MOUNTAIN AGENTS CALLED IS
Moonshine Hunters Arrest Owners
of Big New York. Cafe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Eleven reve
nue agents from the "moonshine
country" of Kentucky, Tennessee and
West Virginia, ordered from stalking
mountain stills to plunge Into the prohibition-enforcement
campaign In
Brooklyn, went lnfco action today by
arresting two of the proprietors, a
bartender and a waiter of one of the
biggest and most popular of that bor
ough's cafes.
The southern agents were brought
tiere to replace eight inspectors trans
ferred elsewhere after the discovery
that Brooklyn was the source from
which came much of the poisoned
"whisky" which spread death through
Connecticut.
Shortly after noon William I. Allen
Jr., chief of the revenue men from the
"moonshine country," and one assist
ant entered "The -Assembly," ordered
sherry, obtained It promptly and paid
for it in the presence of two of the
proprietors, they said. Then they ar
rested the owners, the bartender and
the waiter who served them.
"Refill" frauds are becoming com
mon here, it was learned today.
Whisky bottles which have been
tapped and refilled with other liquids
liave . been exhibited to the -police.
Without drawing the corks the liquor
had been drawn off through a hole
drilled in the bottom of the bottle.
Refilling through the same hole was
followed by plugging It and selling
the contents under the whisky label.
Virtually everything from cold tea to
varnish has been disposed of in this
manner, the police say.

CHANGES IN FAIRS ASKED
Resolutions1 Adopted by County
Fair Managers, State Fair Man

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Jan. 2. (Special.)
C S. Morton, editor of the St. Helens
Mist, St. Helens, Or., gave some func
tions of "The Community Newspaper"
in an address before the community
life conference held here this week.
Mr. vkforton Is president of the Ore
gon Newspaper conference and his
paper has been regarded as one of
remarkable influence In western Ore
gon farming.
"The interests of a community
newspaper should be centered in the
Community in which it is located."
said Mr. Morton. "It should truly rep
resent the people of the community
and lead in all progressive move
ments." In telling of the work of the Mist
Mr. Morton spoke of the influence
which a farm newspaper can exert
In getting good county agriculturists,
In acquainting the farmers and towns
people -and promoting a better feel
ing between both and in starting co
operative associations.
Potato Expcrlmcati Made.
Potato growers were told by W. S.
Averill of the Oregon experiment sta
tion, that out of the 26 different lots
of seed potatoes obtained from rep
resentative sources last season, the
yield varied from 17 to 288 bushels
per acre, the reasons for this dis
crepancy being due to seed in poor
condition, the presence of disease in
the poorer strains, and to certified
seed In the higher strains. It was the
consensus of opinion that there would
be a keen shortage of good stock
for the coming season, owing to
freezing of stock and bad weather
conditions of last season.
Resolutions were passed by the 12
county fair managers," state fair man
agers and county agents who met
here this afternoon, in which the edu
cational feature of the county fairs
was maximized as applied to future
fairs. - Embodied in the resolutions
were recommendations against the
operation of questionable concessions,
favoring throwing county fairs open
to livestock men' of other counties,
favoring holding co'unty fairs before
the state fair, requiring uniform clas
sifications for all fairs to correspond
to the state fair classifications; to
provide a sliding scale with 50 per
cent advance in premiums where over
10 animals are shown, afid that score
card placards be worked out which
would provide for each award with
the Judges' reasons'
Reasons to Be Reejuired.
A livestock recommendation made
would require judges to give reasons
for placings at the time of making
awards; require prize winners) in live
stock to parade each day after the
awarding under penalty of losing the
prize; require ail. livestock to be uni
formly placarded with name, breed,
classification, age, breeder, and name
of owner, and would encourage Judg
ing contests among farmers and
breeders. ..-...
The state fair would) be asked, ac
cording to another resolution, to
award premiums. for county exhibits
on relative merits of exhibits, allow
ing each county to exhibit products
representative of that county.

EXTENSION OF TRAINING TO
THREE YEARS SUGGESTED.
Northwest Division, Western Socie
ty of Naturalists, Meets
' in Portland. -
Pre-medical training was the main
subject for discussion at the regular
midwinter holiday meeting of the
northwest division of the western so
ciety of naturalists, held yesterday
afternoon and last night at the story
hour room of the Central library.
At the afternoon -session Dr. George
Kigg, . assistant professor of botany
at the University of Washington, was
elected secretary of the - northwest
division for the coming year, to suc
ceed Dr. J. F. Bovard of the Oregon
university medical" board. The secre
tary, is the only officer elected by the
organisation.
Dr. Rlgg and Professor Peck, head
of the botany department of Wil
lamette university, were the principal
speakers of the afternoon and Dr. K.
G. Conklln, professor of psychology
of the University of Oregon, led a
discussion of the subject, "The Place
of Research in the Growth of the
Colleges of the Northwest."
The evening session wae given over
entirely t5 a discussion of pre-medical
education, four addresses being
delivered, as follows: "Pre-Medlcal
Training as the Surgeon Sees It," by
Dr. Richard H. Dillehunt of Portland;
"Pre-Medical Training as the Medical
School Would Le It." by Dr. Harold
B. Myers, assistant dean of the Uni
versity of Oregon medical school;
"Pre-Medlcai Training and Chem
istry," by Dr. W. C. Morgan, head of
the chemistry department of Reed
college, and "Pre-Medlcal Training
and Biology."- by Professor H. B. Tor
rey of the biology department of Reed
college.
That' the present requirement ot
two years of college pre-medlcal work
be lengthened to three years to add
to the general erudition and culture
of doctors was the suggestion of Dr.
Dillehunt, who declared that cultural
education and general knowledge are
being slighted in the effort to teach
the sciences to the would-be physi
cians. The practice of medicine is
still more than 60 per cent an art,
he said, and general knowledge and
high character are as necessary to
success as purely scientific knowl
edge. -:

ADCOX SAYS BRIBE ASKED
A. L. LONG, FORMER POLICE
OFFICER, ON TRIAL.
Charge of Impersonating- Federal
Officer Is Made; Witness Tells ,
of Losing Liquor.
Evidence that A. L. Long, former
Portland policeman, not only repre
sented himself to be a deputy United
States marshal, but likewise sought
a bribe to suppress a liquor charge,
was given yesterday by L. L. Adcox,
prosecuting witness against' Long,
who is facing a Jury In Judge Wol
verton's court. ,
Last June Long intercepted Adcox
near Madras, Or., while the latter, ac
cording to his own statements, was
bringing 155 quarts of whisky from
California to Portland. Adcox testi
fied he gave up the liquor only after
Long had given assurances he was a
government officer.
Adcox said he was awakened at
about 3 o'clock in the morning by a
flashlight and revolver. He says he
recognized Long, within a few min
utes, as a former policeman. He tes
tified he asked Long if he were not a
member ot the Portland police force,
but that the latter replied he had
quit the department and was work
ing for the government. Adcox said
Long told him he was from the gov
ernment office at The Dalles.
"He told me the only way I could
keep out of McNeil's Island (the fed
eral penitentiary) was to come
through with $1000," was the testi
mony of Adcox yesterday. "I told
him I had but f 250 with me. but could
arrange to get It as soon as I got to
Portland."
The - government is expected to
close its case early this morning,
after which the testimony for the de
fense will be offered.
The defense strongly hints at a sen
sation which will be sprung before
its case ie concluded, but will give no
inference of what it might be. The
case should. reach the Jury Monday.,
