Heames, special assistant to the United. States attorney-general, who has been in charge for the depart ment of justice of enforcements of war statutes in the - western district of Washineton, with offices in Seattle, since February, 1918, will sever his connection with the department tomor row, he announced today, to engage in the private practice of law in this city.

Mr. Reames' offices have been in the Cen tral building. He will leave them for a uite 1n the Hoge building, there to practice by himself. A summary-of the volume. of work In the office of the special assistant to the attorney-general during the stress of war days reveals for the first time to what .extent the machinery of the Kovernment in this city and section of the state was set In motion to thwart the work of enemy agents and spies; safeguard the giant Industrial plants engaged In war work, such as the Bhip yards, and prev'ent any Interference with the training of troops and sailoxs at Camp Lewis, Bremerton, the naval training station on tha University of "Washington campus. Fort Lawton and the forts on Puget sound, nineteen Hundred Caaea Investigated. During' the approximately 15 months that Mr. Reames has been in office some 1900 cases of .Vharges requiring investigation against alien, enemies have been handled. As a repulfc there were 329 arrests of alien enemies for violation of the proc lamation of the president, which pro hibited their presence in certain areas. Of this number, 93 persons were In terned far the duration of the war at Fort Douglas, Utah. The rest were re leased on parole and bond and required to report regularly to the United States marshal at Seattle and Tacoina. Evidence of tlie assistance given the : officers by.citizens is furnished In the statement that more than 3000 com plaints, charging violation of the es pionage .act, were presented and in vestigated. In 30 cases persons were Indicted by the federal grand Jury and brought to trial. Important Caaea Tried. The cases tried by Mr. Reames that attracted the most attention were thosa of the government against Hulet M. Wells. Sam Sadler. Morris Pass and Joe Pass; against V. F. Meade. Fr- k ."af fer, ISmil Hermann and W. lL Ivauff man. In all of these cases, with the excep tion of that against Kauffman, which is pending, convictions and sentences in the district court here have been confirmed by the United States circuit court of appeals at San Francisco. I shall not accept a further com mission from the government, said Mr. Reames today. "I have now been in the service for six years and am glad of the opportunity to engage in private practice. "During the war this district v was one of the most important in the Unit ed States because of the great amount of war materials produced here. The proximity of Camp Lewis and Bremer ton, with the many new problems aris ing there; the large number of alien enemies in the district and the espe cially large radical foreign population all combined to make the work very interesting and at times almost strenu ous. Patriotic Service Rendered. "Throughout it all I have had the loyal support -and co-operation of all state, federal and city officers. The splendid patriotic volunteer service rendered by the state council of de fense, the several county councils and the minute men combined to make it possible to enforce the law during very trying and unusual times." All other war officers of the depart ment of justice in the United States also will demobilize during this month and the unfinished work of these of ficers will be turned over to-the United States attorney of the respective dis tricts. Mr. Reames, a native son of the west, having been born in Oregon, en tered the government service by ac cepting a commission as United States District attorney for Oregon in June, 1913. At the conclusion of this four year term he was reappointed for an additional four years in June, 1917. In February, 1918, at the request of United States Attorney General Greg ory, he accepted a commission as spe cial assistant to the attorney-general to have charge during the war, of the enforcement of all war statutes, in cluding alien enemy laws and regula tions, the espionage act, the sabotage act, the selective service act and the law of sedition and treason. His main work in eSattle was to bring about lietween federal, state and city officers a co-operation looking toward better law enforcement.

This would have been quite pos sible if we had been able to make as early a start frorrt Chatham as we had hoped. However, minor engine trouble cropped out at the last moment and ourytleparture was delayed by the ne cessity of some slight repairs." Lieutenant-Commander Read said the flight had far exceeded his expecta tions. This ias due in great part to the "tail wind" which helped the NC-4 to make the quickest speed with the least consumption of fuel. The navy dirigible C-5 may also at tempt the long cross-ocean trip either tomorrow or next day. Rising from Montauk Point, Long Island, early to day, the big airship had passed Halifax before sunset and is expected to reach St. Johns, N. F.. before daylight tomor row. A decision as to the trans-Atlantic attempt will be made immedi ately on the receipt of her comman der's report of his arrival. The third seaplane of- the trans-Atlantic division, the NC-4, held up by engine trouble on the first leg of the Journey, caught up much of her lost distance today and was moored tonight beside the minelayer Baltimore at Hali fax. . . . t Flying; Craft Described. The navy department was keyed to high pitch today as the NC-4 and the C-5 were hurrying northward on- a favorable wind. Until a late hour it was not certain that the NC-1 and NC-3 would not also take wing during the day, starting the trans-oceanic dash. The navy department made public to day a detailed description of the NC boats in which it was stated that they were a "wholly original American' de velopment," the design having been in itiated in the fall of 1917 by Rear-Ad-miral David W. Taylor, chief construc tor of the navy. The plan for a trans Atlantic flight, it was said, originally was formed as a war measure to get these giant aircraft to the scene of sub marine operations, "had the German submarines gained the upper hand in 1918.:- ' - Craft Kalrlx Fast.

"We will join the seaplanes yet," said Lieutenant - Commander Coil as he stepped Into the basket and Ensign Campbell called to brother officers re maining at the station; "God be with us till we meet again." The C-5, driven by two 120-horse- power motors, each attached to a pro peller, is carrying fuel for a 1500-mile cruise. PONT A DEL GADO, Tuesday. May 13. (By the Associated Press.) Thi meteorological ships between the Azores and Newfoundland report a storm, moving over, the course of the American seaplane flight today, . but predict good weather for tomorrow with strong northwesterly winds. It is believed here that the seaplanes will start from Trepassey tomorrow. May 14. Destroyera to C.nide Flyera, The destroyers, which are stretched out at 50-mile intervals along thn course to guide and assist the flyers. will emit heavy black smoke the day of the flight and will burn flares and shoot star shells. at night. At no time will the seaplanes be more than 30 minutes' flying distance from a 'de stroyer. The planes will fly direct to Ponta del Gado and land in the bay. It they are unable to complete the jour ney, however, they will land at Horta, 150 miles from here, where the cruiser Columbia is stationed with supplies to facilitate the continuance of the flglht to Ponta del Gado. The planes will remain moored here overnight and will be overhauled if necessary before proceeding to Lis bon. Fourteen destroyers will be sta tioned between this port and Lisbon. Three already are in position, and the others will leave here tomorrow. RADIO RECORD ESTABLISHED Washington Talks With Flying Boat and Flashes Sews Broadcast. WASHINGTON, May 14. The navy department communicated with the sea plane NC-4 from Washington at 11:18 A. M. today, received a reply from Com mander Reed and had broadcasted to Europe and the west coast of the United States the plane's position in three minutes elapsed time. The com munication was accomplished without previous notice to any of the stations Involved. In connection with the announcement of the record established in radio com munication the navy department made public the details of the radio in stallation on the three seaplanes. Each of the planes is equipped with two transmitters, one of which is mounted on the deck of the plane near the stern and has as its main element a stream lino generator and accessory apparatus driven by the propeller. Although this complete set weighs only 45 pounds, it can be used between the plane shore stations for distances up to 250 nautical miles. ' She antennae used with this outfit is a single wire about 250 feel long, hang ing from the tail of the plane. Since it is driven by the propeller, this trans mitter may be only used for communi cation while the plane is in flight. It allows the flyers to sand messages from time to time to shore stations or ships at sea regarding the progress of the flight, these messages being re layed to the navy department. The second transmitter, which is used mainly for communication be tween planes and is limited to a radios of about 20 miles, is a combined tele phone and radio telegraph transmitter which operates on a small storage bat tery. The antennae are stretched on the upper planes, thus permitting communication while the machine is in flight or at rest with equal ease. This outfit Is used in telephoning be tween planes while in flight and en ables the division commander to direct the movements of the various units and keep constantly in touch with his ship commanders. The set is so arranged that either radio operators or the com manding officers themselves may com municate while the planes are In flight. Phone your want ads to The Orego- nlan. Main 7070. A 6035.
