By adopting: a resolution introduced
y C. A. Bigelow. commissioner of fi
nance, this morning the council author
ised the mayor to negotiate with the
mayor and city council of Philadelphia
In an endeavor to have the Liberty
Bell sent to Portland on its return
from the San Francisco exposition.
It was largely through the efforts of
Herbert Flelshhacker of San Francisco
that the mayor and two councllmen of
Philadelphia were Induced to send the
Liberty Bell to the San Francisco fair.
Mr. Flelshhacker. who is heavily inter
ested In the Northwestern Klectric
i company of Portland, appeared as the
personal representative of Mayor Kolph
: and turned the tide in favor of send
ing the famous relic to the exposition.
The resolution, which was unani
mously adopted by the Portland city
; council, follows:
"Whereas, The Liberty Bell, which
was Imported from England in 1753,
upon the fillets of which were cast
the prophetic words, "Proclaim liberty
throughout all the land unto all the In
habitants thereof," and which was rung
for more than two hours from Inde
pendence Hall, Philadelphia, with the
firing of cannon and the beating of
drums on- the occasion of the Declara
tion of Independence by the continental
congress, July 4, 1776, i to be shipped
to San Francisco for exhibition dur
ing the fair; and, .
VWhereas, A very large number of
people in the city of Portland who are
unable to attend the fair would con
sider it a great favor to be afforded an
opportunity to view the old Liberty
Bell, and,
"Whereas, It is improbable that said
bell will ever be allowed to visit the
Pacific coast in the future; therefore,
be it
"Resolved, That the mayor of the
city of Portland be and is hereby In
structed to request the proper 'author
ities to allow the Liberty Bell to be
returned homo by way of Pwtland,
and that , the same be placed on exhi
bition here In order that the patriotic
people of the city of Portland may
have an opportunity to view this his
toric emblem of freedom which sound
ed the voice of Liberty throughout the
land so long ago."

FEDERAL WARNINGS
AGAINST LAND: GRANT
SEEMINGLY
GNORED
i
Some People Art? j Still Put
ting Up Money for "Loca
tions" in Dispute,
PORTLAND PEOPLE: FILE
Seventy-eight Xavs Tiled Claims on
Grants In Xt&ae County In the
Xiast Two Weks.
Despite tha repeated ; warnings Is
sued by federal authorities from ; the
attorney general of the United States
down, people are still putting up their
cash for "locations" of claims on the
disputed Oregon & California grant
lands, according to information Just
received here from Eugene.
Within the lasttwo weeks 78 clain
ants filed claims on some of the grant
lands in Lane county, through S. A. D.
Puter, author of "Looting the Publio
Domain," and one of the men convicted
of land frauds in Orego some years
ago when the big fraud cases were
uncovered.
The claims were filed with Countj
Clerk S. M. Russell, and the list in
cludes the names of several Portlan 1
people, of people residing as far east
as New York, and -some in Montreal,
Canada. '
Puter, it is understood, collects fat
fees for making the "locations."
These "locations," the government has
repeatedly yarned claimants. will
give them no advantage toward secur
ing the land claimed, no matter what
the outcome of the dispute is.
In a letter under date of July 81.
1913. addressed to United States At
torney Reames In Portland, the United
States atorney general gives tho
status of the grant lands in these
words:
"By the decree the railroad com
pany's title to some 2,360,000 acres of
land granted to the company . by the
act of 1866 Is declared forfeited to the
United States. Unless the
position of the government is given
the widest puplicity it is probable that
wholesale frauds will be perpetrated
upon innocent people, not only in Ore
gon, but particularly in the states of
the middle west, as designing and un
scrupulous men are representing to
the people that these' lands can be se
cured by settlement- thereon, and, by
such representations, they obtain lo
cation fees for their services; whereas
the lands in fact can not be acquired
in any manner until the case has been
finally decided on appeal, and in event
of the government's ultimate success,
not until congress shall enact legisla
tion providing for a disposition of tha
lands.
"You may further state that efforts
are being made to prosecute those who
are thus Imposing upon the people, and
you urge that in the meantime this
department notify the public generally
of the true situation."
Garrigus Case Is
Yet to Be Decided
Saying that there . were not suffi
cient facts before him on , which to I
pass final judgment in the suit of At- I
torney Lewis C. Garrigus to force
County Clerk Coffey to certify his I
election as county judge. Circuit Judge
Kavanaugh this morning overruled a
demurrer of Mr. Coffey presented by
the district attorney's office. A re
turn must now be made to the writ of
mandamus.
Garrigu3 received several votes for
the office, although no election for
county judge had been scheduled last ,
November. He asserts that the office
is now vacant, as Judge Cleeton was
elected for but four years, and that he
was elected as Cleeton's successor. j

him to leave their home, saying siif

testimony of Willis G. Hill before Cir

granted a divorce on grounds of
cruelty. Judge Gatens granted a di
vorce to E. E. Rodier from Ada Rodier
on grounds of desertion.
Desertion figured in divorce suits
yesterday when Nancy E. Stone filed
Vuit against Frank E. Stone, Edr.a
Wike against Ne'd Wike, and Mar
gherita E. Jacobs against W. L. Ja
cobs. Grace L. Burke sued George L.

Elizabeth Moeller brought suit against
William Moeller on similar grounds.
Auto Driver Fined

driver of the automobile that struck
and injured Miss Elizabeth Peters of
849 Mallory avenue, at Sixth and
Washington streets" Monday afternoon,

H. W. HOLMES NAMED
TO ASSIST
ENGINEER
Appointee Succeeds C. H.
Puree!! 'Who Refused to
File Resignation.
State Highway Engineer Cantine
announced yesterday the appointment
of H. W. Holmes of Portland, Or., as
assistant engineer to have charge of
the bridges and such other duties as
may be assigned him.
Mr. Holmes takes over the work
which has been under the direction
and supervision of C. H. Purcell.
In his notice of the appointment of
Mr. Holmes, State Highway Engineer
Cantine omitted to state whether Mr.
Purcell had been discharged or had
resigned. The fact is that Mr. Purcell
was urged by Mr. Cantine to resign
but he refused to do so, asserting that
there was no valid reason why he
should. His removal followed.
Mr. Purcell as assistant to Major
Bowlby had charge of all bridge con
struction and owing to his insistence
that contractors and steel dealers live
up to specifications he became un
popular. He rendered especially valu
able service in demonstrating the ex
cessive prices charged by contractors
for bridges built in Lane and other
counties. I
It is reported that other -changes In I
the state highway department will fol- j
low soon. I
