m THE MORXIXG OREG ONI AX, WEDNESDAY, JAXTJAT?T 7, 1920. K y V 33 CITY PRISONERS WORK RUCKPILE KeIFy Butte'Presents Scene of Much Activity. MAYOR MAKES INSPECTION V.rvuA and Waier Diet Recommend ed for Those Who Tail .Show Interest In Task. to -After months of idleness. Kelly Butte rockpile now presents as much activity as a western city In the height of a gold rush. Thirtv-eiirht prisoners, white, black and yellow, clad in hiue denims, swung huge sledgehammers, piloted dinky cars filled with rock for the crusher and !n various other ways busied them selves as members of the city council and other city officials inspected the new establishment. A high board fence, built by former service men who were engaged by the city to aid in preparing the place for use, now surrounds about half of the establishment. The work of complet ing the fence will continue for sev eral days and in the meantime numer ous guards all overseas veterans with marksmanship records patrol the high butte, ready to cope with any situation that might arise. Mayor Pny Vialt. Prisoners engaged at the rockpile appear well satisfied. Many of them work with a will, enjoying the out door exercise, which takes them from the indoor confinement of the jail. Here and there is a prisoner who sulks, but proper treatment for all such is now being devised by Chief of Police .lenkins. Mayor Baker, who is taking a per sonal interest in the rockpile activi ties, was walking among the prison ers yesterday when a dusky youth recognized him and greeted him with a "Hello, boss." "How are you?" asked the mayor. "l,ooka like you've had some trouble." "Sure have, Mr. Mayor. I've been sick and out of a job and now look at me." "When do ypu get out?" sought the mayor. "At 7 o'clock tomorrow. Mayor. And I'll sure go. too, believe me." City Commissioner Bigelow took keen Interest in one prisoner, an al leged I. W. W. who on Monday at tempted to fire the bunkers at the rockpile. For more than 30 minutes yesterday Commissioner Bigelow watched this prisoner, as he deftly evaded ail work which confronted him. Finally, unable to contain him self further. .Commissioner Bigelow rushed to Of f leer 'Pchaefer, in charge of the rockpile, saying: "See that duffer with the plaid cap, Schaefer? Well, if I was in your place, I'd take that fellow and put him on bread and water. He's no good and should be ' shown that he can't stand around here and not work." Treatment to Be Given, The rockpile official assured the in dignant city official that the plaid cap individual would be taken care of. A Chinese prisoner amused Com missioner Pier. He took delight in the breaking of huge rocks into "lit tle ones" and to avoid detection hur ried from one place to another with out any apparent reason. "What about that Chinaman?" asked Commissioner Pier of one of the officials. "Weil, we have tried to make him work for several days, but it is no use. Now and then he will jump in and work, but as a rule he is too busy going from one point In the rockpile to another to be of any use. When, we talk to him he jabbers In his native tongue and says 'No savve work.' And he certainly told the truth, too." Work 1m Systematized. The work at the rockpile has been systematized. Certain groups of pris oners are assigned to the task of breaking rock, others are assigned to loading dinky cars, others truck the rock, and others work at the crusher. The men are taken from the police station to the rockpile and return in patrol wagons. When the new emergency hospital is completed the Kelly Butte prison quarters will be utilized and the trips from the city with prisoners will be unnecessary. It is probable that the county will send prisoners to the rockpile then also. (Special.)

NEW FISH Hi BILL IS CAM E DEVELOPING Details Worked Out by Legis lative Committee. COMMISSION OF 7 PLANNED Larceny Charge Is Preferred by Messenger, Once Ilobbed and Approached Again. Jasper Hill, who said he was a waiter by profession, had a little 'bunk game" which netted good profits until he made the mistake of trying it the second time on the same man, Ernest Haneberg, messenger for the Western Union, with the result that he received 120 days In jail from Municipal Judge Rossman yesterday on a charge of larceny. Hills father is said to have a chicken ranch about two miles be yond Montaviila. and this formed the basi of the game which Hill operated. It was a year ago last May that he first successfully played the game on Haneberg. He represented to the messenger boy that he was looking for a man to work on his father's ranch for $75 a month and his board. This looked good to Haneberg and he took the job, the plan being that the two go out to the ranch the following morning. They slept together and when Haneberg woke up the follow ing morning all the valuables he had were gone, including a watch and a ring. Some time later a warrant for Hill's arrest was issued by Deputy District Atrorney Deich on complaint of Ros coe Clayton, at that time living at the Y. M. C. A., who had lost $15.75 in the same manner. Clayton is said to have woke up in the night to find Hill dressing. When he asked what was wrong Hill is said to have made some excuse for going out. . It was Monday that Hill made the mistake of trying his game on Hane berg for the. second time. He ap proached him and asked if he knew of anyone who would like to take a job on a chicken ranch. Haneberg recog nized the man and immediately call- ng Patrolman Thorpe, had him ar rested. Detective Craddock immediately recognized Hill as the man who had been wanted In the Clayton case. Clayton, however, had disappeared and consequently a new warrant sworn to by Haneberg and charging Hill with larceny was issued. OREGON GIRL IS VICTOR MARGARET GARRISON WIXS V. S. ORATORICAL CONTEST. Willamette University Tolls Vic tory Bell and Holds Rousing Rally When News Is Received. DES MOINES. Ia., Jan. 6. Miss Margaret Garrison of Willamette uni versity, Oregon, was today the holder of the title of first place' in the na tional oratorical contest last night. which closed the convention of the Intercollegiate Prohibition association here. She Is the first woman to at tain the highest honors In the ora torical contests of the association. Henry IC Cassidy, Ottawa univer sity, Kansas, was awarded second place, and Barton R. Pogue, Taylor university, Indiana, third place. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., Jan. 6. (Special.) When the news reached here this morning that Miss Margaret Garrison, Willamette alumni of 1918, had won the national Intercollegiate prohibition contest at Des Moines, the old victory bell was tolled and a rousing student rally was conducted by Yell King Flegel. Although the result did not come as a complete surprise, it Is unique in that Miss Garrison is the first woman to take the highest honors in a na tional contest. She won the right to represent the west by winning . the coast contest in 1917. The winner's oration was heard first hand at Des Moines by the five Willamette delegates to the student volunteer convention. This is the sec ond national contest in which a Wil lamette orator has represented the Pacific coast institutions. Commercial Fishing and Interests of Sportsmen of Oregon to Be Handled Separately. Senators Norblad and Handley and Representative Bean are preparing a bill to submit to the special session of the legislature which will contain the result of the conference between the governor and tire Joint committees cf the senate and house on fish and game legislation. This bill, or rather the Idea it contains, was approved by all the members of the joint commit tee excepting Senator Thomas. As planned there will be a fish and game commission of seven members, but the work of the commission will be in two departments one to look after commercial fishing and the other the interests of the sportsmen. i Three commissioners will have charge of the commercial and three of the sportsmen's departments. The seventh member will act as an arbi ter in case of dispute. Governor Olcott has asked that thej legislature create two commissions, but the joint committee did not ap prove this plan- for the reason that in certain matters the commercial nien and the sportsmen must co-operate, and the two departments must be co-ordinated. The governor, how ever, informed the members of the committee that he will abide by the plan proposed, which he considered in the nature of a compromise. Funds to Be Separate. Under the proposed new commission each department will handle its own funds. The sportsmen will be re sponsible for the money coming in from that source and must make the best showing possible to satisfy their following. The commercial members of the commission will at tend to the propagation of commer cial fish. In the event of a dispute the seventh member will sit in judg ment and act as a jury. It is also the intention of the Joint fish and game committee to have the .legislature designate the personnel of the new state fish and game com mission, or at least name six mem bers, with the governor naming the seventh. The idea of the legislature assuming responsibility of naming the commissioners is not opposed by the governor. By the time the special session convenes next Monday, -Messrs. Nor blad, Handley and Bean hope to have the draft of the bill completed and ready to introduce. Senators Nor blad and Handley, coming from As toria and Tillamook, are interested in commercial fishing, and Representa tive Bean, from Eugene, is one of the most ardent sportsmen, in the state and has taken an active part in legis lation for sportsmen throughout his long career in the legislature, both as member of the state senate and house. Larger CommlMlon Vrsred. Senator R. W. Ritner, who attended the conference at Salem, believes tlere should be about five commis sioners on the sportsmen's end of the commission. He says that Portland now has one member, and eastern Oregon and southeastern Oregon are represented, but that there should also be representation "for the Will amette valley. Mr. Ritner has written his view on the subject to Mr. Bean for the latter's consideration. The crux of the conference at Salem did not come until the joint committees went into executive ses sion. Throughout the day there was a vast amount of talk about fishing on the Rogue river, which had no part in the purpose for which the con ference was called. Senator Thomas, who is opposed to commercial fish ing in the Rogue, voiced his objec tion to the proposed fish and game commission being divided into .two departments. Mr. Thomas demanded that there be two distinct commis sions, one for game and the other for the commercial interests. He was a minority, however, as the other mem bers of the joint committee considered the plan agreed on as the most work able. The proposed measure, thus backed and supported by the joint fish and game committee, should be ready to report out in short order when, the legislature gets down to business.

RELIGION NEED IS SHOWN DR. JOSHUA STANSFIELD GIVES MESSAGE IX THEATER. Exceptional Overcoats $40 World's Deepest Tragedy Described With First Great Command ment as Basis. Deepest tragedy the world knows is the lack of God in human life, ac cording to Dr. Joshua Stansfield of the First Methodist church, who ad dressed a meeting held yesterday noon at the Baker theater called by the evangelistic committee of the Portland Federation of Churches. This meeting was one of a series being held this week, with the exception of Saturday. Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner, of the Episcopal church,, will be today's speaker. "A Man's Religion," was Dr. Stans field's topic. He based his talk on the quotation: "Thou shalt love the Lord,' thy God. with all thy heart and mind and soul and strength, this Is the first and great commandment." "Indeed, this Is a first and funda mental law of human life," said he. "All the laws of God as made known to us in revelations are for man. That is to say, they are made for man, on man's account. The law of the Sab bath, the law of work, the law of worship, and the laws of reverence and honesty and kindness and purity all the great commandments or laws of God are for man. "The law of religion and worship is the first great commandment, be cause it is deepest and highest and most fundamental to the best of hu man life and being. Man is so con stituted that he cannot be his best without religion. Religion is that in nate and marvelous something which consciously links and binds the soul to God, and the eternal. It makes man a citizen of two worlds, the seen and the unseen." t REED HEARS DR. DEVINE Bolshevism Mercilessly Flayed With Cutting Satire: Dr. Edward T.
