Brokers' Books Shown.
The Governor's account with Harris
& Fuller, which the Impeachment man
agers charge was a marginal or specu
lative account, not a loan account, was
i tain affnrAinar to the trtoks
of the firm, 'which Fuller presented
today. The tatrnegio irusi
It was recalled tonight, was in finan
cial difficulties that year and subse
quently it failed.
The account not only showed a long
series of borrowing on securities
brought to the firm by Sulzer, but also
the purchase and sale of other securi
ties, calls for "margin" and the de
posit by Sulzer of cash payments of
stock In response to these calls. The
account began In June. 1910, when the
Governor deposited 100 shares of Big
Four, worth at the then market price
18200, and obtained thereon a $6000
loan. The next day, however, he
bought through the firm 100 shares of
the same stock, against which he gave
no security except the equity In his
first 100 shares.
Tumble CalU for "Margie."
Then Big Four began to tumble In
the market and the rest of the account
was a record of efforts by Mr. Sulzer
to keep up the "margin." as disclosed
in letter Harris & Fuller wrote to him,
using that term In demanding that the
deficit In the account be made good.
Sixteen thousand dollars in cash,
which the impeachment managers con
tend formed part of the Governor's
campaign contributions, were used In
meeting these calls for "margin," ac
cording to the books.
Finally, in July, 1913, Lieutenant
1 M. Josephthal, a New Tork banker
and member of the Governor's staff,
came to the rescue by paying off a
debit balance against the account of
326,739 and taking up the securities.
At this time the Governor nad put into
the account, according to the books,
373.439 in stock or cash, and his net
loss, excluding the amount paid In by
Josephthal. was $8414.
Stock Transfer Tax Abandoned.
Especial emphasis was placed today
on the Governor's special message urg
ing the bill designed to double the tax
on transfers of stock. This measure
was Introduced February 4 by Senator
Stilwell. now a prisoner In Sing Sing,
and was not reported out of the com
mittee. - i .
The managers' counsel said they would
show that the reason the bill was not
reported was that the Governor had
withdrawn his advocacy of It. They
announced that in this connection they
-Would inquire closely . Into the public
statement made by the executive March
10 In announcing that he had "with
drawn the stock-transfer-tax bill." At
that time the Governor Is alleged
have said: "It has aroused consider
able opposition from sagacious busi
ness people throughout the state, and
I think much of this opposition is well
founded and the bill goes too far in
placing too great a burden of taxation
on a single industry."
Job Found (or Sareckr.
Attorney Stanehfield made an unsuc.
cessful attempt to introduce testimony
regarding the installation of Louis A.
Sarecky Into the Immigration service,
after his resignation as campaign sec
retary to the Governor. Judge Cullen
held that the testimony was not compe
tent at this time, but might be In
troduced later.
In outlining what he expected to
prove, Mr. Stanehfield sail the Gov
ernor induced the Civil Service Com
mission to give Sarecky, without ex
amination, a position as an examiner
of the alien Insane at $4000 a year,
whereas Sarecky received between
$1500 and 32500 as secretary.
'All of this was preliminary, how
ever, to an attempt to prove the charge
that the Governor induced Sarecky to
refuse to testify before the Frawley
committee. It will be asserted that
Sarecky assumed this attitude because
ha had been appointed to the position.
ELECTRIC COLLIER TRIED
Jupiter Has Trouble "With Foaming
Boilers on Sea Trip.
. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. The big
electric Naval collier Jupiter has re
turned to the Mare Island Navy-Yard
from a 48-hour sea trip to shake down
her propelling machinery. The elec
tric devices worked perfectly, accord
ing to a report to the Navy Depart
ment, but some trouble was experi
enced with foaming boilers and In the
keeping up of the steam pressure at the
turbine engines.
However, the electric drives speeded
the propeller up to 108 revolutions a
minute, only two short of the number
estimated as necessary to attain the
14 knots for which she was designed.
After some slight changes another trial
will be held in about a week.

that course of action."
Compromise la Adopted.
Parliamentary confusion over the
course to be followed with' the cotton
futures tax gave the House a bad half
hour, but it was finally decided that In
order to discuss4 it at all the House
would have to recede from Its original
disagreement to the Clarke amendment
of the Senate. Those Democrats who
opposed putting any cotton regulations

stand at this point and tried to prevent
the House from receding, believing that
such action would kill the entire propo

Representative Underwood then brought
forward his compromise amendment and
It was adopted.
Mr. Underwood admitted that he per
sonally would have preferred to have
the cotton futures question aeait wnn
separately but said the compromise
amendment would be greatly prefer
able to the Clarke amendment, for the
former would regulate cotton ex
changes while the latter simply tried to

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 80. (Spe

their wearers came in for a grilling
at the hands of Rev. Thomas A.' Boyer,
of the First Congregational Church,
last night. He devoted 15 minutes to
arraignment of the daring wearing ap

"Such costumes," he said, "cut clear

Obeying the instructions of United

h. international brldnre Into Eagle
Pass today, many carrying on their
backs such of their possessions as tney
could assemble-hurriedly.
Consul Blocker's warning to foreign
ers to quit Piedras Negras immediately
was in anticipation of rioting should
the Constitutionalists be forced to
abandon their provisional capital. As
therebel army is being driven north

General Maas the retreating insurgents

the Constitutionalists are expected to
fall back on either Matamoras, across
the line from Brownsville, let, or on
Piedras Negras.
United States troops are hurrying
from San Antonio to reinforce the gar

Seventy-three Americans crossed the

W. W. Vaughan. a well-known en

on constitutionalist notification that
the property would be destroyed, de
spite any protest to the American Gov

owned by federal sympathizers. Per
mission was refused to many Mexican
refugees and a large number of Jap
anese to enter the United States.
It was said that the Mexicans were
likely to become public charges and
that the Japanese had not made proper
application.
An appeal to Washington for excep

the Japanese are In danger of death
from the federals for having aided the

LARGE RENT Alt TO BE SAVED
Postmaster Myers Suggests Other
Offices May Come Here.
Looking into the local situation for
Senator Lane, Postmaster Myers as
certained that the Government is pay
ing out about S30.000 a year in rental
for the various i offices in different
buildings in the city. It la largely to
avoid this condition that the move
ment for centralization of all Federal
offices In one building was begun.
Postmaster Myers also suggested that
several offices, such as the Civil Serv
ice office for this district the postal
inspector's office and others nearly
all carrying payrolls of more than $60,
000 a year might be brought to Port
land if suitable office arrangements
were made, such as would be possible
in the Droposed building.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
has gone on record as opposed to any
alteration In the present plans, pre
ferring that a two-story structure for
nostal Durposes alone should be erect
ed on the new site and suggesting that
a central building for other Federal
offices can be erected later on the
present site of the Federal building.
The Ad Club committee on resolutions
prepared a resolution indorsing the
plan suggested by Postmaster Myers
and Secretary Lane, but at the last
meeting of the club this resolution
was tabled Indefinitely because of a
marked division of opinion among, the
members of the olub.
FLOOD REMEDY1S FOUND
ARMY BOARD WOULD TAKE
CONTROL OF BRIDGES.
Abutments Improperly Built Are De
clared to Develop Currents of
High Velocity.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Immediate
legislation to place under Federal con
trol the construction of all bridges and
their anDroaches. to prevent encroach
ments on channels In tributaries of
navigable rivers, was recommended In
a report submitted to Secretary uarri
son today by the Board ot Army En.
glneers appointed to Investigate the
floods which devastated the Ohio Valley
last Spring. Artificial contraction of
river channels and their adjacent
flood plains which caused the disaster,
the Board declared, can be prevented
onlv bv systematic comprehensive con
trol by the central government without
interference from tne state autnorraes.
The reDOrt says:
"Building lines have been pushed for.
ward into the streams, Drioge aout
ments have been carried out beyond
proper limits, piers so placed as to
choke the channels, and deck bridges
with Insufficient vertical clearance have
been used instead of through bridges
at proper elevations. On the flood
plains, cities and towns have been
located aa to act as dams and rail
road embnkments have been carried
from bluff to bluff. All these, by banK
ing up the water above them, caused
differences of level which developed
currents of high velocity whlcl caused
the unusual damages of the floods,
such as destruction of houses and
bridges, tearing up streets and loss of
life." .
The Board reported that It was not
at present prepared to recommend
means of preventing the occurrence of
high stages in the rivers, due to ex
cessive rainfall. '

The Story of a Million
On Saturday next, October
4th, our prescription file num

as apothecaries, we have dis

T1S, rnnpirtal nreSClTDtiQnS
(we do not include prescriptions refilled), and that dur
ing all this time no serious error has ever occurred in
carrying out this responsible fksk. We believe this
record, as to numbers and service, is not duplicated by,
any store on the Pacific Coast, or indeed, west of Chicago.
Mr. Clarke and Mr. "Woodward, the owners of this
business, have been associated in conducting it for over
thirty years and are still actively engaged in serving the
public and attending to every detail of their business, no
matter how trivial, securing to their patrons every conve
nience and improvement which their calling may suggest
We confess to a natural and proper feeling of pride
in our record, not of boasting, but the consciousness of
faithful service well rewarded by the confidence and pat
ronage of the people whom we serve. Our new store,
occupying the entire building, in its new location, beauti
fully lighted and equipped, and comprising, as it does, ten
selling floors, stands today as an evidence of what hard
work and intelligent effort can accomplish -America's
Largest Retail Drug Store.
In commemoration of this occasion, we shall on Sat
urday next, October 4th, present to every patron having
one or more prescriptions filled at our store, whether
original, refill or family recipe, a beautiful souvenir,
attesting our feeling of gratitude to the public, for patron
age heretofore extended. These souvenirs, handsomely
framed pictures selected from our art section, will be dis
played during the remainder of the week, in our Alder
street windows. Owing to the necessary limitations, we
will be unable to present more than one souvenir to each'
patron of our prescription department, and as there are a
variety of subjects we would earnestly request that a.
selection be made in person.

vorable to the plaintiff In the case of
Service & Wright Lumber Company
against the Sumpter Valley Railway
Company, involving alleged discrimina
tion in freight rates. The court, how
ever, clearly defines the difference be
tween commerce within a state and
interstate commerce, and cites statutes
which it would be well for railways
and shippers to heed.
Being engaged in the lumber busi

fendant charged it for shipping lumber
from Deer Creek Spur to Baker City, a
rate of 8.61 cents a ton a mile, which
was 2 a ton for the entire distance of
23 miles.
A Jury trial resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff of $3345.72, and the de

For Sallow, Blotchy,
Rough or Greasy Skins
(From Woman's Tribune.)
Some skins require constant groom
ing to keep them from becoming oily,
muddy, blotchy or rough, or If such
condition has developed, to overcome
it In such chronio cases it is particu
larly inadvisable to keep piling on cos
metics which clog the pores, collect
dust and dirt, making the complexion
worse than ever. It's n lot more sensi
ble to use ordinary mercollzed wax,
which literally absorbs a bad complex
Ion. Apply the wax, like cold cream,
before retiring; next morning, in
washing it off, you'll wash away fine,
flour-like particles ot the unsightly
cuticle. Repeat for a week or more
and you'll have an entirely new skin
soft, satiny, spotless and beautiful as
a child's. One ounce of mercollzed wax,
procurable at any druggist's. Is all
you'll need.
If the skin be wrinkled or flabby,
here's the best possible remedy: Mix
pint witch hazel and 1 ounce
powdered saxollte and use as a face
bath. It works like a miracle, yet is
entirely paruiw.-u .
