Mr. Rockefeller removed his cap at the request of a photographer. Ostensibly, a photograph of Mr. Rock efeller, capless, was dees'red. Actually, there was curiosity as to whether the famous toupee of Rockefeller Sr. might have been inherited. Though plentifully sprlnKled with gray, the crop of hair was full and bushy. Heredity failed to take the. count, however, the stamp of the oil baron being indelibly imprinted on the fea tures of his son. Magnate Almost Escapes. But even the Rockefeller features and golf stockings almost slipped by the sleuths of the press unnoticed. When the Rockefeller party stepped from their private car, Pioneer, which brought up the rear of the first section of train 16, nearly four hours late, a knot of Portland people Immediately surrounded a ehort, im portant looking man who fairly radiated big business and. finance. Reporters fought their way to his eiile, photographers snooped about toJCAX snap him undetected, and John i- Rockefeller Jr. walked calmly past the crowd, no one paying any atten tion to him, down the train sheds. His secretary had drawn the crowd A mad dash, and the reporters had surrounded the noted man. His af fected injury Rt the coolness of his reception immediately was allayed. "I'm looking for Mr. Kerr," he an nounced. James B. Kerr still was in the croup around the secretary, and the newspaper men persuaded Mr. Rocke feller to retrace his steps. Queries Artfully Dodged. Meanwhile valiant efforts were made to draw some comment from , the visitor concerning topics of pub lie interest. Politics? No, he was not Inter ested in politics, and did not care to express his opinion of any of the presidential candidates. Sociology? Well, that did Interest him to a great degree, but there was nothing concerning his work along social lines about which he cared to be Interviewed or had time to discuss. Automobile owners should not be alarmed. Mr. Rockefeller was quite positive that his visit had nothing whatever to do with gasoline short ages or prices, but was purely a pleasure trip. He was accompanied by Mrs. Rockefeller and their five sons. A tour of the Columbia river highway was made in the afternon. The party left for the north at 11 o'clock last night.

IvO- Concern's Knglnecrft hays Wide Stairways Could Empty Build ing: in Sixty Seconds. Difference of opinion over the matter of Including two fire escapes on the proposed new manufacturing plant of the American Can company on Twenty-sixth . street, between Howe and . Wilson avenue has brought all construction plans to a sudden halt and the entire matter of erecting the building, which it was expected to have under way by this time, is "up in the air," says C. G. Pries, construction engineer of the company. The company has even considered moving the plant to an other city, possibly Vancouver, it is understood. Although the city building code calls for four fire escapes on the building, according to Fire Marshall Grenfell. and the board of appeals. which has the power to alter the building code under certain cases, has ruled that two fire escapes will be sufficient, the American Can com pany considers that the structure should go up without any fire escaped at all. 'The building can be emptied in 60 seconds," declared Mr. Pries last night, "while the building code calls four and a quarter minutes. The plans of the building call for the con struction of five wide stairways, so built as to be protected from any fire and these stairways are amply adequate. In fact they have got the old out side fie escape beat a mile, and we can see no need of being put to the additional $1000 of expense." Mr. Pries also contended that the two fire escapes are not required by the building code, but that Fire Marshall Grenfell is insisting that they be included in the plans never theless. "The building code provides for a certain number of fire escapes and a certain number of stairways for each building. In proportion to its height and floor space," said Mr. Grenfell last night. "To comply with the building code, the American Can company plant should have four out side fire escapes. However, the mat ter was presented to the board of ap peals, and they decided that two would be sufficient. Under the circumstances it will bo necessary for the company to include two fire escapes in order to comply with the law. In insisting upon the two fire escapes I am doing nothing but enforcing the building code. Personally I believe two fire escapes to be necessary for the pro posed building and am glad that the board of appeals upheld me in this contention, when it ruled on the matter." flFFIPFR VInIT?

Plan to Make Managers of Three Primary Candidates Executive Committee Is Abandoned. Organization of the republican state central committee has been called for this morning at 10 o'clock i at a meeting in the Imperial hotel, j The first step toward carrying-Oregon for Harding and Coolidge will be the organization of the committee to day. Thomas H. Tongue Jr., who is the present state chairman, will prob ably be re-elected, as there appears to be no serious oi general opposition to his retaining party leadership. Clarence W. Hotchklss. former sec retary, is being mentioned for the secretaryship, and Walter L. Tooze Jr. is said to be a candidate. W. I. Harrison Is another who may be a contender. All these are former serv ice men. A report was current yes terday that the selection of a secre tary might be left to the executive committee. Another report .was to the effect that Mr. Tooze may not be a candidate, as he is said to have re ceived an offer to go on the stump for Harding and Coolidge in the east, working out of the national commit tee headquarters. . Two weeks ago a suggestion was made that the managers of the presi dential candidates in the Oregon pri mary election constitute the execu tive committee. These were Sanfield MacDonald, D. V. Walker, Joseph Dunne and O. C. Leiter. The idea back of the suggestion was tnat it wouia bring the closest harmony in the arty and each of the erstwhile man gers would be in position to contrib- te to the common cause the organi zations built up for the recent pri maries. The plan has now been aban- oned. Instead of selecting the executive committee from within the ranks of he state committee, it is now a possi bility that the executives will be picked from the outside. If this can- ot be done by law, such outsiders can be designated as an advisory com mittee, it was pointed out by com mitteemen. The committee plans to give special care to the selection of treasurer. Members newly elected to the state committee began drifting into Fort land yesterday afternoon, and by last night about half of the committee men were in the city viewing the sit uation.

HIS "LUCKY DAY," STATESCRAVFORD "I Never Felt Better in My Life," He Declares After Taking Tanlac.

"During- the past two years I have been sub.'ect to frequent spells of in digestion which were so severe as to almost l?y me out. My appetite left me, and ihe little I did force myself to eat bloated me up with sour gas and kept me feeling miserable for hours. I suffered with severe pai : in back and constant spells of dizzi ness, and was so restless I hardly knew what it was to get a good night's sleep. I lost weight all the time and got so weak and run down that I had hardly any life or energy left for anything. "I began taking Tanlac on the recommendation of a friend and it was a lucky day for me when I did, for my appetite began to improve at once and 1 got to feeling better in every way. I have now taken five bottles, and if I ever ftlt better In my life I don't know when it was. I eat like a wolf of just anything and everything I want and never have a touch of indigestion, and have built up rap'dy, both in weight and strength. I sleep like a log at night and wake up in the morning feeling brimful ot life and energy and more man icauj iur my aay s w o r K . tie- fore I got Tanlac my work was drag, but now I do it with ease a pleasure.
