Feb. 5. Four famous I guns which were operated against the enemy in France by the valiant I boys of the 146th field artillery, re- cruited mainly from Washington, Ore ' gon and Idaho, will soon be on the ; way to Walla Walla, Wash. Representative Summers of Wash- ; ington has been seeking for weeks to ' obtain these guns for battery A of Walla Walla, a new motorized eom ; pany of the' Washington national . puard, commanded by Sergeant Bruce Whitney, who was at the front with ' the 14Sth in France. ArtvW from the war department I today said that the guns had finally ' been located at the arsenal at Aber- I deen. Maryland, and that they will be ' shipped west just as soon as word ' comes that adequate sneuer iur mcm I has been provided. Kin Are Worth 3IM,0O0. I These guns will be valuable acces sions to the new Walla Walla com ' panv and probably somewhat of a ' curiositv at this time in any part of the United States. Their entire equip ment has a value of $200,000, because each gun is mounted on a huge trac tor. So valuable are they that the war department will dispatch a represen tative with them to see that none of the brass parts are removed by junk dealers or relic seekers. The big weapons are of French make, being known as French 155s, and according to regimental citations they had much to do with winning tne war. These citations say that the 146tli. together with the 148th, fired more ammunition at the enemy than any other American artillery of a similar Ptvpe In France, which means these guns were kept busy for some time.

Leasme or Ktt Is Choice. "We are to have a league of nations with America making as large a con tribution as any other country to the mobile police force afloat," he said, "or we are to have a navy 'incom parably the most adequate navy in the world.' Which la. it to be? It must be one or the other." Reviewing the history of the mer chant marine through "40 years of re publican neglect and indifference," the naval secretary declared it was not until President Wilson's first in auguration when a shipping bill was introduced In 1914 by Representative Alexander, now secretary of com merce, that a "constructive measure to give America a merchant marine with administrative backing," had been presented. "This new merchant marine is in jeopardy again," he eaid. "Unless the people register "their high resolve never again to let America be depend ent upon foreign bottoms, this re nublican congress will start the mer chant marine down the tobaggan Elide out of which Woodrow Wilson pulled it against republican opposition and hostility."

DEMOCRATIC IRE IS UP Continned From First Page.) democratic doctrine that the govern ment is most effective which governs the least. This precept of democratic faith in the recent past has been grievously and wilfully sinned against when, in t:e name of democracy, there was imposed upon 100.000,000 free people, without asking their di rect consent, a restriction to their personal liberty which Russia in her palmiest days ever dreamed oi. Sims' Name Is Hlnaed. The name of Admiral Sims waa in- trniluced hv John M. Kienie, tne toastraaster, after Secretary Daniels' ririress. The secretary had dwelt upon the great service performed by th North sea mine barrage in rut ting an end to the German submarine menace, and incidentally credited President Wilson with being the first high American official to conceive tne Idea. Mr. Riehle, before calling upon Governcr Edwards as the next nnpAkAr. Raid: "Secretary Daniels spoke of the great barrage laid across the North sea. I have just receivea a memo "randum which shows that the only American officer w-ho opposed the laying of that barrage was Admiral Sims." The mention of the admiral's name was the signal for considerable hiss ing and booing. Among the democrats at the speak er's table were: Charles B. Alexander, vice-president of the National Democratic club; Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec retary of the navy, and the following national committeemen: Norman IS. Mack. New York; R. F. Hudspeth, New Jersey; Frederic B. Lynch, Minnesota; Patrick H. Quinn, Rhode Island: John W. Coughlin, Massa chusetts. Tribute Paid to Wilson. President Wilson was given credit for having seen the necessity of shut ting German submarines off the seas as the only effective method of com batting them before naval staffs "on either side of the water," moved to that end. "You must shut up the hornets in their nests." the president was quoted by Mr. Daniels as having said m a quarterdeck speech to officers of the battleship Pennsylvania early In the war. "for you can never end the sub marine peril if you let them out and then have to devote yourselves to chasing them all over the ocean." "The barrage finally built across the North sea," Mr. Daniels said, "was the American navy's answer to the president's counsel. It was proposed by Admiral Earle (chief of ordnance) in April, 1917. approved by Admiral Benson and Admiral Mayo, by the general board, the secretary of the navy and by the president. It was the greatest new constructive naval measure of effectiveness in the whole war. It was a factor both In de stroying the morale of the German navy and in its deadly destruction of submarines. Convoy Idea Wilsoa'a. President Wilson had also pointed out before naval staffs had reached that conclusion, Mr. Daniels said, that the only way to "most surely safe guard merchant ships was to send them In convoys protected by armed ships." The secretary attacked the record of congress since 1918 when "dishon est appeal to hyphenated politics en abled the republicans to elect a ma jority of this congress," and declared the people had "already found they got a gold brick." That record, he characterized as certain to defeat the republican party next November, "as it is certain that the democrats will have the wisdom to go forward and nominate a great leader who is him self a platform of constructive legis lation." Mr. Daniels said he believed that a league of nations such as that pro posed In the treaty would. enable the nerld to maintain peace without com- GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 5. Dollars formed the main topic of the Newberry election conspiracy trial to day. Beginning with the testimony of Allan K. Moore, a defendant, who pleaded "no contest," and continuing up to adjournment, the testimony re lated to money expended or received, deposited and checked against and to cash kept in deposit vaults in Detroit or handed out in the Grand Rapids office from which the western Michi gan campaign was directed. Bank officials from Detroit and this city were on the stand to Identify deposit slips, ledger entries and voucher checks, and guardians of the master key of a Detroit safety de posit vault told of visits to that in stitution by certain of the defend ants. At one stage of the. proceedings Federal Judge Sessions Interrupted a reading of long lists of deposits and withdrawals with the remark that the jury "could not possibly carry all tnose figures in their heads," and with the consent of the defense at torneys ne ordered the accounts, " con sidered as read." More Than 900,000 Spent. The prosecution reckoned tonight that it had shown thus far that more than 1200,000 had been handled in the campaign. This was compared with the 3750 which Judge Sessions has ruled was the limit of campaign ex penses allowed by law for the 1918 senatorial campaign. The defense has indicated that it will combat this point on the ground that the statutes refer solely to a candidate's Dersonal coniriDucions or expenditures. Moore testified that he had received or nanaied approximately J3500 in his work as a field agent in the cam paign.

Remission of bridge tolls and pave ment charges would require decision at the hands of the voters in the same manner as municipal ownership. Fa-' vorable action on these items would mean that taxation would have to Uje resorted to in the case of tolls and that abutting property owners on new pavement lines would have to bear all of the improvement costs. Free rides for policemen and fire men This is a franchise provision and might be revoked by the council. Financing by taxation The city council would have power to issue utility bonds as a means of making up the deficit between a 6-cent fara and the amount necessary to operate the lines and pay interest on Invest ment, only upon authorization by the people, who would have to vote about two mills levy for the purpose. This was shown yesterday by Mr. Myers, assistant city attorney, to be the difference to be expected during this year on the basis of the present fare and an operating expense of 15,700, 000. The taxing power of the council is limited. Regulating fares The state public service commission has absolute au thority to fix any rate necessary. to maintain service. From these showings it will be seen that the only official body already clothed with authority to apply an Immediate remedy is the state com mission, and that the remedy lies In increased fares. However, it is ap parent that the commission will make every possible effort to find another way out and it may endeavor by rec ommendations to get the city coun cil and the people of Portland to co operate with it in the problems be fore it.

MISSING TEACHER SOUGHT $1000 Reward Posted for Appre hension of Dr. Lachman. SALEM, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) Police in all sections of the United States have been requested to aid in the search for Dr. Arthur Lachman, formerly in charge of the chemistry department of the University of Ore gon, who disappeared in San Fran cisco December 11, 1919. Circulars re ceived at the governor's office hare naicate that JJr. Lachman was suf fering from some mental ailment. A reward of 11000 has been posted for the apprehension of Dr. Lachman, who, it is believed, has left California.

With the acceptance of the Jury, which came with dramatic abruptness, as the defense was expected to utilize every challenge at its disposal. Judge Wilson adjourned court until 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. At the close of the session the court warned the jurors, with stern emphasis, against discussing the case with any one, to any degree or in any fashion. At liberty for but a few hours before they become wards of the state, for the duration of the case, the recess was granted to the Jurors that they may attend to pressing business af fairs before the long lane of evidence and testimony opens. It was E. E. Sweitzer, Juryman, who begged the court for the most extend ed recess permissible, explaining that he is involved in a real estate trans fer of magnitude and that it must fail of completion unless he was granted time to attend to the neces sarv legal steps. Sweitzer is a farmer of Oakville and the pending sale of aj Dortion of his real estate had much to do with the recess allowed by Judge Wilson. The selection of the two alternate jurors will be-first in procedure when court convenes again tomorrow alter noon. On these the state has one per emptory challenge and the defense has two. Though they will sit in passive capacity, unless an emergency creates vacancy in the regular panel, the se lection of the alternates will be as sternly fought as has been tne cnoos lng of the others. With their return to court after winding up their business affairs, the 12 Jurors will Immediately be sworn In. From that moment until the final tension breaks and the verdict is an- nounced In a hushed and waiting courtroom, the 12 good men and true will be almost as sternly guarded and confined as are the prisoners themselves. It is probable that the two alter nate Jurors will be selected tomorrow and that the opening statements of the prosecution will be delivered In late afternoon by Herman Alien, prosecuting attorney for Lewis coun ty, where the armistice day tragedy occurred. But it may take Until oat urday morning, if the quizzing of the alternates is as keen as has Deen that of those elected to the regular panel. Survey of Scene la Next It is understood that the state will ask permission to convey the jury to Centralia for the purpose of person ally surveying the scene where the alleged murder of Warren O. Grimm occurred, and for fixing clearly in the minds of the 12 the geography of Tower avenue, the location or tne structures from which the rain of bullets swept the armistice parade, and of distant Seminary hill, where the I. W. W. riflemen are alleged to have picked their targets on the holi day street. The defense has inter posed .no objection to this proposal, and intimates that it will not. In compliance with the law, tne .adjournment of court to Centralia on the evidential survey wiu mean mm. the 11 defendants will revisit the scene of the tragedy where they are alleged to have conspired murderous ly against the American Jjegion ana to have placed the conspiracy into ef fect from the muzzles of hign-pow- ered rifles. Estimates of the probable duration of the trial, in which more than 400 witnesses are summoned, are from six weeks to two months. The pre vious estimate of the length of time necessary to impanel a jury ranging from 10 days to two weeks already has been borne out. Dramatic Trial Certain. ' The metal of state and defense has been sternly proved in the jury selec tion. So sharply has every issue been contested, with almost equal thrusts, that the trial itself promises to be one of the most spectacular ana dramatic in the annals of northwest ern courts. Appearing as leading counsel for the state are W. H. -Abel of Monte- sano and C. D. Cunningham of Cen tralia. Supervision of the state's case is in the hands of Herman Al en, prosecuting attorney for Lewis county. Other counsel associated with the prosecution Includes Frank r Chrlstensen, assistant attorney-gen eral; John II. Dunbar, assistant in the attorney-general's department, and J. H. Jahnke, assistant prosecutor of Lewis county. For the defense George F. Vander veer, I. W. W. counsel, is playing a lone hand for ten of the defendants Elmer Smith, the 11th defendant, a practicing attorney of Centralia, will fight and plead his own case. Thus far Abel and Cunningham have been to the fore In the state's duellos with the defense, and it is held to be certain that upon these two will fall the brunt of the prosecu tion's battle. - Montesano and the Grays harbor country, watching the course of jury selection with the intensive interest of a populace that counts nearly every resident as a neighbor or acquaint ance, is taking a recess this afternoon and waiting for the first thrust of the case itself.

RATE CLAUSE PROTESTED Washington Commission Objects to Proposed Bail Legislation. OLTMPIA. Wash., Feb. 5. (Spe cial) The Washington public service commisison today wired Senator Cum mings, Congressman Esch and mem bers of the congressional delegation from this state a vigorous protest against insertion in the pending rail road legislation of a provision sub mitted by the committee of railroad executives conferring on the inter state commerce commission authority to suspend intrastate rates upon an informal showing by the carrier and to substitute rates ordered by the in terstate commerce commission before any formal hearing is allowed. Delegation of power to the federal commission to arbitrarily substitute its own rates in lieu of state rates where the intrastate rates are alleged to be discriminatory as against inter state rates without a full hearing will have- the effect of destroying the power of state commissions to regu late state rates, the Washington com mission declares.

Collins of Boston, a Knights of Co lumbus worker, was recalled to the stand at today's session of the trial of the five suspended socialist assem blymen to support a claim by the prosecution that the socialist party was dominated by aliens. This claim was the basis of a charge that social ist public officials were controlled by dues-paying aliens through resigna tions filed with their party organiza tion after they had been nominated. When adjournment was taken until Tuesday the prosecution had virtually closed its case. Mr. Collins waa today's only wit ness. In cross-examination the de fense sought to show Collins was employed by a "secret society" fight ing socialism, that he was prejudiced in favor of trade' unionism as op posed to socialism and that he lacked knowledge of socialism and the so cialist party. 70 Per Cent Held Aliens. Having made tne "conservative" es tlmate that at least 70 per cent of socialist party members were aliens. Collins said that througlanhe resigna tion clause in the party constitution the socialist party is actually a gov ernment within a government, de termining how its members shall act in public places. Asked by Chairman Martin to dif ferentiate between communists. In dustrial Workers of the World, the left wing socialists, radical socialists and I guess socialists, Mr. Collins quoted Victor L. Berger as saying there were many roads to socialism, but "only one variety of socialism." Varieties Are Discussed. "They have their different varie ties of socialists for the purpose of getting where they can drive home socialism and make socialists," he con tinued. "It is the most scientific sys tem of deception in the world, be cause it wants to make a thousand different people believe that it stands for a thousand different things." Mr. Collins, who said he based his estimate of alien members on exhaus tive acquaintance with socialists made while touring the country lecturing against socialism, was asked by the defense how he reached this esti mate. He replied he had "questioned socialists, had heard the question of alien membership brought out in de bates and had observed for himself." Our Store Opens at 9 A, M.
