witnesses," declared Mr. Duncan. "When
the rases against the grocers come up,
as they most certainly will, for we
mean business, we will put the owners
of the automobiles on the stand to
testify under oath as to whether they
bought goods.
"1 guess they can't say we are rely
ing on the evidence of "stool pigeons'
to convict when these persons give
their testimony."
One of the watchers before a large
Independent grocery store that did a
big business yesterday took the num
ber of an auto that stopped there. He
noted that the driver went inside the
store and that he came out later with
four pumpkins and three boxes of ap-tles.
"We looked up the license number of
the auto and found its owner to be a
prominent physician," said Mr. Duncan.
'Over the telephone, he admitted buy
ing the pumpkins and the apples. He
didn't like it when informed he would
be called as a witness, but he will have
to testify."
Mr. Duncan said a large number of
ismall groceries, usually open on Sun
day, remained closed, yesterday, but
that his men got five or six pictures
of others that were open for business.

he added. "This is not a religious

! A bitter attack against Senator
Kellaher, whom he characterized as a
i criminal, a law-breaker and a friend of
' anarchy for -his efforts to knock out
the Sunday blue law. and against oth
ers including the Judge before whom
Mr. Kellaher was tried, was made by
the Rev. G. L. Tufts, superintendent of
the Rest Day League in an address at
the East Side Baptist Church yester
day morning.
Rev. Mr. Tufts Wants Quiet Day.
The Rev. Mr. Tufts is working to
Initiate for the next election a one-day's-rest-in-seven
law, with Sunday
as the general rest day, that if passed
would impose an air-tight Sunday on
the state. He has taken deep interest

the movement for a rest-day in seven
was National in its scope. Rev. Mr.
Tufts added:
"This movement will not infringe on
the civil or religious liberties of any
one, but is in accordance with the con
stitution of the state, the foundation
of which is religion, morality and
education the corner stone of the
state.
"We have seen the past week the
spectacle of a man elected State Sen
ator convicted of violating the Sunday-closing
law,' continued the
preacher, "of a man elected by the
people to make and enforce the laws
of the state, openly defying the law.
Use of Recall Suggested.

Of 18 groceries on Grand avenue
Rev. Mr. Tufts told the church con
gregation, only two abided by the Sunday-closing
law. The other 16. he said
did Sunday business in open defiance
or the law.
He declared that many of the 16
kept open because other erroeers did so
and they had to protect their business
ana property.
Religions Side of Crusade Shown.
He brought orut the religious Bide of
the blue-law Sunday crusade when he
said:
"It is the duty of church members
and others who want to see the law
enforced to purchase only of those who
close up on Sunday and respect the law
and refuse to trade with those who do
keep open on Sunday.
"Out in Piedmont," he illustrated,
"the members of the Presbyterian
Church refused to trade at the grocery
store if it kept open on Sunday, and
now that grocer keeps closed on Sun
day, but does more business than ever
because of the actions of the Presby
terians. "We need a wholesome law and that
is what we are seeking in Oregon
through the initiative. The object of
this law is to protect the property of
men who respect the law."
Such a law, he insisted, will not in
fringe on the rights of anyone.
"It will recognize that streetcars
must run seven days," he said, "but
will provide that the conductors and
motormen work six days. We must
have electricity to light this church on
Sunday, but the Sunday closing law
will not interfere with these continu
ous businesses, but will provide that
the men shall work six days out of the
seven only."
Initiative Measure to Be Drawn.
He announced that a committee of
representatives from the churches and
other organizations will meet today to
draw up an initiative measure for a
Sunday closing law to be placed on
the ballot at the next general election.
Si S. Rich, owner of two large Port
land retail cigar stores, has been made
a member of the committee appointed
at the mass meeting of grocers and
other retailers held at the East Side
Library last Thursday night to make
plans for fighting the Sunday blue
law. Mr. Rich was appointed to the
committee as a representative cigar
dealer.
Other members of the committee are

Securities to Be Exchanged.
In consideration of the transfer of
the properties of the Washington-Oregon

North Coast Power Company, that com
pany will issue to Mr. Putnam all of its
preferred and common stock, aggregat
ing in par value 31,750,000, and bonds
of the face value of $675,000. It is ex
pected that an arrangement will be
made by Mr. Putnam with the reor

of the Washington-Oree-on fnmnra tir,
under which Mr. Putnam will turn over
tne securities so received from the
North Coast Power Company, for dis
tribution among the bondholders of
the Washington-Oregon Corporation.
Referring to the option given by the
reorganization agreement to creditors
and second-mortgage bondholders, Mr.
Childs, who represents the reorganiza
tion committee, said:
"The bondholders are willing to let
the creditors and second-mortgage
bondholders take over the property and
business of the new company, provided
the original investment of the bond
holders is made good to them.
Creditors Being Protected.
"We think it is fair to give the cred
itors any value there is in the prop
erty over and above the amount which
has been invested by the bondholders.
Whatever the bondholders may lose by
this concession we trust they will gain
by the good will and co-operation of
the creditors.
"The North Coast Power Company is
not controlled by the stockholders or
officers of the Washington-Oregon Cor
poration, but is organized by the se
cured creditors of the corporation. The
management and policies of the new
company will be in the hands of en
tirely new interests. Herbert L. Har
ries, who is now managing the proper
ties for the receiver, will be general
manager of the North Coast Power
Company.
"The North Coast Power Company
expects to take over the properties of
the Washington-Oregon Corporation
about the middle of November."

Clears Away Pimples
There la one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, blackheads
and skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim
ples, rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itch
ing usually stops instantly. Zemo is
safe, clean, easy to use and depend
able. It costs only 25c; an extra large
bottle. $1.00. It will not stain, is not
greasy or sticky and is positively safe
for tender, sensitive skins.
