County Jail Vnsafe.
, When it is possible for a man
with his bare hands to force the
bars of his cell, it was not thought
advisable to return the prisoners
to the county jail where there is
the same opportunity to break
jail again. '
Wallace has made two previ
ous efforts and Barton one pre
vious effort to escape jail. Wal
lace is a paroled prisoner from
the state penitentiary, breaking
his parole when he stole the hos
pital safe. He was committed to
the state prison from Portland
for burglary.
Barton has never done time in
the Oregon prison, but Is said to
be an ex-convict.
A cell door which the two pris
oners had lifted from its hinges
may have been used in prying the
bars apart. Deputy Sheriff Smith,
Parole Officer Varney and Police
Officer Hayden went beneath the
warehouse after the two men.

Drug manufacturers, asserting
that prohibition regulations are
curtailing preparation of "essen
tial medicinal agents" nave called
a protest meeting here Monday
under auspices of the American
Drug Manufacturers' association
and the organization of Pharma
ceutical Chemists. Most of the
larger producers of medicinal
preparations will attend. It was
announced.
Alcohol Is as extractive, sol
vent, or preservative must be In
cluded In hundreds of compounds,
a statement said, which "may be
fit for beverage purposes, espec
ially If the term Is stretched to
cover those alcoholic addicts, who
will take chances ' on anything
containing alcohol."
The logical and equitable way
of enforcing the law Is by ferret
