That Ihr statement of !l. W. Price,
at the rciM-nt final mot-tinK of Major
I;ik(-r's rommitlco to invpatipale ren
tals, to the cfffct that Herbert Gor
don, now a candidate- for mayor and a
member of the committee, had advised
iipartnirnt house owners not to give
out information relative to their in
comes, is h f;i Ise hood and f urt her
that Ma or R:ik-r is insincere in his
r-nt investigations, was the declara
tion of M r. Jordon last n irht.
"In Tefcrrnee to the charges made
by K. W. Price that I had advised
the apartment house owners not to
Kive information as to the income of
their business.' said Mr. Gordon. "I
wish to state that this is an absolute
falsehood. I have requested Mr.
Trice 10 trive mc the names of people
who made this statement and he has
failed to do so. After servint? on
this committee for a number of
months I have fully made up my
mind that Mayor Baker was abso
lutely insincere in his statements to
the public that he could adjust the
rental situation for the benefit of the
tenant.
I. a Roche Opinion I Cited.
'City Attorney Ia Roche has given
a written opinion that the committee
has no power to regulate rents and
yet Mr. Baker, in an article on Sun
day. October 10, among his many ac
complishments set out that he ex
pected to continue the investigation
of rents. Tt is the opinion of the en-
eommittee that we have exhaust
d all our resources in this line. J
feel it was the duty of the mayor to
correct any impression that I nad
blocked the operations of the com
mittee, because I have at all times
worked in accord wilh other members
of the committee and showed a de
sire by my actions to gri v all
necessary information in regard to
rc?it a I pi opcrty which I handled my
self." In support of his position Mr. Gor
don also presented statements by two
members of the committee and an
affidavit by K. W. German, president
of 1 he Portland Realty board, in
which Mr. German declared that Mr.
I'rice had told him. at the time the
rental in vest iga tlon was begun by
the committee, that: "I know all
bout it. Tt has been tipped off to
mo and I have today raised the rent
on every room in the Mallory hotel,
and I don't care now what they do."
Texixie Ma ken Statement.
A. la. Vcazie, a member of the rent
committee, made the following state
ment in a letter to Mr. Gordon:
I have been a fellow member with
you for the last five months on the
mayor's committee investigating the
rent situation in Portland, and I heard
with ast onlshment the charges that
wore made against you last Wednes
day to the effect that you had ad
vised owners of apartment houses to
refuse statements of their business to
the committee and to take advantage
of the times to raise their rent. These
charges were general in character, no
names being specified, and their truth
was vigorously denied by you. I can
say in your behalf that your course of
action in the meetings of the com
mittee has not evidenced any disposi
tion on your part to obstruct in the
least the course of the investigations,
which were undertaken, but, on the
contrary, you have freely declared
your opinion that apartment-house
owners ought to lay all the facts be
fore the committee as a representa
tive of the public interest.

BEN SELLING
Leading Clothier Morrison at Fourth
another member of the committee,
also vigorously upheld Mr. Gordon, as
follows:
"At all times in my life I have been
a strong advocate of fair play and
have stood on the defensive for one
whom I know is being dealt with un
fairly, and my defense of Mr. Gordon
is no exception to the rule, for 1 feel
he is being unfairly criticised over
the stand he took in the rental com
mittee. Having been privileged to
sit in that committee. I can safely
state a few facte. Mr. Gordon at all
times declared the owners of apartment-houses
should throw open their
books and he stated he was perfectly
willing that his books be examined.
He also said the committee should
first decide what should be a reason
able rate of rent to be allowed be
fore declaring who was profiteering.
Now is that not fair? He went to the
pains of submitting to the committee
a list, furnished by the realty board,
of fair rates of rent on houses. There
was never a time when Mayor Baker
or the committee objected to any of
the things Mr. Gordon would suggest,
though the committee never'took any
action.
"I feel that Mr. Gordon was in no
wise responsible for the committee
railing to function, for he was always
present and endeavored to do all in
his power to help the committee, all
of which is my reason for supporting
Mr. Gordon, for up to the time the
committee was formed I was a stran
ger to Mr. Gordon, and rather preju
diced against him because he owned
apartments, but his constructiveness
and ability proved to me he was a
worthy man with excellent executive
ability."

PflSQUflLE IS SLAYER OF 2
COUGH LIN" BABY MYSTERY IS
SOLVED BY CONCESSION".
Kidnaper Is Alleged to Hare Con
fessed Murder of Woman In
Philadelphia Also.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 12. By the
alleged confession of August Pas
quale, the "crank," the mystery sur
rounding the kidnaping of 13-months-old
Blakely Coughlin. stolen from his
parents' home at Norristown last
June, has been solved, according to
officials.
Pasquale also Is alleged to have
confessed to the murder of a woman
in Philadelphia, which local police be
lieve clears up the mystery surround
ing the killing last June of Mrs. Rose
Asherman, who conducted a rooming
house.
Pasquale's latest story, as given out
by the police, was that after stealing
the child h accidentally smothered it
under his coat and threw the body
into the Schuylkill river near by.
This was substantiated today, the au
thorities said, by the finding of a
piece of steel rail and a string at the
spot in the river pointed out by him.
Pasquale said he tied a piece of rail
to the body before casting it into the
water.
Today the prisoner, who has been
locked up in the Montgomery county
jail since his capture, August 2. led
Captain Gerhardt of the state police
and a diver to the place where he said
he threw the body. The diver brought
to the surface the rail with the string
attached, as described by Pasquale.
In Pasquale's alleged confession to
the murder of a woman here, believed
to have been Mrs. Rose Asherman,
the mystery of whose death ' two
nights before the Coughlin kidnaping
has never been solved, he is quoted as
having said he killed a woman about
60 years old at a rooming house the
latter part of May or the first of June.
For two weeks, he said, he had a
room at the house and left. He went
back for robbery, and, finding the
woman had not retired, he hid him
self in a closet and waited for her to
go to bed. In opening the closet door
the woman was awakened and he
killed her. He said he had taken
"around $300."
Mrs. Asherman, who conducted a
rooming house at the address given
by Pasquale, was found dead in bed
with her skull fractured on June 1.
Captain Gerhardt also said that
Pasquale had taken him to the spot
where the prisoner told him he had
endeavored to burn the toaby's cloth
ing. It was about BO yards up the
river bank from where the diver
found the rail and string. Evidences
of the fire still were plainly visible,
Gerhardt said.

Lives to See the Prescription
He Wrote in 1892 the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative Remedy
,-Ul:k n,lrf-1i l -in- f- '
DR. W. B. CALDWELL TODAY
Born Shelbyville. Mo.. March 27. 1839
Began the manufacture of his tamoua
preicrlpUon In 18S2
Founder of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the largest
selling liquid laxative in the world, long past
Biblical old age, but hale and hearty Still
sees patients daily Wonderful achieve
ment of a "country doctor." -
T THEN I started to practice medicine, back in 1875,
there were no pills or tablets or salt waters for
the relief of constipation, and no artificial
remedies made from coal tar. i
The prescription for constipation that I used early in
my practice, and which I put in drug stores in 1892 un
der the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
remedy, and I have never had reason to change it I
intended it for women, children and elderly people, and
these need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stim
ulant as Syrup Pepsin.
I am gratified to say that under successful management my
prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling
liquid laxative in the world. The fact that over eight miUion
bottles were sold by druggists last year proves that it has won
the confidence of mothers whose chief interest is the health
of their children.
It is particularly pleasing to me to know that
the biggest half of those eight million bottles were
bought by mothers for themselves and the chil
dren, though Syrup Pepsin is just as valuable for
grownups. The price of a bottle holding 50 aver
age treatments is sixty cents; such a bottle will
last a family several months.
I have never made a secret of what is in Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a compound of
Egyptian Senna and other simple laxative herbs
with pepsin and pleasant-tasting aromatics.
These ingredients are endorsed in the U. S.
Pharmacopoeia. I consider Syrup Pepsin today
in the serious 82nd year of my age, as I did in
1892. the best remedy a family can have in the
house for the safe relief of constipation and its
accompanying ills, such as headaches, bilious
ness, flatulence, indigestion, loss of appetite
and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and
fevers.
Millions of families are now never without Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and I believe if you
will once start using it you will also always have
a bottle handy for emergencies.
J Yt. I T Send me your name and address and I u.i'3 send you a free trial bottle of my Syrup Pepsin.
Frj Address me Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 513 Washington Street, Monticello, Illinois. Everybody notu
4 and then needs a laxative, and it is well to know the best. Write me today.
