HERMAN BIDDER IS
DEAD IN NEW YORK
End Comes Suddenly to Prom
inent German-American
v Newspaper Publisher.
CAREER IS MOST NOTABLE
Beginning as Errand Boy at Ago of
1 1 Years, Success Won as Well
aa High Place and Influence
in Democratic Party.
ITEW YORK. Nov. 1. Herman Ridder.
treasurer of the Democratic National
committee and publisher of the New
York Staats Zeitung. died suddenly
late today at his home in this city.
The cause of Mr. Ridder's death was
Kidney trouble in an acute form. He
had been ill about 10 months and for
two weeks past his condition had been
critical. He was in his 65th year.
Members of his family were with
him when he died.
Among- a large number of prominent
German - American citizens of the
United States, Herman Ridder was one
of the most conspicuous figures in the
newspaper publishing- business and in
politics. He had been president of the
American Newspaper Publishers' Asso
ciation, and for many years he held
high offices in the Associated Press as
treasurer and a director.
Political Tribute Won.
In politics he was such a factor that
be was talked of at the National Demo
cratic convention in Denver in 1908
as a possible nominee for Vice-President
of the United States on the ticket
with W. J. Bryan, whom, however, Mr.
Ridder opposed at that time. He also
was discussed later as likely the se
lection for Ambassador to Germany.
Following the nomination of Mr.
Bryan at the 1908 convention, after
ex-Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma,
liad - resigned as treasurer of the Na
tional Democratic Committee, Mr. Rid
der was chosen as treasurer, and, in
his own name and those of his broth
ers, he contributed $37,000, the largest
tsingle contribution, to the Bryan cam
paign. Mr. Ridder was owner and editor of
the New York Staats eitung, one of the
foremost German newspapers in the
United States, and through this he was
conspicuous recently in his ardent de
fense of the German position in the
European war.
Living Earned a tEarlj- Ar.
He was born March 5, 1851. His Ger
man parents were not far removed from
poverty so near it that young Ridder
"began earning his own living when It
years old, as an errand boy ilk a hat
store. By stages he served in a Wall
Mreet brokers' office, as employe of a
1'ire insurance company and then as an
Insurance agent. At 18 he had become
interested in politics.
He entered the newspaper business
when he was 27 years old, by establish
ing the first (Roman) Catholic news
paper in New York City in German
and soon afterward started the Catholic
News in English.
In 1890 Mr. Ridder became a stock
holder in the Daily Staats Zeitung and
was elected treasurer and manager
Tinder his direction that paper assumed
a leading position in its field. He be
came president of the corporation in
1907, and at the time of his death he
was publisher of influential morning
and afternoon papers in German.

Man Charged With Robbing: MrEwrn

BAKER. Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.)
Stripped of all the glamor of Des
perado Hugh Whitney, whom he pur
ported to be, plain Fred Springer, erst
while deckhand, miner and rancher,
who is said to have bound and robbed
his employer. C. L. Adams, a McEwen
rancher. Sunday, and fled, is tonight in
the Baker County Jail. The man was
brought back by Deputy Sheriff Robert
Nelson this morning from Ontario,
where he was caught 10 hours after he
left Adams bound hand and foot.
lie finally admitted that he is Fred
Springer, and that lie worked all last
Summer as a deckhand on the Portland
Oregon City line of steamers, that he
was born 2b years ago at Charlestown,
W. v., and had been in Baker only a
day when hired by Adams. He claims
lie won the $135 found on him from
Adams in a poker game, and that the
binding was a ruse of both to satisfy
those curious about where Adams'
money went.
Adams came to Baker today and de
nied the stories. maintaining that
Springer stole $160 after tying his
hands with a necktie and scarf and
liis feet with rope. Adams says he
found an old meat saw hanging on the
wall, hopped to it and sawed the rope
at his ankles with his tied hands.
Springer appears in good spirits, but
his stories are conflicting. He1 now
says Adams created the idea of -his be
iny Hugh Whitney because Adams
feared the Idaho desperado. This is
denied by Adams.
Miss Alice Fischer, who arrived here
last night, after five years spent in
Germany and Russia. Miss Fischer
came from Moscow to Petrograd and
thence through Sweden, whence ehe
sailed for New York.
Although there was a big wheat crop
in Russia, the cities are suffering from
bread scarcity because of the limited
number of railroad cars and engines
available for bringing in the supply,
according to Miss Fischer. This condi
tion vras improving somewhat when
Miss Fischer left there a month ag.
inere was a time." said Miss
Fischer, "when the lack of arms and
ammunition was so great tn Russia
that men were actually sent to the
front without guns their onlv means
of gaining them being to take up those
of their fallen comrades."
in spite of Russia's many reverses,
she says, the people of that country
are optimistic as to their ultimate suc
cess in the war. They are now prepar
ing a stronger army than ever to be
launched in the fighting next Spring.
Miss Fischer is visiting at the home
of her mother, Mrs. Adam Fischer, in
this city. She reported Morris Weber,
a former resident of Roseburg, suffer
ing from a flesh wound, which he sus
tained recently on the fighting front.

Efficiency of Service in Illinois
Metropolis Is Declared Demon
strated Since Dry Sunday Or
der Was Issued by Mayor. -
While numbers of the more than 300
policemen that Portland boasts are
wondering whether or not theirs are
to be the heads that will fall in the
efforts of the administration to slice
city expenditures. Chief of Police
Charles C. Healey, of Chicago, who was
the guest of . Detective Sergeant Joe
Day for three hours yesterday, is ask
ing for an increase in his department
of 1500 policemen, and has been prom
ised 1200.
At that Chicago's police problems are
parallel to thise of Portland though
on a greater scale, pointed out Chief
Healey yesterday.
Efficiency, of which the Portland
bureau has a notable supply as the
visitor said in a complimentary com
ment on local affairs is what enabled
the Chicago police to handle the prob
lem of dry Sundays, of which there
have now been three. Of the 7152 sa
loons in Chicago, but five dared violate
the law the first Sunday the Mayor's
orders went into effect, said Chief
Healey. None of these has repeated,
for repetition means revocation of the
license.
Fiction Is Belled.
Chief Healey is not the police chief
of fiction or the drama. He is not
burley, or overbearing. He is slight in
statute, well, but not ostentatiously,
dressed, and affable. He more resem
bles the popular idea of a well-to-do
business man than a police chief. But
Chief Healey is not the product of an
easy school. Thirty-two years ago, he
pays it proudly, he patrolled a beat in
Chicago. Te worked up from the ranks.
a strict disciplinarian but well liked by
his men, according to Sergeant Day.
The nine years prior to his appoint
ment as police chief on April 26 last
he was Captain Healey of the traffic
division and was in charge of 650 men.
Chief Healey met oje Day 26 years
ago upon coming to Portland for a con
vict captured here by Day. There has
been a cordial friendship between the
two since and hetelegraphed Sergeant
Day to meet him upon his arrival at
5:20 last night. Incidentally Chief
llealy declared that Sergeant Day is
recognized as one of the big men In
police circles, and is as well known in
Chicago as he is here.
Eastland Case Crisis.
The Eastland disaster was one of the
greatest crises with which the police
of Chicago have been confronted since
he went into office, said Chief Healey.
It was necessary for the police to hold
back hundreds of thousands who formed
a curious and grief-stricken mob as
well as to restrain the many demon
strations against the officers and own
ers of the steamship company.
Of the 5800 men on the Chicago force
1500 were detailed to patrol the scene.
River and bridge traffic was stopped
and two square blocks of business area
was closed to all but those having
permits from Chief Healey.
Such has been the moral effect of
the big disaster that one big steamship
company, the Graham &Morton Com
pany has failed since the disaster, and
attributes its failure to the public aver
sion to steamship lines as a result of
the Eastland tragedy, said Chief Hea
ley. Chief Healey came West to visit his
son, C. F. Healey, a prominent con
struction engineer of Tacoma. He is
accompanied by Mrs. Healey. and will
visit the California exposition for sev
eral days before he returns.

Why Tolerate Catarrh?
You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
objectionable matter could find lodg
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh v.hen the cold subsides is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate linings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with a solution of wan
water and salt, insert vaseline o re
tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's
Emulsion after meals for one nontk.
Scott's acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
Scott's is pleasant to take.

Many Children Suffer
from Kidney Trouble
Three years ago my little girl, Angela,
was taken sick with scarlet fever and
later dropsy set in; her face and limbs
swelled and her eyes puffed. A leading
physician here at the time, treated her
without the slightest success. A sample
of your Swamp-Root having been left
at the house at the time, I resolved to
try it, and as it agreed with her stom
ach I continued using it with gratify
ing results. The inflammation began
to subside after she had taken the first
fifty-cent bottle, and after she took
two large bottles she was pronounced
cured by the doctor and has been in
good health ever since. The doctor
came to see her every day and exam
ined her every second day until he pro
nounced her kidneys in perfect condi
tion. v
Now then the doctor was under the
impresssion that I was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine had
failed to do a bit of good, and desiring
not to offend him, I did not tell him I
was giving her Swamp-Root and he did
not know the difference. I did not use
one drop of his medicine after I started
my girl on Swamp-Root, and have al
ways felt that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root saved my girl's life, for which I
am grateful.
I cannot praise it too highly.

'California Syrup of Figs" Can't
Harm Children and
They Love It.
A laxative today, saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's aliment, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
figs," then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again. A thorough "inside
cleansing" is ofttlmes all that is neces
sary. It should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of
"California Syrup of Pigs," which has
full directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly printed
on the bottle. Look carefully and see
that it Is made by the "California rig
