Hubbard Trust
Breaker Twice
Under Arrest

Portland, Or, July S.-Fred
Wright was arrested twice Thurs
day afternoon at Fifth and Yam
hill streets. The first time he was
charged with using unclean berry
boxes and offering unfit produce
for sale. Within an hour from the
time he was released on bail he
was back on his stand at the mar
ket haranguing the crowd on the
evils of the police department and
the rules Of the public market,
and was arrested a second time by
Patrolman Tussi ON charge of
disorderly conduct.
Wright has strawberry ranch
at Hubbard and few weeks ago
created a near riot in the Portland
market by promising to offer ber-
ries by the carload at 95 cents a
crate. Thursday he came to town
with the last picking from his
ranch, again ready to break the
trust he says rules on Yamhill
street. But Market Master East
man proclaimed the berries unfit
for sale.
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans signed the
complaint that the berries were
packed in unclean boxes. Wright
admitted at the police station that
the berries were overripe, but
claimed the privilege of selling
them for vinegar.
After being released the second
time on $25 bail, Wright said the
war is not over, for he has logan
berry ranch just coming in. He
came to town to get financial
backing for cannery at Hubbard,
but in the event this cannot be
started soon enough to handle the
present crop. Wright says the
Hubbard growers will give the
Portland consumers a treat in
the way of low prices for the fruit.

Had Confidence
The substance Of the defend
ants testimony. was similar to
that of other witnesses examin-
ed before him. He stated that thru
information Of the interior de-
partment at Washington, Mr..
Byron was able to locate people
on the Hyde Benson lands in the
northwest, and would know the
train on which the papers of re-
linouishments would arrive at the
land office in Roseburg or in Sc
attle. He stated further that after
Byron had talked to R. R. Jones,
a Mr.. Carrier and several other
substantial business men, that his
confidence rose both in the prop
osition and in Byron.

ner of locating people could act
ually be done?" asked Attorney
Shields.

be done. Can I tell why?"

Attorney Winslow's objection
to the Witnesses opinion was
sustained by the court.
/ The witness went on to state
that when certain contracts
which expired on November l.,
1919. were called to his attention

ron.
"Mr. Byron came down to Sa-
lem and we saw every one OF
those whose contracts expired on
that date. And he told them that
their money was ready for them,
or they could extend the time OF
the contract.
"The result of this was an ex-
tension of time of every one OF
those contracts, stated the wit
ness.

the final arguments will be made
in the morning.
