SIX-YEAR SERVICE CLOSED
Summary of Volume of Work in Of
fice of Special Assistant to At-
torncy-General Made Public.
PEATTLE, Wash., May 14. (Special.)
Clarence L. 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.
Tomorrow Mr. Realties will turn over
all unfinished business in hie hands to
United States Uistrict Attorney Robert
C. Saunders, and thus formally bring
his tenure of office to a close. 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.

ant-Commander Read, "to make only a
brief stop at Halifax and continue our
flight, reaching Trepassey this evening,
by taking advantage of the moonlight
night. 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

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

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.:- ' -

The NC designation stands for navy

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.

Robert G. Henaerson, demanding pay
ment of $250 on the penalty of expos
ing alleged relations between Hender
son and Mrs. McReynolds and mailing
love letters to Mrs. Henderson, the let
ter itself was not in evidence.
The questions concerning the letter
were asked over the objection of At
torney Joseph Page, representing Mc
Reynolds, but Attorney John' C. McCue
said the letter was now beyond his
reach, but that he had asked Martin to
testify concerning the letter to im
peach testimony of Henderson the day
prior to the effect that he had written
no such letter.

terday and the defense begun after
a motion for a non-suit had been ar

Pauline .Matcher, a pretty girl em
ployed in the Rentner candy shop, was
first witness for the defense. She de

to Mrs. McReynolds had been virtually
the same to nearly all the girls in the
shop and that they had not been in
sulting in any way. She said she had
gone to supper three times with Rent

and that only one of those times did
she believe Rentner took Mrs. Mc

that it was around Christmas that the
gift in dispute had been given and
that It was Rentner's custom to give
all the girls working for him $5 each
for Christmas presents. She said that
Mrs. McReynolds begged Rentner to
give her something to wear, saying
she needed clothes badly.
Miss Matcher asserted she had often
heard Mrs. McReynolds maintain that
she was illtreated at home, that her
husband abused her and did not give
her enough clothing. The witness de
clared that the married woman had
made virtually all the advances in the
alleged courtship of Rentner. The can
dy man is 68 years old, Mrs. McRey
