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.

Injunction Asked to Be Made Per

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.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 30. (Spe

evangelist," and his wife, Ida O.
Osborn, married 45 years, have come
to grief over an alleged siren living
at Kansas City, Mo., according to an
alienation suit filed in superior court
here today.
Mrs. Osborne, charging the loss of
her husband's affections, seeks $10,000
from Adelaide W. Boyer. The defend
ant's last known address was given as
Kansas City, and she was said to own
property in Seattle.
In fact, according to the attorneys,
she owns the very house and lot, 2532
Yale avenue North, on which Mr. and
Mrs. Osborne reside. Despite the
alienation suit, the elderly couple still
live under the same roof, although
they were described as estranged.
When questioned today. Rev. Mr.
Osborn characterized the talk as "all
bosh." Adelaide W. Boyer, he added,
was "a lady I know." He denied that
he and his wife had drifted apart,
pointing out that she continued to live
in the same house. He also declared
be had heard nothing about the suit.

A mistake of one foot in the sur

caused all grading to be carried one
foot lower than intended, compelling
the countv to compensate Phillip
Suetter, contractor, 5300 cubic yards
of excavation not included in the con
tract on which he bid.
The countv used the contour map
of the ground prepared for tne --ni
versity of Oregon medical department
by David Loring, civil engineer ana
surveyor. In a report to the com
missioners vesterday. Sutton & Whit
ney, architects employed in the erec
tion of the new hospital, assert that
a survey mistake caused the grading
to be carried out a foot lower man
necessary, giving the contractor
legitimate claim against the county
Though pay for 5300 cubic yards at
75 cente a yard would be .i9i5, tne
architects recommended that the
amount be cut to 13650, because of
the fact that the time expired on the
contract July 8 whereas the work
was not completed until August 21.
Full penalty is not exacted because
of the extra work, which is allowed
for in the recommendation. The
amount was ordered paid by the com
missioners.

referred to Roadmaster Eatchel yes
terday. It was stated, however, that
the county has discontinued lbs
policy of paying half the expense of

denied by the commissioners. In the
petition the lines of the district were
rearranged so as to exclude 100 acres

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."

ELAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30. (Spe
cial.) 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.
The voting will be for the following
candidates: United States senator, 11
congressmen, two Justices for short
terms in the state supreme court.

entions, that so much thereof as
Impose any such restrictions on the
nited States will terminate on the
xpiration of such periods as may be
required for the giving of such notice
by the provisions of such treaties or
onventions.'
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 treaies here affected are the com
mercial treaties on which our rights
o do business with the nations of the
world depend. Manifestly, we canno
erminate these treaties without the
consent of the country affected. Since
they are reciprocal, all we have
lght to do is to terminate the treatie
according to their terms.
"Some treaties may be terminated
on a fixed notice. Others are to run a
definite number of years and may
hen be terminated on a fixed notice.
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.
Passing for the moment any ques
tion of international good faith, we
may confront the practical difficulty
that we have no right to trade with
other countries since our rights in
his behalf rest on the treaties af
fected and, of course, it may follow
hat the business of the country will
find itself very greatly embarrassed.
"While I am not charged with this
matter, it seems to me it was some
thing that you should be glad to have
called to your attention."
The 90-day period provided in sec
tion 34 expires Friday.
Government officials have not thus
far given any intimation as to what
steps were contemplated toward car
rying out section 34. Both at the
state department and the shipping
board, it is known, existing commer
cial treaties have been under study
for weeks to determine Just what
clauses fall within the meaning of the
section, but officials have not been
willing to comment on the' results of
this investigation.
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.
