Diggs, ex-state architect, and a man named Kisher, on warrants charging a statu tory offense asalnst 17-year-old Ida Pearring-, was arrested by police de tectives in a hotel here today. Gilllsran told ihe detectives he was Iuke Howe, one of the attorneys who defended Diggs In the United States District Court a few months ago, when the architect was accused of violating the Mann white slave law, but when lie saw his story would not deceive the officers he admitted his identity. GiUig-an would give no information as to the whereabouts of Diggs and Fisher, although he said, he knew where they were. He said Fisher was a married man. Grilllgan is in the wholesale paper business. He said he had been in his room since he learned that a warrant was out for him. New Tear's Tarty Starts Trouble. Gilllgan was drunk when arrested, the police said. He denied having as saulted Miss Poarrlng and said any statement that he or Fisher had at tacked her was false. He admitted he was a member of a New Year's eve party with Diggs. Fisher and Miss l'earring. He said they were at the apartment of Miss Lillian Sullivan, a chorus girl, for a while, and then went to a cafe, where they had several drinks. After Miss Sullivan and one of the male members of the party left the cafe, Gilllgan said, the party troke up, and he and Fisher went away together, after having permitted Diggs and Miss I'earring the use of their room in a hotel. "I don't know anything about what Dlggs did," said Gilllgan, "but I do know that neither Fisher nor I had anything to do with her after she left the cafe." He said New Tear's eve was not the first occasion when Dlggs had met Miss Pearring:. niEsn' Picture Identified. Lillian Sullivan admitted today that she had been a member of the New Year's eve party and she identified Ulggs by a photograph as the man who had been persistent that evening in lils efforts to kiss Miss Pearring. "For God's sake. Maury, let Ida alone," she said she told Dlggs. "You'll find yourself in a peck of trouble." "After that we drank some more," she said today. "Then I saw that Ida was getting too much. I don't like parties where everybody gets drunk, and I told them so. We had some more arguments and then I left, after tell ing Ida to make Dlggs take her home. At that time she was not intoxicated, although she had drunk considerable, and once or twice she almost fainted." She said Miss Pearring went to her room late the next afternoon and told her "she had been through an awful experience," but would not talk further. She said Fisher was not with Diggs when he and Miss Pearring left the cafe. POLICIES IN CONTRAST ARMY A.D SAW APrOIJiTMENTS ON DIFFERENT BASIS. ' Secretary Garrison Ignores Politics, While Secretary Daniels Lets " "Influence" Count. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 31. Politics is playing a smaller figure in the conduct of the War Department at the present time than for a long time past, and poli ticians never in years have been so in fluential in the Navy Department as they are today. This simply Illustrates the difference between Secretary Garri son and Secretary Daniels. The one is running his djpatment on a military basis; the other Is injecting politics at every turn. Secretary Garrison is daily growing less and less popular with Democratic politicians, because he refuses to run military affairs on political advice. Since he became the head of the War Department he has made promotions of officers on merit and on seniority and has refused to make any promotions because of the political backing of offi cers seeking higher rank. This stand has made him immensely popular with the officers of the service, for It has been demonstrated that promotions can be had only on merit. On the other hand. Secretary Daniels has been making promotions in the Navy almost entirely on political in dorsements. Secretary Daniels began by promoting several officers from his own state and with whom he was per sonally acquainted. Then he promoted others who had good Democratic friends In the Senate or House. The conse quence has been that many officers whose service entitled them to promo tion have been overlooked, and the dis cipline of the Navy has been upset. PAY PERIOD TO BE LONGER Settlers on Irrigation Irojects to Have 20 Years Instead of 10. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 31. At a conference be tween Secretary Lane, Representative Sinnott and several other Western Members of Congress today, an agree ment was reached on the bil providing that settlers on Government projects hereafter shall have 20 instead of ten years to pay for water, the Initial pay ment of 5 per cent of the total cost to be ma-le at the time of filing the entry and no further payments to b required for five years thereafter. Details of the bill as to its application to projects which have been entered are to be worked out. The conference is to be resumed next Monday, and at that time Repre sentative Sinnott will urge an amend ment to the bill providing that at the end of 20 years the reclamation fund shall have been so distributed that a majority of the money each state has contributed shall have Keen emended within that state. This virtually re stores to the bill section nine of the original reclamation act, which was repealed two years ago. Mr. Sinnott will make a fight for this amendment on the floor of the House RUB BACKACHE AWAY GET A SMALL TRIAL BOTTLE OF OLD ST. JACOBS OIL. Instant Relief! Bub Soreness, Lame ness, Pain or Lumbago Right Out of Your Back No Waiting. When your back is sore and lame or -lumbago, sciatica or rheumatism has you stiffened up, don't suffer!

FRIENDS FORGIVE FORGER Man Whose Conscience Led Him to Surrender Will' Go Free. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31. Ellwood C. Wil liams, former Councilman of Camden, i. SAN FRANCISCO ARCHITECT WHO IS SOUGHT FOR SEC t OND TIME ON CHARGE MADE BY GIRL. - A - Maury I. DIess. N. J., who surrendered to the police a few days ago and said he was wanted in his- home city for passing three forged checks, will leave for his home probably today or tomorrow a free man. For almost three years Williams tramped from city to city, conscience stricken and longing for a glimpse of his wife and child. Thursday he walked into police headquarters here and told the chief of detectives he could stand the mental torture no longer. He was willing to be taken back to Camden a prisoner and pay the penalty of his crimes. He wanted to see his wife and baby, he said. Last night the police were informed from Camden that Williams had com mitted the forgeries to which he con fessed, but that there was no charge against him, as the persons on whom he passed the checks were his friends and declined to prosecute him.
