MACHINISTS HAVE
NO TROUBLE WITH
NORTHERN PACIFIC

To refute statements that have
been published that trouble existed
between the International Associa-
ton of Machinists and the Northern
Pacific railroad a prominent member
of the union stated today:
I'VE never had a nine hour sched-
ule or agreement with the company.
There is no road in the United States
or Canada that has a nine hour
schedule
"The company has granted an in
crease of X per cent to all machin-
lists west of Spokane. This advance
is not satisfactory to the entire sys-
TEN.
I'VE did ask for a nine hour day,
but on account of the volume of bust
ness the company could not grant
that request. But we hope in the
near future to see every road in the
country have a nine hour schedule.
I'VE never heard of any trouble un-
til we read about it in the evening
paper. Our relations with the Of
ficials at the present time are very
harmonious. There is no secret about
our schedule, as the company has it
posted up in a conspicuous place in
every shop and roundhouse on the
system.
Had the paper in question wanted
the truth, we would have been glad
at any time to have Informed them"

Staff Correspondence to The Pres

Staff Correspondence to The Press.
WASHINGTON, June IL. The
chief object of the naval maneuvers
in the vicinity of Washington this
week is to test the sufficiency of the
on the Potomac, and at Baltimore,
Md. ard Fort Monroe.
But these tests are preliminary to
an important step soon to be taken
by the secretary of war. namely the
organization of an entirely new corps
for purposes Of coast defense
The coast defenses are now in
charge of the artillery branch of the
army. 1t is this branch which has
the keeping and working of the big
siege guns and the fortiflcations on
shore
But of late years a new science Of
coast defense has grown up, namely
the science of the torpedo and the
mine. The present coast defenses
have no torpedoes, as all efforts to
install such stations have been
strenuously and effectively opposed
by the navy. But a very complete
system of submarine mines has been
worked out, and it has been found
that it Will require a larger staff to
maintain and operate it than the
artillery branch can spare.
Moreover, the equipment in many
cases is very elaborate, and requires
skillful handling and some scientific
education in those who operate 1t.
marines to a larger extent than has
been employed in the past, as an
auxiliary to the coast defense, and II
is planned 10 have these in charge Of
this corps rather than Of the navy.
The maneuvers will test the de-
fenses of Chesapeake bay. The hos
tile feet has open to II three possi-
BILE points of attack; it may try to re-
duce Fort Monroe, which is at the
mouth of the Chesapeake bay, and
which is there chiefly to protect the
shipyards and coaling station al New
port News, or the feet may steam
past Fort Monroe and run up toward
Washington and Baltimore.
Arrived at the mouth of the Po-
tomac river, the fleet may either con-
tinue due north past Annapolis and
on to Baltimore, or it may sail up
the Potomac to Fort Washington
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-06-12

The river is too shallow to permit
any very large ships to come up even
as far as this, without danger of
running aground, but the smaller
craft can penetrate thus far, which
I is very close to Mt. Vernon, and will
then meet up with the mines and the
guns of Fort Washington on the east
shore of the river, and Fort Hunt on
the west shore.
A number of foreign attaches have
! asked permission to witness the ma
neuvers. but all have been refused
If there are weak places in the de-
lenses 1t is thought best by the au-
thOrities not to thus disclose them
to all the world. 1t is doubtful, in
fact, if the public ever will know just
how the contest comes out. A board
of umpires from the war college will
pass on the score, and make recon-
mendations based on the results.
For purposes of the present cam
paign the mines will be charged with
electricity, but will contain no dyna
mite. The wires will be so arranged
that contact with the hostile" war
ship will close the electric circuit,
and drop an indicator in the under
ground room on shore, from which
the mines are operated. Other mines
will be operated, but without the de-
structive charge, by keys in the shore
station.
If vessel is caught in any Of the
squares which the mines are suppos-
ed to cover, the key discharging that
mine will be pushed, and the vessel
will be conStructively blown up. In
like manner, when a vessel comes
within range of the siege guns or
mortars they will be constructively
battered with shell and dynamite.
There are to be no extensive ma
neuvers on land. 1t Is not presumed
that the defenses Will be penetrated
so as to call for a4and defense; but
the regulars at Fort Meyer and other
points in the vicinity of Washing
ton will be ready to throw up a few
trenches and to check landing party
in case any tricks are tried like that
worked by the British in 1914, when
they sailed up the Potomac. and then,
with a few light boats, went up the
Petuzent and across country, coming
in one Washington from the north
east, where there are no defenses of
any kind.

BUTTE, Mont, June 12.-Clad in
boots, overalls and jumper, with
strap for a belt, and wearing a big
SLOUGH hat over the glossy black coils
of abundant hair that winds about
her head, Mrs. Charles L. Geyman de-
sends every morning into Yankee
Boy" mine and works all day among
her husbands force of 80 men, di
recting them and experimenting their
duties.
Her husband is in the Silver Bow
county Jail, charged with taking ore
through an underground tunnel from
a neighboring mine. The charge WAS
brought against him by the Amalga-
mated Copper company.
For several weeks Charles Geyman
has been in Jail, but never since his
incarceration, have his interests been
allowed to suffer, or the much-needed
profits of his little mine to deterior-
ate, for when the sheriff took Geyman
into custody his wife took charge of
the Yankee Boy"
A typical woman of the west, with
physical strength and vigor as well as
a rave spirit and diversified capable
tiles, Mrs. Geyman laid hold of the
work with earnestness and so capable
has her management been that the
"Yonkee Boy" is now on splendidly

FIELD MARSHAL 0YAMA
~~ TALKS OF THE WAR

In stature he is very much above the
average height of the japanese and
his shoulders are broad and his chest
deep. His broad and jolly face plain
ly shows the marks of smallpox, a
disease from which he suffered many
years ago.
Access TO Field Marshal Oyama is
very easy. His life, like his charac-
ter, is simple. In the nine months
have been with the japanese army in
the field l have called on him perhaps
half a dozen times. Every time have
seen him and seen him at once. He
has a wonderful memory for faces
and names and never forgets either.
When I entered his quarters the
other day with Captain Tanaka. his
adjutant and aide, who speaks En-
glish perfectly, Marquis Oyama arose
from his chair and came forward to
meet me. Taking me into small
room off the main reception room he
drew up a chair for me and brought
in cigars and cigarettes from his pri-
vate room.

The field marshal laughed.

/ assured him that he was mis-
taken, that people did want to hear
from him. But 1t was not until I
told him that it would be a great
personal favor to me that he consent
ed to make statement. 1t was a
demonstration of one of the great
points of the mans character. He
had no desire to be interviewed, no
desire for any more publicity; but if
by making statement he could help
someone else, even a humble CORE
spondent, he was willing to do it.
He crossed his legs and swung one
foot. He took fresh grip on his

said, can you tell me anything about
that?"
II am only a soldier, not a poll

will arrange the terms of peace when
the time comes. 1t is entirely out

THINK CARL BECKER, FAMOUS
SALARIED FORGER UP TO OLD TRICKS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1o.-Carl
Becker, the forger most feared by the
bankers of America and who is said
to receive a salary from number or
leading banks on condition that he
will commit no more forgeries, is be-
lieved by the San Francisco police TO
be up to his old tricks. Soon after
Becker's release from San Quentin
penitentiary, where he was sent to
serve a sentence for raising check
for 1922 to $4,000, realizing the full
amount of the forgery, Becker is said
to have been approached by members
of the American Bankers association
and an arrangement made whereby
Becker promised to renounce his life
of crime in return for a monthly sal
airy. Recently, however, a s21 check
raised to s21OO appeared in saloon

CAPTAIN CHARLES DAVIS.


Ell PASO, Tex, June l. Ell Paso
has, perhaps, the most picturesque
mayor of any city in the United

captain in the civil war on the con-

came captain of industry, and has
amassed an immense fortune.

Ell Paso's picturesque mayor has
for many years played the game of
politics simply for the fun there is
in it. On one occasion a few years
ago on election night local news

an upstairs editorial room window
reading the returns through a mega
phone to an immense throng congre-
gated in the street. Being somewhat
short of actual returns, the man be-
hind the megaphone threw In a few
facetious remarks which were dis
pleasing to Captain Davis. A moment
later a bullet punctured the mega
phone.

replaced his six-shooter in his hip
