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.

Admiral Coontz Presents Sailor
With Medal Before Crowd or
Interested Witnesses. "
After a lapse of more than two
years, E. G. Gates, chief boatswain's
mate in the United States navy, yes
terday was presented by- ' Admiral
Coontz with the navy cross for dis
tinguished bravery. The medal was
awarded to mm Dy oraer or Presi
dent Wilson, and was conferred with
befitting ceremonies in the lobby of
the1 Hotel Multnomah in the presence
of a group of commissioned and non
commissioned officers and just plain
gobs. . .
One of the most interested wit
nesses was Mrs. Gates, young wife of
the hero, . who had come here with
him from Salem, Or., not knowing
why he had been ordered to report
in Portland at this time. He is in
charge of the sub-recruiting office of
the navy in -the capital city.-
In formal manner. Admiral Coontz
read the citation authorizing the
award of the navy cross to Gates and
finished by pinning it on the young
man's uniform, grasping his hand and
extending him the gratitude of the
nation by way of hearty congratula
tion. ..
On April 17, 1918, Gates was a. mem
ber of the crew of the U. S. Steamer
Stewart, which on that date was in
the harbor of Quiberon, France.
There was an explosion on the U. S.
ship Florence H.,. nearby, and the lives
of many men were endangered. With
others. Gates put out' in boats to the
rescue and, in absolute forgetfulness
of self, stood, by and assisted, in sav
ing lives.
War Savings Stamps Case Figures
in Sir. 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."
