REAL ESTATE HEN

First Gun Fired in Fight by
Realty Board Against Un
scrupulous Dealers.
THREE REQUESTS HELD UP
Spokesman for Association Approves
Extended Inquiry, Saying Ob

"ot Vindictive.
The opening sun of a fight by the
Realty Board airainsT unscrupulous real
estate dealers was fired yesterday at
a meetlr.R of the license committee of
the City Council, when a committee of
the license committee of the board con
tested the granting of realty licenses
to three dealers who- are allesed to
have been interested in shady transac
tions in the past.
The board committee comprised H.
K. Shellaby, E. F. Canno and F. U

at which all sides interested will be

"We are not here to persecute any

Board committee, "but we are here to
protect the real estate business. V e do

tect the public. When a man Is
in v.ave been engaged in crook
edness he should not be allowed to
transact business. We propose to help
th. ,-itv rt r'd of persons who should
not be ia the real estate business. We
want everyone to be heard ana inere
fore we are not urging the Council
.minu m take any hasty action.
The granting of the licenses to the
three dealers named was nei up j
the committee until the hearins next
Tuesday.
The Ucer.se committee of the Council,
after considering a petition of Coun
cil Crest amusement park to be allowed
to maintain private dancing at that
resort, agreed to recommend to the
Council the granting of the privilege
provided the dances were to be of a
strictly Invitational and private nature.
The committee refused to consider al
lowing any public dancing at this or
other resorts.
DALY PLAN NOT LEGAL
Council Cannot Delegate Its Priv
ileges to Commission.
An opinion rendered yesterday by
City Attorney Grant to the effect that
the City Council has no authority to
create a commission to regulate public
aervice corporations will result in the
City Attorney being requested by Coun
cilman Daly to draft an initiative meas
ure providing for the creation of such
a commission by charter amendment by
the people.
The opinion of the City Attorney was
given In relation to a proposed ordi
nance introduced by Councilman Daly
providing for the creation of a. com
mission with power to regulate all public-service
companies. Attorney Grant
says the power to regulate is vested In
the City Council and under the terms
of the city charter that power cannot
be delegated to any other body. He
says that the only possible way of cre
ating such a commission is by amend
ing the chaiter.
The opinion was read by the Judiciary
committee of the Council yesterday and
action on the Daly proposed ordinance
was indeterminately postponed. Coun
cilman Daly was authorized by the
committee to request the City Attorney
to prepare the measure for presentation
to the City Council at a special meet
ing Monday, at which other proposed
initiative measures will be considered.
This action will bring to a head a
long investigation which Mr. Daly and
other members of the Council have
been conducting. The purpose has been
to devise ways and means of bringing
the questions of proper regulation of
the streetcar, electric light, gas and
telephone companies and other organ
isations doing business under fran
chises granted by the city before a
few officials who would have the power
to act. Attempts on the part of Coun
cilman Daly and others to get the
Council to make regulations have been
of no avail until recently, when the
Council passed ordinances establishing
a reduced fare for passengers required
to stand in streetcars, reducing the
minimum gas and electric charge and
requiring owl cars.
Councilman Daly says he believes
the regulation of these companies
should be placed In the hands of ti
commission the same as certain other
departments of the city business, and
for that reason he announces his in
tention of putting the proposition up
to the people direct. While the proposed
initiative measure is being prepared
the legislative act which i sub
jected to the referendum will be ex
amined to see that the two measures
do not conflict. ,

5-to-4 Score.
FELLER PLAYS STAR ROLE
Templeton Delays Game Posing for
Photograph Campbell Hits for
Home Run, While Parrish
Runs and Prays.
Nine members of the Realty Board
closed a very Important deal yesterday
afternoon and evening, when they got
the better of several astute people as
sociated with the Ad Club. The strug
gle was for a "lot" of honor, and
victory in this battle of th commercial
Giants which took place on the Mult
nomah field only went to the Realty
bovs in the seventh and final innings,
after fortune had fluctuated like the
market on Wall street. In other words
the Ad Club baseball nine were de
feated by the Realtyteam by five runs
to four, in the third game of the series,
each side having taken one of the
previous matches.
Play was scheduler to sian ai
o'clock. Half an hour later anxious
calls were being precipitated toward
the clubhouse for various members to
hurry out and be snapped. At 6:30 P.
M. the game -was still in progress, in
fact 1t was then at the height of its
excitement. Therefore it is by no
means difficult for those who can read
between the lines to discover that it
was a protracted affair.
Realty men took the lead in the nrst.
a signal by Reed starting the work.
The same player stole two bases and
got home on -what a sarcastic memDer
deemed a "nice sacrifice, and what was
really a very bad throw to first by
Catcher Campbell.
No Trace of Errors Seen.
Before the first half of the first In
ning was over the scorer confided to
the crowd of three on the bench that
he could not keep track of the errors,
and his remark could be taken as a
fair comment on the play In general.
A fine chance of scoring another run
by the Realty -bunch was lost through
the failure of a player bearing across
his manly bosom the words Spirit Lake.
Had he slid Instead of walking into
the arms of Feller, of whom more anon,
his team would not have had such
anxiety later on in the game.
Proceedings were delayed by Pitcher
Templeton. who vowed he could not
proceed tU he had got the right
signal, with the result that a clamor
arose to make the game five innings,
as some fellows, being married, had to
reach home that night.
"Lout noil," Is Cry.
However, the Ad Club was not to be
denied, for they put over three runs.
Campbell hit a homer over first base
and trotted around while the players
were appealing that It was a lost ball.
Then Templeton's hit brought home
Moore and Idleman. Just previously
Louey had fallen at the plate with
Feller on top of him. When he was
able to arise he straightway announced
his decision to go home, as he was no
advocate of the steam roller.
So the game ambled along until In
the fifth, when Dr. Parrlsh emulated
Billy Sunday as he caught his second
fly out in the country. His prayer was
heard all over the field, and though
not exactly the same as- that of the
famous preacher It was near enough.
In the sixth the Realty men tied the
score, but then Campbell again put the
Ad Club one up by stealing second
and third and reaching home on an
error by Feller at the plate. Then in
the seventh the land merchants came

FORGERY CHARGE DIM1SSED
Trouble Over Patent Is Threshed
Out iu Court.
Forgery of an assignment of patent,
carrying a face value of $99,998. was
charged against C. E. Christensen, a
clerk in the City Free Employment
Bureau, in a hearing in Municipal
Court yesterday, in which the charge
was dismissed?- The complainant is
Orlin Potter, inventor of the device, a
logging apparatus, over which the con
tention arises.
Potter .charges that he rested in
the belief that the patent secured by
him was in his own name, till re
cently, when he wrote to the Patent
Office regarding it. and was informed
that the bureau held an assignment
made by him to the Climber Machinery
Company.
The patentee sent for the assign
ment, and upon examining it, repudi
ated the signature. Sidney Gordon, an
attorney, who purported to have
signed the document as witness and
notary, also repudiated his signature
In both capacities.
Christensen, secretary of the com
pany, was also a signer of the docu
ment, and suspicion pointed to him as
the fabricator of the forgery. He
made defenses yesterday that Potter
had signed the document, and offered
collateral proof of negotiations leading
up to the assignment of the patent.
Potter admitted that he had entered
into an agreement to turn over his
patent to the company, of which he
was president and in which he held
over two-thirds of the shares. He de
nied, how-ever, that the instrument had
been issued. He said the company
really was himself, and that he had al
lowed It to lapse, together with the
agreement made in its favor.
The assignment alleged to be forged,
was made in 1910 and had been In the
files of the Patent Office since then.
Gordon, who acted as notary, was not
called to testify, but the state offered
to prove by him that he never had
affixed his jurat to the instrument.
They also offered to prove by Attorney
Walter Hayes, that Christensen had
remarked that he had an assignment
of tho patent, but that Potter did not
know it yet.
The patent is said -to be a very
valuable one, and machines made under
It are In general use in logging opera
tions In the Northwest.
Because of an apparent civil phase
to the case, the court refused to hold
Christensen to the grand Jury, despite
the repudiation of the signatures by
Potter and Gordon and the corroborat
ing admission offered through Attorney
Hayes.

years old, formerly of Vancouver, B. C,
was found by Pearl Hathaway today.
Badly startled, Hathaway reported his

Harvest Hands Scarce at Monroe.
MONROE. Or., Aug. 22. (Special.)
There is a great scarcity of harvest
hands in this vicinity, and farmers are
finding it almost impossible to get their
grain taken care of in time to preserve
it, although good wages are offered.
Many fields have not been cut yet, and
a large portion of that which has been
cut is still In the shock. Considerable
anxiety is felt as to the result should
rain fall again within the next two or
three weeks.

tic at Fort Stevens Real War
Conditions Prevail.
FORT STEVENS, Or., Aug. 22. (Spe
cial.) The greatest artillery maneu
vers in the history of Oregon are now
taking place at Fort Stevens under
the general direction of Colonel Ste
vens, who Is an acknowledged .artillery
expert of exceptional ability. Acting
under his supervision are some of the
most efficient Regular Army officers
in the United States Coast Artillery
Corps.
CaDtain Collins, now instructor of
Oregon State Coast Defense, is one of
the leading exponents of modern ar
tillery. Captain Casey, present instruc
tor of the California State Artillery,
has made a special trip to Fort Ste
vens to assist in the maneuvers. Three
officers, recently graduated from the
Artillery School, Fort Monroe, are also
present as instructors. All the post of
ficers, Captain Page, ,'Captain Turtle,
Lieutenant Applin, Lieutenant Norton,
Lieutenant Ford, Lieutenant Nether
wood and Lieutenant Sperry, are simi
larly engaged.Non-commissloned offi
cers, cooks and others have been select
ed from the various regular organiza
tions to act In a similar capacity.
Regulars Praise Volunteers.
The first 24 hours of the Instruction
period have elapsed with at least nine
hours devoted to rapid fire instruction
work. The comment of the regulars la
most favorable. They express them
selves as agreeably surprised at the
proficiency manifested by the volun
teers. Colonel Stevens plans to have sub
caliber practice with the visiting artil
lery in full charge of the guns on Au
gust 24 and 20.
This sub-caliber practice consists in
firing at a rapidly moving 10 by 24
foot target with a gun placed within
the bore of the large rifles, a gun
within a gun. One-pound shells will
be used and the distance of the target
from 3000 to 5000 yards away. A
couple of hundred shells will be fired.
On August 27 and 28 comes the cru
cial test of the entire maneuvers. Then
actual battle conditions are to prevail.
The Oregon troops will fire full serv
ice shells, weighing over 600 pounds
apiece and requiring propelling charges
of 125 pounds of smokeless nltro-cellu-lose
powder.
Miniature Field Aids.
Small rectangular targets will be
towed across the field of fire. These
targets will represent actual battle
ships. The stations and guns will be
operated only by Oregonlans. From
8000 to 10,000 yards away the targets
will be picked up by the observing in
struments in the range towers. At that
distance they appear like mere specks
on the horizon. These observations will
be transmitted by telephone from the
range towers to the plotting room.
Here the field of fire will be repro
duced in miniature and many correc
tions made before the final informa
tion is telephoned to the guns.
The curvature of the earth has to
be considered, the height of the tide,
the temperature of the powder, the ba
rometer readings, the effect of the
wind, the rate of speed at which the
target is traveling and the drift of the
projectile fired are some of the many
to be considered and acted upon

, An increase in business of more
than 300 per cent over the same days
in August last year could not be due
to an ordinary growth in business.
There must be some other stronger
reason for it.
Eilers Music House is stratified and
almost surprised to find that so far
for Au?ust the sales m the .Phono
graph Department are more than 300
per cent greater than for the same
period last year. We were extremely
busy last year in our new, splendid
Talking Machine Department, which
had then just been opened.
But our business this year is three
times greater.
This must mean that the splendid
facilities we have provided in those,
plate-glass and mahogany "daylight"
record and talking machine selection
rooms are appreciated.
It means that the thorough knowl
edge possessed by our salespeople
and their courteousness is being ap
preciated; and it means that our aims,
wherever possible, to furnish more
for the money than is obtainable else
where are becoming recognized.
It means that our present sale of
talking machines is being extensively
patronized and that every caller finds
here the machines and the prices ex
actly as stated, resulting in one sale
after another to delighted buyers.
The rules of the several Talking
Machine manufacturers -prohibit ad
vertising the names of machines at
cut prices, hence this general an
nouncement can only be made. But
come and see! The machines in this
sale are most of them latest types,
many of them received in part pay
ment of our wonderful little bungalow
player pianos, the autopianos and
player piano de luxe, from homes
where two instruments were not
wanted.
Others, again, have come to us in
part payment for the great $200 and
$250 machines. Still others have been
out on sale in dealers,' hands who
have gone out of business.
We now give one of the double disc
records free to every caller who has
not previously received one.
Every machine in this great sale is
in perfect order and so guaranteed,

JjAXD IX ASIATIC SERVICE.
Pacific Coast Manager of Hamburg-
American Line Says Panama
Canal Twils Benefit Northwest.
SPOKANE. Aug. 2J. (Special.) "If
Spokane and other grain centers of the
Northwest will give their moral sup
port to the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, a steamship service to handle
Northwestern grain to China and Japan
will be established." declared H. F.
Dorgoloh. of San Francisco. Pacific
Coast manager of the Hamburg-American
steamship line, today.
"The Portland Chamber Is negotiat
ing a raise of J800.000 for its own
steamship line between Portland and
the Orient, but overtures to our line
and others, I believe, will result in the
establishment of a Hamburg-American
line service between the Northwest and
China and Japan. The cost of building
ships and maintaining them is too much
for an association like the Chamber to
tackle and it, would much prefer to
make arrangements with a line already
established.
"While such a service would mean
big things for Portland, likewise it
would mean much to the grain centers,
for it would afford another avenue for
marketing grain and flour In foreign
ports." .
Manager Dorgoloh says that his and
other steamship lines are awaiting
with much interest the toll rates
through the Panama Canal which Con
gress will fix. "Whether We will have
a service to Seattle and Portland will
depend altogether on the tolls.
"We believe, though, that there is
sufficient business in the Northwest to
