GRAND JURY MAY SOON ACT 'Qneetlon of Contemplated Criminal Operation Results In More for Thorough Investigation of Oregon City Tragedy. IndlprnMion. at the myeteriouw takingr otf of Vera Hall, while undergoing an examination In the office ot Dr. J. J. Rosenburg: last Sunday, has arouBed the activity of the authorities and both the IMstrict Attorney s office and Captain of Detectives Moore are bending every efTort to the uncovering of the felonious operations which they have reason to be lieve were back of the lrl's sudden death. While the autopsy In the case of "Vera Hall did not show that any criminal operation had 'been committed. the authorities are still working on the theory that one was contemplated. They give weight to the consideration that, while Dr. Rosenburg says that the Hall girl, attended by Elmer Erickson, came to his office without pre-arrange-ment he had made, prior to the time of their arrival, arrangements with another surgeon to assist at the administration of an anesthetic In. a case of similar nature. Much weight is also given to the con sideration that, while the coming of Erickson and the girl to Rosenburg's office is said toy him to have been purely forrultious. the office Is in a remote part of the city and It Is doubted, whether it would be visited by a chance comer to the city unless some previous arrange ments had been made. The revelation of the autopsy that a condition- existed which would, give a. motive for an opera tion, coupled with these unexplained cir cumstances, places Dr. Rosenburg in such a position that the District Attorney's office will pursue the investigation to the limit. Out of deference to the family of the dead girl, whose funeral took place at Oregon City yesterday, no action was taken in the case. The Deputy District Attorney at the Clackamas capital has consented to secure statements from the Immediate witnesses! in the case for the authorities here, and these probably will be taken today. If it can be shown that a criminal act was in process of being committed when the death occurred, the matter will be laid before the guind Jury- NOISES ANNOY NEIGHBOR C. J.

Thomas Magers, the chauffeur who ran over and killed Herman Heisig, a 12-year-old boy at East Sixth and East Morrison streets Tuesday afternoon, was exonerated by a Coroner's Jury at the inquest held yesterday afternoon.

Magers, who has been held at the City Jail, under orders from the District At torney's office,- was released. As the Jury returned a verdict of "un avoidable accident."

For sixty years the Hazelton pianos have literally i sung their own praises, and 'without a single discord. There is no such thing as an imperfect or faulty Hazelton piano. It is hand made. No other piano is. In the elder dart of art. Builders wrought with care Each minute and unseen part. LONG FELLOW. It is one of the very few American pianos whose career dates back to the early dawn of American pre eminence in the art of artistio piano-making. Since its inception, the manufacturers of the Hazelton have unswervingly adhered to the ideal principle, that "It were better to make but a few and fine pianos, than to make many and less perfect ones." The latter method of piano manufacturing is called commercial ism and few of even the oldest and previously high est grade makes have been able to resist the tempta tion to cheapen the" quality in order to obtain the popular price and larger trade. The Hazelton piano is a popular piano only to those discriminating few who insist on the highest perfection in piano making the artist, the critic, the lover of the finest niceties in tone production and the most refined and dignified effects in finish and case work. To these few the Hazelton appeals. It is their ideal, realized. It is the master piano. It holds the key to all the beauties and subtleties in music that the commercially-made 'piano can never attempt. It sings, weeps, thunders and laughs, in perfect sympathy to the responsive touch, and mood of the player. To own a Hazelton is to possess the exclusive. Like the finest gems, its rarity is one of its excellences. The product of the Hazelton factory has always been limited. Only a few can be made hand made and these few have almost invariably been sold before even finished. No advertising has ever been needed for their disposal.
