ESPIONAGE ACT HAS
STRICT PENALTIES
Fines, Imprisonment ana
Death Provided for Trea
sonable Actions.
PRESIDENT'S POWER LARGE
Wilful Causing of Mutiny or of Ob
struction to Enlistment Carries
Fine to $10,000 and Im
prisonment to 2 0 Xears. '
An official copy of the new espionage
act. which was passed by Congress on
June 15, and is now in full effect, has
just been received by Clarence L.
Reames, United States Attorney for the
District of Oregon.
In a formal statement yesterday, Mr.
Reames explained the provisions of the
new act and commented on its purpose.
He gave warning, also, that under the
espionage law, acts that would be en
tirely permissible in ordinary times
may now be punished by death or long
imprisonment.
In his statement, Mr. Reames said:
Powers Are Sweeping.
"The act of Congress, approved June
15, 1917. known as the Espionage act
and entitled an act to punish acts and
all interference with foreign relations,
foreign commerce and better to enforce
the criminal laws of the United States
Is far reaching in effect and places in
the hands of the President and his ap
pointive officers the power to punish
as treasonable in times of war many
acts which would not be crimes In
times of peace. I am sure that every
officer of the Government appreciates
the responsibility of the enforcement of
this law to the end that the rights of
the United States and our people will
be efficiently protected, while, on the
other hand, the act will not be made
an excuse for tyranny.
"It is undoubtedly true that this Is
the first time when such large and
sweeping powers have been trusted
by a democratic people to their offi
cers. "By section 1 of the act. any per
son who, for the purpose of obtaining
information respecting the National
defense and who has reason to believe
that this information may be used to
the advantage of any forelsrn srovern-
; ment. shall enter or go upon any ves
i sel, work of defense, Navy-yard, coal
j ing station, fort, dock yard, canal, rail
i road, arsenal, amp, factory, mine, tele
, graph or signal station or any other
! building or place connected with the
t National defense or under the
of any officer of the United States or
any other place where any materials
of war are being manufactured, shall
be punished by a fine of not more than
10.000 and by imprisonment of not more
than two years.
Carelessness Is Punishable.
"Whoever for such purposes shall at
tempt to aid any other person to re
ceive from any source whatever any
document, writing, code, book. plan,
map or model connected with the Na
tional defense, or whoever being law
fully in the possession of any of said
property shall carelessly or negligently
permit it to be removed from its proper
place or custody or to be lost, stolen
or destroyed shall be subject to the
same punishment.
"Section 2 provides that whoever,
with the Intent or reason to believe
that it is to be used to the Injury of
the United States, shall communicate
or attempt to communicate or induce
any other person to communicate to
any foreign government or to any
party or military force within a for
eign country, whether recognized or
unrecognized by the United States, or
to any citizen of a foreign country, any
document whatsoever relating to the
National defense shall be punished by
imprisonment for not more than 20
years, and if such crime shall be com
mitted at any time when the United
States is at war such person shall be
punished either by death or imprison
ment for not more than 30 years.
Death Penalty Provided.
"Whoever in time of war. with intent
that the information shall be communi
cated to the enemy, shall publish or
elicit any information with respect to
the movement of the troops or war ma
terials of the United States, shall be
punished by death or Imprisonment not
to exceed 30 years."
Sections 3, 4 and 5 contain the most
important provisions of the espionage
act. These sections are as follows:
"Sec 3. Whoever,' when the United
States Is at war, shall wilfully make or
convey false reports or false state
ments, 'with intent to interfere with
the operation or success of the military
or naval forces of the United States, or
to promote the success of its enemies,
and whoever, when the United States
is at war. shall wilfully cause, or at
tempt to cause, insubordination, disloy
alty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the
military or naval forces of the United
States, . or shall wilfully obstruct the
recruiting or enlistment service of the
United States, to the injury of the
service or of the United States, shall
be punished by a fine of not more than
$10,000, or imprisonment for not more
than 20 years, or both.
Conspiracies Held Serious.
"Section 4. If two or more persons
conspire to violate the provisions of
sections two or three of this title, and
one or more of such persons does any
act to effect the- object of the con
spiracy, each of the parties to such
conspiracy shall be punished as in said
sections provided in the case of the
doing of the act the accomplishment of
which Is the object of such conspiracy.
Except as above provided conspiracies
to commit offenses under this title
shall be punished as provided by Sec
tion 37 of the Act to codify, nevlse, and
amend the penal laws of the United
States approved March 4, 1'J09, which
provides up to two years' imprison
ment and $10,000 fine, or both.
"Section 5 Whoever harbors or con
ceals any person who, he knows or has
reasonable grounds to believe - or
suspect, has committed or is about to
commit, an offense under this title
shall be punished by a fine of not more
than $10,000. or by imprisonment for
not more than two years, or both.
President Has Larare Perwera.
"The act also vests great discretion
ary power in the hands of the Presi
dent and his appointive officers rela
tive .to the .movement of vessels in
ports of the United States and the
seizure of arms and other articles of
war Intended for export.
"The act with great care safeguards
the issuance of passports and provides
a full and comprehensive coda for the
issuance of search warrants.-in order
that the act may be efficiently administered.
10 DAY MEET PLANNED
FRED T. HELULL. ARRANGING
OUTDOOR SPORTING EVENTS.
Round-Up to Be Combined With. Running-
Rica at Rose City Speed
way About State Fair Time.
Fred T. Merrill, manager of the Rose
City Speedway and Rose City Athletic
Club, is busy lining up a series of
outdoor sporting events for the Sum
mer and FalL
. One of his first cards for July may
be a boxing exhibition between Pete
Herman, bantamweight champion of
the world, and one of the best local
boys, either a bantamweight or feather
weight. If staged, the bout will be
held at the Speedway, in the open air,
in front of . the grandstand.
Merrill will leave Monday for Ash
land, Or, to attend the big Round-up
there and confer with Del Blanchard,
H. E. Briggs and Harry Owens, of the
Rouge River round-up committee, in
regard to staging a grand final Round
up and celebration in conjunction with
a 10-day running horse meet and car
nival to be pulled at the Speedway
just previous to or immediately after
the Oregon State Fair at Salem, the
date to be decided on later.
Harry Owens, of Ashland, owner of
a large string of racing and round-up
stock, left for California early last
week looking up several stables of
"bangtails,' and will be back in Ash
land Tuesday morning.
If possible, a combination of two or
three round-up aggregations will be
brought together here for the 10-day
meet. A relay race, two and one-half
miles to be run each day of the 10,
for a large cash purse, would be di
vided in this exciting event, besides
expensive championship medals.
It is said that over 200 running
horses would come to Portland for a
10-day meet, and a large carnival com
pany would be in the enclosure to add
to the crowds' entertainment.
The railway companies have a spe
cial 10-dcy rate under advisement and
the Chamber of Commerce will be
asked to co-operate.

SUBWOOD TO FILL
SHORTAGE IN FUEL
Danger of Scarcity Said to Be
Staved Off by Activity of
All Mills in District.
SPECULATORS AT WORK
Bad Condition of Roads In Spring
and Lack of Cheap Labor Keep
Cat of Cordwood Far Below
. City's Normal Requirement,
If any of Portland's fuel dealers are
holding reserve supplies of slabwood
or fir. with the Intent of hoarding until
a Winter shortage shall create high
and unusual prices for fuel, they are
destined to disappointment. In the
opinion of men who are familiar with
the situation. ,
Slabwood from the busy mills of
i
VAST YARD OF SEASONED SLABWOOD, OWNED BY HOLMAN FUEL COMPANY, AT YARDS OF
INMAN-POULSEN LUMBER COMPANY'S MILL.
i
Oregon and Washington, working at
high speed on the production of lum
ber for shipbuilding, will be the an
swer to such an attempt. A larger
amount of slabwood. which is in gen
eral use for all domestic fuel purposes,
is now being- produced than ever be
fore. The present price of green slabwood.
which customarily is bought by the
consumer early enough to dry before
using. Is sufficient to warrant the im
portation of the great supply from the
many river mills and from various lum
ber milling points in Oregon and Wash
ington. If the fuel situation becomes acute,
through manipulation of the slabwood
market, steps will be taken to Interest
the City Council In the importation of
this supply, which is ample to prevent
exorbitant prices in the local market.
Demand In Heavy.
Approximately 10 acres of the In man -Poulsen
Lumber Company's yards, at
the foot of East Caruthers street, is
ranked deep with piles of well-seasoned
slabwood and blocks, the fuel
by-product of the big mill. The total
runs into many thousands of cords and
is the property of the Holman Fuel
Company, which has contracted wtth
the mill for its entire output of fuel.
Fuel dealers of the city declare that
a fuel shortage exists. B. F. Holman,
president of the Holman Fuel Com
pany, yesterday declared that his com
pany had booked all the orders for
slabwood that it could fill for at least
three months to come, and that It was
taking orders for only one item at
present, that of green blocks, fresh
from the saw.
When his attention was called to the
reserve supply at the mill. Mr. Holman
said that there was no demand for dry
slabwood at this season, owing to the
advanced price over green. The piles
at the mill woodyard are weathered
with seasoning and show no signs of
recent depletion.
Entire Supply Purchased.
The great woodyard at the Inman
Poulsen mill is stocked mainly with
seasoned slabwood and blocks. Of the
slabwood there are, approximately, 40
piles, stretching a block in length and
between 10 and 12 feet in height. At
the mill offices it was said that the
entire stock of the woodyard, as well
as the dally fuel output of the mill, is
under contract to the Holman Fuel
Company. Mr. Holman said that the
yard contained at least 7000 cords of
slabwood.
-We are turning out more fuel, slabs
and blockwood. than ever before." said
one employe, "as the mill is running at
high capacity. The same Is true of
other mills."
It has been declared by fuel dealers
that the supply of green slabwood was
being ordered faster than It was pro
duced and that. In consequence, much
green slabwood- would of necessity be
burned next Winter.
The Holman stock of seasoned wood
at the Inman-Poulsen mill would ap
pear to be an important fraction of the
supply of slabwood. Mr. Holman says
that it was piled In the months of
March and April, while green, when
the demand was for dry wood, owing to
the inability of the purchaser to season
trie green wood for immediate use. The
seasoned wood is not included in the
orders which the Holman Fuel Com
pany declares it is behind with.
Seasoned Wood Not Wanted.
"The wood Is for sale," remarked Mr.
Holman, "but purchasers do not con
sider it, owing to the higher price. They
want green slabwood at the lesser fig
ure, which they can pile for seasoning.
We have no object in holding it-"
Customers who telephone the Holman
Fuel Company for slabwood prices are
told that they can be supplied with
light edgings at 33.25 a cord, but that
these are fit only for limited purposes,
such as kitchen use. The edgings are
green and fresh from the saw.
An inquiry as to whether dry slab
wood may be obtained brings the first
quotation on the stored stock at the
railL It Is for sale at 35.25 a cord, is
the answer.
It is apparent that sufficient fuel
of the slabwood variety Is now stored
in Portland at the Inman-Poulsen mill
and elsewhere to relieve the shortage
that is said to exist. If consumers are
unable to obtain green.- slabwood In
sufficient time to season It for Winter
use, they will be compelled to purchase
the ready-seasoned article at an ad
vance that is wholly within' the power
of the dealer possessing it.
Cordwnd Scarcity Explained.
Two reasons are given by the freight
department of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company for the short
age of fir fuel the shortage of labor
and the bad roads of early Spring.
The last circumstance prevented
it.
being brought to the railway,
Sine
then labor has been otherwise more
profitably employed.
A contributing cause to the fuel
shortage has been the scramble by
small wood brokers of little capital to
make money out of the situation. Their
visits to the country woodcutters have
stimulated the owners with a belief
in yet higher prices, for which much
of th fir is being held.
It is also charged that during the
cutting season certain wood brokers of
speculative bent visited the cutters and
assured them that there would be a
plentiful supply and that prices would
be low,, all of which caused the cut
ters to cease. In the meantime, it is
charged, the speculators quietly accum
ulated wood. Local fuel dealers, it
is added, had no part in this.
Fir Hard to Get.
The Portland Railway. Light &
Power Company, early last Winter,
procured estimates of the amount of
wood which was to be cut along Its
lines. Officials were told. In the ag
gregate, that 70,000 cords would be
produced. It is estimated that the
cmpany hauls two-thirds of Portland's
wood supply, which averages annually
250,000 cords. The promised 70,000
cords has been cut only In part.
The shortage of fir wood last year
was 50.000 cords. It Is estimated that
it will be greater this season, but the
freight department of the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company be
lieves that the shortage will De made up
by shipments of slabwood from the
12 mills on its lines and the eight mills
on the lines of the Willamette Valley
Southern, all of which are producing
more than ever. These shipments are
now beginning. Cordwood will be
shipped during the next four months.
Manipulation Is Charged.
If this should not serve to check the

shortage. It Is pointed out that barges
of slabwood will undoubtedly reach
Portland from the river mills, of which
there are about 35 tributary to Port
and. As the margin on slabwood is
lose ordinarily the rise in price is
sure to have this effect, it is pointed
ut.
The fuel shortage in Eastern Oregon
Is certain to drain heavily upon this
district's supply of fir. It is predicted,
hut the influx of slabwood from the
busy mills is counted upon to offset It.
There Is no shortage of a serious
nature." declared one man, who is in
close touch with the fuel situation, "but
the tendency to manipulate the mar
ket has created the appearance of
one."
