SILBTCED BY WRECK
Injured, on Hospital Cots, Re
count Accident.
BOY'S PRANKS AMUSING
Other Passengers Laughing1 at An
tics of Little 1 "leu rot Dosch
Josselyn as Death Strikes.
Childish laughter -was transferred
In an Instant to cries of anguish and
pain when the two west side South
ern Pacific electric trains came to
gether near Bertha station Sunday
morning. .
Little stories of scenes enacted dur
ing those brief moment3 of terror are
being told from hospital cots as the
injured victims slowly recover their
composure.
Little seven-year-old FleSrot Dosch
Josselyn, nephew of Miss Camille
Dosch, was regaling the crowded in
coming car with his childish Antics,
and men and women all were laugh
ing with the little lad when the crash
oC steel and timber brought instant
leath to the laughing boy and those
about him.
Crash Interrupted Laaghlcr.
"He was pretending to shoot his
aunt with a little sling-shot which he
had and they were laughing and en
joying it greatly," said Mrs. "VV. E.
Sawdey, who sat directly' across the
aisle. "In fact, we were all laughing
at the little boy's fun. The last thing
I remember was his childish laugh.
At that instant the crash came."
Mrs. S. K. Willett, wife of the en
gineer of the incoming train who was
almost instantly killed, was waiting
at the Southern Pacific depot for her
husband to return from his trip Sun
day morning. She had driven over to
the depot in their automobile and had
been planning to take her husband
out for ar afternoon" ride.
Girl Start to Church.
Mrs. "Willett began to wonder why
ta train was late, when a close
friend of the family came by and in
duced her to return home. It was not
until she had reached her house that
Mrs. Willett was told for the first
time of her husband's tragic death.
One of the sad features of the trag
edy was the manner in which Mrs.
E. "W. Hatch of Hillsdale learned that
lier daughter, Ina. was killed and an
other daughter, Florence, seriously
injured.
The two girls had left home to
gether to come to Portland for church
services. Mr. and Mrs. Hatch came
later in their automobile. The moth

evening and return home with her.

Agent Tells of Wreck:.
"When I went to the Fourth street
depot to get my ticket the agent told
mo t'ey were not selling any tickets
on that line," said Mrs. Hatch. "They
then told me there had been a wreck.
and even before they told me the hour
of the wreck I felt that my two girls
had been in it.
"It was not until I reached Good
Samaritan hospital that I learned Ina
had been killed.
The daughter, Florence, continues
to cry out to her nurses and ask for
her sister, Ina, but she has not yet
been told of the sister's death. , It
will be several days before she learns
of it.

POLICE NOT ASKED TO LOCATE
STELLA MORRISS.
Woman Arrested in Seattle May Be
Held for Investigation as to -.
. Mental Condition.
Un to a late hour yesterday the
police of Portland had not received
any notification from Seattle with
reference to a woman supposed to
be Stella Morriss of Portland, who,
according to dispatches from that
city, was held by the authorities
there following an attack upon juiss
Marian Elizabeth Haynes.
Dispatches from Seattle stated that
the woman gave the name of Vera
Stewart of Los Angeles, but that at
the time of her arrest a letter found
torn to bits in the room where she
was hiding following the attack had
borne the name of Stella Morriss of
Portland.
Captain Circle, head of the detec
tive bureau, said that his office had
not been advised of the arrest or
asked to make an - inquiry in the
matter.
Information from Seattle indicated
that the woman might be held for
investigation as to her sanity. She
is said to have suddenly grabbed Miss
Haynes and cut her across the face
with a penknife without any appar
ent provocation.

Pantages.
AN excellent array of vaudeville
acts go -to make up the new bill
at Pantages, with ' one of Langdon
McCormack's spectacular acts to pro
vide a thrilling headliner. This act is
by the same man who produced "The
Forest Fire," and this one, too. Is of
a conflagration, only that it is a
ship which burns at sea.
"On the High Seas" is the title and,
while the attraction depends mainly
on its spectacular scenic and lighting
efffects, there is a capable cast of
actors and one particularly. These
are James Phillips, who plays the role
of a wireless operator who is a
patriot and gets aboard a boat where
treachery to the American govern
ment is being carried on. The story
is dramatic, even melodramatic in
places, and sustains interest.
The pictured event.; are, however,
the thrillers. The first one is in
the interior of a ship in mid-ocean,
the second Is aboard a Cnited States
cruiser and he third is a realistic
arrivaj of a battle fleet. A huge
burning ship rides the waves and
two others come plowing through
tho waters to rescue her. Electrical
devices and amazingly ingenious
contrivances furnish mrsterious ef
fects and create a real sensation.
r.ritt Wood is a capital entertainer.
He is fundamentally an actor aud
would have all the town for followers
if he were in stock. He is a panto
mime and would be a riot in pictures.
His comedy depends on his slow, nat
ural methods, a chuckle, a sly all
embracing wink and an attitude of
deep thought. He is very amusing,
whether he sings about Irene while
he twangs a guitar, or plays the
mouth harp or dances. '
The College Quintet presents a fra
ternity rehearsal, the entire musical
setting of which was composed by one
of the talented five, an interesting
chap 'of delightful personality whose
name is Charles Harrison.
The melody five, one of whom Is a
pretty girl with a flutey, sweet voice,
carry on in songs and wind up with
a riotous travesty on an orchestra
playing one of the classics. It is so
fjinny that the audience fairly yells.
Foley and O'Neal, who . wrote
"Jerry," are a likable pair, full of
comedy and gifted vocally. They 'can
dance, too. and fairly make the air
crackle with their gayety. One of
theiruew songs, "My Regular Girl Is
a Regular Fellow," is a delightfully
pleating melody, the lines are good
and the two boys crowd a lot of har
mony into it, c- -
Opening the bill is a corking dance
act put across by the Four Laurels,
two slender dance-mad maids and
two men, one of whom is a Fatty
Arbuckle with Johnjiy Ford's feet.
He adds comedy of a good -rt and,
with the others, goes through a mil
lion fast, intricate steps, exciting ap
plause. Henry. Frey, billed as "the new re
former," does a monologue.
The tenth episode of "Dare Devil
Jack," featuring pugilist Jack Demp
sey, is running.

ences to those who suffered through
it. The message is as follows:
"On behalf of the company and of
myself-and those associated with me
in the operating of this property
please extend to the relatives and
friends of those who lost their lives
in the sad accident of yesterday our
sentiments of sorrow and sympathy,
The general manager has instructed
that everything possible be done for
the comfort and relief of those injured
and to each of them our sympathy is
extended.
"It has been the policy of the com
pany to be vigilant in all matters
pertaining to the safety of the trav
eling public and of the employes and
this policy of vigilance has not been
relaxed. Hence this accident gives
us most serious concern and a board
of inquiry has been called to make
full anii public investigation of the
causes of the accident that the re
sponsibility may be determined.
"Southern Pacific officials and men
have been combined in an effort for
several years to make the record of
the Southern Pacific as nearly per
fect in safety for travel as human or
ganization permits. That failure
bringing bereavement and suffering
has overtaken us in this instance is
keenly felt by men and officers."

Women of AU Ages and Times
. '
Ask your mother, aunt, grandmother, they will tell you of folks
they have known who were cured of the many distressing, painful
diseases which occur in most women's lives, by taking Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, which is sold by druggists, in both fluid and
tablet form. What women say: v -
Mrs. Cora Pick, 5004 Martin St., Spokane, Wash., says:
"When I was sixteen years old the local doctors all said there was
no hope for me that I would die inside of six months of consump
tion. I read an advertisement in a paper about Dr Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and what it had done for other girls. I got
a -bottle of it and commenced to feel better right away and before
I had finished the second bottle was all right. Have been regular
ever since and am as healthy as any woman."
. Mrs. W. D. Moore, 1246 No. Jackson St., Roseburg, Oregon,
says: "I suffered something terrible, could scarcely stand on my
feet. My head and back ached hard and I was weak and nervous.
My legs and feet ached would bloat, and I was troubled with
constipation. I had a severe pain in my side. I took Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and Pleasant Pellets and they cured me and
I was well and strong. Then, d'vring middle life I again took
them and got through so well."
Mrs. R. B. Ralph. 60 Terllurium St., Redding Calif., says:
"Dr. Pierce's Fevorite Prescription is perfectly wonderful. I owe
everything to this medicine.- When I was passing through middle
life I had hemorrhages, also suffered severe pain and had terrible
headaches. I suffered everything. Finally, I decided to take the
Favorite Prescription'; it stopped the headaches, the f ains and
the hemorrhages. I never-had any more trouble.'
There is no such thing as a
"new" Pierce-Arrow." Each year
sees refinements in body styles
and mechanical features, but the
fundamentals remain the same.
The Dual Valve Six of today
has greater power and more flexi
bility than the model of yester
day. But this increased power
has been secured by a refinement
of six cylinder construction not
by an increase of cylinders.
As with the Dual Valve, so with every other
Pierce-Arrow improvement. Each is a better
ment of proved, basic design, not the substitution
of a new and untried feature.
