EDITOR OFFERS APOLOGY
Farmer Has Objectionable Matter
Printed, Defies Committee.
"X" Woman Involved.
MEDFORD. Or., Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) An article printed In a local
weekly paper September 18. credited
to the Jameston Journal, Jamestown.
New York, defending- Germany in at
tacking France, and intimating that
in fighting against the kaiser, the
United States "bet on the wrong
horse," caused the local post of the
American Legion, at a meeting- to
night to demand that the Y. M. C. A.
at once identify Miss Annie Dunder
dale, a Y. M. C. A. worker, quoted as
authority for the statements in the
article.
The article, according to the editor
of the paper, was presented by L.
Neidermeyer, a wealthy German
American farmer living near Jack
sonville. The editor explained he did
not want to publish the interview,
but as Mr. Neidermeyer controls a
majority of the stock of the paper he
felt obliged to do so.
Lesion Committee Calls.
A committee from the legion called
upon Mr. Neidermeyer today and de
manded an explanation. Mr. Neider
meyer maintained he was a loyal
American, had a son in the United
States army, but that he was op
posed to the legion for meddling in
. matters of this sort. If such tactics
were persisted in, he said he would
not allow his son to Join the organ
ization. The legion tonight passed resolu
tions condemning as un-American the
action of Neidermeyer, in submitting
the article and the local paper in
printing it and requesting the resig
nation of Mr. Neidermeyer as director
of a local bank and his resignation
from any other office he may hold.
The resolutions were presented to the
Jackson County Businessmen's asso
ciation at their meeting tonight and
were immediately and unanimously
indorsed by that organization.
Merchants Adopt Resolutions.
The merchants went farther and
drew up resolutions of their own, de
claring as long as the paper in ques
tion continued to print such articles
the association would withhold all
advertising endorsements and any
merchant who advertised in it -would
be considered as un-American as the
paper.
NORTH IS NOW COLONEL
PORTL.VXDEK IS COMMISSIONED
IX OREGON XATIOXAL, GUARD.
Officer Returns to Former Status
on Cnasslgned 1.1st Error in
Qualification Corrected.
Issuance of a commission to Colonel
William C. North of Portland as colo
nel of the Third Oregon infantry.
National Guard, was announced . in
"Washington, D. C, yesterday by
Major-General Carter, chief of the
bureau of militia affairs, and the
papers are expected to arrive here
before the end of the week. The ef
fect of the commission will be to
place Colonel North in his former
status on the unassigned list of of
ficers and return him to his place on
the general staff, subject to call at
any time by the state or the war
department.
Correction of an error that was
made when Colonel North and a num
ber of other officers were disqualified
because of non-compliance with para
graph 74 of the national guard act, is
seen in the granting of the commis
sion to Colonel North. The paragraph
in question relates to examinations,
and as there was no regular national
guard at that time, the provision
could not be followed. This was not
explained fully at the time the dis
qualification took place, however, and
the error committed by such disquali
fication, it is said, now is being
rectified.
A number of other officers who
were disqualified with Colonel North
have since been qualified by enlist
ing as privates in the national guard,
later being returned to their pre-
- vious assignments as officers.
Colonel North said the matter was
taken up in Washington by his
friends. He expressed satisfaction.

Mrs. L. E. Getridge, 751 Turk street,
today to prove her marriage to F.
W. Getridare. -wealthy realty operator
of Baker City. Or., whom she is suing
fcr divorce, when attorneys for the
husband raised the question that
alimcny of $250 per month which

the legal wife of Getridge.
Mrs. Getridge says she was mar
ried in Boise, Idaho, on January 4,
3898, by Judge Baker. Marriage li
cense records do not show that a li
cense was ever issued, and there is
n-y record of a Judge Baker ever hold

troduced by the husband's attorneys.
Mrs. Getridge aiso introduced an
affidavit by John B. Rand of Baker
City, which states that Mrs. Getridge
and her husband were to all intents
man and wife during; their residence
there.
Judge Cro'.hers postponed her ap
plication for alimony until further

Mrs. Chester Frakes. 854 First

and hips and her husband was cut
and bruised about the face and hands
when a machine in which they were
driving crashed Into a machine driven
by Oscar Kuettner, 1086 Corbett
street, at Twenty-second and Glisan
streets at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The three occupants of the
Kuettner car escaped without Injury.
Both machines were turned com
pletely over and were almost demol
ished by the impact.
The machine driven by Kuettner
was going: south on Twenty-second
street when it met the lighter ma
chine driven by Frakes, which was
going west on Glisan street. Both
machines were traveling at about 20
miles an hour, and because of a large
woodpile on the corner, together with
several shade trees with their heavy
foliage, neither driver was able to see
the' other until the machines were
only a few feet apart.
The machine driven by Frakes
crashed into the side of the Kuettner
car and reared up on its hind wheels,
toppling over on its side. The Kuett
ner car swerved into the curbing and
turned completely over, pinning the
three occupants beneath. They all
crawled out from under the car with
only slight cuts. The three men in
the Kuettner car were returning from
a north Portland shipyard.
The Arrow ambulance company re
sponded to an emergency call and
took Mr. and Mrs. Frakes home. They
declined to go to a hospital. Mr.
Frakes appeared later at the police
station and said his wife was not
badly hurt.

Seattle Situation Brings About In
vestigation on Initiative
of Officials.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) On its own initiative today
the state public service commission
drew up and will file complaint
against the Seattle Lighting com
pany, challenging the adequacy of gas
service supplied patrons. It is the
intention to file the complaint to
morrow, following a conference with
the attorney-general, and to proceed
as promptly as statutory procedure
will permit
In a case of this kind the company
has ten days to answer before the
commission sets a date of hearing
and takes evidence.

E. V. Kuykendall. chairman, and H. H.
Cleland. commissioner. F. R. Spln-

ITh sfovenrrh Haernttral
The commission majority acted on
individual complaints now coming in
and its own conclusions following in
vestigation of the Seattle situation
last Friday.
One phase of the Seattle gas trouble
the commission is anxious to deter
mine is complaint that gasometers
continue to register as faithfully or
even more so when the gas coming
through is so heavily diluted with air
that it will not burn.
One instance is cited .where a con
sumer who was charged for 5600 feet
for a long month preceding the strike
trouble finds 8800 feet registered
against him for the shorter month in
which there has frequently been no
gas at all.
Complaints of this nature will be
sifted by the commission in the forth
coming procedure. It is expected that
the pressure today in Seattle will be
an improvement over past figures on
account of Seattle's limited consump
tion, but the two commissioners to
day appeared to have no expectation
that the company would be able to
show sufficient permanent improve
ment to Justify further forbearance.

Failure of Car Buyers on Vacation
to Pay Installment Causes
Mixup, but All's Well.
If J. L. Brown and E. J. Drumm
read these lines they will discover
for the first time that a warrant was
issued for their arrest on a charge
of stealing an automobile, as the re
sult of an indictment last Saturday
by the Multnomah county grand jury.
They will learn, possibly with a
sigh of relief, that the indictment
yesterday was dismissed.
There also will be disclosed to
Messrs. Brown and Drumm in the
startling information that J. E. Irvine
of 445 Hawthorne avenue, on whom
they called yesterday morning to pay
the balance to date on an automobile
purchased by contract several months
ago, received them with much trepi
dation and now is overcome with re
morse at being instrumental in the
filing of charges against them.
It was all a mistake," Irvine told
the district attorney's office yester
day, as he pleaded for dismissal of
the criminal indictment. "It was just
due to a misunderstanding and I am
satisfied the two men had no inten
tion of committing any crime. Fur
ther, they don't even know a com
plaint has been filed against them.
and I want the entire matter dis
missed before they are subjected to
arrest."
Irvine then explained the men had
been absent from the city on a fish
ing trip and had paid the balance due
on the car promptly on their return.
Judge Gatens dismissed the case.

GOVERNOR OPENS MEETING
Executive Introduced by Republi
can WhOj Declares Treaty Con
tains Republican Doctrine.
RENO. Nev.. Sept. 22. President
Wilson, contrasting the peace confer
ence at Versailles with the congress
of Vienna, declared In an address here
tonight that the Vienna peace ef
fort had failed because all the gov
ernments represented there were in
the hands of "a small coterie of au
tocrats." At Versailles, said the president,
the league of nations covenant was
drawn up by great aemocracies so
that autocracies never again would
enslave the peoples of the world.
One of the purposes of the Vienna
conference, Mr. Wilson asserted, was
to form such a union as would hold
in check the growing tide of democ
racy. The chief concern of the dele
gates who eat at Versailles, he added,
was to accomplish exactly the oppo
site. Foar Audiences Addressed.
Speaking in a theater to a crowd
of about 2000, the president frequent
ly was interrupted by applause. By
an electrical device his words were
carried to three other theaters hold
ing 1000 persons each.
The president was welcomed to
Reno by crowds which cheered him
at the railway station and along the
line of a short automobile ride
through the principal streets. Gov
ernor Boyle presided at the meeting
and Mr. Wilson was introduced by
Charles Chandler, a republican law
yer, who said he denied the right of
a few prominent senators" to com
mit the republican party to opposition
to the peace treaty. The treaty, ho
declared, contained "good republican
doctrines.
The crowd rose and cheered when
the president was introduced and
there was a demonstration for Mrs.
Wilson also when Mr. Chandler men
tioned her name.
Monroe Doctrine Extended.
In his reference to the congrers of
Vienna, the president said the effort
there made to stifle revolution and
democracy had been unsuccessful In
every nation but Germany.
It was the invocation of the Mon
roe doctrine, he said, that broke the
backbone of autocracy's effort to
overwhelm South America, and added
that at Versailles the cycle of liberty
had been completed by application of
the Monroe doctrine to the . whole
world.
Unlike the Vienna congress, said
the president, the conference at Ver
sailles was made up of men who
knew they were the servants, and
not the masters of the people. As the
people's servants, he said, they had
carried out their promise of a per
manent peace.
Paet Written at Front.
"This treaty was not written, e.
sentlally sneaking, in Paris." he said.
"It waa written at Chateau Thierry
In Belleau woods and in the Argonne.
"Our men did not fight with the
purpese of coming back and having
the same thing happen again. They
fought with the purpose of seeing the
thing through, and we are going to
ree it through.
Paying tribute to the frontier spirit
of the west, the president said . it
was at the frontier that was found
the forward-looking people. Too
many who oppose the treaty, he as
sertcd, were looking over their
shoulders.
Referring to the "Insubordinate
restlessness" prevailing in EArope and
Asia. Mr. Wilson asserted that the
world not only desired peace, but
roust have it.
America Only Guarantee.
America only, he said, could guar
antee such a peace. Askirrg his hear
ers whether they had not heard of
organisations in America, "the pur
pose of which is nothing less than to
overturn the government itself," he
added that it was Important to Amer
ica also that unrest be quieted.
Repeating his previous declarations
in support of article 10 and other dis
puted points of the treaty, the presl
dent said the people had been "dili
gently misinformed about the con
tents of the document." He lauded
the labor and mandatory features of
the treaty, saying it constituted "i
great guarantee of justice and lib
erty."
The president also discussed the ob
jection that the British empire would
have an unequal representation In the
league assembly, saying that the fear
expressed on that score was a "bug
aboo." He also explained the Shan
tung provision of the treaty, and said
the league furnished China her best
GOLDEN WEST COFFEE IS
trouble that will help liberate man
kind. I don t want always to D
thinking about my akin or my pock-
etbook or my friendships."
He added that when those opposing
the league feel "the impulse of cour
age instead of the lmpulsa of cow
ardice, they would see the question
in its proper light.
