GET JOB, OR GO TO ROCKPILE., POLICE HI lADMIMQTn'VtnQ ruiMiiiuiu iluu There is a method of communica tion among the followers of the lower trail that Is inconceivably SWift. : - " ' " . And in a few days that word will be carried out of Portland nd perhaps some will rub their china reflectively as they .hesitate and finally turn Into a path thai leads away Irom the Rose City. At any rate the police hope that it will. For Portland Is already over sup plied with a class that does no work, that does not want to work and appar ently baa nothing to work for. Tet these men roust live and have no visible means of earning what common Justice calls a legitimate living. THET LIKE THE CLIMATE Vags, the police call, them, and the .police are making a concentrated drive to rid Portland of what Is believed to be the scum of the populace of cltles.wbere the climate Is less balmy. Since Saturday evening approximately 100 men have been booked on the police docket for vagrancy. Out of the 100 men Ka1 tim - Vi a 4 rt mrWiPtV flP valuables of any kind in their, posses-4 slon ; many - of them had only a rew dollars, and 'the richest of the lot was worth $7. - . The cells in ttio city jail are crowded. , The 25 cent vag rubs elbows with his richer brother of the 17. GATHER AT ROCKPILE The police hope to hear of them rub bing elbows as they swing their 'picks In the battle at Kelly Butte, which has stood many a wicked swing of the pick. Workmen at this notorious quarry re ceive full benefit of the Oregon mist, salubrious to all but the rheumatic. Raincoats are not provided, but there are plenty 'of picks, so no one need stay Indoors.- - It is the whisper of the drive the nights In the gray cells and the hard work In the remorseless rain for those of evil Intent that the police hope will be carried along the trail of lower levels outside the gates of Portland. The drive on the vags, many of whom : are drunk from moonshine purchased with their last money, was -resultant of an official order from Chief of Police Jenkins to clean up. the city.

BOMB HURLED IKTO LORRT The outbreak which, led to the con flagration occurred at 9 o'clock Satur day night when someone hurled a bomb Into a lorry containing between 10 and 15 Black and Tans and "specials." The lorry was wrecked and all the occupants but the driver wounded. An hous-after-wards, while people were hurryingX to . their homes in obedience with the cur few regulations, a large force of Black ana Mans, soldiers ana "specials ap peared on the .streets and began holding up belated, pedestrians. Fighting broke out add many persons were taken to hospitals.. , At the. height of the disorders the electric lights went out and the city was plunged In - darknesa Suddenly there was a muffled explosion and then flames shot upward from a building in the heart " of the city. The flames quickly spread and soon the whole sky was alight from spreading fires. MAIfT ARRESTS ARE MADE Early Sunday the Black and Tans be- gan making many arrests. Some of the clvjllana arrested were accused of set ting street cars on fire. -Street car traf fio and telephone service were suspended "and by the afternoon the heart of Cork resembled . Verdun after the German bombardments. Black and Tans, soldiers and spe cials" have raided the-residential dis tricts continuously since early Sunday morning searching for arms. ' This was the first appearance In Cork of the "specials." They are Unionists and were recruited and trained at Bel fast and Tyrone. It s feared their pres ence will add fuel to the flames of Irish hatred throughout South Ireland. F. C, Chaves is wanted here on a charge of having kidnaped hla 3-year old son, Stevie Chaves, on the after noon of December 8. The little boy lived with his pother, Mrs. Elsie Vlnt er, and his : aunt.

L ; ; , . . , The writers charged they were pre- twucu i rum , witnessing many disturb ances and they were hampered in many ways.-' They - particularly resented the alleged intimidation of the armed forces. BIUTISII BARRACKS ATTACKED; A VIOLENT BATTLE FOLLOWS London. Dec. IS.-I.- N. S.) Sinn Felners attacked British military bar racks at Camlough today and a violent battle followed, according to a Federal News dispatch from Belfast. An unconfirmed report said that many had been killed. Wires leading to the. scene were cut. and it - was Impossible to secure early details. Reinforcements that were rushed from Newry were ambushed at a railway via duct. The troops returned the fire of the attackers.

A pitched battle between Sinn Felners and Scot tish Highlanders occurred near Cloyne after the Irish had ambushed the troops, the Irish office announced today. One Sinn Felner was killed and several seriously-wounded. A number of prisoners were taken by the Highlanders. One soldier was wounded.. BRITISH TROOPS SEIZE ALL ;4 .MOTOR CARS IN QUEENSTOWN Dublin. Dec. (I. N. S. British troops have seized all the motor cars in Queenstown with a view to making mar tial law more effective in that part of County Cork, according to a dispatch irom wueenstown today. Hawaii, the cross roads of the Pa cific,' " he declares, "is of such strate gic Importance and. offersvsucb possi bilities of development that naval au thorities agree - that -there should be created there a fleet operating base ex tensive enough to accommodate the en tire fleet with all auxiliaries. "Hawaii .Is the key to the Pacific ; its strategic location is well recognised, its possibilities have been carefully studied and set forth by naval experts; and its development on a broad "scale as a fleet operating bass cannot be too strongly urged." The secretary adds that the project for developing the island, of Guam as a naval base is progressing, and that the naval station at Cavite, in the Philip pines, "is to be developed moderately." Of the service as a whole, Daniels says that the task of building up the navy "has gone forward until we possess a navy worthy of America." Taking his cue from President Wilson's famous speech at St Louis in 1916, in which the president said the American navy "ought to be incomparably the most adequate navy in the-world," Daniels confidently asserts that its attainment Is now in sight. "For," he adds." "the navy today Is. incomparably stronger than ever be fore, and its power will be greatly in creased by the battleships and cruisers now building." JAPAN BUILDS WARSHIPS He reports . that construction of the 16 capital ships authorized In the three year building program of 1916 la now going forward after Its suspension dur ing the war to allow of development of antisubmarine craft. "These battleships of 43,200 tons and battle cruisers of 43,500 tons will," he declares, "be larger and more powerful than any heretofore built, .and without an equal in speed and gun power. De velopments of the last year have con firmed the conclusions of the depart ment that battleships were still the back' bone of the fighting fleet, and this Is no time for their abandonment," Is his assertion, which he backs up by quoting prominent British naval authoritiea Japan, according to Daniels, has laid down five capital ships ince the armis tice, and Is understood to contemplate laying down eight others in the near future. This shows conclusively, be deduces, "the Japanese opinion as re gards capital ships. . CASWOT COVST COST On the general subject of defense, Daniels says that If the United States enters the League of Nations, "our pres ent, navy, with the addition of some special types, such as flotilla leaders. airplane carriers, . colliers, and tenders, will be adequate for our defense ' and the prevention of aggressoon." If, how ever, we do not enter "the" league or a league, the secretary has this prophecy: .- "If this country Is to stand alone, out side any effective association of nations, we must be prepared to defend our in terests against any possible opposition or combination. 'This' win mean con tinuance of naval .construction, indefi nitely, costly as this will be. If the United states is not to enter into any agreement with the other pow ers I feel compelled to approve the recommendation of the general board that congress authorise another three year program, to be begun as soon at the capital ships now under construc tion are launched," he goes on to say. If, however, provision is made by our government for an international agree ment for a concert . of , nations, with strength to prevent war, c- It will be neither necessary nor wise to authorise either a .three-year program or a large one-year program. Of naval aviation, the secretary reports that the navy Is working on the design and construction of the first large rigid airship undertaken in this country, and says that deliveries of materials are now being made to the naval aircraft factory at Philadelphia, prior to their assembly in the hangar at Lakehurst, N.

Ono Insane soldier was burned to death, several others are missing and ZOO more had thrilling escapes in a fire which de stroyed four frame buildings in the peycopathlc section at Walter Reed hospital Sunday. While the flames were at their height, 40 patients suffering from shell shock broke away from orderlies and nurses guarding them and fought with Insane strength to get back into a burning v. ard. An absolute tranquillity is an essential treatment in such cases. Re cove:, surgeons stated tonight, will be retarded at least a year. Inflammables carelessly left in. the possession of the demented soldiers, some of vbo'ro threatened to burn the bulldlnsra are mentioned today as the probable cause of the fire, which, how ever, is not definitely determined. he one natient definitely known to h.-o been burned to death was found locked in his room with' the key miss ing. - - KIND BURGLAR CHATS AS HE ROBS VICTIMS ( Confirmed From Pass On) tion of the social volcano on the little Island, when he disappeared with Trina Hannenberg. Cornelius Denser Jr., the eldest son, took his accustomed place at the organ, which he played as usual. The service over, the congregation be gan to rise and gather their wraps in preparation . for leaving. Then John Rose, the presiding elder, tall and gray and grim, mounted the pulpiVand began to read. He read Mr. and-Mrs. Hannen berg out of the church for reasons which, the statement said, were well known to the congregation and need not be gone into. Mrs, Jacob Cooper. Mrs. Hannenberg's married daughter, was put on proba tion. ' Watching the scene, one thought of the "Scarlet Letter" of old, dim churches of an earlier day filled with black bon neted and wide hatted Puritans, of the ducking stool and the stocks, of the persecution of the witches in Salem. The atmosphere, and the types of those days " filled the place. The expulsion irora tne cnurcn was as severe a pen alty, as complete an exile, .as It was for an erring one In a little Puritan village in the early Puritan history of our country. The afternoon service was at I o'clock. Mrs. Hannenberg, did not come. None of the Hannenberg family, was present. The decree of exile had gone into Effect. The Rev.

This wiU be 10,000 pound vessel, the power being j furnished by a combination of nine Lib erty motors in three groups. Daniels comes out flatly against the establishment of a separate air service, such as is proposed in several bills now before Congress, giving these objections ; COTEEXMEICT OWIfEESHIP Each service, army. navy, dob t of fine department has Its own problems to solve. Airplanes suitable for one-are often un adapted to the purposes of the other. No one more strongly favors the development of commercial aviation than i do, or is more alive to its importance. Yet to depend upon private concerns to develop th types of planes and airships adapted to military and- naval purposes would be a fatal mistake. This entirely aside from the importance of keening secret aviation developments and inven tions mat are of military value." Daniels reiterates his often-eznresiwul view that all Wireless apparatus should be government owned and ooerated.. Of the international communications con ference's work during the session it has been holding in Washington, he says he hopes it "will result in, an agreement that will bring about a decided improve ment in communications in general and particularly th use of radio." On the Haitian affair, Daniels main tains hie often reperated assertions that the marines, on the whole, have rendered service for peace and prosperity in the island republic, voices his full confidence in the naval board of inquiry which has recently concluded its sessions in Haiti, points out that quick action was taken in tne celebrated case of Sergeant Broke w, which he describes s a "shock ing and Indefensible occurrence. inH reiterates his determination to see that outer onenoers are punished. : " ; woman looter Killed London, Dec 13. t N.

'Go up to our room ; we've had trouble and the Mrs. is hurt," Tevls Is alleged to have said. In a cell in the police station Sunday night. Tevls, still drunk, was unable to remember - where he haa gone wnen ne left the house after Harless had told htm that his wife was dead. He Jidn't know why he had left, he said. The police were waiting for him when he returned to his room in'th evening. Tevis told the police that he parted with his wife en the friendliest of terms Sunday morning. When he ' returned shortly after noon she told him that she. was dying, he told the police. HARLFJ GIYES VERSION He said that he shook ner, but she went Into the bedroom and laid down. The police place little credit to this story In the face of the testimony of Kennedy and Harless. They, believe it story concocted in the fuddled brain of a man heavily laden with moonshine whiskey. That he probably went .back to his room with that alibi In mind Is their belief. . -v - Harless found Mrs. Tevls gssplng for breath, and her body trembling ' as though" In the throes of agony. lie ad ministered first aid, but saw that ha could do no good and Immediately called the police.- When the police and an emergency hospital doctor arrived the woman was dead. Her body was taken to the pub lic morgue. Harless told Police Inspectors Collins and Horack and Motorcycle Patrolman Stiles that when he told Tevis that his wife was probably dead Tevls grabbed his coat-and hurredly staggered from the . house. Harless called the police, then went te look for Tevis. The man had disappeared. HEARD HER SCREAMS James Kennedy, who lives In the room next to the one occupied by the Tevis family, affirmed the story told by Har less regarding the intoxicated condition of Tevis. ' '- -- , Tevis had been drluking heavily for a couple of weeks. Ken- edy said. Satur day night he had helped him to his room because he was almost helpless, he told the police. Recently Mrs. Tevls h-1 been drinking with her husband, although she had fre quently urged him to quit drinking, Ken nedy said. He had known them for years, since their marriage, and they had frequent and , bitter quarrels, he said. . About 1 o'clock he heard Mrs; Tevis scream ana guessea tnai revls ai beating his wife, but figured It was none of his business if they wanted to battle. He believed that they were probably both u runic. MABRIED TWO TEARS The scream probably was Mrs. Tevls' cry of horror when she read the Insane fury in her husband's eyas and realised his brutal intent, the jmiice believe. Tevls was a railroad switchman until a year ago, when he walked out-with the strikers. He was employed recently at various day labor jobs.-' His wife had been employed as a waitress In local restaurants until two weeks ago, Ken nedy told the police. The couple had been married two years and had lived most of their marriage at the Medford -otel. They hadeived at 344 Second stretV about two months. Tsvis had recently worked for James Carroll, who operates a soft drink establishment at Second and Couch streets. -Chief Deputy Coroner Leo Qoetsch an nounced this morning, that he received a telegram from Mrs, Madge Johns of Butte, Mont., a sister of Mra Tevis, ask ing for full particulars and requesting that the inquest be delayed until she arrives, ' ' v Mrs, Tevls was Miss Nellie Conway, She was married In Vancouver, Wash on December ge, 191. : The inquest probably will be held Tuesday night, ac cording - to an announcement by Dr, Earl Smith.

(WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOVI NAI) The - steamship Interests promise earnest support for the in termountaln country against the Pa clfie coast territory In the inter mountain contention that rates should be graded all the way through from the Eat to h Pacific coast,, and highest of all at the coast. This asBuranc is given in exceptions filed by Frank Lyon, attorney for the Luckenback Steamship company, te the tentative report proposed by Examiner W.. A. Dlsque of the interstate Commerce commission in the Intermediate Rate association case, in which Dlsque recom mended thet the cpmmisslon sustain lower rates to the coast than to Inter mounts In points,. because of water com petition. The commission should in this ease find once and for Sil time," ssys the Lyon brief, "that no shipper Is entitled as arnatter ,of law te a less than rea sonable rate under the act to regulate commerce, unlets that shipper, points Out definitely that its competitor Is at the same time being accorded less than reasonable rates by the railroads. There is no pretense in this proceeding that the Intermountain cities competing with the Paciflo coast In the -jobbng busness are beng accorded less than reasonable rates. 1 Yet the examiner holds that te charge the coast the same just and rea sonable rates as the Intermountain cities will result in depriving the coast of a natural advantage. 'A seaport city has one advantage, and only one,, over interior cities, and that is the opportunity of transportation by water. This advantage is spasmodic In character. It Is neither continuous nor certain. It changes with every tide. "If the object of the act to regulate, commerce-Is to favor the railroads at the expense of the steamships, the rec ommendations of the examiner may pos sibly be justified. If the lew Intends no favoritism, the recommendations should be rejected and the Pacific coast cities compelled to pay the same reasonbble rates as are paid by every other city."
