OF THREE STATES
Portland, Feb. 3 (Special)
Cherry gi jwoi j of Idaho, 'Wash
ington, Oregon and California out
lined plans for a fight to maintain
a tariff on cherry importations In
to thu United Htatcs at a meeting
in thu Portland Chamber of Com
merce yftHterd.iy. A committee to
carry the fight to congress wan
named. Jt la composed of J. O.
Holt, KuHeii'-, (Jr.; Max Gel bar,

dent of th California Cherry
Growers' association.
In a resolution adopted at the
so.uHiori request wis made to the
granges, fann-iis' unions and farm
bureaus thut their members peti
tion congress to establish the
cherry tariff sought by the grow
ers.
Agitation fdr formation of a
state-wide cherry growers orga n
ratlon in Oregon was a feature of
the meeting but the Oregon pro
ducers present thought the time
not yet ripe for this. Immediate
objectives were left in hands of the
general committee or ?ot forth in
resolutions.
One resolution petitions the leg
.stature to make spraying eoinpul
sory. Such a regulation was pro
posed as a means of combattnir the
cherry maggot fly which caused
considerable damage in California
last Beason and resulted in a quar
antine restriction. The state board
cf horticulture will be asked a). so
to prohibit shipment of cherri
from one county to another with
out inspection.
Mr. Maddox served as chairman
of th conference and Paul (Julkov,

CHERRY MEN
EXTRA SESSION
PRUNES OCCUPY
FIRM POSITION
IN THE MARKETS
The expected Interest in dried
fruits since the first of January
has been experienced and we have
been having a good demand, both
for domestic and export, in what
supplies there are left, says the
California Fruit News.
The larger domestic markets
seem to have been the most ac
tive recently and thia may be ex
pected to be augmented by the
demand from the smaller markets
when they fall Into line. Kurope
Is expected, also, to be rather an
active buyer during the spring, as
It is the opinion of the trade here
that It has not yet supplied Us re
quirements between now and next
lull in the dried fruit lines. Prices
are advancing in all of our lines.
with the exception or rigs, which
have been further reduced to ef
fect a clean-up In the Adriatics
that are left. Apricots continue
their advance, as do peaches. The
latter have been reported from
some markets as having shown a
2 cent advance all at one time, but
this statement is too big. Several
grades are, however, out entirely
with moat firms. Apples and pears
are unchanged and firm.
Prunes occupy a very firm po
sition, as has been Indicated for
the past several weeks in these
columns. Commercial packers'
quotations are showing definite
tendencies to advance and in some
casea are Identical with the asso
ciation's new list, while others arc
quoting at a small fraction below.
Pacific Northwestern Italians are
jumping up quite actively and are
not very far behind the California
prices on French now. there be
ing so comparatively few prunes
ieft In Oregon and vicinity as to
have put the business in the posi
tion of a seller's market.
ON HIGH STREET
The two story building occupied
by the Great Western garage
fronting on High street has been
leased by the H. L. Stiff furniture
company from the Lamport estate,
and Mr. Stiff will take possession
the first of next month, marking
a beginning of expansion of his
furniture business, and the cen
tralization of his warehouse facili
ties. The building he Is taking
over Is 65 feet by 1G5 Teet, ex
tending bark to the alley, and
deliveries will be made from there,
Instoad of from the front of the
store.
Total floor spare In the new
building Is 21,450 feet, which
will make a space of 57,000 feet
In the now building and the one
now occupied by the business,
fronting on Court street, in the
same block.
In the new building will be a
large second hand department,
modern chipping department, and
warehouse room that will replace
that In two buildings far removed
from the store. Concentration of
stock will thus be effected, ex
plains Mr. Stiff.
Some remodeling and Improv
ing the garage building will be
necessary, says Mr. 8Uff, who ex
pects to begin the first of March,
as soon as possession of the bulid
in-; is taken.
Weekly aaclons !n the new
store room are neing planned by
Mr. Stiff, who expects O Institute
a clearing home for furniture.
The military affairs committee
decided to recommend favorably
on four proposed armory projects
after hearing the pleas of delega
tions seeking appropriations.
Those projects finding favor to
dato are: La Grande, $40,000;
Cottage Grove, $30,000; Forest
Grove. $:i 0,00 0, and Silverton,
$10,000. The Inttfr sum Is sought
for completing the Silverton struc
ture. Although strong pleas were
set forth In favor of Astoria's re
quest fur an armory appropriation.
the committee felt It could not
include It this year. The recom
mendations of the military af
folrs committee must now run the
gauntlet of the Joint ways and

A POLISH DRY
BUREAU SAYS
OSWALD WEST
(Continued from Page One)
reiving a conciee general state
ment from George L. Cleaver In
reply to testimony that has been
submitted by anil-Cleaver wit
ncdses. flerwig lias expressed a desire
to repl yto testimony given las?
nitrht by L. M. Kletzing, and th
committee wishes to question Gov
ernor Pierce about the source of
propaganda that is resulting in Ex
cusing letters from nil parts of
the state, charging the commUtx
with being discourteous to the
governor. Most members of th
committee believe the governor
ha hud nothing to do with start
ing the flood of letters.
There were several spots
that scintillated with blue sparks
in the public hearing conducted
last night by the committee In
vestigating the state prohibition
department and In he executive
session that followed it. The lat
ter did not end until the hour
hand on the state house dial had
flagged past the hour of mid
night find gotten a good start on
another day.
These surcharged spots were
mainly when Onwald West lasher!
to the quick all violators of th"
prohibition law and doubly flog
ged George L. Cleaver and Gov
ernor Pierce; when L. M. Klet
ing. business manager of the
Western American, Ku Klux or
gan, let the committee know
what a scoundrel he consider
Cleaver to be and aired the
breach between Cleaver and the
klan; and again when Louise
Palmer Webber withered under a
fire of words all people who crit
icise Cleaver. The committee- vot
ed to conclude Its Investigation
with another session today about
noon.
"I am a prohibitionist. I always
have been and ! always will be,"
said Oswald West. "I am for the
enforcement of law. When you
tell me It can't be enforced I re
ply that a one legged constable
with the proper authority can en
force the law anywhere. Hut I
want to see this state department
wiped out. We can never get any
where with law enforcement with
the organization ' nw have. I
am not going to h a party to
that kind of law enforcement that
gets the poor devil on the doc
and lets go the vUntors In the
high wali of life. I often run
into banquets where liquor is
served and where officers whose
WHEAT LOSES
COUNCIL ACTS

RECOVERS
duty ti to enforce the law are
themselvec violators. I am tired
of it.
First Great Crime
"The first great crime In this
attempt at enforcement was
when Governor Pierce appointed
eorge L. Cleaver head of the de
partment. He knew Cleaver' rec
ord In his own home town, and
knew be wasn't a fit man for
the place. The governor has abso
lutely no excuse to offer for the
mess things are In now. Wipe out
the law. Get rid of Cleaver and
his crew and turn law enforce
ment over to the sheriffs and dis
trict attorneys. If they don't do
their duty come bark In two
years and again provide for
commissioner. Under the present
system prohibition is going to the
bad In Oregon.
Senator Garland opened the
public hearing by stating the
reason for calling It, which wats
that many people are criticizing
the committee because it ts try
ing to white wash Cleaver and
his department, while many oth
ers are finding fault with the
committee because it la trying to
destroy prohibition enforcement
and humiliate the governor. He
first called on Governor Pierce to
speak.
Defending the department, the
governor said counties had been
found where It was almost Im
possible to get a conviction In
liquor case until sentiment had
been created. In trying to enforce
the law he declared that Cleav
er had earned his salary.
"The funds with whlrh we
have to work is insufficient,
said the governor. "We have had
only about 1300 for each county,
but with that amount we hae
worked wonders, and the chiff
value has been to put backbone
into those officers who were re
luctant to enforce the law. or who
were not vigorous in their en
forcement." Pierce Defends Actions
The governor defended his ac
tion in turning over to W. J. Her
wig of the Anti-Saloon leagve
through Cleaver $1500 to be used
in the Investigations of Abe Wein
berg, detective employed by the
Anti-Saloon league, and declnred
he believed it money well spent.
Speaking of local officers the gov
ernor commended District Attor
neys Keator of Umatilla county,
Fisher of Coos, Conner3 of Yam
hill, Stipp of Oregon City and
others, but said there were other
officers who felt offended when
state officers were sent Into their
counties.
Fortlanders Heard
Four representatives of the
Portland law enforcement com
mittee were heard, all asking for
a continuation of the law. They
were J. J. Kots, S. P. Lock wood,
head of the Portland community
chest ; John Pearson, a lumber
man, and F. B. Leary, a contrac
tor. The committee is made up of
business and professional men.
Rev. Dr. Clark, a Congregation
al minister representing the min
isterial association of Portland,
read a resolution of that organi
zation opposing the North bill
for abolition of the department,
and asking instead that the per
centage of funds for the depart
ment be increased to 50 per cent.
He averred that some local offi
cers are not aggressive and need
the assistance of the state de-,
partment.
K. T. Cookineham, sheriff of i
Umatilla county, asked retention
of the law, declaring that he re
cently attended a public dance in
hfs county where boys and girls
from 14 to 16 years old were
drunk from moonshine.
Carrie Nation Brigade
Mrs. Mary Mallett, president
of the W. C. T. U. In Oregon, said
her organziation was back of the I
law 4000 strong. Mrs. Alexander
Thompson, former member of the
legislature, asserted that viola
tion of the law Is un-American,
whether by the lowliest bootleg
ger or by the so called first fam
ilies. "Rather than abolish any
law enforcing department," she
said, "we should add others If wc
need them, and If necessary we
will organize a Carrie Nation
hatchet brigade and go help."
"From all I read and heard
about this Investigation," said
Louise Palmer Webber, "I ex
pected a grand expose of a man
utterly crooked, who with all his
associates was being bought and
sold all over the state. Hut it
seems to be much ado about noth
ing." ;
Nellie Doton, Yamhill county
treasurer, read a long statement
In behalf of Cleaver, showing
among other things that in her
county fines In 1024 totaled
$2200, against about $1700 in
1922.
W. J. Herwig made a plea for
an increase to 50 per cent in the
portion of fine funds allowed tho i
department. He denied that he
had ever dictated any of the pol-l
fcles of the department.
West Mnkes Plea
Mrs. V irginia 11. Washburn,
author of "Tilly from Tillamook"!
read a long defense of Cleaver.
L. M. Kletzing, former business
manager of the Western Ameri-1
can. came back at her by declar
ing that he listened in on a tel
ephone conversation once when
she planned to "get" Cleaver. He;
went further into this when lat
er called to testify. i
Chris Sehuehel of Oregon City.
former legislator, pleaded for a
retention of the law and flayed
the "400" who back up the boot
leggers. To put enforcement Into
the hands of the sheriffs and dis
trict attorneys he declared would
be a step backward, and cited in
stances in his own county in sup
port of the statement.
At the executive session J. II.;
Napier, attorney of Ilredisport, de-1
fended the activities of Clear; r j
and his men at that place. He was:
followed by K let zing, the former
biitine manager of the Kir n
newspaper. I
Kletzine Tells of Cleaver I
Kletziug told in detail of a tel
ephone conversation between Mrs
Washburne and l.a Ronda M :
Pierce, with himself on a connect
ed phone ot Pierce's Invitation.
In this conversation, he said,
they talked about plans to "get1'
Cleaver.
Kletiing asserted that Cleaver
has Information that he has not
given the committee about money
paid state agents from county
funds, and submitted lettera to
support the atatement.
Kletzing kept the committee
pepped up with one startling
statement after another. Among
these was that Cleaver paid his
chamber of commerce fees in
Portland from Btate funds, and
that Weinberg the Anti-Saloon
league operative, tried to bribe
District Attorney Clyde N. John
ston of Eugene as well as Barker.
the federal agent In Portland.
Cleaver admitted the statement
about the chamber of comme ce
dues. He further charged Cleav
er's department with being In
league with bootleggers, and cit
ed that William Mc Mills, one of
Cleaver's agents got $100 from
Ted Wolfe, a Portland bootleg
ger, and told him " e was going
to Klamath county to engage in a
clean up campaign. Kletzing told
In detail of a visitation made by
himself and others to Governor
Pierce last July when they tried
to get the executive to remove
Cieaver. He submitted a letter
presented to the governor at that
time.
Breach with Klan
The breach between Cleaver
and the Ku Klux Klan appearei
when Cleaver asked Kletzing if
Lent Dever, former editor of the
Western American, wasn t fight
ing him. This Kletzing admitted
"Wasn't Dever a drunkard?
asked Cleaver.
Kletzing evaded the question.
"Isn't the national law enforce
ment league with which you are
now connected a Klan organlza
tion?" asked Cleaver.
"Absolutely not,' 'answered
Kletzing. "You are going around
saying that we get convictions
because we go to Klan Judges.
You want to be careful what you
say."
Kletzing paid his respects to
Mr. Herwigt'whom he accused of
having done some double crossing
"Herwig said he didn't think
Cleaver was the man for the
place," Kletzing stated, "and said
he could get rid of him In 12
hours. He had a list of about 33
names of men he considered fit
to succeed Cleaver, but said that
whenever he named a man suit
able for the place It didn't suit
the governor politically."
Kletzing told how Clearer and
the governor tried to get rid of
S. B. Sandefer, an agent at Mod-
ford, and how Herwig saved Sfn-
defer's scalp. "Sandefer seemed
to have something on Herwig.'
Kletzing added.
Kletzing objected to the prohi
bition law for several reasons,
one of which was the confusion
in the appointment of agents.
"Cleaver names one bunch ' he
said, "and the governor will give
a star to anyone who pats him on
the back.
"How many men do you think
have patted the governor on the
back enough to get stars?" asked
Senator Hare.
"O, a couple hundred, maybe."
Kletzing answered.
