RICHER CITED Of
ITEMPT
Court Aroused .by Rumored In
difference to Beavert Island
Injunction.
J. B. SWITZLER COMPLAINS
Portland Man, Given Right to Tract,
Saya Earnliarts, Disregarding
Writ, Ara Catting Alfalfa on
Land in Columbia.
Being informed yesterday of the action of
F. E. Earnhart. a Umatilla County ranch
man, in deliberately entering upon land
on Dave Beavert Island in violation of a
permanent injunction issued by him.
Judge Charles E. Wolverton issued an
order directing F. E. Earnhart and Frank
Earnhart to appear In the United States
Court and- explain the matter in a satis
factory manner or suffer the conse
quences. '
The men will have to appearon July 5,
when the case is set for hearitg.- It ia
. thought probable that the Earntarts have
taken this method of securing possession
of the lands, through a determination to
make a stand for rights which thoy
claim to have secured against John B.
Switzler. of Portland, dec'ared by the
court to be the owner of the best right
to the land.
Island Unsurveyd Tract.
Beavert iBland Is an unsurveyed tract
in the Columbia Rive', about 40 miles
from Pendleton, and has been in the
hands of squatters for a number of years.
In 1893 Switzler purchased the rights
of Beavert. who- thn Inhabited the isl
and, and leased the place to J. E. Halter,
the owner of the property taking up his
residence in this city. Switzler had
placed stock animals and farming imple
ments on the pjace and owned a well
furnished house
Switzler says that in 1909 Halter en
tered into a conspiracy with Earnhart
' whereby Halur was to be ejected from
the land and Earnhart take possession.
After establishing himself on the island.
Earnhart sd - that Switzler had aban
doned his fquatter's right by removing
his residence from the land.
Switzler Is Recognized.
The caoeo came to the United States
Court 1 October of last year, and
through Earnhart's failure to answer the
complaint within the time allowed under
' the rules of the court, a decree was en
tered which recognized the ownership of
the property to be in Switzler, and per
manently enjoined Earnhart from inter
fering with the island.
Svitzler says that the Earnharts have
aiya.n taken possession of the property,
are cutting the alfalfa fields, with his
tools, and have made threats against his
life, if he interfered with them. The
value of the lands and nersonal nroiwrtv
involved is fixed at $4000.
IMMIGRATION LAW GETS BLOW
Judge Wolverton Holds Naturaliza
tion Act Unconstitutional.
Congressional legislation of June 29,
1906, relative to immigration laws, was
yesterday held to be unconstitutional by
Judge Wolverton, in the United States
Court. The act was intended to give the
Federal courts the right to cancel certi
ficates of naturalization which might
have been obtained through fraudulent
representations, or which were granted
through error of the court. The court
held the act to be retroactive, and an ap
peal will be taken by the Department of
Commerce and Labor, which was Instru
mental in having the law enacted.
The decision was the- result of- an at
tempt by the Immigration officers to
cause the cancelation of naturalization
papers, issued in 11)02 to Helmer Aakervik,
a Norwegian, who admitted that he had
not been in the United States for four
and one-half years prior to that time.
Aakervik emigrated to America in 1889,
coming directly from the port of New
York to Oregon.. He obtained employ
ment in Portland, and in 1893 made dec
laration of his intention to become a
citizen of the United States. Later in
that year he was called to Norway
through the illness of his wife, and,
knowing of the panic in the United
States, Aakervik remained in his native
country.
In 1898, Aakervik had accumulated suffi
cient funds and forought his family to
Oregon, and afterward appeared in court
and claimed his home to have been in
America during-all of the Ave years that
he was in Norway. Upon that showing,
the court ordered his final papers issued,
notwithstanding the reading of the law
which requires that the applicant shall
have continuously resided in Oregon dur
ing each of the five years prior to the
hearing. -
Judge Wolverton held the decision of
the court which issued the papers to have
been an error, but that the Government
failed to exercise its right of appeal and,
for that reason, was at this time barred
from attacking a vested and valuable
right
Should the Supreme Court sustain Judge
Wolverton, the effect will be to require
immigration officials to make a thorough
investigation of the qualifications of every
applicant for naturalization prior to his
being declared a citizen of the United
States.
PHOXE COMPANY IS INSOLVENT
Receiver Named for Long-Distance
Branch of Home Concern.
The Northwestern Long - Distance
Telephone Company in Oregon, han
dling the long-distance business of the
Home Telephone Company, 'was yes
terday declared insolvent In the United
States Court, and Judge. C. E. Wolver
ton appointed W. p. Tyler, of Tacoma,
receiver for the Oregon business. Mr.
Tyler has the Washington business of
the company in his hands, through an
appointment by Judge Hanford.
The Home Telephone Company was
the petitioner which appeared before
the court, and claims to have equipped
the lines of the long-distance concern,
for which the Home Company holds its
notes for more than $55,000, secured by
bonds. The outstanding bonds of the.
long-distance company amount to $1,
300,000. It is said that there are many
other large creditors who were willing
thai the business should pass into the
control of the petitioners.
- Business over the long-distance wires
of the Home Company will not be in
any manner interfered with by the ap
pointment of the receiver, and it is be
lieved that the move amounts only to
an adjustment of affairs of the Home
Company. It is admitted that the bonds
of the long-distance company are large
ly in the hands of owners of the Home
Company.
0 Raymond Gets $80,000 Hotel.
RAYMOND. Wash., June 20. Special.)
CO
CHARGE
Hotel accommodations are always at a
premium here. That & nev hotel is
needed in Raymond was made manifest
by the fact the-t during the recent con
vention of the Southern Washington De
velopment Association the hospital, all
the boarding and even private houses had
to be used to care for the visitors. Messrs.
Creech and Brown have decided to erect
an $80,000 concrete hotel. The site of the
new hotel will 'be Third and ' Duryea
streets, which is in the heart of the busi
ness district.
Fua at Lyric Has Japanese
Scenes and Motif
Geisha Girls Vie With Comedians la
Providing Entrrtalnment,
IF you are not too cynical, you may
laxigh heartily at some parts of the
performance of "A Night in Tokio," at
the Lyric Theater this week. During
other portions you may go to sleep or
forget it. To do either, however, would
be difficult with a full chorus singing a
rollicking song about every two minutes.
There is nothing especially notable
about this hitherto unheard-of musical
comedy. It all might be said to come up
to the usual Lyric standard, with the
usual quota of Jokes, songs and tne like,
full of life and action from the start.
There is no curtain until the eno, which
helps some. j
The musical numbers and dialogue are
all centered around the adventures of
two American millionaires. Messrs. Giab
owsky and Murphy, in Tokio. There are
plenty of Geisha girls, becomingly cos
tumed, at least according to the Ameri
can idea. To carry out this Idea, they
proceed to drug Murphy and take his
roll, but when the same practice is . at
tempted on Grabowsky, the fun com
mences. The roll is held back by a
piece of rubber, which when pulled
awakens him.
The piece will run all this week.
LAY CHURCH CORNERSTONE
Many Pastors Participate in Exer
cises at Kelly Memorial Structure.
The cornerstone of the Clinton Kelly
Memorial Methodist Church, on Powell
between East Fortieth and East Forty
first streets, was laid Sunday afternoon
with appropriate services. Rev. W. B.
Hollingshead, district superintendent,
presided, and he was - assisted in the
services by Rev. W. H. Hampton, Rev.
W. T. Euster, Rev. Clarence True Wil
son and other pastors. Rev. Mr. Wilson
delivered the principal address. After
speaking of the value of churches to a
community he said:
"This new church bears an honorable
name, mat or 'atner Clinton Kelly, a
man who helped lay the foundation of
Methodism in this county .long before
you and I came and before many of us
were born. It is fitting that the chu,rch
should be a memorial to his name, for he
left ever-widening influence on this
community. The stories we have re
ceived show that 'Father Kelly was not
only a man of deep piety, but was a man
of great mind and force and a philoso
pher as well. I was told by Dr. I. D.
Driver, known as a man of great ability,
that he considered "Father' Kelly one of
the ablest original men he had ever
known. I am glad that the church will
bear his name, as the school near here
was named after him because of his in
terest in educational matters."
Following the address the cornerstone
was laid by Rev. Mr. Hollingshead, as
sisted by the other pastors and the con
tractor. A copper box containing the rec
ords of the new church, names of the
district superintendent. Rev. W. B. Hol
lingshead, Bishop Charles W. Smith, the
Boys' Brigade and several other articles.
The box-was. then sealed and placed in
the cornerstone.
J. B. Kelly, a grandson of "Father"
Clinton Kelly, who gave the ground for
the church, spoke briefly, telling of the
start of the Kelly Memorial Church
services being held first in a grove, then
in a tent and then in a chapel. Sub
scriptions were received to a consider
able amount toward the erection of the
building. The foundation and basement
are completed. The cost of the new
church is estimated at $8000.

Stands at 501-4.
Oregon voters have not yet decided
to give the women a right to vote.
Several women, however, appeared at
the registration counter -In County
Clerk Fields' office yesterday and de
sired to register. They Baid they didn't
expect to vote at the primaries or the
general election in June, but they
thought they had to register in order
to vote at the school election. A num
ber also applied at the registration
booth at the Courthouse to cast their
votes for one or the other of the can
didates of yesterday's election.
Naturalized citizens are the ones,
however, who most of all try the pa
tience of the registration clerks. The
law requires that they exhibit their
citizenship papers. Some do this, but
others have "forgotten them" and ap
pear very much insulted when told
they cannot register without them.
Some bring United States land patents
and exhibit them to the clerks as evi
dence that they are 'citizens. Others
bring ' old army discharges, and even
tax receipts and old notices of change
of residence from one precinct to an
other, issued in former years.
This year's registration now stands
at 6014. A. force of Mr. Fields" deputies
is busy each night entering the ad
dresses of these voters from the cards
in the registration books, as the clerks
at the registration counter haven't
time during the day to do this. Five
hundred and thirty-one voters regis
tered yesterday, of whom 424 were
Republicans and 62 Democrats. On the
same day in 190S 263 registered.
