Gommander of the Union Mission Army Re-
 fused to Swear.
gIe Met With a Signal Defeat in the Police Court
 Yesterday.
His Connection With Gods Regular Army in Portland Was of
 Shady Nature.

A. W. Moore, the self-styled com mander of the Union Mission Army, with headquarters at IA Hayes street, got a setback in Judge Lows court yesterday morning. As was stated in yesterdays Call, he had Mrs. Sissie Da- wis and her husband, W. J. Davis, ar rested for disturbing the peace.
 Moore had engaged Attorney Gesford to defend him and was evidently pre- pared to make fight. When put on the stand he was ordered to be sworn, but he surprised every enc in court by refusing and stating that he would only affirm.
 Subsequently the Judge had occasion to ask him why he would not be sworn and he said the Bible tells us not to swear" which raised a laugh at his eX- penSe in court. Moore was kept down to the event leading to the complaint, and he was only permitted to tesufy that Davis ordered him out of the house and threw his drum and flag out into the street after him. He admitted that Mrs. Davis was not present at the time and that he swore to the complaint, in Cluding her as one of the defendants so as to get her out of the house to en- able him to obtain possession of the premises.
 In cross examination he was asked if it were not one of the fundamental principles of the organization that no one should take upon himself or her self the title of commander, and in re- ply he said that Mir. and Mrs. Davis appointed him commander. The orig inal rules were submitted to the Judge, and also certified copies written out by Moore, in which it was shown that in the latter Moore had inserted the let ters"Com'' before his name. the original only having the plain signature.
 A Miss Butler, who has a store next door to the headquarters, was called by Moore as a witness for him, but she denied hearing any disturbance and gave MT. and Mrs. Davis an excellent character for peace and quiet.
 The Judge without calling the de- fendants to testify, dismissed the case, and they announced their intention of swearing out warrants for Moore's ar rest on the charge of threats to kill.
 The attorneys for the defendants were prepared with evidence that would have shown Moore in a bad light. They had a copy of ''The Regular" the official organ of Gods Regular Army, published in Portland Or, of Decem- Der IS. 1897. containing an article signed by Colonel A. J. Purdey, commander in-chief of the army. warning the pub lie that Moore was no longer connected with the army and would not be again till he had proved himself worthy by doing some honest manual work. It was also said that he was mixed up in a scandal in Petaluma in November of last year. before he went to Portland.
