MRS.SNYDER WILL
IB1IE FOR HOME
Widow of Murdered Glencoe
Man to Start Today for
Kansas City.
MYSTERY YET UNSOLVED
ihe Says District Attorney Is Doing
Nothing to Apprehend Murderer.
Believes George r Perry and
Companion Guilty.
Notwithstanding the threat o Harrison
Allen, the District Attorney, that he -will
bring her back if she leaves before the
Inquisition into the Snyder murder case
has been concluded. Mrs. Madge Snyder,
widow of the late Carey M. Snyder, of
Glencoe, Washington Count-, will leave
Portland this morning for the East. At
least this is what she stated last night,
when she said she was packing her trunk
to catch the morning train. She declared
that she is disgusted with the dilatory
methods of the Washington County offi
cial. Snyder's body was found three weeks
ago in the brush near Hillsboro. with a
bullet-hole in the skull. He disappeared
last December, a few days after the For
est Grove bank was rohbed of $6000 in
cash.
"I won't stay here any longer, and I
am sick and tired of heing questioned
when absolutely no good comes of ir."
Mrs. Snyder declared last night, at the
Hotel Portland.
Mrs Snyder stamped her pretty foot to
give emphasis to her words, and appeared
to be greatly incensed with District At
torney Allen and the others who have
been probing into the Snyder case.
"Mr. Allen has told me that If I leave
he will most assuredly bring me back to
Oregon." she continued, the flush of an
ger rising to her cheeks. "Well, just let
Jiim do it then. If he wants me after to
morrow morning he will ha.ve to go to
the East to get me. as I do not intend
to remain in Portland any longer than It
takes me to pack and catch an outgoing
train.
"Why should I st3y here? I have toll
them all I know, and all I intend to ten,
and they can get nothing more from me.
I am not holding back anything, but they
are determined to make me say some
thing which I do not believe and know
not to be true. But they appear not to
believe me. and Iceep urging me to tell a
falsehood, as it would be nothing less if
I should."
Testify as They Want Me To.
"Mr. Allen has attempted to have me
make fut a statement to the effect that
my husband was implicated in the Forest
Grove bank robbery. He had nothing to
do with that robbery and I am not going
to say that he did. do what they may.
They declare that if I do not tell them
that Carey had a hand in the robbery
that they can do nothing with George
Perry.
"I believe that Perry and his companion
made the haul and that he took part in
the murder of my husband. I have tried
to convince Mr. Allen of this and have
attempted to persuade him to bring Perry
back to Oregon to answer for his crimes.
But Mr. Allen persists In declaring that he
can do nothing with him until I will say
that Carey took part in the bank rob
bery. I should very much like" to know
why Perry is left unmolested. He is the
man who can tell all and yet he is left
alone. I have wasted too much time here
already, as no good has come of it and I
am off for Kansas City in the morning,
unless they stop me."
District Attorney Allen held a consul
tation with Mrs. Snyder yesterday after
noon, when they threshed over the
ground for two hours. When it was
over Mrs Snyder stated that the mis
understanding that has arisen was as un
satisfactory as ever and that matters
stood just as they were before. It is
undftrstood that the authorities believe
that Mrs. Snyder is withholding informa
tion which would lead to the apprehen
sion of the guilty parties and want to
keep her here until she tells all she
know.
Detective A. G. Vaughn served papers
on Mrs. Snyder, yesterday, requiring her
to appear before Circuit Judge McBride
at Hillsboro tomorrow. Detective Vaughn
said late last night that steps will be
taken to arrest Mrs. Snyder if she at
tempts to leave Portland for the East
today.

cause of ill health. It was drunk with a
will, because all present had prospered
from his genius as an organizer
The legality, probable stability and aim
of the association were then presented by
Ualph W. Wilbur, in the address of the
evening He is a lawyer, and treated it
from the standpoint of law. He
Mid in part: "There are a great
many associations of this character
here and all over the United States, and
the question of their legality is constantly
being brought into litigation. We had an
example of that kind here in the City Re
tail Lumbermen's Association, which was
forced down and out by the court decision
that it was operating In restraint to Inter
state commerce, and therefore illegal.
"It was illegal, but I believe there are
many associations here now that are
sound. The test as to whether they are
legally sound is. Are they morally sound?
They must be formed to protect legiti
mate business. When they have an hon
est, legitimate object, they are not against
the law.
"I have here "a Supreme Court decision
by Justice Peckham on a case that dupli
cates the situation of the Franklin As
sociation. It was when the Traders'
Livestock Exchange of Kansas City was
accused , of violating the interstate com
merce act. Justice Peckham held it was
not illegal."
"It you can't be frank, don't associate"
was the toast assigned to William Moul

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
t
t If newspapers ceased to print advertising for six
t months, the country would be involved in
i worst panic in its history . ' ' . '
The following article, clipped from the October Issue of "Advertising
Agent," New Tork, will prove of great interest to all general advertisers:
DR. PRICE'S EXPERIENCES.
The man who has made Dr. Price's Cream. Cream Powder. Dr. Price's
Delicious Flavoring Extracts, and Dr. Price's Wheat Flake Celery Food fa
mous through adi-ertising Is certainly worth listening to byevery adver
tising agent. This is what he says:
"Years ago." he says, "when I first produced my baking powder, I start
ed in and spent every available dollar In advertising in the newspapers. Re
sults were satisfactory. Month by month my output increased my advertis
ing expenditure. Every dollar I could spare from purchasing material and
running the factory, I put into publicity, for I perceived that advertising
was "the magic that made the wheels go round.'
"If all the newspapers in the United States ceased to print advertise- .
ments for six months, the country would be involved in the biggest panic
ever known, because the sale of manufactured products would shrink so
enormously.
"I finally discovered." he affirms, "that magazine advertising was' un-.
profitable. It did not move my goods out of the stores quickly enough. I
figured very closely upon it, and eventually decided it was a load which
had to be carried by the profits of my newspaper advertising. Thereupon I
abandoned it altogether, and have never used it since.
"In the magazines," he continues, "I found that I could only tell my
story once a month or twelve times a. year, whereas in the great National
newspapers (like the Chicago Tribune and the New Tork Herald) I could
talk every day to many millions of the very best possible class of consum
ers, and keep their interest alive to the purchasing point. After that, my
goods had to prove by their own intrinsic merit that my advertisements told
the exact truth for advertising, to b6 successful, must be truthful above
all things."

FIGHTS IN POLICE STATION
J. M. Rieg Strikes His Brother-in-Law
While Under Arrest.
A fight at the Schiller cigar stand
on Fourth and Washington streets was
stopped by Deputy Sheriff Harry Bul
ger last night after the corner was
crowded with a throng of curious spec
tators. J. M. Rieg, a business man of
this city, is alleged to have struck E.
L. Hoopengarner, his brother-in-law,
as the result of a family row.
Bulger brought Rieg to the police
station and while the accused was
standing before Captain Slover he sud
denly made a dash for his brother-in-law,
who was standing nearby, and
landed three terrific blows on his face.
He was restrained by the officers and
held. Captain Slover became greatly
incensed at Rieg and told him he
would place a separate charge against
him for being disorderly. After being
refused bail by the captain, Rieg man
aged to free himself from the officers
who held him and again jumped at
Hoopengarner. He was again re
strained. His brother-in-law placed a
complaint against him and Captain Slo
ver added another one.
After Captain Bruin communicated
with Judge Cameron, Rieg was al
lowed to produce bail. Rieg gave his
personal check for $50 and will ap
pear in court Monday morning.
ASK TAFT TO COME HERE
Portland Commercial Organizations

ganizations of Portland will extend
similar invitations, in hopes of induc
ing him to extend his Western trip.
When Secretary Taft made a trip to
the Philippines an effort was made to
bring him to Portland, but he was un
able to make arrangements to come

10 BADLY BEATEN
Strikebreakers Assaulted on
Stark-Street Wharf.
POLICE COME TOO LATE
Attackers Flee at Sight of Bluecoats,
but Ringleaders Are . Recognized
and Warrants Issued for
Their' Arrest.
A .riot that became so serious that &
large squad of uniformed and plain
clothes officers were called from police
headquarters, took place on the wharf
at the foot of Stark street at 7:30 o'clock
last evening. A band of alleged striking
longshoremen, said to have. been led by
Tom Coleman, an ex-policeman, and
John Schoefer, attacked a contingent of
14- strikebreakers, and several were in
jured. No arrests were made, as the
assailants had all escaped by the time
the police reached the scene, but it was
stated at police headquarters last even
ing that an attempt will be made to se
cure warrants for the arrest of ex-Policeman
Tom Coleman and Schoefer, the
alleged leaders of the assault upon the
nonunion workmen.
Arthur Hudson, a young man who has
been a student at the Washington State
Agricultural College at Pullman, and
A. H. Vaver, of St. Johns, were severaly
injured in the riot. They were escorted
to police headquarters after the melee,
where their bruises were attended.
Word had been telephoned to Captain
of Police Slover that the launch Im
perial, in the service of the exporters,
would reach the dock at the foot of Stark
street about 7:30. and an effort was made
to form a squad of policemen to send
there, as trouble was feared. Owing to
the lack of patrolmen for reserve duty, it
required considerable time to secure offi
cers, as it was necessary to call men in
from various beats.
The launch Imperial, with its crew and
14 strike breakers from Montgomery Dock
No. 2. reached the Stark street wharf at
7:30 sharp, and found no policemen there.
The nonunion men ventured ashore, and
had walked up to within a few feet of
Front street, when, it is said, strikers
and their friends appeared from all sides
and at once made an attack.
With the onrush of the attacking
party, several of the nonunion men ran
back to the launch for safety, others es
caped to the street with slight bruises,
but Hudson and Vaver were felled to
the ground and claim they were beaten
and even kicked. Hudson declares he was
picked up bodily by several men after he
had been beaten and kicked, and thrown
with great force against a pile of iron.
At this stage of the riot, uniformed po
licemen appeared at the corner of Sec
ond and Stark streets two blocks dis
tantand the attacking party scattered in
all directions.
A number of assaults have occurred
since the grainhandlers' strike was de
clared, and rumors of other slugging
matches have been heard. Thus far no
REST
While Ton Work.
That sounds paradoxical, but the rea
soning is correct.
Rest signifies "comfort" and there's
comfort in working with a clear brain,
steady nerves, possessed of the conscious
power to "do things" and still have a
lot of thought and energy stored up for
more work
To be in fashion nowadays, one must be
able to do something well that requires
strenuous activity and correctly tnought
out plans.
The "gentlemen of leisure" belong to a
former era not in demand in this coun
try at the present time. The modern
gentleman is a. "doer" not a mere
"looker-on."
Individuals differ in their ability to plan
and execute, but human energy is largely
derived from food. And that food is best
which supplies all the requirements with
the least expenditure of bodily (digestive)
effort to convert it into action.
Grapt-Nuts, the product of a food ex
pert's experiments and practical appli
cation during many years, contains the
nitrogenous elements of field grains
(wheat and barley) that repair tissue
waste. This waste is greater or less in
accordance with the activity of the in
dividual. '
It contains also the carbohydrates, or
starch element (changed in making
Grape-Nuts, into soluble sugar for ab
sorption into the blood stream) which the
vital forces convert into energy.
It contains, also, the highly important
phosphate of potash which the system
elaborates, by combining with albumen,
into the delicate gray matter of brain and
nerve centres Where Grape-Nuts forms
the basis of fooc the digestive .or
gans do their work easily and naturally,
converting food into stored up energy and
keeping the tissues in perfect repair then
they rest, while this energy is at the
command of the indi-idual to work with
in comfort the rest of wholesome
activity. Then does the work count.

ALL MUST STAND TRIAL
Court Overrules Demurrers in Sell
wood Election-Fraud Cases.
Presiding Judge Sears yesterday over
ruled the demurrers that had been filed
to the complaints against 13 men charged
with unlawfully swearing in voters,
subornation of perjury and other irregu
larities in connection with the recent
election In Sellwood Precinct. The result
of Judge Sears' decision is that the men
will have to stand trial. Those affected
are : - G. Plass. A. E. French, B. F. Boyn
ton, F. C. Holland. H. F. LaBrecque,
A. R. Dimick. T. R. Baldwin, W. P.
Jacks. J. W. Reed. Merton Bell. John
Schneider. O. W. Osen and Alfred Drill.
Every defense known has been resorted
to to seek to delay the trials, but the
ruling of Judge Sears stops technicalities
and the cases will no doubt be tried be
fore January L Attorney George F. Mar
tin requested that the defendants be al
lowed Tintll next Tuesday to plead, and
this motion was allowed. It is thought
that at that time the cases will be set
for trial. In handing down his decisions
on the demurrers, which were argued be
fore the court some three weeks ago.
Judge Sears said:
If it should be essential that these affidavits
should be sufficient to Justify the judges of
election in allowing the voter to vote, general
ly it might be questionable whether the etate
ment that he resided in Oregon would be
sufficient. The great weight of authority sus
tains the position that if any material state
ment is eet forth in the affidavit upon which
the tribunal shall act, which is untrue and
knowingly untrue, it is sufficient to base an
indictment for perlury.
It is the rule, very generally and largely
upheld by the courts, that the prosecuttn is
founded upon the abuae of public juaxice. It
certainly is one material circumstance in this
case that the freeholders should be acquainted
with the elector, and the affirmation is made
as to the falsity in this regard. I believe the
Indictments are good, and the demurrers will
be overruled.
On motion of ' Attorney Martin, of counsel
for the defendants, next Tuesday was eet as
the day for pleading to the indictments. At
that time the cases probably will be set for
trial.
GUILD ASKS DONATIONS
Preparing for Annual . Distribution
of Clothing Among the Poor.
The Portland branch of the Needle
work Guild of America is in busy
preparation for its annual distribution
of clothing among the charitable or
ganizations of the city, and the presi
dent asks that members send in their
contributions without delay in order to
avoid the congestion and heavy work
resultant upon late deliveries. The
charities of Portland have come to" de
pend almost entirely upon the Guild
for supplies, and the fact that it is the
medium of distribution, which obviates
promiscuous soliciting and begging
from merchants and individuals, is be
ing generally recognized.
Only clothing and supplies ' in
good repair are handled. In addition
to wearing apparel, such articles as
bedding, towels, shoes, hats and caps,
are welcomed as contributions, the
many societies dispensing charity
finding use for all these articles among
the poor of the city.
There has been so much complaint
by merchants of the constant appeals
made to them by the different char
ities of Portland that the Needlework
Guild wishes to call particular atten
tion to the 'fact that it is a practical
distributing center, and if the mer
chants will form a chapter or become
ordinary members which involves the
pledge of a few articles per annum
the solicitations of individual organ
izations will be done away with.

DEDICATES ITS CITY HALL
Town of Milwaukie Celebrates Open
ing of Municipal Structure.
Milwaukie's new city building was dedi
cated last evening in the presence of a
large audience of residents. The hall on
the second floor had been decorated with
the National colors and autumn leaves,
while two large flags were suspended
from the front. The entire building was
illuminated with electric lights, down
and upstairs, and before the exercises
the people inspected the rooms.
Mayor William Shindler presided, and
with him on the platform were members
of the Council, County Judge Grant B.
Dimick. Senator G. C. Brdwnell and other
citizens. The Milwaukie band was pres?
ent to furnish music, and after the open
ing selection Mayor Shindler made in
troductory remarks. He announced that
as far as finished the city building had
been paid for leaving no debt, and that
the intention was to complete the build
ing as soon as money was on hand so
the work could go forward without im
posir any burden upon the people.
Senator Brownell . and Judge Dimick
spoke briefly. The rest of the evening
was spent in dancing.
The hall will probably be finished next
year. The building is 40x90 feet. It will
house the Council and fire department
and provide a fine ball for public func
tions. So far it has cost the taxpayers
nothing and it will be completed without
any burden to them. Its total cost will
be about $4000.
FATHER'S STRANGE ACT.
Fights With Police for Possession of
Babe in Arms.
With an infant clasped in his arms, W.
L. Barzee attempted to board a trolley
car at Grand avenue and East Pine street
for his home in St. Johns yesterday after
noon, but was so drunk that he jammed
the baby's head against the railing, caus
ing it to cry in pain. He nearly smoth
ered it to death by stopping its mouth
with his hand, to hush its cries, and as
a result he was arrested by Policeman
Anundson.
Barzee was angered at his arrest and
put up a hard fight. He would not allow
the police to take his baby from him.
When they tried to secure the infant he
would clasp it so tightly to his breast
that they could not wrest it from . him
without injuring it.
The sensational scene attracted much
attention on the street until the arrival
of a patrol wagon from police headquar
ters. Barzee was taken to the City Jail,
where several policemen tried to persuade
him to give up the baby, but he refused
to do so, and was forced to sit behind the
railing of the captain's desk until two
friends came to his rescue and took him
home, infant, "jag" and all.

Last January the new Conservatory
building on the campus of the Washing
ton State College at Pullman, was com
pleted. A few weeks later, the contract
was awarded the Eilers Piano House to
equip the building, consisting of 23 rooms,
IS practice rooms and five teaching rooms,
with pianos. Among the Instruments pur
chased at that time was a style L.
Hobart M. Cable, which has since been
used in. the studio of Miss Trainor, first
assistant teacher of piano. A few days
ago we received a long distance phone
from Professor Kimbrough. director of
the piano department of the college, re
questing us to ship three more Hobart
M. Cables of the same style as the one
previously purchased. Three members ot
the faculty of the college have Hobart M.
Cable pianos in their homes.
The Idaho university of Moscow lost
seven very fine pianos in the burning of
its administration building last Spring.
The work of the institution, so far as
the musical department was concerned,
under the directorship of Professor I. J.
Cbgswell, moved along almost uninter
ruptedly, the Eilers Piano House having
come to the rescue with four pianos
wtucn were snipped to tne university ana
used by them during the remainder of the
school year without compensation or even
so much as expense for transportation
of the instruments. Among the pianos
furnished at that time, was one Hobart
M. Cable. Last month, the board of
regents authorized the purchase of four
pianos and upon the advice of''Profdesor
Cogswell, four Hobart M. Cables were
selected.
There are over 300 Hobart M. Cable
pianos in use in the Inland Empire at
present and the instrument is gaining
popularity and musical favor daily.
The Hobart M. Cable piano is purchased
by discriminating persons who fail to
distinguish any difference In quality be
tween it and the best of instruments
quoted elsewhere at $100 to $150 more.
And why we are selling more, and where
the rub is. is that there is no difference.

"What's the use of eatin". anyhow?

I've been eatin' three times a day, and

If I had it to do over again, though,
I would take care of my stomach, for
I . don't believe I ever really relished
a meal in my life, not even mother s
Christmas dinners, and I firmly believe
that my way of eating, or whatever it
was, brought along with it darkness

Ten Dollars
Per Front Foot
We will advance the prices of .University Park lots
from time to time until January 1, 1907, when the price of
our cheapest lots will be ten dollars per front foot. The
prospects for factories, mills, s"hops, wholesale, jobbing
and other business on the Peninsula, as soon as the rail
roads now under construction shall be completed, are suf
ficient to justify more than
St. Johns Prices
Prices of -lots in St. Johns advanced from $100 per lot
in 1901 to ten thousand dollars per lot in 1906. In 1901 we
stated in our advertisements just what would be the re
sult of investments made in St. Johns at that time. Men
who bought in St. Johns then and made money are again
following my advice by investing in University Park lots.
Believe Me Now
There are lots in University Park now selling for much
less than ten dollars per front foot that will sell within five
years from today for one hundred dollars per front foot.
Why Do
We are offering for sale
and reserve one-half for higher prices. Ey selling part
and permitting building to go on we calculate that the half
we hold will be worth more in five years than the whole
would be worth if we kept it
University Park
University Park is no outside wildcat speculation.
Every dollar-invested there is as safe as Government bonds
no chance to lose, but many for big gain. University
Park has been within the boundaries of Portland for 15
years, has city schools, two
Run water, electric car lines,
lumbia University, view of
mountain peaks, $25,000 monthly payroll. What more
could you ask for ten times the price?
Railroads
' Railroads alone made St. Paul, Minneapolis, Indianap
olis, Kansas City and Omaha, cities of 150,000 to 250,000
population. University Park is now having built into its
midst as many railroads as any one of the above-named
cities has,' and .besides has two navigable rivers open to
the commerce of the world.
Don't
Don't laugh when I tell you that you need not be sur
prised to see lots sell at University Park for $1000 per
front foot within ten years from now. Why not? The
Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific railroads four of the greatest
railroad systems in the world are now building into Uni
versity Park.
Brains
If you have either brains or whey in your cocoanut, you
certainly have intelligence enough to know that something
big will occur at University Park as soon as the bridges,
cuts, tunnels and railroads will be completed. Will you
wait for the packing-houses, mills, factories, railroad
shops and a thousand other things to come before you sit
up and take notice?
Prices and Terms -
Until November 1, 1906, prices will be seven dollars
per front foot. Ten per cent cash, balance $5 monthly,
without interest if all payments be paid on or before due.
