POOR QUALITY
CABBAGE FLOODS
PRODUCE MART
Portland. May 23 (U Market for
butter continues to reflect more or
less weakness not only locally but
along the coast egnerally. Prices
re unchanged.
Market for eggs remains more or
less weak as a result of continued
shading of prices by unattached
producers.
Demand for medium weight hens
Is now the best along the wholesale
way with buyers offering an ad
vance for these while quoting the
heavy stuff lower. Roosters con
tinue down to a nickel.
Demand for strawberries Is strong
here. Arrivals of Oregon and other
northwest berries have been de
creased with almost general show
ers. Prices on California are firm,
er to higher as a result.
Market is overflowing with cab
bage of very inferior quality m-ith
very little really worth while stuff.
This applies to late varieties. The
local early stuff is moving out well
but forms only a very small per
cent of the trade.
Trade Is very favorabe to peas
out of The Dalles section and a
sprinkling of home grown. Callf
ornlan are not very good.
Trade in lambs Is still more or
less of slow character for anything
that Is not of tiptop quality. Veal
are Just about steady for tops and
on (or others. Hogs are nominally
unchanged. Demand for beef re
maining good.
California green beans of fair
quality around 17 cents pound. Can
taloupes are again lower priced
with Jumbo down to $4.90. Mexican
peppers continue in heavy supply,
selling seldom above 10 cents.
RECORDS SHOW
BIG INCREASE
IN DIVORCES
Reno. Nev., (LP) Nevada's act In
liberalizing residential requirements
for divorce seekers resulted In a tre.
menodus Increase In filings, It was
disclosed today by a review of re
cords for the first year the "six
weeks' divorce" law was effective.
The so-called "easy divorce" law
went on the statute books May 1.
1931, and in the 12 months since,
approximately 6,200 suits have been
filed.
Comparison with a similar period
for the preceeding year Is miposMole
because court hou.se records are not
kept on a May to May basis end
arc not segregated by months. An
Idea of the Increase may be gained,
however, by a comparison with 1930,
the last full year period during
which the residential requirement
was three months.
In 1930, with three months as the
minimum time of residence, Washoe
County, of which Reno Is the princi
pal population center, granted 2,118
divorces less than half the number
filed under the six weeks' residential
requirement for the year starting
May 1, 1931.
Marriage, always a profitable Reno
sideline, held lis own from May,
1931, to May, 1932, but dropped far
behind In percentage of increase as
compared to divorces.

until late that I. H. Fetty. another
of the group, and Dr. Adams were
brothers-in-law.
Robinson gave September 23,
1930, as the late on which Keller
arrived in Portland to take a po
sition with the Capital Underwrit
ers. The state introduced a certified
copy of the articles of incorpora
tion of the Empire Holding com
pany, signed by George Robinson,
W. R. Adams, and Nelson Frost,
filed on October 6, 1930. Robinson
stated that the first actual meet
ing was held October 15, 1930, In
the office of Stockman. The wit
ness further related how he. Rob
inson, was named president. Nelson
Frost, vice-president and Adams as
secretary, and said that no elec
tion was held but that Keller simply
told him to act as president and to
hold the olflce until a suitable man
was named.
Robinson was asked by Keller on
October 16 to sign a contract in the
presence of Keller and Stockman,
the contracts providing for a speci
fic salary for Fetty, Stockman and
Judge O. P Coshow. The amount
for Stockman, Robinson said, was
$7500 for the first and second years,
each, for $10,000 for the third year.
and for $12,000 annually for the
fourth to the tonth year. Inclusive.
The witness said he diS not wish to
sign the contract as he had only
a temporary appointment as presi
dent of the company, but Keller
told rum the contracts were simply
a protective measure to guard those
doing the Initial work in the for
mation of the company and to pre
vent tnem from being ousted.
Robinson stated he f irther told
Keller that salaries could not be
paid out of stock sales and that In
reply Keller sold no salaries would
be paid until subsidiaries of the
holding company were organised.
Under further questioning, Rob
inson said that he owned, no stock
In the Empire Holding company
until late in December, 1930, when
he subscribed $20,000 for 200 shares
but that he never paid anything on
his subscription.
After Robinson's stating that the
executive committee of the organi
zation consisted of Stockman. Fct
ty, Adams and Coshow, the state
introduced the minutes of execu
tive committee meetings but they
were denied on protest by the de
fense counsel that they were not
properly Identified.
Robinson said that he became A
salesman for the holding company
January 3, 1931. When the organi
zation received notice from the stat:
corporation department with refer
ence to their suspension of permit.
in the fall of 1931, the witness said
he objected to stockman that his
contract should be cancelled, but
that this was not done.
Under cross examination bv Dex
ter Rice, defense council, the wit
ness said he had been a stock
salesman for seven and a half years.
and that he believed 'the Empire
holding company was a good Idea
and a good plan and that he ex
pected to be connected with it
Stockman became a member of the
company, Robinson said, after Kel
ler had remarked to him that It
would be a good Idea to have an
authority on organization In the
group, Robinson said that Keller
had successfully organized life, fire
and casualty insurance companies
in Salt Lake Citv and that these
companies were still operating.
Robinson claimed he did net
know he was a director of the com
pany, and that after the election
of Coshow as presdent he worked
as a sarsman.
Robinson further said that Keller
had said salaries would not be paid
until subsidiaries were formed but
that Stockman should be paid for
legal services.
Referring to signing some of the
documents contained In the minute
book. Robinson said he had absolute
confidence in his associates and that
he might possibly have signed rec
ords without reading them.
It was expected his cross examin
ation would continue during the af
ternoon. Man Held Guilty of

The "dress" in which Oregon land
products go to market will be em
phasized at the 1932 Oregon state
fair, said director Max Oehlhar.
'Purpose of the fair more than

growing and marketing methods for
Oregon farmers," s?id Oehlhar. "To
that end will be established a di
vision known as the "land products
show.
"This will be conducted with the
purpose of promoting standardiza
tion of Oregon land products, to
make them most acceptable to buy
ers in the world's markets. Sales
manship, more than production, will
be. the underlying keynote. Agricul
tural merchandise of high Quality
when properly graded and attract

"Some of the "sub-shows" will
stress attractive packaging and lab

as much as quality. Others will em

products must be good and thev
must be alike, thut Is. standardized."
