BAD LANDS ARE SOLD
PIONEER OF 1852 DIES AT AS

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.

Warns Commander.
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.
