Sixty days in the county , jail and
fine of $2000 was the sentence meted out
in federal court today to James Sou-
rapis. Greek business man, 284 Second
street, for interfering with . the opera
tions of the selective draft.
Sourapls, according to the statement
of United States District Attorney Bert
E. Haney, who prosecuted the case, had
solicited and received from $1600 to
$2900 from Austrians who were in class
one of the selective draft, promising tP
get their classification changed to the
rirth class -so they rweuld not have to
go to war." Sourapls' pleaded guilty
to accepting the funds for the purpose
stated, but declared he did not Interfere
with the operation of the draft because
the men could all have secured deferred
classification anyhow on the ground
that they were enemy aliens.
Haney said .they had all waived de
ferred classification and read statements
from some to show that they, would not
have tried to get their classification
changed had they not been approached
by Sourapls and told that they were
various kinds Of fools to go to war when
they could get out. of it by paying him
a couple of hundred dollars to use his
influence as a patriotic citlsen and busi

Sourapls support of the Red Cross
drive. Liberty loans and other patriotic
activities was not denied by the prosecu
tion which asked for a certain amount
of leniency.
Judge Wolverton held that Sourapls

That Portland will be the wool dis

try, under government administration, !
waa averred this morning by Charles

"Between 12,000,000 and . 13.000.000
pounds of wool of the 1918 clip will be
stored in Portland under government
control," said Mr. Green. "Of this
amount, approximately 10.000.000 pounds
hkve been received here, already."
Last year, the largest In the history
of the city, about 14,500,000 pounds of
wool were -placed In storage here. The
wool Is generally reported to be heavier
in the fleece and of . better quality than
last year, reported the expert.
"Every effort will be made to supply
the needs of Western mills, said Mr. !
Green. "Government contracts with
these mills up to January 1 call for
about 4,500.000 pounds About 7,000,000
