Flood of Sartorial Lore Is Heard
From Parisian Costumers, Who
Sue for $120 and "Corpus De

Should an evening grown have
sleeves?
Madame and Monsieur Regrlne, Pari
sian modistes, testified in Justice Bell's
court yesterday that It was largely a
matter of shoulders, the plump. Ivory
kind preferring straps, while the more
meager went strongly for sleeves.
Mrs. S. M. Rothchlld and her society
friends, on the other hand, assured the
court and jury that In their circle
sleeves were the only wear and their
absence was one of many defects In
the $120 grown for which the Regrlnes
were suing- Mrs. Rothchlld after she
had refused to accept It. In the out
come, the Jurors leaned to the sleeve
theorr. giving Judgment for the de
fendant. Seven Rrave and reverend seigneurs
sat owl-wise all yesterday listening to
a flow of sartorial lore, and If they
had glimmerings of their incompetence
they did not betray It, but gave ear
gravely. The sages were Justice Bell
nnd Jurors E. Versteeg, Sam Wagner.
T. M. Varnes. F. G. Aiken, Harry Allen
and Tom Gilman.
Cost of Confection" S 120.
"When Mrs. Rothchlld prepared to go
to Mrs. Nathan Simon's ball at the
Multnomah Hotel last October, she
commissioned Madame Regine, who In
private life Is Mrs. Sig Mesuse, to
build her a confection suitable to the
occasion, at a cost of $120. It did not
arrive until the night of the ball and
began to fall to plnces Immediately,
said the defendant. Maids at the hotel
were summoned twice to cobble the
carment together and It leaked pins
nil over the ballroom floor. It was so
tiarht, she said, that no posture but a
standing one was possible. After giv
ing the modiste two chances to remodel
and finish the .garment, she refused to
pay, and suit for the balance of 1105
was instituted.
Hanging accusingly on a chandelier
on the Justice's desk, the "corpus de
licti" was waved about throughout the
day. When Attorney Burke, for the
plaintiff, made his argument, he swung
it to the breeze like the banner of a
storming party, and at one of his rhe
torical periods flung It upon the table,
narrowly missing a bottle of ink. At
torney Citron and Madame and Mon
sieur sprang to the rescue and saved
the fabric from being blackened more
than It had been by the testimony.
Jury Decide (tulckly.
Pink silk, under black net with gold
ppangles, trimmed with black fur and
red rosettes, the bone of contention
was the focus of all feminine and most
masculine eyes In the courtroom. Its
prlaring defects were not apparent, but
the defendant left the Jury the Impres
sion that Madame had artfully doctored
it In preparation for the trial.
The Jury deliberated but a few min
utes and then returned a verdict for
Mrs. Rothchlld, leaving Madame Re
sine In possession of the gown and
?15 previously paid.

The purpose of this movement is to
counteract the campaign o those who
are opposed to the action of the last
Congress on these questions.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
was appealed to to aid in the cam
paign in behalf of the free tolls. The
Chamber made an appropriation of $200
for this purpose. This will form a part
of a fund of $1060 which the members
of the Associated Chambers of Com

tributed for this purpose.
A pamphlet will . be issued, and the
main question that will be answered
therein is, "Has the United States the
right to exclude from the use of the
canal any class of foreign vessels such
as railroad-owned ships?"
A booklet of 100 pages will be printed

"HOLDUP" IS EXPLAINED
Ale Goldstein Arrested for Selling
Revolver to 0ear Xelson.
That he thought Sheriff Word was
after him for carrying a revolver and
wished to "beat the officer to it," was
the explanation made yesterday to De
tectives Hellyer and Howell, by Oscar
Nelson, who was captured Saturday
night by Patrolman Christofferson on
a charge of holding up the family of
Henry E. Dosch in their automobile
on the Slavin road.
Nelson explained that he had been
"Jungling" around Hillsdale, with a
big supply of whiskey. He was firing
his revolver when a man in an automo
bile passed and threatened to set the
Sheriff after him. Accordingly, when
another car came along he thought it
carried the Sheriff, and waylaid it to
frustrate arrest. After finding that
the driver had no revolver he let the
car pass on.
The detectives questioned Nelson as
to where he bought the weapon and he
led them to the shop of Alex Goldstein,
208 Main street. They sent the pris
oner ahead and followed him in time
to hear an argument about the sale
of the revolver. In which Goldstein ad
mitted the transaction. He was ar
rested on a charge of selling firearms
without a permit.

NEW SHIP IS HERE
John A. Hooper Makes Port
land for First Time.
CARRYING CAPACITY GREAT
"With Reduction In Rates North
bound Traffic Declared Unprof
itable and Southbound Cargo
Is Hope " of Owners.
The arrival last night of the new
steamship John A. Hooper, which will
engage in coastwise trade, has started
various discussions about the recent
cut in freight rates.
The Hooper, a single-ender, or en-gines-astern
type, though not the
largest vessel by a few tons, has the
greatest carrying capacity. She came
around Cape Horn on her maiden voy
age in February and made several trips
to Puget Sound, but this is her first
trip to Portland. She brought 1321 tons
of cement consigned to F. T. Crowe
& Co.
Such vessels as the Olson & Mahony,
Camlno and the Hooper, not to mention
the many new vessels of smaller carry
ing capacity, have reduced the freight
tariff on wheat from $2.50 a ton to J1.B0
in the last few weeks; the rate quoted
being for San Francisco. A decided
reduction In lumber-carrying rates is
reported also.
It Is said there is little monev in
bringing freight north, as the tariff is
declared to be arranged almost to a
stevedore basis, so that the freight
south has to make the profit. The out
look for coastwise shipping therefore is
not brightened much by the increasing
number of ships, as it is not improbable
that some may be laid up.
BEAR HAS 316 PASSENGERS
Beaver Delayed In Sailing by I-ate
Arrival of Travelers.
The "Big 3" steamer Bear, in charge
of Captain Nopander, arrived at 3:30
P. M. yesterday, after making a slow
passage up the river in comparison
with the records set by her sister ship,
the Beaver.
The Bear brought 316 passengers and
1800 tons of general cargo. She left
San Francisco three hours and 45 min
utes late. The first 12 hours were not
pleasant owing to high winds, but after
that fine weather set in and all had
an enjoyable trip. Among the passen
gers were a number of people coming
to attend the convention of the Church
of the Nazarenes here.
The Beaver left for California at
9:30, one-half hour late, yesterday
morning, caused by the arrival of many
passengers delayed by a train. She
carried 330 passengers and 2600 tons
of freight. The list contained many
vacationists.
SIX $2,000,000 SHIPS WAYTED
Hamburg-American Company Asks
for Tenders in East.
The Hamburg - American Steamship
Company has asked a Philadelphia ship
building company to tender bids for
six steamships to be used in the coast
wise trade through the Panama Canal,
each to cost about J2.000.000.
These ships will fly the American
flag, as the present laws do not allow
a foreign vessel to engage in American
coastwise trade.

BOOKLETS HELP PORTLAND
Wealthy Resident of Turkey Figures
on Coming to Coast.
Various libraries and reading rooms
In the United States have been sup
plied with literature on Oregon by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce. These
are filed for reference purposes and
prove ot invaluable benefit to Portland
and Oregon. The chamber is in receipt
of & card from the Alpha Cave Arvan
Altruists of Des Moines, la., stating:
we nave received and thank you for
14 valuable booklets, some of which
are real works of art. This contribu
tion to our reading room has been prop
erly classified and Is readily accessible
to our members and their guests."
In the various libraries the books of
the chamber receive a great deal of at
tention. This is especially true of the
chamber's literature which Is kept on
file In the offices of the United States
Consuls in foreign countries.
Yesterday the chamber received a let
ter from Colonel J. S. Parke, of the
U. P. Army, who is now in Belgium,
suggesting that literature relating to
farming, fruitraising and dairying be
sent to one of the wealthiest men in
Constantinople, who has expressed a
desire to emigrate to the United States
and Is thinking favorably of the Pa
cific Coast. A full complement of lit
erature of the chamber, including the
fine colored album, the Oregon Primer,
the book on Portland, the Chamber of
Commerce Bulletin and the 11 pam

LOGGERS TO CELEBRATE
Kelso Camps- to Have Own Fun on
Fourth of July.
Loggers employed in the camps around
Kelso, Wash., will not go away to cele
brate the Fourth of July this year;
they will have the celebration right in
the logging camps. Charles S. Seegar,
seoretary 'of the industrial T. M. C A.
at Kelso, has charge of the celebration,
and believes It will be a great success.
"We shall have a regular field day
right in the camp," said Mr. Seegar,
who is passing several days at the
Portland Y. M. C. A. "The men will
have all kinds of contests and games
and expect a rousing good time. This
plan is better every way than the old
idea of going away somewhere to 'cele
brate.' The members of our industrial
Y. M. C. A. are working out the ar
rangements themselves."

LA FRANCE CASE IS UP
INSTTRAXCE COtrPAXY SEEKS TO
RECOVER. StOXEY PAID.
T. C. Wofford, Made Party Defend
ant, Contests Claim, Declaring
He Is Innocent Purchaser.
An equity suit was filed yesterday in
the United States Circuit Court by the
Postal Life Insurance Company, one
of the companies which J. C. La France
is charged with having defrauded. La
France, who. with his wife as an ac
complice, was arrested at Bandon, Or.,
where he was engaged in the lumber
business under the name of J. A.
Ferger. is charged with havliig sub
stituted a dead body for his own,
which his wife identified, as La France
and collected insurance from several
companies.
The suit filed yesterday has for its
purpose the compelling of the disclo
sure of the present ownership and
manner of acqnistlon of property
owned by La France and presumably
purchased by him with the money
fraudulently obtained, which was later
assigned to other people.
J. J. La France, Emily L. La France,
his wife; John B. Cleland. G. T. Tread
gold, J. C Wofford and the Modern
Woodmen of America are named as
defendants.
J. C. Wofford, Who 1s La France's
brother-in-law, appeared before Judge
Bean yesterday and testified to the
manner in which a sawmill at Ban
don, supposed to have been purchased
by La France with the insurance mon
ey, was transferred to him.
Wofford came to Bandon from Loui
siana at the solicitation of Mrs. La
France, his sister. He said ho asked
why La France had changed his name,
but that lie was not told.
Wofford is contesting the claims of
the insurance companies to the mill
on the grounds that he was an Inno
cent purchaser.
He was represented yesterday by G.
T. Treadgold. a Bandon attorney, to
whom he mortgaged the mill for $3000
after it had been seized by officers, fol
lowing La France's arrest.
Judge Bean set July 3 as the date for
further hearing of the case.

Wan Weary
and Worn Out
If You Feel Fagged to a Finish and Utterly
Used Up Hera is Quick Relief.
S. S. s. Makes Your Blood Corfnscles
Unite for Mutual Protectioau
Half the people you meet complain
of weary muscles, stagnant brain,
jangled nerves, and a wonderful desire
to lay down and Just quit. Most of
these people have been using nervines
that spasmodically flare up the nerves
only to die down again, as die they
must. Avoid nerve stimulants. Bear
In mind that this worn out feeling Is
due to poor blood, to bacteria In the
water you drink: to the multiplying
of destructive germs in the blood
faster than they can be overcome by
the white corpuscles: and to what ia
known as auto-toxemia, that condition
where the venous or Impure blood
accumulates faster than it can be re
placed by the red arterial blood.
The medicinal value of the com
ponents of S. S. S. is relatively Just
as vital and essential to well-balanced
health as those of the grains, meats,
fats and sugars of our food.
If you feel played out go to any
Amg store and ask for a bottle of
S. S. S., Swift's Sure Specific. Here is
a remedy that gets at work in a
twinkling; it Just naturally rushes
right into your blood, scatters serms
right and left, up and down and side
ways. Tou feel better at once, not from a
stimulant, not from the action of
drugs, but from the rational effect of
a natural medicine Just as active and
Just as timely as to a man who has
been lost in the mountains. Is about
starved and comes across a settler Just
cooking a savory meal of good honest
beef. Do not neglect to get a bottle
of 8. S. S. to-day. It will make you
feel better in Just a few minutes. It
Is prepared only in the laboratory' of
The Swift Specific Co.. 137 Swift Bldg.,
