Indictments against Harry Holland and
John Robertson, tha chauffeur and his
associate, respectively, who had charge
of the automobile belonging to W. M.
Ladd early Sunday morning when it
. leaped over an embankment at the Gravel
Pit. on the Gresham road, causing the
. death of Mrs. Dolly Ferrers, will fa sub
mitted to the members of the grand Jury
.for their consideration by District " At
torney Cameron. The grand Jury will
also consider evidence involving the al
leged violation of the state liquor laws
hy the Twelve-Mile House, operated by
Fred Merrill, and other similar resorts.
Reckless driving of automobiles. "Joy
rides." has proved so dangerous. In two
instances destructive to human life, that
a popular demand for curbing the prac-
. tlce has aroused the District Attorney
to action. He declared yesterday after
noon that he and the Sheriff would make
. Joint efforts to punish such offenders and
to prosecute the roadhouses which are
responsible for the drunkenness that in
many cases cause the reckless driving.
It is District Attorney Cameron's opin
' ion that a new law should be passed pro
viding for the revocation of the license
of any chauffeur who Is proved to have
drunk intoxicating liquor?.
Charge Is Xot Kevealed.
T. Vreeland. Assistant District At
. torney, will have immediate direction of
the indictments that will be placed before
the grand Jury today, and while he de
clared yesterday that he believed both
Holland and Robertson could be convicted
of manslaughter under section 174S of
the state law. he would not tell the na
ture of the indictments that have been
prepared In the case.
Section 1746 reads as follows:
v "If anyperson shall In the commission
of a lawful act. or a lawful act without
due caution or circumspection, involun
tarily kill another, such person shall be
deemed guilty of manslaughter."
Any person found guilty under the pro-,
visions of the foregoing section Is sub
ject to Imprisonment in the penitentiary
tor from one to 15 years.
While the Oregon law mar be construed
to place responsibility of accidents on the
chauffeur of a machine which causes
people to be killed through carelessness,
it is Vreeland'a opinion that in this case,
Robertson, who did not drive, has a cer
tain responsibility In the matter. This
is supported by a recent decision, he
Ft ted yesterday, of the Court of Ap
peals of New Tork.
The killing of Jlrs. May Real on the
Linnton rond on August ( was one Inci
dent which aroused public sentiment
against the dangerous sport. The fa
tality of Sunday morning, like that of the
former accident In August, has been
traced to the effects of liquor, and now
the numerous roadhouses about the city
are to be watched by the county offi
cials, and convictions for selling liquor
unlawfully and revocations of licenses
are to be used as a discouragement for
the questionable manner In which it Is
stated many of these places are being
operated.
Liquor Adds to Danger.
Men have been known to lose their
Meads in the excitement of fast driving
and riding, even when intoxicating liquors
have not been used, it has been pointed
out by the opponents of Joy rides, and
when the nervous effect of intoxicants
is added to this, human life has but lit
tle protection, it is argued.
By those who have indulged in them,
wild rides have been described as being
the outcome of what began as harmless
' spins. Thus the District Attorney is
determined to enforce to the best of his
ability tha speed law. and tha law gov
erning the conduct of the resorts out
side of the city.
"Good, sharp punishment by the law
will have a wholesome restraint on these
people." declared Mr. Cameron yester
day. "The evidence we have obtained
tends to show that the Twelve-Mile
House violated the law Sunday morning
by selling liquor and by selling It also to
a minor. . If this can be satisfactorily
proved, the court can revoke the license
of the place."
Fred Merrill, proprietor of the Twelve
Mile House, in an Interview yesterday,
denied that liquor had been sold there
to Holland and Robertson early Sunday
morning, for he said the place was closed
i i miuuiK"-.
llv to the automobile
t establishments." said Merrill yesterday.
. "and have suggested to them that they
' write letters to all the roadhouses near
I Portland, asking' them not to soil liqifor
to chauffeurs on duty. I will also write
a similar letter to the Portland Auto
mobile Cluu, maKing tne.same i oju'.
"As for the Twelve-Mile House, no
drinks will be served there to chauffeurs,
whether they are on duty or not."
Merrill's License to Expire.
Merrill's license to sell liquor at the
Twelve-Mile House will expire on Sep
tember 27. County Judge Webster stated
vesterday that licenses are usually
granted to those places, unless formal
protests are presented to the County
Commissioners. It is understood that
Merrill is already having a petition pre
pared to have his license renewed.
At the County Clerk's office yesterday
it was stated that there are about 12
roadhouses in Multnomah County which
have licenses to sell liquors.
Whether Holland and Robertson are
to be prosecuted for having taken Mr.
Ladd's automobile, without permission
Saturday night, is not decided. Assist
ant District Attorney Vreeland said yes
terday that although in many Instances
it had been determined that taking an
automobile with the evident intention of
returning it did not constitute felony, it
had been determined that the use of the
gasoline under such circumstances con
stituted a theft.
The two men mentioned, it was stated
by Mr. Cameron, will, probably not be
prosecuted for violating the speed ordi
nance Sunday morning at the time of the
accident, ' although he believes sufficient
proof of this is available.

WANT UNION MEN HIRED
Delegates Are Told County Job Will
Go to Lowest Bidder.
County Judge Webster and Commis
sioner Lightner were visited yesterday
morning by Harry J. Parkinson and an
other representative of the labor unions
of the city. They asked that when the
County Court is ready to let the contract
for the construction work on the east
wing of the new Courthouse, it be let aa
a whole to some large contractor who
will agree to employ only union men.
The two delegates discussed with the
County Court the fight of the labor
unions of the city for an eight-hour day,
and named several firms who are em
ploying nonunion help on ten-hour shifts.
Against this they protested, and asked
Judge Webster and Commissioner1 Light
ner not to award the contract to any
of these firms.
The labor union men were assured by
both Mr. Lightner and Judge Webster
that bids for the construction work will
be advertised for, and that the contract
will be let to the lowest responsible bid
der regardless of whether he employes
union or nonunion labor.
The work of laying foundations for the
new structure is going rapidly forward.
The excavation has been completed, and
about half the cement bases are in place.
The structural steel is not yet on the
ground.
FURNACE CAUSE OF FIRE
Blaze in Flats at 4 9 East Fifteenth
Works $500' Damage.
Fire causing $500 damage occurred at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in flats
at 49 East Fifteenth street. -A defective
furnace in the basement caused the
blaze. Sparks fell through a hole In the
grate and rolled through an opening to
the floor, setting the woodwork around
the furnace afire. The flames crept up
ward following the course of the chimney,
burning through the rafters up to the
second floor.
An alarm was sent m from a nearby
box and the firemen who responded were
able to put out the blaze in a short time.
None of the occupants of the building
suffered any loss.

BANK PROBE IS ON
Investigation of Oregon Trust
. Methods Is Begun.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTS
Chief Deputy Fitzgerald Informs
. Receiver Devlin Inquiry Will Be
Made and Orders Statement
of Concern's Accounts.
Investigation by the grand Jury Into the
mismanagement of the defunct Oregon
Trust & Savings Bank, predicted for -the
last two weeks, is now assured. The
office of. the District Attorney took the
Initiative and Chief Deputy District At
torney Fitzgerald, into whose hands the
conduct of the Inquiry will fall, officially
took up the subject with Receiver Devlin
yesterday morning.
An effort was made by Attorney Fitz
gerald to obtain a statement of the facts
as they really exist according to the
bank's books that the case might be
hurried before the Jury. However, this
was not obtained, as the report of the ex
perts, Lester, Herrick & Herrick, has not
yet been completed and will not be for
perhaps two days more.
Attorney Fitzgerald called on Receiver
Devlin at his office in the German-American
Bank and Informed him it had been
decided to lay the subject before the
grand Jury at the instigation of Attorney
Gruber. Attorney Gruber, as representa
tive of a number of unpaid and dissatis
fied depositors of the bank, has made
allegations which Implicate not only the
officers of the institution but the directors
as well.
Receiver Devlin assured Attorney Fitz
gerald that he would do all in' his power
as receiver to assist in the .investigation.
After a, visit to the office of the book
experts Receiver Devlin called at the Dis
trict Attorney's office saying that notice
would be given as soon as the report
was ready to be submitted. After -a copy
of this report has been placed in the
hands of Attorney Fitzgerald another day
or two, perhaps, will be consumed in the
perusal and digestion of its contents by
the Deputy District Attorney before the
summary of its findings will be given to
the Jury.
Another sensational charge has de
veloped in the examination of the books
during the past few days. It involves
the Order of Washington, the Insurance
venture which failed at the time of the
bank wreck. Covering a period of two
years, it is allege, the Order of Wash
ington received on notes at various
times without collateral, sums whtch-ag-gregated
more than J50.000 and none of
which, it is alleged, was ever paid back.
When it was discovered that such a large
amount was due the 'bank from the Order
of Washington, Receiver Devlin seized
all the belongings of the order. The only
assets he was able to discover were, the
office furniture and fixtures, which were
sold at auction and on which $2100 was
realized. .
Besides the Order of Washington, the
affairs of the bank in connection with the
United Railways syndicate, the construc
tion of the Board of Trade building, the
conduct of the Golden Eagle dry goods
store, the Medford & Crater Lake Rail
road, and the Pacific & HAstern itaiiroaa
will be looked into. Alleged Juggling
with stocks and bonds, forgeries to cover
up Illicit transactions, failure of the
directors to prevent ill-advised loans and
many questionable acts alleged to have
been . committed by President W. H.
Moore and Cashier W. C. Morris will also
figure prominently in the array of
evidence.
The -attitude of Receiver Devlin and
President Reed of the German-American
Bank in the cape is passive. They started
the investigation of the books at the
request of Attorney Gruber but have not
been active "in seeking prosecution. It
was regarded as certain, however, that
they would proceed against the stock
holders in a civil suit to recover the
amount of any stock not yet paid for. It
Is considered as certain tnai an ui um
directors of the bank will be required to
tell of the workings of the institution be
fore the grand Jury.
W. H. Moore is at present in Canada.
He has been absent from the city for
the last two weeks and the date of his
return is not known. It was said at his
office that he had gone to Canada to
look over lands of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad which had been placed into the
hands of the Moore Investment Company
for sale and that he would return upon
the completion of this trip of inspection.

Many Women Have
Diseased Kidneys
And Bladder Troubles Who Suffer Endless Torture, Without
Knowing the Xature of Their Ailment, or Its Cause.
Tbis is because women are told that
their every sickness is due to ailments
of their sex." The notion that to cure a
woman's ailments, it is only necessary
to treat the distinctly feminine org-ans,
is one that has caused much unneces
sary suffering;.
The tortures and discomforts of weak,
lame and aching-back,swollen and bloat
ed feet and limbs, nausea and fainting
spells, lassitude, despondency,sick head
aches, painful, scalding sensation, in
fiaramation,etc are invariably due to'de
. rangements of the kidneys and bladder.
And unless there is proper healing
and curative treatment for the org-ans,
which are diseased and out of order,
there can be no cure of the woman's ail
ments. Forthe cure of these conditions
and as a safeguard against even more
serious and fatally dangerous diseases
there must be a thoroughly good and
effective kidney and bladder medicine.

JUDGES' SESSION OVER

The state convention of County Com
missioners and Judges which has been in
session at the Commercial Club, ad
journed late yesterday afternoon to meet
September 20 next year. Judges Jewell,
Goodin and Dimick were named as a
committee on programme for the next
assembly.
A resolution was adopted yesterday
morning that each county pay the actual
expenses of its Judges and Commissioners
to and from the convention. Judge Jewell,
who offered the resolution, wanted the
per diem of the County Commissioners,
amounting to about $4 each. Included, but
this was not adopted.
The subject came up again at yes
terday afternoon's meeting. when the.
chairman suggested that each county pay
into the convention treasury $10 for ex
penses. A resolution to this effect was
passed, the money to be paid to Com
missioner Llewellen. of Oregon City.
Probate practice and the disposition of
delinquent county and state taxes were
the subjects under discussion yesterday
afternoon. A better system of laws was

If an old sore existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that
particular spot, it would ba aa easy matter to apply some remedy directly
to the place that 'would kill the germs; or the diseased fiesn. might bo
removed by a. surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact
that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even
return after being out away, show3 that back of them 13 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 oft. S. S. S. Cures Old Sores
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 heading 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 tonic effects of S. S. S. the system
is built up, and those whose health has been impaired by the drain .nd

PECIAILI
QUALITY
IN EXPERIENCE
Experience Is a thing of quality 48 well
M quantity. Years in practice are no true
measure of a physician's skill. Medical spe
cialists, as a rule, give prominent mention to
the number of years they have devoted to
the practice of the -various specialties. In
this regard I do not differ from most other
specialists. I frequently state that I have
treated men only for 26 years. This Is a
thine of importance that can be told In a few
words. That's why I tell it so often. The
thing I now wish to tell about requires more
space in telling, and I may or may not tell it
more than this once.
Experience isn't worth much unles it has
quality in it. In fact, it isn't worth any
thing. It is Just 11-te all other bad things
the greater the quantity the more badness
there is. I do not mean this as a personal
reference to any other doctor, wnetner gener-
al practitioner or specialist. I merely make the statement because It Is
the truth that has application here. To do a thing wrongly a thousand

Indifferently or carelessly doesn't make skill, but It adds indiffer

Jt is always safest to try a strange
horse out In the harness a while
before starting on a long trip with
him. Tou don't need to be a "trial
horse" for anybody, but It Is a safe
conclusion that the man who shuts
his eyes and buys a horse on the
seller's estimate will not always get
what he pays for. The same Is true
In selecting a physician.
There may be plenty of good ap
ples in the "top talk layer," but
you can't always be sure the whole
barrel is sound without looking
through them, and that is what you
ought to do with every proposition.
You certainly can make no mis
take bv letting a doctor cure you
first and then pay him for "goods
delivered." Many doctors advertise
this plan, but are not always sin
cere in the proposition.. I advertise
. not a dollar need be paid unless
cured, and "that goes."
I correct unhealthy conditions the same as a shoemaker would mend
a pair of shoes. I make men strong enough to succeed because my whole
time and study for years have been in this one line of thought, and my
knowledge and experience have brought me to a point of proficiency

BLOOD POISON, VITAL WEAKNESS, VARICOSE VEINS,

These are the things in the life of men that MAIM, CRIPPLE! AND
KILL, and the thing that gives them more power than they would
have otherwise is neglect and Indifference of the ln:llv4dual. Neglect
rusts the mind, is the motlier of poverty, and the root of all evil.
Habitual neglect shows not only a weak head hut a faint heart. If you

Under my treatment the most
aggravated cases of varicose
veins are cured. There is no

dom necessary that the patient
be detained from his occupation.
Normal circulation is at once
restored throughout all the
organs, and the natural
processes of waste and repair
are again established. If you
are afflicted with varicose veins,
