EflSOLiTciisES" FIGHT ATTEMPT TO STEAL FUEL IS CHARGED BY DENTIST. Suspect Declared to Hate Taken Gasoline Krom Doctor's Car While He Attended Patient. SPOKANE. Wash.. May 29. (Spe cial.) After an encounter which would put the ordinary movie thriller to shame, the first arrest of an al leged gasoline th'ef was made early tills morning. The man arrested is Peter Hansen, 2628 Eighth avenue. 20 years of age. It is charged he stole seven gallons of the precious liquid from the car of I5r. Charles D. Mc liean. standing at the curb. Last night when Or. McBean was called to see a patient, he left his machine standing in front of the place. When the dentist left the apartment house he saw another car landing just ahead of his. There was a rattlo of tin canr, and a figure dart ed toward the second machine. The doctor grappled with the man, who was trying to get away with a can of gasoline. Tliey struggled a short time. With a series of short jabs and punches the allegel thief finally over came the doctor. The second man then jumped into his car and started away. Regaining his feet the doctor reached the back of the car and tore r.ff the metal license number plate. Investigation . showed that Hansen was the owner of the car. CONCERT RAISES FUNDS .A r ions Send 65 0 Cases Condensed Milk to Germany. A brilliant musical occasion was the recent annual concert of the Arion society of the Turn Verein. Mrs. Lil lian Jeffries Fetrie appeared as solo pianist and her finished rendition of the "Tannhausor" march, the "Wafrner Laszt t ranscription, aroused entnusi nsm. Her other numbers were from Chopin and Liszt. Miss Margaret Car ney, the blind soprano, pleased an ap preciative audience with her solos "Villanclle" (DelTAcqua) and the beautiful "Moon Niphi." The Arion lM.tlha rnxonic pane well, accompanied 011 the piano by Miss Ruff. The pro gramme under the direction of Her man Haffner. included: "Come Where the Lilies Bloom (Thompson).

LOVEJOY POSER. 1500 Visitors Expected in Portland Just Before Shrine Week for Business Meeting. - Unless Portland can furnish sev eral donkeys, or rather burros, a few of the delegates to the International Kiwanis convention, which will take place here from June IS to 19, are very likely to be disappointed, ac cording to George A. Lovejoy, chair man of the convention committee. Mr. Lovejoy yesterday received a tel egram from sa Paso delegates to the convention which states that these same .delegates must be. able to find donkeys or burros when they arrive in Portland, else their attempt to capture next year's meeting of the Kiwanis for their home city may fail. Just what their plan is to arouse and stimulate interest in 131 Paso is not known by Mr. Lovejoy, but from ad vance rumors it seems that it will be original. Fifteen hundred visitors are ex pected to be in Portland to attend the meeting of the Kiwanis and they will come from all parts of the United States and Canada. This is the fourth annual convention of the internation al order, the first taking place in De- r ... ...... 1 1 ' rri the visiting nobles free-of charge and already several acceptances have been received through the mails. "Rows of trees have been planted the entire length of the beach to pro vide shady lounging spots for the Da t hers. The roots of the larger trees have been boxed in, not only to pro tect them, but also to add to the at tractiveness of the pftrk. "The board walk will be lined with many hew and unusual concessions, fresh from some of the big summer resorts of the east. Among the fea tures already arranged or under ne gotiation are airplane rides, aviation 'stunts,' pleasure and Burf-board rtd ing on a- 40-mile an hour seaslide and a miniature steam railway. "The beach, now ready for i:s open ing to the 1920 pleasure seekers, has a new concrete roadway throughout its entire length and new concrete walks combing the resort."

NOTABLE TRIBUTE PAID Local System for Scoring Flowers in Test Gardens Adopted by American Rose Society. That Portland is rapidly assuming leadership with chances for becoming the world's center for outdoor rose culture is indicated in a notice which Superintendent of Parks Keyser has received that the Portland system for scoring roses in test gardens has been adopted by the American Rose society for use in all the test gardens of this country. The information that Portland's plan is superior came from Professor A. C. Beat of Cornell university, who is chairman of the national commit tee on rose test gardens. Professor Beal Included in his notice copies cf the score sheet which is to be used in all gardens and it is identical with that which has been used in Portland the past two years. When the Portland garden was es tablished a modern and standardized system of scoring roses was desired and Jesse A. Currey, Portland mem ber of the executive committee of the American Rose society, was requested by the bureau of parks to design such a system. -. The plan . as originally drafted by Mr. Currey. with a few changes, was approved by experts consulted. Metric System Is Used. After receiving such indorsement the Portland park bureau adopted this system of scoring, which is based On the units of the metric system, and therefore available for all countries. The practical working out of the system was first tried officially in Portland last year and received the indorsement of the three judges Dr. S. S. Sulliger of Kent, Wash.; J. P. Todd of Seattle, and Arthur Bowman of Portland. Last year when J. D. Eislie of Philadelphia, E. O. Hill of Richmond. Ind.. Frank Howard of Los Angeles. Thomas Gude of Washington and George C. Thomas Jr,. of Phila delphia, visited Portland and went over the local test garden records they were loud in their praise of the Portland system. Last fall the American Rose society appointed a special committee con sisting of Professor Beal, Wallace Pierson of Cromwell. Conn., and Mr. Currey to design a system and score card for all test gardens In America, which Includes those under the de partment of agriculture at Washing ton, those at Cornell university, Hart ford, Conn., the University of Texas. Minneapolis, Syracuse, N. Y., and other points. Copies of the score sheets used in Portland were sent to Professor Beal. with the result that after canvassing all systems the Portland plan was selected. Action Counted Tribute. Professor Beal in his announcement that the Portland plan has been adopted, says It will probably be adopted by the National Rose society of England and the French Horticul ture society. "The fact that the Portland system of scoring rdses has received such national recognition." said Park Su perintendent Keyser yesterday, "is a great tribute to this city and demon strates that with the development of the international rose test gardens in this city we are being received by rose-growers everywhere as the rec ognized center of outdoor rose-growing. Our people . should appreciate this honor and do everything to maintain our position, not only by growing more roses but also by sup porting the local rose society and exhibiting at local shows. Rose grow ing is a great advertising asset for this city and everyone should guard it and sup-port it. GASOLINE: LAUNCH ABLAZE iSpcctaeular Blaze on Pleasure Craft Endanpfrs Morrison Bridge. The waterfront was treated to a spectacular blaze yesterday about 8:15 a. m. The excursion launch Beaver, of Merrill's boat house, foot of Morrison street, caught fire when the engine back fired while being warmed up. When the Are started the launch was immediately cut loose as the flames endangered the boat house, and the Morrison bridge. The upper works of the vessel were badly damaged. The fire was rxtingruit-lled after the launch had been - towed to Alder street dock by the harbor patrol launch and chemi cals from Knsrine 21 and Truck 1 turned upon it. The loss is esti mated at -$1000. The motor was not . damaged. . BOGUS LETTER UTILIZED Name of Chief of Police Forged and Money Collected. Harry Quest, former inmate of the city jail, was arrested yesterday by Motorcycle r Patrolman Stiles on a charge of vagrancy, after he is said to have collected numerous contribu tions from unsuspecting residents of the city by means of a bogus letter written on Police Beneficiary asso ciation paper and signed 'J. L. Jenk ins, Chief of Police." ' Quest made the mistake yesterday morning of applying at the home of Patrolman Cason. Mrs. Cason im mediately called the, police and the man was put under arrest. When he was in the Jail a short time previous on a charge of vag rancy he was employed doinjj odd jobs around the police building and it is believed that in this way he managed to secure some police beni flciary paper. The letter which he was using de clared he had been hurt In a mine and had lost his speech and hearing. It also made the chief of police state that he had known the man for the past 25 years and that he was worthy of assistance. COLUMBIA BEACH READY Many Improvements Effected and Xtw Attractions Provided. "A large crew of men has been ei ployed at Columbia Beach Amusement park in connection with the clean-up, spruce-up and paint-up movement In augurated in Portland to welcome the Shriners to spotless city." said Joseph M. Reig, operator of the park. yesterday. "The use of the grounds as a camping place 'has been offered Phone your want ads to The Orego nian. Main 7070, Automatic 560-95. DRAFT BOARD VINDICATED Removal of Members Is Declared AVithout Basis. John W. Hart. C. A. Barton and P. H. Spangenberg, who were re moved from a district draft board in Idaho, have been vindicated by Sec retary of War Baker. Mr. Hart has been receiving opposition to re-elec tion as republican national commit teeman for Idaho because of his removal from the draft board. Hi three sons were given a classification as agriculturists and as men with dependent families, and rumor spread that Mr. Hart was removed because of this classification. The classification, the vindication points out, was made by the local board, composed of democrats. The war department now states that there was no basis for the removal of either Hart, Barton or Spangenberg on the facts in the case; -that their removal was for an alleged technical violation tm.

OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS IT SELF to the dairymen of Oregon through the pos sibilities that this state offers for expansion in the Dairy Industry. Because of numerous natural advantages,- mild climate, abundance of pure, cool water, and the all-year luxuriant growth of forage crops, Oregon is destined to become one of the greatest dairy centers in the world. 25,000 DAIRY. FARMS, representing an investment of $200,000,000, .yielded an income of $25,000,000 to dairymen- in this state last year; a return that places dairying third in importance in the many industries of Oregon, superseded only by lumbering and livestock. OREGON DAIRYMEN have been quick to appre ciate the importance of stocking their farms with pure-bred cattle, consequently a large and rapidly' increasing percentage of the 200,000 dairy cows in Oregon, valued at $25,000,000, are in the thorough bred class. BUTTER AND CHEESE MANUFACTURING and the output of the seven condensaries in the state show splendid increases with each passing year. In the six years between 1913 and 1919, the returns from butter alone climbed from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000. In the same period of years, the cheese output grew from a valuation of $1,000,000 to $3,000,000. As a consequence of the growth of this industry we now export large quantities of these products, whereas four years ago we could not supply local demand. THE USE OF MILK AS A FOOD is still the most important phase of the Dairy Industry, in spite of the extensive manufacture of dairy products, for last year the Bale of milk in this state returned $7,500,000 to dairymen.
