THE , MORNING OREGONTAX, WEDNESDAY". APTITL 21, 1920 JUNGE WOT YET ABLE ' TO GET $5000 BAIL 11 Attorney to Advise Guilty Plea if Finding Fraud. ij jf - "t ..' t DEALER'S STORY CREDITED District Attorney Believes Onlj $200 and Xot $50,000 In Checks Was Taken Along. "1 will advise August Junge to plead guilty if I receive any evidence of fraud in his dealings." promised E. V. Littlefield, Junge's attorney yes terday following a conference in the county jail with the automobile truck dealer who whs apprehended in Scot land. S. r., after a flight from Port land on March 29, and brought back to ihia city Monday night. According to Deputy District At torney Maguire. Junge probably will get a hearing before the grand jury before the end of the week. In the meantime hail has been reduced from $15,000 to J5000. The latter amount has not yet been furnished, however, and Junge remained in jail yesterday. It was expected that the amount could be raised within a day or two. listrict Attorney Evans does not believe that Junge left Portland with $30,000 in travelers' checks, as re ported here following his disappear ance. On the other hand, the district attorney is Inclined to believe Junge's statement that he had only $200 with him when he left this city. Deputy Maguire, who has been in vestigating the Junge case, declared yesterday that it was extremely un likely that the alleged defalcations would amount to I100.0O0, as an nounced during the preliminary in vestigations. "So far, we have found between $40,000 and $.".0,000 duplicated in sales contracts." he said, "but I do not believe the total, amount to be ac counted for will exceed $40,000. Be cause of the troubled financial waters In which he found himself before he left, he could not possibly have got ten away with that much cash, as a large part of it was necessary, ap parently, to cover the deals, pay the heavy overhead expense he was op erating under, and to. permit him to live up to the standard toe set." Attorney Littiefield indicated yes terday that Junge would plead bank ruptcy in the federal court and put the affairs of the Diamond T. Truck agency of which he was manager into the hands of a receiver for straight ening out. LAND BILL IS APPROVED HAWLEY MEASURE PROVIDES SALE QF TRACTS.

Let Your Children Learn on a Good Piano A poor Piano has no musical quality of tone. This lack of tone quality is a seri ous menace to the "ear." Also in a poor Piano the action is hard and irregular, and the fingers and hands are improp erly trained. Therefore, if you intend to have your children learn to play, provide them with a good Piano. It is a mistake to think that a cheap or poor Piano is good enough for them to "bang on" their first impressions are lasting ones start their training right give them the best you can afford. Consider quality and not cheapness. A good, re liable dealer has good Pianos at mod erate (not cheap) prices, and sells them on convenient terms.
