THIRD OREGON HAS
TRIUMPHAL

Soldiers, Whose Splendid

CIVIC CEREMONY HELD

Made Occasion, of Auditorium
Cornerstone Laying- Picnic
; Is Held at Camp.
X soldier's life Is a succession of In
termingled hardships and glory.
For the last few months the Third
Oregon has experienced boom of the
minor hardships down on the Mexican
It had thrust upon It a
portion of the glory that Is its due
In consequence of its border service.
The people of Oregon provided am
ple demonstration that they appreciate
the Third Oregon and the honor that It
lias brought to the state.
They turned out by the thousands to
bid the regiment a joyous and cheery
welcome as it paraded the streets, and
then added a more substantial mani
festation of their good will by giving
them a picnic dinner and entertainment
at Camp Withycombe.
As an incident of the celebration the
elty of Portland laid the cornerstone
lor Its new auditorium. The presence
of the soldiers provided a becoming
military setting for the event.
The state's tribute to the men was
a spontaneous demonstration, and all
the more cordial because of that. A
more elaborate ceremony was original
ly contemplated, but when the "War De
partment a few days ago ordered that
the regiment be immediately mustered
ut of the Federal service quick ac
tion was demanded.
Civic Bodies C-oprate.
!' Various civic organizations in Port
Band co-operatln,g with, similar bodies
In other parts of the state promptly
arranged to show the boys that Oregon
is proud of them.
The cornerstone exercises had been
scheduled several weeks in advance,
kind the city had made up its mind to
take a half day off on that account
unyway, so the two events happily were
combined. But the cornerstone pro
ceedings were plainly and deliberately
made secondary to the main event.
Soldiers'may be modest. Traditional
ly they are. But human nature likes
attention, and that's the reason, doubt
less, that the men yesterday accepted
the people's admiring plaudits with
such good grace.
From the Armory, where the proces
sion started, over a long and circuitous
xoute to the Auditorium site, where It
ended, the men passed through lines of
applauding men, women and children.
The procession was made impressive
' the absence of civilian units. It
was confined to the military element
alone. With surprising bad taste two
or three advertising floats tried to join
in, but were turned out of line by the
police at the end of the first block.
Hundreds of children were given a
recess from the West Side schools, and
lined the blocks near the Armory, wav
ing small flags. . in. salutation to the
troops. . ....
Colonel McLaughlin Leads. .
Colonel Clenard McLaughlin, com
mander of the regiment, and his staff,
mounted, were at the head, of the col
umn. Then came the band and the 12
companies, every man In full marching
platoon fronts, extending from curb to
curb. As they rounded the corners they
held their line as straight as the
proverbial string. This trick, to the
civilian at least, is the supreme test of
a well-trained military organization.
The men themselves were the very pic
ture of health, glowing under heavy
coats of tan. They were clean-shaved,
well-dressed and of graceful and buoy
ant step. . i
Conspicuous among the uniformed
men was an assortment of mascots, all
of which seemed to enjoy their sur
roundings. The Mexican goat of Com
pany M came in for much attention.
The Machine Gun Company, the Hos
pital Company and the Supply Com
pany, with their complete parapherna
lia and equipment elicited much com
ment. The machine guns, mounted on
small motor trucks, black, shining and
sinister, were the objects of much curi
osity. Males Cause Laushter. -
The combat wagons of the Supply
Company were drawn by mules re
ceived on the border. A mule, some
howV always causes people to laugh,
and as this was the last unit in line,
it provided a little comedy as a
"chaser" for the more somber divis
ions. The streets along the line of march
were well decorated. Flags were hung
from many windows, and at Irregular
intervals massive red, white, and blue
banners were suspended across the
street. Every big building in the busi
ness district floated the Stars and
Stripes at full mast. The city pre
sented a real holiday appearance.
Portland civilians have yet to learn
a detail, of military etiquette, to re
move their hats when the regimental
colors go past. Military men along
the lines noted, regretfully, yesterday
that only a few men, unconsciously,
of course, observed this rule.
Soon after the procession reached
the Auditorium site, the troops who
had come in from Camp Withycombe
by special train, "marched to the depot
where they boarded their train again,
and returned to camp for the further
enjoyment of civilian hospitality.

Anto Truck on Way to Washington
May Xot Be Held.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 14. (Special.)
The Salem police today arrested Archie
Turner, of Stanwood, Wash., as he was
passing through the city driving an
automobile truck loaded with whisky.
The officers seized' 268 quarts of bond
ed liquor, valued at approximately $400.
Turner was lodged In Jail pending a
decision as to what charge to place
against him. The prisoner said he had
brought the liquor from Hornbrook,
CaL, and was on his way to Stanwood,
Wash.
Attorneys here said they deemed It
doubtful whether Turner had violated
any Oregon statute by transporting the
liquor through the state in his own con
veyance, though they said it was possi
ble that Turner might be prosecuted
for volation of the interstate commerce
act. They also pointed out that Turner
would have been subject to arrest upon
entering -the state of Washington,
where the law makes it a crime to have
more than the legal amount of intoxi
cating liquor In one's possession, '

COURT HALTS HEARING) -sj:' .1
DEFENDANT IPC DAMAGE SUIT DE
CLARED VICTIM.
Jndse McGinn Says He Una Heard
KnoBtfh Testimony In Case of
Lessee Against Landlord.
"This woman has not been defrauded;
if anyone has it is the defendant," de
clared Circuit Judge McGinn, inter
rupting progress ot the suit of Nancy
A. Hills against Floyd J. Campbell, yes
terday afternoon. "I'll hear no more
of this case. I know what is behind
it. Take it into the Jury room and com
plete your record, but I'll say right now
that this man gets a very favorable
verdict."
Mrs. Hills, who was on the stand
when Judge McGinn ended the hearing
before him, cried hysterically, after
the jurist had left the courtroom.
Judge McGinn declared, in the face
of denials from Mrs. Hills, that she
was not the real plaintiff in the case,
but that Mrs. Mary E. Lent was the
person who instigated the suit. Mrs.
Lent had been agent for Mr. Camp
bell, owner of the Winston Apartments,
341 Fourteenth street, in leasing the
place. Judge McGinn asserted that
Mr. Campbell had not received any rent
als from his property because of ac
tions of lessees.
Mrs. Hills brought the action against
Mr. Campbell for . alleged misrepre
sentation. She leased the apartments
or $250 a month for a period from
January last to October, 1918." She as
certs that the fuel bill is far in excess
of what the owner claimed It would be,
that the plumbing is in poor condition
ind that the place Is infested with
"innumerable thousands" of bedbugs,
and that it had been a losing venture
for a former lessee. Carcasses of bed
bugs alleged to have been captured on
the premises were Introduced as evi
dence. .
The plaintiff asked that her lease be
canceled, also a note for (1000 and
that she be awarded damages of
2400.

AMERICAN FLAG IGNORED
Former British Citizen Carries Ban
ner Through Streets; 4 Salnte.
American citizenship Is not of the
right kind, because Americans as a
rule, will not salute the flag, is the
opinion expressed yesterday by Robert
William Kirkham, of 761 East Twenty
first street.
Mr. Kirkham Is a former citizen of
Great Britain. He has taken out his
first citizenship papers and intends to
be a citizen of the right sort.
Yesterday Mr. Kirkham carried an
American flag down the street and he
declares that only four men saluted it.
This, he says, would not be true if any
one carried a Union Jack down the
streets of a British city.
Many years ago Mr. Kirkham was
connected with - the Alliance News, of
Manchester, Eng.
