GOVERNMENT IS CURSED
Blacksmith When Vl.1ted by Liberty
loa Committee Refuses to Bay
Bonds, Saying-. "To Hell Willi
Ton and the Government."
William Imdin, blacksmith and mi
chlnlst. naturalised American, received
a strong lesson In the primary princi
ple of loyalty yesterday when he was
lined 1500 and sentenced to scire SO
days In the City Jail for disorderly con
duct In resisting a committee of liberty
bond solicitors.
Despite a signed confession that he
waa sorry that be took a belligerent
attitude towards the committee that
called on him last Saturday and that
be now was ready to hare the com
mittee accept his subscription for some
liberty bonds, he car the impression
when closely examined by City Attor
ney LaRocb and Deputy City Attorney
Stadter that he was not In full accord
with the Goremment's war programme
and the sincerity of his patriotism wss
questioned.
"From the manner In which yon hare
answered qneatlons here It Is ertdent
to ma that yon did not mean what yon
said in your confession." said Municipal
Judge Rossman la Imposing- the One
and sentence. "Tour apology to the
committee and your promise to support
the Government In future seem to have
had a false ring to them. Ton have been
In thle country Ions; enough and have
been naturalised long enousb to under
stand fully why we are In this war.
The committee which called on yon In
reality was representing- the Govern
ment and was entitled to a respectful
hearing. It is regrettable that the
penalty cannot be made as severe as
when a soldier Is disrespectful to bis
higher officer."
Seateaeo la Applauded.
' Tn pronouncing the One and sentence
Judge Rossman wss applauded loudly.
The courtroom waa crowded with loyal
Americana and the hearty applause
was la approval of the Judgment of the
court.
George G. Bowen. captain of the com
mittee of solioltors who called on Isen
see Saturday afternoon, the first wit
ness to testify, said that the moment
be and two other members entered
licensee's office the blarksmlth-machla-1st
seemed to resent their presence and
flew Into a rage when asked to pur
chase a liberty bond. He said Isensee
assumed a haughty attitude and even
threatened violence.
"To hell with yon and the Govern
ment." is the arfswer the witnesa aald
Isensee gave when Importuned to in
est In a bond.
Mr. Bowen described the events that
followed and said that, from fear of
attack of violence. Isensee was over
powered and taken to the off Ire of
United States Attorney Haney. C W.
Jones, a member of the committee, cor
roborated Mr. Bowen's testimony and
on cross-examination by E. E. Heck
bert. attorney for Isensee. denied that
the defendant had been bandied
roughly.
SVeUttem Remark Heard.
George L. Rauch. an attorney, who
also was a member of the committee,
declared he clearly heard Isensee make
the seditions remark and unequivocally
reroeea to parcnas a liberty bond.
"When he beeame aeaant and started
to pick up a chair. It waa I who pointed
say umbrella at him and told him 1
would stick It tbrongh him If he re
peated To hell with you and your Gov
ernment." "
V. L Glfford and Deputy Sheriff C G.
Smith cave testimony In support of
that of other members of the commit
tee. Police Inspector Hellyer testified
that ho had accompanied two solicitors
to Isensee's place last Wednesday and
received discourteous treatment.
The public apology and retraction
signed by Isensee and submitted to the
snort Is aa follows:

c Cases Develop Almost Stmnltane
nsly In March, brut Precautions
Takes Preve Successful.
So skillfully did th medical division
of the Signal Corps perform in heading
off an epidemic of spinal meningitis
at the Corps quarters In Vancouver
that a report of the matter was made
public yesterday. Under ordinary cir
cumstances such matters ar not di
vulged to the public Signal Corps
headquarters stretched this rule, it was
stated, simply because relatives of
young men In the camp will be inter
ested in knowing the extreme measures
taken to safeguard the lives of the
boys. v .
Six cases of cerebro-spraal menin
gitis developed at Vancouver almost
simultaneously the middle of March,
but tn rough tne exercise or extreme
precautions spread of the contagion
was checked at once.
Rigid supervision and precautionary
measures taken appear from the report:
Those in tbo Immediate vicinity of
the developed cases were at once ex
amined; the tent, or barracks, from
which they came put under guard; the
larger untt the squadron put under
surveillance, and a strict quarantine
placed upon the entire camp. The
wool cantonment of many thousands
of men were examined individually
and their upper respiratory passages
t sprayed every 24 hours with material
known to be or value m sucn condi
tion a. The procedure was carried out
dally from th first appearance of the
dreaded disease until April 10, at which
time the danger point waa considered
to hav been passed."
MISS ISOM IS CHAMPIONED
State librarian Says Portland li
brarian Loyal to Nation. -
SALEM. Or, April IT.- (Special.)
Miss Cornelia Marvin, state librarian,
came warmly to the defense of Miss
Mary Frances Isom, Portland librarian,
last night, and declared Miss Isom's
loyalty stands unquestioned and that
she has made personal sacrifices to aid
her country that have even threatened
to be Injurious to - her health.
"Oregon has had a splendid record in
all library activities." declared Miss
Marvin," and its success has been due
largely to the work of Miss Isom. In
the first 11,900,000 drive for money
Oregon was well in the van. when
the state was- organized In the next
drive to seour books, Oregon, made a
record second to none and the success
of the work can be almost entirely
credited to Miss Isom. Every librarian
in the country knows her record, she
gave of her time and means and even
practiced personal economies which I
thought unwise in her state of health."
"The more her record Is examined
into the finer it will be found to be.
Her patriotism and loyalty can be chal
lenged in no manner."
