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.

It was the occasion of the club's an

James P. McNaughton, who for 28 years
lived in Turkey and who was there dur

will come to Portland this morning. He
speaks at the White Temple at 11

church also. Monday noon he will speak
before the members' council of the

Monday evening. v
Dr. McNaughton was interned lh Tur
key as a prisoner of war, and made his
escape with great difficulty. He is now
secretary of the Armenian and Syrian
relief for the Southern Callor n fa dis
trict. In a statement telegraphed to. J.
J. Handsaker, Oregon campaign man
ager, Saturday, he said :
Wouldn't Become Moslems
"Massacre, torture and deportation re
sulted In the destruction of at least one
million Armenians.
"All might have been saved if willing
to become Moslems. There is no more
inspiring page In Christian history than
the perfect loyalty of the Armenians to
their faith.
"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.
"No true American can shut his ears
to their cry."

municipal court la the trying of offend
ers of the' traffic laws

rected sgalnst those who conduct gam- .
bllng games and sell liquor on the side
and also against disorderly bouses. -

division of the police force known as the

cities near army camps take precau

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
