3 THE OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL? PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER- 15, 1915. f i- F DESERT TODAY IS POSSIBILITY Shivering Miner of Alaska " Can Also Sit Down to Hot Corn on the Cob,- NEW TREATMENT GIVEN "Dri-Trssh" TtLcXorj lu rrOTAft Success tad Vow It Capacity Bsan OoulsUd. WhQ said ths days of ths marvelous had passed? r Ths lonely traveler In ths Sahara desert can now have fried potatoes Oregon fried potatoes even thourh the tubers are years from the bills. The shivering miner In Alaska can It down to a meal of vegetable soup, seasoned with fresh celery and corn on the. cob and Joyously finish with a wide choice of Oregon cherries, ber ries, peaches, pears, prunes or apples, no matter how far he may be from the coast, from civilization or his base of supplies. What Is more to the point, the weather buffetted people of the east may enjoy all the delights of the fresh, richly flavored, Oregon fruits and vegetables. Invention Is Perfected. It has Just become known that local business men W. G. McPherson, Ar- thur li. Devers and others have per fected the invention by which the moisture is taken from Oregon fruits and vegetables and in this state the ' products are Kept until desired for use, when making them fresh again Inyolvee the simple expedient of ad ding molBture. These men built last March at Tho Dalles, one of Oregon's important fruit and vegetable centers, a "Dri-Fresh" factory. They have just finished doubling its capacity. Impendent upon the product, they are now able to dry from one to six tons a day of fruits and vegetables. The various products have received the recognition of big eastern buyers, of governmental purchasing bureaus, of leading fruiterers and fancy gro cers. Suggestion Zs Important. One of the significant features of the enterprise lies in the suggestion of what can be done in such other fruit centers as southern Oregon with . similar plants. "W'e simply have found a way of Utilizing what otherwise might be wasted of fruits and vegetables and of bringing forth products capable of restoration to original freshness and flavor that markets are eager for to auch an extent that the demand is con stantly increasing," said W. O. Mc Pherson. It was said that there has ben trouble to get fruit enough. Fruits from which the moisture is taken aro apples, apricots, berries, cherries, peaches, pears and prunes. Included In the list of vegetables similarly treated are string beans, cabbages, cauliflower, celery, corn on the' cob, onions, parsley, peas, pota toes, pumpkin. rhubarb, spinach, quash, sweet potatoes, beets and car rots. It Is not stated that these fruits and vegetables are "dehydrated" whole. The potatoes, for Instance, are sliced and peeled; so are the beets; the ap ples are peeled, cored end sliced. The cabbage is shredded. The drying process keeps the fruits and vegetables from dirt and contami nation and Insects. TRUNK MURDER MYSTERY TAKES STARTLING TURN (Continued From Page One) Anderson is a little taller and a little slimmer than Bartholomew. His face is somewhat thinner, and he is younger than Bartholomew. Besemblaace Is Striking'. But so closely do the two resemble each other, that every person in Port land and the Willamette valley, with the exception of one, declared that the picture found In the gTeen trunk, alongside the nude body of Lind. was that of Bartholomew. These witnesses, Mrs. DeCorsey, landlady of the rooming house at 407 Stsj-k street, where the murder oc curred, and the proprietor of the Model Stables, 295 Davis street, where the rig was secured, supposedly by Bar tholomew, to transport the) green trunk to the river, positively (wor before the grand jury that the picture was that of the man who killed John Lind. When Detective Sergeant Joe Day went to-Albany, two weeks ago, how ever, to check up clues in the murder case, be found one man who had been a close friend of Bartholomew's In South Dakota. That man saw Bar tholomew when he, in company with Lind, was at Albany about three weeks before the murder was committed. He looked at the picture shown by -Day, and then said he did not believe that it was a picture of Barthlomew. "If that is George's picture, it was taken a long time ago." this man told "the Portland police officer. Ths postcard picture of Anderson and Lind, the torn piece of which, found In the green trunk, were taken by the police as photos of the mur derer and his victim, was made in San Francisco.

"He on March 18, 1914, went tq Williams building as Janitor at $65 a month, which position he held until October 18. 1915. On the following day he left San Francisco with George Bartholomew and went to Portland. At that time Lind was residing at the San Raphael hotel, 60 Seventh street, San Francisco, where Bartholomew stopped with him for 10 or 12 days. " 'Lind became acquainted with Bar tholomew in Union Square, a public park opposite the St. Francis hotel, Bartholomew being, as it was, down and out. " 'Lind sympathized with him taking him to his room. Lmd, it seems, was becoming; a religious fanatic, and Bar tholomew no doubt a typical yegg, pre tended to Lind that he was religious and would not smoke or swear in his presence. Lind had resided at the Cen tral hotel, 674 Third street; the St. Charles hotel, 607 Bush street; the Hotel Eddy, J25 Eddy street, and other places enumerated.' " The statement quoted was made by Anderson to Detective Michael Burke of San Francisco. Chief White s letter continues: Lind Pretty Well Off. "We find that Lind has a large ac count In the Hibernian bank, this city, amounting to several thousand dollars, from which he had not drawn for the past three years. He also has a bank account in a Boston bank, probably the Ger mania bank of that city. E. W.

Antone Anderson, when examined by police detectives of San Francisco, said: "I saw that picture In The Journal of Portland on November 21." "Why didn't you go to the police wien. ana teii tnem what you knew of this case?" he was asked. Anderson smiled. "I was Just waiting until the Port land detectives came and arrested me, so I could show them that I wa the wrong man," ho answered. Friends Come to Smythe's Rescue. Great Falls. Mont.. Dec. 16. (U. P.) Friends of William F. Smyths made positive declaration today that Smyths I was in Great Falls November 19, the day of the murder in Portland of John Lind, whose body was found in a trunk in the Willamette river.

This allows the comunrl.-soner in charge of any department to have one car in his department unlettered. With the ffve departments and the two cars In the police bureau, there will be seven cara of the city which will not be lettered. Many complain ta have been made of the private use of city automobiles. Five Machines Will Re Bought. Purchasing Agent Wood had recom mended to the council that Allen au tomobiles be purchased for the police bureau to patrol beats, but Mayor Albee today refused to accept the recommendation and Induced the coun cil to purchase five Ford automobiles. Insurance Company C S. Samuel' Assistant Manager SPADY ADMITS GUILT AND A MINIMUM FINE OF $25 IS Charge of Taking Some Lum- f ber Belonging to School District Had Been Made. PROPERTY IS RETURNED Xotfci&ff Za Kenttoaed by School Clark Tnornae of Other Articles Bald to Kara Been Taken. Nick 8pady, who holds a contract as dellveryman for the school district, pleaded guilty yesterday to the charge of petit larceny. District Judge Day ton assessed the minimum fine of $25. Spady was charged with taking 180 feet of lumber belonging to the school district His attorney. C. J. Schnabel, told the court that Spady had returned the property. Nothing was said by School Clerk Thomas or the deputy district attor ney about, the rest of the school prop erty that Spady is suspected of taking. However, it had been discussed before by Thomas and Schnabel. It amounts to many times the value of the lumber. Says 5o Xlst Was Given. When ths case came before the dis trict court yesterday afternoon, Schna bel complained , to the court that Thomas had failed to furnish him a list of the alleged stolen property. He said he had thought the case was go ing to be settled out of court, but that apparently extraneous matter had been Interjected and Thomas had changed his attitude and declined to supply the list Deputy District Attorney Pierce said nothing had been said in court about a list, and Judge Dayton confirmed the statement. "You won't deny that I came direct from Mr. Thomas' office to the court room." eaid Schnabel. J'udge Dayton said he was ready to have the case proceed. Attorney Schnabel made further explanations about the lumber and then entered a plea of guilty for his client. "You see, I was not afraid to go to bat on the prosecution," said Thomas later, referring to the report that Spady had remarked that he would not be prosecuted because he knew too much. He was asked If Spady had returned all the property he is supposed to have taken. Spady "Still oa Job." "I don't know and I don't give 'a damn,' replied Thomas. Spady is still doing the delivering for the district. The question of can cellation of his contract was referred two weeks ago to School Directors Lockwood and Beach. Director Lockwood evinced surprise yesterday that Spady was still hauling for the district, but said he had been too busy to give the matter any thought. Mr. Besxh did not think the board would have been Justified in taking any action on the contract until after the case against Spady was con cluded, and eald the matter would now come before the board tomorrow afternoon. Speaking of the other articles that 8pady was suspected of taking, Direc tor Lockwood pointed out that Spady contended he only borrowed the ware house truck, which was one or tne ar- tides In the list But he could nt explain why Spady had not returned It if he had only borrowed it. NDUSTRIAL WAR IS PREDICTED AS SURE RESULT OF CONFLICT U!rrl-i onrl WncTila Toriffe flno ' "6" "" uuomu iummo Means of Recouping Loss of Europeans, Says One. Sounding a warning to American business that the end of the European war may see the greatest Industrial and financial conflict of history, Ed ward A. Filene, head of the Boeton mercantile establishment, of William Filene' s Sons company, addressed the Portland Chamber of Commerce at luncheon today on The Economic Ef fects of the War on American Busi ness." Impoverished by the war, European nations, he said, are bound to strive more bitterly than ever to ell their product abroad. A lower standard of living and wages will make it possible to do this at a great reduction In price. This will Involve a decreased purchas- lug nil, BJ Llldk 1119 IICLUOIIS lll&L i - . v . .V. - . ing less, will be able to buy less from the United States. KoatUe Tariffs Predicted, Hostile protective tariffs are likely to follow the war, said Mr. Filene, so that the nations may thus keep out American goods while they are recoup ing their own industries. Shortage of the world's available capital, advancing interest rates and abnormal increase in armaments are other factors that must be considered, he said. He declared himself In favor of "preparedness," but called attention to the danger of making increascs in American armament greater than Judg ment would warrant or than public in terest would Justify. He declared that the substitution of international agree ments for war la Inevitable and is no longer a theoretical or a spiritual hope. Tims Kips for Peaoa. Machinery for the substitution' of agreements for war, la Mr. Filenc's opinion, should consist of: An Inter national court for settling judicial questions; an international court of conciliation . for all other questions; some form. of force to compel nations to submit disputes to these tribunals; International conferences to make and amend International law. He favored an economic boycott of nations refus ing to submit their differences to the international tribunals. "The time Is ripe as never before said Mr. Filene, "for thU step forward toward peace, and the United States with her enormous economic Influence and wealth is In a position to aid."

WATER METERS SAVE CITY OF WASHINGTON FROM GREAT WASTE Per Capita Consumption Re duced With Gradual In stallation of Meter System Washington, Dec. 15. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Metering of water services, under fed eral authority, in the city of Washing ton, begun 10 years ago, and yet only 70 per cent completed, has resulted, notwithstanding a large Increase In population. In a reduction in the rnan daily consumption from 69,000,000 gal lons to 62,500,000 gallons. The per capita consumption has fallen in the same period from 227 gal lons a day to 144 gallons a day, and !t is expected that this will be still furth er lowered to 130 gallons when the me tering of the city is completed. This is approximately 100 gallons a day per j capita less than when metering was begun, and this enormous quantity of saving la credited to the' stoppage of waste. Meters Save Pipe Lines. These figures are found in the re port of the commissioners of the Dis trict of Columbia, which has been sub mitted to congress. It Is pointed out that with the former waste the capacity of the present aqueduct supplying water to the city would have been passed before this time. Metering has made such a difference that it is now estimated an additional pipe line will not be needed before 1930, estimating an Increase ia population to 500,000 at that date. One other factor has contributed to reducing the figures of daily consump tion. This Is the Installation of a pit ometer service for the detection and prevention of underground water leak age. This has stopped leakages amounting to 1,828.000 gallons a day. The total cost of this pitomcter service for the year was $33,433. Sow Meters Are Installed. "During the year there were installed 6448 meters," says the report, "mak ing the total number in service June 30. 1915, 48.411. The total number of water services s 68,365, and of these 30 per cent remain yet unmetered. It is estimated that the metering of the city will be completed In the summer of- 1918. "The average cost of installing me ters by the District of Columbia during the year was $10. 53, including the cost of the meter, which was $4.85. The rate charged for water on meter serv ices during the year was 4 cents per 100 cubic feet for all used in excess of 500 cubic feet. The minimum charge for 7500 cubic feet is $4.60 per annum. The average annual payment where me ters are installed by the District of Columbia was $o.ol. Annual Water Bills. "Water bills are delivered to the householder annually at the minimum rate, which allows the use of 7600 cubic feet, or 66,100 gallons, and If on actual measurement water is found to be used in excess of this amount, bills are ren dered for such excess at the rate of 4 cents per 100 cubic feet," It should be borne in mind that no direct charge is made against federal departments for water delivered to them for condensing and cooling pur poses, and, as this water is free, there is no incentive to conserve the supply. One public building alone has a daily consumption of 3,000,000 gallons, yet only 700000 gallons of this is used for domestic purposes by employes. This Is termed by the commissioners "an economic waste." Water Furnished Tree. Water Is furnished free to churches. hospitals, orphanages, schools and charitable institutions to the extent of 19.318,000 cubic feet This is an al lowance per capita of from 60 to 100 gallons a day, depending on the char acter of the lnstituton, and excess water is charged for at meter rates, the excess last year being 7,397,000 cubic feet. Water revenues for the year were $563,000, Including a balance of $33. 000 from the previous year, and the expenditures for the year were $619,- 000, 42 per cent of the cost of work done being for new work in plant ex- tensions, 41 per cent for operation, 13 per cent general repairs, and 4 per cent for replacements.

Boilers Sot Satisfactory. Captain Thomas W. Garllck said to day that the boilers had given way un usually, but from natural causes. Members of the crew, particularly the grimy-faced firemen who spent their watches in the fireroom, bore out his statement and amplified it. The Min nesota's bollerp are of a French make which has passed into disuse. , During the last 11 year a they never have given full satisfaction. From the time of leaving Seattle trouble was experienced. Boiler tubes under a pressure of from 15 to 145 pounds to the square Inch burst at the rate of a dozen a day, each making a miniature explosion. Seven of the crew were injured or scalded, one sustaining a broken arm, another internal Injuries, and the remainder minor hurts or burns. Sale of Bonds Authorized. The city council today authorized the sale of $92,000 In improvement bonds. The date of the sale will be , fixed soon.
