Abraham Corona, SS years old, formerly a sol dier In the Carranxn army, cap tured today south of Mexicali, Lower California, by troops from the garrison at that place and charged with the mur der of Aubert Davies, an American rancher, who was shot dead at his ranch 30 miles below the border Fri day, according to word received here tonight from Calexico, Cal. Corona had D1 horse and rifle, it Is reported. The accused man will be tried In the Mexican court at once, the report said. BY TVILI, MAC RAB. "WITH TROOP A. Boulevard, Cal, Sept. 4.- ((By automobile to San Die go.) Troop A, after marching Satur day afternoon and without the slightest mishap or distress toeither mounts or troopers, have ridden over the third leg of the Journey on their way to Calexico. The ride yesterday, while It was hot. was nothing compared to the march of the second day, nor can it be compared to what confronts the troop between here and the ned of the march. We have crossed the summit and from now on wo are dipping down into the Mojave desert. The next leg of the march will bring the troop to the very edge of this desert and the last watering place for 30 miles. The march across this 30 miles of desert will be made at niglH. The section of the country through which the trpop is now traveling does not ncel a ppess agent to tell about its aridness. It is Just one vast scor earth wounds that have been kissed by the scorching sun for eone. Section Is Arid. Ever the scant vegetation is with ered and along the creek beds, where the water flows, there is but scant growth. Where the camp has been pitched there are wide spreading moun tain oak trees, but the leaves are crumpled and not any larger than a 10-cent piece. Even the red shank Manzanita bushes that adorn all the hillsides seem to resent the fact they are forced to live. So far there has been no evidence of wild life, although this spot is considered a Summer re sort. It is too for those who live in the Imperial Valley. Just before the troop left camp Fri day morning. Captain George A. White was notified by the United States Cus toms Oiticer that a deserting Mexican soldier had killed and robbed a cattle buyer named Davies. It seems that Davies had taken pity on the Mexican. He gave the, deserter his supper and had given him a bed. Under pretext of wishing to kill a hawk, the Mexican asked Davies to lend him his rifle. When the rifle was handed to him. he turned the weapon on his benefactor and shot him in the back and killed him. v Troopers Seek Slayer. A brother of the dead man reported the shooting of his brother to the cus toms office at Campo. When he heard that Troop A was camped there the brother at once called upon Captain White and gave him a full description of the Mexican and throughout the march oi ITriday the troop was or dered to keep a sharp lookout for a Mexican soldier armed with a rifle. The brother also wanted the troop doc tor. Captain Houck, to make an ex amination of the wound, but because the shooting was done in Mexico and because Captain Houck was in uni form, he could not cross the line. Captain White, while the troop is laying over at this place until Monday morning, left this morning for El Centro for the purpose of locating the camping place, especially the next bivouac before the troop makes the 30 mile night march across the Mojave Desert. He is expected back late to night. This country. In addition to being mighty arid, is one of elastic miles. Inquiry from a dozen different sources about the route to Coyote Wells, the watering place on the edge of the desert, brought a dozen differ ent estimates of the number of miles between Boulevard and Coyote Wells. For that reason Captain White, to make certain, took the trip over the route. OREGON TROOPS COMING (Continued From First Page.) were tourist coaches reserved for the men. The Third Battalion. Third Oregon Infantry, en route from Imperial Beach, Cal., to Clackamas, arrived at Ashland tonight at 7:30, quite weary of the long trip and mighty glad to get back to Oregon. When the train crossed the To End Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness and head noises will be glad to know that this distressing offlltinn can be successfully treated at home by cm imci nai icnieuy mat in many in stances has effected a. rnmnut, mi.. after all else has failed.

Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrh or catarrhal deafness, cut out this for mula and hand to them, and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness.

Take this home and add to it 14 -pint of hot water and 4 oz. of gran ulated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to relieve the distressing head noises, headache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc.. while the hearing rapidly returns as the sys tem Is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus dropping in the back of the throat, are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison, and which are often entirely overcome by this efficacious treatment.

It looked mighty good and the mountains in sight were a treat themselves. The troops are scheduled to arrive at Clackamas at 8:30 Tuesday morning. At Siskiyou, just north of the Ore gon line, a lively scene took place. Major Abrams, who is in charge of this section, issued some orders that were not entirely approved by all present. "All booze found in the train must be confiscated." SALEM TO GREET COMPAXY M Patriotic League Prepares to Give Men Kitting Reception. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 4. (Special.) All Salem will gather tomorrow morning at the Southern Pacific depot to greet the boys of Company M, Third Oregon Infantry, when they go through this city on the way to the state mobiliza tion grounds at Clackamas. The train bearing the Third battalion is sched uled to reach Salem at 7:30, according to information telegraphed ahead this afternoon from Dunsmuir, Cal. As on their departure for the border, the men will receive a big ovation from relatives and friends. This afternoon the members of the Salem "Patriotic VISITORS NOT WANTED AT CAMP WITH Y COM BK. Visitors will not be welcome a Camp Wlthycombe today or any day until the troops are definitely and comfortably settled. This fs the emphatic advice contained in telegrams received here yesterday from Colonel Mc Laughlin in command of the Third Oregon. Colonel McLaughlin estimated that it will be Friday of this week, or later, before the camp will be ready to receive visitors. This embargo applies to relatives and friends of the men as well as to the general public No excursions will be conducted to Camp Witbycombe until Colo nel McLaughlin .advises that he will permit them. Until then the camp will be closed to visitors. As soon aa the men are settled, however, the public will be ad mitted and welcomed, said the Colonel. i League decorated the depot with flow ers and the National colors. The league also has been collecting fruit and mak ing arrangements with patriotically in clined citizens to provide generous lunches for the soldiers. Tonight the Salem Commercial Club sent a telegram to Governor Withy combe, who left Salem yesterday to meet the troop train .t Roseburg, urg ing the Governor to use his influence in securing for the soldiers a stop-over privilege at Salem. It is requested that the boys be allowed to remain here from the time their train arrives in the morning until the afternoon. ALASKA MAY GO DRY NATIONAL XV. C. T. V. VICE-PRESIDENT BACK FROM NORTHLAND. Mrs. Ella A. Boole Passes Kew Min utes In Portland En Ronte Home. -Dry Situation Discassed. After being delayed for about three days in a dense fog near Ketichikan, Alaska, Mrs. Ella A. Boole, vice-president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, finally reached Portland last night at 10:30 o'clock. She was tendered an informal reception at the Union Depot, where she was greeted by Mrs. Jennie Kemp, state president of the Oregon Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union, and by sev eral other women of prominence and left 50 minutes later for the East. A large reception had been arranged for Mrs. Boole for last Saturday night, but as she could not be present, the affair was called off. Mrs. Boole was accompanied by her daughter. Miss Florence Boole, who is a school teacher of Brooklyn. N. Y. "This example of Oregon and Wash ington is an inspiration to Alaska," said Mrs. Boole. She had attended a Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union convention in Juneau and had held 38 meetings in Alaska. In addition. Mrs. Boole had studied conditions in the Northland. As a result of her work she said that a bill soon will be introduced into Congress providing for the transfer of the control of the schools from the United States Government to the Leg islature of Alaska, as under the exist ing circumstances the schools are maintained entirely by' money provided by license fees and from other sources controlled by liquor interests. With all its difficulties, however, Mrs. Boole predicted that Alaska would go dry. Mrs. Boole gave interesting character sketches of Mrs. Cornelia Templeton Hatcher. president of the Alaska Woman's Christ! an Temperance Union: of a Mrs. Dabney. of "Mile Twenty-three-and-a-half." who has been styled the "Carrie Nation of Alaska," and of several earnest workers in the cause. GREASED PIG ESCAPES PERFORMER AT MEAT COMPANY PICNIC GETS AWAY. Somewhere Near Gladstone Park Sleek Porker Is Supposedly Running; at Large. "Somewhere In Clackamas County," In the vicinity of Gladstone, there Is a thoroughbred razorback greased hog at large, which succeeded in breaking through the entrenchments of the em ployes of the Union Meat Company in the greased nig contest At th, nirni. held there yesterday. "He tore through the crowd and was still giong strong at two miles," said A. C. Black, last night, "and at latest reports he hadn't been brought back yet." There were 1400 persons, including the employes of the Union Meat Com pany and their families, participating in the picnic at Gladstone, and 150 coaches were required to carry them out to the grounds and back. They left Portland at 9 o'clock In the morning and returned at 7 o'clock in the evening. A baseball game be tween the "fats" and the "leans" was won by the former in the forenoon and the afternoon was devoted to races and games, for which prizes of mer chandise were given. The event of the blockade-running pig was the climax of the entertainment. This is the third annual picnic that the company has given its employes. Rich Victim of Highwayman lIes. BAY CITY.

COFFEE TELLS : OF UPLIFT WORK Jewish Social Service Worker Explains Plans for Race Betterment. AID PLANS EXPLAINED Movement Is Under Way to Send Hebrews From Ghettos of Big Cities Into Small Towns. Young: Folk Assisted. Social service plans. In which all Jewish communities are to be com bined, were discussed at Temple Beth Isreal last night by Dr. Rudolph I. Coffee, director of social service work in the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith. Three different branches of social service work are included in the plans which Dr. Coffee is bringing be fore his co-religionists. Aid for the dwellers In congested districts of large cities will be rendered by the establishment of employment bureaus intended to find places for these people in smaller, cities. Juveniles are to be assisted through a plan known as the big brother movement, which has already accomplished valu able work in Eastern cities. Another department of the Jewish plan is to find employment for prisoners released from prisons. Prisoners Aid Beneficial. "Our relief work for Jewish pris oners Is not intended to secure par dons for men who have been con victed of crimes, but to find employ ment for them when they come out of prison. One friend of mine is an ex pert safe cracker, probably the best in Illinois. After he served a sentence he was put to work for a large mall order house, and is now earning $12 a week while he learns to be an expert wrapper. "I am pleased to announce that thero Is not a single Jew serving a term in the Oregon penitentiary. This is also the case in Arkansas, Georgia and Alabama. "It Is my belief that poverty can be abolished in this country." said Dr. Coffee. "It is a disgrace for a people to call themselves civilized when such poverty exists among them. A great deal has been done by the Jews to al leviate distress, but a great deal more will be done as soon as the plan is sys tematized. Free Loan Societies Formed. "It is our intention to breathe the great wealth of Jewish idealism into American life. The Jews have been the money lenders of the world, but now they have formed a chain of He brew Free Loan Societies throughout the United States, which have loaned in total at least $1,000,000 every year. This work alone has relieved a tre mendous amount of distress in the country. "We believe the Jews are not happy in the shelters of our large cities. The ghetto is to be taken away from the American city as soon as this work can be put forward. Instead of gathering in thickly settled districts in the coun try the Jews can be evenly distributed wherever there are places for them. I have visited many of the smaller cities in the country and will make plans for employment agencies like these we established in the neighborhood of Chi cago. There we have found means of placing worthy Jews in positions in all cities within a radius of 200 miles. We merely hope to extend this system, so that all Coast cities that have oppor tunities for people in the larger centers can have them sent out. Movement Is Explained. "The big brother movement as car ried on by the Jews in larger cities has been a great factor in promoting Juvenile welfare. Several instances that I can cite will show the value of such work. One boy who threw a brick through a window was given a big brother, who looked after him for a time. The big brother gave him a book to read, and then called at his home to see if he was reading the book as had been promised. The visit to the home proved a revelation to the big brother, and it ended .by the whole family com ing into his care. "Another boy was discharged from the parental school, and given into the care of a big brother. He was sent to high school, where he made a fine record. If the boy continues to show promise until the first of January, the big brother Is going to change his will, and make provision for the boy to go through college." Race Prejudice Avoided. An Important Jewish activity is in connection with the Anti-Defamation League, which is making remarkable progress In destroying race prejudice. A recent instance of success is in con nection with a new film production, which was written to show the last days of the life of Jesus. "As the play was originally produced at Los Ange les," said Mr. Coffee, "the people who captured Jesus and stoned him and tore his garments and who crucified him were Jews. We offered to collaborate with the producers and showed them that their origins were unreliable. There are many facts to prove that the captors of Jesus were not Jews. Crucifixion was never a Jewish pun ishment. The Jewish law forbade a trial on the eve of a feast. No person could be condemned 'and punished on the same day. As a result of our ef forts the film people revised their scenario and showed that Jesus met his fate at the hands of the Romans, and that the Jews had taken no part in the persecution against him." Dr. Coffee was only in Portland for a short time yesterday, but found oppor tunity to confer with the Jewish com munal workers and to deliver an ad dress at the Temple Beth Israel. The services last night closed with the singing of "America." He left at 11 o'clock last night. " Record Is Extraordinary. The record achieved by Dr. Coffee as a worker in Jewish affairs is an ex traordinary one. Since January he has traveled 27,000 miles in the interests of the movement which he heads. His work began with his graduation from Columbia University In 1900, when he Inaugurated religious work among the members of the Young Men's Hebrew Association. At the same time he was an instructor in Teacher's College. In 1903 he was called as superintend ent of the Hebrew Orphan Ayslum in New York, one of the largest Hebrew charitable institutions in the world. From- 1906 to 1916 he was rabbi of the Tree of Life congregation in Pittsburg, where he became noted for his work on the moral efficiency commission, which conducted an effective clean-up cam paign in the city. He is the author of several artiles published in the Survey, a social service magazine printed in New York. Police Guard for Streetcars Asked. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. On the eve of a threatened strike on subway and elevated railway lines here Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interbor ough Rapid Transit Company, tonight asked Mayor MJtchel for police protec- tlon for the company's property. Mr. Shonts issued p. statement in which he declared that demands of the union would not be granted. MAIL TO GO BY TRANSPORT Army Vessels to Be Used to Avoid British Censorship. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 4. Trans ports of the United States Army hence forth will carry American mall for Manila and China and German first class matter going to the same destina tions, in compliance with orders that hae been received here from the Post office Department at Washington. The step is 'said to have been taken as a means of avoiding British censorship. Until the recent resumption of trans pacific service by the Pacific Mall Steamship Company much of this mail has been carried in British and Japa nese vessels by way of Vancouver, B. C. Protests entered with the Postofflce Department by San Francisco and Seattle business men that American trade was falling' into the hands of British concerns are supposed to have resulted in the ruling. The transport service to Manila Is four to five days slower than that of the lines previously .employed. CAR PLUNGES INTO RIVER Construction Crew on Interstate Span Leaps to Safety.
