FURIOUS ITCHING
HUMOR ON CHILD
ARREST FOR SMALL THEFT
H. J. Cullnson an Example of Moral
Precepts Gone Wrong George
Voght, as Peacemaker, Re
ceive a Black Eye.
Gold, diamond and other Jewelry of
that kind are no longer Bought by the
festive burglar. The up-to-date thief now
xoes In for woofl, a thing which the fuel
barons have made nearly as precious as
reins. "Wood thieves have become num
erous and nearly every day the theft of
a quantity of fuel, great or small. Is
reported to the police.
The first of these operators to come
into the clutehca of the law is Lester
Seymour. Seymour stole a 'dozen sticks
of wood from J. Parker, a neighbor. In
South Portland. Ordinarily the wood
mtsht never have been missed but in
thepo days of fabulous prices and small
supply a dozen sticks of wood were not
to be scoffed at. The victim not only
secured a warrant of arrest but took
measures to secure the return of his
property.
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of Municipal Judge Cameron yester
day forenoon. Seymour set up the plea
The Wood-Bin of the Future.
that he had to resort to theft in order
to Kct fuel. There was no other way.
The fuel barons would not let him have
any; he had a sick wife and the house
had to be kept warm. His story was
very sad. notwithstanding that the police
found his cellar to contain two full cords
of dry wood.
Seymour will be sentenced this week,
his case not yet having been passed upon.
The charge is petit larceny and probably
he will get not more than a month in the
County Jail, at most. But with the ex
isting values it is urged that the theft
of wood will sooner or later have to be
established as sc felony along with rob
bery, embezzlement and other high-class
crimes.
In fact it is not improbable that a com
plete reorganization of present qfonomlo
conditions will become imperative un
less prices are returned to a consistent
relation to the really liberal supply, so
it is urged. It may then be necessary
to establish wood as the predominant
medium of exchange at a ratio of, say
is splinters to one silver dollar. Corpora
tions would then be judged, as to their
solidity, from the number of cords of
wood In the treasury. Tho hapless house
keeper, before going home from shopping,
could step around to the bank and issue
a check for a few sticks of wood, suf
ficient to cook the next day's meals. The
woodbln no longer would be a contrivance
of wood or metal but, a chilled-steel,
burglar-proof safe, equipped with a time
lock and other safety devices. Following
the probable evolution of the fuel trust
still further, wood might be made the
fashionable article for personal adorn
ment and the properly attired lady of the
liear future might oome to be envied for
the wonderfully valuable wooden rings in
her ears, nose and at other points of
vantage. From present Indications the
possibilities are Infinite.
H. J. Culllnson is a living refutation of
the moralist's best arguments. Cullnson
never drank liquor, never used tobacco,
never indulged in profanity or broke any
of the commandments. Yet he was on
hand In thft Municipal Court yesterday
forenoon a human wreck, clothed In rags,
unwashed, forlorn, miserable. And he
was the product of his own Industry
rather than of. Indiscretion. For he per
sisted in working out in the rain, believ
ing his constitution was not susceptible
to the ordinary aliments of man. Thus
the demon rheumatism, got hold of him,
tiansfered him promptly from full com
petence to miserable Incompetence and
lft him a vagrant as soon as his savings
had been spent for useless and unrespon
sive medical treatment.
Culllrson told his miserable story to
the court, who believed him for tho
man's face bore a wholesome look of
honesty despite the wretchedness of his
plight. Through tho grime and rags

there was apparent & widadilTerence from

"We are creatures of circumstance of

usual when William Leasch stepped in
as peacemaker and was rewarded with a
black eye. And that wasn't alt he got.
George Voght and one of his friends
were engaged in a fist fight in the
viclnitv of Fourth and Madison streets.
Leasch happened along and his meddle

Voght promptly left off fighting with
his friend and assailed the newcomer.
He administered the blackened eye be

Chamber of Commerce Favors Exten
sion of Industrial Peace Society.
P. II. Scullin, general secretary of
the National Industrial Peace Associa
tion, reports that he is meeting with
success in his efforts to establish a
Portland branch of the association he
represents. Scullin is interesting many
prominent citizens in his project. They
are being enrolled as members of a so
ciety that expects to effect an organi
zation some time next week. At its
regular meeting yesterday, Scullin ad
dressed the Chamber of Commerce,
which adopted resolutions indorsing
the plan. Last night Scullin spoke be
fore the Realty Board and the Manufac
turers' Association. The following are
the resolutions that were adopted by
the Chamber of Commerce:
Whereas, P. H. Scullin. general secretary
of the National Industrial Tcace Associa
tion, appeared before the trustees of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce. April 2,
1907, and explained the objecta of said as
sociation; therefore be It
Resolved. That the plan of the National
Industrial Peace Association for establish
ing boards of arbitration and conciliation
for the settlement of labor disputes and for
the dissemination of free literature for edu
cational purposes as presented to this
chamber by P. H. Scullin should be com
mended and supported. We therefore Indorse
the plan to brine; about better relations be
tween labor and capital and promise our
moral support in such undertaking.
TAKE OFFICE ON APRIL 15
Change in St. Johns City Admin
istration Xot Immediate.
The newly elected city officials of St.
Johns "will enter on their duties two
weeks from Monday. The old officers
will be In office until that time and the
Council will hold at least one more regu
lar meeting. Under the present charter
the Mayor appoints the City Attorney
and the City Engineer and Chief of Po
lice. While Mr. Couch has not Intimated what
he will do. the impression in St. Johns
Is that le will not reappoint the pres
ent officials.
The Mayor-elect says, however, that Ire
had made no promises to anybody about
anything and that he is untrammeled.
Free Water and Mr. Wagnon.
PORTLAND, April 2. (To the Editor.')
I see that The Oregonlan la calling the free
water amendment the "Wagnon amend
ment." which is not correct, as it Is the one
amendment that was from the people, as it
was drawn y a Joint committee from the
Federated Trades Council and the Free
Water Association. So It Is the amendment
of the people of Portland, as they are rep
resented In the trades. The people who do
the work of Portland, the people who built
Portland and the people who make the land
that Portland is built on valuable they are
the ones who have submitted the free
water amendment, and it Is the only amend
ment that has a petition filed with 2700
names signed to It. I do not complain be
cause my name is associated with this
righteous amendment. But it Is not fair
in me to allow The Oregonlan to do so, as
organised labor Is entitled to most of the
credit, and the other gentlemen Who com
posed the Free Water Association are co
workers and must not be left out.

streets, cement sidewalks, telephones, electric lights and rapid transportation. These
influences all help. Natural environment is a powerful incentive for higher prices; No spot in the
Northwest is more highly favored in this respect than Rose City Park. The mountains, the hills, the
valleys, the rivers and the snow-capped peaks are always in sight, as well as the natural magnificence
of Rose City Park itself, hence a better investment.
But, even more effective than all these is the fact that Rose City Park lots have been placed on the
market at prices which are within the reach of all. This makes the demand larger than it other
wise would be. This makes it possible for more people to buy; more to build; more to improve.
Not the least potent argument in favor of Rose City Park, as an investment proposition, is the
eloquent statement that IT IS IN PORTLAND! Hence, the best investment.
Call at our office any dav and accompany us in one of our automobiles to
Kose City Park. You can buy lots there now for S4O0 a 600. The terms
re ho raiT that there is scarcely a citizen of Portland who cannot purchase with
out the slightest inconvenience. Attend to this today.

BETRAYED BY ACID TEST
ALBERT SMITH TRIES TO SELL
ALLOY AS GOLD.
Glib Tulker, ('Induing to Be From
Alaska, Held by Police as
Confidence Man.
Albert Smith, who was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Policeman Goltz,
after a chase through the North End,
is believed to be a clever bunco man.
lie was endeavoring to sell smelted
gold ore for $15 an ounce in a pawn
shop conducted by S. Garflnkle, 31
North Third street. The broker ac
cused Smith of being a swindler, and
Smith took to his heels.
Policeman Goltz saw Smith run out
of the pawnshop and gave chase. Smith
proved to be a sprinter of considerable
ability, and gave the officer a long
stern chase before he was captured at
Fourth and Couch streets.
When taken to police headquarters
and examined by Chief Gritzmacher,
Smith had regained his self-possession,
and declared most emphatically
that the contents of the vial he car
ried was gold, valued at $15 an ounce
and easily worth that sum.
Chief Gritzmacher instructed Police
man Goltz to take the vial to an assay
er for analysis. This test proved the
"gold" to be nothing but a mixture
used for welding, and the acid turned
it first yellow and then blue, finally
dissolving- it.
Despite his protests. Smith was
locked up and charged with attempting
to obtain money by false pretenses. He
will have a hearing this morning in
the Municipal Court.
Smith asserted that he was from
Nome, and is said to have sold some
of his mixture to Portland people for
gold ore. He was dressed like a typi
cal Alaskan miner. He defied the
police to prove him guilty of a crime,
and dared them to do their worst.
The police say the man's'name is not
Smith, and that he has been in trouble
before. His record is being looked into
by Policeman Goltz, who will endeavor
to show that the prisoner is a confi
dence man of wide acquaintance in
police circles.
Smith said he had tried to dispose
of some of the "gold" at Portland
banks, but they refused to purchase it.
The police say the stuff is so like gold
in appearance that nothing but an acid
test reveals Its true character.
Daughter Is His Accuser.
David Van Houghton, a horsetrader who
gained notoriety two years ago by mur
dering Al Young, a saloonkeeper, because
of Young's alleged attentions to Mrs.
Van Houghton, was placed on trial in
the State Circuit Court yesterday on a
charge blacker than murder. The com
plaining witness is Van Houghton's 11-year-old
daughter. Van Houghton claims
that the charge against him is the re-
suit of a conspiracy in which Detective
Hawley, of the Juvenile Court, is in
volved. The case probably -will go to tho
jury today.
MEET THEIR NEW PASTOR
Congregation of First Presbyterinn
Church Tender Him Reception.
A reception was last night tendered
by members of his congregation to
Rev. William Hiram Foulkes, the new
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church. It was1 held in the church par
lors. A number of pastors of other
Protestant churches of the city were
among the guests. Rev. Clarence True
Wilson, of Grace Methodist Church;
Ttev. A. W. Wilson, pastor of the First
United Presbyterian Church; Rev. L. M.
Boozer, Moderator of the Presbytery
of Portland, and Robert Livingstone,
an elder of the Presbyterian Church,
were the speakers of the evening.
Dr. Wilson welcomed the new pas
tor, saying that when Mr. Foulkes
spoke from the pulpit he would not
only speak to his congregation, but
would also Influence the future of the
city. Dr. Wilson said that people who
come from Iowa usually boast of that
fact, so he supposed the new pastor
had already told the congregation from
which state he came. He told of the
many opportunities Mr. Foukes would
find here for ministry. Mr. Boozer
said that bees coming back to the hive
laden with the sweets from thousands
of the flowers which God had kissed
into being with his glorious sunshine,
sometimes fall short of the mark.
"I have gathered from the hearts of
my brethren a fragrant tribute to
bring to .you tonight, but in bringing
it I reel that 1 shall fall short of the
mark," he continued.
Mr. Livingstone concluded his re
marks by the witticism that the church
welcomed not onlv the -big "Foulkes"
but the little "Foulkes."
DRINKS CARBOLIC ACID
Mrs. May Chappelle Makes Dramatic
Attempt at Suicide.
Mrs. May Chappelle, who lives at
the Logan House on Union avenue and
Fast Alder street, attempted to commit
suicide in a dramatic manner by drink
ing carbolic acid in the presence of
two acquaintances of ber own sex
about 10 o'clock last night.
That she did not succeed was due
to the interference of one of the wom
en, who struck her arm and knocked
the poison out of her hands.
Mrs. Chappelle says she had bad
trouble with her husband, who is a
bartender In Jack Penney's saloon at
Water and East Morrison streets. City
Physician Zelgler and Dr. L. Bruce
attended the woman. The former says
she will recover.

Why ?
For many reasons.
It is unexcelled as a place for a home, This creates
demand which raises the price; hence, a good investment.
It is close in; on a car line and only 15 minutes' ride
These three points have an exhilarating effect upon prices.
Building of homes has commenced. Every nail
that is driven; every board that is placed; every brick that
is set; every home that is completed serves to increase
prices. These are additional reasons why.
More reasons are to be found in the improvements
that are being installed'. These is Bull Run water, graded

Vinol repairs worn tissues and

strengthens every organ In the body.
In this natural manner Vinol replaces
