Yesterday was a day of river trag edies. Edward M. Chllds. 20. treasurer of the Kmpress Theater, and W. H. Ewln. 21. and son of Dr. W. H. Ewln. of 875 East Taylor street, were drowned in Columbia Slough, and Arthur D. Dix, recently of the Second Field Artillery, lost his life at Bundy's bathing pa vilion. The body of a 3-weeks-old baby, with Its skull crushed, was found beached beneath the pier of the Pacific Elevator Company. It is believed the child had been killed with an ax and thrown Into the river. According to N. J. Taylor. 1171 Kerby street. who witnessed the drowning of Childs and Ewln. the two secured a shell rowboat from the Ore Con Boathouse about midnight Satur day. They remained in the boat until 8:20 o'clock Sunday morning, when the drowning occurred. Taylor said he was standing about 250 feet from where the boys were fishing, when one of the young men rocked and cap slxed the boat. Chllds Attempts Rescue. Taylor said he saw the boys struggle to throw off their coats and hats and then Childs. who is said to be a good swimmer, started toward the shore, about ) feetaway. As he neured the bank he turned around and swam back to assist Ewln, who was struggling desperately. The latter could not swim. Taylor says that he ran toward the scene, but before he was able to leach the struggling men Ewin had grabbed Childs and both sank from view. Taylor said he watched the spot for several minutes, but the young men did not rise to the surface again. The harbor patrol was summoned. Childs was formerly employed by the Sullivan & Considine Theater Interests at Seattle before coming to Portland It months ago. He has since acted as treasurer of the Empress. He resided with his mother, Mrs. E. Childs, at the Claypooi Apartments, tti Clay street. A letter received by Childs from his mother at Seattle shortly after his re moval to Portland was found in a pocket of the coat discarded in the water by the drowned man. Boats) Leave at Midnight. Employes at the Oregon Boathouse, where Ewin and Child secured the craft which brought them to their death, say Ewln. Childs and several other young men rented boats about midnight. .Saturday. All but the Chllds and Ewin boat were returned to the boathouse before daylight. The names of those who accompanied the two Sat urday night are not known. Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Ewin, young Ewin's parents, iere overuome with Brief when the news of their son's oeath reached them last night. Mrs. Childs also was prostrated. The scene of the drowning was about 600 yards north of the intersection of Columbia boulevard and Vancouver avenue. Uatker Drowns In Tank. Arthur D. Dix was drowned while diving at Bundy's bathing pavilion about 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It is believed Dix struck his head upon the boards at the bottom of the swim ming tank and was knocked uncon scious. His body was recovered from the tank a few moments later by En gineer Karl Prehn. of the Harbor Pa troL A slight beating of the heart was noticeable when Dix was removed from the water and a hurry call was sent to the Pacific States Telephone & Tele graph Company for a pulmotor. IT. Ira F. Beeman. of the City Health office. Dr. J. Lome Manion, of the Marine Corps recruiting station, and Dr. J. Ettleson worked over Dix for nearly two hours and at 5:05 the phy sicians pronounced him to be dead. Dix was honorably discharged from the Second Field Artillery, stationed in the Philippine Islands, and left the service at San Francisco three weeks ago. i.'olonel Charles A. Varnum, local recruiting officer, said last night that Dix was not known in local Army eir- les and It is believed he enlisted In this city three years ago. Infant Body Found. He was bathing at the pavilion In company with a young woman. He had resided for the past two weeks at the Modern Hotel. Second and Couch streets. No Identification let ters or discharge, papers were found among his effects. Early yesterday morning a dock em ploye at the Pacific Elevator Company discovered the dead body of an in fant beneat'.: the piers, beached on the sand. Harbormaster Speier was called and removed the body to the morgue. According to Captain Speier, the skull of the infant had been split In two, evidently with an ax. It Is believed the baby was about three weeks old. had been murdered and thrown into the liver about a week ago. Coroner Slocum will hold an Inquest over the bodies of the drowned men and of the Infant today. W. II.

HONOR PLAN IS ADOPTED Ivvcn Days for Kven .Numbers Xew stom Which Is Kxpected to Overcome Shortage and Pub lic Obedience Is Vrged. Without any particular ceremony the new Portland sprinkling rules were put in force yesterday. Until the end of the present Summer season those living In houses with even numbers will be expected to sprinkle their lawns only on even dates of the month, while the residents of odd-numbered houses will be requested to restrict their sprink ling to odd dates. The sprinkling hours have been ex tended to Include between 5 and 8 In the morning and 5 r. M. and midnight. Previously residents were not allowed to sprinkle their lawns after 9 o'clock at night. In addition. It was announced yes terday that the keepers of schoolhouses and other public buildings would be allowed to use water on the public lawns from 5 A. M. to 6 P. M., inclu sive. This arrangement is made in or der to relieve the big load that is put on the water mains between the hours of 5 and 9 A. M. Water officials say that few people water their lawns in the mornings. "In making this ruling we are simply placing the people on their honor to adhere to It." said L S. Kaiser, super intendent of the city water department yesterday. "If we can get one-fourth of the residents on the east side of the river to sprinkle on alternate days, the object of the ruling will be accom plished. "Should there be any trouble attached to It, we may not resort to such stren uous means as shutting off the water supply or causing arrests. There Is a law against the waste of water. Whether or not every individual violation of the new rule might be construed under that law is yet, perhaps, a debatable question. "But we have other resorts that we can put into effect. In some cities dur ing emergency times, residents are not allowed to use patent sprinklers, but must do all of their sprinkling with Edward M. Child. Treasurer of Empress Theater, Who Was Drowned Yesterdny. hand sprinklers. It has been found that people will not use anywhere near so much water when they have to hold the nozzle. "Personally, I believe residents will be broad-minded enough to co-operate with us to the extent of complying with the new rule. Their neighbors are apt to criticise them if they don't. The present emergency demands that some thing be done to alleviate the shortage of water. Up to date for the present season over 14,000 applications for sprinkling have been made, and per haps at least another thousand will ap ply for water before the remaining six weeks of the Summer season are over. Last year for the whole year less than 13.000 applications were made. A few years ago the condition became so bad that we had to call a halt to sprink ling all over the city. Then it was necessary to send men out In taxlcabs to see that the law was not violated." "THE SPOILERS" RETURN Alaska Story In Film Form at Ilelllg Again by Request. Rex Beach's stirring tale of the north, "The Spoilers," Is again at the Heillg Theater, Broadway and Taylor streets, by popular request. The scenes in the stupendous production are a triumph in photography. The characters, some of the best-known ones in the motion picture world, include Katherine Wil liams, Bessie Eyton and William Far num. The part of Glenister as taken by Farnum is one of the strongest parts of the play. Katherine Williams, with her splendid facial expressions, is an ideal Cherry Malotte. Bessie Eyton, whose long, thick curly hair is her chief attraction. Is by no means a mediocre actress, and she interprets the part of Helen Chester with a sweetness and vigor that combine to make the characterization a most attractive one. The plot of the play is so well known that It needs no introduction. The entire play is one of the most beautiful ones yet shown here. The play as adopted to motion pictures is superior, if anything, to the stage pro duction. The blowing up of the mines, the storm, the scene between Helen and Struve at "The Sign of the Sled," the tight between McNamara and Glenister, all these scenes are striking and vivid in the portrayal of the life of the north. The film will be run all this week. Thursday will be "Muts' " day. Half the proceeds of the performances will be devoted to the Newsboys' Home by the new organization. PERSONAL MENTION. F. C.

To the hest nf their knowledge, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Weir are the last sur vivors of the Commodore Perry ex pedition to Japan in 1853 and 1854. Mr. Hardy lives at the end of the T.-1 U.lhta urthfl lust Outside the city limits, where he has a little farm, and Mr. Weir lives at Cooper Moun tain, three and a half miles southeast of Beaverton. IT. II. .,.,.- ant.rorl 11A TTnlfpd StRtt'S Navy August 13, 1852. shipping at the o..rt,.lj-lv- Navv.varii nn the slOOD-Of- war St. Mary's. He was transferred soon afterward from the St. Mary's, at Norfolk, to the Mississippi, a side wheel steam frigate, and went with her to Funchal, Madeira Islands, Com modore Perry being in command. The Mississippi had sails, being bark rigged, and when she got into the trade winds, steam was shut off. From Funchal she went to St. Helena, from thence to Cape Town, to Point de Galle, Ceylon, to Singapore, to Macao, China, to Whampo, on the Can ton River and finally to Shanghai, via Ning Foo. Mr. Hardy Joins Perry. Commodore Perry s command lay at Shanghai from May 4 to 17, 1853, when he transferred his flag from the Mis sissippi to the Susquehanna, also a steam vessel, with Lieutenant Contee and 13 men, of whom Mr. Hardy was one. i i .-. i i .... ti SiiRnnnhanna J. 1IC proceeded to Napha, in the Lew Chew Islands and there were joined by the Plymouth and the Saratoga, sailing frigates. This fleet proceeded from Napha to Gorahama, Yeddo Bay, where July 14, 1853, 61 years ago last Tuesday, Com modore Perry delivered President Fill more's letter addressed to the Mikado to the representatives of that poten tate. The fleet then sailed to Hong kong. Mr. Weir Enlists In MBS. Mr. Weir was born in Glascow, Scot land, and followed the sea from boy hood. Finding himself in Pyta. Peru, with "nothing in sight," he shipped on a whaler to Valparaiso, and there on April 19. 1853, although he was not yet an American citizen, he shipped as a seaman on the United States naval storeship Southampton, and went with her to Hongkong. "Going across the Pacific," said Mr. Weir, "one of the things that I re member best was our picking up four natives who were lost In a little open boat, not more than 14 or 15 feet long. They almost were starved, but were afraid of us and didn't want to be picked up. I had just changed with the lookout rri the crowsnest, and, looking at the horizon for sails, didn't see the ittle boat until we were almost upon her, for which 1 was reprimanded. "But that boat," went on Mr. Weir, "was a wonderful thing. There wasn't a nail in her. She was built of long strips, woven together with some kind of fiber." Mr. Weir was transferred from the Southampton to the Powhatan, steam frigate, which had arrived at Hong kong from the United States, and went with ner to Yokahama Bay. Two Men First Meet. Mr. Hardy was transferred to the Powhatan when Commodore Perry made her his flagship in Yokahama Bav March 17 1854, after which he and Mr. Weir were shipmates. Mr. Hardy was. discharged March 26, 1856. at Norfolk, Mr. Weir having been dis charged February 25. 1856, also at Norfolk. From the date of Mr. Weir's discharge until August, 1913, the two did not see or hear of each other. Last August Mr. Hardy saw a note In the Beaverton Owl, saying that "Alexander Weir, last survivor of the Commodore Perry expedition to Japan, was In town from Cooper Mountain. The note had been printed by Editor Earl E. Fisher at Mr. Weir's request, for the purpose of finding out if he actually was the last man alive who had been with Perry In Japan. Old Shipmates Iteunlted. Mr Hardv went to see his old ship mate and he and "Sandy." as Mr. Hardy calls Mr. Weir, had a great time talk ing over the old days. Since then they have visited each other frequently, Mr. Weir having come to see Mr. Hardy yesterday. Mr. Hardv had lived near Portland since ISSr. and Mr. Weir since 1SS2. Mr Hardv says that four other sur vivors of the historic expedition, of whom three, to his knowledge, are now dead, settled in Portland. They were R. J. Dowling, James Downey and Phil Downey, whose graves are in Mount Calvary Cemetery, and Harry Willev, formerly of Portland, and later of Cottage Grove. Of the latter's pres ent residence, if he still Is living. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Weir do not know. A man named Merethue, who was a sailor with Perry, died In a Puget Sound city last November, and Mr. Hardy received a clipping from a Penn sylvania paper about a year ago say ing that J P. Gillien, whom he knew well, "supposed to be the last survivor of the Commodore Perry expedition." had died at Alton, Pa., in February, 1912. First Japan Treaty Hernlled. Both Mr. Weir and Mr. Hardy recall vividly the ceremonies and attendant circumstances at the signing of the treaty with Japan. March 31, 1854. They tell how a miniature railroad was landed and put into operation, as was also a telegraph outfit and other scientific devices, to the great amaze ment of the Japanese. They both were impressed and amused with the Oriental magnificence of the party which represented the 111!.., Tha TunnnpMp dinlomats wore long yellow robes, sllk-embroldered with great birds resembling pelicans. The married women In the crowd had their teeth blackened, as a symbol ot their estate, and Mr. Weir describes how they grinned at the American sailors. There was an exchange of gifts, the Japanese bringing tons of rice down to the beach for the sailors, and every body had a good time. "And I stole a jar of sakl," said Mr. Weir, "but don't put that in the paper." OAKS' VISITORS 16,000 HORSES, DOGS AND MOMtEYS PRIN CIPAL, ATTRACTIONS ON BILL.. Number of Mathers Reaches 2000 and Concessionaires All Report That Ilusiness Is Excellfc'i. Thousands of people sought and found cool surcease at Oaks Park yes terday, both day and night. Late yes terday the entrance turnstiles had clicked off over 16.000 numbers, while the stream of pleasure seekers flowed on steadily. Horses, dogs and monkeys that ac complished presumably the application of all senses but speech were seen in the Carlos-Fogg Miniature Circus. Chil dren o'. all ages and "grown-ups," too, applauded the animals, that took their various parts with intelligence some times lacking In their human competi tors. Dogs dodged each other In hide-and-seek games, much to the glee of the small boys. Horses jigged, picked up colored handkerchiefs and fulfilled all and more evolutions than is expect ed In any "greatest show on earth." La Belle Clark, riding a superb horse, captivated two crowded audiences with unique steps displayed by her mount. Don Carlos scored heavily with his audiences when he closed his perform ance by hypnotizing Tony, his favorite dog. The inevitable attraction of cool water on a hot day accounted for the "stop" sign placed at the entrance of the swimming fioat shortly after 3 o'clock. At 6 o'clock 2000 people had enjoyed a "dip" in the Willamette. All concessions reported heavy pat ronage. A well-chosen musical programme was rendered by McElroy's band. The entire programme will be followed without change all this week. Heat Wave Drives Man Back to Nature in City Police Find Clothes; Grnppler la Called, but Soon Earl Griffith Swims Over From Nude Retreat on Island. THE warm weather aroused primi tive instincts in Earl Griffith Sat urday night and he decided to emulate Joe Knowles, the nature man. Griffith took off his clothes and went I swim ming at the foot of Abernethy street after 9 o'clock Saturday night. Boldly he struck out for Ross Island and was lost in the darkness. Early yesterday morning someone discovered Griffith's clothes on the logs. The harbor patrol was summoned and City Grappler Brady left immediately to search for Griffith's body. For an hour the veteran grappler worked as hard as he had ever worked before. He could not snag anything more promising than rubbish. "Funny I can't get him," said Brady perplexedly. "The bottom's smooth and not very deep. He must have gone down here somewhere." Patiently he continued his work. He got hold of sunken wires, old shoes and all sorts of trash, but nothing that looked human. "Gee, look what's coming!" said one of Brady's companions suddenly. Out in the channel a man was swim ming toward the grapplcr's boat. He was a strong swimmer and his husky strokes soon carried him past the res cue boat and onto the logs. He stretched himself, rubbed his eyes a bit and picked up the clothes, which were the nearest to a corpus delectl the state had thus far been able to establish in the Griffith case. "Hey, whatchu doin'?" yelled Brady, pulliris for the log raft. "Going home as soon as I put these duds on," said the man. "Are you the man we're fishing for?" asked the grappler. "I dunno. You looking for me?" "You betcha life we're looking for you. Where you been all night?" "Oh. over on the Island," grinned Griffith, putting on his coat as he walked away. "Well, I'll be consarned; I ain't a dry land grappler." ejaculated Brady. LIGHTNING STARTS FIRES Timber Patrolman Witness of Two Cases Near Moslcr Recently.

G R Gallant, retired, of Vancouver, Wash., who has been a great sufferer from rheumatism, found relief with pleasing promptness by using Akoz, the new California mineral remedy. Although he was badly crippled before trying Akoz, the remarkable mineral that is proving such a formidable rival of radium, soon relieved him. "I had been a great sufferer with rheumatism for about three years," said Mr. Gallant. "The last six months I was unable to get my coat on without assistance. Every step increased the pain in my knee, so that I was able to go about but very little. Then 1 used Akoz as directed, and in two weeks I was free from pain and as sup ple as a boy. "I hope the multitude of rheumatic sufferers will use Akoz with as satis factory results as I did." Thus It is with hundreds of persons in this vicinity who are suffering with rheumatism, stomach, kidney, liver and bladder trouble, eczema, catarrh, piles, ulcers and other ailments. Akoz Is na ture's own remedy, and is giving relief In case after case that the doctors pro nounce incurable. Akoz is sold at all leading drug stores.
