x 20. THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER v 14, 1920 CITY ENTERTAINS IV L COMMITTEE Adrriral Coontz Recalls Visit to Portland in 1 887. TRIBUTE PAID TO CITY Representative Britten of Illinois ' Says His Colleague, McArthur, Works to Get Things Done. . At the luncheon given In honor of the joint naval affairs committee of the senate and house at the Cham ber of Commerce yesterday noon. Ad miral Coontz. chief of operations of the navy, "put one over" on the younger generation of Oregonians in fact, probably every one present. ' "I noticed in an evening paper that I once Served on the old cruiser Phila delphia on this coast," said the ad-, miral, after being Introduced by Mayor Baker. "I venture to say that long before the man who wrote that was able to walk, I visited your fair city and got my first glimpse of what has become one of the finest, most progressive of all our American mu nicipalities. 'I came to Portland the first time In the winter of 1887, after a strenu ous trip overland, traveling most of the time In a blizzard. On that occa sion, I found your Willamette river frozen over and I distinctly recall seeing a big load of hay being taken across from the east side on a eled." Gloirlng Tribute Paid Oregon. Having thus made clear to those present that he was "a pioneer," and knew something 'of our "balmy" cli mate, the admiral, with a significant laugh, proceeded to tell how wonder fully well Oregon showed its patrio tism during the stressful days of the war. He paid it a glowing tribute. "I well remember of sending a young recruiting officer through the Willamette valley, to such towns as Salem, Bugene and Cottage Grove, when I was in command of this naval district during the war," said Ad miral Coontz. "He went out and for II days I heard nothing from him. On the 11th day I received a wire, saying 'I have signed up 87. women as female yeomen, 26 young men and am asking if you could waive age limit on foot-washing Baptist preacher, wishing to enlist as chap lain.' Well, that 'foot-washing Bap tist' thing got me. I- wondered what that was. I wired to my recruiting officer, asking him what 'feet-washing' Baptist preachers got down in Oregon and he replied, 'J650 a year.' t. wired back. 'Don't sign him under any consideration; if you do, every preacher in Oregon will enlist, for we pay chaplains $2500 a year.' And at that, we surely got more men from Oregon than was 'her share." ; Britten Complimemta McArthur. Mayor Baker Introduced United States Representative Britten as "A Chicago boy, who at one time lived in ."an Francisco and knows a lot of my friends. Some day, he will be a sen ator from Illinois." "I hardly know what to make of that 'boy' stuff," replied Mr. Britten, amid laughter. "Probably what the mayor meant is, "A Chicago congress nan who once was a boy in San ; rrancisco." Mr. Britten at least made an effort o pay a tribute to "Pat" McArthur, Representative from this district. "I'm glad to see "Paf re-elected," said Mr. Britten. "When he sets out in Washington to accomplish some thing, he sits up nights until it is ac complished and he is up late every nigtit." Mr. Britten also paid a compliment "to the success attained here by Charles F. Berg, formerly a San Kranclsco boy" and to "Harbormaster Spcier, who has a great, big job and .s handling it in a great, bisr wav." Mayor Baker used great ' caution and fetched into play the most polite and diplomatic language he could command in introducing- United States V-Senator Ball of Delaware, but when it came time to make known the next speaker he said "I have more free dom in introducing this man, for he ;s more in my class only a congress man," whereat the big crowd laughed nearuiy. -Th-o dinner was very informal and the visitors expressed great apprecia tion for the opportunity of speaking -reeiy ana enjoying "a real good .time.

Baker's Examination Into Bureau's Affairs. Suspension of t Frank Huntington and George Russell, members of the police morals squad, was recom mended yesterday by the police -efficiency board, after deliberating, on all evidence introduced at a hearing which was ordered as a result of graft charges filed against the two men in connection with their investigations Into liquor operations. Although there was no evidence to support the charge that the men stole whisky which was taken by them in raids, there was testimony to the effect that they had permitted John Marshall, one of their "stool pigeons," to .take whisky which they procured as a result of information which he supplied to them. Marshall then sold this whisky,, it was said by witnesses appearing at the hearing. Both Huntington and Russell ad mitted to the board of inquiry that they had permitted Marshall to steal' whisky from them, member of the board said. In defense of their act, they said they had no money to pay Marshall' for his services and, iook cms means oi rewaruins iiin. Whether or not Huntington and Russell will be removed from the force permanently will not be an nounced until Monday. Chief Jenkins said. . Chief Jenkins said he would suspend both men for a period of 30 days, effective Monday morning, and then would file charges against them with the civil service board. Both men have been on the' police force for more . thap six years and cannot be removed except by order of the civil service body. Both Huntington and Russell said they would carry their fight before this board in an effort to clear, their names of charges of graft. They ad mitted yesterday they were indis creet in thfeir dealings with the "stool pigeon" who furnished them wltlj in formation, but they have consistently denied, they were guilty of the ieft of liquor, and Chief Jenkins said the testimony before the board of in quiry substantiated this statement. Mayor Baker last night said, that before the case of H,untington and Russell was taken before .the civil service board they were entitled, to a hearing- before hiri, and this would be given to the two accused officers this week. ' " - . ' v ' Mayor to Probe Charges. - I Intend to probe deeply into this police department," ald the mayor last night. "My future course will depend largely on what is uncov ered at this hearing I will grant to Huntington and Russell." The mayor said that Sergeant Ellis would be called before him in con nection with the Huntington and Russell case to give a complete ex planation of all his dealings as com manding officer .of the police morals squad. "The Huntington aid Russel case has brought matters to my atten tion that I am convinced are in need of further Investigation," said the mayor. "'It is also apparent that the war savings stamp case in the federal court has brought to light facts concerning the police bureau which should be further probed. This is but the beginning of a sweeping Investigation." N..J. REPRESEXTATrVTE URGED FOR SECRETARY OF INTERIOR. Recommendation Is Telegraphed by SO Umatilla County 'Citizens. Stanfleld Is Honored.
