Police Judge Matthew Brady an nounced from the bench today that he was determined to issue a new order holding Frank C. Oxman, Oregon cat tleman and witness for the state jn the preparedness parade bomb explo sion cases, for trial in the superior court on a charge of attempting to induce a witness to give false testi mony. Samuel Shortrldge. Oxman's attor ney, stated that he understood the state supreme court's decision yester day, discharging Oxman from the cus tody of the sheriff and remanding him into the keeping of the chief of police, restored the case to the same status as before Oxman obtained his first writ of habeas corpus in the district court of appeals. Shortridge said that he might decide to put Oxman on the stand in the police court and asked a continuance until Monday. Judge Brady allowed the continu ance but said that, even If Oxmart should take the stand and deny the charges, the court would still find It necessary to hold Oxman.

I felt that unless Oregon followed suit the men would be deprived of an equal chance to get summer Jobs. Many ln Data concerning the recent failure of ! tend to go direct to farms throughout the quertermaster's of fiC6 to award to p - X-.,.. . 1 a Portland firm a contract for 3000 tons of oats for Philippine delivery, even after the. Portland firm was by far the lowest bidder, have been for warded to Senator Chamberlain by tho ! Chamber of Commerce. In detail the chamber takes up the arguments used by the quartermaster's department in its letter to Senator Chamberlain explaining Its action and shows that the argument? are entire ly unfounded. The letter follows: We have wired the quartermaster general as per copy attached, protest ing; against the statement of charges presented for sending the transport to this city. First. 24 days' sailing time l excessive. The actual dist.mrp from fesnTm Ss ll ! ape flattery 134 nautical miles. In the river a vessel will move from As- i toria to Portland easily in nine hours, and from Portland to Astoria in about eight hours, making 17 hours for the river. The time from Cape Flattery to the bar should not exceed 13 hours. The time from Seattle to Flattery snouid not be computed, because that distance would have to be traversed anyhow. The distance from th bar iv KA ; . I -. , 1 t - I . mo vi iciii, wucu A esati clears ' from PnrHnnH a nraxtlrnllir Manlll ' with the distance from Cape Flattery to the Orient, so that the only distance I . rAA . . , ,,, , that should be computed against us in t at dd Fellows hall, and was followed sending the vessel to this city is 17 j by Mr. Benson, who gave an illuminat- hours in the river and 13 hours from i .u , - the bar to Cape Flattery. This mak-s lnS messa " the meaning of the pro a total number of hours against us of . posed of $6,000,000 bond issue and Its 30. or li days, which, at JboO a day Is $812.50. Claim Char re la Excessive. The four days' loading time charged us is excessive, as the time, because the cargo v.ould be taken on board by a commercial liner In from ls to days at the outside. More than this, it requires no longer to load the same cargo here than at Seattle, and no time wnaiever snouia De cnargea against. i una pun in iuuuinK, eiiium&iiriK nus item entirely The $000 pilotage and towage charged us is also erroneous. There is no tow age and the pilotage for the Dlx would be at the maximum $305. If this pi lotage is a factor, it will be absorbed by the chamber or the Port of Port land, making no cost whatever under this head. The wharfage Item of $500 also Is erroneous, as the contracts provide I for delivery of the oats F. A. S.. or at J ship's side, and no wharfage is charged whatsoever. i This makes the maximum that could rightfully be charged against our port in taking this cargo here $812.50. Protest Xs Vigorous. I am Instructed by the board of di rectors to protest most emphatically against the statements made by the quartermaster's department that there is danger on the Columbia river bar. and may be delays. We have a wide channel there now, with a mean lower i low level depth of 40 feet, or average : tide- 47.5 feet. The Dix would not ; draw above 26 feet. t The authenticity of our statements ; as to the depth of the channel on the bar is based upon figures filed month- j ly in the war department by the Unit- . ed States engineers. ! We protest further against what seems like a studied policy of charg- ! ing against u.s excessive figures by I government departments when figur- 1 Ing on business in this port. When j the Alaska engineering commission was j considering the delivery from here of 6.000,000 feet of lumber for Alaska. I they charged against us from $2 to ' $2.50 per thousand higher costs, when a private company had actually taken I lumber out of the port for a cost that j could not be made higher than 33 to , 40 cents per thousand feet. It is this . lack of Information In the government 1 departments considering our port, or j hostility directed against the port, i that is driving this community Into a: state of desperation as to how we may possibly get exact information before i the government departments in respect to channel conditions and port costs.

At his personal request, a board composed of nationally known lawyers, jurists and military advisers is In session here today, shaping a policy of equitable : exemptions. The recommendations of these ad visers are to be made the basis of the president's proclamation of classes of exemptions from selective service. f In the selective service bill Presi dent Wilson is giving authority to de fine certain classes of Industrial workers that will be granted exemp- I tlon from actual field service. Such 1 classes will be Industries necessary to the maintenance of the military ma chine. m Personnel Kept Secret, Administration officials refused to rnake known the personnel of the ' "president's advisory board."
