That the scandal started by Thomas Clemens, cook on the cruiser Boston, on her recent cruise with the naval mi litia might be hushed up and peace again prevail in Oregon's Naval Reserve several of the officers chipped In today and raised the $4 due Clemens for his services as cook. Clemens raised a rumpus over the officers of the reserve, because, it Is said, he couldn't get his money as soon as he returned to Portland from the 10 days' cruise. "All bf the scandalous charges against the officers of the Naval Reserve were made by Clemens simply because his money was not forthcoming the day he arrived back from the cruise." as Id Chief Petty Officer J. A. Beckwlth, when' seen in his office In. the Fen ton building this morning. "The paymas ter had to have time to .get -his payroll ready and then it had to go down to Balem'and the money sent back hero. All of this requires time. Clemens bo- came so insistent and was. raising such rumpus that several of us decided to advance the amount of his wages and get rid Of him. 'qCemens' charges) that Captain Rey nolds was drunk while on the cruise are absolutely without foundation and were nothing but a - part of a clever scheme to force somebody to, put up the amount of his (Clemens') wages," continued Mr. Beckwlth. It was reported today that Clemens and the two or three other disaffected men who were on the cruise have agreed to let the matter drop. Captain Reynolds is at Coos Bay, hav ing remained there with the cruiser Boston. 1 lie expects to return to Port land In September. Paymaster Capron la busily engaged In getting up the pay roll of the reserve and expects to be able to forward It to Salem within the next few weeks. I,t is understood that Captain Reynolds when apprised by long distance telephone of the row being raised by Clemens, advised some of the local officers of the reserve to advance the money necessary to settle with the ship's cook. Paymaster Capron refused to make any effort to get Clemens his pay in advance of the time when the entire reserve .will be paid off, but In sisted that the cook should wait until such time as the payroll went through the regular military channels.
