ItETVRX OF KAIT KXPECTED
Attorney for Outlaws Denounces
v York Club Owners. .
DETROIT, April 30. "Obviously the
Xew York club has no respect for
either the lesral or moral obligations of
Kauff's contract with the Federal
teag-ue club." said Edwin E. Gates, gen
eral counsel for the Federal League,
who is here on lefal business today.
"The owners of the New York club evi
dently have completely disregarded the
case pending before Judsie Landis, be
fore whom it is tacitly understood that
matters would remain in status quo
until the court rendered its decision.
"We expect that the heads of organ
ized baseball will order Kauft returned
to Brooklyn. If they do not do so, they
will find that the followers of the grame
throughout the country will not stand
tor such action."

Garb and Cot t usee Grove Pre
pares for CnmpalKUf
While the Chamber of Commerce
committee is carrying; forward the
Portland campaign for the observance
of "Clean-up and Paint-up Week," May
4-11, the movement is being- taken Tip
with equal enthusiasm throughout the
state and the committee here is re
ceiving daily information from various
other cities on the plans that they
have made.
Worth Harvey, secretary of the Cot
tage Grove Commercial Club, yester
day wrote to the Portland Chamber,
saying that the club in that city has
entered the movement and will go be
fore the City Council to enlist munici
pal aid.
Clubwomen of the state, who were
active in starting the movement and
whose influence was largely respon
sible for the proclamation of the Gov
ernor calling for a clean-up week, are
preparing to co-operate In the work
everywhere.
The Dalles Business- Men's Associa
tion inaugurated a clean-up campaign
a few days ago. and the result is that
that city already is in its best dress to
welcome the visitors who will come
for the celebration of the opening of
The Dalles-Celilo Canal.
Physicians of the state are emphatic
in their indorsement of the campaign
and are lending all their assistance.
One physician in a letter Just sent to
a committee in charge of a clean-up
campaign, outlines the effect of the
work as follows:
"It is much more exhilarating and
encouraging to see clean, x well-kept
yards and lawns, clean streets and
buildings than to see dirty lawns and
streets and neglected buildings. The
first example is exhilarating, the sec
ond depressing. In which state of
mind do you do your best work? The
condition of one's health under the
dirty and clean conditions Is too well
understood to need any comment."

Gregory to make an investigation of
the complaint filed yesterday in Mil
waukiee to determine whether the
Allis-Chalmers Company has entered a
conspiracy with the Bethlehem Steel
Company or others to ship shrapnel
shells to Europe.
The action is a state affair, but con
tends that certain Federal statutes aro
being violated.
The suit was discussed at the cab
inet meeting and It was understood
that the conclusion was reached that
in its present status the question was
entirely a state one.

A total of 104S licenses for gill nets
had been taken out up to noon yes
terday. 211 for set nets. 2S for station
ary gear and wheels and 23 for drag
seines. Basing his belief on the fact
that the number of licenses issued has
exceeded the number at the opening
of the season last year. Master Fish
Warden Clanton predicted that there
wotildt be an increase in the number
or fishermen on the Columbia this year.

McCredie Gives Release Note
to Little Comedian.
BARNES HERE FOR PLAYERS
Aberdeen Manager May Offer Jobs
to Eastley and Kelgcr Mar- '
tinonl Refuses Place and
. Will Go to , Oakland.
Five days hence Happy Hogan will
have the funny rield exclusively monop
olized. In order to get in under the
18-man limit prescribed for Pacinc
Coast League clubs. Portland yesterday
doled out a notice of release to George
Kircher, comedian outfielder, secured
from Atlanta during the Winter In
trade for Buddy Ryan.
Kircher s antics on the ball club have
been the talk of the town, and the fans
will grieve to see th, little fellow with
the clownish mimicry ' go the. way of
the discards.
"With Hillyard coming from Cleve
land somebody had T.o go," explained
Walter Mac. "I don't like to lose
Kircher, but couldn't very well choose
him in preference to my veterans, Lober,
Speas and Doane. We tried to make a
deal for him with the Xew Orleans
club of the Southern Association, but
received no answers to our telegrams.
I guess the Pelicans are fully equipped
with outfielders."
John M. Barnes, boss of the new
Aberdeen club in the Northwestern
League, was a Portland visitor yester
day, and it is likely that Pitchers Pat
Kastley and Elmer Rieger will land
with Aberdeen. - While here Mr. Barnes
signed Catcher ''Butch" Byler, of the
Portland club. Byler came to the Bea
vers a few weeks ago from Santa Clara
College, and showed great promise.
Barnes offered a job to Pitcher Elmer
Martinoni, another ex-Beaver, but
fdartinoni turned ' a deaf ear. Marty
will leave for his home at Oakland
In 'a few -days and expects ' to catch
on 'with San Francisco or Oakland.
Pat Callahan, nifty little southpaw,
sold by Portland to Spokane a few
days ago, does not like the idea of
oing to the Falls City. He asked
Judge McCredie for an outright release
yesterday, and. when informed that he
had already been sold to Spokane, said
he would go home to Chehalis and quit
baseball.
When Pat thinks it over, he likely
w ill be a good southpaw and report
to the 'Indians.' A youngster stands
more show of ..going to the -majors
from the Northwestern League than
from the Pacific Coast, because the
majors do not have to gamble as much
money on him.
LABOR SHORTAGE SERIOUS

LONDON, Tuesday, April 20. (Cor
respondence of the Associated Press.)
How serious is the shortage of labor in
tho British factories which are turning
out munitions of war for tbe allied
armies and navies is shown by a. visit
to one of the largest of these plants,
that of Armstrong-Whitworth, at New
castle. 'Visitors are allowed in the
works only by permit, and parts of tha
establishment are then sealed to ob
servers. "At this moment," said a representa
tive of the firm, "we urgently need
about 2000 skilled mechanics to op
erate at full capacity the machinery
now in this plant. We could easily use
6000."
In those portions of the plant "de
voted to the manufacture of shells
many of the buildings are apparently
working at full pressure. But there are
larger buildings which are almost un
occupied, with long streets of ma
chinery not in use.

Blood Risings Begin
A Mere Speck
Stop Them From Grow
ing Large and
Dangerous. .
Nearly ereryone who uses S. S. S. for
the blood recalls a friend who went
through untold suffering as the result
of a mere pimple or small blood rising.
A host of people did not realize, until
too late, what may result from a slight
skin abrasion. But they recovered If
they used S. S. 8., and In almost every
village and hamlet, every crossroad and
away back off the road Is someone who
will tell you how S. S. S.. the famous
blood purifier, restored his health.
It Is a most Interesting fact that this
remarkable vegetable medicine over
hauls the blood in a manner that ex
cites curious minds.
But it acts in accordance with ac
cepted physiological laws and yet its
effect is almost beyond comprehension
to those who are wedded -to such drugs
as mercury, calomel, arsenic, iodide of
potash, co'pper and other baneful in
fluences which all the world bears
silent testimony to their destructive
tendencies.
S. S. S. Is Indeed a nature's tribute
to whot we need and it is worthy of
note that in almost any drug store
throughout the country vou will find
It regularly in stock. Get a bottle to
day. And if you believe yours is a

of former days. C. H. Stewart, of Al
