Women Here Fiddle While
Berries Rot; Expert Gives
Vices On Future Of Fruit

Hundreds of tons of rapidly rip
ening Strawberries in the patches
near Salem; unprepared growers
frantically endeavoring to prepare
their crops for market; ruffled
haired cannerymen striving vain
ly to clear the ripened fruit from
process rooms, that they may save
the incoming loads from rotting in
the wagons; canneries operated at
half capacity because of a labor
shortage.
Hundreds of Salem women at
home twiddling thumbs which
might be hulling berries.
While Rome, so to speak, sizzles
merrily.
Such was the drab picture
drawn by three local cannery
managers who declared this after
noon that, unless Salem women
come to their assistance imme-
diately, tons of the strawberries
will quickly turn to rot, and that
the community will consequently
be out thousands of dollars.
25 Per Cent May Spoil.
William Allen, manager of Hunt
Brothers plant, estimated today
that unless the present labor force
is augmented materially, rs per
cent of the 1000 tons of straw
berries tributary to Salem will
later be classified as "spoilage."
Women workers are needed. Not
a score, nor few score-but hun
dreds.
mo matter how good a market
may be developed, the canneries
are helpless unless labor is avail
able" Fred Kurtz, manager of the
Kurtz cannery, declared today. At
present, he said. there are but one
or two per cent of the berries
spelling, but with the rush due the
latter part of the week, this per-
centage will become increasingly
large unless the women respond.
Only 80 Tons Daily.

Man Seeks
Solace In
Pool Hall

Charging that his wife nagged
him until he sought peace and
quiet in a pool hall, Rowley Met
salt filed his answer to the di-
vorce complaint of Evelyn Metcalf
this morning in the circuit court.
The complaint of the wife
charges Metcalf with domineer-
ing and that on different Ucca-
sions he deserted her. The ans
wer states that Metcalf enlisted
in the army in 1917 because his
wife continued to nag him and
that once she had left him and
went down to southern Oregon
to live with her parents, coming
back to hi monty "to get what she
could out of him"
The couple were married IN
1915 in Salem when they were 10
and 10 years old, respectively.
Divorce complaint was also fill
ed by Emma L. Wilson against
her husband Arthur Wilson,
charging cruel and inhuman
treatment and failure to provide
food. The complaint states that
the plaintiff was 64 years old at
the time of the marriage in 1913
Desertion was charged in the
complaint of Eva A. Noslier
against Cuba S. Nosker and the
resumption of her maiden name
was asked from the court. The
couple was married IN Albscy in
1917.

are being handled here daily,
while at least SO to 60 tons should
be sealed in the cans every "a
hours.
With the prune crop giving evil
dence of bringing but a small re-
turn, fruit experts claim that the
situation is at present serious and
that the matter of saving the
strawberries is one of Importance
to the community as whole.
I'VE have been the victims of
peculiar, unforeseen circum-
stances" one fruit authority
pointed out this afternoon. Never
in my many years in this work
have l seen a similar situation. A
sort of shiftlessness, an ineffici-
ency, for which no one is really
responsible, seems apparent in ev-
cry department of the fruit indus
try.
All Is Unsettled.
"At no time during the last few
days have growers known where
they have stood, or realized what
they we're to do in the immediate
future. The Gamers have been
similarly circumstanced. One can
merry is at present really doing its
March work now. Cherries and
loganberries are soon to be on the
market, yet no preparations have
been made to secure labor to take
care of these crops. And put this
down: it is highly important to
the community that these crops be
efficiently handled.
Many men connected with the
industry even failed to consult
their bankers on matters which
necessarily must be considered.
The strawberry crop was ripe be-
fore they knew it:-many tons will
spoil now, regardless OF what is
done in an effort to prevent it,"
That growers and Gamers
should make every effort to work
out some means of overcoming the
difficulties which confront them,
was his suggestion.

Man Answering Description Of Fugitive
Orders Breakfast at Castle Rock Restaurant
But Becomes Frightened and Takes To
Brush Before Meal Is Served

Castle Rock. Wash, June IA
A man, believed to be Roy Gard
ner, is thought to be surrounded
at "the rock" a half mile south
of here this morning. Twenty-Five
men are in the posse that is ready
to close in on the man..
The man, who has gold teeth
and otherwise answers the descrip-
tion of Gardner, appeared at the
Royal restaurant here at 6 o'clock
this morning. He ordered meal,
but before he ate it he became
frightened when an officer walked
in front Of the restaurant several
times. He made a hasty exit and
Mrs. Williamson, an employe in
the restaurant, watched him go
south and notified officers. Sheriff
J. w. Hoggatt Of Cowlitz county
is in charge of the posse at "the
rock"
Ordered Breakfast.
The suspect first appeared hero
at $3.50 o'clock this morning. He
met Henry Wend on the outskirts
of town and asked where he could
get something to eat. Mr.. wend
directed the man to the Royal res
taurant.
At $40 o'clock theo man en-
tered the restaurant and ordered
"a bowl OF mush and ham and"
Mrs. H. Williamson. wife OF the
proprietor Of the Royal, took the
order.
While the breakfast was pre-
pared Mr.. Wend, who had become
suspicious OF the stranger. walked
past the restaurant to see IL the
man had entered the place. Seeing
him, Mr.. Wend stepped close to
the window to obtain a clearer
view of the suspect.
Flees Without Eating.
The stranger waited until Wend
had left the window, then went to
the door and looking first one
way and then another, bolted
through the door, ran south and
lodged behind "the rock" from
where the town takes its name.
Sheriff j. w. Hoggatt was noti-
fled and a posse of rs men imme-
diately surrounded the district in
which the suspected fugitive is be-
lieved TO have taken refuge.
Sure It Was Gardner.
A force OF special agents OF the
railway companies was rushed
here from Kelso and Immediately
took part in the search.
There is no doubt in my mind
that the stranger in my place of
hIsiness this morning was Card
ner," said II. Williamson, who con-
ducts the Royal restaurant.
HE answers the description Of
the bandit as well as could be sx-
pected after several days OF rough
ing it, following his escape from
the two guards on the train near
this place last Saturday. The fell
low had a growth Of beard aboat
three Or four days old, wore a blue
serge coat, slouch dark hat and
corded shirt. His collar was miss
ing"
The man also is said to have
gold filled teeth, which tallies
with the description of Gardner.
The country in which the sus-
pect hid is rough and covered
with brush. II borders on the dis
trict in which Harry Tracy fled to
elude posses following his escape
