GRAND JURY ASKS
TO SEE PETITION
Inquiry Will Be Made Into Sig
natures to Gothenburg
Measure.
BRIDGES TO BE VOTED ON
Auditor Barbur Is Threatened "With
Injunction to Restrain Him
From Supplying Polling Places
With Ballots for Democrats.
INITIATIVE PETITION DEVELOP
MENTS. City Auditor Barbur is notified to
produce the Gothenburg petition be
fore the Multnomah County Grand
Jury thlj morning, which is regarded
mm sign meant. It Is believed an ef
fort is to be made to lndlt some
who forged signatures, of which the
document is full.
Rfchecking of petition for proposed
amendment to divert fund from
Madison-street bridge to a projected
bridge at Market street results in
Auditor ordering the petition on
the ballot. ,
Checking up of petition calling for
vote on proposed high bridge project
ed for Sherman street is begun, and
Indications are that Jt carries suffi
cient genuine signatures to be placed
on the ballot.
t
City Auditor Barbur's official troubles
n-ere augmented yesterday by threats
of an Injunction to restrain him from
supplying: the polling: places with bal
lots for democratic voters. He -was
also directed during the afternoon to
produce the celebrated Gothenburg pe
tition before the County prand jury
this morning-. His force of deputies
finished checking up the signatures on
the petition for a bridge at Market
street across the Willamette River, and
this has been ordered placed on the
ballot. The Gothenburg document ia
virtually defeated, as the forgeries
contained in it and mistakes of various
kinds combine to produce a big falling
off In the names of qualified voters.
The Gothenburg petition, jphich calls
for a vote by the perfple on a propo
sition to place the saloon business of
the city in the hands of a monopoly
at a large sum per year, is in . class
with the famous Excise Board peti
tion, fathered by temperance advocates.
Insofar as forged signatures are con
cerned. Both petitions are literally
filled with such names, the Excise
Board petition being thrown out by
Mr. Barbur as falling short of the re
quired number of qualified electors.
Scandal Will Be. Probed.
In view of the well-known facts re
garding the Gothenburg petition, it ap
pears highly significant that City Au
ditor Barbur has been ordered to pro
duce it before the grand jury this
morning. It Is believed that It is the
plan of the jury, under the direction
of District Attorney Cameron, to probe
tile scandal attaching thereto, with the
object of bringing Indictments against
such persons as may be found guilty
of forging or aiding o'hers to forge
names to the petition.
It will require several days to com
plete the check of the Gothenburg pe
tition, but if It continues to show as
great a percentage of forgeries and
other defects as it has thus far. it will
be far short of the required number of
voters to secure for it a place on the
official ballot.
The fact that the petition, calling for
a vote on the question of diverting the
proposed Madison-street steel bridsre
across the Willamette River to Market
street, will be placed on the ballot,
complicates matters as to the Madlson-
Ftreet span. The City Executive Board
has employed engineers to draw up
plans ana specifications for.this struc
ture, but, as it is but about one month
.until the general election, it is believed
that Mayor Une and the members of
the Board will not be disposed to hur
ry along the procedure as to Madison
street to the point of letting a con
tract. - If the contract could be awarded by
the City Executive Board before the
June election, it would, according to
City Attorney Kavanaugh, make Im
' possible the diverting of the fund to
the proposed Market-street span, even
should the people decide on the latter
location and the type of bridge called
fer there. However, it Is virtually Im
possible, because of the great amount
of official red tape to be unwound, to
let the contract before the election,
and it seems very likely that the Mayor
and his Board will await the outcome
of the vote on the subject. In author
izing the Board to employ engineers,
the city Council, through Councilman
Rushlight, so worded the ordinance
that the fund cannot be used to oav the
engineers for plans and specifications
lor Market streets, but only for the
Madisou-sti:eet project.
Bridge Petition on Ballot.
The petition for a vote on the ques
tion of building a high bridge across
the Willamette River at Sherman street,
but a short distance south of the pro
posed Market-street bridge, gives ev
ery appearance, thus far. of having the
necessary number of qualified voters
to cause City Auditor Barbur to place
it on the ballot. This calls, for a bond
issue of not to exceed $1,500,000 to be
used in the constructfon of a span
which shall be at least 140 feet above
low water. It I: fathered by Lawyer
Mark O Nelll and Councilman Cottel.
and numerous others residing in South
Port land.
The threat to enjoin Auditor Barbur
from furnishing a Democratic ballot
Is made by Captain W. C. North, Chief
Deputy Assessor. He consulted with
Lawyer George S. Shepherd and A.
Walter Wolfe yesterday as to the le
gality of the proceeding, but took no
definite action. Captain North ques
tions the authority of the City Auditor
to put out a Democratic ballot when
there are no candidates who have filed
their nominating petitions. Auditor
Barbur. however, states he discussed
the matter with City Attorney Kava
naugh recently and it was believed
best to prepare the ballot, largely as
a matter of fair treatment to regis
tered Democrats.
"While the law states that I may pre
pare ballots when there are nominat
ing petitions. It does not sav I shal
not if there are none," said Mr. Bar
bur. "1 did not care to be placed in
the position of standing strictly on the
letter of the law in this matter, and
ns a matter of fairness to all voters,
t caused to he printed the Democratic
ballots, and they will be furnished to
the polling places, unless the courts
restrain me.
Says Attempt Is Trickery.
'An attempt so late in the primarv
campaign by one of the 'ln's' to keep a
Democratic ballot out of the field could
only be regarded as political trickery."
said George H. Thomas, one of the Demo
cratic leaders who has taken a prominent
part In getting: out Democratic candi
dates.
Mr. Thomas cays he believes there is
no reasonable ground for enjoining the
issuance of an official Democratic ballot
in the primaries. It Is his understanding,
he says, that the ballots have already
been printed and the city Is therefore
liable for the expense. Nothing would be
saved the taxpayers by such a proceed
ing. Furthermore, says Mr. Thomas, it
Is enacted in the primary law that the
aw shall be construed in accordance with
the preamble that precedes it. The pre
amble in defining the purposes of the law
plainly warrants the preparation of a
ballot under the circumstances existing
in the present case in Portland, he de
clares.
I think that in this case Captain North
is wholly forgetful of the principle that
the. office should seek the man," con
cluded Mr. Thomas.

based on the fact that the logs had been
hewn square and could not come under
provisions allowing free entry for logs
untreated.
Banfield-Veysey Fuel Company, to
whom the lumber was consigned, appealed
to the Board of General Appraisers and
yesterday Collector Malcolm received a
communication from the Board affirming
his action in the case.
In a similar case the Board had de
cided: "It is evident that the terms "hewn."
'sided and "squared," included in Para
graph 194, were Intended to apply to three
separate and distinct stages in the process-
of preparing logs for ultimate use
as lumber, and -it is Immaterial to the
issue which of these three stages may be
said to have been reached in bringing
these logs to the condition in which they
were Imported. Protest overruled."
The point raised bj the 'importers was
that the logs had been hewn to facili
tate the loading In vessels and provide
safer cargo, and not to make merchant
able lumber.

If an old sore existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that
particular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly
to the place that would kill the germs; or the diseased flesh might be
removed by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact
that old Bores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even
return after being cut away, shows that back of them ia a morbid cause
which must be removed before a cure can result. Just as long as the
pollution continues in the blood, the ulcer remains an open cesspool for the
deposit of impurities which the circulation throws off. 8. S. S. cures Old Sore3
by purifying the blood. It removes every trace of Impurity and taint from
the circulation, and thus completely does away with the cause. When.
S S. S. has cleansed the blood, the sore begins to heal, and it is not a
surface cure, but the healing process begins at the bottom; soon the dis
charge ceases, the inflammation leaves, and the place fills in with firm,
healthy flesh. Under the purifying and tonio effects of S. S. 8. the system
is built up, and those whose health has been impaired by the drain aid
worry of an old sore will be doubly benefited by its use. Book on Sores

GARS ALL EQUIPPED
Electric Company Has Obeyed
Municipal Order.
COST HAS BEEN $75,000
President Jossclyn Discusses Xew
Franchise and Declares Delay for
Referendum Vote Would
Hurt Entire City.
That every electric car In the Port
land service has been equipped with air
brakes at a total cost of $75,000. was
the report made yesterday by Presi
dent B. S. Josselyn, of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company. For
some weeks steady progress has been
made in Installing: airbrakes, to con
form with the order of the Council
that all cars over 35 feet in length
should be so equipped before May 5.
Mr. Josselyn remarked that airbrakes
were quite unnecessary for ordinary
city cars, but as the company had no
alternative, it had perforce asrreed.
The action of the labor unions to in
voke the referendum on the subject of
tne so-called "blanket " franchise was
denounced by Mr. Josselyn. "I would
be perfectly willing for the franchise
to ne submitted to the people, if it
could be presented at this election,"
said Mr. Josselyn. "'I do not see why
the Peninsula district should be held
back for two years, while the refer
endum is being invoked. That is what
would be Involved by Invoking the ref
erendum now.
"1 want the working people to un
derstand that their action will be a
boomerang. It will hurt them more
than it will us. Delay in the con
struction of the Peninsula extension
means delay also on the Swift plant.
and that means much less employment.
Besides our own construction will re
quire workmen.
"We have ordered 50 cars from the
East for the new service and if it still
appears that this franchise is to be
blocked, I shall cancel the order at the
earliest possible moment.
"It is incorrect to assume that the
lines are in any way extensive. Most
of them extend for a few blocks only
and but one is over a mile in length.
It is further ridiculous to desire to sad
dle extensions with provisions that
cannot be enforced on the main lines.
Take the Instance of the common user.
The desire of the people should be if a
new company comes in the field to force
It on to other streets to aslst In the
development of the city. The common
user clause cannot be enforced on the
main streets of the city. Why try to
enforce it in the suburbs?"
Mr. Josselyn said he would leave
Saturday for St. Louis, New York and
Philadelphia, on his semi-annual tour
East. He will return with his family
about June 1.

Commercial Club Favors July Date
at Exposition.
Portland day at the Seattle Fair will
probably be set for some time between
July 20 and July 25. At the request of
the exposition authorities and of the
Oregon Commission, the Portland Com
mercial Club was asked to suggest a
day to call its own, and at a meeting
yesterday the executive board of the
club decided to suggest some day
towards the latter part of July.
This date will clash with the desire of
the Portland Women's Club, which de

THE FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST
In nearly every well-regulated house
hold' there is a family medicine chest,
containing the tried and true remedies
for the minor ills of the body to which
most people are more or less subject,
and for the treatment of which few
feel they can afford to employ a phy
sician.
Perhaps the most frequent and an
noying malady cared for by the home
made remedies of the family medicine
chest is the common cold and Irritat
ing cough attending it, and -yet there
is no one of the so-called minor ills
the neglect of which is more apt to be
attendea with serious consequences.
The irritation to the throat and lungs
renders these organs sore and particu
larly susceptible to the tubercular
germs with which the air is nijed,
especially in towns and cities.
To break up a cold quickly and cure
any cough that is curable, there is
possibly no known remedy so effective
as the mixture of a hall-ounce virgin
Oil of Pine compound pure with two
ounces of Glycerine and a half pint of
good Whisky. Use in doses of a tea
spoonful every four hours. The In
gredients for this formula are inex
pensive and easily within the means
of all, as the mixture makes a suffi
cient quantity to last the average fam
ily an entire year.

If I did not know that I could thoroughly cure any ailment of men
I could not afford to agree that you pay me after I cure you. Neither
could I afford to undertake a cure for the low fee I charge.
Only the strong men that is. the men
with VIM and a plenitude of VITAL, POWER
can enjoy life. Nature designed that every
man should be vigorous erpable of perform
ing al! the duties of life. There is no LONGER
any excuse for WEAKNESS in men. The weak
man is utterly worthless to himself. But he
need not remain weak. He can be made as
STRONG and active as the best of them. My
special treatment for weakness solved the
problem of its cure over 20 years ago. The.
man who fails to take advantage of this
treatment is therefore blocking his own way
to the enjoyment of perfect health. He can
not plead that the cost is too great, because
- my fee is so low and the condition so easy
that ANY MAN CAN MEET IT.
PAY ME WHEN I HAVE CURED YOU
CONTRACTED DISORDERS
In no other ailments peculiar to
men is a prompt and thorough cure
so essential. Contracted disorders
tend to work backward until the
most vital nerve centers become
-involved in the inflammation. Then
follows a chronic stage that stub
bornly resists all ordinary treat
ment. Safety demands that every
vestige of infection be eradicated
at the earliest possible moment.
My treatment is thorough. The
remedies employed have a more
positive action than, has ever be
fore been attained, and so perfect
is my method of application that
even chronic cases yield completely.
