Among; the accidents reported yes terday Is that of Mrs. Jessie Andross. of 71 Commercial street, who took bichloride of mercury In mistake for a mouth wash, and suffered serious re sults. She Is at the Good Samaritan Hospital, but her condition is not se rious. Several odd accidents occurred dur ing the week. Gus Doneiy was brought to St. Vincent's Hospital last night in an unconscious condition from Cotage Grove. He has been that way since Friday morning, when he was found In the sawmill where he worked with blood streaming from his ear. but there is not a mark upon him to indicate what might have caused the injuries. Harry Kenney was brought to the hospital because he tried to solve the secrets of a dynamite cap by pounding It with a rock. Two Cases) of Paralysis Kaowau Two cases of paralysis under re markable circumstances are reported. Friday evening. In front of the police station, John Woods, a lineman, be came partially paralyzed while work ing at the top of a 40-foot pole. Two policemen had to climb the pole to rescue him. The other case is that of W. H. Jones, manager of several con cessions at the Oaks, who was sud denly paralysed from the shoulders downward while swimming in the rat. atorlum at the amusement resort Mon day night. He has shown little Im provement since. Two persons attempted suicide by poisoning during the week. The num ber of automobile victims is appalling. Minor and more serious Injuries during the week number at least a score. Two have proved fatal and a third almost fatal. The fatal cases are those of Dora Dlnsaft. aged 8. run over Satur day, the 13th. and Charles Prostrom. who was struck by 'a taxlcab. It was thought for a time that Albert Lech thorn, who was struck by an automo bile driven by Mrs. W. V. McCredie, would die. Automobile accidents have been In creasing at an alarming rate lately. This seems to be due to the utter apathy with which the police have been viewing violators of traffic regulations. Violations o f these regulations are now seen at very turn on the street. The number of such accidents within the last week is larger by several than the number of automobile accidents hap pening during the tlrst three months of 112.

No. 55 West 144th street, on the watch for the Teturn of Samuel Schepps, who hurried from his home there last Tuesday morning soon after Herman Rosenthal was killed In front of the Hotel Metropole. Mrs. Schepps, moth er of the missing man, has been served with a subpena by the District Attor ney to appear in his office Monday morning. Mr. Whitman and Deputy Commissioner Dougherty have been told that Samuel Schepps was in the automobile of William Shapiro when it stopped opposite the Metropole, He has been sought without avail. Schepps Mother Defends Him. "My son Samuel is a salesman of jew elry, not fine Jewelry, but the cheaper sort," Mrs. Schepps said tonight to a re porter. "He came home early Tuesday morning and told me that he had a chance to make some sales out of town and had to hurry right off. He seemed much excited by the prospect of doing some good business. He waited only to change his clothing and take some things to wear and went right out of the house again. I have not seen him since then." Police officials admitted today that they have positive information as to the identity of every man who was In the automobile which carried the as sassins of Rosenthal to the Metropole and that none of these men had been found. BRIDE'S PARENT BLOWS UP Neapolitan Custom Proves Disas trous to Wealthy Squire. MILAN, July 20. (Special.) A dis tressing incident marred a pretty Nea politan wedding, and threw several families into mourning. Slgnor Menlnno, a rich country squire. living at Melito Valle Bonlta, near Avelllno, started out for the parish hurch for the purpose of marrying off hls only daughter, a. pretty maiden of Instead of rice. Menlnno, In pursuance f an old custom prevalent in the Nea politan provinces, had filled his pock- ts with fireworks, and carried In his ands three big handkerchiefs full of bombs, which he intended to explode at the church door on the exit of the bridal party. While he was at the head or the merry procession of boys and girls. decked out for the occasion in all man- er of fantastic costumes, the bombs suddenly exploded with terrific force. Menlnno himself was blown to pieces, the bridegroom and many others who had been bidden to the wedding feast were flung to the ground and fearfully mangled, and the adjacent buildings were shaken to their foundations as by an earthquake. RANCE BARS MISBRANDS Honey Made by Feeding Sugar to Bees Comes Under Ban. PARIS. July' 20. (Special.) An in teresting case has Just been decided ere. According to trench law a man ufacturer of commodities such as liqueurs is bound to add the words "de fantaiale" if they are manufactured in what the law stigmatizes as an artifi cial manner. A few days ago a grocer as summoned by the Paris police for selling honey without the distinguish- ng label. This honey was not made Irect from the collected nectar, argued the prosecution, and therefore was to be described as "mlel de fantaisie." The grocer defended himself by say ing that his honey was the outcome of AND HIGH OFFICIALS WHO ARE GUILT ON CRIMINALS. a process perfectly familiar and legit imate among beekeepers giving the bees sugar instead of the naturally collected nectar In order to stimulate an Increased supply of honey. In his own case, however, the honey was even more legitimately acquired. Instead of giving the bees ordinary sugar, he allowed them to make use of the sugar of their own honey. The court was unmoved by the inge nious defense, and the offending gro cer was fined $5, and pronouncement was made that all such honey, not be ing the outcome of the bees' natural conversion of their natural food, must be distinguished, as "Mlel de fantaisie." THE RIGHT OF A BOY Real Urchins Call Little Lord Fannt leroys "Sissies." Cleveland (O.) Tribune. The boy has a right to enjoy his boyhood. So let him romp and play. Don't try to make a "mother's darling" out of him. Little Lord Fauntleroys are all right In books, but not In this world. Boys themselves call them "sissies." The key to manage a boy Is to "finesse" with him. Do you remember how Tom Sawyer got out of white washing the fence? He took the brush and pail and waited until he saw a companion approaching. Then he got busy and piled the whitewash on with great energy. "You can't do that," he declared triumphantly. The upshot was that Tom left the whitewashing to the neighbor boy, while he went fishing." Tom knew how to "finesse." Tom Sawyer was written by a grown up boy; he knew boys and their ways. Don't ever tell a boy he can't do any thing. If he is any kind of a boy at all he will do it. We have to pile a whole lot of fun in our boyhood, for the days are not far away when we will be grown up and have our cares and our responsibilities, when we will have to take up the bur dens of life and have all too few hours for playing. Oh. for the boyhood's time of June, Crowding years In one brief moon. But all too soon tnese leei mu iiiuo In their prison cell of pride. nA' wmtv hrAnN the bov comes home with a dirty face and torn cloth ing. That is the natural state of boy hood.

Yes, boyhood has its rights, and the chief of them Is the blessedness of be ing a boy. Wise mothers know this, and, while they are nervous and appre hensive, soon learn to conceal the fear of their heart. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Marriace Licenses. wood, Or.. 65. and Margaret A.

PORTLAND MAY BE NEXT Conditions in This City Similar to Those In Gotham Hebrews Are First to Care for Workers in Financial Difficulty. New York has solved the loan shark problem. Following the confirmation in the highest court of a statute leveled at their business, 60-odd extortioners, within the last week have closed their shops and others have entered into agreements to wind up all their out standing loans on a 6 Der cent basis. 'Clearing up one problem has opened the doors to another the providing of a fair and honest substitute for - the chattel loan agent for It is recognized that these men served & useful pur pose, though demanding outrageous fees for the service. To meet the new condition, the Russell Sage Foundation, founded by Mrs. Sage, is bending ev ery effort for the establishment of rem edial loan agency. So directly do the recent occurrences In New York reflect conditions in Port land that the history of the great clean up of the extortioners is of much in terest here. Lacking the statute which has been found so effective in New York, authorities here have now pend lng an action against two' money lenders, based on the nuisance statute, and the question of law, whether the statute covers the given case, Is now pending in the Circuit Court. Special Statute Urged. While determined to press this case because the sustaining of the law as applied to it will affect the regulation of many other unjust acts, those who have been behind the movement are now preparing to begin agitation for the adoption here of the special statute as enacted in New York. They recog nize that this carries with it the second problem, of providing some other means of making emergency loans lor tne de serving poor, upon some basis more equitable than that maintained by tne sharks. Steps to this end have been proceeding languidly for months, but are unexpected to take on new life with the endouragement now given. Wealthy men have promised adhesion to the Drolect. but no one has taken the lnitl atlve in reducing their pledges to action. The history of the brief but effect ive, campaign in New York is stirring reading. As soon as the validity of the law was established beyond ques tion, District Attorney Whitman went to the heart of the matter by arresting "King" Brodie, dean of the sharks, and seized his safe, containing evidence of his .transactions. Borrowers Driven to Suicide. One young man who had worked six years for a loan shark went to the District Attorney and told his story. "I had to give it up," he said; "it was too horrible. In my six years I Know of 20 victims who were driven to their deaths by the demands made upon them. And each time a report was made of a suicide the boss would re mark, 'Well, we lose, but there will be another sucker along pretty soon." " While plans for a general loan com pany in Portland have been proceeding haltingly. Jewish citizens nave taKen the lead in the reform, and are prepar ing to take care of the business among their people. Articles of incorporation were filed at the Courthouse Friday of the Inter national Free Loan Association,. an or ganization which, according to state ments contained in the articles, pro poses to loan money to worthy Hebrew worklngmen without interest. The pres ent assets of the association are given as $1500, and it is to be maintained by dues, donations, contributions and assessments. The Incorporators are George Weinstein, B. Dunis, W. Ros- umny, D. Cooper, M. Rosumny, u. jua- kis, SI. Rosen. L. Goldberg, H. Horren steln and L. Rosenfelt, all of whom are officers and trustees of the so ciety. , IS Portland, Eugene & Eastern Company Reorganizes. ROAD'S AUTHORITY BROAD Entire Electrical System of Southern Pacific Included Construction Work Along Line Goes Ahead Rapidly. Reorganization of the Portland, Eu gene & Eastern Railway Company, which is to build and operate the South ern Pacific's electric system in the Wil lamette Valley, was effected at a meet ing held in the Yeon building last night, when the following directors were elected: Robert E. Strahorn. W. D. Fenton, Ralph E. Moody, A. Welch, W. M. Nelson, E. A. Hutchinson and John M. Scott, The officers elected were: Robert E. Strahorn, president: R. T. Guppy, chief engineer: W. M. Nelson, secretary and auditor; C. E. Woods, general right of way, claim and tax agent; fc.. A. Hutcn inson, purchasing agent, and P. Leben baum, electrical engineer. All the offices of tne company wm be maintained in the Wells-Fargo building, the entire fourth floor ana part of the second floor being given to its use. ' Parent Company Divorced. It is the Intention of the Southern Pacific to divorce Itself entirely from the construction and operation of its electric properties In Oregon the same as It has done in California, The elec tric system of more than sou mnes planned by the Southern Pacific will be operated under the name of the Port land, Eugene & Eastern. Even those lines that have been operated since their construction by the Southern Pacific as steam roads will become part of the Portland. Eugene & Eastern system when they are electrified. The Salem. Falls City & Western, now operating as a steam road, but which has been acquired by the South ern Pacific, to be converted into a part of its electric system, win Decome a unit in the Portls.nd, Eugene & East ern, although maintaining its corporate identity. A meeting of the Salem, Falls City & Western directors was held a few days ago, at which all the stock held by L. Gerllnger, H. L. Pittock and their associates was transierrea to tne oin cials of the southern Pacific Company The Salem, Falls City & Western at once was -reorganized -by the election of D. W. Campbell, general superin tendent of the Southern Pacific, as president. The road will be operated by steam for a few months, after which electrification will start. It is proba ble that it will be converted into an electric property within a year. Then it will become a part or tne t-onianu, Eugene & Eastern. Road's Authority Broad. The Portland, Eugene & Eastern was Incorporated between two and three year? ago with a capital or ii.uuu.uuu, and an authorized bond Issue of $10, 000.000. It would seem to be an excel lent vehicle with which to carry out the comprehensive construction and electric railway operation tnus far out. lined. Its authority is very broad, au thorizing it to construct lines from Portland to Eugene, from Eugene up the McKenzie River across Central ore eon to Ontario, with numerous hranches. especially one from a point near Canby via Molalla to suverton, one from Albany up the Santlam River, one from Corvallls southwesterly into the Alsea country and several from fc.u- gene into tributary valleys in Southern Oregon. William Sproule, president ot tne Southern Pacific, General Superinten dent famnbell. Mr. Strahorn, R. T. rsnnnv. chief engineer. Division Engi neer Burkhalter and other officials anpnt four davs last week on an in spection of all the lines included in the present and proposed electrical de veloDment. as well as some of the steam lines tributary to Portland. President Sproule expressed himself as much sur prised and gratified by the showing of the districts which he has now ior tne first time carefully gone over. Among these were the district De tween Corvallls and Eugene, through which the Portland-Eugene line of .the company is being extended and out through the Molalla country where the Molalla Valley line is being Duiit De tween Canby and Silverton. Also In other districts tributary to Salem, Al bany and Eugene and the west side towns of Hillsboro, McMinnville, Forest Grove and Newberg, where electrltica tion work is now being pusned witn vigor. Construction Shows Progress. The seven miles of the Canby & Mo lalla were found well covered by the contractors and construction being pushed vigorously in city lines in ba lem, Eugene and Corvallls and cross town lines forming links in the sub urban development and especially those designed to connect up tne tnrougn trunk line and from Portland to Eu gene. Work on the most important struc ture now in hand, that of the bridge of the Salem, Falls City & Western at Sa lem, Is progressing nicely and will be well out of the way by the time that road is electrified the coming Winter. Grading on the Salem-Fir line Is about 76 per cent complete and since JM.r. stra horn has taken hold of this project there have been completed about 12 miles of electric lines in the cities above named besides much preliminary work n all branches of the development. It is expected that the 43 miles between Corvallls and Eugene will be completed as far as grade and track laying is con cerned by November 1. The piers tor the important bridge across the Wil lamette River near New Era will be so well advanced before next high water that construction of the superstructure can Be carried on economically to an early finish. PRINCE'S HOTEL PLANNED Paris May Turn Hostelry Into Pal ace to Accommodate Royalty. PARIS. July 20. (Special. The pro posal to convert the famous Hotel Bi ron in Paris into a palace, wherein all reigning princes who visit Paris hence forward should be domiciled, is at pres ent receiving much of attention and'ap nrobation. Suites of rooms are to be reserved as the especial accommodation of particular rulers. The decoration of the hotel Is to be of a. special character, according to the scheme most generally supported. It Is to be as far as possible a synthesis of modern French decorative art. The carpets and tapestries would be the work of the state factories of Gobelins and Beauvals, according to the designs of contemporary artists. The furni ture would be designed by the medal lists in the decorative art section of the .French salons, and be carried out by the cabinet makers and upholsterers In the government service.

Seattle, July 20. No medicine was ever so favorably received as Sulphurro. The reason is plain. Sulphurro restores the blood to the pure and healthful state intended by nature, and the blood is then capable of conquering the Impurities and disease germs of the system. Ailing humanity in every walk of life has found Sulphurro a blessing, for it has brought back health when all other agencies have failed. In cases of rheu matism, Sulphurro has never been known to fall when directions for its use were followed. Blood, skin and stomach disorders have yielded speedily in thousands of cases. The Sulphurro bath is refreshing. In vigorating and health-giving. The Sul phurro booklet will tell you why.
