F. M, CRONKHITE,
45-47 Front Street, Portland, Oregon
Washington, D. C The trail of the
government's pursuit of illegal profi
teers on war contracts Wednesday led
to the arrest in New York of Lieuten
ant James C. Staley, a reserve army
officer, on a charge of accepting money
from the Truefit Raincoat company, of
New York, for the contract, which he
promised to procure.
After being arrested, Lieutenant
Staley made a complete confession of
his part in the transaction, department
of Justice officials said, and gave much
valuable information, which may lead
to the 'detection of other cases of
fraud. He will be tried by court martial.
The arrest was made by
the department of Justice, who had
followed the officer during his inspec
tion of the plant of the raincoat com
pany, whose proprietors acted in co
operation with the government to de
tect the fraud.
The secret agents arrested Staley
immediately after he was said to have
received a sum of money from Joshua
Rosenthal and Louis Wener, proprie
tors of the plant.
It was charged that he had told
them he would expect more money as
soon as they got the contracts which
they sought for 50,000 raincoats cost
ing nearly $250,000,
This was the first arrest of an army

There is no occasion for alarm on

Word from the headquarters of the
Western traffic committee at Chicago,

announced will seriously affect the
producer or manufacturer whose goods
find a market in distant sections of the

Holstein Calf Brings $10,000,

when it will become necessary to re
plenish the class 1 reservoir.
A bill by Senator France, of Mary
land, to extend the draft to men from
18 to 45 is now before the senate mili
tary committee, and at a hearing on it
last Saturday, Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder gave it as his opinion
that extension of the draft ages would
be necessary,
All previous estimates of the depart
ment relating to man power have been
based solely upon the men in class 1.
General Crowder stated specifically in
his report on the first draft that it
would be the policy of his department
to refrain from touching
classes.
The present emergency, however,
with its resultant demands for the
speedy organization of forces far in
excess of the number contemplated,
have upset these decisions.
Officials here have always declared
that the difference between members
of class 1 and class 2, from the view
point of eligibility for service, was too
minute to be seriously considered
