WELL KNOWN AND LIKED In Business Here SO Tears Gave Much to Charity and to Help Krienis -Bad Investments Tarn His Mind. The news of the death of Charles E. Holmes, better known In Portland and vicinity as "Doc." has been received here with considerable regret. He was one of the best-known, characters In Portland, having been engaged In traveling; out of Portland, and later in the tobacco and newspaper agency business for over 20 years. He was about 60 years of age. and until some three months ago. when he suffered some reverses in several investments he made, he had enjoyed the best of health. These reverses seemed to affect him con siderably, and for a time he was sent to a private sanitarium to recover from the state of nervous collapse into which he had been thrown. His condition, however, was not greatly improved, and at lus own expressed wish he was sent East to some relatives by bis Portland friends. On his arrival at Cape May, N. J., his condition was considerably worse than when he left Portland, and gradually grew worse, untU he succumbed to the Inevitable about one week ago. "Doc" Holmes was one of the most genial, whole-souled fellows In Oregon, and was widely known for his -liberality toward charitable institutions or worthy but needy individuals. Among his closest friends in Portland were Dr. C. Cor nelius. John Rooney. Henry D. Griffin and other prominent members of the Portland Lodge of Elks, of which organi sation the deceased was also a' member. JOHN BARRETT IS COMING Will Visit Portland and Probably Deliver Puhllc Address. John Barrett, an Oregonian who has won fame of late years, will visit Port land from October 15 to 21. Mr. Barrett Is now on his way from California to Seattle, where he will confer with the directors of th Alaska-Tukon-Pacific exposition regarding the participation of the Latin-American Republics in the 1908 fair. Mr. Barrett, who is widely known as the ex-Minlster to Siam, is now the director of the International Bureau of the American Republics. As the head of this department of the United States Government, Mr. Barrett has accomplished a great work, in ce menting the commercial relations be tween the South American states and this country. Mr. Barrett will stop at Stockton and Sacramento on his way north and will visit Medford October 13 and Eugene the following day as the guest of the local commercial organisations- He will be shown considerable attention by the commercial organizations while in Portland and will probably make an address here. He will leave on the 21st for Seattle and will return East by way of Spokane and Minneapolis. Purchasing Agent In City. Thomas Tipton, general purchasing agent for the Denver & Rio Grande, is spending a few days in Portland, and is looking into the purchase, of various supplies here for his company. Eastern it-Aar. already very heavy pur chasers of Oregon fir for ties, timbers and lumber, used in structures on rail roads and in station -buildings. Mr. Tipton will, doubtless, place orders here for o.uite a large amount of lumber and timbers before leaving for the return trip to headquarters. MAY ARREST DR. CARDWELL Fails to Report Case of Diphtheria, Says Health Office. Dr. Mae H. Cardwell, formerly a member of the Board of Health, and one of the most prominent physicians in Portland, is liable to arrest and pro secution for failure to report a case of diphtheria to the authorities. Other physicians may also be forced to de fend themselves for the same offense. The case wherein Dr. Cardwell fig ures Is that of Mary Burns, living at 503 Mill street, who was recently ill with diphtheria. Dr. Cardwell was called in to attend the case, but is charged by assistant Health Officer Parker with failure and neglect to re port the case to his office until he had been informed of lt by Professor Kig glns, principal of the Ladd school. Dr. Esther C. Pohl, City Health offi cer, who has been on her vacation for two weeks, returned yesterday and took up the affair at once. She ex pressed the belief that any physiciam who does not report contagious dis eases to the office immediately should be arrested and prosecuted, and said that she will consider this feature of the case at a meeting to be held this morning, when all of the facts are to be talked over.
