OVERWORK BRINGS ATTACK Important Commercial Positions . Held and Building Tp or Pio neer Industry in Few Years Demonstrate Great Energy. LA O PRODUCTS SHOW TO BE CLOSED USITII, 3 P. !f. TO MORROW OSf ACCOUNT OF MR. KIVGSLEV'S As a mark of respect ' to the late A. J. Kingsley, president of the Manufacturers and Land Products Show, the exposition at the Armory will not open until 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The Chamber of Commerce, of which Mr. Kingsley was a di rector, will be closed tomorrow afternoon. The banquet to visiting: ex hibitors at the Land Show, which was to have, been held tonight, has been postponed indefinitely. A. J. Kingsley, president of the Manu facturers' and Land Products Show the success of which has been due largely to his genius and his efforts died at his home, 680 Uast Fifteenth street, yesterday morning, after a brief Illness from a complication of diseases The pallbearers, selected from among Mr. Kingsley's closest friends, will be as follows: Frank S. Doernbecher, Ira r. Powers, M. A. Perry, Paul C. Bates, C. C. Colt. R. M. Davidson, John F. Carroll and Frank S. Grant. While Mr. Kingsley had not been in rood health lor several months, his physicians believe that his death was hastened by, if not due directly to, his untiring efforts on behalf of the show. He worked with ceaseless energy in or ganizing the staff to handle the exposi tion and in interesting exhibitors throughout the state in its advantages. Mr. Kingsley was president of the Oregon Chair Company, one of Port land's most important manufacturing enterprises, and was a director of the Chamber of Commerce, in which he took an active interest. T'.nrrKy la Recognized. ' He was prominent in all movements to promote the civic welfare of the community and prior to the formation of the present Chamber of Commerce was president of the Oregon Manu facturers' Association. which was merged with the new Chamber last Spring. He was a hard worker in the campaign to organize the new Chamber and at the conclusion of the campaign was elected chairman of the industries and manufacturers' bureau. On account of his unselfish devotion to the Oregon manufacturing industry and hfs firm belief in. the future progress of the state, Mr. Kingsley was a. natural selection as president of the show' which opened last week. Since the work in"connection with that en terprise started he has driven almost his entire time to its affairs. So that the exposition might be conducted at a minimum of cost he performed per sonally much of the work that other wise might have been done by subor dinates. But the strain began to tell upon him. and. as early as . a week ago, his friends urged him to take a. rest. He declared, wishing to see the show car Tied to a successful conclusion. On Monday, however, he was stricken with a severe attack of illness and taken to his bed. He never rallied from his first attack, but sank gradually until about 3:30 yesterday morning when the end came. Show 'Will Be Closed. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Holman's temple. Interment will be at River view Cemetery. As a mark of respect the Land Products Show will not open tomorrow until 3 o'clock in the after noon, and the Chamber of Commerce will be closed all afternoon. The ban quet that was to have been tendered to morrow night to the visiting exhib itors has been postponed indefinitely. Mr. Kingsley was born in. Michigan February 25. 1S75. As a young man he was in the employ of the Pere Marquette Railroad, later entering the employ of the Grand Ledge Chair Company, with which institution he was connected for eight years. Leaving Michigan in the Summer of 190U, he came to Portland and organ ized the Oregon Chair Company. For a. time the pioneering of a newline of endeavor so far away from the centers where buyers were used to trading met with great prejudice. loiter success of the business. ,of which Mr. Kingsley was president and manager from its organization, stands as a monument to his energy and ability. Forced to create its own market and compete with big Eastern manufactur ers, the concern that Mr. Kingsley lounaea nas won recognition in the Industrial world, and now is one of the leading enterprises of its kind in th "West. Its products go as far north as Alaska, as far south as the Mexican line and as far east as Omaha. Mr. Kingsley several years ago mar ried Miss laisy M. Anderson, who, with one daughter, Frances, survive him. law, 25 years old. - and was -born in Portland. At present he is one of the clerks in Judge Davis' department of the Circuit Court. He has been a mem ber of Troop "A" since April 4, 1914. He has been a corporal, a sergeant and troop clerk. He qualified as an expert iiueman in iax4, ana was a member ot the state rifle team in the 1914 match. Lieutenant Hogan is popular and a member of the Multnomah Club. He is an expert horseman and is enthu astic over the work in the troop. Troop "A" will have mounted drill and a parade Monday night. Novem ber 8. The troop turned out at the Clackamas rifle range last Sunday. naving tne largest attendance of any of the National Guard companies. The trcop is nearly recruited to Its full strength and will soon have a waiting list, if plans formulated carry. as all during the Winter the troop win nave some Kind, of mounted drill each week. NERO'S FATE IN BALANCE Icatli From Diseuso or as Victim of Film Tragedy Faced. Whether or not Nero, the African lion' at Washington Park 200. will die a natural death at the zoo or will experience the sensation of dying as the climax of an exciting photo play tragedy, is a question to be settled by Park Superintendent Convill on a trip he will make next week to Los An geles. Mr. Convill reports that Nero has "lion rheumatism" and that his death is but a matter of time probably dur ing the coming Winter. A motion pic ture concern in Los Angeles wants Nero in a jungle scene which will cul minate in his being shot. The picture concern has offered a pair of Bengal tigers for Nero. If kept, the big animal may have to be shot at the zoo to put him out of his misery. TROOP1 A POST IS FILLED Cicero F. Ho-un Is Appointed First Lieutenant. Cicero F.

Union Pacific Officials Announce Inten tion to Co-operate to Eliminate Expense Duplication. Plans for an extensive advertising campaign that will bring the Columbia River Highway to the attention of the Eastern traveling public now are be ing mapped out by John P. Cummins, general advertising agent of the Union "acuic system, and Joseph R. Kath Tens, general manager of the Union raciiic's Yellowstone Park exhibit at me 64n Jvrancisco fair. Both these men have ' been in Port land for the last few days, and have given much of their attention to the scenic attractions of the Columbia River Highway. They believe that it is one or tne principal tourist attrac tions in the Northwest. When thev srn back to Chicago they will co-operate wnn union Pacific officials there ip a campaign that will bring the . high way more prominently before the East ern public. Mr. Cummins believes in the plan suggested several months ago by Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic manager of the Union Pacific, to advertise the whole Northwest as a unit and to obtain the co-operation of all interested organ izations in such an advertising plan. "The hotels, the commercial bodies and the railroads all should work to- getner in this, ' said Mr. Cummins yes terday. ' At present we are working more or less at cross purposes. There is much ouplication of effort and con sequent duplication of expense. aow, it all the elements that now are advertising the Northwest can get together and pool their resources, we can save a lot of money and get more direct results." Mr. Cummins points out that East ern people think of the Northwest as a unit, anyway. They don't think of Portland, or of Spokane, or of Seattle, or of Walla Walla, or of Pendleton separately, but they group the three Northwestern 'states together and make them collectively the object of their travels when they start in this direction. It is possible that the Dlan suggested by Mr. Fort and Mr. Cummins will be brought officially to the attention of the commercial bodies in this territory. Koseburg Fugitive Deserts Son. ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) -M. M. Woods, formerly engaged in the mercantile business here, has left Oregon, according to word received by Sheriff Quine yesterday.

ARSON SUSPECT AND PROSECUTOR SPAR Courtroom Tense and Mirthful as Battle of Wits Is Waged by ex-Fire Lieutenant.

"Didn't you say at one of th re ferences." asked Mr. Collier, "that you would 'stand pat,' that they didn't 'have anything on you,' and that you wouldn't "No. I didn't." retorted Keenev. "T do remember- saying, though, that 1 wouldn't confess to something I hadn't done." It became apparent earlv vestnrdav that the defense proposes to base its case on the assumption that Woollette, Akeyson and the other .confessed fire- Dugs have conspired to send Keenev to the penitentiary. Direct examination by Robert F. Maguire, chief counsel for Keeney, brought out the fact that he and Woollette had disagreed over a business deal, and had not spoken to to each other for some time until they settled their differences last July or August. Court Atmosphere Grows Tense. The "armistice" was arranged while Keeney was waiting for a train at Van couver, Wash., he said. Woollette saw him and came over and apologized for his share in their quarrel. Didn't you meet somebody there that time?" asked Mr. Collier. "A very im portant person in this arson business don't you remember?" les, there was somebody with him, don't remember his name." replied Keeney. The courtroom atmosphere at this moment became somewhat tense. The audience listened closely for a revela tion about this new "important" per son. "Woollette and this other man drove up in a jitney, didn't they?" asked Mr. Collier, very carefully. In a Jitney?' parried Keeney, with DO YOU DREAD THE COLD? Some people enjoy cold weather, take pleasure in Winter sports and the keen air calls the pink to their cheeks and the red to their lips. Others shrink from cold and turn blue at the least exposure to frosty air. The difference is in the blood. The rich, red blood warms the body. Every long breath of pure cold air increases the oxygen it carries to every part of the system. Thin blood is unable to take up the life-sustaining oxygen. The body lacks nourishment and the sufferer is always cold, takes a chill easily and is miserable all Winter. Thin blood is largely the sufferer's own fault. It results from neglect, be cause the blood can be built up. Dr Williams' Pink Pills supply the ele ments that the blood needs to make it rich and red and to enable it to carry more oxygen. Building up the red por tion of the blood is simple but because thin blood does not call attention to itself it is often neglected.
