AUTO FRAUD CASE GROWS
POLICE ARREST TWO MORE AL
LEGED MEMBERS OF CAXC.
East Side Clioir Singer Said to Have
Planned Theft of Cars
on
Which Insurance Asked.
Police yesterday captured two more
nlleged members of the gang whom
they accuse of defrauding insurance
companies by reporting automobiles
stolen after making off with tho ma
chines themselves. The new prisoners
are: Clifford Reed, 19 years old, brother
of Guy and Lloyd Reed, who have been
under arrest several days, and Paul
Wetzler, 16 years old, whom Inspectors
Niles and Russell charged with helping
Clifford Reed steal two automobiles.
F. Kane, manager of the Mott Iron
works, yesterday swore out a complain
charging J. G. Chatfield, the alleged
leader of the gang, with larceny of
SUOO worth of plumbing from the iron
works. Chatfield, who is a member of
an east side church, where he has
been singing in the choir, obtained his
release on $2000 bail. Mr. Kane filed
a. similar charge against Guy Reed.
Police have charged the other prisoners
with larceny of automobiles.
Police say that the stolen property
recovered from the prisoners is worth
about $10,000. It consists of five auto
mobiles, a vast quantity of plumbing
and some clothing which is said to
have been taken from the Moyer Cloth
ing company. Some of the prisoners
are wearing stolen clothing, police say,
but have nothing else to put on.
In the basement of Chatfield's home,
72S Belmont street, police yesterday
found part of an automobile.. They say
f the prisoners have confessed that they
have the chassis and engine of the same
car bvaried in Woodstock, and have
promised to uncover it and turn it over
to the authorities. Police say Chatfield
has been using his companions as cats
paws. MILITARY TRAINING TOPIC
IQrESTIOX DEBATED AT OREGOX
CIVIC LEAGUE LtXCHEOX.
Both Sides of Matter Ably Presented
Ilabbi Jonau. B. Wise Partici
i pates in Discussion.
"It was a spirited session that the
Oregon Civic league held following the
luncheon at the Benson hotel yesterday,
lit which Dr. Calvin S. White, recently
returned from service, and Otto Hart
wig, president of the State Federation
of Labor, debated the question of uni
versal military training. Dr. White
strongly indorsed the proposal for mil
itary training under some system that
would develop the physical strength
I i
and mental activity of younff men. He '
declared that lack of such training had
cost the allied nations great numbers of
lves and immense treasure. In support
of his argument he quoted freely from
an editorial in The Oregonian of May 25.
Mr. Hartwig, for the negative, held
that it was not necessary to put a gun
nto the hands of a man in order to
give him military training. He believed
in physical development and life in the
open for men and women. The only
safeguard, in his estimate, against war
is for America to give everybody a
square deal. Prevention of war by
means of large standing armies or com
pulsory military training for all he de
clared impossible. Having served on a
draft board, he had studied the draft
closely and believed it the only proper
method of raising an army.
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise participated In
the general discussion that followed
and declared it a specious argument
that universal military training is nec
essary to physical development. Mili
tary training he held makes for Just
that sort of autocracy that is the most
dangerous.
Grace Manners Brougham spoke on
some of the great lessons that Britain
and America had learned from the war
and ouoted a ooem written by her
brother, Guy Manners. Mr. Manners
also spoke. Alice Price Moore sang
several selections.

WATERFRONT CHIEFS
FAVOR PORT BOiS
Development of Commerce Re
garded as Needed Move.
EMERGENCY FUNDS NEEDED
With Money Available, Portland Will
Be Able) to Meet Competition,
Say Marine Men.
Men who have to do with the mari
time commerce of Portland and the Co
lumbia river basin appear to have no
question In their minds as to the ad
visability of supporting the request of
the Port of Portland commission for a
f 1.000,000 bond issue, which is to come
before the voters Tuesday.
'ine bonds will back up work the
commission of public docks has been
carrying on in the way of providing
facilities for steamships," said John H.
Burgard of the Dock commission yes
terday. "Construction of terminals
alone will not bring commerce, for we
must exert efforts along the line of
providing cargo, both from our own
products and what we purchase else
where which will draw vessels this
way. We must be prepared to over
come differentials, such as on fuel. The
granting of authorization by the voters
to the Port commission to sell such an
amount of bonds means, in short, that
the commission has a working fund for
commerce development, and if the
emergencies do not arise the bonds will
not be sold. It is an lmprotant matter
as regards future shipping, not the
present."
Pilots for Bonds, Too.
Captain James L. Smith, of the Wil
lamette and Columbia River Pilots' as
sociation, believes the bonds should be
supported.
If we are to have more commerce
than is now handled, we must adopt
some means to attract it, and I feel
that the bonds can be used most bene
ficially in connection with lines that
will be seeking business here," he said.
I am in favor of any move of the char
acter that will benefit Portland and es
pecially increase the volume of water
transportation.
J. W. Hall, assistant manager of the
Oregon district of the Emergency Fleet
corporation, who was a Portlander long
before wood ships were started on gov
ernment account, characterizes the
bond issue as a "rattling good depart
ure."
'Portland and Oregon nave demon
strated to the world what they could
do in men, ships and timber during the
war and there is not the slightest
doubt that great benefits will result
from the progressiveness displayed, but
we must have financial means to re
tain shipping once it returns in a nor
mal way," said Mr. HalL "The commun
ity should get behind the bond matter
in a wholehearted way, and 1 feel that
our future advancement In a shipping
way absolutely demands such insur
ance, in meeting emergencies when ne
gotiations for additional transporta
tion lines develop them."
The Port of Portland commission
unanimously favored the bond move
when the subject was first suggested
because funds derived from taxes are
inadequate for special purposes, being
confined to the maintenance of the
towing, dredging and dry-docking- de
partments.
The last legislature amended the
port's charter to embody more elastic
powers as regards bonds for special
purposes.
