Puget Sound is placed first by the Government statis ticians but an error of nearly 6M.00O bushels Is responsible for that. While Puget Sound shipped 2,056,332 bushels of wheat, according to Custom-House figures, It is given credit by the Government bulletin with sending out 2.62S.404 bushels. Never in the history of the Pacific Xorthwest have the wheat exports held up as well as this season. February broke all records for shipments to foreign porta and the (March figures will not fall far behind those of the preceding month. Over 1,000,000 bushels have been set afloat from Portland so far during the present month and by the first of April that much more will have, been cleared. Flour shipments from Portland have not been as heavy as usual. This is due to the slump in the Japanese market. Busi ness has taken a turn for the better and exports of flour for the next few months tIU be much better. All available space on tho steamship Arabia, scheduled to snil April 13, has been taken and reserva tions are being made for the June steam ship.

LICENSE MAY BE LOST Hearing Begun to Determine Rights or Rival Claimants In Attach ment Proceedings Reveals Flaw in Liquor Permits. Testimony regarding the ownership of Erickson's saloon at Second and Burnslde streets was taken yesterday afternoon before a Sheriff's jury at the Courthouse It developed during the progress of th trial that this, the largest saloon in Port laud, has been running for some time without a license. While ownership of tho place is said to have been vested In the Hugo Fritz Company, the. city and government saloon licenses were issued to Hugo Fritz. This is contrary to a Federal statute, which provides that th license must be issued to the corpora tion doing the saloon business. On the other hand, a city ordinance, passed in 1907, provides that no licenses shall be Issued by the municipality to corporations, but specifies that before the law goes into effect corporations do ing a saloon business shall name some member to whom the license shall be is sued. Each time Fritz renewed his li cense he swore that he owned the Brick son saloon, according to yesterday's tes timony. As the law is now in effect, and as the Hugo Fritz Company, which al leges that it is the real owners of the Erlckson saloon, has never designated to what member of the firm a license should be issued, it appears that it cannot now do so, and that it will possibly bo put out of business. Two Women in Case. The old saying that a woman is at the bottom of the trouble applies In the present case. Bur there are two women concerned instead of one. Frances Fritz, who was the first wife of Hugo Fritz, filed a suit against him January 20 to recover $950 damages. She had employed C. V. Dolph to act as her attorney. Mrs. Fritz told Dolph that Fritz had obtained a divorce from her in ttie Circuit Court of Columbia County by perjuring himself. Mr. Dolph was told that Fritz swore that he did not know the address of his wife, while in reality he did. She said she knew nothing at the time regarding the filing of the suit. She had advanced money to Fritz, according to her story, when he was in business in San Fran cisco, but his business there failed. Then Fritz came to Portland, obtained more money from his first wife and, having secured a divorce from her, married again within two months, al though the Oregon statute provides that six months must elapse after a divorce is obtained before a second marriage can be contracted. Mrs. Fritz No. 1 is said to have told Mr. Dolph that Fritz then obtained more funds from Mrs. Fritz No. 2. . Mr. Dolph's testimony on the witness stand yesterday was to the effect that Mrs. Fritz came to him last January and said that Fritz told her that the suit she had filed against him was ruin ing his business. She told Dolph that she still loved Fritz and wanted to with draw tlfte suiL Mr. Dolph told her she was foolish to do so, but as she in sisted, there was nothing else to be done. Fritz Failed to Pay. Fritz wo&Id not pay the money which the woman alleged he owed her, so she went to Mr. Dolph again, and on Janu ary 23 a second suit was filed. This suit was dismissed at her request, and nothing more was done in court re garding the money until February 21, when a third suit was filed. On March !, after hearing the evidence, the court awarded the woman $2955 damages. A few days thereafter the Sheriff levied a writ of attachment on the liquors and cigars in Erickson's saloon, which had supposedly belonged So Fritz. It was then that the Hugo Fritz Company came upon the scene to demand the surrender of the goods, alleging that they were not the property of Fritz. At the trial yesterday testimony was given to the effect that John P. Sharkey purchased the saloon from Erlckson on October 4. 1906. for $10,000. Sharkey then went to Blumauer & Hoch and to the "Weinhard estate and obtained a loan of $5000 from each of them. In return the Lemcke Company, then composed of Mr. Sharkey. George Lemcke, H. W. Lemcke and Hugo Fritz, gave two notes for $5000 each, securing them by a mortgage on the property. It was agreed that the "Weinhard loan was to be paid first from the proceeds of the business. Sharkey is said to have represented to the mortgagees that he bought the saloon for $30,000. The Hugo Fritz Com pany was afterward incorporated for $50,000. At the time Sharkey purchased the saloon from Erickson the latter told of the faithful service Fritz had rendered him and said he didn't like to see. Fritz discharged, whereupon Sharkey agreed that Fritz should be given a half inter est in the business when it was organ ized, if Fritz would pay $6009. It is said that Fritz never did this. West Xot Informed. Sharkey afterward sold his interest in the property to C. E. West. Mr. West said on the witness stand yesterday that he paid $4000 for Sharkey's $10,000 worth of stock, consisting of 160 shares".-.. He was employed as treasurer and book keeper. . He said he never paid any atten tion to the license until a short time ago. Although the two licenses were hanging on the wall, he said he had not noticed in whose name they stood. He didn't know, he said, in whose name the ownership of the saloon appeared in the telephone -directory. Clashes between the warring attorneys were of frequent occurrence, the lie be ing passed in one instance. During the general hubbub, where at least five tried to talk at once, the court reporter broke in to Inform the unruly attorneys that one must talk at a time if a report was to be made of what they said. In a short time the verbal melee broke out again, and another effort had to be made to quell the disturbance. The hearing was continued until this morning at 9:30. when additional testi mony will be taken. TITLE BANK CASE IX COURT Arguments on Demurrers Heard by Judge Cleland. Arguments on the demurrers tiled by the attorneys for the THle Bank of ficials were heard yesterday 'morning by Judge Cleland in the Circuit CourL Dis trict Attorney Manning pronounced the motions and demurrers, which seek to have the infopvpfations against the offi cials of. the defunct bank thrown out of Want It?

This charge was resent ed by Attorney Harrison Allen, repre senting T. T. Burkhart and John E. Aitchison. "I beg the court at this time to pass on these demurrers, so we can get them out of -the way," said Mr. Manning. "It is our wish to get the case in shape for trial. It is absurd to ask me to come before the court and argue points of law that have practically been passed upon by your Honor. It is frivolous to raise them now, and, as your Honor well knows, these motions and .demurrers have been filed only to bring about a delay in the trial of these cases. If it were some common criminal, charged with highway robbery, there would have been no long list of demurrers and mo tions in his behalf, and no delay of three or four months." Mr. Allen then arose and said: "The defendants are not here to be abused for standing up for their rights. The District Attorney ought to prouuee authorities here, instead of pitching into the defendants. I don't like it, and I don't think Brother Manning needs to put the court through any catechism." Attorney Wallace McCamant. on be half of J. Thorburn Ross, said in his argument that the informations are not clear as to whether it is intended to charge the bank officials with having the money of the state in their posses sion as Individuals, or as officials. In case the bank was In charge of tne money, he said, the informations do not allege a crime. Mr. McCamant also said that State Treasurer Steel made the demand . for the state funds on a legal holiday, heneo trie demand was not legal and payment was not compulsory. Mr. Manning replied that the bank officials did their best to comply with the demand, even making the state a preferred creditor, so that the allegation that payment would not have been legal has no foundation. Judge Cleland took the case under ad visement. COURT OVERRULES DEMURRER W. A. Laidlaw Must Go to Trial With Other Defendants. In the Federal Court yesterday Judge Wolverton overruled tho demurrer of V. A. Laidlaw to the complaint in the suit brought by the state to recover $300,000. of which it is charged the farmers of Crook County have been defrauded by his irrigation schemes. Laidlaw will now have to go to trial with the other de fendants. The case is the State versus the Three Sisters Irrigation Company, the Columbia Irrigation Company, the Ore gon Trust & Savings Bank and W. A. Laidlaw. The project in question is the irriga tion of 27,000 acres of land under the Carey act, surrounding the town of Laid law, near the Deschutes Kiver. The state allowed a charge of $14.75 per acre for putting water on this tract. The pro moters had sold 18.000 acres on this basis when the farmers had the court stop the sale, two years ago, claiming only $10, 000 had been spent for their beneflL An effort will now be made to recover the difference from Laidlaw. OFFERED WIFE FOR SALE Charge Made by Mrs. Louis Sherman in Divorce Suit. Louis Sherman frequently said that she was not hlswlfe, and offered to sell her for $5 to the first comer, according to the allegations Sarah Sherman makes in a suit for divorce tiled in the Circuit Court yesterday.

Whisky Flasks on Pastor's Lawn Practical Jokers Play Mean Trick on Rev. T. B. Ford, of Sonny-side M. E. Church. DR. T. B. FORD, pastor of Sunny side Methodist Episcopal Church, who is conducting a series of revival services, met with a big surprise one morning recently, w"hen he went to ihe front door of the parsonage to get his copy of The Oregonian. Lying about on the grass of the lawn were numer ous empty whisky flasks. At first he hardly knew what to think, but he was certain of one thing the bottles were not emptied by himself or by the members of his family. He there fore decided that some one had per petrated a trick, probably to em barrass him. After gathering up the bottles and storing them away out of sight.
