Former Saloonman Shown to

. License January 8. v
PtRKINS BAR NEW PLACE
TUslrict Attorney Will Ask Jury
Today Why Such Move Was
Made by Man Who Agreed to '
Sell Only Soft Drinks.
Oistrict Attorney Walter II. Evans
held a trump card when George Schultz.
proprietor of the temperance bar at 293
"Washington street, appeared for trial
before Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday
on appeal from the 90-day sentence
imposed by District Judge Dayton upon
bin conviction for selling liquor.
He played the card yesterday after
noon,, but the jurors don't know it yet.
They will when the innocent-appearing
paper introduced as evidence, but not
lead, near the close of yesterday's ses
sion, is produced in court today.
The ace held by Mr. Evans is the
sworn transcript of the record of trans
fer of the Federal liquor license held
by Schultz in his saloon at l'JO Fifth
street, to his new location in, the Per
kins Hotel building on January 8,
eight days after the prohibition amend
ment went into effect. The possession
of this license prevents the United
States Government from joining in the
prosecution with the state authorities.
It was taken out July 1, 1915, and ex
pires June 30. 1916.
Revenue Collector Testifies. .
Milton A. Miller, collector of inter
nal revenue for the district of the
state of Oregon, certified that the
transcript was a correct one. This bit
of evidence had not been unearthed at
the time of Schultz' first trial.
Why would a man who had no in
tention of violating the dry law go to
the trouble of having his Federal liquor
license transferred to the bar where
he had agreed to dispense only soft
drinks? That is the question the Dis
trict Attorney shoves to the front of
the case today.
The attorneys took all morning yes
terday to select a satisfactory jury.
Both side3 had exhausted all their per
emptory challenges, when Attorney
John McCue, appearing for Schultz,
thought of another question.
"I would like to ask the jurymen if
any of them are acquainted with the
ladies from the W. C. T. U.," he said,
directing attention to three wearers
f the white ribbon seated con
spicuously In the front row of specta
tors. Judge Morrow ruled that he
would not consider an affirmative an
swer to the question cause for the dis
missal of a juryman, and sustained the
objection of Deputy District Attorney
J. L. Hammersly. Deputy District At
torney George Mowry appeared yester
day with Mr. Hammersly.
WhiwUy Pnrrhlu Told.
Thse first witness to be examined was
Ous Yungeberg, who testitled to the
purchase of enlivening ginger ale high
balls, and a loganberry-whisky concoc
tion that was the "real thing." He
was certain he could tell the difference
between ordinary giner ale and that
which had been given an "edge" by
the addition of whisky. He said the
highballs received at the Schultz bar,
when he first applied, were undoubt
edly straight ginger ale, but that, as
lie became known there, he was served
highballs of pre-prohibition taste.
Yungeberg told of being offered
"something special" by Schultz, and of
drinking something purporting to be
loganberry juice, but heavily charged
with whisky. He also related the pur
chase of a pint bottle of whisky for
7u cents.
"How did you know the ginger ale
contained whisky?" asked Attorney
McCue.
Witness 'Keels" Whisky.
"I drank, tasted, smelt and felt it,"
explained the witness. Further probed,
he said by felt he meant the effects,
and not his sense of touch, told him it
was whisky.
An attempt to impeach the witness
was made by Attorney McCue, who
endeavored to show that Yungeberg
had committed perjury in swearing to
a. false affidavit of insanity in the Mar
-ella Clark case. Judge Morrow finally
objected to the' questions of Attorney
McCue.
J. D. Mickle, State Dairy and Food
Commissioner; Mrs. Mary K. Stevens,
clerk in the office of Mr. Mickle, and
.Deputy Constable Clyde Nicholson, tes
lifted to a fair test being made ou some
of the liquor seized, and that pur
chased, supposedly, by Yungeberg. Con
stable Andy Veinberger related the
events of the raid on the bar January
2S. The attempt of Schultz to dispose
of a shaker full of liquid as the officers
entered, by throwing it into a tub of
water, which later showed an alco
holic content, was recounted.
Several of the jurors in the first case
were subpenaed by the defense yester-
oav, for what purpose was not appar
ent.
The scrap of evidence introduced
without comment or objection yester-
day read as follows: George Schultz,
retail liquor dealer, 120 Fifth street,
Portland, Or., from July 1, 1915, to
June 30, 1916. Date of payment and
Issue of certificate, July 1, 1915. Serial
number of stamp, 107.069. Filing num
Vier of form, 907. Transferred to 29S
Washington street. January 8, 1916."
The Schultz temperance bar opened
for business the day after the transfer
was made.

Other Political News.
THE number of candidates for five
State Senatorships from Multno
mah County, for which nomina
tions will be made at the primary elec-
tion, was increased to eight yesterday
with the formal announcement by John
Gill of his candidacy.
There are really six Senatorial places
to be filled from this county, but no
one as yet has filed or announced his
candidacy for the unexpired term of
Arthur Langguth, Portland Municipal
Judge, who resigned as State Senator a
few days ago. This is a two-year term,
while the other five vacancies are for
four-year terms.
In his statement to voters filed at
Salem yesterday, Mr. Gill, who was a
member of the Multnomah delegation
in the House last year, says that he
favors as little legislation as possible
and the best, and registers his opposi
tion to extravagance and inefficiency
In transaction of state business.
"I will assist all sound, constructive
and progressive legislation," his state
ment reads, "support a just and liberal
policy for the maintenance of public
education, and for the conservation of
the state's rights and resources. I will
defend the state fish and game fund
against diversion to any other use than
that for which it is contributed."
Mr. Gill, who also served in the 1893
and 1903 Legislatures from this county,
received the highest vote of any legis
lative candidate at the 1914 general
election. He was born in Yorkshire,
Fngland, in 1851, and came to America
with his father's family three years
later. He has lived in Portland since
1876.

DALLAS, Or.. April 5. (Special.)
Every day witnesses a new entry into
the list of office seekers in Polk Coun
ty. If the present rate of increase in
the number of candidates continues,
there will hardly be enough unbiased
voters left in the county to cast a deci
sion, as almost every other person one
meets is either an actual or a pros
pective candidate. Never before has
there been such a dearth of offices to
go around, nor so many would-be pub
lic servants. Whether this unusual con
dition is due entirely to atmospheric
conditions is a moot question.
However, there is a predominant feel
ing that after the primaries all pre-pri-mary
differences will be forgotten, and
Republicans will unite behind their
party nominees. The complete list of
candidates in Polk County today fol
