EL PORTAL. Cal.. Oct. 9. After hav
ing traveled nearly 10O miles by stage
and on foot in and around the Yosemite
Valley. President Taft returned here
tonight and will resume his Journey to
the Southwest tomorrow morning. He
will stop during the day at Merced.
Fresno and Bakersneld, and will reach
Los Angeles early Monday morning.
He declared he was not the least bit
tired from his mountain walk and long
stage ride today, and felt ready for an
other. The President retired on his
private car tonight.
Members of the California delegation
In Congress who have been accompany
ing him through the Yosemlte have
been urging the President to make a
trip to the Philippines in 1911. Mr.
Taft has no deeper interest than that
of the Philippines, and he has listened
to the suggestions of a trip to the is
lands with some degree of enthusiasm.
It has been pointed out to the President
that he could make a trip to the Philip
pines well Inside of three months by
taking a fast cruiser, and that he
would actually be away from Wash
ington but little longer than on the
Journey through the West.
if the President should decide to go.
it would be his idea to have A large
Congressional delegation precede him
on a ship, so that it might go over the
Islands with bim. The President is ei
lymely anxious to return there for a
visit.
With a contemplated visit to Alaska
next year and a stop at Honolulu on
the way home, followed by a voyage to
the Philippines in 1911. and an occa
sional visit to Panama, Mr. Taft would
easily set a new mark for Presidential
travel.
Wringing With Perspiration.
The President was wringing wet
with perspiration when lie reached the
foot of the trail today, and had to go
to bed In the Sentinel Hotel while
his clothing was hung out in the sun
to dry. Even the Presidents outer gar
ments were wet. and as he had only
the one gray Norfolk Jacket suit with
hint in the park, he had no alternative
than to follow in the footsteps of the
fabled man who owned but one shirt.
While the President's clothes were
drying at the Sentinel Hotel today, he
took a two hours nap and felt greatly
refreshed; so much so, in fact, that
when he reached here at 5:15 P. M..
after a 16-mlle stage ride, he declared
he was ready to begin the day all over
again. The President lunched with
Major Forsythe, superintendent of the
park.
A 40-ton boulder of granite fell
down the mountain last night and land
ed directly in the road over which the
President traveled Thursday, while en
tering the Yosemlte Park, and again
today on his way back to El Portal.
The rock was blasted off the roadway
this morning.
The President's last day in the Yo
semlte Park was perhaps the most en
joyable one. He began It by looking
at the sunrise over the eastern granite
walls of the valley, his vantage point
being the veranda of the little Glacier
Point Hotel, set right at the very edge
of the 300U-foot drop Into the floor of
the valley. The surroundings were
rough and secluded, and the President
appeared in scant attire. Having seen
the sun properly up and at Its duty.
Mr. Taft retired again and slept until 8
o'clock.
The 7400-foot altitude did not seem
to affect him in the least. In fact, the
President has stood the long rides and
early hours of the Yosemlte trip better
than several of the other members of
his party. After 50 miles of staging It
yesterday he sat up until 10:."0 P. M.
playing a friendly game of bridge with
Governor Gillett. of California; Repre
sentative McKinlay and Captain A, VT.
Butt. '
Today the President set such a pace
down the four miles of the snort trail
which brought him from Glacier Point
to Yosemlte that he had two of his
Congressional escort, Representatives
McKinlay and Needham. calling for
help. The trip down the trail was filled
with Interest. One-third the way from
the top the President went to the very
edge of the cliff and waved a handker
chief In greeting to some mere specks
of humanity who could be seen moving
about the floor. In a little while he
caught the sound of three cheers sent
up In his honor.
John Muir, the naturalist, explained
every view, every tree and flower on the
way down and dwelt time and again
upon the glacier theory of formation of
the valley. The President was told that
the "short trail" down which he was
passing was first "biased" by an old
settler who lived In the hills. His wife
would not let him have any whisky in
the house, so he had to walk daily down
Into the valley to get a drink.
In the Presidential party during the
stay in Yosemite have been Governor
Olllett. Srnator Flint, Representatives
Englebrlght, McKinley and Needham,
John Muir and Major W. W. Forsythe,
the Army custodian of the park.
Hears IIctch-Hetchy Debate.
The President has evinced lively In
terest in the proposition on foot in San
Francisco to throw a dam across the
Hetch Hetchy Valley of the Yosemite
Park and create a lake there to give the
city a supply of water. Mr. Muir. who
has spent much of his life in the Yo
semite and knows all the trees and rocks
by name, has declared fo the President
with all of the enthusiasm of the real
lover of nature, that the plan is a sac
rilege. His frankly expressed opinion
has brought about several lively dis
cussions among those in the President's
party who are inclined to favor the pro
ject and Mr. Taft has looked on at many
of thesa in amused interest. Once, today,
coming down the trail. Mr. Muir became
exasperated and exclaimed:
"Oh. I guess the rascals will get It In
the end."
He added that the Yosemite was a place
in which to say one's prayers and never
should be used for commercial purposes.
' The President has been deeply impressed
with the beauty, not only of the valley
itself, but the entire Yosemite Park, and
declared that the park had been neg
lected, as compared with the Yellowstone.
Mr. Taft Is anxious that some definite
plan of improvement shall be agreed
upon, in order that progress may be made
year by year. The President probably
will make some recommendation on the
subject In his forthcoming message to
Congress.
Arriving at tb. 'floor of -tha valley
today, the President was greeted by
Galen Clark, 7 years old, who was the
first white man to make known the
existence of the giant sequoia trees of
the Mariposa grove. Mr. Clark does
.luim tt hav Tneen the first White
-I man to see the mammoth forest, for
he found a prospectors ouun men.
when he went in. It Is his theory
that the prospector must have been a
white man. and that he was made
away with by the Indians.
Becomes Forestry Enthusiast..
One result of the President's trip
Into the woods has been to make him
an enthusiast for forestry. The seclud-

has traveled inrougn sutiuis
ests of yellow and sugar pine and fir
trees that have towered from 200 to
300 feet above the road, and they have
called out constant expressions of his
admiration. To many the slender, arrow-like
grace of the pine and flr
holds more beauty than the gnarled,
rugged mass of the sequoias.
Riding in the forests yesterday the
President heard a giant pine fall, the
result of decay near the roots- Jhe
crash ws like the report of distant
artjilcry. v . .
"The hotel at Glacier Point where the
President spent the night is but a little
rough-board affair, set right at the
brink of the high cliffs overlooking
the valley. The "Presidential suite,
one room, without plaster or other evi
dence of luxury, directly overlooked
the valley.
A tremendous bonfire built on over
hanging rock was lighted in honor of
the President soon after his arrival
last night, and was visible for miles
up and down the valley.
IMPROVE IMMIGRANT STATION
Taft Gives Orders That Orientals
May Not Be Offended.
EL PORTAL. Cal.. Oct. 9. One direct
result of President Taft's trip to the
West has been the immediate improve
ment of Immigration conditions at San
Francisco.
By the President's direction Secre
tary Nagel ordered that the new im
migrant station on Angel Island. San
Francisco Harbor, be opened at once.
The opening of this station had been
held up for a long time for want of
an appropriation. Mr. Nagel reported

Prisoner Calmly Enters Sheriff's

Flight From Place to Place
After Killing Policeman.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 9. (Special.) It re
mained for the persuasions of Rev. L. P.
LardPii. a Free Methodist preacher of
Pratum, eight miles east of here, to ef
fect the capture of George Meyers, who
shot Patrolir.an Thomas Eckhart, in this
city, Friday, October 1.
Meyers was driven Into this city by
'Lardon a few minutes before 11 o'clock
tonight and locked up in the County
Jail.
Larden met Meyers wandering along
the road. He immediately recognized the
youthful fugitive, stopped his horsa and
asked him a few questions. Meyers said
he was hungry, and Larden took him to
his home, where they arrived in time for
supper. At the supper table Meyers said
if he could secure a bicycle, so he could
reach Portland, he would be able to
make his -escape.
Two Walk In Sheriff's Office.
The retired pastor advised Meyers
strongly against such an attempt, saying
ft would be folly, and told him he would
be captured eventually and the best
method would be . to submit to arrest
peaceably. Meyers finally acquiesced,
and the two drove to Salem together and
without even his hand on Meyers' arm
the two entered the office of the Sheriff.
Tired and worn and haggard. Meyers
told his story as follows:
"Friday morning, after I shot Eckhart.
I ran north to the city limits, and hid
in the brush near the poorfarm. The
balance of the morning and all that day,
I lay there and some time during Fri
day night I started for Silver Creek
Falls. I had breakfast with Peter Luthy,
as the newspapers said, and near there
caught a team and rode for about five
miles then walked to within two miles
of Silver Creek Falls, then changed my
plan and walked toward Sublimity.
Day Spent in Albany.
"After talking to Bert Branch, a
mallcarrier, five miles north of Sublim
ity, caught a team and rode through
Sublimity. Later I went to Marion and
caught a freight, alighting at Albany.
I changed my mind again, and returned
by another freight to Marion, and then
walked to the Looney place, when I
talked to Marion Looney. From there
I came back toward Salem, crossed the
Jefferson road about five miles south
of Salem, followed through the timber
past the Feeble Minded School and the
Asylum farm and struck out for
Pratum.
Preacher Gets $1100 Reward..
"Near Pratum I threw away my revolver
and all the ammunition, dropping them
into a creek. Shortly afterward I met the
Rev. Mr. Larden and went to his home
with him. where I had supper. I have
lost all track of the days and dates of
these circumstances."
Rev. Mr. Larden will receive the en
tire $1100 reward offered for the oapture
of Meyers.
Meyer's story confirms the newspaper
statements of his appearance In different
localities in every particular.
TRUSTS HELPFIX RATES

tween carload rates and less-than-car-load
rates from the East. Do you ob
ject to that?" .
Chairman Knapp Intercedes.
"I merely want to know where you
stood." replied Teal. "If you are here
in the Interests of the, consumers, as
you say, it appears to me they would
profit by a lower rate on syrups."
Mr. Stephens started to retort, but was
interrupted by Chairman Knapp, who
objected to that manner of taking up the
time of the Commission.
Trinidad, a station a short distance
east of tho Cascades, on the Great North
ern, and Kennewlck. on the Northern Pa
cific, were named as the eastern limits of
the distributive locality of the Western
Hardware & Metal Company, of Seattle,
by George Boole, the manager. The wit
ness declared that there had been no
material change in the eastbound rates
from the coast in 10 or 12 years, but that
there had been reductions In Interior
rates from the Coast. He declared that
not 10 per cent of the heavy hardware
distributed from Seattle goes east of
the Cascades, and not more than 20 per
cent of the general hardware.
' Portland Case Is Opened.
F. C. Lamb, of the Washington Mat
tress Company, of Seattle, told of the
cancellation of a commodity rate June L
1906. that had existed since January 1,
1SU7.- and which had enabled his firm to
build up a profitable business in Idaho.
His company, he said, was still main
taining representatives in that territory,
selling goods and absorbing freight rates
at a loss In order to hold Its trade pend
ing hoped-for relief from the Interstate
Commt-rce Commission.
The Portland case was opened late this
afternoon but the only evidence was in
the form of tabulated figures, diagrams
and the like. Other witnesses will be
called in Portland. The tables were
prepared by Lew Anderson, a railway
accountant of many years" experience,
and oy T. Van Heekeren, secretary of
the transportation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. These tables
show comparisons of density of traffic in
Western and middle states, railroad
financial statistics, general balance
sheets, rates out of Portland for districts
running up to 760 miles, rates for the
same distance east from Omaha, St.
Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul and Winni
peg, and class rates for a number of
years. ,
Railroads Give Evidence.
With this testimony in it was the rail
road's turn to present evidence. J. G.
Woodworth, traffic manager of the
Northern Pacific, was the principal wit
ness, ami he identified the railway tables
showing the comparisons of east and
westbound rates as the railroads viewed
them. Pacific Coast distributive rates
were compared with those out of Salt
Lake, Denver, Vancouver. B. C and
other cities. Under cross-examination,
Mr. Woodworth admitted that the com
parison was not fair - as between Van
couver, B. C, and Portland In distribu
tive rates but as to Vancouver and Se
attle he thought the comparison as fair
as between Seattle and St. Paul.
The rate-making theory given by Mr.
Woodworth was that In- nearly every
state there are one or more long lines
that nave to meet rates made by shorter
lines. This was true, he said. In Wash
ington, and ha cited the railroad mileage
on the Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and O. R. & N. from- the .western ter
minals to, Spokane.
On cross-examination on this point Mr.
Woodworth was compelled to adir.lt thaw
the Great Northern, the shortest line
adopted the Northern Pacific rate when
the former line was complete, but he
Insisted that the state authorities had
compelled a reduction In distance tariffs
which had had the result of making the
Great Northern mileage the standard.
Heavy Traffic Now Lost.
In explanation of the high earnings of
the Northern Pacific in the last three
yearf. Mr. Woodworth quoted figures
representing tho amounts paid for trans
portation of construction material by the
Milwaukee and North Bank roads as a
partial Influence that would not be re
peated. These figures showed that the
two roads had paid the Northern Pa
cific a total of f.t.288,255.
Mr. Ten! ld Mr. Woodworth into a
nicely prepared trap in cross-examination.
He first Eecured an admission that
the profits of the Northern Pacific had
been larg-?. Then In response to ques
tions Mr. Woodworth declared the mer
chandise rates westward from St. Paul,
enforced by the Minnesota Commission,
were confiscatory, that the terminal rates
to the co&st cities were ' too low to be
considered a standard, that the lumber
rates, grain rai.es and salmon rates east
ward from the coast were unreasonably
low. and that the Asiatic rates were in a
similar class.
"Then where do you get your prof
Its?" demanded Mr. Teal. The reply
was that a little profit on each one
made up the large profits. Mr. Wood
worth was Inclined to make a guarded
admission that the merchandise rates
westward were too high. He is forti
fied in this admission by the proposal
of the Northern Pacific announced at
Spokane to reduce the westbound rates
16 2-3 per cent to Spokane. He said
that there would also be a reduction
east of Spokane if the proposal went
into effect, but could not give figures.
Competition Too Keen for Roads.
The testimony of W. P. Kennedy,
traffic manager of the Great Northern,
closed the railroad case. He declared
that the comparative tables submitted
by the railroads were fair in show
ing distributive rates from Vancouver
on the Canadian Pacific and Seattle
on the Great Northern. He Insisted
that the distributive rates from the
Coast were too high and that a re
duction to the rates enjoyed by St.
Paul westward would not Increase
freight movement a single pound.
The defense of the railroad compa
nies, as Indicated by the testimony of
the two witnesses, is that the reduc
tions already proposed, the new com
petition provided by the Milwaukee,
North Bank and North Coast railroads,
will be all- that the railroads can
stand.
When the railroads closed, Spokane
presented a table, prepared by H. D.
Trunke, a wholesale grocer, designed
to show that Spokane does 'not have
superior advantages in the distribution
of products originating on the Pacific
Coast.
"What you want," said W. W. Cotton
to the witness, "is a low carload rate
from the Coast to Spokane and a high
less-than-carload rate. What the
others want is a reduction on both
carload and less-than-carload rates.
We have been trying for years to
please you both and can't do it."
Because of the voluminous character
of the exhibits of tables, diagrams, etc.,
which the attorneys desire to study it
was agreed, today that the distributive
districts would be argued in the East
at a date to be set later.
With the closing of the Seattle-Ta-coma
case, the Commission adjourned
to meet in Portland Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock, in the Federal Build
ing. W. W. Cotton announced that his
testimony would require a day and a
half to present.
"We have had the earnings of the
O. R. & N. thrown up to us often."
said he. "therefore we have always sat
by and listened to the other roads.
Now we are going to have something
to say, and I am anxious to tell the
O. R. & N. story just once."
The Commission will end the hear
ings at Portland on or before October
16.
The Commission ruled on the Astoria
petition today by permitting that city
to Intervene insofar as its complaint
adopted the pleadings submitted by
the other cities. It was ruled, how
ever, that Astoria cannot raise the
question of competitive relief on west
bound rates in this proceeding.

ROSLYN, Wash.. Oct. 9. Although
the bodies of Pozarich and Tomach,
the two victims of last Sunday's ex

their bodies up to o'clock tonight

A strong rescue party was sent after

out taxes the strength and courage of
the strongest men. In many places
they are required- to crawl on their

rock and debris. In other places they
must squeeze through small openings
and slide down over heavy cave-ins
and carry the two heavy bodies in bad

"The cause of last Sunday's explosion
is yet a mystery, but it made terrible
havoc in Mine No. 4 and the dip. The
explosion covered a very large terri

and well guarded mine, and the coal
company did everything possible, so

explosions, and the cause' of this one
certainly seems hard to explain. Not
a single shot was fired in the mine

Nervous Dyspepsia
And Neurasthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
Continued Indigestion.
Neurasthenia, also known as "nervous
exhaustion." "nervous debiillty." and
"nervous prpRtratlon," is a disease,
which in these modern; strenuous times
is becoming more and more prevalent.
It is a condition in which there Is more
or less marked and persistent loss of
energy, together with considerable ir
ritability. Persons who suffer from this trouble
are easily excited und irritated; cannot
do as much work as formerly, and in
attempting any mental effort, quickly
become confused, and are unable to
concentrate the attention. They also
complain of Insomnia, nervous indiges
tion, depression of spirits, and palpita
tion of the heart.
There is a general muscular weak
ness; the person cannot walk very far,,
and tires quickly on attempting physi
cal exertion. There is a ringing in the
ears; blurring of eyesight; headache
and vertigo; epecks floating before the
eyes, and a general restlessness. The
ability to sustain prolonged Intellectual,
effort is interfered with, and the pa
tient imagines he is losing his mem
ory. Neurasthenics continually -watch for
new symptoms, unconsciously exagger
ate the eld ones, attaching undue im
portance to them. Causeless fear is
often suffered from; a dread of some
impending danger; extreme pessimism;
dark forebodings, and hysteria. Sleep
is not refreshing, and the person feels
much more tired in the morning than
at night. Horrible dreams and night
mare are usually complained of.
But by far the most prominent mani
festation of Neurasthenia is Nervous
Dyspepsia. In nearly every case, this
disturbance of the stomach dominates
the complaint. Cause and effect may
be transposed, and dyspepsia may be
the result of Neurasthenia, but oftener,
indigestion is the original cause of the
nervous condition. The nerves are
simplv "starved" because the stomach
does not digest the food properly, and
as the nerves are dependent upon the
food which the blood absorbs from the
stomach for their sustenance, any de
privation thereof is sure to cause nerve
weakness.
The use of "nerve tonics"' in this con
dition is a mistake; they-merely stimu
late, but do not rebuild nerve tissue.
Completely digested food is the only
true nerve builder and strengthened
and in the treatment of nervous ex
haustion one should first cure the nerv
ous dyspepsia, which is usually the
origin of the trouble, by taking STU
ART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in doses
of one or two after each meal, or
whenever needed, and the long train
of nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia.
This celebrated remedy is without a
peer in the treatment of nervous indi
gestion and, in fact, indigestion of any
kind. They digest all the food with
great thoroughness, and facilitate its
absorption by the blood, which carries
it to the weakened, diseased nerves and
builds them up. so that every symptom
of Nervous Exhaustion is gotten rid of.

CRANE KNOWS NO CAUSE
(Continued from First Page.)
the Chinese and Japanese situation af
fecting the United States have come to
the State Department, necessitating a
conference with the new Minister, is
gaining credence. It is figured that
important business of state has to be
transacted, and that the only satisfac
tory way it may be done is at a formal
conference.
Asked if he thought any of his pub
lic utterances might have caused Sec
retary Knox to recall him to Wash
ington, Mr. Crane said he did not
know.
In an interview published in the
Tribune, Mr. Crane was quoted as say
ing: "I do not think the summons is for
the purpose of giving the State De
partment opportunity to criticise re
cent pnllc utterances of mine. It is
most probable that things have come
up which necessitate consultation and
conference. It is generally understood
that the situation in the Far East is at
a delicate juncture. The papers have
pointed out that Secretary Knox may
wish to advise against a repetition of
such speeches as were delivered in New
York. Chicago and other places, after
I received my appointment. Follow
ing the receipt of cordial invitations to
make addresses before various organ
izations, I went to President Taft and
told lilm I did not consider myself fit
to accept them. He told me to go ahead
and do the best I could, and for that I
have striven. Mr. Taft knows that I
am in sympathy with the policies to
which he has given his public indorse-

What this Trade Mark Stands
for in Clothes Making
When you apply the term "Totally Different" ta
Men's Clothes, you must understand what is meant by
the manufacturer when he selected this trade mark
why his clothes are Totally Different.
When the finest patterns of the world's best manu
facturers are turned over to a corps of cutters who are
selected for their superior skill and making clothes fit
the normal human form; and every bit of goods, even to
the pocket materials, are thoroughly shrunk; and- the
workmen on the benches are skilled in their art and
are kept from year to year at big wages; you can realize
why the suits they build are Totally Different from other
ready-made clothing.
There is not a merchant tailor in this city who uses
any finer materials; has cutters more familiar with pre
vailing fashions; nor workmen who can put better work
manship on a suit of clothes than is found on every gar
ment of Totally Different Clothes.
It's a fact, the materials, the style and workman
ship is as good as you'll ever find in the highest-priced
tailor-made suit made in Portland. Every suit is uni
form exactly the same care is taken in all of them.
How often does your tailor-made suit satisfy you per
fectly? Not very. A blunder here, another there, and
you realize you aren 't dressed as you would like to be.
You can afford to come in and see what is meant
by Totally Different Clothes. You can try on a suit. You
don't have to buy unless you want to. Men are trying
them on every day who never think of buying a ready
made suit and they are wearing Totally Different Suits
now.
