THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 8, 1923 13 WATSON s CHARGES DECLARED Ex-Service Men Resent Sena tor's Allegations. SOLDIERS HELD INSULTED Assertion That Men Were Executed Without Trial in France Ground less, Veterans Assert. That the charges- made by Senator Watson of Georgia regarding the hanging and killing of men of the American expeditionary force with out trial are false and utterly with- out foundation Is the opinion of cores of veterans of the world war who saw service in France. They declare the charges an Insult to the men who wore the army uniform during the war and express the opin Ion that Watson's claims were either made for political effect or are the product of a diseased mind. . Many of the men who saw service at the front admit there probably were instances where shooting, was necessary to preserve the morale of the troops. They call attention to the fact that when in action troops have no time for courts-martial, but must act Immediately. - Willful dia obedience to orders calls for Imme diate punishment. Sergeant Paul Mirat, who had served for three years at-the front with, the French army before going to Camp Lewis in 1917 as an lnstruc tor, had no hesitancy in telling of the manner In which rebels in the army of France' were punished. . French Mutineer Shot. . Mirat told how 17 men In a com pany of the French army banded to getber one morning before time to go over the top" and endeavored to cause their company to mutiny. They were taken out by their officer and without trial, lined up and shot Then their comrades were marched by them so that they might observe and be warned against disobedience at a time when courage was required. Opinions of Portland veterans re gardlng the charges made by Senator Watson follow: Dean G. Ray, sergeant major, 316th military police Lies. Trumped up charges. Watson Just wanta to make a, holler. Thomas Mulvey, sergeant hadquar ters troop, 91st division, and disabled veteran There Is to my way of thinking nothing to the charges made by Senator Watson. If the charges had been true we would have heard about them a long time ago. The characters of fine men and real sol diera are being besmirched by men who do not care for the truth. They have attacked General Lucius Hoi brook. I served several years under that man In the regular army cavalry and no finer man or soldier ever lived. Insult, Says Veteran. Douglas McKay, lieutenant 361st infantry, disabled veteran and adju tant of Portland post of the American Legion Senator Tom Watson has in sulted the American expeditionary forces. . Hia charge is an outrage, utterly without foundation, and a disgrace. I was at base hospital 46 when a hanging took place near by. I was a patient and could not attend. The man was a negro and had been tried and convicted of a crime for which he should have been hanged. Everyone considered the case justi fied and took it as a matter of course. Dr. John J. Sellwood, major com manding 363d field hospital and 361et infantry medical detachment Wat ion's charges are rot. I don't know what happened In the south of France but no hangings or killings ever took place where I was. I heard two men were hanged for a despicable 'crime. If they committed such a crime as re ported they should have been hanged. Harry N. Nelson, sergeant with classification camp at St. Aignan, and acting state adjutant of the American Legion I eaw two hangings at St. Aignan. Both were negroes and they had been tried by courts-martial and convicted - of unspeakable crimes. They deserved the fate they received and before their executions warned other soldiers against such acts as theirs. .The soldiers who knew of these executions bad no sympathy with the victims. I heard of other hangings but all seemed to be justi fied. I have no use for Senator Wat son or his charges. Watson Held Fourflusher. Edward J. Elvers, captain 162d in fantry and former state adjutant of the-American Legion Watson is the greatest fourflueher in the United (states. His charges are without foundation and are not being sub stantiated. For two years I served on courtmartlal boards In France and every man accused of a crime was given a just trial. Watson a short time ago disgraced himself 'by mak ing serious charges against our nurses In France. Edward C. Sammons, lieutenant colonel and division inspector of the 85th division The charges of Watson are silly, idiotic and unjustifiable. An effort is being made to prove charges, which in my Judgment, are the most serious that could be made against the American expeditionary force. Watson is endeavoring to prove these charges through the statements of crazy, imple-mlnded and illiterate men. The charges are being made for political reasons. S. R. Payne, private 363d infantry and disabled veteran Watson is off on the wrong track. I saw nothing of the character of the charges that have been made, during my service in France. I liked my officers and re spected them. Politics, Declares One. G. V. Hastings, sergeant 16th com pany 5th regiment of marines and disabled veteran I cannot see how Senator Watson's charges can be true. I was IS months in France and never heard anything to indicate that such things were going on. If there were any truth in the charges word would have been passed around and the entire organization would, have known about them. Men who disobey orders at the front deserve to be shot. There no courts-martial can be held, for the time demands prompt action. Watson is talking for political effect, but is insulting every self-respecting man who served in France. John E. Cuniff private, A company, 147th field artillery Watson is prob ably sincere, but he is crazy. - His charges are those that could come only from a diseased mind. I never aw anything or heard anything to Indicate that such acts were going on. -1 do not believe there is any truth in the charges. William N. Beveridge, sergeant, 65th field artillery and member of the executive committee of the American Legion The red-blooded men of the senate should have risen and smashed Watson in the face when he made hit Charge against the American expedi tionary force. His statements re gardins the Red Cross nurses made several weeks ago were too vile for any decent man to make. His charges are founded upon lies and the rank and file of the veterans do not be lieve them. Charges Held Groundless. James Alexander, captain. 162d In fantry I was at St Aignan when two negroes were hung. They had been tried and convicted of offenses against women in France. They deserved no kindlier fate than they received. I never heard of any of the stuff Wat son has charged and I believe it is all false. I can realize how shoot ings might have taken place at the front where men disobeyed orders or deliberately exposed their comrades to danger from the enemy. James J. Crossley, major, with 42d division and with the judge-advocate-general's department, commander of Portland post of the American Legion I do not believe the charges made by Tom Watson. The charges that men were hanged without just trial are false. Many of the men who dia commit crimes against women es caped with prison sentences, when,, to my way of thinking, they should have been hanged. We criticised the Ger mans for their crimes against women in France and Belgium and our own men who committed such crimes should have been hanged. Wartaon Believed Crasy. Glenn H. Ticer, first lieutenant 364th infantry, now chairman of the American Legion employment com mittee "I do not believe Watson's charges and think the man is crazy, There were cases where shootings were justified at the front. In the hearing in Washington a few days ago a Major Opie was charged wun having shot a man who went for a drink of water against orders. These charges were denied by a number of men In Opie s command. In a case where the man would expose his com rades to the enemy by deliberately going after water or anything else he should be shot. . There is no time for eourtmartials at the front. An of ficer who would show cowardice be fore his men should be shot by those same men. The morale of the army demands that form of Justice. One man showing cowardice and retreat ing might start an entire company, form a hole In the line end sacrif'ce hundreds of his comrades." Lane Goodell, captain lztn. ne-ia ar tillery, 2d division and state com mander of the American Legion Where 2. 000. 000 men are assembled there will always be murderers and degenerates. When these men com mit crimes they should be hanged or shot. In my two years' experience in France I never saw anyone punished without due cause and there were many who should have been punished but escaped. I do not believe Senator Watson's charges. I think that they are un-American." Officer "Killed In Action." A veteran who prefers that his name be not made public relates this incident to prove a case where shoot ing was justified: "I was a member of a platoon or a certain company when we were in hiding within a few rods of the Ger- an lines one night at tne front. We were in command of an officer who had been sent to us just a few lavs before. Orders were that there ahould be no lights because even the lighting of a match might betray our position to the enemy and cause the 52 of us who were in mains io oa wined Out bv the flro of the enemy. Our officer rose ana aeiiDeraieiy lighted a match. Before he could put the match to his cigarette 47 bullets from the rifles of the men or my platoon entered his body. The men were Justified In shooting the offi cer, for he had deliberate- disobeyed orders and exposed his men to enemy fire. The war department records show that this man was killed in action." CLUB KILLS FARM PESTS NEW UW HELD 11 TO USING HIS Motor Vehicle Operators Face . Complex, Problem. SURETY CLAUSE OBSCURE Bonding and Insurance - Concerns Say Authority Given State Commission Is Clouded. UNX COUNTY ORGANIZATION KEPORTS ON WORK. 10,000 Destructive Birds and Ro dents Declared Eliminated by Ashwale Hnnters. More than 10,000 destructive birds and rodent pests have been destroyed, and a programme of education for the protection ot birds of value to agriculture ' has been conducted throughout Linn county as a result of the 14 years' existence of the Ash wale Hunt club, according to a re port on club activities issued. Since the formation of the club in 1907 an annual hunt has been con ducted each Winter in which the club members have been divided into opposing groups. The side scoring the largest number of points in the hunt is banqueted by the losing side. The number of pests which have been destroyed each year ranged from 198. which was the lowest figure, to a total of 3282, the number killed In 1921. The records of the organization show that more mice have been killed than any other pest. Following in rder have been rats. Jack rabbits and digger squirrels. The original promoters of the for mation of the club were Charles Carl son. H. C. Poland, W. W. Poland and p. I. Troutman. The club was first started as the result of a gathering held at the Ashwale school in the fall of 1907 and immediately following that the first annual hunt was held. A constitution and by-laws were adopted in the winter of 1908-1909 specifying the objects of the club. Charles Carlson was elected the first president and has held that of fice ever since. W. W. Poland has been secretary-treasurer for many years also. Not only has the organi zation been of Importance in keeping the community free from rodents, but it has also built up a community fel lowship at the annual banquet. Sneak Thief Steals Clothes. While John Aorman was absent from his room at the Portola. hotel yesterday some sneak thief entered by use of a pass key and appropriated a considerable quantity of clothing, he reported to the police. A coat taken by the thief contained several valuable papers, he said. Fa great boon There are many mothers, nervous and rundown in vitality, to whom. Scott's Emulsion would be a great boon. It s the very genius ot Scott's Emulsion to build strength. Scott & Bwne. Bloomfield, N. J. ALSO MAKERS O :t!;H0II (Tablets or Granules) INDIGESTION an 20-lSsk Is house bill No. 21, enacted at the special session of the legislature for the purpose of placing all vehicles, operated on state highways for com pensatlon, under the supervision of the public service commission, so drawn as to prevent the use of state highways by. this class of motor vehicles? This question arose after attorneys for a number of bond and insurance companies examined . the law and held that the bill calls for conditions so Indefinite as to make it impossible to provide bonds or liability insur ance required under the act. Attorney-General Concurs. In this attitude, it Is reported, the attorney-general's office, in an in formal report, concurs, although there are a number" of attorneys who, after examining the bill, believe that the conditions of liability which must be met by the operators of the vehicles. or .their bondsmen, can be fixed by tne puolic service commission within the purvue of the act. Stage operators and men operating for-hire cars met in executive session esterday for the purpose of discus sing the situation that has arisen. Information that refutable bond houses and Insurance companies woum not give insurance ajcains liability, unless the attorney-general ruiea mat tne liability required could be defined clearly by the public serv ice commission, was discussed. Favorable Opinion Desired. staff who were analyzing the bill were re-portea at being hopeful that a rullnST nntllH h m.Ha that wniilil carry out the intent of the legislation unaer discussion. . The Question that ha arisen 1 over the wording of Section 6. In this sec tion, the public service commission m given numoniy to iix tne penal sum of the bonds or liability insur ance to cover personal injuries or property damage throug-h the negli gence of the operators of the vehicles operating on state highways for com pensation. Crnx of Arjcument Shown. The portion of the section which reads, "which surety bond or liability insurance shall bind the obligors thereunder to make compensation for injuries to persons and loss of or damage to property resulting from the operation of such vehicles" is the crux of the argument which has arisen. This particular part of the section, according to some of the attorneys, creates such a broad field of liability that it would be impossible to com pute rates for coverage, while on the other hand other attorneys maintain that the section simply calls for lia bility for Injuries to persons or prop erty loss resulting from the negli gence of operators of vehicles under the conditions of this particular act. Intent of Legislature Clear. "There is absolutely no reason to believe that this act precludes the use of highways to vehicles operating for compensation," said J. B. Kerr, prom inent attorney, last night. "The in tent of the legislature, as expressed in this act, is clear, and the power to define the limits of liability is con ferred upon the public service com mission. That's all there is to it." Despite this assurance, however, it is reported that the men who are operating sightseeing cars, passenger and freight carriers and for-hire cars are alarmed and are waiting for a constuctlon on the law which will make it possible for them to get the nocessary bonds or insurance. NEWBERRY VOTE OPPOSED Senator Jones Urged to Fight Re tention of Michigan Man. PUYALLUP. Wash., Jan. 7. (Spe cial.) W. H. Paulhamus, ex-senator of the Puyallup valley, who has been one of Senator Jones' most loyal sup porters from the time the senator was first nominated for congress, has ent the following telegram, to Senator Jones at Washington, D. C: "Would regret exceedingly to find your vote register as favoring re tention of Senator Newberry. You had same kind of fight to contend with, and you are in the United States senate today only because the state of Washington contained more unpurchaseable votes than otherwise. Poesibly you would have lost had the old man expended $263,000 In stead of about half that amount. Unrefuted testimony shows Newberry family alone spent fully $200,000. Newberry's excuse that he knew nothi lng of this expenditure is no defense. If $200,000 were expended Newberry 1." disqualified. Our people have lm plicu confidence in your honesty of purpose. You voted right when Stevenson of Wisconsin was under investigation. Conditions are same now. Urn vou to ake active stand in favor of giving poor man equal opportunity with rich man to become United States senator. Sometimes warm-heartedness may mellow best Judgment. I am hopeful you will stand as always." It is understood other friends of Senator Jones have sent similar tele grams. HOME FOR ADDICTS URGED WORLD EFFORT TO EXD DRUG EVIL SUGGESTED. Bureau to , Take Charge of Sales Until Afflicted Are Cared For Outlined at Civic Ijuncheon. The establishment of a state in stitution for the cure of drug addicts in a scientific manner was advocated by Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, in an address at the luncheon of the Civfb league at the Benson hotel yesterday. Dr. Parrish said the recommendation was the same as that made to city and state officials. . The speaker urged that the author ities conduct a bureau to take charge of the sale of drug to addicts to relieve their suffering until such time as they could be permanently cured. William F. Woodward urged for co operation among the nations of the world for putting an end to the drug naDit. He declared that half tne rev enues derived by the British govern ment from the orient was the result of the sale of drugs manufactured from poppies raised with the finan cial co-operation of that government. He aleo declared that the Japanese were manufacturing hypodermic out fits to a larger extent even than America. Many of these, he said, were sent to America and sold to drug addicts. Lester Humphreys, United States attorney, who spoke, exhibited a pack age of cocaine containing enough of the drug to bring $38,700 if sold at the customary price. This was one of several which had recently been taken from vendors of the drug, he said. Mr. Humphreys estimated that there were more than 1000 drug addicts in Portland. He said the care of the drug habit lies largely with the will, and the difficulty was due to the fact that the drug operates to destroy the will. W. J. Herwig. state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, and Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secre tary of the temperance board of the Methodist Episcopal church, washing- ton, r. C. both expressed the belief that the drug habit could be stamped out just as other things affecting public morals had been abolished. COLONEL LEADER SUES AUSTRALIAN1 NEWSPAPER IS ACCUSED OF LIBEL. Article Declaring ex-Military In structor Did Not Participate In War Rouses Lecturer. News that . Colonel John Leader, veteran of the world war and former military instructor at the University of Oregon who is now on a lecture tour of .Australia and New Zealand has instigates a libel suit for 10,000 pounds against the Smith Weekly, an Australian newspaper, has been re ceived by Mrs. Leader, who is in Portland and is at present the guest of Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, 1064 Thurman street. Colonel Leader left for the South seas last fall and has been lecturing in Australia and New Zealand under the auspices of the Ellison-White Chautauqua. The newspaper, accord ing to word received by Mrs. Leader, published an article charging that Colonel Leader had never been a soldier or served overseas and was otherwise fraudulent. Colonel Leader, as an officer in the British army, was severely wounded and gassed in an early engagement of the war and was in valided to the United States and assigned as military instructor at the University of Oregon. After the war he went Into the importing and exporting business in Portland with associates. In his letter to Mrs. Leader, Colonel Leader stated that his lec ture tour had been slightly inter. rupted by the - case, and that he might cable for further funds to carry on the case. The fact that he has not done so is an indication, Mr 8. Leader believes, that the' case has been settled in some way. . Permit for AVater Wanted. James S. Ball, 573 Gantenbein ave nue, has made a new application to State Engineer Cupper for a permit to divert water from Mill creek, trib utary to the Columbia river, for irri gation purposes.

CHANGE IN PLEA-SURPRISE Penalty Announced Following Chemawa Woman's Admission of Voluntary Manslaughter. A sentence of 10 years in prison was passed upon Mrs. Alma Wurtz barger in federal court yesterday when she changed a former plea of not guilty of first degree murder to guilty of voluntary manslaughter In the killing of her husband. Andrew J. Wurtzbarger, at the Chemawa In dian school on September 4. The plea cam3 as a distinct surprise in light of the fact that Mrs. Wurtz barger had repeatedly advanced stories of threats to kill and brutal abuse on the part of her husband. Federal Judge Bean, in passing sentence, gave the maximum possible for manslaughter and the minimum for second degree murder. He de clared, in a brief statement following the close of statements by counsel, that the legal aspect of the case clearly resembled second degree mur der in that no- struggle had taken place and no altercation arisen Imme diately before the fatal blow was struck. Prison at Salem Preferred. Under the sentence . Mrs. Wurtz barger must serve her term in a prison to be designated by the attorney-general. Her own request Is that she be sent to Salem. The murder occurred In a small cottage on the Chemawa Indian farm early in the morning of September 4. Mrs. Wurtzbarger entered the room where he husband lay sleeping and killed him with blows from a heavy hammer. She summoned a young nephew who bad been sleeping In an other room and fled to Salem, where she gave herself up and confessed the deed. Mrs. Wurtzbarger has consistently tefused to show any signs of re morse for the deed. She related stories of -the brutality of the hus band and asserted he had inflicted bodily injuries upon her and placed her in fear of her life. Brutalities Are Recounted. United States Attorney Humphreys, In reviewing the case before the court, told of Wurtzbarger's brutali ties and mentioned the night of the killing. as one time on which the hus band had mistreated his wife. Bert Haney and John Collier,, de fense attorneys, declared tnat Wurtz barger's cruelties had dated from his marriage to the woman in May, 1921. Mrs. Wurtzbarger had been married thre times previous to her marriage to Wurtzbarger. The first husband died. The second marriage resulted in a divorce, reconciliation and a second marriage and divorce. Wurtz barger would not allow ber to see her two children by a second mar riage, her attorneys brought out. Owing to the fact that the killing took place on government ground the case was found to be within the juris diction of the federal courts rather than those of Marion county. Husband Declared Pro-German. GRANTS PASS. Or., Jan. 7. (Spe cial.) Because her husband drank cream, and then placed padlocks, on the cans so that she and her daughter could not have any, Mrs. E,thel Allen Strahm Is suing her husband for a divorce.

Piles Cured to Stay Cured by a Few Mild Treatments """ v V V Dr. Dean is well known through out the northwest, having been lo cated in Portland eleven years, where for the last nine years he has been treating piles and other rectal con ditions by his mild, non - surgical methods. 1 tv-.- how!ong standing, the prolapse or treatment, a matter of twenty-four patient is not aware of the presence A simple method perfected by Dr. Charles J. Dean of rortland, Or., brings immediate renei ana quicK, permanent healing. No Form of Surgery Used Cutting, Burning:, Clamps, Stitches, Ligatures and other sometimes dangerous and disagreeable features of Old Systems are done away with. No Confinement to Bed or to the House There is no hospital bill to pay. no anesthetic, no nausea and post-operative vomiting, no shock or danger. Patients go about their usual dally occupations while undergoing treat, ment. Any sufferer from rectal disease can obtain Immediate relief and a quick and permanent cure through the simple method perfected bv Dr. Chas. J. Dean of Portland, Or. No surgery Is used in the Dean method for piles and a few mild, virtually painless treatments end the trouble for good. The patient is not put to bed. He need not even stay In his room. On the contrary, while undergoing treatment he may go about and do as he pleases. There is no loss of time, no hospital bill to pay, no pain and suffering as after a surgical operation and the results are permanent. 64.4 per cent of all cases of piles operated upon surgically reoccur la from two to four years. No Knife, Clamp, Burning, Etc. In the Dean method of curing piles no form of surgery is used. Cutting, burning, clomps, cautery, stitches, ligatures, etc., are done away with. The patient takes no anesthetic and has no disagreeable after-effects such as follow surgical operations. The treatments are rapid, gentle and soothing and in the majority of cases a cure is obtained in from ten days to two weeks. In cases of prolapsing or protruding piles, no matter of protrusion is absolutely done awav with following the first hours, and from then on until the treatment is finished the ot nis former trouDle. Chronic Sufferers Dumfounded I have patients come to me who have suffered for from twenty to thirty years, some who havs been operated on as much as three times and who have had their piles reoccur following each operation, who have used every type and kind of suppository, salve and lotion that their friends could suggest, until they finally become despondent and feel that nothing can be- done for them. When they come to me their concern is one of wondering can anything be done for them. Within three or four days their concern has changed from wondering "can they be cured?"' to one of "will I remain cured?" I ' c-" ' ' ' ; J I cannot underwrite a patient's future health, due to the F ' ', "1 fact that when thev leave mv nfficA r have no wav nf know- . ;l vl.J lng what their method of living is, what they are doing or I anything about them, and hence I cannot say that their piles will never reoccur, but I can say this, that I have been f treating piles by my non-surgical methods for nine years and during that time I have never had a case reoccur, and what is more, as a protection against any reoccurence, I give a guarantee in writing that if your piles ever do reoccur I ' will treat you free of any cost. . , In short there is not an objectionable feature about the treatment. I have spent several years studying and per- . fectinp my methods until today my mild non-surgical method t of treating piles Is free from pain, dangers, delays and the expense that go with other systems. The result is what is 1 iuugiiieu as me ideal pile treatment. CURING PILES i IUHJU... 11.JIJU,.I1J-WJS..U I..U..IUU.I..... LJ..I..U. .11" i Other Conditions Associated With and Due to Piles. Due to the elaborate and complex nerve distribution In the lower end of the rectum, the Beat of pile tumors, the number of reflex nerve disturbances in other parts of the body are eo numerous that It Is Impossible to enumerate them here, but as an example, I will cite two cases recently treated. Mr. A Portland insurance man suffered with epileptiform attacks for the past ten years. Had on an average of three attacks a week. Developed acute case of piles in June and came to me for treatment. Has had but one epileptiform attack since and that during a time when he was compelled to discontinue treatment due to business deal. Mrs. B Suffered with piles for 40 years, also what was diagnosed as a neuritis of the arms and legs which caused her untold suffering when on her feet for any length ot time. Neuritis completely disappeared within one week from the beginning of her pile treatment. Rectal Examinations. How often were you ever given a rectal examination, much less an examination of your colon? And do you know that fully 40 per cent of all chronic, obscure bodily ailments are directly due to diseased or abnormal conditions of the rec tum and colon? In your lodge examination, your Insurance examinations, etc., your heart, lungs, chest, abdomen, mouth, tonsils, eyes, etc., are all examined, but not your rectum. If, by chance, some doctor 'does happen to examine the rectum It merely consists of an ocular inspection of the external opening or at best the insertion of a finger. I am equipped to thoroughly examine both the colon and the rectum and to apply treatment directly to the parts affected, and It Is only by such examinations that the truo cause of constipation, piles, etc., can bo arrived at and properly treated. There Is Danger in Neglect There is unsuspected danger in rectal diseases. Hidden from sight they gradually become worse, they never recede but temporarily. Many" of the weaknesses anil ailments, especially backache so common in women, can often be traced directly to piles and removed by curing the piles because of the direct connection of the rectal nerves with those of the other organs. Cost of Treatment Considered from the standpoint of health, from the In creased earning power of the individual cured of piles, from the standpoint of suffering done away with and wrecked nervous systems returned to normal tone, the cost is In significant. If you are suffering with piles, come in and I will examine you and tell you Just what your condition is and what 1 can do for you. For this service I will not charee you any thing If you desire to be rid of your piles, I will make you a fixed fee for a complete removal of your trouble and to KU.M1NATE AlAj DOUBT AS TO THE RESULTS THAT 1 WILL, GIVE YOU.

CONSIDERS IT HIS IUTY. Dear Doctor Dean: I am writing to inform you that I am at present entirely free from Piles, the re sult of your treatment. As I told you when I first called, on you, I bad suffered for more than thirty years with a bad case of Protruding; and Hleedinir Piles. I had submitted to a sifrfftcal operation which left me In a worse condition than before operated on. Vou pronounced my case one of the very worst that had evr come under your observation, and now at the ae of 60 years, nearly half of which time I had suffered with that painful, weakening and depresstnn trouble, to find myself entirely free of Piles.
