More than 1000 persons boarded the cruiser Maryland each hour aha waa open (or Inspection yesterday, the total count being 128. and they passed the tally man between 1:10 and - 4:10 o'clock. The attendance Monday of &0i was also caught by tally, but no record was kept of Tuesday's crowd, which wss a heavy overflow. 'Because of the crush then an order waa Issued yesterday that no visitors would be re reived after 4:10, the remaining half hour being required to clear the ship. A tow launches arrived after 4:10 with passengers, but they were refused admission. Custom-House Inspectors, .police and guards from the Maryland will insist on the rule being adhered to and under the system adopted yes terday there waa no difficulty In hand ling the throng. At the foot of Utark street, the principal landing. Harbor master Kpelcr and his force did duty, nnd only ss many persons were al lowed on the float as could be accom modated on the launch waiting. But one' launch waa permitted to load at a time and as a result there waa no dan Rrruu crowding. Launches returning visitors from the ship land Inside of the harbor patrol boathouse. ao the moving columns do not cause confu sion. Additional Exit Provided. "'Alongside the Maryland Harbor master Bpeler placed a second large barge yesterday. In addition he ob tRtned lumber and with sailor from the cruiser constructed a stairway down which those leaving the vessel must pass. There is an entrance and exit and the launches are operated ac cordingly and little blocking waa re ported.

(Special. ) Stay of execution for the Humphreys brothers, ronvlcted of murder In the first degree ss slayers of Mrs. Ellis Griffith, near philomath, was served on Superintendent Curtis of (he state penitentiary today. This was expected. ss a result of the writ of probable cause recently issued by Judge Ham ilton, but the formality carried out to day takes from Governor West the ne cessity of grsntlng reprieves for the men who were to have been hanged Friday, and also saves them tor a time at least from the gallows. Never before have prisoners at the penitentiary displayed such stoicism as these two men when but a few daya removed from Impending death. Prison authorities explain this stoicism through the Ignorance of the men. while others here declare that It Is the result of Governor West's policy toward capital punishment, which has assured these men that they would not hang Friday aa scheduled.

Mexican War Veterans, an Italian society, Ken ton, the newsboys and their Boy Mayor, MAYOR MAX IN COUNCIL TALKS BY TELEPATHY Toothful Executive Give Negative Essay in Silence on How City Might Be Run With Meat Ax Minns Monkey-Businesa. WHAT a pity that Max Swerdllk, buoyant youth, could not be Mayor longer than a week, for he certainly would, according to his views, as not expressed yesterday, "do things." He would partlcaulrly run the City Council "right." "What do you think of the City Council?" Mayor Bwerdlik was not asked yesterdsy. "It needs a lot of flxln', tie didn't reply. He hsd been sitting beside Former Mayor Rushlight, whom he privileged to preside over the City Council for one mora time, yesterday morning from an early hour until 1:J0 P. M. "What I really think of the Portland Council." he didn't go oiy "might not be entirely proper for a young man of my position to say: It might not be good politics, but. feeling the weight rf my great responalblllty. I muat tell the people of thla city how things stand. Meat Aa la gaggested. "To begin with, no mistake was made when Mayor Rushlight stepped down and resigned In my favor. He did the public a real service and should be given full credit. Pardon my seeming egotism, but he doesn't know how to run the City Council. In the first place, he ahould substitute that little mahogany gavel of- his for a meat ax. or perhaps a 'loaded' club. Sec ondly, he ought to hurl said meat ax or club diverse times at tha sundry Councllmanlc heads each session. Prob ably one time, though, wera the blow well directed, would be enough. "Now you take, for example, this morning when Mr. Rushlight said that a certain ordinance had no danger of passing, but did pass. Several Coun cllmcn who voted for It laughed right out loud. Now, had I been presiding, the first man to laugh would have been decapitated. Of course, the ex-Mayor might learn, if. given plenty of time. Summed op. he is too timid to preside over the Council." "Have yon any special Impressions of the Council men?"' Mayor Swerdllk was not asked. "I have a good many; that la. I have many, but not all good ones." was the reply he didn't make. I don't Ilk the way Baker Is always poking fun at Clyde, and this morning, when Joy, of the Seventh Ward, made a particularly telling speech on tele phone booths. Burgard. still at-large, laughed at him. I hlnk thla undig nified, although Mr. Burgard insists that it Is all right. Clyde also poked fun at Joy for copying Clyde's ordi nances; such things are not right. Will H. Daly's chief fault Ilea In talking ton loud. Some times you can hear him clear across the Council chamber, if you listen hard. I liked Councilman Dunning because ha always voted for the people, and because he 1 very quiet and dignified. Silver Tssgses Praised. "Councilman Jennings seems to be a sensible man, aa he aaid that a certain prlaoner should not hava been aent to tne rockplle lust for a little thing like getting drunk and abusing his wife. We need practical men In public life, and I didn't like to see Mr. Jennings iaughed at that way. Mr. Joy la easily the orator of the Council. I enjoyed his talks heartily, notwithstanding I did not know what they were all about. Councllmen Magulre, Menefee, Monks. Montag. Bchmeer. Wallace. Watklns and Wllhelm exhibited great courage In the face of the fact that It waa paat the luncheon hour and tha press tsbls was virtually deserted. "Speaking of the press table. I don't see anywhere in the charter where the reporters are given a voice In tha pro ceedings, but I raw some of them vot ing "yea- or 'nay' at times. I noticed one time they all voted, when their votes shut off a debate and brought the Council to adjournment, I think they were hungry by tha way they dashed out after the meeting. I don't see how that round-faced fellow I think hie name Is Bush, who sleeps so much of the time, ever gets hi copy up In time for the paper to go to awss. "Briefly stated. I Intend to eliminate all this monkey business in future. I feel sorry for my predecessor, but I shall show him and the genera) puo ilc what a Mayor really la I trust you will not print thla. but If you do, re member my picture.

There Is No Good Excuse for Any One in Portland Suffering Either From RHEUMATISM Sciatica or Neuritis During the last few days we have tried to make ourselves plain' to the readere of The Oregonlan that w. would guarantee) to relieve any caa. of Rheumatism. Sciatica or Neuritis In Portland. A great number of residents have taken advantage of our offer and will, we know, benefit therefrom. We went Into this problem to relieve th. sufferers, with tha idea that we would. In a short time, have the opportunity to prove the merits of Nurlto to every one. It Is entirely possible thst every, sufferer from Rheumatism, Sciatica or Neuritis hss already applied to ua for tbelr box of Nurlto. However, we want to be sure of it. and are therefor, contlnu. Ing our talk to the residents of Tortlsnd in order that no one may aay that he or ahe did not have an opportunity to be freed from this ailment. We have been told that pokkIMv some sufferers hava not maow application for Nurlto because of the fact that they are under the care of physi cians. To these sufferers, we wish to stste that Nurlto Is pot a patent medi cine. It Is a phvalrian's prescription. Likewise It Is free from oplstrs and narcotics, and therefore harmless. A sufferer from Rheumatism. & lattca or Neuritis, who at the present time is under ths csre of a physician, wa In vite to come to us and sstlefy himself that not only every statement we have made la true, hut thst we will satisfy any one of the merits of Nurlto.
