"I told the adjutant, whose name waa
.Hanson, that someone would be at
- Leavenworth before we got through. I
' ' realised that someone ; would be the
goat. I simply carried out my orders.'
"I believe that it anyone- Ja guilty of
wrongdoing,, then .everybody who had
authority 'In the camps is guilty, too. I
. do not know why X was singled' out to
be prosecuted." ; ,
- Whjlle Smith admitted that living con--dltiona
at Sarin No. z and at "The Baa
tile" were "rotten," he denied most of the
stories widely 'circulated that men had
. , been brutally beaten up and clubbed at
the camps. . ;v
- "Smith's immediate- commanding of -fioer
waa Colonel Urlmstead, he testi-
;- fled. V--,- . -:,
... "How often did- Colonel ' Grimstead
eomedownH Representative Johnson
asked. . - . "
"Sometimes every -day, sometimes two
or three times a week.';
T BE ATMEJTT PERMITTED
JDld Colonel Grimstead or the In
' - upector ever "make any objection to the
food or to the waj the men were

"Stfo. eh-: There "was some complaint
about the food. I constantly complained
about it. -1 was not getting: the full
' nrray rsuon. '
"The sleeping quarters were crowded,
weren't., they?"
"Yes, some of the men slept on straw
. and there was mud all around them."
Smith said the prisoners received by
him came through the military police of
' the Paris district. They were mostly
' A.. W, O. I cases.
"With respect , to your orders, what
'else was said to you about the treat
.Tnentot ipriaoners?'S : ,- - -
. My colonel ; told me that his com
manding general told him that the
most ruthless discipline must be main
tained." , ;
EEP MEK XS CAMP J
.. jWho was this commanding general?"
"The man Colonel Grimstead referred
to was General Strong"
."When you were told that you obn
- strued it to mean that the men were to
be so treated that they never would go
to Paris again V
"In a certain respect, yea"
mltted suicide at Smith's camp, was
.gone ." into and the lieutenant said he
ordered the man confined only after he
. had attempted to assault .1 him.
- , "He. ran at me.f said the officer. "I
don't know. whether I hit him or not. I
; ordered him to dose confinement. He
' committed suicide about an hour later
with a safety rasor blade slipped him
by another prisoner"
Smith made a voluntary statement to
the committee.
"I ask this committee to investigate
every army prison camp In France," he
said, "and I believe If this Is done farm
Ko. 2 will be found to have been, a
: pleasure resort lu comparison with most
of them" - -
ASSAtttr ATTEMPTED
i -St. Sulphice, near Bordeaux, Glevres
and PHgnancourt were among the places
mentioned by the lieutenant.
Smith told the committee how he,
lUmself. had suffered at St. Sulphice.
"I arrived at the prison on June 24 or
' 25. Word went all over the prison that
, HardboHed" Smith waa there. In the
- shower room a mob of 20 prisoners
: . cursed and - attempted to assault me.
Prisoners were allowed to gather out

. sentry and shout the vilest insults and

(Western) division; Major J- Noble, per
sonnel adjutant, and Colonel C. E. Grim

them. . ..
COMMITTEE TO GO TO FBiSCE
Kepresentatlve Royal Johnson of South
Dakota, chairman of the committee an
nounced that the committee will go to
France on August T to Investigate the
conditions at the prison camp.
' Smith declared that conditions at
"the Bastile" and St. Annes" near Paris
were as bad as at farm No. 2.
1 "Who was la charge of the district of
Parts?" aaked Congressman "Bland.
"Brigadier General W. W- Harts."
"Old the conditions you speak of
continue after the armistice?"
"Yea" . - f '
General Harts waa formerly military

"Who was responsible 'for these con
ditions?" .
"The commanding general of the dis
trict of Paris" f
COtTBT MARTIAL 17BGED ;
Colonel T. Q.- Donaldson, who in
spected the prison camp which Smith
commanded was also a witness. He said
he had recommended Colonel Grimstead
for a courtmartlal after his Inspection.
No attention was paid to this recom
mendation, be said, and' Colonel Grim
stead ' was honorably discharged after
the prison camp had been discontinued.
Sergeant Clarence 15. - Ball, one of
Smith's subordinates at the farm, told
the committee that .he had beaten up
so many prisoners that he had lost count
of them. . f
"I simply carried out orders," he said.
"If I hadn't I would haVe been ourt
marUaled. : We beat .'em up until tbey
bled.. If the inspectors didn't see what
was going on they must have had bad
eyesight." v. ;
CRUELTIES 2fOT TICTtOJT
"I was absolutely astounded", said
Colonel Donaldson in his testimony, "to
find such conditions . existing In the
American army"
"Then," said Chairman Johnson, "there
is no doubt in your mind that cruelties
existed?" i
"None," replied Colonel Donaldson.

Leniency Granted Mrs. Dunn Will
Be Urged as Legal Precedent
in Case of - Harry New. t
- Los Angeles, July 2t. The case
of Gladys C. Dunn, who was sen
tenced to a year in the house . of
correction : at Plttsf ield, Mass., for
the murder of . her 3-year-old son.
will be used as a legal precedent, by
attorneys defending Harry" g. New,
Jr., confessed slayer, of his sweet
heart, Freda Lesser, it was learned
today. . ' ' , ' r
As a result of the decision in the case
of Mrs. Dunn, New'i attorney will de
mand that a manslaughter 'verdict be
included with the blank verdict papers
given the Jury In the New case. : -
Mrs Dunn was granted leniency be
cause It was held she was temporarily
insane when she shot and killed her son.
She was charged with manslaughter, it
being agreed that she fired "In the heat
of passion" and - was therefore , In an
irresponsible ; condition, j
New Is charged in the grand jury in
dictment with murder in the first degree
In that the slaying of - Freda Lesser
was deliberate, intentional and premedi
tated. ' ; . . -,
While Lit Is Impossible to have- the
charge against New. changed to that of
manslaughter, the : defense attorneys
hope, by; means of the precedent estab
lished by the Dunn case, to be able to
allow the jury in the New -case an alter
native of finding the crime to have been
manslaughter. A manslaughter convic
tion means that the prisoner may be
sentenced to from one to 10 years in
prison only. . . 1

IF REDS CONTROL
CEiWl COUNCIL
Conservatives r May Reorganize
Along Sane Basis if - Destruc

SETBACK FEAR OF UNIONISTS
Council Composed; of Few. Agi
tators Wouldn't Receive Long
the Support of Federation.
Massing their forces for a fray of
ballots that Is promised as a spec
tacular feature of the regular meet
ing and election of the Central Labor
council on Thursday night, "radical
and "conservative" elements in or
ganized labor In Portland are gar
nishing the hours before the meet
ing with hopeful predictions of its
outcome. The ' ' prediction of the
conservatives is fpr the unqualified
defeat of any attempt of the radicals
to gain control of labor administra
tion in the city. ;:
- Arming for the clash, labor unions in
several Instances have increased' their
membership considerably, and the fact
has been greeted with the , announce
ment that delegations from such unions
will be required to pay fees on, a
per capita basis Jn the proportion of
one delegate to each 100 members, r
Just, how far back this per capita
tax will be required is uncertain, but
the ' tax of three cents a month per
member will make some difference, it
is said. One of the weaknesses of
the Central Labor Council. Its of
ficers say. has been its Inability to
compel a union to pay a per capita
tax on Its full membership. Strong
unions have been In the habit of send
ing one or two delegates 'and paying
on two or three -hundred , members a
per capita- tax of three cents a month.
Should the "Reds" wis out this time It
is considered ' certain by officers that a
number of the older and saner unions
would withdraw entirely; perhaps to form
new delegate body. --
A Central Labor council -composed, of
a few of4the "Reds" would not long re
ceive the support of the American Fed
eration of Labor, and In time a new del
egate body would be formed, the predic
tion ia The impracticable aims and. ir
rational, leaders of the "Reds" would
soon rack it to pieces, in the opinion of
the conservatives. The conservatives re
gard any such victory as the radicals are
striving for as a setback to organised
labor, but not a breaking up of the labor
movement. , ,
, The " conservative ; elements have
aroused the unions that have made
agreements with employers to be fully
represented, and it Is thought that, a de
cisive majority can be secured out of a
total vote of 250 to 300 delegates. -
A hint of th attitude 'of the alleged
"Red" wing of the council is contained
in a resolution which will be presented
at the election meeting .Thursday night
by R. V. Sefton. delegate from the ship
wrights' local to the metal trades and
the Central Labor councils, i The resolu
tion, said to have been indorsed by the
shipwrights' and carpenters locals and
by the 17 locals of the Metal Trades coun
cil, will ask that the council officially
condemn C. .M. Rynerson, editor of the
Labor Press, for printing In that organ
an editorial which is held to have pre
cipitated most of the fuss between the
two faction a. The editorial. Sefton will
declare, makes assertions which Ryner
son "or no other man can prove," for the
purpose of influencing the council as a
body for purely personal reasons.

Having Obtained a 'Group Sense'
Women Wilt Obtain Big Re
sults, Says Miss Wold.
Women, having achieved equal suf
frage, must now remain banded per
fect and extend their Industrial organi
sations to gain an equal footing with
men. believes Miss Emma Wold, former
Portland school teacher, who Is visiting
here.
"Women are coming to have a group
sense," - explained Miss Wold. "They
have seen the results to be obtained by
working together,, and they . will now
go' on ' working together to place them
selves on an equal - footing ' with the
men industrially.-' They' worked to se
cure suffrage, and now men expect
them to work to obtain Industrial
equality. : - :; - '-' .
'The labor union Is not the ultimate
In industrial life.- It Is a stepping
stone, however, and I believe we should
advance one step at a time. Organisa
tion is at 'present the -only thing that
seems able to produoe results. - Through
It women are coming more and .more to
be paid the same wsges as : men for
doing the same'work. They have gained
this equality in many places already and
it Is only a mater of time till it will be
universal.' x , ; ;
- "It is interesting to see how ' well
women are standing together now. I
was In some of the California cities, and
It. was wonderful to see the cooperation.
College women "and women in various
lines- of work took it on themselves to
see that the girl strikers were fed. They
made . sandwiches and served hot cof
fee and did numerous little things of
that sort that showed remarkable prog
ress tn the development - of a - group
spirit.,;; r-i-:-- .-.:---i :.?,,.',
"One thing that seems to me particu
larly necessary with the entrance of
women and chances for -advancement.
Women must learn trades and, this be
ing comparatively new, mu6t have
some guidance as to what may be con
sidered a favorable opening for a life
trade. t i , - .
"There is need of an industrial g.r

think such a work haa been, done yet
and It would be a great help here."..
