THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1903.
TAKES OFFICE TOD AY
W. E. Finzer Assumes Duties I
of Adjutant-General,
SUCCEEDS C. U. GANTENBEIN
jhro Officers Sleet and Arrange for
tke Transfer In Four Tear Ore
Koa National Guard Ha Been
. Reorganized. -
The command of the -Oregon National
Guard will today be transferred to Cap
tain TV- JE. Finzer, of Company I, Third
Regiment, of Woodburn, when he will
enter upon his duties as Adjutant-General.
He succeeds General C. U. Ganten
bein, who has been Colonel of the Third
Keglment since August 10 and has only
retained the office of Adjutant-General
while he was winding up the unfinished
business he had on. hand ready to turn
it over to his successor.
All arrangements for the transfer were
made yesterday, and the change will oc
cur as easily as one man comes in at one
floor while the other man goes out at the
other. The two officers were in .friendly
converse at the Armory last night, while
the hustle Incidental to the return of Bat
tery A from camp and the preparations
of the Third Regiment and ,the companies
of the Separate Battalion to go Into camp
were going on all around them.
Colonel Gantenbein Is probably as happy
In giving up the only salaried office in the
National Guard as General Finzer Is to
step Into it, for It has lately taken up
nearly all his time and he has new duties
to take up which will not leave him any
time to kill, for he has been appointed
dean and lecturer on common law, evi
dence and contracts at the University of
Oregon.
During his four years as Adjutant-General,
Colonel Gantenbein has successfully
carried the organization through a tran
sition stage in its history. On his return
from the Philippines, where he was Major
of the first battalion which landed, and his
appointment to the office, he took up and
completed the work of reorganizing the
Guard, which had begun in his absence.
Then he took up and carried through the
collection of the state's claims against
the United States, amounting to about
$54,000 in cash and kind for equipment
furnished by -the state to the Second Ore
gon Volunteer Regiment It also fell to
him to prepare a new code of regulations
governing the National Guard, which he
completed in 190L He had the pleasant
task of distributing the 1700 medals Issued
by the Government to the Spanish-American
"War veterans of. the state. Then he
succeeded in collecting about $21,000 for
the Second Oregon Volunteers as pay
from the date of their assembly at Camp
McKInley to the date of their muster
Into the United States service. He com
pleted his work in connection with the
Second Regiment by compiling the official
record of their services in the Spanish
American War and the Philippine insur
rection. He has recently closed the business con
nected with the payment of the claims of
the Indian "War veterans, for the payment
of which the last Legislature appropriated
$100,000. He has passed on all claims pre
sented to date, numbering 870, with the
exception of two, which are suspended.
The appropriation is not sufficient to pay
all the claims for they will aggregate
about $140,000. The bill originally pro
vided for an appropriation of $300,000 to
pay $2 a day for each man and $2 a day
for each horse. The allowance for the
horses was eliminated and the appropria
tion was cut down to $100,000. If it had
been placed at $150,000 It would have been
enough, for all the men were mounted, so
that the allowance for horses will amount
to as much as that for the men. Action
on the "claims In excess of the appropria
tion will await the result of a mandamus
suit to compel the Secretary of State to
draw warrants for all claims allowed. If
the court grants the order sought, the
-State Treasurer will mark these warrants
"not paid for want of funds," and they
will draw 6 per cent Interest until paid.
Colonel Gantenbein has recently com
pleted the reorganization of the National
Guard on the lines of the Dick militia law.
This makes the Guard the first reserve
of the regular Army, subject to be called
Into service In case of invasion, insurrec
tion or the need of military force to main
tain the law. Under the Dick bill, either
whole regiments or single companies may
be called Into service as a unit with their
owa officers. The Guard Is now equipped
In the same way as the regular Army,
with the same uniform, shoes, shelter
tents anS Krag-Jorgensen rifles. This is
' the first time that the National Guard has
had entirely new rifles, for It has had to
be satisfied hitherto with rifles discarded
by the regulars.
The last work falling upon General Gan
tenbein was the arrangement for the an
nual encampment with which the Guard
Is busy. He has provided for encamp
ments which nre full of work and not
merely picnics, such as have been the jest
of the humorists.
"I shall follow the same lines as Gen
eral Gantenbein,"" said General Finzer, In
talking of his plans with an Oregonlan
reporter, "and expect to do the best I can
for the Guard. General Gantenbein has
given very good service, and if I can do
as well as he, I shall be content. I expect
to visit the camps of both the Third Reg
iment at Gearhart and that of the Sepa
rate Battalion at Roseburg. I shall not be
able to Join Troop A, which will make a
practice march from Lebanon towards
Brownville, under command of Colonel
Jackson."
General Finzer will probably make his
headquarters In Portland, as the largest
proportion of the state troops is here.
FIRST BATTERY RETURNS.
Rational Guard Field Artillery
Slakes Good Records.
The First Battery of Field Artillery, O
N. G., which returned a few days ago
from camp at Seaside, made good ree
ords with the field guns in target prac
tice and. if it ha"d been firing at a hos
tile battery Instead of a landslide, would
have done some damage.
The guns were stationed on the beach
and fired across a strip of water at a land
slide on the side of Tillamook Head, the
center of this target being marked by
.piece of muslin three by six feet, which
only looked like a white spot at the
ranges used. Twelve shots were fired at a
range of 1700 yards and all were effective.
that is. hit the target. The other IS shots
were fired at a range of 2600 yards, or a
mile and a half. Of these 14 were effec
tive and one shell broke only about 50
feet from the muzzle of the gun. It con
tinued to travel, fragments dropping all
along the line towards the target for a
distance of 2000 yards and most of them
falling In the water.
The battery also had pistol practice at
ranges of 25, 50 and 75 yards, each man
having six shots. The honors were won by
Corporal H. "W. Ormandy, who made six
bull's eyes at 25 yards. The full scores
have not been added up, but the men
Bhowed fairly good markmanshlp, though

so that it has to hire untrained horses
for the occasion each time that it goes
Into camp. Naturally; it took several days
to break in the horses, but the last two f
drills were good, the horses having been
put In good training by that time. One
horse was, balky and on one occasion fell,
but nobody was hurt and not a strap in
the harness was broken.
A decided friendship was struck up be
tween the battery and the citizens of
Seaside, who enjoyed their society during
the hours of liberty, which were a large
part of every afternoon and from sunset
to 11 P. M . A baseball team was formed
and beat the Seaside team by a score of
7 to 4. Mayor Young, the town Council,
Marshal and Deputy Marshal of Seaside
were all entertained at dinner one day.
Last TV'ednseday the whole battery ex
cept the guard detail were invited by
Lieutenant-B. M. Clark to a campflre on
the beach near his house, at which re
freshments were served by Mrs. Clark and
the hours flew with the aid of singing
and other amusements.
The camp was visited last "Wednesday
by Colonel James Jackson, the Inspector
General, who made a thorough inspection
of the men, both in camp and on drill.
Adjutant-General Gantenbein visited the
camp on Sunday, August 23, and was
greeted with a Brigadier-General's salute
of 11 guns.
Sergeant E. O. Bender was made the
victim of a practical joke by his com
rades. A Seaside lady gave him a cake,
which he concealed In the Quartermaster's
storeroom. The boys found It, carefully
packed in a box and promptly made a
football of it, so that, when the boxwas
opened, the cake was reduced to about
.the consistency of clam chowder, to Mr.
Bender's great indignation.
The battery assembled at the Armory
last night to check up all the property
as a preliminary to receiving its pay on
Friday evening..
TOO LATE TO GET MONEY.
Lewis Stubbc's Children Sue
- Their Father's Property.
for
The children of Louis Stubbe, deceased,
charge that Mrs. Alvina Rcinke has 51S00
in cash and other personal property which
she obtained from their father during his
lifetime, and now refuses to surrender.
The children, whose names are "William,
August, Henry and Gustaf Stubbe, and
Lena, Kolpen and Caroline Stubbe, yes
terday by their attorneys, Mitchell & Tan
ner, commenced suit against Mrs. Relnke
In the State Circuit Court, and also asked
for an order which Judge Cleland signed,
enjoining her from withdrawing $1200 from
the Merchants' National Bank. Tne Sher
iff took the order to the bank, only to be
informed that, there was no such $1200 de
posit on hand. The woman withdrew the
money on August 19, having evidently in
some manner received a tip of what was
coming.
As the story goes, Mrs. Relnke, who was
formerly known as Alvina Henz, came
here from "Wisconsin with Louis Stubbe,
who was a teamster, about four years
ago. The complaint recites that he died
in October, 1902, and that she took posses
sion of the household furniture and other
personal 'property, besides $1800, which he
had possessed. It is alleged that Mrs,
Relnke refused to pay the money over to
the heirs upon demand, asserting that
their father had expended It all before his
death except several hundred dollars,
which she had expended In payment of the
expenses of his last sickness and the
funeral bill. The plaintiffs aver that this
Is not true, because Mrs. Relnke recently
deposited $1200 In the Merchants' National
Eank. which was a portion of the $1S00,
and this is the $1200 which the officer of
the law was too late to seize.
IDAHO IN HIGH FAVOR.
Congressional Delegation Has Presi
dent's Confidence.
Governor John T. Morrison, of Idaho,
Is at the "Imperial on his way from Boise
to Northern Idaho. The disaster which,
has befallen the Oregon Congressional
delegation was well known to Governor
Morrison, but when asked about the re
port that the Idaho delegation was also
suffering somewhat at the hands of the
Administration, the Governor laughed.
"Nothing in It at all," said he. "As far
as any one can see. President Roosevelt
has every confidence In the representa
tives from our state, and there has been
no friction in the past, nor is there likely
to be any in the future. The report
started, probably, in the fact that the
General Land Office has withdrawn a
great deal of land from entry in our state
and we differ as to the wisdom of some
of the withdrawals. But there is no
trouble. "We will argue the matter out
and I have no doubt that the ultimate re
sult will be fair, both to Idaho and to the
Nation at large.
"As a matter of. fact," continued the
Governor, "neither Oregon nor Idaho have
realized from their timber lands what
they are worth. Idaho Is the younger
state and we are just awaking to the
Governor John T. Morrison, of
Idaho.
fact. The state has got somewhat the
worst of the scrimmage for land in which
the timber speculators, the railroads, the
state and the Federal Government have
been engaged. For Instance, the NortHern
Pacific Railroad was granted every alter
nate section along Its right of . way
through Idaho. Now it Is coming In with
scrip issued to it in other states and Is
locating the even sections, and has thus
obtained a solid belt of land of great
value in many places. But these things
are unavoidable, to some extent. The
only thing to do Is to protect the public
as far as possible?'
Governor Morrison very naturally thinks
Idaho one of the most resourceful and
promising commonwealths In the Union.
"It would be unfair to single out any
industry and say that it especially has
done well in IdaHo. Our wheat crop will
exceed the wheat crop of any other sec
tion in the. Northwest this year. Our
mines are turning out the precious metals
In great abundance. Everything is pros
perous and the tide of Immigration seems
to have set permanently In our direc
tion." The Governor is exceptionally enthusi
astic about the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion to be held in Portland.
"It Is a most Important Exposition,"
said he last night, "whether we view It
from an industrial or an historical stand
point. Idaho is fully awake to its Im
portance and we will have a splendid ex
hibit here In 1905. "We have already ap
propriated $25,000 to prepare an exhibit
for the St. Louis Fair next year and have
also appropriated $10,000 to enlarge the St.
Louis exhibit and then transfer It Intact
to Portland. Idaho will certainly be Tvell
represented at both expositions."
RENEWS COLONIST RATES
NORTHERS' PACIFIC MAKES ITS AX
NOUX CEMENT.
General Passenger Agent Fee Re
nests Snggetitloa Tkat Action "Was
Forced ly Union Pacific.
The .suggestion that the Union Pacific
forced the hand of the other northern
lines by putting the colonist rates in ef
fect without awaiting the action of the
Transcontinental Passenger Association is
vigorously resented by Charles S. Fee,
general passenger agent of the Northern
Pacific, who is in the city. As though to
back up his statement advices were re
ceived, yesterday from headquarters in St.
Paul by A. D. Charlton, assistant general
passenger agent, announcing that the
rates would be put in effect by his line
on September 15 and continue until No
vember 15. Mr. Fee said on the subject:
"This newspaper talk that certain of
the northern lines have been 'forced to
put in the colonist rates this Fall is all
tommy rot. I have the best of reasons
for believing thajt the Introduction of one
way colonist rates September 15 to No-
NEW ADJUTANT-GENERAL
W. E. FINZER, OF "VVOODBURX,
vember 30, 1903, originated with a north
ern line, but neither that line nor any
other north coast line has forced, or has
been In position to force, the introduction
of these or any other through rates. Tne
Union Pacific may have anticipated what
was determined upon after the fullest
conference and announced this rate first.
but that the proposition originated with
them, or that the Union Pacific forced the
rates against the opposition of even a
single line engaged in north coast tramc
is absurd.
"The Northern Pacific's passenger traffic
has been, and still continues, very heavy.
As I stated recently, we have not been
working very hard on Grand Army busi
ness, but there never has been a time
when we have lessened our efforts to se
cure settlers. Summer and "Winter, Spring
and Fall, have all been alike to us so
far as concerns this feature of our work,
and each year of the past 20 we have cir

Pacific Coast generally. The Northern
Pacific was the pioneer among railways in
advertising the resources of Idaho, Ore
gon and "Washington. During a period of
three years prior to the time there was

not less than 40,000 people per annum on
colonist tickets, and I venture the asser
tion that nine-tenths of these people

the growth and development of the coun

field, with greater Interests In California
or other sections, have only recently rec
ognized the importance of Oregon, "Wash
ington and the Pacific Northwest, they
should not In their new-found zeal forget
the fact that there are others."
The rates are the same as those in ef
fect last season and are only good west
bound. They are designed for people who
come west to stay and are different In
this respect from homeseekers' rates,
which are intended for people who come
west to look over the ground, pick out a
home and return East to prepare for the
move. For this reason homeseekers' rates
are made for the round trip. The colonist
rates will be In effect from September 15
to November 30, inclusive of both dates,
and are:
From St. Paul, Minneapolis. Duluth and
Missouri River points to all Pacific Coast
terminals from Vancouver and "Victoria
, on the north to Ashland on the south, $25.
From Chicago to the same Pacific Coast
terminals, $30.
From St. Louis to the same Pacific
Coast terminals, $30.
To Spokane common points, $2.50 less
than the Pacific Coast rates.

Just returned from a meeting of the di

day confirmed the reported dlscoyery of a
pass through the Cascade Mountains, be
tween the line of the Great Northern and
the intematlional boundary, of a lower
elevation than any one at the present
time used by a transcontinental railroad.
His company, he said, had agreed to pay
the discoverer $5000 for Information as to
where It existed. The company's sur

the line from here to Spokane has been
taken through the pass by the discoverer,
and its report confirms his.
Mr. Donovan said that his road would
be built through Spokane, but. he denied
that it had been acquired by the Union
Pacific. That road will reach the Sound
over It, but other roads, he declared,
would have the same privilege.

TO JUDGE ROBERTS TODAY
Formal Charges to Be Filed, and
Committee "Will Hold Court.
The investigation of the conduct of Spe
cial Officer Roberts has been, postponed
until this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The po

then meet arid examine the formal charges
which It Is promised will be lodged against
the officer before that hour. Up to last
evening no written charges had been made.
Councilman A. F. Flegel has been re
tained as an attorney to represent certain
persons Interested In the Investigation. Ho
wished to have more time to prepare evi
dence against the officer.
The members of the police committee
look upon the Informal charges with little
favor.
"It's perfectly ridiculous," said Slg
Sichel last evening. "What can be done
with Roberts unless formal charges are
preferred In writing against him?"
The police committee has manifestly no
desire whatever to make any personal in
vestigation of the condition of affairs in
the North End which makes it possible
for the specials to receive money regu
larly from the women they protect. The
two men officially at the head of the po
lice department declare they wish to make
no personal visits to the Bad Lands, as,
from their position, they villi sit as Judges
upon the officer In question when he is
brought before them. Apparently what
evidence can be brought against Roberts
must be obtained and told at the Investi
gation by supposedly disinterested parties.
The police committee Is a judicial organ
ization. It says, not one which can see or
do anything for itself.

GOOD CASE AGAINST DAVIS
Taconia Police Expect to Convict Man
Suspected of Sellvrood Hold-Up.
After six weeks of apparently fruitless
spjiro.h th detectives now feel sure htat
one of the men who held up the Sellwood
car on tne nignt or July is wumn
the tolls and cannot escape punishment.
Detectives Simmons and Day returned
from Tacoma where they Investigated the
charges made against Joe Davis, the man
upon whom was found a watch positively
Identified by D. Bradley, of Sellwood as
the- time piece stolen from him on the
night of the famous hold-up.
He's a tough-looking customer," said
Detective Simmons. "He says he's 19 years
old, but he Is every bit of 25 or more. "We
told him that the man he shot in the 'hold
up was dead. He just laughed and said
they could hang him If they wanted to.
"The Tacoma police believe they have a
strong case against him. If this falls down,
We have a far better and much stronger
case against him In Portland, so it seems
as though he would get It one way or an
other. The watch has been identified, and
that is pretty conclusive evidence. I hard
ly know what to make of the man. He
doesn't seem to care about anything. Just
the same he Is a hard-looking customer.
He was In jail for four days In Tacoma
with a 44-callber revolver in his trouser
leg before it was discovered. Sometimes
the man who searches prisoners Is not
very careful, when the people In Ta
coma get through with the man, we will
have a chance at him."
Detective Joe Day agrees with Captain
of Detectives Simmons In his opinion of
the alleged highwayman, found by Officer
Laswell In a box car two weeks after
the hold-up had occurred in Portland. It
was merely by a chance that the man was
found In the car, and at the time he was
arrested It was not thought that he had
any connection with the car hold-up In
Tacoma or the Sellwood car robbery in
Portland.
MRS BOWERS WANTS
AID
Sister of Alleged Poisoner "Will Go
to San Francisco.
Though the sisters of Mrs. Maria
Bowers,' the suspected San Francisco
husband-poisoner, still stoutly refuse to
be Interviewed on the subject of their
sister's incarceration, they admit receiv
ing a telegram from the imprisoned wom
an asking for immediate aid. "Am in
great trouble. Plc'ase comehere Imme
diately."
Mre. Jones, the sister who received the
call for assistance, lives on Tillamook
street. According to the statement she
made yesterday the cry for aid will be
answered and she expects to go to San
Francisco In a few days.
Both Mrs. Bowers and Mrs. Caroline
Sutton, the other sister, who was held as
an accomplice In the alleged poisoning of
Martin L. Bowers, have had a stormy
matrimonial career. F. B. Jones, the well-
known owner of several tugboats of the
Willamette, was husband No. 1. He was
divorced from her. After a venture with
a man named Allen In San Francisco, an
other divorce followed. This time she
married Bowers, the man she Is suspected
of poisoning.
Mrs. Root, another sister of Mrs. Bow
ers, living In Fulton, says that Bowers
was far from an Ideal husband.
"Bowers used to run the Union Depot
saloon In Oregon City. That was In 1SS0.
His former wife was accustomed to walk
around Portland with a shotgun under
her arm and two dogs following her.
Bowers ran away with the hired girl one
night, but his wife and the police found
them-In a lodging-house. Bowers deserted
the girl and went back to his wife. After
ward Bowers left wife No. 1 In Seattle and
sklDDed out with $7000. This wife is still
In Seattle. My sister met him in San
Francisco and they were married there.'
WANTS RAILWAY.
Public Meeting Is Called Saturday to
Discuss Project.
FAIRVIEW, Or., Aug. 31. (Special.)
A public meeting has been called for next
Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, the pur
pose of which is to consider matters rela
tive to the construction of an electric
railway from Portland to this place and
Troutdale by way of the Columbia Slough
and Sandy roads. All who feel themselves
Interested In the movement are requested
to be present that the proposed enterprise
may have the benefit of their active sup
port. The call for this meeting Is signed by J.
F. O'Shca, A- L. Stone, Napoleon Davis.
J. A. Johns and S. F. Scott. "The matter
of an electric railway from Portland has
been agitated for several weeks and a
right of way Is assured through private
property for almost the entire distance,
and a committee will be appointed to
wait on all the electric railway companies
with a proposition to offer the franchise
thus secured to the one which will guar
antee the most desirable service and put
a road through, the soonest.
Some efforts have been made to get a
franchise along the county roads from the
County Court and it Is probable that a
portion of the line would have to be built
there. In this connection -it Is reported

1. STRUMPTS CURE
A PEORIA MERCHANT KNOWS ASPEC1-
HC FOR RHEUMATISM.
He Speaks From Experience, for He
Tried the Remedy Himself In a
Case of Several Years' Standing.
In Peoria, III., everybody knows Mr.
A. Strumpf, whose fur store is located
at No. 419 Main street. Mr. Strumpf s
business takes him to New York City
frequently, and on one of these trips he
learned of a specific for the cure of
rheumatism, which he tried with, such
unexpectedly good results that he is
anxious that others should know of it.
He says:
"Nearly everybody can tell youNjf a
remedy for rheumatism, but during" the
long years that I suffered from this dis
ease I never heard of "but one thing that
would cure it. I tried it myself, and
haven't had a touch of rheumatism
since. In my case the disease did not
trouble me all the time, but at intervals
the pain was very severe and medicine
did not seem to have the least effect
on it. On one of my visits to New York
a friend who had been cured of rheuma
tism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People advised me to try them.
He was so enthusiastic that I did so,
and the result surprised me, for I had
almost despaired of a permanent cure.
The pains began to disappear before I
had finished the first box, and three
boxes completely cured me. That was
nearly two years ago, so you see my
cure was permanent. I recommend Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills every chance I get,
and know of .many people whom the
pills have benefited."
Rheumatism is always painful, but
few people know how really dangerous
It Is on account of the liability that it
may attack the heart. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are especially well adapted
for the treatment of this trouble
through the blood (the only correct
way), and their power In all disorders
of the blood and nerves makes them of
the greatest value in such stubborn
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, nervous headache, after-effects
of the grip, of fevers, and of. other
acute diseases, palpitation of the heart,
anaemia, pale and sallow complexions
and all forms of weakness.

Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.
Y., fifty cents per boxr six boxes for
two dollars and a half.
AST AND HATTJBE iu
White flour is made from wheat. So is
whiskey. But neither one can be said to
he a physiological food. Neither one rep
resents those superb qualities native to
the wheat and that Nature designed for
her children. White flour, like whiskey, is
the product of Art not of Nature. It is,
indeed, merely a part of the perfectwhole.
On the other hand, in Shredded Whole
Wheat Biscuit, made from the entire
i wheat kernel, we have a food that has not
been stripped of one single organic ele
ment. It represents the complete grain
just as the soil, the rain, and the sunshine
produced It. No effort to Improve on the
work of the Great Master Builder. In this
food we have every property to build and
maintain every part of the body. De
fective teeth and weak nerves evidence

THE DOCTORS AGREE.
Two Physicians Both Agree on the
New Scientific Dandruff Treatment.
Dr. J. M. Powell, of Spokane, Wash.,

Dr. W. G. Alban, of Walla Walla.
Wash., says: "I find Herplclde all that
is claimed for It as a dandruff cure. I
shall prescribe it." Dandruff Is a germ
