TIIII 1I0RXIXG OT1EGONTAX, WEDXESDAT, JAXTTATtY 21. 1020 Alleged Owners of $20,000 Supply Are Arrested. 446 GALLONS ARE FOUND Several Barrels or Itaisia "Whisky destroyed Xear Unnton Trio Fac Federal Charges. 8 HUGE LIQUOR CACHE UNDER BAl RAIDED " Four hundred and forty-six gallons of raisin moonshine whisky, valued between J17.000 and J20.000, were un covered by deputies from the office of Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday after noon in a cache dug- beneath a barn west of Linnton the richest haul, cay the officers, of home-manufactured contraband made locally- since the advent of prohibition. . Robert Beovich and Joseph Beovich, whose ostensible occupation was the raising of hogs, were the owners of this mammoth blind pig, according to the arresting- deputies, who also took into custody Sis Burger, a farmer under whose barn the storeroom was found. The ranch where the liquor was un earthed is about a mile and a half from tho Germantown - Springfield road crossing on the Springfield road, deputies participating in the raid from Sheriff Hurlburt's- office were Christofferson. Schirmer, Flaherty and Kendall. They were assisted by IVputy Sheriff William McQuillan of Hillsboro, "Washington county. The booze was within the limits of Mult nomah county. Stock Stored I. nut Summer. All of the. stock found has been stored away since last summer and a large amount has been disposed of eince October, according to Deputy Sheriff Christofferson, leader of the raid. At that time an investigation led close to the Beovich place, but without results. Information now tn the hands of the sheriff's office is that the still was operated throughout the summer but destroyed about October 1. when the revenue officers and deputy sheriffs began to get "warm." The Beovich brothers, who are 27 and 28 years of age and natives of Austria, rented five acres of land from Burger, a Hungarian farmer of 54 years, and are said to have arranged for the excavation of a storeroom under his barn. The younger men live nearby on a small hog ranch. Men Face Federal Charges. The haul consisted of six 54-gallon barrels of whisky, one 32-gallon bar rel and 30 cases having 12 quart bot tles in a case. The six largest bar rels were destroyed on the premises because of lack of transportation, but the remainder of tho stock was brought to the county jail as evidence The bottled goods were chiefly labeled "California Brandy' and. thi corks were sealed with a green Imi tution of the revenue seal, bearing the words, reminiscent of the Baker brothers, '"aged in the wood," and the announcement "100 proof." Federal as well as state charges will be filedi against the three men who have been doing, according to the officers, a flourishing business in wet goods and had a stock on hand guaranteed to last out the winter, barring official interruption of trade.

"T was in bad shape when my wife ordered the first bottle of Tanlac from El Paso, Tex.," writes Harry E. SScott of Dragoon. Ariz., in telling of his remarkable recovery. Mr. Scott's voluntary statement has tSe true ring of sincerity and grati tude, and is unquestionably one of the most remarkable ever given in connection with a proprietary med icine. Mr. Scott's letter was addressed to C F. Moss, a well-known druggist of Hanson, Ariz., who has the Tanlac agency for that town, and was for warded by Mr. Moss to the Tanlac offices at Atlanta. His letter follows: Dragoon, Ariz. Mr. C. F. Moss, Benson, Ariz. Dear Sir As you expressed a desire to hear more about my case, I will try and tell' you part of it. I was down and out nearly all the time for two years with rheumatism and stomach trouble. I guess I have taken a barrel of medicines, internally and exter nally. I also went to Hot Springs, and out of all that was ever done, I never got over one week's relief at time. After going down to 116 pound which' is very light for a six-footer I kept getting worse until I had no de sire to eat and couldn t sleep more than two hours at night. At last my wife ordered a bottle of Tanlac from the druggist at El Paso, Tex., which was the nearest place we could get it at that time. One even ing about four days after I began tak ing Tanlac, I ate a fair meal and en Joyed it, the first in many months. Ey tho time I had taken half of the first bottle I thought I had a good appetite. Put when 1 finished the sec ond bottle I could hardly eat enough to satisfy me. Well, I have finished my ninth bottle, have gained eighteen pounds and am back on the job every day. Mrs. Scott and myself are willing to go before a notary and make affl davit as to the truth of every state Eicnt in this letter, which you are at liberty to publish and use for the ben fit of others. Yours ver v trulv, (Signed) . HARRY B. SCOTT. Accompanying the above was a let trr addressed to the Tanlac offices, Atlanta, Ga., referring in the highes terms to Mr. Scott and his wife, and Faying- they were ready at any time to go before a notary public and swear that laniac is the. only medicine h bad ever taken that had any effect on his rheumatism and stomach trou ble.

SPECTACULAR even In these days of the ultra unusual, permeated with wit and humor which is at once spontaneous and effective, and enacted by a group of artists remark ably adapted to the portrayal of the characters in "The Admirable Crich ton," it is no wonder that the screen version, "Male and Female," is at tracting such attention at the Colum bia theater. Since its opening at the Columbia last Saturday there has been scarcely a time during the hours in which the theater is open to the public that lines of waiting persons, eager to stand in line an hour if necessary, have not been waiting outside the door. At times these lines have been two and three deep and have reached for more than a block. No other pic ture during the year 1919 is said to have had a "popularity" equal to the record which "Male and Female" has already established. It is a vastly different Thomas Meighan that plays in "Male and Fe male." His work does not predominate to the same extent as in "The Miracle Man," but it is as complete, as sin cere and as likeable.

Cop Who Ate It in Son'a Apples. Disparaging Them the While, Tlptoea Quietly By. EVERT good story has a sequel. Likewise, it's the man who waits to register the last laugh who geta the big applause. On Saturday last Captain John T. Moore, commanding the day relief of the police bureau, telephoned his son, Raymond G. Moore, who owns an apple ranch at Underwood, Wash.:. "Can you spare a box of apples for my boys?" "Sure! Can yob send a car out for them? All right. They can take 'em off the back porch." It was all right with Raymond. Captain Moore turned to his desk sergeant. "Tell some of the boy. they can get a box of apples at 799 Cleveland ave nue." he directed. ''They'll find 'em on the back porch." The desk sergeant beckoned to a department driver. "Take a run out to 799 Cleveland avenue and get a box of apples off the back porch." Puszled were the police officers as the police car ran out to Cleveland avenue. Was the desk sergeant aid ing and abetting apple thieves Oh, well, all right, so long as they1 got In on the apples. And the apples were there. A whisper and stir followed the ar rival of the apples at the police sta tion. Finally a wag, apple in hand, was inspired to comment on the qual ity of the fruit to Captain Moore. "Bet these beat the apples on that wonderful Moore ranch up the Colum bia," suggested the bluecoat. Thus the captain found that the identity of the donor was a secret. But he spake not. for the captain is a canny man and modest withal. It was not till Ray mond G.
