W.v STATES COME INTO CLASH (Continued From First Pas fisherman from the State of Washington and test the law on that basis, but I can rot see where we can comply with that request. Unless Governor Mead has a more definite request to submit at the conference he has arranged wit a me to morrow, as Governor of Oregon I shall continue to insist on the enforcement of the laws and their provisions as they have been enacted by the people of this state. We maintain that the Uws so enacted gve Oregon concurrent Jurisdiction on the waters of the Columbia from shore to shore." COMES OX PEACE MISSION Governor Mead Expects Amicable Settlement or Interstate Fight. TACO.MA. Wash.. Sept. 12. Special.) Governor Mead is certain that the trou ble between the Washington fishermen and the Oregon authorities can be ami cably and speedily settled and that there will be a minimum of ill feeling between the two states. "I am on my way to Portland on a mission of peace." said Governor Mead to night. 'Governor Chamberlain wired me today that he will meet me in conference at Portland in the morning and I trust a settlement can be effected withm 24 hours. "The present trouble on. the Columbia grows out of recent changes made by Ore gon In Its fish and game laws. As I un derstand It. certain questions governing fish and game have been submitted to the people by virtue of Initiative and ref erendum operative in the stats and cer tain changes with which I am not fami liar have been made In the game laws. At any rate an Oregon Judge has held that the waters of the Columbia are un der the Jurisdiction of Washington and Oregon and the Supreme Court has sus tained the ruling. "The exact cause of the present breach I do not know. That Is what I am going to Portland to ascertain. It appears that this is the closed season in Oregon and such being the case fishing operations in the Columbia sre Illegal for citisens of that state. Friday night, when Washing ton fishermen attempted to operate in the river they were Informed that they could not do so and Oregon deputies were landed on the Washington shore to en force the law. The situation was called to my attention by the County Attorney of Wahkiakum County today, and I Im mediately wired Governor Chamberlain asking that no arrests be made until a conference could be held. Governor Cham berlain wired back that he would not In terfere with the Oregon Fish Warden, but would confer with him In Portland tomorrow." Governor Mead declined to say what action will likely be taken in the matter. He seems confident, however, that satis factory adjustment can be effected. Test cases will probably be made and the controversy threshed out In the courts. Federal Court rulings of long standing make the boundary waters between the two states. Joint property and it does not appear at present that the contentions of Oregon will hold good. Governor Mead staled that be will remain on the Colum bia until the matter is entirely settled. ARRESTS ARE MADE DAILY Master Warden Is Active In Cam paign on River. Wholesale arrests both on the Upper and the Lower Columbia River are being made daliy by H. C. McAllister. Master Fish Warden, and his A-putles. Numerous violations of the fish laws enacted by the people, last June are being committed by fishermen along the river and arrest fol lows the detection of each offender. As rapidly as they are arrested either the fisherman individually or his employer furnishes bonds for his appearance before the grand (ury. prior to the meeting of the State Circuit Court. Being released, they promptly resume their unlawful operations on the river to the annoyance of Mr. McAllister and his corps of as sistants. Descending the Columbia River Friday night. Deputy Fish Wardens L. A. Rail and 3- Stevens confiscated three set nets In the Columbia, between Bonneville and Rooster Rock. Together with the nets 150 pounds of salmon were seized. The fish was sold to the Covach Fish Company at current prices as provided in the law. T. J. Seufert, brother of S. A. Seufert. the wealthy canneryman of The Dalles, was arrested yesterday for having fish unlawfully in his possession. F. A. Seufert is openly violating the laws by operating his fish wheels on the Wash ington side of the river with which to supply his cannery at The Dallea, but he will be arrested as soon as he can be reached by the deputies who are patrol Ing the river under the direction of Mr. McAllister. Mr. Seufert either owns or controls all of the boats available at The Dalles, where it is a difficult task to cross the Columbia. Mr. Seufert makes no attempt to deceli-e the Oregon authori ties of his operstions on the river, for he has repeatedly advised them that he pro poses to follow his vocation on the river In defiance of the prohibitory laws, adopted by the people at the last general election. Mr McAllister yesterday Intended to go up the Columbia River personally to In vestigate conditions but he was detained because of office business. Accompanied by an adequate force of deputies he will leave this morning for The Dalles and neighboring points on the upper river, where he proposes to place under arrest all persons caught violating the laws either on the Oregon or the Washington side of the Columbia. So numerous have been the arrests on the lower river that Deputy District At torney Howard M. Brownell, of Astoria, has had more business than he could at tend to However, men accused of un lawful fishing are being held, in custody pending their appearance before the Dis trict Attorney or his deputy, when they are required to give bonds for thels ap pearance before the State Circuit Court where the initial attempt will be made to test the constitutionality of the laws which prohibit fishing on the Columbia River and its tributaries. MAKING ARRESTS AT ASTORIA Gillnetters Taken Into Custody for Violations or Fishing Laws. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) In formations were filed in the Justice Court today by W. A. Mack. Deputy Fish and Game Warden, charging Amel Finne. Matt Blrkley and Albert Bkog with fishing In the Columbia River on September 11 with glllnets over 150 fathoms In length and over 4 1- fathoms deep. , An information was filed by Deputy Warden Brown against Holden Vog. a glllnetter. charging him with a similar offense on September 11 Vog holds a Washington stste license snd Is fishing for Megler. All will be arraigned and released on bonds to appear before the Circuit Court grand Jury. Last evening Deputy Brown presented Informations against Sandy George. James Ramsey and John Ella, charging them with violations of the fisheries law on September 10. but Justice Goodman would not issue the warrants, holding that ss the new Intlatlve law says "From and after September 10." it was not effective before September 11. Charges against a number of trappers for violating the law have been submitted to the Deputy District Attorney and will probably be filed on Monday. MEAD'S PATIENCE IS AT END Determined, He Says, to Protect Rights of Washington Fishermen. BPiTTI.E Sent 1i I ftoeclal. ) That the patience of Governor Mead, of Washing ton. Is about exnausien concerning um troubles arising from fishing disputes on the Cplumbla River became manifested ..hn v.- fallen F'.sh Commissioner Link Burton into conference and decided to go to Portland to confer with the Gov ernor and Attorney-General of Oregon. Prior to his departure Governor Mead de clared that if. to establish order on the i.. m ki ntvm- ami nrnterr Washington fishermen. It was necessary to call out the militia, he wouia ao so. Governor Mead has a precedent in this established by the late Governor Rogers when during the Sand Island troubles on the Columbia River in 1SK5. Rogers sent a detail of mtlltla men, under command of Captain James Adams, to the Colum bia to preserve order. Complaints have been constantly received by Governor Mead from fishermen on the Washington side of the Columbia River and these have become so aggravated that the Gov ernor decided forthwith to lay the whole question before the Oregon executive and. Attorney-General and ascertain the chances of an amicable settlement. The conflicts of Oregon and Washing ton fishermen have been a question for legislators of both states to wrestle with for years. Many suits have been brought and the case of Jurisdiction of Oregon officials Is now before the Supreme Court . v. iinff Aji fataten Governor Mead it is oi nc v . - , declared has come to the conclusion that some action must be taken to protect Washington fishermen and that if pos sible a dividing line must be established on the Columbia through an amicable settlement of the troubles. MEAD MAY CALL OCT TROOPS Washington's Governor Determined to Protect Fishermen. OLYMPIA. Wash., Sept. 12. (Special.) Governor Mead will leave this evening for Portland to hold a conference with Governor Chamberlain for the purpose of adjusting what appears to be a conflict between Washington fisher men on the Columbia River and the Oregon authorities. Fish Commissioner John L. Rlseland and Deputy Commis sioner Link Burton will accompany the Governor, and Attorney-General John D. Atkinson will also attend the confer ence. It is stated that Mead threatens to call out the militia to protect Waeh lngon's licensed flsherrmsn from arrest on the river by Oregon authorities.

The grand Jury has returned indictments against six alleged horse thieves; two men have been Indicted for perjury and one for subornation of perjury.

The names Pianola and Aeolian Co. must both appear upon the Piano player or else it isn't a Pianola at all. The word Pianola is NOT a generic term. , Piano-Play ers in general can NOT be referred to as Pianolas. It is not fair to yourself or to the Pianola to make this mistake. v The same distinction is even more important in the case of the Pianola Piano. The only pianos in which are incorporated the genfcine Pianola are the WEBER, the STECK, the WHEELOCK and the STUYVESANT. Other so-called "player-pianos," no matter what degree of merit they may possess as pianos, must necessarily contain some other "player" of far less prestige and far less value, musically and mechanically, than the Pianola.
