Then ensued an exciting' automobile race which was not ended until Chief haw in his machine intercepted' the tirls and their friends.

The Consul tonight declared he had forbidden the privileges of the consu. late to the 2500 members of one organ ization. The active membership of the three organizations Is approximately 4500. The present situation arose because the Consul considered the hundreds of American-born members' who claim American citizenship as subject to ex pulsion. Mr. Ferrand in a statement tonight declared that Frenchmen born in foreign countries are considered by the French Government as French cit izens and that as such they are subject to military duty until 32 years old. The Consul said the organizations have been subsidized by the French Gov ernment for many years, and it was due to his fact that his request was made. Mr. Ferrand. as Consul, is hon orary president of the three orgamza tions. It was understood that prominent members of .the societies plan to take the subject up with Secretary Bryan. 6 LINE MERGER APRIL 7 SOKTHERX PACIFIC TO TAKE OVER OREGON ROADS AT MEETING.

Ac cording to the report received by the police here the girls reached Waconda. leu miles north of this city, at 2 o'clock this morning and telegraphed for the men to meet them. One of the men arrived at that place in an auto mobile and the other by train. Hearing that the Deputy Sheriff and 3Urs. Hopkins were speeding toward AY-aconda in an automobile the quar tct speeded in their machine for Port land, and were overhauled near the county seat of Clackamas. One of the men started to fight, but was finally arrested. The woman in charge of the school in the absence of Mrs. Hopkins rui.l that the girls were being brought iiere in an automobile. The girls, who were allowed much freedom at the institution, were missed about 6 o'clock Ionday night. The Salem police were notified and a earch of the city failed to locate them. Sheriff Esch and Mrs. Hopkins searched the environs of Salem for them early today and just before 5 o'clock this afternoon .they were notified that the girls were in Wa conda. It is believed that they had as M.stance from the start in making their escape, for It is not thought they walked that distance. The Sheriff and 3lrs. Hopkins started for Waconda. but before they arrived there, accord ing to reports received here, the girls had been spirited away in an auto mobile by the men from Portland. The Elwell and Le Grande girls were committed from Portland and the Lattin girl from Eugene. This is the third time the latter has escaped from the institution. Much secrecy-was maintained at the school regarding the escape of the young women, and before leaving the citv today Mrs. Hopkins instructed her assistant to say nothing about it. She has obeyed orders like a good soldier. If the party returns to Salem, as reported is the intention, by auto mobile, it will harly arrive before or ." o'clock tomorrow.

Soon after Deputy Sheriff Needham ami Mrs. Hopkins arrived in their machine and started back to this city with the girls. Chief Shaw taking the man to Oregon City, where he was charged with resisting an officer. It is probable that a charge of assisting tl-.e girls to escape will be placed against him here. "I was notified about 4 o'clock this afternoon that the girls had reached Waconda." said Sheriff Esch. "Deputy Sheriff Needham and Mrs. Hopkins started at once for that place in an automobile. Meanwhile 1 was informed that the girls had telegraphed from Waconda to a friend in Portland to meet them on the road to Oregon City in an automobile."

YOUR HEAD AMD STOMACH Headache caused by a disturbed digestion is nearly always accom panied by pain in the stomach, belch ing of gas. vomiting and often by con stipatlon. This sort of headache is generally located in the forehead and is not constant but comes and goes. It does not come on immediately after eating but after the food haa had time to ferment which it does because the digestive fluids that should take care of it are insufficient, because the glands that secrete these fluids are weak, because the blood is failing .to nourish these glands properly. Rich, red blood Is the first essential to proper digestion and the digestive process cannot go on without it. When lack of nourishing blood causes fer mentation and poisons are absorbed from the digestive tract, the pain in your head advises you of the fact. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give the blood just the elements they need to correct this condition and, - with a iaxative, when required, form a perfect treat ment for the headaches of indigestion. Mention this paper and we will send you two little books on the diet and the proper use of a laxative. Address: Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

Rate Yielding $1,326,000 a Year More Revenue, Says Witness, AVouId Cost Only Five Cents for Each Inhabitant. CHICAGO, March 23. Heavy ex penses in handling coal were given as one reason why the railroads are seek ing to increase the freight rates on that commodity in certain territory west of and including Indiana in the hearing of the Western rate case before Interstate Commerce Commissioner V. M. Daniels today. Statements were made in behalf of the railroads that the proposed increase on soft coal would average 7.95 cents a ton. that this would impose a burden on the coal consumers in the territory affected of only 5 cents a year for each inhabitant if the increase were added to the retail price of coal, and that the revenues of the railroads from this commodity would be enhanced $1,226. 000 a year. This amount is part of the iiu.uuuv 000 increase in their annual revenue which the 41 Western railroad systems are seeking as a means, as they main tain, of Dlacing them on a fair divi- dend-naving basis. Eugene McAuliffe, general coal agent of the St. Louis & San Francisco Road, who had testified that the roads were seekincr to increase the rates on coal merely because the present rates do not yield them a fair share of the profit in proportion to the expense ot carry ing coal, was cross-examined by repre sentatives of the coal operators. "What would be the effect on coal nrnrinotion if these increases were granted?" asked E. J. McVann, of Oma "The railroads could not afford to put their freight rates so high as to offset appreciably the production of fna " reDlied the witness. "In fact, the railroads are among the greatest consumers of coal, and to take any action that' would curtail the pro duction of coal would injure them in various ways. It would injure them bv reducing the traffic and it would put them in a position where they would have to Day a higher price for their fuel." Portland Speeder Fined $10. VANCOUVER, -Wash. March 23.
