12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. JUNE 17, 1913. BONDSMAN ORDERED TO PRODUCE BIEHL Man Convicted of Using Mail to Defraud Thought to Be in Canada. CRIME NOT EXTRADITABLE Portland Attorneys Consider Missing Man May Be Brought Back as Escaped Convict to Complete Prison Term. Interest in the Columbia River or chards fraud caaes has been revived among Federal officers who have learned that Allen Jay Biehl. who was connect ed with the orchard company in Port land and Is under sentence for two years' imprisonment at McNeils Island, has disappeared. His bondsman, H. L. T. Skinner, of Seattle, has been asked to produce him. It is reported that Biehl has crossed the Canada line into Vancouver, B. C, and it is held by some that the offense for which he was convicted is not ex traditable between Canada and the United States. in this case, if he fails to return, the bondsman will be called upon to make good the bond for his de livery to the Government. Biehl disappeared about three weeks ago and. his bondsman, has already been notified by the Government officials to produce the missing- man. As to the possibility of Biehl's mak ing good his escape across the Canada line, owing to the crime of using the Government mails to defraud not being extraditable, it Is the opinion of attor neys in this city that this will not hold In his case and that he can be brought back if he is located in Canada. They hold that since his conviction and sen tence, when he crossed, the Canada line, it is not a matter of merely fleeing from arrest because of a non-extraditable breach of the laws, but simply a case of an escaped convict who was practi cally serving prison sentence and can therefore be brought back to complete his sentence. "RATTLESNAKE KING" DIES Luther King, Famous Florence Character, Passes Away. EUGENE, Or., June 16. Word has reached here from Florence, Or., of the death of Luther King, known as "Samuel Rattlesnake King." because of the peculiar scourge which has at tacked him for the past 18 years, due to a rattlesnake bite received in the mountains of Idaho in July, 1875. The wound healed in time and was forgotten until 1S95 when a sore ap peared on the bottom of the foot some distance from the old snake bite. This sore festered to the bone and King went into a state of coma, drinking little, eating virtually nothing, and ileeplng 18 or 20 hours a day during the whole month of August. Just at the end of the month he revived and by the first of September was almost well. Every August since 1895 a new sore has broken out with the recurrence of the old. ones and the same state of soma has returned. ually voted to make the raw materials and the finished, products all dutiable. No sooner had this conclusion been reached than Senator Simmons and other Democratic Senators of the finance committee declared that the problem would not be settled, rightly if left that way. They were of the opin ion that all products which enter into the cost of living should go on the free list, and President "Wilson agreed with them. Senator Simmons communicated this information to the sub-committee and it reconsidered. Its action, placing all these products on the free list. Later it was announced, that the committee would adopt a countervailing' duty clause, which would make the products free only from countries which did not make them dutiable from this country. This would, operate against the free en try of livestock from such countries as Canada and Argentina. The committee further enlarged to day the free list by voting to take flax hemp and ramie from the dutiable list. Bananas, which have never been sub. ject to a tariff tax, were put on the dutiable list by action of the commit tee. To encourage American growers was given as the reason. No change was made In the liquor schedule, but It was left open for amendment. Senator Pomerene having asked to be heard, tomorrow on the subject.

LAND LITIGATION REVIVED Action Known as 3 7-10 Appealed to Vnited States Supreme Court. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., June 15. (Special.) Litigation which dates back to 1904 and which was believed to be settled, has been renewed by the ap peal of A. D. Daniels to the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1904 the Aztec Land and Cattle Company released certain lands in the San Francisco mountain reserve and took scrip -instead. Part of this scrip was sold to Daniels, who located IB quarter sections in township 37 south, range 10, East, and from this fact the case has been known as the 37-10 cases. His filing was rejected by the local land office and, while the case was under appeal, the land was filed on by nomestead and timber entries. The case was decided at last in favor of the entrymen and patents issued to them. The renewal of the suit at tempts to set aside the patents. Some of the original holders sold their claims thus deepening the muddle. SOCIALISTS ROUT I. W. W. Montana Conservatives Revoke Char ter of Butte Local. BUTTE. Mont., June 16.

Composition From Blood and Sub stances of Turtle and of Bacteria Killed by Heat to Be Tested. ' SEATTLE. Wash., June 16. (Spe cial.) Dr. Martin Damourette, the Se attle bacteriologist who asserts he dis covered a turtle scrum cure for tuber culosis in Mexico four years ago, but whose claims have not been regarded favorably by local investigators, today let down the bars of secrecy surround Ing his serum, revealed Its composi tion and method of manufacture to Dr. .1. E. Crichton, City Health Commls sloner, and declared his willingness to maKe it known to the world. Dr. Damourette agreed to have the committee select from six to 20 guinea pigs or rabbits or both, have them in oculated with bacilli of tuberculosis and after infection has taken place, treat part or all of them with the serum. Dr. Damourette's offer will be referred to the committee headed by Dr. Robert M. Stitch, and the action to be taken by the city will depend, on this body's decision. "I have concluded to give to the en tire world the secret or formula from which my serum Is prepared," Dr. Damourette said. "The serum prepared by me is compounded from the blood and substances of the turtle and of human tuberculosis bacteria cultured In my laboratory and afterwards killed by heat. The proportions used . and method of compounding is, of course, the work of the laboratory, but the media which holds these substances together Is glycerine. A committee In April asked for some samples of the serum to submit to the City Chemist for analysis to see if it contained any thing injurious. I complied with this request; furnishing an amount suffi cient for any chemist to determine what I understood to be the paramount inquiry. "On Saturday, June 6, there was made public a lengthy report of the committee appointed by Doctor Crich ton respecting Its alleged Investiga tion of the serum compounded by me and in that report the committee dis puted my statement respecting the ex istence of a bacillus called 'glyco-bac-terium.' I now declare that this same glyeo-bacterlum is found in large quantities in the southern turtle and it is that which gives to the turtle its well-known long life and immunity from disease."

(SDe ciaL) Suit to restrain the sale of me mentoes of ex-President McKlnley was started in tne superior Court this morn ing ty Alice K. Bentz. wbo asks that an auction sale advertised to take place at the store of H. Taylor Curtis, 632 Sutter street, be prohibited. The plain tiff alleges that the auctioneer Is about to sell property of which she Is the owner. The suit is another phase of the con test which has been waged over certain gifts given by former President Mc Klnley to Ida McKlnley Cooper, his fa vorlte niece. The presentation was made by the late President shortly before his visit to this coast. Since the death of Mrs. Cooper, her daughter by a former marriage. Marjorle McKmley Morse and H. R. Cooper, have been engaged in a dispute over the ownership. Cooper insists that his wife transferred the title to him. Marjorle McKinley Morse, who recently became Mrs. Hiedt. wife of a Naval officer, declares that she is entitled to the property. These claims will have to be settled before the auction sale is permitted to be held, if the prayer of the plaintiff In this latest action is heard.

Accusing the superintendent of prop erties, F. A. Narramore, and Herbert Giet, the Board of Education's super intendent of construction on the new Ainsworth School, of incompetency and willful mismanagement, the heads of the firm of William Foster & Com pany, appeared before the School Board at Its meeting last night to demand that the contract which had been made with them for building the Ainsworth School building be not terminated. In reply to the statements of Wil liam Foster and his partner, C. A. Barta, against the representatives of the School Board, F. H. Miller, who had been sent to take charge of the Ainsworth School Job by Crowe & Company when the original contrac tors turned the Job over to them, ac cused Foster & Company not only of having put up the building in a bun gling manner, but of having covered up certain flaws so that they were not noticeable until a test was made. Mr. Foster admitted the delay in the construction of the building, but de clared that it was because the super intendent of construction had persist ently interfered with them and because the plans and specifications were full of flaws. Mr. Narramore replied that changes in some of the specifications had been made, but only after the con tractors had made errors in the work, and that such changes were made so as to enable the contractors to correct their errors with the least possible loss to themselves. Mr. Miller said that he tested the tiling drain in the building and. find ing that It would not work, had dug t up. He said that he found onlv about 20 feet of tiling had been laid and that the rest of the excavation had been filled with rubbish and covered Reports From Vessels. By Marconi Wireless.
