THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 3IAE.CH 23, 1917. i IF HELD, MAY RECLAIM LAUD Tentative Plan, In Event of In ternment, Provides foe the Payment of Wages. NEW WORK COULD BEGIN Interior Department Is Considering Idea at Suggestion of Admlnistra- , tlon AH Depends on Oat come of War Crisis. TtEGONIAN NEIWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 24 At the suggestion of the Administration, the Interior De partment is giving consideration to the idea of placing a large number of Interned Germans on Government rec lamation projects . In the West, In the event Congress declares war on Ger many or declares a state of war exists between the two governments. No definite plan has yet been worked out, but from preliminary study, given the subject, officials regard the proj ect as entirely feasible and one that would work great permanent benefit to the United States, besides afford ing a practicable means of caring for those German subjects who In time of war must necessarily be interned by this Government. Payment of Salaries Favored. The Idea meeting with most favor Just now is to adopt, in the main, the Canadian plan of employing Interned German subjects In construction, camps, providing quarters, clothing and rations and paying them salaries equal to those paid to soldiers In the Army. This would permit a gradua tion of compensation, according to the ability of the Individual, and would call for salaries ranging from about $15 to $150 per month. The adoption of this scheme. It Is pointed out, would enable the Govern ment, at a minimum expense, and at a much less cost than It must pay to day, to build a great many new proj ects In the West which otherwise must wait an indefinite time. Such a plan, of course, would call for an appro priation by Congress, but that must be made In any event to care for all German subjects who may be interned. Drainage Possible, Too. If the Interned foreign subjects are not employed on reclamation works, they would in all probability be em ployed on some other public works. Coupled with the proposal to put them on reclamation projects is to let them work also on various drainage projects which have never yet been authorized by Congress. This policy would provide a means whereby German subjects could be In terned at points some distance from the coast, remote from coast defenses and fortifications and also remote from large cities. A comparatively email guard would be required to pa trol these internment camps, it Is be lieved, and that woul- be supplied by the War Department, which also has been approached on the subject. New Projects Could Be Btpu, It Is pointed out that Interned Ger mans could be used not only to hurry the completion of projects such as the Umatilla and Klamath, but could be put to work on new projects which have been tentatively outlined and ap proved, the Owyhee among others. A large part of the interned for eigners would, it is thought, be glad of an opportunity to work in the in terior, where they would be assured Government protection and escape mo lestation which they might encounter In or near the large cities. In this connection, the Reclamation Service has given recent attention to the necessity for guarding the larger Government dams, which might, as an act of German strategy, be destroyed by German spies In this country. Dim Might Be Deatroyed. The blowing up of any one of a dozen of the larger dams, would, if successfully accomplished, cause the loss of many American lives, and the flooding and destruction of much val uable property, but from a strategic point of view it Is recognized that the destruction of some dams might let loose a great flood of water which would carry out railroad bridges and thus for a time. Interrupt railroad communications In various parts of the West. The War Department; has been asked to give this question immediate at tention and to take such steps as may be found expedient. During the Mexican trouble mili tary guards were placed at the Ele phant Butte dam on the Rio Grande and the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, and It is likely that similar guards will be placed in the near future at other large dams in the West. There is no Inti mation, so far as can be learned, that any particular dam Is threatened and It is not believed likely that any could be destroyed if a suitable guard should be provided, but the possibility is one on which the War Department has been asked to pass Judgment. ., GREAT AIDIS EXPECTED French Paper Says America Will Enter War Body and Soul.

ISLAND FOLK SATISFIED AMERICANS AUTD FILIPINOS DE CLARED IX ACCORD. Natives Axe Settled Down to Work Oat Salvation 1b Preparation for In dependence When Pitted. SAN FRANCISCO. March $4. (Spe ciaX) "Americans and Filipinos were never so much In accord as at present and the country never settled down to trade expansion and growth as It Is now doing," said Rev. George W. Wright, of Manila, who arrived on the Siberia Maru toaay. Besides being head of an old-established seminary for the education of the Filipino chil dren he has been for several years president of the Uulll Club, Manila's organization of business and profes sional men. "With the passage of the Jones bill the Filipinos have settled down to work out their salvation and to pre pare themselves for independence when the time arrives," said Mr. Wright. "President Quezon, of the Philippine Senate, Is moulding the opinion of the Filipinos better than any man before. His long service In Washington as delegate from the Phil ippines and his close association with Americans during that time have given him a broader outlook on the re lations of the two countries which he is instilling into the minds of the Filipino people. "The added responsibilities now giv en the Filipinos have sobered their leaders to a great extent, they have everything they have asked for except Independence and there seems to be little desire for that until they feel themselves fitted for it, which they realize will not be for many years. "As an indication of how serious they are. 6,000,000 .pesos were appro priated this year for public works, roads, bridges and harbor Improve ments, the largest sum ever devoted to that purpose in one year since Ameri can occupation." 37 DEAD AT HEW ALBANY MORE THAW 100 ARE I.VJURED, 75 OP THEM BADLY.

Including damaged or destroyed homes and contents, at $1,133,000. 1 MARKET SKULKER JAILED Detectives Gather in Parole-Breaking Pickpocket. The stealthy actions of a young man who skulked through the throngs of the public market on Yamhill street yesterday afternoon drew the attention of Detectives Joseph Morak, Hellyer and Tackaberry. "Pickpocket." was the conclusion of the trio, and they gathered him in. He proved to be Victor Dunlap, alias De Vere, 22 years old and a parole violator from the Washington Reformatory. Further, Dunlap's previous vocation was that of pickpocket, and he frankly admitted that he was again questing for a likely "poke."

OWN RECORD IS EXPLAINED Sergeant Kent Again Accused . of Hounding Sim Because of Old Conviction and Parole, hut Officer Denies Charge. SEATTLE, Wash.. March 24. Judge Neterer in the United States District Court today reminded counsel for the defense In the whisky conspiracy case that the defendants were on trial, and that Eddie Metzdorf, a witness, who alleges that Police Sergeant William B. Kent forced him to circulate falsehoods about Logan Billlngsley. chief prose cuting witness, was not on trial. The defense had Introduced a witness to at tack a minor detail of Metzdorf a testi mony, and the Judge ruled that this witness could not testify. The defendants on trial are Mayor Hiram C Gill. Chief of Police Charles L. Becklngham and City Detectives Peyser. Poolman, Doom and McLennan. ail charged with conspiracy to violate the Federal laws by importation of liquor into the state of Washington. Metzdorf was a pathetic figure dur ing his examination yesterday. He had passed the two preceding nights in ohalr cars in flight to and return from Spokane, and after returning to Seattle to confess everything to the Federal authorities, he was hurried to the wit ness stand without sleep and without food. He begged for mercy on account of his physical and mental condition. Witness Severely Grilled. Today, however, Metzdorf was vigor ous and confident and he endured cross- examination from three attorneys for the defense without losing his temper or contradicting himself In any way. Metzdorf explained his criminal rec ord, which had been often referred to in court. He said that five years ago he bad been convicted in the Superior Court for grand larceny. He had seen two gamblers steal $55 from another man, and was convicted- because he woald not "squeal" on the thieves. Wit ness said he was paroled at once and never served a day in prison. The po lice had kept him in Jail 28 days, feed ing him insufficiently and not per mitting him to telephone. This criminal record, he continued. was held over him by Sergeant Kent, brother-in-law of Defendant Peyser, to compel Metzdorf to frame a story that be had been bribed by Logan Billings ley to commit perjury in the conspiracy case. Metzdorf repeated his story about Watson H. Smith giving him "a hundred bucks" last Saturday and telling him it was time to "start the noise." Wit ness said he began at once to spread the story that he had been bribed by Logan Billlngsley to commit perjury. Own Statement Repudiated. Explaining to the jury the statement he is alleged to have sworn to in the office of Chief of Police Becklngham last Wednesday, to the effect that Logan BUlingsley had bribed him. Metzdorf said he did not regard him self as under oath at that time. The notary before whom he appeared was Walter Fulton, counsel for Becklng ham, and Smith had said Fulton would protect Metzdorf. Metzdorf continued: Fulton and Tucker (counsel for Gill) asked me all kinds of questions and I said yes to everything they asked me. Most of this statement is nothing but lies. I was Just noising the story around." After Metzdorf had been excused Ser geant Kent was called and said he had never even met Metzdorf until yester day. Watson H. Smith was recalled and said he had not given Metzdorf $100 to say that Logan Billlngsley had tried to bribe Metzdorf. Smith admitted he knew Sergeant Kent and that he had seen him last Monday night. This is the night on which Smith alleges Logan Billlngsley gave him $30 for promising to swear falsely in the con spiracy trial. Several other witnesses were called to contradict Metzdorf s testimony. Protection Promise Reported. Metzdorf was asked if Kent had not told him just what his story should be. and witness replied: "No; I was told any lie would do to discredit the Bll lingsleys and get the people riled up. I was assured I should not have to be a witness, and that is how I got in so deep, noising the story around that the Billingsleys had bribed me. It had not occurred to me that I would get in trouble with the Federal officials, so I went ahead recklessly, noising the bribery story about and spreading the news on every hand." Questions by the defense as to Metz- dorf's means of support caused the -witness to say he had always worked and always had money, at the same time producing a postal savings book which. he said, showed a balance of $100. Questioned about his reputation for truthfulness. Metzdorf retorted: "I had a good reputation before I got mixed up with policemen." I Metzdorf identified Police Sergeant Kent in the courtroom as the man who had induced him to "frame up" the story on Billlngsley. PERLEY B. LENT BURIED Masons and Elks Conduct Funeral Services.

Lent, who was found dead in his room at the Carlotta Court Apart ments, Thursday night, were held yes terday afternoon from the funeral chapel of Finley & Son.

Relatives of the young man insist that the bullet wound which caused his death could not have been self-inflicted, while Detective Captain Baty de clares that the suicide theory is clearly substantiated and that no further in vestigation will be made by. the police.

L FELT CALIFORNIA SENDS HEAVY ORDERS TO TIDEWATER MILLS. Cnt Reported by Associated Plants for ' Week 73,500,000 Feet and Wants Are 83,500,000 Feet. Unexpected demands from California served to strengthen the lumber mar ket in Oregon and Washington last week. Tidewater mills In the two states took on upwards of 16,000,000 feet dur ing the week more business than dur ing any previous week of the last eight months. While this buying movement is some what puzzling to the mill operators. It is explained by the probability that the California yards practically have been out of the market for the last few weeks, that California stocks are light and that the prospects for busi ness there are exceedingly good. Then, too, coastwise freight rates threaten to advance and the southern dealers want to lay In supplies on the pres ent basis. Reports compiled last week by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association show that 135 mills cut an aggregate of 73,632,797 feet, which was 22 per cent below normal cutting possibili ties. New business amounted to 83. 657,098 feet, of which 1988 carloads, or 49,700,000 feet, ' came mostly from transcontinental markets, 27,686,909 feet from coastwise and overseas mar kets and 6,170,189 feet from home mar kets, such as shipbuilding and local construction.
