Tne strange diaappearance of

appearance in an alleged altered state
in the bands of Karl Johnson, of Clad
tone, of Gladstone, lead Saturday to
the bindinf over of Johnson for an
Investigation before the grand Jury
in Portland.
Johnson was bound over by Muni
cipal Judge Stevenson after ha had
been haled Into court on complaint
of Sarah Poley.
Gt Title.
According to tht complaint John-
ton made an attempt to obtain title
to two blocks of property in Glad
atone, really owned by Mr, oley.
The Foley side of the story is this:
A year ago F. F. Brando, of Port
laad, paid $1312 for the Gladstone
property when it was sold by the sber
iff. One year had to elapse before he
could acquire a deed to it. Before
the expiration of a year Brandos
transferred hit righu to Mrs. Foley
When the year was up, a represent
ed re of Mr. Poley appeared at fcher
iff Wilson's office and demanded the
deed. He could not produce the on
final sheriffs certificate of sale and
Wilson refused to act The certifi
cate bad disappeared and no one knew
where it bad pone, the sheriff was
toll
Enter Johnson
A few days later Johnson entered
the office. lie produced the original
certificate. But instead of being
made out to Brande it was made out
to Johnson. Because of seeming ir
regularities in the resurrected cer
tificate the sheriff again refused to
produce a deed.
The matter remained in that state
until the Poleys questioned Johnson's
claim by bringing action in the Port
land courts on the ground that John
son had illegally obtained possession
of the certificate and that he had at
tempted to back op his claim by mak
ing changes in the certificate.

WORK OF RELIEF
WASHINGTON. March 24 Rrand
Wbltlock, American minister to Del-
glum, has been withdrawn and any
participation of this government in
Belgium relief work is at an end.
This was anounced In a sharp offi
cial statement today which pointedly
mentioned the sinking of Belgium re
lief ships, despite Germany's pledge
that they would be given safe passage.
Short Words.
The statement also revealed that
Whltlock has been denied the privi
lege of communicating with the state
department, even In plain language..
A protest by this government
against the sinking of ships, trans
mitted to Germany through Spain, was
not answered.
"The German government's observ
ance of Its other undertakings has
not been such that the deportment
would feel warranted In accepting re
sponsibility for leaving these Ameri
can citizens (Belgian relief workers)
in German occupied territory," the
statement declares.
Relief Work Hampered.
The American workers have been
ordered to quit that country and the
Netherlands government has agreed to
send in workers to fill their places.
Whltlock has officially and unoffi
cially done much to keep the work of
mercv eolne. Chairman Hoover of
the rcli'jf commission has struggled to
have America keep up the task. But
the step was taken today because the
task has become Impossible and like
wise because, with real war just
ahead, the government felt the pro
tection of Its workers must be accom
plished, and affairs put in hands that
may be able to prevail upon Germany
to stop her attacks on the relief ships.

moves by Ihe new government lead-

First Is tho plan of Minister of Jus-1
tlcn Kerensky for "Int trnatlonullza-
tlon of Constantinople," Keronsky
agrees emphatically with President
Wilson's dlctiim as to free outlets to
the sea and with his plun for neutral
ization of such outlets. His friends,
however, say Kerensky's plans went
farther than this and contemplated
retention of the Dardanelles and Con
stantinople by tho Turks.
Second of tho moves wns a scrli'B
of possible negotiations with tho Hub j
gars reported In prospect today. Hul-
garla's people are closer than uny
others to RuhbIu; more sympathetic
with their alms. It Is hulluvcd, they
