Claim of Great Age Accepted.
The United States bureau of Indian
affairs, the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation society and va
rious other historical societias that
interested themselves In this famous
aborigine, in fact, had been led to
acceot the claim of Ga-be-nah-gewn-wonce
and his fellow Indians on the
Minnesota reservation that he was
"the oldest living person in the
world."
The date of his birth had been fig
ured back by some authorities as
earlv as 1787, which would have made
hlra 135 years old just about as old
as the Constitution of the United
States while others contended that
he was born in 1793. which would
have made him lis.
rirwaker mt Blarktoot Tribe.
Ga-be-nah-gewn-wonce was also
known as Wah-ha-gunta," and would
even answer to plain John Smith. 1
According to the bureau of Indian
affairs, he was firemaker of the' once
powerful Blackfoot tribe. His de
clining days were spent on the north
bank of Mud lake. 12 miles from the
village of Ball Club. Minn., where he
lived in a hut of birch bark. He out
lived several wives, and when long
past the century mark he was still
young enough to woo another.
His once powerful frame had slow
Iv wasted, his hair turned pure white
and his face became seamed like a
walrus hide, but his step was still
sprightly, and he never stepped from
his hut without humming some tune.
Hi-s unusual fondness for music was
one of his peculiarities. Often he
walked the 12 miles to Bail Club to
hear a piano or violin, his favorite
musical instruments. When a rag
time air was struck up. the old Indian
would smile broadly, his black, heady
eves would sparkle and he would lift
his shoulders and snap his fingers in
real cabaret style.
Indian's Memory Remarkable.
Historians made use of the Indian's
remarkable memory to corroborate
stories of the Indian fights, some of
them back as far as 1S0O. Smith was
often able to give the year, month
and sometimes the day of Indian hap
penings that had been lost track of.
One event in his early life which
the aged Indian related in detail, and
wjiich he declared Is imprinted even
more firmly in his memory than im
portant happenings of the last few
years, is a massacre by the Sioux
Indians in Minnesota near the present
sites of the Twin Cities. The mas
sacre resulted from an effort by a
missionary, known to the Indians as
Pah-de-gree. to effect a conciliation
between the Sioux and Chippewas.
Manr hundreds of the latter were
slain. Smith says he was but 10 years
old at that time.
Star Fall" In ISM Recalled.
The "falling of the stars," the
shower of meteors that occurred in
1833. he recalled minutely. He was
about 40 years old at that time.
In a recent interview Smith said,
through an interpreter, that 40 years
ago he could speak English quite flu-

Candidacy for Legislature Is Ap-
proved by Principals.
Indorsement of William F. Wood
ward and his platform as a candidate
for the state legislature was made
yesterday by the Portland School
Principals' association at their regu
lar meeting.
In the announcement of his candi
dacy for the legislature Mr. Wood
ward, now a member of the school
board of Portland, declared that he
stood for free textbooks, the policy
of having school elections and general
elections at the same time, like quali
fications for voting in both school
and general elections, and a term of
office for school directors of four
years.
These four principles were indorsed
by the principals.
PLEA MADE FOR SAFETY
Engineers Demand Adequate. Staff
of Building Inspectors.
A plea for an adequate building in
spection force, sufficiently paid to
insure competent service, is made in
a letter sent to Mayor Baker yester
day by B. M. Howard, secretary of
the Oregon chapter of the American
Association of Engineers.
Recent building catastrophic in
New York and Washington. D. C, are
cited in the letter as evidence of the
need of adequate inspection.
"When hundreds lie dead, the
people and their newspapers see
clearly the importance of their build
ing departments." the letter states.
"W hen budgets are being made short
sighted taxpayers loom large in the
legislator's mind."
Vital issues of Inquiry Clouded by
Extraneous Allegations, Says
Arthur M. Geary.
Certain specifications that were
placed in the charges made by the
government against Dr. N. B. Way
son, head of the local public health
service, are a violation of the rules
ana regulations of the public health
service and constitute a "prosMtution
of the court-martial procedure," ac
cording to Arthur M. Geary, in a let
ter written, to James J. Crossley, com
mander of Portland post of the Amer
ican Legion.
Mr. Geary implies in his letter that
the charges were drawn in Washing
ton in such a manner as to give Dr.
Wayson the advantage in the pro
ceedings of the investigation.
Mr. Geary was asked by Commander
Crossley to act as counsel for Dr.
Joseph Bolton of the public health
service in the prosecution of the case.
Indictment Held Flimsy.
A portion of his letter to Com
mander Crossley is as follows:
Instead of Dr. Wayson being tried
on two charges and three or four
specifications, the authority at Wash
ington who drew up the charges and
specifications included a number of
specifications which the preliminary
hearing clearly indicated were either
trivial or impossible of proof.
"The including of these specifica
tions was a violation of the rules and
.regulations of the public health serv
ice and a prostitution of the court
martial procedure, whether intended
or not, to use as a medium of gain
ing publicity for Dr. Wayson and of
bringing into publio ridicule his many
accusers.
Straw Men in Front Line.
"No man can watch the proceed
ings closely and fail to discern here
and there specifications that are
straw men, upon which Dr. Wayson
and his attorney made . frontal at
tacks with great gusto.
"Dr. Wayson's own admissions con
clusively prove that disabled veter
ans In many Instances have not re
ceived the treatment they were en
titled to. Such a situation should
arouse the sympathetic interest of
every patriotic man and woman in
Oregon.
I will be glad to go fully into this
misuse of the court-martial system
before the executive committee of the
American legion."
Sportsmanship Held Lacking.
When informed of Mr. Geary's let
ter, David Robinson, an officer of the
public health service who is defend
ing Dr. Wayson, declared that the
complainant was not displaying good
sportsmanship by his attitude.
"If the prosecution does not believe
that the charges that have been
placed against Dr. Wayson are im
portant enough to go to trial. Dr.
Bolton and his associates have the
right to move for a dismissal," said
Mr. Robinson. "I would have pre
ferred that several of the specifica
tions not be tried but the prosecution
has insisted and we have been forced
into trial on every specification.
When the prosecution has the
right to ask the court for a dismissa
it is decidedly unfair for Mr. Geary
to make such statements in his letter
to Commander Crossley. It Is poor
sportsmanship."
Preliminary Evidence Wanted.
Mr. Robinson declared that he was
called into the case'just a short time
before the hearing began and that he
did not know a great deal regarding
the charges until they were placed
before the court.
'I have been endeavoring to obtain
the reports of the evidence submitted
to Dr. DeValin and Dr. McCallman, in
their preliminary examination of the
charges against Dr. Wayson," said
Mr. Robinson. "In this I have failed.
do 'hot know what the evidence was
that was brought out in the prelim
inary hearing. The prosecution has
these reports.'1
The hearing was adjourned yester
day and will not be resumed until
Tuesday morning at 10 o clock.

Interference by India is also blamed

EW YORK, Feb. 11. Memories
of the stirring days of the 60s
will be revived March 9 when
dignitaries of two nations gather
here with technical and civic societies
to honor- Captain John Ericsson and
his partner, Cornelius, H. Delamater,
on the 60th anniversary of the battle
between the first armored battleships
Monitor and Merrimac.
Four tablets will be erected to the
designer and builder of the first tur
reted battleship, and in the evening
an Ericsson-Delamater banquet will
be held, to which have been invited
President Harding, Seftretary of the
Xavy Denby, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and other representatives
of American officialdom, as well as
the minister and consul-general from
Ericsson's native Sweden. The occa
sion will be celebrated simultaneously
in Stockholm by the Associated Swed
ish Engineers, members of the Swed
ish royal family and American diplo
matic representatives participating.
Fnr Tablets to Be Placed.
One of the tablets to be erected
here will be unveiled at the Phoenix
foundry, where Ericsson built the
first iron boats constructed in Amer
ica, and also brought out his then
ridiculed screw propeller.
Another will be unveiled on the
site of the Delamater Iron works,
where the engines for the Monitor,
the first self-propelled torpedo and
the first submarine were built-
The third tablet will be placed at I
, the Continental Iron works in Brook
lyn, where the hull of the Monitor
was built.
The fourth will be unveiled at 36
Beach street, where Ericsson made his
home in New York and where he died
March 8, 1889.
Ericsson already has been honored
by a statue which stands in Battery
Park, near the spot where the naval
pioneer experienced, in 1844, one of
the bitterest of the many bitter dis
appointments of his early career.
, Accident on Princeton Recalled.
Ericsson had Been taken under the
wing of Lieutenant Robert F. Stock
ten of the United States navy and
commissioned ' to design the battle
snip Princeton, the first iron battle
ship with its boilers-and engine be
low tne water line, and the precursor
of the modern dreadnought.
When the Princeton started for
Washington for demonstration befora
President Tyler and other govern
ment officials, Ericsson was waiting
at the Battery, expecting to be taken
aboard for the cruise. But the
Princeton sailed majestically past
without stopping. A few days
later a big gun, against the design
of which Ericsson had protested to
Lieutenant Stockton, exploded at th
conclusion of the tests, killing Seo
retary of Sate Upshur, Secretary of
Navy Gilmer, Senator Maxey, two
naval officers and President Tyler's
bodyguard.
The accident lea to an estrange
ment between Ericsson and his
patron, and Ericsson sank into com
parative . obliivion until the Union's
need of a battleship to meet the Con
federacy's threatening Merrimac re
stored him to official favor and
brought acceptance of the Monitor
plans.
