BT ADDISON BENNETT. GRANTS PASS, Or.. Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) Joe Knowles and his party ar rive, at Holland at 2:15 this afternoon, having made the trip from the camp. 19 miles to the south, since 6 o'clock this morning. The arriving party consisted of Knowles, Professor Kdwards, two photographers and a guide, their mo tive power being six mules, all heavily packed. There was quite a crowd at Holland to meet them. Knowles said the hardships of the SO days had been trying, his greatest suffering being from his badly poisoned feet and the cold nights during the earlier stages. He had to turn night into lay until ho could get some sort of covering under which to sleep. Food did not bother him so much, he said, but the berries upon which he. expect ed to subsist for a few days had not yet ripened. However, he soon man aged to get enough small fish to keep Up his energy. Color Like Copper Cent. As to his appearance upon his ar rival, I only can say that he is about the color of a well-worn copper cent. His grayish beard showed that in the woods he had not found a stone sharp enough with which to shave. He wore none of the self-tailored raiment which covered him in the wilds save a pair of moccasins, which he will have to wear for several days, owing to the bad condition of his feet. When he went in from Holland a month ago, he weighed 202 pounds. On the same scales this afternoon, I weighed him, and found his weight 181 pounds. So It can be seen he has not lived hi?h. Professor Kdwards came in on the automobile with me. I asked him to tell me franklv what he thought of the matter, and particularly as to any chance of fraud, such as Knowles hav ing anything cached away beforehand or the assistance from anybody with tools, matches, hooks and lines, ropes or anything else which he could have used to advantage. Professor Is Knttanslastic. The professor stated that he abso lutely was sure that the test was a fair one; that there was no chance for any crooked work whatever, and he be lieved that not one man In a million could have done what Knowles had done. It will be remembered that Professor Kdwards saw Knowles when his feet were in bad condition. He was sure that scarcely a man living would have had the tenacity to remain and suffer as he did when help was so easy to secure. But what strikes me as the most en couraging' testimony on behalf of Knowles and the honesty of his test, la that during my two days at Holland 1 Interviewed perhaps 50 people of that section, backwoodsmen, prospect tors, woodsmen, hunters and fishers, who have been in the vicinity ever since the Knowles party arrived there. Not a single one of these expressed an opinion otherwise than favorable as to the absolute honesty of Knowles. 1 am of the opinion that if there had been any hippodromlng, there would have been a leak somewftere along the line. Our machine made the run from Hol land to the Southern Pacific depot here, a distance of 41 miles, this after noon in just two hours. Professor Kdwards leaves on the Southern Pacific tomorrow morning for Los Angeles. Messrs. Knowles, photographers Fairbrother and the will remain In Holland until perhaps tomorrow afternoon, completing some pictures, and then will return here and leave for Portland over the South ern Pacific. In Portland some public stunts will be pulled off before they leave for San Franrisco. TODAY LAST OF "CABIRIA" Thousands See Elaborate Photo Spectacle at Ueilig. ("Cabiria," by Gabriele d'Annunzio, the motion picture that has marked the advent of a new epoch in the art of cinematograph productions, will be shown for the last time at the Hellig Theater today, with matinee and even ing programmes. "Cablria" has at tracted more attention in Portland, as in every other city where it has been shown, probably than any other mo tion picture feature that has ever been produced and has been witnessed by many thousands of people each week. Its sheer magnitude, -as well as the striking beauty of detail with which it has been worked out, have served to commend It to the theater-goer. A feature of especial attraction, aside from the film itself, is the musical setting, the score for which was com posed by Mazetti. The presentation of the music is by an orchestra of 10 pieces and constitutes one of the most elaborate pieces of occasional music that has ever been connected with mo tion picture production. MOTORCYCLE HITS BOY Caird Leslie, Likely With Fractured Skull. Removed to Hospital. Caird Leslie, the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C Leslie. 1030 Brook lyn street, probably sustained a frac tured skull yesterday when he was run down at Kast Twenty-second and Burn Bide streets by a motorcycle ridden by W". L. Moore, a mall carrier, who lives at 246 Yamhill street. The boy was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital by the Ambulance Service Company. He probably will recover. ' Young Leslie had Just descended from a Meier & Frank delivery wagon, where he had been riding, when the motorcycle ran around the team and struck him as he started across the street. The boy is a student at Lincoln High School and has been working dur ing his vacation. Vancouver to Have Holiday. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 21. Rnecial.) Mavor Crass has decreed Thursday.

IN LOWER PHOTOGRAPH KNOWLES PAINTKD AMERICA ALOFT JAPANESE MATTER Declaration of Neutral Policy, Regarding Demand on Ger many, Communicated. REGRET AT BREACH TOLD United States, In Reply to Assur ances Respecting China's Integ rity, Places Understanding of Situation on Record. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Japan has received from the United States a for mal declaration of policy bearing on the delivery by Japan to Germany of the ultimatum demanding the surren der by "the latter country of the ter ritory of Kiau-Chau. The American Government's attitude was outlined in reply to assurances which Foreign Minister Kato had given to Ambassador Guthrie, according to advices from Tokio. to the effect that the integrity of China would be pre served. While regretting that any differences had arisen between Japan and Ger many, the United States pointed out that it must refrain from expressing any opinion on the merits of the ulti matum, especially since the ultimatum might lead to war. and it was the avowed policy of this Government to maintain neutrality in every phase of the European conflict. Understanding Placed on Record. The United States took occasion, however, in a friendly and diplomatic way, to place on record its understand ing of the situation, as follows: "First, that Japan's purpose was not to seek territorial aggrandizement in China. "Second, that Japan had promised to restore the territory of Kiau-Chau to China, maintaining the integrity of that republic, and acting only in ac cordance with the Anglo-Japanese al liance, one of whose objects is the pres ervation of the commercial Interests of all powers in China and the principle of equal opportunity to all. "Third, that in case of serious disor ders or disturbances in the interior of China growing out of the unsettled state of affairs, Japan, as a matter of course, would consult the United States before taking any steps beyond boun daries of the territory of Kiau-Chau. Japan's Sincerity Reasserted. This last procedure, it was pointed out to Japan, follows in natural se quence the arrangement completed at the time of the Boxer rising between Japan and the United States, whereby the armed forces of this Government were allied with those of other nations in the march on Pekin for the safe guarding of foreign legations and mis sions. Baron Chlnda, the Japanese Ambas sador, has assured the United States of the sincere intention of Japan to re store Kiau-Chau to China. He is con fident also that In case of any trouble in the interior of China the Tokio gov ernment would be glad to notify the American Government of any contem plated measure. The Japanese Ambas sador is In communication with his government, but has Jearned nothing of any reply from Germany to the ulti matum of last Saturday. JMOVELIST WOULD ENLIST George Desparbes, 60, Offers Story for Corporal's Stripes. PARIS, Aug. 21. Minister of War Messimy today asked George Desparbes, a well-known French novelist, now in his 60th year, if he would write a story for the Army Bulletin. "I will give you a story," Mr. Des parbes replied, "If you will give back my corporal's stripes and send me to the front." "The Minister of War objected and said it was quite impossible. reed "eatTACT0R BECOMES MANAGER Harry .1. Hamilton Has Own Cast to Present His Own Plays. Harry J.

"The Crimes of Society," which will' be put on this coming week, deals with modern society and its relation to the marriage question. The seriousness of the play is lightened by many humor ous touches. WAVERLY-TAKES TITLE RUSSELL SMITH CARRIES HONORS 0(F GEARHART GOLF TOURNEY. Sirs. C. H. Davis Jr. Wins In Women's Matches After Uncanny Game Close Until Near End. GEARHART. Or., Aug. 2 1. ( Special.) Russell Smith, of the Waverly Coun try Club, and Mrs. C. H. Davis, Jr., are the title holders in the men's and wo men's play of ' the Gearhart annual tournament which finished here today. Both are favorites ' and won their places through logical progress up the ladder of qualifying rounds and match play. Mrs. Davis' play in particular marked her a title contender from the first day for her first rounds proved her to be much better than many of the men. The same holds true of Russell Smith. Smith's victory over A. B. Junor was easy. The match went eight up and seven on a 36-hole course. The first 18 holes were played in the morning, and when the' dinner halt was called, Russell Smith was up.-: Then started a battle-royal in which all holes, except two, were halved. The two went to Junor. When the fatal fourth round started. Smith still held his troublesome lead. Two balls sailed over the fence and Junor's chances at the title went glim mering. The match between Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Dougherty was equally thrilling while it lasted. Mrs. Davis, however, through some deft work beyond the "T" finally beat Mrs. Dougherty to two of the holes. HYPNOTIST LANDS IN JAIL Subject Taken for Madman and Professor' Given His Cell Later. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) "Hypnotist" Barnum. as he is known, now performing at a local thea ter, tonight is in jail, charged with creating a public nuisance and dis turbing the peace and will be placed on trial tomorrow morning as a result of hvpnotizing C. V. Suggs, aged 23, of Santa Rosa, Cal., and then telling him to "run to the fire." Suggs obeyed in a flash and raced the streets of Vancouver early tonight as though mad, ending his chase in the police station, where he was locked in a cell and handcuffed for a madman. Still under the influence of the hypnotic power of Barnum, Suggs bat tered his head against the. cell bars and when it became known that he was not insane the police escorted Barnum from the theater to jail and Suggs was freed from his hallucina tion. Suggs is being cared for by at tendants and Barnum occupies his place behind the bars. FESTIVAL WILL BE TODAY 20 00 Children to Take Part in An nual Playground Affair.

FATHER O'HARA IS WITNESS Radical Views Presented to Govern ment Commission by C. E. S. Wood and Other Witnesses Discuss Social Unrest. I That the passage of the minimum wage law in this state, through the efforts of the Industrial Welfare Com mission, has made changes for the bet ter In the condition of working women and girls was brought out In striking fashion at yesterday's session of the public hearing conducted by the United States Commission on Industrial Re lations. The Commission is carrying on its investigation at the Central Li brary. There were two sessions yes terday and a number of witnesses were examined. More will be heard at the same place today. Father Edwin V. O'Hara. chairman of the Industrial Welfare Commission, told of the preliminary work of that organization looking to such a law and its final accomplishment. He told of conditions that prevailed among women workers prior to Its passage and how there has been a decided improvement in conditions since. "In our work we found girls were living in surroundings in which none should be asked to live," said Father O'Hara. "Some were able to buy but two meals a day and were living crowded together in small, dark rooms. Because the minimum wage law re sulted in more favorable conditions, it has been popular because the principle always will be popular that women workers are entitled to a decent living. No woman in America should be com pelled to work for less. Morals Not Questioned. "We have never brought up in our investigation the relation of morals of women workers and wages, because it was not the belief of the Commission members that there was much immor ality and for the further reason that such a suggestion was an insult to the women workers of the state." Miss Caroline J. Gleason, secretary of the Industrial Welfare Commission, corroborated the evidence of Father O'Hara when she took the stand late yesterday. She said conditions sur sounding women in industry in this state are now good compared to what they are in the East and that only a few things here remain to be bettered. She conductod a survey of industrial conditions before the passage of the minimum wage law and said she found girls in insanitary surroundings and going without meals because they could not afford proper food and rooms. One girl was found hungry one Saturday who expected to wait until the follow ing Monday, which was -pay day, be fore she would be able to buy a meal. Another girl was living on two meals a day and was quoted by Miss Gleason as having said: "It is fortunate I am too tired to eat. because if I were hungry I haven't the money to buy food." No Employes Cut Off. Father O'Hara said it had been ar gued that as a result of the minimum wage law many women would lose their positions, but the commission, he said, had yet to hear of half a dozen such. He said that not only were there no fewer girls and women em ployed now as a result of the law, but that in some lines, particularly in mer cantile and office work, there has been a notable Increase in the wages of women and girls. Conditions surrounding workers in the laundries of Portland, he said, are unsatisfactory and the commission contemplates an inquiry into this sub ject soon. While the wage rate is sat isfactory, it is said the earnings are not, because as a rule full time is not usual. C. -E. S. Wood announced himself as an anarchist while on the stand giving testimony and the statement was greeteed with a ripple of applause. This was promptly stopped by Chair man Walsh, of the commission, who asked that the audience refrain from giving any expression to Its opinions, either favorable, or otherwise. C. E. S. Wood Voices Theories. "What I would do," said Mr. Wood, "is to atrophy, to attenuate to the thinnest line that thing we call the state and which interferes with the liberty of the individual. Taxes should be taken as lightly as possible, bank ing should be changed and the whole system of land titles is wrong. "I go farther than Henry George in his theory of land titles, yet I work with the single taxers, for I climb into every wagon going my way. I believe titles to land should be like titles to water, merely rights to nse such amounts as can be administered bene ficially. "The iron and the coal of this coun try, together with the land, are held bv speculators. It is all tied up by paper titles, although little of It is be ing used. Homesteaders who would settle and develop our land in the east ern part of this state have been fore stalled by speculators. Now I happen to own some Eastern Oregon land my self. I am a speculator, too, but it is no use for me to give this land up un der present conditions, because another would take this same land as a specu lation It would merely be a change oi acme." Mr. Wood advocated a National law that would give- idle land to anyone who would use it. various classes of laid being set forth in the statute and preference given to productive occupa tion. "Yellow" Journals Blamed. Amedee M. Smith, when called as a witness, expressed the opinion that much of the unrest industrially is largelv imaginary and is aroused by the yellow Journals and irresponsible politicians. He said he believed more work could be found by the unem ployed if they were really desirous of obtaining it and cited his own experi ence as an employer. He said he had found it difficult at times to get men to work, even when they were without positions. W. F. Woodward testified that 22 per cent of the employes of the large stores in Portland have had their wages In creased by the minimum wage law. He said about the only result felt by re tail business is the loss of the Saturday night shopping hours. He expressed the opinion that such legislation should be national, however, so that it would not work hardships on Oregon manu facturers who are compelled to pay higher wages than their competitors in the East. Ernest Kroner, architect, gave con siderable testimony in regard to the building trades in this city. L. D. Hun ter, Secretary of the Portland Typothe tae an organization of employing printers, told of difficulties that body has had with striking pressmen. H. M.

He charged a conspir acy on the part of stationary fishermen in the Columbia river against the gill net fishermen and made a number of rather strong statements that the Com mission may inquire into further. M. C. Banfleld proved a Tartar when questioned by the inquiry board. He made veiled allusions that seemed to be directed at the Commissioners them selves and when asked to explain him self, refused to do so. It developed that his attacks were made on labor unions. Three members of the com mission belong to labor unions. Participating in yesterday's hearings were Frank P. Walsh, Missouri, chair man; John R. Commons. Wisconsin; John B.

S. S. for the blood instead of those dangerous drugs such as mercury, calomel, arsenic, etc. It is an easy matter to get the blood poisoned from contact with disease germs. They lurk in almost everything we touch or handle and a slight scratch or skin abrasion is often the gate of entrance for a vast army of germs. If the blood is impure, if pimples, bolls, eczema or other eruptive conditions make the skin a danger spot use S. S. S. at once and fortify the system. Get your blood strong and full of red corpuscies to renew tissue health. Let S. S. S. keep down tendency of all germs to multiply and your skin will soon renew itself.
