BARED II Hi
Electrician Tells of Working
in Lodge Hall.
BILL SENT TO DISTRICT
Attorney for Captain Edmondstone
Intimates Labor Was to Be Done
After Regular Hours.
The entire school board of district
No. 1, together with some scores of
Citizens and school employes, attend
el the senion ot the property com
mittee Wednesday night, called to
consider charges of mismanagement
and favoritism preferred against Cap
tain George EMmonstone, supervisor
of the properties department. The
consensus of opinion seemed to be,
when the meeting came to a close,
that Director Thomas was entirely
' right in his assertion that "there
wasn't anything funny about It."
Witnesses testified to the general
effect that a power within the school
toatd apparently is seeking to crcaie
a political machine from the. ranks of
the dlBtrict employes: that discharges
of competent and praiseworthy work
men without cause or hearing have
been frequent; that efficiency has
been lowered by this procedure, and
that employes have been taken from
their tasks to perform services not
remotely pertaining to the, interests
of the district.
Hearing; Like Trial.
Instituted by Director Shull, who
preferred the charges and summoned
witnesses to substantiate them,, the
public hearing has assumed the aspect
of a trial in court with John Collier
appearing as attorney for Captain Ed
mondstone. and Director Shull serving
In behalf of the public Interest and in
defense of his harassed witnesses. In
deed, there was a touch of the old
time prosecutor about Attorney Col
lier's examinations that lent at all
t.mes an air of severe gravity to the
questioning, for example, of a cafe
teria manager. Bo protracted did the
testimony prove that it will "be re
sumed tonight at 7 o'clock and again
next weaneeday night when Captain
Edmonstone will present his defense.
The plaint of the discharged em
ployes of the properties department
was neatly phrased by J. O. Gibson,
plumber of five years' service In the
schools, who was abruptly notified
by Matthew Odell, subordinate to
Captain Edmondstone, that though
his work was satisfactory he was do
longer needed.
Chief Is Quoted.
"The other powers are in now,"
Gibson quoted his chief as saying.
"You know how it Is they want their
own people in these Jobs." The wit
ness said that he reminded Odell
there were no charges against him,
receiving the answer: "Oh, we can
always drum up charges to fire you
on."
With Director Thomas presiding,
the session opened with that commit
teeman's statement that the property
committee desired to Investigate each
particular In the hearing, adding that
the newspapers had persistently mis
represented his purpose and maligned
his motive, and challenging them to
report his rather trite and obvious
declaration of principles. At the out
set he made it clear that there must
be no levity, and the gavel banged
and thumped at every outbreak save
that'occasioned by a witticism of his
own whereat he laughed with the
loudest.
B. J. Fhjlllps. discharged electri
cian, testified that he and another em
ploye, Klncald, had on August 9 and
10 been assigned to Install a motion
picture machine in the lodge rooms ot
the Knights of Pythias ball, at. the
suggestion of Captain Edmondstone.
who informed him that there would
"be bo money In It"
Work Takea 10 Honrs.
He said that approximately 10 hours
ot the district's time were spent In
this work, and that on his time card
he entered the report of the days as
though he had been regularly at
work In the schools.
Cross-examined by Attorney Collier,
who sought to show that Phillips had
been told that he might do the work
on his own time after regular hours,
the witness laughed the theory away.
It was plain to him, he said that noth
ing of the sort had been Intended. He
had carried out his instructions to the
letter, with an understanding of their
purport that the district's time was
to be used.
"Do you know why he said there
was no money In it for you?" per
sisted Attorney Collier,
"Yes. I was to charge It to the
school board," answered the electri
cian. Charge Is Denied.
Asked If it was not true that he was
later discharged for insubordination
In refusing to discharge men working
under him, the witness asserted that
he had voiced no such refusal and
maintained this position throughout a
characteristic grilling. He had worked
for the district 16 years, no semblance
of charges other than this ever had
been brought against him and he re
garded his discharge as unwarranted.
The witness also testified that, as
electrician, he prepared an eleventh
hour estimate of the wiring for James
John high school, adding the custom
ary m per cent for overhead, and
passed It on to his superior. Captain
Edmondstone. The figure was $8900.
Next morning he learned, he said, that
the estimate had been raised to $9900,
and the award made to the Page-Mc-Kinney
company for J9397.
"Who added that J1000?" repeated
the witness. "I don't know who did
It, but it was done."
Letter Is on File.
At the close of his testimony he was
asked by Attorney Collier to place in
evidence a letter written by Captain
Edmondstone regarding the motion
picture installation. At this Phillips
looked dubious and clung to the mis
sive, shaking his head.
"No," he said. "I want to keep it."
"Well, it's in safe keeping," soothed
Director Thomas, indicating Reporter
Person. "It will be in the stenog
rapher's hands."
"Well, if it's in his hands, all right."
assented the electrician. "I'M leave it,
but not with you."
With even less cause, by the tes
timony, was the dismissal of James
Stanyon, formerly head Janitor at
Washington high school, brought
. about. There had been no complaint
against him, except one respecting
an explosion which he vehemently
denied, on his honor as a stationary
engineer, and the entire faculty of
the school some 60 teachers had
signed a resolution of appreciation
for his kindly and efficient service
and against his peremptory discharge.
Hearing Is Denied.
He had gone to Captain Edmond
stone and said: "1 deny those
charges. I have never had a hearing,
and I demand one." to which he had
received the final reply: "It Is not
necessary for you to have a hearing."
He. had then been told that E. F.
Stuart of the properties department
had filed the charges. Stanyon had
hastened to Stuart to retrieve his
reputation. They met In the school
cafeteria.
"I hnven't filed any charges." the
witness quoted Stuart as replying.
"I'll tell you, Stanyon, It's politics
and O. B. said you had to go."
This open reference to the presid
ing officer and member of the prop
erty committee roused' George B.
Thomas, director, from his satisfied
poise.
Director Takes Hand.
"I'd like to ask you, Mr. Stanyon."
said Thomas, "did you ever come to
see G. B.r
"No," said Stanyon, "I knew It
wouldn't do me any good. Stuart said
to me, 'Edmondstone's a very good
scout; don't blame him tie had to
obey his orders. And don't blame me;
I couldn't help it.' "
Here Director Thomas raised the
aueetion of religion, asking the wit
ness if it was not true that he hadj
ima irienas mat ne Denevea nm un
charge arose from religious prejudice
against him. Prior to this the bogey
of school politics had never reared its
fearful crest. '
"Well, I'm. a Catholic. If you want
to know it,'.' exclaimed Stanyon. "But
I want to keep religion out of this
you're forcing it." Forced to admit
that ho had talked of his suspicion,
in one instance with Director Wood
ward, the witness was asked what he
based this attitude upon.
Iteliglon Brought In.
"Sir. Thomas' well-known antagon
ism to Catholicism," he replied.
"How do you know that?" pursued
Attorney Collier.
"Everybody knows that, answered
Stanyon.
"When did you first decide that re
ligion was entering Into this thing?"
"When I could not get a hearing
from the board."
In rapid sequence followed the tes
timony of members of Washington
faculty, each to the effect that Stan
yon was a auDer-janltor. without a
spot or blemish upon his professional
career, well liked and happily situ
ated,, and most wrongfully dismissed.
The inquiry, under the able ques
tioning of Director Shull, a lawyer
lost in the grain business, turned to
cafeterias to Lincoln high scnooi
cafeteria in particular, with Mrs.
Dora Kimball, late of that establish
ment, on the stand. One cannot get
awav from the legal aspect of the
hearing, any more than could Attorney
Collier, who used to prosecute. Mrs.
Kimball testified that she had been
discharged without a hearing and
most abruptly.
' Order la Quoted.
Miss Mary Baird, manager, had
told her. simply. "I have no reasons
I have been ordered to discharge
you." Mrs. Kimball Is the mother of
a large family, one of them a wage
earner, and her husband is employed
at $5 a day.
Miss Baird succeeded her, with
testimony relating to the incident
and her resentment against the stew
ardship of Superintendent of Cafeter
ias Spencer, recently appointed by
the board. Spencer had told her she
"must get rid" of Mrs. Kimball, and
though she protested vigorously the
order was reinforced concrete. It
stood.
"For what reason?" she had asked.
"No reason but for the good of the
service," Spencer had replied. "It's
the only reason I'm permitted to give
you."
Order Is Repented.
Weakened somewhat by Miss
Balrd's protest, the cafeteria super
intendent had gone out for a half
hour, returning with renewed and In
flexible authority. "I was not mis
taken," stie quoted him as saying.
"Mrs. Kimball has got to go." , -
In her stead Lincoln cafeteria re
celved a woman whom Miss Baird
characterized as "willing, but not
nearly so good as Mrs. Kimball," and
whose resignation she had been
forced to request. The new helper
lived near Jefferson high school, said
the witness, and Mr. Spencer had
made the comment: "As long as we
had to take care of this woman, I'm
sorry that we couldn't have got her
Into Jefferson high sehool, so she
wouldn't have to go so far."
This and similar testimony occu
pied the hearing, with a half dosen
other discharged employes asserting
their right to testify, after years of
service for the district, and their pro
test against removal when younger
men remained. The defense there
goes a legal term again declared
that all such dismissals were in the
Interests of retrenchment and econ
omy-
Hearing Kraomed Tonight.
The hearing drew to a close because
of the absence of an Important Wit
ness, C. A. McBaln, who is expected
to develop an entirely new line of tes
timony. It will be resumed tonight
when McBaln and corroborative wit
nesses will be called by -Director
Shull.
On behalf of his client, Captain Ed
mondstone, Attorney Collier declared
that the defense would produce evi
dence and testimony to refute any and
all charges and would be ready to
present its case on Weaneeday night
of next week.
AGED NEGRO RUN DOWN
BILLY JONES SUFFERING FROM
FRACTURED LEG.
Character of Portland for More
Than 40 Tears May Be 85
or 185 Years Old.
Billy Jones, 85 or 185, Is in St. Vin
cent's hospital suffering from a com
pound fracture of the left leg. re
ceived about 8 o'clock Wednesday
night when he was bowled over at
West Park and Oak streets by the
automobile of A. Sinsheimer, 1232
East Broadway.
Billy might be Uncle Tom of cabin
fame, although perhaps not as black,
and has lived in Portland for more
than 40 years. He is widely known
among business men as a janitor and
porter who can see dtrt, even in the
most secluded nooks, and who does
not scorn to remove it. For a num
ber ot years he has been employed
by City Commissioner Mann with the
Ivy Press.
At the city emergency hospital,
where Billy was taken after the acci
dent, he believed himself to be 110
years old. Mr. Mann said that his
age was once computed from tales of
travel and the years passed In various
cities of the United States and that it
was 185. The nearest he could guess
at his correct age was that he prob
ably would be between 85 and 110.
Mr. Mann said he had known the aged
negro for 85 years, during which he
had not changed In appearance.
After Billy had received first aid
treatment he was taken to St. Vin
cent's, accompanied by Mr. Mann.

JAPANESE CONCEDE
T
Important Statement Clears
Up One Phase of Issues. '
OPEN DEALING IS LAUDED
Question of "What Is China?"
Has Brought Shantung Into Light
as Negotiations Ripen.
BY ADACHI KIXNOSUKB.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Amascmen.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 28.
(Special.) Decidedly tfte most Im
portant statement made on the far
easterr. labyrinth so far was what
Admiral Baron Kato said yesterday
about Manchuria as being a part of
China. Even more significant is the
fact that the Japanese themselves
seem to be utterly unaware of its
importance. When I questioned Mr.
Debuchi, chief of the press section of
the Japanese delegation, about It he
dismissed it as of no significance at
all for all the world. The chief of the
press section seemed to think that
an American journalist asked Admiral
Kato a question, in elementary geog
raphy and that the dignified ranking
member of our delegation gave a les
son In a kindergarten.
Declaration Is Confirmed.
What is important is that the ad
miral's declaration was confirmed to
day with additional emphasis by Mas
anac Harihara, vice-minister ot for
eign affairs of Japan, who was ap
pointed to serve as the fourth ot the
chief delegates of Japan on Novem
ber 22.
"Certainly, as I understand it, Ja
pan considers Manchuria as a part of
China." He told the representatives
of the press this afternoon In the
same old frank and genial manner
which has made him the most popular
Japanese diplomatist who ever came
to Washington.
"Manchuria will be treated as such
by Japan. Thi3 does away once and
for all with all the speculations and
rumors and whisperings about Japan
oiling herself through a tight hole by
way or a certain definition of China."
It did not sound like a statement of
a diplomat; certainly not of a tradi
tional Japanese diplomat,' so candid,
so utterly without misty garnlshlngs
and foggy framings. Naturally enough
someone raised the query, "What
about the special rights which Japan
enjoys in Manchuria today? Is she
going to open all of them to discus
sion and revision by the present con
ference? Some Are Closed Problems.
"Some of them are not open for dis
cussions," answered Mr. Harihara, and
he added that the discussions of any
of them must be wiHi the consent of
all those interested- if they are
brought up before the conference at
ail. In other words.-none of them Is
going to come up for public discus
sion at the present conference, let
alone be revised, withuot the con
sent of the powers most interested in
them. There are many reasons why
this out-and-out statement of the
newly appointed envoy ot Japan is
exceedingly Interesting and important
at this time. For one thing, the ques
tion, "What is China?" was raised by
one of the American delegates a few
days ago. According to a trustworthy
report it was raised at an executive
session. It was reported that Dr. Koo,
one of the chief delegates of China,
said in answer that the constitution
of the Chinese republic clearly de
fined China. It Included ail the ter
ritories, such as Manchuria, Mongo
lia and Thibet, which are sometimes
known as dependencies.
'American View Expressed.
Whereupon the American delegate
is reported to have pointed out that
on a historical ground, and on paper,
and from the domestic Chinese point
of view, there may not be any excep
tions taken to the statement of the
Chinese envoy, but when it came to
the actual administrative entity of
China of today, and from the point
ot view ot International relations, it
may be somewhat debatable.
Mr. Harthara's statement, moreover,
is one of the surest signs that dis
cussions and exchanges of views on
the trying questions of the far east
are progressing much smoother than
the outsiders have any idea.
As far as Japan is concerned he
received the questions about Shan
tung with an air of one who wishes
nothing better than to tell every
thing he knows, and what he does
not say is because he Is not himself
Informed. He assured everyone that
as far as he knew Shantung has
not come up .for discussion on the
Important question as to Japan's at
titude, on the tariff autonomy ot
China.
Shantnng Rests Upon Treaty.
Mr. Harihara said that, although he
Is on the committee which is to dis
cuss the matter, he did not consider
himself an expert on the question.
He added, however, that, as far as be
knew, the whole matter rested where
the so-called MacKay treaty of 1902,
between China and Great Britain, left
it. Article 8 of the treaty provided
that Great Britain would agree for
China to Increase her import duties
to 12 hi per cent ad valorem and her
export duties to 7V4 per cent, but al
ways on the one condition that China
would abandon altogether that tradi
tional nightmare of foreign traders
in China, a transit tax. called the
llkln charges. The MacKay treaty
had another string to It. Before it
was made effective it had to receive
the consent of all the other treaty
powers entitled to what is known as
the "most-favored nation" treatment.
China Cannot Make Good.
Both Japan and America entered
Into a similar agreement with China
in 1903, but because China would not
and could not make good her end
ot the bargain, the treaties on the
Chinese tariff remain a dead letter
at this day.
Prince Tokugawa, who Introduced
Mr. Harihara to the newspaper men
as the fourth of the chief delegates of
Japan, took special pains to explain
that it was not because Admiral Kato.
Baron Shldehara and the prince him
self had an entertaining free-for-all
fight. eery few minutes, as Borne of
the enterprising rumors had it, that
the Japanese government added an
other to her high ranking delegates.
He did not stop there either. He made
a large promise, just how large it was
he should know better than anyone
else, that our - high and dignified
envoys are not going to quarrel, for
they did not mean to.
Touch of Humor Timely.
A touch of humor Is a' gracious
thing almost at any spot on this more
or less gray world of ours, but. no
where so welcome as in the company
of the Japanese diplomats. It is as
rare and precious as the Japanese
plum blossom opening its rosy eyes
upon a snow-laden branch, so dear
to the heart of the Japanese poet.
Can it be possible that the candor of

Thief Takes Sack While Clerks
Are Unloading Packages From
Tendleton Train.
' . THE DALLES. Or., Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) The contents of one pouch of
mail was stolen here ai 5 o'clock to
night while sacks of mall were being
unloaded from train No. 1. which had
Just pulled into the station from
Pendleton with relayed maif from
Portland. Spokane and eastern points.
Mail -clerks were piling1 mail for
Mosier and Hood River on hand trucks
for storage v( the depot until trains
could carry 'it through.
Just how the theft occurred or how
many persons were implicated is not
known. The pouch was missed after
the trucks had been loaded and a
search was at once started for it.
The-mall sack, slit open as with a
sharp knife, was found empty at the
rear of the passenger station, where
the thief or thieves had scooped out
the contents and escaped.
Further investigation disclosed the
fact that the pouch did not contain
registered mail, and that it was con
signed to Mosier. i Postoffice offi
cials could give no estimate of the
possible loss, although they stated
that it would probably be small. The
police began combing the city for
some trace of the thief, spurred on
by-the standing reward of $5000 which
the government offers for the arrest
and conviction 'of mail robbers.
