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.

SERVICES OF CITY
PUT UP TO
Necessity of Three-Mill Tax
Is Explained.
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.
City's Welfare JeeaeH level.
"Failure of this measure to pass
would require the council to revise

mnner that tbe city s sarsty aan
welfare would b jeopardised. It
would require a per cent rsrfloe
Moo throughout tne service, would
necessitate the closing of several

activities, reduction of street cleaning-

"Alao the street maintenance pro
gramme would have to be curtailed,
city buildings and property could

lighting would have to be reduced
and In short the city's service would
be very serloasly disrupted.
