Official Explanation of Korni
ioff Trouble Made by
Embassy Here.
ARMY BEING REORGANIZED
Troops Hare T.ack of Confidence In
Former Commanders and Many
of Them Are Viewed 'With
Suspicion.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. An official
explanation of the Kornlloff revolt is
sued here tenia y by the Russian Em
bassy tends to confirm accounts pub
lished in Petrograd. laying blame for
the trouble upon Vladimir Lvoff. the
Duma member who informed Premier
Ke.-ensky that Korniloff demanded
that he be made dictator.
Since the revolt was put down, ac
cording to the Embassy, a thorough re
organization has become necessary be
cause the troops lacked confidence in
their commanders and changes are be
ing made in administrative and army
positions which will result in the great
est benefit.
Kornlloff Measure Adopted.
A statement issued by the Embassy
ay s :
"The plans advocated by General
Korniloff were under consideration and
most of them had been adopted by the
provisional government on the morning
of September S and three remaining
measures were adopted, but had not
been put into operation- These meas
ures were: The enforcement of the
death penalty in the rear of the army,
the widening of the territory to be
considered as the theater of war so as
to enforce military law. and the en
forcement of martial law In Petrograd.
"On the morning of September 8 it
was decided by the provisional govern
ment to adopt these measures, but that
evening Vladimir Lvoff came from
General Kornlloff with a flat demand
that dictatorship be vested in him. A
judicial inquiry is under way to de
termine how this demand came to be
brought and to determine the origin
of the measure.
Difficult Situation Faced.
"After the quelling of the revolt the
government faced a very difficult situa
tion, caused by the fact that the troops
had a lack of confidence in their com
manders and viewed many of them with
suspicion. This led to many changes in
command and demanded a thorough re
organization of the army.
"The practice of the soldiers' com
mittee In Judging on their own account
the connection of their commanders
with the Korniloff revolution bad to be
stopped by the government, as the gov
ernment prefers to determine the culpa
bility of the officers for itself. The
present situation seems to allow the
government to enforce regulations
made before the Korniloff revolt
Changes are" being made in adminis
trative and army positions which will
be of greatest benefit." .
Death ienalr. Enforced.
An embassy official said the death
penalty for offenses in the rear of the
army is being enforced. In regard to
the report that the Bolsheviki group
and the Petrograd council of workmen
and soldiers had put through a resolu
tion against the government. It was
said that at the last council out of a
membership of 1500 only 400 represent
atives were present and that the Bol
sheviki group were able to control the
meeting.
CROWN PRINCE CRITICISED
Papers Suppressed for Objecting to
Special Train for Singers.
tXDNDOX. Sept. 24. Bavarian Social
ist newspapers are quoted by the Ex
change Telegraph Amsterdam corre
spondent as protesting against the ac
tion of the German Crown Prince in
inviting a number of singers from the
Munich opera to proceed to his head
quarters by a special train.
The newspaper critics characterize
this proceeding as scandalous at a
time when the railway congestion is
so great that even foodstuffs cannot
be transported. Two of the news
papers, it is added, have been sup
pressed for publishing the attacks
upon the Crown Prince.

Military Necessity Will Govern
Makeup of Divisions.
FORMER FOES ARE UNITED
3Ien of New Generation Bring To
gether Regiments Which Clashed
at Cold Harbor in Days of
War of 1861-05.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 14. Military
necessity will govern ' the consolida
tion of National !uard units under
the reorganization plans of the Army,
although wherever it is possible the
troops from each state will be kept
together. Secretary Baker announced
this policy today In connection with
protests, particularly from members of
the Missouri delegation in Congress,
against the consolidation of Missouri
and Kansas troops in one regiment.
Mr. Baker said that several similar
protests had been received. There are
some Guard regiments with years of
traditions behind them and special
efforts will be made to preserve these
organizations. They will be used as
the framework for expansions, it was
Indicated, newer regiments which are
merged into them losing their identity.
The War Secretary called attention
to an interesting situation at Camp
Mills, where the forty-Second or
"Rainbow" National Guard division
which he received yesterday, is mobi
lized. There are two old National
Guard regiments in that division, he
said, one from a Southern state and
one from the North. Both have long
records of service behind them includ
ing hard fighting In the Civil War.
They are now camped together and
compose one of the infantry brigades
of the Forty-Second Division. The last
time they met was at the battle of Cold
Harbor during the war between the
states.
Commenting on the work done by the
railroads in connection with the mobili
zation. Mr. Baker said figures now
available show that since early in Au
gust when large troop movements be
gan, the roads have transported 502,000
soldiers to various points without any
serious derangement of their regular
passenger schedules and at the same
time have absorbed an enormous addi
tional freight traffic brought on by
war conditions.
"This strikingly illustrates,' he
added, "the patriotic co-operation of
American railroads with the Govern
ment and also the tremendous capacity
of American railways."

ing. and started a study of those basic
figures which will largely determine
how much of an advance of wages is
Justified at this time.
As the Adjustment Board deals pri
marily with shipyard labor it plans
to hold another and perhaps several
conferences with representatives of the
metal trades union and to that end
Joseph Reed, of Portland, and Daniel
McKillock. of Seattle.- who left last
week when the Hurley conferences
closed unsuccessfully, have been tele
graphed to return to Washington. They
are expected tomorrow.
During the day A. J. Berres. the labor
member of the Adjustment Board ap
pointed by Samuel Gompers, sent a
telegram to Charles M. Bottomley. sec
rotary of the Metal Trades Council at
Portland, asking the striking steel
workers to go back to work and assur
ing them that the Adjustment Board
is now "on the job" and determined to
work out an equitable settlement of the
wage dispute.
Labor representatives from Portland
and Seattle, who conferred today with
the Adjustment Board and were made
familiar with the personal interest
shown by the President, expressed
great delight with the sudden turn In
affairs and express confidence that a
satisfactory solution will be worked
out in the near future.
The feeling also prevails among the
Portland shipbuilders that at last
something may be accomplished. It is
quite probable that within a day or
two one representative of the Portland
unions and one representative of the
Portland shipbuilders may be asked to
sit with the Adjustment Board, In ac
cordance with the plan approved Aug
ust 25, when the formation of the Ad
ustment Board was announced. If an
agreement can be had as to Portland,
settlement of the Seattle controversy
Is expected to follow immediately.
The Portland shipbuilders, who left
the city last week, had not gone
beyond New York and were called
back to be available if needed. To
morrow they have been invited to see
Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping
Board, but not on the question of
wages, as he has washed his hands of
that. The builders wish to settle the
question regarding contracts with the
Shipping Board before they return to
Oregon.
The labor representatives, greatly
elated by the day's turn of events, wilt
now remain In Washington until the
wage question is settled.

Objections of Green C. Love and I.
Gertz, protesting property owners, were
overruled by County Judge Tazwell,
after hearing the testimony of a num
ber of witnesses yesterday, and the pe
tition of the Peninsula Industrial Com
pany and several other petitioners for
the creation of Peninsula Drainage Dis
trict No. 2 was granted, which con
templates the reclamation of a large
acreage of land bordering on the Co
lumbia and Oregon sloughs. At the
same time he signed an order calling a
meeting of all interested property own
ers in the district affected to be held
at the Courthouse Wednesday, October
10, when the project will be further
developed.
It is proposed by the petitioners by
diking the overflowed lands to reclaim
the district embraced between the
Derby-street approach to the interstate
bridge and a point east of Switzler's
Lake and between the Columbia Slough
and the Oregon Slough. In opposing
the granting of the petition Mr. Love
based his objections on the grounds
that the project was not feasible and
for the further reason that he consid
ered the proposed assessments excessive.

Largely bat Fresh Supply la Prom

At the close of the first day's busi
ness yesterday, almost three tons of
fish had been sold to Portland house
wives at the Ad Club's public fish
market, 185 Third street. Among the
varieties of fish handled yesterday
were black cod, line; cod, groupers and
smelt. This store today will have a

Late yesterday afternoon City Com

STATE'S -INTERESTS FIRST
Closing of Gap in Direct Route From
Portland to Yamhill County Seat
Is TTrged, Leaving; Side Roads
to Later Date.
Far from protesting at the standi of
S. Benson, chairman of the State High
way Commission, In favor of a direct
route for the West Side Pacific High
way in place of the circuitous and
twisting one via Ballston, as approved
by the other two members of the Com
mission, a delegation of McMinnville
business men at a meeting in Portland
last night told Mr. Berson they were
with him first, last and in the mean
time, too.
They made it even stronger. Loca
tion of the highway via the roundabout
Ballston route was described as
"crazy," and it was openly asserted j
Lnw ine lime nas come wnen governor
WIthycombe. in simple justice to the
best highway Interests of the state,
should exercise his authority and take
a hand in the game.
Ballston Route Adopted.
By vote of 2 to 1 the Highway Com
mission a week ago adopted a report
of Commissioner Adams that the West
Side Pacific Highway from McMinn
ville south to Monmouth should be
routed via Dallas and Ballston.
This route goes by a roundabout
coorse through the foothills of the
Coast Mountains, and a country that
is very sparsely settled. Chairman
Benson, who voted an emphatic "no,"
maintained that the only logical route
for the highway between McMinnville
and Monmouth is via the towns of
Rickreall, McCoy and Amity, which,
besides being more direct than the
other route, leads through a thickly
settled country.
With the adoption by the two Com
missioners of the other route, Mr. Ben
son took the stand that the road so
selected was one of merely local and
not of state importance, and that,
therefore, the East Side trunk high
way, to serve the best interests of the
state, must be paved first.
detention Barks Benson.
It has been reported that McMinn
ville folk were up in arms against Mr.
Benson on account of his decision and
that they were going to demand a
showdown of him last night relative
to the paving question.
But the advance reports proved de
cidedly erroneous. Instead of demand
ing a showdown and change of attitude
from Mr. Benson, the delegation unani
mously urged him to stand absolutely
pat.
"We are with you because you are
right," they emphasized again and
again. "Your stand is absolutely to
the best interests of the state as a
whole."
In this they were strongly backed
by representatives from Polk and Ben
ton counties.
- State Senator C. L. Hawler, who is
Joint Senator from the two counties,
said that adoption of the Ballston route
had not been keeping faith with the
people of the state and of the coun
ties he represents. He said it was well
understood in the Legislature, when
road legislation was being prepared and
enacted, that the highway should go by
way of Rickreall, McCoy and Amity, as
the logical route for it, and that it was
so stated in the argument for the
6,000,000 bond issue in the official
pamphlet.
Location Is Opposed.
Joseph Hlrschberg, of Independence,
also in Polk County, in which Ballston
is situated, declared even more em
phatically that location of the main
west side . Pacific Highway via the
roundabout Ballston route could not be
justified by any argument.
"As lont as I have lived in Polk
County, and it has been a good, long
time." he said, "I must confess that I
have never been over the celebrated
road by way of Ballston, Salt River,
Salt Creek, or wherever it goes through
the foothills. It is entirely outside of
any main travel route.
"Why, I hardly even know where
Ballston is. except that it is out of the
way somewhere. I do know that Mr.
Benson has been over all these roads
in person, looking out for the interests
of the sta 3 and all Its people, not
those of individuals in this place or
that. He has our confidence and that
of the public."
McMinnville Delegation Prominent.
The delegation from McMinnville was
headed by State Senator W. T. Vinton
and included besides, W. W. Nichols,
County Judge of Yamhill County: M. F.
Corrigan. president of the McMinnville
Commercial Club; E. C. Apperson, F. W.
Fenton. W. T. Macy and G. S. Wright,
ail tubstan.ial men of that city.
Senator Vinton, opening the discus
sian at the meeting, which was held
in the Benson Hotel, emphasized the
desire of his delegation not to engage
in any controversy with Polk County.
"But." he declared, "we're here to
let the chairman of the State High
way Commission know that we are
back of him and approve of his stand
for building main trunk line roads by
the most direct" route, so they will
benefit the entire state and not some
local community only. We want to
assure Mr. Benson that the people of
Yamhill County are behind you in this
controversy. We indorse all your ac
tions." Prompt Action Vrged.
Senator Vinton said also, that the
delegation desired to urge action by
the commission to . close the gap be
tween Portland and McMinnville at the
earliest time. He asked that steps
be taken to build a good highway as
far as the Durham schoolhouse, 1.8
miles south of McMinnville. leaving
the question of the location oC the
route from there south to Monmouth
via Rickreall-McCoy-Amity, or via
Dallas-Ballston. to be settled; later.
