Otis Mayes of Portland Killed "on
Special Train at Station Sear
The Dalles.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 24 (Spe-
ci.U.) Otis Mayes. 122 Graham street
I'ortland. brakeman on etra train
2157 of the Q.-W. R. & N.. was shot
and killed last night about 9 o'clock
and the body thrown beside the track
at Ohatfield. a flasr station about 12
miles west of The Dalles. "Little
Ole." a Georgia nero and the air
lcced murderer, with two black com
nankins, was captured by a posse
within 100 yards of Mount Hood
lodge, in the upper valley, this after
noon.
Little Ole" has been workingr re
cuntly with a construction gang near
Hot Lake.
Krori Are Surrounded.
TTomer Roeers. host at the resort
Sheriff Christman of "Wasco county
and other members of a posse Kit
rounded the ncsroes in a thickly
wooded plot. Except for Ole, who car
ried a small pistol, presumably the
weapon used last nisrht, none of the
blacks was armed. Sheriff Chrisman
returned the negroes here ten'srht,
taking them to The Dalles. Ole faces
first degree murder,f barges and the
other blacks may be arraigned as ac
complices in the murder, one of the
most brutal ever committed in this
section.
Two white beys, Tom Burr, aged
18. of Centralia, Wash., and Burt
Mitchell, 21, of San Francisco, and
two other negroes were captured here
last night.
Mayes was not missed ky fellow
members of the freight train crew
until the train reached here. Pools
of blood were discovered on the floor
of a gondola car. A man, whose
name was not learned by local au
thorities, hearing the conversation of
the train crew, gave the alarm when
he saw the two young whites and
the two negroes in the local freight
yards. The ouartet was immediately
arrested by Night Officer Hart. Ques
tioning the prisoners, the officers and
train crew drew out the story of the
shooting.
Clothes Blood-stained.
Harry Allen of Kansas City and
Coun'-il Oliver of Norfolk. Va., were
the names and addresses given by the
negroes captured last night. Oliver's
right shoe and his overalls were
blood covered and it Is thought that
he may have assisted in throwing the
body of the brakeman from the train
He says, however, that the blood was
smeared on him as he crowded be
tween the sides of the car and' the
boilers with which the gondola was
loaded. Allen claims that Mayes was
collecting fares of 60 cents each from
the trespassers on. threat of making
them iumo from the moving train. He
declares that he had paidi for himself
and another negro and was proffer
ing a fare for a third, when the black
called "Little Ole," who had no money
drew his gun and fired it into the
brakeman'e mouth.
Pieces of silver found on the floor
of the car tally with his story. When
the train slowed down for Hood
River, according to Allen's story, Ole
urged all the blacks te join him and
flee to the mountains. The white
boys were in another car. They state
that they heard the shooting but did
not see Ole fire the fatal shot.
Body Is Found.
Accompanied by Dr. J. W. Sifton
local physician, and the stranger, who.
gave the alarm that led to the arres
of the boys, the train crew and offi
cere ran a locomotive and caboose
lowly over the track between here
and The Dalles in search of the body.
It was first sighted near Chatfield
siding, just east of Mosier, by Hugh
G. Ball, local newspaper man, as he
stood on the steps of the caboose.
The white boys, all the negroes and
the stranger will be held at The
Dalles as witnesses.
Both Sheriff Chrisman and Sheriff
Johnson of this county were in Port
land this morning. City Marshal
Krazler took charge of the local end
of the case. He was arranging for
having bloodhounds brought from
Salem by automobile when motorists
arriving from the upper valley re
ported sighting the blacks near Mount
Hood, 20 miles from the city. lmme
diately on the arrival of Sheriff
Chrisman a posse was rushed to the
tipper valley in automobiles.
31 rs. Mayes Goes to The Dalles.
Otis Mayes made his home at 122
Craham avenue with his wife. Mrs.
Mayes was notified of the death of
her husband by railroad officials yes
terday and left immediately for The
Dalles. He is also survived by a sis
ter. Mrs. T. Vaughn of this city,
gested that they might as well atop
and wait foe Syria temple to pass
them, whereupon they could fall in.
. As they stopped there under the
arch. Spilker in his own dress suit
and Shaffer's vest, and Shaffer in
his own dress suit and vest, they were
veritably the glass of fashion and
the mold of form. And moreover,
mightily ' distinguished looking men.
The head of the parade swung
around the corner at Sixth and Morri
son and moved on down the street to
the arch. Chief of Police Jenkins saw
these two distinguished Shriners
standing there, looked again, and
saluted. The policemen following him
saluted. The two grayely returned
the salutes.
Mayor Baker came along in bis big
car. saw these nobles at their port.
and saluted them. The nobles of Al
ader temple saluted as their long
contingent passed. Along came Gov
ernor Olcott, marching with Al Kader.
He, too, saluted. Spilker and Shaf
fer returned all salutes.
So ft went all through the parade.
Syria temple was a long, long way
back in the line, and a long, long
time In coming. Spilker and Shaffer
stood by the arch and returned salute
after salute. Kven some of the
dignified bandmasters in bearskin
shakos, seeing them there, gravely
saluted. . When a bandmaster salutes
It's because he sees someone he
thinks is worth saluting. Spilker and
Shaffer accepted all these honors
modestly; and returned the salutes.
As a matter of fact, they never did
get to march with Syria temple. (tev
about two and a half hours of the
parade had passed, they saw some
friends in Algeria temple and fell In
with them. But before they fell In,
they had decided that It is always
well to go to a Shrine convention
minus at lease one dress vest.
DANIELS INSPECTS BASE
Kotarians Told TT. S.. Must Provide
Great Xavy.
PAN DIEGO, CaU June 34. The
United States must continue provid
ing for its navy sad keep it great,
said Josephus Daniels, secretary of
the navy, in an address te the Rotary
club teday. The secretary's speech
was part of a programme which kept
him busy all day.
Much of his time was devoted te
inspection of the great marine base,
on which work ie proceeding fast, of
sites for the navy hospital and train
ing station to be built here and of
the naval air station on North island.
In his talk to the Rotary club, Sec
retary Daniels said:
"We must provide a great nvy.
We must work together to that end.
Whatever else we may disagree upon,
we must neyer go back to the days
when to transport American goods
we had to call on the ships of for
eign, countries." The marine bar
racks to be built there, Secretary
Daniels said, would be the finest in
America..

PARENTS FIGHT FQR BODY
Fouliar Point of Law Kai&ed in
Court Action.
A legal battle between two di
vorced parents to obtain the body of
their dead son yesterday raised a pe
culiar point of law whea the father
filed a demurrer, claiming that the
dead son is not now personal prop
erty, but real .property. The mother,
Mrs. Harriet Billups. -not long ago
filed a complaint in which she sought
to obtain the body interred in River
view' cmetry by the father l!"t Jan
uary while she was ill. The defend
ant la the case of George A. Rail,
father of the late Delmar Rail, who
died in the navy. .
Rail and Mrs. Billups had been di
vorced since 1901 and Mrs. Billups
In 1H8 had definitely received the
custody of the child, then IS years old.
Rail's attorneys said he would carry
the question of ownership of the body
into the supreme court if necessary.
About 300.000,'mines and their ac
cessories were produced during the
war, and of these 130,000 were laid by

EQUAL RATES ADVOCATED
Eugcna Man Represents Western
Lumbermen at Hearing.
. WASHINGTON. June 24. Equali
zation of railroad passenger fares
with freight rates In order that the
burden may be distributed among all
classes of the public was urged before
the . interstate commerce commission
today by A. C. Dixon of Eugene. Or.,
representing the West Coast Lumber
men's association.
Western lumbermen, Mr. Dixon as-J
serted. oblected to the increase of 24
per cent in rstes asked by the read
of that territory and opposed any "
vances on a percentage basis. VaU'a
tion of the roads on the basis of their
property Investment accounts is inad
visable, he said, i '
Further rate increases on lumber
would have the opposite effect from
what is desired by the carriers, Mr.
Dixon told the commission, because
many mills would be forced out "
business and there would be less traf
fic resulting in less revenue rather
than in the larger returns sought by
the roads.

Slirlners and Committees Grateful
to AH Contributing to Great
Success of Convention.
Co-operation ef Portland citizens In
entertaining the nobles of the Mystfe

have ever before been entertained, is I
deeply appreciated By mose who. had
charge of the great three-day prer
gramme, according to announcement
made yesterday by Mayor Baker. The
mayor s expression of appreciation
follows:
'To the public: Pertland people
have done many big things, but never
before have they co-operated so gen
erally and so generously as they did
during the past week In making the
Shrine convention a success. Because
it is impossible to extend thanks In
dividually to .all these who are en
titled to thanks, I take this means, of
expressing the gratitude felt by the
Shriners and the various committees I
in charge of arrangements to all who
contributed to the reception and en-
tertainment. It has demonstrated to
the world that Portland and Oregon
are make up of live wires, who put I
the finaj finishing coat of brown on

"Only by the generous co-operation
of the entire public was it possible
for Portland to send her thousands of
visitors . away thoroughly satisfied
with their treatment, their entertain
ment and our country. And Portland
has 'been well repaid by being pie.
sented with a wonderful performance
by the visitors.
So again in behalf of those who had
the responsibility of the reception
and entertainment, I extend sincere
thanks to every man, woman and
child who contributed time or effort
n any one of the thousand activities
necessary and it gives me great pleas
ure to say that this takes in abeut 1
every man, woman and child in the
city of Portland. .

Shriners Poach on Honor
Through Lack of Vest.
Too Late for Parade, Syrians Take
Mend by Arch and Are Mis
taken for Dignitaries by Dignitaries.
THIS is the tale of how almost the
entire line of the Shriners' big
night parade Wecfnesday came to pass
in review before two nobles of Syria
temple, Pittsburgh. Fa., and of how
they received more adulation and
salutes tian would ordinarily befall
anyone short of an imperial potentate.
It happened because Harry P,
Ppilker couldn't find a white vest. He
and L,Ioyd L. Shaffer were "dolling
up'' in their dress suits preparatory
te falling In with Syria temple when
Spilker discovered the calamity. The
vest wasn't in his grip, it wasn't in
his trunk. It wasn't to be found, that
was all.
"Great Scott!" said Spilker 0 Shaf
fer. "I can't march with the boys
like this. Now where the dickens
that vest, anyway?'
Shaffer was sympathetic and joined
In the search. It was useless. They
couldn'tfind the vest.
"Well," said Shaffer. "I ll lend -you
mine." And he did. Somewhere h
dug up an extra waistcoat for him
self and Spilker proceeded to don th
Shaffer garment.- It fit all right ex
cept in one particular. It .was rathe
loose amidship. However, he com
forted himself that it was a good
banquet vest, being made to allow
plenty of room for dinner, an
presently he and Shaffer were ready"
They set out to find Syria temple
Ttie hunt for the vest, however, ha
taken a lot of time. The result wa
that Syria temple had marched on to
form for the narade and thev'eouMn

About the Hair.
He says baldness is increasing rap
idly among men and points eut some
of the reasons. Prof. Austin is prob
ably right in eaying that only about
one man in every hundred ever thinks
about his hair at all, except to comb
it two or three times a day. If it falls
out he looks anxiously at the falling
hair and then promptly forgets it
until the next time he uses a comb.
A man will give the utmost atten
tion to his tioth, because he knows
that when trouble arises he will have
more trouble and probably lose hiB
teeth if he doesn't go to a dentist
promptly. But his hair doesn't aohe
It Just gradually dies, and wnen It is
nearly gone and the roots are dead

remedies at once and then resigns
himself to baldness-
Prof. Austin says the use of dan

tonics is Hka taking: medicine -with
out knowing what you are trying to
cure. The particular trouble with which
your scalp is mffllcted must be known
