QUITS" CRIMINAL CAREER Joe Bell, Once Top-Jiotcher In Burglar)-, Working In Portland. After trying his luck at "second-story" burglaries for a good many years, and having succeeded m getting himself con fined in three penitentiaries for terms ag gregating 19 years, Joe Bell, aged 67, has turned up in Portland, and is making an honest living piling and splitting wood. Bell was once a pretty well-known criminal, and tan hardly enter a city now without being "spotted" by the de tectives. Then comes a trip to police headquarters and an interview with the f ' f i' v X r! $ : - ft I 1 i i ' ' 7 - ' -i jig " Joe Bell. t ....4 FIGHT OVER ESTATE Creditors of William M. Ayers File Petitions. CLAIMS ARE CONFLICTING Chief. That is what happened to "Jos" yesterday. He was walking along tha street when he was seen by Acting De tective Price, who took him down to see the "old man." After a talk with Chief Gritzmacher. Bell was released. He is to report twice a week at headquarters and give an ac count of himself. He was overjoyed when released, and promised to continue to earn an honest living. That is all that he wants now, he says. 'I've got all the prison life I care for.' said Bell, alias Baldy, alias Shorty, to Chief Gritzmacher. "and I promise you I'll be good if you'll let me go. I'll make my living honestly now. by carrying and splitting wood and working hard. No more crime for me, for I'm nearing the end of the Journey, and I've found that It don't pay to be crooked. Joe Bell's an honest workingman now." Bell was virtually reared in crime. He "got off on the wrong foot" early In life and at the age-of 14 years entered an English penitentiary for "second-story" burglary and served five years. When he got out, he came to this country and engaged in crime. He was "landed" twice for burglary, and served a term of five years in 6an Quentln and another of nine years in Folsom penitentiaries. He is a little, bald-headed old man now, and declares he has hut one desire to be honest and really to earn his living by hard work. I HEARD IN THE ROTUNDAS U 7V STRANGE feature of most 'vT'est ern lakes Is that they seem to be bottomless." said Al G. Florence, a trav eling salesman, at the Oregon Hotel, last night. "This is especially noticeable in Washington state. If you ask a native living on tha shores of Sulphur Lake, and various others, he will always say that there is no bottom to the lake. "I heard a good story of Sulphur Lake, which gives one an ldea-of how deep the lake really is. It is told of two new ar rivals from New York state, who were noted swimmers and divers. " "How deep is Sulphur Lake?' they asked a native of the surrounding section. " 'It has no bottom.' was the reply. "One of the new arrivals then asserted that he was going to dive and find the bottom, as he did not believe it extra deep. "He dived from a boat and never came up. For two weeks a search was made for his remains, and his brother was heartbroken. "At the end of two weeks he received the following telegram from his brother, who sent it from Sydney, Australia: " 'Bill, send my clothes at once by ex press. I have Just come out at this point and have nothing but a bathing suit.' " gg F I had the making of any laws I would make it a $25,000 penalty for any person carrying a revolver." said E. A. M earns, salesman for a big New Tork book concern, at the Portland Hotel, last night. "Back in New Tork state ft Is a penitentiary offense, and it should be the same In every other state. "One seldom picks up a newspaper that has not several accounts of shooting af frays, most of the guns being In the hand of booze-ftghters or 'dope fiends.' If the penalty were made so heavy that carrying of guns could no longer be done with practical immunity, the murder rec ord of the United States would be small. "I have been all over the United States, and have been in some ticklish places! but t have nevr found 1t necessary even to consider carrying a gun." - CHILD REST'S PARADE PHOTOS. UellshUul Kiser Imcerlal HotaL Contest In Conrts Appears to Hinge on Dispute as to Legality of Dead Bookmaker's Marriage. Petitions are "accumulating in the county court asking that an adminis trator be appointed as early as pos sible for the estate of "William M. Ayers, who was killed by a streetcar In Seattle last Monday. , The estate is valued at about 1100, 000. though one petition places It at $40.1100. Three petitions have been filed by creditors, two of them asking different administrators. Henry T. Hudson filed the first pe tition, asking that he be appointed administrator because he had known Ayers since boyhood. He also avers that he has knowledge of the legal heirs of the estate and their where abouts. W. J. Van Schuyver A Company, Ashley & Rumelin- and P. L. Willis presented a petition asking that C. E. Rumelin' be appointed administrator. Later in the afternoon William Fra zier filed a petition also asking Mr. Rumelin's appointment as adminis trator. The amounts sought by the petition ers are: Ashley A Rumelin, $2227; P. L. Wills, $S00; W. J. Van Schuyver & Company. $208: William Frazler. $940. The haste used in presenting the pe titions by the creditors indicates that complications in the settlement of the estate are about to arise, as the de ceased died intestate and little is known of his relatives. No date has been set as yet for a hearing. The entire matter seems to hang on the relations that existed between Ayers d the woman who for- many years he had held out to the world as his wife. Several of the creditors of the dead bookmaker assert that Ayers and his supposed wife were never legally married. ' The funeral of Ayers was held from Holman's undertaking parlors at 3 o'clock yesterday . afternoon. Inter ment was at Rivervlew Cemetery. The pallbearers were Nate 'Solomon, Jack C'offman, Joseph Rcstng, Count Senofski, Al Gilbert and Louis Zim merman. A number of handsome floral pieces were placed on the coffin.

There are almost as many ways of treating rbomatism as there are doctors. Most of these treatments are directed at the eymptoms and are considered roo cessfol if they relieve the pain and stiff ness But the blood hae not been purifi ed and the rhenmatwm is sure to retoxn, especially after a season of exposure to cold and dampness. The patient goes through this experience year after yea and begins to think that permanent re lief is impoaalbio. Tbe only way to treat rhvr"tFrn is through the blood. This is Che method of Dr. Williams.' Pink Pills they not only cleanse the blood of the imparities which cause the disease bnt build tip and restore the broken-down system. Mr. John Riley of Cazenovia, N. T., says: "In my work as a blacksmith, I am exposed a great deal to changes of temperature. Some time ago I noticed that my health was breaking down. The symptoms were general physical weakness, loss of appetite and nervous ness. "It was. evident that my blood was weak and impure. I became no better as time went on and finally this condi tion of my blood, with the constant ex posure, brought on rheumatism. It was of the inflammatory kind and was very painful in the joints, especially of the feet and wrist. Many days I could hardly walk and suffered intense pain. I took to my bed several times for a day or so and once for six weeks. "A fellow blacksmith advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and as I had gained no help from other treat ments, I decided to give them a trial. 'Within a reasonable time I noticed that I was getting better and in a few weeks I was cured. That the cure is perma nent is shown by my not having lost a day at my trade since then. I can truthfully say that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills put me on my feet again." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cored anaemia, after-effects of the grip and fevers, general debility and sick head aches, dizziness, nervous prostration, even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or- sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 60 cents per box, six boxes for $3.60, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, i.

It disproves every accusation that has been made to the effect that this coal will not burn. IT WILL BURN! IT BURNS FAR BET TER THAN DRY FIR WOOD, TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT "GREEN FIR SLABS." ONE AND A HALF TONS. OF COAL were used in this test as against THREE CORDS OF FIR WOOD. The coal was used in connection with a boiler producing ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY HORSEPOWER, while the wood was used with a ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY HORSEPOWER BOILER. 'The coal was burned in a WOOD GRATE, another. tremendous dis advantage. Every minute, during a TEST LASTING SIX HOURS, the steam gauge showed that the COAL PRODUCED AN AVERAGE OF FIFTEEN POUNDS MORE STEAM PRESSURE THAN THE WOOD, EVEN UNDER THE DISADVANTAGES.
