CARELESS ABOUT MONEY Cashier or Looted TUInicr Hank Su ing Surety Company Makes Good Witness for nimself, but Tes timony Is Weak in Spots. From testimony brought out by Judge Charles H. Carey on cross-examination of Charles S. Van Auker. cashier of the. Bainler Bank, which was held up and robbed of IIGOO September 10. l.r06. who Is ulng the National Surety Company for 125,000 damages. robberies. revolvers thrust Into his face and wild romances played an important part in the ex cashier's life. Van Auker spent a part of Monday and practically all of yester day on the witness stand In the United States Circuit Court under a most search ing cross-examination by Judge Carey. He made a splendid witness for himself. He was voluble, but at times his explana tions seemed to have a decided ttnge of Incredulity about them. The attorneys for the Surety Company went Into a most exhaustive examination of the Ratnler robbery and Van Auker's gambling. They brought out a romantic tale of a package of money amounting to J7CO left in Van Auker's care while he was a station agent in Arkansas, and which, at the point of a revolver, he was forced to turn over to a strange man. Through this whole story the witness passed without much discredit to himself, a-iving practically unshaken testimony. Former Testimony Refuted. Judge Carey took the witness over the Ttalner bank robbery and the story was retold in its minutest detail. In teveral Instances Van Auker flatly refuted sev eral witnesses who testified at the hearing held at Rainier before a Justice of the peae. A woman had said the window pane In the room Into which the robbers had taken Van Auker and bound him was broken. She gave the time as 4:3". Van Auker stated it mut have been after S o'clock or later before the window pane was broken, for It was through this bro ken window that he was finally released. Attorneys for the surety company ought to prove by Van Auker that a number of letters explaining the robbery were written for the newspapers. Van Auker denied this, and explained writing them by saying that he feared the news of the robbery would excite the depositors of the bank. He also said he wrote them to keep the rival bank from getting his customers. He expUmed his trip and ll-nlght slay at Kalama. Wash., on the night following the robbery by saying that he went there with friends hoping he might And the robbers. His reason fr not locking up In the safe the rest of the bank's money after the robbery was one of many of ills rather weak explana tions. Careless In Handling Money. It was also shown that In spite of being a rashier of a bank he was careless In handling money. When the robbery took pla'-e It was given out that was taken. It was found when the expert lor th surety company examined the books that there had been a mistake of IO". This Van Auker accounted for by saving that when he came to Portland 1n August to get money with which to meet the lumber company payrolls he had believed he asked for from the defum-t Oregon Trust & Savings Bank. He had. however, received only JA which the charge slip of the bank showed, and which was prodiK-ed as evidence. Van Auker said he did not count the money; "Just looked at the stacks of gold "on the counter and thought it repre sented J40m0." When this oversight was discovered J1000 was crossed off the bank's books, and when the rest of the bank's money was counted after the rob bery it was found only lltWO had been taken. According to the tale he told, when Van Auker was IS years old he was a telegraph operator at Jonesboro. Ark. One day a stranger came to him and left a package, saying he wanted to see th sights. The man never came back tor the package, which Van Auker opened and found contained money. Later he went to work In a bank at Youngstown, O.. and white there a stranger put a revolver to his head one day and de manded the money left with him In Jonesboro. He gave the stranger the money, but ewore he had never counted It. He thought it amounted to JTOUO. Tells Tale of Adventure. the statute of limitations bars the pres ent suit. Attorney Arthur C. Spencer, repre senting the defendant, said last night that the plaintiff tried to sell Its alleged rights of way to the defendant, and, falling to do so. brought suit. The case was brought In the Multnomah County Circuit Court during Judge Sears' time, and that tribunal granted a change of venue to Gilliam County, where the case was non-suited. The new suit was begun here last Summer. ALLEGES GREAT HUMILIATION L. A. Porter Sues Sheriff of Clatsop and Others for $10,000. Charging' Sheriff H. R. Pomeroy. of Clatsop County, Frank G. Kelley, R.

Porter has lil.fd sJlt in the Circuit Court to recover 110.000 damages. He says that he ob tained a money order from the United States Government on a contract. On September S. he asserts, he was arrested and refused the right to consult with an attorney -or to communicate with friends. The complaint also sets forth that Porter was forced to go with the defend ants to Fort Stevens. Wash., and pay his own railroad fare. He says he has been Insulted and humiliated, and his credit Injured, for the defendants were aware at the time that he had committed no crime, he asserts.

Schlenk's real estate Is valued at J1.0"0 and his personal property at VWt. He owned a half Interest In the Quelle, a local restaurant. 'I never counted the money." said Van Auker. "for I got the idea of Its contents when I read of a confession made to a preacher in Covington. Ky.. by a man who said he had robbed the National Bank of Toungstown of a package con taining this sum and was willing to give It back. The bank had never lost any money. I never told any one of my erperlence and nothing came of It." Judge Carey sought to prove tliat at the time Van Auker was an operator a number of express robberies occurred In Arkansas. The witness denied having anything to do with these robberies. He said he had told only one man In Oregon of this experience, and he supposed this man had told the detectives, who used It. he said, "to try and blackmail me." When the days session ended an Auker's attorneys were trying to prove that the Plnkertons. who hsd been em Moved to run down the robbers of the Ilalnler bank, had reported to the surety company that Van Auker was In no way connected with the robbery. Notice had been served on the Plnkertons to bring Into court copies of these reports, but they could not be found. Several wit nesses from the Pinkerton agency were put on the stand to prove that the agency had been em-ployed by the surety company. James Mcl. Wood, agent for the Nattonsi Surety Company, was oa the stand when court adjourned. Awarded $1250 for Accident. t C. C.

While young McLaughlin was at work last August his fingers were severed In a planer. Declare That Lane I Playing Poll tics In Controversy Over Pro posed Purchase and Also in the Paving Fight. , There Is every indication that the ses sion of the City Council, scheduled for this morning, will be sufficiently lively to attract a large attendance. Mayor Lane will submit two vetoes that are sure to arouse the opposition of the Council, par ticularly because the objections are writ ten' In sharp, terse sentences that are calculated to make the Council sit up and take notice. Some of the members have said that the Mayor wrote both communications "for political effect." He denies this, as he says he Is going out of office next July. One veto te on the ordinance which authorizes the purchase of a tract of land In Sellwood, above the Oaks, for park purposes, at a price not to exceed, $4000 an acre. It Is interesting to note in con nection with this matter that when the Park Board recommended the purchase of this ground Mayor Lane was absent. Also it will be recalled that when he first outlined to the board hie policy In regard to the acquisition of park, boulevard and playground property he wanted It all secured by condemnation. While he hints at graft in the selection of this site, he suggests condemnation of the plot, and some say he still holds to his original idea that condemnation Is the right method. "It is enough to make a man mad said one Councilman, discussing the veto, "I knew nothing about this ftollwood deal and I asked Mayor Lane himself If the Park. Board recommended the purchase, and if he thought It a wise thing to purchase the property. He said he thought so. and I voted to buy it. Now. wouldn it make you hot to find that he has turned right around anil vetoed the ordi nance and has virtually charged graft In connection with the purchase? The second veto relates to the pax-men of maintenance of 2V4 cents a yard on hard-surface pavements for a period of 10 years. The Mayor says It is a shame to do this. He has evidently been gatli ering data on the subject since he wen into office three years ago. and has ap parently decided that It is unwise for the city to pay this money to the paving companies- What the Council has to do with this matter is a question being dis cussed among the members. They say It is up to the Executive Board.' and that it Is unfair for the Mayor to hurl It at the Council. Appropriations for the various city de partnients for the year, as recommended bv the committee on ways and means, will also be us for consideration, and it seems that some of the members will in sist on the various estimates being re duced. It Is Intimated that the Fire Tiepartment will be hardest hit. and that the Police Department will be next In line for a cut. Mayor lane has an nounced that he can scrape off enough money from the department levies to build ft crematory, if the matter Is left to him, and because of this challenge the Council may make heavy cuts in the appropriations. Aside from these matters there is an Immense grist of routine, and the Council will probably be in session all day. ing-house made as attractive and con venient In its appointments as any similar building In the city. W. L. Morgan is the architect and his designs show an attractive exterior. Mr. Jaeger bought the ground two years ago from John Hawes for $8500 and recently refused an offer of $15, 000 for it.

It is to be steam-heated, the house as well as three others to get their supply from one plant lo cated In the Hanover apartment facing King street. The new house is esti mated to cost about $16,000.

Luescher, general press representa tive of the Orpheum (circuit, and P. J. Casey, a leading New York booking agent, spent yesterday in the city.

INFLAMED LIKING Sore Stomach Soothed by Taking Soap Lake Salts MUCOUS MEMBRANEMADE HEALTHY All the tissues of the body and the blood itself are quickly influenced by Soap Lake Salts. . The salts supply an element that is craved by the human system, but it is the SKIN" that feels the effect most quickly. This applies to the INSIDE skin as well as to the OUTSIDE to the mucous membrane that lines the body as well as the cuticle that covers it. When the mucous membrane which lines the stomach becomes irri tated from any cause, it is likely to become inflamed. This not only in duces distress, but interferes with digestion, and thus hurts the general health. Every particle of food taken into the stomach stimulates that active organ to motion, which prolongs the inflammation. NO DRUGS NO STARVATION If one could give the stomach a perfect rest the starvation cure the inflammation would leave and the mucous membrane would gradually assume health. To many people, starvation is impractical as well as dis agreeable, but the stomach must have some aid to recovery under the difficult task of digesting three meals a day. SOAP LAKE SALTS There is no need to take a drug or any heavy medicine. In Soap Lake Salts Nature has provided a remedy which can be taken in unlimited quantities. Even a small dose will bring quick, soothing relief. It has brought relief to hundreds. We have yet to hear of one case of failure to relieve stomach inflammation, and we have heard of hundreds of cures. Its action on the skin is so wholesome just like rain on thirsty ground that it quickly responds to the pleasing sensation. It supplies an element that is craved by the human system. For stomach relief, try Soap Lake Salts, the wonderful natural remedy from the unique little lake in Douglas County, Washington. SOAP LAKE SALTS REMEDY CO. Soap Lake, Wash. Seattle, Wash.

BY CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY Gunned I - l MISS ETHEL ROCHE It was a happy thought that prompt ed Miss Ethel Roche of 227 Florida Ave., Jacksonville, Fla., to ask her drug gist's opinion when looking for some thing to cure her cold. A druggist knows the value of a medicine by the popularity it enjoys and the repeated calls he has for it, and his prompt advice to her was to use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Sister Was Also Cured Miss Roche had a neglected cold about three years ago and was so hoarse she could hardly speak. She says: "The druggist told me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did so and in three days I was greatly re lieved; within a week I was cured. Mother felt so pleased, she said she would never be without it and when sister caught cold soon afterwards, she at once gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it broke up the cold in one day." Never Negle d a Cold A cold should never be treated lightly as it is always more or less serious. Many peoplo make the mistake of neglecting a cold until it settles in some of the delicate pulmonary organs and chronic catarrh, bronchitis or serious lung trouble develops. If every cold received the atten tion it should have, all danger of this kind would be avoided. Every cold can be cured by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A bottle or two of this remedy taken when the cold is first contracted will promptly cure it, and not only save doctor's bills, but much suffering and annoyance later on. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is for sale everywhere at 25c per bottle, large size 50c
