Incessant trench raids by the British serve to cheek up continuously on the fresh reserves which the Teu tons have put Into the Hoc, and care ful questioning of prisoners aids In the game of ferreting out the enemy's moves. PORTLAND COMMITTEE Salem, Or, May II. Judge J. TJ. Campbell of the circuit court for Clackamas county has reaffirmed his decision, which is adverse to the state. in the Hyde land fraud case, wnicn was tried before him. This is the only one out of six de cisions in the Hyde land fraud cases which has been unfavorable to the state. "There can be no doubt from the evidence in this case," says Judge Campbell in his decision, a copy of which was received today by Attorney General Brown, "that Hyde, procured title to this land by fraudulent means, and in violation of the law of Oregon governing the sale of school lands." But he holds that the law passed by the legislature in 1901, which was two years after Hyde obtained from the state his lastdeed to the 2000 acres Involved, cured Hyde's fraudu lently obtained title. This law was for the purpose of rat ifying Sales of land made by the state land board. Five other Judges of the circuit courts of the state, who have decided similar cases, held that this law did not apply to the lands obtained by Hyde by fraud. Judge Campbell points out that the present owner of the lands, the West ern Lumber company, la an Innocent purchaser, and that it is as much the public policy of the state to protect the innocent purchaser as it is to re cover lands obtained from the state by fraud. He asserts also conditions existing at the time Hyde obtained the lands were known to the publio offl- iais, "who. no doubt." he says, "felt that they were getting the best of the bargain by converting the lands into cash ana loaning the cash for the benefit of the school fund." ANOTHER JOINT BLOW IS STRUCK ON WEST FRONT v.. (Continued From Page One.) trenches in the Moronvlllers sector on the northern slopes of Cornlllet, with 800 prisoners taken, was reported in today's official statement as the first net result. . i The war office tcM of a resumption of active, bitter fighting on the great er part of the whole front. Along tho Chemin Oes Dames front an artillery struggle continued through out the night. A strong German at tack was made near Froidmont farm and repulsed. In the Champagne,, the statement said: "We brilliantly c&ntured aev eral lines of German trenches In the sector of Moronvlllers, imprisoning 800. We found tne crumbled German shel ters filled with dead. The enemy's losses were formidable. Particularly those Inflicted by our forces against counter attacks. All of these were re pulsed." Four brand new trunks were seised this morning at the union station by deputies from Sheriff Hurlburfs of fice and taken to the county building where an investigation of their con tents revealed over 100 quarts of whis key. The trunks evidently were con structed for bootleggers. Each one contained four trays divided into 11 compartments. The depth Of the com partment is just sufficient to hold a flat pint bottle. The trunks had been sent from Sail Francisco as excess Waggage but were not dtalmed here at Portland. Charlie Mays. 157 Sheldon street, an old resident of Portland, was arrested by ixeputy Sheriffs Marks and Phillips on a charge of receiving a trunk con taining a 10-gallon keg of whiskey. The trunk was addressed to Mrs. Mays and Mr. Mays disclaims all knowledge of It. His bond is fixed at $600. Pat Ryan. 332 tt First street, was arrested by men from the sheriffs of fice for taking a trunk from the union depot which contained about 26 quarts Of whiskey. Investigation of the bot tles showed that the government bond stamp had been cut and the bottles re filled. To prevent the disclosure of this to the prospective purchaser, a tin foil cap was placed over the tdp of the hrttMfl which hid the evidence of re filling but left enough of the stamp showing to prove that it was bonded goods. kAKGE damages allowed Jacob Schneider Given $14,000 Verdict Against Wife's Father, One of the largest amounts ever al lowed in an alienation suit In Oregon was given to Jacob Schneider Saturday night, when a Jury in Circuit Judge Duffy's court returned a verdict In his favor for 314,000 damages against his father-in-law, George Tapfer "Greed," says Charles J. Scnnahei, who. with J. B. Ofner, represented Schneider as counsel, "was the motive behind Tapfer'a actions In this case. Schneider Is working as a laborer m Portland today, minus his wife, chil- A ran an A anmA S6500." I TaDfer is a wealthy farmer ana re sides at Palatine Hill, not far from Portland. Schneider married mm daughter in 1912. Last year she left her husband and returned to her fath er. Tapffer accomplished this by pois oning his daughter's mind against him. so Schneider alleged, no iunuei charged that Tapfer brought about hi financial ruin by inducing him to buy a dairy, the value of which he de liberately misrepresented to Schneider, the husband charged.

Berlin, Via London. May 81. (V. P.) French forces succeeded in gaining a hold on Mount Cornlllet and British troops' only success was in occupying "completely demolished trench abandoned In accord with our plana," today's official report stated. "On both sides of the Arras-Camhrai road on a front of 13 kilometers (more than nine miles) the English attacked yesterday," the statement said. "At those places between the Scarps and Sensee brook, where the enemy suc ceeded in penetrating bur line east of Crolsilles, he was driven back in a sharp counter-attack. Oft-repeated at tacks between Fontaines and Bulle co.urt met the Same fate. "We maintained our position except at one completely demolished trench, which was abandoned in accordance with our plans.

Multnomah county now pays about 38 per cent of the state highway fund and about 40 per cent of the fund de rived from motor vehicle licenses. Notwithstanding- that the county will not receive any return from the above sources it Is generally appreci ated that the Indirect benefit through the Improvement of highways all over the state more than offsets the direct contribution of the county. It is recognized that tho prosperity of Port land is altogether dependent upon the prosperity of the state at large. Another argument whioh will be Strongly urged by the campaign com mlttee is that the adoption of the bond lSBue will not add to taxation for the reason that funds to oarry the bond Issue have already been provided for and will be raised whether the bond measure is adopted tor not. The quarter of a mill tax on prop erty will continue to be assessed and the motor vehicle license fee be doubled regardless of the result of the bond election.
