American Citizenship.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C, June S. Repre
sentative McArthur declined today to
interfere with the cancellation by the
department of labor of the citizenship
papers of Joseph Woerndle of Port
land. In explanation of his attitude,
Mr. McArthur Issued the following
statement:
"I am in receipt of a number of
telegrams requesting me to intercede
with the department of labor, where
an action is now pending: for the can
cellation of the citizenship papers of
JoseDh Woerndle of Portland, and
MANY FROLICS PLANNED "er a careful inquiry Into the facts
ana circumstances surrounding mis
case, I find that I cannot recommend
that these proceedings be quashed
The evidence shows that Woerndle
permitted Hans W. Boehm, a German
spy, to impersonne him for the pur
pose of obtaining a passport to visit
Germany in October, 1917.
"Woerndle may not have had knowl
edge of all of the activities of Boehm
while he was using the name of
Woerndle, but he was nevertheless,
willing that the United States should
suffer whatever embarrassment might
result. If Woerndle regarded his citi
zenship as a thing to be treated bo
lightly, I cannot make any recom
mendation toward his continuance as
a citizen and, furthermore. I feel that
congressional recommendations in
these matters should be made only in
the rare instances where it is quite
apparent that an injustice has been
done."

Possibility of Heavier Vote, How

Bond and Local Measures.
SALEM, Or., June 6. (Special. )
The registration of voters for tomor
row's special election, as shown by
reports received at the offices of the
secretary of state from every county
in Oregon, aggregates 317,099, or ap
proximately 47,000 less than was re
corded prior to the general election in
November, 1920.
The registration for the genera!
election in November. 1920, totaled
364,469, of which 247,899 votes were
cast. At the special election in May,
1920. whon the un nhmltteri tn
the voters were of equal if not of, TOURISTS TOLD TO LEAVE
greater importance than those to De
presented to the electorate tomorrow,
only 171.592 ballots were cast.
Based on the ratio of votes cast at
the special election In May of last
year, when compared with the regis
tration at that time, persons close in
touch with the measures Included on
tomorrow's ballot predict that the
total vote of . the state will not ex
ceed 50 per cent of the normal voting
strength at a general election.
This ratio of votes may be increased
materially, however, because of bond
issues confronting the electorate of
Portland and local measures In va
rious other counties of the state.
The regislration of the state, by
counties, as compiled by the secretary
of state, follows:

Action Xow Will Be Sent Back to
District Court Where Retrial
Will Be Possible.
WASHINGTON. D. C. June . A
petition of the Oregon Bar association
that it be permitted to intervene as a
friend of the court in the case of Henry
Albers was denied today by the au
preme court. Conviction of Albers, a
wealthy citizen of Portland, of violat
ing the espionage act, was reversed
when the government confessed error.
While no reason for the court's ac
tion was announced, it was under
stood to have been on the ground that
the bar association had no direct in
terest in the case which would serve
to give it legal standing. The peti
tion was presented by Senator Mc
Nary of Oregon.
The action of the supreme court
concludes the case insofar as the
Oregon State Bar association is con
cerned, according to Harrison G.
Piatt, president of the association.
The regular routine of the case
would now be Its reference back to
the district court of Oregon, where It
had Its inception, together with a
mandate reversing the decision of the
lower court and setting aside the sen
tence imposed.
In the lower court the case can
either be retried or dismissed at the
discretion of the United States attor
ney. Lester W. Humphreys, the fed
eral prosecutor, has already an
nounced his intention of having the
case retried unless he receives orders
to the contrary from Washington. In
case of a new trial, such evidence as
Solicitor-General Frierson confessed
error on would hi carefully eliminated.
"There is nothing -more that the
Oregon State Bar association can do
in the matter," said Mr. Piatt last
night. "The supreme court has re
fused to reconsider the case, and that
ends it, so far aa we are concerned
It was solely a matter of practice, and

"Whatever figure the death list
finally reaches, not half the bodies
of the victims of the flood will be
recovered," R. G. Breckenridge, (resi
dent of the Pueblo Rotary club said
today. He based this statement on
peculiarities of the river channel and
the drifting of mud over the flooded
area.
No additional bodies were brought
to the morgue on the south side

of which 12 were identified. The un

Five measures will be before the
electorate of the state today In a
special election. In Portland clt'.
sens will pass on two measures sub
mitted by the city and another meas
ure dealing with the Port of Tort
land commission.
The main reason for hold ng the
pec'al election Is to enable the peo
ple to approve or reject the proposed
bonus and loan for ex-service men.
There has been comparatively lit
tie Interest taken In the election
aside from the ex-soldlrrs, sailors
and marines, and their relatives and
friends. So little a ripple has been
caused by the election that the 'pre
diction has been made that the vols
will fall below 30 per cent of the
registration in Multnomah county.
and probably will ie even less in
other counties save ln the nine where
road bond issues are at stake.
Bond Innae rrnpoaed.
Under the provisions of the bonus
and loan measure, permission would
be given the state to issue bonds up
to 3 per cent of the assessed) valu-
tion of the property In the state.
The bonus has been limited to IIS a,
month for the period of service, but
not to exceed $.'.00. The loan has
been limited to 75 per cent of ap
praised value of real estate not to
exceed $4000. There has been no op
position voiced and the measure Is
expected to carry. This measure whs
referred to the people by the 1921
session of the legislature and the
other measures were also referred by
the legislature.
One of the measures would Increase
the length of the legislative session
from 40 to (0 days and would In
crease the pay from $3 to $5 a day.
Another would provide that the gov
ernor can veto an Item to cover ait
emergency clause without affecting
other Items In the bill. The other
