this was the treatment
accorded captain Hibbard a few nights
ago at Lebanon, where a Grand Army
veteran presided at a rousing meeting.
and by his eloquence induced a number
of young men to enlist. This old vet
eran was a little bit loth to take the
rostrum at first, for fear he would let
his patriotism get the best of him. He
had been told of experiences in other
towns where, although there was
nienty of patriotitc sentiment, few and
sometimes no recruits materialized. He
feared that if recruits didn't come for
ward properly at the meeting- he might
"swear at 'em."
The following are the recruits en

CHAMBER WILL TRIM
OFFICIAL, HEADS TO DROP INTO
BASKET THIS MONTH.
Retrenchment Order Affects Chiefs tf
Two Bureaus and Number of
Subordinates.
Retrenchment on the payroll of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, con
templated for some time, will be ef
fective with the dismissal of several
department secretaries this month.
George E. Hardy, executive secretary,
Baid yesterday the move would necessi
tate more volunteer work by members
of the Chamber, but the former service
renaerea win not be materially re
duced. It is expected that operating
expenses oi me tuamuer will be low
ered by about $5000 a year.
Two heads of departments that are
To be dropped are J. W. Brewer, secre
tary of the Oregon Development Bu
reau, and W. E. Conklm, secretary of
the retail merchants' bureau. Milo D.
Bass, of the statistical department, is
also to be taken from his position, and
several stenographers are also to be
dismissed.
The 'proposed changes were delayed
until the selection of a president to
succeed C. C. Colt, whose term expired
March 31. so that the decision as to
where the cuts were to be could be
left to the new president, O. M. Clark,
and Executive Secretary Hardy. The
work of the former bureaus will be
divided among- the departments.
Since the organization of the Greater
Portland Association, the work of the
retail merchants' bureau has been con
siderably curtailed, although the mem
bers of the new organization nearly all
hold membership In the Chamber.
The Chamber has only done a little
more than break even on operating
cost for the first quarter of its fiscal
year, and in view of the numerous in
cidental expenses that the chamber is
expected to meet, the move . for econ
omy has- been shared by a, large portion
of the membership.

CONVICT QUITS FIGHT
E. J. CLARK TO RETURN TO SERVE
RUST OF TERM.
Escaped Prisoner Gives L'p Extradition
Contest, Feeling Resistance
Is Useless.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 1. (Special.)
E. J. Clark, alias M. Rmehart, es
caped convict arrested here last Friday
night, will go back to the Oregon Peni
tentiary without further attempts to
resist extradition. He will leave to
night with Guard J. F. Keller for th,
Salem prison. .
"Clark has decided that it is best not
to fight extradition," said Attorney Jo
seph J. Lavln today. "If we should be
successful in preventing his extradition
on the charge for which he was con
victed, the Oregon authorities probably
would file a new charge of jail break
ing, which is more serious, and get him
on tuai count.
"As soon as Clark is returned to the
prison, the matter will be taken to the
Oregon State Pardon Board, and after
the facts are brought out I believe he
will bA liberated.
. "His wife and baty will remain in
Spokane for a short time, at least. Mrs.
Clark has told the police she committed
forgeries for which her husband was
sent to the Oregon prison four years
ago and that the husband took the
blame to shield her. She said she would
be willing to go to Oregon and plead
guilty to the charge, but this is im
possible, owing to the expiration of
time specified, by statute.
The Clarks have been living in and
near Spokane for nearly four years.
Clark and his wife came back to Spo
kane from Sandpoint a month ago to
register for the Colville land drawing.
'BILLY' SUNDAY COMES
WILL SPEAK AT ICE
DROME AUGUST 8.
Evanseliat Will Give Address That
Has Influenced Voters to Make
Many Towns "Dry."
"Billy Sunday will be in town soon
Arrangements were completed last
night by R. P. Hutton. of the Anti
Saloon League, to have the first Sunday
lecture given Tuesday evening, August
8. at the Ice Hippodrome, Twenty-first
ana Aiarsnau streets. In that place,
which will be transformed into
regular "Billy" Sunday tabernacle, the
lecture that is accredited with having
made numerous towns "dry" will be
heard in all probability by thousands
of Portlanders.
While the delegation was in Hood
River last Sunday endeavoring to get
Mr. Sunday to come to Portland, a let
ter from a motion-picture concern ar
rived, which he permitted the com
mittee to read. The proposal was made
to Mr. Sunday that $50,000 would be
given him for appearing in one film
and a half interest in the film itself.
The offer was refused.
The Sundays have requested that no
big delegation meet them on their
arrival in Portland, saying "Don't
spend a dollar on us. Spend it in getting
the crowd to the tabernacle to help the
Oregon dry cause."

Francesco Fenallo, Italian Band
master, Who Is Filling Engage
ment at the Oaks.
Francesco Ferullo. leader of Ferullo's
tar.d, at the Oaks.
"Now, would it surprise'you to know
that most of the letters I receive at
the Oaks are requests that such and
such a selection might be played by the
band?" he began. "It is notable also
that most of these requests are that
classical music be played, say from the
compositions of Verdi, Rossini, Puccini,
Tschaikowsky, etc. The impression
might be that most of the requests we
receive for selections are for ragtime.
Not so. It is pleasing to note that the
p jpular taste is for the best in music,
not the most trashy or cheapest. Of
course, I do not oppose ragtime. It
has its uses. We play It for encores."
Ferullo has one hatred. It is whisky.
The day of tha saloon has cone." he
said. "Whisky makes people stupid and
it is the ruin of all who drink it. In
saloons, working men, for instance,
drank too much and spent money that
ought to have gone to the support of
their wives and children. The habit
of 'treating too, grew to be an evil."
What would you put in place of
the saloon?" Ferullo was asked.
The bandmaster thought for a mo
ment. "Well," he said, "it is not the
use of liquor that hurts, it is the abuse.
People should have a risht under the
Oregon law to buy wine or beer, as
bottled goods, in stores. They could
then drink what they wanted at homo,
couldn't they, in peace? Now. with
wir.e it is different. Ah, wine! That
is the gentle drink. Brandy is good,
and so is beer, always in moderate
quantities, ot course.
"I am a family man," Ferullo went
on." My wife is a Kansas City girl,
and she was born in this country, of
Italian-German parentage. We have
one child, a daughter. 9 years old. Our
home is at Los Angeles. My business
home is at Chicago. I was born in
Naples."
Crowds are enthusiastic at the Oaks
over Ferullo and his bind. They re
main only a short time longer. They
have "dates" elsewhere.

Chamber of Commerce Will Be Asked

Commissioner Baker will find him

the municipal parks, when he returns
to Portland today.
Unless action is taken soon to provide
an extra appropriation. Conductor
Percy A. Campbell's band will soon
close its season.
Heretofore the park band concerts
have been continued until about the
middle of September, but the fund ap
propriated for concerts this year was
cut to half, making it necessary to
shorten the season.
The attention of the Civic Bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce has been
called to. the condition and the execu
tive committee of the bureau will be
asked probably to take action in the
matter.
In the meantime Innumerable in
dividual appeals are to be sent to Mr.
Baker and there are movements afoot
in a number of communities to call
mass meetings and prepare formal
resolutions calling upon the city to
provide funds for continuation of the
concerts.
MOBILIZATION BEATS ALL
'Best Job of Its Kind,"
Department.
Says War
WASHINGTON, July 22. "When one
considers the number of men moved
and the distances they were moved, the
recent mobilization of the Militia on
the Mexican border was the best Job
of its kind done by any country. The
worst the militia had to put up with in
traveling conveniences was day coaches,
four seats to three men, and this only
for continuous periods of 24 hours.
If these 100.000 men had paid their
own expenses to the border they would
not. as a whole, have traveled with
iuca speed and comfort as they did in
the recent mobilization. In other coun
tries troops frequently move in cattle
and freight cars and on the tops of
trains.
Major Douglas MacArthur today
made this first authoritative answer of
the War Department to complaints
filtering into Washington and else
where concerning tho condition of the
militia, approximately 100.000 members
of which now patrol the Mexican bor
der.
a second observation of Major Mac
Arthur has to do with conditions in the
camps on the border. He said:
"In tie first place, before these
troops were sent to the border, the'
commanding officers in their respective j
districts were ordered to inspect and ,
sfee to it that they had every essential I
absolutely necessary to their safe
transfer ano to their reasonable com
fort and efficiency on arrival. Second
ly, large reserve supplies for any pos
sible deficiencies were furnished to
General Funs ton in advance, and these
supplies, both of clothing and equip
ment have been forwarded as fast as
the troops were located.
"Complaints as to the rations had
ncthing to do with the quality or the
quantity. Tho chief lack has been in
vegetables, which are supplementary to
the regular ration, and which cannot
bo had when troops are on the move.
Gene-M Bliss, by order of the Secretary
of War. has been makins a complete
investigation of the militia camps along
the border, and in no instance has he
reported a serious deficiency anywhere.
On the contrary, he has reported the
general contentment of the troops."
The Department issued a statement
this week discouraging the solicitation
of private funds to augment the rations
of troops on the border. The statement
declared that "the Army ration is am
ple for all purposes when properly
used."
Relative to illness in the camps, the
War Department has issued a call for
complete medical reports from all
camps, and the prediction is made here
today that when it is received it will
show a smaller percentage of illness
than in any city in the country. This
report will not only show tho number
of sick in the various camps, but the
nature of the illnesses.

PETITIONS BEING CHECKED
Theater Operators Assert Alleged
Attempt of City Hall Officials
to Enlist Sympathy of Wom
en's Clubs Is Failure.
The National Board of Review of
Motion Pictures is with the motion
picture men in their campaign for a
new censorship ordinance. Last night
the movie men received a telegram io
this effect from Orrin G. Cocks, ad
visory secretary of the National Board
t Kbw York City. In behalf of the
National Board of Review, Mr. Cocks
telegraphed:
"All members of National Board of
Review heartily support your fight for
fair and unprejudiced court review and
in opposition to present amy ana un
Lstlvs ordinance. We are op
posed to legal restrictions and for
registration of -real public opinion.
Success to you.
The Portland censors, working no
der the present no-appeal ordinance,
are said to ignore the rulings of the
National Board of Reviews. The Na
tional Board was' established by the
People's Institute of New York City
early in the history of the film busi
ness, and Its decisions are followed
in nearly all of the cities of the united
States, the movie men say.
The nicture men say they have in
formation that those at the City Hall
who favor the present ordinance and
are against the movie men's plea for
an anneal have tried to sway the Fed
erated women ciuds to me siae oi
na-aoDeal censorship without success.
The movie men declare their petitions
show the names of many prominent
clubwomen who have individually reg
istered their stand for an appealable
ordinance.
It is believed by the picture men in
charge of the campaign that the sup-
nnn of the Rational uosra oi ivo-
vlew and the reported attitude of the
members of the women's clubs in favor
or their stand for a new ordinance
mnkea it improbable that tne com
missloners will turn down their pctl
tions.
It was proposed to go before the
Commission today, but the absence of
one of the Commissioners from the
itv and the fact that the checking oi
the petitions has not yet been com
pleted will cause the matter to be held
over until the Council meeting of
August . The motion picture men s
SLSHociation has a staff of clerks
work on the petitions for the purpose
of eliminating all duplicate names.
