THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 20, 1914. 17 'WATERFRONT ACT IS CALLED VICIOUS E. E. Coovert Assails Jackson Wiulkey Amendment, Which Is to Be on Ballot. CONFISCATION IS SEEN Attacker Denies Interest as Lawyer in Case and Puts Questions to Proponents About Effect on Owners, Farmers and Others. That the so-called waterfront amend ment to be voted on by the people In No vember is confiscatory In purpose and therefore pernicious; that It Is uncon stitutional; is freak legislation and should not be carried at the polls, are charges made against the measure by E. B. Coovert, who has long- studied the legal aspect of tideland titles and xi Inr and rlnarlon Y-lcrhK In discussing the arguments of spon sors for the amendment, Mr. Coovert asks that they set forth clearly what the results of this act will mean to manufacturing plants seeking water frontage for location, to farmers who ship their produce by boat from their farm InnHlne-R. tn seine fishermen on the Columbia River and the effect on unsold, and undeveloped tidelands on navigable rivers to which, it appears, the state will be prevented from giv ing title. Title Query Aaked, He also asks those behind the bill to set forth what will become of the title to unimproved lots on the water front of Portland and Astoria, and also if the clause In the measure to the ef fect that the state can never be di- vested of ownership by decree of any court is not an attempt to place the ill effects of the proposed law beyond jurisdiction of the courts. He also asks detailed Information as to the remnant of waterfront spoken of as having been left to the state after the grant of 1874-7B. Mr. Coovert said: "I dislike to be drawn into a news paper controversy. I had no idea of starting somethinar when I sent to the editor of The Oregonian my humble views on the Jackson-Mulkey water front amendment. The next day. the Journal startled me with an editorial, under the caption "Coovert vs. Coovert,' which made me realize how it would seem to be sued for a divorce. Friday's Journal brought forth from Mr. Mulkey a Ions assignment of errors-; mine, based mostly on a failure on his part to observe a punctuation mark in my letter. Interest as Attorney i Denied. "I said that the proposed measure would have no effect whatever on the rights of shore owners on the "Willam ette River, down to low-water mark, as being contrary to the Federal Consti tution. The unsettled question was if the ineasure passes what right would the state or city have to con struct a dock between a. shore owner's low-water line and navigation line, without compensation, even though' the shore owner had never erected a dock? "Will Mr. Mulkey answer? "Mr. Mulkey's rumors, that I am at torney for waterfront owners, are false. jviy daily associates Know 1 have no clients Interested in waterfront prop erty. But voters are not concerned in my interests. They want to know what this proposed measure is and what will be its effect. Act la Quoted. "Here It Is: 'The beds of the navi gable waters of the State of Oregon, at bank-full stage, are hereby declared subject to public use for water com merce, navigation and improvement in aid thereof. The state's title thereto is in trust, for the benefit of the people, and Is hereby declared to be perpet ual and forever inalienable. . . nor shall the state by any claim based upon the filling or reclamation of sub merged lands, or by any grant, license, franchise, permit, equitable estopple, adverse possession, judgment or decree of any court, act of omission, or com mission of any Government agency, or otherwise, ever be divested or absolved of its trust to maintain said beds for aald streams, at bank-full stage, sub ject to public use for the benefit of said water commerce, navigation or Im provements in aid thereof." Title Deemed "Valid. "The shore land In Portland and ex tending to the mouth of the Willam ette, amounting in value to more than $20,000,000. was granted in 1874-6 to the upland owners whose title thereto, to low-water mark, is valid and unques tioned. In addition the owner has the riparian right of access to navigation. He may go in"ITJMT'(m a raft or swim. This shore land, with all riparian rights, cannot be taken without com pensation. The most valuable of this In Portland is on the "West Side, from Ankeny street to Madison street, the value of which I should roughly esti mate up -into the millions and there the low-water mark is almost identical with the harbor or navigation line. The "bank-full stage' above would in clude practically all land of wharflng or waterfront value. Now it will be seen that the measure attempts to re-Invest the state with all shore land in Portland, as well as in all navigable waters of the state, up to bank-full stage, which means up to ordinary high-water or vegetation line, and without compensation. Confiscation Is interpreted. "This, if effective, will confiscate all shore lands, up to bank-full stage granted to the upland owner on the Willamette River, under the grant of 1S74-6. The only compensation pro vided for, being where docks are taken within city limits, erected on sub merged lands, under the franchise act of 1S62. "If this can be done the proposed measure is pernicious, and should not pass. "If it cannot be done as I attempted to point out in my letter, the intent is pernicious the measure is freak legis lation and should not pass. "Will Mr. Mulkey say what effect the passage of this amendment will have on shore owners' title on the Willamette River: also where such owner has paid several hundred thou sand dollars for waterfront property, say below the railroad docks on the West Side, and reaching from bank full stage to low water, and has never erected a structrre thereon will this measure confiscate it? Astoria Caae Referred to. "Also, what will become of the title to thousands of dollars' worth of wa ter lots in the waterfront of Portland, platted between the low water line and harbor line, upon which no structures have ever been built? What about the many valuable unimproved lots in Scow Bay. In Astoria, platted between the low water line and harbor Hne? Will these be confiscated? "Will Mr. Mulkey answer? "If the stats Is prohibited from dis posing of any more lands below bank full stage, what will become of all the unsold, undeveloped tidelands on our navigable streams near the coast? The state will never so Into the diking business, and no one will go to that ex pense unless he gets title. Let Mr. Mulkey answer. "If a manufacturing concern desires to locate on the waterfront of the Co lumbia River for mill or other purposes requiring large waterfront area, if this measure passes, on which side will he BO on the Oregon or Washington? Farmers' Plight Areaed. "Will the farmers along: the Willam ette who for 50 years have Bhipped their produce from docks and mud landings below bank full , stage be compelled hereafter to lease this privi lege from the state? "What about the seining grounds in the Columbia, heretofore purchased from the state, that change every year by accretions will they be deprived of their accretions, and be compelled to lease from the state, in order to operate their seines? Will Mr. Mulkey answer? "What Is the meaning of the clause HEALTHY SPECIMEN FOURTH - tiK.MJRATION OS TRIP. Little Harold Judd 1-ish. whose mother, grandmother and great- grandmother are all living, has Just left Oregon with his. mother for a visit in Idaho. The boy is the son of Harold Judd Fish, of The Dalles,, his grandfather being Judd Fish. ex Mayor, of that city. He is -a ne phew of Mrs. John D. Twohy, Jr., .formerly of Portland, and now of Spokane. in the measure to the effect that no judgment or decree of any court will ever divest the state of this ownership in trust? Is it not an attempt to place the vicious effect of the measure be yond the aid of the law of the land as administered in our courts of justice? "Will Mr. Mulkey answer? "And finally, will the Journal man kindly explain what the remnant of waterfront consists of which was left to the state after the grant of 1874-6 unimproved shore land dawn to low water on the Willamette, unimproved submerged land between low water and navigation line on the Willamette, or unsold shore land outside the Wil lamette r ' HIGH SHRINERS COMING ROYALTY OP ORDER DUE TO AR RIVE HERE TUESDAY.

Immunizing - Is Not Accurate. More trouble over the order issued, by the City Health Department that all children not vaccinated must remain away from the four schools in the Mount Scott district until the end of this week is expected tomorrow morn ing when the schools open for their second week. A number of parents of the district still are up In arms against the propo sition despite the fact that City Health Officer Marcellus has announced that he Intends to carry out his original plan. ' School medical inspectors will be at the schools in the morning to conduct a further investigation of the condi tions. So - that the health department will be within the- law. Dr. Marcellus says a personal investigation of the case of each child will be made, if de manded. Children living anywhere near a place where there has been smallpox will be excluded. A statement, signed by V. E. Will ings. W. O. Powell.-1 C Little and C. W. Wells, purporting to be a commit tee representing the parents of Mount Scott opposed to the vaccination order, was issued yesterday. It reads: "The parents opposed to vaccination will not 'back up", on the stand they have taken, that pur children are be ing excluded unjustly and without re gard to the law in the case: that the order is arbitrary, and was so admitted by the Mayor, the City Attorney and Dr. Marcellus when met by the com mittee; that we insist on our right of schooling for our children, regardless of their being vaccinated or not; that it was agreed that the children were to return to school this coming Mon day, September 21; that we insist on this promise being fulfilled; that the contention of Dr. Marcellus as stated In the press that the majority are not opposed U vaccination M untrue tha Morgan $4.D0 C e n ter Table, $0 CC in mahogany finish, 9iUd $17.50 Fine Mahoptany Center Table now Cf on sale for. 01 idU $8 Mahogany Center DC Table now for PtiQd $8 Center Table, In quarter sawed golden oak, CO QC, now for didd - Base Dl nine the royal oak, six $23.50 .Golden Oak Morris Chairs of the push-C I C flfl button type. now...

PENSION SEEKER ACCUSED Tacoma Woman Arrested on Perjury Charge but Iater Freed. TACOMA. Wash, Sept. 19. (Special.) Mrs. Ora G. Staples, charged with perjury by swearing in Superior Judge Clifford's court February 6 that she was destitute in order to get a moth er's pension of $20. was arrested today by Chief Probation Officer Healey on ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS tVlne-tentha of All Stomach Trouble Said to Be Uue to Aeidltr. A Physician's Advice on Cause and Core. A famous physician whose successful researches into the cause and cure of stomach and Intestinal diseases have earned for him an international reputa tion, said In the course of a recent lec ture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, were directly traceable to a de ranged condition of the stomach which In turn was due nine times out of ten to excessve acidity, commonly termed sour stomach or heartburn, which not only Irritated and inflamed the delicate lining of the stomach, but also set up gastritis and stomach ulcers. It Is inter esting to note that he condemns the use of patent medicines as well as of medical treatment for the stomach, stating that he and his colleagues have secured re markable results by the use of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by neutral izing the acidity of the food, removes the source of the trouble. He contends that It is as foolish to treat the stom ach Itself as it would be for a man who stepped on a tack to rub liniment On the foot without first removing the tack. Remove the tack and the foot will heal Itself neutralize the acid and the stomach troubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treat ments are useless, so long as the con tents of the stomach remain acid; re move the acidity, and there will be no need for medicine the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itBelf. Sufferers from acidity, sour stomach or heartburn should get a small bottle of bisurated magnesia from their drug gist, and take a teaspoonful in a quar ter of a glass of hot or cold water after meals, repeating in fifteen min utes, if necessary, this being the dose whieh the doctor has found most effiask- I cious ln ail cases Adv. $35 Chiffonier, of finest quarter - sawed CI 7 C fl golden oak, now. .
