THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1924 SLEH AVOIDS i " - Fine court 4-v $ot Required to Plead Per - sonally Misrepresents Facts GREAT FALLS, Mont.. Aug. 29. John L. Slattery, United gtates district attorney, today is sued a statement answering the interview with John M. Kelson of Chicago, national La FolSette and Wheeler campaign manager, con cerning the Wheeler trial set for heating at this place. ,"1 observed a dispatch ot yester day in which Representative John M. Nelson, national manager ot the La Follette-Wheeler cam paign, says that my action in ar raigning Senator Wheeler on Sep tember 1 is a clear indication that the department of justice is to be - used as an adjunct of the republi can, national committee in this campaign and that the republican party now seeks to prevent Sen ator Wheeler from carrying the facts developed in the Daugherty investigation 'to the people of the country, by bringing him to trial in the midst of this campaign.' Presence Not Yet Required . "There is absolutely no founda tion for Mr. Nelson's statement. In; "the first place there can be no aspect of Senator Wheeler's ar raignment which would 'require his personal presence here on the first of September. At the j ar raignment, his counsel may move . to quash the indictment or demur ,td" it, before even entering the con templated plea of no guilty.; Is sues of law raised by a motion to quash or demurrer must first be. disposed of before the case is set down for trial, -."Cases in which defendants have not been arraigned are placed by ttao.'Clerk, of the court upon the On account of Labor Day our store will be closed all day ; Monday. j dMon grocery CO. f 899 North' Commercial calendar without . any directions or instruction of mine. Politics is Denied "Politics has in no way entered into this case from the govern ment's side. Since Senator Wheel er's manager claims that the case is to be brought to trial in the midst of the present campaign for political purposes, I will now state with a view ot making it clear that politics has not-entered into the ca3e at all so far as the gov ernment is concerned, that I am perfectly willing that both the ar raignment and the trial ot Sen ator Wheeler shall go over until the next term of court here, which will not be until after the Nov ember election has passed Into his tory.! That certainly ought to re fute Representative Nelson's state ment that any action of mine in connection with this case has been for political purposes and should preclude any suggestion of inter ference with ) Senator Wheeler's campaign plans." ! Starrett Examiner for j Oregon State Land Board It came to light only yesterday that the state land ; board at a meeting on July 9 appointed J. V. Starrett of Roseburg as an ex aminer of lands on which the board proposes foreclosures be cause of delinquent loans from the school fund. ) I ' Starrett receives $150 a month and expenses, the same salary that was to be paid Dr. A. Slaughter of Salem, who resigned rather than give up his place on the com mittee of seven of the Independent-Progressive party, A success or to Slaughter has not yet been named, Starrett,; according to himself, has been active as an organizer for the Ku'Klux Klan, He claims, however, to be liberal on some of the things in which Klansmen gen erally are radical. Starrett was recommended! to the board by J. H. Booth, Roseburg banker. Starrett's appointment ante dated' that of Slaughter. Short history of man: Tummy ache; heart ache; back ache. LE " .j..

C. Ilawley left last night to visit Coos and Curry counties and in the western pari of Douglas and Lane counties. He expects to be gone about 10 days and to visit all of the waterway improvements in that section in accordance with his usual custom. The port of Port Orford desires to have a breakwater for the pro tection of its wharves and permit of their extension to meet the needs ot the growing commerce at that port. Congress has al ready authorized the construction of two jetties on Coos bay and ap propriations are made yearly out of which the improvement will be made. I :; ) . -.y The port of Bandon desires ex tensions of the present jetties and' the deepening of the channel at the entrance of Coquille river. 3 The port of Umpqua has con structed a dredge and during last summer, and this, has been deep ening and straightening the chan nels in the river between Reeds port and the entrance. They de sire government cooperation, i ' The jetties at the mouth of the Sluslaw river have , produced ' & greater depth of water than watf originally contemplated. The only obstruction to commerce now on the Siuslaw between the railroad bridge and the entrance are three short sandbars, for which Con gressman Hawley has an appropri ation provided In the pending riv er and harbor bill. ; I i All these prpjects are eoopera- tlve, the ports contributing to the construction of the improvements. The improvements on the Coquille Coos bay, Umpqua and' Sluslaw rivers and at Port Orford, wijl improve the market for the tiro- ber : the government has to sejl from the lands formerly included in the Coos bay wagon road grant and the Oregon-California wagon road grant, and increase the stumpage price sufficient to cover the costs of the government of the improvements several times over, It will also have the same result on timber in the forest reserves. Mr. Hawley intends to go over all these projects with care, obtain all possible Information for the purpose of obtaininf the necessary government aid in the construc tion of the improvements. ; I The first grave mistake some great men make is when they have their photographs made. t l ., "r OREGON MANY TMIJQ SB YOUR FAUR Better Amusements and or Shine Best Racing sn speakers CONFERENCE German Methodists Open : Conference With Large Array of Talent Following the devotions which opened the Friday sessions of the German Methodist conference, Rev.
