orcist." While the charge of using
the mails with intent to defraud is
placed against' him, and his exami
nation before United States Commis
sioner Drake will be proceeded with,
there is a suspicion that his rigorous
study of the mysteries may have
clouded his reason.
"I present to you," says Pfaden
hauer, "the knowledge given to me
by Albertus Magnus, whose books
everybody ought to read, and of the
old wise Kabballists, who eave us
the Sschemhamphoras."
But the deputy district attorneys,
the deputy marshals, the postoffice
inspectors and the rest of the official
federal family shook their heads in
bewilderment and turned for light to
'To See in Darkest Xlglit," Says
Pfadenhauer, "Grease lives
With Blood of Bat."
If you are afflicted with yellow
Jaundice, bots, ringworm, nightmare,
witchcraft or Spanish influenza be of
Rood cheer though men of medicine
say there isn't a ray of hope for
Portland holds a master who pro
fesses to cure these and many more.
Strictly speaking, the federal author
ities hold him, following his arrest
yesterday afternoon by Postal In
spector Linebaugh on a. charge of
using the mails with intent to de
fraud. The prisoner is George Pfaden
hauer, who styles himself "Master
George." He is a serious, gaunt, little
spectacled German, with the keen
glance of obsession, who exhibits nu
merous letters from satisfied clients
to prove that he is as efficient at
wrestling with the Influenza as' he is
at exorcising an evil spirit or chas
ing away a witch.
Nightmare Laid to Witchcraft.
"When Assistant United States at
torney Veatch opened Pfadenhauer's
pamphlet, price $1, entitled "Divine
Healing, Spiritual, Magical, Magnetic,
by Master George," and cast his
amazed gaze over any formula of the
many that cram its astounding pages
he was back again, in the middle
ages, when the blood of a toad's heart
was sovereign for palsy and the fall
ing .sickness.
Here is a sample excerpt:
"The nightmare is another malady
produced by witchcraft. To overcome
it put your shoes, with the toes point
ing outside, under your bed. As soon
as you feel something coming say
'Lord.' It will have to disappear im
mediately. Also recite the exorcisms
and you will see the person that does
the work leaving, and next day, in
most cases, will meet that person."
And a paragraph further down Mr.
Veatch culled this advice for the
witch-ridden:
"As a magical remedy heat a fire
poker red hot and dip into a pail of
water. This remedy can be used in
all cases of witchcraft. If your feet
always burn, if you have stitching in
the breast or any other ailment try
that remedy and your pain will im
mediately disappear if it does not,
then it was not produced by witch
craft." Satisfied Clients Write.
"Master George" had many satisfied
clients who mailed him repeat orders
for the pamphlet of mysteries. Con
cerning the red-hot poker specific,
O. O. Ritland of San Diego wrote him
the following testimonial:
"I enclose $1. Please send two
books if you can afford it. I gave
my book to a friend and I got another
friend to give one to. I used the
poker for witchcraft and found it the
best I ever tried. It gave instant re-
BUltS."
Pfadenhauer was arrested at his
First-street lodgings after the Port
land postal authorities had received
from postoffice patrons copies of the
advertising literature that "Master
George" had mailed them, in which
he declared that SO per cent of all
disease is caused by black art and
that he possesses the remedies for
obsession", all physical and spiritual
ills and the secret of the holy names
of the Kabballa.
"I have made many cures," said the
little man to his captors. "My work
is based upon the admission that
there is a devil, that there are evil
spirits and witches and that to exor
cise these is to free mankind from
the majority of its ailments. My
science is not new it is as old as
Kgypt."
Cure of 'Klu" Asserted.
In the booklet Pfadenhauer claims
that by the administering of "Father
Neils' flu remedy" he cured a Seattle
boy of Spanish influenza and small
pox. The formula is simplicity itself.
It comprises a mixture of lard, qui
nine, coal oil and turpentine as an
ointment, over which the 93d Psalm
should be read, and carries with it the
exorcism which, Pfadenhauer claims,
cured the patient.
"Bedgoblin and all ye evil spirits,"
runs the mummery, "I forbid you the
bedstead of N. N. I forbid you his
couch. I forbid you in the name of
God his house and home. I forbid
you in the name of the holy trinity
his blood and flesh, his body and soul.
I forbid you the nailholes in his house
and home, till you have traveled over
every hillock, waded through every
water, have counted all the leaflets
of the trees and counted all the star
lets in the sky. . . ."
One would fancy that ought to hold,
enmesh and occupy the wickedest
spirit of the lot, but "Master George"
has yet another device.
"After this," he proceeds, "give the
patient three doses of Seidlitz pow
ders five minutes apart."
How to Recover Goods Told.
There are several holy names that
must be used to conjure by, according
to "Master George." . He charges his
disciples to speak them plainly as
they pronounce the exorcism. Here
are the celestial cognomens of three
angels appended to an exorcism. Try
them out:
"Edoae, Veoaefp, Beoaev."
Has your house been robbed of late?
The magician offers this procedure
for the recovery of stolen goods:
"Write on two slips of paper
Abraham bound it. Isaac -redeemed
and found it. Jacob carried it home.
It is bound as tightly as steel and
iron, chains and fetters.' "
It seems sort of tough to rout the
prophets out of eternity for the trans
action of business that is properly
the police bureau's, but the charm
proceeds:
"Place one slip over the door by
which the thief left, the other under
the door. Usually the third day the
things return."
Other gleams of sorcery, under the
dark star, are such as those that treat
of witches. Pfadenhauer asserts that
witches always work in gangs of
seven, and are supplied with seven
sorcerers, pitting the unfortunate
victim against the combined spiritual
malignancy of 14 persons. Unless
help arrives, declares the magician,
the afflicted one is slain within three
days.
Tussles Are Enumerated.
He enumerates one or two severe
tussles with witchcraft, notably his
strife with The witch of Oceanside,
and "the archwitch of Fort Bragg,
where he won the decision by a handy
margin, planting the right hook of
exorcism with telling effect.
"The devil doesn t like me very
well, because every battle I had with
him he always came out the loser,"
modestly appends Pfadenhauer.

EFIXJRTS TO SKTTLE COAST
TAILORS' STRIKE RENEWED.
Federal Peace-Makers in San Fran
cisco to Confer With Journey
men and Employers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15. (Spe
cial.) Federal Mediators E. P. Marsh
and Captain C. T. Connell have ar
rived in San Francisco, under orders
from the United States department of
labor, to make another effort to set
tle the strike of the journeymen
tailors which has been in effect
since September 1 in all Pacific coast
cities, following the refusal of mer
chant tailors to grant a 44-hour
weekly wage of $44.
That this is the opportune time to
make another attempt to settle the
strike is the opinion of Marsh and
Connell, who cite the fact that repre
sentatives of all journeymen tailors'
unions of the Pacific coast meet in
convention in San Francisco tomor
row to perfect a coast organization
and that on January 20 the Pacific
Coast Merchant Tailors' association
will convene in this city.
Two representatives of the journey
men tailors union are also here from
the east and will use their influence
to adjust the controversy between
the journeymen and merchant tailors,
which has resulted in establishment
of the open shop in the tailoring in
dustry or the Pacific coast.
CHARTER DAY OBSERVED

PACIFIC UNI VERSITT, Forest
Grove, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) Char
ter day exercises were held last night
in celebration of the Incorporation
of Tualatin academy and Pacific uni
versity under the act of the terri
torial legislative assembly of Ore
gon on January 10, 1854, five years
after the founding of the school.
The programme consisted of two
piano numbers by Miss Aileen Hoff
man; invocation, Rev. waiter Blair;
reading of the charter, Dr. H. L.
Bates; vocal solo, Arthur C. Jones
and the address of the evening on
Intellectual Preparedness," by Rob
ert Treat Piatt, who is a member
of the board of trustees.
President Clark tnen called upon
Verle Stanley, student body -presi
dent, to cut the mammoth birthday
cake of which everyone present had
portion. The singing of college
songs closed this celebration in honor
of Pacific's 71st birthday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. By a vote
of nearly three to one. the senate to
day passed the waterpower develop
ment bill, different in some respects
from the measure adopted by the
house In July, but following in a gen
eral way the same bill that has been
be-fore congresB in one form or anoth
er for the last decade.
Five republicans and 13 democrats
voted against it, while Senator Nel
son, republican, Minnesota, who was
in charge of the fight for passage
and who stood his ground against
every effort to defeat it, got 53 votes
in its favor. The bill was sent to
conference for adjustment of house
and senate differences.
License Charge Limited.
Just before the final vote was
taken, the senate reconsidered its for
mer action and restored an amend
ment which would limit the govern
ment license charge of waterpower
projects to 25 cents per horsepower
developed. Senator Ltnroot. republi
can, Wisconsin, who opposed the
amendment, declared it was a conces
sion to special Interests and expressed
the opinion that it was calculated to
invite a presidential veto.
Motion by Senator Walsh, demo
crat, Montana, to reconsider the vote
on an amendment by Senator Nugent,
democrat, Idaho, affecting power de
velopment on land held by Indians,
brought about a two-hour discussion.
Senator Nugent proposed that no
se should be authorized within
dian reservation except by and
with consent of the council of the
tribe.
Senator Walsh, In opposing it, held
that the government was the guard
ian of the Indian.
Graft Held Likely.
Old-time graft charged in the
election of United States senators by
legislatures of the states," Senator
Walsh declared, "would not be a cir
cumstance to what would happen if
tribal councils passed on the question
of water power licenses.
Senator Walsh explained that in
makin this statement he means no
reflection on the Indians but that
they would be subject to all sorts of
graft invitations by special interests.
Senate conferees on the water
power bill were appointed as follows:
Jones of Washington, Nelson,
Smoot, Fall, republicans, and Bank-
head and Myers, democrats.
The bill as passed by the senate
provides for creation of a federal
water power commission, composed of
the secretaries of war,- interior arid
agriculture, which would be author
ized, after investigation, to issue It
censes for development of water
power projects, "for a reasonable an
nual charge." The licenses would
run for 50 years.
State Co-operation Provided.
The measure further provides that
the federal commission shall co-op
erate with the state and other federal
agencies, mat tnere snail be no
charge on state and municipal
power projects and that industrial
plants developing less than 200 horse
power shall not be required to pay
license. On two years notice
writing the United States would have
the right, at the expiration of
license, to take over and operate
plants.
Power plants now in operation
would not come under provisions of
the bill.
At the expiration of the 50-year
license period the government would
have three alternatives in dealing
with all licensed projects:
rake over the plant; issue a new
license, or have the original license
continued in operation.
