ROSEBURG DRUGGIST IS BLAMED
I'lHlrict Altorney Neuiier Says His
Invest ijul ion Will He Thorough
mid OttViiili'i's Will I'lolmbly
He Brought to Justice.'
That they purchased qpantities of
whiskey, beer and a medicinal pre
paration known among pharmacists
and local "topers" as Purola, and had
partaken of the same at their liesure,
was the substance of the testimony
offered by one member of the Uose
burg High School student body at at.
investigation begun here Friday by
District Attorney George Neunei.
Other members of the student body
called before the district attorney
corroborated tho statement of this
witness, but not one of their num
ber would volunteer to tell where
they had purchased the liquor.
The Investigation was Instituted
by the district attorney following
the receipt of complaints to the ef
fect that liquor was being peddled
among the students of the High
School and that several of their num
ber had been detected in a seml
lntoxlcated condition. Although Hie
Investigation Is being conducted be
hind closed doors, the officers say
they have learned enough to con
vince them that a local druggist, and
not the bootleggers, is partly re
sponsible for the deplorable condi
tions that exist,
Tho witness who furnished the
district attorney with the most Im
portant evidence at Friday's investi
gation is a member of a prominent
Oregon family and for that reason
his name Is withheld from publica
tion for tho present. When called
on the "carpet" and asked for an
explanation of his conduct, the young
man admitted that he and his com-j
panlons had purchased beer, whiskey I
and I'urola. He also said they had;
partaken of the liquor, and at times1
hnd felt partial effects of Intoxica-j
tion. He steadlastly refused to tell
where he and his companions pur
chased the liquor or identify the ap
parent source of supply. When ques
tioned regarding the alleged pur-j
chases of I'urolu, the young man ad-j
mitted that ho had bought quanti-l
ties of this drug and gave the ilis-j
trict attorney the name of the drug-;
gist making the sales. j
Tho evidence given by this young
man has convinced the officers that '.
a Koseburg druggist Is partly re-j
sponsible for much of the debauchery
that has been reiiorted to the di.i-
trict attorney during the past few j
weeks. The records show, accord-:
ing to the officers, that the drug-:
gist in question only a few weeks
ago ordered and received a shipment!
of 2:1 dozen bottles of I'urola. Tiie!
shipping receipts and other data con-'
corning the somewhat unusual con ;
slgnment of this drug were placed in '
the hands of the grand jury during
the last session of the Circuit Court,;
but no drastic action materialized, r
I'nder the present prohibition law ,
the sale of Purola cannot be pro-j
hiblted and for thnt reason the of
ficers are compelled to rely on the
honesty of the druggist dispensing
the product. A local druggist stated :
this morning that Purola contained'
not less than 25 per cent alcohol.!
and Is merely a subterfuge to defeat ;
the intent of the prohibition law. The;
officers claim that there is only one!
druggist In Koseburg who is handl-j
Ing the drug at the present time. j
In addition to taking the testimony
ot the witnesses above referred to,
the district attorney on Friday ex
amined six other members of the;
Kdseburg High School student body.;
In each Instance, they admitted v.-'
reiving liquor and Purola, but re-:
fused to tell where the former was
purchased. The evidence given by
one of the young men has been trans
cribed and will be sent to his father,'
who Is residing in a distant townJ
The parents of the other boys called
before the district attorney will also
probably be advised of the conduct
of their offsprings.
While the officers do not relish,
the Idea of advertising the condi
tions that exists in the high school at
the present time, they admitted to
day that they had received numerous
complaints of late and that the ques
tionable acts of some of the students
had been going on for some time. In
fact, one of the prosecuting officers
said he had been told that one mem-:
ber of the student body only recently
entered the study hall In an almost
helpless condition. He was la!r ex
cused by the teacher and h'ft the
school building. Other boys attend
ing the high school are said to have
also Indulged freely in liquor, with
the result that the efforts of Intoxica-'

In yesterday's issue of The Re
view there appeared an item to the
ellect that Koy Sales was called to
Camas Valley to care for the body of
John W. Wiley, who died there re
cently. In the item it was stated
that Mr. Sales was formerly em
ployed at the local undertaking par
lors and was well qualified to care
for a body. M. IS. Hitter, part owner
of the ltoseburg undertaking parlors,
says all bodies entrusted to his care
are handled in privacy, and that Mr.
tales "nor any other person are al
lowed to participate in the work of
preparing them for burial. Ilecause
of this fact, Mr. Hitter says he wants
it known that Mr. Sales did not learn
to care for bodies under his direction
or supervision.

Acting on the advice of the dis

tors this morning issued a subpoona
for a young lady member of the high
school student body. She will prob
ably appear before those officials on
Monday and testify in connection
with the investigation which is now
being conducted by tho district at

tion could not be reached today, it
is believed she will testify to the ef
fect that she was rendered almost
helpless rcently as the result of
drinking a quantity of Purola or
liquor given to her by a male mem
ber of the student body.' After be
coming intoxicated, it is claimed the
young lady went to the home of a
relative where her condition became
known. She was accompanied there
by several boys and girls, according
to reports.
In the event the young lady testi
fies in accordance with Information
that has reached the district attor

the hoys Involved in the transaction,
even though they refuse to tell where
they secured the liquor. The girl in
question is about J5 years of age,
and has attended the high school
regularly for several months. She
was out of the city today tind could
not be reached by the officers.

Krom the articles appearing in yes
terday's editions of the local papers
with reference to the infantile par
alysis cases at Looking Glass, one
might infer that (he local health of
fice had been negligent in its duties
as to quarantining these cases, lie
cause of this the following facts are
given to the public personally.
(Hi Wednesday. Nov. 2!Mh, at 7::m
o'clock in I he evening, I wo reports
were handed to 11 ic will) the state
ment that they had not been quaran
tined. Accordingly I went out 011 the

sible) and put on a quarantine as
required by law. Incidentally 1
learned that one case had been taken
sick with the disease on Nov. I5th,
and had been under a physician's
rare but was not reported until the
l!!Mh. This being an added source ol
danger, 1 look measures to close the
Looking Glass school and to control
the mail there.
Not. being desirous of using thi;-.
office as a means 0 personal adver

forced upon me in self defense.
The statement that I took no ac-

I correct, as 1 did not receive any In-
