NAVAL BOARD IN SESSION
Two Battle Cruisers, Two Dread
nought and 25 Submarines to
Be Built at Once, Accord
ing to Programme.
Washington, Oct. 16. The Admin
lstration programme for National de
fense to be recommended to the forth
coming? session of Oomcress. proposing
total expenditure on the Army and
tne .Navy next year of about $408,000,090,
"was practically completed last night.
Secretary Garrison's plan, approved by
tne President, calls tor an Increase of
J75.090.000 in the War Department's
annual appropriation to be usett for
augmenting the regular Army to 140,
O00 men and the creation of a new con
tinental army of 400,000 men, which.
togeiner with the militia of 125,000,
would give the United States a mili
tary force In time of need of 665.000.
Approval also was given today to
the proposal of Secretary Daniels and
the general board of the Navy for a
live-year naval construction pro
Kramme to cost $500,000,000, giving the
-vy J new dreadnoughts and six
battle cruisers, as well as more than 70
submarines, 60 destroyers, 10 scout
cruisers ana a host of auxiliary ships.
Navy Board Has Late Session.
Secretary Daniels and members of
the general board were in conference
until late tonight, discussing the exact
numoer or snips to be recommended for
the first year and a scheme for equal
izing: the expenditures over the five-
year period. The programme for the
first year which seemed likely of
adoption called for two battle cruis
ers, two dreadnoughts, 25 submarines,
1? destroyers and three scout ships.
At present the Brooklyn Yard Is the
only one equipped to build battleships.
The Navy estimates this year will in
clude provision for construction of
adequate slips at Philadelphia for this
purpose. The slip built at Philadelphia
for construction of a Navy transport
was so designed as to permit its ex
tension. Army Programme Snmmarlied.
Secretary Garrison has carefully
Ruarded his plan for strengthening
the military establishment and or
ganizing a great continental army for
aeiense ana practically nothing was
known of it until tonight. The pro
gramme proposes:
First Regular Army. 140,000 men.
an increase of more than 50,000 men
In the present establishment.
Second A co-ntinental Army, 400,000
strong, enlisted for six years for serv
ice within the continental United
states. . These men would serve, two
month a year for the first three years
with the colors, undergoing a period
or intensive training. A remaining
three years they would be on furlough,
sunject to call in yme or need.
It Is estimated thrtt 40,000 of the 540,
000 men thus provided for would be
non-combatants in the medical corps
or other auxiliary forces not included
In the fighting line.
National Onnrd to Be Strengthened.
Behind this Army would be the Na
tional Guard, now Some 125,000 strong,
but whose numbers might be substan
tfonally augmented by the organization
of the continental Army. The plans
contemplate the transrer of such Na
tional Guard officers and- men as de
fire it into the continental Army, and
more liberal treatment of the guards
men would be nrged and increase of
these state forces encouraged in every
possible way.
Increases in the regular establish
ment contemplated are:
Infantry 10 regiments.
Field artillery four regiments.
Coast artillery 52 companies.
Engineer corps 15 companies.
Aviation corpse two detachments.
All of these new commands would be
organized at peace strength. Adequate
KUIM'lies of small arms and field guns
and howitzers and of reserve ammuni
tion for the enlarged establishment
would be sought.
Citizen Army to Be Basis.
The plan is erected on the theory that
the Nation must depend upon a citizen
Army', largely of a volunteer character.
In time of war. There are many hun
dreds of thousands of young men, it is
said, who have both the time and In
clination to devote at least two months
a year to rigid and intensive military
training, aid the continental Army
would be composed of these, leaving
to the National Guard those citizens
whose responsibilities prevent their de
voting more than one night a week or
so to military service.

BT LEOXB CASS BAER,
OSCAR FIGMAN has not yet taken
'hush money." That is his own
original term for salary as a
motion-picture artist. Not bad. eh?
Also he ia the first actor I have ever
met who has not received fabulous
offers to pose in the movies. "And
why?" I asked. -"Why, nobody asked
tne. sir, she said,'" misquoted the
comedian. "loo see, not one of the big
film concerns has approached me with
flattering offers to immortalize my
classic, not to say classy, outlines on
the screen, and since they do not come
to me, De sure 1 am not going to seek
them out. If I wait for them It means
more money when the call does come.
un, yes. i nave my ear to the ground,
so if they are hunting for me I can
holler."
Seriously, however, if Mr. Figman
wanted to take up the movie work all
he would have to do is to tell big
brother Max about it- Max and his
wife, Lolita Robertson, are big folk in
the picture world you know. And
Max got brother Oscar his very first
job in theatricals.
Max was already established as a
calcium favorite while young- Oscar
was holding down various grand jobs.
First he was an office boy for a big
jewelry concern and for the magnificent
salary of $2 a week he washed $200,000
worth of diamonds every day. "I got
so sick looking at diamonds I quit." he
says.
Then an emporium in fashions called
him and in the women's notions the
Figman artistic temperament simmered,
until a real estate firm recognized
genius in the budding and gave him
a Job real-estating. All this time Oscar
was rehearsing every week with a
young men's dramatic club. They
presented plays even going to such
lengths as writing them as well I
wanted to leave out about his springing
from an amateur dramatin rinh i
seems like encouraging vice. But how
else can I tell the story of Oscar
Figman? He shamelessly admits spring
ing from a dramatic club right into
an important role in his brother's com
pany. And before his first ,.j
ended he had played every role in the
company. "Occasionally I run across
some of my associates in the amateur
art of my real estate davs ana T
at them in amazement.
too many of them hava Vit i-j
fat. smug look," says Mr. Figman
"And their invariable excuse is -Won

don't have time for other things. And
it always makes me sing anew that
old ballad. Gee. but I'm glad I m free.
Mr. Figman ia absolutely urtique in his
position as the only comedian in cap
tivity who has never been married. He
lives with his brother Adolph and his
sister Rose in a great, big house on
Long Island, right on the beach. , His
fad is making mission furniture. He
designs all sorts of things from grand
father clocks to beds big enough and
strong enough to sleep in. He hasn't
gone into it so extensively that Grand
Rapids, Mich., is sitting up to notice,
but he's some gay little carpenter, take
it from one who saw pictures of things
he'd made.
BANK FORGER TAKEN
R. A. Henry Surrenders at
Woodburn for Crime Here.
$1287 CHECK IS CASHED
Part of Money Sauandered Tor
Dress Suit and Silk Hat In
dictment for Former Embez
zlement Still Standing.
Richard AHenry, aged 25, wanted
in Portland for passing a forged check
for $1287.43 on the First National Bank,
was arrested at Woodland, Wash., Fri
day while on his way back to Port-
and to give himself up. F. S. Alkus.
manager of the Burns Detective
Agency, brought Henry back, and he
is in the County Jail.
Mr. Alkus caused the arrest of Henry
at Woodland, where he formerly was
cashier of a bank and City Recorder.
after Henry, on Thursday night, tele
phoned an assistant cashier of the First
National Bank of Portland that he
was in Woodland and asked that tte
Burns agency, which he knew to be
on his trail, should be notified. This
telephone message came about mid
night. When the Burns man arrived it
Kaiama, the county seat of Cowlitz
County, in which Woodland is located.
he found Henry in the custody of
Sheriff Studebaker.
Woodland Indictment Stands.
Henry is under indictment in Wood
land for the theft of city funds while
City Recorder. This charge has been
allowed to drag, however, and it was
understood that it was to be dropped.
Henry's father having come from Mich-
gan and made partial restitution.
At the same time the father bought
the young man an automobile truck in
Portland, and Henry, his wife and
their 3-year-old baby went to Tilla
mook to live, Henry having secured
work trucking for Stone & Hicks, con-'
tractors there. It was a check pur
porting to be' signed by this concern
which he passed on the First National
penitentiary doors, and that she would
next hear of him when his body was
recovered from the bottom of the river.
He wrote another "suicide" letter to a
friend at Woodland. Wash.
He- then started north, purchasing
a ticket for Woodland, but going on
through to Seattle and thence to Van
couver, B. C, from which city he pur
chased a ticket to Duluth, Minn., over
I the Canadian Pacific and Soo lines. At
uaigary he turned back, reaching
Woodland again via Spokane and Ta
coma. His movements were traced by
means of the hatbox. which- was so out
of the ordinary as to excite the pecu
liar interest of train porters, taxicab
drivers and hotel bellboys on the route
between Portland and Vancouver and
in that city. He traveled under aliases.
. Wife Has Checking Privilege. "
The account which Henry had at the
bank was subject both to his own
checks and those of his wife. Mrs.
Henry was notified of the fact that
there was money in the bank in her
husband's suicide letter to her, and be
fore the forgery was discovered she
checked out all the balance, amount
ing to about $300. She has since repaid
the balfk.. Henry surrendered more
than $300 in money and personal prop
erty when arrested.
Henry last Spring won an automobile
in a subscription contest conducted" by
a Portland daily newspaper. Recently
he moved his family to Portland from
Tillamook and established a home at
1100 East Market street.

Detectives Who Received Bartrlary Con
fessions Seek to Learn Foil
Operations of Band.
That the three Lincoln High School
boys and the one Glencoe School stu
dent arrested Thursday by City De
tectives Hellyer and Tackaberry on
burglary charges have been implicated
in ''jobs" other than those to which
they have confessed is now thought
probable by the detectives as the re
sult of evidence they secured yester
day. The detectives plan to push tho
work in order to learn definitely the
full extent of the operations of the
youthful band.
After making confessions to the de
tectives Thursday the boys. Harry Bos
ton, Arthur Durbin and Harry Waldron,
of Lincoln High School, and Milton
Prink, of the Glencoe School, were
turned over to the Juvenile Court and
released on their own recognizance.
Probably the heaviest loser at the
hands of the band, according to the de
tectives, is Charles Moore, elevator
starter in the Yeon building, whose
houseboat near Windemuth was broken
into some time about the last of July
or the first of August. The burglars
took various articles of clothing from
the place and a watch, a valuable shav
ing outfit and a gun. The gun was
secured in a second-hand store some
time ago, but at that time its theft was
not known to be connected with the
arrested boys.
Some of the stolen goods which the
boys haa in their possession has been
recovered, but the majority of it is be
lieved to have been sold.

UNITED EFFORT IS NEEDED
Product Is Declared Superior to
Steel, Iron and Concrete for
Numerous- Purposes Modern
Salesmanship Is T7rged.
How to extend the trade of the lum
ber industry was the problem that re
ceived 'earnest attention from a large
body of lumber manufacturers and
builders at the Chamber of Commerce
Friday night.
The question was discussed from
various angles and it was universally
agreed that the lumber business must
be treated to modern merchandising
methods if the increased U6e of lum
ber that the Industry now demands is
attained.
E. A. Sterling, manager of the trade
extension department of the National
Lumber Manufacturing Association, was
the principal speaker. His utterances
were supplemented by those of P. S.
Ridsdale, representing the American
Forestry Association, and C. J. Hogue.
a Portland architect. W. It. Mackay
presiaed.
Mr. Sterling emphasized the necessity
for, united effort on the part of the
lumbermen to impress the public with
the superiority of lumber for many pur
poses. He declared that the lumbermen
themselves have been ignorant- of the
true conditions surrounding their in
dustry. How. then, is the public to know
what are the uses and the possibilities
to which lumber can be put? is the
question that he implied by his dis
cussion. Stndy of Demand Vrtred.
Mr. Sterling explained that the pur
poses of the National organization are,
first, to gather all the statistics and
information relating to the lumber in
dustry that may be essential in in
creasing the demand for lumber prod
ucts. When all such data are available
a systematic campaign of publicity
will be undertaken. In fact, the dis
semination of information already Is
under way.
Before the use of lumber can be in
creased, he pointed out, it is necessary
to know why the use has decreased.
He said that the decrease is due
only partially far less than popularly
Imagined to the general business de
pression. "The industry." he Insisted, "suffers
from causes entirely outside of, and
independent of, the general business
situation."
He continued with the assertion that
the lumber market has been suffering
by the fierce competition of substitutes
iron, steel and concrete being prin
cipal among them and blamed the
lumbermen themselves for apathy and
lack of aggressiveness in maintaining
their prestige against this class of
competition.
Wood Best In Many Fields.
He advised his hearers, however, that
it is unwise and undesirable to com
bat the invasion of steel and concrete
for many special uses to which they
are unquestionably superior to lum
ber. "But," he continued, "there are many
legitimate fields for wood where wood
is superior but where steel and con
crete now are getting the business.
This is due entirely to the modern
salesmanship and the efficient mer
chandising of our competitors. They
have been conducting their business on
an up-to-date basis, while wood has
been going along in the same old way,
selling itself or, I am afraid, not be
ing sold at all.
"The lumber industry has overlooked
a fertile field for development when it
has failed to follow the methods estab
lished by our competitors."
Mr Sterling then enumerated the
many effective methods through which
forest products can be placed favorably
before the consuming public.
Primarily, he emphasized the avail
ability of wood, which under the con
servation, fire protection and reforesta
tion methods now practiced by the
United States Government, need not be
reduced.
He also laid stress on the adapta
bility of wood. Tests have shown, he
said, that a column of Douglas fir, long
leaf pine or hickory has greater
strength than its same weight in steel.
Wood is a non-conductor of heat and
cold and of electricity and therefore
better adapted to use for garages, alios
and farm buildings, he declared.
Fire Theory Unfounded.
Finally he dwelt on the ornamental
qualities of wood, which make fts
choice for interior finishing for homes
indispensable.
Mr. Sterling quoted statistics from
authoritative sources to show that the
popular fancy that wood construction
is responsible for many of the destruc
tive fires of this country is unfounded:
Tests have shown, he added, that fires
in wooden buildings are more easily
controlled than fires in so-called fire
proof buildings filled with combustible
material.
Modern methods of treatment, he
said, have overcome the tendency of
wood to decay. In this particular he
urged the people of the Northwest to
give more general use to creosoted
wood blocks for paving. He explained
that in many European cities wood
blocks are the accepted standards for
paving in the principal streets and that
in some of the largest Eastern cities
of the United States wood blocks are
coming into more frequent use.
Waste ia Bin? Problem.
By studying these various uses, he
continued, and by conducting a sys
tematic campaign of exploitation and
solicitation, the lumber industry of the
Northwest can do much to redeem itself
from Its present state of partial de
moralization. Mr. Ridsdale explained the work of
th American Forestry Association both
in conserving the lumber supply and in
developing a greater use for lumber
products. He said that one problem
that the organization now is trying to
solve is the elimination of the tremen
dous waste that constantly goes on in
the forests.
Mr. Hogue related many Interesting
experiences as an architect, in which
the superior qualities of wood have
been proved to him. He urged co-oper
ation among all lumbermen and. build
ers to promote the increased use of
wood products as outlined by Mr. Sterling.
Thrown "BlUy" Foils Fugitive.
After three policemen had chased
William Martin several blocks through
the North End last night. Patrolman
Ferry threw his otub at the man and
succeeded in knocking him down and
arresting him on a charge of disorderly
conduct. Martin is accused of strik
ing Fred Fritz, "proprietor of a saloon
at Third and Burnside streets, and of
breaking a window in the saloon. The
other officers in the chase wereDetec
tive Hill and Patrolman Nelson.

skaters Friday night and from all
standpoints it was a decided success.
according to E. H. Keller, manager.
From the time the first skater cut the
Ice with his steel until after 10 o'clock
there were no dull minutes.
A' riot was nearly caused by young
Jimmy Richardson In his attempt to
be the first skater on the ice for the
1915-16 season. After considerable
squaring off, he finally received the
first ticket from J. George Keller, as
sistant manager. The second one to
pass through the new turnstiles was
J. J. Burdett, of Newport, who
came all the way from his home town
to be present at the opening. He will
remain In Portland until Monday night
