Kern, publisher of the Zeitung, is publisher of the American, and it is understood that Max Lucke, the German-born editor of the Zeitung, who has been under investigation by the govern ment, and other German employes of the paper, have been dismissed. "The last Issue of the Deutsche Zeitung was distributed yesterday to its readers,' says an editorial In the American. "The attorney of the Ger man Publishing Company in an Inter view with the United States Attorney, was informed by this official of his Intention to suppress the paper un less it discontinued publication of matter in the German language. "The directors of the German Pub- s AT THE MAJBSTIO TOMOltROW llshlng Company wish to make it known to Its luousands of readers, whose right to read a two-language paper has been thus taken away, that the representatives of the national government have forced this paper to suspend publication and that the Portland American, all English, Is the best, and for the present the only substitute which can be offered to the subscribers for the Deutsche Zei tung."

Ask your local agent for particulars. John M. Scott, General Passenger Agent, Portland. SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES PORTLAND, Sept. 19. S. W. Wil liams, special assistant to the attor ney general of the Unitud States, is in Portland to remain for some time, in charge of a suit to be brought against the Oregon & California Rail road Company for an accounting of sums recoived for tho sale of Oregon & California grant lands. The Ferris-Chamberlain bill auth orized a suit to determine what amount Bhall be paid by the govern ment for its $2.50 an acre equity in the 2,300,000 acres of tho land grant forfeited. From this equity there is to be de ducted, under the bill, money for back taxes due the counties, and money which the railroad company has received for the Bale o Its lands in excess of $2.50 per acre. Just how much has been so received, and accordingly how much to deduct, wilt be determined in the suit for an ac counting. An Interesting question will also arise over the status of the Booth Kelly Lumber Company as an Inno cent purchaser of Oregon & California grant lands. This company bought approximately 70,000 acres from the railroad company prior to 1908, pay ing from $10 to $15 an acre.' Later, under an act of congress of 1912, it was required to pay the government $2.50 on each acre, for which it is now suing the railroad company. Mr. Williams will determine whether tho government is interested In any way In this suit. m Mr. Williams spent several months here two years ago for the purpose of making a detailed report to the attorney-general. His findings formed the basis for the Ferris-Chamberlain bill. He waB instrumental in obtaining for the state Its percentage of the money to be obtained from Bale of the grant lands. Under the arrangement adopt ed, the Btale's school fund will re ceive 26 per cent, the road fund 25, the United States reclamation fund 40 and the government treasury 10 per cent. Mr. Williams during his stay hero, probably will supervise and handle the payments of back taxes which are to be made by the government to the Oregon counties.

The second train which brought more than 450 of the recruits was composed of men from San Mateo, Tulare, and Kern counties, Hukerstleld furnishing the largest number of any one place, the number from there being 202. Tho boys were In especially good spirits apaprently and seemed eager to get Into active service. The sides of the cars wore covered with slo gans among which were "We'll kill the kaiser, girls, don't worry." "We want the kaiser and we're going to get him," and others of a similar nature. One car ahd a cartoon of the kaiser with the words, "U. S. for him." Another cartoon was that of a Gorman daschund, with the words "His dog now, his goat next." The third train, which brought the largest number of men who pass through this city yesterday arrived last night at about 8:45. This train was composed of about 660 men from Stockton, which furnished over 200, and more than 100 from the rest of San Joaquin county. Tho remainder were from Napa, Sonoma, and' Eldorado counties. Those bojB like those of the other two trains seemed in good spirits and eager to got "a lick at the kai ser." These cars like those of tho other trains were covered with Blogans from the different companies, one quite conBlpicuous and rather sug gestive one being "Good Night, Kai ser." These boys as well as the oth ers had chalked expressions, wishing the kaiser In a good deal warmer clime than that of California. On this train as well as tho two earlier In tho day there was consid erable evidence that "California has not yet gone dry." Quite a largo crowd was at the station to see the trains pull In. NO EXTRA SESSION WILL BE CALLED SALEM, Or., Sept. 19. After fur ther investigation into tho advisabil ity of convening tho legislature in extraordinary session, Governor Withycotnbe today expressed the be lief that there will be no necessity of calling a special session to care for the dependents of men called into military or naval service. Tho governor recently wired Sena tor McNary to ascertain the progress made on the war insurance bill, and today was advised by telegraph that Senator McNary has conferred with tho sona to finance committee con cerning the war risk insurance bill.
