IS MAYOR AFTER
SCALP OF CHIEF?
Belief General That This Is
Real Object of Inquiry by
. Fire Committee.
DISPUTE OVER HYDRANTS
C'hlof Cam pin-1 1 IMx-larcs He Mopped
Trts With Authority From
Major Lane, and This
Latter IJenies.
the
The fire committee of the City Execu
tive Board will reyunir its investigation
Into the matter of the long delay in the
testing of lire hydrants tomorrow aTter
no"n at 1 o'clok. Chief David Camp
hell, who was on tiie stand when ad
journment was taken ut midnight Wed
nesday, will probably have more to say
in his own behalf and Hydrant Inspector
Walter J. Phillips and others will be
placed on the tanri.
The controversy ovr the delay in test
in hy.lranm that were ordered by the
Water Foard from Hog" Swift in June,
U-rtT. has erf to the present Investigation,
and while Mayor Iane tstronely denies
any desire to discharge Chief Campbell,
it is the general belief in official circles
that the real object of the investigation
is to lead the way to displace the Chief.
The matter has now reached the point
where there Is conflicting testimony be
tween .Mayor. Ijine. Chief Campbell and
Superintendent Dodge, or the Water De
partment. Chief Campbell declares that
he was at all times acting as an agent
of the Water Board in ordering lsts
of hydrants, and that he was Instructed
by the Mayor, arter the latter heard of
conditions e to the alleged defective
hydrants, to cease the tots until the
hydrants were put into proper shape
. by the contractors. -
What the filler Sajs.
"I had so much trouble over the Lud
low' hvdrants. furnished by Hoge &
9xtt." said Chief Campbell, -that I
, finally went to Mayor Lane and told him
! how matters stood: that Inspector Fhil
i lip 'was losing much valuable time be
, cats the tests were putting through only
about one or two hydrants each day.
This was because the hydrants were
poor: the gasket were faulty, being
made of paper, and there was continual
trouble. Mr. Phillip was drawing $1"0 a
month from the city, and there wns coin
pialnt from several sections of leaky
hydrants throughout the city, and hn
services were needed to attend to thei
matters. I therefore went to Mayor
Lane and laid the case Irfoie hint. He
asked nic what I would suggest be don.
and 1 said that I would suggest that the
contractors be told to tlx the hydrants
and put thm into shaie for testing, and
that the tests be .Mopmd until such time
as this was done. The Mayor said. 'Go
to It.' arid I went down to the office of
Superintendent Doi'se. and told him what
the Mayor said.
"Mr. Dodge then went to the telephone
and called rp tie office of Hoge & Swift
as I had been unable to get their num
ber, and he dictated to their stenographer
a brief message, instructing them as to
the situation, and saying the Mayor had
ordered the tests stopped, and that there
would h no moe tests until they put
th hj'drants Into condition for tists.
."'The Ludlow hydrants were not deliv
ered according to contract, but were all
late Jn arriving, and when they did
come, they were not according to the
specifications. I d'd everything possible
to st the tests through, but when Mr.
Phillip was able to make but very slow
prrss. and it seemed useless to keep
him at it. I simp'y laid the matter be
fore the Mayor and he ordered the tets
stopped until such time as t lie hydrants
were properly fixed to undergo the tests.
At all times. I acted for the Water
Board, and had no dealings with the con
tractors." .Major Contradicts Campbell.
Mayor Ijine takes Issue with Chief
Campbell as to the alleged order said
by the Chief to have leen issued by the
Mayor. The latter declares that he sim
ply told the Chief, when the situation
wss laid before hi:n in the light of the
Chief's view. that, if the fault lay with
Hoge A Swift, to make them do their
duty and not to permit them or any one
else to deal unfairly with the city. The
Mayor" denies that he ordered the tests
slopped, except as suggested by Chief
Campbell.
Superintendent Dodge, of the Water De
partment, is sorry lie ever telephoned
f Hoge A Swift. He denies that he
delivered the order said by the Chief to
hv been given by the Mayor to Hoi
3-vift. exfpt as a favor to the Chief,
to help matters along. Mr. Dodse avers
that -the message he save to the sten
ographer was given for Chief Campbell:
thst the Wifr Board knew nothing of
it., and that It was not given for the
Aater Board. Chief Campbell has the
message In type writing from the office
of Hejte A Swift, but there Is no dispute
btwen himseif and Mr. Dodge as to
the latter sending it over the telephone.
All the members of the Water Board de
clare that the fault for the delay in
testing the hydrants lies at the door of
the Fire Department officials.
There Is a controversy between Chief
RmpbeH' and Walter 6. Haines, agent
for the contractors, as to how long ma
chinists from the Columbia Steel Com-P'-ny.
of this city, worked on the hy
drants at Fourth and Market streets, try
ing to get them into condition for test
in. The Chief declares the machinists
were on the Job more than a month, but
the contractors assert til's is untrue: that
tnev were there but w few days, at the
most.
' . History of Controversy.
Th hydrant controversy has caused
much trouble since Tiiomas G. Greene,
a member of the Executive Board, de
manded an official inquiry as to the
responsibility for the delay. This was late
Ins: August. The matter was referred
to the fire committee, then composed of
Marcus G. Klelschner. L. T. Peery and
P.ichard Wilson. They took some' testi
mony on several occasions, and finally
submitted a report to the Board, which
was. briefly stated, that they were un
abl to fix the blame. Meantime. R. L.
SalMn. chairman of the street commit tee,
had resigned hecause v( inability to agree
witii Mayor Ijnf on matters pertaining
to street work, and Isaac Swett. a local
lawyer, was named In his stead. Mr.
Swet; at ones took a decidedly strong- in
terest, in Fire Department matters, espe
cially, in the investigation as to the hy
drants', and. with Mr. Greene, attended
the committee meetings and heard the
evidence.
When the fire committee made Its re
port to the Executive Board. Mr. Swett
criticised it. and said that, having heard
th evidence, he felt that the responsi
bility for the delay In testing the hy
drants was very dearly fixed, and said
it looked to him that the Fire Chief was
at fault. Mr. Greene was displeased with
the report, and remarked that the mem
bers of the fire committee were either
Incompetent or Insincere, which resulted
the following week In the resignation's of
tlie entire committee, making four resign
nations from the Executive Board.
In the rearrangement of committees,
Mayor Lane placed John Montag. Isaac
Swett and P. E. Sullivan on the fire
committee. In place of those who re-
sijncd. and in due time this new commit
tee resumed investigation of the hydrant
question.
A feature of the controversy Involves
Hydrant Inspector Walter J. Phillips.
who was charged by representatives of
Hoge & Swift of being financially in
terested' in the local make of Hydrant,
known as the Howe. This lie emphati
cally denied. Six weeks ago. upon the
death of Master Mechanic Stewart, Chief
Campbell recommended Phillips to suc
ceed to the place, but Mayor I.ane and
the members of the fire committee have
refused to report the name for confirma
tion by the Executive Board, pending
the outcome of the present Investigation.

them all the way from t?..'i0 to $." for thei
alleged instructional and then promise to
pay them for the pillow tops, "provided
they come up to specilications."
These." people are making use of the ad
vertising columns of the daily papers,
and just how many poor helpless women
and girls have contributed their meager
dollars to the coffers of these human
leeches may never be known, but. already
complaints have not only reached tho
ears of the Postal authorities, but a num
ber of the victims have written to the
newspapers branding the so-called art
companies as swindlers. One of these
concerns, the Ideal Art Company, lo
cated at Seventh and Yamhill streets,
has been running for several weeks. The
other concern is located on Eleventh
street. This one is called the National
Pillow Top Company. Both are con
ducted by hueband and wife. It is the
woman who is supposed to do the teach
ing, for painting pillow tops is a wo
man's work.
A visit was made to the Ideal Art
Company and in a few minutes five
women called at the house in answer to
the cleverly constructed advertisement
whicli was running in the papers. At the
Ideal Art parlors they charge $f for
their instructions. A very glib-tongued
young woman does the talking and what
business the man hne around the place
unless it is to help spend the money of
the poor .dupes and help the woman out
in her line of "business" talk, it is im
possible to tell. First these sharks make
it plain to the victim that it Is not neces
sary to know anything about art 'to
"paint" pillow tops successfully. The
work, they explain, is "mechanical"' and
can he learned by the most stupid in two
weeks.
The first requirement of the course is
the Before the money is paid there
is an explanation. The "art" people tell
the victims that after they have learned
to paint pillow tops to their satisfaction,
they will buy them at all the wav from
JIO to JIo (a dozen and that if tfie stu
dent is at all quick to learn, she will be
able to turn out a couple of dozen pillow
tops a week. Tl-.e money they demand '
oes for two purposes, first for the teach
ing and for the paints and "special"
kind of material need in the pillow tops.
After the victim has been told that she
has reached a point where she can "do"
pillow tops, a larger piece Is given her.
This she takes home with her and in her
KUileless Innocence starts to paint a pil
low top. A lien finished she brings it
hack for inspection. Fault is found with
it, of course. Not much the first time.
Another piece is given her and she tries
again. This time the sharks have all the
money they can get out of the victim
and when she comes back the second
t'me. she Is told that her work Is crude,
and now that she has had the second
trial, her deposit belongs to the "art"
people.
And what do the dunes iret fur their
vfS? Not a thing in the world but
number of bottles filled with cheap dyes,
several bits of cotton and a bundle of
cheap toothpicks and a cheap pantograph.
The victim is of course told that the
dyes are. specially made, which they are
not. for they can be bought anywhere,
and that the pillow top material Is spe
cially made for them at a great cost,
when in fact it can be bought at any de
partment store for about: six cents a
yard. The pillow top material is stamped
with roses, various kinds of flowers and
animals and other figures. The "art"
of painting in these flowers and figures
the shading and the coloring, is where
they catch the victims.

PETARSSD CASE DRAGGING
INTERPRETATION ' OF TESTI

Iefense Puts on Witnesses In Kit

Given for Prosecution.
The Petarsso murder trial is not yet
in the hands of the jury. The necessi-ts-
for interpreting nearly all the tes
timony, because an American jury is
trying an Italian case, has hammered
counsel for tho state and defense in
'their efforts to facilitate the trial. It
is In progress before a jury in Judge
Morrow's department of the Circuit
Court.
The state rested yesterday, and four
witnesses for the defense were placed
on the stand. Mario Montrazzo, inter
preter at the Coroner's Inquest, was
placed on the -witness stand for the
purpose of Impeaching the testimony
of I-uigi Martini and Joe Desantls, be
cause their testimony in the present
trial does, not harmonize with that
which they gave at the inquest. It is
the contention of the state that while
the stenographer's notes are a correct
transcript of what the interpreter said,
they do not give what the two wit
nesses meant to convey to the minds of
the jury.
Gennaro Piralno testified yesterday
that Petarsso sent him for a gallon of
wine for the wedding party, as no more
was on hand. He said Petarsso wanted
to open it at once, but that others ob
jected, asserting they had enough.
Piraino said that' after the wedding

fered to escort Petarsso home because
he was drunk. He was overtaken by
Frank Ferrante. Joe Desantls. Ven

Common Sense
And A Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
A Pleasure.
When your stomach goes on a strike
and mass meetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then it is that
you should sit up and take notice.
It is clearly and only a question of
common sense is this thing called
Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, over
eating, excesses and high living, the
things which the stomach- needs and
you have dyspepsia and indigestion;
then other maladies, follow these this
is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work. You take
away the materials which are so neces
sary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys
pepsia and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands,
nourishment and power. All these
necessities it takes from the blood. If
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood,
the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
This is common sense also, pure,
simple a unalioyed. -
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are com
mon sense pressed by high power into
tablets. In these tablets are powerful
essences which go into the stomach,
digest food, stop gas making, prevent
decaying of food, enrich the gastric
juices, are absorbed by the blood and
thus give strength to furnish a better
fluid for digesting the next tmeal.
Every physician knows what comprises
these tablets: every druggist has the
same knowledge also. They are
natural common sense digesters which
do the work for the stomach quickly
and well. Every drug store carries
them, 50o per package. Send us your
name and address and we will send you
a trial package by mail free. Address

ASK UNCLE SAM TO BOOST
KOSE FESTIVAL AUTHORITIES
WANT CAXCELLATIOX STAMP.
Harrlinan Lines Send $1000 to As
sociation and Promise Ample
Advertising.
Rose Festival officials will take up at
once with, the postoffice authorities the
matter of having every piece of mail sent
out from Portland marked with an indi
vidual stamp. "During the Lewis & Clark
Exposition special cancellation stamps
were provided by the Government and
every letter, postcard and bit of litera
ture that left the local office bore ad
vertisement of the Portland exposition.
The matter of arranging for this pub
iclty feature for the big celebration next
Jnne will be taken up with Postmaster
MInto as soon as the holiday rush is
over. The Lewis & Clark Exposition and
the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Fair have re
ceived Nation-wide advertising as a re
sult of such concessions from the Fed
eral Government and it is hoped that the
Portland Rose Festival will be able to
persuade the proper authorities to take
similar action in connection with the
forthcoming demonstration.
President Ralph W. Hoyt. of the Rose
Festival Association, said yesterday that
he would take the matter up at 'once and
that if it were possible, sufficient public
pressure would be brought to bear upon
the postal authorities to iiave such recog
nition accorded tne annual floral feast
of this city.
Among the most important announce
ments made from Festival headquarters
for some time was the letter to President
Hoyt, yesterday, in which General Man
ager J. P. O'Brien, of the Harriman lines
in the Northwest, enclosed $1000 as a con
tribution to the general fund for the big
Jubilee which will be held the second
week of next June.
The Harriman lines have already an
nounced their intention of conducting a
campaign of publicity all over the United
States, making prominent mention of the
main attractions of the Rose Festival in
all the advertising literature sent out
from the headquarters here and from the
main offices of the Harriman systems in
Omaha.
This action on the part of ti,e Harriman
linesNlace the Rose Festival on a Na
tional plane. It has already been recog
nised as an occasion of National emi
nence by the Hill roads; and from the
first of the year until the opening of the
jubilee it will probably be an Interesting
competition between the Hill and Harri
man interest to see which of the two
great trans-continental systems will get
the more business.

owe to her science the charmina:
and exquisite proportion of fig
tire which they enjoy.
So rapid and thorough is the
treatment that one can almost
"see the flesh grow." One young
matron had to prove her iden
tity to her husband after a
month's absence, during which
time she had used the home
treatment. An increase of six
inches is not unusual after a
month's treatment.
Go to any druggist and get
separately two ounces of gly
cerine, three ounces of rose
water, one ounce tincture cad
omene compound and five cents'
worth of borax. Mix the gly
cerine and tincture cadomene,
shake nnd let stand two hours.
Then add rosewater and a tea
spoonful of borax. Apply morn
ing and nleht, rubbing until ab
sorbed; then wash witli hot
watr find soap: dry thorough
ly. Continue a fow weeks and
beautiful development - rewards
the effort.
