FORFEIT ITS CLAIM
East Side Land Safe From
State.
SUIT WILL BE DROPPED
Proebstel Heirs, However, Are Still
Fighting Attempt to Register
Portion of Valuable Tract
Under Torrens Law.
Title to 140 acres of valuable land on the
East Side, claimed by the state, probably
will not be distrubed, as the result of
the recent application of D. G. Leitch,
owner of one of the lots, to register title
to his proberty under the Torrens land
act. When Leitch made this application,
the proceeding was resisted by Frederick,
Jacob and Julius Proebstel, heirs of the
original owner of the land. At the same
time Attorney-General Crawford, for the
state, Interposed a motion demanding that
Leitch make his application more aen
nite and certain. This being overruled.
the Attorney-General gave notice that he
w-ould institute escheat proceedings to
convert the entire property, of which the
Leitch lot was a part, to the state. But
from correspondence that has passed be
tween Attorney-General Crawford and H.
B. Nichols, attorney for Leitch, it Is
probable the state, after Investigating the
facta, abandoned its efforts to get posses
sion of the land for benefit of the state
school fund.
The land Involved in the pending contro-i-ersary
consists of the north half of the
Wendel Proebstel donation land claim. It
includes that part of the city west of
Union avenue, between Morris and Free
mont streets and extending nearly to the
Willamette River. This tract was sold
in 1879 at about $25 an acre. Aside from
improvements the land is now worth
about slo.000 an acre or an aggregate value
of over 2,000,000.
The Wandel Proebstel claim consisted
of 281.26 acres and is now cut into lots
and blocks and most of it is densely pop
ulated. Mr. Proebstel and his first wife,
Jane, settled on the land about 1853. Mrs.
Proebstel died in 1866 and her husband, in
1868, married Elizabeth Fry. The patent
was Issued August 20, 1871, granting to
Wendel the south half and to his deceased
wife the north half. They had no chil
dren, neither did the second wife. Proeb
stel died in 1874, leaving Elizabeth, his
second wife, surviving. In 1876 the state,
by H. Y. Thompson, Prosecuting Attorney
for this district, and George H. Durham
and W. W. Page, special attorneys,
'brought an action to have the, north half
escheated.
The first Mrs. Proebstel (Jane) was
an Irish woman, and correspondence
was then carried on with people in Ire
land. Papers were found among the
effects of Wendel Proebstel indicating
that Jane had a brother, Thomas Chap
man, and other relatives still living in
Ireland. Their depositions were taken
and state authorities were satisfied
that the heirs were genuine and the
escheat action was dismissed in No
vember, 1876. Partition suit was then
instituted between the heirs of Jane
Proebstel (Thomas Chapman and oth
ers). In that suit the land was sold
in parcels to different parties, Harvey
A. Hogue buying a large tract, includ
ing the Leitch lot. This sale was made
in 1879. C. W. Burrage, under appoint
ment as referee, conducted the sale and
distributed the proceeds. Judge Ra
leigh Scott represented some of the par
ties who were minors. Judge Catlln
and Benton Killin conducted the pro
ceedings. Counsel for Leitch contends that the
state has no valid claim to any of the
tract, since a former attempt to escheat
the property to the state was defeated
by the appearance of legal heirs, and
the paritlon and sale of the property
for their benefit, and fop the further
reason that Leitch and practically all
of the 1000 owners of property Included
in the tract can show 10 years' adverse
possession, which has been held by the
Supreme Court to be a good defense
against the state as well as a private
person. It is further contended by the
legal representatives of owners of the
land that the courts are not liable, after
a deliberate abandonment of the prop
erty by the state for more than SO
years, to undertake to dispossess 10.00
innocent purchasers of their homes.
In 1883, Mrs. Elizabeth Proebstel,
Wendel's second wife, commenced . an
action to recover the property, con
tending that her husband inherited it
from his first wife and that she (Eliza
beth) inherited it from Wendel. . Judge
Deady decided the case against her, and
10 years later, 1893, she deeded the
land to Frederick, Jacob and Julius
Proebstel, and it is on the title so con
veyed that these heirs are seeking to
regain possession of the premises. With
the state out of the contest, the con
troversy will revert to the validity of
tne claim or the three surviving heirs,
whb charge that the alleged Proebstel
heirs of 1875 practiced fraud in order
to secure the land.. It Is in this status
that the case is now pending in the
courts.
DAMROSCH AS A COMPOSER
Famous Conductor of the New York
Symphony Has Done Fine Work.
Walter Damrosch, who will bring his
splendid orchestra here June 3 and 4, has
had such a busy life as conductor, organ
izer and lecturer that his talent for com
position has not had much chance for
display. He has. however, composed some
fine things, among them being the opera
on Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" and a
beautiful Manila "te Deum," which he
wrote in honor of Dewey's victory. Then,
too. there is the tremendously popular
"Danny Deever." One of Damrosch's
friends tells the following story as illus
trative of the genius for composition and
for learning something from every sound
in nature, which Damrosch possesses.
"We were walking through the woods
one day when suddenly Walter seized my
arm with a 'hush,' as he pointed to a big
beetle droning away at our feet. I
wished to hear how its note would die
away.' he explained in answer to my look
of inquiry. One day the following Winter
he played for me the superb passage in
the "Scarlet Letter" where the 'cello mod
ulates in the chord of the seventh of the
descending scale from B minor to F
sharp minor, there is the beetle of our
walk last Summer, he said."
Damrosch and his fine orchestra will
give three orchestral concerts here at the
Armory. Wednesday evening, June 3, tand
Thursday afternoon and evening. June
4. under the direction .of Lois Steers

WANTS NO SEAVIEW SALOON
But Writer Thinks That Citizens
Would Welcome a '"Liquor House.'
SEAVIEW, Wash.. May 23. (To tha Edi
tor.) T-sfcM. Tuesday, The Oregon lvn printed &n
account of a protest asatnnt the proposed a
tabllshment of a aalooo btre. W. M. Ladd
and T. B. Wilcox ware mentioned as conduct
ing' the fight.
Persons of each great wealth as those named
are putting themselves In the wrong position
by their attitude in this matter. Of course,
they do not care a straw if taxes axe hlgn
and the city in need of more revenue.
They can afford to pay high taxes and are
not particularly anxious to see their1 property
lncresse in value, for they do not care to sell.
The trouble Is. they fail to consider the fact
that everyone who owns property here Is not
so "well fixed:' ttiat some of us want to see
the city advance and cannot afford to pay high
taxes; and that we are not wealthy enough to
close our city to a man who will undoubtedly
bring more people here than have ever come
before. Their view Is a selfish one. They
wifh to be "exclusive" but fall to figure the
cost of their course to others. ,
Knowing the people of Seavlew as 1 do. I
feel sure that they would never allow a dis
orderly saloon to do business here, but that
they would welcome a properly conducted
liquor-house.
Mr. Ladd and Mr. Wilcox no doubt have the
beet of intentions, but they are now meddling
is other people's business.
JAMT3S CANTAWINE.
NEED OF NATIONAL GUARD
COLONEI- JACKSON SPEAKS FOR
ARMORY BILL.
Declares That Financial Support for
the Militia Is Duty of Every
American Citizen.
Need of an efficient and adequate
trained soldiery lor use in case of pos
sible international complications is the
strongest argument for the Army appro
priation bill to come before the voters
June 2, in the opinion of Colonel James
Jackson, U. S. A., retired. Colonel Jack
son has made the following statement in
support of the measure:
The National Guardsmen of this atate
feel that they are entitled to armories for
the care and protection of the arms and
equipment furnished, by the general Gov
ernment, and bought by the state, and to
provide a place for the drill and instruc
tion in the military art of the men "liable
to military duty," who volunteer to pre
pare themselves to defend, successfully-, the
people of the state and the Nation., An old
Congressional enactment, carrying out a
provision of the Constitution, made it in
cumbent upon every man liable to military
duty to provide himself with a weapon and
ammunition for it, and to undergo a cer
tain amount of training, and that la the
theory of thle Government, that every elec
tor, not exempt is a member of the. Na
tional Army and should fit himself to 'fight
its battles as well aa to vote for its laws
and lawgivers. The militia act of 1903 re
pealed this law which had fallen into des
uetude and adopted the National Guard of
the atates as a part of the military system
of the country, to be supported, partly
by. the states and partly by the Nation,
but it does not lessen the obligation of the
elector to support, in soma way, tha mili
tary part of his Government.
The number of men liable to military
duty has so increased that it is no longer
advantageous to call them all to tha stand
ard, ao the policy of the state and the Na
tion has been to provide for such volun
teers as would agree to take the training
required and to equip them with the nec
essary war material, provide places for ite
storage and for the training of these volun
teers, who are simply doing what every
non-exempt elector should do. The other
electors are thus saved the time and sacri
fice which the volunteers are willing to
spend and make, and It la Incumbent upon
them to support and sustain, to the extent
of their ability, those who are doing their
work. There are about 100,000 men liable
to military duty in this state. Less than
200G of theae men are talcing military train
ing, it la very little to asK of the other
9&.O00 that they give adequate support to
the 1200 or 1600 men who are practically
their substitutes. if they paid for these
substitutes at the rates paid during the
Civil War, the substitutes would be able
to build their own armories.
The National Guard is now a National
force, and its principal object Is National
defense. It la also a state force to quell
riot and preserve order. Objection has
been made to the National Guard by some
persona illy posted, that Its principal use
was to Interpose between labor and the cor
porations. This la not now. and In fact,
never was true.
As the right arm of the Executive the
militia may be used, under very carefully
guarded regulations, to quell riot and main
tain order, when, and only whan, the con
stabulary la unequal to the task. To oppose
the- militia and ite proper support, be
cause it may have to do this. Is to adver
tise one's self as against the reign of or
der and tn favor of l&wlessnea. In other
words, to be a full-fledged anarchist. To such
no argument can be addressed, for civiliza
tion depends upon the reign of law and or
der, and cannot exist without ite enforce
ment. Anything else la barbarism, and the
anarchist Is alwaya an incipient barbarian.
There are many good and Intelligent peo
ple who really believe that If thla country
should be attacked the patriotic people
"would rise in their might and drive the
Invader hence." Very good aentiment and
patriotic poetry, hut the practical patriot
is liable to ask what they would d-o It with.
Their hands and feet? Possibly; they cer
tainly would not have much else If many
of them "rise up." for the number of arms
fit to light a modern army with Is very
limited in this country, and It takes time
to make them. It would take six months,
with every factory In full blast. o arm
and equip an army of 25.000 volunteers.
In the meantime, what would the enemy
be doing with the handful of regulars and
trained militia about 100.000 combatants
altogether, and very much less at any given
point. If this country is ever invaded it
will be by a large and. well-trained force
the best troops in the world. To put raw
levies against such troops would be murder,
and reeult disastrously. It would be a very
expensive blunder.
It is singular how persistent Is the Idea
that anybody with a gun will make a sol
dier, equal to any emergency, when there
it not a line In history to warrant such an
opinion; in every Instance where raw levies
have been pitted against regular or ex
perienced troops, they have run away after
a mere pretense at lighting. If you don't
believe It. study your history. The greatest
number of trained troops that could be
put Into the field, in an emergency, would
be less than 100,000 men. What a pitiful
army to defend an immense, rich and pop
ulous country like the United States of
America, from humiliating defeat and in
calculable loss. The Nation needs a thor
oughly equipped and trained Army of at
leaat 230,000 National guardsmen. This,
with the standing army or 100,000 men,
would give the country reasonable security
until a volunteer army could be prepared.
We have plenty of patriotic men. but a
very limited amount of war material.
A wise electorate, in a people's country,
which they expect the people to defend,
would see to It that a sufficient number of
the men liable to military duty to make a
secure "equation of safety." received a
thorough military training, and provide for
them freely and cheerfully . a matter of
Insurance and National pride. Armories
pre en Incentive to young men, especially
In suburban towns, to take upon themselves
the Instruction and training to fit them
for the whole duty of an American citizen,
and are distinctly and unauestfonablv In
the Interest of mental, moral and physical
culture, and of the best qualities of a re
sponsible elector and a patriotic citizen.
Give us armories, and we who offer to
shed our hlood in your defense, when neces
sary to protect your homes and possessions,
will turn you out better men and better
citizens, will give the Nation better securl
tv against the predatory military powers
of the world, a higher and more Influential
standing among the nations, and all In the
lntereste of peace, for the strong man armed
la seldom molested, and his word is law.
This appropriation 1s particularly In the
Interest of laboring men. They are seeking
to exclude cheap labor from this country,
and an exclusion act entirely In their
Interest. Is now before Congress for enact
ment. This law will Inevitably produce
International friction and perhaps war. It
is to their especial interest to see to It
that the Nation la fully prepared to de
fend the operation of this law and to pro
tect them from the hordes of Orientals who
would overrun this land If we fail to make
good against Oriental opposition.
There are many other arguments in favor
of armories, and of a large and well-equipped
force of citfsen soldiery, that snare for
bids u to use. Tet patriotism end wie
statesmanship, and not penurlousness. guide
you In voting on the armory appropriation.

BT ARTHUR A. GREENE.
IT HAD been many weeks since I had
had the satisfaction of watching a
performance by the Baker company
which completely satisfied the demands
of the play, until yesterday afternoon,
when that organization presented "Why
Smith Left Home." The fact is, the
stock company has not excelled yester
day's efforts during the present season,
and that's considerable of a statement.
It is rarely, Indeed, that four members
of a cast, each playing character parts,
are able Individually to make their char
acterizations features of a performance.
It is seldom given to four actors to divide
honors so evenly. It must be understood
that the character parts are those which
make "Why Smith Left Home" one of
the most diverting farces one could wish
to see.
These four big parte. Lav in a. the cook
lady; General Billetdoux, Count von Gug
genheim and Miss Smith, the ardent spin
ister, were played by Mina Crolius Glea
son, Donald Bowles, James Gleason and
Gertrude Rivers, respectively, as if they
had been selected after a competitive ex
amination. Their interpretations were
as nearly flawless as it is well for any
body to give, unless he wants to work
himself to death studying detail. How
they did it In less than a week is one of
those mysteries of dramatic stock. It la
difficult to shade any considerable degree
of difference In their work, although Mrs.
Gleason would probably be given the first
prize if they were entered in a compe
tition. Donald Bowles would probably
take second money, while Miss Rivers
and "Jimmy" Gleason would have to cut
the cards for next honors.
In addition to the quartet named, those
whose work may be safely described as
brilliant, Howard Russell, as the young
bridegroom, with many troubles, and
Marl be 1 Seymour, as the "touching" maid,
were capital ; George Alison and Miss
Jewel were satisfactory and William Glea
son and Louise Kent pleased their
audience in their respective- parts. The
settings are "Very pretty and the ladles
dress their parts well. There is a laugh
almost every minute during the progress
of the show and as a oussipator of sorrow
I feel perfectly safe in recommending
"Why Smith Left Home" to all theater
goers There will be the usual per
formances during the week.
Musical Comedy at the
Star Theater '
WITH half the programme vaudeville
and the other half vaudeville, with
a sprinkling of what is printed as
a musical farce, patrons of the Star
Theater yesterday at a matinee and two
evening shows ought to have felt satisfied
with the investment necessary to pass
the doorkeepers. Whether they were sat
isfied with the various entertainments
probably can be determined by the re
ception given the company.
Most If not all the vaudeville acts
"got a hand." and the farce gave the
Armstrongs and the chorus a chance to
raise a laugh. There is little connec
tion between the slnsin-j parts and the
farce, the former being introduced at
random. Pair audiences attended the
performances.
Today the vaudeville numbers will
change to Wilfred and Lottie, equilibrists,
and a sketch by Raechel Acton, Kolville
& Company entitled "The Nightingale."
The musical farce, "Sweethearts and
Wives," with one- scene in the home of
Patrick 'Summers and the other in a po
lice station, will continue throueh the
week. Ethel Davis. Magdaline Holly and
Kuny Mcintyre contribute the solo num.
