following a raid which netted the
orCcers 15 dozen bottles of beer,
39 orates of empty beer bottles,
fivo 20-gallon crocks, one 10-gallon
crock, a gallon or more of less
and oilier evidence showing whole
sale manufacture of beer. Officers,
upon their arrival found of
orls being made to destroy all
evidence advance notice of the raid
apparently having been obtained.
Following; out numerous com
plaints regarding alleged beer gar
dins nt Winchester, the officers
yesterday received information suf
ficient to secure a warrant for the
arrest of Mr. Beecroft and the
searching of his place. The per
son from whom this information
was secured, however, apparently
I old friends that he had been forc
ed Inlo divulging Information, and
this "tip" was quickly given to
I he people nt the Beecroft farm,
for when the officers arrived they
found indicalions of a hasty effort
to remove all evidence.
Mr. Beecroft. .was. arrested and
a search of his place then ordered.
A Ill-gallon crock partially tilled
Willi beer wa3 found in the house,
according to the report made by
District Attorney Cordon, while in
the rear of the house, hidden in
the willows, was found a place
where fivo 20-gallon crocks had
been tipped over. - These crocks
Ft ill contained some of tlie lees, or
dregs, the officers gathering up
more than a gallon for evidence.
Some of the liquor had been caught
in the canvas covering, so that
enough of this was secured for
evidence, besides a bottle of beer.
Mr. Beecroft was brought to
Rnseburg and arraigned before
.luslice of the Peace George Jones
on a charge of possessing Intoxicat
ing, liquor, lie entered a plea of
guilty and was fined $200.
Officers went back to his place
and in an open field found a pile
of beer in which there were seven
cases and numerous other bottles,
totally 15 dozen in all. Thirty-nine
cases of empty bottles were also
r confiscated.
"Complaints have been received
in great numbers and at various
times regarding the Winchester
beer galdi-V" District Attorney
'.tordon slated today. "The opera
tions of this place have extended
over a long period of months, and
there is no question but that oth
ers are implicated. We have been
working quietly in an efforc to so
e rnre evidence sufficient to per
mit action and when all evidence
is assembled others will be taken
into custody if the facts show suf
ficient cause for further arrests."
The district attorney intimated
tlbat the grand jury will doubt
leas make an investigation and
will call witnesses before it to in
quire inlo conditions at Winches
ter where the beer garden busi
ness is said to have been flourish
ing for some time.

STATES TO UNITE
SEATTLE, Aug. 21. Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, ar
rived in Seattle today, after in
specting the Columbia Basin irri
gation project which would water
one and three-quarters million arid
acres in central and eastern Wash
ington. "I have been deeply impressed
with the serious purpose of the
Columbai Basin irrigation league,"
he said. "But this project is only
one of many that are being urged
and no one of these can succeed
standing alone. For example, it is
doubtful whether in congress this
Columbia basin project woild have
the support of any state other
than Washington and pernnps Ore
gon. The Big Boulder Canyon pro
ject would have the support only
of the little group of states that
are interested in the Colorado river
development all the rest would be
against It. Bo or any project mat
might be named. .
"But ft the efforts of all states
can be coordinated on a definite
national program of water utilisa
tion, the strife and Jealousies that
now stand in the way of develop
ment can be removed."
Hoover predicted a strong lumber
market for the next Blx mourns.
"The really important question
is how long will the present largo
demand for lumber continue," he
added. "We are now doing more
building than ever before In our
national history. This year's build
ing program is larger than that of
last year, which set a high record.
Of the next six months we are
certain, for the contracts have al
ready been let. This business is as
sured, but that is about as far
ahead as any of us can see."
Hoover praised North Pacific
coast lumbermen for cooperation
with his department in lumber
standardization and wood waste
utilization.

SEATTLE, Aug. 21. Willie Wal

for killing his wife, Kate, and sink
ing her body in a trunk in a lake,

Sylvia Howard Gaines, his counsel
announced that he "will never en

In the cell every movement of
Gaines, whom the jury condemned
to death for, first degree murder,
was visible from the office of the
county jail, - always occupied by
keepers.
The prisoner was reported to

was told to use a mirror allowed to
all prisoners in his section of the

privileges permitted Gaines since
his arrest June 29 had been dis
continued. Motion for a new trial comes be

Police Chief Searing announced
that he had renewed an innuiry on

i carrying the initial "G" which she
lounu near the spot on Green Lake
where Miss Gaines was killed and
which she gave to a man she took
to be a plain clothes policeman.
Testimony by Miss Holmes was
offered near the end of the trial
but excluded on the ground that
admission would occasion unwar
ranted delay.
Prosecutor Colvln stated that
other additional evidence npnirtst
! Gaines had been obtained by
Sheriff Stnrwlch, Unde-Sherlff
Hutcheon and Luke S. May, a priv
ato detective.
"We would have a much strong
er case if a new trial were grant
ed," declared Colvin. "Some of
this new evidence would lesson the
weight of testimony by defense
wiinesses."
"If the motion for a new trial is
denied," stated Defense Counsel
Carmody," we shall appeal to the
supreme court."
Lawyers said the only hope if
the supreme court refused to in
tervene was that Governor Hartley
might listen to ideas for commu
tation of the death sentence to life
imprisonment.

Cancer, Authority Says
(Associated Press Leased Wire.) . I
ITHACA, N. Y Aug. 21. Man
can become immuuo to cancer, but
probably never will because
society cannot direct .the mating
of men and women resistant to the
disease, as is done with uuimuls,
in the opinion of Dr. Erwin F.
Smith of Washington, D. C, who
is attending the international con
gress of plant sciences at Cornell
university.
Experiments with animals have
shown that not only is it possible
to breed a race entirely resistant
to cancer, Dr. Smith said, but also
to breed another race 100 por cent
cancerous. It is believed the same
would apply to the human race,
were It possible to direct the mat
ing destinies of man.
Dr. Smith, former president of
the Americnn association of can
cer research, and recognized as a
leading authority on cancer in this
country, believes that cancer is
caused by an organism, or para
site, and that the organism which
produces cancers or tumors on
plants is the same as that which
affect the human body. His own
experiment with plants, he said,
have shown that the cancer organ
isms produced are not unlike those
obtained in rats fed on nematodes
taken from the muscles of the
West Indlnn cockroaches found
around sugar factories or in ships
engaged in the. West Indian trade.

Annual 'Maverick' Gambol
(Associstrd Press Leased Wire.)
WOODSTOCK, N. Y., Aug. 21
The artists of the east held rai ni
val today. This was tlie flay nf
the Maverick, the annual coMmm-festival-of
tho Woodstock artists,
known to painters, musicians, writ
ers, actors and other servants of
all the seven arts throughout tli"
country.
Tlie carnival began yesterday,
but by midnight with several
thousand gathered in this valley In
Ihe Catskllls, it was but well un
der way. and at dawn the end was
not In sight.
The festival Is called Ihe Mav
erick and in fact all "brands" were
taboo. Academicians whose paint
ings hang in the great gallflies of
the world mingled and danced Willi
painters whose futuristic offering
have never been seen outside their
attic studios. Members of famous
symphony orchestras argued
fiercely about counter-point and
other mysteries of their art with
Jazz addicts who onlT know music
as something that comes out of a
trumpet with a derby .atuck over

.in time. .Superficial cancers and
those near or on the skin and
ieasily reached mny be overcouio
by proper and skilful use of radi
um and the X-ray. In this connec
'tlon, however, lie pointed out that
many supposed "cures" cunnot be
called such definitely until the
; lapse of tlmo has brought no re
currence of the malignant growths.
Arsenic One Cause.
I Repented contact with soot, conl
I tar, paraffin and anilines are be
lieved to bo among tho common
I causes of cancer, with possibly a
iinore common -cause, in Dr.
Smith's . opinion, the arsenic
j brought into tho body through cou
jtlnued use of tobacco. Dr. Smith
pointed out that cancers most coi
jmon in men were those of the
'mouth, throat and stomach, caused
possibly by contact with the nrseu
lie sprayed on tobacco as it grows
'in the field and used again as u
( preservative in tho storngo sheds,
j Tho passing of five years, or a
i decade, he believes, may demon

; theory hecauso of the Increasing
use of tobacco by women, who
now are susceptible chiefly to can

1 EUGENE, Ore., Aug. ' 21. That
the state highway commission
should take over all state roads,
both for construction and maintenance,-
and cease to require county
cooperation. Is the'' concensus of
opinion of representatives of stalo
and Portland automobile associa
tions, brought out nt a meeting
! yesterday at the Portland Chamber
jof Commerce, when Judge C. P.
I Barnard of Lane county met with
i repreHcntatlvea of the automotive
(groups to talk over proposed road
i legislation, according to word
brought back here today hy JmUc
Barnard.
Judge Barnard's proposal that
one-half instead of one-quarter of
the stale receipts from auto li
censes should he turned over 1o
Iho counties waa one of (lie prin
cipal topics taken up and the Lane
I county official explained his view
jof the value of this plan,
i The automotive group, ho said,
'holds iho opinion that ihe stale
should not he hindered in any way
at tlie present time in completion
of its program of road building,
and the fear is expressed that If
: there Is any proposal to change the
slate motor laws, there will be a
deluge of bills in the legislature
that might not all be advantageous
to the stale.
The opinion voiced at the meet
ling was that there should be no
.reduction in motor vehicle rales
until there has been a substantial
reduction in the bonded Indebted
ness of the state and counties for
"road work.
Give Vent
lis mouth. And niini:ling in (lie
throng, all costumed in colors ihe

of real artists' models.
