Short-Term Fish
License Favored
By Game Bureau
PORTLAND, July 12 (if) A proposal
to provide special short-term fishing
licenses for visitors, tourists and resi
dents was tentatively approved by the
state fish commission at a meeting
here Monday.
The suggestion was offered by Matt
Corrlgan. chairman, who said the
commission Is losing much revenue
because the state legislature has made
no provision for the short-term per
mits. "Thousands of tourists and
residents," Corrlgan said, "who never
have, a chance to fish except during
their vacation would be willing to
buy a special one week license, for
Instance, at a reduced price, but they
cannot afford to pay A3 for a yearly
license."
The commission agreed to recom
mend that the next legislature make
provision for the sale of the special
period licenses.
On petition of the Lakeylew cham
ber of commerce, Hugh Leyva, game
warden of Lake county, was author
ized to kill from three to 10 pellcanB
on Drews reservoir and to send the
birds to biologists to determine If
pelicans are detrimental to game fish.
The commission replied to H. B.
Howell, representing the governor's
relief council In Josephine county,
that It has no authority to issue a
permit allowing the use of nets to
catch salmon In Rogue river to be
canned and used later for relief of
the poor of the county.
Purchase of two additional fish
tanks and pumps for use In liberating
trout from the Oak Springs and Fall
River hatcheries was authorized al
though Commissioner Carl D. Silven
of Baker, protested that $350 for each
pump was too expensive.
Supreme Court
Denies Plea Of
Guardian Head
SALEM, July 12 VP) The state
supreme court today refused to quash
four Indictments against S. Moltzner,
president of the Guardian Building
and Loan association of Portland, In
an opinion handed down by Justice
Kelly. The Indictment charged
Moltzner with unlawfully loaning the
funds of a building and loan associa
tion without security.
Defendant appeal led from the In
dictments returned by a Multnomah
county grand Jury on the grounds
that Indictments were, not tried
within the next term of court as by
law provided. The opinion affirmed
the decree of Judge W. A. Ekwall.
A' writ of mandamus- proceedings
was denied Carl H. Johnson and C. A.
Degrace by the state supreme court
last night, in a similar case. The
petitioners asked their trial be post
poned until after an appeal from a
court order refusing to quash Indict
ments against them had been dis
posed of by the higher court. The
court., refused . to review the . appeal
from the lower court order.
The plaintiffs in the writ action
were Indicted recently by the Mult
nomah county grand Jury on charges
of devising a scheme to defraud
through sale of stock. Both are for
mer officers of the Prudential Sav
ings and Loan association.
Johnson and Degrace appealed from
a lower court order refusing to quash
their indictments on the grounds
they were not tried during the first
term of court' following the return
of Indictments. The members of the
supreme court concurred In refusing
the ;writ, but three separate opin
ions Were written, the main one by
Chief 'Justice Henry J. Bean.

California Vets
Fail in Effort To
. Camp On Lawn
WASHINGTON, July 12 Police
today balked an effort by California
war veterans to camp on the capitol
grounds until congress adjourns or
pays the soldiers bonus. !
Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent
of police, stopped a parade of 450
marchers at the entrance to the
grounds, ruling out the veterans
plans to put down their bed-rolls in
tho Bhadow of the dome.
Glasaford conferred with Roy W.
Robertson, leader of the group, after
which the vets assented to the police
proposal of taking thoir bedding back
to their camp In a truck.
Action of the police chief wan pre
dicted upon an edict by Vice Presi
dent Curtis, who ruled tho veterans
should not be allowed within the
grounds with their bedding and camp
kits.
Capitol police sold that a fow ex
tra men had been placed on duty be
cause of the parado.
To camp on the capitol grounds, It
was added, would be against tho law
The district law provides a fine and
Imprisonment for loitering on the
capitol grounds.
Scores of the veterans trod up the
hill to the capital, accompanied by
numbers of police.
They did not attempt to march m
military formation, but went in strag
gling groups.
- A petition urging Immediate pay
ment of the bonus was presented the
vice president by Robertson.
The vice president told Robertson
he would present the petition to the
senate, probably this afternoon. Cur
Jls advised him to get permission to
appear before a committee and seek
approval of a bill to authorlzo the
payment sought.
, After leaving the vice president's
office a similar petition was presented
to Speaker Garner's secretary.
Robertson said the delegation In
tended to sleep on the capitol grounds
and remain there until thero was
some action on their demands.

Lamb Movement Is
Toward California
CORVALLIS, July 12 ffl The
movement of western lambs during
tho past week has been toward Cali
fornia cities on the coast and to mid
western points from Idaho and ad
jacent territory, according- to a week-
I ly review of tho situation prepared by
tho federal bureau of agricultural
economics and Oregon State college.
Better finished small lambs and
later 75 to 05 pound stock has been
gathered up by Los Angeles and San
Francisco killers from Humboldt
county and Southern Oregon points.
Prices of $3.25 to (3.75 f. o. b. main
line points have generally been paid.
Range conditions over the lnter
mountnin regions are said to be very
good which will doubtless assuro
heavier lambs with a larger percen
tage In killer flesh. The demand for
feeder lambs Is practically absent
now, and practically no lambs have
been contracted for future delivery or
sold direct in Western Montana or
adjoining states, the review says.
TREATY NOT
ULTIMATUM
TO AMERICA
(Continued from Page One)
for elections I" ho exclaimed.
The primo minister asserted Laus
anno marked an essential Btcp to
ward world economic recovery and he
expressed tho hope the conference
had put an end to the uncertainties
from which business has suffered.
"Where would the world have been
without Lausanne?" he demanded.
So long as German reparations
lasted, the prime minister said, there
could be no complete economic re
covery. He ridiculed the Idea that It would
have been possible to put off settle
ment of tho reparations Issue until
next March.
Just before Mr. MacDonald started
his report to the house of commons
on tho negotiations which resulted
in scaling down Germany's payments
to three billion marks (approxi
mately $712,500,000), It was an
nounced by an official source that
there had been neither conversations
nor agreements between British and
American representatives regarding
any revision of war debts In connec
tion with the Lausanne treaty.
Consulted Americans
Before the house of commons yes
terday, the chancellor of the exche-,
quer, Neville Chamberlain, asserted
that before the "gentlemen's agree--ment"
was reached at Lausanne there
had been consultation with "repre
unntfitivpR of the United States." Un
Hold Their
der this "gentlemen's agreement" It
Is understood the Lausanne treaty
will be Inoperative unless the Europe
an nations obtain satisfactory reduc
tions of their debts to the United
States.
An authoritative spokesman de
clared Mr. Chamberlain made his
assertion in the heat of debate and
that It had been taken as Indicating
much more than he had Intended.
According to this explanation, the
debate yesterday started unexpected
ly as a result of Winston Churchill's
statement that the government had
blundered at Lausanne. The gov
ernment had Intended to set aside
today for a full dress debate on the
subject.
When Mr. Chamberlain arose to
answer, the authorized explanation
has it, he did not have time to choose
his words with the care he would
havo exercised In a formal Bpeech.
The authorised spokesman said the
United States had representatives at
Geneva and the British Lausanne
delegation met these representatives
and strolled about with them among
the hills and along the side of the
, lake. In these Informal contacts,- the
explainer continued, world problems
were discussed solely as a matter of
social Intercourse.
The position of the British govern
ment was said to be the same now
as It was a fortnight ago, when both
the British and French foreign offices
issued denials that a "gentlemen's
agreement" In reference to war debts
had been reached.
In his report to the house of com
mons today, Mr. MacDonald said he
understood perfectly well that "very
tender spots" were being touched by
the Lausanne agreement so far as
America is concerned.
Ho wanted to make it quite clear,
he said, that nobody had a right to
blame America for taking the atti
tude she has taken.
Referring to the so-called "gentle
men's agreement," Mr. MacDonald
said that Friday morning "at Laus
anne, In reply to a question by the
German chancellor whether he would
guarantee that a conference of powers
would follow If the settlement plan
failed, he publicly declared: "Cer
tainly, that's what would happen."
Otherwise, the prime minister ex
plained, It would be necessary to
return to the Young plan.
NOTHING SAID, SUMMON RAYS
WASHINGTON. July 12 (AO Sec
retary Stlmson reiterated emphatic
ally today that the United States had
said nothing to the participants in
the Lausanne reparations conference
concerning a passible revision of war
debts.
The secretary of state said that not
withstanding any statements made In
the BrltlBh parliament that conver
sations had been had with American
representatives abroad, no authorized
move had been made by United
States diplomats aboard to this end.

in the affair and that ono of these
is, known to authorities. His name
remained unrevealed. Tallman said
the other two men were strangers.
Kxpeet Startling Developments -The
prosecutor hinted that "start
ling development" would bo dis
closed within a few days.
Tallman said his Information was
that the stolen signatures wero to
bo taken out of Portland. The dis
trict attorney today had not deter
mined whether the signatures ever
existed. Their present location re
mains a mystery.
E. L. Getz, Corvallis business man
and reputedly a leader In the move
to consolidate University of Oregon
and Oregon State college Into one In
stitution on the Corvallis campus,
did not appear at the district at
torney's office Monday for interroga
tion, although officials said he had
promised to do so. He was questioned
Sunday about the case. Detectives
said he was not "under suspicion."
He Is reported to have told officials
Sunday that ho came to Portland
from Corvallis a couple of hours be
fore tho make-believe holdup, having
heard from an unlndlcated source
that an attempt was to bo made to
steal tho petitions. He said he
watched the building from a nearby
vantage spot but saw nothing bus-
ptclous.
Zorn, Hamate Interviewed
Detectives who conferred with
Zorn, president of tho Marlon coun
ty tax equalization league which
sponsored the consolidation and John
Rnmngo of Woodburn, member of tho
executive- committee of the organiza
tion, said tho two could shed no new
light on tho affair.
Sam Blocum was In charge of circu
lating the consolidation petitions. He
said Monday "there has been talk
that I was Involved In this plot and
that thero were not enough petitions
signed to place the Zorn-Mac P hereon
bill on the November ballot." He de
clared this was "malicious gossip and
unrounded rumor," ond argued that
more than enough signatures were
available and were duly certified and
presented to the secretary of Btate.
