1922.
"Our witnesses f. ' down on us,"
declared Mr. Flegei.
Attorney McCamant flayed the ac
cusers for "lacking in chivalry that
should exist even in controversies."
"This is a dragnet prosecution," de.
ciared Mr. McCamant, "when eonspir-

"The real fact is that on this night
there wan a. meetinsr nf thm Insurance
Men's federation at the Multnomah
hotel and the conspirators hoped to
be abie to find one or two who at
tended the meeting and would stand
by the charges. They failed. It is
a fine procedure, to make the charges
and then go out and try to find the
evidence later."
Harry Stanton First Witness.
Tiie first witness called was Harry
L. Star.ton. who recently was dis
charged (rom the police bureau after
being found guilty of having been in
toxicated on duty. He testified that
on December 4, 1921. or on the night
of tne General Cigar store fire, he of
fered Chief Young, who was in civil
ian clothes, an automobile ride from
I'nion avenue and took him to the
fire.
H.c was intoxicated at that time,"
the witness .testified. "At the fire
he gave his orders unusually loud."
Under cross-examination, Stanton
declared that he carried Chief Young
to about Twenty-fourth and Everett
streets, while the General Cigar store
fire was at Fifth and Everett streets.
Fire Marshall Grenfell was called
to the stand late in the afternoon.
He denied that he had taken any part
in "working up" the case against
Chief Young, maintaining that he
was attending only to his own af
fairs. "How do the fire losses under the
regime of Chief Young compare with
fire losses in the past," asked Attor
ney Flegei.
Objection was immediately entered
by Attorney McCamant, who said that
if an increase in fire losses was to
be used as the basis of removing the
chief, a decrease in bank deposits in
Portland might also be attributed to
him. The objection was sustained.
Morale Held Not Good.
The morale of the bureau Is not as
good as in the past, according to the
testimony given by Fire Marshall
Grenfell.
"To what do you attribute this
condition?" he was asked.
"To the rumors that have been cir
culated by the grapevine,' " he an
swered. "We are not here to listen to ru
mors. Chief Grenfell," declared Com
missioner Bigelow. "We want facts."
"Well, the "men in the department
have been talking about Chief Young
doing this and that and it's not very
good."
"Did you ever call these rumors to
the attention of the commissioner in
charge of the bureau?" asked Mayor
Baker.
"No, I don't believe that I did," an
swered the fire marshal. "Shortly
after John Young became chief, we
failed to agree on some small mat
ters, and I suggested we go to the
commissioner. We did and he told
us to co-operate and get along, and
since that time I have paid strict at
tention to my own affairs."
On direct examination. Fire Mar
shall Grenfell declared that every
thing that he heard against Chief
Young was hearsay, and that he could
not say that he had ever seen Chief
Young intoxicated on duty.
"I never saw him intoxicated and
I never smelled liquor on his breath,"
said Grenfell.
TTnder cross-examination Fire Mar
shal Grenfell admitted that he didn't
like Chief Young and Chief Young
didn't like him. Attorney McCamant
also drew an admission from this
witness that he had interviewed one
of the prosecution witnesses in ref
erence to the present hearing.
The marshal declared that the men
in his office were not active against
Fire Chief Toung, but that the men
throughout the bureau were against
the chief.
Arthur Jones, vice-president of
the First National bank, testified
that he had spoken to a sister or
Miss Sumerlin, who was booked
as one of the chief witnesses of the
alleged party in the Clyde hotel, and
advised her not to permit her sister
to testify because of embarrassment
to the family.
Mr. Jones admitted that several
persons had spoken to him in refer
ence to the case, including Chief
Young.
"But I spoke to the sister because
I did not want to see the family name
drawn into the case," testified Mr.
Jones.
thief's Presence Is Denied.
Ted Langford, in whose room the
alleged party of men and women was
supposed to have been held last July,
denied that Chief Young was present
in the room while the women were
there. Strenuous effort was made by
the prosecution to force the witness
to admit that the defendant had been
there, but the attempts failed.
Rice G. Montague, fireman, who
was ousted by charges made by Chief
Young, began to testify concerning
an alleged drinking "bout" in which
he said Chief Young and he had en
gaged in 1916. The evidence was
ruled out. On cross-examination
Montague admitted that he was "sore
at Chief Young because he cut me out
of the department."
Ed Campbell, local representative
of the Stuts Fire Equipment company,
testified that he had seen Chief
Young under the influence of liquor
twicer once at Corvallis last July,
wnue me state lire cnteis conven
tion was in progress, and again in
Victoria, B. C, while fire chiefs were
attending a coast convention.
"I guess I'd better leave or they'll
have me in this next," declared
Mayor Baker, who had been. called to
the telephone at that moment.
Mr. Campbell testified that he
heard of the alleged party at the
Clyde hotel and reported to Commis
sioner Bigelow, who on the day fol
lowing, according to his testimony
told him that a report had been -tained
on the party.
Commissioner Bigelow. sitting as
the judge in the hearing, denied that
he had made such a statement to
Campbell.
"Chit-i Yi,un has preferred other!
types of apparatus to yours, liu b j
not?" asked Attorney 'McCamant.
"I have heard that he had," an
swered the witness.
"As a result of this, you bear no
malice toward Chief Young?" the at
torney asked.
"No, indeed," the witness returned?
Fred B. Day, an inspector in the
fire marshal's office, whom testimony
of several witnesses during the day
proved had joined Inspectors Pulien
and MacFarland in working up the
case against Chief Young, testified
that he had seen Chief Young under
the influence of liquor at two fires
that of the Endicott Paper company
fire and that of the United Motor
Bus company.
Oath Declined by Witness.
The witness would not swear that
Chief Young was intoxicated on either
occasion, but said that he appeared
to be under the influence of liquor.
At one fire, he said, Chief Young ap
peared to be unsteady on his feet,
and at the other, he declared, he
Day admitted under cross-exarnina- j
ticn that he had been working with I
Attorneys Klepper and Flegei In in- j
terviewing proposed witnesses. j
And some of the witnesses that
ycu interviewed have not been sum
moned," said Attorney McCamant.
"Well, I don't know," said Day.
Elmer Curtis and L. A. Wilkinson,
both of whom had been waiters in
Bab's restaurant on or about January
1, 1921, when it , was charged that
Chief Young was in the restaurant in
an intoxicated condition and wherein
he was said to have used vile and
indecent language, were called.
Neither of the men would testify
that Chief Young was Intoxicated and
both said that he had not taken any
drinks of intoxicants in the restau
rant. It developed that several of the
men at the table where Chief Young
was seated were boisterous, but fur
ther than this no direct evidence pur
pjrting to show misconduct on the
part of Chief Young was given.
Fireman's Wife Is Called.
Claim that Chief Young, prior to
the time that he became chief, fre
quently visited the home of Harry
Wright, a fireman, to get drinks of
nome brew was made by Mrs. Harrv
Wright. Harriet Wright, 13-year-old
daughter, was called to the stand to
testify against the chiefs conduct
three years ago, but she said that
she had usually retired when Chief
young called.
Mrs. Alice Moser, who had been a
neighbor of the Wrights, testified
that many parties were held in the
Wiight home and that she saw Chief
Young enter and leave the house on
numerous occasions. Sine could not
testify that he had been present at
any of the parties which had created
a disturbance in the neighborhood.
Seneca Fouts, Portland attorney,
caused a genuine stir when Attorney
Fiegel, who had summoned him as
a witness for the prosecution, at
tempted to shut out his testimony.
Attorney Fouts testified that on
Wednesday or Thursday of last week
several attorneys were in conference
in his office, one of whom had been
drinking. Chief Young entered the
reception room, waiting to see A. F.
Knight, an attorney who has rooms
in the suite.
"John Young stepped into the office
for a few minutes, not more than five
minutes," testified Mr. Fouts. "We
told him that we were for him. One
of the attorneys present, who has an
unusually loud voice, complimented
Chief Young on his rise in the fire
department. He told Chief Young
that he had known him since his boy
hood days and had never known any
thing against his character in all that
time. This whole affair brought
against Chief Young is a dirty out
rage." Attorney Then Summoned.
- Attorney Knight was then sum
moned and he testified that he had
spoken to Chief Young for a number
of minutes.
Had he been drinking?'" asked
Fiegel.
"He had not," answered the wit
ness. "I don t drink liquor myself
and if he had had anything I would
have smelled it.
After Herman ErJman, a fireman.
had driven a five-ton pumper over
some hose Chief Young called him a
fool, according to his testimony.
Was there any other profanity?"
asked Milton Klepper, one of the pros
ecutors. Yes," the witness said. "I called
him some names that I would not
like to repeat here."
The only testimony that Albert
Teague, another fireman, offered
against Chief Young was that at the
Endicott Paper comnanv. fire Chief
Young ordered him to leave the build
ing and get a pike pole to break down
some windows. In giving the order
the fire chief was charged with hav
ing used a profane phrase.
-the rest of the witnesses called by
the accusers were officers who in the
main gave testimony relating to the
present morale of the bureau. Some
maintained that it was lower than it
had ever been, while others testified
that they had no general knowledge.
but that it was good in the companies
tney commanded.
It was brought out in this testi
mony that firemen under former ad
ministrations had been permitted to
do as they chose at fires, but that
under Chief Young the firemen were
required to work under orders.
It wfcs also shown that Chief Young
is a strict disciplinarian and demands
that his men have a neat appearance
at all times and that they follow
orders from their strperiors at a fire.
It is expected that the hearing will
consume all of tpday, although there
is a slight possibility that it can be
concluded by 'ate tonight.

C1P LEWIS TROOPS
TO BE SCATTERED
Cantonment to Be Used for
Training Post Only.
NEW ORDER IS ISSUED
Caretaker Detachment to Be Sole
Residents, According to War
Department Order.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April' 20.
Decision to withdraw from the can
tonments at Camp Lewis, Wash., and
Camp Dlx, N. J., the troops composing
the divisions now stationed at those
posts, and to scatter the units in the
permanent army posts within the
two corps areas, has been- reached by
the war department. The decision
was made in connection with a pro
longed study of the distribution of
the regular army on a basis to pro
vide at the same time for economy of
operation and efficiency in training.
The two cantonments which are to
be thus evacuated will be retained
for training and storage purposes.
but with only caretaking detach
ments quartered at the posts.
"The decision has been reached to
distribute the regular army so as to
retain at least a division in the Sec
ond, Eighth and Ninth corps areas

areas a reiiuorueu ungbut;.
Reduction Causes Change.
It was pointed out that the reduc
tion of the regular army from 280,-
000 men to the present 150,000 author
ised strength was made last year just
before the training season began for
the reserve and the civilian military
training camps. This prevented a dis
tribution of the reduced army on a
basis that would satisfy to the great
est possible extent the demands upon
the army, it was said, and the pres
ent policy had been worked out after
full study and in the light of a year's
eiperience.
It had been found, the memorandum
said, that the personnel available to
maintain definite training centers in
each corps areas was inadequate. The
now policy is intended to make the
entire army available for that work
and to reduce the cost of transporta
tion of reservists in the larger corps
areas through localization of training
and employment of the old posts.
Upkeep Cost Prohilbtlve.
"Deterioration at the war-built can
tonments had been so great that the
upkeep cost was becoming prohibi
tive," the memorandum continued, and
living conditions for the troops there
so unsatisfactory "that difficulty has
been found in obtaining men to fill
the organizations at certain stations."
Units of the 3d division at Camp
Lewis will remain unassigned so that
they may be reassembled on short
notice.
Details of the distribution of force
involved have not been completed, as
they are to some extent dependent
upon action of congress on the total
army strength next year. The break

Federal Authorities Wreck Plans
of Mr. and Mrs. A. Kajinia
by Criminal Charges.
There promises to be very com
plete disruption of the honeymoon
made plans of A. Kajima and his
bride, who came across the Pacific
soon after their marriage with the
idea of entering and making their
home in the United States. Kajima
was arrested early this week while
the steamer Ginyo Maru was in Port
land in connection with possible fraud
in evading customs on silks. He was
taken from the boat and was held
here.
Meanwhile the young bride con
tinued on the Ginyo Mara to Los
Angeles, where she proposed to land
and await her husband. But Kajima
has now been arrested on a charge of
entrusting obscene postcards to the
United States mails and was held for
the federal grand jury. If Kajima is
indicted and convicted of this of
fense, which constitutes a felony, the
pair's plans for entering the United
States are frustrated.
Down at Los Angeles, according to
Immigration Inspector Bonham. the
federal authorities cannot permit the
bride to land because of the felony
charge preferred against her husband
since iier departure from Portland.
Just what to do with the young wife
is a puzzle federal authorities at the
California port are wrestling with.
