Wednesday, august 8, ion King Unless Supreme Court or President Offers Relief Four Months Must Be Served In Prison for Complicity in Sales. The probable finale to a lengthy land fraud case was written Monday, when the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco upheld the decision of Federal Judge Bean, of this city, decreeing that H. H. Riddell, a. Portland attorney, must serve four months in the County Jail for complicity In the frauds of the Oregon Inland De velopment Company, of which the de fendant was secretary. Frank Richet, president of the com pany, was indicted for land frauds in March, 1912, and the indictment of J. D. Conway, general manager of th com pany, followed In December, 1913. These defendants were tried before Federal Judge Bean, with United States Attorney Reames conducting the prose cution, and with Charles W. Fulton ap pearing for the defense. Both Serve In JalL After .a trial which took several weeks, both were found guilty on De cember 13, receiving sentences on Feb ruary 9, 1913. Conway was sentenced to eight months in the County Jail. Richet was sentenced to serve 30 days in the County Jail and to pay a fine of (4000. Both sentences were served. Riddell, the secretary, was indicted on May 23, 1914, and was tried in Jan uary, 1916, before Federal Judge Bean, being found guilty. He was sentenced to serve four months In the County Jail, but took an appeal to the United Etates Circuit Court of Appeals and re mained at liberty under $3000 bond. The defendant was represented by Wal lace McCamant as counsel. Pardon or Appeal la Possible. The action of the higher court in sus taining Judge Bean's decision leaves but little alternative to Riddell. Un less he takes an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, or gets a pardon. he must serve the Jail sentence. He has SO days, however, in which to file a petition for a rehearing. In his defense Riddell maintained that he was only nominally a member of the board of directors of the so- called Oregon Inland Development Company, that he was not concerned in their land sales, serving merely as at torney for the others. This was re futed by the Government. The frauds operated by the company took $60,000 from a wide coterie of small investors, none of whom received the slightest value for their contract payments. The lands were proved to be worthless for any purpose In a ma jorlty of Instances. Arid Tracts Are Sold. The Oregon Inland Development Company began operations in the early part of 1909 selling "auction contracts" covering the Veason lands, arid and mountainous tracts scattered through out 12 Oregon counties. The lands were represented to be suitable for agricul tural purposes. Many tracts were dis posed of. - Later the company changed Its sales territory to lands In Union County. While these tracts were of better char acter than the Veason lands. Investiga tion proved them worthless for agri cultural or horticultural purposes. The Government contended that Rid dell not only was Interested in the fraudulent land sales, but that he was one of the original Incorporators of the Oregon Inland Development Com pany and active In the direction of its affairs. FEW WILL BE EXEMPT (Continued From First Papa.) who seeks discharge on the ground of having a. dependent wife. "We don't expect persons to refrain from marrying because the country is at war, but the man who marries to dodge the draft will have scant mercy from the district boards if his case cames before them on appeal," com mented Dan J. Malarkey after the meet ing. Mr. Malarkey Is secretary of the district board in division No. 1, with headquarters in Portland. "A man who seeks a discharge on the ground that be has a dependent wife will receive every consideration If his is a legitimate case, but the married dodgers will receive abrupt treatment. Rich Haa'l Sen 7?ot Exempt. "We will have an ax. and a sharp .x. out for them, and for all dodgers and slackers. It will be a heavy ax, and a sharp ax. and will cut deeply when It falls. The rich man's son will get no more consideration than the eon of a ditch digger, and the very fact that he Is a rich man's son will cause his case to be scanned closely, "In connection with claims for in Austrlal discharges the district boards want to see the industries necessary to the efficiency of the military forces and the necessary agricultural inter ests, fully protected. But they also want to see the hangers-on at pooi balls and corner grocery stores and the men who go to work with the sole view of claiming exemption get their proper resserts. Long, Bard War Expected. "All the members of the district boards at today's meeting feel that the United States is engaged in tne imf serious war it has ever gone Into. They feel that the county has accepted the challenge of a ruthless military power and that the war is. mine- to be a long, hard war that will cost - the lives of many of our best vrt ii n r m Ml. "Under such circumstances, the mem bers of the boards feel that the man whn makes an unjust claim ror exera tion or discharge and cause another man to be out in his place on in battle line, is guilty of the grossest un patriotism, to say tne least "Tt waa ma.de very clear at todays meeting that the personal element is not to be permitted to enter inio con, slderation of applications for exemp tion or discharge.

PARIS, Aug. T. Major-General Per shing, commander of the American ex pedition in France, told the Associated Press today what he expected of Amer ica's conscript Army. The General said: "Our men must be In good physical condition, keeping their morals clean and thereby capabla of meeting the trying conditions of modern warfare. The men must learn to obey orders promptly, implicitly and willingly, but not necessarily automatically. "I object to the word 'automatic De- cause we do not want a machine-made organization, but an army of thinking men. Men with individuality, men fully capable and ready to assume com mand of units, should their officers be killed or incapacitated, as sometimes happens in trench warfare. "The men must be made to realise that war is not sport or play, but se rious work, demanding the utmost en- ergy and attention to Insure success." General Pershing likened army organ ization to a football team In which each man is trained to physical perfection, under strict discipline, but Is capable of brilliant Individual action In a crista. He added: "We want our men trained tne same way." The General waa optimistic and con fident that America's Army would give an excellent account of Itself and would come up to the expectations of the other entente allies, despite the tre mendous amount of work necessary be fore active American participation in trench warfare was possible.
