This, In effect, is the con elusion reached by the lawyers for the defendants In the capltol graft cases. Every one of the 82 cases against the 14 defendants is on a different basis.

Under the circum stances, the defendants must stand to gether for their mutual benefit A general conference or the lawyers for the defense is to be held soon to outline a plan of action. An attempt waa made to do this at their conference yesterday and failed because all of the lawyers were not familiar with all the details of the individual cases. The result -wss the lawyers who were in court yesterday lor tne defendants were -compelled to consent to the plan suggested .by Attorney-General .Todd, That plan was that the trials should begin on.

Aa anticipated by many naval officers here, the At lantic battleship fleet has returned from target practice off Cape Cod bay badly shaken by the firing of the heavy guns. Reports are coming fast to the depart ment of the damage done to the Indi vidual ships, and there Is some appre hension that the navy department's idea to have the fleet in prime condition by December 1 may not be realised. The tructural weaknesses in parts of the hips, which seem unable to withstand the vibration caused by the gun firing. Is again forcibly brought home. It Is believed considerable additional work will now be necessary in case the fleet is to be started out on a war footing. For some time the firing or heavy guns has caused trouble to the depart ment. The bureau of ordnance has been kept busy repairing guns which have given way or cracked or had their muzzles blown off, and- the bureau of construction and repair has repeatedly been called upon to remedy damage done to the decks and other portions of the ships after target practice. Tne Daiiiesmp Missouri oy nring ner aw turret guns at once at level re cently damaged the deck so that more than $1,000 had to be expended to re pair it. Now the Ohio is damaged and a crack has been discovered in the powder chamber of one of her 12-Inch guns, which may cause the department embarrassment. The' gun may have to be replaced, which spens dirncuity, as there are few of these guns on hand nd It will be mrncult to get the work done In the allotted time. Both the Kearsarge and the Kentucky have returned from Cape Cod with their 8-lnch guns out of line, and both ships are rather badly shaken up. These 8-lnch guns must be removed from the turrets and placed parallel and other damage must be repaired. The Massa chusetts is having her 6-tnch batteries removed at the New York navy yard, and it is announced at the navy depart ment that she is not to carry her 6-lnch batteries when she starts for the Pa clflc. Whether this is due to damage sus tained recently Is not divulged. The order to remove the 6-lnch batteries was only approved today. The Rhode Inland is having work done on her 8-inch turrets. It is believed that prac tically every ship which participated In target practice will need additional work as a result of the shaking up caused by firing heavy guns. At the bureau of construction and repair, navy depnrtment, it has been explained that the decks are In some cases too weak to stand tha vibration caused by the heavy firing and that damage must necessarily result. It Is explained that this Is not unlooked for and causes the bureau no annoyance. Secretary Metcalf is adopting drastic measures to have everything in readi ness aboard the battleships of the At lantic fleet before they start for thej Pacific. Repairs are to be rushed with all possible speed, omcers in command are ordered to report immediately any defects in their whips and the depart ment is to devote additional and con centrated attention to the question of retting all repairs done in time for get ting the battleships in first-class condi tinn rv uecemoer i. Fearing difficulty, Secretary Metcalf today directed that no alterations of any kind be authorized for any of the ships, so that the men at the navy yards could devote all their time to the most necessary repair work. a Demands for repairs are coming in Phicic and fast. The Connecticut. Louis tana. Vermont and Kansas have askod for steam engineering wont, ana many of the battleships returning from tar tret nractlce have notified the navy de partment that more work is needed than they anticipated. This has led Secre tary Metcalf to order that repair work be rushed. The board of directors of the T. W. C. A. held their regular monthly meet ing yesterday when reports from all branchea of the work were heard. The financial report given by Mrs. H. C Campbell, vice-president, ahowed a sat lsfactory condition of the finances. 8he reported the receipts from various sources $1,555, which with the net bal ance on hand September 1. $1,091, gives a total of IJ.64S. Expenses for the month were $2,811, leaving a net bal ance of $m. Miss Constance McCorkle, general sec retary, submitted a report showing what had been done during the summer and outlining plana for the fall. At the Qearhart camp maintained by the asso ciation, 86 girls were oared for. A feature of Miss McCorkle's report was the change which has been made tn the dining-room at the association rooma. Formerly it was on the restaurant plan and the girls were served by waitresses. It haa been changed -to a cafeteria, at which the girls help themselves, and it Is thought that this will bring in many mora girls who wish to bring their lunch with them, adding to It a cup of tea or bowl of soup. It has been found entire ly practicable so far, and It girls were served there yesterday. Educational Work Progresses. The report of Miss Mary Day of the educational department showed tne num ber of enrollments at 78. A department of social art has been opened under Miss Bernlce Waring, formerly of Rochester Mechanlo institute. In this class 37 are now enrolled and much Interest li shown. The class in English for for elgn girls, and the class of good English for business girls are both growing rup- laiy. Miss Day haa charge also of the re llgious work and she reported In that department a steady growth in tne mem bershlp of Bible classes and in the Wednesday and Sunday night services. Although the classes have been open but two weeks, the attendance is almost equal to the highest mark reached last year. The Traveler's Aid department under Mrs. Lola o. Baldwin and the employ ment bureau, also under her charge, were reported to be doing as large a work as at any time. During the past month 102 girls applied tor work, and over half of these were placed In perma nent positions. Sho said that the de partment is making a strong effort to persuade the girls who apply for work to take domestic employment Instead of that In stores and factories, believ ing that the girl In a home has a better and more profitable place. Twenty foreign girls who arrived dur ing the month were aided; 61 girls who arrived at the depot and found no one to meet them were cared for; 6 emer gency cases were cared for at the emer gncy hospital maintained by the asso ciation at the union depot. Secure xany Positions. During the past nine months 272 Swedish girls bearing travelers' aid cards have been brought to Portland and placed In positions. It was due to the efforts of the Traveler's Aid depart ment that H. II. Hiftley was commuted to iall for Immoral work. Present at yesterday's meeting were the following members of the board of directors: Mrs. l. H. Amos, Mrs, Charles Basey. Mrs. W. H. Beharrell, Mrs. H. C. Campbell, Mrs. Helen Card- well, Mrs. J. T. Grey, Mrs. Robert F. Hall. Mrs. Carrie A. Holbrook, Mrs. W. J. Honey man, Mrs. Jacob Kamm, Mrs. W. S. Kinney and Dr. Sarah White sides. In the evening at the association rooms the first of a series of entertain ments under the educational department was given for members only. An audi ence which filled the rooms and over flowed into the hall showed the interest which this feature commands. Dr. Frank Caasaday read two scenes from "The Merchant of Venice" and Miss Delta Watson sang three Shakespearean songs In a delightful way. These aieet ings will be held monthly. The May Flower club, composed of the employes of the Meier & Frank company, will hold its meetings every Thursday evening, with program and music furnished by their own talent JUDGE TO VISIT CASCADES (OW CONCERT ill!

Mr. Crouse and wife came in last nlght over the O. R. & N. and registered at the Imperial He remem bers having, the puree about an hour before reaching Portland, but upon wak ing up this morning found it was gone. He thinks that either his pocket was gleked at .the Union depot or that a urglar entered his room last night and went through hla clothing.1 Ing, Carpenter and Day, contend that Mayor Lane exceeded his authoritv In dismissing them from service. Mayor Lane ordered the men dis missed in , August. 1906. The de tectives took the case Into the courts, which held that the charges were not specific and- therefore held the city name ror tne men s pay from August 1906, until July 1 this year, when Mayor Lane filed new charges of in subordination, inefficiency and incompe tencv against the men. The courts also dectded the detectives were entitled to $3, 600 as salary for th time theya were under suspension and the committee will probably apportion that sum among the discharged officers at tonight s meeting. OIL DRIPPERS 1ST WATCH A LITTLE OUT Mayor Signs Ordinance En tailing More Care From Auto Drivers. Mayor Lane today signed the ordi nance making it unlawful for automobile owners to drip Oil on the city pavements and It is expected that many proaecu tlons will follow. The ordinance was Instigated by the failure of the city officials to success fully proseoute a number of prominent physicians several weeks ago for drip ping oil on the streets. At that time it was found tnat the old ordinance had been passed for the purpose of prose cuting owners of oil wagons who made a practice of dripping their product tnrougn tne city streets. Tne ordinance follows: "It shall be unlawful for any nerson. either In person or by his agent or by his employe, to spill or permit to drip or otherwise to come into contact with any pavement composed wholly or In part of asphalt or similar substance, any liquid product of petroleum, acid or other substance that may. If deposited on such pavement, tend to its disintegra tion or injury." SHERIFF CALLED TO ARREST CRAZY MAN Georgo La ton of La Center Reports his urotner lias isecome Suddenly Insane.
