TAX SHORTAGE 54,000,000
MOST SERIOUS CONDITION IX
' HISTORY FACED BY CITY.
But Three Days Remain In Which
First" Half or Annual Dues
May Be Paid Sheriff.
Multnomah county faces the most
serious condition in its history so far
as taxes are concerned unless prop
erty owners mail or take a veritable
avalanche of checke and currency to
the tax department of Sheriff Hurl
burt's office by Monday night.
With but three days remaining in
which the first half of the annual
taxes may be paid, a delinquency of
$4,000,000 was faced yesterday, which
is by far a greater delinquency than
ver before at this period of tax pay
ing time.
Of the $12,000,000 due in taxes this
year, one-half must be paid by Mon
day if It is not to become delinquent,
and figures given out yesterday at
the sheriff's office showed that but
2,160,000 had been collected up to
yesterday noon.
A long line of property owners was
at the cashier's window all day yes
terday and each mail brought hun
dreds . of checks, but despite the
money being received officials of the
department say that the delinquen
cies for the first half will be far
greater than ever before unless the
unexpected happens and an extraor
dinary amount of money is received
during the next three days.
WIFE CHARGES EVICTION
Woman Says Husband Had Her Ar
rested for Kidnaping.
Not only did her husband refuse to
let her in the house after she had
returned from a visit with relatives,
but he likewise had her arrested on a
kidnaping charge because she took
her two children with her, alleges
Lulu Stuart as a basis for a divorce
from Joseph H. Stuart. Her complaint,
filed yesterday in circuit court,
charges extreme cruelty. She asks for
the custody of the children. They
were married at Madraev Or., In 1906.
Extreme cruelty is the complaint of
Myrtle Kimble against Bruce Kimble,
whom she married at Vancouver a
year ago. She wants the custody of a
minor child and $40 monthly for its
support.
Kdith Felix alleges desertion in a
suit against William Felix, whom she
married in 1916, and Helen Hambuckle
charges desertion in a divorce com
plaint against Frank W. Hambuckle.
They were married three years ago.

Opinion on Right to Take Sand
From River Is Given.
SAI-RM, Or., April 2. (Special.)
The city of Corvallls has no control
over the sand and gravel In the Wil
lamette river, even though the leg
islature extended the corporate limits
cf the municipality to the ralddile of the

by Attorney-General Brown today.
The attorney-general held in his
bpinion that the act of the legisla

upon persons and firms taking sand
or gravel from navigable streams of

PICKETS ARE ENJOINED
Interference With Patrons Charged
by Owner of Store.
Presiding Judge McCourt yesterday
signed a temporary injunction re
straining the Central Labor council
and union organizations from picket
ing in front of the Royal Shoe com
pany store. The injunction suit was
brought by J. A. Levy, owner of the
etore, who alleged the union pickets
were interfering with patrons.
The temporary order was similar to
others issued during recent weeks by
Judge McCourt. It permitted the plac
ing of one picket in front of each
door, providing the pickets would
make no demonstration of any kind
and would refrain from addressing
prospective customers.
