SPY IN EACH
UNIT, FOE PLAN

WASHINGTON, d. C, June 90
iGermany's plan to place n spy with
every unit of the American army failed
chiefly because of the prompt action
of the department of justice in arrest
ing and interning German aliens, the
senate military committee was told to-
day by Brig Gen. Marlborough
Churhill, chief Of the department of
military intelligence.
Explaining the working of his de-
partment, the officer said agents had
been sent into Germany through The
Hague and other points as well as di-
lrectly through the German lines. The
army received much valuable informa-
tion from them, he added. President
Wilson and the state department, he
testified. were kept informed by the
service of the breaking of the morale
of the German people just before the
armistice.
Gen. Churchill told of hunting down
German agents and said special
study of bolshevism in this country
had been made. He furnished a map
showing bolshevist assembly points in
New York and Brooklyn.
"On the signing of the armistice, -
said Gen. Churchill, ION my recon-
mendation l received orders TO cease
all such Investigations in the United
States, as 1t was not thought to he q
proper thing for the military authori-
ties to be doing i'm a free country.

OBJECTION IS
MADE TO SITE
OF NEW OIL CO.
East Court Property Own
ers and Sisters of st. Fran
els Protest to Council.
OIL PLANT WOULD
ENDANGER HOSPITAL
Oil Company Representa-
tives Declare Danger of
Fire Remote.

A remonstrance signed by all ply
sicians practicing at the st. Anthony s
hospital. the Sisters OF s. Francis and
most of the property owners along
East Court street east of the railroad
crossing was filed with the city coun-
Gil last evening against permitting the
Union Oil Company to erect a distrib-
uting station on its proposed site just
beyond the wooden mills. III. ]. War
ner appeared in behalf of the sign
eTS.
Fire hazard and the psychological
effect of an oil plant on the minds of
patients were advanced by the re-
monstrators as reason for their COM
plant They also cited the danger
to children in the St. Joseph's acad-
envy, in case of fire or explosion.
c. C. ireland, representing the oil
company, declared the type of plant
proposed TO be as near fireproof as
any structure can be made and every
unit in the plant equipped with all
the safety devices known.
Explosions in the storage tanks
are impossible" he said. "The oil
will burn il ignited but will not shat
ter the tanks nor damage nearby
buildings even in case of being fired
by lightning
The plant which the oil company
asked permission to erect here would
consist of four 10000 gallon CORFU
gated iron and steel TANKS on con-
crete foundations, Mr.. Ireland ex.
planned. There would be no fire al
lowed anywhere on the premises, even
the office being electrically heated All
oil would he handled by gravity pumps
ard the loading be done under en-
closures
Refusal of the O.-W. r. & n. rail-
road to allow the company to install
spur track in any place but the
proposed location made that site inn
perative, Mr.. ireland told the council.
Efforts have been made for six
to get a site here, he said, but
only now has it been possible to get
a location to which the railroad would
agree to switch. sites in the west end
OF town could not be obtained he said.
Members of the council expressed
as anxious to bring a new
concern here. inasmuch as the outlay
will be $4,000 and a payroll of five
men will begin the day the plant is
ir operation. They decided to give
sc rious consideration to the remon-
STRANGE. however, and it is now in the
hands of the claims and street COM
mittee fof recommendation.
The company proposes to distribute
for Umatilla county. Union and Baker
counties from this point, Mr.. II
said last evening. The plant must
be on a connection with the railroad

AUTO MECHANIC MUST
Be GRANTED LICENSE

Application blanks which must be
filled out by all applicants for an auto
mechanics license. arrived at the
county clerks office today. All auto
mechanics must fill out these forms
and send them to the state Auto Me-
chanics Examining Board before Ju-
ly 5. Examinations for licenses will
be held sometime next month.
The law became effective May 29,
having been passed by the 1919 legis-
lature. Tt is intended to protect auto
owners against inferior workmanship

All persons working at auto repairs
after Dec. 1 and unlicensed are sub
ject to 500 fine. While no provision
is made in the law for examination to
be held there. it is thought in the

tions may be given here. Otherwise
applicants will have to go to La
Grande for their papers.
