DICE HALL MAY
BE CLOSED BY
V. F. HABERLACH
Th wonderful variety of thrilling
entertainment provided guet and lo
cal oMeir at tbo Clttckomo dunce
at HaUerlaoh' bail Saturday evim
liiK will probably result In a ceitnatlon
of the port for the next few month.
VV. V, llaborlach, owner of tho hall
told D 'pwty District Attorney Burke
Mondny bo would probably cloe th
place up aa a dance bull,
The place fan been under lnvtl
Ration by Special Vic Investigator
ave Robinson, of Portlond, and local
officer. Snturday evening Sheriff Wll
aon and Deputy District Attorney
Burke arrived at the hall about 11:00
o'clock, Jut In, time to brak up a
free-for-all flubt under progress In
the county road adjoining the hall,
participated In by quite a bunch of the
dancer. The rlnf luadera wore not
captured and no arrent were made
on the fight.
In addition they picked up a young
woman of Portland. In company with
two young men who gave thlr name
a At Hudder and M. I Wright, the
younj woman being In' a atate of ex
treme Intoxication, Tbey were headed
for the dance when Rhorlff Wilson
noticed the young woman' condition
and rretd the three. The girl wa
brUKht to Oregon City, herttctnnt
taken, and the boy placed under ball
to appear Tuesday afternoon. Ths
girl wa taken to her home In Port
land and turned over to her parent.
Ooorgj Abdey, arreated Just aa the
dance broke up, while In the act of
taking a healthy awlg of wine, by
Officer Meade, appeared bufore Judge
Slevor Monday and pleaded guilty
to a violation of the prohibition law.
Tho offlcera found thing In thj
dnnro hall proper were run like any
other dnnco, but a rough crowd, large
ly from Portland, wa In attendant,
probably Ofty automobile being lined
up along the county road. Manager
. lltiberlai'h elated he wa willing to
co-oiierote with th government In
an way, and that while thing out
aide the dunce hall wero beyond hi
control, be would be willing to clc
up the place permanently, if it would
help the army department In it
"cleanup." Voluntary action In do
lug will probably obvtnta the nece
alty of covernment Interference.
Tho dance Saturday night wa
cloved promptly at 12:00 o'clock,
under Sheriff WllHon'i orders.
One hundred and twenty-five dol
lura waa the price by Al Riidder and
M. L. Wrljtht, Portlands, for giving
their lady friends an alcohol cocktail
enrouto to the Clackamas public dunce
Saturday nlfiht. A cool hundred of this
Hum represents tha Que assessed
against the boy by Judge Slovers,
and tbo balunce of $25 waa the
charges mude by a Portland garage
man for the -jse of tho car.
Only the fact that both are likely
to become "Sammiea" in the near
future aaved them from a more
severe sentence. Saturday night they
were arrested at Cluckamaa by Sheriff
Wilson, the boys being in company
with a Portland girl who wu badly
intoxicated. All had boon drinking a
combination of alcohol and grape
Juice.
The boya put up ball for their ap
poarance here, necessitating keeping
tholr machine out practically all night
The girl waa brought to Oregon City
by the officials and then taken to
her home in Portland, where alio was
turnod ovor to her mother.
Doth boya plead ml guilty to the
charge of violating the prohibition
law brought against them by the dla
trlct attorney's offlco, when they ap
peared for trial. Doth are huHky
young chaps who expect to be called
to the colors in the near future.
The officials would not make public
the name of the girl, stating that she
was a Portland high school graduate
of a respectable family In the city,
and over the Juvenile ago.

An automobile accident occurred on
the suspension bridge Sunday after
noon, when Thomas Cook, of Portland,
driving a heavy car with a number ot
passengers, ran into Mr. and Mrs.
Myron Whitney, their little three-year-old
daughter, and Mr. Whitney s
sister, Miss Whitney, who were on
their way home at Willamette. The
tour were walking along In the same
direction as the automobile was go
ing, and were close to the railing.
Bystanders who saw the accident say
the driver was careless when he
struck Mr. Whitney, his wife, daugh
ter and Miss Whitney. All four were
thrown to the ground, and the auto
mobile ran over Mrs. Whitney. It is
also said that while the woman was
pinned beneath the ,car that Cook re
mained in the automobile and at
tempted to back his car from over her
body, but was prevented in doing so
by parties who rushed to the wo
man's assistance, and lifted the car
from Jier body. She was painfully
bruised and her ankle was crushed by
the car wheel passing over it.
Other members of tho party were
severly shaken up, and their clothing
practically ruined. All were removed
to the office of Dr. M. C. Strickland,
where they were given medical at
tention, and were able to leave for
their home at Willamette.
Cook promised Chief of Police
Cooke, of this city, that he would re
turn to Oregon City Wednesday.

DRAFT PROGRAM
MAP BE SPEWED
T0.isS.aiS
Washington, April 3. Measure to
speed up the draft program are In
contemplation and an official an
nouncement is expected soon.
The intention is to meet the emer
gency In France. For that reason the
800,000 to be called thla year will be
called more rapidly than waa pre
viously planned.
War department official said no
arrangements were in sight looking '
to calling out more than -the 800,000
men it waa planned to take into thn
ervlce.
Reports that the draft would be
raised from 800,000 men to 1,500,000
were denied.
Officials do not regard it as possible
that more men will be sent abroad
this year than the department already
has arranged to summon, even with'
additional British shipping made
available as troop transports. There
are now under arms here and in Eu
rope more than 1,500,000 Amerlcaan
soldiers. The number will have been
raise to about 2,500,000 by the end of
the, year, counting drafted men, vol
unteers and special technical forces
to be enlisted. If it is possible to
get a total of 1,500,000 men In France
by January 1 next the b?st previous
hopes of the war department will
have been realized and there still wilt
t9 a force of almost equal size in
training here.
The present effort Is directed more
towards getting the men to France
early in the year to meet the emer
gencies ther-9 than toward increas
ing the number to be sent during the
year. ' .
Many factors, it was said, enter
Into any proposal to incraase the
number of men under training here.
They must be drawn largely from ag
riculture and Industrial fields and the
allies' supply lines, as well as the
Americans', 'are largely dependent
' upon American food and supplies.

FOR UNCLE SMI
Every man, woman and child in,
Gladstone, who attended the patriotic
meeting in Paddock's hall Saturday
night marched up and signed the roll
ot the American Loyalty , League
chapter without hesitation.
After hearing stirring addresses by
School Superintendent Calavan, Sen
ator Walter Dimick and B. T. McBain,
they clamored for an opportunity tj
affix their signatures to a document
that stands for pure patriotism. Mr.
McBain urged the audience to con1
tribute to the Armenian-Syrian Relief
work.
There were about 150 people at
tended. EO
Fire of unknown origin starting
shortly before 10 a. m. today in the
oakum warehouse of the Standifer
wooden shipyard at Vancouver, Wash.,
completely destroyed the structure
and five carloads of oakum stored in
the building is a total loss. The dam
age is set at $30,000.
Although Is is believed that
spontaneous combustion caused tho
fire, an investigation has been order
ed. Two hundred soldiers from Van
couver barracks wore rushed to the
shipyard and patrolled the scene of
the blaze. '
As the building -la located outside
of the main yards and the wind was
from a favorable quarter, the vessels
on the ways were not endangered.
Tho Vancouver fire department was
quickly on the scene but owing to the
highly inflammable nature ot the con
tents of the warehouse water had
little effect on the flames.
The loss is fully covered by insur
ance. It is not thought that any delay
In ship construction will occur as rap
plies of oakum can be requisitioned
from other yards for immediate needs.
A carload which was being unloaded
today will prevent even a temporary
shutdown. -
