THE MORXIXG OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1022 FLOATIWG PALACE OF LIQUOR PLANNED Lovely Women Also to Be From Foreign Shores. 3-MILE LIMIT OBSERVED ready for business by July 1. The only delay, he said, has been due to the fact that all the bankers he first approached, to ask them to act as guardians of the money sent in for tickets until such time as the cor poration was ready to begin business, refused to do so, for fear that they would be labeled "wets and that their "dry" depositors would with draw their funds. And now come the enforcement agents, objecting:. Captain Martin intimated today that life is just one darn thins after another. New York Corporation Proposes to Operate Small Boats Out to $10,000,000 Craft.. NEW YORK. March 9. (Special.) Operation of a ship loaded with liquor and lovely women from foreign shores just outside of the three-mile limit was revealed tonight as the plan of th. newlv-formed Recreation Ticket corporation. Th plan was outlined in four circulars printed by the cor poration and which recently came to the attention of Ralph A. Day, pro hibition enforcement commissioner for the district of New Tork. Mr. Dav started for Washington to night. He said he would study the circulars and confer with his col leagues in Washington about them. The Recreation Ticket corporation In which Captain James "V. Martin is the moving spirit, took out articles of incorporation on January 23, but, according to Captain Martin s own statement today, it has not desired any publicity. With Captain Martin, who is engaged in building aircraft at his own plant in Garden City, the incorporators are Edward A. .Kelly, also an aviator and now- connected with the Aerial Transport corporation of -505 Fifth avenue, and Charles W. Brewster of 614 West 157th street. Capital to Be $100,000. The concern is to have a capital stock of $100,000, consisting of 10.000 shares of common stock at $10 each, and the articles of incorporation state that it begins business with $1000 capital. Captain Martin holds 80 shares, it is said, and Kelly and Brewster ten each. One paragraph in one of the circu lars read as follows: "By arrange ment with the federal prohibition en forcement office, the vessel's police and patrol service will co-operate - with the United States authorities to prevent any intoxicating liquors from passing from the recreation vessel to United States territory; and in all matters affecting the vessel's status, she will be entirely law-abiding and conducted upon such a high plane of wholesome amusement that no rea sonable person will be able to take offense." Arrangement la Denied, It is this paragraph which particu larly interested Commissioner Day and caused him to take the circulars to Washington. Commissioner Day declared that no such "arrangement" as alleged by the circular had been made with his office here. Captain Martin, in his room at the Herald Square hotel, declared that he and his associates intended to go ahead with the project, being fully convinced of its legality and practi cability. Two other corporations, in addition to the Recreation Ticket cor porat'on, will be formed, he said, in order to carry xnxt the scheme. The business of the Recreation Ticket cor poration, said he, will be simply the sale of tickets giving their purchas ers a trip on seagoing tenders to and from the Recreation vessel," which is to come with its stock of wine, women and song from some foreign Portland anchor somewhere beyond Ambrose lightship. This corporation will have a ticket booth in the ar cade of the Herald building. Herald square, which will be opened for busi ness on Monday. Foreign King to Be Flown. The vessel itself, said Captain Mar- ' tin, while flying the flag of some for eign nation, will be owned and op erated by a second corporation, yet to be incorporated, but the expense of purchasing, refurnishing and op erating the craft is to be borne by American capital. There are, he said, five guarantors, all Americans, for this project, men of wealth and wide business interests. Captain Martin said that he could not divulge their names for the present, "because their interests are so wide that they can not afford to be hounded by the 'drys' who will probably object to the plan." A third corporation, said he, is to be formed for the purpose of owning and operating the fleet of tenders that will take to the dream ship, the millions who thirst for physical and spiritual recreation. This concern, he aid, will probably be headed by Cap tain James McAllister of McAllister Brothers, lighterage contractors ot 24 State street.

While refusing to disclose the nam of the "floating palace of delight" or the country in which it is to be reg istered. Captain Martin asserted that the vessel has already been selected and that its register Is upwards of 0,000 tons. When its rose garden, dancing floors and recreation halls have been completed, its cost will have reached $10,000,000 or there abouts, he said. He admitted that he basn't the $10,000,000 himself but as serted that his anonymous associate could easily supply it. "We are not going to have any bedrooms on that boat," said he earnestly. "Of course, there will be staterooms in which anyone who Is taken ill on board can be attended, but no other visitors can get rooms. The ship will be policed better than the best hotels. Much Patronage Expected. "We expect to get a lot of patron age from people who will reach the vessel at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morn ing, coming out after the theater. It will be very romantic and all that."

OGS are a good deal like a lot of men in this world. If they ee a likely looking chicken they'll get out onthe chase and keep it up unt'l they nab the chicken or until somebody comes along and breaks up the party. But the chicken-chasing habit is excusable in dogs, even though it is not in men, and a canine cannot be held guilty of trespass if in it chicken-chasing endeavors it happens to run across strange lawns and into strange yards. Such were the conclusions of Munic ipal Judge Rossman yesterday at the conclusion of the trial of 'Fred Hollister, charged with stabbing an English setter dog belonging to John Borgman. The animal was badly injured and required the services of a veterinary. Hollister Bought to excuse himself by saying the dog kept running across the lawn which he was trim ming In chasing a chicken, and it was then that Judge Rossman's philosophy concerning the habits of men and dogs in the same avocation was given. Hollister declared that the blow was accidental and that he had no intention of striking the dog. Upon his agreement to pay the veterinary bill. Judge Rossman continued sent ence until March 16. If by that time Hollister has reached a settlement wUh the dog's master nothing fur ther will be done Jack Howie, a typical Irishman and a familiar police court character, wants his release from the county jail where he is serving a six-month "hitch" for vagrancy, in order that he might properly celebrate St. Pat rick's day. And so anxious Is he to "win his freedom that ' he will promise to shake the dust of Portland from his heels for all time to come and seek out new pastures for his improvi dent, happy-go-lucky nature. His unique appeal for freedom was received through the mail yesterday by Judge Rossman. It reads l'ke this: Hon. George Rossman, Dear Sir The 17th of March is held in memory of the man who ordered the snakes to leave Ireland, and made them crawl out. Let us assume that Portland Is Ireland, you are St. Patrick, and I am the snake. "Unlike St. Patrick, you won't have to order me to leave or drive me out. and I will not crawl. I'll fly if you give me the opportunity, and will bother you no more." But Jack's past record is cluttered up with unredeemed promises to Judge Rossman. and it is more than 1'kely that be will have to be con tent with his St. Patrick's day cele bration up in the county jail. A little "hunch" plus a bit of detective work on the part of Detec tive Horack brought about the arrest of Alvin Butler, bad check artist, who was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail after he had pleaded guilty before Judge Rossman yester day. Horack was walking near Third and Pine streets when he spied a man leaning up against a restaurant building, busily writing. Horack drew near. He saw that the stranger was making out a check. Then be gan the sleuthing. Horack followed the suspect for several blocks and saw him enter another restaurant. Butler tossed the check down on the counter, made some plausible excuse for his appearance, and stood by while the cashier started to count out $12, the amount of the check. Then Horack appeared. He ordered the cashier not to cash the check until he had a chance' to talk with Butler. It took but a few moments to wrng a confession from the man that the "check was spurious. His arrest and subsequent jail sentence quickly followed. Canned heat is all right for Its purpose,- but as a drink it "just ain't." Such is the declaration of Martin Van Alst, who admitted to Judge Rossman tlfkt he had become gloriously drunk on a few cans of the liquid heat in tin cans. The court thought it would take about three days of jailhouse life to put the prisoner on his feet once more. time, had become desperately low in finances, until finally one of Fatima's sons negotiated a $2000 loan on the lamous gem. That was in November. Since then the fortunes of the Fatima household have made a rapid descent of the social scale. They moved from one hotel to another, and when discovered by the Salva tion Army.' were living in squalor in a tenement on the east side. Finally government authorities hinted to the British consulate that since Afghan istan was a British protectorate that country should assume responsibility for the princess and her family. Since then she has been a "guest" of the British government, living in a two-rooms-with-bath apartment on Lex ington avenue. The princess will wear her nose jewel back to Afghanistan, but the big diamond will remain in a. safe deposit vault here to await settle ment of the demands of her creditors and customs officials.

CHEST BENEFIT SLATED WRESTLIXG SIATCH TO BE HELD TO RAISE FUNDS. Oscar Butler Already Has Offered Services, but Opponent Has Kot Yet Been Found. Interest in the community chest wrestling benefit, to be held late this month, is growing. It appears that matches of the maximum class will be served up to wrestling fans on the date finally picked. Oscar Butler, known" throughout the northwest' as one of the leading exponents of the grappling game, has offered his services for the chest benefit. Butler is in the welding busi ness and when the occupational. group recanvass for the chest reached him, he suggested that he was not only willing to give money to help fill the chest., but would give his services. This offer was accepted at once, as it was believed a match in which he is one of the performers would be pro ductive of a quite substantial sum for the chest and would, Butler felt cer tain, raise more money for the cause than he felt able to give in cash. Butler is one of the best-known middleweight grapplers In this part of the world, and hs has a loyal fol lowing of fans who will not fail to see him perform whenever he Is matched. These supporters, too, are confident ha cannot be bested. Who Butler will be sent against Is not yet known. Distinterested per sons, probably sporting editors of the Portland papers, will be asked to line up opponents for Butler, as well as for Ted Thye, also a volunteer for the chest benefit, and other wrestlers who will appear. . Just what day the benefit matches will be staged will await the con venience of the participants In the fracas and it will also depend upon open dates at the armory, where the attraction will be staged. As soon as is possible, the card will be announced, so that followers of the game will have an opportunity to form their own ideas on the attrac tion. Chest campaign officials believe they will be able to offer a wrestling programme of unusual merit and the entire proceeds will go to the various local charities supported by the chest.
