also stipulated that a "selection" Is
made each week In which one mem
ber is g'ven a suit without further
cost. The contract reads that this
concession to one member weekly
is made because of the personal ad
vertising done by ail members, but
Deputy District Attorney Mowry as
serted that thr courts of this state
have repeatedly held that this la a
mere subterfuge to evade the lot

Detective apt.iln Harms yestei
day assigned Detective Morak t
make a personal Investigation and
the latter reported he found it to
he nothing more than a lottery.
Morak aid he talked to E. D.
Powell, a represents! 'vf of the con
cern, and Powell ursfrd him to join
the suit clih. holding out the lure
that he might win a $4 tailor-made
u!t by the payment of only JJ.
"He told roe that on man already
had won a suit by paying the Ini
tial while another had won a
su t tn payment of It." was Mo
rak'i written report to Captain
IUrm.
Officials of the better hu:nes
bureau said yesterday that they had
the Hayes concern under in i-i-tiga-tion
and were ready to proved
against it as soon as the poce re
port . is received from Capta'n
Harms. This report will be for
warded to the bureau this morn
ing. According to the police the Hayes
Tailoring company has been oper
ates in Portland for about two
weeks and is said to have signed up
several hundred "members" to tha
suit club during that time. Tne
chance to get a tailor-made suit far
a few dollars is a lure which ex
cite. the cupid'ty of many men. ac
cording to Mr. Mowry. who qro
nounced the scheme entirely un
lawful. ' -
t pmpli imt jK&eee4 Today.
Off, rials of the better business
bureau said they had a man who Is
now ready to :gn a complaint
against the officers or local repre
sentative of the concern iiil this
probably will be done today, accord
ing to the district attorney.
The "suit club" now operating
here is almost Identical with the
Harrold ivtrm, which started busi
ness here a few days ago and which
was forced to quit when the better
business bureau and police got Into
action. The Harrold system offered
the same promise of a drawing each
week for members and the courts
quickly sustained the charge of the
local authorities that the plan was
nothing more than a lottery.
The Haye, company Is said to be
operating here under the direction
of two promoters named Hayes and
Lesser.
