Mr. Moores, in Letter From

JOURNAL'S EFFORTS VAIN
namn from the Dresldant's office.
with the request that they publish it.
A careful canvass of the records oi in
company do not indicate that Meier
Is in its employ. The letter, from
Bohlingen, Germany, by Miss Bertha
Meier, the young man's sister, follows:
"Hon. Mr. President I take the lib
erty of addressing a few fines to you to
inquire If among your employes you
have a Gottlieb Meier, of Zurich. Swit
zerland. He was born November .
1871. On December 18. 1904. he left
Zurich for America. We received let
ters and cards from him up to July.
1913, when we received the last letter
from Kan Francisco. We Judge from
his letters that he traveled considera
bly, as we heard from him from Alaska,
Tacoma. Portland. We are very much
worried about him and beg of you tj
let us know If you know anything of
him. My mother has been sick for a
lone time and is very lonesome for
him. I thank you heartily in advance!
for your trouDie.
Story Is Current Attempt Only Is
Being Made to Show Democrat
Is In Race Chamberlain's
Hope Is Ridiculed.
Chairman Moores. of the Republican
tate central committee, writing to Ed
ward D. Baldwin, secretary of the com
mittee, from Newport, comments on the
political situation as follows:
The moat profound problems are set
'tled around the stove of a country store.
Newport Is a seaside resort into which
are poured people from every section of
Western Oregon, from whom one can
gather an excellent idea of the political
situation in the various communities.
It covers a broader field than the coun
try store. From not a single source
does there come any report of Repub
lican defection. Withycombe is regard
ed as a sure winner. Smith is not In
the race at all. The story Is current
here that the painful effort of the Port
land Journal to engineer an issue of
some kind for Dr. Withycombe to run
upon Is inspired by a specially-selected
campaign committee that has to make
some kind of a showing that Dr. Smith
la really a candidate. Managing the
campaign of a hand-picked candidate
like Dr. Smith is managing1 Dr. Withy
combe. "It has simply served to call atten
tion to the letter of Dr. Smith in which
he asked the permission of Governor
West to let hlni become a candidate in
the Democratic primaries. Permission
was granted, but with It came vague
rumors that if either Judge Bennett or
John Manning defeated him. the Gov
ernor himself would become an inde
pendent candidate.
Governor Recognised as Leader.
"Governor West is recognized as the
dominant force in the Democratic party.
Whatever he says goes, and even men
of the type of Bennett and Manning are
expected to obey orders and humbly eat
out of his hand. They may be doing
so, but it Is certain that thousands of
their followers all over the state are
refusing to do so.
"Dr. Smith is recognized a a good
citizen and an amiable man of excellent
ability, but he is utterly wanting in
that decision of character which marks
Governor West. Aside from his letter
to Governor West begging permission
to run. hla course in the matter of the
two U'Ren letters Is attracting wide
comment. When Mr. U'Ren wrote his
first letter asking the two candidates
to declare for prohibition. Dr. Withy
combe stated his position at once. Dr.
Smith floundered for weeks and ques
tioned U'Ren's right to ask the ques
tion. Then U'Ren wrote him a second
letter Just at a time when .the Anti
Saloon League had asked all candidates
to declare their neutrality. This was a
godsend to Dr. Smith. He responded at
once, declaring his neutrality.
Action Causes Comment.
"Both prohibition and antl-prohibll
tlon leaders are bow commenting on his
reluctance and refusal to answer
U'Ren's first letter, and his alacrity in
responding to the second, after the
Anti-Saloon League had opened a door
through which he could find his way
out. He has recently announced that
his position on this question is well
understood. As The Oregonian says:
By whomT
"While this specially-selected Demo
cratic campaign committee is trying to
manage Dr. Withycombe's campaign,
will It tell us who is managing Dr.
Smith and who It was that 'put the
kibosh' on Bennett and Manning in the
Democratic primaries?
"The Democratic suggestion some
times heard in Portland that Chamber
lain may again win the Senatorshlp is
ridiculed in the valley counties, and ex
cellent reasons are given for the pre
diction that he will be badly beaten.
It was a factional fight in the Repub
lican ranks that gave him the Gover
norship, and a factional fight that made
him Senator.
I. Mil- Slipped In.
"Lane slipped Into the Senatorshlp
by a vote of 40,000 out of 120,000 sim
ply because the Republican vote was
divided among three candidates. Selling,
Bourne and Clark.
"Today the Republicans are united
as never before. The pressure of hard
times is everywhere making Republican
votes. Nothing makes Republican votes
faster than does a Democratic Adminis
tration. The Republican registration
on May 1 exceeded the Democratic by
more than 75,000. and will greatly In
crease before the books are closed.
"With the women not voting in 1912.
Roosevelt polled 36.700 votes. Now the
Progressive registration, women and
all. is only 6255, Indicating that more
than 90 per cent of the Progressive vote
has returned to the Republican ranks.
Senator Chamberlain never before
faced such odds. Nothing but a miracle
could save him and the day of miracles
is past."
CETRIANA COALS LEIPZIG
Minister Delivers Cargo Day Before
Hostilities Open.
Offlcers of the German cruiser Leipzig
reported when off San Francisco Thurs
day that a cargo of coal loaded within
the Golden Gate on Ihe British steamer
Cetriana was delivered to the warship
at Mazatlan the day before the declara
tion of war between Germany and Eng
land. For that reason the vessel was
well supplied with fuel to carry her
along the Coast without taking advan
tage of her privilege to coal at an
American port so as to reach the Ger
man harbor.
The Catriana Is said to be at Guay
mas. where her skipper. Captain Minis
ter, Is thought to be in anything but a
pleasant frame of mind, because he is
member of the Royal Naval Reserve,
and having been called on to help the
enemy's sea fighter was not to his lik
ing. Captain Minister is well known
here, as he was master of the British
steamer Colusa, of the Grace ileet, dur
ing her first few trips to Portland.

LONELY PARENT SEEKS SON
Northern Pacific Is Aiding in Search
for Gottlieb Meier.
A big railroad company is taking
time off from Its business to help a

is name is Gottlieb Meier, and his sis

Northern Pacific, said that she thought
he was working for that company.
Her letter has been sent to the news-
TWO FACE FRAUD TRIAL
DAN J. CONNORS CROSSES LINE TO
UNITED STATES AND IS TAKEN.
Sidney K. Sperry to Be Returned on
Charges Involving Land Deals Like
Those Handled by Mlnard.
After being shadowed for several
thousand miles through Canada by
United States Secret Service men, Dan
J. Connors, wanted here In the Oregon
& California land fraud cases, ventured
into the United States and was yester
day arrested in Minneapolis. At the
same time It was learned that Sidney R.
Sperry. wanted here in the same case,
was ordered returned by the Los Ange
les commissioner.
Connors, who went under the alias
of Frank W. Matthews, admitted his
alias and consented to return without
a fight. Sperry may yet appeal the de
cision of United States Commissioner
Williams, of Los Angeles, but it is
thought unlikely.
Attorneys W. A. S Nicholson and
Norman D. Cook, of San Francisco, were
given hearings at San Francisco at the
same time as was Sperry. but their re
turn was denied on the ground that
they acted merely as attorneys In the
fraud and not personally.
Pootofftce Inspector S. H. Morse, of
Portland, learned that Connors was in
Minneapolis Thursday night, when Con
nors wired to a friend in Portland that
he was "broke" and wanted $50. Morse
wired the department at Minneapolis
and Postofflce Inspectors Hudgall and
Shea made the arrest upon that Infor
mation. Papers have been sent and the
order of removal should be made Mon
day. Connors Is alleged to have operated
in California, Oregon, Washington, Illi
nois and Minnesota. It is said that he
was preparing for a "getaway" to Can
ada or Alaska when taken into custody.
The indictments against Sperry and
Connors are virtually the same as those
on which W. F. Mlnard, of Portland,
and J. W. Logan, of Tacoma. were re
cently convicted In the United States
District Court.
SIX TREATED FOR RABIES
Medford Persons Bitten by Dogs
That Died From Hydrophobia.
Six Medford people are in Portland
undergoing the Pasteur treatment to
prevent hydrophobia us the result of a
strange epidemic of rabies in that city
recently. The six are Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Rose and their JO-year-old son.
Adrian. Dr. Byer and Mr. and Mrs. J.
N. Darby.
In June a stray dog, foaming at the
mouth, passed through Medford. stop
ping long enough to bite Mr. Rose's
Swiss terrier. Three weeks later the
terrier developed rabies, bit its four
little pups and a setter belonging to
the Darby family. The terrier became
so vicious that Mr. Rose shot it. Ex
actly 21 days later the four litle pups
developed the disease and bit Mr. and
Mrs. Rose and their son. The dogs
later died In convulsions. The Darby
dog simultaneously went mad and bit
Dr. Byer and Mr. and Mrs. Darby.
RED SIGNS TELL DANGER
City to Place 50 at Bad Grades,
Crossings and at Hospitals.
Attractive red signs, circular in
shape, mounted on white iron poles,
are to be set In the curb In various
parts of the city to warn traffic of
dangerous crossings and grades, bad
turns, fire department passages and
other things which sometimes figure In
accidents. The plan is the latest In the
"Safety First" campaign being pro
moted by the public w orks department
under Commissioner Dieck.
A list of about 50 places has been
selected for the installation of the
signs.
Near hospitals signs will read "Silent
Hospital." This will mean that there
must be no, noisy exhausts or tooting
of horns.
Athena Girl Suffers Hip Fracture.
PENDLETON, Or.. Aug. 14 (Spe
cial.) Miss Harriett Rush, of Athena.
Buffered the dislocation of her hip by
the overturning of an automobile in
which she was driving with her family.
The brakes refused to work on a steep
hill and the machine backed down and
turned over. Miss Rush was brought to
the hospital here for treatment.
To Cure Salt Rheum
and Scaly Skin
A Most Effective Trcatmen
Quick in Result
It Is simply great to use 8. B. 8. for
the blood and get a fine, new, healthy
skin, no mere salt rheum, itching, scales,
eczema, tetter nor any other skin affl lo
tion. What a world of satisfaction! Per
haps you have greased and painted for
years with mere temporary relief.
The trouble is In your blodd and merely
appears on the surface because the skin
Is a natural outlet. In time the tiny
nerve threads in the skin lose their en
ergy, the tissue cells break down and
nature must have help. Now. the skin
Is but a network of tiny blood vessels,
nerves and a modified form of mucous
membrane in which blood impurities are
prepared for elimination.
A d it is only,, by supplying skin tex
ture with new and purified blood that
the constant outpouring of impurities is
checked.
Get a bottle of 8. S. 8- today of any
