A troop of Pennsylvania State Consta
bulary arrived at the farmhouse today
from Greensburs and a rigid search for
the robbers Is in progress.
Mr. LouRhner and his sisters were
seated at the table, eating their supper,
last night, when the men suddenly broke
into the house. Owine to their advanced
age the three of them were powerless to
protect themselves. They were beaten,
bound and graced.
The ajced victims refused to divulge the
hiding place of their money and the men
instituted a a.rch. Unsuccessful, they
drew revolvers and pointed the weapons
at Loughner and his sisters, threatening
death. Then one of the highwaymen
said :
"I'll tell you. lot's burn the house and
cremate them.'
Mr. Loughner then led the men to a
mall safe and opened It. After taking
the contents, some floOO, the robbers dis

An Interesting meeting of vegetarians
and those interested in the cult was held
at 301 Yamhill street last night, and a
remarkable instance of a cure was re
lated concerning Carl Berg, a carpenter
and a resident of Portland. In 1905. he
was given up by his friends and physi
cians as a hopeless victim of consumption,
and. according to the history of the case
as related by one of the vegetarians pres

The plan to snuff out the light of
Ole Hanson is contained In a Joint
resolution Introduced by Knicker
bocker, which provides that when Iden

It provides also for an Independent
Judicial ballot which will give minority
parties the right to participate In the
selection of the Judiciary not now en
Joyed by them. It permits the publica

containing the name of the candidate,
address, office sought and party; pro
hibits open saloons on primary election
day, and permits the use of stickers.
The Initiative and referendum bill,

practically Identical with the Cotter'lll

SECURE INQUIRY
Friends Advise Him. to Drop
Subject, but Thus Far He
Remains Firm.
ALSO PRODS BONAPARTE
Asks Whether Suit Brought to For.
feit Coos Bay Grant and Wants
Immediate "Answer, but
Bonaparte Delays.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Senators
who have given consideration to the
demand made by Senator Tillman for
an investigation by the Senate orthe
charges made by President Roosevelt
in connection -with the Senators at
tempt to procure Oregon land. Incline
to the opinion that there is no ques
tion before the Senate for an inquiry,
except as to whether Tillman was
frank with his colleagues in discussing
the case. The opinion is held general
ly that the charges made by the Pres
ident were true, though the act of
Tillman was not a violation of the
law.
No member of the committee on
privileges and elections is inclined to
present a resolution calling for one and,
if one is introduced, it Is likely that
Tillman will be the author. His
friends, however, are determined to
advise him against lnsistance on his
request for an inquiry.
Just before going into the Senate
chamber today Tillman called Attorney
General Bonaparte on the telephone and
asked him whether he had brought suit
against the Southern Oregon Company,
which holds the land-grant for a mili
tary road from Roseburg to Coos Bay.
This is the land comprising over 2.
000,000 acres of which Tillman at one
time contemplated purchasing, at J2.50
per acre, about 1400 acres for himself,
members of his family and others.
The Attorney-General was not able
to answer offhand whether or not suit
had been brought against the Southern
Oregon Company and Tillman asked
him if he could not at once call up
some clerk and ascertain what had
been done in that case.
After some delay, with Tillman hold
ing; the phone and awaiting an answer,
the Attorney-General replied that he
would send Tillman a note on the sub
ject. Tillman insisted that he would
like to have an answer at the earliest
practicable moment.
Tillman received today a reply, but
declined to make It public today, say
Ins; he would read it and comment upon
It in the Senate tomorrow.

TEXAS LAW DEFEATED HIM
Independent Road Planned by
Phoenix & Eastern Only Got Into
El Paso by Aid of State
Commissioner.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13. The difficulties
encountered by the Kl Paso & South
western Railroad Company in building
its way into El Paso and the balking of
the plan of the Phoenix & Eastern Rail
road to build a new transcontinental
railroad lapping the San Pedro Valley
were described by James Douglas, pres
ident of the El Paso & Southwestern,
today in the Government's suit to dis
solve the Union Pacific merger.
Mr. Douglaa waa questioned at length
concerning the proposed transcontinental
lino which he and President Frank A.
Murphy, of the Phoenix & Eastern Rail
road, had had in contemplation with the
co-operation of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad.
Connected With All Roads.
The witness described the condition of
the El Paso & Southwestern, the mile
age of which, he said, aggregated 250
The road, he declared, connected at El
Paso with the Southern Pacific, the
Santa Fe, the Mexican Central, the Rock
Island and the Texas & Pacific. Mr.
Murphy had approached the El Paso &
Southwestern, the witness testified, with
a suggestion that a working agreement
be arrived at whereby the Phoenix &
Eastern be permitted to use the El Paso
& Southwestern as a connecting link
with the Southern lines at El Paso. A
draft of the proposed contract embody
ing this arrangement was submitted in
evidence, together with a number of
letters bearing upon the subject from
Mr. Murphy to the general manager of
the El Paso & Southwestern and from
that official In reply.
Fought by Southern Pacific.
Under cross-examination by ex-Judge
Robert S. Lovett, Mr. Douglas corrobo
rated the testimony of Mr. Murphy be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion to the effect that the right-of-way
should be granted by settlers along the
line of the Phoenix & Eastern Railroad
and that a depot site at Benson, in the
San Pedro Valley, had been given by the
inhabitants of that locality.
Almost as much difficulty, the witness
said had been experienced by the E'
Paso & Southwestern building into El
Paso. The Southern Pacific obstructed
the way into this point, as it had ob
structed the way of the Phoenix & East
ern into Benson, he said.
Thanks to State Commissioner.
"But you got into El Paso and crossed
the tracks of the Southern Pacific?"
asked Mr. Severance,
"Yes," replied the witness, "thanks to
the decision of the Railroad Commis
sioner of Texas."
An adjournment was taken at this
point until January 19. A tentative
agreement was also arrived at to. trans
fer the Investigation to Pittsburg , on
January 25, when H. C. Frlck is expect
ed to be called as a witness. ,
ROOSEVELT ON LONG RIDE
(Continued FTom First Page.)
the Journey were made In sleet and rain,
V while the last 15 miles were in almost
pitch darkness. Arriving at the Aqueduct
bridge across the Potomac, the Presi
dent refused to take the carriage which
was waiting there for him. When he
dismounted, his coat and hat were frozen
stiff with sleet and ice.
There were four relays of horses, the
first stage of the journey out and the
last in being made by the President on
Roswell, the eecond out and the third
In being on Georgia, while the other two
were on Army horses, which the Presi
dent had never before mounted.
As the four horseback riders, followed
by two policemen on wheels and) the
empty carriage, drove into the grounds
surrounding the executive mansion, the
President in front, with his broad
brimmed black slouoh hat drawn over
his face, presented a striking picture.
Both the outward and the return trip
lay through Fairfax Courthouse to War
renton. Arriving at the latter place
about 11 o'clock, where the President's
coming had been heralded an hour or
eo before his arrival, he was greeted by
a gathering of citizens and school chil
dren, to whom he spoke a few words of
greeting. They took luncheon at the
Warren Green Hotel. When they started
to return, after a short rest, the mas
ter of the hunt of the Warrenton Hunt
Club accompanied them for a few miles.
In less than an hour after returning to
the White House the President had
changed his ice-coated clothing for even
ing dress and appeared In the dining
room ready for as hearty a meal as he
has eaten in a long time.
If any of the critics of his Army riding
order had dropped in about that time
they would have been sadly disappointed,
for the President did not show in the
least that he had been sitting for nearly
17 hours in a hard saddle.

WANTS HER
LETTER
PUBLISHED
For Benefit of Women who
Suffer from Female Ills
Minneapolis, Minn." I was a preat

condition of the
system. I read bo
much of what Lydia
K. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound
had done for other
suffering women I
felt sure it would
help me, and I must
say it did help me
wonderfully. My
pains all left me, I
frew stronger, and within three months
was a perfectly well woman.
"I want this letter made public to
show the benefit women may derive
from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound." Mrs. John (J. Moldax,
2115 Second St., North, Minneapolis,
Minn.

ine testimonials like the above prove
the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which is made
exclusively from roots and herbs.
AVomen who suffer from those dis
tressing ills peculiar to their sex should
not lose sight of these facts or doubt
the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound to restore their
health.
If yon want special advice writ
to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.
She will treat your letter asstrictly
confidential. For 2() years she

COUGH REMEDY
A MEDICINE OF REAL WORTH
AND MERIT.
It Not Only Cures Colds and Grip,
'But Prevents Them From Re
sulting in Pneumonia.
Chamberlain's Congh Remedy is intended
especially for acute throat and lun diseases,
of which colds, croup and whooping cough
are the most common. Those who have
used it for years and are in a position to
know its real value, assert that it is with
out an equal for the treatment of these dis
eases. It not only cures colds and grip, but
counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
It lias come into almost universal use as a
preventive and cure for croup, and has never
been known to fail.
In cases of whooping cough it keeps the
cough loose, expectoration easy and renders
the paroxysms of coughing less frequent and
less severe, depriving that disease of all dan
gerous consequences.
It is pleasant to take, which is of much
Importance when the medicine must be given
to small children.
It contains no opium or other harmful
substance, and may be given as confidently
to a baby as to an adult.
It is an ideal remedy both for adults and
children, and we think the most perfect and
most effectual yet produced in any country.
