OBSF.QI'IF.S OF OREGON PIO
AEKIl TAKE PLACE.
NEW TORK. July 26. The Western
Union Telegraph Company was indicted
by a Federal grand Jury here today on
charges of having transmitted mes
sages by mail.
Two bills were filed against the
Western Union. One accuses the com
pany of having violated the Federal
law which forbids the establishment of
private express for the carriage of let
ters between points to which the Gov
ernment operates mail service.
Eight counts in this indictment cover
routes taking in New York and Boston,
New York and Philadelphia, New York
and Washington, and New York and
Baltimore.
The second indictment charges viola
tion of the Federal code which forbids
transmission of letters by such private
express routes. The bill involves the
company's alleged system of sending
night letters by private messengers in
stead of by wire.
The indictments are against the com
pany only, the officials not being
named. The company is expected te
enter a plea on Monday.
Federal attorneys alleged that 346,417
messages were carried by messengers
between August 2, 1917, and June 15.
1918. The maximum penalty that could
follow conviction would be fines ag
gregating $17,320,830.

NEW TORK. July 26. The speech of
Dr. Bernhard Dernburg at Cleveland in
May, 1915, in which he attempted to
justify the sinking of the Lusltanla
and which caused his expulsion from
the United States, was prepared by
Dr. William Bayard Hale, according to
a statement here tonight, by Deputy
State's Attorney-General Alfred Becker.
A copy reader for the information
service, Mr. Becker declared, testified
that the address was "edited and re
edited" by Hale in New York and tele
graphed to Dernburg the day it was
delivered.
Another revelation of the Attorney-
General's Inquiry Into German propa
ganda activities before America's entry
into the war included testimony of
Dr. Hale that Dr. Edward A. Ruinely,
arrested recently in connection with
the alleged German purchase of the
New York Evening Mail, was intro
duced to him in 1915 as "ho special
protege" of Dr. Dernburg.
The introduction, he said, wa made
by Dr. Dernburg.
Enemy Trading Act Violated.
The Attorney-General's office made
public code letters written to persons
in Germany by George Sylvester
Viereck. editor of the former pro-Ger
man Fatherland, now called Viereck'a
Weekly.
The letters were Intercepted before
the American declaration of war. Since
that time, according to Viereck's own
admission, he has sent mail to Germany
through neutral countries. This action.
according to authorities, is a violation
of the trading with the enemy act.
The Viereck code letters, some of
which were dated in 1916, apparently
were innocent communications on
family and personal subjects, but, ac
cording to Mr. Becker, they contained
information of political conditions in
this country.
The Attorney-General is in posses
sion of correspondence between Vier
eck and Hugo Schmidt, former German
financial agent in the United States
showing that the editor purchased in
1915 $12,000 worth r German war
bonds, half of which he later sold. He
told the officials that he owned $300
liberty bonds.
Key to Code Foind.
Mr. Becker declined to say whether
Viereck's letter since this country en
tered the war contained code messages.
Of the earlier communications, he said,
one series was so written that the first
word of each page when placed in order
formed a, sentence, the second word of
each page the second sentence, and so
on. to make up the message.
The letter, written in German and
dealing with the personal affairs of
the correspondent, began, when read
in code: "The situation is extraor
dinary," and gave a description of
American feeling toward Germany.
As late as last December, according
to Mr. Becker, Viereck mailed letters to
his father, using persons whom he ad
dressed in Stockholm and Copenhagen
to forward his messages.
The elder Viereck, Louis, was de
scribed by the Fatherland as its corre
spondent in Berlin. Viereck declared
today that his letters contained only
personal messages to his father. He
admitted that he had burned the orig
inals here.
All Present at Conference.
Testimony of Dr. Hale and of the
German information news service copy
reader, whose name the authorities
withheld tonight, linked the names o
Hale, Rumely and Viereck with Dern
burg. Dr. Heinrich. Albert, and othe
directors of Teuton propaganda, at
conferences in the Broadway building,
which also held the offices of the
Fatherland, the German informatio
service, Dernburg and Dr. Carl A.
Fuehr, author of German propaganda
works.
Viereck was always there, it was
testified, and sometimes Rumely was
present.
Before the alleged purchase of the
Mail, he said, there was talk of buy
ing another New York dally, a weekly
or a monthly magazine.
The German information service, ac
cording to the copy reader's testimony.
was personally supervised by Hale,
though he later always insisted on
secrecy regarding his activities.
The service was sent daily to many
American newspapers, and its general
trend, the witness said, was "to cause
alarm over the possibility of a Japan
ese invasion, and to urge the necessity
of intervention in Mexico."
Mechlenbnrg on Staff.
There were sub-editors and transla
tors, he stated, including Dr. Carl
Mechlenburg. one-time lecturer in the
universities of London and Dublin, who
later fled "to Mexico, and Professor
Harowltz, now in an American intern
ment camp.
Proofs of the "five-page news sheet,"
the copy reader testified, were sent in
variably to Matthew B. Claussen, pub
licity agent of the Hamburg-American
line. .

Samuel Cox.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. July 28
Samuel Cox, member of the class
of 1918 at Pacific University, was
recently commissioned as Ensign
in the United States Naval Re
serve. Mr. Cox enlisted on July
12, 1917, at Portland. Or., as second-class
seaman and, after three
months' training at Bremerton
Navy-yard, was sent to Harvard
radio school. There he met ex
ceptional success and was one of
150 men selected to attend the
Harvard naval cadet school.
After four months of military
training he received a commission
on June 1. Rear-Admiral Wood,
U. S. N., delivered the commence
ment address. Ensign Cox is at
present doing active duty, bqing
assigned to the United States
Ship Great Northern.

who had a record of 16 victories over

Another American near Villeneuve
also brought down a German.
Six of seven wooden steamers the G.
M. Standifer Construction. Corporation
is completing' for the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, they all being Ferria
ships, are to be fitted out by the Wil
lamette Iron & Steel Works, an under
standing having been reached between
the two organisations regarding the
work, which is to be started immedi
ately.
Since the 8800-ton steel steamer War
Baron was floated a year ago in March
the Willamette Iron & Steel Works has
been active in fitting out ships of that
class, but has not had to do with in
stalling machinery 1ft wooden ships for
the Government before. The twelfth
steel ship finished there, the Western
Light, got away from the plant yester
day 'afternoon for her official endur-
nce run to sea and return. She was
floated by the Northwest Steel Com
pany May 27. and there are two others
having machinery placed, the V estern
Maid and Western Comet.
Ship Work Is Banned.
In the year since the War Baron was
ent away the Willamette's force has
finished more than 90 big Scotch ma
rine boilers, in addition to all of the
installation work; building a number
of dlgestors for paper manufacturing
plants in the Northwest and turning
out all kinds of donkey engines and
other equipment for the spruce division.
To facilitate the fitting out of the
wooden fleet, which has been sublet by
the Standifer interests to speed up the
delivery of vessels, the Willamette will
have the use of the north half of the
lip at the Fifteenth-street Municipal
terminal. Adjoining that a slip is used
for the big steel ships which was
formerly occupied as a ferry slip. Two
more slips below are for the steel car
riers, so with that for wooden vessels,
there will be four at the plant.
River Plants Are Bnsy.
The Pacific Marine Iron Works, hav
ing a plant at the foot of East Main
street for engines and boilers, also a
fitting-out plant at the foot of East
Belmont street, was awarded contracts
by the Emergency Fleet Corporation to
fit out six ships, they being from the
Sommarstron yard, at Columbia City,
and that of the St. Helens Shipbuilding
Company, besides which vessels turned
out by the Supple-Ballln Shipbuilding
Corporation are fitted out there. The
Grant Smith-Porter Ship Company, at
St. Johns, is fitting out all of the ves
sels built there, also those constructed
at Aberdeen by the company.
The Coast Shipbuilding Company Is
fitting out its ships as fast as they ara
floated, and the Astoria plants of the
McEachern Ship Company, Wilson
Bros.' Shipbuilding Company and the
George F. Rodgers Shipbuilding Com
pany have their vessels fitted out at
the plant of the Astoria Marine Iron
Works. Emergency Fleet Corporation
officials feel that with the Willamette
organization "turning to" on wooden
vessels there will soon be a steady
stream of them leaving the river, two
or three each week.

AVith Queries of All Kinds Re

Many and varied are the queries
hich Portland merchants send to the
Council of Defense relative to the one-

to the new order of things has left
many a grocer stranded high on the

such as what to do with the surplus

To this last the Council of Defense
did not bid the merchant do the obvi
ous thing and summon certain Email
boys of the neighborhood, but debated
the situation seriously and reached the
decision that ice cream may be deliv
ered without extra charge on sick calls
but that husky folk ha-ha-ing on the
front veranda must pay messenger fees
for the extra delivery.
Concerning messenger charges for
second deliveries many merchants be
came curious, having had little occa

long held by them by a German named
Von Flack, who obtained possession by
means which the colonists described to
the Argentinian Minister of the Interior
as illegal. Kighting ensued when Von
Flack brought Chilean soldiers to eject
the colonists by force.
The majority of the settlers ejected

der Community Dock Plan.
Centralization ot more river vessels
t Ash-street dock, which was leased a
week ago by The Dalles-Columbia line,
is to be made through the shifting of
the Kellogg Transportation Company
from the Washington-street dock,
which is to take place Wednesday, and
the steamer Joseph Kellogg will leave
from there on her first trip Thursday.
The steamer La Center, which plies to
Lewis River points and has occupied
Washington-street dock with the Kel
logg, will also berth at Ash street, they
to have the eouth end of the dock.
The plan of The Dalles-Columbia in
terests in acquiring the property was
to draw other lines, there being much
more space than is required by them.
The same idea was advanced to the
Commission of Public Docks several
months ago, but It was not carried into
effect because it was thought best to
leave euch an arrangement to the
steamboat operators. With the Harklns
line operating all of its vessels from
Aider-street dock, those to Astoria as
well as to Camas and .Washougal, the
sternwbeelers are now assembled at
fewer points than before.
SEASON BCSY FOR DREDGES
Port Cnable to Take All Jobs and
' Keep Up Channel Maintenance.
Dredging and filling proposals con
tinue to pile up at the office of the
Port of Portland Commission, more re
quests being on file for the services of
the digging machines than can be met,
the commissioners holding that since
the river has fallen again to less than
a 10-foot stage it Is imperative that
channel operations be resumed so that
sediment brought by the Summer high
wave can be removed. There are no
extensive deposits of the material, only
a few places showing any effect of the
high water, but the Port wishes to keep
the 30-foot road to the sea free to the
projected depth. ,
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has Joined with the Pacific Marine Iron
Works In an application for dredging i

That a cigar-shaped lograft. which

being apprised of the fact. The steamer
was said to be three miles south of the
