REPORT Portland (LP The loaest price In the United States of all the leading cities Is now beintf quoted lor efrts by Seattle Interests, acrordinR to word froni there. A market set at 18c for U. 8. extras, whirh are a more closely candled (trade than the local extras, established a new low record lor the wmtry period along the Pacific slope. It has been the demoralized trend of the Puget Bound Interest that has played more or leas havoc with the Portland price situation for some time. The under-sellliiff of es tablished prices has long been a bearish argument against the Port land market values. El forts are being made rj killers to stock up with liTe chickens, but at a lower price range. Offers are as low as 11c for light hens. There has been a fair Increase In the re cent supply as a result of extreme low eg prices. Up to 33c pound Is being offered by a local killer for No. 1 dressed torn turkeys, Portland delivery, al though general bids are around 30 lc. Some are paying the same price for hens as well as for tonus. Very liberal demand Is continued for country killed lambs at full re cent prices. Hoes and veal arc stea dy to weaker. Beef Is about steady with bulls scarce. With a further increase In the supply, sales of Columbia river smelt are being made down to 4c lb , by jocal wholesalers. There is an acute j shortage of crnbs as well as crab meat. Frozen halibut Is slow sale with Inferior quality. Indicating spring, or at least an approach to It, Is the Initial oifer ln& of onion sets on the market. The first supply Is selling 7-8c lb. Very slugql-sli trading tone is re flected In the potato trade, both at the source and at Jobbing points. The Increased supply forecast by the late government report is a fac tor. Montana endive Is finding much favor In the local trade. Shipments were sold quickly at 60c pound. Hothouse tomatoes are In most nominal supply. Hothouse mush rooms are moving well up to 65c lb. There Is a very firm price on ar tichokes Cranberries are moving very slowly at ilfl-20 barrel. All citrus fruit prices are un changed; higher priced email stuff to arrive la fit of week. Hothouse rhubarb Is steady with Increased supplies. Sweet potatoes are Just steady, stock not keeping well. California cauliflower Is lower with Indifferent quality. Locals' much the best and highest. Bread dates are finding a fair sale around 18-20c pound. 1). S. RUBBER BUYS TWO COMPETITORS Detroit. Mich.

Trade was very light and j Winning reported a good export demand. Corn was unsettled but ra t her s tead y w it h w he a c . The trade paid little attention to the WUkersham report.

Provisions were steady to higher, lard advancing. Chicago UP) Unfavorable weather reports from Argentina, India and domestic winter crop territory led to early upturns Wednesday In irrains.

Starting unchanged to 5-8 cent higher, wheat alter ward held near the Initial figures. Corn oiiened unchanged to i cent up. and continued firm. DRY REPORT TO HELP HOPS As ft nhole the Wiclcersham re port looks pretty favorable to the hop industry and I believe will have a tendency to stiffen the mar ket somewhat," was the comment of ex-Mnyor T. A. Llvesley a:id promi nent local hop man who, wlui o:h er hop men, has been awaiting anxiously the report to see its tenor ati to its effect on general condj tlons In the industry. "An analysis of the report, I be lieve will Indicate that the com mittee as a whole believes that condition would be materially Im proved by modification. Even those. as I understand It, who are opposed to immediate modification, believe that after a certain period If condi tions do not Improve with further trial that modification will be the only method of bringing about an improvement. That is tantamount to an admission that conditions now are bad enough to warrant modification, providing the mem bers did not feel there was a dossI- bllity of Improvement In a reason able length of time. Those who have watched the situation are ex tremely doubtful of Improvement but rather Incline to the feeiing that as time goes on conditions will get worse Instead of Improve unless a radical change Is made. BOWLES DEFENSE ASKS EXAMINATION Continued from page H stabbed and beaten by an unidentl fled man. It was the second at tack on the woman. Lat month, she said, she was beaten by two men who threatened her life if she testified In the case. The defense based its move on the contention reports of the in juries suffered by Mrs. Howard in the two attacks "have been hlehly exaggerated'' and that no "lnde pendent' physicians have been al lowed to examine her. Hospital reports indicated the presence of a narcotic In the wo man's blood. She was quoted as hftWng said her attacker plunged A nypcxiei-mic needle In her arm. Collier's petition (.aid: "We can not accept the unique theorv that some person armed himself with a bludgeon, a dirk and a hvpodermic needle and attacked her in her home, first striking her on the head with a club, then stabbing her in the breast, and then injecting vast quantities of narcotics In her arm.

Sheriffs, Police Chiefs And Prosecutors Believe Dry Law Unenforceable Stattlo (UP) Shei-iffr, police chiefs and prosecuting aitorneyj in four states of the Pacific northwest believe the tfrv law in unenforceable, and that the public sentiment is strongly agaimt prohibition. This mas neakd here wtaneuay wnen the Norihtte&t Police Journal leased results of a poll conducted In towns and cities of wasnington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The vote resulted In an opposite Tlew- i point from the wicker.-diam com mission's report which criticized county and city officers for the failure or tne dry law w iuncuon In many localities Approximately 9 out of every 10 sheriffs, police chiefs and prosecut ors In the four states expressed re sentment at the commission's criti cism, declared that the law cannot be enforced, and said that public ntlmrnt in the northwest is against prohibition. Questlonaires were mailed to ev ery prosecutor, police chief and sheriff in the four slates. Approxi mately 80 per cent have replied and returns continued to be received. Less than 10 per cent of the offi cials said they believed the dry law could be enforced In their com munities, and the majority express ed themselves In fuvor ol repeal of the 18th amendment, declaring that there was no ground for modifica tion and that government control similar to that employed In British Columbia would be the best solution. A surprising result of the poll was the statement from officials In ru ral districts, where prohibition is supposed to be strongest, that the communities are "dripping wet" and that public sentiment demands a "hands-off ' attitude from otficcrs wherj liquor Is concerned. Sixty-live per cent of tlie officials declared that prohibition had done more to increase crime and Juvenile dt UnquMicy than any other factor. Montana, the only "wet" state In the group, proved to be no wetter than Idaho and Washington, cording to the comparative opinions of the ofliclals upon whom the bur den of prohibition enforcement rests.

INDICTMENT GF BOWLES STANDS Portland (IP) Another barrier to the trial of Nelson C. Bowles and Irma G. Loucks has been removed by the denial by Circuit Judge Elk wall of defense motions to quash the Indictment charging them with the first degree murder of Mrs. Le one C. Bowles. The defense, through John A. Collier of the legal staff, announced definitely that no demurrer to the Indictment will be filed and that his clients very likely will enter pleas of not guilty when they ap pear In court ttiday at 3 p.m. Judge Elk walls sustaining of tnc murder Indictment came Tuesday afternoon following arguments on the motion that lasted nearly three days. The court ruled on all five causes offered by the defense why the in dictment should be set aside. Judne EUcwall saii on the first ground, that he believed It quite conclusive that Vincent Thorns did not appear before the grand Jury before Jan uary 2, as charged by the defense; that the second and third grounds could be disposed of since the state was wining to delete the notation "at their own request" on the in dictment In connection with the ap pearance of Dr. Paul B. Cooper, W. H. Cullers and R. D. Shelley before the grand Jury, and that there was no evidence sustaining the fourth point that persons other than those legally entitled to be there were be fore the Jury. On the fifth point, the court said if any unsworn statements were read before the grand jury that the law indicated i t would not be pro per to indorse on the Indictment, the names of persons responsible for the statements, as those persons were not witnesses." Attorneys for Bowles and the girl announced Wednesday no de murrer will be filed to the murder Indictment. A delay of three weeks was gained by filing of motions to quash the Indictments, overruled late Tuesday by Circuit Judge Ek- wall. Bowles and Miss Loucks will en ter pleas at 2 p. m. Friday. John Collier of the defense said Wed nesday he expects them to plead not guilty. The time for filing for a change of venue would logically follow the entering of picas, but the de fense has not discussed this point. 4-H SEWING CLUB FOR TURNER SCHOOL Turner A Four-H sewing club was organized Friday In the Turner grade school under the local leader ship of Mrs. John R.

According to preliminary calcula tions, the Dow-Jones Con indus trial average declined 1 2i point. and tlie railroad average advanced 1.23 points to 105 94. Sales for Hie session totaled 1,- 407.515 shares as compared ftlth 1, 3"i0.2t;o shares Tuesday. Prices In the main body of stocks fluctuated narrowly. A firm opening was followed by a renewal of sell ing In leading shares, which con tinued until near the ciose. jusi before the final gong, a better tone developed and part of the early losses were recovered. Selling operations were prevented from gaining headway by heavy buying of Auburn, which ran up a half dozen points at the expense of an overcrowded short interest. Gains of a fraction to more than two points were uuide by the prin cipal rails. Aside from the uprush in Auburn, there was little feature to the trad ing. MEIER MEASURES FAIL TO APPEAR (Continued from pab'e 1) er bracketing and other dpsignat ir.g marks the new matter con tained therein, or the subject mat ter to be deleted from the existing statute. It was Immediately rushed back to the governor's office to be redrawn in an endeavor to have it ready for the legisUitive commit tee's scrutiny and introduction at tlie afternoon session. When the governor's bills for creating a power commission and otherwise enacting his power poli cies will bo ready to drop in the hopper Representative Lawrence was unable to say. There was every expectation all through Tuesday and well into the evening that the grange power dis trict bill, upon which a dozen or more attorneys and legislators have been concentrating their attention for the past month, would be ready Wednesday morning. Its failure to put In an appear ance led to the dLscovery that it is still not In shape satisfactory to ail of the factions Interested In and seeking to sponsor It, and a crew of constitutional lawyers, supple mented by one or two members was busy redrafting the measure for the 'stoenth time Wednesday. They professed a hope that they might have It In accepUble shape by Thursday morning. The latest defects in the bill were uncovered at a conference In the executive offices Tuesday evening attended by the governor, members of the grange legislative committee, "consulting" attorneys and mem bers of the house and senate who have ambitions to be godfathers to the measure. Meagre reports of the session drifting out from the sanctum In dicate It was a stormy session In which the legal experts clashed, and Jealousies noised their way up through the tranquil surface of harmony thinly veiled. Senator Joe Bailey's critical an alysis of the technical form and legal content, and his flat declar ation that It was clearly unconsti tutional in some respects is alleged ly responsible for the decision to redraft it. Bailey Is understood to have is sued the ultimatum that while he is wholly in sympathy with the general terms and aims or the bill he docs not intend to slnnd idly by and see it mutilated and thrown into extended controversy In the courts and finally cast aside by its own irresularilics. Too many "constitutional law yers" seems to be chielly respons ible for the stormy seas the grange bill Is encountering. Incidentally, this same bill Is also causing no little rift in the harmony which hovered over the public own ership ramp during the operluir days of the session. The group now .hows indications of being much di vided, with some of the champions jof the cause exhibiting symptoms or peeve toward and suspicion of their cohorts. Who actually Is to father the grnnre bill when It droiw Is still Mr. Farmer AND YOUR CITY !ar '-'y a matter of speculation. Ri valry for the honor Is keen It Is rcil .ting It st-If in the endeavors of certain bt-nale and house members to t;a:n public recognition as sixikes. man for the administration In their respective houses. Ecnntor Sam Brown, who expect ed to function for Governor Meier, as the administrative mouthpiece in the senate, has been somewhat overshadowed by the enU-rurusa alms t liat direction of 8eiiut-r liurke. and Brown's reported oiler at Tuesday night's conference to punsur the grange till Is said to have fanned that flame Just a little brighter. Over in the house Representative Gill Is said to be wondering how Lawrence giabbed off the honor of being the governor s agent. Chief interest about the legisla tive halls Wednesday centered in the public hearing scheduled for evening on the bill to close th Rogue river to commercial fish ing. Since the openmg day th lobby lias been swarming with lob byists for the sportsmen's organi zations ail over the state, and as the time for the hearing by the joint game committee draws near the faces or recognized lobbyists for the commercial fishing inter ests are In evidence. It Is entirely possible that the committee may Iiave to comman der the house chamber to accomo date the crowd attending the hear ing, which opens at 8 o'clock. The senate killed by indefinite postpone me nt, Senator Woodwards bill which would repeal the require ment that one of the four district Judws in Multnomah county sit ns a committing magistrate. This was done by unanimous adoption of an adverse report of the Judiciary com- mil tee. Tnc committee reported favorably on Woodwards bill, which would extend the Jurisdiction of the dis trict courts to caves Involving as huh as $1000 in claims. The present limit is $f00. Defending his bill to remove the committing magistrate rcqulroinu-nt, Wc .tlv.ard said that two Judges wou'd be enough where four sit ut the present time, and that "It Is the euiiom of the court to elect one of its num!cr as a poo-bah. If he hop , prns to be on the links the wheels of justice arc on flat tires until he n turns. Senators Moscr and Crawford said that Woodward was in error, and that if the committing magistrate happened to be away, one of tlie other three takes care of criminal cases. Senator Bailey also oppowd the bill, and Senator Bennett de fended it. Two of Senator Strayer'a bills were p&ssrd by the senate. One was an amendment providing that if the value of the property of an estate, exclusive of liens and encumbrances, is less than $J50 the court may order sale of the property without requir ing the estate to go to the usual ex pense of publication. The other bill was a technical amendment relative to citations. Terms of court In Lincoln county are advanced from Wednesday to Tuesday under H. Ii.
