fi THE SUNDAY OREGOMAN, PORlXASli, 61?TT5BLlt lS, to&T ANTI-LIQUOR ORDER EFFECTIVE ON IPS Collector Piper Directed to Seize Stocks. ALL CRAFT IS AFFECTED .Foreign Vessels Probably Will Be Most Seriously Hit and Trouble Is Anticipated. George TJ. Piper, collector of cus tom, acting: on otficlal advices from "Was-hineto-n, ' yesterda-y noti fied all shipping interests in Port land that the anti-liauor ruling of Attorney-General Daugherty, af fecting foreign, as well as American, shipping:, will be enforced vigorously and that all liquor entering this har bor will foe seized. This order will affect all foreign vessels which be gan voyages to America after mid night last night. According to the telegram from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the ruling is iron-clad and bans liquor as cargo as well as ship's stores. Sallormen on foreign ves sels, who in the past have bsen al lowed their legal supply of liquor, in accordance with existing treaties and diplomatic agreements, will be forced to turn to coffee, tea, water or other soft drinks while in Ameri can oorts and until such time after ward as their ship can replenish her alcoholic stores at some place where Wine and whisky are not banned. Ocean Tramps Included. Ocean tramps, which carry liquor cargoes, cannot touch American ports without surrendering their alcoholic shipments. Passenger liners, plying between the orient and North and South American ports practically will be forced to discontinue their bars. The only exemption is the small quantity of liquors carried in the ship's medicine chest. Press dispatches from Washington indicated that the' enforcement of the order was to be held up until October 31. but this official tele gram, as received by Mr. Piper, in dicated that the measure was to be come effective immediately. The telegram was as follows: Under president's orders, liquor will not be removed from any foreign or domeBtlo vessel until such vessel arrives t a port under United States Jurisdiction after voyage which began after October 14. 1022, provided rules heretofore in force have been observed. Both foreign and domestle vessels arriving: after that time must surrender all beverage liquor on board. Pending- further instructions ves sels of any nationality may keep on board a sufficient supply of medicinal liquor ard alcohol for non-beverage purposes exclusively for use according to law. Collector to Keep Stocks. Customs officers will advise with pro- hibltlon and internal revenue officers as to application of law in individual cass. Varying circumstances of non-beverAse needs will be considered in fixing the amount allowed each vessel. Supplies of liquor surrendered, or taken from ves sels after arrival on a voyage commenc ing after October 14, will be taken pos session of by collectors of customs who will list and receipt for it, label, segre gate and store until further instructions are received. Tha Af.rtflrv of the treasury directs that collectors of customs serve the fol lowing notice promptly by mall or other wise on all persons or companies in their respective districts who own or operate vessels touching ports of the United States or its possessions or upon mascara of such vessels: , "To shipping everywhere The pro visions of the national prohibition aot are applicable to United States vessels leaving foreign porta after October 14 and to foreign vessels leaving foreign ports after that date or on coming within the territorial waters of the United States. All sales of beverage liquors n United States vessels anywhere and on foreign vessels within the territorial wa ters of the United States are unlawful after Ootober T. This notice does not apply to foreign vessels passing through the Panama canal and not touching at any port under the jurisdiction of the United States. (Signed). A. W. Mellon. Shipping; Concerns Notified. "This order means that liquor, ex cept in ship's medicine chests, is il legal within the limits of the United States," said Mr. Pipr. "In accord ance with the order, I served notices of 16 local shipping concerns yester day. As soon as vessels, affected by the order, reach this port, I will take charge of all liquor aboard and hold it pending further orders. Liquor found on the manifest and surren dered to u will be held; that which is not surrendered but Is found aboard ship will be treated as con traband and destroyed." Mr. Piper expects that the en forcement of the order will cause a storm of. protest from foreign ship ping interests. Among those tshat will be most seriously affected are the Japanese passenger liners Tun ning between Japan, North and South American ports. If they con- x, , n n Amfrlra.n tvnrtft it will mean thaftheir crews audi pas- J sengers will be required to forego' alconolio beverages for the greater part of tfaa trip. SaUncn Lose "Tlnne." "Existing regulations specify a certain ajnount of liquor to be al lowed lor. consumption each day on foreign -veaaeis in port," said Mr. Piper. W will hav" to cut out this supply. I suppose that it will create no eat of trouMe among the crews ef snips belonging to nations whose shipping laws require the Is suance af certain quantity of liquor to aallors- "We can only go ahead Jid enforce the order, though, and await further: Instructions from Washington." No Instruction? in the matter have been received, as yet, by United States Attorney Humphreys or Fed eral Prohibitum Director Linvllle. The matter of handling liquor aboard ships has been left entirely in tha bancs of the collector of cus toms. Divorce and Child Wanted.

PLANS FOR THE ULTIMATE DEVELOPMENT OF DUNIWAY MEMORIAL PARK COMPLETED Sketch shows plans City Commissioner Pier has evolved for Sooth . Portland park and playground. jp:ArG(x( t m ' r-f LlS vf 3ta?t ' i Plans for the Duniway playground and park have been made by the bureau of parks, showing a simple but adequate development, concen trating athletics in the east side of the area and allowing an undis turbed landscape and park-like treatment of the long gulch. Under the direction of Commissioner Pier, the plan was made for a complete play area and recreation center. One of the interesting features of the proposed plan is a memorial gateway, arranged as a tribute to Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, for whom the park was named. This would not only serve as an entrance to the park, but would also beautify the entrance to Terwilliger boulevard at the head of Sixth street. Features of the design show a long slide for coaster wagons, kidd'e kars and all the homemade vehicles of the small boys and girls. The slide would be arranged to carry the children far down the hill, include a loop for excitement and return almost to the starting point. The grade would be sufficiently steep for excitement, but would not be dangerous. Athletics, including baseball, football, soccer, handball, tennis and horseshoe pitching, are provided for. Regulation playgrounds are also specified. In addition a community house with'all manner of up-to-date recreational features is included. A considerable amount of fill must be made on the Duniway park site before the best development can be achieved, but this is being done rapidly. Contractors from many west side building sites are allowed to dump there and the cty is also dumping on the park area. ECONOMY IS PROMISED CITY AUDITOR FUNK SEEKS VOTES OX EFFICIENCY.

NO NEW LEVY PROPOSED In Event Voters Fail to Ratify Tax AH City Activities Must Be Reduced 28 Per Cent. An explanatory statement cover ing the J-mill tax levy was Issued yesterday by the city council, in which it was pointed out that should the voters fail to ratify this, tax at the November election all city activ ities must be reduced at least 28 per cent. ' The statement, the council ex plained, is made In order that the public may understand the full meaning of ths measure and It Is signed by Mayor Baker and the four city commissioners. It reads as fol lows: ' "The . three-mill tax is submitted to the voters because of a technical leeral opinion handed down by thettie city service for fcommenc- 1 tax supervising and i-onervk.tlon Ins; December commission to the effect that ths authority granted on two past occa j alone by the voters to levy this tax must again be submitted to the voter before the tax ta levied, this to comply m-ith the provisions of the state constitution. Xtw Tax I snMe4. "The three-mill tax is not a new tax and does not mean additional taxation." It means that the city of Portland has grown to the point where ths charter provision limiting taxation to S mills annually has been outgrows and an s-mtll levy will not raise sufficient money to enable the city to meet necessary expense. At two past city elections the voters authorised ths additional taxation and at the last election It was considered settled hat the addi tional levy should apply each year except that It would be reduced II possible. While the city Is running at present on a curtailed basis, this tax cannot be eliminated and at the same time provide funds enough to run the city. The legal ruling now Is that the authority given by the people at past elections must be given again at tbe November 7 elec tion. "While the city council makes no bjectioa to submitting these ques tions to the voters, an effort Is being made to explain to the publla the purpose of the measure and what It would mean if It falls to pass at the coming election. The council has endeavored to reduce expenses In every possible way. even to the extent of reducing necessary service and at present no unnecessary ex pense is being Incurred or taxation Imposed.
