"DEAD" MAN IS MUCH ALIVE Joke on Oregon City I'ndertaker I'rvvcn UoomcrauR. OREGON" CITY.Or.. De,;. T. Spe cial.) To have a "dead' 'man Jump off the slab In hla undertaking establish ment and offer to fight any man In the place waa the experience of R. L. Holman today. At about 3 o'clock the undertaker received a call that there waa a "dead" man at the Elk horn tables and Holman rent a wagon to secure the "body." The. wagon with the "body" returned and tho corpse waa placed on the slab. Holman was sus picious, for he had noticed a peculiar movement of the muscles, which Is not only an unusual, but also a strange thing for a really "dead" man to do, so ho "sneaked around" to the pedal ex tremities of the body and hit the' feet of the "corpse" with a hammer. The "dead" man resented such action and jumped up with surprising quickness. It appears, after an investigation, that a group of friends or the under taker had bribed a stranger in the town to play "corpse" for the occasion.

Mr. Neuburger ssys he already has 6000 signatures to the petition, and that he expects to get many thousand more before Mr. Mltchel comes back. He Is busy sending out letters and petition blanks to swell the chorus of Waldo adherents. "This is purely a personal movement started on my part." said Mr. Neubur ger. "I don't represent any organized movement or any association. My de sire to see Mr. Waldo continued In his Job comes entirely from my belief, based on my own experiences with him and the men under him, that he Is do ing good work In putting the depart ment on an honest, dignified basis." Waldo Kstowa Job New. When asked as to what he thought of the condition of the department brought out hy the Rosenthal scandal pnd the rase growing out of It. and of Mr. Waldo's attitude toward the investlga. tlon of the police at that time, he said: "I believe that Mr. Waldo did have something put over on hlni, but It can. not happen again. He knows the Job now. And then, during the Investiga tion, he was certainly held down by Mayor Gaynor. He could not do any thing except under Mr. Gaynofa orders. "A new man In his place might be fooled the same as ho was. but give Mr. Waldo free rein, and I have all kinds of faith In him." In his circular Mr. Neuburger says: "In all fairness to Commissioner Waldo, I will add that he Is not In any way personally responsible for this move ment In his behalf.' ew Kra Xaw Started. "The grent fusion victory of Novem ber 4 Is still fresh In our minds." his petition begins. "We are about to en ter a new era of municipal government. The hlsh type of men elected Hssures New York a sound business administra tion. In line with this, the Inclosed petition Is self-expsnatory." The petition, which Is addressed to Mr. Mitchel. after congratulating him on his election, reads: "We urgently petition you In the se lection of a Police Commissioner lo take Into consideration Rhlnelander Waldo. Esq.. whose present adminis tration of the offico has been marked with tremendous Improvements In the general efficiency of our Police Depart, in -lit and who Instilled Into the army comprising the police force a new feel ing of loyalty to the municipality of New York. "To make a rhanire In the Commln slonershlp now would surely weaken the magnificent and comparatively new structure, quite exclusive of tho fact that It would retard and possibly nul lify the completion of additional plans for setting the new hlish standard of efficiency In the Police Department." M'COMBS URGED BY LEITER Family of Bride Would Advance In Society by Ambar-stidorsliip. NEW Y'ORK. D;c. . A Paris cable to the New York American says: Tho final refusal of the Ambassador ship at Paris by W. F. McComhs has greatly displeased the Letter family, of which his wife Is a member, ac cording to Information supplied by a person highly placed In diplomatic cir cles, now passing through Paris. Joaeph Leiter, who Is now on a yacht ing cruise In tho Mediterranean, ex pected that after the marriage of Mc Comhs and Miss William. McComhs would sea the way clear to reconsider his refusal. The Lellers counted on McCombs' future rank as Ambassador to lift them Into great social promi nence, both In Amorlca and Europe, with access to the dazzling court life of all the monarchical capitals. The original grave obstacle to Mo Combs' acceptance of President Wil son's offer was his Inability to meet the monetary obligations the post entails. It Is true, the Informant adds. Miss Williams did not bring her husband a large fortune, but Mr. I-elter declared' himself ready to flnanco him In the diplomatic line. McCombs might have been willing to accept his wife's financial help, if she could have given any. but he revolted at the idea of Mr. Letter's proposition ml rejected it. His independent attitude has not cn dcared htm to the Letter family. AST0R SWEARS OFF TAXES Vincent fJoe Scot Free, and Step Mother's Assessment Is Cnt. NKW YORK. Deo. f.

Consistency An office building that is ornate and attractive outside should appeal to an equal degree in side. Otherwise one is doomed to disappoint ment when the time comes to enter. Portland's newest skyscraper is harmonious throughout. Upon entering and inspecting the interior, one finds it roomy, yet not too roomy to he cosy. Broad corridors, wainscoting of Italian mar ble, and the indirect lighting system combine to create an interior atmosphere that is pleas ing to the same extent as one is favorably impressed upon observation of the exterior. Thus is shown the conscientiousness of con ception and consistency of execution by owners, designers and builders.
