SIGNALS WERE IN ORDER lioar Hruknviaii of l.caclinir Train Hirt Not do Back Far Enough; ' Kneineer Following Passed the Danger Ulit. The report hy the b'oard of inquiry ' concerning the rear-end collision on the . R. & Jf. Januar? 5, near Cascade Jvocks. in which two stockmen were killed, was made public by the O. R. & X. Company yesterday. The report holds Engineer Thompson ff the second train and Brakeman George Hrown of the head train responsible for the wreck. AccordlnR to the report, the head fi-eicht train No. 3'i was halted bv a Mock slsnal showing "stop." Brown was spnt to the rem- to protivt aRHinst the following I rain, and another brakeman ahead to flas: throush the next block. ' The train hnrl besun to move when the ! 1iin followiiiK trashed Into the caboose. I Brakeman Brown Is condemned by the I report because he did not go back far I enough to Rive the following train suf Iliieiit warning and also because he stopped at a point which wae obscured from the following train by a deep cut. Kneineer Thompson's fault is found to have been In running by the signal which I showed "stop because of Train No. COO being in that block. Signal Shows Keel. A supplementary report, giving more details, has also been submitted to Super intendent Buckley. According to this re- lrt, Bnglneer Thompson would not ad- 'i mil that he saw either a red or green light at the signal he passed, apparently desiring to have it understood that he lid not see the signal at all. rather than that he deliberately ran by. a red danger signal. , Testimony- of a trainman on the ca 'lwKjse of Thompson's train was that the signal showed red when the caboose passed it. The board also obtained evi dence .that the passed signal had been i working properly before the wreck and was doing so afterwards, without any adjustment or repairs. Assistant Superintendent Shea, who was on Thompson's engine, according to the evidence given, was on the deck with the fireman teaching him how to teed the Are. The fireman previously had lifficulty and steam had run down. Neither the fireman nor Shea was in a position to observe the block signals and Thompson had nothing to do but attend to his tffn duties. Fusees Placed Too X'ear. Brown, the brakeman, insisted to the board of inquiry that ho had gone as far to the rear as time would permit before lie waa called back by the engine whistle. Me also insisted that he placed two tor pedoes and a red. fusee, but none of the trainmen would testify that they heard the torpedoes discharged. The remains of the fusee were found, and judging from the location of the collision and the fact that the forward train was moving r the time of the collision, the board Estimates that Brown did not go back mora than 5oy feet, whereas the brakeman ent ahead to flag through the block lid time to get so far away that he did It also is shown by- this report that EVIL DEED C0STS ' HOME Woman Accuses Husband of Forcing Her to Sign Rights Away.

Anna Blom. wife of Charles Blom, a traveling salesman for a local hardware firm, answered his suit for divorce yesterday. t Mrs. Blom declares that when ehe gned the deed to the property, she told the notary that It was against her will, and that when Blom learned of what she had done, he threatened to kill her if she did not go back to the notary and assert that her declaration wa wrong, and that she had signed the document willingly.

HOTELS WILUSSIST- Eastern Pork Continues to lie Im ported by Trainloacls Every Week in Year Cattle Com ing From California. .ive hogs sold in the local market yesterday for 9.0i a hundred pounds, the highest price of the season, though not the record quotation here. This price was paid for a carload of fancy quality at the Portland Union Stock yards. Portland, all things considered, is the highest hog market in the country. Without saying anything against tho Oregon wheat-fed hog. the packer will take an Eastern corn-fed porker in preference to it any time. Most of thr-m declare that corn-fed hogs hH.e better und firmer meat, but what makes tho real difference is the greater quantity of lard obtained from the Kastcrn ani mal. Thus, with quotations here and in the East on about the same level, the packer Is actually paying more for hogs here than anywhere else in the country. The highest prir paid for hogs !n the Portland roarjft in recent years was J9.65 per hundred. This figure was touched in January of last year, when there was a flurry in the livestock market similar to the present boom. Almost everyone connected' with th trade looks for last year's record pric to be overtopped this month. A promi nent local authority said yesterday: "I- would not be surprised to see $10 hogs in the Portland market before long. The supply in the Northwest is plainly inadequate and nothing carj stop the price from going up until it reaches the highest limit. That limit will be the point where consumers cease to buy pork, and all the boosting: in the world will not push the market above it. "The Oregon farmer has not paid the attention he should to hog raising. He has devoted his land and energies to growing fruit, .hay, hops and other pro duce that will not net him the returns that hogs would. In view of tihe short age here high prices are Inevitable. "Bringing hogs from the East will not help matters, so far as lowering prices is concerned. Eastern hogs are now being brought here that cost al most 110 a hundred laid down.". A trainload of Eastern hogs will reach Portland in a few days for the Union Meat Company which will prac tically cost the company 10 cents a pound .delivered. This bringing in of Eastern hogs is no new matter, for the Union Meat Company receives on the average a trainload of hogs every week In the year. Not only are hog values climbing, but everything else in the meat line is go ing up. Just now beef is the cheapest meat in the market, selling for $4.50 to $0 per hundred on foot. As cattle are being fed these days, the price is bound o go higher. Up to. the present time "the market has been supplied largely with Oregon material, but diir Iny the next three months the packers will be forced to draw on California for cattle. - An advance in mutton is also looked for by livestock men. The present pric of live sheep averages about $5.50 a hundred. The available supply in tha VEHICLE TAX IS ENJOINED Ordinance Must Be Threshed Ont In Conrts. City officials were restrained yesterday hy the Circuit' Court from enforcing the ordinance providing for a vehicle tax until the matter has been thoroughly thnrshed out In the courts and the validity of the ordinance has been tested. The petition was signed by 1st people, and sets forth a-number of reasons why the ordinance should be held unjust and illegal. The petition was presented by Thomas O'Day, as attorney for the petitioners. Scalp Humors and Loss of Hair Long Continued Dandruff Causes In cipient Baldness, But Cannot Be Cured By Hair Tonics. Rose Festival Literature to Be Distributed Gratis. BAYf CITY IS INTERESTED A Trial Purkase of Stnarfs Calcium AVsferw Sent Fw. Tlie complaint called dandruff is one vlih'h annoys thousands of people. It Is characterized by a rapid and profuse extoliation or peeling off'of the scarf tissue of i.h1 scaip in the' form' of small, dry scales, which fail continu ally upon tho clot.Iiint?. especially uron tho shoulders, much to the annoyance of the person affected with this disease. When dandruff Is present in the hair, there is an almost constant and in tolerable Itching of the scalp, and rub bins: or iritating the skin with the fingers only aggravates the trouble. In some cases the hair and scalp may be excessively dry, while in others they are very oily, indicating over secretion of the scalp glands in one case and insufficient secretion in the. other, and both, constituting -a diseased state. Afte-r one has been troubled with dandruff for some time, the hair begins to fall out, and if proper treatment Is not used, a complete baldness will en sue ultimately. Thft f irPl tl.incr the artratre noreAn-n who has scaly scalp and falling hair does is to begin the use of a hair tonic, supposing thf. trouble to be a local disease exclusively. Such is not the case, however, and the use of tonics or other local applications will not cure Mi.-h troubles, as their existence indicates that the blood is in a -devi-tAJizel, iepleted and impure state, and the circulation through the scalp and through- the-surface of the skin gener ally is sluggish and sub-normal. The employment of a hair toniX or hair salve then is utter nonsense when one desires to cure dandruff, fallins hair, o- any other scalp diseases, as th blood must be purified. Its circula tion through the skin restored, and the system c.on; up generally. STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS have -ur;l many long-standing cases of dandruff and othr scalp diseases, ac companied by undue falling of the hair, after ralves and hair .tonics had failed i to grlve even temporary relief, for fh simple reason that these pow eiful little wafers invariably purify the blood so thoroughly and increase Hi, volume and improve its circulation, that b hair and scalp are nourished in a way which puts an end to the presence or dandruff, and the hair roots a-id follicles no longer waste away. Thus the hair being supplied with nutriment in the form of plenty of rich, red. pure blood naturally discontinues falling out.

Says Lot Q. Swetland, Who Returns From Kxploitation Trip Through Californfa. Lot Q. Swetland, secretary and treas urer of the Perkins Hotel Company, re turned from an extensive trip through California yesterday. He combined business with pleasure and, as one of the directors of the Rose Festival, se cured a splendid concession from the Peck-Judah Company, one of the im portant hotel advertising concerns in the country. This concern will turn over all of its publicity forces to as sist the Rose Festival, as is. indicated from the following excerpts from their letter to Mr. Swetland while he nas in the South. ' "Confirming our personal talk the other day with respect to our doing some, 'boosting' for the Portland Rose Festival this year, beg to advise ns a matter of record that we will donate the service of our four offices on the Coast for the distribution of whatever .literature will be given us and we will also give- the service of our en tire cabinet system- on the Pacific Coast for the distribution of folders and booklets about the Rose Festival." The letter details instructions for putting the Festival literature In the hands of the four offices, which are located in San Francisco, Portland, Se attle and Tacoma. The cabinet sys tem covers more than 50 cities west of the Rocky Mountains and will give the Festival exploitation matter ac cess to all of these cities in which the Peck-Judah company has contracts with all of the leading hotels. In the aggregate, the arrangement made by Mr. Swetland will mean thajt more than 600 hotels will be placed on the mailing and. distributing lists for such advertising matter as may be published from now on until the opening of the big floral celebration next June. Besides enlisting the efforts of tills advertising company free of charge to the Festival. Mr. Swetland extended formal invitation to all the Bay City hotelmen. to band together and send an official delegation to the Festival in June. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the San Fran cisco hotel -.managers. "San Francisco is recognizing the Portland-Rose' Festival as a big draw ing card for Eastern tourist travel." said Mr. Swetland yesterday, "and it only remains for the hotel managers in the Bay City to take formal action to Insure a big'' attendance from there. They appreciate the extensive news paper advertising. which Portland newspapers gave to the Portola , last Fall 'and they showed every degree of willingness to reciprocate by boosting for our celebration.

Ball, assistant superintendent at Woodard, Clarke & Co.'s drugstore, yes terday afternoon for tho second thud within the past few months displayed his courage by clinging to his quarry until en officer came to help him. Patrol man Carlson, of the harbor squad, hap pened to be in the store shopping In com pany with his wife. Knowing Mr., Ball by sight he stepped up to him and 'said, "I am an officer; do you need help?" "I certainly do." gasped Mr. Ball. "Take this fellow.

At the City Jail he gave the name of Ray Miller, and his home as Portland. He was dressed like a farmer. Miss A. Bell, manager of the leather goods department, saw the man take the, handbag and immediately notitied Mr. Bail. The assistant superintendent found the bag secreted und'T the man's overcoat. He jerked it out from its hid ing place, telling Miss Bell to call the police. Miller immediately tried to run. Twice he started and each time the doughty store official blocked his way.
