small hours a few nights before,
deputy sheriffs late Tuesday after
noon raided the adjoining; farms of
. ;the Beovlch brothers and Big Bur-
ger, west of; Linnton, .and confis
cated the-richest cache of jhome-

Th liquor was concealed in & secret
':. dugout beneath Burger's barn, and It
wm opty after a careful search-that the
officers found "it. The dugout, accord

Beovlch last summer, but nothing In

them. On October 1, another investi

the officers were again made suspicious
but could find nothing definite. The
other night, when It was reported that
a taxlcab had made a trip to the place
- with a party of revellers, the deputies
' decided that it would pay to look over
. the region carefully.
' According to Chrlstoffersen, the liquor
- was probably made and concealed dur
ing the summer, and the Btlll war de
stroyed. To avoid all possible risk, the
Beovlch .brother are supposed to have
-waited until October to dispose of the
stuff, but since that time, much of it
' has been sold, in the opinion of the
authorities. The liquor was hidden on
- the Burger ranch- further to divert sus
picion. '
r Other, officers who participated in the
raid , were Deputy Sheriffs Kendall,
';. Schlrmer and Flaherty of Multnomah
" county- and Deputy Sheriff William
- Mcuillan of Washington county. The
' Beovlch brothers have been making
'" considerable money from their Illicit
operations, according to the deputy
.sheriffs, as they have purchased two
. automobiles beside a truck.
BARRELS OF BOOZE DESTROYED
Six 54 gallon barrels of whiskey,
".' which could not be moved, were de
' . 'strayed In their underground hiding

gallons and 30 cases containing 2 one

agriculturists to see it sold for $50 to
$t0 per acre, considered a fair price for
cultivated land In the valley.
CHIXESE ISFLTJX EXPECTED
: Although land In this marsh, which
in virtually part of Lower Klamath lake,
has been sold during the past few
months to Japanese, Chinese and whites,
the largest holders are Chinese. The
coming spring will see the influx Into
Klamath county of hundreds of Chinese
and Japanese families for settlement
Whether or not the California Vegetable
Growers' association will sell the land
to families In small tracts has not been
ascertained. It Is believed they will op
erate the 10,000-acre tract themselves.
Apparently little opposition to the
coming or yellow men exists here, per
haps partially due to the fact that little
ts known of the plans of the owners.
Several prominent Klamath Falls men
have expressed themselves In Tavor of
the cultivation of these lands, and in
variably say that since others have been
reluctant. It would be folly to oppose
those who have ventured to turn the
waste lands of centuries Into gardens of
. wealth. One of Klamath Falls' leading
business men said he sees In the buying
of this tract by Callfornlans the begin
ning of the greatest period of agricul
tural development Southern Oregon has
ever known, since the land involved Is
only a small part of the vast area of
similar marsh lands in and around Upper
Klamath lake. Lower Klamath lake and
Tula lake in Klamath, county. Others
have predicted that shipping from Klam
ath Falls will be multiplied several times
during the next five years, and that
business In general will receive a great
Impetus from the settlement of these
thousands of acres of land that here
tofore have been considered waste.
E. T. Arlma. a prominent California
Japanese, has been here recently looking
over another 10,000-acre tract owned by
Jacobs. He Is negotiating for the pur
chase of the tract and settlement by
Japanese families in small plots.

make no decision on Roumania's re
quest for a slice of Bessarablan terri
tory until Roumanla had complied with
the council's instructions that the Rou
manian troops in Bessarabia be with
drawn. SITUATION 18 SERIOUS
The Adriatic situation has taken the
most serious turn' In months following
the Jugo-Slav reply, well Informed ob-servers-here
believed today. The Jugo
slav note, it was said, has postponed
settlement of the Jugo-Slav-Itallan dis
pute indefinitely. If the present attitude
is maintained and the Jugo-Slavs insist
their note represents "last ditch conces
sions observers believe it means the
deadlock has been tightened up again to
its original tenseness.
WOULD BATHER FIGHT
Questioned concerning Premier Nlttl's
recent announcement that he would de
mand enforcement of the pact of London
if the Jugo-Slavs rejected the allied pro
posals, a member of the Jugo-Slav dele
gation said :
"We will fight rather than accept the
pact of London. If the Italians Insist
upon its fulfillment, conflict seems cer
tain in the Adriatic. We have gone the
limit in concessions. Any shift in the
Wilson line' would give to Italy certain
districts which are exclusively Jugo
Slavic. "
"Italy wants the eastern Istrian ter
ritory simply as a 'Jumping off place,'
from which she can pounce' upon Flume.
The Islands of Lussin and LiBsa also
are solidly Jugo-Slavic. In views of
Premier Nlttl's offer not to make them
a military base, they would be useless
to Italy from a standpoint of military
strategy. He1 nee, the question resolves
itself into Italy trying to Impose Italian
jurisdiction upon the unwillling Jugo
slav inhabitants.
BOTH SID ITS FIRM
"Italy already has gobbled up thou
sands of Jugo-Slavs In territories ceded
to her since the war ; we are not going
to give up 60,000 more."
To this statement an attache of the
Italian delegation replied:
"We do not see how Italy can nego
tiate further with the Jugo-Slavs. We
already have conceded much. It will be
unfortunate if the Jugo-Slavs remain
obdurate." t
ELIZABETH RAE
DENIES CHARGES
FLUNG BY AMI
Widow Beneficiary in $100,000
Will Suit Says She Did Not
Force Rae Into Marrying Her.
Complete denial of all assertions
of Edmond G. Amine to the effect
that she coerced the late George
Rae into marrying her, was made
late Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Eliz
abeth Rae, chef beneficiary of the
f 100,000 estate left by Rae. Fur
thermore, she averred while ahe did
travel with Rae over part of the
United States and Europe, she paid
her expenses with her own money.
CASE COXTISCED
Following her final testimony, the
case was temporarily postponed pending
the arrival of depositions from Paris of
Maud Rae Emerson, contestant of the
will left by her father, and T. S. Emer
son, oon-in-law of George Rae. The es
tate of Rae, consisting largely of stock
in the Inman-Poulsen Lumber company,
was left almost entirely to his second
wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Rae. although pro
visions were made for a paralyzed
brother, who lives in Toronto, and a
nephew. Rae's adopted daughter, now
In Paris, was cut off with a 310 bequest-.
Various letters written y Emerson
to Rae in regard to the estate of Mrs.
Chariotta Rae and various other mat
ters were introduced by the proponents
of the will in an attempt to show that
Emerson's relations to tfie Rae family
were entirety financial.
HAD flTHOSQ WILL
The contention of those seeking to
break the will is that Rae, late in life,
was forced to marry his housekeeper,
and that he was so completely under
her domination that he cut off his
daughter with a mere pittance.' R. D.
Inman of the Ihman Poulsen company
testified that Rae, In charge of the re
tall sales for the company, was a man of
strong will and not easily swayed. Other
officers of the company testified as to
Rae's mental capacity.
Mrs. Rae testified that for a long
period before his death Rae received no
letters from the Emersons. Much stress
was laid upon the p re-nuptial contract
entered into by the Emersons. In which
they agreed that one half of any prop
erty acquired by one should belong to
the other.

OWING TO STYLES
U. S. Attorney Discusses Costj
Boycott on Jellies Urged;
Judges Scored.
Clothing costs the dealer 30 per
cent of the, retail price. United States
Attorney Lester W. Humphreys told
the Housewives' council at its meet
ing Tuesday at the Central library.
Some merchants are now selling at
less than replacement value, sometimes
at 75 per cent less than cost, Humph
reys said. He has been busy investigat
ing causes and remedies of high food
and clothing rrices.
"The law can regulate dealers' profit
margins, but not business systems. Defi
nite price fixing by the government on
clothing is practically impossible be
cause of the variations in style and ma
terial," the attorney claimed,
BOYCOTT 18 ADVISED
Resolutions urged housewives to boy
cott canned jellies and jams until such
time as dealers could show they were
obliged to pay higher prices. Housewives
contended that while the canners were
permitted all the sugar they desired dur
ing the canning season, the housewives
were restricted and now should not be
compelled to pay boosted prices.
An educational committee to cooper
ate with . the public schools and the
Parent-Teacher associations was au
thorized. Members will be appointed
later. ,
Resignation of Mrs. J. F. Chapman

cil was accepted.
Mrs. Chapman, who has held the ex
ecutive position since the organization
of the council, explained the need of

Mrs. J. C. Othus was elected as her suc
cessor. Upon the assertion of Mayor Baker
that Mrs. O. J. Frankel of the women's

of the constant change in the acts, a,
committee composed of Mrs. W. L.

pointed to cooperate with Mrs. Frankel.

alone. As a matter of principle, J
would be unalterably opposed at any
time to allowing such legislation to be
enacted into the law without it first
receiving the sanction of the electorate.
"I therefore taaturn herewith said
senate bill number 53 with my veto."
Senator Moaer'a Vista House bill,
which would have approved the acts of
the Multnomah county commissioners in
the construction of the public comfort
station at Crown Point, on the Colum
bia highway, also went down under the
governor's veto. . , .
VETOES BOAD BILLS
Little or no consideration was given
to any of the measures In either the
house or senate after the passage of the
Gallagher bill, designating a road in
the Jordan valley of Matheur county as
a part of the state system of highways,
had opened the way to flood of roadi
lA.iJVn rhins h. i.-
legislation which marked the last two
days of the special session. After the,
passage of the Gallagher UU, which was
only effected over the strenuous protest
of the members of the legislature who
were against opening the state oad map
to any further additions at this time,
all local road bills which followed were
put through the mill with a speed which
recognized none of the usual procedures
usually accompanying the enactment of
new laws.
In addition to the Gallagher bill
which was known as house bill four, the

rnor Olcott returns tho responsibilities
for these Ticts back to the Multnomah

The others measures vetoed by Gover
nor Olcott up to this time and the gov
ernor's reasons for hi stamp of disap
proval are as follows;
REAS058 FOB VETO GIVEX
a. B. 22, by Howell Relating to the
release of sureties on bonds. "This Is a
bill apparently designed to make it eas
ier for surety companies to evade : re
sponsibilities which they enter Into when
becoming surety upon abond. , It has
been the experience of many. Including
the state, that surety companies too
often endeavor to use the laws to evade
their responsibilities."
S. B. 6, by committee on drainage To
validate the organisation , of certain
drainage districts.
"Section 3 of the bill provides that 'All
pending actions attacking the organisa
tion of districts coming under the pro
visions of the, act shall abate.' Such a
provision I consider dangerous and ill
advised." T
H. B. 28 By Thrift ;lcovlding for the
creation of the office . of county meat
and herd inspector in Coos county
MEASURE PURELY LOCAL
"It Is purely a local, measure and, re
gardless of what local merit It may have,
should have had no consideration at
the special session of the kgiolature."
II. B. 51 By Gallagher ; amending law
relating to drainage districts.
"Among other thing It Imposes upon
the district the creation of a commission
for certain- purposes to do work, a
method for which ts already provided
for by law."
8. B. 00 By Multnomah county del
egation ; relating to kindergartens In
districts having more than 20,000 chil
dren of school- age.
"If considered at all!,' should be con
sidered at a regular session."
H. B. 39 By Burdlck ; establishing a
county fair for Deschutes county.
Under the general laws of our state
,v,i7.C " . . .Z . i i
establishment of the location of
these county fairs lies tn the hands of
the county courts of the respective
counties. This is as it should be. To
allow this bill to become a law would.
In my mind, establish a dangerous prec
edent which might. In the future, lead
to log rolling and trading."
S. B 81 By Moser : relating to at
tachment :
GROSS INJUSTICE 8EE1T .
"Section three of this bill provides
that 'in an action against a defendant
not residing in this state to recover a
sum of money as damages arising from
a breach of any contract, whether fnade
in this state or elsewhere, expressed or
implied other than the contract of mar
riage', that the plaintiff In garnishment
proceedings may have the property of
the defendant attached. I ean readily
See where such a provision might lead
to the most gross injustice."
S. B. 5 By Strayer ; amending law
creating board of engineering examiners
and declaring an emergency.
"I am unable to see how the- passage
of this legislation Is necessary for the
Immediate preservation of the public
peace, health and safety."
S. B. "SO By committee of roads and
highways ; reducing the amount of main
tenance cost which counties are to pay
for state highways from 50 per cent to
20 per cent. ,
"This is a matter of great importance
to the state highway program. 1 am
not prepared to pass upon the merits
of the question one way or another. I
am prepared to say, however, that for
a matter of this Importance very scant
consideration was given it by the legis
lative body. It Is jfie which might well
go over to the regular session In 1921
without doing material damage to either
state, the counties or our road program."
H. B. 6f By committee on roads and
highways ; increasing state highway re
volving fund from $30,000 to 175,000 and
declaring an emergency.
"I am unable to find anything In the
act which convinces me that .lt is neces
sary for the Immediate preservation of
the public peace, health and safety."
H. B. 68 By Committee on Corpora
tionsExtending corporate existence of
private corporations.
