commanding the Department of the Co
lumbia, He had arrived shortly after
o'clock this morning 'from Tacoma,
following an extended inspection of the
fortifications and atrategla advantages
of Puget sound.
e irsod for Alarm.
Though he was dressed In a simple
suit of blue "ciis," or civilian clothes,
Oeneral Wood looked every bit the sol
dier. Sturdy and heavy of build, his
every word ana aouoa expresses em
phasis and decision. There is little of
the painfully formal about this man,
who, entering the service as an army
doctor, has Instituted since his remark
able rise to command, probably more
reforms than any commander in arm
generationa. Easy to meet. General
Wood Is as easy to talk to.
"Portland has no reason to be alarmed
about the future of Vancouver," he said
emphatically. "Thta tajk has no foun
dation at all.
'Nor have I recommended, or decided,
aa the papers have said I have, that
Puget sound -la to be made the point
of concentration of troops tn the north
west I have done nothing of the kind.
If anybody tells you it Is settled that
Paget sound Is to be the point of con
centration, don't believe hint, for he
knows nothing about it Nobody knows
anything about it now. Nobody knows
what will be done.
Sxpeot Post Will ftemala.
"I expect Vancouver to remain, aa it
Is now, the headquarters of the De
partment of the Columbia, with the
commanding officer established here.
Just aa General M&ua is now. It is an
old and established post and no reasons
have ever been advanced for abandon
Ing It I have never heard such a
thing mentioned or discussed. When
the people of Portland "hear rumors of
that kind the beat thing to do is to pay
no attention to them, for they are hot
true.
"Of course one cannot tell what con
gress might do. But any move to aban
don Vancouver would come from con
gress, and not from the army.
'One reason why nobody Knows yet
where troops will be concentrated oh
this coast is that the concentration fea
ture la part of a general plan for the
future of the army. It is just like
planning a business ahead. It cannot
all be done at once. Congress may not
agree to it It all has to go before con
gress for approval, and unless congress
approves, the plan could not be carried
out
"In general, it Is plsnned to have
troops on the Pacific coast concentrated
at three important posts, but the loca
tion of these posts haa not been decided
on yet"
"General Wood, asked a reporter ir
relevantly, "are you any relative of
Hmoky Joe' Wood, the Red Sox twirl-
err '
General Wood smiled and there was a
pleasant twinkle In his eye. "I am
sorry to say that I'm not," confessed
the highest general in the army. "I
wish 1 were. He's doing great work,
This is General Wood's first visit here
since 1889, when he was' a young officer
only four years In the army, and on the
staff of General Miles, then stationed in
California. General Wood and General
Maus are old friends, having served to
gether in younger days.
General Wood said that he was much
pleased with conditions on Puget sound.

"Of course, we know about the coun
try from the official reports," he said,
"but that can't give the same idea of
It that a personal Inspection can. I went
over the country for 60 miles back of
Tacoma, and spent considerable time at
Port Townsend and vicinity. One object
of my Inspection, of course, was to de
cide on the availability of different
posts from a strategic standpoint. The
availability of the posts and their
strategic advantages all will be taken
Into consideration in picking the points
for concentrating troops.
"Remember, though, that this con
centration Is not to be a sudden thing,
but a gradual process, and something
to be planned for in future rather than
of the present"
General Wood was met at the depot
at Vancouver this morning by General
Maus and members of his staff, and at
9 o'clock there was a reception to him
at General Maus' headquarters, attend
ed by all the officers at Vancouver.
Among them was Colonel Toung, com
manding the Twenty-first Infantry, with
whom General Toung discussed condi

Colonel Morris, recently of Fort Leaven-

Rosenthal refused. Becker, angry, or

"Later Becker told me complaints

Rose declared Becker said he must

Then followed Becker's break with

An enthuslastla Wilson-Marshall rally
was held at University Park last night,
The meeting was largely attended and
the manner in which tha audience re-
snoiKied to the attacks on the records

tacked the record of Bourne in the sen
ate. He pointed out how Bourne had
upon the rioor of the senate oeciarea
that he did not understand the tariff
question and would leave it to Aldrlch,
and then voted with AJdrlch most of the
time. He said that neither Bourne nor
Ben Selling, the Republican, candidate.
had committed themselves upon the
tariff question, and that If either of
theirt had well defined views on tnat
question nobody knew what they were.
He lauded the record of Dr Lane aa
mayor of Portland and pleaded with the
audience to vote for the Democratic
canaldate and thus help to hold up the
hands of Governor Wilson in the-White

W. A. Munly -spoke in behalf of M.
G. Munly. his brother, Democratio can.
dldato for congress, who was unable to
attend. His address was a strong ap
peal to the voters to unite in the eiee
tlon of a Democratio house of representatives-to
support an incoming Dem-
ecratlo administration. He attacked the
record of the Republican party on (he
tariff question and charged the hlftW
tariff with being chiefly responsible
for the hlKh cost of living.
Samuel White urged the election of
Tom Word as sheriff. "Word, , ha
said, "will make a capable and honest
Official. He would unswervingly serve
the people who elected him, he would
enforce tbe law according to his oath
of office, and all law-abiding citizens
who believe in honesty and efficiency
in office and the policy of law in
forcement should support Tom Word."
W. T. Vaughn championed the can
dldaoy of Oglesby Young for circuit
Judges He said Young haa made a sue
cess as a lawyer, is thoroughly honest
and respected by the bar of Multnomah
county. He said tnat ueorge Tasweii,
the Republican nominee, had never to
his knowledge had a case in the circuit
court of this or any other county.
J, Woods Smith, candidate for sena
tor, promised a business man's admin
Istration. He resumed his attack on the
Initiative blue sky law. Ho supported
the principle of a blue sky law. but
said the measure now on the ballot Is
wrong in that It proposes to create a
corporation board at a cost of 336.000
to the taxpayers for the first year and
320,000 thereafter. He favored a law
such as he proposed to Introduce if
elected, creating a board eonsisting of
officers already elected without addi
tional cost to the taxpayers.
Ernest Kroner, Benjamin Brick and
Dr. Jack M. Yates asserted progressive
views on legislation. John B. Moon,
candidate for Justice of peace, and John
A Jeffrey, candidate for district attor
ney, delivered short addresses.

MOTHER OF 1 CP ARRESTED,-
DECLARES INNOCENCE
(Ipertsl to Tee JouroeU
Roseburg. Or., Oct. II. R. L. Hill,
cement worker, and Mrs. J. G. Epperson,
the mother of ten children, were arrest
ed here yesterday upon request of Coos
county authorities. The charge against
the couple was not made known. Hill
said he supposed the charge against
them is "living together as man and
wife." an accusation which both deny.
Hill has been living at a boarding bouso
where Mrs. Epperson was employed as
cook,- hut lived apart from -tha soman,
the officers ascertained. ' j "f"
Mrs. Epperson is 48 years of age, ner
ten children ranging from 10 to 21
years. She came here from Marshfleid,
leaving her husband purposely, she said,
because he failed to support hef fot
the past four years and attempted to
dispose of some of her property against
her will.
um Iia la shout: th same are as
Mrs. Epperson, arrived here fronj-?;
Marshfleld about six weeks ago. WbJTe I
at Marshfleld ho was a boarder at tha I
Epperson home.
Mrs. Epperson insists there is nothing
between ' hernd Hill --except rdtnaTr
f rlendshlp and . that . his coming to
Roseburg had nothing, whatever to do
with her locating here afterward. She
says . her husband has preferred the
charge against them purely out of
spite.
