THREE ARRESTED AS
DISLOYAL SUSPECTS
ONE OF THE 220 MEMBERS OF THE OREGON NAVAL MILITIA WHO
YESTERDAY ENTRAINED FOR BREMERTON NAVY-YARD.
Frank Polewsky Accused by
; Dayton Citizens of Seditious
and Intemperate Talk.
MAN, 22, OF GERMAN BiRTH
Prisoner Says His Desire Is to Get
Out of Country, but He Will Be
Turned Over to Federal Au
thorities Two Others Held.
Within 24 hours the Portland police
have arrested three men for the alleged
expression of sentiments disloyal to the
United States. One Is held on an Inves
tigation charge, one is charged with
disorderly conduct and the third with
vagrancy.
Two of the arrests appear to be of
minor importance, but the apprehen
sion of Frank Polewsky. on information
received In an urgent telephone mes
sage to Detective Captain Baty from
citizens of Dayton." Or., is believed to
be of craver character.
Yesterday morning a message was re
ceived that PolewsKy had left Dayton
for Portland on the Southern Pacific
and that his -remarks concerning the
American Government prior to his de
parture, had been of a character so
seditious and intemperate that alarmed
citizens requested his arrest upon his
arrival in Portland.
Polewsky was taken from the train
at Fourth and Washington streets at
10:20 yesterday morning by City De
tectives Leonard. LaSalle, Vaughn and
Hill, who informed him that he was
under arrest. The young man rose from
his seat, his ruddy face flushed, and
observed that he had expected It. "I
suppose you had a notification from
Dayton," he said.
Aim Is to Leave Country.
He is 22 years old and says that he
has been in the United States since
July, 1912. His English is only slightly
broken. He is slight and straight of
stature and readily admits his German
birth, but refused to discuss the sedi
tious remarks which are attributed to
him. In Dayton he was employed for
some weeks by Dr. W. L. Bishop.
"I wanted to get out of this country,"
said Polewsky, "and came to Portland
to see if I might be permitted to take
passage for South America."
The prisoner is amply supplied with
funds. The information obtained by the
police, supplemented by that received
from Dayton citizens, will be submitted
to the Federal authorities for investi
gation. Letters written In German, one
apparently being from a former Ger
man Consul, were found on Polewsky's
person and will be translated.
Carl Frledland, of Swedish descent,
was arrested Saturday night by Patrol
man. I. J. Helms on a disorderly con
duct charge, when, at First and Taylor
streets, he was lecturing an impromptu
audience on "the democratic confeder
ation of the world."
Frledland says he had no Intention of
uttering disloyal statements, but that
he merely expressed his firm convic
tions of the brotherhood of man, con
ceived in a study of social conditions.
Hearing; Set for Today.
"One young fellow said to me, "Why
don't you enlist?"" recounted Fried
land. " 'All nations are alike to me,'
I told him, 'and the whole world is my
country. The only army that will ever
gain my enlistment Is the army of world
democracy. " His hearers summoned
the patrolman and Frledland was
placed under arrest. He will be heard
today before Municipal Judge Steven
son. Foodless for 4 8 hours and "stone
broke" for more than a week, Herbert
Leland, 20 years old, was caught In the
act of soliciting alms at Second and
Burnside streets yesterday morning by
Patrolman Stone. The policeman was
disposed to release him with a lecture,
but asked, curiously, "Why don't you
enlist?"
"My father told me not to Join the
Army, never," averred Leland, with
dodged emphasis. Patrolman Stone
heard no more, but summoned the pa
trol wagon and bundled Leland, tatters
and grime, away to the City Jail, where
he was booked on a vagrancy charge:
His home is in Dayton, Or.
When asked why a military career
did not appeal to him In preference to
penniless vagabondage and whether his
disinclination was due to scruples of
conscience, Leland was stupidly brief.
"I just don't want to, that's all." he
replied, "and neither does my dad. We
don't want to go to war, partner, and
that's all they is to It."

with one of those um-bum-zub hum-
mlngs that sets us all begging for
more.
James Meehan, a dandy tenor, sings
"A Long. Long Trail." and Tommy Hyde
contributes one of those croony "lone

abused because someone isn't camping
on your eyebrow all the while.
Ed Lindeman sings one of the peachy

the usual interlocutor.
"Collusion la Clever.
A fascinating comedienne is Una
Clayton, who has a little company all
her own and presents "Collusion." As
the title suggests, it's all about an
almost divorce, with Miss Clayton
fluffing around as a discontended wife
who wants evidence. Like many an
other married sister who goes out to
hunt trouble, she runs smack dab into
It, and that's the story. Miss Clayton
Is a mighty cutie girl, with bubbling

Commands Marines.
Oregon militia again has made a rec
ord in mobilizing for active service.
The Oregon Naval Militia departed
for the Bremerton Navy-yard yesterday
morning. 220 strong, within 40 hours
after getting the call to the colors.
The boys were ready to move within
16 hours, but were delayed owing to
inability to get equipment.
The call came at 4:30 Friday after
noon. At 10 o'clock Friday night mobili
zation on board the houseboat Swan, at
the foot of Jefferson street, was com
plete. By 9 o'clock Saturday morning
they were fully equipped and ready to
move. They were to have gone at 6
o'clock Saturday evening, but lack of
sleeping cars caused postponement of
the trip until yesterday.
Their special train left over the Great
Northern at 9 o'clock. The station and
station grounds were packed with peo
ple. The men and their officers were
given a tremendous cheer from thou
sands of patriotic throats.
Scenea Are Warlike. '
Scenes around the station were quite
warlike. Flags and pennants were dis
played in great profusion. Men and
women crowded, about to bid the de
parting warriors farewell. Some wom
en grew hysterical. One mother could
not control herself and collapsed as
the train left.
The general disposition of the crowd
was one of Joyous enthusiasm. The
boys got elaborate praise for their
courage and patriotism.
Although the hour was early the
streets were well lined with Easter
morning crowds as the company
marchel from the Swan to the station.
The sailors presented a neat and at
tractive appearance. They were led
by the marine section In charge of
Lieutenant Lynn B. Coovert.
The whole organization was com
manded by Lieutenant Commander
Blair of the Naval Militia. The marine
contingent was made up of 28 men
and the Jackles of 194 men. All car
ried rifles and complete service equip
ment. The deck and engineering divisions
were attired in their blue uniforms, in
cluding heavy pea Jackets, which are
expected to afford protection from se
vere weather.
Some May Go to Atlantic Fleet.
The militia was scheduled to reach
Bremerton late yesterday afternoon
Upon arriving there the men win be
given various assignments. It is
understood that some of them will te
sent at once to Join the Atlantic fleet.
This is said to be particularly true of a
number of technical men. Others prob
ably will be detailed to reserve ships
or to vessels In active service In the
Pacific fleet, it Is improbable that the
organization will remain intact.
The Oregon Naval Militia Is com
posed of the most promising young
men In Portland. It has earned an en
viable record for its service. In 1915
it won the National gunnery trophy for
firing at moving targets "with five-Inch
guns. It is rated by the Navy Depart
ment among the best organizations of
the kind in the courtry.
Captain Bassett, chief of' the divi
sion, of naval militia affairs in the
Navy Department, at a recent hearing
before a Congressional committee,
pointed to' the Oregon organization as
a fine example of what the citizen
sailors can accomplish.
Naval Militia Two Yeara Old.
The present organization has been
built up during the last two years.
At the - legislative session of 1915,
through a spurt of economy, the naval
militia was abolished, but at the urg
ent request of Governor Wlthycombe
it was restored and placed under di
rect control of Adjutant-General
White. A complete reorganization was
effected subsequently, and expenses of
operation were greatly reduced. , Some
of the ornamental offices were abol
ished and tne mmtta got down to real
work.
The organization has taken a cruise
every year, fitting the members for
actual sea duty. Last Summer they
went to Alaska. All hands were ready
when the call came, were eager to go.
and are expected to give a good ac
count of themselves In the present war.
TARS PASS THROUGH SEATTLE
Commander Blair Says Men Don't
Want Washington to Beat Theni.
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 8. (Special.)
Oregon's Naval Militia passed
through Seattle this afternoon en route
to the Navy Yard at Bremerton. The
Oreeon volunteer bluejackets reached
Seattle at 2 o'clock, and promptly
transferred their equipment to the
steamer Flyer, which took them to the
Navy Yard. The transfer was quietly
and efficiently effected, and only a
small crowd at the Colraan dock knew
that the Oregon boys were passing
through town.
Lieutenant-Commander G. F. Blair,
in charge of the division, said "our
boys have been keen to get to the Navy
Yard and be assigned to duty. We
have heard that the Washington Naval
Militia has already been assigned to
duty and we don't wfant them to beat
us into active service. Portland is
most enthusiastic over the Navy, and
we had to turn away 50 recruits after
we learned we were to leave for ao
tive duty. The Navy is recruiting very
rapidly at home, men coming in from
all parts of Oregon.
"We could have had a half dozen di
visions of Naval Militia if there had
been any opportunity to train them.
The trouble Is they di not start en
listing until there was no chance to
train the men before leaving. Those
who came have been training regularly
and we hope to prove efficient mem
bers of the United States Navy."
PARADE OFFICES OPEN
DEMONSTRATION TO BE ARRANGED
FROM WORCESTER BUILDING.
General C. F. Beebe Will Be Marshal
of Celebration Friday, In Which
20.00O Marchers Are Sousht.
Headquarters for next Friday's big
parade and patriotic demonstration will
be established today in the Worcester
building. The number of the office
has not been designated but will be to
day. Telephone connection will be
made so that all organizations intend
ing to participate can communicate
with the committee in charge. Some
one will be there every day.
The committee consists of General C.
F. Beebe. Colonel George T. Wlllett
and J, E. Werelln. All fraternal, com
mercial, civic, beneficiary, military,
clerical and patriotic organizations are
invited to Join.
The parade will move at S o'clock
Friday. General Beebe will be grand
marshal. He wants all participating
organizations to advise him promptly
of the number of persons they will
have In line.
This plan to demonstrate Oregon's
spirit of patriotism has been suggested
by the Patriotic Service League. Mayor
Albee has been asked to call a half
holiday. The County Commissioners
will be asked to do likewise and it is
probable that the schools will be dis
missed early enough so that many of
the children can fall Into the ranks.
The committee hopes to have 20,000
marchers In line.
A big patriotic rally at the Armory
or the Ice Palace in the evening will
bring the day's festivities to a close.
Three-Sided Training Urged.
"Though I hate war." shouted Rev.
Calvin B. Waller in a patriotic sermon
at White Temple last night, "if I had
a son I'd give him now to the coun
try. The time ror argument against
war is passed; it -is a closed and de
cided debate. Our country Is at war
and we can do no less than be loyal,
patriotic sons of our forefathers."
Dr. Waller's sermon was on "The
Country Needs Men and the Men the
Country Needs." He said the need is
for men trained in brain, hand and
heart. Without all three branches of
training he said the training would be
lopsided
