The four were severely reprimanded by authorities yesterday forenoon and given into the custody of their parents. The method of procedure used In taking the cider is simple, say police. The large cannery building Is open and easily ac cessible to the nightly wander ings of daring and thrill-loving youths. The vinegar tank, lo cated under an opening In the roof, afforded tempting oppor tunities to the boys to lower a pall into the several hundred gallons without resorting to bur glary. The four were on the roof, ac cording to officers, when they were apprehended with the small amount In their possession. Yesterday morning they were more or less remorse stricken and seemed to be worried. It Is said that hard cider thieving has been going on in the city spasmodically for some time past, but unUl Saturday night, although careful watch has been kept, none of the per petrators were ever caught. Police say lives were risked wheri the cider was taken, as it was an easy matter to slip from the roof iqto the tank. . Since 1922 there has been no change in the motor vehicle li cense fee schedule In the state and the annual increase In re ceipts from that source haa ave/aged a little over 3640,000 per year over the previous year.

FORMER U. OF W. DEAN BRINGS DIVORCE SUIT By GEORGE BRITT N$A Service Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 24— The Insurgent of insurgents here Is no farmer-labor radical from the middle west, but a son of the conservative old south, Sen ator Coleman L. Bi ease of South Carolina. For nearly forty years he has been mostly “agin the govern ment,” playing a lone wolf game capitalising discontents. Probably no other member of the Senate has been subjected to such slashing and voluminous criticism as was Blease during his two terras as governor, from 1911 to .1915. Yet for every South Carolinian who thinks him the Beelzebub of dema gogues, there is another who phrases his confidence by say ing, "I’d vote for Coley If I saw him steal a sheep." Typical of the man in the statement in his recent maiden speech In the Senate: “1 am proud of the fact that I am the only man from a southern state who is against this league court. I wish every senator would vote for It and let me be the only man to vote ggalnst It.” -Code Blease In the Senate, however, has been so far a man of different technique from Cole Blease ’ in the governor’s chair. In the old days when he Was scandalizing the nation by his qualified defense of lynch ings and by his wholesale par doning of convicts, he was an epitome of violence. He stamp ad sad bellowed, called hls en emies "guttersnipes.'' and of fered to "shoot out” contro versies with them. Hls campaign for the Senate a year ago waa something new. His two opponents in the Demo cratic ’ primary were having a hammer and tongs fight. Blease campaigned mildly and stepped In. J. Ogden Armour, chairman of the board of Armour A Co., meat packers, is reported seriously 111 of indigestion at hla home in Chicago.

Last night on the Salem, high school floor, the locals battled the state cham pionship Salem high five nip and tuck for the 40 minutes of the game. When the final whistle blew, the score was knotted, and an extra period was ordered. Showing the effects of their strenuous, overtime game with Albany on Saturday night, the locals lacked reserve for the final rush, and the Salem quin tet, by using reserves who were fresh, were able to pile up a lead, finishing in front at the end of the overtime game, 25-19. The game was a battle every inch of the way, with the green, local quintet, making vp in fight what they lacked in ex perience. while the Salem out- • fit, with three veterans of last years’ championship five work- Blease already Is one of the “main attractions” of the pres ent Senate, but when visitors ask to have the fire-eater point ed out to them, they usually are (Contlnued On Page Two) surprised.

Long, In discussing the question of small fruits, said there waa a shortage of straw berries, but that the acreage was being greatly Increased and the shortage would possibly soon cease. He also predicted that s prices for strawberries would gradually settle down. He said the Marshall and Ore gon strawberries were the beat for barrelling and that the Clarkson and Ederburg 121 were tha bast for canning. For the fmph frplt mark«! h« recom mended the Gold Dollar. . There Is a great demand for red raspberries for commercial and canning purposes. ' The Cuthbert, he stated, were tha best for these purposes. Red raspberries can be produced more economically In the North west than In any other section of the country, he claimed. He said the state average was one ton to the acre, but that if the grower could not produce at least two tons to the acre he should not grow them. The demand for Blackcaps Is limited and he did not advise any great acreage of this berry. Th« Evergreen blackberry is possibly one of the best opportunities in the small fruit line, he said.
