- 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

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

flag on the street corners. 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.

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.
