Terms of G. W. Phelps, In Sixth, F.

pire; Iilttlefield May Run.
The voters of Multnomah County,
which constitutes the Fourth Judicial
District, next year will elect three Cir
cuit Judges. Successors will be chosen
for Judges Morrow, Stapleton and Gan
tenbein. Of the three to be elected
two will serve for six years. The terms
of Judges Morrow and Stapleton, who I
"was appointed to complete the unex
pired term of Judge Davis, will expire
In January, 1S13.
The term for which Judge Ganten
bein originally was elected did not ex
pire until January, 1921, but his action
in resigning and subsequently return
ing to the bench after his successor.
Judge Littlefield. had been appointed
by the Governor and then stepped aside
for Judge Gantenbein, shortened his
term two years. Consequently a suc
cessor to Judge Gantenbein will be
elected for the short term of two years.
Judges Morrow and Stapleton will
be candidates for re-election, as will
also Judge Gantenbein, if he is not in
the meantime summoned for military
service under his commission as
Colonel in the Reserve Corps. The in
dications are that neither of the three
judges now serving will be without an
opponent in the- primary nominating
election.
Although none has authorized the an
nouncement, gossip has it that there
will be at least three other contenders
for judicial honors. The list of possi
bilities, which is admittedly incomplete
nt this writing, includes It. R. Giltner,
ftate Senator Arthur W. Orton and W.
M. Davis. Neither definitely has decid
ed for which of tho three judgeships
lie will aspire.
Already friends of Judge E. "V. Lit
tlcfield. who kept his word with the"
Governor and stepped aside for the re
turn of Judge Gantenbein, are bring
ing considerable pressure to induce him
to oppose Judge Gantenbein in the pri
mary election. It is considered more
than probable that Judge Littlefield
will enter the primaries.
Outside of Multnomah County, three
other Circuit Judges will be elected in
next year's election. Successors will
be chosen for Gilbert W. Phelps in the
Sixth Judicial District; Fred XV. Wil
son, who is completing the term of the
late W. L. Bradshaw, in the Seventh
District, and Gustav Anderson, in the
Eighth District.
With the single exception of II. H.
DeArmond, of Deschutes County, the
06 District Attorneys of the state now
in office will hold over for another two
years. Mr. DeArmond's term expires
In January, 1S19, and his successor
will be chosen in the primary and gen
eral elections next year. The office
lie Id by Mr. DeArmond pays an annual
salary of $1000.
Before he leaves for "Washington,
probably next week, it is understood
that United States Senator McNary will
resign as chairman of the Republican
Mate central committee. In that event
a. meeting of the committee likely will
be called some time next month to elect

be no occasion for the committee to

District Attorney of Clatsop County,
was yesterday called as a character
witness for Hannes F. Hattula, an ed
ucated Finn, of Astoria, who is on trial
before United States Judge Wolverton
on a charge of perjury. The charge
against Hattula is based on an affi
davit to which he subscribed when he
applied for citizenship papers several
months ago and involves his alleged
disloyalty to the United States.
The Government contends tnat Hat
tula perjured himself when he swore
that he was attached to the United
States Constitution and afterward a
serted that he would not take up arms
in defense of the country if assailed by
a foreign foe. On cross-examination
yesterday, Hattula said ho was opposed
to all use of armed force, either in a
war of conquest or for the suppression
of riots, but said he would, as a citi
zen, take up arms for the United States
if his liberty and security of his life
and property were attacked by an en
emy country.
Introduction of testimony In the case
was completed yesterday and the clos
ing arguments, limited to 45 minutes
on each side, will be made this morn

FUEL WASTE IS DEPLORED
Traveler Says "Wood Burned on

VANCOUVER. Wash.. Kov. 16. (Spe
cial.) That the Government should
take steps to stop the sawmills-of the
Pacific Coast from burning as rubbish
thousands and thousands of cords of
slabwood and edgings, is the opinion
of W. A. Rusco, a traveling theatrical
agent who lives in Detroit.
Mr. Rusco was here today after a
trip around Puget Sound. He said he
noticed that in many Sound towns fine
slabs and edgings were being burned
out on dumps and in burners, when
poor people would be glad to get the
wood.
At Astoria a man told him the mill
company charged him $6.50 a cord for
slabwood and that they are burning
large quantities of wood whirji he
would be glad to haul away, but the
company of course would not give him
permission to do so.
British Labor Organizations Report
ed Holding: Fast to Ideals
and Confident Sacrifices
Are Not in Vain.
BUFFALO. N. T.. Nov. 16. A plea
from the farm for closer co-operation
with other branches of the Nation's In
dustries to the end that victory over
autocracy might be sooner achieved and
reports from two great labor organiza
tions in the British Empire stating that
union labor there still faces the enemy
determined and confident of victory
brought enthusiastic cheers from the
delegates attending today's session of
the 37th annual convention ot the
American Federation of Labor. It was
another day devoted entirely to ora
tory, but the delegates appeared will
ing to defer the heavy work of the
convention to go on with the epeech-
maklng.
The farmers were represented by A
C. Townley. president of the Farmers'
Nonpartisan League, and L. V. Strayer,
second vice-president of the National
Farmers' Congress. Emanuel Kovelski,
of Rochester, reported on the last an
nual convention of the Canadian Trades
and Labor Council, and John Golden,
president of the United Textile Work
ers, and James Lord, president of the
mining department of the r ederation.
reported on the meeting of the British
trades union congress and the allied
labor conference.
British Labor Is Loyal.
"We found," said Mr. Golden, "a peo
ple who have held fast to their ideals.
confident that their sacrifices have not
been in vain. Union labor in Great
Britain believes that when it is all
ended, the gates to greater liberties,
greater lives and an enduring de
mocracy will be opened through the
world.
'We were assured from what we
heard and saw," he continued, "that no
matter what the cost in suffering, the
armies and the peoples of the allied
countries are going on to a victorious
conclusion, a victory that will mean the
beginning of the end of militarism the
world over."
The committees spent another busy
day. Two resolutions having to do
with the Federation's close relations
with the Federal Government on war
work are understood to be giving the
Federation leaders some concern. Either
one of them, it is said, is likely to pre
cipitate sharp debate on the floor of
the convention.
One of the resolutions was introduced
by delegates representing tne Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers. The pre
amble declares that American labor is
loyal and determined to use its best
efforts to establish and maintain the
co-operation of all organized workers
to assist the Government to carry on
the war. It then states that a great
amount of the materials necessary for
Government work is being furnished by
the United States Steel Corporation and
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation for
work erected by or through firms who
are members of the National Erectors'
Association.
Steel Makers Obdurate.
"For the last 12 years." the resolu
tion continues, "the United States Steel
Corporation, the Bethlehem Steel Corpo
ration ana the National Erectors Asso
elation have steadfastly refused to
enter into an agreement or In any way
negotiate with our international umoi
in which 75 per cent of the men who
follow our trade are members."
'I he resolution then calls on the
Federation to take up the matter with
the Secretary of War, Secretary of the
jsavy and the Council of National De
fense.
The second resolution refers to Presi
dent Wilson's proclamation of March
4, 1917, which stated that all Govern
ment work should be performed on i
basic eiarht-hour day, with not less than
time and one-half for overtime. This
has been interpreted by certain Gov
ernment officials, the resolution states.
in such a way that many of the manu
facturers supplying the Government
jare working their employes more than
eignt nours.
The executive council is asked "to
call the matter to the attention of the
proper Government officials with a. view
or placing all Government supply con
tracts on an eignt-hour basis in com
pliance with our understanding of the
proclamation."
Some of the committees are ready to
report, and it is expected that they will
be heard from ot tomorrow's session.

Henry L. Corbett. state manager for
the. Red Cross, announced that 25 per
cent of all war funds contributed by
branches and by auxiliaries in the
branch territory might be obtained im
mediately as a nucleus of a fund to
establish headquarters, carry on relief
of dependents of soldiers and pur
chase supplies for the making of sur
gical bandages and hospital supplies.
These fund3 may be obtained by
branches on application to Mr. Corbett.
Furthermore, it was announced that all
auxiliaries later becoming branches
might obtain -5 per cent of their subscriptions.
If branches prefer they may keep
these funds on deposit at the Portland
Chapter, from which supplies will be
charged against them, but officials of
the Portland Chapter insisted that they
would prefer the funds to be drawn at

"Supplies must not be removed to
hemes," Mr. Lowengart told the branch
repreyentatlves. "Hospital supplies, in
cluding clothing 1 and bed linen, may
be worked on in auxiliaries that have
a regular meeting place, but under no
circumstances may surgical dressings
be made in any other than a room
used for no other purpose, and at least
only under the supervision of an in
structor to be sent from Portland. The
Instructor will tutor a class in manu
facturing the dressings. Gauze must
never be removed from this room. The
safety of a wounded man may depend
on this instruction being followed im

BIG MILL CRIPPLED
Sand Thrown Into Engine
Causse Shutdown of Plant.
GERMAN SPIES SUSPECTED
Report of Serious Trouble Made to
Governor Lister and Slate Coun
cil of Defense Mill Own
ers Are Alarmed.
TACOMA. Wash., Nov. 16. (Special.)
German spies, operating among the
mills and logging camps of Western
Washington In an effort to delay the
manufacture of spruce and fir lumber
for aircraft and shipbuilding plants, tied
up the St. Paul and Tacoma mill for 40
hours by throwing sand in the engine
propelling the machinery, according to
the Federal officers.
The St. Paul Company Is getting out
Government orders for aircraft and
shipbuilding purposes, and it is thought
the plot was the work of German propa
gandists. The attack on the St. Paul
plant was made public, the Federal
officers said, in order to warn other
lmhr mnnufaeturers to be on gunrd.
Rrport of the trouble at the mill was
made to Governor Lister and also to
the state council of defense.
Lumbermen hive asked immediate
action for fear other mills may bo vic
tims of similar attacks.
Major Everett E. Griges admitted
that the St. Paul mill had been the vic
tim of plotters and had been forced to
close operations for two days.
"It happened last Monday morning at
2 o'clock. " said Major Urigss. "Wo
found sand had been deliberately
thrown into the main bearing of the bis;
Corliss engine that drive the plant.
As a result, the mill was shut down for
two days.
"There has been no trouble among
the men employed at the mill, and there
is no reason to suspect any of them.
That a spy did the work is certain, as
