Alleged Regulations Framed

Distillery Plants.
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

SENDING MEN HERE
FOR INVESTIGATION
Two white clad maruders who appeared at the Deaconess
hospital at a late hour Saturday night and disappeared after
frightening nurses and patients, are being severely con
demned by officers and citizens of Salem. 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

believed to have been invited by

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

MRS. 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.

MANSFIELD TELLS OBJECT BF
OIIGAHON
The $50,000,000 live stock
loan guaranteed by the syndicate
of far-east bankers, was relaly on
ly the promise that they'd look
after such notes as were guaran
teed by the: country bankers, and
further endorsed by the federal
reserve. 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

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. But when the speak- J'!J
er demanded their figures for Ioff J a rW.f
