TDTE RUXDAT OREGONIAX. PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 10, 1912. 13 ADJUTAr4T-GEriERAL FOR STATE POLICE Work of . National Guard and Naval Militia Covered in Report to Governor. MORE ARMORIES NEEDED General Flnier Recommends Emer gency Fund for CltUen Soldiers, and Erection of State Ar senal at Clackamas. The creation of a police department to have, authority throughout the state is recommended by Adjutant-General Flnzer of the Oregon National Guard in his annual report made yesterday to Governor Weet. He asks that an investigation be made of the state po lice department in Pennsylvania and If found feasible a similar plan worked out for Oregon. General Finser also recommends the establishment of more armories in the state, the creation of an emergency fund for the Guard and the erection of a state arsenal at Clackamas. In his report be sums up the work of the Guard and the Naval Militia during; the last 13 months. In his recommendations regarding the state police department be says: "It is suggested that the matter o the permanent creating of a state po- lice force be investigated and if found feasible a plan similar to that now in force in Pennsylvania be adopted. Men could be selected from among members - of the National Guard and others after passing a physical and mental examin atlon. based upon the standard pro vided by the rules and regulations of the police force of cities of the first class. The members of the police force should be authoriied and empowered to make arrests, without warrant, for all violations of the law which they may witness and to serve and execute war rants issued by the proper local author Itles. They should also be autnorixea to act as forest fire, game and fish wardens, and in general to have the power and prerogatives conferred by law upon members of the police force of cities of the first class, or upon the Constable of the state. The state po lice force should, wherever possible, co-operate with the local authorities in detecting crime and apprehending criminals, and preserving the law and order throughout the state. Pay and rations should be allowed each mem ber of the force and all appointments and promotions should be made abso lutely on' merit. The Governor should aDDoint the superintendent of state po lice, and they should be stationed wherever needed and where most ronomlcal. Have on file additional information on this subject If desired, Stale Aneaal Recommended. "A state arsenal, continues the rec ommendations, "should be permanently established at Clackamas. Or, where all military supplies should be stored. The United States Government has already laid out the grounds and made pre liminary surveys for tue establishment of a brigade camp in- case or war. Twelve- battery horses (purchased out of the maintenance fund, Oregon na tional Guard) are stabled in a barn, also built out of maintenance fund, Oregon National Guard. In order to construct additional buildings an ap propriation should be made by the Leg islature for that special purpose. It Is recommended that the State Board look over the ground in order to ascertain what buildings are needed. The armories so far completed In the ' different localities have proven to be so popular by the general public and such a necessity to the efficient management of the National Guard organizations, that it Is recommended the policy adopted by the Legislature to appro priate $20,000 a year for the construc tion of armories be continued. The matter of caring for property is very important, as large quantities of state and United States property Is issued to companies each year. First-class ar mories will enable the companies to properly care for all equipment. State Should Pay Cash. "Provision should be made by the Legislature or otherwise for the cash payment of supplies purchased for the state. The United States advances money to bonded officers for the pur pose of paying cash fcr certain things prescribed by regulations, thereby sav ing much time consumed in the prep aration and submission of accounts to the Auditor before payment can be made. - The Sate Oregon Is paying too much money for service that can be had cheaper through cash transactions. "I would again call your attention to the fact that the state is not pro vided with an emergency fund. A small tax should be levied to raise a sum of money for any unforeseen emergency that may arise, provided that when the amount so raised reaches the sum of $".0,000 the tax levy oecomes Inopera tive. The State of Pennsylvania has a fund in the State Treasury of $1,000. 000 at the disposal of the Governor In event of an emergency only, and not to bn used for general maintenance of National Guard or Naval forces. . "The appropriation for the Naval Mi litia should be made continuous, and it Is recommended that the amount be fixed at no less than $13,000 a year. The Naval Code should be revised and amendments to the law should be passed by the present Legislature. Financial Statement Furnished.

The State of Oregon was represented at the National matches, held at Camp Perry. O., during- August, 1911. by a rifle team which made a record that was In keeping with the scores here tofore made. The team finished in eleventh place, including all teams, only six state teams finishing ahead of Oregon, the total number participating being 42. In my last report it was shown that 1th money allotted to the State of Oregon by the United States Govern ment for military purposes, a tract of land consisting of 100.04 acres was un- er lease with an option to purcnase and that th land was being cleared as well as a temporary rifle range con structed. Since then a lease has been secured on 96.75 acres additional ground with an option to purchase. This will enable the rifle range to be permanent ly constructed in such a manner as to shoot in a northeasterly direction. It Is earnestly desired to begin the con struction of a permanent range at the earliest possible date. New Ramare Const rueted. A substantial quartermaster and commissary store house, a barn, en listed men s and officers' toilets were constructed, and a modern water sys tern and shower baths were installed. "A new rifle range was constructed near Salem and it is intended to build a new range at Baker, where a splen did site was recently secured. "The enactment of the armory bill continuing the appropriation of $20,000 a year for the construction of armories has enabled the general staff to build an armory at each of the following locations: Dallas. Wood hum and Salem, In addition the contract has been let for an armory at Ashland, and ground Durchased for armory purposes at Roseburar. "In order to complete the Roseburg Armory it will be necessary for the Legislature to make an additional ap propriatlon of at least $15,000. Oregon has. in four years, invested $66,278 and, in return, has accumulated property valued at $128,064.18. "In accordance with recommenda tions received from the War Depart ment. a camp of instruction for in fantry officers and non-commissioned officers was held at the Oregon state ramnrroundi and rifle range at Clack mis. Or.. July 10 to 15. 1911. Captain Qrosvenor I Townsend, First United States Infantry, was designated as tne officer in charge of the camp.

Reporting on the work of the Guard during the year General Flnier says: "The interest In rifle practice in this stato has steadily grown and the result attained is encouraging. Attention Is, however.

The state inspector of rifle practice is at present working out a system to be 'ollowed by regimental inspectors of 1 -'IIS il m mm 1 V 3r' aa MISS DOROTUT LANE. The role of the silly little wife who takes the wrong train with a man who is desperately In love, and finds herself alone with him in a hotel In Paris, cut loose from her traveling companion, when she ought to be with the host of her party on the way to Switzerland, gives Miss Dorothy Lane no end of acting opportunity in "A Butterfly on the Wheel," which Messrs. Shubert and Lewis Waller will present at the Helllg Theater for three nights and special Saturday matinee, begin ning Thursday. November 14. A few months later comes the accurate and now famous divorce trial scene. Its aim is to show one little wisp of a woman bullied and cross-examined and racked by a crowd of men. The scene is filled ith men. There are men on all sides and of all shades of importance. And there In the witness box stands the poor little defendant, who is asked the usual merciless questions in tha usual merciless way. At its close she can see for herself that everything is against her, though she knows that she is Innocent. The play comes with an all-English cast of Mr. Waller's selection, direct from one whole season in New York, and the same record in London. by model company, practical Instruc tion in care of rifle, instruction in paper work, tactical walks, the training and instruction of recruits, preparation of field orders, troop leading problem on war game map, pitching tent camp, instruction in the use of the rationtalk on position, offensive and defensive, use of cover, method of reinforcing the firing line, camp sanitation, method of cooking and serving, war game, method of packing wagons, pitching camp. "The attendance of officers was good and the interest manifested was satis factory. It was the consensus of opinion among the officers who were present that the knowledge gained was of considerable value and the amount of money expended for this camp was well invested. "On Invitation of the War Department, and at the expense of the Federal Gov ernment 20 officers were detailed to participate in the work of the maneu ver division of the Army, near San Diego. Cal. The officers were divided into four details of about the same size, and reports of each of these officers covering their observations have been filed in this office, and copies furnished the War Department. The opportunity thus given for close observation, of the Army will result in great good to the National Guard."

Prettyman, Defendant, Pro duces Character Witnesses and Plaintiff Declared Obnoxious. Less than 60 minutes from the time It retired for deliberation yesterday Jury returned to Judge McGinn's court verdict finding G. B. Prettyman, su perintendent of the Medical building. not guilty of assault and battery on Dr. Marie D. Equi In an encounter in the Medical building on the night of May 17. Trettyman was discharged at once by Judge McGinn and his bonds men exonerated. The defense yesterday put in con stderable testimony In support of the contention that Dr. Equi had made her self obnoxious to Prettyman, and had done many things to pester and aggra vate him. Prettyman swore that on the night of the fracas he found Dr. Equi In the reception room of Dr. S. J. Barber, from whose rooms he had pre viously been given strict instructions to keep any and all persons during the doctor's absence. He declared that he had used no more force than was nec essary to eject, but said that Dr. Equi and Dr. Bessie M. Gardner, her com panion, had put up a stiff fight. Dr. Equi had Introduced a shirt waist torn almost to Bhreds in the struggle. Against this the defense submitted tes timony showing that Prettyman's vest had been torn in two, indicating that there had not been lamblike submls slon to election on the part of the women. Dr. Ben L. Norden, Dr. Alvin W. Baird, Dr. J. H. Bristow. Dr. Arthur H. Johnson and other doctors were called to testify that Prettyman has good reputation for peace and quiet ness. Another witness testified that the iron gate at the head of the stairs, which Dr. Equi and Dr. Gardner said had prevented them walking down the stairs when there was no response to their persistent ringing of the elevator bell, may be opened from above but not from below. Prettyman and his wit nesses also Insisted that the ringing of the elevator bell and the dropping of eggs on the floors were done with malicious intent When the elevator responded, they said, the women would dodge around the. corner ana taunt them.

The Manufacturers Association has interested Governor West In the movement, and he has is sued a proclamation calling upon the people of Oregon to observe Thursday November 21, as "Home Industries day." This proclamation is as follows "Whereas, The growth and prosperity of a state depend to a great extent upon its manufacturing industries, for the reason that the factory converts the raw material of the forest and stream and farm and mine into prod ucts of higher value, giving employ ment to thousands who would other wise have no means of livelihood, and, Whereas, It is only by arousing the people to the importance of creating and patronizing home industries that we can hope for success along these Short. snaDDV addresses will be the lines; order of the evening, 10 minutes being "Therefore, In view of the foregoing PORTLAND BUSINESS MAN WEDS ASHLAND GIRL AT OREGON HOTEL. liSSSiililtl SSliS "-'-' f - J. - k MR AND MRS.

"To make this day an Impressive ob ject lesson to the whole state there should be some concerted action toward increasing the demand for 'Oregon made', products. To this end I would suggest that every manufacturing es tablishment in the state close down for an hour during Home Industries day, and the managers call their employes together and give them a heart to heart talk on the importance of building up our home industries and set an example by declaring their intention to use, as far as practicable, only home-growri products and home-made machinery In their establishments. "I would suggest, also, that on Home Industries day every man and woman in Oregon, In doing their shopping, pur chase only 'Made in Oregon' products.1 Merchants snouia help by making at tractive window displays of such products, "I would also suggest that the sub ject be discussed in our public schools and institutions of learning, in or dot that it may be impressed on the minds of the youngi for the time will come when these same children must have employment, and unless they can find it with the industries of our state they must seek It in other states.
