Cannon Lulled Him
To Sleep But Babe's
Cry Awakened Him
Dr. Splro SargenUch spent 18
months as a surgeon with the
Serbian troops and with the 4t
; Russian Red Cross.
He heard the. roar of battle
and the moans of the sick and
the shrieks of the dying,
'He slept undisturbed by bom-
bardments or the whirr over"
head of enemy aviators.
Neither the noises nor the
awful silences of war affected
him. When he had time to t
sleep, he was ab.le to sleep.
Yesterday morning he came
down to the lobby of his hotel -
at an early hour, a very early
hour. . in
"Hang It all," he complained.
"I can't sleep. There's a baby
In the next room that has kept
me awake all night."

Too Much for Him

Alum and camphor proved too much
for Nels Peterson, who is recovering
at the city. Jail today from a drink of
alcohol, bought "for external use only."
A druggist at Grand avenue and Kast
Morrison street had put 20 grains of
alum and 6 grains of camphor in a
pint of alcohol ordered by Peterson,
Just so the man could not drink It.
Patrolman Bowers found Peterson un
conscious on the sidewalk last night.
Supply Station Is -Located

Quartermaster's Department Hero
Equipped to Store Property That
War Be Required For TJse of Army.
That Portland may become the place
for an Important supply station of
the United States army is the belief
of many who have learned of th
recent establishment of a temporary
storehouse at 429 Stark street.
It is pointed out that with the out
break of trouble on. Mexican frontier,
the possibility of army stores beins
needed in the southwest has become
apparent, and stations for the pur
chase and assembling of army sup
plies might be necessary at convenient
points along the Pacific coast.
interest due on dock bonds, covering
various series as follows: On St. Johns
dock. $1800; series "A," $1125; "B,"
$28,125; "F," $2250.
Objection Had Been Xalsed.
The commission hesitated when it
came to the appointment of a janitor
for the commission's new offices at
the foot of Stark street. Henry C.
Allen stood highest on the civil ser
vice eligible list, but Mayor Albee re
corded objection to his appointment on
the ground that city property had
been found in his room. The court,
it appears, cleared him of the charge.
Further Investigation was ordered,
after comments to the effect that when
a court clears a man In America he
should not be persecuted by officials.

'Tear Ago, Za Explanation of
City Official.
The second garbage 4ncinerattr Is
not to be constructed this year, ac
cording to announcement of Will H.
Daly, commissioner of public utilities,
today. He' says that the amount of
garbage in Portland has been reduced,
and as result there is no pressing need
for the construction of the second
plant.
This means that bond authorized
for the construction of the second
plant are not to be sold this year, and
the city will save approximately $35,
000, which would be necessary to main
tain the plant and pay interest on the
bonds. i
"The present plant is working Its
full capacity," said Daly, "but it Is
adequate to handle all the, garbage col
lected each day. The amount of gar
bage collected now is much less than
collected two years ago. Undoubtedly,
this means that the people are more
economical and are wasting lesn than
formerly. Many people who had their
garbage collected are living In apart
ment houses, where the garbage Is
there burned.
Commissioner Daly says that he will
do nothing toward the establishment
of a municipal garbage collection sys
tem unless a plan Is formulated for
collecting garbage free of chargt. The
plan was rejected by the voters last
Jane, but the authorisation previously
of a bond issue for the establishment
of a collection system with charges for
collection of garbage Is still vplid.

none would buy.

NAVAL BASE CLAIM
CLINCHED BY STAMP
OF PRIOR FINDINGS
Deepening of Channel Re

tion Is Not Needed,
Further investigation Is unnecessary
to establish the feasibility of the
mouth of the Columbia as a site for a
first class naval base, telegraphed
Milton A. Miller, collector of Internal
revenue, to Secretary of the Navy Jo
sephus Daniels, today.
Facts are clear and on record, per
sists the message. No naval board
could show more convincingly the in
formation already assembled by gov
ernment authorities nd time only

tary's suggestion of a naval board
investigation be complied wfth in re
spect to the mouth of the Columbia
river. The message reads as follows:
"Honorable Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy. Washington, D. C:
"I respectfully call your attention to
the fact that the harbor of tne Co
lumbia river was investigated by ex
pert naval committee in 1900, who
reported substantially that location
was ideal for naval base except that
the depth of channel entrr.nce at that
time was insufficient for needs Of
navy
"This defect has now been remedied.
Tou can satisfy yourself of exact
facts by reference to engineers' records

of entrance of Columbia, now being
blue-printed for transmission to. chief
of U. S. engineers, can be ascertained
by war department on telegram to
Major Henry C. Jewett, corps engi
neers U. S. A., Portland, Or.
"My judgment is that Columbia river
is now equipped fully from -natural
and engineering standpoints for im
mediate recognition as site of naval
base of first class. The sentiment of
entire northwest is for recognition of
this river now in the Interest of ade
quate coast defense and also as an
essential factor of national defense.
"I cannot but feel that the Columbia
river is of vital national importance
and hope you will so consider it. Noth
ing but strength and commendation
can come to your administration by
so doing. Kind personal regards.

Chinese Held in Jail;
Awaits Deportation
Taint Bop for as Appeal Ues In the
Ability of Celestial to Obtain neces
sary Money to Pignt Case.
Jew Song Qwong is now in the coun
ty jail, awaiting deportation to China
April 18, in accord With the order of
Federal Judge Wolverton.
Pending decision by the court, Jew
was at liberty on 500 bonds, which
expired with the issuance of the order.
He was taken to jail yesterday by Dep
uty Marshal Jackson.
Although federal officials say there
is no hope for Jew to remain in the
United States, it is understood that
there are lawyers willing to handle his
appeal if he can get tbe necessary
money from an uncle In Louisiana, to
whom he has telegraphed.
Jew came to the United States from
China when he was seven years old,
but without proper credentials. That
was in 1890, he says. Federal officials
say it was four or fjve years later than
that.
As a youth, he attended Hill Military
academy. As a man he has conducted
Chinese lottery, having been arrested
for that offense five times.

TY0 MAIMED BOYS
IN COURT; ONE THE
ACCUSER OF OTHER
Row Between Business Com
petitors Followed by At
tack With Crutch.
COLORED LAD IS ARRESTED
Case Against Boy Will Be Beard by
the juTenile Court at Totaor- ,
row's Session.
Two crippled boys, each permanent
ly consigned to walk on crutches. In
court in an assault and battery case,
was the unusual sight in Judge Jones'
department of the district court. One
was the complaining witness and the
other was the defendant.
Many Portland people know Dan
O'Mara, the newsboy who has eold
papers at Fifth and Washington streets
for the last six or eight years. His
back is deformed and one leg is not
of much-use, but he has a genial smile
and he is a business hustler. He has
many patrons who buy his." papers.
One day Joseph Shaffer Jr., a colored
boy, hobbled up to the busy comer at
Fifth and Washington streets with a
bundle of papers under his arm. One
of his legs also swings limp from hie
hip.
Dan O'Mara had a competitor. Dan
thought he had more than a compet
itor. He considered that his rights
were being encroached upon. He ar
gued the question, with Joseph. The
colored boy used his crutch as a weap
on and inflicted a nasty bruise, across
the white boy's face.
Dan went to the district attorney's
office. Deputy Mowry made out a
complaint, charging assault and bat
tery, which Dan signed. No one was
more surprised than Deputy Mowry
.when the colored boy was brought Into
court and he, too, was a cripple.
As the colored boy is under 18 years
old. Judge Jones turned him over to
the juvenile court, and his case will
come up for hearing tomorrow.
ALLOWS NON-SUIT MOTION
Father's Guarantee of Son's Debts
Is at Issue.
When a father guarantees the pay
ment of his son's bills, the guaran
tee is void unless it shows that some
consideration has been given the
father.
This was the decision of Judge
Gantenbein when he allowed a motion
for a non-suit In the action brought by
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. against R. B.
Knight, pioneer druggist, to collect
$1642 on the account of Mr. Knight's
Bon. G. R. Knight.
When the son opened a feed store
at 328 North Seventeenth street, the
elder Knight gave Balfour, Guthrie &
Co. a written guarantee for the pay
ment of his son's account up to $2500,
The son failed in business and the
company took over the store. The de
fendants claimed that when the store
was taken over that was in full set
tlement of all claims, while the com'
pany alleged that $1642 was still due
and brought suit on the guarantee.'
TEACHER FREED BY COURT
Case Against C. M. M. Wright Is
Dismissed.
Charges against C. M. M. Wright,
teacher of penmanship and shorthand,
were dismissed on motion of the dis
trict attorney in Judge Jones' court
yesterday afternoon. This motion was
made at the request of J. K. Gill &
Co.. who had made complain against
Wright, charging him with obtaining
money, under false pretenses. Wright
explained his transactions and has
taken up the checks issued. While
employed at Sherwood,, he said, he had
a small balance in- a bank at Roseburg
and sent the bank a check for $25 to
be deposited to his account. Then he
drew checks against this deposit, but
it appears that the bank never re
ceived the deposit, so the checks were
returned unpaid for want of funds.
' Loses Damage Suit.
On the grounds of insufficient evi
dence. Judge Gatens allowed a motion
for a non-suit in the action brought by
E. L. Dlmmitt. Jr.. administrator of
the estate of Fred Dimmitt, against
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
company for $7500 damages for the
death of Fred Dimmitt. The court
held that the evidence did not show
that the street car company was re
sponsible for the death, which occurred
as the result of injuries received Sep
tember 5, 1914, when Dimmitt was at
tempting to board a Mount Scott car,
Divorce Suits Filed.
