TUE MORNING OREGON! AN. FRIDAY. JANUARY 19, 1D17. ffl'ARTHUR DEFENDS SELECTION Republican Vice-Chairman De clared to Have Shown Or ganizing Efficiency. ADAMS Men, RECORD IN IOWA IS CLEAR Progressive Spirit of West Repre sented and Proper Recognition Given Power Delegated Executive Committee. to ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash Ington, Jan. 18. Representative Mc Arthur, of Portland, who on Monday attended the meeting of the executive committee of the Republican National committee in New York . with the proxy ot National Committeeman Wil liams, today -made the following state ment regarding that conference: "According to press reports, George W. Perkins has been furnishing much gratuitious information about the re cent meeting of the executive commit tee of the National Republican commit tee, and has raised the fatuous cry of "stand-patter" against Vice-Chairman Adams, of Iowa, and those responsible for his election. Mr. Perkins charges certain members of the executive com mittee and those who held proxies with conspiring to capture the party organi zation. Party Strength Desired. "As a matter of tact, the election of Wr. Adams was the result of a feeling upon the part of many Western Repub licans that his elevation to this posi tion would strengthen the party in the West a section where Republicanism was woefully weak in the recent elec tion. If the party is to be aroused and transformed into an aggressive, militant organization, we must elevate our most capable men to leadership. "Mr. Adams fills the bill in every particular and I regret that he was not made vice-chairman before the re cent campaign opened. Had he been In charge of the Western campaign there would be less rejoicing in the camp of our Democratic friends. Mr. Adams' own state gave a tremendous majority for Mr. Hughes and for the Republican candidate for Governor, be Bldes making a clean sweep in every congressional district. Iowa Leadership Efficient. "There seems to be nothing wrong with the Adams leadership in Iowa and the Republican National commit tee ought to be glad to have such a man as one of its principal officers. The charge that the executive commit tee had no authority to elect Mr. Adams is ill-founded, for the full com mittee conferred the authority at the time of the Chicago convention. "Mr. Adams is not a 'handpicked' committeeman. He was chosen by popular vote of the Republicans of Iowa at their 1916 primaries, and in every way represents the progressive spirit of the West. He is satisfactory to such' progressive Republicans as Senators Cummins and Kenyon and Representative Woods, of Iowa, all of whom were working for progressive principles before Mr. Perkins came into political prominence in 1912."

TRIAL Case Against Man Who Shot Army Officer Develops. JEALOUSY IS DESCRIBED Portion ot Ultimatum Not Heretofore Published Is Regarded by 'Wash ington aa Significant. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. The text of the recent allied ultimatum to Greece, presented to the State Department for its information today by Charge Vouros of the Greek legation, reveals that the allies notified the Athens gov ernment in the communication "that military necessity may lead them short ly to disembark troops at Itea for pass age by railroad to Saloniki." This portion of the ultimatum, not mentioned in press dispatches coming to this country through the allied cen sorship, is regarded here aa highly significant, possibly forecasting a much greater concentration of allied troops In Northern Greece for a drive against the Berlin-Constantinople Railway line. It conforms to the expectation held In several quarters here that the Balkans soon are to become the theater of a more active campaign by the allies. Officials or the Greek legation an nounced today that a petition signed by more than 300 corporations and labor unions of Greece, appealing to the ITnlted States to intervene to rai&s the allied blockade of Greek ports, had been presented to American Minister Droppers at Athens.

Spanell. of Alpine, Tex, on trial for murder In connection with the killing of his wife, Mrs. Crystal Holland Spanell, and Lieutenant-Colonel JI. C Butler in Alpine, July 20. 1916. Much time was consumed in argu ments over the admissibility of testi mony with reference to the family de votion of Spanell. The question arose when counsel for the defense asked Mrs. J. W. Downum, a state's witness. if Spanell did not seem devoted to his family. The witness answered that Spanell had spoken of the attentions he thought Colonel Butler was paying Mrs. Spanell and said if he ever saw Butler do anything he would never atop shooting. "They are getting too fa miliar, he added. Backstairs Trip Described. This conversation. Mrs. Downum sa'd. occurred two weeks before the shoot ing, after Mrs. Spanell had left her husband in the dining-room of a hotel. saying she was going upstairs to see maid about making clothes. The witness testified Spanell went up a backstairs in the hotel and returned! saying, "Hes followed her up there. Spanell referred to Colonel Butler, Mrs. Downum said. J. W. Downum has testified that Spanell asked him about a month be fore the shooting if he ever saw "any thing wrong" between his wife and Butier. "I said, 'No.' " Downum testified. Spanell said he thought he had cause to be Jealous. I said. 'If you think that you had better leave her." He said. That s what they want. Mea Together Afterward. Downum testified he met the Spanells and Butler together several times after that at picture shows and automobile riding. Mrs. Downum denied, when ques tioned by the defense, that she had ever told Spanell that "there was con siderable unfavorable comment about Mrs. Spanell and Butler in Alpine.' Admissibility of the challenged evi dence had not been decided when court adjourned. Mrs. Butleir. wearing mourning. In court today for the first time. government's decision Is regarded as an outcome of the recent conference in London between the War Office and General Nivelle, the French Command er-in-Chief, and Field Marshal Sir Douglas Halg. It is announced that "the government accepted the plan to enlist women for farm, work on a military basis, the women being paid, billeted and clothed by the War Office. Incidentally the decision seems likely to revive the acrimonious discussion of Ireland's contribution to the army. It has already been suggested that 1; borers should be brought from Ireland to replace farmhands taken from the army, and It also has been argued that if Ireland gave her full quota of men to the army It would be needless to denude the country of skilled agricul turists. It Is said, however, that the experiment already has been tried of bringing Irishmen of military age to work in munition factories in England, and that it produced jealousy and dls satisfaction which bodes ill for a elm ilar experiment with regard to farm hands. The belief has been expressed that publio opinion would not tolerate seeing young Irishmen safely engaged in farm work to permit Englishmen to risk their lives at the front.
