THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 7, 1909. 8 FOURTH FA TRY TO LOSE IDENTITY Will Be Transferred to Coast Artillery Service Within Next 60 Days. NO FUNDS CAUSE CHANGE To Maintain Fourth, Four More Companies Must Be Recruited in Southern Oregon and Cost I. Too Great. Transfer of the Fourth Oregon In fantry into the Coast Artillery Service of the state is the radical change In the Oregon National Guard that is to be made necessary within the next 60 days. The regimental identity of the com mand will have to be destroyed and the right Southern Oregon Infantry com panies will each receive a separate des ignation in the. Coast Artillery. This change, which has been in con templation for several years, since the new military bill regulating the Na tional Guard went into effect, has been found necessary by the general staff on account of shortage of funds for maintenance. In order to maintain the Fourth Regiment it Is necessary to or ganize four additional companies of in fantry at Southern Oregon points. The expense of organization would be ap proximately JlD.ooo, and the cost of maintenance an even larger amount every year. A year ago ine War Department sent out an edict tht all Guard regiments must be organized on the name lines as the regular Army. It was directed that no further allowances from the Federal Government would be given states which failed to make the required im provements. The edict found many states in a position which it was im possible to remedy on short notice. Pressure was brought to bear on Con gress and additional time was given in which to perfect the organization. Fourth Can't Be Saved. Since then every effort has been put forth to save the Fourth Regiment. But the general staff, which controls the affair of the Oregon National Guard, has been unable to devise means to finance four additional companies. Officers and men of the regiment have been consulted, and while there has de veloped a marked aversion to the heavy artillery, yet the majority of sentiment sems to favor that change, it is said. While official action will not be taken until the January meeting of the general staff. It Is known that there Is no alternative. The annual appropria tion Is $45,000. and, with constantly growing demands for expenditures. rigid economy has to be practiced with the present 18 companies. With four more companies, ends wouldn't meet, so It lias been figured. Pressure has been brought by the Na tional Government to have, the regi ment thrown into the Coast Artillery reserre. For the past three years the War Department has been sending fre quent communications to Adjutant General Flnzer. urging organization of artillery reserves for use in support of the fortifications at the mouth of the Columbia River. In response to that wish, one company has already been organized at Astoria. Shortage of funds has prevented additional com panies, however, although one has long been in contemplation at Marshfield. Help Columbia River Forts. Transfer of the Fourth Regiment to the Artillery Service will do much to solve the problem of sufficient men for the Columbia River forts, it is said. In the Fourth there are 400 officers and men, a much larger force than Is kept by the Army in the coast garrisons. These supplemental troops can be thrown into the forts in a few days notice, and. working side by side with the trained regulars, can pick up the work in a short time. This was dem onstrated in the coast-defense maneu vers at the mouth of the Columbia in 1007. An additional advantage is that the senior officers will remain in the serv ice with their respective ranks, where as, in the event the regiment was con verted into separate companies of in fantry, or even Into a separate battal ion, practically all the headquarters of ficers would be thrown out. Colonel George O. Yoran, of -Eugene, win be transferred to the Artillery service with his present rank, it is un drstood. The same is true of Major Frank B. Hamlin, of Rosburg. and Major C. C- Hammond, of Eugene. It is possible that several of the staff offi ' rers will have to go, but that detail has not yet been considered and will not ' be until the next meeting of the gen era staff. The change, according to the law in : volved, must.be effected not later than 1 January .1. Several minor changes ; will likewise have to be made in the oraanliation of the Third Infantry. of Police Co ordered an Investigation Into the case yesterday afternoon shortly after Lytle breach of discipline' had taken place in the" police station. Sergeant Smith and Patrolman Lytle met in the station, many witnesses saying that Lytle was under the influence drink. Smith told Lytle that charges would be preferred against him and asked him to leave his star at the Cap tain's desk: This Lytle refused to do and cursed the sergeant. Lytle defied Smith and left the place vowing that he had a "pull" 'with Police Commissioner and would return shortly and make things warm for Berg eant Smith. Lytle did not return. Ac cording to statements made by Sergeant Smith. Ill feeling has existed on Lytle part for a number of days. Lytle re ported absent one day not long ago on the plea of illness. Sergeant Smltn who was sent to Investigate the case, re ported that he had visited the Lytle home and had found the policeman very muc intoxicated instead of being ill. Lytle was recently transferred from pa trol duty to duty with the river patrol boat under Captain Speier, harbormaster, and since that time has been doing duty mostly In plain clothes.

In taking the office Friday night he said: "I had thought of retiring and turning the responsibility and care of this office over to some one else, but as we are in the midst of a tight for the Broadway bridge, retirement at this time would look like shirking the work that is still before the association. Besides, the ref erences made to me the past few days In the public press are of such a nature that I could hardly consistently "retire 'under fire." We have a great deal of work to do. both in getting the Broad way bridge and other things for the Bast Side. "I think it would be safe to say that this association has been an Important factor in affairs of the East Side for the past two years.

WRIGHT OUTLINES REFORMS Township Jiule, County Purchasing Agent, Abolition of Constables and Taking Tax Department From Sheriff Are All Discussed. That the present system of county government is extravagant, wasteful unnecessarily expensive to the taxpay ers and ought to be changed, was th sweeping declaration of R. C. Wright I his address yesterday afternoon before the open meeting of Evening Star Grange, on Section Line road- Mr. Wright had been assigned to apeak on the topic "County Govern ments and How They May Be Im proved," and he covered the subject exhaustively. He gave a history of county and township governments, and pointed out the advantages of township government, as the method by which there can be local home rule and by which the people can keep in close touch with county affairs, declaring that under the present method the ordi nary citizen has little to do with county affairs and that his wishes are either ignored or entirely negleteted. Mr, Wright pointed out that In this state the way was clear to adopt township local government. In discussing the county governmen he showed the weaknesses of the pres ent method, referring to Multnomah County. There was, ie said, no show lng of assets, no general business meth ods used in the purchase of supplies that any successful business firm or railroad corporation would not employ such loose methods, and it was a won der the taxpayers had not rebelled long ago. He said in iiultnomah County there is a law which practically re quires payment of 124 cents a meal for prisoners, which has doubled the cost of keeping prisoners. In the mat ter of assets there is no showing, he declared, and, although hundreds of miles of line county roads have been built out of the product of Kelly Butte quarry, yet the rigures might Indicate the plant there is operated at a loss. Mr. Wright recommended and urged that the Grange undertake to secure legislation to establish township gov ernment, create the office of state Au ditor. county purchasing agent of ap proved business ability, consolidation of the offices of Coroner ana county Fnysi clan, taking away from the Sheriff the present duty of collecting the taxes, consolidation of the ohlces or Municipal Judge and Justices of the Peace in the former office, and doing away with Con stables and placing their duties on the police: consolidation or the city ana county government, and establishment of the. Torrens system of registering land titles. Resolutions governing these and other changes were read by Mr. Wright and discussed, but the master of the Grange, J. J. Johnson, held the topics too important and the changes too sweeping for the Grange to pass on without full Investigation, although he said he .approved of many of the changes suggested. Eugene Palmer, of the State Grange, spoke briefly, and it was decided to submit the changes to a special committee for consideration. William H. Sweet spoke on The Sci- entilic Evaporation of Fruits," explain ing how the product of the farm may be preserved at small cost. Mrs. E. A. Niblin conducted a short programme ap propriate to Ceres. The exercises were interesting and instructive, and were heard by a large audience. Mrs. H. L. Vail, lecturer, was in charge. It was announced that in the December meet ing the birthday of the Patrons of Hus' bandry would be celebrated. DECKHAND'S BODY FOUND Unidentified River Victim Picked Vp by Hugh Brady.

FIGHT ENDS SCHOOL GAME XJ. of O. Student and H. M. A. Foot ball IMayer in Mix-up. At the conclusion of the football game yesterday afternoon, at Multnomah Field, between the Hill Military Academy, of Portland, and the Lincoln High School, of Seattle, a fight took place, just out side the grounds, between W. El Graham, one of the players on the Hill Military Academy team, arid a medical student of the University of Oregon. The medical student got away tut Graham was ar rested. He was taken to the police sta tion surrounded by a large crowd. According to a story told among the boys It seems that bad feeling had existed between the military academy and the medical students, as it was thought the medical students were betting on the out-of-town team, which won. Graham de clared he was an innocent victim, that he did not start the fight but that some one, unknown to him, struck the medical student and ran away and that he, be lieving that Graham had struck him, pitched into him. The ease will come up before Judge Bennett Monday. Graham lives at S28 Second street. M'KINLEY FREE AGAIN LAXD-FRAl'D OPERATOR COM PLETES HIS SENTENCE. Takes Pauper's Oath and Escapes - Big Fine Says He Will Join Mother in Wisconsin. OPAL CITV FUTURE METROPOLIS Of Central Oregon See Page 0. Section 4. Horace G. McKinley has atoned for Oregon land frauds in which he partici pated with S. A. D. Puter and others. Yesterday McKinley was released from the County Jail after serving two years less 114 days allowed him for good be havior. By taking the pauper's oath he had his fine of 17600 remitted. When given his freedom McKinley announced to United States Attorney McCourt that he intended to join his mother in Wisconsin, when Marie Ware McKinley, who was indicted with him and who is now his wife, has recovered from a slight illness. It was rumored, however, that McKinley told a friend he intended to engage in selling teakwood in Borneo. McKinley was one of the first victims of the Government probe operated by F. J. Heney. S. A. D. Puter, McKinley, Marie Ware and others conspired to de fraud the Government of Oregon timber lands. They were convicted and Mc Kinley fled to China, where, after a chase of 80,000 miles, he was captured hv Detective Jack Kerrigan, who was especially commissioned by the United Lskirts. States to apprehend tne lugmve. ine Chlnsse government did nat interfere with McKinley's arrest, a though tho treaty with the United States would permit the empire to object. As a result of the investigation of public land matters in this state by Francis J. Heney, McKinley, together with Emma L. Watson, S. A. D. Puter, Marie L. Ware (his present wife), Maud Witt, Frank H. Walgamot. Henry C. Barr and Dan W. Tarpley, was indicted March 17, 1904, in what is known as the famous "11-7" case. The charge was conspiracy to defraud the Government of several thousand acres of land in Linn and Lane Counties. Following his indictment McKinley fled to San Fran cisco and escaped to China. The trial of McKinley and his asso ciates,, of whom Maud Witt and Henry C. Barr were never located by the Gov ernment officials, was held late in the ' year 1904, the jury on December 6 of that year returning a verdict of guilty as to McKinley, Puter, Mrs. Watson and Tarpley. Walgamot pleaded guilty. M.8S Ware, now Mrs. McKinley, was ac quitted at the request of Heney. Mrs. Watson, Walgamot and Tarpley have not been sentenced. Puter was sen tenced to two years in the Multnomah County Jail and to pay a fine of 7500. When he had completed a portion of his sentence Puter was pardoned by Presi dent Roosevelt on December 31, 1907, and discharged. PAY ONLY $15.75.
