1o THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. JULY 4, 1D20 CITY STARTS PROBE Id MILK PRICE RISE Justification of New Increase Is Questioned. BIGELOW MUST BE SHOWN Green Grass Plentiful and Dairy Pastures Along Columbia Xot Under Water This Year. released from solitary confinement in the Multnomah county jail yesterday and placed in a general corridor by Sheriff Hurlburt, without -waiting: for recommendations from District At torney Hedges of Clackamas county. Since his arrest Brake has bee kept in solitary imprisonment, not being- permitted to see any person but his attorney, at request of District Attorney Hedges. Moore, who has confessed to participation in the crime, and is believed to have ex onerated Brake entirely, has been allowed the freedom of a general cor ridor during the same period and could get cigarettes, shaves and the companionship denied Brake. Tom Garland, attorney representing Brake, introduced a motion in the Clackamas county Jail Friday ask ing that Brake be extended equal privileges with Moore, Saying that the jail administration was in his own province and seeing no reason for. the discrimination against Brake, 1 Sheriff Hurlburt acted yesterday. Lionel C. Mackay, deputy city at torney, was yesterday assigned to make a thorough investigation of the recent increase in the retail price of milk to determine, is possible, wheth er the advance is justified. The as signment was made by Acting Mayor Bigelow. who instructed Deputy City Attorney Mackay to lose no time in beginning the probe. Although Acting Mayor Bigelow was reluctant to discuss the increased price of milk without first obtaining all the facts in connection with the rise, he did not hesitate to say that every visible sign seemed to indicate that the rise is unjustified. Green Grass Plentiful. "The hay crop this year is more abundant than usual." said Acting Mayor Bigelow. 'The green grass is plentiful and will not be exhausted for a Jong time. The dairy pasture along the Columbia river slough has not overflowed this year and person ally it would seem that an increase in milk prices is not justified at this time. "I have noticed that the increase is attributed to increased cost of pro duction and distrubution. Perhaps such costs have been gradually ad vancing, but it is difficult for the laymen to perceive wherein such prices have materially advanced in the past four months." Attorney's Report Waited. Just what action the city will take In connection with the advance of milk prices will not be determined until Attorney Mackay has concluded his investigation. It will probably take several days before he will be in a position to report to the acting mayor. And unless the producers and distributors of milk are willing to furnish information necessary. It will take the city's investigator a week or more to gather data. Kvery indication points to the nam ing of a new city milk commission to represent the consumer In the present situation. Members of the city coun cil announced yesterday that they would support Acting Mayor Bigelow in any step deemed necessary to pre vent an unjustified Increase in milk prices. Greenland of Ziyera Meets Greenland of Al Kader. Utlea Potentate Thinks Tf Other City Can Equal Portland. w THEN Shriner meets Shriner, it'a WRITERS TO VISIT STATE IRVING COBB AXD BOZEMAX BULCKB PLAN" OCTLXG.

Y., met Herbert Greenland, Portland tailor, and member of Al Kader tem ple, the New York Shriner declares he met a real friend. Although confined to his bed at the Hotel Morris during the greater part of the Shrine convention and for numerous days following its close. Potentate Greenland says he enjoyed the Portland convention to a greater extent than any similar convention he has attended. And he has attended all o.f the Shrine and Masonic con ventions, reunions and conclaves for the past 25 years. Potentate Greenland is a resident of New Tork state. For 25 years he was secretary of the Masonic lodge In his home town, and In addition he has held virtually every office in every branch of Masonry in New York state. And in addition he holds honorary membership in the Scotish Masonic Veterans association of Glasgow, Scotland, the Masonic Veterans asso ciation of London. England, and the Masonic Veterans associations in eight states in the United States. Enroute to Portland, Potentate Greenland became ill, but Insisted upon completing his journey. He at tended two sessions of the imperial council, but was unable to see any of the parades or other attractions. "Portland Is a wonderful city, and in all sincerity I say that Portland outdid everything ever shown at any previous Shrine convention. Its hos pitality was a brand unknown to Shriners heretofore; your entertain ment was wonderful; the-flowers, the climate, everything worked into mak ing the 1920 session the greatest in th historv of the order. I do not believe that another convention of the Shrine will ever be held which can compare to the Portland meeting." Mr. Greenland has been active in Masonrv for more than 40 years. Dur- insr this neriod he has collected the autographs of virtually every promt nent Mason throughout the world. In spection of these autographs were made by numerous prominent Masons of Oregon and they were deciarea 10 be a most interesting bit of Masonic history.
