The Legislature passed a law ordering the state to pay the interest on the bonds, but the State Tax Commission failed to provide for it in their levy last year because the legality of the issue was still on test before the Supreme Court.

Tracrdy Occurs Near Home on Skyline Boulevard Xeishbor Reports Man Was Actinsr Peculiarly. Following the example of his brother Joe. who committed suicide about a year ago, Louis L. Endicott, 45, a farmer living on the Skyline boulevard a few miles outside the west city lim its, shot himself through the body Thursday night about 10:45. The body was found yesterday In front of the residence of Claude Reed, who lives on the Skyline boulevard a few miles from indicott s place. The body was brought to Portland yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriffs Phillips and Beckman, Deputy District Attorney Ryan and Deputy Coroner Smitn, who went out to investigate. A neighbor told Deputy Sheriff Phil lips' that he heard Kndicott raving wildly in his house, where he lived as a bachelor, Wednesday night. In his ravings, according to this man. End! cott apparently was-defying capture, shrieking among other things that be could not be taken back to California to answer for something that had oc curred three years ago. Next morn ing this neighbor called on Endicott on a pretended errand and found him calm and apparently sane, although he had. a wild look in his eyes. Endicott was a brother of Patrol man Endicott. of the Portland police department, and also has a sister, Mrs. A. W. Johnston, living on the Skyline boulevard. It is believed that he was on his way to her home when the suicidal mania overcame him. lie had been living on a 13-acre tract owned by his mother, Mrs. A. D. Metcalf. who resides at Seaside. Until the suicide of his brother Joe the two had lived there together. Read The Oregonians classified ads. INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR VISITOR Edward F. Irets rield Secretary of National Chamber of Commerce, Who Was In Portland Yesterday. at the Chamber yesterday, urging that Portland continue her alliance with the National Chamber and sent a fitting delegation to the convention. Iast r.ight he spoke before the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. This is Mr. Trefz' third visit to Port land and he has many friends here. On previous occasions he appeared before the Ad Club and the Chamber of Com merce. He . will be in Portland until next William H. Osborne Is Cus todian of Approximately $440,000,000 Yearly. CURING "DRUNKS" SIDE JOB Prohibition Wave Declared to Cut Figure in Customs Keeeints Con ference Held With Washington and Oregon Subordinates. How would you like to be Commis sioner of Internal Revenue for tho United States and collect annual taxes for the Government aggregating $158, 068,907.81 on distilled spirits, taking the figures for the fiscal year ending Jui:e 30, 1914, the 1915 figures not yet being available, $65,245,544.40 on beer, $76,789,424.75 on tobacco and a number of other small items making up a grand total of $344,424,453.85, not to mention something like $100,000,000 more on income taxes? Quite a busy little job., eh? William H. Osborn, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who arrived in Portland yesterday with James W. Mc Ginnis, chief revenue agent, his right hand man, says it's just about the busiest job in the country and that it Is enough to drive a man to drink. But he doesn't drink a drop himself. Moreover, - in his home town of Greensboro, N. C, which he was in duced to leave temporarily for Wash ington when President Wilson named him Commissioner April 28. 1913, he is president of the second largest liquor cure institute in the world. "And I've turned out 10,000 men from that Institute," said the Com missioner enthusiastically. "Cured? Of course they were cured. They couldn't take a drink of whisky if they wanted to." Drinkers Caught Twice. Thus Mr. Commissioner Osborn gets 'em both ways. First, he collects the whisky tax for the Government, and then he takes the drinkers of said whisky and cures them in his insti tute. "Do you cure many Democrats?" softly queried Milton A. Miller, Col lector of Internal Revenue for Oregon, as the Commissioner and Mr. McGin nis. with David J. Williams, of Tacoma, Collector of Internal Revenue for Washington, and L. W. Eliott, revenue agent for Oregon, Washington and Alaska, were chatting in Mr. Miller's office at the Custom-House yesterday afternoon. "I make a specialty of Republicans," retorted the Commissioner drily. "Has there been any noticeable de crease in the amount of liquors con sumed in the United States with the spread of prohibition?" the Commis sioner was asked. "It certainiy looks like it from the figures," returned the Commissioner, promptly. "There has been quite a fall in the revenue from the tax on distilled liquors and on beer. I don't recall the figures. There has also been a falling off in tobacco revenue, though not nearly so marked as in whisky and beer revenues." "The decrease in liquor revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915. is approximately $16,000,000." volunteered Mr. McGinnis. Commissioner Osborn is a big and vigorous man. He is 59 years old. He stands more than six feet tall, with the big frame and broad shoulders and weathered countenance of a man who is used to hard work out-of-doors. Conditions Being; Investigated. Commissioner Osborn and Mr. Mc Ginnis, who has been a revenue agent for 22 years and chief revenue agent since Mr. Osborn took office, left Wash ington October 4.3 to confer with reve nue collectors and investigate condi tions throughout the West. They arrived in Portland at 1:50 o'clock yesterday on the Shasta Limit ed, and within an hour after register ing at the Benson Hotel the Commis sioner and Mr. McGinnis were deep in a conference with Collector Miller and Collector Williams, of Washington, who had been asked to be here. "I don't know yet what the nature of our business here will be," said Com missioner Osborn. "I'm here to find out." One important matter that will un doubtedly engage the Commissioner's attention here, however, is the removal of the bonded warehouses from Port land and Seattle to San Francisco after prohibition goes into effect in Oregon and Washington January 1. Commissioner Osborn is an intense admirer of President Wilson. "He is the greatest man in the world today." declared the Commissioner. "He is ab solutely unselfish. "And I regard Secretary McAdoo a? the greatest emergency man that has ever been in a President's Cabinet. He is a man of action, and he Is a wonder." The Commissioner and Mr. McGinnis will leave Portland tonight over the O.-W. R. & N. for St. Paul, from there going direct to Washington. They ex pect to reach that city next Thursday.

YES-IT IS POSSIBLE TO STOP RHEUMATISM Rheumatism is a tormenting and stubborn malady. In some cases it yields to treatment which is without avail in other cases. The darting pains, lame muscles or stiffened joints only disappear by grad ually expelling the uric acid, and so many thousands have been relieved by the blood-enriching oil-food in Scott's Emulsion that you should give it a faithful trial. Scott's Emulsion acts as a powerful blood-purifier by increasing the red corpuscles and it strengthens the organs to carry off the adds which cause the trouble. Try Scott's BmtUsion. Itcatraotharm.
