NAVAL VICE PROBE
 CAUSES ARGUMENT
Episcopal Bishop at Newport Claims Attempt Is Being Made to
 Trap Him.

. Newport. F. l., March IA pro- test that an effort was being made by Lieut.. F. N. Hudson, U. S. N, to &"entrap" him was voiced from the witness stand yesterday by Bishop James De Wolfe Perry of the EDis- copal diocese of Rhode Island at the hearing before naval board of in quiry into charges that the maya anti-yice squad was guilty of vicious practices Judge Advocate Hyne held that the protest was ''Close to contempt of court and moved that 1t be stricken from the records. The court, however, allowed the bishops statem ent to stand, and announced that it was willing and able to pro tect' him.
 Bishop Ferry who was one of the signers of a letter written to Presi- dent Wilson by local Protestant min isters in which the charges now under inquiry were made, was under cross examina ton by Lieut.. Hudson. The latter is a party interest in the proceedings. He was on duty with the anti-vice squad during the time of the alleged practices,
 Lieut.. Hudson stressed iii his eN- animation questions as to whether CllS EptSCopot NcAAh0t ciiNN oA h' held recently at Detroit considered the moral chara cter of Rev. Samuel Kent who was acquitted last year of charges of innm orality. Bishop Perry said the question had not been raised at the conference. When Hudson pressed the question in another form the bishop said he thought he saw the "object of this questioning,' and added:
 II refuse to be cntrapped by that person."
 A moment later Bishop Perry ad- dressed the court protesting inst the method of questioning which is being used by the interested party. It is very evident, the trap he is laying for me and I was aware of it before this question was over. 1 wish 10 protest

BIG DOINGS AT POMONA

Bad weather was not handicap to
prevent a big attendance at Pomona
Grange, held at Toledo last Wednes-
day, nor could it damper the enthus-
iasm of those present in relation to
number of big projects confronting
Lincoln County people. Four reso-
lutions of Importance were presented
and adopted: One providing for the
organization of a dairymen's associa
ton in Lincoln County; another re-
questing that all candidates for county
commissioner and county judge state
publicly their position in regard to
the construction of bridge across the
Yaquina River; the third approving
the project of the building of rail
road from Toledo to the head of tide
on the Siletz by the Toledo Port Dis
trict; and lastly, with perhaps more
enthusiasm than for any other Of the
resolutions heretofore mentioned, the
hearty approval of the higher educa-
tional tax bill, which provides main
tenaNcD needed by the three higher
educational institutions, University of
Oregon, Oregon Agricultural College,
and Monmouth State Normal.
This last resolution is of particular
importance to Lincoln County people,
for unless this bill passes, as was
pointed out, it will be necessary to
curtail the enrolment at these three
institutions. This action would natur-
ally mean that it would be impossible
for all the boys and girls in Oregon
wishing to avail themselves Of the ed
ucatiohal facilities of these institutions
doing SO.
State Master c. E. Spence, from
Oregon City, and Prof. E. d. Ressler
of the Oregon Agricultural College
were the special speakers on the pro
gram. A bountiful feast was served
at noon, and at six o'clock, luncheon
including modified oyster cocktail
was served. The fifth degree was
given to a class in the evening.
The next Pamona Grange will be
held at Eddyville on the twenty-fourtl
of June.

lain to letter from C.. ID. Davis, 3ccre-

Newton d. Baker, secretary of war,
has written:
"The war department recognizes the
growing commercial importance of va
quina bay and will give full considera-
tion to its protection in connection
with the general projects for the de-
fence of the Pacific coast, which are
now under revision in the light Of ex-
perience gained in the world war. In
general it may be said that our i'm
proved resources in railway and mo-
bile artilory, supplemented by naval
submarines and contact mines, win
afford adequate protection to Pacific
coast points without the construction
Of permanent fortifications at harbors

SOUTH TALKS SECESSION

"One other important matter spoken
Of at this meeting was the request
through o. V. Hurt made by residents
of the south end of Lincoln County
that they be allowed to unite and be-
come part of Benton county. This,
If it could be done, would greatly add
to the valuation of Benton county.
The part Of the county in question is
all that portion of Lincoln county ex-
tending from Benton to the coast and
from three miles north of Waldport
to the southern boundary.
"The people give as their reason for
desiring annexation the fact that they
are situated nearer to Corvallis and
on a better highway and would rather
do their business here than in Toledo,
the present county seat of Lincoln.
"They desire to get the cooperation
of the Corvallis Commercial Club and
at the fall election they want to vote
on the change. Like Barcus, Benton
is willin' but it seems far from likely
that Lincoln, or the north end of Lin.
coin, will be.
"In the south lies the greatest spruce
belt in the northwest and billions of
feet Of other fine timber There are
approximately 1900 people in the
south who desire the change but there
