"Vanished Fleet May
Be in Bolshevik Ports,
States Latest Theory

NEW YORK, June 23.-Support oe
the theory that at least a portion of
the vanished fleet of a score of
merchant vessels had been seized by
agents of the Russian soviet govern
ment was offered today by the New
York police department.
The police bomb squad" was said
to have discovered plot more than
a year ago to start mutinies among
the crews of merchantmen, seize the
ships and take them to Bolshevik
rorts. This Information, it was stat
ed, was turned over to the depart
ment of justice at the time.
Much of the information was alleg-
ed to have been obtained in a raid
in which 800 men and women were
arrested. Many of these have since
been deported.

Marine Plane Brings Aid
To Disabled Sub-Chaser

WASHINGTON. - How marine
corps aviators aided a disabled sub
marine chaser in the Carib bean sea
by delivering a spare motor part
from their aviation supply base at
Port au Prince, is told in an Of
fetal letter received today by ma
rine corps headquarters, from Major
F. E Evans, of the marine flying
squadron in Haiti. The plan used
was one of the most novel yet re-
corded.
There are no passable roads from
Port au Prince across the peninsula
to AUX Cages, where few hundred
yards off shore the disabled chaser
lay, and no place where an airplane
could land 1t was decided to box
up the spare motor part, attach the
box and thirty-foot cable to an
improvised floating buoy, and to
drop the entire contrivance overheard
close by the chaser where
1t could be picked up by the crew.
The plan worked successfully. The
marines made the 100-mile journey
from Port au Prince, Wig-wagged
the chaser to stand by for a little
90-pound package, dropped it over
the side of their airplane and return
ed to their station. The motor part
was unchanged, and after the crew
of the chaser had fished it out of
the Caribbean and installed it in their
vessel they continued their journey
to Santo Domingo City.

SAYS BOYK|N AGENT
FRAMED ON T|LLERY

Claiming that,~an employee Of So
licitor General John A. Boykin
framed up" with him to identify
Mark Tillery, an alleged member OF
| the "bunco syndicate" as the man
who had fleeced him out Of $4,000,
| J. A. Nations, of Acworth, Ga. on
Wednesday afternoon in the Fulton
superior court told "a sensational
Estory which resulted in the discharge
of Tillery, who had been placed on
trial.
Tillery was arrested several weeks
ago in Ell Paso, Tex, by federal
agents, who turned him over to the
county grand jury, charging him
with Fleeing Nations. Tillery re-
sisted extradition and Nations with
Cert Donaldson, a special investiga-
tor employed by Solicitor Boykin,
Fulton county authorities on an in
dictment returned by the Fulton
went to Ell Paso 10 identify the
prisoner. The Ell Paso courts order
ed Tillery's return to Georgia, and
he was brought back to Atlanta, and
lodged in the Fulton county tower
until his arraignment Wednesday
afternoon.
Nations was the first witness put
up by the state. He failed to iden-
tify Tillery as the man who had
fleeced him and while on the stand
made statement in which he de-
clared that on the way to Ell Paso
he and Donaldson arranged a set of
signals to be used when Nations was
asked to identify Tillery.
If Tillery was brought into the
room with other men and Nations
was asked to pick him out, Donald
son, who knew Tillery, was to raise
his hand to his face, according to
Nations statement. This action by
Donaldson would indicate which of
the group was Tillery, and would en-
able Nations to identify him. Ma
lions also declared that on the way
to Ell Paso Donaldson gave him two
photographs of Tillery, telling him
to study both pictures so as to be
able to identify the prisoner in Ell
Paso-
When Nations and Donaldson ar
rived at police headquarters in Ell
Paso several men were brought into
a room, according to Nations, and as
Ti1iery came in the door, Donaldson
raised his hand to his face in the
manner agreed upon as the signal.
Nations then identified Tillery as the
man who fleeced him, he said.
On Wednesday afternoon, at Til
iery's trial before Judge w. E.
Thomas, Nations declared he did not
know that Tillery was the man who
fleeced him. Solicitor General Boy
kin at this point made a statement
to the court criticizing Nations for
what he termed his Change of
front" saying that Nations has as
sured him that he could positively
identify Tillery as the bunco man
who got his $500.
Attorney William Schley, Howard,
of counsel for Tillery, questioned Ma
TOMS, who declared that Solicitor
General Boykin had told him to
stand. pat" identify Tillery, and his
money would be recovered. The So
licitor general, in view of Nations
statement, and failure to identify Til
1ery, then moved to mol PROSE- the
case, which, was allowed by Judge
Thomas. Tillery is still being held,
however, both on state and federal
charges.

CaliperS Used on Apples

W. B. Armstrong, Naches, Wash,
fruit grower and president of the
Washington Farm Bureau Federation,
applies methods learned years ago as a
manufacturer to the raising of apples
and makes it pay. For several years
he has selected typical trees in various
parts of his orchard and measured the
growing apples regularly with calipers,
setting the measurements and dates
down in book. Figures taken on the
same limbs of the same trees showed
the fruit early in August this year
larger than in September, 1920. The
measurements also enable Mr.. Arm
strong to check up closely on irriga-
tion, as lack of water stops the growth
of the apples, and sudden squirt in
growth late in the season indicates
that the apple is maturing and that
picking time is at hand. Records of
the Big Y, of which Mr. Armstrong is
a member, show that his apples rank
high in size, quality and prices brought
in the market.

Hotel. The guests were scheduled to
return to Portland by train, but it was
learned. after a hearty dinner, that
the next O.-W. r. & N. train would
not leave until early the next morning.
1t was imperative that the guests be

nant was equal to the occasion. He
motored back down the Highway,
snatched nine winks of sleep and was
ready for the long drive to the metrop-
lis of central Oregon.

PICRIC ACID READY
FOR LAND CLEARING

A great impetus will be given the
clearing of logged off and burned of
lands of the state through the use of &
large amount of picric acid which the
government has made available for the
land owner. according to statement
issued by Charles Hall, of klamath
Falls, president of the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce, following the
recent notification from Washington
that Oregon has been allotted 1872, ,OOO
pounds of this explosive.
According to government bulletins,
plcric acid is Of greater strength than
| dynamite and is safer to handle. 1t is
an explosive which was used in the
great war, and with a great surplus on
hand at the conclusion of the war, the
government decided to turn it over to
the different states on basis of the
amount of logged off land in each
state.
Land owners Of the state must place
their orders for the picric acid with
the Oregon Agricultural College, ac-
cordlng to advices from Washington.
When the number of orders equals a
carload. the Agricultural College will
forward this order to the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and the explosive
will be shipped to the state from the
nearest cartridging plant. Individual
orders will be limited to 1000 pounds.
and the total cost of the explosive, in
cluding the cost of cartridging, hand
ling. distributing and freight, will be
in the neighborhood of 13 cents per
pound.
'"rhe State Chamber has been fol-
lowing developments closely in regard
to the distribution of picric acid, 4" said |
Mr.. Hall. ''We believe that the cheap |
ness and efficiency of this explosive |
will give great impetus to land clear
ing operations in Oregon. The total |
cost of picric acid to the consumer is
much lower than commercial explosives |
at the present market price and a great
demand for the government explosive
should come from some of our districts
where the bulk of the undeveloped
lands are logged off and burned off. :"
Taken in conjunction with the
Logged Off Land Bill which was
passed by the last legislature | believe
hat the use of picric acid will mean
much to the development of the state"

Secretary Wallace DecrieS Rates

In speaking before the Interstate
Commerce Commission recently in the
investigation of freight rates on grain
and hay, Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace declared that high transportation
charges have stopped production and
that if the present situation continued,
farm production would be materially
reduced. Reductions would result in a
lesser volume of traffic and in smaller
revenues for the railroads, he pointed
out.
RAILROADS must share with farmers
and others the burden of the present
economic situation he said. "We can
not afford to let agriculture be de-
stroyed. All our people ought to share
the burden of the present depression.
