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state withdrawn from its activities. 1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)

INTEREST CHILD, ADVICE
ATTRACTIVE HOMES I'RGED ' BY
SUPERINTENDENT ALDERMAN.
Christian Influence Through Parents
Rather Than Bible Teaching In
Schools Is . Favored.
"Parents should strive to make the
home so attractive to their children
that the boy and girl would stay
there in preference to seeking out
side amusement," - said Superintendent
Alderman Thursday night, when he ad
dressed a packed house at the Rose
City Park Presbyterian Church. .
Mr. Alderman showed slides and ex
plained the school activities ira Port
land. "Little children should bo al
lowed as much time for recreation as
for work. Forty minutes for work
and then 40 for play is a good idea."
said the Superintendent. He also ad
vocated that Instead of trying to place
the, Bible in the schools that the home
environment be made such that the
child should at least be exposed to
Christian influences.
"The school of Portland are becom
ing better all the time, and it is my
desire to help make Portland an ideal
place for the home and bringing up'
a family," added the speaker. In the
course of his talk Mr. Alderman traced
the development of the city schools
and the different phases in the school
and home life of the youngsters.-

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

Ind., Passes at 69.
EVANSVILLE. Ind., Sept. 12 Mrs.
Polly Anne Weed Strodes, known as
"Marrying Polly," because she had
been married 13 times, died here today
at the age of 69 years.
Last Saturday she was sued for
$10,000 damages by James Handley,
who alleged that he was shot last
February by Harrison Strodes, the
13th husband of Mrs. Strodes. and that
Mrs. Strodes urged her husband to as
sault him.
Physicians believe that the shock
caused by the filing of the suit indi
rectly caused the aged woman's death.
Last February Strodes was arrested on
the charge of shooting Hanrlley, and
skipped his bond of . $500. This was
paid by Mrs. Strodes, who then sued
him for divorce.
Mrs. Strodes announced at the time
she would marry again as soon as
she was released from her 13th hus
band. V

GIRL BITTEN, FISH LYNCHED
.
Young Woman Loses End of Finger
in Pickerel's Mouth.
NEW YORK. Sept. 1L The high
cost of pickerel bait was emphatically
illustrated to Miss Kitty Evans when
she caught the largest pickerel seen
in the vicinity of Rock Hill, N. J., for
three seasons. He weighed four and
one-half pounds after he 'had been
lynched for biting off the top of Miss
Evans right index finger. When alive
and in possessison of a temper It is
assumed that he weighed about 20
pounds.
Miss Evans, who lives in Jersey City
and who is stopping at the Lord Ho
tel, in Rock Hill, started out for "a
fishing trip with Joseph Fexton. one
of the best-known fishermen about
town. They devoted mott of their
time up to noon to feeding bait to some
anonymous pickerel and they assumed
it was the same one that tried to tel
escope the canoe.
Early In the afternoon, when Mr.
Fexton was paddling. Miss Evans an
nounced she had caught something. It
proved to be a log and, as they had
but one line, it was decided to go to
the trouble of freeing it. Miss Evans
directed the course to where the log
was and when they were quite close
reached down into the water. With a
scream sho pullled her hand up and a
huge pickerel, still holding on. was
thrown into the bottom of the canoe.
It is asserted all she had lost of her
finger was a little bit of the top.
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.

Government to Make Provi
sion for Submarines.
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
