ing the greatest ship building boom
ever known, with contracts already let

third engagement at Bremerton. All

services resulting in ITO converts dur
ing the twelve days he was there.
He will stay in Salem until Friday

begin at Independence, holding forth
there until April /. From independence

cation. Before leaving Bremerton, ar.

ed by the managers, however. They de-
clare neither owners nor men could
afford to have a strike called at this
time. Unofficially, four reasons were
given for this feeling.
That the railways could not, under
any circumstances, afford to see their
lines tied up at the present time.

Instead Of 3O---But This
Proves Mistake

Seattle, Wash, Mar. 13,-Federal
prosecutors spceded up their work of
corroborating various points in the
amazing testimony given by Logan
Billingsley, king of bootleggers in Am
erica S largest dry city, when the booze
graft conspiracy trial Of Mayor Gill,
Chief Of Police Becbinham, ex-Sheriff

cd today
BY a stipulation entered into late yes

ing that the liquor ships involved in
the case We're of an interstate char
acter.
Attorneys for the defense started
their Toss-examination Of Arthur R
Hatton, o bookkeeper for Logan Bill
Kingsley this morning.
Hatton had testified he heard Logan
quarreling with his brother Fred over
money, in the Planters hotel here Aug
ust 30, and that Logan said he was ego
ing down to see the old man." That
was the day Logan Billingsley claims
he paid $4,000 bribc to Mayor Gill.

call. He said he had given records Of
that call and another to the county jail
to Mrs. Logan Billingsley as part Of her
bill.
The first marked discrepancy in Log.
an Billingsley's story of how he bribed
Mayor Gill with $4,000 August 30, was
developed by government witness

UNION IRON WORKS

Oakland, Cal, March I3.-Govcrn-
ment ship contracts aggregating more
than $4,000, 900, which were TO have
been filed at the East Bay plant Of
the Union Iron Works on Oakland es-
tuary, within the next two years, have
been transferred TO the San Francisco
plant of the same concern on account
Of the unsettled labor conditions, ac-
eording to announcement made by the
corporation today.
The transfer affects eight suhma.
rines to cost $S50. 600 each; six torpedo

eral smaller craft. The decision of the
Union Iron Works directorate is de-

suit Of the Importance of the navy con
tracts and turbulent conditions which
made their possible fulfillment mat
ter of speculation.
This decision follows the walkout
of nearly 2500 skilled and unskilled la
borers at the Union Iron Works shops
last week and the strike of six hundred
unskilled laborers at the Moore and
Scott plant. Many of the skilled la
borers who have quit their employ
ments have peen compelled to do SO
through a scarcity of unskilled helpers
who took part in the general walkout
In the meantime efforts are being
made by city health and public safety
Commissioner F. f. Jackson to bring
about a settlement. He held a confer
enee with representatives Of the labor
organizations and expects there viii
be a meeting this afternoon of repre-
sentatives of the labor unions and the
Union Iron Works and of the Moore
and Scott yard.
Commissioners Jackson said today
that he believes the trouble will be set
tied, temporarily at least and that the
men will go back to work pending fin
al adjustment of the dispute.

WANT BOYS TRAINED
BUT WITHOUT GUNS
Mothers Generally Opposed
to Putting Muskets In
Boys Hands

How TO keep a musket out of a high
school boys hands, and vet at the
same time give him the physical ad.
vantages of military training is the
problem that is facing not only the
Salem school board, but many others in
the state.
All agree that the youth as well as
the maid should receive patriotic
physical training and that the young
man should be given exercise similar
to the West Point idea. All agree that
the average youth is flat ehested,
stoop shouldercd and his walking is
lacking in the virtues attributed to a
live man. And all directors here as
well as elsewhere are agreed that some
thing must be done to give that train
ing. How to do it and keep out the
military spirit is the question. Women
object to the word military" If the
youth would drill with broom stick.
the question would be easily solved.
But the average youth has some real
blood in him and prefers musket,
while his mother is opposed to any
thing of the kind.
The high school boys are willing and
sent a committee of two last evening
to attend the meeting of the school
board to discuss, not military train
ing, but patriotic physical exercise.
Chairman A. A. Lee and Director Max
o. Bupen expressed themselves in
favor of the physical patriotic train
ing, camp instruction and other things
the boy scouts know but to make a
soldier of the youth met with no favor
The mental training boy gets in the
way of quick thinking, Willingness to
accept discipline and comradeship all
agreed was among the advantages Of
the proposed training.
As two of the directors were absent
Il. I. Barnes and H. O. White, no def
mite action was taken on the proposal
of the young men who met with the
board to organize. At an early meet
ing the board will take up the prob
lem how to give the youth the ad
yantages of the West Point physical
training and at the same time keep out
the military idea. The last legislature
passed law regarding military train
ing in the public schools but failed to
set aside any funds for the purchase
of equipment.

STEAMSHIP COMPANY
WINS DAMAGE SUIT
Sinking of Steamer Due To
Fault of 0thers--Fiye
Other Opinions

Two Marion county cases were hand.
ed down by the Oregon supreme court
this morning.
In the case of t. Rosenwald, as T.
Rosenwald s Company, appellant,
against the Oregon City Transportation
company, respondent, appealed from
Marion county, an action for damages
to hops sunk in the Willamette river
when the steamboat 0regOna was sunk
in a collision with the United States
government dredge "Champoeg, De
eember 26, 1913, Judge Burnett af-
firmed the decision of the lower court
The opinion states that on December
26, 1913, the plaintiff delivered to the
defendant as common carrier GER
tain number of bales of hops for trans
portation to Portland but that during
the voyage the ship sank and the hops
were damaged The defense set up
that the plaintiff signed contract
which excepted the "dangers of navi-
cation, fire, leakage, rats, etc" The
defense also set up that the fault of
the sinking was not due to the care
less ness of the company but the gov
ernment employees operating the dredge
They assert the hops came to their
damage through the neglect and care
lessness of the dredge engineers, who
caused the position of the dredge to be
changed.
The decision of the lower court was
sustained.
The other Marion county case was
that brought by Britt Aspinwall,
respondent, against John S. Dunlavy,
appellant, appeal from decision of the
court under Judge Galloway, eontro-
versy concerning a strip of land 1912
chains long and 16 links wide at one
end and Is 12 links at the other end.
According to the statement of the
case, the plaintiff and the defendant
bought certain tracts of land from NJ.
L. Jones and wife that difficulty
arose later concerning a line fence. The
question at issue concerns "whether
or not by mutual mistake the land in
controversy was omitted from the
deed to the respondent"
Careful reading of the record, says
the opinion of Justice Harris, con
vinces that there was no mistake and
that Aspinwall received what he agred
to purchase. The decree of the lower
court is reversed and the suit dismissed
without costs to either party. Justices
Mcbride, Benson, and Burnett concur
The other decisions were as follows:
John Wilson Estate Co., respondent
against Dammeier Investment com
pany, ct al, appellants, appeal from
Multnomah county, Judge McGinn; ac
ton on a promissory note; affirmed by
Justice Benson.
Theodore Hagenberger, respondent
against town of Milwaukee, and Sam
uel Riley, fire marshal, appellants, ap
peal from Clackamas county, Judge
Campbell; suit to remove cloud from
title; affirmed by Judge Burnett.
William c. Gregan, respondent
against the Northwestern Nationai In
surance company of Milwaukee, Wis.
appellant, appeal Multnomah county
Judge Belt; suit to reform policy OF

McCammant.
