18. THE SUNDAY OllEGONIAN. PORTLAND, JULY 25, 1920 COX TO BE NOTIFIED SO CROWD MAY SEE Home Will Not Accommodate Throngs Governor Fears. PLAN CONFABS CONTINUE Governor Says He Will Make Onl One Western Trip; September Likely to Be Date. DAYTON, O., July 24. A change In the place for notification of Governor Cox of his nomination for the presi dency by the democrats was taken up today by the governor with local in terests. The event may be trans ferred from the candidate's home. Trail's End, five miles outside of Dayton, to the Montgomery County Fair grounds on the edge of the city. Facilities for the crowds expected August 7 for the notification cere monies were tho moving factors in the proposed change. The governor today was unable to conclude conferences with party lead ers on campaign affairs but subject to occasional arrivals, will begin work next Monday on his acceptance speech. Among Trail's End callers were Edward N. Hurley of Chicago, former chairman of the United States shipping board, and H. L. Doherty of New York, public utilities and oil operator. Shipping and industrial affairs, Ciovernor Cox said, were discussed with Mr. Hurley. Data for the cam paign, the governor said, had been secured from Mr. Hurley, who also told him that the democratic situation in Illinois had improved greatly since the San Francisco convention. Favor able reports on conditions in Ken tucky also were received by the gov ernor today from Senator Beckham, who said: "I told the governor that a sweep ing victory in Kentucky was assured. He promised to make several speeches in the state during the campaign." Governor Cox went "back to the Boil" for a few hours today, looking over livestock and other interests on his farm, which he has been com pelled to neglect. Governor Cox said he was consid ering his itinerary, and that it ap peared probable that he would make only one western trip, spending most of September in that territory after touring the central and eastern states during August, while Franklin D. Roosevelt, vice-presidential candidate, is in the west. The governor said that in October he probably would deliver some addresses in southern states and the remainder in the cen tral and eastern territory. He said he plans little personal work in Ohio. the signing of an option on the Star theater yesterday. The lease on the new premises will be signed in a few days, said Mr. Keating. The Lyric management has been looking for a location for some time. as the building now occupied haj been leased by the Southern Pacific company, who take possession in September, moving from the tem porary quarters in the Henry build ing, after the Lyric quarters have been remodeled into a depot. The Lyric theater will close next week to allow alterations on the building to begin, and also to give the principals of the cast an opportunity for a vacation before the opening of the fall season. Most of the principals of the com pany, including Dillon and Franks, comedians, will be retained for the opening of the new show in the Star theater, and the chorus will be en larged from 18 to about 30. it was announced.

APPEAL TO BE TAKEN WOMAN'S RELEASE ASKED fesl FIUENDS CHARGE INMATE OF SANITARIUM HELD ILLEGALLY C. M. Idleman, Portland Attorney, Says Wife Is Insane and Writes Letters to Kins George. The charge that Mrs. Margaret Idle man, wife of C. M. Idleman. well- known Portland attorney, is being re strained illegally at the Mountain View sanitarium and has been im prisoned there for 18 months without order of court and against her will, is made in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the circuit court yesterday by Frieda M. Publos, a friend of the woman. Hearing in the action will be before Circuit Judge Stapleton at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Mr. Idleman said yesterday that his wife had been placed in the sani tarium but that it was done to avoid the necessity of a public-hearing and commitment to a public institution. She suffers from hallucinations, he as serted, and he exhibited four letters to King George of England which she had written when he went to see her yesterday. He will present these let ters to the court tomorrow. In the petition it is maintained that Mrs. Idleman is confined n a barred room and not permitted to go out in the air or to walk about the grounds. Mrs. Idleman was the wife of John Jones of the postal service before her divorce and marriage to Mr. Idleman about 13 years ago. Dr. W. T. Williamson, proprietor of the sanitarium, also named as defend ant in the action, said last night that Mrs. Idleman is insane and that it is necessary for attendants at the sani tarium to keep her under close ob servation. "While at times she seems to be considerably improved," said Dr. Will iamson. "her condition is such that It would be unwise for her to be at large." to Buy Shares in .North western Bank, and Building Declined by Heirs. Declination of an offer of L. B. Menefee for the purchase of stock in the Northwestern National bank and the Northwestern Fidelity company, valued at approximately $1,500,000, was decided on by heirs of the late Henry L. Pittock at a conference held yesterday with O. L. Price, executor of the will of Mr. Pittock and trustee of his estate, and Emery Olmstead, president of the bank. Two scaled bids were received un der authority granted by the circuit court, the higher of which was from Mr. Menefee for himself and others who are alrea-V large shareholders in the bank. Mr. Price obtained on July 13 from the probate court an order authoriz ing the sale of the Pittock stock in the Northwestern National bank and in the Northwestern Fidelity com pany, owner of the bank building. The purpose of the sale, as stated in the petition, was to realize funds to pay off the full amount of the federal inheritance tax, something over $1,000,000, and the expenses of admin istration. The petition also set forth that by payment of the federal tax in full at this time an' Interest pei.alty of 3 per cent, amounting to about $30,000, would be saved. By the prov'slons of the Pittock will, when all debts are paid there is to be a distribution to the heirs, at Intervals of six months, of one-half of all cash on hand. It is understood that the price offered for the Pittock stock in both the bank and the build ing was in excess of ' the appraised value. The amount to' have been real ized from the sale would have paid practically the entire indebtedness of the estate, and would have led to an early distribution to the heirs. The securities for which authoriza tion was received by Mr. Price from to sell for cash, or part : best possible advantage, S shares of the capital stock of the Northwestern National bank of the par value of $100 each, 1270 shares of the Northwestern Fi delity company and another lot of 4000 shares of the same stock, prom issory notes of this company iafalLng $432,505 and a claim against this com pany for payment of a mortgage of $37,500. It was the plan, however, to sell 3500 shares only of the bank stock. Judge Tazwell authorized the es state on July 16 to borrow not to exceed $5jO,OL'.. The final date for paying the first installment on gov ernment taxes is July 26. Because of the holding up of the sale other ar rangements to meet the taxes will be made and the option of making the payments in quarterly installments probably will be exercised.

Austrian Miner Declares He Was Railroaded to Asylum and His Interests In Claim Sold. TACOMA, Wcsh., July 24. (Spe cial.) Hugh L. Wallace, American ambassador to France, and W. R. Rust must fight for a king's ransom with John Tuppola, an Austrian miner who shoveled "rock in the box" for them at the Chicagoff mine in Alaska. Mr. Wallace and Mr. Rust are both of Tacoma. and tho latter Just recently returned from Paris, where he was enteitained by Ambassador and Mrs. Wallace. Mr. Rust was likewise seri ously considered as a democratic na tioral committeamii n from Washing ton. He is a millionaire Two mining claims valued at more than $500,000 and profits from another aggregating approximately $1,000,000, were involved in a suit in which the decision was handed down July 8 by the United States circuit court of appeals in favor of Tup pola, who brought action against the Chicagoff Mining company of which Mr. Rust and Ambassador Wallace are owners. Railroading I Charged. Fraud was charged against the Chi cagoff company by Tuppola in his complaint, in which he alleged that in order to gain complete possession of the four claims, in which he was joint owner with the company, he was charged with insanity and committed to an asylum and that subsequently the claims were sold by a guardian for $1000. Tuppola was subsequently liberated from the asylum in December, r917, and brought suit in the Alaska court to recover his holdings but was de feated. His victory in the federal court gives him possession of two claims near Sitka, Alaska, and one half Interest in the claims held by the Chicagoff company. An account ing of all profits since 1914 is also ordered made by the mining company to Tuppola. Retaearlnic to Be Anted "We will ask for a rehearing before the United States court of appeals," said Judge Overton G. Ellis, who handled the case for the mining com pany. "If necessary we will take the case to the United States supreme court. "The court did not find any fraud," Judge Ellis continued. "It was sim ply a matter of law as to the valid ity of a guardian's sale, and in this the court of appeals' reversed the decision of the lower court. The two claims which were awarded Tuppola have never been worked, and the half interest in the claim of the Chi cagoff mine which was developed at the expense of the mining company was the matter of chief importance in the litigation.' Judge Ellis said that the share of the profits awarded to Tuppola by the court from this claim would amount to something approximating $1,000,000. "Nothing was discovered in the claim that is being worked until 1918, so the accounting ordered made will not go back farther than that time," Judge Ellis said. "The cost of devel opment, milling and other necessary expenditures made by the company in bringing the mine into production will be apportioned, bringing down the amount considerably below the million-dollar mark when the accounting to Tuppola is made." descent" to safety only after the gravest danger and a series of nar row escapes. The swirling stiow, driven before a high wind, made travel impossible and the party was imprisoned in the forest lookout on the summit for more than an hour before the return trip was attempted. When the start was made, the gale that swept across the cliffs forced the party to cling to cables running down the north side under grave danger every mo ment of being literally swept off into space. In the severe cold of the high altitude Mr. Lee suffered two frosted fingers. When the top of Cooper's spur was gained the party was below the snow storm but the wind was as violent as ever. It was only after they descended to the glacial moraines above Cloud Cap inn that comparative shelter was reached. The party reached. Hood River Wednesday and came in to Portland the following day."

SEATTLE, Wash., July 21 Hearings conducted by the state industrial code commission in Seattle came to an end today. The last importan witness called was Austin E. Grif fiths, lawyer and former councilman of Seattle, who appeared to give his views concerning the industrial court that has been under discussion at all meetings the commission has held with employers and workers in dif ferent cities of the state. The commission will go into ex ecutive session for four days in Ta coma next week to go over the testi mony it has taken, as a basis for a report to be submitted to the next legislature. Mr. Griffiths took a decided stand against an Industrial court clothed with powers of .compulsion, and said that he had no faith in compul sory legislation dealing with labor troubles. Asked his opinion of the Kansas industrial court, into which the commission is particularly inquir ing, he said that he approved the Kansas idea, except the compulsory feature of it. A better plan, Mr. Griffiths thought, would be to create a conciliation com mission that would have power to in vestigate all labor disputes, and to give full publicity to Its findings, but no power to forbid workers to strike. RATE ON WHEAT DESIRED Move to Bring Montana Crop to PaciTIc Coast Started. OLTMPIA, Wash., July J4. Recom mendation has been made to the inter state commerce commission by O. O. Calderhead, rate expert of thj Wash ington public service commission, for establishment of an export rate for shipment of the Montana-wheat crop to Pacific coast ports, it became ki.own today.

THE NEW CONSIDERED BY MAUY MOTORISTS THE BEST FABRIC TIRE ON THE AMERICAN-MARKET SPECIAL BREAKER Even as the tires on your car, O Motorists, arc but a small part of the whole machine, so is the breaker strip to a tire. But its function is as important to the tire as the tires to the machine, for the whole tire is affected by the way in which it docs its work. If you know not the use of the breaker strip, open your cars to my words: Even as the name implies, it is a strip of loosely woven fabric so placed in the tire that it will "break" the mighty blows of the road. Even as the stone cast into a stream causes a wave to flow in every direction, so does the breaker strip spread the shocks of the road over the tire. A good breaker strip gives mighty battle to those great enemies of your purse: stone bruises and wear and tear; and adds many moons to the life of the tire. The Great Chiefs of my people know how important is the breaker strip, so they have it woven especially for our mighty "Savage" "D" Type tire, as different from that used in ordinary tires as the sun is different from the moon. Great is the cost of this bit of fabric but it does the work we call upon it to do better than any other that we know of. In your eyes, O Travelers of the Highways, this is but a small matter, but consider it with other features in our "D" Type and you know another reason why' this big, sturdy casing, the pride and joy of our hearts, has been proclaimed in all the land hy many of you "The best fabric tire on the American market I SALUTE YOU, O MOTORISTS!

Haynes was told that his debtor was running a stage for overflow passengers be tween Olympia and Tacoma. He changed the plans of his trip, there fore, making arrangements to stop at Olympia and complete the Journey to Tacoma in company with this driver. The stage driver referred to has reported since Captain Haynes' disap pearance that he did not see the Aberdeen man In Olympia July 8. KEEP LAND, SAYS HANLEY Burns Rancher Scouts Malheur Bird Preserve Project. EUGENE. Or., July 24. William Hanley, a cattle rancher of Burns and candidate four years ago for States senator on the progressive ticket, said today while on a visit here that the people in the south eastern part of the state are opposed to the plan to create a federal bird preserve at Malheur lake. "Only gulls and pelicans breed in the lakp now." Raid Mr Hanley. "while the game birds breed in the ranches under cultivation, so the turning of this lake over to the government would mean nothing so far as the propagation of birds is concerned. It would simply mean giving to the gov ernment more of our land to be for ever exempt from taxation by the state. The land there has too great United I a future value to be given away at this time.
