12 THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, 3IARCII 3, 1910. OREGON ELECTRIC NOTED PREACHER WHO WILL FILL THE PULPIT AT WHITE TEMPLE FOR TWO OR THREE SUNDAYS. THE o HILL OUTLET pom Traffic Arrangements Almost Complete for' Aid of Willamette. First Informal Display of Spring Styles in Ladies' Apparel Department Display NEW DEAL IS OF LONG STANDING Rich Valley Will Enjoy Another Eastern Freight Route and Also Help Electric Line's Fight AVlth Southern Pacific. Negotiations are practically completed for traffic arrangements between the-Oregon Electric on one hand and the Great Northern, Spokane, Portland & Seattle end Northern Pacific on the other. The roads mentioned have been at tempting to complete such an arrange ment for praatlcally a year, but have never been able to reach an agreement as to a division of rates. A passenger traffic agreement between the Oregon Electric and Great Northern went into effect January 1 and since then the traf fic officials of the roads have been en deavoring to come td terms on freight. Traffic Interchange Expected Soon. The basis for division of rates has now been submitted to the three steam rail roads and, it is understood, has been approved by the Great Northern. The Northern Pacific and S. P. & S. have not yet acted, but it is expected that they will accept the arrangement and that the interchange of freight will begin within the next 30 to 60 days. An Interchange of through traffic will give the Willamette Valley another East ern freight route and put the Oregon Electric on a better fighting basis with the Southern Pacific. The Northern Pa cific, heretofore, has been able to get Into the Willamette Valley on a division of rates agreement with the Southern Pa cific. The fact that negotiations for a divl fllon of rates were under way between the Northern roads and the Oregon Electric Is given in railroad circles as the proba ble cause for the revival of a rumor that the Great Northern has purchased the Oregon Electric, although that such a purchase has actually been made Is not considered wholly Improbable. However, at the Oregon Electric offices all knowl edge of such a purchase is denied. "I have not heard officially ol any euch sale of the Oregon Electric," said Guy W. Talbot, vice-president and gen eral manager, yesterday. "A Portland rumor to that effect has come to me in the last few days, but I have heard it eo often in the last year or so that I have ceased to pay any attention to it or give it any thought. So far as 1 know, Mr. Hill has not purchased the Oregon Electric." Mr. Talbot declined to go into any par ticulars as to the freight traffic agree ment, on the ground that it had not yet been consummated. He admitted, how ever, that negotiations were under way and expressed the opinion that the con sideration of the freight rate matter had caused a revival of the rumor of the sale of the road. At the Great Northern of fices it was also admitted that a proposed agreement on division of through rates to Oregon Electric territory was under consideration, but no statement could be obtained as to whether an agreement had been reached. President French Awaits Decision. The same admission was made at the North Bank offices. President Krench 6aid that the matter had not been finally settled and that It was in the hands of H. M. Adams, general freight and pas senger agent, who is in Spokane. The Oregon Electric will have physical connections with the Northern roads by using the United Railways line to the Northern Pacific terminals.- The Oregon Electric has common user rights over this portion of the United Railways sys tem and now utilizes the route In its local freight service. In the event the agreement is not finally consummated the Oregon Electric appar ently will be on a better footing than heretofore for competing with the South ern Pacific for through business. This has been brought about by the elimina tion of the 10-cent arbitrary rate on the Southern Pacific. OREGON CITY GETS ELKS Portland Lodge Slembers to Aid in Installing ew Body.

The thriving little city on the Willamette River is to be overrun, with a herd of wide-horned Elks (spelt with a capital "E"). which will swarm Into the city from every part of the state.

M E SUIT FAILS Nonsuit Is Entered, by Plain tiff's Own Request. RIGHT TO SUE IS SAVED Counsel for Father Who Seeks Rec ompense for Death of Son An-, tlcipates Motion for In structed Verdict. Submitting a motion that their client be. voluntarily non-suited, attorneys' for James Hannaford yesterday brought about a sndden termination of the suit which has occupied the attention of Judge Bean and a jury in the United States Court since Monday morning. When the request was granted by the court the plaintiff fwured te privilege of again bringing the claim before the tribunal. This Instance is one of the few times" that attorneys have been compelled to save the interests of their clients by resorting to such procedure. Hannaford has brought suit against the Crown Columbia Pulp & Paper Company for the recovery of $7500 for the death of an 18-year-old son, who wag killed In January, 3909, by being crushed between the rolls' used for winding paper, alleging that . the machinery was defective. A jury was empaneled Monday morning and several witnesses were examined. The witnesses included relatives and fellow workmen of the man who was killed. After submitting the case against the company, the attorneys for the defend ant asked for an instructed verdict on the ground that the evidence- did not warrant the jury in finding that the death of young Hannaford was the re sult of any carelessness on the part of the company, but rather through his own negligence. Judge Bean was about to decide the motion when he was asked to dismiss the complaint at the cost of the plaintiff. Attorneys for Hannaford will have the opportunity of beginning another action when they think they have accumulated sufficient evidence to srupport their complaint. INQUIRY IS DUE TODAY CARD OF THANKS.

Seely. MR. AND MRS. W. B. JONES. MRS. BALDWIN TO BE ASKED ABOUT EXPENSES. Mayor Simon Expresses Surprise at Attitude of Woman Police Of ficial on Dancehalls. Chief of Police Cox will take up with Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin today items con tained in her February expense account for the Municipal Department for the Protection of Young Women, the nature of which he wishes to know before he O. K's. the bill. She is due to return to day from Seattle, where she went -to take a prisoner, and will be questioned by the Chief. In the meantime, L. G. Clarke, chair man of the police committee of the City Executive Board, is arranging to call a meeting of the committee when Messrs. Sichel and Brown, his colleagues, return from business trips abroad. It- Is .ex pected they will be back this week, pos sibly tomorrow. Chairman Clarke has announced his determination to Investigate Lie conduct of affairs in the Municipal Bureau for the Protection of Young Women, espe cially Mrs. Baldwin's action in writing a commendatory letter to Dan Baker, manager of the Casino dancehall. This establishment is one of several under the ban of the Police Department, and since the fact became public that the head of the protective branch of the service, hav ing special charge of caring for young women, had indorsed the place, it has created much adverse comment. Mayor Simon Is taking. an active Inter est in the case, as his attention was called to the letter by attaches of the Casino, who called upon him to Bee if they could induce- him to believe their business is not harmful. They were given scant consideration, as the Mayor believes in closing all such places. Mrs. Baldwin interviewed the Mayor last Sat urday, saying she favored regulating the halls, rather than suppression, that they have never been closed and may never be. "I was surprised at the attitude of Mrs. Bald-win." said Mayor Simon, "and asked her if she would not prefer to have dancehalls closed. She said It had always been impossible to close them, and that she favoredan ordinance, carrying more stringent regulation. She said she had conferred with Councilmen Dunning and Drlscoll about a proposed measure to limit the hours and to regulate dance halls otherwise. This, she said, she fa vored. I made myself clear as favoring suppression, instead of regulation, and while she acquiesced in' what I said, she did not show the enthusiasm for closed dancehalls that was evidenced in a state ment published in The Oregonian' of Monday." It is now .evident that there will be a thorough investigation of Mrs. Baldwin's methods of conducting her department. It is an open secret In the police De partment that she works at variance with other branches of the service, and is not in touch with headquarters much of the time. The City Council had the same trouble with her when she was first ap pointed. She was asked to make written reports, but did not do so, and there was strong talk that the Council would abol ish her office, but she apologized, prom ised to report regularly and the subject was dropped. While much of the work of her de-H partment is necessarily private in char acter, there is a strong feeling in police circles that it should all be done under the direction of the Chief; that he should know at all times of Mrs. Baldwin's whereabouts, and that she should keep in touch with headquarters and submit to the rules of the department as any other subordinate is compelled to do.

TYPHOID GERMS IN SPRING Health Board Finds Source of -Epidemic at Willamette. Analyses made yesterday by the State Board of Health of water taken from the spring that supplies the little town of Willamette showed that the spring Is infected with typhoid germs, and thus the reason for the second epidemic of that disease in Willamette at the present time is said to be explained. Until this year, the spring water at Willamette caused no trouble, but fol lowing the floods of this Winter, which overflowed the river into the springs, an epidemic of typhoid broke out. The springs wero cleaned out. and by the ac tive work of the State Board of Health, the epidemic was put to an end. The recent occurrence of the disease at that place has given the theory that the water draining from above into the spring is impregnated with germs, and an effort is to be made to have the spring The new fashion-favored weaves for Spring and Summer are repre sented.

The post-mortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases of consumption are due. at least Indirectly, to unchecked dyspepsia, es pecially when the victim was predis posed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain The weakened, irritable stom aVh being unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment, and the victim becomes thin, weak and haggard. As a result, the body becomes a fertile field In which the germs of disease may lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress, unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the de velopment of one of the most insidious and fatal diseases known to mankind. Dyspepsia may be completely eradi cated if properly treated. We sell a remedy that we positively guarantee will completely relieve indigestion or dyspepsia, or the medicine used during the trial will cost the user nothing.
