City Commercial Club, MAIL MESSENGER JAILED AT SALEM MAN ONE OF FIRST N COUNTRY ACCUSED OF ROBBING PARCEL POST BIG DRY GOODS STORE HIS AIM Wife Break Down and Telia Author ities Where Loot of Pos tal Clerk Is Se creted SALEM, Or.. March 19. William Martin, assistant mail messenger for the postofllce here, Is occupying a cell In the county jail, and seems des tined to occupy one in the federal prison for a number of years, for he wa arrested here by United States Postal Inspector H. G. Durand and C. M. Perkins, of Portland, it Is al leged wblle In the act of stealing puree) post packages which be was conveying to the Southern Pacific depot, After his arrest a search wa made In bis home by Sheriff Esch and there was unearthed about a ton of merchandise 11 heaping dry goods boxes In all goods stolen from the postofllce and from the stores in this city. Burdened down with Complaints that parcel post package were not reaching their destination. Postmas ter Fnrrnr some time ago turned them over to the Inspector at Port land. Suspicion fell on Martin, and when be proceeded to the depot with his wagon, Postal Inspectors Durand and Perkins followed and watched him. After the delivery of the mall and parcels to the company's agent, the Inspectors observed In hi wag on a giinny sack which appeared to contain packages, and they examin ed it. Their suspicions proved to be well founded, for the sack was half full of parcel post packages. Armed with a search warrant. Sher iff Esch then mode a search of Mar tin' home. Nothing was discovered until he examined a bedroom, which was occupied by Mk-s. Martin, who declared she was 111. This room con tained 11 drygoods boxes which were locked, nnd upon opening them the sheriff found old clothes of the fam ily on top, but beneath there was merchandise of every conceivable description. When pressed for an explanation ns' to where her husband obtained the goods. Mrs. Martin at first dis claimed all knowledge of them, but when Informed Cint Bhe would be tak en to jail unless Jhe told all she knew, she confessed. According to her confession, Martin had stolen goods from the postofllce and from the department store o( the city. Martin also confessed to having taken some of the merchandise from the postofllce, but where jie obtained the rest he would not say. He de clared to some that he was hard press ed, the government paying only JiiO a month for his services, and that this was the reason why he stole. He said be had a family of 10, and that he had not Intended to dispose of the loot, but to use It for tha ben efit of his family. To others, howev er, he said he intended to go to Eastern Oregon and start a store, and that Is regarded as the more likely story, for he had notified the postal oflU'tal that he Intended to quit. Martin purchased the contract to carry the mall from Thomas Ander aon, and it la believed his peculations from tbe postofllce extend back to the adoption of the parcel post sys tem. An Investigation made by Sheriff Esch shows this has not been the first time Martin has been In trouble, for he was once arrested under the ad ministration of Sheriff Culver for forgery. After being bound over to the circuit court, he was examined as to his sanity and committed to the asylum. The official express the belief that he Is a drug fiend.

Several property owners have declined to pay the spec ial tax, although tendering checks for the usual county and state taxes. Tbe decision of the county court will halt much road work In the conn. ty. The total fund amount to $C4,- 702.85. Tbe statute In question Is enttled "An act to amend section C321, Lord's Oregon l4ws." Tbe section which was devised to correct the defect In the fonner law is as follows: "All taxes heretofore levied and raised under the provisions of Chap ter 202, laws 1909 and prior thereto, are hereby Invalidated and declared to be lawful taxes and collectible, notwithstanding any formal defects in the levy thereof, or In the law pro viding for the same." The period for obtaining a rebate on tax money came to a close Satur day. Sheriff Mass said that the prop erty owners for the moBt part 'jad been prompt In tbe payment of their taxes, nnd that probably more money had been received thus far this year than ever before. Tbe Portland Rall woy, Light & Power Company sent the office a check for 125,000 and the Southern Pacific Company sent a check for $25,000. The Crown-Col-1 umbla Pulp & Paper Company mail ed a check for $6,000.

SPECIAL LEVY TAX WILLAMETTE MAN INSISTS CITY IS NOT LEGALLY INCOR PORATED NO CHARTER ADOPTED, HE DECLARE? Lumber Company's Check for Taxe On Timber Land I Declined Be cause Special Road Levy I Ignored The legality of the Incorporation of Willamette is questioned In a suit filed Thursday by James Downey, ex mayor of the town, against E. T. Mass, sheriff, to restrain the collec tion of a 10-mlll special tax, which the council levied for general muni cipal purposes. After having been conducted as a city for about two years, Circuit Judge Campbell about a year ago, decided that the place had not been legally Incorporated. At an other election It wag decided to re Incorporate, and this action Is ques tioned In the suit filed Thursday. The complaint alleges that the city has failed to adopt a charter, and the state laws do not give any municipal ity authority to levy a tax unless by virtue ot power granted by the city charter. It is contended that inas much as the place has failed to adopt a charter, the council is powerless to make a levy. Dlmlck ft Dlmlck, rep resenting the plaintiff, called atten tion In the complaint to the repeal of sections 2709 and 2710 of Bellinger and Cotton's Code which gave lncor porated towns authority to make lev ies for municipal purposes. The sec tions were repealed In 1907. Declaring that the Supreme Court has decided that special road taxes are Illegal. The Hammond Lumber Company Thursday tendered a check to Sheriff Mass for 213 taxes. The spec ial road tax in district No. 49 of 10 mills was not Included and the sher iff declined to accept the check for other taxes. The Oregon Iron ft Steel Company, which has a large plant at Oswego, sent the sheriff a check for $7,000 and the Wil lamette Pulp ft Paper Company paid $14,411.23 taxes.

LIVE WIRE HEAD SAYS MOLALLA LINE WOULD BE BOON TO COUNTY 550,000 IS NEEDED BY COMPANY Need of Hitching Posts Urged Organization Pure Water Is Sought by Wires Committee By Completion of the Molalla railroad, pure water, public dock and hitching posts were the subjects that en grossed the attention of the Live Wires of the Commercial Club at their weekly luncheon Tuesday. H. E. Cross, Main Trunk of the organi zation, made a stirring plea for the early completion of the Clackamas Southern railway, and he was second ed by Grant B. Dlmlck, B. T. &9c Bain, and others who have spent time and money in an effort to bring tbe Molalla country in close touch with Oregon City. The company needs about $50,000 to place the line in operation this year. The ties and rails have been purchased, but some grading Btill remains to be done, and the money available for the purchase of the rails cannot be used to cover grading expense. However the friends of the project are working hard, with every prospect of ultimate, if not speedy success. The old story of the lack of hitch ing posts at Oregon City came up In the form of letters from Maple Lane, Clalrmont and Mount Pleasant, and the matter was referred to L. Adams, Frank Busch and W. A. Huntley, who have their work cut out for them. Tne need of more and better accomodations is fully recog nized by the retail merchants' of Ore gon City, but the consent of property owners has always been a stumbling block In tbe past toward establishing additional hitching facilities. Reports were received by the com mittees on pure water and public docks. Both matters will be called to the attention of the city council Wed nesday night, the pure water situa tion in the form ot a report from En gineer Dleck, who has been for sev eral weeks searching for sources of pure water supply, and the dock question In the form of a petition from practically all the live business men tor the establishment of a dock. It is understood that the engineer's report will contain a great deal of data that will be of value and of in terest to all those Interested in a bet ter water supply for Oregon City.
