LATE REPORTS ALARMING Deputy District Attorney Hammersly Drives Over Scene of Collision Trying How Car Can Be Stopped on Grade. Four or five days will elapse before Mrs. Henry It Beckman, of 374 East Eleventh street, victim of the Sunday motor accident on the Columbia High way, can be considered out of danger, according- to Dr. F. Gullette, the attending- physician. In the meantime she has, at least, an equal chance against death. Yes terday Mrs. Beckman, at St. Vincent's Hospital, was fully conscious, except for a slight stupor caused by the opi ates that are necessary to allay her pain. To Dr. Gullette she related her version of the accident, which closely corresponds with that already given out by her husband, her cycling com panions and other witnesses. The Warriner auto, Mrs. Beckman says, was recklessly driven. It ap proached from the rear, wfthout warn ing, and charged, down the incline upon the motorcycle ridden by the Beck mans. For a desperate moment it bore them before it. Then the motorcycle crashed into the guard-post, and the husband and wife were thrown vio lently. Condition Much Improved. "I think Mrs. Beckman is much im proved," said Dr. Gullette. She may not lose the sight of her left eye, al though the vision appears to be dimmed. The frontal bone, or eye socket, is ruptured, and the rupture extends into the brain." Later iti the day, however, reports were not so en couraging, and her condition was re garded as critical. The patient's eyes are closely ban daged. She realizes that her face will be permanently scarred, but the knowl edge of her terrible disfigurement has been kept from her. Her husband was by her side the greater part of yes terday. A. C. Warriner, driver of the car which ran down the Beckman motor cycle, and two companions, Seth Smith, of 431 Third street, and M. A. Bisbee, residing at the Karl Hotel, spent the night and yesterday in the County Jail. They were held on a charge of reckless driving and of being drunk and disorderly on the pubiic highway. The women of the party. Mrs. Seth Smith and Mrs. A. C. Warriner, were released on the posting of f50 cash bail each. Under the Oregon vagrancy statute, a complaint was sworn to against all five of the "Warriner party yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Christofferson. a mem ber of the arresting posse, signed the complaint, which charges disorderly conduct on a public highway. Upon Mrs. Beckman's recovery rests the fate of the five. If she does not recover, a more serious charge will confront them, j Bail of 9200O Recommended. District Attorney Evans will ask Dis trict Judge Dayton to fix Warriner's bail at no less than $2000. The intent is to hold him in Jail until Mrs. Beck man's recovery is no longer in doubt. The District Attorney's office will not require heavy bail from the other four members of the party. A survey of the scene of the acci dent was taken yesterday by Deputy District Attorney Hammersly, Deputy Sheriff Christof ferson and W. C. Baker, of 383 East B.eventh street. The lat ter was a member of the Beckmans' party and was but a few yards away when their motorcycle was struck. Mr. Hammersly and party motored to the point where the collision took place, half a mile east of the Point Villa House. There is about a 5 per cent grade on the Columbia Highway at that place. For 200 feet before the spot of collision a clear view of the course can be had. They traced the motorcycle, which had been following the right-hand side, where it belonged. For 15 feet they found evidence of the disaster. Connie of Accident Followed. From the place where the Warriner car first struck the motorcycle, to the post against which Mrs. Beckman was thrown, the distance measured 82 feet. Indications showed that the motorcycle swerved to the left toward the river at the first impact. It slid diagonally across the highway to the guard post. Ten feet from the post, apparently, the car again struck the cycle, propelling it into the post and hurling the riders headlong. The post against which Mrs. Beck man was thrown was inclined at a sharp angle, despite its solid embed ding. Mr. Beckman went over the em bankment. The Deputy District Attor ney's party found fragments of lunch, carried on the motorcycle, 25 feet further down the highway. They traced the tire marks of the Warriner auto, where it had rested on Mrs. Beckman's body, and backed off. Warriner, who drove the machine, has made a statement that he was not exceeding 14 miles an hour. He ap plied the brakes as he struck the mo torcycle and stopped his machine when It struck the post, 82 feet beyond, he To End Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness and head noises will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has effected complete relief after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cuj out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer from per haps total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as follows: Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Par mint (Double Strength), about 75 cents' worth. Take this home and add to it pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granulated sugar; stir until dis solved. Take one tablespoonf ul four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflam mation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always Quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form should give this recipe a trial ana free themselves from this destructive says. The Warriner car i3 a light model. Deputy District Attorney Hammersly and party were in a car almost twice as heavy as that driven by Warriner. They backed up 200 feet and ran toward the spot at a 20-mile rate. When the heavy car reached the point of collision the- chauffeur applied the brakes. De spite the slippery, wet roadway, the auto was brought to a full stop within 25 feet, or in 57 feet less than the dis tance required by the lighter, car which caused the collision. At Point Villa House Deputy District Attorney Hammersly interviewed Edna Fitzgerald, a waitress. She said that the Warriner party had stopped there a short time before the accident. She was positive that all of the members were intoxicated. C. H. 'Warriner. father of A. C. War riner, and owner of the Juggernaut car, has been in Montana for several weeks. He is manager of the Alco Apartments, 387 East Couch street, where his son also lives. COURT WHIPS DEF11ER GEORGE U. THOMAS P'IRST F1XKO FOR CONTEMPT BY JIOGE JONES. Defendant Angry at Loss of fane Re calls Old F'riendship and 1mcs on Insultins Epithet. "Damn you, Joe Jones, you decided this by prejudice!" cried George B. Thomas, a disgruntled defendant in a law suit yesterday morning, when Dis trict . Judge Jones gave judgment against him. "What was that?" queried the court. "011 heard what I said. I knew what I'd get before 1 got into court." was the retort. "You're fined $15 for contempt of court," was the answer of the judge. Thomas stalked from the courtroom and returned a few minutes later for his umbrella, meeting the judge in a corridor of the Courthouse. Harking back to bygone years, Thomas recalled a time he said he had helped the judge get a job driving a laundry wagon. He wound up, "You make a better barber and truckdriver than you do a judge. You're a dirty pup, Joe-Jones!" The remark was met with a blow to the left shoulder. Before Thomas coniM return it, deputy constables' stepped be tween the men. Attorney D. D. Hail offered to take up the argument with Thomas and hot words were passed, but no more blows were exchanged. The scene was the. outcome of a suit to recover J60 from Thomas that had been paid by Mary K. Gill on some furniture in a house owned by Thomas on College street. Attorney A. H. Ms Curtain represented Thomas and D. D. Hail the plaintiff. Judgment was given for the plaintiff, and Thomas rose from his seat in the courtroom in wrath.

Piano That Whirls While It I Heine I'Inyed Is Act That Myatlfles. Dancers Have Clever Tarn. Little Lord Roberts, the smallest comedian in the world, holds high car nival on Pantages stage this week with his songs and dances. He is so diminutive that the effect is unique and certainly entertaining. First he appears as a wee baby, crying in its crib. A buxom nurse appears and takes him on her knee, from which throne he sings a plea for babies who are victims of fond relatives. Next the comedian appears as a miniature Julian Eltinge, and sings Eltinge's famous bathing girl song. Then he comes out as a soldier with a plea for preparedness. Again he dons evening clothes and takes a "wee nip o' the craythur" and gives an exceedingly clever imitation of an intoxicated, jovial clubman. Then he imitates Sousa directing the orchestra. Little Lord Roberts has a fine sense of humor, and pleases immensely with his art. He is a great joy to the children, and next Saturday is going to hold a reception on the stage after the matinee so they can meet him. An act of mystery and amazing inter est is offered by Volant, a pianist of ability, who is garbed in white and seated at a big white piano which rises in the air and whirls rapidly through space. As Volant plays the piano swings from side to side, and a pretty girl, Peggy Benson, ..sits atop it and sings sweetly. Of course, everyone in the audience knows how it's done (so they said), but no one explained it- Hirschoff's Russian Dancers present "A Night With the Gypsies," a colorful, big dancing act, in which they sing the spirited native music of their country. The dancers are of the whirlwind acro batic sort, and do astonishing steps. An act that is applauded on its en trance by folk who remember it as a favorite is that of the "four vaga bonds." harmony singers. One big bass voice is especially lovely, and one tenor singing a Chinese "dope" song pleases mightily. They were called back a dozen times. Carl Byal and Dora Early offer a smart songalogue and dancealogue that makes a big hit. Clara is thin, and tells in song of her efforts to get fat. The two are eccentric and clever and have new material. Nan Gray is a sweet Scotch lass who dons a good-looking kiltlsh costume and sings songs from the land of the heather. Opening the bill, following the sec ond episode of the "Iron Claw" pictures are the two Rials, a man and a maid, and they are an exceptionally clever team of comedian acrobats on rings.

No Branch Stores HUSBAND SUFFERED. Dear Editor: I sent for a box of Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets for my husband, and he has been greatly benefited by them. He suffered from lame back and weak kidneys; kidney excretions being too frequent. After giving "Anuric" a trial we are convinced that.it is the best kidney medicne made. Will be glad to recommend it. (Signed) MRS. E. D. MINES. Note It Is now asserted with con fidence that these painful effects due to uric acid in the system are entirely eradicated- A new remedy, called "Anuric," has been discovered by Dr. Pierce, and is the cause of a drainage outward of the uric acid with which it comes in contact within the body. It will ward off backache, headache and the darting pains and aches of articu lar or muscular rheumatism of those diseases xhAch, axa caused fcy. qo tuuch. uric acid, such as gout, astma, sciatica, renal calculus. "Anuric" prolongs life because old people usually suffer from tiardening and thickening of the walls of the arteries, due to the excess of uric acid in the blood and tissues. Dr. Pierce, who is director and chief physician at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y.. has been testing this wonderful medicine for the relief of over-worked and weakened kidneys. The relief obtained by sufferers has been so satisfactory that he determined to place "Anuric" with the principal druggists in town where people could get this medicine for 50c. "Anuric" is not harmful or poisonous, but aids nature in throwing off those poisons within the body which cause so much suffering, pain and misery. Scientists assert this remedy is 37 times more potent than litiiia. AdY. .

My father and three of his brothers served in the Union Army. Up until I came to Oregon I had never scratched a Republican ticket, but after arriving here I ac quired the Oregon habit of more or less independence, and in 1912 I voted for Colonel Roosevelt, as did a ma jority of the Republicans throughout the country. I have never at any time signed my name "A. Walter Lafferty," as one paper in particular gratifies its "petty 6bjective in life by calling me. I am not a reprobate. I am just an ordinary country-raised individual, have a cheerful disposition consider ing what I have gone through, and take the most -wholesome view of life. I have always tried to associate that kind of men with me. My platform in- the coming cam paign calls for opening the O. & C. A. W. LAFFERTY lands to settlers, just as the law reads, and just as the Supreme Court de clared should be done by Congress, and unless either the people are crazy or I am, I am going to win. My full platform reads: I will work for the general public welfare; for peace and against war; for National control of ammunition factories; for adequate preparedness for National defense; for a liberal protective tariff; for genuine rural credits, and at all times for the strug gling millions who never see their Congressmen, rather than for those whose wealth enables them to keep personal representatives in Washing ton. I favor enforcing Oregon's great railroad land grant, which means re peal of the Chamberlain-McArthur plan, and enactment of a law opening the lands with the timber growing thereon to actual settlers, under a drawing system. , 737 Pittock Block CrtUgmrntf. . aW (til n ir iTMaf iTaf II Photo by Buslinell.
