ASKED IMMEDIATE TRIAL Preparations Were Hade for Departure to Other TUUm Wtai Man Was Caught. In the arrcet of "Doctor" C.

Child 8, who wu caught when prepar lng to make a quiet exit from the city with what he had left of $800 obtained from two Portland men, was bound over to the grand Jury after a prelimi nary hearing before District Judge Jones. When arrested yesterday morn ing the "doctor" demanded an Immedi ate trial. He- was accommodated In the afternoon, and bail bond was fixed at $2500. All preparations had been made by Child and his wife to move .to other fields when Deputy Constables Druhot. Nlcholls and Keller dropped In. Trunks had been packed and sent to' the sta tion, stenographers notes and records In Childs' office, 413 Stock Exchange building-, had been destroyed and office fixtures crated ready for shipment. Stenographer Attaches Furniture. A stenographer, who says Childs owes her $38 salary, has attached the office furnishings. J. C. German and Carl Andrews, who hold a note given by Childs for 12000. are looking for other property to attach. There are other creditors. All Messrs. Garman and Andrews have found on which to take a lien are a few hundred bottles of pink fluid branded "Catarrh Remedy," and a few hundred more empty flasks. Childs represented to Garman and Andrews that he had western rlRht for the sale of a catarrh medicine sup posed to be manufactured by a reliable patent medicine firm in St. Louis. Garman -was induced to furnish the cash. Andrews grave Garman a mort gage on real estate, and lien also was taken on Childs' "stock," Ho Representative Here. For the loan of $800 obtained from Garman and Andrews, Childs gave his personal note for $2000. The addi tional $1200 was a bonus he promised to pay the backers of the business. A telegram received last night by the district attorney from the manu facturer Childs purported to repre sent said that the company had no authorized representative in Portland and knew of no such persons as Childs or "Goodrich," who Childs says was bis partner. Childs was recognized yesterday as the man who passed a worthless check for $37.50 on the manager of th Madi son Park apartments. This check was sfgned "Dr. C. Howard Childs." Since that time Childs is said to have been In trouble In San Francisco. Broken Light Wire Is Cause of Trouble Yairfeborhood Paula. Two Tixm Alarms I and.

NAVAL BASE ON COLUMBIA TO BE INSISTED UPON (Continued From Page One.) point, to have the Columbia river possible as a harbor of refuge and re pair tor naval vessels, more especial ly as the entrance to the Puget sound naval station lies between shores, one of which belongs to another nation." At the time this hoard reported in 1900 there were only about 23 feet of water on the Columbia bar, and as 10 or 12 feet in the clear are needed under the keel of heavy vessels, the board made an adverse report on the depth of water. Then it added: "Should the proposed improvement of the bar and channel be carried out and get the depth expected, the board is of opinion that the location on the Columbia of a drydock and naval sta tion would be moat desirable from the undoubted advantages possessed by the river." Plenty of Water at Month. Now, it is contended, the objec tion made in 1900 is no longer ten able, as the Columbia improvement has reached more than the depth re quired. With the desirability of the station thus backed up by the naval experts, it is regarded as only a question of time until the govern ment establishes a base at that point. Secretary Daniels, however, Is not prepared to recommend a new bane anywhere "this year," and his posi tion will no doubt be sustained by the house committee, in view of th already large proportions of the navy program. He has not, however, fore closed the renewal of the plaa at some other time, and Congressman Hawley considers this a good time to bring out the advantages of the Co lumbia river, so it will have a "run ning start" for some future time.

"Mr. Lafferty, nor any other per-. son, will be permitted to use my frank for sending out speeches, said the Iowa senator. "I consider that would be a violation of law and a gross violation of principle.

FIGHTING IS UNEQUALED Germans TTslng' BCaay Times More Shells Than Trench Xld in Their Offensive la the Champagne. By William Philip Slmms. Paris, March S. (U. P.) -Renewal of the German attack ag-alnst the Ver dun forts convinced military experts here today that the kaiser's offensive is the "real thing." Its cost is ghastly. German dead lie strewn in the woods and on the hills so that from a dis tance ths fields seem covered with a strange, gray-green growth. Not alone because of such sacrifices as this vision gives, but also because of the German preparations and shell ing, ciitice believe the drive against Verdun is not a feint. They are not unmindful, though, of the possibility of a sudden thrust In the Champagne or nearer to Paris along the Aisne. Witnesses of the struggle agree that the Verdun battle constitutes the heav iest fighting of the entire war. The Germans are shooting many times more shells than the French did in the September offensive In the Champagne, and the flower of the German troops la participating. Despite his .losses, the kaiser must strike with his maximum strength, it is believed, or his prestige and morale will suffer. If he succeeds in captur ing Verdun, the war will only be pro longed; If he falls, he must realise that be is definitely beaten. Paris calmly and confidently awaits the outcome, believing that in the final turn of the battle wheel, success will rest with the tricolor. GERMANS FOUGHT AND KILLED COMRADES IN D0UAUM0NT ATTACK Paris, March t. (I. N. S.) A wounded officer, describing- the des perate fighting on Monday night around Douaumont, says: "The Germans attacked the village eight times In succession but were beaten back by two French regiments. The first attacks were defeated by machine guns and 76s, but after mid night the men of the guard and the fifteenth corps returned even more doggedly, no longer In closed formation. "They advanced as If on parade to within 20 yards of the French de fenses, then they rushed forward. The leading ranks were mown down by machine guns. Then the French com mander cried: 'Fix bayonets. Charge! . Ken Charge on Comrades. "A terrific hand-to-hand struggle followed In the darkness, lighted by luminous shells in searchlights. A Prussian noncommissioned officer was foundt afterwards with his breast pierced with a German bayonet. A German company In the melee charged a section advancing to its support. "Not till daybreak did the struggle end. At the entrance to the village German corpses lay in heaps with the wounded whom It has been Impossible to rescue." Another grim mining episode, the heroes of which are three wounded "pollus." occurred on the outskirts of the Vauche wood. The story Is told by one of them: Wine Makers Buried. "Bernard, Jean and myself were or dered to prepare a mine directly the Germans came our way. When the storm of shells began to abate we started with electric lamps, picks and powder fuses through a long sap, at the end of which we were to lay the mine In an excavation already pre pared. "We did our work and went back. We had not proceeded far when a frightful explosion shook the earth. We sprang forward. The outlet was blocked with stones and ws were doomed. A hell bad burst over our gallery and choked It with earth and stones. Jean cried out: Our doom la sealed, What's the good of waiting to die by starvatlonr He polled out his revolver.
