New Theory Developed, but Not Snb
stantiAtel, I That "Woman Fell
Out of Back of Automobile
and Killed.
A new theory us to how Mr. Real was
kUl4 5vlopd late last niht. which,
if substantiated, would eliminate alto--ther
the supposed "big- red rar" and
th speeding away of the couple altered
to have run her down and killed her.
Instead the theory Is that she fell out
of the bark of the car In which she was
ridln.
Persons who were at the scene of the
accident soon after it occurred point to
these circumstances:
Mrs. Real s body lay with one arm ex
tended over the track said to have been
made by the automobile which killed her,
Indicating that she had not been run
over.
Her clothing was not toxn except her
waist . at the hack near the neck. She
was not disheveled, nor was there any
considerable quantity of dust on her
clothing except underneath as she .lay In
the road. Her shoes were not dusty, nor
were hr stockings dusty, as naturally
would have been the case If she had been
walking about before the accident.
Mrs. Real's body lay only about 50 feet
ba'k of the car in which she had been
riding. Had a car going at the speed
claimed passed over her at that point it
would be barely possible for its driver to
turn out and avtod colliding with the
other car. At least the swerve would
naturally have thrown up a furrow In the
dust. There was no such furrow.
Thus far this theory has not been
worked out thoroughly, but officers
working on the case intend to sift It to
the bottom today.
Kelly, the chauffeur, who drove the
.car in which Mrs. Real's party was rid
ing:, stuck to his story that the woman
had been run down by another car
when questioned concerning; the new
theory last night.
- Mrs. May Real, of 10 East Sixth
street. North, was run down and killed
by an automobile, whose occupants are
unknown, on the LInnton road, opposite
the Exposition grounds shortly before
3 o'clock yesterday morning:. John
Kide. proprietor of the Manhattan
Club saloon, her escort, narrowly es
caped a similar fate, being missed by
the car by only a few Inches. Mrs.
I tea I was thrown I'O feet in advance of
the car by the force of the Impact and
was run over by the heavy machine
which continued Us reckless .flight
without stopping to see what it had
done.
Mrs. Real and her escort were walk
ing up and down the road to keep
warm. Their own car was tempor
arily out of commission and F. L.
Kelly, of 371 V East Burnside, the
driver, was repairing It. Miss Zofle
Hallaxka. of 271 Crosby street, and
Charles A. Campbell, receiving clerk
for Meier & Frank, were also walking
down the road. Both couples were
going southward as was also the un
known car. which Is described as being
a large red touring, car. with two occu
pants. It was traveling at a high
rate of speed and swerved to one side
In order to pass Miss Hallaska and
Campbell. In doing so It ran Into Mrs.
Real and Eide. striking the woman,
who was on the right side.

ferent pattern. He wore a cap. The
woman Is described as a girl wearing a
brown jacket, dark skirt and bareheaded.
Constable Wagner, yesterday morn
ing, and two of his men began an In
vestlpnilon and every garage in the
city was visited, but thus far nothing
has developed to indicate the identity
of the pair.
Detective ray claims to have a clew,
which he believes will lead to their
identity, and will this morning swear
out Richard Roe and Jane IJoe war
rants. He said last night:
"It was -.indoubtedly an accident, and
If the occupants of the machine twould
come tr. and make a statement of it
they would probably be released. The
woman would, of course, be released, as
she had nothing to do with it. but if w
catch ihein now it may lead to con
siderable trouble. We intend to estab
lish a precedent that will be followed
by nil autoists in the future. That is
to stop and aid their victims and come
to police headquarters and made a
statement of the affair.
"Unless they show up early in the
morning." concluded Day lawt'night, "I
am going after them, that's all.".
Patrolman Simms, in hjs report to
Chief Cox of the car seen by him. gave
some information whicH may lead to
the apprehension of the pair. He named
a vountr woman whom he suspected, but
an Investigation by the detectives
showed this to be a false ecent.
Laws Too I.ax, Says Chief. '
Chief Cox, who has interested himself
in the case, complains that the present
city ordinance governing the licensing
of automobiles and speed regulations,
is not sufficiently stringent. He pro
poses, with the aid of Captain Moore,
to draft a new ordinance which will be
presented to the Council for passage.
It is proposed rn the new ordinance
to compel uto owners to place illum
inated numbers on their machines for
nicht travel. In addition to this, it is
planned to compel all owners to regis
ter the names of every person who
drives their machines. In this way It
is hoped to convict persons arrested for
speeding, which has heretofore been
difficult matter, owing to the Inability
of officers to read the number and
Identify the occupants.
WANTS BIG TRACT
, Detective lay. who was detailed yes
terday morning by Chief of Police Cox
to find. If possible, the Identity of the
driver of the unknown car, believes the
tragedy to have been purely accidental.
It is his belief that In swerving to one
side in order to avoid Miss' Hallaska
nd Campbell, the chauffeur looked
back and did not see Mrs. Real and
Kide.
The driver of the touring cart when
lie saw that he had run Mrs. Real
down, did not stop, but according to
members of the party, put on more
power and continued Into Portland.
In addition to those already mentioned.
Mrs. Hattle Drfekill. whose husband is a
railroad engineer, and Elmer Hrsklne. of
the Portland Gaji Company, were mem
bers of the party. Mrs, Drlsklll and Mrs.
Real were sisters and lived together at
10 Bast Sixth street North. Mrs. Real
has a 12-year-old daughter, m-ho also lives
there. The mother of the two women
lives at 7C2 Michigan avenue. Miss Hoi
loska has only been In America a short
time.
Tlte party started from the Steel Bridge
Exchange, where they met by appoint
ment for a crawfish dinner at 9:30 o'clock.
An auto ride was suggested, which was
readily assented to by all. It was almost
11 o'clock when the party started to
Claremont Tavern, on the Llnnton road.
PartT Had Bern Drinking.
After reaching Claremont Tavern, they
stopped and remained there for some
time. According to Information gathered
by the police, all were drinking and hila
rious. After leaving the tavern a tire
was punctured near CHIT Inn. and while It
was being repaired some of the party
walked tack to the inn for additional re
freshments. The car had almost reached
the city when another puncture was
sprung. It was while waiting for it to
be repaired that the accident occurred.
The members of the party were horror
etricken when It was discovered that Mrs.
Real as dead. A telephone was hastily
reached and the police and coroner noti
fied. Deputy Coroner Dunning took
charge of the body and removed it to the
morgue. An Inquest will be held either to
day or tomorrow.
Both of the other women were pros
trated from shock, and were In bed un
der the care of physicians most of the
day yeterday.
The police are puxxled. as is usually
the case over affairs which do not happen
In plain view of an officer. Detective
Bnow and Day were assigned to the case,
ind claim to have made a rigoroas search
for the unknown autoist. The two occu
pants of the machine were described by
waiters at Cliff Inn, and these descrip
tions were furnished the detectives. Pa
trolman Simms. whose beat extends over
the probable route of the machine into the
city, says he saw a car with two occu
pants half a block away, and the descrip
tion tallies with that given by the Real
party. He did not get the number.
One of the occupants was a woman, and
the man. who was driving it. Is described
ma being about ST rears of age, wearing a

having a dangerous time with the auto
mobiles. Wednesday night Dan F. Cam
pion, a tender, was struck by an automo
bile which dashed through the gate before
it was fully opened, throwing Campion

SEVENTH WARD WANTS PARKS
Re-
PART-OF HAZEL FERN FARM
City's Executive Will Announce His
Policy Concerning Park Board
Matters at Meeting Newly-Organized
Commission Today. .
Mayor Simon will this morning outline
to the newly appointed Park Board his
policy concerning this branch of the mu
nicipal government, , and among other
things will recommend the purchase of 30
acres In the Hazel Fern farm, which is
offered through. C. K. Henry at J3C60 an
acre. Tills tract la one of the most beau
tiful In or near Portland, and Is covered
with a growth of large fir trees. That
the board will ask the Council to appro
priate the necessary amount to pay for
thle additional land seems very probable
at this time.
A proposition by President Josselyn. of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, to ell the city property at
Twenty-third and Washington streets as
an entrance to the City Park for the sum
of $100,000 will not have the Indorsement
of the Mayor, as he considers this exces
sive, and does not wish to take it over at
anything like that figure, if at all. He
does not regard it as necessary to the
park system, although he freely admits
that an improvement could easily be
made, upon the .present situation there.

There Is an unappropriated balance on
J1S8.O0O on hand, which may be used for
any purpose regarded as appropriate by
the Park Board, and, while the Mayor
does not wish to' dictate to the members.
he said yesterday that he will ask them
to purchase the Haren Fern tract, for he
regards this as a necessary part of the
East side system, and is also much
pleased to secure such a handsome offer.
He regards the property as quite well
worth the price set upon It by Mr. Henry.
"It seems to me, said the Mayor, "that
it would be a shame to permit the trees
to be cut from the Hazel Fern tract. They
are very beautiful, and could never be re
placed. I shall, tnereiore. as tne Boara
to recommend that the Council purchase
30 acres at 3050 an acre, the terms of
fered by Mr. : Henry. They are asking
SlflOO an acre to every one else, but are
willing to let the city get a good park out
of the tract at the reduced figures. The
price quoted to the city is exactly the
figure paid by Mr. Jlefiry and his asso
ciates when they took over the property,
so they will make nothing by the trans
action."
Mavor Simon will make a general state
ment to the members of the board regard
ing his ideas on parks, and will state to
them that it will be against his Judgment
to dispose of any more bonds for addi
tional purchases during his term. This
will limit the board's activity to the im
provement of the grounds that have been
acquired, and to the building of the Ter-
williger boulevard, on the West Side; later
a boulevard will also be built on the East
Side.
The Mayor will also lay before the
board the matter of additional purchases
on Mount Tabor. While he is not anxious
to secure any more ground there, he will
leave It to the board to say whether it Is
necessary to buy some more to round out
the tracts purchased by the Lane admin
istration. This ground Is not well con-
Will Send Delegation to Lay
. quests Before Board.
The Seventh Ward Improvement League
at Its meeting last night In the hall on
Powell and Milwaukie streets, decided to
send a strong delegation to the Park
Board meeting this morning at 10 o'clock
to urge the purchase of certain park
tracts in the Seventh Ward at once and
to protest against erection of a barn on
the city property on Powell and Mil
waukie streets.. E. F. Moldenhauer,
chairman of the park committee, sub
mitted a general report on the three
tracts it was desired to secure In the
Seventh Ward. Councilman Rushlight de
fended the Administration and said he
believed Mayor Simon was entirely honest
in his attitude on the park question and
the proper course would be to lay before
him the wants of the people of the
Seventh Ward In a fair manner.
After hearing the report of L. B. Rice,
chairman of the Brooklyn sewer com
mittee, to the effect that the committee
considers the sewer well built, a district
committee was appointed as follows: T.
H. Compton. chairman; E. F. Molden
hauer, R. D. Merchant, A. L. Barbur, L.
E. Rice, J. Fish, Rev. Father Greggory
and A. L. Keenan. This committee rep

to see that the laying of laterals Is
pushed forward as soon aa the big sewer
has been accepted.

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or
Drop Back.
The man of today, no matter what
his calling, needs a sharp brain, and to
get this he needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength but brain
and nerve power as well.
A carpenter and builder of Marquette,
who is energetic and wants to advance
in his business read an article about
food in a religious paper and in speak
ing of his experience he said;
"Up to three years ago I had not
been able to study or use my thinking
powers to any extent. There- was
something lacking and I know now
that it was due to the ract that my
food was not rebuilding my brain.
"About this time I began the use of
Grape-Nuts food, and the result has
been that now I can think and plan
with some success. It has not only re
built my brain until it is stronger and
surer and more active, but my muscles
are also harder and more firm, where
they used to be loose and soft and
my stomach is now in perfect condition.
"I can endure more than twice the
amount of fatigue and my rest at night
always completely restores me. In
other words, I am enjoying life and I
attribute it to the fact that I have
found a perfect food.". Read "The Road

An unusual sale of regular Pianos has held much of the
attention of every one about the big piano store during the
past two weeks.
We wish now to call special attention to the magnificent
exhibit of Pianola Pianos.
We have an enormous stock of these magnificent instru
ments on hand never heretofore, not even in New York, has it
been possible to show such a tremendous number of latest
Pianola Pianos of each of the various styles and in the various
superb and costly woods and finishes used only by the world
renowned makers of this magnificent art product.
Six solid carloads of genuine Pianola Pianos, all of them
the latest styles, were shipped during June to Eilers Piano
House through an awkward misunderstanding on the part of
our buyer and the manufacturers.
Bather than to return the bigger portion of these instru
ments to the factories at additional cost for freight charges, in
surance, etc., we decided to accept them. All of these instru
'ments are now being displayed at Eilers Piano House.
Never again will Portland witness a showing of so exten
sive and superb a variety of styles and designs.
There's many a "silent" piano in many a home, where
there ought to be a Pianola Piano a genuine Pianola Piano
an instrument that is not "mechanical," but, on the contrary,
makes it possible for every member of the family, to produce
the choicest music with perfect individuality and expression.
We are now prepared to take such "silent pianos" in part
payment for one of these very latest Metrostyle and Themodist
Pianola Pianos, and we will make it an object for any owner of
such old-style piano to do business with us now.
Will arrange most unusually liberal terms of payment for
any responsible buyer not wishing on the spur of the moment
to pay the difference in cash.
If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, now is the time
to see about it at Eilers Piano House, Retail Department, "The
Always Busy Corner" at Park (Eighth) and Washington
streets.
