ITS PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
Federal Probe 0 Management
Of Friars' Club Is Probable;
Wilbur Caught Between 2 Fires
Permanent organization of the Ore
gon City branch of the National
Hughes' ulllance was affected Mon
day night. E. L. Johnson was elect
ed president; f. J. Tooze, secretary,
and M. E. Dunn, treasurer. Mr. John
son, Judgo Grant n. Dlmlck, L. Sttpp
and C. Schuebel will attend as dele
gates the state convention of Hughes'
alliances in rortland October 6.
Considerable enthusiasm was mani
fest at the meeting Monday night. Ity
laws and a constitution will not be
adopted until after the state meeting
of tbe alliances in rortland. The con
stitution of the local branch will follow-
closely after the lines of the con
stitution adopted by the state organ
ization. The delegates from the local
branches from all parts of tho state
will attend the meeting in rortland
on the sixth. The morning session of
the convention, which will be held In
the auditorium of the rortland gen
eral library, will be devoted to the
election of officers und the adoption
ot by-laws and a constitution. In the
afternoon Congressmen Hawley, Me
Arthur and Sinnott will speak, and in
the evening the delegates will attend
the Fairbanks' rally. Railroads of the
state are offering a fare and a third
rates to rortland for the convention.
The possibility of u federal probe of
i the management of the friars' club,
I tho MilA'aukie resort raided by Sheriff
Wilson und nine deputies early Sun
day morning, became known here
Tuesday. Julius Wilbur, manager of
tho resort, free under $1000 bail pend
ing a grand jury investigation, may
have violated federal statutes in tbe
conduct of his place.
Wilbur is caught between two fires
as far as a federal liquor license is
concerned. With statements from
those caught in the raid, with 70 bot
tles of assorted liquor held as evi
dence, and with other information
which to date has not been announced
by District Attorney Hedges, but Is
said to be important, local authorities
are confident they can prove Wilbur
sold liquor at his resort
If he produces a federal license to
escape federal prosecution Tor selling
liquor without a license, the license
can be used as evidence against him
in the state case. If he cannot pro
duce the license, federal prosecution
is considered almost certain by local
authorities.
Sheriff Wilson uud his deputies
wore unable to find the license during
the raid last Sunday, und are inclined
to believe thnt he had none, thereby
laying the resort keeper open to feder
al prosecution.
The federal statutes provide a fine
of from $100 to $1000 and a Jail sen
tence of from four months to two
years in case of conviction on a
charge of selling liquor without a
license.
Dottles declared by the district at
torney's office to contain 98 per cent
whiskey and about 2 per cent ginger
ale, labeled ginger ale, which were
found In the friars' club, may also
lead to a federal charge of misbrand
ing under the federal pure food and
drugs act. federal authorities In rort
land will also look up the law relative
to the importation and handling of
absinthe, several bottles of w hich were
found In the raid.
