"GRAFT" TALK MUST STOP Accusation of Selling Cigars lo Wom en or Questionable Repute at Increased Prices Is Stren Tjoaalr Penletl. Pefylns; Morris Senosky. Siff SIchel. member of the police committee of the Executive Board, yesterday made pub lic the full text of a letter written by htm to Senosky Thursday. In this let ter Mr. SIchel Invited Senosky to RO before the grand Jury and tell every thing he knows.' or to Ket anyone else allKlnf that he has any Information daraairtna- to Mr. SIchel to place such Information before the arand Jury. The letter was written subsequent to a telephone conversation between Mr. SIchel and Senosky. -A a I telephoned you yesterday, tne letter reads. "I have of late noticed In the press several times that you micht appear before the srand Jury to testify avalnst me In connection with some supposed Kraft on my part throutcn mv position as a member of the police committee, first, in selling cigars to women of the North tnd. and. second, hy extortion on these supposed sales by charging double prlqcs. rcoplc Kntltled to Know. "I begged of you yesterday and re peat the request now, that, if you know of the slightest thing against roe. either In private life or my official rapacity, I would consider it a favor If you would appear before the present grand Jury and give every possible in formation or evidence against me to" your knowledge, or that of anyone else. The public Is entitled to know whether 1 have been guilty, as the statements of the press would indicate. I trust you will grant this request. "It seems strange to me that my name should be dragged Into this graft talk." said Mr. Sichel yesterday after noon, when at the City Hall to attend session of the Executive Board, I not only wrote the letter to Senosky. but I earnestly hope that anyone hav ing any information that 1 am guilty of any kind of graft will tell the grand Jury about it. 1 have never taken a cent of 'graft' money In my life. Neither have I used my official posi tion to force my trade on anyone. 'o nenerits Obtained. "Not only this, but I have forbidden my representatives to go Into any im moral house, on penalty of dismissal. It Is positively untrue that I have ben efited In this manner through the fact that I am a member of the Voltce com mittee of the Executive Board. Thls graft talk has been running now for a good while." continued Mr. SIchel. "and. while I suppose I should not permit It to bother me. it is not at all pleasant to be called a "grafter In the newspapers all the time. Now. If any "graft' exists and anyone can show th grand Jury that I am guilty of taking part In It. let them do so at once and let s have an end to this thing. I think that, as an old resi dent of Portland. I am enUtled to this much." BRITISH VESSEL UNLOADS M earner St. tirorjrc to Take Return Cargo at Poget Sound.

GREAT SOUTHERN GETS BUSY Road Extension Out of Dufnr Will Tap Rich Wheat Country. THE DALLES, Or, May 12. (Spe cial.) Work has commenced on . the Great Southern Railway extension out of Dufur. John Helmrlch. Jr, today said: "This morning there was a gang of 92. men at work on the right of way and the gang will be Increased as fast as possible. The contracts for grading the extension will . be let to section gangs. The grade will pass through the little village of Friend and extend Into the big timber country eight miles west of Tygh Valley and about four miles from Wamlc. The termi nus will be in the Juniper Flat country. We don't Intend to go near the Deschutes River. We're going to keep as far from the other railroads in that section as possible. We will pass through a section of fine wheat coun try and tap the timber district to the south. "The grade is easy, a 2.1 per cent. For the first 14 miles the road will be comparatively easy in building, being through dirt and loose rock. Then for five miles there will be some pretty stiff construction work through solid rock, but the rest of the way will be easier. A 1200-foot tunnel will be excavated 48 miles out from The Dalles. While we will push the work as fast as possible, we are not sure of tin lshlng more than 12 miles before Fall.'

The ordinary symptoms of Scrof ula are swollen glands about the neck, sores and nlcers on the body, scalp diseases, skin affections, weak eyes, poor physical development, etc. The trouble being deeply rooted in the blood, often attacks the bones if the poison is not removed from the circulation, and this should be seriously considered in the case of any child who shows symptoms of having scrofulous blood. Some persons who inherit Scrofula reach maturity before the trouble devel ops, but being bred in the circulation, the disease is bound to show itself in some form. Frequently a debilitating spell of sickness offers a favorable opportunity for the disease to manifest itself. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and by going down into the circulation, and ridding it of the scrofulous germs, and enriching the blood with healthful corpuscles, S. S. S. cures Scrofula permanently. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, and is perfectly safe for children. If you or your child have any symptoms of Scrof ula, begin the use of S. S.

CHARITY PLAN GOES AWRY Multnomah County Declines Oppor tunity Offered by Neighbor. Officials of Jackson County, who gave George W. Clayton, an almost helpless man 78 years old. money to come to Portland that he might not become a charge on them, will profit nothing by tbelr generosity, for yesterday the County Court of Multnomah County pro vided Clayton with a ticket back to Medford and money for his expenses on the war. A letter addressed to the County Court nf Jackson County was signed by Judge Cleeton and County Commissioners Hart and Llehtner. who ask-that this county be reimbursed for the money advanced to Clavton in sending him back to tnem. Clayton had said, when he applied for county aid, that he had received money In Jackson County to come to Portland, and he objected to being returned there. Clayton said he had been an inmate of the County Hospital at Redding, Cal., and had been sent from there to Oregon. He had been in Medford only two days when sent from there to Portland.
