the liquor was purchased.
Jones admitted to Judge Wolverton
that he repretented the Portland end cf
a syndicate that proposed to supply
liquors for the Shrine convention here
In June.
The contraband was shipped Into
Portland from San Francisco In two
lots, the last consignment arriving on
Tuesday. It was labeled "paper nap
kins" and thus violated not only the
interstate commerce commission ruling
about erroneous labels, but the Keed
amendment as well.
Fifty-three cases of the rare cham
pagne and red and white wines were
found hidden behind big packing boxes
on the second floor of the Fifth street
building. The haul yielded a great quan
tity of "Golden West" champagne. A
few of the cases had been opened.
JOXES MAKES CONFESSION
Jones confessed his end in the trans
actions in the presence of deputy sher
iffs. Further investigation, especially
of the California end of the part taken
by McKinley, has already been started.
Jones declared he purchased 91 cases of
wines in California last October for $75
a case. The entire lot had been de
livered here, the last shipment arriv
ing Tuesday. He had sold 41 cases for
$4100, or a net profit of $25 a case.
Triese fancy wines were poor stuff
to sell. We had a hard time." said
Jones. "Most people demanded whiskey
they wanted stuff with a stronger
kick, lie refused to tell to whom he
had sold the 41 cases.
The wines were shipped to Portland
by freight, consigned to the Blake-Mc-Fall
Paper company, for which Jones
formerly worked. Knowing the com
pany s method of receiving freight.
Jones went to the station, and claimed
the shipments in the name of the com

SPECIAL TAX LEVY TO
meet legislature's
Acts is held invalid
Salem, April S. Special taxes levied
by the Marlon county court, aggregat
ing approximately J49.O00 in excess of
the amount allowed under the 6 per
cent limitation amendment to the state
constitution, are not legal, according
to a decree signed by Judge Percy R.
Kelly of the Marion county circuit court
In Albany, Friday, and by Judge George
G. Bingham here Friday night. The
decree restrains the cdunty court from
levying, and the sheriff from collect
ing, the taxes Included In this amount.
Sheriff Needham this morning began
the task of removing this excess levy
from the tax rolls and tt is expected
that those who have already -paid In
their tax will be reimbursed for the
amount represented by the special levy.
Included In the amount held illegally
levied in the court's decree are, the fol
lowing Items:
Common school apportionment, $26,
000; high school tuition fund, $12,000;
county's share for construction of Sil-
verton armory, $10,600 ; general school
purposes, approximately $1000. '
All of these items are provided by
legislative enactment.
The case is regarded here as of state
wide importance as affecting the right
of counties to levy taxes in excess of
the ( per cent limitation to meet extra
burdens imposed by the legislature.
It is understood that an appeal will
be taken to the Oregon . supreme court.

One of the Victims
Of 'Locator' Byron
Recovered Money
Salem. April 3. Of trie more than 100
Salem citizens who are said to have en
tered into contract with Carlos L. Byron,
now serving time at McNeil's island for
fraudulent land deals, only one has
been found to date who obtained a re
fund of his payments upon failure of
Byron to fulfill his part of the contract.
He is William McGilchrlst Jr. of this
city, to whom, it Is said, Byron re
turned $600 paid on two contracts after
the expiration of the six months in
which Byron was to locate McGilchrlst
upon timber claims. McGilchrlst, it is
said, was given the option of renewing
his contracts at the expiration of the
time or receiving a refund of hiB money
and he accepted the latter.
Byron's victims include many men
and women prominent in business and
professional circles in the capital city,
his haul from Salem alone amounting
to between $50,000 and $60,000.
Smith Pleads for
Partisan Politics
To Master People
'A plea for partisan politics was
voiced by Eugene E. Smith before the
Oregon Civic league at the Benson ho
tel Saturday afternoon.
"Under our form of government those
who master politics will master the
people," he Bald.
'Non-partlsanism will intensify class
conflict.
"The Non-Partisan league is a mis
statement on its face, for it is a party.
One explanation of public indiffer
ence to government is that most people
think government functions only at
election time instead of being, as it is,
a continuing operation.
"Another explanation Is in the break
ing down of our party system?.
"I agree with Thomas Jefferson, that
the best government is that which gov
erns least, but it should govern."

PALMER ACTS TO
HALT COAL PRICE
Washington, April .(!. N. S.)
Attorney General Palmer today Is
sued orders to all federal district
attorneys to take steps to check
profiteering in coal, which may arise
out of the fact that restrictions upon
coal prices by the government hava
been removed.
This action was taken Immediately
after a flood of complaints reached the
department.
The attorney general said advances
on bituminous coal ranging from $1.60 to
$3 per ton were unjustifiable. He in
structed the federal district attorneys
that In consideration of these cases an
increase of only 40 cents a ton, was Jus
tified in the circumstances even If the
entire wage advance granted to the
miners was. shifted to the consumer.
Palmer stated that the Increase In
the price per ton should be even less
than 40 cents.
"Now that the government regulation
of prices haa been discontinued, there
are Indications of an excessive increase
In the price of bituminous coal." Mr.
Palmer said In his instructions to fed
eral prosecutors.
"Our total annual production is ap
proximately 500,000,000 tons. It is esti
mated that the total increase In wages
will be approximately $200,000,000 per
annum. If hls entire amount Is added
by the operators to the price It would
only make an increase of 40 cents per
ton. If, however, the operators absorbed
the 14 per cent, the increase which be
came effective in December, there will
be left only $96,000,000 to be passed on
to the consumer. In this event, the In
crease in the price of coal at the mine
would amount to 20 cents a ton."
NAME G. 0. P. LEADER
(Continued From Pi Out.)
"be very easy to eliminate a minority
candidate after the first few ballots have
been cast."
Johnson faces his supreme test with
the California primary election. When
that time comes it will be a battle be
tween Johnson and Hoover, and, from
the word that comes from there, it is not
a foregone conclusion by any means
that the senator will have any easy
battle to win. It will be favorite' son
against favorite son ; league against
anti-league ; Progressive against Pro
gressive. Hoover has a strong and en
thusiastic organization behind him in his
home state. Johnson has his national
headquarters there. If Johnson should
lose California, his candidacy will die
with the returns. And by the same to
ken, if Hoover should win in California
his stock would soar. The California
primary election falls on May 4. John
son, if he wins In Oregon, must come
as a victor out of his home state first.
WASHLSGTOX FOB POtSDEXTER
Poindexter's friends and managers
expect that he will receive the Indorse
ment of his state convention when it
meets this month. The only question
at Issue there, Washington politicians
contend, is the nature of the Instruc
tions by which the delegation will be
bound whether It will be free to go
from Polndexter at its will and to whom
it chooses, or whether the time and the
place of its going shall be left to Poln
dexter himself.
But, after all, the primary battles in
California, Oregon and Washington are
merely skirmishes, except as Johnson
and Polndexter are personally con
cerned. Should Johnson fail In Cali
fornia, or Polndexter in Washington, it
would do them no good to go to Chi
cago, for the convention would not con-.
eider a candidate who did not bring his
home delegation with him.
The battle will be at Chicago. No on
believes that any of the present candi
dates will go .there with a majority.
vervbodv who thinks knows that the
big delegations of the eastern states will
go instructed by the politicians of the
East The delegations of tne boutn win
go uninstructed for the most part, but
ready to swing their Influence where
those who have their hands upon the
throttle and the wheel may point.
The big question is where they will
point and whether they dare to point
in the direction their desires might lead
them. There is where Hoover will come
in. Will the popular fancy which he
has undoubtedly caught, plus the ground
swell which has raised him Into his
nresent prominence, carry him into the
convention on such a tide that the poli
ticians at Its helm will permit Iis nomi
nation? Or, falling that, will the in
fluences back of his candidacy force the
abandonment of the old guard program
and the nomination of a dark horse
upon a 'forward looking platform"? If
neither, what then? wui tne progres
sive party be born anew? It Is not be
yond the realm of probability.

Meanwhile August Junge, for whom
local banking houses are "holding the
sack," and who Is sought by a number
of people from whom he collected money
for machines he did not deliver, is in
parts unknown. The warrant Issued
this morning will aid In an official
search for him.
Junge Is said by his victims to have
sold trucks from his agency and prom
ised future delivery, later selling the
same trucks again. He had similar
transactions with brokers, selling the
same paper to more than one, it is al
leged. Pepp told detectives that bonding
houses and banks were heavy contribu
tors to the purse Junge made up.
"The conservative First National of
Portland must have lost between $20,0(10
and 30,000," Pepp is reported to have
said.
Junge, as early as last October, had
collected (50,000 in travelers'-checks and
told friends he contemplated returning
to Germany, his native land. In the
meantime it la believed he had added to
the savings materially in travelers'
checks and diamonds, which he was col

ruthlessly any attempt at an Easter
uprising;. Dublin resembled an
armed camp. Soldiers with full
marching- equipment were every

In the streets, but a general spirit of
good nature prevailed.
Sinn Fein leaders scoffed at the
idea of "rebellion." They intimated
the rumor had beeri started merely
aa part of the SinA Fein's plan of
political agitation tq embarrass the
British authorities.
Military officials believed the only
possibility of an outbreak was In the
Cork district, where feeling has been
particularly bitter since the assassina
tion of Thomas MacCurtain, the lord
mayor.
The inquest of MaeCurtaln's death
was to be continued today. Sinn Fein

find that he was killed by the police.
Extreme Sinn Feiners here hailed
the resignation of Ian Macpherson as
chief secretary for Ireland as the first
victory in their campaign of terrorism
and intimidation against the govern
ment They declared Macpherson had
"cracked under the strain," believing his
