THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1019. SENATOR JONES' AID ASKED FOR SOLDIER Grays Harbor Comes to De fense of Lonnie Edwards. TEN-YEAR SENTENCE GIVEN Theft of AVine From Barn in Bel gium Is Offense Abolition of Courts-Martial Recommended. HOQUIAM, Wash., July 28. (Spe cial.) Exposure of what he termed a "horrible miscarriage of justice in army circles" was made today oy Hon. Alex Poison, head of the 1'olson Logging company and widely known through out the northwest, when, acting as presiding officer at the luncheon given in honor of the United States Senator Wesley L. Jones by the Hoquiam Com mercial club, he read a report from Attorney W. H. Abel of Montesano con cerning the court-martial and sentence of Lonnie Edwards of Montesano. Ac cording to Attorney Abel's letter, Ed wards, who served with company C, 347th M. G. B.-M., 91s"t division, is now serving 10 years at Fort Leavenworth federal prison, having been found guil . ty by court-martial in France of the theft of wine in a barn in Belgium. Owner Is Recompensed. Edwards, it is stated, was attached to a company which was billeted in a ' barn in Belgium after the signing of the armistice. The Belgian owner had hidden a quantity of. wine in the hay, and this was discovered by the men during the night. They extracted 20 or 25 bottles and drank the contents. When the owner discovered this he complained to the officers. The of fenders recompensed the Belgian fully for his loss, and he refused to prose cute, but the major in command of the battalion insisted on court-martial proceedings, and prosecuted Edwards and his companions to the limit, a sen tence of ten years being meted out. The report read by Mr. Poison says: rhis voung man was raised in Alon tesano. His parents are dead. He bears an excellent reputation. I understand that every man in his company has petitioned for the release of Edwards and also Ginder, his companion. "These men were up at the front number of times and were under fire often, and we hear that Kdwards, while engaged in carrying ammunition up to the front, had his horse shot from un der him, but nevertheless carried on." Senator Asked to Aid. Addressing himself to Senator Jones, Mr. Poison said: "We of Grays Harbor county who know Edwards and have known him all these years believe the tacts as stated by Mr. Abel to be correct, and we ask you to interest yourself in re lieving Edwards of this unjust and severe sentence. We want you, upon your return to Wash ington, to call upon the president and seek to have tiie executive take action to right this great wrong. 1 am calling on the Ho quiam Commercial club and the Aber deen Chamber of Commerce to demand that every United States senator and every congressman support in having a thorough investigation made into this case. We must not allow our youth to have their ideals of a great republic tarnished to the extent where they will figure that the u nited fetates repays its fighting men with a brand of 'crim inal for trivial offenses. "We do not want the president and the war deprtment to misunderstand us in this petition. We are not asking for clemency for a son of the countv We are demanding justice for an Amer ican who proved himself worthy of the name, and of just tne kind that made it possible for us to enjoy our liberty today." Mr. Poison concluded by suggesting that the government pass a law abol ishirig courts-martral by officers, re placing this system by providing for jury composed of men of equal rank with the man on trial. portant litigation, yesterday in police court. About four years ago "Bounce. the family pet of the R. W. Anderson ousehold, wandered away. For four ears the family has mourned the pass- ng of "Bounce" and has yearned for his homecoming. Two weeks ago a member of the An- erson family saw a cat in the grocery tore of Fred Mason. The Anderson clan at once decided he was their long- lost "Bounce." They demanded the re- urn of the cat, but the Mason family refused to give up their pet. Mrs. Anderson then procured a earch warrant, alleging Mr. Mason was hiding their cat. The Andersons and Masons and a veterinary or two and "Bounce" were all before Judge Kossman yesterday The Andersons produced photographs taken in 1913 in an effort to identify he Mason cat as their own. The Masons, with the aid of a veterinary. howed that the cat they owned had been treated for ailments before the cat could have wandered away from the Mason home. Nor did "Bounce" appear to be In the east interested when Judge Rossman decreed him to be the property of the Masons. Maybe he will wander over the Anderson home to live out one or more of his nine lives, suggested the court as he dismissed the case. SEA ROVER.

MAINTENANCE CLAUSE ERRS State Must Assume Responsibility in Order to Get Government Appropriation. Proposed Trip Around World Started Four Years Ago Stopped by War. Skipper Enlists. SAN FRANCISCO, July 28. Francis Drake of Seattle, wno sailed into San Francisco bay four years ago in his little schooner Sir Francis on a pro posed trip around the world, tells how war in terf erred with his design and how recently his vessel was destroyed. From here Drake went through the Panama canal and made his way to Halifax, Nova Scotia. There the call of war took him to France. Although he was 50 years old and lame, he en- isted with the Canadians as an artif icer. Twice he was wounded. Follow ing the armistice Drake was discharged and returned to Halifax. He found his ittle vessel and with money saved and from his discharge, again outfitted and started upon his return. According to Drake his first ill-luck was in the Carribean sea, where a storm carried away his foremast. This was repaired at the canal to which he made his way. Then everything went well until off Salina Cruz, where a nothwester struck the Sir Francis, blew her sails to rib bons and carried her ashore a wreck. Drake cached his supplies and started to walk to Filina Cruz, 30 miles. He carried $1000 i; a belt. Half way he said Mexican bandits captured him, took his money, forced him to show them his cache and left him with no shoes and only a singlet for clothing. Making his way to Salina Cruz he was arrested by Mexicans who believed him an anti-Carranzista. They discovered he was an American and thrust him out. An American steamer then re fused to take him away and he had to beg food. The steamer Northland took him to San Pedro, Cal. He then came here by train, found money from friends and continued his way to Se attle last nicht. SOLDIERS' MP HELD UP iTTOEXEY-GEXERAL RULES AO EDUCATION" MONEY READY. Payments of Claims Before End of Year Will Necessitate Session of Emergency Board. SHE HAD SUFFERED SINCE CHILDHOOD Big 'Bounce" Enjoys Spirited Day in Police Court. Legal Battle for Ilia Ownrrnhip Arouses but Languid Interest. SALEM, Or., July 28. (Special.) Before any claims for administration of the soldiers', sailors' and marines educational aid bill can be audited by the secretary of state, prior to January 1, l'J'20, it will be necessary for the state emergency board to meet, ac cording to an opinion given by Attorney-General Brown today at the request of Deputy Secretary of State Sam Jvozer. The bill, as enacted at the last ses sion of the legislature, provides for an appropriation equal to two-tenths of one mill for each dollar of taxable property in the state. This amount, based on the valuations for 1919, will approximate $200,000. Under the opin ion of the attorney-general any millage tax levy shall be available for the pur pose for which it is intended on and after January 1 of each year. This means that the money can be made available on January 1 instead of waiting until the tax is actually received by the state treasurer. The attorney-general holds that the edu cational aid bill comes within the scope of millage tax enactments of 1915 and 1917. He also holds that because the money to be derived from this source cannot be made available before Janu ary 1, warrants in payment of claims cannot be issued until that time by the secretary of state. Several other legal questions con nected with the soldiers', sailors' and marines' educational aid act are now before the attorney-general for interpretation. SALEM, Or., July 28. (Special.) An amendment correcting the main tenance clause in the Roosevelt high way bill and other legislation passed by the voters of Oregon at the special election held on June 3, is said to be slated for consideration "in the event Governor Olcott yields to the requests for a special session of the state legis lature to ratify the woman's suffrage amendment to the federal constltu tion. according to word brought to the capitol today. At the time the Roosevelt highway measure was approved by the voters last June, it contained a clause to the effect that the road should be main tained at government expense. Copies if the results of the ballot and the measure were later sent to Oregon's delegation in the United States con gress, and at a subsequent conference in Washington, it was ascertained that the government would refuse to match the $2,500,000 authorized under the provision of the local enactment until such time a the maintenance clause was so amended that the state would assume full responsibility for the road in the future. Special trillion 1'nvorrd. Under the governme t road aid bill states receiveing feder-.l funds for con struction of highways must provide for maintenance, and in this the Oregon legislation is defective. Because of the fact the Oregon legislature does not assemble until 1921. the legislators from those counties most interested in the Roosevelt highway project are said to be anxious for a special session and reports reaching here todey indicate they are organizing with a view of joining the suffragists in their cam paign to call the lawmakers together at an early date. These legislators charge that because of the defect in the maintenance clause, actual work on the high way will be unnecessarily delayed unless a remedy Is forthcom ing at a special sesion instead of wait ing for the regular assembly nearly two years hence. It was partly because of the danger of an exteneded session and considera tion of such legislation not connected with hatification of the womn's suf fage amendment that Governor Olcott, in his recent answer to a delegaiton of women from Portland, wade it plain that he would not assemble the law makers unless it was agreed that they would waive their salary and per diem and con fine their work to consideing the amendment at issue. Another con dition upon which the executive said he would convene the legislators was that they personally request such a session and thereby evidence a sincere desire to pass the ratification. SeNHlon Is Costly. A special session of the legislature called by ex-Governor Frank V. Ben son to pass a bill appropriating money with whicht to maintain and improve state institutions and correct errors in several laws to the interests of the state lasted two days and cost the taxpayers fore than $5000. Only one request to call a special session of the legislature had been received by the governor tonight, this coming from Representative Eugene Smith, of Multnomah county. Eastern Oregon men here today haid sentiment in the section is adverse to calling a special session and that few. of the legislators would respond unless paid the salary and per d iem allowed by statute. Local officials are watching with consireable interest the attitude of the coast legislators, for it is known that they favor the session and will work to that end.

LaVein. who lives at 6049 6th Ave. X. W., Seattle. the other day. "Up to the time I commenced taking Tanlac," she continued, "I had been in bad health ever since I was a child. I was unable to digest my food prop erly, and every time I ate anything I would suffer from indigestion after-! wards. Nothing I ate seemed to do, me a particle of good, or give me any strength at all.

For over a month I was hard ly able to move. I would often have raging headaches that would almost kill me, and I was so nervous that I would lie in bed night after night and not sleep a wink. "That is the condition I was in when I began taking Tanlac, and I had about come to the conclusion that I wou Id never find a medicine that would do me any good.
