Foreign Relations Committee
v Fails to Ask President to
Attend Sessions.
OFFICIALS HAVE HUNCH
" Administration Headquarters Intim
ate tliat Executive Will Therefore
Get Away on Speaking Tour
at an Early Date
KBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 16. That
the seuate foreign relations commit
tee does not propose to have the
president Bittiug around as a sort of
steering committee for directing the
tee for discussion of the peace trea
ty fend Us adoption, is shown in the
fact that it is stated this morning
.that administration quarters have
received intimations that the exe
cutive will not he invited to appear
heforo the foreign relations commit
tee for discission of the peace trea
ty. A majority of the committee Is
apparently hostile to the suggestion,
believed 'to cmenate from tho exe
cutive orflces. that Mr. Wilson he
aslted to appear. It is also equally
apparent to the president's cIobo ad
visors that the chief executive will
not he honored by a visit from the
foreign relations committee as a
body to confer with him at the
hite House in regard to tne peace
treaty or the covenant of the league
of nations. Owing to the fact that
the fdvelgn relations committee feel
able to get along without Sir. Wil
son's hand at the helm during ses
sion of that body. It is given out to
day that possibly the president will
be able to get away on his Bpenklng
tour somewhat earlier than he had
anticipated.
10 GO 10 PORTLAND
IThe S. P. diner, inhabited by three
negroes, one of whom is suffering
from a nid case of smallpox, would
have been in Portland today had it
not been for the Portland authori
ties who refused to accept tho car,
consequently it stands in the -local
yards. Dr. Shoemaker, after con
sulting with Dr. Roberff, of the Btate
board of health, ordered the car sent
to the metropolis where greater con
veniences are available for the pa
tients, 3ut tho city authorities re
fused to allow the pest car within
tho city limits. The matter was
again taken up with Dr. Robert? and
the darkies will probably be taken
to Portland tonight -in their strictly
private car.
IDE WATER SYSTEM
Engineer C. J. Green, of Salem,
arrived in the city today to study
tho problem confronting the Water
and Lightl Company amd will of
fer suggestions which will probably
result In greatly increasing the ca
pacity of the present plant. Mr.
Green has inspected the Winchester
plant where the trouble is now be
ing experienced and this afternoon
held a conference with officials to
determine the course of action to be
pursueii. At this time the pump
ln capacity is exceedingly limited,
the centrifugal pumps being hooked
up in such a manner that their ef
ficiency Is decreased. Mr. Gcen will
attempt to rearrange the system so
that a greater volume of water will
be procurable.
Mailc.irricr Humphrey, of Wilbur,
today caused the arrest of a Cali
fornia tourist after the latter had
wrecked the wagon used to carry
the mall and had caused the team
to run away destroying the harness.
The tourist, it Is claimed, "hogged"
the road, frightening the horses
which wrecked the wagon. Mr.
Humphrey caused a complaint to be
sworn out and the tourist was ar
rested at Sutherlin. A settlement
"will probably 'be made out of court.

LEAGUE PENNANT RACE
NEAPING THE END
The Presbyterian team of the twi
light league, last night practically
clinched the pennant by defeating
the Christians in a closely matched
contest. The "Presides" have led
the league and with only a few more
games to play there is little chance
of their dropping out of first place.
Tho contest now lies between the
Baptists and Christians for second
place with the Baptists now holding
the position. The game last night
was witnessed by a large crowd and
was an especially good one the score
being 7 to 6 with the outcome In
doubt until the last moment.

liointed 1'iider Oregon Lung As A
Suite Industry and Will Continue
Its Business As At Present.
jCharlcs A. Brand today purchased
the entire interest, amounting to
something over $;ili,0t!0, of H. W.
Clark of North Adams. Mass., in the
overland Orchards and other prop
erty belonging to tho Overland Cmn-
jrnny In Douglas County. Mr. it rami
becomes president of the Company,
succeeding Mr. .Clark, and will man
age its business as before.
The Overland Fruit and Develop
ment Company, which was nn East
ern company, has been reorganized
as nn Oregon corporation under tho
naniof of the Overland Fruit Com
pany. When asked about the reor
ganization Mr. Brand stated that the
change would not affect the conduct
of the business in any way since the
Overland Fruit Company takes over
all the business and property or the
old company and assumes Its obliga
tions. It seemed advantageous In
many ways to bo an Oregon corpo
ration wince the business of the
Company is In Oregou.
The Overland Fruit Company owns
290 acres of land in Garden Valley
about 1 75 of which is In fruit,
rwenty-tive acres being the famous
Overland vineyard and tho rest ap
ples and pears. Mr. Brand reports
very heavy crops of apples and
grapes this year with Jlartlett and
Howell pears fair and other varieties
light. It took twenty-seven people
eight days to thin the apples In t hit
orchard this summer.
The Overland Company Is a bona
flde company. It is not a real estate
development proposition and it has
no land for sale. It has put Its
money into tho building up of a
great orchard when for years there
could be no returns because -it had
faith in the future of the fruit in
dustry in Douglas county. Now re
turns are beginning to come nnd it
is the prediction of The News that
tho company will find their invest
ment a mighty profitable one.

IMOI.'NT CLKMICNS, Mich., July 15
Henry Ford s libel suit against the
cnieauo Tribune took a decidedly In
teresting turn this morning when
attorneys for tho defense put the
millionaire automobile manuiucturur
through a grilling examination thut
revealed some startling situations
and a lack of appreciation in the
plain 1 1 1 f of historical facts, love of
music, or oven ability to write his
own pacifist literature, it developing
that money was able to buy very
much which Mr. Ford s progenl
tors had failed to impart. During
the course of the grilling Ford made
many frank admissions iu answer
ing questions propounded by tho Tri
bune s attorneys. Although proprie
tor of Ford's Weekly, to which he Is
giving much of his personal atten
tion, witness stated that moro than
ever ' h considered history mere
"bunk" and the outgrowth of tradi
tion. Ford admitted that he had
no personal use for the elevating in
fluences of music or other forms of
the finer urts. Speaking of militur-
j ism he reaffirmed his belief that all
I professional soldiers are murderers.
:nor would he exempt Cieneral Grant
! or Cieneral Pershing. Kegnrding a
standing army he said Unit he stood
for fullest preparedness unless the
league of nations could ho formed,
and alleged that It t Iris last war
does not result iu such a league fav
ors another grent war without delay
so that the situation will be cleared
up and the way paved for universal
peace forthe ages to come.
A startling feature came to light
relative to Mr. Ford's qualifications
as a writer, for which he has gain
ed considerable notoriety during the
time since he undertook his peace
pilgrimage to Europe prior to Am
erics s entrance to the war. It devel
oping that a publicity man, Theodore
Dejuavigne, wrote practicaly all of
tho automobile man's noted pacifist
literature which was scattered like
the leaves of autumn throughout the
United States nnd IS u rope. Much of
this "peace literature" was circulat
ed broadcast without Henry Ford
ever having read it, but he stated
that he accepted full responsibility
for the sentiment expressed therein.

"That no fisherman has the ox

the opinion given by Attorney-General
mown in a communication to

Tho quouUon aroso from a dispute
oetweeu two settlers on tho hanks
of thu Siuslaw.
"In the most recent controversy

Meanwhile a neighbor used the

his net -iu the water. This yuur ho

of tho adjoining properly removed
the net and claimed the right to
tish at this point was his exclu
sively. "Attorney-General . Brown in his
opinion says: "The beds of all wa

Mows and ull navigable waters
whether tidal or otherwise belongs
tlo the statu by virtue of its sover
eignty and such tit le extends to

abutting shore owners extends only
to high water mark. In unnavlgtbe
n In-tidal waters, however, the title
of the shore owner extends to the
thread of the stream and if he owns
the land on both sides of the stream
it follows that he owns the bod clear
across.
"All of the citizens of the state
have a common right of fishery in
all navigable waters of the state. It
follows that tho river at the places
in question is navigable or if the
tide ebbs and flow In that portion
of tho river, the shore owners have
no fishing rights below Irijfti water
mark other than those enjoyed by
ull citizens of the state; that Is, the
common right of fishing; but he has
no exclusive right to tho bed of the

high water mark. If, however. It is
above high water and the river Is
non-navigable, then tho abutting
land owner owns the land to thu

if his lands ahutt on both sides oi

be a trespasser If he should fasten
