SALEM. Or.. Oct. 30. (Special.)
Prompt pursuit by the prison officials
and the splendid behavior of the prison
bloodhounds foiled the escape of two
convicts at the State .Penitentiary this
afternoon.
The convicts were Thomas Copp. sent
up from Linn County la.st March to
serve one year, and 17. C. Alexander.
Thfl was received last June from
Haker County to serve one year. The
men were trusties and were employed
n the farm Just across the road from
the prison.
Soon after being taken out to work
after one o'clock the two convicts
started on a run toward the south. They
paid no attention to the shouts of the
attendants, who were unarmed. Guard
Mark Gage, who has charge of the dogs,
was called and a ifumber of armed
guards were ready In a few minutes to
take the trail. The dogs took the scent
at once and held it until the men were
captured, notwithstanding the fleeing
convicts waded creeks and traveled
through swamps to throw the dogs off
the scent.
A short distance south of the Peni
tentiary the convicts concealed them
selves In the thick underbrush, and no
doubt would have been passed by but
fur the dogs, who frightened the men
from their cover and sent them scurry
ing on through brush toward the south.
When just opposite tne Kerorm
School, about five miles from the Peni
tentiary, Guard Busick caught sight of
the convicts and promptly covered them
with his rifle, ordering them to throw
up their hands. The command was com
plied with instantly, and the nearly ex
hausted men were soon on their way
back to their cells. The entire episode
had consumed less than two and one
half hours.
Recently the prison management
adopted a new method of training and
caring for- the bloodhounds, and the
result was nhown in the speedy cap
ture of the two men today.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30. Reform of wo
men's dress, in the Interest of morals
was advocated by Harry A. Smoot. gen

sented at the annual meeting of the as
sociation yesterday. Declaring that
prevailing styles accentuated disease
and were responsible for the downfall
of many young girls and boys. Mr.
Smoot urged that the association use
Its Influence with the sources of fash
ions, as well as with the girls them
selves, to Introduce more modest styles.
"On walking up and down our
streets, espoclaly In the downtown dis

the belief that the extreme styles In
dress which tlio young are prone to
wear must surely be contributing"
causes to delinquency," said Mr. Smoot.
"Frequently every article of dress is so
designed and so arranged as to accen
tuate the wearer's sex."

The petition says:
"The grounds on which the removal of

his utter failure to meet the wishes of

Viewing the proper solution of the water

Ernest Harps, Said to Have
Odd Power, Will Be Quizzed

MOTHER TAKES LAD AWAY
I
Examination of Boy, Blamed for
Disturbance in Sanders Home,
to Be Held Today in West
Side lodging-House.
Little Ernest Harps, the 11-year-old boy
said by his uncle to be the cause of the
strange upheaval of the rurniture ana
fittings of the house, at 546 Marshall
street, occupied by the lad's grand
parents, last Thursday afternoon, will be
examined by five physicians today. None,
of the doctors would give his opinion of
the case or assert why examination of
the lad had been determined upon by
them as a body.
The examining board will be composed
of Dr. V. C. Birney. who has attended the
boy for several months; Dr. P. S. Kaadt,
of Clinton. Ia., an alienist visiting Port
land; Dr. J. A. fettle. Dr. J. Allen Gilbert
and Dr. Robinson who is associated with
Dr. Gilbert in practice here.
"We will not only examine the boy.
said Dr. Birney last night but will In
vestigate every phase of the strange
case." .
Peace and quiet reign in the home, at
546 Marshall street. Mr. and Mrs. J. r.
Sanders, grandparents of the lad. saying
the strange disturbance which rent their
home last Thursday afternoon ceased at
6 o'clock that evening a sofa Jumping
higher than a foot in the air being the
last of the odd movements that had con
tinued intermittently beginning at 1:30
o'clock. The sofa was one of the first
articles of furniture to be impelled by
the strange power early in the afternoon.
At 5:30 o'clock the end of the lounge
raised three times and after absence of
all movement In the house for half an
hour the sofa, without the aid of any
human agency, .raised itself in the air
and dropped with a thud that was heard
next door.
Said Boy Had Devil in Him.
Throughout the night. Mr. and Mrs.
Sanders reported to neighbors, not an
unnatural movement stirred any article
in any room of the house. Friday after
noon Ernest Harps, the boy blamed lor
the weird rumpus, was taken away by
his mother to a West Side lodging-house
where ho will be examined by the quintet
of physicians this morning.
R. Sutherland, owner of the house
which was subjected to the odd manipu
lations of the unknown prestnee, did not
insist on the boy's removal from his
property. His words to the grandparents
of the lad. Mrs. Annie Harps, his motner.
and George R. Perry, the boy s uncle
were:
I feel that the boy is the cause of the
strange disturbance but, if he is not, he
may remain with his grandparents in the
house. If he is the cause, I will have to
ask you to find another home for him."
That afternoon, after the boy had been
prescribed for by Dr. Birney, his mother
led him away from the house of mystery.
Night Passed Quietly.
"Mr. Perry, the undo' of the boy,'
said Mr. Sutherland yesterday, "firBt
told me that the boy was possessed of
the devil. He came t my house and
made that statement voluntarily in the
presence of my family. I would never
have thought of blaming the little fel
low if it had not been for his uncle.
The boy's grandparents and his mother
have since admitted to me that the boy
has been most peculiar ever since his
birth. I did not actually tell them to
take the boy away, but left it to them.
He left "with his mother yesterday
afternoon. I feel positive that th
Harps boy was the cause of the strange
movements In the house, but for the
sake of -giving everyone a square deal.
I will have the house examined by an
expert electrician, although I am posi
tive there is not a live wire in the
house."
Inquiries among neighbors, at A. J.
Allen's drugstore across the street, and
among people who had vilited the house
of mystery during the furniture and
crockery shakeup, elicited the Informa
tion th-t little Ernest Harps was not
allowed to go down into the cellar
throughout the disturbance. The cellar
was the only part of the kouse not
visited by the mystifying phenomena.
Mr. Sanders, It seems, fearing heavy
articles stored In the basement would
fall on his aged wife or the little boy
cautioned them not to descend the
steps, saying he would Investigate. He
returned upstairs, reporting nothing
had moved below. This quiet was
maintained in the basement through
out all the odd doings of the after
noon and evening.

Constipation And
Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused by the
Former, Which, in Turn, Has Its
Origin in Intestinal Indigestion.
Chronic constipation is a disease
which is about as prevalent as dyspep
sia and indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from It occasionally, but there
are millions of people who endure It
habitually, and who are accustomed
to resort to the use 'of laxatives and
cathartics daily.
Many people seemed to have devel
oped a perfect mania for taking pills,
and instead of trying to ascertain the
latent cause of the" disease, and remov
ing it by appropriate treatment, they
are content to continue the reckless
use of laxatives, aperients, drastic
cathartics and violent purgatives, 'until
finally inflammation of the bowels oc
curs, which reaches the appendix, and
the result is appendicitis.
In investigating and tracing the
causative factors of constipation and
its frequent sequel, appendicitis, it has
been noted by physicians that the ma
jority of cases were preceded and ac-
rompamed by a long-standing gastro
intestinal Indigestion.
The idea thaappendicitis is brought
on Dy roreign Doaies, sucn as seeds,
etc., becoming lodged in the appendix,
is an exploded theory. It is now defi
nitely known that constipation is the
most prolific cause of this dread dis
ease, while the constipation itself is
previously Induced by Intestinal indi
gestlon, or amylaceous dyspepsia the
Inability to digest starches so the re
lation between cause and effect is
readily seen and appreciated.
The absurdity of attempting to cure
constipation 'by the use of physic
should be apparent to every one. Lai
atlve drugs and powertul purgatives
will never cure a disease of this sort.
and those who make frequent or regu
lar use of them will, sooner or later.
set up an inflammatory condition of
the intestinal system. - '
A person with first-class digestion
will never be annoyed with chronic
constipation, and when this trouble
does exist, instead of slugging the
system with pills, liquid laxatives,
candy cathartics, etc.; use a remedy
which will cure the gastro-lntestinal
Indigestion, and you will find that the
constipation no longer bothers you,
and with its removal, the risk of de
veloping appendicitis will, be reduced
to the minimum.
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA ' TABLETS
have been the means of curing numer
ous cases of constipation, by first cur
ing the Intestinal indigestion. They
digest every kind of food, a single
grain being capable of digesting 3000
grains of alinientum, and in addition
to pepsin and other powerful diges
tives, they also contain' diastase, which
converts starch into sugar, and readily
cures amylaceous dyspepsia and intes
tinal indigestion.
If you are suffering from dyspepsia.
constipation, and, in fact, indigestion
of any kind, don t run the risk of get
ting appendicitis, but strike at the
root of the trouble the original cause
by using Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets,
which will quickly rid you of all
functional disorders of the alimentary
tract..

the machine hit him. As the car was
slowing down at the time, Goffin dropped
onto the step and sat upright on it for
a little while before he fell under the
wheels.
Dr. Rockey picked Goffln up and drove
him in his automobile to the Marquam
building, where he treated the man'
wounds before sending him to the Good
Samaritan Hospital. A few bruises be
low the knees were the extent of Goffln's
injuries.

Condensers Close Down Be
cause of Lack of Milk.
FARMERS SELLING HERDS
Hillsboro Board of Trade Is Aroused
to Seriousness of Situation and
Mass Meeting in Courthouse.
Brings Ont Big: Attendance.
HILLSBORO, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.)
The big dairymen's meeting at the court
house today taxed the capacity of the
Circuit Court room, and scores were un
able to secure seats. The occasion of the
meeting was the diminution of Washing
ton County's milk supply, and the fact
that many who have engaged in dairying
have been selling their herds this rail
owing, It is said by those so doing, to
the high prices for feed, and tle lack of
profit in the business.
H. H. Stuart, president of the Pacific
Coast Condensed Milk Company, wnicn
has condensers here and at Forest Grove,
took up the question as a result of a call
by the Hillsboro Board of Trade, occa
sioned by the fact that the condenser
closed down here early this month, and
will not resume unless the factory is fur
nished milk in larger quantities.
He "advocated putting in better strains
of milk cows and more producing of
green feed, which, in turn, means less
purchase of mill feed and a better profit
to cow men. He stated that as com
pared with two years ago the Forest
Grove condenser had received 600,000
pounds less milk in October, 1909, and that
If this decrease continued it would be
but a auesVon of time until the conden
ser at that place must close and this not
withstanding the fact his company is now
starting to build a factory at Whatcom,
Wash., and has more orders for cream
than can be filled.
Portland Creates Demand.
One great cause of the milk reduction
In the condenser supply is due to the in
creased demand for milk in Portland,
where the dairv disturbances has thrown
many dairies out of commission, coupled
also with the closing of many -dairies Dy
the high water. The Portland buyers
have canvassed east Washington County
nnd offered what is deemed a better price
for cream than that paid by the con
densers, ar.d this leaves the dairymen
their skimmed milk, which is an Import
ant factor in raising of calves and swine.
Dr. James Wlthycombe, of the Corvallis
Agricultural College, addressed the audi
ence on the topic of dairying, ' and dwelt
upon the fact that through the dairy in
terests Washington County had jumped
from eighth to first place in production;
had rejuvenated the soil by fertilization
incident to keeping large herds of cows,
and that today the farmer is much better
off than under the old regime of hay,
grain and vegetables.
Home Market to Be Developed.
The Hillsboro condenser will remain
closed until the milk supply is materially
increased, and the Board of Trade will
make an endeavor to interest farmers in
sending their product here Instead of to
an outside market.
Judge W. H. Hallis, president of the
Washington Oounty Development League,
presided over the sfsion. Other speak- '

Case Sent Back for Rehearing Is Af
firmed and Precedent Pirm
ly Established,
OLYMPIA', Wash., Oct. 30. (Special.)
Threo Judges may bo a majority of tho
nine judges of the Slate Supreme Court,
is the unanimous decision of the nine
members of the present High Court In a
decision rendered today, in a caso where
in it was contended that under the state
constitution It would require a majority
of the entire bench to render an opinion.
When the Court some time ago decided
that Matt H. Gormiey whs legally en
titled to retain the office of Treasurer of
King County because the Treasurer elect
ed had failed to qualify, the decision was
signed by but four judges.
Application was made to the court for
a rehearing on the contention that tho
new law dividing the court into two de
partments of five judges each, of which
a majority, or three, could render a de
cision, was in violation of tho constitu
tion. To settle this question the court grant
ed the rehearing and today reaffirmed
by a vote of seven to two t lie decision
sustaining Gormiey in office, and by
unanimous vole hr-ld that tho constitu
tional provision fixing a majority of the
court required only three members, that
number being a majority of the original
bench.
The constitutional language reads:
"The Supreme Court shall consist of five
Judges, a majority of whom shall be nec
essary to pronounce decision." Later the
constitution provides that tho Legislature
may. increase the number of Judges and
may provide for separate departments.
