MISTRIAL ENDS
SAPIRO'S SUIT

motion for mistrial," asserted the
judse after William Henry Galla
gher, chief of counsel for Sapiro,
and Hanley had debated the motion
at length.
"Up to the time that the public
press interferred with the functions
of this court, the court believed no
mistrial should be granted.
"It is deeply regrettable and de
plorable that a case which has cost
as much money and labor should
come to his conclusion.
'But when that newspaper report
became known it seemed, and seems
now impossible to proceed."
Gaucher in a formal slalement
last nipht disclaimed any intention
to come into court today and argue
acainst the part of the motion for
a mistrial as based upon Mrs. Holt
man's having granted the interview
However, promptly at the opening of
court lie launched Into a 45-minute
address so ear-marked as an argu
ment against the motion that when
he stated in conclusion it was not
such an appeal, Hanley was taken
by surprise and had to have the
court reporter read to him ualla
"hers final remarks.
He expressed concern lest the
judgment reached if the trial pro
reeded, be reversed by a higher
court.
300 WITNESSES REMAIN
"There are, I understand, 300 to
-100 witnesses yet to be presented in
this case," he said. "No plaintilf or
defendant ought to be obliged to
come into a federal court and twice
present his evidence, but that seem
Ingly is the case because of a desire
of a nert'spaper for something start
ling. This is a terribly unfortunate
experience for the court."
Judge Raymond asserted that tne
information in the affidavits had
been turned over to the federal de
partment of justice but that he had
not received a final report of the
investigation and did not at the
time know whether there would be
criminal proceedings against any
one.
Attornevs for Aaron Sapiro and
Henry Ford agreed with Judge Fred
M. Raymond today to meet here
Saturday, April 30, to determine
whether a date for a new trial of
Sapiro's $1,000,000 libel suit against
Ford could be agreed upon.

availing attempts at wider amalga
mation of interests in California is
just now beinK brought to a consu-
mation there in the so-called "Park
er plan." which takes cognizance of
and embraces all elements in the
industry. In the history of the prune
industry there as well as here the
failure of the growers' cooperatives
has lain largely in the fact that they
antagonized, fought arid invited the
cut-throat competition of the pack
ers. In the fight for supremacy and
control both elements resorted to
tactics that were injurious to the in
dustry as a whole and prevented its
stabilization.
The "Parker plan" Is the result
of a realization on the part of grow
ers and packers alike in California
that the good of the industry de
manded that private differences be
forgotten and general cooperation
secured. In actuality the "Parker
plan," which la extremely simple,
embodies a dual organization, one
of growers who pool their prunes
and one of packers who undertake
to market the pool. In effecting the
organization those sponsoring the
scheme set out to sign up 90 per
cent of the packers and 90 per cent
of the growers. One of the chief
difficulties was In apportioning the
amounts of prttns to be allotted to
each packer for sale, and it has tak

ences between packers ai to the
amounts they are entitled to. but

Typical Drinking Case
Lands Three Youths of
17 Years in City Jail
A case typical of those with which
the police and school authorities
have to deal in combatting liquor
drinking among boys and girls was
demonstrated in the arrest of Elvo:
Allen, James Noles and E. A. Gar- I
rett, each 17 years of age. on charges!
of drunkenness and possession of
liquor last night. Allen and Nolesl
are high school boys, and under the;
ruling announced by Principal J. C.
Nelson today, face permanent sus
pension from school until they fur-1
nish a satisfactory explanation of
where they got the moonshine liquor
they were drinking. i
The liquor, according to the police
officers, is the worst sample of

months, and when the boys were
interrogated by officers two or three
hours after their arrest all were in
more or less stupified condition.

like it was paralyzed.
Garrett, who said that the pint of

they were taken into custody be

taken it from an automobile park

nights ago and no amount of ques
tioning would induce them to give

tonnage of prunes handled by each
over a period of years. i
A telegram received here yester
day by Walter Jenks, of the Ore-1
gon committee of five, states that
the details have all been worked out
and that the organization has se
cured control of practically all of
the spot prunes held in California,
and will announce opening prices
under the new scheme Saturday,
probably.
Under the "Parker plan" the prices
on all prunes controlled by the or
ganization are fixed by a joint com
mittee representing the growers and
the packers, and maintenance oi
these prices Is mandatory upon all
packers who wish to continue to en
joy the benefits of the cooperative
arrangement. It eliminates price
cutting to secure business and guar
antees to all growers the same re
turns for their prunes.
It is along these lines, and with
the idea of perfecting a plan In
which all of the packers would co
operate that the Oregon committee
has been working. Until such a def
inite proposition was finally settled
upon, and until the momentum of
actual achievement In California
had been secured, the committee did
not Intend to ask for the support ol
the growers. In short, they saw the
necessity for having a definite plan
to offer before they sought to in

sectional meetings. .
While not necessarily antagonistic
to their plans, the commitete mem
bers feel that the OAC movement
is ill-advised at this time, in that
the college experts have no program
or practical remedy to suggest.
Until the committee has had an
opportunity to complete its plans

ARKANSAS WORST OFF
The mast critical situation in Ar
kansas was at Clarendon, where the
White and Cache rivers come to
gether. A break in a leve there
yesterday caused widespread deso

with little food or clothing. The only
communication to the town is the
telephone which had not gone out
today and over which reports of the
sulfering were relayed to The Asso
ciated Press and to the outside
world.
Wind and rain storms swept over
the western and southwestern por

In Noles' possession was a hand

as to be novel even among police ex
hibits, which Garrett and Allen said
Noles had told them he copied out
of a book belonging to a high school
girl Noles. however, told the offi
cers that he found the article and
that the story of copying it out of
a girl's book at school he had told
his companions was a deliberate lie.
The source of the obscene article Is
being investigated further, as it is
not the first that has" been discover
ed among high school students.
Arraigned before Police Judge
Poulsen this afternoon the boys
were fined $10 each on charges of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
and the liquor possession charge is

future conduct of the boys. Rather
than hold them in jail over night in
company with three habitual drunks
the police released the youths lost

In regard to the claim of the
state against the county for a share

day that the county will adopt

returns on the crop.
He stated it required from eight to
12 years for a commercial orchard
to come into bearing and that 20
years was then about the average
oearmg lite or th orchard.
Annual maintenance cost he placed
at from $20 to 60 an acre or a fair
average of $35. A fair charge per
acre for the man operating it as an
owner above labor costs was placed
at $10 an acre.
PRODUCTION FIGURES
Considerable discussion came up
among growers present as to the
average production which was placed
by the 30 growers quizzed at 2500
pounds an acre. As these 30 grow
ers own the best orchards In the
section, it was pointed out this was
very high. Mr. Hogg stated that a
Polk county survey over a five-year
average showed 1G00 pounds, and
canncrs placed an average of from
1200 to 2000 pounds, which would
just about meet the Polk county
average. It was generally agreed,
oven by Mr. Hogg, that the 2500
pound figure was out of line.
Cost of picking and marketing, not
including cost of pickers, was placed
at a shade below 1 cent a pound
and picking wages averaged 2 cents
a pound for the past five years. The
fair wage for orchard labor outside
of picking was placed at $3.50 a day
for a 10-hour day, this including all
orchard labor, not only cherry
orchard labor.
