TWO MORE BRIEFS
FILED IN SUPPORT
OF OLCOTT'S SUIT
Carey & Kerr and Wood, Mon
tague & Matthiessen Say Old
; Decision Should Be Upheld.
CASE
IS HELD IMPORTANT
Decision Essential Before Next
i Primary Election and for
; Road Bond Issues, Contention.
J- Salem, Apr(l 21. Two briefs were filed
with the supreme court today In the Ol
. colt vs. Hof f mandamus proceedings.
One was byCarey & Kerr and the other
ay. Wood, Montague A Matthiessen, two
prominent law firms of Portland.
- Both support the view taken: by At
torney General Brown that Ben W. Ol-
cott is governor in fact,- Independent of
whether he remains secretary of state.
And that the supreme court's Interpreta
tion of the state - constitution, as laid
. down in the case of Chadwick vs. Kar
hart, more than SO years ago, should b
adhered t now,
t Attorney General Brown sometime this
week will file his brief in reply 'to those
. who have taken the view that the Chad
wick vs. Earhart decision should be up
set. 7 With' these briefs still coming;' in, no
decision in the case is now expected until
after the Pendleton session of the su
preme court, which opens next week.
WHOLE PEOPLE INTEKESTKD
5v In their brief, Carey & Kerr bring
out the urgent need of a decision in the
case from, a practical, business stand
point relative to the issuance of mil
lions of dollars' worth of state highway
bonds, j : ' '"'
;--"The case. Indeed, concerns the indi
vidual parties in. small degree compared
'with -the vital Interest" to the people
generally," ssys the brief. "For exam
ple, state highway bonds, to be Issued
under chapter 421 of the laws of 1917,
are about to be sold by the state high
way commission, and . by the statute
: should be signed by the governor,, the
secretary of state and the- state treas
urer, and, as is customary, fac simile
Jf the signatures of the officers should
. be engraved upon the coupons when
prepared for inspection and sale. It is
; a question whether Mr, Olcott should
; sign as governor, as secretary of state,
or as both governor and secretary of
. state. , ,
BECISITE IS IMPERATIVE
.? 'The various boards in which the three
officers act under ,expresa provisions of
the law will be constantly faced with
difficulties by reason, of the fact that
the offices of governor and of secretary
of state are held by the same person,
either as though Mr. Olcott Is holding as
the incumbent of two separate offices, or
as though he held a single office of sec
retary of state and acting governor.
f !The-question will arise, anyway,, for
decision next spring, when it will berths
- duty of the secretary of state to give
notice for th primary election, and, un
less already decided by the court in this
case. It will have to be presented by him
in another case, so that he may be ad
vised whether there will be a vacancy In
the, office of governor, tdtbe filled by an
election for the unexpired term."
The brief then discusses, the question
as to whether the court may decide-the
Issues involved through mandamus pro-
, ceedings, and contends It can. Many de
cisions of the United . States , supreme
court and of other state courts are cited
in suppport of this view. , .... '
IEVEB8AL'11E1D IX ADVISABLE
; "Whatever view individuals may take
of the correctness of the conclusion In
the Chadwlck-Karhart case, or the rea
soning upon which that decision Is based.
lt,should be deemed, to have-settled final
ly the questions covered by the opinion,"'
says the brief. .VA. decision lot the. .su
preme court in such a case Is deemed to
have been arrived at after full and, ma
ture consideration, and it becomes a part
of the law of . the state upon whtclr cit
izens and officers rest their conduct, and
upon which the attorney general may
base an opinion for the guidance of those
who administer the publio oflcea,
"Such a decision, is a precedent, and
when it construes a provision of the con
stitution, it -should never ,ie disturbed
after the lapse of years by judges,, how-,
ever eminent and learned, though per
chance ;they might feel Inclined to take
a different view If the decision had not

NURSES
FROM VAR ZONE SLIP
QUIETLY INTO TOWN
: , - - i
Bands and Reception Committees
- Absent; Friends and Rela
tives Extend Greetings.
Without a word of official warning, 29
overseas nurses,-members of the famous
Base Hospital unit No.- 47, slipped into
Portland Sunday night on the 7 o'clock
Northern Pacific train from - the East.
There was a decided dearth of bands, of
ficial reception committees, parades or
honors for the women who spent prac
tically a year overseas, who nursed the
wounded, and stood the terrors of night
raids by Hun airmen.
The women are still In the service, but
not bound by as rigid rules as are at
ached to enlisted men. They left France
about three weeks ago, spent nine days
at sea, arrived in New York a week ago
Friday, and were started home five days
ago. Technically they are In the ser
vice, and will be army nurses for the
next month, though they are at liberty
to follow up their own vocations.
BELATITES, FBISNDS WELCOME
A large number of friends and rela
tives of the girls, and large part of the
working staff of nursea from the St. Vin
cents and Good Samaritan hospital were
on hand when the train pulled In.
There was no patting on the back, and
"glad to see you, old man." such as
when contingents- the members of the
sterner sex arrive. It was kissing, hug
ging and pjain, old fashioned feminine
osculatory embraces. Everybody kissed
everybody else, everybody laughed and
giggled and everybody was happy.
"Just lead me to an ice cream soaa.
said Miss Donalda McDonald, a young
woman with two pretty gold stripes dec
orating her blue serge uniform. "I went
a year without a sundae, or a frappe.
or any civilized drink.
I would willingly go back." said
Miss N. Jensen, "Just for the pleasure
of getting back home. Portland looks
good to me. I haven't seen anything in
France that compares with it." j
TWO ASTOBIATCS IX UJTIT
All of the contigent were graduate
nurses, and were principally irom ot.
Vincents and the Good . Samaritan hos
pitals. Two out of town girls. Hose
Boyle and Dell .'Marks or St. Marys
hospital, Astoria, were on the train. The
majority of. the women will go back to
nursing. Some smiled coyly when asked
about their future employment. Mushed,
and admitted that they did not know
exactly.
The absence of the official reception
committee, or any formal entertainment
for the women, was due to the fact that
no official word was received in Port
land of their coming. The majority of
the girls had Bent word to their friends
and relatives of their expected arrival.
The following girls were members of
the party : Elsie Hollenbeck, Esther
Eaton, Anne Stewart, Ann Dempsey,
Julie McFadden, Emma Tweed, Roe la
Williams, Helen Krebbs, Letha Hum
phrey, Mrs. Breulard, Ann Snyder, Don

supposed to. It was forbidden for civil
ians to climb up the big steel fighting
tower. At one time during the after
noon one of the guards happened to be
looking the wrong direction and when
he came to there was a stream of civil
ians climbing up the ladder and a small
party in the fighting top.
The Oregon came up to the Portland
harbor In the morning, meeting the
steamer Lurline and the mosquito fleet
near the St. Johns municipal dock No. 1.
On the Lurline were more than 100 per
sons who were going aboard to greet the
crew and formally welcome them- to the
city.
H ELCOME IS WABM
With the Lurline running alongside
and the small launches dashing about
and whistles from mills blowing a greet
ing, the old sea rover was welcomed
home as she moved majestically up the
river.
Finally coming to anchor 'there was
a short bustle aboard her. Barges came
alongside, the anchor was dropped, the
Union Jack and the flag run up the
staffs and boats were lowered. By the
time the Lurline had come up and stairs
let down to her deck, everything was
ready for the visitors, j
"With Captain Tarrantm the right the
officers lined up in order of rank aftd
received the Portland reception commit
tee headed by Senator B. F. Mulkey.
Many discharged army and marine of
ficers were in .the welcoming party..
The Oregon; in gala "array, - with
flags and pennants flying, arrivedln. the
lower harbor Saturday night, and. lay at
anchor near Linnton unt" Sunday 'morn
ing. The steamer Lurline, with the offi
cial reception committee, headed by Fred
W. Mulkey, started down stream at
9 o'clock, met the Oregon, turned about
and escorted her to her moorings. A
convoy of smaller boats, led by George
W. Kendall of the Oregon MOtorboat
club, followed in the wake of the fight
er. The small craft were also gaily be
decked in pennants and flags, the whole
convoy forming an impressive sight.
As soon as the giant anchor of the
fighter dropped, the visitors went aboard
the battleship and the formal reception
took place. Mr. Mulkey, assisted by
Lieutenant H. E. .Potter of the local
naval recruiting office, presented the
committee to Captain Tarrant.
OFFICER3 ARE ENTERTAINED
Reception of the officers commenced
Sunday afternoon. Those whose duties
allowed them liberty, were taken for a
ride along the Columbia River highway .
This morning the remainder of the com
missioned personnel were taken fCr a
trip, along the highway. At 11 o'clock
300 of the men. led by their officers
and band paraded through the down
town streets to Victory square, where
the men took part in the noon program
of the Liberty loan drive.
This afternoon 300 of the enlisted men
will be taken for a ride along the Co
lumbia River highway. Automobiles
have been donated, and the trip will be
under the charge of Charles W. English,
secretary of the Ad club.
At 7. o'clock a formal dinner will be
given to the officers by the Victory loan
forces at the Benson hotel. A feature of
the, dinner will be the presence of Billy
Sunday, the famous evangelist.
DANCE FOR UNLISTED IEN .

not to be overlooked, and a danco . has
been arranged at the Multnomah for
this evening, at which the "gobs" will

mittee in charge of the affair.'
It was originally planned by the loan
forces to admit aboard the fighter only
those citizens who had subscribed to the
loan. This plan was changed and all
ere welcome aboard the battleship, tioan
meetings however, will be conducted on
her decks, and attempts made ' to sell
bonds to those who come aboard the
battleship.
The Oregon is scheduled to leave, for
San Francisco at daylight Tuesday
morning, but her presence in the harbor
has proved to be such a stimulus to the
loan drive that telecrams have, been
sent to the secretary!- of the navy re
questing that she be allowed to remain
in Portland one day longer.

Marked Sentiment Found in East
for Ex-President Taft; McAdqo
Has Developed Able Following.
That hlatory-will record Wood row Wil
son as the greatest of all Americans, and
should he become . a candidate for re
election to the presidency, would ride
Into office on an overwhelming wave of
public favor, is the declaration of David
Lawrence, representative of a newspaper
syndicate headed by the New Tork Eve
ning Post. Mr. Lawrence was a visitor
in Portland Sunday on the last lap of a
tour of the country to investigate polit
ical and industrial conditions as after-the-war
problems.
Mr. Lawrence was a special correspon
dent for this syndicate at the peace con
ference and accompanied President Wil
son on his trip to Rome. He is a stu
dent of politics and industrial and eco
nomic situations. '.-''.
WILSON INFLUENCE PREEMINENT
Mr. Lawrence expressed to Portland
friends, who aided him In his local in
vestigation, some sweeping views of
world affairs.
One of these statements was that Pres
ident Wilson's present influence is co
Immense that only blind partisanship
now refuses to admit and accept it.
That the United States will have no
military man for its next president was
another of his quoted statements. 'The
party that puts a war hero forward is
prefacing its own doom," was the way
he put It.
Mr. Lawrence had audiences with a
number of prominent men, and was the
special guest of Simeon Winch, who
was associated with him in student
days at Princeton, when Woodrow Wil
son was president of that institution.
Five weeks ago Mr. Lawrence left the
Paris peace conference. The word he
brought from "that center of activity
was encouraging and highly interesting.
He" praised the work of Great Britain
and stressed the importance . of Brltiah
cooperation with the United States.
Bringing his survey of the labor and
industrial affairs of the nation to rest
in Portland, the visitor predicted that
the future of the shipbuilding industry
depends almost entirely upon the indus
try of the community and Its builders
In putting the facts of their case before
the proper authorities' for judgment.
PORTLAND MUST SPEAK UP
Mr. Lawrence declared that "if Port
land's talk is loud enough and effective,
congress will see to the future of ship
building here. The nation Is fostering
a great desire to see the American mer
chant marine built up and maintained.
Portland may as well build and continue
building merchant ships as any other
center, but Portland must indelibly Im
press her accomplishments and her pos
sibilities upon congress and others.
The labor situation in the far west Is
odd in many ways, the visitor indicated.
The middle west is crying aloud for ex
perienced men and especially those who
have been trained In the mechanics of
shipbuilding will find plentiful fields in
that section.
Labor and capital are on a much
more settled basis in the middle west
than in some sections of the far west,
and this is helping rush things forward
farther east, Mr. Lawrence told friends.
After spending much time at the peace
conference and after a political study
from the Atlantic to the Pacific since
his return, Mr. Lawrence was prepared
here to dispose of some well founded
opinions regarding the political future
of the nation. He is an independent
thinker, giving the palm of credit where,
in his opinion, it is due. Thus he has
found in President Wilson America's
greatest citizen, fe past or present, and
leaders of a nation in some of the pseal-
dent's political opposites
HAKES STCDT OF CANDIDATES
His statements as to the presidential
candidates for the coming election,
based upon the study he has been, mak
ing as he came west., make an inter
esting resume of possibility. Presiden
tial possibilities, however, eliminate
military men and give considerable
power to the votes of those who served
during the war under American arms.
Major General Leonard Wood, per
haps held as the logical successor to
Colonel Roosevelt, inasmuch as he was
a portege of Roosevelt,- and in many
ways like the late president, is most
favored among Republican candidates,
Mr. Lawrence believes, but the possibil
lty ,of his election or the election of
General Pershing ' is remote. General
woods aggressiveness, his sympathy
with the Roosevelt philosophy and the
friendships he made In the army are
his strength. No other Republican boom
is so far advanced as that behind Gen
eral Wood, if Mr. Lawrence's findings
are right.
America Is not, to elect Wood or any
other; uniformed man for president aad
the power In. the vote of men in the
service during the war will be solidly
against a military- chief executive, al
though it may be widely divided upon
other issues. , ; -
There is a growing sentiment for
ex-President Taft in the Kast, because
of his sterling qualities, his official rec
ord, his whole-souled "Americanism i and
hispolitical : neutrality in- international
affairs.
Democratic sentiment is for William
G. McAdoo more strongly than for any
otner possibility Just at present, and
Secretary of War Baker has been elim
inated. In addition to these two. At
torney General Mitchell Palmer Is men
tioned as a possibility by Mr. Lawrence.
McAdoo or Palmer would easily defeat
any Republican of war fame.
The presidency will go to a man who
combines business and executive ability
with sound economic judgment and
wider view of , national affairs . than
would seem possible -to find In a man
trained so exclusively in- one line of
endeavor as an army man . is. Judging
from the trend of sentiment.
Mr. Lawrence left - these inferences :
Theodora, Roosevelt Jr. : Is expected, to
probably : put what support is natur
ally his behind General Wood, but even
this probably would not make Wood the
Republican nominee. There is one thing
certain, it seems: The man who- goes

COL. C. S. CHAPMAN RETURNS
Year and Half Spent Overseas
in Service With Tenth Forestry
Engineers; Many Still Abroad.
Every bit of lumber, even to the shav
ings and sawdust, was utilised under
the French methods of operation which
were carried out by American forestry
regiments In France during the war, ac
cording to Lieutenant Colonel C S.
Chapman, who has just returned to
Portland after a year and one half over
seas service with the 10th forestry engi
neers. f
At the time the armistice was signed
the American forestry troops were cut
ting approximately 40.000,000 feet a
month, and operating 85 sawmills, ac
cording to Colonel Chapman, and the
plans, were to increase this output ma
terially since the amount produced was
not sufficient to meet the demands of
the armies. ' .
OPERATIJfO EIGHT MILLS
At the present time the troops are
operating eight mills in the pineries
south of Bordeaux, engaged in cutting
railroad ties for the French from tim
ber that was killed by forest fires dur
ing the past summer. The completion
of this work win finish the forestry op
erations of the American expeditionary
forces in France. About 13 forestry bat
talions are : still overseas, according to
Colonel Chapman. :
Colonel Chapman was in charge of the
district in ; the Jura mountains when
he first went to France in the fall of
1917. Here he operated severf sawmills.
The timber that supplied these mills
was for the most part government owned
timber from some of the best fir and
spruce forests in France, located along
the Swiss border. All the cutting was
done under French regulations, trees
were marked by the French forest offi
cials and the American operations were
carried out to the entire satisfaction of
the French.
Later Colonel Chapman served with
the first army, advising them in regard
to the kind and amount of material
they needed in connection with their
operations prior to the St. Mihlel drive
and arranged for Installing a number of
sawmills as close to the front as pos
sible in order to avoid transportation
