Regents Condnctinfr Investigation
of Case Doused in Tub of Ice
Oold Water Till Insensible.
. Mind Becomes ln balanced.
Investigation begun by the Regents
of the University of Oregon of a haz
ing episode, the victim of which is the
son of prominent Portland people, re
veals a pitiful case. The youth, whose
name Is withheld pending: the conclu-
stons reached by the Regents, is now
confined in a private sanitarium under
' the care of specialists, a mental wreck.
' He was hazed December 17 last for
being: late at the evening meal In the
dormitory, his punishment being im
mersion in a bathtub of cold water.
The victim, who is 20 years old. Is
a graduate of the Lincoln High School,
Portland, and has always been an ath-
, lets, powerful alike In mind and body.
, But the experience which he nnder-
went last December is said completely
, to have subdued him mentally and phy
sically, and his case is extremely pa
thetic. His parents nnd the immedl-
ate members of the family have been
unnerved, and rendered virtually nerv
ous wrecks because of the agonizing
events .
The story of the hazing, as gathered
. from relatives and friends of the young
man. Is as follows:
After being graduated from the I.ln-
oln High School, ne entered the Vni-
versity of Oregon at Eugene as a fresh
' man and took up work enough to keep
; him busily engaged for 16 . hours a
i day. It Is said this strain was too
J severe for him. and kept him confined
' so closely to his books that he had
little time for recreation. He did not
participate ' to any extent. It Is said.
In the customary pranks and merry
; making: Indulged in by the students.
and because of this is said to hare
i Incurred the enmity of some of his
' classmates.
' ' Keep Aloof From Other Student.
AC the dormitory where he lived,
which accommodates '. boys, who make
their own rules as to the routine of
college life to a large extent, he is
' said to have been In some disfavor
with many because he held aloof more
or less from them, especially ss to
: Things aside from study. He Intimated
to his .relatives, it is said, that he felt
uneasy and nervous: that he feared
something was about to happen, and
' he 'wanted to return home some few
tlays before the hazing, but did not.
He had heard of the hazing of another
' Portland youth some time ago, it la said.
. the particular stunt In this case being an
Imitation of the Salome dance before the
girls' dormitory, and the fact that such a
thing had occurred seemed to cauea fear
: that he might also be compelled to pcr
' form some such act. His relatives even
. now are riot jet satisfied that he had not
i been hazed In some way other than being
' Immersed in cold water. They incline to
the belief that he was, although they
have little, upon which to base their opin-
Ions, except that he had intimated that
he feared something would befall him.
Thursday night. December IT, the young
man entered the dining-room and took
his seat at the table ten minutes late,
while the rule was that students must as
semble for the meal promptly . at
o'clock. Bnleh and clear the table by :3.
He entered at 6:10. ate his meal In 10
minutes, and started to leave the table
by 6:30, according to the information at
hand.
As ba arose to go. he was seized by
three students, but fought thsm ofT and
endeavored to ascend the stairs leading
from the dining-room to the floor above.
Two more of the number then joined the
first three, and together the five strug
gled with him up the etalrway. In the
, fierce fight that ensued the banisters were
. tore loose.
Plunged Into Ice-Cold Water.
' Thoroughly aroused, the 70 or more
youths leaped from the table and
shrieked loudly. It Is said. Finally the
young man was overpowered, dragged to
the 'bathroom and plunged Into Ice-cold
; water. , Here . he was submerged full
. length, his relatives declare, until he was
. unconscious.
When removed from- the tub. he failed
' to revive. Members of the faculty were
Called In. and the young man was put to
bed. where he. rested all night. Next day
he did not appear at his classes. He ex
plained to his teachers that he did not
feel able to withstand the ordeal.
It was noticeable to those who saw him
' that he was mentally unbalanced, at
least to a slight degree, and a friend of
the family telegraphed the parents the
, following Saturday to have him return
home. He refused to come, but arrange
ments were made to bring him here, and
. on Monday lie was brought down from
Eugene.
He was still mentally unbalanced and
refused to go home when he reached
Portland. His father, who brought him
back, took him to the T. M. C. A., of
which he had long been a member. Here
he was left for a time, hiding himself
' In the building.
Iter he broke, out and escaped in
. scanty attire.
He was at large all night, in the tn
: usual storm that prevailed at the time,
but was found in the stable in the rear of
the family lot the next morning. He
made his escape from the house a little
later, while a physician waa endeavoring
to Question him. and was subsequently
captured at o'clock that night. Since'
then he has been confined in a sanitarium
' under the care of specialists, but has
grown no better, it Is said, and little hope
1s held out for the ultimate recovery of
.his mentality.
From Eugene the version of the story
is that the young man was eccentric and
' peculiar in his actions prior to the haz
ing, and it is said that He was regarded
. as at least a trifle unbalanced in his
mind before the immersion In the ice
cold water. The experience, however, ad-
' mlttedly gave him a terrlhle shock.
A thorough Investigation by the mem-
bers of the faculty and the regents is
; being made, and final decision Is expected
soon. .

STAFF MEN NAMED
Governor Selects Officers
Under New Law.'
EXPERIENCED MEN PICKED
Colonels Jackson, Mclsonell ana
Yoran and Captains Welch, Whit
and Bowman Will Act With
Adjutant - General.
Appointment of the new general
staff which will co-operate with the
Adjutant-General in controlling; the
military affairs of Oregon, was made
yesterday by Adjutant-General William
K. Finzer. The appointments were
made in accordance with new military
code amendments passed by the last
Legislature and signed Thursday by
Governor Chamberlain. This general
staff will replace the old military
board, which will hold its last meeting
on Monday and then dissolve.
As required by the new code. General
Finxer designates himself as Chief of
Staff. The others are appointed from
the line and every officer is picked out
because of his special knowledge of
military affairs. They are: Colonel
James A. Jackson, IT. S. A. (Retired),
Inspector General; Colonel Charles K.
McDonrll, Third Infantry; Colonel
George O. Yoran. Fourth Infantry;

others one year.
Many Years in Service.
These officers will not be relieved

fect, will be In addition to their mili
tary duties and without compensation.
Whila the law requires that they shall
meet quarterly yet they are subject
to special call at any time and will
probably meet not less than once a
month. All are officers of many years'
experience In military work. General
Finzer, Colonel McDonell and Colonel
Yoran all saw service in the Philip
pines in command of troops. Colonel
Jackson is known throughout the serv
ice as a valiant and efficient officer
and bears special Congressional medals
for distinguished bravery In the Indian
wars.
The general staff Is created under
Section 3190 of the revised code which
defines their duties as follows:
That there shall be a general staff,
which shall be an advisory board to the
onimanoer-in- met. in all military In
terests of the stale, to be appointed by
the Governor, and which shall consist
of the A-djtitant-General, Chief of Staff
and six officers of the Oregon National
Guard, above the grade of First Lieuten
ant, to be selected for their special
knowledge of their arm of the service,
four of whom shall be detailed from the
line. Three members of the said staff
shall be detailed to serve for a period of
one 5ear. and three to serve for two
vears. Thereafter all such details shall
be for a period of two years, unless re
appointed. All such details made to All
vacancies caused by resignation or other
cause shall be for the unexpired term
only. Such details shall not create any
vacancy in the organization from which
they are made. The senior officer pres
ent shall preside.
Duties of New Board.
They shall meet quarterly in the office
of the Adjutant-General, where all rec
ords shall be kept for the transaction of
such military business as may require
their attention. They are authorized to
prepare and promulgate all pecessary
rules and regulations for the organiza
tion, government, armament, equipment.
Instruction and compensation of the Ore
gon National Guard required by this act
and not herein provided for, including
pav not to exceed 50 cents per day for
attendance at drills or any other duly
ordered military duty, to make such
change in the military organization of the
National Guard as may be necessary to
conform said organization to the require
ments of the War Department.
They shall have power to transfer, at
tach, consolidate or disband any com
panies or other organizations of the Na
tional Guard mentioned or provided for
In this act for good and sufficient cause,
or whenever the appropriation shall nut
be sufficient to properly maintain the
present organization, or whenever in
their judgment the efficiency of the state
force will thereby be Increased.
They shall audit all claims and accounts
of a military nature against the state
and all contracts for military supplies,
or purchases shall be authorized and ap
proved bv them before being valid
against the state. They shall designate
Die amount of bonds required to be given,
with good and suuiclent sureties, by all
officers who have state or United States
property or public money in their charge
or possession, such bonds to be filed with
the Adjutant-General, before commis
sions are issued.
r-ronrn Supplies for Troops.
They shall cause to be procured the
uniforms, arras, equipments, and- camp

use of the National Guard or other state
trTliey mav divide the state into military
districts, which may be changeu from time

The General Staff, upon approval or
the Commander-in-Chief, when sufficient

throughout the state is authorized,
through the Quartermaster-General, to
purchase such decorations, cups and
troDhies as may be deemed necesary.
It shall be the duty of the Attorney
General of the state, when so required
of him. to furnish to the GeneraUStaff

taining to the military interests of the
BtRul"es and regulations made hy the Gen
eral Staff in conformity with tnis act.
when approved by the Commander-in-Chief
shall be In force from the date or
their publication, in general orders.
Other Changes in Prospect.
The appointment of the general staff
is the first official action taken under
the new law. Many changes are to
occur and within a short time the Na
tional Guard will be entirely free of the
impediment of untrained men In respon
sible positions through the agency of poli
tics. It 1s understood that objection
made, for purely political reasons, to
placing General Finzer in office until re
tiring age, has entirely disappeared and
that the law will not be tested as to its
constitutionality, inasmuch as Attorney
General Crawford has already said offi
cially that the law is entirely void and
Illegal.
Guardsmen say there is some misunder
standing as to General Finzer" s tenure.
He is merely placed In the sam class
with all other commissioned of f icers, 'who
retain their offices for life, or until age
of retirement, which is 60 years. Thus
the Important place at the head of the
Nat'.jnal Guard remains fixedly in the
han.ls of a competent man an is not
at the mercy of every politician who
chances to arrive at the job of Governor.
In case of incompetency or physical dis
ability, the Adjutant General may be re
moved by court martial quite the same
as any officer

Death of Portland Educator
Occurs in Italy.
ILLNESS WAS VERY BRIEF
Teacher Who Helped Fonndi Acad
emy Here and Was One of Its
Principals, Succumbs to At
tack of Pneumonia.
A cablegram received in Portland from
Mrs. S. R. Johnston by Dr. J. R. Wilson,
of Portland Academy, last night, states
that Dr. S. R. Johnston, one of the prin
cipals of Portland Academy, had died
of pneumonia In Florence, Italy, yes
terday morning.
Dr.' Johnston's death must have been
very sudden, as friends received letters
fronv him written only two weeks ago,
in which he spoke of being in excellent
health and enjoying greatly the rest and.
life abroad.
Samuel Rutherford Johnston was horn
in Bellfontalne, Ohio, In 1846, and prepared
for college at Phillips Andover Academy.
After his preparation at Phillips And
over, be entered Amherst College, but
before completing his course there went
The Late Dr. 8. K. Johnston.
to Tuebingen. Germany, where he entered
the University. After taking his degree
In the Spring of 1879, he returned to Amer
ica, and 'beca-pie professor of mathematics
and instructor in German in Parson's
College, Iowa. This position he held for
ten years and contributed In no small de
gree to the building up of that Institution.
During a visit to Portland and the cities
of Pugat Sound In the Summer of 1SS8,
Dr. Johnston became impressed with the
wonderful promise of the Pacific North
west and of the opportunities it offered
for ?ducational work. On his return He
proposed to Dr. J. R. Wilson, his col
league In the faculty of Parson's College,
that they come together to the Coast and
organize a college preparatory school.
Correspondence was at once opened with
W. M. Ladd. of Fostland, with whom Dr.
Johnston had become acquainted In Am
herst College, In regard to favorable open
ings, which resulted In himself and Dr.
Wilson coming to Portland and organiz
ing Portland Academy in the Fall of
18S9. Since this time Dr. Johnson had
continued as principal of the school which
ha first proposed and helped to organize.
In July, last year. Dr. Johnston went
abroad with Mrs. Johnston, expecting
to return to his post at the Academy by
the beginning of the school year in Hep
tember. 1908.
Dr. J. R. Wilson last night paid the fol
tl O Jr.:
j?..,;
lowing tribute to his colleague and friend:
"In ihe death of Dr. Johnston the Acad
emy has met an irreparable loss and
every Instructor and pupil in the institu
tion a warm personal friend. He had been
for years an elder in the First Presby
terian Church in this city, in which of
fice he exhibited the same sterling quali
ties of upright life and devotion to duty
that he exhibited in all his puhlic rela
tions. Outside of church and school
circles many will be found in Portland,
as well as In the other communities in
which Dr. Johnston lived and worked,
to bar testimony to his sterling qualities
as a man and as a friend, and to lament
his untimely death as a personal and
a puolic loss."

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA
Why Salves Fall While a Simple Liquid
Baa Accomplished Thousands of Cares.
It is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease,
due to ai germ, and curable only
through the suln. It Is not a blood
disease at all; In fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and
are perfectly healthy otherwise, and
thereby prove they have no diseased
blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means of a penetrating;
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by sim
ply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and other
healing agents. This compound, known
as D. D. D. Prsscription, stops the Itch
instantly and the cures all appear to
be permanent. In fact, it took thou
sands of cures, case after case, before
the best scientific authorities were
convinced of the absolute merit of this
remedy. D. D. D. Prescription kills
the germs in the Itching skin. Its
effect 13 seen within one minute after
the first application. We especially
recommend D. D. D. Soap in connection
with the treatment.

IF VOTES HAISE.
President Wetlierbee Declares In
debtedness of $44,000 Can Be
Liquidated in Year.
At a special meeting last night of
members of the Portland Commercial
Club, called to consider increasing the
monthly dues, it was unanimously de
cided to raise them from 2.50 to $4.
This increase, however, is to be only
for a limited time, until all the indebt
edness for the club's furnishings shall
have been liquidated. From figures
given by the president. Dr. J. It. Weth
erbee. it was computed that the total
amount of the club's debts, about 144,
000, can be discharged in about one
year from the profits of the club, the
fncrease In dues and tha sale of life
memberships.
In the early part of the discussion
preceding the passing of the resolution
a few members expressed the opinion
that the proposed increase would prove
detrimental to the club, as no small
number of the mem,bers would feel
obliged to withdraw; that the success
of the organization was due to the fact
that' it represented a perfect democ
racy; that if the dues were increased
its reputation as an Institution where
business men can mingle on an equality
would be lost. Among those who spoke
In favor of the increase were C. W.
Horison, J. N. Teal and W. IL Hurl
burt. Said Mr. Teal: "I believe that
the actions of the Board of Governors
in the past have resulted In good for
the club and for the city. I believe
that the present Board of Governors
with this responsibility on their hands
of Increasing the revenue have consid
ered the question of a possible drop
ping out of members. The idea that
should govern in this matter is: Has
the club been a success; does the man
agement deserve the .confluence of the
club? In my opinion there will be some
dropping out, but these losses will be
offset by the normal gains. The obli
gation must be met some time, and It
might better be now than five years
from now."
At the suggestion of W. H. Hurlburt
a resolution was passed providing that
the remarks of .resident Wetlierbee
be printed in a circular for distribu
tion among members not present.
Dr. Wetherbee announced that the
Board of Governors has signed a con
tract by which Admiral Evans will lec
ture in the Armory March il under the
auspices of the Commercial Club. Ad
miral Evans will be entertained the
same afternoon at a reception in the
Commercial cub parlors.
