EUGENE, Ore., Oct. 22. Important evidence was ob

and slaying four of the trainmen. -
As the officers here are working under the direction of
Dan O'Connell, special agent of the Southern Pacific company,
who is making his headquarters at Ashland during the man
hunt, they said they were unable to divulge the nature of
the evidence obtained here until it is given. out by O'Connell.'
They stated, however, that with : the information 1 obtained

what is described by ., officials . as
rapidly Increasing supplies of high
power beer, is under considera
tion at the treasury. - -.
. The program contemplates prac
tically .doubling" the strength of
the coast guard and the placing of
a ! prohibition " agent in every
brewery. While the changes un
der' consideration for the coast
guard have ; not yet been placed
before Secretary Mellon, those in
charge of the service have calcu
lated approximately twenty mil
lion dollars would 'have to be ap
propriated by congress to carry
them out. Tentative plan&call for
the addition ot more than a. score
of cutters and about 50 . speedy
power boats, to be used in track
ing ' down rum runners off the
coasts. Additional personnel is
also proposed.
Secretary Mellon is said to re
cognize that "high power beer ia

many sections of the country and,
it is reported, is inclined to fayo
a return , to ; the old . arrangement
ot putting an agent of the . treas

that daily tests, may be made of

Treasury officials denied that
the new. program was due to re
