THE MORXiyG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. MARCH 9, 1917. HOT WOODS FLY IN TRIAL OF FIREMEN Ex-Circuit Judge McGinn and Chief Young Argue Over Booze Charges. CLASHES BECOME BITTER Hearing Before Civil Service Board 4 Enlivened When Defendant's At torney Attacks Firo Chiefs, Tress and Himself. 'A free-for-all argument over the question of booze and its effect in the lire bureau and elsewhere entertained a. Council Chamber full of women and men yesterday when the Municipal Civil Service Boards staged the second heat of the trial of firtmen seeking reinstatement from discharges for drinking-, carousing and other things. Ex-Circuit Judge McGinn, who with W. S. U'Ren represented the firemen, punctuated the proceedings periodically with outbursts in which he attacked the fire chiefs, the newspapers and himself individually, collectively and otherwise. The firemen lost out In part of their fight when the Board decided in the case of L. C. Benfield, a fireman who was tried laet week before the Board on a charge of contributing to the de linquency of a minor, that he should stay discharged. Benfield was one of the number of firemen ousted in the general cleanup of the service by.tha Board of Fire Chiefs, and. a strong fight was made in his case. Affidavits in Evidence. The caseg tried yesterdr- were those of Charles Haberland. W. J. Costello and A. T. Martin, charged with having drunk alcohol in the fire station at Fourteenth and Glisan streets. Evi dence had been taken before In the cases of Costello and Martin and the fireworks yesterday centered largely about Haberland. It was shown by affidavit that he got 90 ounce; of alcohol in two months and during last year got five shipments of whisky from California. The alco hol was obtained in December and Jan uary. He said it was obtained for the purpose of rubbing sore legs. The city showed that he had obtained alcohol before his legs were hurt. Battalion Chief Young was the principal witness in the eases and his statements brought an outburst from ex-Judge McGinn. "It ill befits you. John Young, to ac cuse anyone of a tendency to drink ing," thundered Judge McGinn. "It would ill become me. You and I, John Young, can't accuse anyone along that line and be honest. No, these charges are not honest; they are subterfuges, dishonest subterfuges, shams. These charges are notices to firemen that if they support the two-platoon system they do so at the risk of their jobs." Drinking Firemen Declared Beat. "It is a serious thing for you. Judge McGinn, to try to excuse a fireman for getting drunk by saying that one of the chiefs drank In the past." re torted Deputy City Attorney Tomlin fcon, representing the city. "Why didn't you bring charges againjst Chief Young?" "I'm not a stool pigeon, yet," asserted Judge McGinn. "Furthermore, drink ing is a part of the firefighting busi ness. It does not make them ineffi cient. The greatest fire fighters al ways have been drinkers. David Camp hell was the one exception." The question of the motives In the discharge of the men was brought up and attributed by Mr. U'Ken as a fight on the two-platoon system which is to be voted on in June. Every member of the Board of Fire Chiefs testified that the two-platoon proposition had noth ing whatever to do with the cases, the discharges having been made for the good of the service. .uMr; iTllen accused Chief Stevens and Chief Young of having Inspired articles In the newspapers. They testified that they had given the facts and their opinions to representatives of the papers, but had gone no further. Argument Is Peppery. 'You've got quite a reputation as a publicity getter, haven't you?" asked Judge McGinn of Chief Stevens "I noticed an editorial this morning about your being adept at that." "And you might say what the rest of the editorial said," said Chief Stevens. "It went on to say that I am a good official." "Yes you're a good publicity getting official." retorted Judge McGinn "You've been in the game" long enough," said Chief Stevens. "You're a pretty fair Judge." Chief Young testified that he had seen both Costello and Haberland under the influence of liquor while on duty and on two nights in January found Haberland asleep while on watch in the lire station. He said also he had had reports from'othens regarding drinking in the station. Mayor Albee testified that he had received reports of carousing in the station, and that he discharged the men on recommendation of the Board of Chiefs. Mr. Haberland was asked why he did not show up. at the hearing of his case scheduled for last week. He testified he was out of the city. Three of the Board of Chiefs testined that they saw him in town on the day of the trial The cases were taken under advise ment by the Civil Service Board. Shirts That Fit are the kind we sell. .

This statement was made today to the Associated Press 'by Major General F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the War Office. General Maurice said the Turks made no de fense of Ctesiphon. - Cteslphon is abou.t 20 miles below Bagdad. It was at this point that the decisive battle was fought" fn the cam paign of 1915, resulting in the defeat of the British attempt to capture Bag dad, and it had been believed .that in their present retreat the Turks might offer serious resistance when tnis town was reached. The British War Office reports indicate that little opposition has been offered by the Turks since the fall of Kut-el-Amara on February 26. The British have advanced nearly Ijuo miles in that time. Germans on Western Front. BERLIN. March 8. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) Conditions on the Franco-Belgian front were generally quiet yesterday, owing- to the preva lence of bad weather, army headquar ters announced today. Germans on Eastern front. BERLIN, March 8. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) Operations on the Rus sian front yesterday were unimportant. In Macedonia, only outpost skirmishes occurred, according to today's army headquarters statement. Italian. ROME, via London. March 8. (Brit ish Admiralty, per Wireless Press.) "On the Trentino front, in 6pite of yesterday's bad weather," says today's War Office report, "there were vio lent artillery actions, especially in the Adige Valley zone. Several small en counters with the enemy occurred. He was everywhere repulsed." French. PARIS, March 8. Spirited artillery actions continued In the night between the Oise and the Alsne, says today's official report. The French took pris oners in raids in Lorraine and in an unsuccessful German attack on French positions at Seppois-le-Haut, Lorraine. Tonight's official communication reads: "In Champagne, after intense artil lery preparation, our troops succeeded in capturing the greater part of a salient occupied by the enemy on Feb ruary 15 between Butte Mesnil and MaisolM de Champagne. One hundred prisoners, among them two officers, re mained in our hands. "On the left bank of the Meuse oar ar.tillery fire overturned German or ganizations between Hill 304 and Avo court wood. In Alsace our batteries dispersed a strong enemy detachment south of Gernant." Russians in Persia. PETROGRAD, via London, March 8. The Russians in Persia have made fur ther important progress in their pur suit of the Turks from Hamadan, the War Office announced today. After their capture of the Asadabad summit they continued their progress south ward and on Monday occupied the town of Kanjaver. ii PRINCESS PAT" IS TUNEFULANDFUNNY Captivating Music and Clever Plot Keeps Heilig Audi ence in Good Humor. ROLES ADMIRABLY PLAYED Progress of the War. rjlHE Turks are being harassed on Jv three sides by forces of the entente allies. British troops under General Maude, operating along the Tigris River in Mesopotamia, have driven back the Turks -until the British cavalry is within eight miles of the southern bor der of the important town of Bagdad. To the northeast in Persia the Rus sians have gained further advantages over the Ottoman forces, in retreat westward from Hamadan, having oc cupied the town of Kangaver. Another army of King George, operating against the Turks in Palestine, has pressed them back northward almost to the gates of Jerusalem. At last reports the-Turks in all three regions were in retreat. Whether they intend to make a stand at Bagdad has not become evident. On the other fronts bad weather is keeping the operations down to minor engagements and artillery fighting. On the front held by the British in France slight additional successes have been achieved in the Ancre Valley and near Biaches, but southwest of Chaulnes and south of Arras the Germans raided British first line positions after heavy bombardments and captured a few men. In the Champagne region the French have rewon a salient captured Febru ary 15 between Butte Mesnil and Mai sons de Champagne, taking more than 100 prisoners. Bombardments are in progress at other points on the French line. KITCHENER IS BLAMED COMMISSION FIXES CAUSE OF FAIL URE IX DARDANELLES. High Officials Held to Have Erred In Holding Aloof k While One Man Assumed Too Bis Task. LONDON". March 8. The majority re port of the commission appointed last July to Investigate the Dardanelles campaign, which was held up for a fortnight by the decision to expurgate Certain sections referring to allied countries, was made public today. The commission reports that the late Lord Kitchener, then War Secretary, favored the project and that when he gave a decision In the war council it was in variably accepted as final. The dis patch of the troops to the East was delayed three weeks, the report says, as the result of a decision of Lord Kitchener, which was not communi cated to the then First Lord of the Ad miralty, Winston Spencer Churchill. The project was undertaken on the initiative of Colonel Churchill. The commission reports that naval advisers would have preferred a joint military and naval attack, instead of the at tack by the fleet alone, and declares that these views should have been heard by the war council, which was not justified in coming to the decision without a much fuller investigation. The possibility of making a surprise attack by land and water offered such great military and political advantages, the commission finds, that it was ill advised to sacrifice this possibility by deciding hastily to undertake a purely naval attack, which from its nature could not attain completely the objects desired. The report of the commission says that Lord Kitchener's premature death and the death of his secretary. Major Fitzgerald, render it impossible to state with confidence the opinions and alms of Lord Kitchener at different periods of the proceedings. The commission does not believe, however, that even deference to the memory of the illus trous dead justified It in abstaining from complete revelations of his course. MISSOURI SOCIETY MEETS Membership Campaign Is to Be Started at Once. The Missouri State Society met last night at Central Library for a discus sion of a membership campaign, on the same lines being followed by the other state societies. The first step in the campaign will be an attempt to secure a roster of the Missourians in Portland and Oregon. A talk was made by C. C. Hhomason. who explained the need of action in preparation for the entertainment of the visitors from Missouri during the convention of the National Education Association in July. Committees will be appointed at once to work out plans for the fonvention. ONE KILLED IN TONG WAR Continued From First Page.) table. Whenever pressed too closely, he maintained that he had been too frightened to observe. Patrolmen Nutter and Niles were the first to reach the room in which the shooting occurred. The place was blue with revolver smoke, and deserted ex cept for the dead man, who lay face downward on the floor. One bullet had struck him in the forehead, and ranged downward to his ear, where it shat tered the skull as it came out. Two more shots had been fired into his back at such close range that the clothing was burned. - Revolver Is Recovered. In a kitchen stove in an adjoining room. Patrolman Ervln found a re volver of .32-20" caliber, with all six chambers discharged. It is believed to have been the weapon used in tn. murder, as two bullets taken from the dead body by Deputy' Coroner Smith were of that caliber. Yee Wing, 22, a cannery worker, was arrested by Detective Hill and Patrol man Spaugh. who saw him assisting Leong Quong across the street. Yee Wing fled when he saw the police coming, but was captured after a chase to Second and Washington streets. Leong Quong meanwhile had entered his quarters at S3M Second street, and was-found later in bed. The police were obliged to break down the door to gain entrance. " Fong Hong, the murdered man, Is said to have belonged to the Hop Sing tong, but to have given up his mem bership seven years- ago because he could not pay the dues. Since that time, it is said, he had no tong affilia tions. Ton Km en Go In Hiding. This fact leads the police to two sepa rate theories. One is that the man who was shot by Hop Sing gunmen through fear that he might divulge tong secrets during the present war. This hypothe sis is one on which police are trying to connect Louie Fong with the murder. Louie Fong, however, maintains that none of the gamblers were tongmen, and adduces as proof the fact that all tongmen are in hiding. The .other theory is that the Bow Leong-Bing Kung, or Hip Sing gunmen, who have been warring with the Hop Sing and Suey Sing tongs, shot Fong Hong during the raid because of his former associations. Police began searching Old China town for firearms immediately after the shooting, and collected seven revolvers within a few minutes. A number of Chinese were arrested and held for in-J vestlgation. Among them were Wong Me M6"h, bookkeeper of a store adjoin- i 1 " ' : "W" 1 ' ' - "ITlnniflsnWSlHrMlffi1 sMIIii'iii'lm'iiiTOili ii'.ii in i. : A It Blanche Duffleld, in Portland Once Before "Witu De Wolf Hopper, Is Instant Hit of Company, but Others Delight, Too.

CIVIL SERVICE OPPOSED Speaker Clark Says Democrats Want Own Postmasters. WASHINGTON, March 8. More than 50 Democratic Representatives already have voiced opposition to the Presi dent's coming order for a modified civ il service to govern appointments of all first, second and third-class Post masters. Representatives Mondell, of Wyo, ming, and Hayes, of California, Re publicans, conferred with the Postmaster-General by invitation to talk over postal quesetions. Mr. Mondell said later that Mr. Burleson had told him the order was in pursuance of his pur pose to divorce the postal service from politics. Speaker Clark commented on Mr. Burleson's present practice of appoint ing the highest roan on the civil serv ice list' in filling fourth-class Postmas tership vacancies. "To my mind," he said, "that raised more Cain in poll tics than anything else, and it is one of the main reasons why the next House is so close. People in a Demo cratic district want a Democrat in of fice as Postmaster." W. F. Woodward at Toledo. TOLEDO. Or., March 8. (Special.) Following a 75-mile hike down the coast to Newport, W. F. Woodward, of the firm of Woodard, Clarke & " Co., druggists of Portland, yesterday ap peared before the County Court at To ledo and entertained a courtroom full of enthusiastic taxpayers with a lec ture on good roads and much valuable information on the possibilities due from the $6,000,000 bonding movement.

McCulloch is pastor of Epwortb Church. , BY LEONE CASS BAER. In "The Princess Pat" Victor Herbert has composed another score which has been accepted among his best composi tions of recent years. If you're acquainted at all with Herbert's music you'd recognize it in stantly the first strains of the overture begin. It is tuneful music, more eo than "The Only Girl." which was the last Herbert opera to visit us. The plot, too, is ambitious, concocted by Henry Blossom, and tells a well-connected story. - There's a thin-legged musical com edy comedian in the form of a country constable, whose humor centers mainly in his weird legs, and further vents itself in a funny song well toward the close of the opera. It is a cheery ballad about the shoes of hu-band number 1 as worn by number 2. Lines Draw Frequent Laughs. Mr. Blossom's funny lires are really funny and his lyrics are well done. The plot of "Princess Pat" tells of a Yale youth named Schmalz, son of A millionaire who has had a wild life on Broadway and conveniently forgotten his whereabouts. While in this somewhat exalted mood he is taken in tow by a kindly fre quenter of a cafe, who volunteers to chaperone him until he is quite sober again. Whereupon these twn mc tv. Schmalz car to a big country house- in Lasthampton, where old man Schmalz, the young chap's father, is visiting his youthful 'lancee. The adventuresome pair In the mutnr are pursued by the aforementioned con stable of the thin legs, who causes considerable uneasiness by his deter mination to arrest romebody anybody. Arrives now the Princess Pat. a charming Irish lass, who is married to an Italian prince, whom she adores. out who is neglecting her, she fancies. Princess Starts Flirtation. the decides to i gln a flirtation with Schmalz, Sr. Her reasons are twain. One is to make the Prince jealous and restore his wandering affections. A sec ond reason is to save the young fiancee of old man Schmalz from marrying him. The Princess even agrees to an elope ment with Schmalz, Jr.. and gets as far as the waiting automobile, when the thin-legged Constable, who has been tipped off, arrests them. Then the truth comes out, all of it, set to music, of course. In the meantime Schmal-, Jr.. has be come interested in the ex-fiancee of his father, and so everything ends quite merrily and marriedly. Blanche Duffield, who visited us four years ago with De Wolf Hopper in his renewal of the Gilbert-Suliivan operas, maden instantaneous success as Prin cess Pat. She has a lovely voice, of fine quality. She is wholesome, attrac tive, acts with method and tempera ment. Also she dances gracefully and wears beautiful gowns. Miss Fallon Creates Own Role. . Eva Fallon, who is one of the original New York company, is playing the role she created, that of the fiancee of first Kchmalz, Sr.. and then Schmalz, Jr. Oscar Figman hasn't half the oppor tunity to be as funny as we know Oscar Figman can be. He appears as the kindly Broadwayite willing to look after an Irresponsible youth. He played the part straight with delightful com edy in pantomime and gestures, and gave us quite a new type. At the close of the play young Schmalz was still asking him '"'Please tell me who you are?" and the Broad wayite (Figman) was still answering, "Wait:" Ben 'Hendricks played the elder Schmalz admirably, and Jack Pollard, brother to the irrepressible Daphne, & Ir pi Jvt---S:j tea YourStampsAreCash You Will Receive Twenty Extra Today and Saturday With the Coupon ZBF BRING THIS COUPON AND GET 20-EXTRA -20 Trading Stamps : on your-first $1.00 cash purchase and double on the ba.1- Q aiice. uuuu on ursc three floors today and Sat urday.

GROCERS HAVE PROTEST THREAT TO STOP SALE OF BREAD IN STORES MADE. Bakers Said to Permit Delivery Wason Drivers to Do Wholesale Business Instead of Being Agents Only. - Portland grocers charge that drivers of bakery wagons are doing a whole sale business to the grocers of the city instead of merely acting as agents in the sale of bread by the bakers to the grocers. It is charged by mem bers of the Portland Grocers' Associa tion that the practice has become so widespread that it is eating what little profit there is in the bread business for the grocers. Last night the matter was to have been threshed out between the grocers and the bakers at the Chamber of Com merce but the bad weather kept the main speakers at home, and the meet ing was postponed until two weeks from last night. However, several prominent grocers and bakers did ap pear and the matter was generally dis cussed. The grocers say that unless the prac tice is stopped there is a probability that they will taken concerted action and eliminate bread from their com modities, and that if the bakery wag on drivers wish to sell retail they can do so from house to house and make their own collections. "We carry bread only as an accom modation," said R. G. Duncan, secre tary of the Retail Grocers' Association, last night." There is no profit in it, for it costs much more to deliver it than we can make out of it." the general delivery office in Portland. Depositions will be taken in Portland. Mr. Baum advises, located.
