OFFICIAL SECRETS LEAK Violent Civilian Socialists Apparent ly Learn "In-side" Military and Naval Information Loyal Soldiers In Peril. BT WrLL Q. MAC KAB. - FORT STEVENS, Or.. July 13. (By i. staff correspondent) Not all mem bers of the I. "W. W. are soap box rant ers, hurling Insults at the American the affairs of the Astoria local of So cialists. He is an ex-sold!er and is known to have been active in spread ing Socialistic doctrine among, the en listed men. Fogel, although under sus picion of having used the post tele phone for the purpose of keeping men In Astoria in touch with the investiga tion going- on at the fort, is still In his tailorshop at the Post Exchange. His record is being scrutinized care fully. - The reading public is more or less familiar with what has been going on at Fort Stevens, yet a brief history will not be remiss. It may not be generally known, but the real beginning of the outbreak at the Army post was when Sergeant Leary, of the Ninety-third, left at almost every saloon at Ham mand a seditious circular, attacking the Government whose Constitution be had taken an oath to uphold. News of Sergeant Leary 8 activity reached the ears of his commanding officer. Charges were preferred against Sergeant Leary. They were sent to San Francisco for approval. They 'were approved, but before these papers could reach Fort Stevens, In fact the very day these pa pers were mailed in San Francisco, Sergeant Leary deserted, and all ef forts made to locate him since have been futile. Underground Methods Learned. Being the beginning of the trouble, the first Drying: of the lid to the gigan tic I. W. W. plot to disorganize and demoralize the Army and Navy, was also the first intimation that the I. TV. W. plotters had found a method where by they were kept in touch, with all ARE FACTOR Seaside Fair Sex Do Much to Improve Community.

Women's influence has figured largely In the work of the Seaside Clvio Im provement Club, which has been re sponsible for many of the recent enter prises for the betterment of Seaside. About half of the members of the club are women and the offices in it are equally divided among men and women. It was organized April 13 and launched into activity in public affairs on May MISSING FORT STEVENS SOLDIERS WHO ARE LISTED AS DESERTERS. s... Pi J 4 if , - - III w ' ' if ' -S AC .

Some are soldiers wearing Uncle Sam's uniform, giving voice to their seditious mouth ings. cursing commanding officers be hind their back,1 assaulting those whom they cannot coerce, bribing others into deserting ' and dishonoring the flag which, upon their oath, they have sworn to respect and uphold. A murder is also to be credited to them or their sympathizers. All the troubles which . have taken place at Fort; Stevens for months past are due to the I. W. W. A close analy sis .of the circulation of seditious lit erature around Army posts, especially around Fort Stevens, brings. Into con sideration the murder of Private Craw ford, the assaults, the series of deser tions and the arrests of other soldiers, held under the suspicion that they know more about the death of Craw ford than they have told. Army Ranks Infested. These circumstances, connected with the evident leak in the handling of official communications: the fact that I. TV. TV. members living at Astoria are kept fully informed concerning every mors made by Lieutenant-Colonel Straub and his officers who are in vestigating affairs at the fort, and that both the telegraph and telephone wires are being used there for the trans mission of this information, all go to show that I. TV. TV. workers, both with in and without the military reservation, while they absorbed the attention of the public by their street-corner ora tory, are, mole-like, sending their agents and having them enlist in the Army with but one purpose in view that of disorganization. Added to this is the recent discovery of a cabin, far back in the woods of the military reservation. This cabin, it- has been learned, was the place where I. TV. TV. and the destructive ele ment of the Socialist party from Ham mond and Astoria, met the soldier members of their organization. Here was read the Appeal to Reason and the weekly Socialist paper pub lished at Astoria and other inflamma tory pamphlets inciting riot and sabo tage. Near this cabin was found a piece of paper, evidently torn from a newspaper and evidently sent from the coal fields of TVest Virginia, November 17, 1912. The scrap reads: "We mean to save these men. and if we fail, well,' our membership Is 1,150, 000. We shall go after their scalps, de stroy the profits, destroy wages, destroy the shareholders, the employers. Our army will gather In the fruits of real victories. So let the employers beware. If they want blood,- very well, they shall have it. We are masters of the situation. We are the force, the final argument. "Let them tremble. We are out for their scalp and mean to bring them home. At last their is a militant labor organization in this country. Civiliza tion is a lie. What is more civilized than to spike the guns when they are trained on. our brothers?" Secret Service Man "Spotted." This is a' sample of the literature which is finding its way into the Army posts of the American Army. There has been a secret service operative on the ground at Fort Stevens. He had no more than stepped into the compound than it was tipped off by the post wire that one of Uncle Sam's sleuths was on the Job. He was an agent who had been on duty at San Francisco and was recognized on sight. There may have been other secret service operatives on the Job, but I know this one was here and that he was recognized. I know first hand from a soldier who knew the man. This is only another proof of how well the underground system is keeping In touch with things that are going on. There is a civilian tailor named Fogel who is attached to the Post Exchange, whose Socialistic views are well known. He was arre3ted on the orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Straub, but was subse quently released. Fogel- has been and ia very active in secrets transacted by the War Depart ment, especially when It came to Army posts. On the heels of Sergeant Leary's taking "French leave" other soldiers, posing as socialists, but also I. W. W.'s, became bold and began making sedi tious talk. Reports of these seditious talks by certain soldiers, who were then openly proclaiming themselves socialists, was brought to Lieutenant-Colonel Straub. He was informed on May 4 that Adjutant-Clerk Waldo Coffman, now under arrest for -violating article. 62 of-the Articles of War and not for being a socialist, had offered an insult to the flag. In that he had made disrespect ful statements concerning the -character of the late Vice-President Sherman. Coffman was arrested -and has -heen un der arrest since. . Private Admits Creed. " This arrest did not take place until after Lieutehant-Colonc-I Straub had discovered on a list which he had be fore' him that the names of Coffman and a private named Cameron, both of whom were attached to headquarters, were in a position to gain inside infor mation as to what was going on through official branches of the Army. Private Cameron admitted when brought before Lieutenant-Colonel Straub that he believed in strikes and that he believed in. violence under cer tain conditions. The arrest and confinement - of Pri vate Coffman, who admits he is a "red flag" socialist, and who is a member of the Astoria local, was the signal for socialists, both in the Army, Hammond and Astoria, to set up a cry that Pri vate Coffman was arrested because he was a socialist, and, keeping back the truth, that he was arrested for making a vulgar remark as to what he, Coff man, would not . do with the American flag. ' . After days of close investigation, after heart-to-heart talks with men living both in Hammond- and Astoria and with civilians working within the military reservation, socialists and non-socialists, there was but one con clusion to be reached. That was while we have been listening to the mouth ings of the I. W. W. soap-box orator, the higher ups have selected a class of men, made dangerous by a little edu cation, and have -urged them to Join the Army and Navy so they could spread the doctrine of discontent and opposition when the bayonets of " the Government are directed against riot ers and sabotage. The truth of this statement is apparent in the series of crimes, bribes, coercion and desertion which has occupied the attention of the officers in command at Fort Ste vens since the first arrest was made in man case. Summary of Kventa Given. Here is a brief summary of events which have taken place at Fort Stev ens since the arrest of Sergeant -Leary for distributing seditious literature in all of the saloons but one in Hammond: Sergeant Leary was arrested for this, but on account of certain Government red tape, charges could not be brought against him until they had been for warded to the Department of the Pa cific at the Presidio, to be approved or rejected. In the Leary case these charges were approved. Here is the first evidence that I. W. TV. Socialists were on the Job. Leary was known among the so-called instructive So cialists as a ranting, violent speech making Socialist of the I. W. W. type. Linking the date of the signing of these papers at the headquarters at San Francisco and the date upon which Sergeant . Leary deserted or disap peared, is the first evidence of a leak In the transmission of official busi ness in army circles. It is believed by the officers at the fort that Leary was tipped off to the fact that charges made against him had been approved and that he would be arrested and, having the advanced inside information furnished him by the I.- W. W.'s con nected with headquarters .at the--Pre-sido, he took tme by the forelock and fled. Another connecting link, which goes to show that assaults and coercion were not new methods used against a wit ness who refused to "listen to reason," is the attempted assault made upon Private Jensen a week ago last Thurs day. Private Jensen, before coming to Fort Stevens, was stationed at the Pre sidio. While there ho was a witness in a case similar to the one going on now at Fort Stevens. He testified after being warned, and several days later he was severely assaulted and was con fined in the hospital. . Blood and other evidences of a struggle were found eventually. It 2, when an annual "clean-up day" was held. Stores and business houses were closed and in a meeting at the close of the day, the Improvement Club was formally substituted in Seaside for the commercial organization, which had gone out of existence with the fire soms months before. Since that time the young organization has pursued a most energetic career. Slogan 1m Adopted. "Seaside, the 'Atlantic City' of the Pactfio Coast," is the official slogan which has been adopted and the aim of the organization is to raise Seaside to first place among the Summer resorts of the Coast. The first step in this direction was In the completion of the publtc restroom for tourists about two weeks ago. Restrooms, reading-rooms, checkrooms, a nursery and everything else that can be of best service to' tourists visiting Seaside have been embodied i:i this new institution. The committee now plans a motor boat canal to Astoria, so that Seaside may be placed on watergrade com munication with the whole Columbia basin and can ba readily reached by motor-boat run from Portland or other points. Boulevard Is Planned. A driveway to be known as the "Ocean Boulevard" is planned to run from Tillamook Head to Fort Stevens, a distance of 18 miles. Substantial sub scriptions have been raised already for the enterprises which the club has in view. President of the club Is George Shaver; vice-president, Mrs. A. S. Fos ter; treasurer, V. N. Spurgeon. and secretary. Mrs. G. M. Grimes. The ex ecutive board is composed equally of men and women. The club has arranged to affiliate with the Oregon Develop ment League. E. N. TVeinbaum, with the promotion bureau of the Portland Commercial Club, while In Seaside on his honeymoon last month, took an ac tive interest in the work of the club and was to a large degree instrumental in bringing about the affiliation with the state organization. HEZ PERCES INCREASING GROWTH rV NTMBEKS SHOIVN FOR, FIRST TI3IE. Government Official Attrlbntes Gain to Campaign Against Disease and Liquor. A LEWISTON. Idaho, July 12. (Spe cial.) For the first time in the re corded history of the Nez Perce In dian tribe, the Government's census this year will show an increase in their numbers, according to O. H. Lipps, who has supervision of all the Indian reservations in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana. "This Is due," says Mr. Lipps, "trt the campaign made by the Government agents in home sanitation, suppression of the liquor traffic and the promo-, tlon of out-of-door activities and in dustrial pursuits. We now feel that our efforts to eradicate the white plague and other diseases which have caused a deterioration of the Nez Perces Is not without avail. We will continue It in the hope of bringing them up to a high plane. "I am elated to see that the Gov ernment has appropriated for the first time- a sum of $100,000 for the pro motion of Indian agriculture. - This sum will be utilized to employ farm experts and assist the Indians in till ing their farms and tracts better." . To assist the Indians In settling cases pending, effecting the determina tion of heirs of deceased allottees, the Government recently appropriated a. sum of. $50,000. Coal Vein to Be Developed. CENTRALIA, Wash., July 1-'. (Special.) Following the discovery this week of a 12-foot vein of coal four miles south of Wlnlock, steps are al ready -being taken toward the devel opment of the strike. Senator J. E. Veness is behind the company which" is being organized to work the strike. The opening of the mine will mean a substantial addition to Winlock"s payroll. (Concluded on Pace 10.)
