Suspect Held In Jatl Pending Fur

SAN FRANCISCO.. Sept. 4. In an
effort to determine responsibility for
the death of the woman known as Alice
Donahue, the police of Oakland, ac
cording to a report tonight, will pro
ceed on the theory that Joseph Berry,
whom Daniel Donahue virtually ac
cused of the murder before his suicide,

Detectives Peterson, with the co
operation of authorities about the bay,
to authorize a search for Berry's body,
arc-ulna; that his failure to appear and
clear himself of the charjre made by
Donahue Indicates that he is unable
to do so.
An elaboration of this theory, which
is admitted to be little more than
guesswork, is that Donahue and Berry
both possessed information concerning;
the woman's death, and that Donahue,
fearing; exposure, sought and obtained
the aid of a third man. whose identity
Is stringly hinted at. and silenced the
man who is said to have been the first
husband of Mrs. Donahue.
Arkell Will Be Held.
Because of the discovery of certain

dead woman in the home of Gustavo.
Arkell. the latter, it was announced to
night, will not be released from custody
until hLs connection with the case is
thoroughly cleared up. A slrieeomb and a
black-bordered handkerchief, both of
which have been positively identified as
having been in possession of the mur
dered woman, constitute the clews to
which considerable importance is at
tached. It is said that Donahue, prior to his
suicide, denied that the comb had be
longed to the woman, and it is the the
ory of the detectives that his refusal 14
Identify the article was prompted by a
desire to shield Arkell.
An exception to the Biblical teaching
that In death there is peace ard eternal
rest seems to have been found in the case
of Mrs. Donahue.
Her Money Not Available.
The remains of the slain woman
occupy a blab at the morgue, as do
those of the man who passed as her
hueband. In the case of the alleged
husband, there Is soon to be a funeral.
Money is In sight with which to defray
the funeral expenses. In the case of
the dead woman, who passed as his
wife, there la a different condition of
affairs. Despite the fact that she was
presumed to have died possessed of
money, insurance policies and Jewels
aggregating a total value of S15.000,
her estate la In such a tangled condi
tion that no funds are available with
which to pay her funeral expenses.
This morning Public Administrator
Oray filed letters of administration In
the murdered woman's estate. It will
take considerable attention of the
courts to straighten out the affairs of
the dead woman.
Donahue, a day or two before he
took his own life, had made funeral ar
rangements for the woman who for
ten years had posed as his legal wife.
He had agreed to pay for a perpetual
car grave In Mountain View Ceme
tery and had made all plans for an
elaborate wake.
Thinks Mystery Insolvable.
Captain Peterson, of the detective
force, stated today that he did not be
lieve all the complications of the case
would ever be cleared up. He Is of the
opinion that Donahue murdered the
woman, and committed suicide rather
than fare a charge of murder.
His theory is that Donahue mur
dered the woman for her money, for
the $3900 insurance and $9000 in the
bank.
ANTI-DUBOIS MEN SCORE
w Ticket Is Accepted, but Dubois
Faction Starts Fight In Courts.
BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 4. The anti-Dubols
faction of the Democratic party in Idaho
scored the first point in the battle between
th two factions for recognition as the

Dubois men at Walle.ce. When the office
of the Secretary of State was opened this

ticket for Idaho. Half an hour later rep
resentatives of the Dubois ticket arrived

sulting the Attorney-4Jeneral. declined to
accept It.
Attorneys for the Dubois faction at once
announced that they would file mandamus
proceedings In the Supreme Court to com
pel the Secretary of State to Hie their
ticket under the party name. It is prob
able that the papers will be filed tomor

KEROSENE LAMP IS CAUSE
Courageous Clerk Rashes Into Blaz
ing Room and Saves Man.
Two fires in two dlffferent rooming
houses In the North End occured within
IS minutes of each other last night,
each being caused by a kerosene lamp.
The first blase occurred at 10 o'clock in
room 81 of the Grand rooming' house
at 45 North Third street.
Charles West, the roomer, attempted
to retire while Intoxicated and upset
the lamp. It struck the floor and ex
ploded. The clerk heard the noise and
ran to the room where he found the
Intoxicated man lying in a drunken
stupor on the floor while the flames
from the burning oil were rapidly eat
ing their way about the room. The
coat of the prostrate man was already
ablaze. West was aroused with diffi
culty and rescued from his perilous po
sition. The flames were partially ex
tinguished with a blanket and when the
firemen arrived a few buckets of water
finished the fire.. West was arrested
and taken to the city Jail for being
drunk. He said that he had Just ar
rived in this city and that his home
was in St. Paul.
A. few minutes later a second alarm
was turned in for a fire in the Cosmo
politan rooming house in the next block
at 51 North Third street. Here a lamp
In room 119. occupied by J. T. Nelson
exploded while Mr. Nelson was prepar
ing to retire. In his endeavors to
throw fragments of the burning lamp
out the window Mr. Nelson was pain
fully cut and slightly burned on his
right hand. The damages in both fires
were trifling.
GRAND ARMY WIL-Ii SUSPEND
APPEALS TO COXGRESS.
Soldiers' Widows Will Let Pension
Agents Bring Up Their Case.
Xext Convention Decided.
TOLEDO. O., Sept. 4. Not for three
years will the Grand Army of the Re
public ask Congress for further relief
measures. It appeared to be the con
sensus of opinion of the leaders that too
much hammering for pension bills and
relief measures might soon create an un
dignified impression in the minds of Con
gressmen and reflect discredit on the
Civil War veterans at the time in their
lives when they would need the most
assistance at the hands of the Nation
they helped to save.
Status of Soldiers' Widows.
Another way will be sought by the vet
erans to get before Congress those bits
of legislation which they feel cannot wait.
The attention of the G. A. R. delegates
was called by Kate Brownlesa Sherwood
to the status of the pending widows' pen
sion bill, in which at present it Is re
quired that applicants shall have been
married a number of years prior to the
present date. ' She asks that the bill may
be altered to allow the eligibility of those
who marry up to the date of the passage
of the bill and that the matter may be
placed In the hands of the pension agents.
The same plan may be used with regard
to the amendment to the service pension
bill.
At the wish of General I. R. Sherwood
his dollar-a-day pension bill was not
brought up for consideration, and a res
olution asking Congress to pay ex-prisoners
of war $2 a day pension was laid
over.
Next Meeting at Salt Lake.
After the Installation of the newly-elected
National officers at the morning ses
sion today, the G. A. R. delegates decided
upon Salt Lake City as the next meeting
place by a vote of 461 to 104 for Washing
ton. After Salt Lake City had been
chosen for the encampment. Vice -Commander-in-Chief
Scott ndtified the en
campment that Atlanta would be in the
field for 1910.

Fourth and Sherman Streets.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 4. (Special.)
The Railroad Commission, after in
vestigating the collision between a
street car and locomotive at the cross
ing at Fourth and Sherman streets.
Portland, finds that the accident could
have been avoided had- the conductor
of the street car flagged his car at
the ciossli.f,. and the recommendation
to the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company is that it require its
conductors to precede their cars over
Sherman street crossing and flag the
cars to where It is safe to proceed.
In conducting its findings the com
mission intimates that if the Portland
City Council does not take steps to
correct the dangerous conditions at
crossings the commission will take a
hand.

While it is not natural for everyone to have extremely long hair, it is possible for every lady
to have beautiful hair, for when the scalp is not diseased the hair will grow naturally and
abundantly. ,
The chief disease of the scalp is dandruff which is highly contagious and dandruff is
now known to be caused by an invisible vegetable growth called the dandruff germ. Ordinar
ily, the first signs of scalp infection are dryness, dullness and brittleness of the hair, although
the disease sometimes causes excessive oiliness. Following this, the hair loses its luster, the
scalp itches more or less and dandruff appears. Falling hair and baldness represent the last
stages of hair destruction.
Newbro's Herpicide the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ will cure any
stage of this disease, except chronic baldness, which is incurable. Herpicide not only de
stroys the dandruff germ and stops falling hair, but it is a most exquisite hair dressing,
making the hair light and fluffy and giving it a silken gloss. Almost marvelous results
sometimes follow the continued use of Herpicide. It stops itching of the scalp almost in
stantly. Two Sizes, 50c and $1 at Drugstores Send 10c in Stamps to the Herpicide Co., Dept. N. Detroit, Michigan, for a Sample

"I am blessed with an abundance of long hair and I use the
utmost care in the preservation of it. I have never found any
thing that pleases me as much as Newbro's Herpicide. It keeps
the scalp clean and sanitary and adds a luxurious appearance
to my hair that no other preparation will give. I consider it
most delightful to use and I can truly say that I prefer it above
