SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1918. 13 FEDERAL DRAGNET hSpd'arrfS Daily Scourings of Restricted Waterfront Area Since Nov. 28 Have Brought Up Many. ESPIONAGE GETS SEVERAL Alleged Slackers, Also, to Num ber of 70, Have Been Taken Into Custody by Marshals. Dally scouring ' of the restricted waterfront area since the president's proclamation which went Into effect November 28, have resulted In 120 alien enemies being- booked on the prisoners' docket of United States Mar shal Alexander. gurtdsy and Saturday night trips by deputy marshals were more prolific than those of any other time, scarcely a week end having passed without a half dosen to a dozen alien enemies being rounded up. ; All of " these arrests, however, do not represent the number of aliens summoned to- appear before .federal authorities for examination. Many are ordered to report and after examina tlon are released. - Methods of locating alien enemies in most cases have been simple, yet effective. . Sbaple Methods ITied , Waterfront hotel and lodging houses yield the greatest number of aliens. Deputies scan house registers for Teu tonic names and listen keenly, for conversations In German, Owners of Teutonic visages are In terrogated. ;' Approaching a suspect a deputy might ask him' his nationality. "Ay bane Svede," may be the reply apd It the officer Is convinced the speaker Is not a good .actor he is dis missed. Sometimes a suspect's name is asked and sometimes another question Tired at him. ManV of the alien enemies Who have been arrested declare that they either did not know of the president's proc , lamation ordering them to stay away from within 100 yards of the water front or that they had been In the restricted district but once. Others Arrested for Espionage '.These excuses seldom bear the weight that the speaker hopes for. Allen enemies have only but to set foot within the district to violate the proc lamation and make them subject to in ; ternment. " , (While baiting their dragnet with Bauer kraut and limburger cheese to Germans, federal officers hare gathered in about 100 suspects charged with more serious offenses In and around Portland since war was declared, April 6. . Twenty have been arrested by depu ties from the .marshal's office alone on espionage charges, , under which come radical I. W. W. and pro-Germans. Included In the 20 arrests on this charge 'since , the United States entered the war are six ' Industrials arrested during the raid on their head Quarters here a -few months ago. They are now either being tried or are awaiting trial In Chicago. Alleged slackers taken into custody by federal officers in Portland since, draft registration In June have num bered 70. Some of them were arrested In various parts of the state etther by government agents, deputy marshals or ,r by county and city officers and held on orders from the United States at torneys office.

"New York committee composed of men like ex-President Taft. Charles K. Hughes, Cardinal Gibbons and Rabbi Wise, advise us that more than two mil lion Armenians, Syrians, Greeks and Jews are starving. "America alone can save these great races from extinction. Do we owe them anything apart from the high claims of humanity? " . "A reference to history must convince us that w owe them more than ws owe all other nations combined. They gave us our prophets, our apostles, our Bible, our religion. Beserve Christian Help "In the early Christian centuries, the ancestors of the Armenians. Syrians and Greeks by the unstinted flow of their tears and blood preserved for us these greaf entities when the Roman govern ment was bent on their-elimination. "The great institutions that have en tered into our civilisation are founded on the splendid loyalty and suffering of the forefathers of those who now stretch pleading hands across the seaa making their mute appeal to us who have entered into the splendid inheritance pre pared and preserved by their ancestors.

A. Harms to head a new . division of the police force known as the War emergency squad. The officers on this squad will make It their business to break up mil gambling games, en force the prohlbtlon law, put disorderly bouses out of business, keep close tab on : anyone who might do, anything to cor rupt the morals of the soldiers and to enforce the newly enacted hotel . and lodging house ordinance. Captain Harms has had assigned for the present to as sist hira In this work officers Burkhsrt, Cameron. Hunt. Martin, Sebum, Spaugh and Teeters. Federal Beosest Heeded ' -- V The government haa requested that all , cities near army camps take precau tionary, measures to protect the soldiers from, undesirables. In explaining this new department the chief of police said that the conditions brought about by the '. war have necessitated a great amount of work that requires special attention and It will be the duty of the new squad to handle this situation. . . V Captain Harms has been a member -of the local force for several years snd has risen to the rank of a captain by hard efforts. His record Includes the sending of 20 wMte slavers to Mc NelTa Island. Under the old law the polios had dif ficulty in convicting cheap hotel and lodging house proprietors . of conduct-.' lng disorderly houses and of convict ing persona conducting gambling game. The new city ordinance gives the po lice much more power. The law was ' passed as a war measure, according to ' Chief Johnson. Two Clnbs Are Closed ' ' Captain Harms opened his office on the second floor st polios headquarters Friday morning, being assigned to this new duty the day before. New desks -and counters have been ordered and will soon be Installed. Captain Jenkins' of the traffic squad wltl occupy the office with Captain Harms. . Incidentally, the campaign of the last few weeks has resulted In the closing tra of "a pair of the worst gambling houses In the city," according to Officer Hunt. They are the Culinary club In the Man chester building and the ' Far Western , club at Broadway and Stark streets. The former club recently paid a fine of 8250, and the total fine for gamblers and visitors was 8625. the largest fine that haa bean imposed upon a gambling hcuse in this city for years. -l Cities Are to Cooperate - - In this thorough campaign to rid the city of Portland of vice the Portland chief ia cooperating with Chief McCurdy of Vancouver. Every effort will., be made to enforce the federal statute re garding the presence of disorderly women about army camps. Portland disorderly women who try to work up any scheme to ply their trade with sol diers In either city will find that their efforts will meet with failure.
