14 THE MORNING O REG ONI AN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1920 CAG POWDER EOF MILK USE IS DENIED Damascus Creamery Man ager Answers Mickle. STATEMENT HELD FALSE M. Work Avers Dairy and Food Commissioner Admitted He Had Seized 'o Evidence. and state chemical laboratories were taxed to test the- liquor presented as evidence. Charges against Joe Mezzina, who operates a soft drink establishment at 240 Burnside street, were dismissed In municipal court yesterday after noon, because the alleged hard cider could not be analyzed in time. Mez- zina was arrested August 26 by Pa trolman Miller, together with three drunks, Thomas Toniter, James tic Daniels and Edward Lambert. It de veloped in the hearing yesterday that Mezzina had been selling bitters con taining 18 per cent alcohol. Mezzina was ordered to return the bitters to the manufacturer by Muni cipal Judge Rossman and advised to cease selling the "stomach remedy" in the future. THIRD ROAD SUIT IS FILED POLK COUNTY TRIES TO STOP BUILDLXG "L's" TO DALLAS. The charge of State Dairy and Food Commissioner Mickle that the Port land Damascus Creamery company "manufactured" milk and sold it as "fresh milk," is not true in any parti cular, asserted A. M. Work, general manager of the creamery company, who made a public statement yester day after conferring with Mr. Mickle. . "We did not manufacture powdered milk for sale as fresh milk in any Quantity, either one gallon, 1000 gal lons or 20,000 gallons," said Mr. Work. Mr. Work's statement follows: "This morning at 8 o'clock I called up Mr. Mickle. dairy and food commissioner, ami told him 1 saw in the morning paper that he had announced he was going to summon me. and I notified him that It -wasn't necessary to summon me as I was coruiriff right over. Explanation Is Asked. I called upon Mr. Mickle and demanded that he explain the charges made through the newspaper. The only substantiation he irave me. as a hasis of the charge of manufacturing 20,0(10 gallons of milk was that Mr. Katz, president or tne aairy league, had informed him about 10 days ago that we were manufacturing milk from powder, and that he knew that we had purchased 20 barrels of powdered milk. He had a bottle of milk which he claimed was our product, and which he claimed was made from powdered milk. In his statement to the newspaper, he specifi cally remarked that "ordinarily we would proceed in a case of this type by first seizing a sample of foodstuff. In the case of the Damascus creamery, we have dis pe:ied with that formality." Mr. Mickle admitted to me that he had not conducted an investigation and I Ijaturally questioned his fairness and his right to issue such a statement without a proper investigation. Charge Is Declared False. The charge of State Dairy and Food Commissioner Mickle that we had manu factured and sold 20.000 gallons of pure milk from powdered milk and sold and deiiverd 20,000 gallons of such milk with out complying with the state law requir ing the branding of such milk, is not true In any particular. We did not manufacture powdered milk for sale as fresh milk in any quantity, either one gallon, 1000 gal lons or 20,000 gallons as Mr. Mickle, very cleverly calculates we must have done. Mr. Mickle said that If we did what he suspects we did, the milk is pure and good, but that we violated the law by not branding the milk. How could we violate a law for not branding the evidence of which Mr. Mickle states he dispensed with the formality of obtatnlng. Mr. Mickle stated that the alleged use of powdered milk for fresh milk was due tr, the withdrawal from us of the milk of the members of the dairy league. In the next breath he stated that this matter had nothing to do with te present case or controversy with the It-ague. Mr. Mickle wu a witness for the dairy league in this case, and took the stand in their behalf. If it has nothing to do with the present case why then did Mr. Mickle rush to print witn a supposedly sensational story be fore he had taken any evidence of manu facture, distribution or sale of one single quart of "made" milk. Fresh Milk Supply Cited. a The Damascus company has alt of the fresh milk that it can use for its custom ers, and in fact we have had a surplus for days We shall have a little more to say on this subject later, which may teach Mr. Mickle to be a little more careful about making slanderous and malicious state ments in behalf of his dear friends. The people of Portland know that there is a case In court. The records show that Mr. Mickle was a witness for the other siae, ana aamlts it. Anyone can read tnat story and see that It Is directly connected with the trial and that the story origin ated with a lead pencil. The Damascus did purchase powdered milk, but its use was confined to butter starting, as Is customary in making butter and cheese, a perfectly legitimate use, during the time we were temporarily short of skimmed milk. The skimmed milk that l.i reported to have gone down the sewer from the league's plant Into the Willa mette river, and the pure skimmed milk that the league admits it sold for animals, instead of for human consumption would have served the same purpose. The head- line of the "scoop" reads "Mickle Suspects Powder Milk Use." and that is the wuole story in a nutshell. Mickle In Not Satisfied. Mr. Mickle said yesterday that he would get the full facts in the case, and that he was not satisfied with Mr. Work's statement. "I did not say to Mr. Work that I got my information from Mr. Katz," lie said. "I certainly do not act as an agent of the league, and I did not dis close to Mr. Work where I got my in formation and I will not do so until the proper time comes. "I am working in the interests of the public. For proof of Mr. Work's statements, I must understand why his company needed to purchase such a large supply of powder, when it had not been used before." Mr. Mickle will take several days for his investigation. BOAT BLAST KILLS ONE Entertainer of Lonely Mining Camps Burns to Death. bBAlTbU, Wash., Aug. 30. Will- Injunction Asked to Be Made Per manent; Bill Changed; Senator Testifies. - Polk county efforts to stop the state highway commission from building "L's" to Dallas and Inde pendence entered the courts again yesterday. Two suits have been started, one compelling the building of certain roads now being on appeal and the second to enjoin the building of a road on the location from Holmes Gap to Rlckreall to Monmouth south, with spurs or "L's" to Dallas and Independence. The trial started yes terday was an effort to make per manent the temporary injunction. A large number of residents of Polk, Yamhill and Benton counties the state highway commissioners. state highway engineer and secre tary attended the trial. Probably the most important testimony given yes terday was by W. C. Hawley, who was a member of the state senate in 1917, when the first road bill was passed. Mr. Hawley stated that when the bill came to the senate from the house of representatives, it said "through" Dallas. Mr. Hawley ex plained that he believed the state highway commission should be per mitted to use its own judgment and so he amended the bill to read to instead of "through" Dallas. Most of the witnesses on the stand yesterday testified as to the trade routes through the county of Polk, and the witnesses from McMinnville McCoy and elsewhere did not con sider that the route located by the commission was objectionable. Today the plaintiff will present witnesses. WIFE OF PASTOR SUES SEATTLE EVAXGELIST'S 3IATE ACCUSES OTHER WOMAX. MISTAK SB E COSTLY TO COUNTY Grading of Hospital Grounds Foot Lower Than Intended.

A mistake of one foot in the sur vey on the site of the new county hospital on Marquam hill has cost the county of Multnomah exactly $3650.

Fish Reported Plentiful In Far Xorth, but Weather Made Operations Difficult. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 30. (Special.) The fishing season in Behring sea this year was one of the most dis appointing In years, said F. A. Daly, manager of the Alaska Portland Packers' association piants, who ar rived from there this morning on the steamer Akutan. "There was an abundance of fish," he continued, "but the weather was so bad the fishermen could not go out after them. The se ries of southeast gales was the worst I have seen in 20 years. "The loss of life among the fisher men was heavy. Probably from 12 to 15 men employed at the various plants were drowned. We lost three. Two of them were C. Anderson and J. B. Simonson of Astoria, who were fishing at'Naknek when their boats capsized. Other boats tried to reach them but were unable to do so. The third man was Carl Frederickson of Portland who was drowned at Nusha gak. He' was second mate on the steamer Akutan and fell overboard from a launch while attempting to rescue some fishermen whose boat had been swamped. "As to the pack, definite figures were impossible to' obtain, but I be lieve as a whole it is about 10 per cent better than that of last year, but if the weather had been favorable it would have been a big one. We got 44,000 cases a Nuehagak and 26,000 Cases at Naknek. This is about double what we put up last season; but only two-thirds of what we had figured on. Some of the companies packed less than last season, while others did better. "All the vessels of the cannery fleet had sailed from Nushagak river when we left on August 19, but one or two vessels belonging to the Alaska Packers' association were at Naknek. We towed the Berlin out but dropped her before reaching Unimak pass. We encountered a terrific gale Sat urday night and the Akutan took water, but no damage was done. "During the season employes of the United States fisheries bureau killed trout, and a bird called (km in Wood river, and I believe accomplished a vast amount of good for - the indus try. These trout destroy millions of salmon and every one they opened was filled with young fry. The terns are also destructive to salmon." BLOW HEP AT PEKIN MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED IN CAXTOX, REPORTED.

Chief interest in the California primary election tomorrow lies in the three-cornered senatorial fight for the republican nomination. The candidates are Samuel M. Short- ridge, well-known San Francisco at torney and republican party leader; William Kent, ex-reoresentative in congress, of Kentfield. and A. J. Wal lace, ex-lieutenant-governor, of Los Aneeles. Shortrldge has made his fight on a platform calling for absolute rejection of the league of nations and for a protective tariff. Kent has expressed his belief in ultimate "free trade," but has announced his intention of voting or a tariff on some California prod ucts if elected. His record of voting for the Underwood tariff bill was con sldered against him. He did not make his league position clear, but advocat ed at least reservations and said he would welcome a new effort to unite the nations of tne worm. Wallace Indorsed by Dry. A. J. Wallace made his principal plea for votes on the indorsement of the anti-saloon league and his resi dence in southern California. Inas much as Senator Johnson was from the north Wallace raised the cry that southern California should have rep resentatlon in the senate. Wallace originally stood for the league of na tions, with or without reservations, but he issued a statement in the mid die of the campaign saying that he would insist on at least some reserva tions. On the tariff he was consid ered "fair" by protectionist Interests. The only question on which all three candidates agreed was that of Japanese exclusion. Senator Phelan, the democratic incumbent, who had no opposition for re-election, was also a strong exclusionist, which made it certain that California will have two senators in the congress of 1921 work ing for legislation that will bar fur ther Japanese immigration. Shortrldge for Light I.lqnor. On the wet and dry question. Short ridge said he favored light wines and beer. Kent sought unsuccessfully the Anti-saloon ' league indorsement and then said the prohibition question was out of politics, while Wallace played for the bone-dry votes. The winner in the republican primary will meet Senator Phelan in November and an other battle royal will be the result. Republican leaders have pinned most ft their faith on Shortrldge. That is, hey think they have the best chance of winning in November if Shortrldge is nominated. The British influence in American politics was injected in the contest when the British Calif ornlan, a monthly magazine published in San Francisco, came out strongly against Shortrldge. The followers of Shortrldge immedi ately took up the gage of battle and announced they were willing and glad to fight British interference in Amer lean politics. Wallace, the Los An geles candidate, was born a British subject. The British Californian said either Wallace or Kent would be ac ceptable, and suggested that one of the two withdraw to . defeat Short ridge. Labor Split on Pair. Labor will be split about evenly between Shortrldge and Kent. The fact that Kent contributed $500 to the defense of the I. W. W. members on trial in Chicago has been used against him. Shortrldge was indorsed by P. H. McCarthy, ex-mayor of San Francisco and president of the State Building Trades council. Kent has been indorsed by Andrew Furuseth and Paul Scarrenberg, both members of the liberal wing of labor. Nearly all of the Johnson organ! zation in the state was out openly for Shortrldge, although the senator took no hand in the fight. The. fact that his chief lieutenants were all either actively working for Short ridge or were advising with Short ridge managers continually was taken to indicate that Shortrldge's nomination would not be disliked by the senator. Democratic Ballot Lacking. Out of a total registration of 1,300,- 000 not more than 550,000 votes will be cast In the state, two-thirds in northern California and one-third in the southern part of the state. Near ly all of the voting win be with re publican ballots as there were no democratic contests except in ais tricts where republican candidates for the assembly were seeking demo cratic nominations as well as re DUblican. A ffw democrats are do ing the same thing.

Treaty Moat Be Kept "This part of the bill has not been much discussed. A treaty, as you now, Is a contract between nations.

The countries will scarcely consent to modify the treaties giving us a right to discriminate against their com merce and at the same time permit us to enjoy the rights which the treaties secure to us. A formal .notice will probably result in the entire abroga tion of the treaty. Business May Be Embarrassed.

Section 34 has also caused some agitation In diplomatic circles here and is understood to have figured in many diplomatic conferences at the state department.
