One of the largest seizures of co caine ever made in Portland, accord ing to federal officials, was accom plished yesterday when 20 'ounces of the narcotic with a retail value of nearly $10,000, were taken from a house at 5127 Sixty-fourth street Southeast. At the same time "Yam" Wallace, notorious north end negro character, who already was under 'ar rest on a state charge, was taken into custody by the United States mar shal's office and held in default of $3000 bonds as the owner of the drug. Wallace, who is more than six feet tall. Is acknowledged by officials as being the ruler of the negro under world here. He is said to be held in greatest fear by the other blacks, who recognize him as a "bad actor," and he rules over his associates with an iron hand. An expensive maroon-colored auto mobile is' owned by Wallace, who is charged with being one of the crafti est of bootleggers in Portland. He will not handle home-distilled liquors, it is said, dealing only in bonded Ameridkm, 'Scoh and Canadian whis kies. He has been arrested eight timesaince tbe "latter part of Sep tember. He lives at 468 Overton is believed to have stolen the narcotics, late in November, from a dope vendor. Despite the high re tail value of the cocaine, Wallace is said to have been willing to dispose of the whole lot for $4000, fearing to handle or have in his possession long an article which carried with its dis covery a long prison sentence.

"Yam" lost considerable flesh in the regions where the paternal razor strop is fre quently employed. Following the en counter Wallace is said to have made dire predictions about a sudden de mise for Johnson, whereupon he was arrested and guarded at the hospital. The feud between "Yam" and John son Is believed to have originated a short time ago when the latter laughed at Wallace as he was being marched down a street near the Golden West hotel, propelled by sud den, well-placed kicks frcm three "hard-boiled niggers of Kan jas City." The house in which the cocaine was seized and which is said to have been the headquarters from which Wallace carried on his bootlegging activities, is occupied by Mrs. Edna Cain and her mother. The federal authorities have odged no complaints against the two women, saying that they are. hard working and respectable, but were forced to let Wallace use their house through mortal fear of the man. Sus picion was first directed against Wal lace when neighbors reported that his bright-colored machine was making frequent visits to the house. The (fYftigs were in their original ealed packages. -They were un stamped and had apparently been manufactured in this country for ex port abroad. The haul is the second largest one of narcotics ever made in the city, 35 ounces of morphine seized from a Chinese, Jimmy Sing, being the greatest. Cocaine is sold by the retail drug vendors at $1 a grain and there are 4S0 grains to the ounce, making the total value of the It ounces seized $9600.
