SEVEN PERSONS IN AUTO T'our Other Women More or Less Injured, but Man Has. Narrow Escape From Death All Are Prominent in Social WorltK BRATTLE, March 12. (Special.) Rather than run over a black and tan dogr that had unexpectedly darted In front of the automobile he was driv ing:. E. Hill, a chauffeur, swerved, his car, which skidded and overturned. Mrs. Walter "W. Dresser, wife of Walter VT. Dresser, general agent for the Trav elers Insurance Company, of Vancouver, B. C.. 1b dead. The six other occupants of the car were not fatally Injured. They were: . Mrs. H. K. Parsons, wife of the vice president of the Washington Trust Company; Mrs. B. L. Gates, wife of a Seattle Jeweler and owner of the ma chine; E. Ij. Webster, general agent of the New York Life Insurance Company, and Mrs. Webster and Mips Genevieve van Winkle, a young niece of Mrs. Webster, and the chauffeur. When the big car overturned, Mrs. X)resser was pinned underneath and suffered a fractured skull. She died within half an hour. Mrs. Parsons suffered a lacerated jcajp and may be Internally Injured. Mrs. Gates escaped with a broken arm and Miss Van Winkle's wrist was frac 'tured. Mr. Webster had a miraculous escape. When ' the automobile over tumed it turned completely over him. The party was one of. an endless chain 'of sightseers who were making their 'way to the Meadows to witness the lHamllton aviation exhibition. The Gates automobile was running about 25 miles an hour, according to Mr. Webster. Suddenly a dog darted across .the way to escape another automobile. To save its life quick action was neces isary. As the chauffeur swerved his oar the back wheels skidded clear around "and when brought up with a Ijerk the spokes of the rear wheels isnapped like toothpicks and In the ! twinkling of an eye the big car was Irolllng over with its load of human freight. Instantly there came cries from oth ers following the overturned automo 'blle and the great stream of machines became congested : and weged into a seemingly hopeless tangle. Mrs. rDresser was dragged out from under 'neath the car and rushed to the King County Hospital, where she failed to regain consciousness. ALBANY PLANS STEAMER X)MPETITIOST WITH SOUTHERN PACIFIC IS OBJECT. Withdrawal of 10-Oent Differential Rate Stirs Vp Merchants to Action. ALBANY, Or.ritarch 12. (Special.) iAlbany merchants may build a small 'steamboat to run on the Willamette 'River from Portland to this city. They are seriously considering this step in order to avoid increased freight charges on the Southern Pacific. The order of the Southern Pacific Company abolishing the ten-cent dif ferential rate from Portland to Albany 'on transcontinental freight shipments in less than carload lots has caused storm of protest here and the as certained fact that the State Railroad Commission cannot give relief has caused local merchants to consider other plans. Several are now advo cating the formation of a company to build a steamboat, saying its oper ation will yield them a profit aside from the fact that they can ship their own goods up the river from Portland. Many years ago when the Willamette Stiver traffic first offered the Southern Paclilc serious competition in handling freight as far south as Corvallls, the company placed a rate of ten cents per hundred pounds from Portland to Albany. This rate existed for more than 15 years without any complaint i from the railroad company or the fchip i pers. but receatly, after the river com ipetltion. so far as rates is concerned, Siad ben practically abolished, the Southern Pacific Company has shown an inclination to repeal the rate. So the order promulgated recently 111 at the ten-cent rate would be abol Jailed on March 22 caused no surprise. This order restores the regular local rate on transcontinental shipments in -less than carload lots, and means that the rate from Portland to Albany will Ibe about 28 cents per hundredweight. A difference of 18 cents on every hun dred pounds of goods will mean con siderable money to the Albany mer chants, for this city is a distributing point for a large section of the country and local merchants receive heavy shipments.

The work of the various clubs of this OIxAM-DIGGING IS POPULAR WINTER PASTIME AT ClATSOP BEACH. v l :: t "8 - -" fee "4 4 VISITORS AT SEASIDE TURN OUT BY HUNDREDS AT LOW TIDE. SE3ASIDE, Or., March 12. (Special.) Exceptionally low tides and balmy weather have had the effect of turning clam diggers out on Clatsop beach to as great a degree as in midsummer. During the latter days of last week dozens of people spent tae afternoon in pursuit of the festive bivalve. The greatest crowd was ob served Thursday at Seaside, when at least 100 people visited the town on the Xecantcum for a "day with the clams." Local people alone removed over two wagon loads of clams, which were consumed at the ho tels and shipped to Astoria. A conservative estimate is that 300 people were clam digging. The majority of the local diggers used Indian clam baskets, relics of the fast-disappearing Clatsop Indians. All varieties of fish have been plentiful at Seaside. While that veteran fisherman, Sam Lee, has been catching 40 pounds of bass daily from Pacific Pier, visitors have caught enough to supply their friends as well as their hotel table. Rock cod are biting freely at the Point, and big catches are reported from the rocks of sea trout. Friday a number of torn cod were caught from the pier. The freshwater fish,ermen on the Necanicuru have had, with the exception of one day following a heavy rain, rather poor luck at the salmon trout.

It was recently discovered by a hunting party from this city. As corroborate proof the members are now exhibiting the rusty and time-worn barrel of what appears to be an ancient gun weighing between 25 and 80 pounds, resembling a flint-lock rifle. This they say was picked, up beelde the skeleton. These bonea will be taken out of the cave at the earliest v possible date and carefully packed and forwarded to the Smithsonian Institution. It is believed by those who have seen the skeleton there will be an invasion of the caves in that section of Idaho by students seeking knowledge of the .earlier Inhabitants of America. Skull of Great Size. The skull of this1 giant is twice as large as that of the average man today. The large limb bones Indicate he must have been a man of great physical power. The skeleton is well preserved and was found upon the surface of the ground far back in the chambers1 of the cave, stretched out at full length. Close by was the barrel of the rusty rifle, which Is of peculiar make unknown to those familiar with firearms. No reasonable theory can be advanced by the discoverers as to how the skele ton happened to be in the cave. Those who have looked into the facta believe the skeleton represents one of a lost race unknown to men of this day, which occupied the American continent long before the redskins came. Geologists say the Western .country was the scene of a great volcanic disturbance at one time and great streams of lava overflowed the now fertile plains of this state, forming caves and great natural basins. It Is possible that this one representative of a lost race was caught by . the flows and 6ealed up in the cave in which he was found. . Extinct Volcanoes Abonnd. There are numerous extinct volcanoes in this eectlon of the state and particular ly where the gigantic skeleton was found. The older Indians say their fathers told them about the mountains which were afire and of the continual underground rumblings. Among the "lavas." as theso regions are called, are to be found many fissures that seem to be connected with large caves, formed when the lava was part of the state is meeting with great success and every day sees great num bers of homeseekers coming to this .sec tion. They are buying homes and assist ing in developing the country.

PIRATE SUSPECT CAUGHT Charles Homeyer Is Arrested by Inspector and Harbormaster. Through the united efforts' of Har bormaster Speier and the Customs offi cials, Charles Homeyer, long under sus picion of being a river pirate, was ar rested at 7:80 o'clock last evening. He was taken to the city Jail and bonds placed at $100. In default of ball he was locked up. The launch was taken in charge of an Inspector of Customs and will be held pending the action of Collector ' Malcolm. The charge on which the boat Is held Is that of run ning without lights. Harbormaster Speier has a number of charges against the man. Homeyer was picked up near the foot of Salmon street. He was in a launch and was towing a small skiff astern. He had neither tow lights nor running lights set. It was on this charge that the officer interfered. The penalty for operating a motor boat without the proper lights is a fine of $250.

PiiCOfi IS STIRRED Patten Incident Causes Liverpool-Manchester' Feud. APOLOGIES ARE OFFERED Operator Says Purpose of Visit to Cotton Exchange Was to Show Folks lie Was Not Adorned With Satanic Appendages. LIVERPOOL, March 12. The Patten incident at the Manchester Cotton Ex change yesterday has stirred up con siderable feeling against the brokers there, between whom and the Liver pool dealers there is much Jealousy. Local business men are anxious clearly to disassociate themselves from com plicity in the insult to the Chicago speculator. A Liverpool merchant received this cable message today from New. York: "Is the report of the treatment of Patten at Manchester true? England pretends friendship for America. Would heathenish Chinese be guilty of this? Patten is one of America's purest men." The recipient of the cablegram re plied: "Liverpool resents Manchester treat ment of Patten. The best Manchester men are ashamed and personally feel the discourtesy strongly." Mr. Patten abandoned his plan to visit the Cotton Exchange before sailing today because a counter demonstra tion seemed possible. He did, however, pay a farewell visit to the corn ex change. In an interview he said: "I went to Manchester to show them that I was an ordinary man not adorned with horns and tail but sim ply a bull market as I had told them. That the hostile demonstration did not represent the best elements in the Cot ton Exchange Is shown by the personal and written expressions of regret which I have received from leading spinners of Manchester, some of whom visited me today. "During my stay in Liverpool I have received between 500 and 600 letters from all parts of this country. Many of these Inclosed money which I was asked to speculate with on behalf of the senders." BRITISH PRESS VSFR1EXDLV No Sympathy Expressed for Man Who Made Cotton Dearer. LONDON. March 12. James A. Pat ten, the Chicago speculator, who was jostled and driven out of the Manchester Cotton Exchange yesterday, sailed today from Liverpool for New York on board the steamer Mauretania. The English press, generally strong for law and or der, extends no sympathy for Mr. Patten In his Manchester experience. The West minster Gazette says today: "We are glad that the American cot ton king got out of the Manchester Ex change with nothing worse than some hustling and hooting, but cannot profess any sympathy for his wounded feelings." The paper expresses astonishment that Patten had the "impudence." considering the injury which his operations had done to -the Lancashire cotton industi-y, to presume on the courtesy generally ac corded visitors from across the Atlantic. It adds:, "Men who make corners in raw mate rials, in men. life and labor, are no longer sent to prison, but they cannot reasonably expect to be welcomed by the people who have suffered through their operations." The Pall Mall Gazette does not ques tion that the Chicago speculator may be, on his own lines, an honest dealer, "but what is interesting and important is the Judgment of the Manchester business men upon the lines which they them selves consider reprehensible." The paper calls the cornering of the necessities of life monstrous, and adds: "It would be difficult to draw the lino between the legitimate and the illegiti mate In market methods, but that there Is such a line is the confident judgment of our common morality to which the Manchester Exchange has given rough and ready execution." Educational Meeting at Shedds. SHEDDS, Or., March 12. (Special.) An educational meeting, which was at tended by hundreds of people of this part of Linn County, was held here to day. Besides a literary and musical pro gramme addresses were delivered by Rev. H. C. Marshall, of Shedds; C. L. Shaw, of Albany; C. A. Park, of Salem, state horticultural commissioner; County Judge J. N.

Afraid of Ghosts ' Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a faaoy and the germ is a fact. If the germ eouM be mogui&ed to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is a deficiency of . vital force, lanlnor. restlessness, a sallow cheek. hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed. . "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, whisky or habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. It is not a secret nostrum but a medicine op known composition and with a record of 40 years of cures. Aocept no substitute there is nothing " just as good." Ask your neighbors.
