Former District Attorney John Man ning who waa In office when Max Prey, the states star witness in t he Martin case dropped out of sight announced this morning that lie had been assured by a personal friend of Prey's that the second hand denier and identifier of the '"bloody Bhirt" was in Chicago and was perfectly willing to return to Port-l.-ind whenever Martin Is tiled for the murder of Nathan Wolff. .Mr. Manning also resents the impli cation that ht might have assured the presence of Drey In the city by placing him under bonds and say that lnas much as Drey was a reputable merchant the law gave Him no right to take any , such arbitrary action. The former district attorney further more objects to anyone's saying that he was In office at the time Drey disap peared, he contending that District At torney Cameron had taken office be fore Drey left the city. At First and Sheridan streets, where Drey lived when he was in Portland, his formi i neighbors say that Drey left the cite ahoul the tenih of last 'May. saying he was going to hicago, and did not leave any address. "I am assured this morning." said Mr. Manning, "that prey is In Chicago, and will come buck to Portland whenever the trial of Martin begins, that In fact he Is anxious to return to testify. All that will have to I June Is to pay his railroad fare. I had no legal right to place a reputable merchant m jail to insure his being here ;is a wit ties, and 1 nndei stood that lie had a store on Front street and that there was no like lihood of his leaving the city. "As to the charge that I allowed Mrs. Martin's sister to get away, that also is untrue She left soon after the ar rest of Martin, but I first trod to get her to place her testimony in writing for us anil '-Ik refined. As a relative I think lu would be rather to the state's interests to h.'ic her iiwav- than here." Mr. Manning said he couldn't give the rame of his informant as to prey's whereabouts, nor would he give Prey's Chicago address.

" The statement Is sent forth that Taft had selected Congressman William It.

The next day Cromwell held a con ference with Taft, says the book, and as a result Taft appointed George K. Sheldon. New York banker, and "corpor ation man."

They fought until some one tried to separate them rind then the fight became general.

British naval cers in charge of the torpedo maneuvers In the Tyne were thrown Into a rage today by the sudden appear ance In their midst of the German torpedo boat "p 5," which they suspect of having been sent on a spying expedi tion. The German boat was boarded by British officers who demanded that th- commander of the Gorman boat explain its presence in tne i vne. The German said that while cruising off the coast his boat had been dis abled suddenly ami thut h was forced ti (.-.. 41... T.A. .. w.rt.,t..- "3 The German disclaimed any intenlion of spying on the British maneuvers and an Investigation of the "p 6" showed that the statement (hat she was dis abled was true. The Incident, however, has caused much bitter fueling on all sides. The. Hritl.di officers were furious when the German boat came up the Tyne. un noileed until she was actually within the territory of the maneuvers. The Germans a angrv at their re ception and at the suspicion of spy ing. They object to the manner in which the "p ft" was stopped In the British and protested against the nc tlon of the British officers In boarding the German ship. The appearance of the "P.V at once put a stop to the maneuvers, and they will not he resumed until next Monday, by which time the p F," was ordered to leave. The damage to her was slight and can he repaired ijiiioklv. It is expected that the' affair will become a matter for International con sideration, and the;.- n cverv prospect! that England will ask Oi.rniiinv for an official statement m i.-gnrd to the Inci dent. Intrusion Most Inopportune. The affair Is gW.-n extraordinary Im port a m-v in lew (,f the recent talk of war between Kngland and Germane be ing c.-t lain to coiee sooner or later. The lingo papers hi re. which have been dilating on in,- situation for muJiths, are greatly agitated over the Incident, and attach the utmost significance to It. The maneuvers he, rig conducted In the Tyne were of a secret nature and the navy was trying sonic of ine latest de velopments of torpedo warfare, which have been guarded elosel.v from obser vation bv foreign governments. The conservative view of the situa tion is base. oti the ground that the German bout cm, Id not have hoped to remain uii-mi ic-d and if the Germans had desired to sp ori the maneuvers some oilier method woull have beef, ihosen. The s-jspn on of spying Is greatly the outgrowth of the situation. The feeling .llspl.iv .-d. however, bv both the Germans ami the Kngllsh has given the matter Inteemitbwaal signiri cance, and It seems destined to become the basis of important official action.
