PATROLMEN DENY
GETTING WHISKY
Witness Who Made Sworn
Statement Implicating Offi
cers Identifies Only Glesner.
TESTIMONY IS CONFLICTING
Patrolman Love Denies Everything
and Testifies That Ho Was Not
Near Columbia Sock or Steam
er on Night of Raid.
' Investigation of charges . by Chris
Lunstedt aeainst Patrolmen Glesner
and Love, of the Harbor Patrol, accus
ing them of confiscating 12 sacks and
five five-gallon kegs of whisky on the
night of September 3 from the steamer
Breakwater, was continued yesterday
ty Deputy District Attorney Ryan.
The entire Harbor Tatrol lined up In
the assembly-room, and Lunstedt was
asked to identify the five whom b,o ac
cused. Lunstedt Identifies Only One.
Of the 16 members before him Lun?
tedt was only able to identify Patrol
man Glesner. Afterwards Lunstedt (fold
reporters he could have picked out two
or three others, but did not want to
get them In trouble.
Asked to whom he paid $30 to hide
the news from the reporters, his answer
was, "Yob fellows will find out soon
enough." .
Mat Matcovlch, being sworn and in
formed by Mr. Ryan as to the penalty
for suppressing evidence under oath,
admitted he knew several of the Harbor
patrolmen by sight, but not by name.
He Identified Patrolman Glesner as the
man he had seen on Columbia dock No. 2
the night of the supposed raid, and
Patrolman Love as the officer who used
the telephone on the dock to call the
automobile in which the liquor was'
eald to have been hauled away.
Seaman Tells of Liquor.
Fritz Bochtman, seaman on the
Breakwater, testified he knew there
was liquor In sacks on the deck of the
jsteamer. He was present the night of
the raid, but not close enough to the
men to tell If they wero policemen.
C. J. Church, checker at the Columbia
dock, was called as a witness. Lunstedt,
in his sworn statement, said Church
told him the day following the raid
that one of the patrolmen told Church
he had "spilled the beans." This
statement 3lr. Church stoutly denies.
Glesner Denies Statements.
Patrolman Glesner, Interrogated by
Mr. Ryan, admitted being at the dock
the night of the alleged raid, bu'.
stoutly denied knowledge of any
liquor.
"I left the harbor office at 11:45
P. M., he testified, "and about 12:Q5
A. M. reached Columbia dock. Four
fellows were standing In the street. I
asked them what they were doing
there. They eaid they were longshore
men going to work on the Breakwater.
One of them asked If he could go on
board the boat and get a bottle of
liquor. I told him no. They turned and
walked back toward the sidewalk on
the west side of Front street. 1 walked
over to them and was going to ask
them why they didn't beat it, when
Rome man. coming from the north on
Kront street, came up, saying: "The
Harbor Patrol has got the whole damn
business." I then said: "Well, you
fellows beat it.
Officer Thought He Was Being: Tricked.
"I walked out on the south corner of
the upper dock and looked over the
boat from the dock and saw nobody in
eight. 1 thought it was a game to get
me out of the way. I went back to
the street and went to the north end
of the dock and looked down the in
cline and saw nobody there. I came
back to Front street and immediately
left for my station at t-3 Kastcrn &
"Western Mill, arriving there about
12:45 or 12:50. I was there- until 7
in the morning."
Mr. Glesner explained Matcovltch
testifying against him by saying they
had argued over the war at different
times.
Patrolman Love denied all the accu
sations in Lundstedt's statement. On
the night of the raid he says he took
the streetcar at First and Washington
streets and went directly to his beat
at the North Pacific Mill, where ho re
mained until morning.
The Investigation will probably be
completed today.
NEW BUILDING TO RISE
(Continued From First Faga.t
eral Conference, the final authority,
sustained the .action of Bishop Cooke
and the official board.
Likewise, when the case -was taken
into the Circuit Court of Multnomah
County the dissenters failed to get re
lief, but they continued to hold meet
ings, first in front of the old building
and later in the Circle Theater, where
Sunday morning preaching services are
now conducted.
Bishop Hughes, District Superintend
ent Youngson and Dr. Stansfleld, pres
ent pastor, have taken a conciliatory
attitude toward the members now
meeting in Circle Theater and have
permitted ministers of the denomina
tion to preach there, although under
the provisions of the discipline this
could be forbidden upon objection by
Dr. Stansfleld. He has never exercised
this prerogative and has endeavored to
have those who feel aggrieved, If they
cannot tee their way clear to join with
First Church, affiliate with the com
munity churches.
General Co-operation Expected.
"With the completion of the new
structure, which will be rushed as
rapidly as is possible, the establish
ment of a city mission will afford an
excellent opportunity for practical
services to Methodism and the Im
mediate district, it is the hope of First
Church officials that there will be a
general co-operation to make of this
new and important venture a great
success.
"We shall hope earnestly for big
things," said Dr. Stansfleld, last night.
"There has long been a feeling that
Portland Methodism needs a city mis
sion and when the trustees have com
pleted the new building and have of
fered room for it, we shall ask the
Church Extension Society to take
charge of the mission and furnish
workers, etc., for the carrying out of
the plan."

STRIKE LAID TO ENEMY
GOVERNOR LOWDE5J THINKS EVIL,
INFLUENCES ARE! AT WORK.
Streetcar Operatives and Owners Are
Told That Unless They Can Agree
Martial Law Slay Be Declared.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 12 After
being closeted for several hours with
members of the State Council of De
fense in a discussion of the strike here
of streetcar operatives which has
spread to other trades until 7000 men
are idle and many industries are
paralyzed. Governor Frank O. Lowden
in a statement late today charged sin
ister and anti-American influences with
bringing about much of the disorder of
the past few weeks.
"We cannot afford." said the Gov
ernor, "at this time to have the ene
mies of our Government appear to be
the champions of labor when they are
really traitors to labor and traitors to
their country.
The statement followed the sendin
of a special committee of mediators to
both sides of the streetcar strike con
troversy with what was believed to be
an ultimatum that failure to compose
their differences would mean drastic
measures by the state and perhaps
martial law.
Aproximately 7000 men and women
were idle today and other trades
planned meetings for tonight to vote
on tho question of walking out.
At the conclusion of today's meeting
of the Defense Council. Chairman
Samuel InsuU .stated he would call to
gether the coal commtitec of tho coun
cil within a few days, presumably to
give attention to the Springfield sit
uation where 50(10 miners are idle.
"We are getting along very well
with the Springfield Federation of
Labor and with most of the recognizee
labor people."- said Governor Lowden.
"They are making- every effort to keep
their men at work. There are a few
men, however, who pose as labor men
and who. I am informed, are too
friendly with the enemies of our coun
try. These men are taking advantage
of the labor situation in an attempt to
align the labor people on the side of
lawlessness and disorder, making all
sorts of pretexts for their action."
AID SOCIETY FEELS WAR
More Children Are Received and
Cost of Support Rises.
War has dealt its blow to the Boy
and Girls' Aid Society In advance of

explained by R. E. Arne, superintend
ent, yesterday at the regular monthly
meeting oi mo Doara or trustees and
the advisory board. Judge W. B. Gil
bert presided.
The reports of F. I. Fuller, treasurer.
and F. E. Beach, secretary, showed that
a large number of philanthropic citi
zens have shown Interest in the so
ciety's work and that many neglected
children have been rescued, and, that
many of these had been placed In good
nomei.
Superintendent Arne, however, re
ported that the number of children
Drought to the home had increased ma
terially the last month, and explained
inai an investigation showed that con
dltions resulting from the war were re
sponsible.

SHIP
IS UP TO CONGRESS
Pacific Coast Yards Will Get
Fair Share of Any Wood
Vessels Contracted.
LABOR DECISION AWAITED
Chairman Suggests to Senators
Chamberlain, and McXary That
Builders Submit "Propositions
for Vessels for Allies.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Sept. 12. If Congress appro
priates another billion dollars for the
construction or ships, contracts win oe
let by the Shipping Board for 75 addi
tional wooden vessels and the Pacific
Coast will have a fair share of the
number. This assurance was given
Jointly to Senators Chamberlain and
McNary by Chairman Hurley or tno
Shipping Board, when they called on
him to get some definite statement of
the board's attitude toward Oregon
wooden shipbuilders.
Tomorrow the Oregon Senators will
confer, with Admiral Capps to pursue
the subject and attempt to get from
him some more definite assurance than
has been forthcoming up to this time.
Chairman Hurley axpressed appreci
ation of the fact that Portland is one
location where yards have an advan
tage of material right at hand, and in
this respect is admirably adapted for
wood ship construction, better, in fact,
than most localities seeking ship contracts.
Labor Situation Interferes.
Admiral Capps was not ready to dis
cuss shipbuilding with the Oregon Sen
ators today, saying tho labor situation
on the Pacific Coast is now being dis
cussed by the adjustment board and
until that question is settled, he Inti
mated he would not care to commit
himself as to the future attitude of the
board. However, the Penators will press
him as they pressed Mr. Hurley, to as
sent to Pacific Coast yards making
contracts with the allied governments.
if the United States Government Is un
willing to order ships built in those
yards.
The Senator insisted to Mr. Hurley
and will repeat to Admiral Capps that
it Is folly to withhold contracts from
shipyards that are ready and capable
of building wooden vessels, at the same
time denying those yards the right to
build for others who want wood ships.
The French government, the Senator
learned tonight, is ready to contract
for as many wooden ships as American
yards-can turn out, Jf the Whipping
Board will waive its right to com
mandeer those ships while under con
struction of after they are completed,
but France will not place contracts as
long as the United States reserves the
right to seize the ships at any time.
Proposition Is Suggested.
Mr. Hurley suggested that the Sen
ators submit a concrete ' proposition
from one or more Oregon yards to
build wooden ships for allied govern
ments or for individuals, with the stip
ulation In the contract that yards will
pay no more than the recognized scale
of wages or the established price of
material, and will conform to the hours
of labor that prevail or may later pre
vail lu yards building for the Govern
ment.
If such a proposal is submitted Mr.
Hurley intimated that it might be ap
proved and thus release many yards
on the Pacific Coast that today cannot
get Government contracts, and yet are
not allowed to build for others.
Mr. Hurley's Idea is that if construc
tion for other governments is permit
ted, yards taking these contracts
should not upset either the labor or
material market upon which Govern
ment contractors have to draw. This
same idea, it is known, is held by Ad
miral Capps.
WOMAN VIOLATES LAWS
Yife Confesses to Killing Deer o
Save Husband.
The first woman to- be arrested
charged with violation of the hunting
laws in several seasons i being held
at Empire City for action by the grand
jury. She is Mrs. Glenn Konel and It is
charged she killed a deer in the closed
season.
Mrs. Rosel's husband was charged
with killing deer, and Mrs. Kosel said
it was she and not her husband who is
guilty. J. M. Thomas, deputy game
warden at North Bend, made the arrest,
and both Mr. and Mrs. Kosel will be
investigated by the grand jury.

ice of the Postal Telegraph Company

pany says It is practically impossible
