Tut QuALrrV Sto or-Portland Ready With All Your New-Season Needs f DEPUTY SOUSER DISMISSED SEARCH OB LIQUOR 1 "Discharge of Special Officer Follows .Resistance Offered by Him to Members of War Emer , . gency Squad. VT. H, Sousfr, special deputy sheriff in the employ of the Pullman Com pany at the Union Depot and the ter minal yard, has been dismissed from the service. This is the sequel to re sistance offered by Souser to officers of the war emergency squad last week when they attempted to search the coaches at the terminal station in Quest of contraband liquor. Lieutenant Thatcher, of the war emergency squad, contends that he has a right to search the coaches of all trains arriving- and leaving the Union Station if he feels so disposed, and any further opposition by the railway employes and special deputy sheriffs In the employ of the terminal yard iay result in an appeal to William G. WcAdoo, Director-General of Railroads, at Washington, D. C. Questions of a technical character have arisen as the result of the re cent dispute between the railway of ficials and the officers. Definition of "Train" Involved. It is contended by Lieutenant Thatcher that since trains arriving at the Union Station or their terminal are not regarded as trains and are subject to search, likewise trains scheduled to leave the terminal yard are not designated as trains until their leaving time has arrived. The railway company contends that, according to the book of rules, a train is "an engine or more than one en gine, coupled with or without cars and displaying markers." But, according to the authorities, a train is not held to be a train until the conductor receives his clearance from the dispatcher or operator and the engineer also receives a copy which authorizes them to move and operate as a train. United States District Attorney Haney has already expressed his opin ion that the officers are not authorized to search moving trains without a earch warrant. This contention the officers concede. Rlht of Search at In sue. According to the officers, bootleg gers have not evaded the dry law in the past so much by violation of the state law, as they have done in taking advantage of the technicalities of the law regarding the right of search and seizure. They advance the argument that deputy sheriffs have met the boats plying between this port and California at Astoria and have searched their cargoes on the last leg of the journey up the river. They contend that If the law applies to vessels engaged in interstate com merce that it likewise should apply to railways operating in interstate traffic There Is no doubt in the minds of the authorities that a large amount of Illicit liquor has been shipped north by evasion of the law. Subterfuges to Be Ignored. Such subterfuges as the immediate switching of the Seattle sleeper from the California train at the Union depot on its arrival at its terminal will not in the future deter the officers, they say, in searching places suspected of concealing contraband liquor. Kspecial interest is attached to the stand taken by the authorities in Port land, as it is reported that similar action has been taken by the Pullman Company in other cities since the as surance of the general circular letter of August 12 to the Portland Police De partment from the General Manager of the Pullman Company.

"Our Eagle Hut in London is visited by men of all nations, sent out to banish the Hun," he said. "In it, 700 of the finest women in England are working shifts that keep the place running day and night. "I shall never forget the Fourth of July night, when hundreds of the sol diers were standing about with no place to sleep. A man entered and anounced that the King's car was wait ing to take a load to the palace for the night. You should have seen them scramble. The car returned time and again and went away loaded. Yes, they are treating our boys fine over there. "But let no one forget tha we are paying a dreadful price for the ad vances we are making. I am proud to say that the "Y" secretaries and others In that kind of work over in France are subjecting themselves he roically to the fire of the Hun. Some have lost their lives. They are per forming a most valuable service." Mr. Seaman will leave In a few days for other fields in this country. CATTLE TO BE CONSERVED Oregon Dairymen Pleased With Action of State Council. J. D.
