Is beina given to the dance hails, vaudeville

Out-of-town girls are sent home whenever
possible. 1V have succeeded In getting tact

will be a strong safeguard, we are sure.
We ha,Ve also secured permiewion from the

on that line, directing women and girls to

DOG
HOLMES
DEAD
Popular Portland Man Passes
Away in East.
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.
