DELAYS SPEECH
Address to Deal With Situation as
It Is When Session Is Assem-
bled West Wants to Avoid
War, Says Hitchcock.
' WASHINGTON, March' 27. Svith
Army, Navy and IndusVlaVprepared
Sess measures to meet German aggres
sion going forward as rapidly as pos
sible. President Wilson and his Cabinet
today took up consideration of further
steps to follow the convening of Con'
Cress In extra session next Monday.
The President has not yet written
the message he will deliver Tuesday or
Wednesday, and is said to have reached
no final conclusion as to Just what
recommendation to make. Because of
possible changes in the situation he Is
not expected to put the address In final
shape until the last moment.
Policy to Be Vigorous.
There Is no. doubt In the minds of
Administration officials that whatever
may be its details the policy laid be
fore Congress will be both vigorous
and comprehensive.
The general opinion after the Cabinet
meeting apparently was that the pro
gramme most likely to be followed by
Congress will include a declaration
that a state of war exists between the
United States am. Germany, an author
ization for the President to use the
armed forces of the Nation to protect
its rights, the granting of a large credit
to the Government to carry out Its
policy, passage of censorship and es
pionage bills, the provision for the
employment of additional secret service
agents.
No final decision has been reached
as to whether financial assistance
should be given the entente allies
although a strong sentiment for such
a step Is favored among Government
officials. If It is done the Government
then probably will deal directly with
the other governments concerned, and
not through agents.
Colonel House Sees Wilson.
Colonel E. M. House, the President's
adviser, arrived at the ' White House
tonight from New York. He is expected
to stay several days.
Senator Hitchcock, a member of the
Senate foreign relations committee,
conferred with the President during
the day and later said that he believed
Mr. Wilson still had an open mind re
garding recommendations to Congress.
Personally, Senator Hitchcock thought
the passage of a resolution by Congress
indorsing the President's armed neu-
i.i aiiij niauu vvuuiu uo uciier man at
declaration of war. or a declaration
that a state of ". -ar exists.
Arterwa. as the statement was au
thorized at the White House that the
President had Invited suggestions, but
had not committed himself.
Senator Hitchcock said he called to
impress the President with the Western
sentiment against "precipitate action.
"I wished the President to know," he
explained, "that I believe my own state
and most of the people of the Western
states are most desi.ous of avoiding a
declaration of war. or a declaration
that a state of war exists, until no
other course remains open.
Defense Measareu Approved.
"I approve and I believe the country
approves of the steps taken toward
defense of complete prej arations look
ing to war If It becomes necessary."
Measures growing out of the Interna
tional situation and left-over approprl-
. atlon bills, It appeared today, will com
prise almost the whole legislative pro
gramme of the approaching extra ses
sion of Congress.
While leaders will no' attempt to
frame a definite programme until after
President Wilson's opejiing address,
Senate Democratic leaders today '
pressed belief that the work of the
extraordinary session would be con
xinea 10 legislation esBenuany "ex
traordinary."
The National Defense Council. It be
came. known today. Is considering pro
posing legislation to make possible the
systematizing of purchase of . upplies
of all kinds for the Government in case
of active warfare. One suggestion
under advisement would give the Gov
ernment authority to fix prlcec In
making purchases.
BIBLE TO TEST LITERACY

WASHINGTON, March 27. Reading
matter for a literacy test 'for aliens un
der the new immigration law will be
taken from the Bible, the Department
of Labor announced today. Passages
will be selected in more than 100- lan
guages and dialects.
"This Is not because the Bible Is con
sidered a sacred book by many people,"
said the department's announcement,
"but because it Is now the only book
in virtually every tongue.'

The mobilization point of the Third
Oregon Infantry will be Vancouver
Barracks, Washington, Instead of
Camp Withycombe, at Clackamas, Or.
Late yesterday Adjutant - General
George A. White received a' telegram
from headquarters of the Western De
partment, United States Army, at San
Francisco, designating Vancouver Bar
racks as the mobilization point.
Camp Withycombe, where the Oregon
troops mobilized last Summer before
moving to the Mexican border, had pre
vlously been designated by the West
ern Department.
General White Suggests Change.
The change to Vancouver Barracks
was In response to a recommendation
to the Western Department made by
General White several days ago.
Ho pointed out that Camp Withy
combe is not a healthful location for
unseasoned troops In wet weather, as
there are no permanent barracks as
at "Vancouver.
When the mobilization at Vancouver
will be ordered is another matter. No
further Instructions have been re
ceived by General White on that point
from the Western Department. .
Recruiting, to Continue,
Unless unforeseen developments oc
cur, however. It Is believed probaolo
that the various units of the Third
Infantry will - be kept in . their local
armories for several days to come
before receiving orders to concentrate
at Vancouver. In the meantime they
will devote their time principally to
drilling and bringing up . their ranks
to war strength.
To Company M, of Salem, Captain
Neer In command, the honors of hav
ing the first war strength company
In the Third Infantry probably will
go for the second time In succession.
Company M, then commanded by Cap
tain Max Gehlhar, reported at Camp
Withycombe last Summer when the
Mexican mobilization was ordered with
the command recruited up to full war
strength.
Five Hundred Recruits Enlisted.
Colonel John L. May, of the Third
Infantry, heard from Captain Neer yes

been recruited to more than 90 men,

SEATTLE. Wash., March 27. Mayor
Hiram C Gill, principal defendant In
the whisky conspiracy case on trial In
the United States District Court, went
on the witness stand In his own behalf
today and declared that Logan Bll-
lingsley's accusation that he had ac
cepted a bribe of 34000 from the liquor
sellers was "falser than hell was ever
thought of being."
A little later the Mayor flatly con
tradicted testimony of Rev. Mark
A. Matthews as to a conversation In
which the clergyman and the Mayor
engaged concerning the alleged bribe.
The other defendants on trial are
Chief of Police Charles L. Becklngham
and City Detectives Peyser, Poolman.
Doom and McLennan, all charged with
conspiracy to import liquor into the
state of Washington.
Championship of Crooks Denied.
Under cross-examination Mayor Gill
denied with some heat that In his prac

fense of "men of the underworld."
"I'm a pretty good orlminal lawyer.
a pretty good civil lawyer," shouted
the Mayor. "I'll go back and make
living from my law practice when I
get tired of being Mayor."
The Mayor tsld of his wrecking of
the Billlngsley drug. stores-and his ef
forts to put the Bllllngsleys out of
business, and complained that In this
fight he did not have the co-operation
of Prosecuting Attorney Lundin.
Talk With Vanderveer Recalled.
The Mayor said he had been told pri
vately of the record of the Bllllngsleys
as liquor sellers In Oklahoma and West
Virginia and knew that he would have
a hard struggle to drive them 'out of
Seattle. The Mayor admitted that he
had publicly declared he would run the
Bllllngsleys out of town, but said he
knew he was only making a bluff and
could not carry out his threat, espe
cially with the Prosecuting Attorney
not helping.
The Mayor told of the Bllllngsleys'

Coucy-Le-Chateau, which is perched
on a height, could not be attacked from
the front, and the French, following
Napoleon's maxim of going around an
obstacle that cannot be surmounted
cleared the Germans out of the lower

MANY SHOTS FIRED IN BATTLE
Joseph Gue Is Dead; Chauf
feur Badly Wounded.
WAR BREAKS OUT ANEW
Two in Light Coats Are Declared to
Have Fired Shots, Fled to Near
Corner and Dodged to Side
Street One Is Held.
J
Chinese tongmen In an automobile
last night pursued another machine in
which Joseph Gue, a Chinaman, was
riding, and shot Gue 'to death and
wounded Antone Marovich, his chauf
feur, in a battle at Second and Madison
streets.
Marovich, who lives at 408 Salmon
street, was shot through the left arm,
near the shoulder. He Is In Good Sa
maritan Hospital. Gue died on the
way to a hospital.
The shooting, which is believed by
police to mark the resumption of hos
tilities between the allied Hop Sing and
Suey Sing tongmen and the allied Bins
Kung-Bow Leong and Hip Sing tong
men. was the most sensational tragedy
since the trouble started last month.
Victim Chased by Auto.
Marovich had been acting as chauf
feur for Gue since the tong trouble
started. Gue, who Is proprietor of the
Olympic & Eastern Oyster Company,
50 Madison street, is said to have
been a member of the Bow Leong tong.
although he was not active in tong
affairs.
As the automobile drew up In. front" -
of Gue's restaurant. 259 Madison street,
last night, another car shot down Madi
son street behind It. As the pursuers,
passed the standing auto two Chinese
leaped out and began flring. One of -the
asssasslns stood on each footboard
of the victim's machine and fired at the
Chinaman Inside.
Police believe that Marovich was
shot accidentally, although It Is con
sidered possible that the Chinese were
angry because of his continued asso
ciation with Gue.
Fireman Gets Suspect.
W. J. Brockman, of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company, and'
William Taggart, a fireman, arrested
Wong Wing Tueng, a San Francisco
Chinaman, a few blocks from the scene
of the shooting, after chasing him in .
an automobile.
John Rizl, who lives at Second and
Main streets, was standing at the cor
ner of Second and Madison when the
shooting occurred. His story of the
tragedy Is as follows:
"I saw two little men, like Japanese.
rush up to the Jitney, one on each side.
and leap on the running boards. Then
I heard a popping. At first I thought
It was a motorcycle coming behind the
jitney, but In a second I saw the sparks
from the guns the men had, and then
I knew it was shooting. ,
' Assassins Later Fart.
"I ducked behind a post, and a min
ute later the two men ran up Second
street South. One of them had a cap '
on. the other wore a hat. Both. I
think, had tan coats. The whole thing
happened so quickly. I was too scared
to look close at the two men, but I am '
sure they were both little."
Others who saw the shooting and the
fleeing men confirmed Rizi's report
that they wore tan or light coats, and
that they ran south on Second to Co
lumbia, where they separated, one go
ing towards the river, and the other
swinging towards Third street.
Six Shots Hit Victim.
Gue's. body was taken to the morgue.
where it was found that six shots had
struck him. He was 35 years old and
had been a resident of the city for
many years. He was known as an
Americanized Chinese.
Detectives Royle and Vaughn and .
Deputy' District Attorney Ryan said
that Tueng was one of seven Chinese
arrested In Salem and brought here for
detention more than a month ago. All
the men were released then, when it
became clear that the police had no
evidence that they were tongmen, al
though morally certain they belonged
to either the Hop Sings-or Suey Sings.
Suspect Breathless From Flight.
Three white men are said by police
to have-Identified Tueng as one of the
men who fled from the scene of the
shooting. When captured the China
man was breathless from running.
Further outbreak of the tong war
In Portland was feared by the police as
a result of the finding yesterday morn
ing of the body of Jim Bow, Hop Sing
tongman and one of the proprietors of
the New York Restaurant, 12 North
Sixth street, in the room occupied by
the Chinese at the Hotel Muller, 25
North Sixth street. The Hhroat of the
Chinese had been slit with a huge
kjilfe, which was left sticking In the
wound.
The police hold to the theory that
the man was the victim of suicide, but
a thorough Investigation is being made
in the' possibility that a rival tong
man may have done the deed. Some of
the Chinese, however, and particularly
members of Jim Bow's tong, maintain
