ALLIANCE AIDS GELLATLY Krfcct of Calling Legislature on Candidacy of Governor Ifart Still fncertaiu. SEATTLE, Wash.. March 24. (Spe- SESSION MI J cial.) Gubernatorial possibilities in T.j I tendance at the special session of Vj the legislature made little headway In turtherinsr thair ambitions when a . ! consideration is given a summary ot ; 'J results. About the only thing that was 1m- rresyed upon members ot the two t i houses and the small army of visitors i that went to the capitol this week was " "j the fact that Representative J. A. Gel--. . .! latly. the Wenatchee contribution to the gubernatorial race, will make a '.. : ttrens appeal for non-partisan league .' I end triple alliance support. He had . the enthusiastic co-operation of triple alliance members of the house in his lisht for the submission of a tax .' amendment to the state constitution 1 which would ive the legislative au " ' thority to classify property for pur poses of taxation. .) Tat as Inane Promised Gellatly played up strong to this .'' facticn. promising lie would make the ' tax feature of his Gubernatorial pro i Kramme more prominent before the t primaries are held. The triple a'.li r-. a nee leaders in ".he legislature warmed ' up to Gellatly and he did not seem to J ho a bit annoyed about their friend- J ship. committee meetine.. Gellatly told the s'hool teachers that he was down the ' lino with them on their 20-20 pro gramme, and anything else they wanted, to obtain an increase in eaiaries. It is doubtful whether GeHatley can set much credit from the teachers. If the school fraternity is in doubt about the value of hU support they lan turn to the house records and dis cover that his tax bill only polled 41 votes and that many supporters would rot be anywhere nearly enough to jjass a bill. t'omaa Maces Myntery.' It will bo recalled that Ed. T. Co man, senator from Spokane, started out in the appropriations committee meetings to make a mystery out of the call for the special Session. He laid .stress on th: fact that the schools of higher education had reported at Pullman that they could get through on their present appropriations until January, when the regular session will be held. Later on, however. President Henry Suzzallo of the state university punctured this bit of gubernatorial politics by showing that the legislature had to meet and pro vide additional revenue or the general fund would be so badly depleted by next January that there would be no money for anybody. Coman has been severely criticised during the past 10 days and he has stood out among the members who wanted to start a vivisection class with the state administration as the subject used to teach beginners how the machinery is put together. Lamping Malm Little Prncrctm. Probably George B. Lamping, state senator, knew cards were stacked against him before he took his gov ernorship boom to Olympia late Sunday, and he has not appeared to take developments of the session that has gone against him with too much seriousness. A number of his colleagues in the senate have taken delight in rubbing the Lamping fur the way it hurts the most, and Lamping has been prodding his opponents just as enthusiastically as though it would make some dif ference when he casts up his political accounts. The opposition does not figure that it has accomplished much more than make Lamping unhappy for a while, and looking back over the special session, it does not ap pear as though he had edged up any closer to the gubernatorial goal. As for Governor Jlart. it might just as well be summarized thus: He called the special session le cause he deemed one necessary. He tried to hold down the meeting, but where he figured that the state was obliged to go to the front and tax it self heavily for continuing the state institutions, he volunteered to bear e brunt of responsibility. Just now too early to analyze the political a iv-T a eneci oi tne session upon tne man '. :.: i 'who called it, knowing what was in Btore for him. Hartley Paves Way, Then there is Colonel Rolan H. Hartley, who went to look on and who kept his hands off whatever the legislature planned to do or want ed to accomplish. Hartley was a good mixer, but he did not obtrude his own candidacy. He tried to act on onlooker and succeeded pretty well. His jaunt down to the capital convinced him that the time had ar rived when he should begin to make a noise like a candidate, and he is likely to start something very soon. Hartley very likely will begin to stir up things in his own behalf right away. SUPPOSED BURGLAR HELD Tlirce Men Xow I'ndcr Arrest Said to Have Worked Together. Archie Walker, alias Doc Walsh who is charged with having been con nected with a gang of burglars who robbed the bank at Scio on March 3, and who are suspected of a number of other recent robberies in Wil lamette valley towns, was arrested at HOW TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR A Cincinnati Barber Tells How Make a Remedy for Gray Hair. to Sir. Frank Harbaugh of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has been a barber for more than forty years, recently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy.

The arrest of Walker followed that of Fred Peterson, alias Swede Whitey, and Charles Lippold, alias Russell Shawhan, last Thursday, and the three men are thought to have been operat ing together. Walker Is said to have acted as lookout at the- Scio bank robbery, when loot estimated at be tween $10,500 and 112,000 was taken, including a large quantity of war sav ings stamps. Peterson and Lippold were arrested by secret service agents in co-operation with Pinkerton operatives. The government authorities were espe cially interested in the case owing to the charge that war savings stamps were altered by the trio. Some of the funds of the postoffice at Scio are also said to have been taken in tne roD- bery. , Walker Is 43 years of age and told the officers he was a peddler by pro fession. FAL1NG WILL CASE HEARD ATTORNEYS PRESENT A Ku L - MENTS OX APPEAL. Contest Continues on Beliair of Heirs Following Death of Dr. YV. Tyler Smith. Another chapter is being written into the bitterly contested Faling will case. Attorneys are presenting iSu- ments before Circuit Judge Staple ton on an appeal from the county court where former county juage Tazwell upheld the validity of the will. Mrs. Karifa Jane Faling. who died July 5, 1917, left a will bequeathing the bulk of her $000,000 estate to Thomas N. Strong and C. Lewis' Head old-time friends. Two months later W. Tyler Smith of Sheridan, Or., cousin of the deceased, filed suit to break the will, alleging mental in firmities on the part of Mrs. Faling just prior to her death, and likewise accusing the two chief beneficiaries of exerting undue influence upon their aged benefactress. The case was one of the longest will contests ever heard in the local county court and taking of testimony continued from October 15, 1917, to July, 1918. In May, 1919, Judge Taz well, then on the county bench, hand ed down the decision in which he up held the will and denied the contest ant anv participation in the estate. Dr. Smith died after the case had been finished in the county court and while on appeal to the circuit court, but the case is being continued on behalf of his heirs. Arguments on the appeal are now being made by Coy Burnett and E. E. Heckbert, attorneys for the contest ants, and by John F. Logan, James J. Wilson and C. Henri L.abbe, attor neys for the estate. The case should be completed by the latter part of the week. NO REFUND WILL BE MADE Council Decides ot to Remit Rent for Auditorium. Pisgah Home colony, operated by "Mother" Lawrence, will receive no refund for rent paid the city for use of the public auditorium when it staged an entertainment, designed to provide money for the work, but which actually lost financially there by. The city council yesterday morn ing decided to refuse the application for a remission. The vote against re funding was unanimous. "It's a hard proposition, gentle men," said the mayor. "What do you wish to do about it? They lost money on their entertainment. They had paid their rent. Should we refund? 1 confess it is a hard situation." "There should be no refunds," said Commissioner "Bigelow. "No matter who it is." "If the city is to ha-e a rate it must collect it and not refund," said Com missioner Barbur. "Otherwise we will be asked continually for refunds." RICKMAN STILL MISSING Efforts to Find Printing Company Manager Are Unsuccessful. Continued efforts to locate William Hickman, former manager of the Modern Printing company, who dis appeared from the city with approxi mately $3000, some of which he is al leged to have procured from various sources through illegal methods, were unavailing yes-tcrday. No word of the missing man has yet been received. At the offices of the Burns Inter national Detective agency it was said the hunt for Rickman would continue unabated and belief was expressed that he wouldj be apprehended within a short time and returned to Port land to face a felony charge which was placed against him in the district court by officials of the Hartman & Thompson bank. Mrs. Rickman is still in Portland with friends, but it is said she in tends leaving shortly for Chicago to remain with relatives. "DRY" CASE IS THRILLER Flegcl Leaves to Prosecute Pair at Klamath Falls. Real motion picture thrills are in eluded in the narrative of a federal case that called Deputy United States Attorney Flegel to Klamath Kails last night, where he will prosecute McKinley David and Ben Bourbanaise for alleged sales of liquor to Indians on the Klamath reservation. When Bourbanaise was appre hended, several weeks ago, he was lodged for the night in the town jail at Yanik. whence he contrived to escape with the assistance 'of Elktooth Jackson, one of the govern merit's wards, it is said. Jackson is said to have liberated the prisoner, who is known in the Klamath country as "Tex," and the two rode the Indian's saddle horse to freedom. The pace was so cruel that their mount died of exhaustion. Bourbanaise was recaptured and held for trial. PLAIN-CLOTHES MAN SUED W. E. Warfel Asks $500 of E. M. Taylor, Alleging Persecution. E. M.

Report Says Accounts Compare Fa vorably With Business Records of Like Size. In a report of the business man agement of school district No. 1, com prising Portland and vicinity, W. R. Mackenzie & Son, accountants, ss that "on the whole, it is our opinion that the general system of accounts, the office records and the methods of doing business compare very favor ably with others of like magnitude.' The audit, for which there was great clamor several weeks ago, cost the taxpayers $350. Nothing out of the ordinary was discovered, the accountants report. The only recommendation made is that, with conditions becoming more settled following the war period there be annual cost estimates o probable needs in consumption of supplies for the district and contracts let thereon and more flexible means of cash payments on open accounts might result in a saving. Otherwise no suggestions accompany the report The accountants report all business transactions regular; prices paid for materials-and supplies, even those purchased on open account, are fair and are thus purchased only after due routine is followed in the effort to get bids. The principal items covered were In regard, to disbursements, ex- eluding salaries and wages, and in eluded new buildings, fuel, janitors' supplies, manual training, stock and miscellaneous purchases.

Adv. severe rams PAINS OVERCOME iseuntis is tne inflammation of a nerve or group of nerves and its principal symptom is pain. Some times the pain is sharp and boring. sometimes it Is shooting and in some cases there Is a numbness of the af fected nerve. The disease becomes evident as part of a general condition of debility. When the blood becomes thin and weak it cannot carry sufficient nour ishment to the nerves. The tonic treatment, is especially effective in cases of neuritis and many oter forms of nervous trouble. When the blood becomes well-oxidized and rich it carries strength to every part of the body and gives to the starved nerves the elements they need. The value of this treatment is proved by the experience of Mrs. Kathrine Winglcr, who lives at No. 239 Sherman street, St. Paul, Minn. When seen recently, at her home, Mrs. Wingler said: "I had severe neuritis pains in mv shoulders and neck. My hands were so numb at times that they felt dead and at other times the fingers tingled with pain. Sometimes the pain was sharp and shooting and I suffered so that I couldn't sleep. I became very nervous and had bad headaches that would last for hours. I never knew what the cause of my sickness was but I was badly run down and the at tacks came on following exposure to damp, cold weather. "I had always heard a great deal about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I decided to try them. Two weeks after I started taking the pills the pain seemed a little less severe, so I continued taking them. Gradually my strength returned, my blood be came better and the neuritis pains in my shoulders and neck disappeared entirely. I sleep soundly now my appetite is goua ana i ieei like a different person. I am sure that others will be spared a great deal of suffering if they will only gfve Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial."
