" Guilty of Acts of Grave
Misconduct, .
A sensation was sprung In na
tional - guard : circles - yesterday
when Brigadier General George A.
White, commander of the Oregon
troops. Issued orders for the dis
charge ef two officers found un
fit for further service. The order
for dismissal was based upon the
approved findings of a federal ef
flcieney . board. - - - ,. .. : .
Captain "Joseph N.Helgerson of
Portland and Captain Thomas E.
Williksen . of Astoria are , tbe two
whose i commissions :, as officers
terminated Thursday . when final
approval was "given "to the action
of the military board which' heard
and passed upon evidence of mis
conduct - and c neglect of duty
charged against the two officers.
Financial Irregularities
Wlllikson h was - charged x with
shortage in his official money ae
. counts. Bis case has been pending
for several months, it was said,
since Inspectors found that sever
al hundred dollars was missing
from the accounts of tbe Astoria
company of which Wlllikson was
captain. - -v. ,-
Checks were produced by in
spectors disclosing that official
cheeks hsd been ': cashed at ' res
taurants, garages and the pro
ceeds apparently used for personal
purposes. " - . . ...
Wlllikson was able to make no
accounting - nor to explain his
shortages. The case was referred
Wednesday to the district attor
ney of Clatsop county for prose
cution and will probably be laid
in detail before tbe Clatsop coun
ty grand Jury. Wlllikson was eon
stable in Astoria at the time of
the alleged irregularities. He was
relieved of his command some
months ago when the . shortage
was uncovered. 4

Healy made the following state
ment in behalf of Hesford's rela
tives as. the probe was adjourned:
Prosecution Rerommended
"We understand that it is act
the province of this body to bring, -any
criminal charges as a reenli'
of this investigation, nor Is It the
province of the attorney general's
office, but we do feel that crimi
nal proceedings should have been
Instituted against K. K. Kyler. "
the guard, prior to this time, aad
should now be' Instituted and we'
feel that officers ot the Instituttea.
should do everything In their
power to bring about the Insti
tution of such proceedings.
''Callousness Unbelievable" '
"We also feel that the instate- ,
tlon at the time of the Jnjurie of
Mr. Hesford. did not do all that
should, have been i done . towards
the prosecution ot the guard. The- .
superintendent In charge not eery
did not, advise the prosecntintr at
torney of the attack on Mr. Hes
ford until after Mr. Hesford was
dead, but. be : actually put taw
guard, who made the attack, back
on duty in the ward in charge ef
the man... 8ueh eonduct showed) a
callousness almost' unbelievable If "
It were not In the record."
Judge Thomas Grady of Yah
head of ' the investigating
commission, replied that
facts not heretofore known,
been brought ' out since the
