TITE MORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1920 Will IS CAUGHT IN RAID Oil STILL Surprise Party Staged by Coos Bay. Authorities. MANY BELIEVED INVOLVED Evidence Said to Have Been Ob tained Implicating Number of Prominent Residents. MARSHF1ELD, Or., June 6. (Spe cial.) The greatest haul made in this county of moonshine apparatus and material was made today by county and city officers at an isolated spot in the coast region between North Bend and Empire. In the raid the officers walked in upon a woman i who was operating the two stills, I which were used by the owner, hold-J ing a two-quart syrup bottle beneath the worm. A contractor named Kirkland, a resident of North Bend, was met on the trip and kept in the party, under the belief that he was operating a still in the vicinity. The officers re fused to give out the woman's name, saying they had evidence to obtain from her. Two Lodsed In Jitll. Kirkland and the woman were both taken to the county jail by Sheriff Gage on the afternoon train. The stills were being operated in a tent and were the most complete and had the greatest capacity of any yet dis covered. The raiding officers said they were hidden in a retreat diffi cult of access, and had once before been almost discovered by officers who said they had been within 50 feet of them. The country is heavily wooded with interwoven salal and other brushes and criss-crossed by ravines. At times the searching party had to crawl to make progress. Mnfth In Ripe. The two st'lls were joined into one outlet and 360 gallons of mash made from raisins was ripe and being run off. The woman, on seeing Sheriff Gage, entered the tent and poured out sev eral gallons of liquor before he could stop her, he said, but he had seen the method of obtaining the fresh liquor and held the two-quart bottle under the worm long enough to pro cure sufficient evidence for his pur pose, and the officers then poured out the mash and burned the apparatus. The officers declare they have evi dence that a number of prominent Coos Bay men are interested in the plant. RAND HEADS DELEGATION (Continued From First Pap.) the present administration, the de partments at Washington- have be come a beaureaucracy out of touch with the people and unapproachable except through members of congress and attorneys resident at Washington. We demand a reform of these abuses. The officials and employes in the de partment are the servants of the peo ple. A proper letter of inquiry written by any citizen should be answered within a reasonable time by the fed eral employe to whom it is addressed, and a failure to answer should be ground for discipline and discharge of the employe responsible therefor. Another resolution by K. J. Adams, which would have the convention pledge the republican party to the ex tension of federal aid for road con struction in the western states in lieu of the taxation lost through the large areas of public lands withheld by the government from the tax rolls, also went to the same sub-committee. At the same time this sub-committee is called upon to consider a resolution offered by Walter L. Tooze Jr. urg ing the convention to indorse the woman's suffrage amendment and to demand that the republican governors of states which have not yet ratified call special sessions of their legisla tures to complete ratification in time for the elections in November. One Delegate In Absent. On motion of Mr. Tooze", the Mc Camant sub-committee also received authority to pass on the filling of vacancies in the list of alternates, it being discovered that D. J. Cooper of The Dalles, one of the delegates elect ed from the 2d district, was not pres ent and unlikely to come. M. Z. Donnell of The Dalles, who was runner-up in the 2d district delegate race, -was chosen to act in Mr. Cooper's place, at least until Mr. Cooper ar rives. Sanfield Macdonald, who is contest ing the right of Wallace McCamant to sit as a delegate in the convention because of McCamant's refusal to support Hiram Johnson, who received the Oregon primary preference vote, occupied a seat in the rear of the conference room and questioned the right of the delegation to name the alternates, holding that such was the province of the credentials committee of the convention. National Committeeman Ralph E. Williams here disclosed that, irpon his resolution last Tuesday, the na tional commitee had made up a tem porary roll of the Oregon delegation. including as alternates those losing candidates for delegates who recfived the highest vote. Mr. Macdnald was advised that his name will be includ ed in this temporary roll as an alter nate -at-large. Temporary Roll Made lTp. The temporary roll as made up for Oregon, subject to the approvol of the credentials committee, follows: Delegates - at - large Wallace Mc Camant, Conrad P. Olson and Charles H. Carey of Portland, and John L. Rand of Baker. First district Wal ter L. Tooze Jr. of McMinnville and K. J. Adams of Eugene. Second dis trict W. H. Brooke of Ontario and D. J. Cooper of The Dalles. Third district Dow V. Walker and Hamil- ton Johnstone of Portland. The alter nates are: At -large Sanfield Mac donald and William S. Harrison of Portland, and D. R. Butler of The Dalles and Dan V. Boyd of Enterprise. First district Dr. Joel Booth of Lebanon and Frank T. Wrlghtman of Salem. Second district Frank S. Curl of Pendleton and M. Z. Donnell or The Dalles. Third district David M. Dunne and Daniel Kellaher of Portland. Lodge Note Mentioned. Delegate Tooze called the' atten tion of the convention to the fact that the voters of Oregon had In structed the delegation to vote for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa chusetts for vice-president. He said that, no plan having been made by another state to nominate Senator Lodge for vice-president, it was the duty of Oregon to place Mr. Lodge's name before the convention. He moved that Judge Carey be author ized to nominate the Massachusetts ' ' l. . . . T..i.. S-aa.. .J 1 1 ,1 on the grounds that his voice was not in trim for such a stupenduous task. On suggestion from Judge Carey that the matter of nominating Sen ator Lodge should be well considered, caused action to be deferred. . Veterans Are Doorkeepers. National Committeeman Williams announced that Oregon's three door keeper appointments had gone to ex service men, the appointees being Pan J. Malarkey Jr., Edgar B. Piper Jr., and Lynn E. Coovert, all of Portland. Mr. Coovert, it was learned, will not be here, consequently the vacancy will stand until some ex-service man from Oregon appears on the scene. Mr. Williams announced that it ap peared possible to apportion certain days among different guests to give every Oregon - visitor in the "city an opportunity to see the convention. The Oregon national committeeman has 58 guest tickets and he called on delegates this afternoon to notify him of the presence of any Oregon residents in the city in order that provision may be made for their -attendance at the convention. Of the alternates on the temporary roll, it was disclosed this afternoon that only four are present, Sanfield Mac donald and William I. Harrison, dele-jgates-at-large, and Dr. Joel Booth and M. Z. Donnell, district delegates. An effort will be madei however, to fill all vacancies. FATHER YOUTH'S ACCUSER ALLEGED SLAYER DELIVERED TO AUTHORITIES. Alaska Mar. "Mushes" 450 Miles to Bring Factor In Recent Tragedy to Justice. SEATTLE, Wash., June 6. (Spe cial.) Jimmy Maguire, son of James H. Maguire. northwest Alaska super intendent of the United States bureau of education, alleged slayer of Rev A. T. Hoare in a lonely Episcopal mis sion at Point Hope in April, has ar rived at Nome in custody of his father and a United States deputy marshal after "mushing" 450 miles over north ern ice and snow from the scene of the tragedy, according to advice re ceived here today. Trial of the youth, who is said to be demented from long isolation in the north, will be set within the next few days. Then the details of the mission tragedy and events which led up to the shooting will become known. Broken in spirit and visibly de pressed over the tragedy, Mrs. Ma guire, mother of Jimmic, sailed Friday on the steamship Victoria on its first trip of the 1920 season into Nome. Mrs. Maguire, who was in Los Angeles when news of the murder was flashed from the Alaska radio stations, left immediately for Seattle, but was com pelled to wait here several weeks un til the first sailing to Nome to see her son. Mrs. Maguire scorns the reports that her son is demented. Although the slaying of Rev. Mr. Hoare at Point Hope, the northern most mission of Alaska and inside the arctic circle, occurred on April 27, news of the tragedy was not known until early in May. Since then only meager advices have reached here, but it is known that the shoot ing occurred after Mr. Hoare returned from a long trip by dog sled to Point Barrow. Jimmie Maguire, who was assistant to Mr. Hoare and had charge of the Point Hope, mission while the latter was absent, shot the minister a few minutes after his re turn from Point Barrow. The boy's father was the first white man to reach the scene, and he placed his son under arrest. The father, with son In custody, then mushed the trail for six days to Candle, where the son was turned over to a united States marshal. After accompanying the marshal and prisoner to Nome, the father mushed back over the snow to his work of supervising Eskimo schools. Rev. Mr. Hoare's body was buried near the Point Hope mission. 36 WED; 22 WOULD PART Raker Records for 3fay Summar ized; Receipts Fall Ofr. BAKER. Or., June 6. (Special.)

However, evi dence in hand leads to a general be lief that the shortage is artificial and that the present propaganda will be followed byan increase in price. "We appeal to' you to have insti tuted an Investigation' or hearing In California, to the end that full pub licity may be given to the facts and justice be assured to all. "Three thousand business firms, members of the California Automo bile Trade association, pledge their support in any investigation that you may undertake in this situation, which Is costing millions of dollars."

Ira ml i Sound, has characterized the Ladd & Tilton Bank ever since its organization sixty one years ago. As a small bank, in a pioneer community which had the bar rier of the Rockies between it and the East, it met many difficulties, had serious problems to solve. That very fact made it peculiarly one with community life; caused officers 'and directors to realize keenly that the interests of the Ladd & Tilton Bank and those of its customers must be identical ; that as their business expanded, so must the facilities of the bank. Accordingly, as rapidly as was consistent with good banking policies, new departments have been added, space has been increased, and everything that would facilitate the handling of business quickly and satisfactorily has been adopted. Deservedly has the Ladd & Tilton Bank gained a reputation for coupling the experience brought by age, with the pulsating strength engendered by keeping in close touch with modern methods old in experience young in spirit, it stands as the ideal banking institution. The Ladd & Tilton Bank, on this, its sixty-first anniversary, solicits your patronage on the basis of efficient banking service. Whether you desire to open a savings, checking or commercial account; are consid ering broadening out into foreign trade channels, or wish investment advice, its officials will welcome an interview.
