Portland stands first in the list of
wheat-shTpping ports for the month of
February, according to statistics com
piled by llio Government. 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. HAXALEI HOLDS IP RATES

SHERIFF ASKS A
JURY TO DECIDE
Testimony Regarding Owner
ship of Erickson's Saloon
Is Sensational.
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 the demurrers tiled by
the attorneys for the THle Bank of

court on technical grounds, merely a
play for time. 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.

who is conducting a series of revival
services, met with a big surprise one

hardly knew what to think, but he
was certain of one thing the bottles
were not emptied by himself or by

fore decided that some one had per

barrass him.
After gathering up the bottles and
storing them away out of sight. Dr.

paper. At the first opportunity he
took occasion to relate the details of

cases the truth of what I claim, namely, that
my treatment is as certain to cure as it Is
that the patient engages my services and
follows my directions. My success is due
not alone to education, experience, skill and

them all my faculties are concentrated.
I have limited my specialty in practice to
