Fourtenth and Taylor streets, of notes valued at $6000 and rings worth $600, Leo J. Cameron was arrested yesterday by Chief of Police Houghton. of Astoria, as he left the steamship Great Northern, on which he had been work ing in the capacity of steward. He formerly lived in Portland. The paper eecurities were recovered in Portland four days after the rob bery. The capture was made on informa tion furnished by the Portland bureau of detectives, an investigation having been conducted by Detectives Smith and Craddock since August 16, when the alleged crime was committed. "Cam eron has been in trouble before, in Portland, Seattle and San Francisco, according to the police records. "A mun is a fool to work." is a state ment Mrs. McNamara attributes to Cameron. Marriage Pronoul Alleged. Mrs. McNamara, who is a widow, told the police that Cameron made love to her aiwi wanted her to. marry him. She took him into her confidence with regard to business matters, and in this way he learned of the valuable securi ties she owned. After she refused his offer of marriage the police say he has a wife in Seattle who is suing for divorce he Is alleged to have robbed her. The attack made upon Mrs. McNa mara was a particularly brutal one, and was testified to by the woman's appearance when she appeared before Deputy District Attorney Deich to swear to a complaint. The man, who she maintains was Cameron, entered her apartments, and pleaded with her to marry liim. She reftised, for the second time, and he took a bottle of chloroform from his pocket and at tempted to apply it to her nostrils. She fought fo stubbornly that he failed In this and chocked her until she was un conclous, after which he beat her fear fully. Fingers Stripped of Rings. When she regained conciousness the rings had been stripped from her fingers and those in her Jewel case were gone. There were seven rings. including two diamonds and two rubies in Tiffany settings. Notes to the value of $61)00 were also missing. These were not legally negotiable, but, ac cording to the poller, the thief could have realized about $3000 on them through underground channels. The details of the attack were con cealed by the police at the time in hope that the criminal would not leava the. city. The name under which Mrs. McNa mara signed the complaint was Kuy kendall, her maiden name. The notes were recovered shortly after the robbery in a saloon at Second and Yamhill streets, where the police say Cameron left them for safe-keep ing. They believe that the rings have been placed in a safe deposit box in San Francicco and the officers hope to recover most of the jewelry. A reward of $25 for the arrest of Cameron, alias Kalph J. Williams, was offered by Mrs. McNamara and will be paid to Chief Houghton, of Astoria Cameron was brought to Portland last night. He Is 36 years old, 6 feet, 3 Inches tall and weighs 15 pounds. WOOD DEALER SOOGHT WOMAN PAYS FOR. LOAD AND DRIVER TAKES IT AWAY. Method of Collecting Old Bill. Alleged Due. Is Termed Larceny. Warrant Isvued. Because a driver, acting under orders from him, refused to deliver load of wood that has been paid for until an old bill, the authenticity ol w-hich was questioned by the pur chaser, was also paid, a warrant was issued yesterday afternoon for the ar rest of Arthur W. Barendrick, secretary-treasurer of the Albina Fuel Com pany. Deputy District Attorney Deich ordered the warrant, charging the larceny of a load of wood valued at $4.25, after listening to the representa tions of Mrs. Gertrude Gerlinger, the complainant, who lives at 645 East Twelfth street North. According to Mrs. Gerlinger, a load of wood was delivered to her residence yesterday afternoon by the Albina Fuel Company, but the driver of the wood wagon declined to unload it un til it had been paid for. She gave him $4.25 In payment and signed a receipt tor the wood, she said. The driver then told her, according bo ne" allegations, that he would not leave the wood unless she paid a bill ef $5, which he claimed she had owed for two years. She denied all knowl edge of the bill and said that she was positi-e she did not owe it. upon which the driver climbed back on his wagon and drove off down the street with the wood for which she had just paid. Mrs. Gerlinger then telephoned to the fuel company and was told by Mr, Barendrick, she asserted, that the driver was acting under orders from him. At which Mrs. Gerlinger appealed to Deputy District Attorney Deich. who saw in the representations a clear case erf larreny. The warrant is in the hands of a server and probably will be served this morning. Mayor, Blushing, Passes Up Chance to Kiss Bride. Dr. T- P. Gottlieb and Mini. C.

U.S. THE PURE WHITE MINERAL OIL FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONSTIPATION YEAR AGO America was getting practically all its mineral oil from German and Belgian re fineries, where it was manufactured from Rus sian crudes. Then came the war. Importations ceased, and soon Russian mineral oil was unobtainable. But mineral oil had. become a vital necessity. Doctors everywhere were prescribing it. Thousands of men and women had found the mineral oil treatment for constipation of inestimable benefit. RecooTiizing: the existence of this widespread de mand, the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) now offers in Nujol an American mineral oil equal in every respect to the best grade of Rus sian oil. Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neu tral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely as a mechanical lubri cant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine rem edy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the in testines, softening the intestinal contents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity. Write for "The Rational Treatment of Constipation, : an informative treatise on constipation and the mineral oil treatment. If you cannot get Nujol from your drug gist, we will send you a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 5c money order or Btamps. STANDARD OIL COMPANY CNew Jersey) Bayonne New Jersey ;:r an WEST IS REVELATION Eastern Congressman Gets New Point of View Here. FACTS NEVER IMAGINED Representative Fess, of Ohio, Says Problems in This Part of Coun try Will Mean More to Him After Personal View. S. D. Fess, Representative in Con gress from Ohio and one of the influ ential Republican members of the pres ent House, has had a theory that the United States is too blgr a place to learn all about by hearsay. Mr. Fess somehow grot the notion that he hadn't heard all there was to be said about the West from the speeches of his colleagues in the House, and that perhaps there was something to add to the pictures of the West as shown in the railway tourist litera ture. He decided to come rlgrht on out and look the West over. That is how he happened to be in Portland yesterday with his wife and son, on their way by easy stages to the San Francisco fair. "I've certainly proved my theory," said Mr. Fess, at the Hotel Portland. "I have seen and learned things I never imagined. I have bumped up against some of the West's problems and absorbed Its point of view. "One of the finest things that could happen to this country would be to have every Representative and every Senator in Congress sent out on a trip like this to see his orn country. It would do more to broaden them, to enable them to understand the big problems of the day and to eliminate sectiona.1 narrowness than anything I can think of. "Tuesday I went from Tacoma Into Rainier National Park. If I had heard a Washington member of Congress making a plea for maintenance and Im provement of this park. X probably would have regarded it as an effort to get some money for a toy of the State of Washington. "Now, after having seen it. If that park question ever" comes up I not only will listen and vote for It. but I will be on my feet and fighting for It." Then Mr. Fess talked a little politic. He said he thought the need of pre paredness was eo apparent that he didn't think it would become a real issue In the next Congress. "Beyond doubt, there will have to bo a compromise," he explained, "but I am Just as sure that there , will be a substantial Navy and Army Increase, especially an increase of the Navy. "Conservation is also going to be an Issue, and Ihe Ferris bill will be one of the important measures to be con sidered. I am trying to learn at first hand just how the West feels about this measure, for I realize it is one of supreme Importance to the West, and I know that the Fast does not al ways understand the West."
