APPLE DAY PLAN BiG Everyone to Be Asked to Buy Fruit October 20. Alibi Fails; Youth Fined for Chicken Theft. Coovert Declares Mulkey Con veys False Impression in Exploiting Measure. Jury in Jode Dayton's Court Con vict Priaoaer of Taking Two Fowls From Poultry Farm. SALESMEN TO USE PHONES OWNERS WARNED OF HARM Argument Is ilade That Claiming of Title by State Will Bar Tax Col lection and That Deficit Will Fall on Property Holders. Contrary to the contentions of F. W. Mulkey, member of the Public Docks Commission, E. E. Coovert declares that the proposed "tide-lands" amendment to be voted upon at the coming elec tion will seriously affect owners of waterfront property. "Mr. Mulkey's speeches and news paper reports are conveying: a false im pression," said Mr. Coovert yesterday. "He would induce owners of im proved waterfront property to believe that the proposed amendment is per fectly harmless, when, in fact, it would be extremely harmful." Although, he points out, the provision in the measure that would divest tide land owners of their property is in violation of the Federal Constitution, Mr. Coovert points out that so long- as the state claims title to these lands it will be impossible to collect taxes on them, and that this deficit in tax re ceipts will have to be made up by other property-owners. Exemption Argument Attacked "Mr. Mulkey said before an East Side audience last week," said Mr. Coovert, "that there is but one piece of property between Burnside and Madison streets that would be affected by the amend ment. "This exception presumably is be tween Oak and Stark streets, on which no dock has been built. "Why is the remainder not affected? His answer ig that the shore owners have constructed docks to the harbor line under the wharfing act of 1862 and therefore the remainder is exempt from its operation." Mr. Coovert Insists that the amend ment does not exempt such lands. The title to every foot of such shore land, he declares, from bank-full stage down to low-water mark, with all riparian rights fronting thereon, is, by the posi tive terms of the amendment, revested in the state, "perpetual and inalien able." The only mention as to wharves al ready built, he says, is to the effect that a city cannot build a dock upon submerged land upon which a wharf has already been constructed under the art of 1862 without paying for it. Act Likened to Spite Fence. "The title to all shore land, however, up to bank-full stage," said Mr. Coo vert. "goes back to the state if the amendment carries and. is effective. "But there is the rub. It will not be effective, because the state in 1876 granted the shore land, that is, the spare between full-bank stage and low water, to the uplanl owner and all riparian rights follow and attach as an incident thereto. "Why doesn't Mr. Mulkey admit this? Why does he continually harp on the repealable franchise of 1862, when the shore owners' title to low water is by virtue of the grant of 1876? Why does he talk about a wharf being built over the foreshore, between low water and the harbor line, when he knows such a wharf is impracticable and cannot be utilized. "He knows that a large part of a wharf is above the "bank-full stage line, also a large part is between this line and low-water line, and but a small fraction extends beyond the low water line to the harbor line. This foreshore is so narrow that it is of no value for dock purposes -without the privately-owned shore land above it. "If the amendment will have the ef fect of preventing a shore owner from hereafter extending a wharf from his low-water line to the harbor line, then it will be in effect a wall or spite fence at low-water line, rendering a shore owner's property valueless, unless he comes through with rent money to the state. Measure Deemed Conflicting. "He is right in saying this amend ment cannot affect this improved shore land, but not because the intent to re invest the state with it is not plainly stated in the amendment, but because this shore land became irrevocably vested in the upland owner over 40 years ago. "But what will be the result if the amendment carries? With the state claiming title thereto, the Assessor cannot assess the present claimants with it until, yqara-of litigation have resulted in a holding, as it will hold that the amendment, in its attempt to vest title in the state up to bank-full stage, is in violaion of the Federal Con stitution, and void. "In the meantime the values deducted on the tax roll from waterfront owners on account of the state's claim of own ership will add to the burdens of other taxpayers. The passage of such freak amendments as this, along with the $1500 exemption, the"sur-tax, the work men's relief bill and eight-hour law, will pon drive investors out of the state and deter others from coming. Act Held Confiscatory. "Mr. Mulkey, however, admits that the amendment will confiscate the ex cepted unimproved waterfront block above mentioned. I will take him at his word. "For the same reason it will confis cate 10 miles of unimproved water front below bankfuil stage on each side of the Willamette from the south limits of the city to its mouth. What is this worth now? What will it be worth if the amendment passes? Atid what will be done with it? The city will improve but a small fraction of it, if any. "If the demand for docks is so lim ited that the present owners cannot erect them when no rental is required for the privilege, how can they afford to construct docks when in addition to the cost of construction they will be compelled to pay a rental, and then, too, not own the fee to the shore un der their improvements? "No one will invest a dollar in Im provements on shore lands with such a cloud on his title if the amendment carries. "Mr. Zlegler. however, in a recent let ter to the Journal has made a 'find.' Mr. Mulkey had overlooked it. The Su preme Court in the Pacific Milling Com pany case and the attorneys and 'aml-cus-curlos' failed to grasp it. That is, the grant of 1876 was repealed in 1878. Therefore the shore owners' title to low-water mark vanished with the re peal of 1S78. If a grant can thus be repealed. I know of a few Improvident grants made several years ago at low prices which the grantors would now be extremely anxious to repeal." Baker High School Growing. BAKER. Or., Oct. 6. (Special.) Fig ures compiled on Baker High School HE theft of two chickens occupied 8 the attention of Judge Dayton' and a jury in District Court yes terday for two hours. Matthew Heide, a youth lately from Norway, who speaks Imperfect English, was found guilty and fined 35. the minimum penalty. Mrs. Katherine Petersen, the com plaining witness. testified that she caught Heide carrying the fowls, one under each arm, from her poultry farm at Brentwood. She ordered him to leave her property alone and he dropped the fowls and walked down the road, she says. On the witness-stand. Heide made a flat denial of the whole affair, saying he had never seen the woman before and did not steal the chickens. He is domiciled at the Salvation Army In dustrial Home, 24 Union avenue, and had Lieutenant Hoyf of that institution In court to testify that during the whole afternoon of September 16, when the alleged theft occurred. Heirin wa chopping wood at the industrial home, directly under Lieutenant Hort's watchful eye. This startling alibi almocf Deputy District Attorney Ryan, who prosecuted the case, but he resorted to artful methods that discredited the testimony with the jury, which brought in a verdict of eruiltv after hin. only a few moments.

If any householder, businessman or patriotic citizen of Portland escapes buying a box of apples on the National apple day.

BOND OFFER IS TOO LOW City Kef uses 90 1-2 Cents for Issue or $100,000 for Bocks. Improvement of the market for long-time municipal bonds was noted yesterday when a bid of 90 cents was received for an issue of $100,000 in 30-year 4 per cent dock bonds. The bids was submitted by E. H. Rollins & Sons, of Chicago. y It was decided that the bid was too low to be accepted and the bonds were taken up by City Treasurer Adams for investment in a municipal sinking fund. Some time ago an issue of $150,000 in the same kind of bonds was offered and there were no bid ders. A year ago the best price was 87 cents. The market gradually im proved until the war caused a slump which resulted in the city failing to get any bids for the bonds.

Oct. 6 (Spe cial.) The special assistant from the Attorney-Qeneral's office, who is con ducting the hearing on the Southern Oregon land case, expects to complete the work late tonight and return to Portland. A phase of the possible for feiture of 30,000 acres of land attracts attention here owing to the fact that large tax revenue will be lost to the county if the suit is successful. The land is placed in the reserve. When I told a prominent man today what the Westover proposition was, he would hardly believe me. I wish I could tell you who he is you would recognize him as one of the conservatives of Portland. He knows the value of Cornell Road and Nob Hill property, which lies just below Westover. He knows that lots which sold on Cornell Road six and seven years ago for about 60c a square foot are held at $2 a square foot today. The owners of "Westover have authorized me to make an extraordinary proposition to move a certain num ber of Westover Terrace sites at once. You will probably never have another such opportunity. If you desire, the proposition will include the building of a home for you, under our supervision. You can pay for it all like rent.

Plagemann Says America May Be Supreme Base WAR ELIMINATES RUSSIA Portland Manager of Iilebes Inter ests Returns After Inspecting Company's Big Fur Cargoes at San Francisco. "While the war In Europe has sapped the shipping facilities of the Russians so that their fur industry will drop enormously this season and for many seasons to come, the United States is placed in a remarkably advantageous position to attain pre-eminence in the world's fur market, declares J. P. Plagemann, the local manager of the Liebes fur Interests, who has just re turned from San Francisco. Mr. Plagemann went south to in spect the enormous shipment brought back from the north by the Liebes whalers Jeanette'and Herman, which have just returned from the season's expedition.- While the American fur fleets have been able to go out and reap big harvests this year, the un settled conditions in Europe have pre vented most of the rival fleets of other nations from getting into the field. Shipment. Made Yearly. "The largest exports of whalebone in the world are made from the Pa cific Coast, and at present we control the world's supply," said Mr. Plage mann. "Similarly the fur industry from this coast runs into immense proportions annually, and we ship every year to the East and to Europe, and even Invade the territory of Rus sia, which is .our strongest competi tor. Though the industry is essentially dependent upon the Alaskan fields, it is financed and managed entirely from the coast, and gives employment to many hundreds of persons. "Local interests believe that now is the' moment for the United States to grasp a position of control in the world's fur markets. The demand for furs in every northern country this Winter must be supplied from the Western manufacturers, and conditions place us in admirable preparation to assume the task. "This year has been a banner one for our fur fleets. The catch Just brought into port is the largest in the history of the business. We are sending up from San Francisco 2000 white foxsklns of the rarest and per fect type, and even these furs form but a small part of the great variety that the Liebes ships brought into port in San Francisco last week." Fir North Great Bin. The Liebes company sends its fleet every year into the Arctic to trade for furs among the Esquimaux of Alaska and Canada. White fox, red fox, blue fox and the rare silver and black fox, mink, marten, land otter and polar bear skins are the principal furs traded for. The company has stations at the most northerly points from Point Barrow into the barren Arctic regions, and the cruises of the fur ships are filled with -adventure. The Liebes steamer Herman was the ship that rescued Captain Bart'ett, of the Stefansson expedition, from the Siberian Coast. It was this steamer that brought news of the wreck of the Karluk to the world and that the survivors were on Wrangell Island. The furs brought in by the two Liebes steamers, Herman and Jean- tte. will, to a large degree, be made up In San Francisco. Portland or other Coast houses and wil: furnish ei-ployment this Winter for scores of persons. ROSARIANS PLAN BIG TOUR San Francisco, Pasadena and Ban Diego in Proposed Itinerary. Royal Rosarians plan an excursion for next January which will include San Francisco, Pasadena and the open ing of the Panama-California exposi tion at San Diego.

ROBBERS ELUDE POSSE OSWEGO SAFKBLOWKHS MAKE MAKE GOOD ESCAPE WITH LOOT. Saioen's Valt Explodes W 1th Rear That Awakens Ton and Men Work, aa People Watch. Although the Sheriffs of two counties and Portland's police force have been searching for three cracksmen who blew open the safe of the Mosier & Williams saloon, Oswego, early Tues day morning, taking $8u0 in cash and a watch valued at $250, no suspects had been captured late last night. Sheriff Word was notified early Tues day and Sheriff Mass, of Clackamas County, has also been on the lookout. City detectives worked on the case yesterday. It was found that the rob bers had motored out to Oswego from Portland and then rode back to this city. Methods of blowing open the safe were like those of the funny burglars in moving pictures. They awoke some of the townspeople by the noise they made. They rolled the safe out of the saloon and loaded it on a baggage truck they took from the depot. They then pulled the load down the street some distance and deposited the safe by the roadside. There they poured nitroglycerine into the cracks at the edge of the door and set off the ex plosive. John Bickner, an Oswego merchant, was awakened by the disturbance and watched the performance from a win dow of his home. He thought it was the depot safe and believed he was watching what would be a good Joke J on tne Durglars, as he knew there was no money in the depot safe.
