JORDAN WIFE COMPLAINS
Eugene Gerard Accus-ed of Threat
ening Iives of Family.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 19. (Special.')
On a charge of threatening to kill his
wife and children, Eugene Gerard, of
Jordan, was arrested yesterday and
placed In the County Jail here. His
trial has been set for Monday.
Mrs. Gerard asserts that last Tues
day her husband struck her and
knocked her down and' threatened her
until she took the two youngest of
their three children and fled to the
house of John Bender, a neighbor.
Wednesday morning, she says, Mr. and
Mrs. Bender accompanied her when she
returned to her home to get her clothes
and Gerard is said to have met the
party with a corn knife. He drew a
line across the road and announced he
would kill the first person who crossed
it.
STRIKE-END PLAN HELD UP
(Continued From First Pafre.
belief in the loyalty of employers and
employes and expressed the belief that
the situation here will work out satis
factorily. The statement is as follows:
"The members of the labor adjust
ment board have been conscious during
their stay in Portland of an increasing
willingness to co-operate on the part
both of employers and employes. Re
lying upon this spirit of co-operation,
they have concluded their labors here
by recommending a plan of settlement,
t'ntil this plan has been presented to
the wage-earners chiefly concerned
they cannot discuss its details. They
can only say that they confidently be
lieve that, if accepted, it will not only
end the present strike, but lead to
t hose better relations between employ
ers and employes in the shipyards of
the city upon which, to mention only
the material aspect, the number of
ships produced so vitally depends.
l.vyaHy Xot Questioned.
"In urging the acceptance of their
plan, the Boa rd members cannot de
clare with too great emphasis that
every day's delay In the construction of
the ships now on the ways in Portland
yards tends to lessen otir efficiency in
the conduct of the war and in that way
to aid the enemy. It appreciates the
evidences of loyalty and patriotism dis
played both by employers and em
ployes during i ts hea rings. Tt believes
that the failure of this spirit of loyalty
and patriotism to result in the uninter
rupted operation of the shipyards has
been due to no deliberate purpose on
either side, but to difficulties in the
situation which neither side seemed
able to control.
"In a time of peace, interrupting in
dustry to attempt to settle these diffi
culties would be accepted as a matter
of course, but in a time of war a dif
ferent attitude must be developed. The
interests of the Government 'must be
recognized as paramount. Just as our
boys have disregarded their personal
inclinations to respond to the draft
law, so employers and employes must
sacrifice their personal interests in re
sponse to their country's call for their
services. . If both sides will approach
their differences dominated by this
spirit, even the most complicated labor
issues will prove susceptible of settle
ment. StrlKea Held Inexcusable.
"The board has been created to speak
the final determining word when ship
building employers and employes can
not adjust their differences themselves,
liefore it came into existence an in
terruption of the shipbuilding industry
was perhaps justifiable; since it has
been cieated and since it has heen de
voting itself assiduously to its task
there is no longer an adequate excuse
for failure on the part of employers
and 'employes to co-operate with all
possible energy and loyalty in the car
rying out of the Government's ship
building programme.
"After learning to know and to like
the representative employers and labor
leaders of Portland, the board is re
luctant to have the impression gain
currency that there is les devotion to
the Government here than in other
parts of the country. The only way to
avoid this is for both sides to determine
to forget their differences, to resume
th production of ships and to leave to
th board the settlement of issues
which cannot otherwise be adjusted.
"Nothing would please the members
of the board better than to proceed at
once to an analysis of the facts brought
out in the hearings and to a decision
in reference to the wage scale in con
troversy. But the essential facts as to
the situation - in Portland constitute
only part of the evidence on which the
board must base its decision.
Outlook I" Hopefnl.
"As a National body it must consider
the relation between Portland and the,
other great shipbuilding centers, Se
attle and San Francisco. Really, satis
factory relations between employers
and employes cannot be re-established
in the shipyards of any of these cities
unless they are re-established in all of
them. It is, therefore, a duty which
the board owes not only to the Govern
ment, but to the employers and em
ployes of Portland, to study the issues
which have arisen in the other ship
building centers so that they may
make their decisions as to wages in all
three places conform to a uniform principle.
"Before leaving Portland, we wish to
express our appreciation of the many
courtesies extended by the citizens of
Portland and particularly to thank
thos who have taken part in the hear
ings for the good spirit which they
have shown. All, while presenting
forcefully and clearly their side of the
controversy, have displayed a willing
ness to give and take without bitter
ness or rancor, which augurs well for
the future. The board confidently ex
pects- that its decision, when finallv
arrived at, will be accepted and acted
upon loyally by both employers and em
ployes and that both will co-operate
with the examiner or ad luster in the
effort to maintain industrial peace."
MAJOR L. H. KNAPP DIES
VETERA X FAILS TO HALLlTnOJI
-API'E.NDIOTIS OPERATION.
Keeimentnl Quartermaster for Oregon
Troop Born in Portland Forty
elRht Tears Abo.
Unable to rally from an operation
for appendicitis, which was performed

Knapp, a veteran of the Oregon Na
tional Guard, died yesterday at his
home, 487 East Twenty-fourth street.
The funeral will be held Monday at

Major Knapp was born in this city
in 1S. He first joined the state
military forces in 18S7, enlisting- in
Company I, of the First Oregon In
fantry, as a private. He was promoted
step by step until, in 1893, he became
sergeant-major of the regiment,, the
highest non-commissioned office. The
following year he was commissioned as
a First Lieutenant and appointed reg
imental quartermaster by Adjutant
General Beebe.
For faithful and meritorious serv
ice in the Philippines during the

Knapp was recommended for promo
tion, and in 1900 he was made a Cap
tain. He was commissioned Major in

At the time of his death Major
Knapp was quartermaster for the
Third Oregon. He was prevented from
accepting a commission in the regular

Veterans. He is survived by a widow.
Mrs. Daisy B. Knapp, and a daughter,
Mrs. Chester H. Keogh. of Chicago.
3000 MEN RETURN SOUTH
Camp Lewis 'Weather Too Much for
California Boys.
' Three troop trains paslied through
Portland yesterday and three Thursday,
and were turned over to the Southern
pacific here for transportation to Linde
Vista, Cal., near Los Angeles, where
the 3000 men the trains carried are
bound. They came from Camp Lewis
at American Lake.
The six trains complete the move
ment. It is understood the troops are
men recently drafted from Southern
California, and the sudden change of
climate from that part of the country
to American Lake was decided to be
inimical to their health. It is supposed
this is the reason for the return of the
men for training in the south.

YOUNG MEN NEEDED
Senator Chamberlain Against
Age Limit Change.
BEST FITTED MUST FIGHT
Older Men Held Less Qualified for
Military Service and Should
Xot Be Taken Except
in Emergency.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (Special.)
No change in the age limit for drafted
men should be made at present, and if
it is made the ages should run from 18
to 25, as originally proposed, and not
from 21 to 40, as has been proposed
tentatively.
This is the opinion today of Senator
George E. Chamberlain, chairman of
the Senate committee on military af
fairs. "The younger men will make much
better soldiers." continued Senator
Chamberlain, 'a nd. with the younger
class made subject to the selective
law, the question of depe.ndents will
be avoided in a very large proportion
of cases. Not only are the older men
Ifss qualified for military service and
as a class less available, but the man
who has established his business, his
home and his family should not be
taken except in case of the most ur
gent necessity.
"I appreciate as fully as anyone can
the distaste of the people for sending
the flower of American youth to the
battle front, but war is war, and the
men best fitted to fight must be put
forward and the men best able to main
tain them at the front be kept at
home."

Debate Closed Shop.
J. Rosen, business agent of the Sail
ors' union, Third street, has ac
cepted the challenge issued by O. C.
Fenlason, of Raymond, Wash., to de
bate the question of the "closed" shop.
Mr. Fenlason said he was willing to
debate with William Mackenzie, of the
Metal Trades Council, or anyone else.
Mr. Mackenzie is too busy to accept.
Mr. Fenlason takes the position that
the "closed" shop is unfair to a large
number of men and women who have
to work, and that it would be decidedly
wrong for the plan to be adopted in
the United States. Arrangements for
the debate probably will be made in
a day or so.

Portland Man Declares That Ar
chitectural Fees and Interent
Should Be 92S51.S9.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 19. (Special.)
Edgar M. Lazarus, Portland architect,
yesterday filed by mail still another
amended and increased bill with Sec
retary Goodin, of the State Board of
Control, for architectural services on
the south wing of the receiving ward
at the State Hospital, which was con
structed about six years ago.
In a bill filed the other day he asked
for architectural fees and interest
amounting to 1966.99, in addition to
what he had first received. He stated
that the first estimate of the cost of
the building was $48,001, but at the re
cent meeting he raised this figure to
J58, 923.91, saying he based his raise on
figures furnished him by W. H. Mulvey,
bookkeeper at the State Hospital.
In the letter received by Mr. Goodin
today, Mr. Lazarus declares that he
misread Mr. Mulvey's figures, and that
they read $68,789.84. "The whole cost
of the building, he says, was $78,435.77,
but some of this was for furnishings,
which does not apply to the architect.
Under his amended bill he asks for
$2851.89 from the state.
