' OREGONTAN' NEWS BUREAU,
3 Washington. 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.

that the navy should be "incompar

"We are to have a league of nations

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

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

the calling of a special election at an
expense of $30,000 on submission of
proposed amendment at a regular
election, and would involve the issu
ance of bonds to cover the cost of
purchase, whatever that might be;
the valuation fixed on the company's
city lines by the state commission is
$18,568,000 several millions less than
the valuation claimed by the company.
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.

James A. Parcel of Berkeley, Cal.. a

before his death and had been to a
show the night before. Wednesday
morning he was found unconscious
and did ont recover. His parents are

tesano. 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.

Knights of Commons Worker De
clares at Least 70 Per Cent
Are Hot Americana.
ALBANY, N. Y Feb. 5. Peter "W.
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."
