Amoof the notables listed as Port land's guests today Is Barney Oldfield, loyal Elk and the greatest racing driver in America. He Is ready for the big automobile race meet at the Coun try Club tomorrow and Wednesday. tsarney arrived here yesterday rrom Butte, Mont, where IS. (loo people saw him set new Montana track records July 4 and 5. On the same train with Oldfield came two other famous pilots, who will also compete In the events of the next two days. Lew Helnemann.' who won fame driving the Marmon cars In the Van- derbilt Cup. Elgin and other races. "Wild Bill" Frltsch. a Middle Westerner of note in the speed game, also ac companied the king of dirt track racers. Yesterday afternoon the cars these men will drive in the meet were un loaded. They included a SOO-horse- power Christie, the fastest car In the world; the Prince Henry Bens and a Clno special racer. Tetzlaff Due Today. Portland's field of daring auto drivers will be augmented today with the ar rival from Tacoma of Teddy TetxlafT, champion road race pilot, and several others. Tomorrow everything will be in readiness for the most spectacular feature of the visiting Elks' entertain ment and the first real automobile meet that this city has undertaken. Mile dirt track racing has always been something like shaking dice with death. With such famous starters as Oldfield, Tetslaff. Helnemann. Fritschv Evans, Tower and other Fiat drivers in com petition it becomes nerve-tingling to a degree hardly ever reached in Amer ica. To this city belongs the honor of getting together the greatest col lection of stars for a dirt track meet. Oldfileld has brought with him the fastest car in the world in the famous 300-horsepower Christie front drive freak racer. With this car he did a mile In 65 4-5 seconds over the slow and narrow track at Butte. This car has gone 151 miles an hour on the Daytona Beach straight-away In un official trials, and is one of the speed wonders of creation. It was built by Walter Christie, a millionaire., who spent five years and $100,000 getting the car ready for racing through many experiments and efforts. Speed la Limited. This Is the machine in which Oldfield will attempt each day to lower the world's record for a mile dirt track. Just how near he will come to this he will not predict, though his car can attain greater speed than it is possible to drive it on such a track. Tetslaff,. driving the car in which he lowered the world's record in. the Santa Monica road race,- ran seoond In the Indianapolis sweepstakes and won the Tacoma races, will set out each day to clip a few seconds off the low mark for the mile track. Teddy's fame as a dirt- track driver is not as secure as that of his road race name, and he seeks to establish himself in the top notch class. This will be the first time that he has set out to break circular dirt course records since he came to the front ranks of speed kings. Lew Helnemann will drive the fa- muua r i luvg 111 j it , vuv.u .tin through the noted race -in Germany Siven in honor of the man from whom :t takes his name. This car has turned 110 miles an hour on the Daytona track. "Wild Bill" Frltsch will pilot a Clno special racer In its class and also In the larger car events. This car is new to racing in the West, though it beat uch machines as the Mercer and Case In many events last season. It is con ceded to be the fastest 300-inch car built, and will turn up 85 miles an hour on a straight course. Eight events will be run each day. Including a mile world's record trial each day by both Oldfield and Tetzlaff. It Is a toss up as to which of these jaring drivers will be able to send their giant cars over the course the taster.

The cars, which are entered, have al ready been shipped. "I hope that Oldfield is entered," said Tetzlaff. "I'd like to get a chance to show him what real speed is.

' PEOPLE'S SHOWS ATTRACT Films at Different Theaters Are Pleasing to Crowds. , 'At the People's yesterday a two-reel special entitled "Written in Blood" was shown. The tale is rather psycholog ical In that it deals with a peculiar crime and an unusual method of de tection. The title was derived from the only method which the innocent prisoner had of letting the outside world know of his predicament namely, opening a vein in his arm to procure writing fluid to write a mes sage conveyed by a pigeon to the out side world. The story holds atten tion throughout and tho photography Is flawless. These two revis were sup plemented by a comedy enMtled "Get ting Rich Quick." containing , many a laugh, and an educational feature en titled "The Copper Industry of Spain." The trio sang an appropriate Elks' song which was applauded. . Oulda's . fascinating, novel, "Under Two Flags," having been filmed in masterly manner in two special reels, the Star secured the exclusive first ru i for Portia ad and. put It on. as a fea ture that would Interest the general public, as well as the visiting Elks. The great pictures held all beholders throughout. A double comedy, a drama and a splendid song by a new vocaliBt completed an attractive pro gramme. The Arcade was crowded with poli ticians, all anxious' to see what took place at the National Republican Con vention at Chicago. Many of the de .n waa faithfnllv nrpapntpd and a number of the notables shown. "Be- fore the White Man Came" was a most realistic Indian theme. "In Blossom Time" was a neat sentimental drama, and "Father and Boys", provided a comedy In which the pranks of a young son won the bride In a most humorous ffshlon. All the shows were attended by Elks, who complimented the management on the beauty of the decorations. The Portland Woman Suffrage As sociation has secured the Star Theater for three days, commencing Wednes day, July 17, and will show a two-reel special entitled "Votea for Women," an appeal for woman suffrage. . They will use the proceeds for their cam paign fund. MYRTLE ROBNETTE IS DEAD Icy Bath Too 6evere on Young Girl and Xephritis Develops. !

Death was " caused by ne phritis, brought on by exposure. While visiting her father, D. Z. Rob nette; a timber locator, at Silver Lake, Miss Robnette joined 'a Silver Lake church. With a class of others she was taken to Silver River shortly after her profession of faith for baptism. The river was covered with Ice, and It was necessary to chop through this before the candidates could be Immersed. On the return from the place of bap tism to her home, the automobile In which she was riding broke down, and the wait resulting caused further ex posure. About three months ago she went to Summer Lake, near Silver Lake, and the cold weather encountered on the trip is believed to have aggravated her condition. .

Attacks of Indigestion "I believe Chamberlain's Tablets have saved my life, writes Mrs. Maggie Coil, Golden City, Mo. "I had pains in my stomaon so Daa i thought I could not live.. Our doctor said it was congestion of the stomach. I would goto bed perf ectlywell and wake up in the eight as bad as I could be and live. Our doc tor said it would do no good to give medi cine internally. He had to inject medicine in my arm. Since tak ing Chamberlain's Tablets I can eat any thing I want without hurting me" This form of indigestion is extremely painful and often dangerous. By taking Chamberlain's Tablets after eating. and especially when you have fulness and weight in the stomach after eating, the disease may be warded off and avoided.

Stanley Brothers, World's Champion Cowboys, Will Perform Feats of Frontier Roping. The last chance to see the famous Pasadena chariot races will be given the Elks and public at the Country Club this afternoon, starting at 2:30 o'clock, when the four-horse ' rumble carts, which a few Pasadena Elks brought north, will end their compe tition. The races were staged for the first time here, July 4, but owing to the fact that the horses had been on the train several days, they were a little out of trim. E. F. Kohler, mainly instrumental in hnuino- thA attraction here, thinks that on the track here, with easier curves. the record of a mile in l:o0 has a good chance of being lowered today. The light mist which fell fresterday put the track in the best of shape and the horses are well rested. Oregon's climate seems to be good for the steeds, for they are becoming ex (r0m.iv livplv. In their dailv prac tices they are almost unmanageable when allowed to get tne diis in tneir teeth. Yesterday A. J. Stanley, one of the world's champion cdwboys, was in if ttio twn-whnpled vflzoni and allowed the horses to get a good run. With the norses gaining in spirit, ine element of danger almost doubles, for if nna nf th horses haDoens to' fall there is a general pile-up and the driver stands little chance of getting away Mnlnjured.
