Booth, of Eugene, one of the state's leading men. today was named by Governor Wlthycombe. as State Highway Commissioner to succeed E. J. Adams, whose term expired lant Sun day. Kobert A. Booth Is hearliy Interested In lumber and other interesta at Eugene and other Oregon points, was one time candidate for United States fcenator on Republican ticket, and haa been widely noted for his charitable and philanthropic activities. He has been particularly active in his work for Wil lamette 1'nlversity of Salem, with which he haa been connected In an offi cial capacity for many years. In announcing the appointment gov ernor Wlthycombe expressed himself as highly pleased with the personnel o: ho commission aa It now stanas. ane other two members are 3. Benson, of ortland. chairman, and n. L. 2 Dump- son, of Pendleton. Gaveraer Lauds Appointee. "I consider the state exceedingly fortunate In securing th services of man like Mr. Booth for this posi tion." said the Governor, after stating that Mr. Booth had accepted the ap pointment tendered to him a few days ago. "The Highway Commission Is one of the most Important bodies In tne state, and It Is constituted of splendid men who pave tne ngni vision. ui necessary fare and Integrity and In- uatrv. and know the needs of tne stan- and con see Its future. These men are bove any Influence politically. "Roads must be estnbllsned to meet the needs of the country, not for the present alone, but for the future, and I feel confident that with the exercise of a little patience we will have a mag nificent highway system that will be the pride of this generation and of generations to follow, because of the men who have accepted this trust They are not only business men of the high est Integrity, but men who will get the most out of the money for the state and there will be absolutely no chance for graft or misapplication of funds. They are accepting the service aa a patriotic duty to the stute. with out recompense other than the satisfac tion of service well performed. Politic ot Considered. "The appointment of Mr. Boo?h might not satisfy all sections political ly, but the appointment is not iiihih ior political reasons. It is made for the purpose of securing the best possible pystem of highways obtainable at the 'er.st expenditure of funds and with tho idea of serving the state in the largest possible manner. I am highly delighted that Mr. Booth has agreed to accept." Mr. Adams, whose term expired last Sunday, was selected as short - term member of the commission to serve a year when the original commission was appointed last Spring. the programme was announced as an aria, "Ernanl Involmi," from Verdi's "Ernanl." But instead of opening with the "Ernanl" number. Miss Hempel sang suddenly, 'The Star-Spangled Banner," and she sang it heartily, but with a slight trace of a foreign accent. The audience at once looked upon Miss Hempel as a friend, and broke into de lighted applause. Miss Hempel's concert may be de scribed largely as a charming ballad one. Jt contained love songs that were gems. Tet the most florid and beauti ful parts of her programme, in which she showed the amazing flexibility of her golden soprano, consisted of the "Krn'anl" number and the aria "Theme and Variations" (Proch). The latter number fairly bristles with vocal dif ficulties, including trills and dazzling runs, and Mr. Eisler. the accompanist, eaid afterwards that In the Proch num ber Miss Hempel sang up to E-flat In ale The note was beautifully taken, and It had a real silver ring of marvel lous clarity. Most of Miss Hempel's songs were sung in English, and her fine diction was a delight in nearly every one of these songs. "Come, Beloved" (Handel), and "Phyllis Has Such Charming traces" were sung in tones of caress ing beauty, and with haunting tender ness. -The Koae Has Charmed the Nightingale" and the negro lullaby by t-iuisam, "My Curly-Headed Baby, were so finely sung that the audience wished a repetition of each number, bu the singer was not so minded. Miss Hempel showed courage in eing. lng the famous "Blue Danube Waltz," so suggestive or Strauss, and arranged ior voice oy Miss Hempel, but, with ad mirable tact, she sang it in Italian in stead of its native tongue. Miss Hem pel's extra numbers were: "Two Irish folk bonus," "Dixie." "Long, Long Ago' and "Home. Sweet Home." Miss Hem pel sang the latter In true prima donna style, but the selection did not suit her voice. Her command of what singers can - nan voice is superb. Mr. Elsler was a sympathetic accom panist, and also a self-effacing one. He Played modestly and welL Aa a piano soloist he gave two numbers which were enort and delightful.

T was with considerable curiosity and also expectation that a large audi ence met last night In the Hcillg The ater to hear Miss Frieda Hempel, a prima donna soprano of the Metropoli tan Opera Company, sing. Miss Hempel justified the nice things that were said about her in advance. She is a skillful singer and actress, and lost no time In putting her audience Into good humor. Miss Hempel makes no concealment of the fact that she was born In Ciermany. Her first number on Tn a running pistol fight staged In the North End about 4 o'clock yester day morning. Officer M Bernard, a new member of the Portland police force, was wounded in the left arm by Bert Davis, a colored porter, who has police record in Washington and Brit ish Columbia. The shooting followed an attempt to arrest Davis in a room ing-house at Fifth and Davis streets. Davis, wearing a white handkerchief as a mask, was seen by Special Oflicer Bowers to enter the lodging-house, and Olticers Bernard and Johnstone were summoned to. the scene. Johnstone, veteran on the force, stationed Bowers on the Davis-street side and Bernard on the Fifth-street side of the build ing, while he entered the house. The negro saw the officer approaching and ran out in the street, firing his re volver at the officers. The first shot barely missed Officer Johnstone's face. Davis ran into Officer Bernard and nred at him as he passed down the street, the bullet taking effect In the oQicer's arm. In his flight for liberty Davis ran into OMicera Powell and Murray, and shot at them twice without effect. He sought refuge in a building on Flanders street, known as the former home of the late "Dollar Bill." a negro charac ter of the North End. The officers closed in on Davis and he quickly sur rendered. ' Officer Bernard was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital, where it was found thnt a bone in his left arm had been shattered by the shot. He resides at 670 Borthwick street. He has a wife and four young children. Davis was taken to the City Jail, where charges of attempted burglary and assault with a dangerous weapon were placed against him. He will have a preliminary hearing before Municipal Judge Kossman this morning. 9 Warehouse Blaze Occurs After In surance, Payable to Fox, Is Said to Have Been Increased; De fendants Well Known.

Hearings In the cases of the 49 hotel and rooming-house proprietors whom the City Council decided on as unfit for licenses under the new licensing oral nance, were started yesterday afternoon by the City Council. The first session resulted in seven case being heard, of which one place was allowed a license, three were denied licenses and three were continued for the taking of fur ther testimony. The hearings will con tinue all day today, commencing at A. M. The Council chamber was tilled with policemen and lawyers and women and men proprietors and boarders in the houses in question. The Council took the cases in order and gave the persons who have been refused licensee a full opportunity to show that a mistake had been made. Only one license was granted after having once been refused. This was the license asked for by ictor Ander son for the Hotel Georglana at 11 Twelfth street. It was found In this case that the hotel formerly with bad name was taken over In January by Mr. Anderson and his wife and since then has been properly conducted. The Council felt that an injustice had been done in this case and accordingly grant' ed. the license by unanimous vote. In the cases in which licenses were denied policemen were presented and told of the proprietresses being women of the underworld and related the cir cumstances surrounding arrests In re cent months. At the outset of the hearing Mayor Baker announced that he was Interested only in the records and reputations of the places in question during the past six or seven months. OMAHA RAILROADER HERE Guy Asanas, of Union Pacific, Vis iting Portland Traffic Officials. Guy Adams, of Omaha, mail traffio manager for the Union Pacific system. Is In Portland, calling upon officials here. Mr. Adams has recently per formed a patriotic service through do nating 40 acres of his Summer home in Colorado to be used for a recupera tion camp for railroad men In the Army and Navy who have been incapacitated. By June 1 it is expected the camp will be fitted to receive 100 men and by January 1 it will be able to take care of 1000. As there are 80.000 rail road men in the Army and Navy and this number is constantly Increasing. the field for such a home is apparent Mr. Adams' Summer home is the Double Header ranch and la-two hours and a half by auto from Denver. building at Coburg, April 1, 191S. The grand Jury today also returned separate indictment charging Fox and Martin with the destruction of the glass factory building at that time for the purpose of defrauding insurance companies. Fox accepted $1800 from the insurance company in settlement of his claim. Fox was said to have had three pre vious fires in connection with which he had collected insurance. A resi dence occupied by Fox, near Eugene,, burned in 1913. Officers from the State Fire Marshal's office began investigating the day fol lowing the warehouse fire. In connec tion with their investigation they found the traces of incendiarism which re sulted in the second indictment of Fox and Martin for the glass factory fire. Before coming to Dane County Fox sustained fire losses, collecting insur ance at Everett and Belllngham, Wash. Martin is alleged to have actually set Are to the warehouses. Fox, his wife and six children were away from home at the time, having motored to Salem the day before. Shooting Threat Alleged. During the investigation of the facts surrounding the fire Martin was ar rested by the officers for alleged Inter ference with witnesses. It was charged that he had threatened to shoot Jack Rutledge and Lawrence Smith, both of Coburg, who were known to have been called to Eugene Ior examination. Martin gave bond in the sum of $2000 to keep the peace. The warehouse property, which was insured for $4500 and upon which the insurance was Increased to $55p0, ap pears on the Lane County assessment roll at a valuation of $250. Fox planted about 47 acres In pota toes last Summer. The bank of which Paine had been cashier loaned him $3790 on his crop and his horses. No effort appears to have been made to protect the bank in connection with the insurance, which was written by the Insurance department of the bank, and, it is alleged, in Fox" name upon Palne's suggestion. Attorney Collier Interested. Attorneys Hardy and Bryson said to night that Attorney John Collier, of Portland, has been very active in the case, which resulted in the indictment ot Paine and his associates. "Certain outside interests have been extraordinarily active and partisan in working up these indictments," Mr. Hardy said. "Datectives have been on the ground for weeks. Mr. Collier has been extensively employed in Oregon, Washington and California in arson cases In which Insurance companies were largely Interested. "The activities of these gentlemen in cases of this kind are always unaer the cloak of the State Fire Marshal' J office, and they attribute their employ ment, not to the insurance company In whose Interests they are working, but to either the county or the state, as the case may be." Attorney Bryson said that he hoped public opinion "will await develop ments and attempts that have been made to. create a public prejudice in advance will be unsuccessful." Many misleading stories, which are not in ac cordance with the facts, have been In circulation in Lane County, he added. defense announced that accepted Jurors would be tendered back to the Govern ment In groups of four. In questioning prospective jurors, the Government laid special stress on the question of their sympathies in the war. One of the Government s peremp tory challenges was In the case of Thomas W. Allison, a settlement worker of Chicago. He is the father of Brent Dow Allison, who has been known as a pacifist and who faced possible charges of desertion if he failed to appear at Camp Grant today as ordered by his draft board. The other peremptory challenge by the Government was in the case of Frank Martin, Chicago, who was ques tioned closely as to certain relatives who speak the German language. The question of the right to conduct strikes during war will form an im portant part of the defense, it was in dicated by George F. Vanderveer, chief counsel for the I. W. W., in questioning veniremen. "W'ould it take less evidence for you to return a verdict of guilty because the country is at war?' he asked one venireman. "Do you feel that all strikes should be suspended during the war?" Among other things the men are charged with encouraging strikes to hamper the manufacture of war mate rials. ; Opinions already formed as to the character of members of the I. W.

LAST SUNDAY THERE WERE INDIVIDUAL WANT ADS IN THE OREGONIAN'S . CLASSIFIED COLUMNS AMOUNTING TO A TOTAL OF 20,006 Agate Lines WITHOUT COUNTING CLASSIFICATION HEADS OR RULES Over one-half of these advertisements were not received at The Oregonian office until after 1 o'clock Saturday, and a large percentage of the ads reached The Oregonian office between the hours of 3 and 6 o'clock. Between the hours of 4:30 and 6 o'clock each Saturday The Oregonian office is so crowded with classified advertisers as to cause some delay to each advertiser and the numerous telephone trunk lines are so congested -with business that many persons are obliged to call several times in order to place their want ad. Probabl? 90 per cent of any errors that may occur in want ads in The Sunday Oregonian are due to this last-hour congestion. It is the desire of The Oregonian to render per fect service to its classified advertisers, but perfect service is impossible when hundreds of advertisers each week insist upon waiting until the last possible moment to bring in or telephone their ads. , If you are one of the "late ones," try telephoning or bringing in your ad before noon next- Saturday, and see how much more quickly and easily you can complete the transaction. Telephone Main 7070 or A 6095 and Ask for "Want Ads".
