THE BIORmG OREGOyiAN. SATURDAY, SEPTE3IBE'R ' 18, 1915. - : i - STIRRING APPEAL IS MADE FOR PEOPLE Ex-Senator Fulton Pleads for Development of Western Forest Reserves. HOMESEEKERS DENIED USE Proposal for State to Take Over and Sell Grant Lands Pointed Out to "Be Serious and Un certain Feature. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Sept. 17. (Special.) A stirring' appeal for "human conservation." instead of '"for est conservation." was offered the del egates to the Land Grant Conference here last night by ex-Senator C. W. Fulton, of Portland. Mr. Fulton had been invited to speak on me constitutional questions," in volved in the land grant case, but di rected his utterances more to an in structive explanation of the blighting: policies." of Federal restrictions against land development in the West. He declared that it would be far bet ter for the state and the country to have the timber in the forest reserves turned into finished lumber and the land opened to settlers than to cause the forest to remain uncut and unde veloped for the benefit of generations not yet born. He referred to the fact that scores of American homesee! era are leaving every month for Australia and emphasized how much better it would be if, instead of men and women, lumber products were being shipped to Australia. Speaking of the policy that the state should advocate regarding the disposal of the lands. Senator Fulton declared that the proposal for the state to pay the railroad $2.50 an acre, take over the lands and sell them and convert the surplus into the school fund, was fraught with ostacles and risks. Serious Obstacles In Way. . "It is not entirely certain," said he. "that we would realize a profit. If it were, then ttte scheme would be quite attractive. There are. however, too many serious obstacles to be encoun tered, among which would be the amending of our constitution: for as it is the state could not for this purpose incur an indebtedness in excess of $50, 000. It would require a much greater indebtedness to handle the proposition. It is not entirely certain also, that the voters would favor assuming such a burden. "The primary principle I would urge is that the state demand that the covenants of the grant, as far as prac ticable, be enforced'. That is, the lands should be sold to actual settlers in quantities not exceeding 160 acres to any' one person, for not to exceed $2.50 an acre. I do not want the soil of this state withdrawn from its activities. 1 do not want any more dead territory. We already have too much such terri tory. We want home builders, and every acre of public land suitable for home building should be open to set tlement." ; Senator Fulton told the conference that he doubted the power of the Gov ernment to restore the lands to the public domain, although he said that this would not militate against it agreeing to liberal terms for their dis posal. He declared that the state should insist that the lands be not re stored to the public domain, but must continue in private ownership. "I suggest." he continued, "that a careful classification of the lands be recommended. Those suitable for agri culture and stock growing should be disposed of only to actual settlers on the easiest terms possible. Those of a mineral character should be disposed of for that purpose, while such as are chiefly valuable for timber should be sold on some plan designed to secure to the public their actual value." Railroad Consideration Saggested. In conclusion the Senator urged that It might be well for the state to meet the railroad half way in securing an adjustment of the question, as sug gested by Mr. Dunne, of the Southern Pacific, in his address in the after noon. .Representative W. C. Hawley, of Salem, followed Mr. Fulton, and while not agreeing with him in the limit of power enjoyed by the Fedenal Govern ment, was thoroughly in sympathy to have the lands' opened to settlement. ' Representative Hawley pointedout that the Government in several cases, to his certain knowledge, has taken title to land that actually had passed into .the hands of settlers and ventured the opinion that if it so willed that the Government could do likewise in Ore gon. He advanced the argument that the terms of the original grant should be carried out and that the lands be sold : at $2.60 an; acre as at first provided. . . Mr. Lafferty Is Heard. Ex'-Representative A. 'W. Lafferty f gave the audience a detailed account of the history: of the land grant case and told of the part that he had'had in it. As attorney for -some, of the set ,. tiers on the land, he said, he filed a suit eight years ago today, asking the . Government to forfeit title on account of thealleged failure of the railroad to carry out its 'agreement. Mr. Laf ferty quoted from Congressional records and from legal documents bear ing on the subject and did not finish his address until 11:15 tonight. Representative C. N. McArthur was invited to speak tonight, but .deferred his utterances till tomorrow) OFFICER IS FACING TRIAL Vancouver Mian's Xante Xot Divulged but Partial Court Named. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 17.

All the deputies immediately left the hall, only Deputy Kerensky, a. Iaborite, who shouted "Down with all traitors," attempting to speak.

The deputies, as they left the chamber and gathered in private party conferences, appeared generally cheerful. It is pointed out that the Emperor reserved tne right to recall the Duma before .November 14 if he wished. " INTEREST CHILD, ADVICE ATTRACTIVE HOMES I'RGED ' BY SUPERINTENDENT ALDERMAN.

CONVICT WORK ADVOCATED Virginia and Colorado Officials Say Prisoners AVould Be Benefited Without Competing: With Free Labor. OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 17 The Pan American Road Congress yesterday adopted a resolution calling on Con gress to investigate. the feasibility and necessity of a system of military high ways throughout the country. The original resolution recommended by the committee on resolutions called on the .National Government to inves tigate the practicability of building the military men way tnrourh California. Oregon ana Washington from the Mex lean to the Canadian line, to cost $50. 000,000. Delegates from the Interior of Illinois objected to the resolution, arguing that the word "militarv" should be left out and that the motion should be made broader so as to In clude all sections of the United States. Work by Convicts Advoeated. C. P. Coleman. State Hiehwav Com missioner of Virginia, and J. E. Ma loney, secretary-engineer of the Colo rado State Highway Commission, told the Congress that the placing of con victs at work on the state's roads would go far toward providing a solu tion of the existing prison problem. " air. Coleman declared that the work built up the men physically, and as a result morally, and fitted them for life on leaving prison. Maloney said that the honor system In Colorado had proved a success In every way. It would seem fair and just," said Mr. Maloney. "that the prisoners em ployed . on . the roads should receive-a .monetary remuneration as well as re ceiving the benefit of having their prison terms shortened. This would permit prisoners to accumulate small funds to assist them when they were thrown back on the world." Labor Xot Competitive. "In road work thece Is little or no competition with free labor," he con tinues. "The work on which the convict is engaged is one of pressing need to the public and creates in the worker a kind of pride in his own uselniness. This was Pacific Highway day at the congress, whicti will hold its final ses- ion tomorrow. WOMAN WED 13 TIMES DIES 'Marryinjr Folly," of Evansville, Ind., Passes at 69. EVANSVILLE.

WIFE IS SEEKING HEIR PART OK JJl.OOO.OOO ESTATE IS LEFT TO HUSBAND. George Kelly, Jr., of Roving Nature, but JVever Stayed Away So Look Before, Declares Helpmate. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11 George Kelly. Jr.. one of ten heirs to an estate said to be worth more than $1,000,000, which was left by his father. George Kelly, Sr., the wealthy Philadelphia merchant, who died August 9, Is miss ing. This information has been given to the police by the missing man's wife, who resides at 1435 North Sixteenth street, and who has started a nation wide search for her husband so that her four children may receive the bene fit of the fortune. The junior Kelly was seen last in this city about two years ago. He then dropped out of sight and is believed to have gone to the Middle West. No let ters or other word, so far as is known, have been received from him since. Though Mrs. Kelly has been in corre spondence with the police of various Western cities ever since the death of her father-in-law, she obtained no trace of her husband. "My husband is of a roving disposi tion and may be thousands of miles away." Mrs. Kelly said. "Even prior to two years ago he would leave the city and not return for months. He never stayed away as long as two years before." The senior Mr. Kelly was one of the city's oest-known business men. For years he conducted a furniture install ment business, having stores at 624 Market street and 1940 North Front street. The business since his death has been conducted by the trustees and executors of his estate, Richard T. and Laura I. Kelly, two of his 10 children, and tho United Security Life Insurance Company. He owned considerable real estate in Philadelphia and was presi dent and a large stockholder in the Pine Beach Improvement Company. in nis will, Ulr. .Kelly bequeathed his entire estate to his 10 children. Thomas and Estelle receive bequests, which, on their death, revert to the trustees, to be divided equally between seven other children. Richard, the present head of the business, was given one-fifth of the residue of the estate and the remainder was bequeathed to the other children, to be divided equally among them. Owing to the complicated nature of the installment business and the exten sive sciiie on which the Kelly firm worked, it will be at least a year before an inventory of the estate is completed, according to present indications. Mr. .Kciiv s will recognizes this difficulty and provides an unusuaV length of time xor xno iinai settlement. MAN 49 YEARS PRINCIPAL Veteran Educator in 'ev Jersey to Continue Calling. BURLINGTON, N.

PACIFIC COAST CONSIDERED Shipyards, Labor Supply and Facili ties for Domiciling Crews on Shore Are Factors In De termining Locations. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Sept 16. After establishing a submartne base at New London, Conn., the first station of the kind in the United States, Secretary -of the Navy Daniels announced that several other submarine bases would be established one of them on the Pacific Coast. No site has been selected for the Western submarine base, but the selection like ly will be made in the course of the coming Winter. Final determination may be left to Congress. Claims put forward in behalf of the Columbia River, especially if backed by the Democratic Senators from Ore gon, would receive careful considera tion by the Navy Department. The department's objections to the Colum bia River as a site for a navy - yard would not obtain as against a sub marine base, and various arguments favorable to a navy-yard on' the Colum bia will apply -wltn reference to a submarine station. If the Navy Department decides to establish only one submarine base on the Pacific Coast, the Columbia River will have to compete with Puget Sound. San Francisco, San Diego and possibly smaller ports or harbors. In cluding Grays Harbor. 'One thing, however, will bar some of the smaller ports the lack of labor supply and the lack of shipyards. Heretofore the policy of the Navy Department has been to gather sub marines into groups and assigni a tender to each group, the tender sup plying some of the requisites of a sub marine base. However, when material repairs to submarines became neces sary, the ships had to be sent to the nearest navy-yard, and often were obliged to wait considerable time. Now the department has come to the con clusion that land bases are necessary for the proper handling of the sub marines, and the European idea is to be adopted in the United States. The land base provides a plant with full equipment of machinery and skilled workmen to make repairs. It then pro vides a base of supplies, and, thirdly, provides land quarters for the officers and crews of the under-water craft. The first submarine base, at New London, was established on a tract owned by the Government, Other bases probably will be established on land yet to be bought, and Congress must make the necessary appropriations, ur less suitable sites should be donated. If no site is donated on the Pacific Coast, and if appropriation is made for the purchase of ground, it would be possible to secure Congressional direc tion that the site be along the Colum bia River at or below Portland. NAVY MAN GETS HIS "JAG" Judge Saves la-rine From Being Disgraced In Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1L Tonkin S. Davis, a United States marine, ot his history-making "Jag" on under the regulations of the Army, according to a decision filed by Judge Dickin son in the Federal Court here. That particular Jag, acquired at Vera Cruz while the marines were detached for Army service under General Fun ston, is without doubt the most cele brated in Army-Navy history. The question as to whether Private Davis got it under Army or Navy regula tions puzzled military officers and was passed up by President Wilson, the Attorney-General, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of War and the judge-advocate-general of the Army. Some weeks ago it was put up "to Judtfe Dickinson, in an appeal by Davis from his conviction by a Navy court-martial. Davis wanted a trial by Army court-martial, because the pun ishment for his offense under Army regulations is less severe than under those of the Navy. While drunk Davis stabbed a comrade and the sentence imposed by the Navy court included disfranchisement. SHOCK IS FATAL TO GIRL Death Follows Excitement Caused by Fire in Hotel. ALLENTOWN. Pa..
