WORKERS IN CONFERENCE Degree of Support to Be GiTen in Case General Strike Is Consid ered Xecd Is Discussed. At the conclusion of a conference yesterday between representatives of the metal trades council and Q. B. Hepardt, chief engineer for the dock comirlssion. It was announced that no decision had been reached In re gcrd to the continuation of work on the oil storagre tanks at the St. John municipal terminal, and that there were no new developments in the strike situation. Union men employed in the con struction of these tanks laid down their tools last Friday when steel plates for the tanks were sent out by the Overmire Steel Construction company, with non-union workmen from the plant. A small crew of non unicn men is reported to be still at work on the oil tanks. More Complications Possible. A conference was held by repre sentatives of the metal trades coun cil and the buildins trades council last night to determine to what ex tent the building trades will support the metal trades for a general strike at the municipal terminal if such ac tion becomes necessary in the view of tha union men. Mr. Hcgardt said la.t night that he Intended to maka a trip of inspection to the scene of operations at the municipal terminal this morning to determine what progress is being made on th6 work. If the non-union forces at work there are making sat isfactory progress, the contract let to C. C. Overmire by the commission of public docks will hold, and labor complications will probably follow. Coutrart May Be Canceled. If, in the opinion of Mr. Hegardt, the work is not progressing rapidly trough, the dock commission can cancel its contract with Mr. Overmire and obtain its material for the tanks from some shop which is approved, by the labor unions, in which case, ac cording to C. K. Kendrigan, secre tary of the metal trades council, the workmen are more than willing to return to work and rush the oil tanks to completion. Considerable interest is focused upon the progress of the work on the oil tanks at St. Johns because a few days' delay in their completion will mean the loss to Portland of a valuable cariro of vegetable oil be icg brought back from the orient by the steamer Coaxet of the Admiral line, which is due here November 4. If the tanks and appli&r.cos for the handling o; the oriental oils are not ready, this portion of her cargo will be sent to Seattle for unloading. STATE TO ASK DISMISSAL juLirs vrrxBrn liqttor case VP OS APPEAL. Defendant Said to Have Left State to Escape Serving Jail Sentence in Multnomah County. SALEM, Or., Oct 20. (Special.) The case of the state of Oregon against Julius Wilbur, formerly pro prietor of the once notorious Friar's club at Milwaukie, which is now pending in the United States supreme court, will be dismissed, according to a decision reached by Attorney-General George M. Brown and Gilbert Hedges, district attorney of Clacka mas county. Wilbur was convicted and sen tenced to pay a fine and serve a jail sentence in the Clackamas county courts for the sale of liquor made on September 23, 1916, in violation of the elate prohibition law. He then appealed the case to the state su preme court, with the result that the verdict of the lower tribunal was affirmed. It was charged in the ap peal that the indictment against Wil bur was faulty in that it failed to set out to whom the alleged sale of liquor was made. Following the ruling of the Oregon supreme court the defendant appealed the action to the United States su preme court, but arguments were de layed because of the absence of Wil bur's attorney in France. This morn ing the attorney-general received a telegram from Washington that the case probably would come up about October 24. Knowing that Wilbur had not filed a brief in the case, and that he had left the state in order to escape 6erving a jail sentence in Multnomah county, the attorney-general telegraphed to ascertain what action could be taken in having the case dismissed without creating the HAVE YOU SCROFULA? Now Said to Be -as Often Acquired as Inherited. It is generally and chiefly indicated by eruptions and sores, but in many cases it enlarges the glands of the neck, affects the internal organs, e pecially the lungs, and if neglected may develop into consumption. It causes many troubles, and is aggravated by impure air, unwhole some food, bad water, too much heat or cold and want of proper exercise. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the medicine that has been used with so much satisfaction by three generations, is wonderfully successful in the treat ment of scrofula. Give it a trial. If a cathartic or laxative is needed. take Hood's Pills there is nothing better for biliousness or constipation. Adv.

Schooner, Once Property of Robert Lonis Stevenson, Wrecked, Can not Be Floated. SEATTLE. 'Wash., Oct. 20. Eleven nr embers of a gold-seeking expedition which sailed from San Francisco for rorthern Siberia last summer aboard Robert Louis Stevenson's old schooner, the Casco, arrived here to di,y on their way back to California.

The Casco, when It left San Fran cisco, was heided for the Kolvma river country of northern Siberia. Early ice blocked the boat when she reached Nortn cape, about 400 miles west of Baring straits.

Eric Smith, mate of the Casco, who arrived here today, said the party planned to get another boat and re turn to the north next spring. Truck Driver Is Accused. SALEM, or., Oct. 20. (Special.) A. F.

' ' Sales Manager Advises Orchardists to Deliver Only Sorter Varie ties at This Time. HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 20. (Spe cial.) "We are facing the-worst car shortage in the history of our or ganization." said C. W. McCullagh. sales manager of the Apple Growers' association, in announcing new rules governing the delivery by growers of apples. "This fact, together with the largest crop the valley has ever produced, makes new rules obliga tory." Growers are asked to deliver only their softer varieties, holding back Newtowns, Arkansas Blacks and Ben Davis. The sales department now is listing all available storage space in the valley. A nominal rental will be paid growers foa use of their ware houses for temporary storage. Short age of help and cars will probably prevent the association sending out the annual gift car, filled with fruit for eastern friends and relatives ot valley folks. No one not a member of the association will be granted storage of apples for personal use this year, and members will bo limited to ten boxes. Mr. McCullagh warns growers not to be atarmed at rumors. "We have sold a sufficient amount of the crop to be moved early." he says, "and if J cars are supplied promptly the con- GYPSY IS HELD KIDNAPER Wanderer Charged With. Stealing His Own Daughter.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) gfade for each type of engine When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region It generally means that you have been eating too much meat, says a well- known authority. Meat forms uric acid, which overworks the kidney In their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralysed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body'a urinous waste, else you have backache, sick head ache, dixzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when tho weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. . Either consult a good, reliable phy sician at once or get from your phar macist about four ounces ot Jad Salts: take a tableepoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com bined with lithia. and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weak ness.

In France mothers and daughters look like sisters. How are the women there able to retain their youthful looks until long past middle age? Is it because they are much given to the use of mercolized wax? This wax possesses a remarkable absorbent property which quickly removes the fine particles of cuticle which are constantly dying and which are the immediate cause of an old-looking complexion. Thus the livelier, health jer, younger skin beneath is given a chance to breathe and to show itself. Try this treatment yourself. Most likely it will not require two weeks to make your complexion aa clear, soft and beautiful as a young girl's. Just one ounce of mercolised wax (all American druggists have it), usually does the work. The wax is put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornings. Adv.
