Circuit Judge Morrow refused ball yesterday to L. Pewether, who is In the County Jail in default of payment of a judgment of 12700 secured against him by Hattle Yott. Attorneys for Pe wether are seeking to obtain his re lease on a writ of habeas corpus and in doing so are attacking the validity of the Oregon statute permitting ex ecution against the body for debt- The writ la made returnable today. Mrs. Yott alleged in her complaint that In 1908 Pewether purchased from her a rooming-house at East Morrison street and Grand avenue for J 1500. giving In return a note for 11500 and shares of stock, both of which turned out to be worthless. She started suit to rescind the contract on the ground of fraud, filing her complaint in No vember, 1913. Pewether had disposed of the property in the meantime and did not answer the complaint. Judg ment was secured against him by de fault. Including 1500 exemplary dam ages. The woman's attorneys could find nothing to satisfy the judgment and they seized tbe body of the defendant, under tlie Oregon statute which per mits imprisonment for icfot where there has been fraud in contracting It. "What would be tbe use of this stat ute If the man could be released on ball?" asked Judge Morrow. "If the facts are as stated. 1 might say also that the man stands a mighty good chance of being confined indefinitely unless he pays up. We had a corres ponding case here not 'long ago and the law was pretty well threshed out." PERSONAL MENTION. F. U. Stewart, a Kelso banker, is at the Oregon. L. C. Breithanpt. a Barns rancher.

All the railroads that were "tied up" last week on account of snow in the Cascade mountains have unearthed their tracks and resumed service Trains are operating again between Eastern points and the Puget Sound districts. While the roads radiating out of Portland never suffered in the least, the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Milwaukee were "up against It" for weeks at a time. In fact, they encountered such difficulties in getting their trains through . the snow-bound hills that much of their perishable freight was handled by the O.-W. R & N. and North Bank lines through the Portland territory. Advices received yesterday by local agents of the Great Northern and Mil waukee show that they have resumed service. The Northern Pacific opened up the day before. Portland has been fortunate, as usual this year, while the cities on the north suffered. The snow blockades occurred In tiie mountains west of Pasco. East of Pasco the lines were open. Through service was possioie, therefore, between Portland and all Eastern points, either via Pasco or via the North Bank direct to Spokane, or via the O.-W. R. & N. route straight to the East. Grand Jury Indicts Five. Two indictments were returned by the grand Jury yesterday against Del V. Meagher In connection with the vice crusade.

Orne, contributing to tne de linquency of Hazen M. Wright, a minor; Sam Brantigan, larceny of a violin from J.- E. Weaver. Hazen Wright is one of tbe boys involved in the vice cases. He is being used as a witness by the state against several men. BUSINESS IS BRISK regarding the right of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company to maintain tracks on North Front street. Oriental Shipping Stimulated by New Line's Entrance. PORTLAND OUTLOOK GOOD "LIinmsotana In 1911 paid Is. 802. 869. SO In premiums to old-Una life Insurance com panies. Coming of Hamburg-American Com; pany Attracts Other Steamship Operators to This Port and Competition Likely. Stimulus has been given Oriental business from this port through the announcement of the appointment of agents last week by the Hamburg American -directorate, as some export ers report that they have been asked to bid on business for delivery as early as April, but so far they are not closing contracts for direct delivery irom mis cltv owing to the fact the Hamburg American has not made known its tariffs. It is estimated that close to 100.000 barrels of flour have been sold by ex porters here since January 1, and much of that could be moved from Portland if transportation facilities are avail able at the time delivery is specified. It Is said that between 160,000 ana zuu, 000 barrels have been sold In the North west and a large amount will be shipped by way of Puget Sound. The coming of the Hamburg-American and the spirited buying early in the month have attracted other steamship op erators to Portland and there will probably be competition for the busi ness by Spring. Frits Kirchhoff, general agent for the Hamburg-American and who will make his headquarters here. Is await In-? -definite instructions from Hamburg, but meanwhile is being besieged by dozens of applicants for positions, by shippers who want Information and others with inquiries. While there is an abundance of time for such details, as the first steamer Is not due until April, exporters are anxious to ascer tain what terms they can depend on in accepting business. Also a dock must be arranged for and numerous otner thlrgs straightened out. Officials of the fleet at Hamburg are exDected to .outline what, they desire in the way of loading and dis charging facilities, as they have been apprised by G. Giese, who was here last year, of conditions and as to what steps he took to secure berths or his recommendations as to what should be done in that respect. ITREPROOF RULES DROPPED Heavy Mill Construction to Be Al lowed on Waterfront. News relished by water-front tax payers has leaked out. The Commis sion of Public Docks will not Insist on fireproof construction In the har bor limits in cases where new oocks are erected or the existing structures largely rebuilt. When the water-front building ordinance is passed, which will be at the next meeting, it is saia its clauses will be for the use of heavy mill construction, rather than concrete. The change Is said to be welcome to firemen as well as property owners.- At meetings held to consider the or dinance, attended by many dock .own ers, it was argued that when heavy timbers were used fire has little chance to work rapidly aa they were con sumed slowly, while- firewalls con fined the blaze largely. While adopt ing the heavy mill construction idea, the Commlrslon will aim to encourage permanent foundations and In that connection it Is hoped to have seawalls, at least in a portion of the harbor. The Commission was to have met to day, but instead the members will go Into conference with Mayor Rushlight DIVINE SARAH'S DAILY ROUTINE IS STRENUOUS Actress Is Busily Engaged in Various Duties 17 Hours Each Day Com panions Devoted to "Their Queen." MADAME BERNHAKUT'8 awake day begins at 10 A. M. and ends at 3 o'clock the next morning. With the "Di vine Sarah" two-a-day vaudeville Is a workaday life and she is tied to routine one would deem Impossible for her to follow did not actual sight of her move ments convince that she is up, about and around for 17 hours out of the 34. The special train of Madame Bernhardt rolled into the terminal yards Monday morning at 7:30 o'clock and while railroad hands by the dozen hosed, scrubbed and wiped her car, colonial. Madame Bernhardt slept. She ado her first appearance at 10 o clock sharp, peeped through the car window to read the wealher story told Dy tne skies, ordered her maid to discard her heavier furs she wore in Seattle for lighter skins and in a Parisian Jiffy she was ready for breakfast. Madame Bernhardt eats heartily ana her menu is the best with demi-tasse at the end. Whoever said Madame Berndardt has a French chef was mis informed. Three big black negroes, clad in lily white, prepare her cuisine and Emll, a Frenchman, who has been with the "Divine Sarah" tor a quarter of a century, bosses the Job as steward. but not as cook. Breakfast over, Madame reads, attends to her corres pondence, chats with her "Jame oe eompanle" and goes through Delsarte exercise all her own until matinee time a at hand. Then she Is whlskefi to the Orpheum in the limousine that is at her command day and night. Two Men Maaage Affairs. Two managers accompany Madame Bernhardt. One is Monsieur Louis Mercanter, her own personal manager who comes with her from Paris, and the other Edward J. Sullivan, who is managing the Bernhardt tour as the representative of Martin Beck of the Orpheum circuit. The first duty of Mr. Sullivan upon arriving at a new spot on the Bernhardt itinerary is to select a site for the parking of Madame Bern hardt's special car away from the clangs of the city. Railroad officials at first chose Twenty-first and York streets as a nice Isolated region for the madame's wheely abode, but Mr. Sul livan with Hibernian sternness said, "Nay." 'The street is paved, streetcars are distant, and the vicinity Is quiet. argued the railroadmen. But Madame Bernhardt elects to be nouseo wnere there are no streets and where flowers and green shnibbry and a turn of the river always are In view. Forthwith East Mllwaukie was chosen lor -Macame Bernhardfs car and It is there that she Is living throughout her week's en gagement In Portland. Madame Bernnarot ooes not spurn hotel Ufa entirely. She has engaged a suite of rooms at Hotel Portland and at times In the week she will mingle with the dining-room throng. Xevrapaper Stories Task. When the matinee is over Madame Bernhardt may take a spin around the city In her automobile, but only for an hour at the most. She devotes almost all tbe late afternoon to writ ing and It is then she prepares her letters which now are being pub lished by The Oregonlan and the Chicago Record-Herald. Madame Bern hardt writes every word of her syndi cate newspaper letters, crosses every "t." dots every "I" and only when she pronounces her literary work complete, Is it turned over to her private secre tary, who translates It Into English, typewrites it and submits it to the madame for her final approval before dropping it In the mailbox for Its journey eastward. Madame Bernhardt has set herself the task of writing two of her newspaper letters a day and she has not faltered once In her vaude ville sojourn. Then comes lunch a light one and madame Is ready for the theater again. After the night show Madame Bern hardt enjoys the heartiest meal of the day and by the time the last dish has been put away the clock has begun a new day. but the "Divine Sarah" has yet to remain awake for three hours to complete her grinding routine. From midnight until 3 o'clock In the morning she plays dominoes, or maybe checkers, with Monsieur Lou Tellegen, her lead ing man. and Mr. Sullivan. Not until the stroke of 3 does Madame Bern hardt say, "bon nuit." Attendants Are Devoted. Madame Bernhardt's routine is the routine of her entire company. Every one in the troupe dances .attention on the actress. If she goes to make a step a dozen hands are outstretched to help her. "Why do you do that? Madame Bern hardt Is not feeble," was said to Mr. Tellegen yesterday. "Madame Bernhardt is our queen. We adore her," was his answer. Mademoiselle Seylor, "dame de eom panle" with Madame Bernhardt, has been affiliated with the renowned actress for the past 20 years and sev eral of her servants have grown gray In her service. "We live for her and would die for her," is the translation of the whole hearted French devotion the entire Bernhardt company pays to the world's greatest actress. Twenty thousand dollars has been offered Madame Sarah Bernhardt by John Harris, of New York, for the bed she has used for the past 25 years In playing "Camille." Edward J. Sul livan, representative of Martin Beck, general manager of the Orpheum in managing the Bernhardt show, re ceived a letter from Mr. Harris yes terday setting forth that be would pay $30,000 for the bed and that if the bargain were closed Madame Bernhardt need not turn it over to htm until she had no further use for it Harris indi cates In his letter that he is a relic hunter. Madame Bernhardt has the proposal under consideration. The "Divine Sarah" declares she will not part with the bed until death as. when she Is at home in Paris, it Is Installed In her home and that she finds it to be far more comfortable than a modern bed. Tbe bed is part of the set purchased by Madame Bern hardt more than 25 years ago and it has been on the stage In every part of the world except Alaska.- , GOLDEN" GATE FTX.UXY SOLD Vessel. Will Probably Go On South ern California Route. In a bill of sale filed at the Cus tom House for the transfer of the steamer Golden Gate yesterday, from U P. Branstetter to Charles P. Doe. the latter being the directing head of the North Pacific Steamship Company, the consideration is given as $5000, but is believed that a larger amount figured In the transaction. George W. Berg yesterday was em ployed as watchman, and he will move aboard the steamer to remain until early Spring, when she will be given an overhauling and prepared for her new service, which Is expected to be between Southern California and Mex ico. Mr. Doe operated the steamer Eureka there for a time, but after the outbreak of the Mexican revolution she was withdrawn and operates only to STEAMER INTELLIGENCES True to Arrive. Name. From. Date.

As it has been determined to retire tbe flreboat George B. Williams from active service for 60 to 90 days, when the David Campbell is ready for ac ceptance, which will be In about six weeks or two months, additional time will be allowed in which to select a West Side fireboat station and con struct the necessary quarters. The Williams is said to be In need of an overhauling, so when the David Campbell is ready she can be broken In at the East Washington-street sta tion. The latter has been returned to Supple's yard after having her boilers, engines and pumps lifted Into place and Smith Brothers & Watson are making headway with a large force in getting the heavy gear permanently located and making the connections. Marine Notes. E. A. Beats, district forecaster, says that the river here will fall slightly today and tomorrow. 'The Willamette Is shown to be receding at every point south of Portland and the Columbia Is stationary. J. J. Moore & Co. have chartered the British steamer Hawksbead for a period of ten months at 6s 4d, and she will load lumber for Sydney, receiving cargo at Eureka, here and on Puget Sound. On the arrival of the United States Army transport Sherman at San Fran cisco Friday, her master reported having spoken the schooner Kona. bound from the Columbia River for New Zealand, in latitude 35:11 north; Longitude 130:36 west. The schooner left the river January 10. Aboard the British bark Kllloran, which cleared yesterday for Queens town or Falmouth for orders, are 109, 785 bushels of wheat valued at $98. 807. She will leave down today in tow of the steamer Ocklahama, which proceeded to Astoria yesterday with the British bark Iverna. Owing to the movements of the British bark Inverclyde being re stricted until permission could be obtained from the United States Marshal, as she was libeled yesterday by A. Berg, she missed an opportunity to shift Into a berth at Irving dock to load and the French ship Thiers was given the place. Lumber laden for San Pedro the schooner Alvena cleared yesterday, having aboard 940,000 feet, and she will be towed from St. Johns to the lower harbor today. The steamer Olympic cleared for San Pedro with 700.000 feet and the steamer Yosemlte for the same port with 850,000 feet. The latter left here yesterday for St. Helens and will load the entire cargo there. Teunedo Matalchi and JCatayama Futsuka, sailors who deserted from the Japanese tramp Shlnsei Maru and were retaken while hiding beneath Oceanic dock late Tuesday night, were ordered arrested on a departmental warrant yesterday by J. H. Barbour. Immigration inspector, and will be held in custody during the stay of the ves sel, possibly until after she sails, and the owners must pay costs. Mr. Bar bour says he adopted the plan as one that may have an effect on the whole sale desertions that take place here from Japanese vessels. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND. Jan. 29.

White, state health of ficer, returned yesterday morning from a brief visit to Pendleton, where be went to Investigate the sewage problem of the Western State Asylum and to ex amine Judge G. W. Phelps, who is seri ously ill with smallpox. "I found Judge Phelps very low with smallpox," said Dr. White. "His tem perature was 104 degrees and he was delirious, but I have hopes of his re covery. Judge Phelps thinks that he contracted the disease at La Grande, where there has been a slight epidemic of smallpox. He has not been vaccinated for years and his vaccination did not take. "The value of vaccination as a pre ventative of smallpox is demonstrated In the judge's family. His daughter, who was vaccinated when her father's disease was made known, has had a very light attack, but Mrs. Phelps and her sister escaped entirely. "The new Western State Asylum, of which Dr. W. D. McNary is superin tendent, is a magnificent up-to-date building. The present Legislature is asked to provide funds for a sewage plant. The sewage now empties Into the Umatilla River. "All the patients but one were happy. That one is a mathematical genius. The windows instead of having bars have steel frames around small panes of glass. This patient has figured out that there are 6320 windows and that it would take one man a year and seven months to wash all of them. "What's all this for?' he reasons. 'Bars would be better, as they weren't washed where we came from." An amusing incident connected with the transportation of the patients was that of a female patient who ap proached a brakeman at the next sta tion reached after The Dalles and In formed the brakeman that she had boarded the train by mistake and would get off and wait for the regu lar train. The brakeman. anxious to accommodate the woman, was opening the door for her when a guard ap proached him and Informed him that the passenger was a patient.

Alleging discrimination in favor of other buildings, which he charges have been assessed only 1H- cents a kilowatt hour for electric current, while he has paid 24 cents, in addition to a "stand by" charge of $24.76 a month for the Henry building, Charles K. Henry has started in Circuit Court suit to collect $2276.10, the amount which he declares he was overcharged by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company from October, 1903. to August, 1912, in clusive "Tho defendant has exacted a va riety of prices and imposes different terms and conditions for like and con temporaneous service," asserts the Henry complaint, which was filed by Attorneys Bauer & Greene and A. H. McCurtain. The suit is really in the nature of a test case to secure an opin ion from the Circuit Court on the right of a public service corporation to charge different rates. The contention of the company is that rates are charged in proportion oat Lriwrotorv Finds M Vondsrful Results How Being Acccm plishsd by a Herbal Extract frcm the Swift Laboratory in Atlanta.

INDIGESTION AND RHEUMATISM People With Good Digestion Do Not mve cneu matism. The blood is the product of digestion. Whatever sort of food is digested In the stomach is absorbed into the blood. If the food is badly digested this is also absorbed Into the blood. If the food sours In the stomach before diges tion, or during digestion, the acids are absorbed into the blood. These acids in the blood produce a condition known ss rheumatism. The acids are liable to produce microscopic crystals. These crystals are depositea In the ligaments and cartilages, caus ing rheumatism of the joints. Some times In the bones, producing periodic pains every time a storm approaches. Sometimes in the muscles, producing lumbago, stiff neck, myalgia, and mus cular rheumatism generally. Fe-rn-Ds Corrrrli Dta-eatfoit. The reason that Pe-ru-na relieves such cases is easy to understand. Pe-ru-na corrects digestion. Pe-ru-na cor rects digestion partly by hurrying It. Pe-ru-na does not furnish any artificial dlgestant. it simply assists Nature in doinsr its own digesting. In this way tne proaurra oi aiges- tlon are more normal- The blood Is not filled with imperfectly digested food. No acids accumulate In the stomach while Pe-ru-na Is being taken. Thus rheumatism Is prevented. It is a great deal better to prevent a disease than to try to cure It. But even after rheumatism has begun the condition that caused it ought to be removed If possible. Good Digestion Stops Rheumatism. The first thing to do is to secure good digestion, then if it Is necessary specific medicines for rheumatism may be taken. But until the digestion Is made perfect It is of little or no use to take medicines for rheumatism. To produce good digestion Pe-ru-na should be taken.
