18 CITY'S MOONSHINE L Drink of Thousand Devils, Opinion of Dry Sleuth. officials were dolngr their best to jtrace a mysterious motor distillery outfit said to be. operating in east ern Washington. '-According to this tale, the operators of thin modern plant work on the same basis as do jthreshing- crews. !They do not make any mash themselves, merely distil j ling the mash for their customers, jdoing away with the bother of each jand every home having its separate ;plant. They were supposed to have an adavnce man who went ahead and , Ifmrifmooc nf Pnccinn Yoop a lIIIUIIIIVtJU J I UOOIIi 1 WUI THANKS FOR PLENTY DEATH LURKS IN Operators Use Tomato Cans, Lead Coils, Wash Pans, Wire, Tin Cups, Zinc and Solder. took orders, seeing that the mash was I ready,' and properly fermented and on a certain day the still, all care i fully mounted on an automobile truck, iwould drive up to the place and the loperator would proceed to put the Imash thrmio-h a n H HaIIvai th f n STILLS jisne"3 alcohol or booze to the customer. " "fs uujur una 11. mill Liicits such a plant in existence and that it is doing a flourishing business all ef forts to trace it down definitely have tailed, federal agents say. , ' TUG DAY IS T Moonshine, drink or a thousand devils. Is the way one federal enforce- - ment agent describes the fluids being peddled in Portland, and he bases his information on some 100 different types of stills and mashes that he has personally seized since last February. This man. possibly the most feared by iHicit manufacturers of liquor, closely ' gourds his identity, because he be lieves that the less known he is the better results he can achieve. He has handled more than 200 local cases in the last ten months. Decayed fruit and vegetables from Front-street commitsion houses, al lowed to ferment and then run through a still made of old oyster cans or a green verdigris-infected copper worm is far from conducive to good health, and increasing numbers of those who take a chance to get a kick are being retreated at local hospitals. This man " sti.tes that nearly all of the violations . of the federal prohibition law are by foreigners who know nothing of sani tation and have their utensils in a ' deplorable condition as they produce the often death-causing concoctions. Fermentation Fre Poisons. Distilling in the old days was an chemical process and whisky ' was made only from carefully selected irirredients. Today the law-breaker uses any old material that comes to ' hand, swill, potato peelings, decayed fruits, and in the process of fermenta tioit many chemical changes occur that rrlmsft dangerous Doisons. As the liouor is sold as fast as it is made "" there is no provision for aging as was the case in the old days, with tne re suit that the purchaser, not innocent and therefore shouldering all the risks, absorbs immense quantities of lusel oil and other substances mat notion the stomach. ' Arsenates of lead and zinc are but two of these substances, yet seemingly sane men. In the words of this law enforcement officer, who would never think of entering a drug store and sretting poison for their personal use, will go to all manner of trouble and pay enormous prices to get poison from bootleggers. Just a casual scanning of federal records will show some of the con trivances employed to extract the alcohol from mashes and will serve to point the danger of drinking any of th.s liquor. Tin Cans Make Stills. When Aimie Estman was arrested near Drain, Or., he was running still that he had made from a five- ( gallon galvanized coffee can. Galvan ' iztng is the process of placing a zinc I coat on a sheetiron base with the aid cf sulphuric and other acids. Estman's outfit consisted of this big can, over the top of which he had a dishpan , filled with cold water and inside the b'g can and suspended by wires was a tin cup. On the bottom of this big I cold dishpan was a piece of solder, half lead and half zinc, that gathered) t - the sweat drops from the steaming ; mash and caused them to fall in the -. cup. j Pat Donovan and Jack Curry, ar retted eight miles south of Newberg. ' had a five-gallon soup can for their main receptacle that they had bought from a restaurant, and inside of this they had a set of nine oyster cans sup porting a common 15-cent wash basin filled with cold water, and they oper ated their plant in the same manner as did Estman. 1'ollce Scrape Off Polion. Jack Robinson and Harvey Allen, two other late operators, picked up a square galvanized tank and inside of this they had a coil of pure lead pipe through which the steam was sent from the boiling mash. When , they were caught the arresting offi cers found a heavy coat of crystals, possibly arsenate of lead, in the in ' terior of the lead worm, and by rub bing the fingers on the inside of the . pipe were able to get large quantities of this poison, much of which un doubtedly found its way into the liquor they sold. Out in Washington county a rald - -Ing party caught a young man who had taken his idea from the movies, , and who had anice copper outfit. But ; he was not able to have his plant ' in the proper shape as he was always in the position of working in a hurry and forced to bury the copper coils when not in use, with the result that they were green with rust. He also had a lead coil that he had melted from too much heat and re paired with solders and when the ar resting officers told him of the dan ger to others of the fluid that he was making he seemed glad that he had been caught, and that his liquor had ' not been responsible for any deaths. One local man caught operating- on , swill made no secret of where he got . nis materials, just telling the arrest- i ing officers that he used rotten stuffs ' that he got in a garbage route, and j that he had made many gallons of well-flavored moonshine from this that he had disposed of at top prices. Chem- J ists point out that these men, know- . ing nothing of distilling as a science- have to work fast and sell quick so that they do not care how they turn their stuff out. making It as fast as possible, and hiding their outfits. It is the lure of easy money that at tracts the men. In analyzing the class of men who make a specialty of this work, it is found that nearly 95 per cent of the offenses handled locally are from for eigners, nearly 90 per cent of these are Austrians. according to this en forcement officer. Of the remainder more than one-half are foreigners of some other nationality and the small minority American born. Hit or miss methods In distillation are breeding a race of lawbreakers that are a menace to the community, for their potent product is not only the cause of much misery on the part of those who partake, but often arouses their patrons to undue crim inal tendencies, according to crim inologists who have studied the sit uation. Boose Breeds Criminals. In this respect a recent finding'of the San Francisco police is interest ing. They traced 50 cases of blind ness, 20 of insanity and several vio lent crimes to the sale of a rtrink called "grpapa" in their city, all oc curring within a period of two months. crappa 18 a composition made from grape juice, with the addition of certain Ingredients and was lately on open saie in iortiand and likely is ti oeing soia nere.

BE With Good Weather and Plenty of Workers Quota Will Be made, Mrs. Itunyon Declares. Noted by Citizens. TURKEY IS NON-ESSENTIAL The weather man has been earnestly petitioned by sundry workers in the service of Waverly Baby home to pro vide fair skies for .tomorrow, when the maintenance fund campaign for lying motives of Tnanksglving do not ntown tag! deal with turkeys save as symbols, Gobbler, After All. Only Symbol of Thanksgiving Spirit of Day as Evident as Ever. It is nowhere required In the code of Thanksgiving -that the celebrant dine on turkey, tnough traditional error holds that tnis particular fowl should grace the feast of plenty. The Pilgrim fathers, scouting for game in the oaken thickets of Massa chusetts some three centuries or so ago, originated the turkey -theory when the bell-mouthed muskets roared heavily and brought down msf t-fattened gobblers. , But despite this well-authenticated tradition, it is certain that the under 10.000 will close with downtown tag sales. '"Give us good weather and plenty of workers and we will make the quota by tomorrow night," declares Mrs. C. E. Runyon, chairman of the cam paign. "In any event we must have more of the latter. Volunteers for tag-day duty are urged to present themselves today or early tomorrow at headquarters, the blueroom of the Portland hotel, where equipment and orders will be issued." Thanksgiving brought about a truce in the advance of the Waverly work ers, but the flying squadron, led by Mrs. Ira Powers, will resume opera tions early this morning, confident in the ability of its members to raise one-half the maintenance fund, or o000. Owing to delay in initiating active subscription work, the goal is yet far distatit. Tomorrow night a final effort in the downtown district will be made by a campaign company from the women's progressive league, captained by Mrs Louise Palmer Webber. At noon . a combined band from the police and fire bureaus will play for the cause. Cuddly, cozy exhibits for Waverly will be in the show windows of the Powers and Jennings stores, where nurses with their infant charges will greet pedestrians all day. CREDIT IS GIVEN PILGRIMS and that a laden table whatever the roast speaks for the good old cus tom of a fine old day. And it was so that' Portland held revel . on the Thanksgiving of 1920, caring little whether the fowl was turkey, goose, plump pullet or mallard from the marshes but caring a great deal for the meticulous observance of the Pil grim holiday- that has remained a moral and corrective ' influence in American life. Mayflower Brought Benefactors of Civilization, Says Pastor. "Civilization will always claim the Pilgrims as among the world's great est benefactors," declared Rev. W. T. McElveen, pastor of the First Congre gational church, in addressing the union Thanksgiving service yesterday morning at the First Methodist Epis copal church. Dr. McElveen chose as his subject "The First Thanksgiving Day and Ours" and paid high credit to the Pilgrim forefathers. He said that they "saved English civilization." "The idea we try to express by our annual Thanksgiving day is a very old idea," he said. "In the Bible we find mention of a Jewish Thanksgiv ing day. The ancient Greeks arid the ancient Romans observed a kind of Thanksgiving day and our -Anglo- Saxon ancestors had a great day of Thanksgiving al.so. The first Thanksgiving dav our Pilgrim forefathers observed was not so much a holy day as a holiday. Most persons think of the Pilgrims as not liking to play, but on that dav they taught their Indian guests games and played with them. The Pilgrims went right straight at the task of try ing to purify corrupt and flippant English society. "Some may make fun of the stern visages of the Pilgrims, but it was enough to makeany man's face hard as flint to live 'in that corrupt age. Some say the Pilgrims were icono clasts. They were, because others to their shame had filled the church with sham and hypocrisy. "Recall your indebtedness to the Pilgrims. We are here today, wor shipping God as we please, because they crossed the ocean and fought for freedom 'of speech and of assembly." Thanksgiving Service Held. "A day' wages for those starving In body and soul" was the slogan for Thanksgiving day in Our Savior's Norwegian Lutheran church. Grant and East Tenth streets. The service was held at 11 A. it., the sermon preached by Rev. M. A Christensen. Special envelopes for the Thanksgiv ing offering had been sent out and were placed on the altar at the. close of the service. Gratitude "Well Grounded. There is no holiday on the calendar that Americans approach with quite the same sentiments of jollity and veneration as mark the day of prayer and plenty. It is as though, pausing for the moment from their various affairs, all proper folk took cogni zance of the passing year and for the first time came to the understanding that it had dealt kindly with them. This was the message of Thanks giving as voiced from the pulpits of many churches yesterday, when pas tors reminded their flocks that one cannot be genuinely thankful with out appreciation and that to Port land has been given in large measure both prosperity and civic happiness. There were union church services at the following houses of v.orship: First Presbyterian church. Third Baptist church. Rose City Park Presbyterian church, Mount Tabor Presbyterian church. First Methodist Episcopal church, St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral. East Side Christian church and Church of Our Father. Unitarian. Xewsboys Are Fortunate. Though "turkey roosted far above the means of many provident folk, who would not pay an exorbitant price, scores of Portland newsboys dined to repletion on both white and dark meat at noon, with all the aux iliary edibles that encomriss & prop erly served fowl,-when Eric V. Hauser of the Multnomah hotel gave to the lusty-lunged youngsters hir custom ary Thanksgiving hospitality. It was the open house that one craftsman ex tends to another, for in the old days on the streets of Minneapolis their host was one of the clan. And this Thanksgiving was distin guished by an innovation a dinner de luxe to the hapless inmates of- the pound, those masterless and mistress lacking pups, dogs, cats and kitties who have strayed into the keeping of the Oregon Humane society. There was a pet collie who had a home of its own not long since, but the haz ards of fate overtook him and he went to -roam the infinite meadows where good dogs surely go. His mistress, grieving, pledged tJ the waifs in the pound such a Thanksgiving as would lighten her beart and her checking account. "Lady Bountiful" they call the benefactress incognito, for whose kindliness Mrs. M. F. Swanton served as proxy. Little Poverly Koted. There were laden baskets borne by quiet, unobtrusive donors to all Port land homes where Thanksgiving seemed in peril of non-observance, and at Piseah home, where certain very elderly folk recall the gala days' of other years, "Mother" Lawrence saw to it that the plates were heaped with festal food. -Yet there was little want to seek out this Thanksgiving, for social workers have found . that poverty is at a minimum in the city this season. . The gridiron game must needs be played on each Thanksgiving, and football urged thousands of devotees to Multnomah field in the afternoon, where Oregon Agricultural college strove valiantly with the gladiators of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, victory resting with the former by a score of 10 to 7. Throughout the day public build ings, including tthe postoffice, were closed. The downtown streets pre sented only a thin trickle of traffic, for, like unto Christmas, the day of the Pilgrims Is essentially dedicated to home. they entertain with keen comedy iff patter. . it tne applause of the audience' yes- terday is accepted as a means of rat- ' ing the acts, there should be three . headliners on the bill, for Elsie Mur phy and Eddie Klein in "Tunes and Timely Topics." and Evans and Sid ney, two talented chaps who joke and ' ing, .were given enthusiastic recep-I tions. Billing themselves as "The Jack and I Queen of Spades," Orben and Dixie, t man and maid in blackface, prove to be of ace-high value in getting laughs with their clean-cut chatter and song. Their material is UD-to-t he-minute. 4 ana tney have a pleasing way of put ting it over to the best advantage. Dainty little Florette, whose offer ing. opens theishow, is a gymnast and contortionist of unusual ability. She performs difficult acrobatic feats with the greatest ease, and at the begin ning of her turn she sets the whole house laughing by making the well-1 developed muscles of her --arms and shoulders do all kinds of tricks.

MARY LQC SEEMS THAXKFTJL Infant Waif Visits Friends at Sta tion Thanksgiving Day. ;' ,. Mary Lou, when she had done with a huge turkey drumstick at the home of her present foster parents. Chief of Police and Mrs. Jenkins, was taken to the police station to say "goo goo" to her many friends among the blue coats. Mary Lou was in high spirits. She crowed and gurgled and tried to chew up her necktie, or whatever it was she Wore. The chief noticed her doing so and started out for a rubber rattle. During his absence one of the police offered her a cigar to chew, but Mrs. Jenkins came to the rescue with the light of determination in her eyes. Mary Lou is pinker and hap pier than ever, and seemed to be en joying her first Thanksgiving im mensely. Ed, negro janitor at police head quarters, mopped up enough booze yesterday morning to give him a fine appetite. He cleaned up a mixture of wild grapejuice, vicious cider, moon shine whisky and homebrew that would have' put an ordinary man under the' table. But Ed used a mop to mop it up with, - and wrung the booze into his scrub bucket. The grapejuice was working hard. So was the cider. The homebrew was popping off with a suggestive fizz. The haunted chamber was flooded and police headquarters smelled like a distillery which had just been dyna mited. Flotsam and jetsam of humanity at the city and county jails were given a holiday treat by the 23-piece or chestra of the Apostolic Faith mis sion. The music of the ensemble was echoed from the "bull pen," where several capulous celebrants were singing their favorite songs. At the conclusion of the concert the prison ers gave the Rev. R. R. Crawford and his orchestra -a vote of thanks. One oldtimer. who appeared to have had many hard knocks, stated that it was the first time in years that he had heard church music. "Buddy," the 5-year-old son of Cap tain Inskeep; came to the front with the best "kid" story of the day. "See, daddy," he . shouted, as he watched a number of elderly ladies entering a neighboring home for dinner, "there go a whole lot of grandmammas.
