to take the "rest and quiet cure" for

Sugar Supply of
City Is Tripled by
Today's Receipts
Rose City Brings 200 Tons and Three Carloads Come by Mail
Government Buys Beet Sugar In California for
'Distribution Here.
" Two hundred tons of sugar arrived
in Portland last night aboard 'the
steamer Rose. City and will be un
loaded today. This was learned from
unofficial hut creditable sources this
morning.
Of these, 175 tons are fo? Portland.
35 tons for Astoria and nearby des
tinationa. " ' I
Three carloads of sugar reached Port
land this morning by rail, consigned to
jobbers, according to the statement of
officials of the Western Sugar Refinery
company, after being on the road from
California since September t. The re
finery has made allotment! of Us net
product to all jobbers in tts territory
and some of the early shipments are
supposed to be dose to Portland. With
in a week. It is said, sufficient sugar
will have arrived by rail and boat ma
terially to relieve the present shortage.
II CARLOADS ABRITE
The equivalent of 12 carloads of
sugar has thus been added to Port
land's resources, it is said. Before
last week it was estimated that Port
land had received only 10 'carloads of
sugar in two weeks. j
The Rose City will bring more sugar
from San Francisco next week,
- Addition to the supply has thus tripled
Portland's sugar supply and must at
least somewhat relieve the shortage.
This would be true even If rail ship
ments had not increased last week.
t-V 8. BUYS BEET St'GrAR
The V&Kd States government has
purchased from. ; California refineries
3000 sacks of sugar and these are en
route to Portland for distribution among
jobbers. For the first time in. history,
a higher price was paid for beet than for
cane sugar when the government made
its purchase and the federal 'consignment
of the beet product will cost consumers
It cents a hundred more than cane
sugar. i .

No Marks of Violence Fouid on
Person of Mrs. Miller; Hus
band' Still Held.
Seattle. Oct. 15. (Uj P.) The
body of Mrs. Bertha Elinor Miller,
whose death occurred mysteriously
during a launch trip wljth her hus
band, Walter P. Miller, across Lake
Washington, Monday, was discov
ered floating on the lake near Mer
cer island at 9:45 o'clock . this
morning. " i
No bruises or marks of violence could
be found during the hasty examination
of the body by Coroner Tiffin, who hur
ried across Lake Washington to in
vestigate. THREE MILES FROM SCEKE
The point where the body was found
is three miles from the spot where
Walter Miller, the husband, says his
wife jumped or fell Overboard while his
back was turned.
After the preliminary examination the
body was placed aboard a launch and
brought to Seattle for more careful ex
emlnation. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Patter
son today is proceeding on tvo theories
to account for the death of Mrs. Bertha
Elinor Miller Monday afternoon while
crossing Lake Washington with her hus
band, Walter P. Miller, local photogra
pher, who is held in the -county jail
pending investigation. One theory is
that Mrs. Miller, erased with despair
and despondency, afraid to face a body
wrecking six weeks' cure for the mor
phine habit, suddenly decided to drown
her sorrows In the. depths of Lake
Washington and jumped overboard.
THE OTHER THEORY h
The other theory is that her husband,
during a sudden fit of temper, knocked
the woman overboard. i , ; '
Patterson has definitely concluded that
the launch trip was "on the square,",
as the deputy prosecutor expresses It He
believes that Miller and his wife started
out ' to cross the lake Jto the lakeside
sanitarium, where Mrs. Miller was to un
dergo six weeks treatment for the mor
phine habit.' This plan had been agreed
upon, after Miller had declared he would
not seek a divorce if his wife could be
cured of the drug habit. ..
HTJSBAWD DOUBTED CVBJ5 '
' "She declared she had been cured of
the drug habit. says Patterson, ,while
her 'husband was not willing lo believe
her.? . "-s - - - i. t-r s v" c
This conclusion Is based .on statements
of friends of the Millers who had def
inite information concerning their do
mestic relations. -
But Just what happened in the launch
during the trip no. one knows except
Miller. He declared Ms wire disappeared
while -his back was turned. ' Whether
she leaped overboard . or fell Into the
lake by accident, i MUier i does . not at
tempt to say..
Deputy Prosecutor Patterson has not
come to a decision en a definite course
of action.- Miller Is still held In jail.
The most Important development was
the visit of Mrs. M. D. Bogart of Port
land, sister of : the dead woman, and
Dr. Bogart. her husband, to the prose
cuting attorney's office. Dr. and Mrs.
Bogart declared that Mrs. Miller had
appealed to them for protection from
her husband shortly before she came to
Seattle. They also charged that they

housewives' council Tuesday afternoon
were denied vigorously 'this morning.
HOUSEWIVES ABE CHALLENGED
"If Lang & Co. is storing sugar In
suburban warehouses," laughed I. Lang
this morning, let the housewives go find
the sugar. Let them take the district
attorney along and confiscate it.
"These housewives should stick to
housewlfing. They have no Idea of what
quantity business means. They do not
realise 5 there are a million people In
Oregon using 1000 bags of sugar a day.
They do not realise that Lang & Co.
have 8000 customers they are trying to
supply. Suppose we do get in a carload
of sngar every few days. It amounts
to nothing. It roes out as quickly as
it comes In.
"Housewives see a few truckloads of
sugar and they think the stuff is being
hoarded. What would they think if they
saw 150 truckloads going along the road?
It would take that much sugar to supply
the demand In Oregon for one day.
"If 'there is any hoarding of sugar. It
Is not on the part of wholesale grocers.
There is not a pound on the place. That
which came in Tuesday on the Rose City
was very 11100..
Despite Lang's statement, filled sacks
labeled "Sea Island Sugar" were seen
this morning at the Lang warehouse.

Big Budget; Mayor Says Costs
Must Be Cut to Meet Income
. An. unexpected bombshell in the
discussion of the standardization of
salaries of city employes broke this
morning with a bang that threatened
the dignity of the council chamber.
No sooner was the matter opened for
consideration than a verbal tirade was
in order.
Mayor Baker left his seat and shook
his fine-er at Commissioner Barbour.
I want the people of Portland to
know that your budget la twice the size
of last year no wonder you suggest
trimming $122,000 from it Jn order to
increase emoloyes' salaries. How about
the police and fire" departments? We
can't cut them. We alt want to be
heroes, but can't get away with it.
thundered the mayor.
"I'm not, posing as a hero not as
much as you. are," declared Commis
sioner Barbour in retaliation,
FHTAJfCIAL PROBLEM LOOMS
Mayor Baker and city commissioners
agree that these is crying neea ior in
crease of city salaries, but that financial
stringencies stand in tne way.
"We've had all the talk necessary on
the matter." declared Barbour. "What
we need now is fair salaries for our pit
employes."
Rtit hew under heaven can we In
crease salaries when 'the budget already
calla for 1550.000 more than the revenue
In sight to cover it," contended Mayor
Baker. "We must cut salaries, we must
trim. Why, many city employes hav
already received ',100 Increase in their

every commissioner wants nu own oe-

Commissioners Pier, Mann and Bibelow
contended that perhaps the solution of
the entire problem was in cutting down
other details ef the budget to allow for
salary Increases.
"Let's adjourn until Monday. Let's
get down to brass tacks. I think the
whole matter can be solved and em
