Dr. Woodruff, Noted Strong Man of Pennsylvania. University, Is " Also in Jail. Dr. Wylie G. "Woodruff, one of the star football players of the University of Pennsylvania "Ave years ago, and in his time one of the best all-round athletes in this country, -was arrested last night at the Terminal depot, along with Mrs. Edith Moyer, of Lawrence, Kan., charged. ' with kidnaping Mrs. Moyer's baby daugh ter. Myrtle. Detectives Day and Weiner made the arrest, and Dr. "Woodruff and Mrs". Moyer and the baby were taken to the police station for the night. The arrests were made on the authority of telegraphic Instructions from Chief of Police Hayes, of Lawrence, Kan., who sent this message to Chief of Police Mc Laughlan last night: "'I have state warrant for arrest of Wylie G. "Woodruff and woman, who are charged with kidnaping 4-year-old child. They will arrive your city. Northern Pa cific train, at 6 o'clock. Arrest and hold both. Wire me and I will send you offi cer. "Woman and child Monde, with dark eyes." Dr. "Woodruff and his companion were greatly surprised when they stepped off the train last night at the Terminal de pot, tired after the long journey from Kansas, to be told that they were under arrest. TAJon't understand what the matter is. I came here to make my home In Ore gon," remarked Dr. "Woodruff, but he ac companied the officers to the police sta tion. Detective Day carried the baby, who was asleep, and Mrs. Moyer followed like one in a dream. She is a handsome little woman, with pretty, fair hair, dark eyes, and has a well-bred air. An Ore gonian reporter Interviewed her, and she said: "I don't understand why I am arested. Surely I am not arrested for kidnaping my own baby. I came here to settle In Oregon, and make my home here for good. My i-eason for leaving Kansas was be cause my husband, whom I left last Feb ruary, made threats against my life, and I am afraid he will kill me. My health Buffered because of the Kansas climate, and I had heard so much about the ad vantages of Oregon that I came here. Dr. "Woodruff knows my circumstances, and it Is just a coincidence that he was coming to Oregon at the same time. He is my medical adviser. I will never live with my husband again. He is a druggist at Lawrence, Kan." Dr. "Woodruff had been sitting with the baby on his knee, and he said he would like to tell his side of the story. "I am a graduate of the University of Pennsyl vania," he stated, "and am well known on football fields In the East. I was on the Pennsylvania jteam when Brooke was full back and "Wharton on the line the year that carried Pennsylvania to the front rank among the college teams in this country- After I graduated In 1S97 from the Pennsylvania Medical School I began the practice of my profession, and when the Spanish-American "War broke out I offered mv services to my country and was detailed to surgical duty at Fort Riley, Kan." ""What about kidnaping the baby?" asked the reporter. "I have kidnaped no baby," said Dr. "Woodruff, with energy. "I am protecting my friend, Mrs. Moyer. from the Ill-usage of toer husband. He has abused her, and she believes her life Is In danger from him. My relation is only that of a friend. I assure you. I want to set that right hefore the public when this story gets to their ears. I came here to spend the re mainder of my days in Oregon and to re sume the practice of my profession. This arrest Is an outrage, and I propose to make 60rnebody suffer for it. I have a case of damages." Dr. Woodruff Is about 30 years old. Is about 6 feet tall. Is finely proportioned, and weighs about IS pounds. A Pennsyl- vanian now resident of this city states that Dr. "Woodruff four or five years ago belonged to the most exclusive set In Philadelphia, and was the most popular athlete in the Pennsylvania football team all the years he was at college. His great strength then was enormous, and he used to hold two football players at once with apparent ease. Once he won a gold medal against Harvard for throw ing the heavy hammer. In Philadelphia he was an honored guest at the famous Union League Club, the Clover Club, the Pen and Pencil Club and other well-known social organizations. His family is well connected. HAS TALENT TO SPARE. Test of Community of Ownership in the Proposed Portland, Nehalem &.. Tlllumoolc The brief dispatch from New York in yesterday's Oregonian stating that peace has been patched up in the Hill-Morgan and the Harrlman-Kuhn-Loeb struggle Is true in the sense that It Is a prediction of the probable ' solution of the differ ences between the two " camps of finan ciers. Local railroad men who have been close watchers of the trouble have be lieved all along that only two methods of settlement offered themselves either another shows Hill and Morgan and the third passes everything up for judicial determination. On the face of the situa tion the only basis of settlement that offers peace, stability of territory and permanence in the value of assets It is community of ownerships agreement. Just how the settlement will be worked out Is unknown beyond those . imme diately Interested. It is taken for grant ed in the East that the -Union Pacific will have influential representation In the Northern Pacific board of directors, and that this will suffice to render Burling ton competition in Union Pacific terri tory comparatively harmless. In some quarters Intimations have been heard that the new era of good feeling may extend as well to the assignment of certain seats to the Northern Pacific in the Union Pa cific board.

If the community of ownership Idea takes root the Northern Pacific will have an oppor tunity to guess again. The Union Pacific .Southern Pacific, following the plan in herited from C. P. Huntington, Is pre paring to build to the seaside an ex tension of the Astoria & Columbia River by way of Nehalem Bay and Tillamook City. The Portland, Nehalem & Tilla mook has surveyed a direct route from Portland to Nehalem and is awaiting an answer from the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific to its proposal to build a community owner ship road to Nehalem. with Portland as the terminus. The answer of Harrlman and Lamont, which ought to be In Port land next week, will give -an Insight of the status of the community of owner ship plan among the participants in the recent great struggle In Wall street and the progress which has been made In that direction since Northern Pacific dropped from J1000 a share. . Portland has this week given an ex ample of the working of community of ownership in the agreement between the O. R. & N., the Astoria & Columbia River and the steamboat lines, whereby pass enger rates were raised between Portland and Astoria. Whereas a short time ago the competing lines were cutting each other's throat for "two-bit" fares, there is now harmony and solace In the thought that a perfect understanding is a good thing. It is noteworthy that little was said of harmony prior to the publication in -The Oregonian of the story that the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad had been leased for 99 years by the Southern Pacific, and that the lease had become the property of Harrlman when the Union Pacific absorbed the Southern. While the lease may not have been made, there has been' no official denial of Its exist ence. If It has been made, the com munity of ownership which restored rates between Portland and Astoria on the O. R. & N. and the Astoria & Columbia Railroad, both lines controlled by the Harrlman people, Is explained. It Is said that the reason the Astoria & Columbia River lease' to Huntington was not ma'de public Is that the agreement was that It should not be recorded. PICTURES AND FRAMES.

Whatever measure of truth there Is In the New York story, it does not appear likely that the final settle ment has been made, or will be made until the return of J. P. Morgan from Europe. The New York report, which origin ated with the World, has it that Union Pacific has a $59,000,000 interest in the Northern Pacific; that both sides have ceased talking about their holdings In the other lines, and that peace was re stored through the efforts of William K. Vanderbilt and George J. Gould. The figure of Union Pacific holdings In North ern Pacific is an under-estimate. On May 3, the last time Harrlman held out the olive branch to Hill and Morgan and told them that his sole purpose in buy ing Northern was to prevent aggression in his territory, Union Pacific .held $65,- 000,000 of Northern Pacific stock. Harrl man has not been letting go of Northern since then. It would be very natural for Vanderbilt and Gould, particularly the former, to advise peace. Vanderbilt is one of the originators of the community of ownership idea. In 1900 he made an agreement with Cassatt whereby New York Central and Pennsylvania were to acquire and hold stocks of other roads for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary railroad building, .securing the mainten ance of rates and establishing harmony between the trunk lines from the shore of Lake Ontario to the southern limits of Norfolk & Western. It was appar ent that if community of ownership was desirable east of the Mississippi, it was desirable In its application to the granger, Pacific and Southwestern roads. Thus the alliance of the Northern Pa cific, Great Northern and Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy in one group, the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. in another, the extension of the Gould system and the absorption of the Jersey Central by the Reading. Union Pacific Protecting: Itself. The general situation as understood In Portland Is this: The Burlington deal goes through in any case, more than the two-thirds of the stock required for the sale of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy to the Great Northern and North ern Pacific having been deposited. There never has been any serious doubt that tho deal would be .made. Harrlman ap parently realized this, for his fight, as Indicated by his proposals to the HHI Morgan syndicate, has been to. keep the Burlington from being used against him, rather than to prevent its alliance with the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific. He offered to buy, In behalf of the Union Pacific, a portion of the Bur lington stock which had been acquired by the Northern Pacific and Great North ern, and participate with the Northern Pacific in such traffic relations as might be established. The second proposal was that an agreement should be made with a view to maintaining the integrity of the Union Pacific and the maintenance of certain relations with existing roads. Both of these proposals were rejected and the struggle followed In Wall street which has kept the financial world guess ing ever elnce. No one doubts that the Harrlman- Kuhn-Loeb combination owns a major ity of the Northern Pacific stock as shown by the actual certificates, ,that Is, Including preferred and common. Under the terms of the reorganization, of the Northern, the preferred stock may be retired January 1, 1902. The present directory of the Northern Pacific, which represents the Hill-Morgan interest, may be depended upon to retire this" stock if it shall be necessary to break Harriman's hold and fortify the position of Hill and Morgan. On the other hand, the pre ferred stock has voting power,and it is possible for the Harrlman party to elect a new directorate at the annual meeting in October, the members of whfch, being of their own choosing, would naturally vote against retiring the preferred stock. Again, It Is asserted on good authority that the present Hill-Morgan directorate of the Northern Pacific has authority to retire the preferred stock and thus de feat the aim of the Harrlman party to gain" control In October. If Hill and Mor gan adopt this latter course, there Is hardly any doubt that the Harrlman people will sue out an injunction and cause a general tie-up In the courts. One view of the situation shows Har rlman in control of the Northern Pacific, j For the 622d Friday Surprise Sale today we offer an exceptional purchase of 200 dozen of ladies' high-grade lisle Vests and Pants, finely made, neatly trimmed, high neck and long sleeves, and high neck with short sleeves, ankle or knee length pants.

Skies Illuminated for Nearly Three Honra With Electricity That Showed in Spiral Form. In the eastern part of Marlon and Clack amas Counties there was a display of heavenjy pyrotechnics Sunday night, bril liant beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant. It a reported to Forecast Of- i flcial Beals In a letter from G. Muecke, volunteer observer at Mlramonte Farm, near Aurora, who writes under date of May 27, as follows: "I beg to report an extraordinary phe- t nomenon of thunder and lightning which occurred last night, and which is' of such rare occurrence In this region that 'the oldest inhabitants' assured me today that they never experienced anything like it, ' some of them having lived around here since 1845. "Last evening, at about 10:25, 'horizon tal' lightning commenced at southeast; barometer (at 195 feet elevation) Indicat ing 29.73; temperature, 63 deg. No thun der was audible and the lightning was frequent, extending on a long range from . extreme southeast to nearly east. This continued until after 11:15 P. M., when I retired. No doubt this must have con tinued further, for at- 12:20 A. M. I was awakened by roaring r thunder. Getting up at once, -I watched the southeast, and almost due east horizon, which, viewed from this station, is formed by the Cas cade Mountains', just above 50 miles' dis tant, east. "Such Intense flashes of lightning, Illu minating the sky and country to the ex tent of almost bright sunlight, I have never before seen. What seemed to me very strange, however, was the fact that not once the streaks of lightning formed 'zig-zags,' like In my youth. Last night's streaks were all vertical, about 10 deg. down to as It appeared either just west or just east of the Cascade Range. The streaks of lightning were mostly like half a spiral or corkscrew. But three, times I saw a perfect 'n' and one an 'm. The thunder peals which followed the lat ter were tremendous. I must remark that for half an hour- I Invariably counted from 20 to 23 seconds between the light ning and the thunder, and they repeated also for over half an hour regularly every 25 to 30 seconds. The rain here during two hours amounted only to .29 of an inch. At 1:15 A. M. the phenomenon ceased. The entire phenomenon lasted 2 hours and 50 minutes the longest continuous light ning and ultimate thunder I ever experienced." S Special Sale of iff j j Tailor-Made Suits - & S I PMW?

All Casca of Eruptive DIsenae Should Be Instantly Reported. A special meeting of the health and po lice committee was held in the Mayor's office yesterday morning tq consider the most effective plan for preventing the spread of smallpox. The authorities have been as watchful as possible since the malady was brought to the United States from Manila two years ago, .and Port land has been very free from the conta gion as a consequence. The disease, how ever, obtained a foothold in many places In the interior and on Puget Sound, hut proving of a mild type, proper quaran tine regulations were omitted, add the scourge was allowed to run its course. Very few deaths resulted, considering that no battle was waged against its spread, but many people of Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington bear evidence of its visit in their faces, which are badly pit ted. All this time Portland was exposed to Its ravages, as no quarantine was prac ticable against the cities and towns of the Inland Empire., Whenever a case ap peared, It was in the person of some new arrival at the cheap lodglng-"houses of the city, and as soon as the case was discovered the City Physician would Im mediately send the patient to the County Hospital for contagious diseases, while his assistants would proceed -to fumigate the Infected premises. Hundreds of per sons exposed in such places have been vaccinated, some against their will, but the majority have acted very sensibly about it, realizing the danger to them selves and the public, and thus submit- ting cheerfully to the application of the virus. Recently, however, several little chil dren have been found suffering from the contagion, while their parents, - thinking it was only chicken-pox, neglected to call a physician, and so subjected the neighborhood to Its spread. Wednesday of this week City Physician Zan was passing by a dwelling at 284 Third street and noticed a woman with an eruption overspreading her face leaning on the gate. He at once recognized It as a case of smallpox, and told the woman, whose name Is Brlsble, about It- She was surprised, and said that two of her little, children had hut Just recovered from the complaint, "which she thought was chicken-pox. The premises WBre at once quarantined, the yellow flag hoisted and a police guard placed over the prem ises to prevent public communication with the stricken family. The woman will be taken to the hospital today. At 102 Pennoyer street, In South Port land, a boy named Iverson broke out with the smallpox some days ago. ' The prem ises 'were quarantined, and now two more of the children are down with the dis ease. The police have been, directed to keep the place rigidly Isolated. Wednesday morning a 4-year-old girl was found suffering from the malady in a small house occupied by the family of one Larsen, near the Holladay House, east of the steel bridge. Investigation proved that the father of the family had brought the disease to the house through having visited a longshoreman friend in a Whltechapel lodging-house who was af flicted with It. Larsen did not contract the disease himself, .but brought the germs home In his clothing. The child and mother were removed to the proper hos pital, the house thoroughly fumigated and the premises Isolated as much as pos sible by placing a police guard over tnem. These facts go to show that tho disease has obtained a foothold In three different portions of the city. To prevent its fur ther spread, the residents of Portland must Instantly report all cases where per sons are suffering froin eruption. In order that the City Physician may Investigate them. Chicken-pox Is alao prevalent in the city, and at certain stages the symp toms are so much alike that only a phy sician can decide between chicken-pox and smallpox. Mayor Rowe said yesterday. In address ing the committee on health and police, that there was no need of being alarmed over the matter, but there is need of watchfulness on the part of both authori ties and citizens. Chief of PpHce Mc Lauchlan. has ordered his men to detain every person whose face shows any sign of eruption until the City Physician can be brought to the scene. Passengers ar riving by the various trains and boats will be scrutinized and all suspicious-look ing strangers prevented from minglirs with the people of the city until the sus picions are removed. "The smallpox may be of a very mild type," Mayor Rowe said, "but we don t want it to become epidemic In Portland. and it can be held In "check If the peo, pie win ao tneir part In reporting all cases, whether chicken-pox or smallpox. Ir. Zan says there are now six cases at the hospital for contagious diseases west of town, and these are all conva lescing. The nurse, Mrs. Tout, does all the work of cooking, washing and caring, for the patients, and earns every cent of the ?4 a day she Is paid. She has proven very efficient in nursing even the most malignant cases-, and he considered her the right person for the place. "Should the , quarantine of infected premises nqt prove effective, we shall xe move all the members of each exposed family to the hospital. We have had trouble with the Pennoyer-streeC people, who 'have permitted their dog to go bark ing around the neighborhood, but this will henceforth be stopped. We should profit by the experience of Seattle, Spo kane and Salt Lake Oity, where the dan ger was trifled with until Jt got beyond the control of the authorities and became epidemic."
