William B. Schaeffer, aged II. of 122 East Sixteenth street, met death in the waters of the Wil lamette late yesterday, when his canoe, in which he was following; in the wake of the steamer Paloma, capsized. Jack 15. Horn, of 566 East Yamhill street. his companion, was saved. The body of the drowned lad was not recovered yesterday but the search will be con tinued today. "Will" Schaeffer. his mother, Mrs. Eusan E. Schaeffer, and Mr. Horn formed a camping party on Cedar Island, near Jennings Lodge. Both young men were experts in handling a canoe. The lad saved had lost both legs in his youth, but was a. good swimmer. Canoe Slips From Grasp. The accident occurred about 2 o'clock. As the steamer Paloma, a towboat for the Columbia Digger Company, passed tlie two men bound for Oregon City, the young men turned the canoe di rectly into the wake of the boat, with the intention of riding the swells. Almost instantly the craft capsized. Both rose to the surface and grasped the overturned canoe. The eddies caused by the churning wheel of the eteamer made the canoe turn rapidly around, and just before the boat which was immediately lowered from the steamer reached the - scene, young Schaeffer lost his hold and was drawn under. His body did not reappear. Screaming, but helpless to aid her son, Mrs. Schaeffer, on the banks of the island, watched the struggling lads when they were thrown into the water. Boy Drowntd Ivan Salesman. Captain Speier, of the Harbor Patrol, dispatched several officers and Grap pler Brady with a pulmotor to the scene, but the body could not be found yesterday. The boy who was drowned lived with his widowed mother at 122 East Six teenth street. For the past three years he had been employed as house sales man for Miller, Simlngton & Cal boun, wholesalers on Fifth street. He was a member of the Oregon National Guard. Jack Horn, who was rescued, is 22 years old, an employe of Henry Kahn, Jeweler, and lives with a sister, Mrs. Jeanette Bromberger, at 666 East Yam hill. Captain Inom "Warning. E. A. Hackett, captain of the Palo ma. said of the accident: 1 wish something could be done to prevent canoeists, even those skilled In handling a paddle, from getting into, the swells of a steamer. It is a com mon practice, yet ono that causes steamboatmen more worry than any of the things that are done by small boats. At times the best of them tip over in swells, and in such canes we fitop and back and get a boat over, only to be laughed at for our pains." It was the Palomas crew that saved two youths Friday when their canoe tipped over off the foot of Ankeny street. . RAINBOW GRILL CLOSES Theodore Km so Says Broadway Venture Was Unprofitable. After an unprofitable existence of lcs3 than two years, the Rainbow rill, in the Morgan Building. on Broadway near Washington street, went out of business last night. (There are no plans at present to reopen it. Tho Rainbow was opened in October 1913, by Theodore Kruse. ' a pioneer restaurant man. and A. Mueller. Al though they had invested a large amount of money fn beautifying it. the grill failed to gain the popularity that had been expected. It received a considerable patronage and was the pcene of many a gay party, but the volume of business was not sufficient to pay on tho heavy investment. So last night Theodore Kruse turned off the brilliant lights that gave the Ttainbow its name, and announced it would not reopen. Mr. KLruse did not say what dispo sition would be made of the 20-year lease, under which the Rainbow op erated. MAYOR FAVORS PROMOTION Ordinance; Advancing Fire Marshal Stevens, to Be Presented.

The increase in sal ary is intended as a. reward for effi cient service in the past. MISSIN3 MAN IS SOUGHT Englishman Is Being Traced by Frlends in Canada.

I Jf- SCRAXCE IUSK IS POOR. Washioirtoii Association Member, Gath ered at VoncooTer, Are Entertained. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 14. (Spe- cial.) The fourtn biennial convention of the Washington State Association of the Deaf is in session here with more than 100 delegates present. "It is a general fact that deaf work men, far from being the ooor insurance risks commonly supposed, are even less liable to injury in hazardous occupa tions," said J. Frederick Meagher, Van couver's boxer-poet. "Kmployers In general do not seem to realize this fact, however, and we are at work collecting authentic data prov ing our contention. Most of the big insurance companies compel the pay ment of an additional premium of seven years' advancement in the case of deaf policyholders, which caused the forma tion of our own Insurance company 10 year ago. Its phenomenal errowth and remarkable success attest the fallacy of the companies' assumption and they have begun to fall into line. "It is the employers' liability law that really occasions this sudden activ ity in the matter of facts and figures on the number of deaf workers killed and injured in this state, however. 'Safety First' has always been the fetish of the deaf, and we take every occasion to emphasize it. Yesterday was devoted to an all-day boatride up the Columbia. In the even ing a section on church work among the deaf was held in the school chapel. This morning's session was opened with invocation by Dr. Olof Hanson, one of the few deaf men who can write three collegiatic degrees after his name. Action on the proposed home for aged and indigent deaf, was left to a committee for report and action Tues day. In the afternoon the delegates were the guest. for a theater party and for a tour in Ciarke County. FEDERAL BUILDING EXEMPT Only Marquise on Sew Postoffice Structure Subject to City leaves.

TODAY'S BEAUTY SUGGESTIONS Face powder simply covers up an unattractive complexion and leaves no lasting- benefits. Those who have tried a simple spurmaz face lotion find it much better, as it removes skin dis coloratlons, such as freckles and tan, and makes the skin smooth, white and velvety. This lotion Is made by dis solving four ounces of purmax In one half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin. This complex ion beautlfier does not rub off or show like powder, and gives a more refined appearance. It removes bdth shininess and sallowness, rapidly giving the skin a permanent healthy, youthful appear ance. An especially fine shampoo for this weather can be had at trifling expense by dissolving a teaspoonful of can throx In a cup of hot water. Pour slow ly on scalp and massage briskly. This creates a soothing, cooling lather that dissolves and removes all dandruff, ex cess oil and dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on a glossy rich ness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes It seem very much heav ier than It Is. After a canthrox sham poo arranging the hair is a pleasure. Adv. Commencement Pays June is the month of commence ments, bringing many new needs to be supplied.
