(Special) When Mr. and Mrs. David Thorne were leaving Hood River to catch the steam er Santa Clara, in the wreck of which last night the latter lost her life, they were on the verge of postponing their sailing because of failure of Mr. Thorne to receive a suit of clothes ordered by a local merchant. An effort had been made to fit Mr. Thorne, who is a large man, from the local stock. Failing in this the merchant had the suit made to order. If the clothes had been a day later the couple would not have left Hood River and would not have caught the ill-fated Banta Clara. ; Mrs. Thorne. who had been prominent in county grange circles, since her residence here, was formerly a sales woman for Woodard, 'Clarke & Co.f in Portland. Witnesses in Goodier Court Martial Say Flyers, How ever, Never Were Warned. ' FUNSTON ONCE. NOTIFIED Charges Against Contain Cowan Said to Have Been Prepared by , Men Themselves Without' Colonel's Knowledge SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 3 Testimony purporting to show, that certain types of aeroplanes used at San Dleio. jl. a nrownsvtue, Tex.,, in the -aviation section of the Arroy had been branded as dangerous by emerti and tht the aviators had .not been cautioned, was introduced today by th- defense at the court-martial of lieutenant-Colonel Lewis IS. Goodier," judge advocate of the Western division of the Army. Lieutenant T. P. Dodd, of Browns ville, formerly instructor in aeronautics' at San Diego, said that soon after charges had been ' preferred against Captain Arthur S. Cowan, commandant of the school, by himself and the late Lieutenant W. H. Taliaferro, he was ordered to Brownsville. Lieutenant Dodd said that from information he had gathered himself he knew that the machines at Brownsville were unsafe, but that he had never officially been informed to that effect. At San "Diego. Lieutenant Dodd tes tified, he had seen a report by Lieu tenant J. C. Hunsaker, assistant naval constructor on special duty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the effect that the aeroplanes were dangerous if tilted at a greater angle than one to 10 degrees when making flights. This report, he said, was made to Lieutenant-Colonel Reber, chief of the aviation section, who had given in dorsement to the assertion that the machines were unsafe If tilted at an angle of more than one to 10 degrees. '"No pilot could fly without tilting fh" aeroplane considerably more than mentioned In Lieutenant Hansaker's re port." said the witness. He said he knew that the machines of the type in use at Brownsville were statically unsafe and that Major-General Fred erick Funston evidently knew of these facts because he had telegraphed him to avoid putting the aeroplanes into action; How it reels to be "under fire" when a soldier's superior is "gunning" for nim was torn by Lieutenant Robert H. Willis, of Brownsville, formerly of the ssan Uiego aviation school. Willis said it was common knowledge among the San Diego aviators that Captain Cowan was "gunning" for them because they were dissatisfied with the conduct of the school. . Nearly all of us," he said, "felt that our positions as aviators were hanging by a thread." Lieutenant Willis said he began bear ing criticisms of Captain Cowan last November, and that virtually ail the aviators were dissatisfied because the commanaer was drawing flying pay' and was not qualified as an actual pilot Testimony of Lieutenant Taliaferro before any Army inspector with refer ence to the charges against Captain Cowan was introduced. It was to the effect that the charges against Cap tain Cowan were worked up by the aviators themselves, and tlint Colonel Canary Bath House Glass sideswhite enameL Fits over door of ordi nary cage.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Nov. 3. (Special.) Solemn memorial services were held in Villard hall this morning commemorating the memory of the late Samson H. Friendly, 21 years a regent of the university and noted as a staunch citizen of Eugene as well as one of the state's most ardent supporters in public activities. Students and townspeople filled the old hall to capacity, bowed their heads in prayer as various speakers revert ed to the goodness of the man whose deeds are now but memories. A. C. Dixon in his address to the as sembly said: "Never in my life have I felt such a loss as (that in the death of Mr. Friendly." Judge Hamilton, of RoEeburg, said: "We have met In memory of a good and noble friend, than whose life and example we could find no better to follow." President Campbell referred to Mr. Friendly as a reliance and counsellor in the university faculty in all things, and the type of man who makes states and nations, and who had a foresight far beyond the ordinary conception. Other speakers were: Lamar Toobe. president of the student body; Ray Goodrich, member of the board of re gents, and Dr. John Straub. Professor Lyman, director of music, sang the requiem.

A PUjRE WHITE MINERAL OIL FOR CONSTIPATION THE final test of a remedy is does it do away with the trouble for which it is taken ? By that test, the various laxatives and cathartics stand condemned. They do not remove the condition they are Supposed to cure. In fact, the longer they arc used, the more they are needed. Laxatives and cathartics are dangerously habit-forming. By the same test, the mineral oil treat ment, used in conjunction with a re turn to -rational habits of eating and exercise, reveals itself as the one logical remedy for constipation. Nujol is odorless and tasteless, abso lutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into hc system. It acts nierely as a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not rive quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal con tents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity. Write for "The Rational Treatment of Constipation," an informative treatise on constipation.
