Dep uty Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday confis cated two complete whisky distilleries at 315 Prescott street, following the arrest of Joe Sagala, who is said to have served time for bootlegging. The authorities found the address of the stills among Sagala's effects, although they have no evidence connecting him with the operation of the plant. Depu ties say the two stills are capable of producing six or seven gallons of- corn whisky daily, and that they found a. quantity of corn mash. This had given off an odor of which neighbors com plained, giving an additional clew. In vestigation as to who owns the place and who had it rented will be com pleted today. Another still was located at 1003 Fifty-eighth avenue southeast. In both cases the moonshiners had deserted the plant before the officers arrived. Old Railroad Agent Dies' R. O.

In- . terest In Coming Exhibit. Among the features of the Rose Fes tival week that is attracting state wide attention is the propos! display of manufactured home products to be arranged under auspices of the Asso ciated Industries of Oregon. A. G, Clark, manager of tne organization, is making a tour of southern Oregon this week in the interest of the exhibit, and is advised that the manufacturers are much taken with the idea of seizing this opportune time to make a showing of their goods. "It is not generally known that we have the largest jam and jelly plant west of the Mississippi river," said Mr. Clark. "The only worsted yarn mill is lo cated here, the largest broom factory west of the Rocky mountains and the only carbon paper maker in the entire west is in Portland. The third largest furniture factory in the United States is in this city. One of our cracker fac tories is third in the United States for output in quantity and quality. "Distribution of Oregon products now covers the United States in many of the lirles. and in some instances Ore gon products reach several foreign countries. It is only upon the basis of equal quality, price and service that our manufacturers expect to receive support, either at home or abroad. To patronize the home plant enables it to grow faster and reach to wider fields the while their payroll goes to stim ulate all lines of business here." I i i -w - . ?

WIFE ILL, SAYS HUSBAND Woman Refuses to Admit PJijrsician Called to Attend Her; Injuries Are Believed Serious. : Mrs. Joe Popalo, 35, jumped 30 feet from the window of her home. 647 First street, yesterday, and injured her self so severely that passers-by picked her up for dead, and had taken her half way to the morgue before she recov ered consciousness. She is in St. Vin cent's hospital. The case first came to the attention of the authorities when an 'autoist hailed Patrolman Trout at Second and Montgomery streets, informing the po- lceman that he was taking the body of a dead woman to the morgue. The policeman, on hearing that the autoist had picked the body up in the street, ordered . the man to drive to police headquarters instead. Before they reached the police sta tion Mrs. Popalo had recovered con sciousness. Her husband arrived at headquarters a few minutes later and explained the case. Mr. Popalo said his wife had been sick for some days, and that yesterday when he went out to call her physician she locked the door and refused to admit-him. Before he could gain en trance to his home Mrs. Popalo jumped from the window. Meantime the autoist. whose name the authorities did not learn, drove by and saw her lying in the street. As no one else was in sight, he decided that she was dead. and. loading the body into his machine, started for the morgue. Internes at St. Vincent's hospital say Mrs. Popalo has a fractured thigh, in juries to her kneecap and probably a broken nose. It is believed that she jumped from the window while deliri ous or hysterical. . ' MM WILL CELEBRATE SOXTSIDE LODGE ATTAINS ITS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. .

EVANS GIVES FIGURES COMPARISON WITn NEW YORK IN MATTER OF DIVORCE MADE. Contention of District Attorney That It Is Too Easy to Break Marital Ties in Oregon Is Supported. In New York county, with a popula tion -of 5,602.841, there were 31.735 mar riages In 1316 and 730 divorces. In Multnomah county, with a popu lation or in isie. there were 1733 marriages and 786 divorces. With the present ratio of 401 divorces in the first three months of 1919 con tinued in Multnomah county, there will be more than 1600 such cases on record in the local courts this year. " These are the figures just' secured from latest statistics by District At torney Evans to support his contention that it is time that Oregon awakens to an alarming situation which is menac ing the home life of the state. Nev Y'ork has one statutory ground for di vorce, Oregon six. As the remedy for the instability of marriage ties in this state, Mr. Evans makes two recommendations. One is that the causes on which divorce may be based be cut down. He particularly desires the "cruel and inhuman treat ment" clause eliminated as responsible for more divorces than any other, being inclusive of all petty family squabbles from kicking the cat to .smashing the crockery. The other is the provision for inves tigation of all prospective divorces by an official with authority to deny per mission for the filing of an action if satisfied that it would be iniquitous. Especially would he enforce such a rule where children were concerned. COLLEGE TO BE BEOPENED Structure Will Be 17sed as Academy and Home for Lutherans. TACOMA, Wash., May 4.

OREGON'S WELGME " WARM DELEGATION IV NEW YORK HELPFUL TO SOLDIERS. IS J. Friedenthal, Recent Visitor, Says State's Money for Hospitality Is Well Expended. The Oregon delegation in New York is giving the' state more than its money's worth In hospitality to home coming Oregon soldiers, according to J.

"The soldiers get $3 worth for every dollar that the state has invested for the New York headquarters. "Coming from overseas, the soldiers generally have no money. . Yet that makes no difference in their welcome. They get coffee, cakes, doughnuts and cigarettes free. I know of nothing more that the Oregon delegation .could do to entertain the soldiers." Mr. Friedenthal especially praised the work of Miss Peggy Curtis, for merly a reporter on The Oregonian, now in the Oregon headquarters in New York, and a special writer for New York papers and The Oregonian.

The boys show great appreciation of her efforts. " Mr. Friedenthal visited. New Orleans and other eastern and southern cities during his tour. - He says he found conditions prosperous everywhere. with the outlook for the future bright, -i "I think the labor unrest is growing less," he said.

The rates, he said, were sought in an effort to meet the in creased prices of both materials and labor. No revision of telephone rates has been effected in Portland for manv years, he stated, and the rates which were sought are virtually the same as those -now In effect through out the state of Washington.
