The latter said yesterday: "Our people fight against the bolshevik!; and oppose the Polish rule that would overwhelm our freedom.

JAZZ ACT LEAVES TODAY TIE Decision openly to defy Sheriff Hurlburt by using the Kelly Butte jail as a temporary smallpox hos pital and to employ city prisoners at 'he rockpile simultaneously was reached by members of the city coun cil and County Commissioners Hoyt and Muck, following a tour made by these officials yesterday morning. Sheriff Hurlburt has announced that the proposed plan of transport ing prisoners from the county jail to the rockpile each day Is absurd, but the city and county officials plan to disregard the admonitions of the sheriff by taking prisoners daily from the city jail to the rockpile. Sheriff Hurlburt has not changed his opinion of the undesirability of using the jail at Kelly Butte for a contagious hospital. He has just com pleted refurnishing the jail quarters with view of reopening the rockpile the first of the year, but because of the decision of city and county of ficials it will be impossible to utilize the quarters for this purpose for at least four months, unless present plans are amended. Sheriff Knvom Cedar. Use of The Cedars as a temporary contagious hospital pending the com pletion of the permanent 'structure was proposed by Sheriff Hurlburt and County Commissioner Holman. who disagrees with the other commission ers, as an ideal solution to the prob lem presented by the need of check ing the spread of smallpox in Portland. "Accommodations at The Cedars are ample for at least 65 or 70 persons and the surroundings are much more suitable than the jail at Kelly Butte." said the sheriff. "No more than 50 people could be cared for at the rock pile jail and no worse place for the sick could be found in Multnomah county. The floors are of steel, the , ' I are barred. A feverish nerson. sub ject to hallucinations, would go crazy in such surroundings. "There are no modern sanitary ar rangements at Kelly Butte, such as is necessary for handling sick people. The building is a jail, nothing else,' and never was intended for anything else." To take care of the women now at The Cedars, Commissioner Holman suggested the barracks in South Portland. "As an emergency housing, the bar racks should be excellent in their present condition," he said. "There is no order yet signed by the com missioners regarding Kelly Butte and I am strongly opposed to putting sick people in jail." The suggestion of utilizing the South Portland barracks to house the girls now confined at The Cedars has frequently been made before the city council, but always has met strong opposition on the part of City Com missioner Mann, who does not desire to break up the organization at The Cedars. Tr. Honerg 1m OppoMed. ' Opposition to moving the girls has also been made by State Health Offi cer Roberg and Or. Robert Holt, who is resident physician. Some members of the city council, however, see no reason why the change cannot be made, and it is possible that the final outcome of the present controversy will be the use of The Cedars as a temporary isolation hospital. Difference of opinion exists be tween the members of the city coun cil over the location of the perma nent isolation hospital, which they have finally decided to place on the county's 23-acre tract at Kelly Butte. City Health Officer Parrish favors the orection of the new hospital adjacent to the smallpox cottage opposite Kelly Butte jail. City Commissioner Barbur supports the health officer in this selection. Other members of the council fa vor a site on the butte, somewhat re moved from the blasting, which is continuous during the operation of the rockpile. Dr. Parrish is opposed to the buttc site on the ground that it will be difficult to deliver neces sary supplies, whereas the site fa vored by him is on the roadway. Holman Makm Offer. After a conference with Sheriff Hurlburt and Harry R. Cliff, county physician. County Commissioner Hol man announced last night that If the city of Portland cannot solve the smallpox Isolation problem without the use of Kelly Butte jail that he will assume all the responsibility for handling the situation if city of ficials will turn over the Cedars to him. "I will gladly take the responsibili ty for checking further spread of the epidemic without abandoning plans for opening Kelly Butte, he declared. "County Physician Cliff has assured me that the cases can be handled with ease at the Cedars. The women now there can be transferred to the county hospital barracks it Is no new thing for such cases to be treated at the county hospital. Sheriff Hurl burt will provide any guard that may be necessary. "All I ask Is the co-operation of the city officials in this, the use of nurses now at the Cedars and any special funds the city has for fight ing the epidemic."

"We soldiered along for many a we-ry month without asking why. But hat amazes us who have returned from Russia is that no ex planation has ever been given for the sending of American troops to that forsaken country." Hegardt was discharged from the army in San Francisco on December St, four days after landing at that port. His return to this country cul minated a term of service in Siberia lasting 14 months. He arrived in Fortland Sunday morning, after an absence of a year and a half. The chief trouble with the bolshe vik!, according to Hegardt. was their attacks on sentries and their damag ing of property. They never attacked unless they outnumbered their vic tims, their activity being for the most part confined to sniping of sentries. Eternal vigilance was the burden of the American troops in the north country. There was not much sick ness, although pneumonia and rheu matism kept men in the hospitals. "Probably more men went insane than died from sickness." asserted he attempted to turn off Lombard street onto Columbia boulevard, his machine skidding into and breaking off a trolley guy wire pole. Mr. May introduced a number of witnesses to show that he was not intoxicated. Judge Rossman, how ever, said he was inclined to credit the patrolman's judgment. Obituary. "gob" musicians.

Kocher a week ago for arson in connection with the myste rious burning of a barn in which 1 heavily insured hops were supposed to have been stored, was arraigned before Presiding Judge Gatens yes terday. He pleaded not guilty to three indictments, two of which charged him with defrauding local insurance concerns. Bail was fixed at $1000. Porter was tenant of a farm owned by B. P. Johns of Portland, located half a mile northwest of Barlow, Clackamas county. The crop of hops was contracted at 30 cents to T. A. L.ivesley & Co. of Salem last spring. When the price went up to 80 cents there was a fire of unknown origin in the drjMng shed on October 19. 1919. Twenty-one bales were destroyed, ac cording to the claim Porter filed with the insurance companies. Information which reached the dis trict attorney's office and caused the grand jury investigation was that Kocher, a butcher, had sold 1 8 bales of hops to McKinley Mitchell of Port land just prior to the fire. Charles Tallman told the grand jurors that he hauled the hops from the shed near Barlow and that not more than three or four bales had been left in the building.
