But the latest one had $1700, which
Mrs. Pllkey said she found her husband
Pwas trying to alienate. So she warned
fthe young woman not to part with her
Imoney. The minister, tf whose church
fthe girl's grandmother was a member,
I went boat-riding with his lady-love,
according to the wife.
Preacher Swore, Wife Says.

Vhe. endeavored to correct the ch"lld,
dui was met witn opposition by her
'minister-husband. His conduot made
Iter so nervous that frequently she lav
(awake all night, only pretending to

The wife said It was her husband's
Imbit to find a church without a
preacher and to offer his services, bor-
I rowing all the money he could and
j leaving the place when they pressed
' Mm for payment. Her sister said he
, was In the habit of throwing things
at his wife when he became angry

of bringing home six bottles of beer
and a half gallon of whisky on Satur
day nights, once bringing a gallon of
whisky and drinking it all before Mon
day morning. In fact. Mrs. Healy said
; her husband drank so much that his
mind became deranged. On several oc

Ihours of the morning to dress and go
to the nearest saloon for more liquor,
her husband being already under its
Influence. When she refused she was

Oladys K. Wiley, did not object to the
coffin tacks," being even bold enough
to smoke one in the presence of his
! Jnother, Mrs. H. Spaulding. in Oakland,

i monstrance on his part, and abuse from
the wife. He complained further that

STAMPS NOW l DEMAND
RED CROSS MOVEMENT GAINS
MOMENTUM DAILY.
Visiting Nurse Association Works
Hard During Holiday Season
to Fight. Tuberculosis.
Good morning! Have you bought your
Red Cross stamp? if not, it was not the
fault of the energetic workers of the Vis
iting Nurse Association, who yesterday,
from their booths in the hotels, depart
ment stores and public buildings, eagerly
hailed all passersby and pleaded with
them to buy for the sake of "sweet char
ity." So strenuously did they labor that
their combined efforts netted $345 from
the sale of stamps and postal cards in
the booths alone. The amount collected
In like mapner on Thursday was 244.
The new booths in the Hotels Oregon
and Imperial surprised even the most
sanguine expectations by the amount of
their sales, and early in the day the
booth in the Charleton 6 and 10-cent store
exhausted its stock and sent for rein
forcements of stamps and postal cards.
The Portland Academy turned in $100
as the amount of Its sales up to date.
The lodges are coming to the front with
donations, the B. P. O. E. having sent a
large check, together with an assurance
of their Interest In and sympathy with
the work. The booth In the Postcfflce
has been averaging over $30 a day, with
the receipts steadily on the increase.
Demands for stamps from towns
throughout the state continue to arrive
daily. Now is the time to buy, and buy
generously. Remember, every' stamp is a
bullet in the war against tuberculosis,
and there Is no knowing just what partic
ular "bullet" may aid most in the fight.
The booth workers for today are: Lip
man. Wolfe & Co., Miss Carey, Miss
Clarissa Biles and Miss Helen Simon;

WULLNER IS SONG GENIUS
Profound Personal Feeling Ex
pressed in Rendition of "Lieder."
Henry T. Finck. music critic of the
New York Evening Post, after sketching
the sensational success of Wullner, the
German lied singer, quotes him as fol
lows: "I cannot regard the 'lied' from a pure
ly musical point of view; it means more
to me than an aria, a purely vocal piece.
A 'lied' must always seem like the ex
pression of a profound personal feeling.
The person who sings this song at this
special moment sings It, not because he
wishes to please others, but because he
must, because he cannot do -otherwise
than give vent to his feelings. That alone
Is to me true lyric art."
This spontaneous outburst of the emo
tions, as described by Wullner himself,
explains the profound impression he cre
ates upon his audience. Tragedy, exalta
tion, sorrow, Joy In its most rapt expres
sions these move the hearer as he has
never been moved before by song.
This singer, who has set the whole Na
tion wondering, has been obtained for one
recital in Portland by Lois Steers-Wynn
Coman. . The concert is set for Decem
ber 15. at the Masonic Temple, West
Park and Yamhill streets.

son was suspended for a period of 10
days by Local Inspectors Edwards and
Fuller at the investigation. Through
his attorney, C. W. Fulton, Captain
Patterson appealed. In his decision on
the appeal Captain Bermingham se
verely criticises the appellant. The
finding was as follows:
"That he (Captain Patterson) was
both negligent and unskillful in the
navigation of the Elder on that oc
casion. I am of the opinion that he
was clearly in,ihe wrong. He should
have been most thankful to have been
let off so lieniently by the local board..
In my opinion he deserved ten times
the punishment he received. The Judg
ment of the lower court In the case
of appellant. William H. Patterson, Is
sustained."
In reviewing the testimony Captain
Bermingham makes the following
statement:
"I have no confidence In -the testi
mony of Patterson relating to his hav
ing seen the green light of the Kern
before the collision, or that he did not
hear four lawful whistles from the
Kern in answer to his first whistle;
nor four light whistles from the Kern
In answer to his second whistle. Nor
do I believe the Kern flashed her
searchlight around, up the river and
Into the pilothouse of the Elder, which
so affected the navigation of that ves
sel as to bring about the collision, as
testified to by Patterson and his quar
termaster." William H. Patterson was acting as
pilot of steamship George W. Elder on
the trip of the steamer leaving Portland
at 8 o'clock on the evening of August
17. Shortly after midnight the Elder
struck the tugboat Daniel Kern on the
port side aft, sinking the tug. She
went down In 64 feet of water. The
Kern was engaged in towing rock
barges from a point near Waterford
light and at the time of the accident
was making up a tow of loaded barges,
previously dropped by the tug Hercules.
Local Inspectors investigated the
matter and on September 14 rendered
a decision suspending the license of
Pilot Patterson for'a period of 10 days.
The appeal was made September 27.
The testimony submitted to Captain
Bermingham was made up of 271 type
written pages.

SUNDAY DANCE OPPOSED
EXECUTIVE BOARD FAVORS
CLOSING OF PAVILIONS.
Resurfacing- of Washington Street
From Third to - Twentieth
Is Ordered.
The City Kxecutive Board yesterday
afternoon recommended to the Council
the passage of an ordinance prohibiting
the operation of dance halls or pavilions
in Portland Sundays. The action was
taken at the request of Chief of Police
Cox, who wrote to the Board that he be
lieved there should be no dances on Sun
days. The Board ordered the resurfacing of
Washington, from Third to Twentieth
street, with asphalt. This will Improve
the thoroughfare, which Is one of the
most congested in the city, greatly.
An unsigned petition from "the Port
land Paid Fire Department" was sub
mitted by some one unknown, and was
referred to the fire committee. It proba
bly will be consigned to the filing cases,
as there Is no disposition in official cir
cles to deal with the firemen unless they
sign their names to petitions. It Is be
lieved that it is not the firemen who are
complaining, but alleged friends, accord
ing to official statements. The anony
mous petition submitted yesterday de
mands a little of everything, from a re
duction in working hours to a general
change in the rules of the department.
SLED VICTIM CONSCIOUS
Some Hope Now Felt for Recovery of
Frank Smith.
AVhen Frank Smith, who was terribly
injured in the Hall-street bobsled acci
dent Sunday, became fully conscious for
the first time yesterday, his friends be
lieved he had a chance for life.
He opened his eyes for a brief moment
Wednesday,- but yesterday he recognized
hie mother as she sat by the bedside.
Other well-known friends passed his bed,
and in each case recognition was observ
able in his eyes. Smith was unable to
speak, but this may come later.
His present condition is one of paraly
sis on the right side, with the exception
of the face and neck. Unconscious of his
malady as the boy is, as shown by his
wandering glances at the hospital room,
his marvelous constitution and recupera
tive power are making a brave "fight for
life, say the physicians. Dr. Alan Welch
Smith, the attending physician, has called
a brain specialist Into consultation.
"We are all pleased with the boy's
progress," said. Dr. Smith, at the Good
Samaritan "Hospital, yesterday. "It now
all resolves itself Into what Nature can
do. The extent to which the brain can
clear itself and repair the injured parts
will decide whether the boy will be para
lysed. I hope for complete recovery. It
is Impossible to say whether a further
operation will be necessary."
TRACKS ICY, CARS CRASH
Motorman Smith Jumps in Time to
Avoid Serious Injury.
Two streetcars crashed together yes
terday morning in a rear-end collision at
Mississippi and Cook avenues, smashing
the vestibule of one of the cars, unseat

E. T- Smith, Jumped in time to save him
self being crushed in the wreckage of

BABY'S ITCHING
WAS INTOLERABLE
Girl of Six Months had Fearful
Attack of Eczema Spread All
Over Her Face and Eyes Began to
Swell Scratched Till Blood
Came Relieved in a Night and
CURED BY CUTICURA
AFTER LONG SUFFERING
- "When my little girl was six months
old I noticed small red spots on her
right cheek. I did not
pa7 any attention to
them but finally the
spots grew so large
that I sent for the doc
tor who said it was
ringworm. Ho pre
scribed an ointment
which I used for two
weeks, but instead of
helping the eruption,
the ointment seemed
to make it worse. Then I went to a
second doctor who after examining the
baby said it was eczema. He also gave
me an ointment which did not nelp
either. The disease in the meantime
spread all over the face and the eyes
began to swell. I became Tery anxious.
The itching grew intolerable. I had to
tie the baby's hands to the cradle to
prevent her scratching. The cheeks
were covered with blood and it was a
terrible sight to see. I consulted doc
tors from September to December, but
they were unable to cure the baby. I
paid out from twenty to thirty dollars
without relief.
"One of my friends told me of the
Cuticura Remedies and I sent at once
for a set which I began to use that even
ing. The next morning the baby's face
was all white instead of red and you can
imagine how surprised I was. I cannot
find words enough to praise Cuticura
and I do not know what would have
become of my baby only for it. I used
the Cuticura Remedies until the eczema
entirely disappeared. The child is now
three years old and quite well. I used
three cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent and I never use any
other soap. I always recommend them
whenever there is a chance for doing so.
I will send you one of her pictures
which she had taken just after she was
healed. Mrs. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon,
la., July 13, 1908."

PERFECT CURES
FOR MEN
Different doctors have different Ideas in
regard to cures. Some call a suppression of
symptoms a cure. They dose for drug ef
fects -and claim that nothinar more can be
done. But the real ailment remains, and will
bring the real symptoms back again, per
haps the same as before, but very likely
leave the patient in a much worse condition.
I claim that nothing less than complete eradi
cation of the ailment can be a real cure. I
treat to remove the ailment, and not merely
the symptoms. 1 search out every root and
fiber of an ailment, and I cure to stay cured.
