healers in jail
"Great Fer-Don" and Assist
ant Taken to City Prison.
REFUSE TO PRODUCE BAIL
Charge Against Pair Is Practicing
Medicine Without License They
Threaten to Bring Damage Suit
Against City of Portland.
05. E. French, otherwise known in,
Portland and the Northwest as "The
Great Fer-Don." healer and all-round
benefactor of mankind, according to his
own advertisements, was unceremoni
ously thrust into the City Jail last
night, when he was arrested on a war
rant issued yesterday at the request of
Jacob A. Postell, of Tacolt, Wash.
Seth Wells, an assistant, was taken
into custody at the same time. Both
prisoners are charged with practicing
medicine without a license.
"The Great Fer-Don," when placed
under arrest in his offices, at Park and
Washington streets, by Detective-Sergeant
Baty, was indignant, and vowed
vengeance on the' city and upon his
accuser. When taken to police head
quarters, he and his partner refused to
furnish bail, although they said they
had lots of money. They intimated
that they would languish In Jail to get
a touch of humiliation, pain, mental
anguish and other things necessary to
the filing of a suit for damages against
the city, and Captain Slover quickly
accommodated them by assigning them
to "room No. 6," which, being stripped
of Its more soft-sounding title. Is cell
No. 6 of the justly famed City Jail.
There "The Great Fer-Don" and his
partner spent the night.
"The Great Fer-Don" reached Port
land several weeks ago. He announced
his arrival by engaging brass bands
and special cars over the downtown
lines of the streetcar company, and
with flaming signs, saying that ha was
here with all his healing powers, and
that the suffering ones of this great
city might come to him and receive
health, strength and happiness.
Among those who flocked to "The
Great Fer-Don," was Postell, who sub
mitted himself for an examination.
This, he states, revealed to the scien
tists that Postell was in very poor
condition, especially as to his ears, and
he required about $67 worth of atten
tion, he says, the doctors assured him.
Not having the necessary amount,
Postell states that he tried to enter
Into an agreement with "The Great
Fer-Don" to treat him and accept In
stallments in payment, but he could
not effect this style of arrangement,
mid finally paid down $7 for ji'treat
nirnt. It did no good, he states, and he
decided to sue to collect his money.
Therefore, through a lawyer, Postell
instituted legal proceedings and
Httached the offices of "The Great
Fer-Don" in Lower Albtna Tuesday.
Yesterday he took the second step and
caused the arrest of the two men for
practicing medicine without a license.

AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
Best of Vaudeville at Grand.
It will probably be many days before
Portland gees another such great vaudeville
entertainment as that which is at the Grand
this week. Harding and Ah Sid have an
acrobatic pantomime act, "Fun in a Chinese
Laundry." which la a trifle better than other
gymnastic acts, and Mile. Olive is the most
proficient woman Jjuggler tn the world. The
Luts brothers give a notable act of special
ties and tha four Masons, with their country
school sketch are good comedians.
Superior Show at Pantages.
Heavy patronage again thia week demon
strates the public's appreciation of Pantages

acta in many a day on hand this week

novel. There la only one such act tn the
world and It Is presented by Captain Henry,

That is part of the programme for
the celebration of the next Fourth of
July.
It has been decided that in addition
to the regular fireworks display at
the Exposition grounds, fireworks
shall be put off on the tops of the
mountains seen from Portland.
On the nipht of the 3d it is intended
to have a "plug ugly" parade under the
management of Fred T. Merrill and a
committrte, the members of which ex
pressed themselves last night in favor
of having fuu without allowing "rough
house' to enter tnto the proceedings.
It has been practically decided that
the oration and other literary exer
cises will be held in the Empire Thea
ter, Manager George L. Baker having
donated the use of the playhouse for
the purpose.
The parade committee has about
concluded its programme for the day's
street display, and from present indi
cations the parade will surpass those
of previous years, inasmuch as many
civio organizations have Indicated
their intention to apply for assignment
In the line that never before took part
in the National celebration.
Judge Stephen A- Lowell, of Pendle
ton, has accepted the Invitation of the
committee to deliver the oration, and
will be heard at the Empire Theater
on the morning of the Fourth.
Many sporting events have been ar
ranged for the two days' exercises, the
most notable of which will be boat
races on the river.
There was a misunderstanding Tues
day night which resulted in quite a
mix in the arrangements of the Fourth
of July general committee meeting.
The Chamber of Commerce tendered
the use of its assembly-room to the
Fourth committee and the assistant
secretary. Frank T. Nicklin. took up
his quarters in the room, and every
thing seemed to be moving along In a
perfectly satisfactory way. Tuesday
night there was to havo been a meet
ing at the Chamber of the several
committees, composed of leading citi
zens who have devoted their time to
promoting the celebration. When they
arrived at the building, they found the
room dark, and were informed by the
janitor that his instructions were that
no lights were to be turned on except
through orders from Major Silva, su
perintendent of the building.
It was found that Mr. Silva was out
of the city and would not return for a
day or two, so the chairman adjourned
the meeting until Friday night at the
Commercial Club, when final reports
wiil be received and details of the sev
eral features settled.
Secretary Giltner, of the Chamber of
Commerce, said yesterday that he was
taken completely by surprise by the
action of the superintendent, aa he was
under the Impression that th Cham
ber was privileged to have the use of
their rooms at night as well as day.
The Chamber took no formal action
yesterday oa the matter, both Presi
dent Reed and Secretary Giltner de
ciding to await the return of Mr. Silva
before entering into any new arrange
ments for quarters where the body
would have use of rooms at their discretion.
HAILSTORM SPOILS ROSES
HIGH TVIXD, ACCOMPANIED BI
KAIX, SWEEPS OVER CIT1T.
Sudden Squall Comes From South
and Rapes Violently fop Fif
teen Minutes.
During a squall that came suddenly
yesterday afternoon, the wind-attained a
velocity of 30 miles an hour, the tempera
ture dropped 14 degrees in 15 minutes,
and in a period covering two and a half
minutes .08 inch of rain fell. The storm
lasted a quarter of an hour and during
six minutes of that time the rain fell
in torrents. The Government gauge
showed .13 inch to have fallen between
2.15 and 2.21 P. M.
The wind came up suddenly and blew
directly from the South. During the
height of the storm it was impossible to
see for a distance of 100 yards. Umbrel
las were practically useless and people
who were far from shelter were wet
through.
Shortly before noon there was a violent
hail storm. Hail stones as large as peas
fell. Horses were badly frightened and
drivers had difficulty in controlling their
teams. The storm was local in its ex
tent. Between 12 o'clock, noon, June 11 and S
o'clock P. M.. June 12, 0.39 inches of rain
fell. Since June, 1.02 Inches have fallen.
The recorded rainfall for the year begin
ning September 1, 1906, up to 6 o'clock
P. St., yesterday, was 43.21. Following the
storms of yesterday the Weather Bureau
predict fair and warmer weather. Winds
will shift to the North and Summer
weather will be on top again.
The river began falling yesterday morn
ing and will drop to 18.2 feet by Saturday.
The Upper Columbia and the Snake are
falling. While the Weather Bureau will
not predict river conditions for a greater
period than five days in advance, the
prospects for a flood are diminishing rap
idly. The river at Portland has re
mained stationary for five days. A large
part of the snow In the foothills- has
melted and to raise the Willamette at
Portland above the 20-foot mark would re
quire a protracted season of hot weather.
Government records on high water, cov
ering a period of 31 years show that
the crest of the floods usually comes on
or before June 10. The high water of
1854 reached the highest point June 7.
The hall and severe rain storms of yes
terday did considerable damage to rose
bushes and fruit trees In Portland. The
foliage was injured as the hail stones
went through the leaves, The roses
which were in bloom were spoiled.

The little touch of Winter that descend
ed upon Portland yesterday morning and
the June shower that passed through the
city just about baseball-game time, was
just enough to call off the second gams
scheduled between- Portland and Los
Angeles. About 2 o'clock Manager Mc
Credle went out to the grounds, looked
things over and decided to play ball. He
failed to consult the weather man, - so
there was nothing doing.
While the rain was coming down and
doing stunts with expense accounts? Hi
Henry Berry, manager of the Los Ange
les team, found time to discuss the 'Ross
affair. Boss belongs to Los Angeles, and
if he does not play with Portland, Man
ager Berry declares he will make Ross
Join his team. When Dugdals was forced
to stop playing Ross in Seattle the out
fielder came to Portland with as mushy
a baseball tale as has been told in many
a moon. Ross gave as his excuse for not'
wanting to Join McCredie that his arm
was sore. Did Dugdale whisper this to
Artie?
Ross told Manager McCredie that in
spite of his bum whip he was making
good with Dugdale and that he could con
tinue to do so. President Lucas and Dug
dale must have a nice league in the
Northwest if one-armed players can make
good. Nice fast company the fat Seattle
manager has surrounded himself with,
and what great ball the Seattle fans must
be getting when a player with a. bad arm
can make good there, and is afraid that
he cannot make good in the Coast League.
Judging from the street gossip about the
Ross affair, there is a good deal of "con"
talking going on. Ross is willing to ad
mit that he has a bum heaver, but when
it comes to demanding salary, he wants
the pay of a major leaguer. McCredie was
willing to try Ross for two weeks, but
Ross said that he did not know whether
he could fix it with Dugdale. It will pain
Mr. Ross and perhaps Dugdale also, when
they learn of Manager Berry's intention
to claim Ross.

YOUNG MEN GET DIPLOMAS
Annual Commencement Exercises of
Hill Military Academy.
The commencement exercises of the
Hill Military Academy were "held last
night in the Academy armory. Sixteen
young men. comprising the '07 class, were
given their diplomas. A large crowd of
friends of the graduates and patrons of
the Institution gathered in the large hall,
which was profusely decorated with pen
nants, flags, evergreens and flowers.
A musical and literary programme was
furnished by the students of the school,
and a competitive military drill, with two
gold and one silver medals as prizes, was
held on the floor of the armory. The
address of the evening was delivered by
8. G. Reed.
The graduates are Otto Bradley, Merle
Campbell, Walter Gleason. Dean Hayes,
Benjamin Hill, Malcolm MaeEwan, Frank
Scott. Lewis Thompson, Jerome Thorn
and George White, of Portland; Wilbur
Dallas, of Franklin, Pa.; Gerald East
ham, of Osiwego. Or.; Albert Merchant,
of Marshfleld, Or.; Clarence Stoddard,
of Westport, Or., and Charles Taylor, of
Vancouver, Was5. Eight received diplo
mas for the scientific course and the
other eight for the English course.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the entire class,
in full dress uniform of the academy,
marched into the hall and took their
seats. After a short musical programme,
Mr. Reed addressed the graduates. He
said in part:
"T mean by success not . tha mere ac
cumulation of money, for the best ef
forts of the truly successful men are put
forth in directions for the welfare of so
ciety as a whole, and have no pecuniary
return. I refer to the duties of citizen
ship, of labor for upbuilding the com
munity, and of making it a better place
in which to dwell.
"With the ending of your school days
you will end largely the period of depen
dence on others and will begin to decide
for yourselves the things upon which
your futures are to be built. No Hfe is
ever completed without meeting failures
and disappointments and these must be
made the stepping-stones for advance
ment. Never in the history of the world
have such opportunities been presented to
young men. But at the same time there
is required from each one who would
seek large returns a strict adherence to
all things that have been found best for
society. Stated simply, the great basis
on which every man must build his fu
ture is integrity. There is no place for
one who may not be depended upon to
do as he agrees, to speak the truth and
to render an equivalent always lor value
received. In short, be true to yourselves
and then you will be false to no man."
After the diplomas had been dis
tributed the class marched- out of tha
hall. The floor was then cleared for the
drill, all the. spectators, who were occu
pying seats in the center of the hall,
moved back to the wall and left a large
open space in the center. The Judges of
the drill were Captains R. C. Scott and
M. J. Denny, of the Third Regiment, O.
N. G. In the first drill eight of the
larger boys competed and the gold medal
for first place was won by Clarence
Stoddard and a silver medal for second
place was won by Lewis Thompson. Tha
next drill was open to the small boys
only, and the gold medal in this class
was won by Samuel Swiggett.

they found the field too wet. The
game will be played as noon as Mult

school year has ended and all are
anxious to return to their homes.
The teams stand an equal chance of
winning. The first time the two teams

close and fast game. Later Columbia
met the Portland Academy, and lost

Academy and won, to 5. The other
teams. Hill, the East Side High and
Allen were each defeated by the first
three teams. That put 'Columbia,

The Dr. Perkins principle is the creation

such a positively pure, fresh air circulation,

Even the original appearance of the Pianola itself, ten years ago,
did not create a greater enthusiasm than the marvelous "Themodist. "
It has taken over six months to catch up with the advance orders for
this new model of the Pianola, and even now the supply is limited.
In bringing out the melody and subduing the accompaniment, the
"Themodist" achieves the greatest success since the development of
piano players. Unlike any other previous improvement, the "The
modist" does not merely accentuate the treble notes or the bass notes,
but it goes still further, and seeks out the melody wherever it may be
high or low. The "Themodist" is to be found . '
Only With the Pianola
The supremacy of the Pianola is still more decisively emphasized
by this latest and greatest improvement. The "Themodist" accom
plishes the seemingly impossible and marks in the most positive man
ner the great superiority between the Pianola and a host of othsr
piano players which are, at best, but poor imitations.
With the aid of tha Pianola, anyone can play any Piano, and now,
with the "Metrostyle" and "Themodist" Features (exclusive with
the Pianola) any piece can be rendered in a manner rivaling the per- 4,
formance of the greatest virtuosos.
There is but One Genuine Pianola Made Only by The J
Aeolian Co., and Sold Throughout the Pacific Northwest Only f
by the House of Eilers.
