' United States Ambassador Page.
t London, May 2. (I. N. S.) United
States Ambassador Page delivered the
following message from President Wil

"I Join with all lovers of great liter
ature in unqualified admiration of the
great genius which spoke the human
spirit In fuller measure than any other
man of any race or age."
Tacoma Shows Fx port Gain
, Tacoma. WasH., May 2. (P. N. S.)
In Ihe first report compiled by Har
bormaster I O. Parka for a number
of months and which was completed
today, tremendous gains in exports are
shown during the year Just past over
that of the former years. The business
for' the port from April 1916 to the
Close of March amounted to $53,824,466.
The trial of J. L Kerchsn, manual
training supervisor . of the Portland .
schools, before the school board, has 1
simmered down 'pretty much to a!
cumulative rehearsal of his views on j
religion, militarism, socialism, the Boy,
Scout movement and kindred ' subjects. '
It has been brought out that his views j
on these .questions are quite radical,
but no witness so far has been able to I
quote his -remarks directly. All have I
been forced to "content themselves
with "the substance of what he said."
Manly Testimony Protested.
Isaac Swett, attorney for Kerchen,
protested vigorously and voluminous- '
ly against the action as un-American, j
when Chairman Munly ruled last night '
that B. K. Huston, principal of the
Holladay school, might testify to a
few private conversations with Kerch- :
en. Huston could remember nothinK
definite that Kerchen had said but said j
that Kerchen's views were "quite radi
cal." '
These views, according to Huston, '
Included beliefs that soldiers are real
ly hired assassins, that orthodox relig- .
Ions r.ave retarded Che progress of the
world and that the Bible does not state
the true origin' of life. Mr. Huston
expressed the opinion that no man
should air such views.
Kerchen's Efforts Balked.
Other witnesses last nlgnt were Leon
La Forge of the manual training teach
ing staff at Jefferson high school, who
said that he and the principal had
balked Kerchen's efforts to have the
manual training course of study there
altered and that Kerchen had sougnt ;
to boycott the school thereafter; H. E.
WJilte of the manual training depart
ment of Sunnyslde school, who re
membered hearing Kerchen making a
remark at a teachers' meeting which
he construed as a scoff at the Chris
tian religion, and G. H. Buston of the
manual training department of Jeffer
son high. Mr. Buston testified to hav
ing overheard Kerchen denounce mil
itarism and the Boy Scout movement
in a conversation with another teach
er, but he took such little interest in
the argument that 'he would not at
tempt last nigrht to quote -Kerchen di
rectly even in the minutest degree.
Fought Him Prom Start.
Superintendent Alderman asked V.
E. Chrislensen of the Washington
high, who had testified against Kerch
en, to state when it was that he and
La Forge had come to him to complain
about Kerchen. Christensen answered
thct It was about three months ago,
whereupon Mr. Alderman called the
board's attention to the fact that it
was about that long ago that Kerchen
had become supervisor of the high as
well as the grade schools.
"Yes it was about a week after
wards, Christensen volunteered. "We
started to fight him as soon as he was
put over us."
At a previous meeting Director Lock
wood, the only man who opposed the
recent re-election of Mr. Alderman,
brought out by questioning another
witness, also of a high school teaching
staff, that the charges had b '- made
to the board because Jlr. Alderman had
failed to investigate Kerchen upon de
mand of the latter" s subordinates.
