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.
