Harness Dealers Resolve to
Patronize Local Jobbers.
SUMMER SESSION FAVORED
Wane of Horse's Popularity Dis
cussed and Handling of Spe
cially Side tines to Over
come Loss Recommended.
Northwest harness dealers will buy
their supplies in future from local
Jobbers insteaa of sending East for
them. A resolution to this effect was
adopted unanimously yesterday by the
Northwestern Retail Harness and Sad
dlery Manufacturers Association, bow

coming year will be elected at this
morning's session. The convention
will adjourn tonight.

holding- the annual convention will be
changed from January to either Rose
stlval week in June or to Buyers'
"Week In late Summer. It is believed
by the convention members that it
will be more convenient for the har
ness men to gather at that time than
earlier in the year and that a bigger
attendance will be the result. j
Testerday afternoon's session was
an open one, at which there was a
treneral discussion of business sub
jects. The chief topic was the inroads
the automobile is making into the har
ness business and to what extent the
horse is beins relegated to the back
ground by the new vehiele.
There was no doubt about the se
riousness of this problem In the minds
of the men in attendance. They re
ported from the several districts they
represent that auto users are growing
in numbers and the pleasure cars and
trucks are replacing horses. However,
they did not despslr of the future of
the harness business, for speakers rec
ommended putting In side lines and
specialties that would make up largely
for the business lost to them by the
adoption of the automobile.
George Lawrence. Jr.. presided at
the session. Several speakers dis
cussed the situation informally, among
whom were: T. M. Shearman, San
Francisco: Charles Thornthwaite.
Bend: Ambrose Cronln. Portland:
Harry 'Warner. Portland, and 1 Wal
ter. Cheney. Wash.

PAROLE RIGHT ISSUE
Judge Morrow Sets Hearing on
E. C. Herlow Application.
DELAY IN ACTION FACTOR
Court Is in Doubt as to Juris
tion In Case In Which Sen
tence Was Passed More
Than Year Ago.
The right of Circuit Judge Morrow
to erant the aoDllcatlon of B. C. Her
low for a parole will be contested by
District Attorney Evans Saturday morn
ing, at which time a hearing will be
held before Judge Morrow, me hear
ing originally was to have been held
this morning, but was postponea yes
terday by agreement of all parties.
Whether or not Heriow is entitled to
a parole will not come up for argu
ment' Saturday, It is believed, the en
tire question centering about the juris
diction of Judge Morrow in a case
which bad been disposed of. by sen
tence, a year and a half ago.
That Judge Morrow was under the
impression that a formal application
had been made to Governor Withy
combe for a pardon for Herlow, when
he permitted the long delay in action
In the case, is the explanation made by
B. E. Toumans, attorney for Herlow, in
a letter sent yesterday to Governor
Withy combe.
"After the JuJge returned irom
Prinevilla last week and saw Herlow's
application for parole, which announced
that an 'informal application' bad been
made for a pardon to your excellency," "
reads the letter, "he got into communi
cation with me to ascertain if a for
mal application, duly served on the Dis
trict Attorney ana mane a maiier m
rMord. had not been made for a par
don, prior to his writing an open letter
to you. Jane 23.
"Upon my informing him that this
waa not the case he declared that he
was under the impression at all times
that the matter was formally up be
fore you, or he would not have per
mitted it to have been delayed as it baa
been.
"On several occasions Judge Morrow
requested me to urge a determination
of the application, as the DiBtrict At
torney wanted it disposed of, and that
something must be done. I explained
to the judge that we were urging ex
ecutive clemency and requested that
the commitment be withheld until some
action was taken by the Governor.
"This the Judge consented to do, ex
plaining that he considered it inappro
priate to commit any convicted person
while he waa seeking m. pardon from
the Governor."
Herlow has paid on the S3o00 wmcD
he and W. H. Chapin took from Mr.
and Mrs. William Grace by fraudulent
pretensions $400 in cash to Chapin and
has obtained the balance by a collateral
note signed by 51 responsible persons.

is the opinion of orchardists. It will
have little effect, if any, on prune,
cherry, pear and apple trees. Horti
culturists declare that when the tem
perature falls to IS degrees below zero
there is always strong possibility of
peach trees suffering. The last time
peaches were killed by freezing was In
1909. The crop was almost a total
failure, Orondo alone escaping to any
degree.

MORAL TONE IMPROVE
PROHIBITION SAID TO BE DRIVING
AWAY DISREPUTABLE ELEMENT.
Will H. Warren In Report to Mayor
Albee. Says Drunkenness In Room-lng--Hoases
Infrequent.
Prohibition not only is prohibiting
splendidly in Portland, but it is driving
out the underworld, according- to a re
port on the city's moral conditions
made yesterday to Mayor Albee by his
secretary. Will H. Warren. The report
is based upon evidence gathered by
Mr. warren and. police detectives and
plainclothes men.
Mr. Warren reports that drunkenness
in rooming-houses has been rare since
January 1 and that there have been
greatly improved conditions. He gives
the names of 23 men and women who,
he says, were notorious characters in
Portland's underworld, who have left
the city since January 1.
The report says in part:
Men and women from all classes of the
underworld have left or are leaving here
lor other places -where the laws either are
administered with less severity or where
prohibition does not Interfere with the full
and free use of intoxicants.
One of the most noticeable and remark
able features of the new condition is with
reference to the unfortunate women of the
underworld, who, In spite of everything that
could be and was done prior to the advent
or proamnion, puea tneir trade tnrouirn
out the city. Cutting: off of ample strong
arinx supplies zrom tneir rormer b aunts
has made it next to Impossible for them, in
many instances, to live here, and, there
fore, they are leaving for other places.
Since prohibition became effective, in
rooming-houses, where, on many occasions
previously, tne ponce louna drunken men
and women, they now find no drunken per
sons and there has been a decided decrease
In the number ot men frequenting estab
lishments where questionable women reside.
In fact, conditions have become such that
drunkenness is en exception in hotels and
rooming-houses.
As to prohibition, it is prohibiting eplen
dldly, and all that is needed to make it a
first -class success is the lull co-operation
of the courts and the juries. Some good
stiff Jail sentences or roc kp lie "Jolts" for
"hUnd-piggers" will be of great assistance
in notifying the violators of the law what
Is meant by its provisions.
