STOCKS RUN AWAY
WITH BRAKES SET
All Wall Street's Precautions
Fail to Check Specula
i, tion in War Shares.
WHOLE COUNTRY GETS IN
So-Called Inmbs, for Once, Set Val
ue That Make Veterans Gasp.
Bethlehem Steel Seta Xew
. Record, at 450."
KEW YORK. Oct. 7. Wall street saw
another runaway stock market today,
though the financial brakes applied last
Tuesday were still set. Under the
leadership of- a dozen active war spe
cialties, the entire market moved swift
ly forward and upward through one of
the busiest days the Exchange has
witnessed in recent years.
Bethlehem Steel, which last year sold
3own to 26i. rose nearly SO points on
today's transactions to a new record of
45.1. Crucible SI eel, Baldwin Locomo
tive, Westinghouae and other leaders in
the dealing made sweeping gains of
from five to ten points above yester
day's llnal quotations.
These gains were in the face of
checks and hindrances imposed by
banks, trust companies and financial
institutions which recently decided that
the time had come to put an end to
wholesale speculation. Double the
usual margin required on some stocks
favorite in the dealings and decision
by many houses not to handle these
stocks at all except for cash failed to
prevent today's conditions.
The public apparently was in the
market, veteran observers said, to an
extent undreamed of before in the
history of the Stock Exchange. Not
New York so much as the entire coun
try, they thought, was responsible for
conditions. All America appeared to
have thrown its purse into the market
and for the flr.st time in years neither
the hulls nor the bears, but the so
tailed lambs, sets the values.
From 20 to 50 commission houses,
busy executing orders originating for
the most part in Chicago. Cleveland.
1'ittsburg. .Detroit, Liouisville. Kansas
City, Denver, St. Iouis, .San Francisco
and other Western cities, were the
busiest of the Stock Exchange mem
bers. One-third of the dealings were in
four stocks alone Inspiration Copper.
United States Steel. Westinghouse and
"Willys Overland. The day's total sales
were slightly Jn excess of 1,500,000
shares.

ner to assure construction of an inter
urban electric line from Kenton district
to the West Side, under the provisions

ings against Mr. Heusner or the Globe

newspaper reporters to obtain any clue
to her whereabouts have thus far
proved unavailing.
Employed as a nurse girl in the fam
ily of W. J. Shedwick. 3SMi North Mul-.
len street, for a couple of years, the
girl left there with her belongings on
Thursday, September 2. Prances My
land, a neighborhood chum, saw her,
with a suit case, get aboard a Point
Defiance car bound for the city.
Conductor Alfred Falconer and his
motorman both remember her getting
on the car and getting off at North
Fifth and I streets, and that she made
inquiries how to get to North E street,
which is one of tne fashionable resi
dence thoroughfares. She wore a blue
skirt, blue coat and black velvet' hat
with flowers, and the very heavy suit
case she was carrying helped fix her
in the minds of the streetcar men. From
the time she left the car all trace of
her is lost. A brother, aunt and uncle
live in Tacoma and have aided the
mother in the frantic but futile search.
One letter, purporting to be from
Ethel, has been received by Mrs. Oliver.
This was postmarked from Avery,
Idaho, a little place of about 40 Inhabi
tants, which is merely a railroad sta
tion in Shoshone County. Mrs. Oliver
pronounces the letter a fraud, declar
ing It is not in Ethel's handwriting.
This letter said:
"To my mother. Do not worry about
me. I am working in a lovely place.
I am capable of going out in the world
alone and I am going to do it. Shed-
wicks or no one else know why or
where I have gone. I am not the quiet
girl you seem to think me.
"ETHEL OLIVER."
On the back of the sheet of paper
was written: "The postmark on this
letter does not indicate the vicinity in
which I am living."
This Avery letter, with samples of
Ethel's handwriting, Mrs. Oliver turned
over to the Prosecuting Attorney's of
fice. '
HONORSYSTEM DRAWS15
PORTLAND BOY AMOXG STUDENTS
IX UNIVERSITY RESEARCH WORK.
F.nrnrxt Spirit to Work Is Noticeable
Throughout Campus Freshman
-Class Is Big- and Serious.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 7. (Special.) Fifteen students
have enrolled this Fall as honor stu
dents under the new honor system of
the State University adotped by the
faculty In June.
Honor students are expected to do
research work aside from class as
signments. They receive no grades
in the subjects In which' they are try
ing for honors until they are about to
graduate They will then receive an
examination before a faculty commit
tee. The amount of work is much in
excess of that prescribed for non
honor students.
The 15 students enrolled are: James
Cellars. Portland; Anne Hales. Klam
ath Falls; Roscoe L. Hurd. Florence
Bertha Kincaid, Ashland; Mary Steven
son, Medford; Lamar Tooze and Leslie
Tooze. Salem; Eyla Walker, Corvallis;
.Martna Beer. Nellie Cox, Clarence E
Ferguson, Henry Howe. Evangeline
Husband. Elizabeth Minturn and
I ranees Shoemaker, Eugene.
An earnest spirit to work is notice
able on the campus this year. Re
striction of dances to two in each fra
ternity house each year, except during
holidays, is one reason. Heavier class
work for the faculty is another. The
serious character of the large fresh
man class is a third. The university
library reports as many books going
out daily at this eaisy stage as f ent
out during the two weeks just prior to
examination last Spring.
The enrollment in liberal arts and
musio will this year be between 1000
and 1200. It is now 780 in liberal arts
alone, with probably 100 additional
freshmen coming in February.

Dr. C. S. Carr in a communication to

"There is no drug in the pharmaco

Coffee is a dope and narcotic almost
equal to opium. To be sure, it does not
