PORTLAND. Jan. 31.-One reason

Included I'm the long list of chStom-
crs of the san Francisco hootleSging
ring which is now under investtga-

Mr. Evans and Special Agent Ge-
ron have been checking up the dis
trict court jury with the liquor ring ;
customer" list and they have found
that, many of the jurors have been
getting their regular supply Of liquor
from the south for several months
past.
1 1T is evident that II man who is

vict n Portland bootlesger who is be-

terday.
For instance. in u case within the
past two weeks where we had an
open-and-shut case against a notori-
Gus bootlegged and had the complete
evidence to. silOstantiate our prosecu-
I ton. the jury voted u verdict for ac'
quittal after celebrating but shori
time. An examination of these ju'
rors discloses the fact that two OF
/ their number were regular patrons OF
the San Francisco ring.
This seems hardly fair with the
/ district attorneys office and the pub
/ lie in general when "A man will swear
/ on oath that he is not prejudtced
/ against the prohibition law and gives
his oath that he will convict il the
/ evidence warrants it. when he knows
i'm his own heart that he opposes the
/ prohibition law. as is evidenced by
/ his own actions in securing liquor by
/ Illegal methods"
The district attorneys office has
/ checked off all the names Of the san
/ Francisco liquor rings customer list
with the avowcd determination TO see
( that no more of these customers sit
on district court juries u the trial OF
bootlesging cases.
because of what he considers the
rank injusticc To the public because
Of this alleged deception and hNpoc-
risy. Mr.. Evans said he might be i'm
PEELED to take some further action in
such cases. He said that he recalled
+ two particular Instances where ju-
rors have announced before II boot
logging trial that they would gladly
convict il they thought the evidence
sufficient. only to go to tn" jury
room and announce detrmincdly that

lie funds through an increase IN interest
rates was issued by the federal reserve
board yesterday when Gov. W. p. G.

urging them TO oppose any movement Tor
increased interest on deposits
The federal reserve board has watched
with interest and some apprehension the
movement III New York by a number OF
banks for payment Of higher interest on
deposits The effort to increase rates n
New York las been reflected IN other
localities, and a general increase would
disturb the financial situation and put
difficulties in the way of floating govern

1t is felt in Washington that there are
many other dangers in the situation and
that the money rate would be made gen
orally higher if the banks increased IN
terest payments ON deposits. for this
reason reserve board and other officials
are prepared to bring all OF the ln1iuence
possible TO bear to get the trust companies
to bring their rates down to the per cent
level Of the national and other banks and
| to discourage efforts of the banks to meet

GREAT VALUE OF ATHLETICS
nent Importance in Keeping SOL
der in Condition.

That the value of athletics in i'm
proving mental and physical condi-
tons Of all men from the standpoint
of military service is appreciated by
English as we'll as United States gov
eminent officials is shown by the fol-
lowing statement by Brig. Gen. Will
dred \. White after several years OF
observation on the western front:
when the athlete has gone to the
front his place in athletic ranks
should be Immediately filled. Sport
Is the foundation for health, and too
much emphasis cannot be laid upon
it's benefits and necessity. Athletics
are of paramount Importance In
keeping the soldier At, and the same
is true Of the man who must be pre-
pared TO become a soldier.
"The soldierly qualities developed
are many. Discipline is encouraged,
inasmuch as discipline Is the very es-
scncc of team play. Quickness of de-
cision and speed and agility are not
to be overlooked, and what cricket
ana football do for the Englishman
, baseball and track athletics do for
the American"
