DRUGGISTS TO JUDGE RED-NOSED GENTRY Beer and Wine Allowable Any Time, But Whiskey Only Every Ten Days WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. As unexpected as a rainstorm in a desert, . regulations per mitting manufacture and use of beer for" medical purposes were issued today by the treasury department. Withheld since , March 3, when former Attorney Gen eral Palmer held the use of beer as a medicine to be legal under the prohibition Jaws, is suance of the peer regulations came as a surprise to leaders of the dry forces who declared there had been 'an understand Jng with the treasury .hat the new: rules should not be pro mulgated until the senate had acted upon the anti-bcer bill. Issuance of the beer regula tions will cause redoubled ef forts to effect passage of the anti-beer measures, senate leaders declared, while Wayne B. ' Wheeler, general counsel for the anti-saloon league, de scribed the treasury's action as "less defensible than at any other time. ' , Secretary Mellon, In announc Ins beer rules, declared that "the legal rights of the parties con cerned . being plain, the depart ment is unable longer to delay U x suance ot these regulations." Wine and WltiskejNlnrluded The new rules cover compre hensively the use of treer, wines and spirituous liquors as medi cines. The amount of beer a phy sician may prescribe at one time for the use of the sme person is limited to two and one-half gal . Ions, equivalent of a case, but no . arbitrary limit is placed npon the number, of such prescriptions a .physicians may write or the same person may obtain within a given period. , , , , . ' , Two quarts of wine was the limit put on a single prescription for that beverage bnt otherwise the regulations are the same as for beer. Spirituous liquors are limited to one pint to the same person ct one time. . Drug-gists Get Rusiness Prescriptions for theso medi cines may be filled only by a li censed pharmacist who also is a retail druggist or a licensed phar macist la the employ ot a retatl druggist. v. Prescriptions are not retillable and the regulations, declare that a pharmacist "should refuse to fill any prescription foj liquor if he has any reason to believe that physicians are prescribing for other than medical oses or that a patient is securing through ona or more physicians quantities of tAtrrrtoati-noi I llnnnr in excess Of the amount 'necessary for medic inal purposes. In connection with issuance or prescriptions, the regulations said: .a "No prescription may be -issued , for a greater quantity of intoxi cating liquor than is necessary for use as a medicine by a person for whom prescribed in the treatment of an ailment from which such patient Is known by thB physician to be suffering." What'U You Have? Besides beer, regulations per mit use for medicinal purposes of other Intoxicating malt liquors such as ale, porter, malt extracts and similar fermented malt H - quors containing one-half of one per cent or more of alcohol by volume. . , Manufacture of these medical preparations is confined to duly qualified brewers on brewery premises and may be sold by them only In bottles and closed Right; to prescribe distilled spirits, wnes and malt liquors for medical purposes is confined to such physicians . as hf.ve . ob- N (Caatlaued on par 5) JAPANESE DELEGATION ARRIVES NORTH S ALEW 1 ROAD CHANGE FJFTyk LUCKS FAVOR ? -rvHfH .

The delegation has arrived in Washington. A plan which will request Prin cipal J. C. Nelson to withold cre dits from athletes who do not turn in their equipment at the end of the season, is under considera tion by the student council of the high school as a means of cutting out useless expense incurred each year for equipment which was not turned in. This year the student body Is handling a larger amount of money through its treasury than ever before. The budget but re cently accepted by the student council calls for appropriations Into various actoivlties aggregat ing over $1500.

The two men kicked at the doors of the institution and left a note ad dressed to County Judge W. Ivl.i Bushey, which reads : "You better turn those girls loose. What the Ku Klux Klan starts it finishes' I The letter bears a splotch of red ink and is signed with the letters "K. K. K." The Ku Klux Klan is sending repre sentatives to Salem to investigate, according to L. B. Cal loway, state Kleagle. "Even from the moment I first learned of the disturbance I did not credit it to the Ku Kim: Klan or to any organization." stated Frank B. Wedel, president of the hospital yesterday. "It is my opinion that the two individuals took affairs into their own hands, for what purpose, one can only surmise." While the theory ot practical jokers being responsible has 'been: advanced, there is a general at t'tude that something more sinis ter is behind the threat which is believed to have been invited by articles appearing In the evening paper recently in which Jndge V.

' One of the many serious prob lems which demand attention in the financial committee meeting Was a debt of $150 left by the student body of last year which is owed to the business men of Salem. An Investigation showed that much of the debt had been incurred through improper requi sitioning of funds and the illegal buying of supplies from busiess men who have not required re quisitions from the school. ) This debt is to be paid imme diately but drastic steps may be tkke'n that it will not be repeated tjiis year. kg two g rls In the care of an of ficial of the hospital, i!

WATCH TOWER WITH GATES ADVOCATED Neither Viaduct Nor Subway Find Sufficient Number of Supporters The proposed viaduct over the Southern Pacific railway near the fair grounds ran into a snag last night at the meeting called at the Commercial club. In fact, the viaduct, which was to be 1200 feet Ibng and which it was said by some practically put out of commission a number of business houses, found no ad vocates at the meeting with the possible exception of the commit tee from the Commercial club which had called the meeting. Meeting on Record And in order that the sense of the meeting might be properly re portetd to the public service com mission, should the viaduct lidea ever be revived, two motions were proposed and each passed almost unanimously. The first was that it was the sense of the meeting that it favor ed as a means of safety, a watch tower and automatic gates over the crossings of the Southern Pa cific on both the Silverton road and Pacific highway. The second motion which pass ed almost unanimously was that the meeting go on record that it was opposed to both an overhead viaduct, or a subway. Sketch Presented C. B. McCulloush. chief engi neer of the state highway commis sion, brought to the meeting a rought sketch which had been drawn for a viaduct on the Silver ton road. He explained that should action be taken, it would come through the public service commission and then to the bridge department of the state highway commission also that the drawing ot the pro posed viaduct was made merely i In order to help secure an expers sion of opinion as to what really would be acceptable. Crossings Are Bad In a general discussion, it was acknowledged by all that the crossings north of Salem over the railroad tracks were aboiR the worst in the state. Fred Steusloff said that he was in favor of doing something, and that after con sidering the matter, thought a watch tower and automatic gates, would solve the problem. The strongest objection to an overhead crossing 24 feet above the present roadway, came from property owners who said it would ruin their business and cause great depreciation of property. Expression Asked It was also pointed out that the railroad crossing near the Valley Packing Company plant is one of the worst in the state, and the suggestion was made that the Southern Pacific should be com pelled to make the crossing pass able When George J. Griffith, who presided, asked for an expression of opinion as between a viaduct and subway, the vote showed a strong preference for a subway. But neither a via.duct nor a sub way is wanted by property inter ests in North Salem who claim tney would suffer. It has not as yet been decided whether any further action will be taken to bring the proposed viaduct before the public service commission. Among residents of North Sa - lem who have a vital interest In the proposed viaduct and who were opposed, are the foilowinp: H. V. Doe J. J. McDonald. Charles Wright, Fred W. Steus loff, George Savage, P. Burns, C. A. Gies. Dr. G. W. Beeohlrr, Dr. W. L. Marshall, A. F. Waller and W. Pellett. These were present at the meeting last night.

EAKL, SANDE When Miss Marian Casey, a niece of Sam Hlldreth. part owner of the Hildreth-St. Clair stables, saw Jockey Earle Sande pilot one after another of her uncle's horses to victory at Belmond park she was captivated by this lad of 23 year3 who was winning against the best veterans of the turf. . Seeing him gaily evading pock ets, dodging pitfalls and always guiding where the path was clear. Miss Casey decided that Sande would do very well at a helm on the matrimonial seas. So when the season's star rider asked her to become his wife the other day she could not say no. They were married at Trenton, N. J., Sep tember 15. Jockey Earle Sande needs no Introduction wherever horses are known, for his riding has been one of the outstanding features of the American turf this year. Sande, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. John C. Sande, 1965 Trade street, this city, has been In Salem only during the holiday season of last winter. His fam ily came here from American Falls about two years ago. Mr. Sande is a foreman of the Spaul ding company's local yard. Karl, his father says, has been in the racing game less than four years. His first practice was on his father's farm ponies on the little ranch near American Falls, Idaho. After one season at coun ty and state fair courses, young Sande took a. big jump to the track at Xew Orleans, riding strings owned by Goodman. John son & Ross. Last year Sande con tracted to ride for Hildreth & Ft. Clair and has worked for two suc cessive seasons with their stock, riding some of the best known horses in the world. polk com KILLED IHSTIULY Everett Robinson Victim of Accident in Balderee Logging Camp INDEPENDENCE, Or., Oct. 24. j Everett Robinson, 23, was j killed instantly today at the Bald eree Logging camp when a block i which was attached to a guide j pulled out and the line struck ; the man.

Labor board receives word from big four brotherhood chiefs reiterating warning that strike cannot be postponed, alhtough it may be settled. The Coliseum, scene of many national political conventions, selected Uy the board for strike bearing with 1600 rail and union chiefs beginning Wednesday. Public invited and an nouncement made that the 1600 executives must attend every session. Officials of signal men's union, representing 15,000 rail employes, j vote not to authorize walkout at present, limiting prospective strikers to 475,000 trainmen, conductors, engineers, firemen, switchmen and telegraphers. Leaders warn signal men to perform only their regular work, however. Labor board members say it will not offer any plan of settlement of strike situation at Wednesday's hearing and that any such plan must come from the roads or unions. CLEVELAND Big four brotherhood chiefs announce strike situation unchanged. ST. LOt'IS E. J. Man ion, president of the Order of Rail road Telegraphers denies report his 75,000 men may not walk out and says they will stand by the "big five." HOUSTON International and Great Northern passenger service remains normal and freight service rapidly approach ing nronial despite Btrike by 600 trainmen. WASHINGTON After a conference with District Attor neys from New York, Chicago, Cleveland, BuffaIoand Indian apolis, Attorney General Daugherty said he did not believe there would be a strike, but uniformity of policy in any event was determined on that the government has the inherent right to protect itself from a paralysis of transportation facilities and mentioned the conspiracy laws. I JUDGE BUSHEY IS GIVEN SALEM Placing their organization, the Salem Ministerial as sociation, on record as standing; back of County Judge W. M. Bushey jn his program against the liquor traffic and all immoral conditions prevailing in IMarion county, Salem min isters yesterday adopted a resolution to that effect. Rev. J. J. Evans, of the First Christian church was ap pointed as the association member of the Salem Sunday School association to fill the vacancy left by the removal of Rev. C.

Since these notes are practically excluded by their very terms, it is too guarntee at all for the farmers of the west." This was the substance of part of the address at the Commercial club luncheon, Monday noon, when George A Mansfield, presi- dent of the Oregon Farm Bureau Federation, : presented the farm ers' case 'for the club considera tion. : Comes from Ankansas Mr. Mansfield was a country boy down in Arkansas back when their houses were built with wood en pegs instead of nails, and no body was rich and nobody was poor. He recalled when their waggish country editor, recount ing the story of a real millionaire and another man with $750,000 in New York city, predicted that some day these millionaires would be so common ;as to be neighbor hood pests. land one village wise acre, being interrogated as to just what a millionaire was, op ined that he didn't know exactly, but it was ."something between a coon and a foxj and hell on corn." From that: vaigue understanding the speaker showed how he had come to realike just what it meant to be a multi-millionaire with his hancjs on the business strings of the .World. Products- Route Traced The Fpeake outlined at length the course followed by the prod ucts from the Oregon farm. He showed thatpregon wheat, much j ing the farm crops in July and nrotherhondf pliiSV . -of which had; brought the grower . August had been curtailed they & less than a (dollar a bushel this would not produce the figures. In ll.e season, had lieen marketed abroad at $3.20 a bashel, and the spread absorbed by Speculation financed outside of: Oregon. Livestock, GENEAL DAUGUERTY STRIKE SITUATION SUPPORT OF MINISTERS AMONG FARMERS too, the farm bureau found down in i Jackson county, had suffered a spread of $20 a head between grower and the final market. Enough cattle were being shipped he said, to make a total of $400. 000 a year that properly belong ed to the producer and the con sumer, but that actually went out side in the financing of the deals. The speaker said that he and one of the Jackson county bankers sat down, and in a few minutes figured a round million dollars j that wen outside as unearned "spread" in a single year on the Jackson county exports. He pre dicted that until the rural sec-i tlbns of America begin to realize: how they-are being mal-financed agriculture must decline and In dustrialism grow In power, until interior America must practical ly! become a desert waste that cannot support people in the Am erican scale ot living and so will be abandoned. , Board Calls Slansfield The speaker told graphically of his call to appear before the fed eral reserve board, where the pre sident of the board and all his advisors were in council. "And I want to tell you It wasn't any soft soap or bubble blowing match," declared the speaker. "I told them in good strong English that couldn't be misunderstood!" Mansfield is mighty easy to understand. He talks like a 13-inch gun! The reserve officers, he said, denied that there had ever been any order, to deflate agricultural securities.
