RESTRAIN SHIP
SALE ALLOWED
Sale Of Former German Lin
ers Temporarily Forbidden
by Federal Court Order
Handed Down Today

Washington, Feb. IA temporary
injunction to prevent the sale of the
thirty former German passenger liners
recently offered by the board was
granted today by Associate Justice
Bailey of the district court.
Justice Bailey said after a careful
examination of the statutes he was OF
the opinion that they did not show an
intention on the part of congress to,
place in the president or in the ship
ping board the power to sell the ships.
Application for the injunction was
made by William Randolph Hearst and
hearings on it were held last Monday
while the ships were being offered at
public auction. The board announced.
yesterday that it had decided to reject
all of the bids received At the same
time 1t asked congress for authority
to again offer the ships at public auc-
ton.
Chairman Payne, of the shipping
board, announced that an appeal from
the temporary injunction order would

said, it was expected that Mr. Hearst
would be required to furnish bond to

son of the ships lying idle
Hearst Plea Sustained
Justice Bailey's decision sustained
contentious of counsel for Mr.. Hearst
that the German ships were seized
under distinct legislation and that
the boards power of disposition did
not apply to them. Assistant Attor-
ney General Ames, representing the
government, contended that the law
of 1917 was broad enough to cover
the ships in question in that it au-
thorized sale of vessels acquired pre-
yiously or thereafter.

PLAN COMMERCIALIZE BEAUTY
OF COUNTY'S ORCHARDS DURING
BLOSSOM SEASON is PROPOSED

Plans for commercializing Marion
countys unexcelled blossom scenes
during the blossoming and budding of
trees throughout the county are rapid
ly shaping at the offices of the Com
mercial club here. 1t is believed that
the various fruit and nut trees will be
in full blossom late in March or In
early April, and Manager 7. E. Nc
Croskey is exerting considerable effort
to rush arrangements for inviting peo-
pie from all parts of the country to
visit here during that period.
Wednesday Mr.. MeCroskey confer
red with John NJ. Scott, general ps5-
senger agent for the Southern Pacific
company, relative to providing a spe-
cial train from Portland on Sundays
during the blossom season; and Dis
triet Manager Richey, of the Oregon
Electric railroad, approved the plan
and agreed to provide special trains
on that line from the metropolis.
Arrangements with motion picture
firm to film the picturesque scenes
for distribution. throughout the world
are also being made.
Mr. McCroskey contends that ~
California can make paramount Of its
blossoms, and can provide special
trains and excursions into the heart of
the fruit districts, the same can be
done here, with great publicity advan-
tage to Salem and the county. It is
generally conceded that the scenes
south of Salem during the blossoming
season are unequalled anywhere, and
lit is proposed to capitalize them for
the great advantage of the commun-
ity.
