Betke, Assistant United States Attorney Rankin has charged him to be an alien enemy who has violated, the president's -proclamation. Betker was brought before federal authorities to answer the charge that he did not give his true name on his questionnaire. He admitted to Mr. Ran kin that his name was Betker. His mother and a brother live in Salem. Betker told Mr. Rankin that he waa an American citizen, and that his father was born In Russia. Mrs. Betker, how ever, states that her husband was born n Germany. Mr. Rankin states that the senior Betker applied for citizenship pa pers at Bismarck, North Dakota, but never had them com pie tea, and that he said his former allegiance was to the Emperor of Germany. Further investigation Is being made of the charges. Temporary internment of Hans Fur- stenburg was requested today by Mr. Rankin. Furstenburg, who Is registered as an alien German in Portland, went to Holbrook, Or., without obtaining a permit from federal or municipal of ficers, it is charged. Ed. C. Relsh, alleged to have made pro-German utterances, is being held for investigation. He is charged with saying that he would rather spend 20 years in the penitentiary than serve in the army, and that if he got in the army he would try to be placed in the electrical division so he could electrocute other soldiers.

Booth of Eugene, or Charles Hall of Marshfleld, one or the other, is about to be appointed state highway commissioner to succeed E. J, Adams, according to the rumors that seep down from the governor's office. The appointment of Mr. Booth is practically certain, so the gossips say, provided Mr. Booth will consent to take the burdens of the task upon his shoul ders. Should he decide that he does not want to do so, then the next choice is Charles Hall of the Cops bay city. There has been a great deal of specu lation as to what the governor was going to do about the state highway commissioner-ship. Commissioner Adams' term expires April 1, and there has been widespread dissatisfaction with his service on the commission. ' Protest became so insistent that Governor Withycombe. in the face of his political friendship for his appointee, has been practically driven to the wall in his support of Commissioner Adams. It is understood, however, that the governor was still standing firm 'in his Intention to reappoint Adams until he got the tip that 'the latter had been flirting with Louis Simpson, candidate for governor, which rang down the cur tain upon Adams' hopes of appointment. notwithstanding the mass of recom mendations which he has had sent to the governor. After the governor found, according to the story, that Adams was turning his face towards the Simpson candidacy. he turned his towards Mr. Booth. It is not known whether Mr. Booth will con sent to serve as a member of the com mission, though it is believed that the great ( desire of Lane county people to have representation upon the board may have weight with him in forming his decision. Under the statute providing for the appointment of. state highway commis sioners it is provided that the terms shall end upon certain dates, and that the governor shall make appointments to fill vacancies caused by the expire tion of an appointment prior to the date of expiration. It Is supposed, accord ingly, that the governor wjll announce his appointment before Tuesday next. April l. Kelso Woman Injured Mrs. T. J. Murphy of Kelso, Wash., was slightly injured Thursday evening, when she was struck by a United States mail truck at Sixth and Morri son streets.

Every garment made to order on the premises by skilled expert tailofs on short notice. Portland's Leading Tailor Sixth and Stark Streets The reason why you do not get your full supply of Coca Cola will appeal to your patriotism. To save materials for war use, Coca-Cola's output is restricted by the Government. The Coca-Cola Company is proud to do its full part in con servation, and at the same time is endeavoring to help the Government in preserving industry. Please recognize that we are making every effort to supply you with the utmost quantity ill strict accordance with offi cial regulations. Please appreciate that your difficulties are ours and ours are multiplied by the number of our friends and dealers throughout the country, whose business it is our object to strengthen and maintain. It is important for you to realize that every ounce of Coca Cola we are manufacturing and distributing to you, every ' glass you sell over your counter, is in effect legalized -allowed and authorized by Mr. Hoover and the Food Administration after full compliance with their purposes. Coca-Cola repre sents a product hat loyal dealers may be proud to offer. Order from your regular jobber and we will go the limit to meet your demands and at the same time meet the re quirements of our Government and yours. , When authorized Coca-Cola is jcalled for, give your customer thet genuine. If you are out of Coca-Cola for the minute don't offer an imitation which has not loyally done its part in conservation, but which is trying to take advantage of our restricted output to pass itself off as a substitute. To stand by loyal business, defend honest products, and pro tect the public against deception these are not only duties of patriotism, fair play and conscience, but they are character principles of good business, and the only principles that pay in the long run.
