Peterson, was taken to the police station yesterday In a comatose condition that defied the diagnosis of City Physician Ziegler. and puzzled ex perienced policemen, Peterson was found by Patrolman Thatcher In the basement of the Im perial Hotel. In a condition that led th officer to believe he had taken poison. He was taken to the police station, and It. Ziegler was called. The physician ulckly determined that no ordinary poison had been taken, nor did the man have the appearance of being drunk. He could not speak Intelligibly and seemed about to die. In the man's pocket was found a note addressed to a young woman, and she. .when telephoned to, gave the in formation that he lived with his par ents at S70 Castle avenue. Inquiry there produced the information that He was addicted to drink and when under Its Influence was strangely affected in the way observed at the station. Peterson was arrested about ten days ago at Russell street and Mississippi avenue, where he was trying to buy morphine In a druastore. At the sta tion he acted In the same manner as yesterday, but recovered at length and was released. 4 Physician and policemen agreed that they never had observed a case where alcohol worked as It did In his. The prisoner was placed on a bunk in the Jail, and was released when called for by his relatives. . K "Wnj m. 1 ' ai mi m, ... j Lk JU - t saii I Mrs. H. R. aster Nee Swetlaaa.)

DULLNESS LAID TO INJURY Operation May Care Lad Hurt San Francisco Quake. in Injured In the San Francisco earth quake of April IS, 1906. Earl Hanson, now 14 years old and a pupil of the Woodstock school, will be brought be fore Juvenile Court Judge Oatens Mon day by Truant Officer Krum who will ask the court to order the boy ex amined by physicians to determine his degree of sanity. The lad was in the third grade of th public school at Oakland. CaL. at the time of the great fire, and although nearly five and one-half years have assed alnce ths date of his Injury, he has advanced only one grade, and has been unable to make a success of his studies In even the smallest degree. Behind one of his ears is a lump quite tender to the touch. The little fellow's teacher first called the. attention of Mr. Krum to the boy. reporting that he takes off bis shoes n class and cuts his shoestrlngsto pieces and refuses quite often to go home after school Is dismissed. An other eccentricity of the boy is his habit of rambling for long distance alone Saturdays and holidays and re fusing to consort with children of his own age. He also has a mania for stealing eggs. Mr. Krum believes that the lad s skull presses on his brain and that operation may cure him. Before he accident he was an unusually bright boy. It la reported. ffiR Hi In many of the finest American homes today the hall, living room, library or dining-room is furnished in oak. Not, of course, in the debased and cheapened oak furniture seen else where, but in the real thing beautiful, distinctive, richly embellished with carvings cane and fine old tapestries or velvets. A few years ago you couldn't have bought this sort of furni ture in Portland. You would have had to go to New York or Boston or Chicago for it. Today we offer you a selection exceeded in variety by few stores in the country, and not approached by any other store in the Northwest. Our windows this week will give you an idea of the quality of this furniture, and of the extraordinary stock now on hand. Beautiful reproductions are shown in the Gothic, Elizabethan, Charles II, William and Mary and other classic periods, in Tables, Consoles, Mirrors, Chairs, Settees, Davenports and Dining-Room Furniture. It is impossible to speak too highly of these .pieces, and we urge you to see them. If you contemplate furnishing an oak room, we shall be very pleased to offer suggestions for the decorative treatment and to supply you with sketches or estimates. .

WASHINGTON FOR TUFT REXOMIXATIOX IX FAVOR, SAYS JUDGE C. E. KIXDT. Movement Inangurated in Portland to Further Campaign of Presi dent Has Hearty Support. That the movempnt inaugurated In Portland for furthering the renomlna tlon of President Taft is heartily In dorsed by the Republicans of Washing ton County, and that similar action should be taken In every county in the state, was the statement made yester day by Judge C. E. Kindt, of Washing ton County, who is in Portland for few days. "Mr. Taft has made one of the best Presidents we have ever had," said Judge Kindt, "He 1 a good Republican and de serves a renomlnation. He has actually done more things and carried out more pledges than several of his predeces sors. His speech at Chicago yesterday, In wh'ch he declared that he believed It to be his duty to enforce the law Impartially, shows the disposition that every man in hi station ought to have, Washington County Republicans are for him. This county never has given it vote for a Democratic candidate for Governor, and Its Influence will be for the rejtular Republican nominee for President. "The first time I saw President Taft was in Washington in 1890, when he was before the Supreme Court of the United States as Solicitor-General. He Impressed me then as being a great lawyer. He was later to be a great Judge. His judicial appointments consider the very best. The fact that he has not hesitated to appoint Demo crats where they were men of signal ability is another evidence of his devo tion to public duty and clear-sighted ness. He Is a man who has grown great deal during his term of office. His efforts to bring about international peace ought to make for him the good will of all persons who believe that peace has even greater victories than wa '.' GAS BLOCKS MAN'S SPEECH C. F. Walters, Who Inhaled Fames Six Days .tgo, Talks but Once. . Although under treatment nearly six days, and conscious most of the time, C. F. Walters, who was rescued from a room filled with gaa, at 353 Yamhill street. Monday forenoon, after he had been Inhaling gaa for 36 hours, spoke for the first time yeBterday morning. He is at the Good Samaritan Hospital. His utterance was "pretty good," in answer to a question as to how he ws feeling. Dr. C. Samuel Hosmer, who has Walters under treatment, says the pa tient's temporary loss of speech from gas poisoning is not uncommon, but that he is at a loss to explain how a man could inhale gas for 36 hours, as Walters did, and still survive. Gas poisoning, said the physician, destroys the red corpuscles in the blood, thus destroying the energy of the victim and deadening his mind so that, al though conscious of the things about him, he is unable to summon enough power to act.
