The first auto libel proceedings
hrniierht in Oregon under the na-
ti.noi prohibition act. were com
pleted yesterday when Federal
Judge W Overtoil signed a formal
order directing the United States
marshal to proceed with the sale
of a car in which Leo Lemm, Astoria
resident, was delivering a quantity
nf moonshine Julv 14.
A a result of this action and
advices received from eastern courts,
federal prohibition authorities have
announced a x;amgain of confisca
tion that will be directed against
any commercial vehicle used in the
liaunr traffic. By terms of recent
decisions, owners of for-hire cars,
toxicabs and trucks are liable to
suffer the confiscation of their
property if employes use these ma
chines In transporting illicit liquor.
The law, as based on these decisions,
will be enforced vigorously, Na
tional Prohibition Director Linville
announced yesterday.
Drys Claim Victory.
The confiscation of the Lerara au
tomobile is considered a distinct vic
tory by the dry. forces. The ques
tion of ownership of the machine,
raised at the time of its seizure,
was dropped when it was announced
that the persons claiming the prop
erty would be forced to take the
witness stand in the federal court
and present their claims under oath.
Lemm was arrested by prohlbi
. itlon officers at Astoria as he was
completing the delivery of a sup
ply of moonshine to a pool hall. He
said that the machine was the prop
" erty of his brother. x
Lemm appeared in the federal
court here August 1, pleaded guilty
to violating the prohibition law and
was fined $100. The libel proceed
ings against the car were started
immediately.
When the libel case was called in
Judge Wolverton's court yesterday
no one appeared to press any claim
for the machine and the order for
its confiscation and sale followed.
The machine will be advertised for
six weeks, then sold by the mar
shal at public auction, the pro
ceeds going into the treasury.
Decisions Are Quoted.
Decisions of Federal Judge West
ernhover of the district of northern
Ohio are tcv be used by prohibition
officials in a continuance of .the
war on machines used for boot- j
legging purposes. In this case the j
court condemned and ordered sold j
a taxicab in which a quantity of li
quor was being transported. The
fact, that the owners of the machine,
a large corporation operating more
than 100 such cars, were innocent
of any knowledge that their prop
erty was being used for illegal pur
poses did not enter into the case,
the court held. The taxi driver, the
decision stated, was the agent of
the company, and the corporation
was bound by his actions.
Local taxicab and for-hire car-
owners were warned yesterday by
Dr Linville that they will be held
responsible for the actions of their
employes.
Law Declared Clear.
"The law, as laid down by Judge
w esternhover, is clear, the local
dry chief stated. "While we do not
wish to inflict any injustice or un
usual punishment on any property
owner, the only thing for the own
ers of these commercial vehicles
to do is to see that their employes
do not use their cars for illegal
purposes.
"We have no option In these cases.
Any car in which liquor is trans
ported becomes the property of the
United States and, as such, we must
put the matter up to the courts.
Our success in confiscating this
Lemm automobile opens the way for
a general campaign against vehicles
used in the liquor traffic."
RUM JOINT IS "TAPPED"
Entrance Gained Through Signal
Brings Woe to Bootleggers.
Tapping literal and not figura
tive tapping developed as -an art
by prohibition sleuths, (brought
more grief to H. C. Porter and J. H.
Harris, proprietors of a small Vlub"
at 106 Sixth street, than did the
nocturnal tapping of the mysterious1
bird in jfidgar Allen Poe's "The
Raven."
The raven's tapping brought spir
itual discomfort; the dry sleuths'
tapping was responsible for a trip
to the county jail yesterday after
noon by the two club owners.
It all happened because entrance
was to be gained to the "club" only
through a certain signal, tapped on
the doors of the club. The pro
hibition sleuth, through an in
former, learned this secret. Yester
day afternoon he called at the club,
rapped on the door and was ad
mitted. Inside, he purchased fir3t
a drink of moonshine and then a
bottle of the liquor.
The display of his badge and the
trip to jail followed. Porter and
Harris have been formally charged
with violating the prohibition law.

ROAD INSPECTION ENDED
Jovernor Hart and Party Return
l'Yom Survey of Highways.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 3. (Spe
cial.) After covering 1270 miles of
state road in six days.t Governor
Hart and State Treasurer Babcock
of the state highway committee and
James Allen, supervisor of high
ways, returned to Olympia yester
day. Practically the entire mileage
of the Sunset. Inland Empire and
Central Washington highways was
coverea on trie trip and many con
struction contracts were inspected.
The officials found the highways
in excellent shape, especially in
eastern Washington, where most of
tne roads are gravel or macadam,
in view of the heavy travel of the
summer and the long period of dry
weather.
The results of the season's work
demonstrated the benefits of plac
ing state highway maintenance
under the control of the state high
way department, as was done by
the last 'legislature, the officla.s
said. They report that contractors
working on various highway jobs
generally are making good progress
and will finish their contracts
within the time limit.
Prelate to Give Talk
World Vision and
World Progress.
A city-wirle mass meeting of
Methodists will be held Sunday
night at 7:30 at the municipal
auditorium when Bishop Homer C.
Stuntz, who is making a speaking
tour of the United States, will speak
on the subject "The World Vision
and the World Progress." The Ep
worth league chapters of the city
will hold a joint devotional meeting
at the same place at 6 o'clock and
Portland district Epworthians will
form a chorus choir for the mass
meeting following.
Bishop Stuntz is known as a trav
eler and church worker. He was a
missionary to -India in 1885-1895
and was founder and superintendent
of Methodist work in the Philip
pine islands. He is one of the cor
responding secretaries of the board
of foreign missions and was elected
bishop in the church in 1912. He
is a personal friend of William
Howard Taft. He also possessed a
close acquaintanceship with Rud
yard Kipling and is an interpreter
of his writings.
All city pastors and churches are
planning to co-operate for the mass
meeting, said Dr. W. W. Youngson,
is lying in the police hospital there j
wnn a Duuec wound in ine nip. xve
calling his escape last January from
the city jail in Dunsmuir, Cal.,
where he was arrested on a charge
of stealing Pullman blankets, local
police were inclined to believe that
he attempted another escape in the
east and came to grief.
Action to bring the man back to
Portland will hinge on the results
of a complete investigation of his
record. The Vogler holdup was ac
complished as the man had closed
his carage and set out for his home
at 525 Montgomery drive. He was
accosted by an a.rmed pair, one of
whom presentedt a gun for his in
spection and then black-jacked him.

Years and Utmost Skill Declared
Expended in Preparing
Dies and Plates.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Oct. 3. A gang: of
counterfeiters, alleged "to have
swindled the federal government out
of $10,000,000 In the last year, is aid
to be operating throughout Illinois.
It is said the original headquarters
of the gang was in Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., where the spurious mon-ey was
manufactured. Government experts
say years and the utmost skill must
have been expended in preparing
the dies, plates and other parapher
nalia. - ,
The gang specializes in three type
of bills the $5 silver certificates
of . 1899, the $10 bank note of 1903
and the $20 bank note -issued by the
Grand Rapids (Mich.) National City
bank, series of 1902.
According to information in the
hands of the government, the gang
is made up of 20 o-r more Italians
and Sicilians. . They frequent small
towns, but never remain more than
24 hours. Passing as much of the
spurious currency as they can, thy
pas-s on quickly to new fields.
Always, the government records
show, the gang work3 a curved
route throughout the state, seldom
hitting the large, towns. Spring
field and Danville banks reported
today they, had taken in some of the
counterfeit bills. It is said the small
banks in the state have been s-tung
for considerable sums, as the coun
terfeits are excellent reproductions,
requiring an expert to detect, them.

A Gump-for-Congress club was
organized by friends and admirers
of Andrew Gump last nigbt at Rich's
cigar emporium, ana it was deter
mined to put up an active and ag
gressive fight for this well-known
citizen.
- Colonel Bush of Bull Run, who
has long been a prominent figure In
politics, was elected president of
the Gump-for-Congress club. Can
didate Gump, himself, was present
and personally jjasted a large litho
graphed portrait of himself on the
post at the entrance f the meeting
place.
"In Andrew Gump-affectionately
known as Andy," stated Colonel
Bush, "we have a man 'of the plain
people and in this district there is
none other so well or favorably
known. We point with pride to his
record.. His life is an open book.
He never straddles an issue. .You
know where you can find him every
morning. Remember this, fellow
citizens, Andy Gump wears no man's
collar. He is 100 per cent for the
people
"Not One cent is being contributed
to his campaign by anyone but him
self. He is not a Neb, but a free
spender for legitimate campaign
purposes."
Mrs. Toots Zander offered to take
charge of the women's department,
explaining that she is an old friend
of the Gumps.
"Andy, or rather I should say Mr.
Gump," explained Mrs. ZandeF,
blushing prettily, "is a man of con
siderable means. I know where he
got every dollar he has. I sent him
a contribution, which he returned,
with thanks. His uncle. Bimbo
Gump, the most wealthy man in
Australia, would spend anysum to
see his nephew in congress", but
Andy I mean Candidate. Gump in
sists that he will finance his own
campaign so that when he takes his
seat at Washington no one not
even a relative will have him un
der obligations."
Colonel Bush announced that in
view of this stand of Mr Gump, the
plan to ask everyone to "give a dol
lar and a vote" to the Gump cam
paign would be abandoned. That
Mr. Gump may explain, more in de
tail.liis ideas on the issues of the
campaign, the Gump-for-Conirress
club is tentatively figuring on hold
ing a non-partisan dinner in the
near future. A speakers' bureau Ir
also contemplated, for the purpose
of the newly-formed organization is
to give Mr. Gump a run for his
money.-

Why Portland
Started
Something
Agreeable to promise,' we
present the reason why Port
land is a prominent source of
enthusiasm for "exterior
home-beauty."
For every natural effect there is a logical cause. Port
land's climate is moderate and wet when other climates are
cold and dry. What could be more'natural than for Nature
to select Portland for a place in which to develop orna-
mental evergreen shrubs ? And what is easier to' plant,
easier to care for and more attractive in the garden the
year 'round than evergreen shrubs? The employment of
these resources by Portland people was a natural sequence.
The result is, wherever you see a beautiful home in Port
land, you see it beautified with ornamental shrubs.
Watch- ihis space Monday for
something new and beautiful
in evergreen shrubs that we
will feature this fall.
