THE REGISTER. GU ABD, EDGEKE, OREGON
LAYS DOWN HOST
OF
PORTLAND, Dec. 21. W) With
t Kinldn, bnld stroke, not generally
predicted, the Oreuon liquor control
commission has ruled that after Jan
uary 1, dmi: stores and groceries in
cities of S.IXKI population or more
must discontinue sale of draft beer.
In such cities drug stores may sell
bottle beer which they can open and
dispense at counters. Grocers how
ever, will be permitted to sell pnckaKe
beer only, and it may not be consum
ed on the premises.
The commission further announced
that consideration was being given a
proposal to ban beer sales on Sunday
from 1 a. m. to 6 p. m.
The ruling was promulgated by Hie
commission in what was described as
a move to "eliminate the beer snloon
In residential districts."
That It would meet with vigorous
and consolidated opposition of drug
gists' and grocers' organization! was
a foregone conclusion. In some quar
ters it was suggested the commission
may have lsBticd the order on a "ten
tative" basis as it has been known
to do heretofore, reversing its earlier
judgment if p'.blic sentiment runs
strongly against the proposal.
George L. Snmmis, liquor control
hoard administrator, said the regula
tion curtailing drug store and grocery
store operations had been issued in re
sponse to protests that many such
places were being turned into saloons,
and that the fact thnt many women
and children are compelled by neces
sity to visit these places must not be
lost sight of.
Whatever the outcome, the liquor
commission Is at least temporarily
withholding action on all drug store
and grocery applications for beer li
censes for lO.'iri.
Sammis explained that under the
current ruling, grocery stores in towns
of less than 5,(MX) population will not
be given a retail beer license.
The drug store order applies weth
er or not lunches are aerved In the
place. Sammis said as long as the
meals are served in the drug store
the place is termed a "drug store,"
and not a "restaurant." One drug
store operator here mentioned, how
ever, that the state collects a "restau
rant" tax for drug atores serving
meals.
Roadhouses also were hit by the
new order of things. No license will
be issued to such an . out-of-Kwn
place "where the principal business
is entertainment or the serving of al
coholic beverages or where dancing
ii permitted," the commission ruled.
Roadhouses may qualify for restau
rant licenses to serve beer and light
wine to customers seated at tables,
but the drinks must be served with
bona tido meBla. Another contlition is
that dancing must be "incidental" to
the business and that there be no
charge for dancing.

A concession of defeat in this move

The canvass was conducted by aome
of the committee members and all
but five states Minnesota. Montana,
Idaho and the two Dokotas had been
heard from last night. The members
conducting the canvass were said to
believe that not more than two of
these states would favor an immediate
reorganisation. Hence the lineup

Rorah hail contended a reorganiza
tion in 1!.'MI would he too late. Flet
cher was said to have challenged his
foes to force a committee meeting un
der the Ill-stale rule If they had the
strength they claimed.
Asked what he would do now, Itorah
merely said:
"t know what I'd do If I hd the
power. I'd elect another national
committee."
New and startllno revelations were expected as ihe Senate Munitions Inquiry resumed Its hearings
at Washington, D. C. Left to right are the committsemen and their aids: Senators Arthur Vanden- j

request wns set for December 24.

P
n
PORTLAND, Dec. 21. OP) J. W.
Seavey, hop grower und broker, said
today a survey by the trade indicates
less than S0.H00 bales of 1934 hops
remain unsold on the Pacific coast.
Of this total Oregon has about 25.
000 bales; Washington, '30,000, and
Californio, 25.000.
There is a slow demand for hops al
though the price for the 1034 crop Is
from M to 12 cents a pound here.
The P,KW holdover is said to be virt
ually unsalable, although Seavey sold
two carloads of the 103a crop recently
for 5 cents a pound. About 45,000
bales of these are stored on the coast.
Senvey laid the slump in hop quota
tions to a beer consumption volume
of only half that predicted for 1034.
Although brewers had declared 70,
000,000 barrels of beer would be con
sumed this year, but 35.000,000 bar
rels were used by retailers.
The ten-cent price for a glass, and
flic high price of bottled beer, Seavey
said, has led to the disappointment of
brewers, wholesalers, retailers and
hop growers.

Genevieve Hoth, attractive 24-year
old investigator who worked her nay
into" the confidence of Chicago un
derworld characters and aided in
the arrest of John Burns, Dillingcr
mobster, was not concerned about
the danger that attended her mis
sion. "I wasn't scared at any 'time,"
she said today., but added she was
worried about nny anxiety she
may have caused her mother who
lives at Koonville, Ind. The mother,
Miss Ifoth Indicated, did not know
she h.id been assisting J. Edward
llnrce, deputy Indiana attorney
general in the work.

torney general's office.
Barce said that when he was
out touring Chicago night rendez
vous with members of the Burns
gong, Miss Both trailed him as n
lookout, ncting with Chicago police.
"The next night she would go
out with members of the gang and
I'd trail them," he continued.
Miss Hoth refused to talk of her
experiences in the gangster haunts.
Some of the results of the probe
into inner gang circles were sum
marized by authorities as:
Approach of a final solution of
the spectacular escape of ten long
term convicts from Indiana state
prison in September, 1033.
Definite assurance thnt John Ham
ilton, Dillinger gangster wanted for
murder of a Chicago detective, is still

BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 21.
UP) Two Oregon newly weds, the
woman an .expectant mother, were
arrested here Inst night as a bandit
team after a chose along shopper
crowded sidewolks.
They told police they were T.nwson
Butler, 24, and Mrs. Butler, the
former Iowa Ruth Taidingtou, 2,".
who added she had been a school
teacher at Creswell, Ore. They were
married in January and hnd trap
ped near Creswell since, they said.
According to police. Butler '"told
nil." I'atrolmnn W. E. Schmidt saw
him in the crowd and wanted to
question him, but the couple scam
pered off. '
When he caught up with them,
Schmidt said, he found in the wo
man's purse the registration slip of
an automobile reported stolen. Near
by was the machine, wljlch Butler
assertedly admitted using.
Schmidt said he found In the car
chisels, wire, dynamite caps, fuses,
a sawed-off shotgun, home-made tear
gas bombs, ammunition, a sledge and
mining drills. Butler admitted having
robbed several chain stores and a
drug store, explaining also the ap
paratus had been intended for a
Berkeley theater safe cracking, Sch
midt reported.
Mr. and Mrs. Butler were married
at Creswell about a year ago. At
thnt time Mrs. Butler, then Iluth
Ludington, wns tenching school in
eastern Oregon nnd her husband wns
engaged In farming in that part of
the state. Mrs. Butler's mother.
Mrs. Caroline I.udingston, lives In
the Cloverdnle section. Her father,
H. D. I.udington died a short time
ago.
Acquaintances in Creswell were of
the opinion thnt the couple was
still living in eastern Oregon.
Apartments are so scarce in the
larger Herman cilies thnt thousands
of young married couples are forced to
live for yenrs in hoarding houses or
with their parents.
