The charge dismissed today in Judge Deasey's court was the last of these that caused Campbell's arrest and was preferred by the management of the Sutter Hotel in this city, the accusation being obtaining money by false pre tenses by the cashing of a draft for t:i50 which was returned dishonored.

Campbell announced that he intended to leave for Portland on Monday to wind up the business on which he was engaged when he was arrested at the request of the San Francisco police. It Is expected that the fugitive warrant against the millionaire there will be vuted and his ball bond of $2500 re lc. 1. Deal With Bank to Be Closed.

TITLED HUSBANDS LANDED Wife of Merchant Sow in Deep fi nancial Difficulties Causes Sur prise by Sudden Move Af ter Long Separation. NEW YORK, April 4. How much of Henry Siegel's money It took to buy titled husbands for his wife's daughters by a former marriage is expected to become known when Mrs. Siegel's suit for divorce comes to trial. The suit, which was not brought until Siegel had become deeply involved by the failure of his many enterprises, has caused great surprise in New York, for It had been commonly known that the couple were not living together and it was presumed that they would continue the status quo indefinitely. Mrs. Siegel formerly was Mrs. Marie Vaughn Wilde. She was the widow of Lieutenant George M. Wilde. U. S. N. When sh was married to Siegel she had two daughters, and with Siegel's money she started out to obtain titled marriages for them and succeeded, marrying one to a German and the other to an Italian. Siegel did not figure much In the family life at this time. His part was to supply the cash for his wife to push her way into society here and abroad. She made no headway in New York, but with the aid of the Siegel money, which she spent on entertaining and on charity, she did make an impression on London social life. She has been separated from Siegel for some time and has lived abroad with her daugh ters, while he has sent her 125.000 a year. Her Income has been cut off since December.

Double Voting System Pro posed to Make Co-operation More Effective. - BOX TAX SET AT 10 CENTS Proposal Is -to Acquire All Plants Xow TTsed Valued t $250,000. Some Opposition Appears and Lively Tilts Occur. HOOD RIVER. Or.. April 4 By ap proving the plans of the reorganisa tion of the Applegrowers' Assdciation the amalgamated selling agency of the Hood River Valley, as outlined by A. W. Stone, manager of the. association and of a recently appointed reorganiza tion committee. 400 growers, members of the association, today set in motion a campaign which will result in revo lutionizing the methods by which the co-operative selling concern la to be administered. The committee, which has been at work for the past month preparing a plan for forming a more closely co operative organization, recommended that the board of directors of the re organized association be elected by a double system of voting a membership vote and a direct representation of ton nage. Each member will be entitled to one vote and the affiliated grower will be given an additional vote for every 100 boxes of apples, pears or strawber ries. A vote will be added also for every 200 boxes of peaches or cherries rep resented. Acquisitions of Plants Proposed. At the formation of the association last Spring the storage plant of the National Apple Company was pur chased. The members of the organiza tion under the proposed plans will be come owners of this property, one-half of which will be acquired on the mem bership basis and the other half on the tonnage basis. The association mem bers ultimately will become owner of the plants of the Hood River Apple Growers' Union and the Davidson Fruit Company, both of which are now leased by the concern. The aggregate worth of the entire properties is more than $250,000. Provision is made for recall of di rectors, but only one member of the board may be recalled at any meeting or adjournment thereof. As a basis for financing the handling of the fruit crops the report estimates that for the ensuing year a charge of not to exceed 10 cents a box shall be made for marketing pears, apples and strawberries, and 5 cents for cherries and peaches. An additional charge of not more than 2 cents a box for all fruits Is recommended for advertising purposes. All surplus after marketing expenses and other outlays have been met are to be returned to the grow ers on a pro rata tonnage basis. Some Opposition Apparent. While sentiment as expressed was overwhelmingly In favor of the change, a concerted opposition was evidenced by a number of the growers and during the discussions several warm tilta oc curred. President Davidson refused the privilege of the floor to A. I. Mason, ruling that Mr. Mason should not be allowed to talk, since he was not a member of the amalgamated associa tion, although a stockholder in the Apple Growers' Union. Mr. Mason, who opposed the formation of the central agency last Spring, led in the opposi tion today. Warm words were ex changed toward the close of the meet ing between Roy D. Smith, a local grower, and W. Margulis, of Portland, who owns an orchard here, the men having disagreed on a point of the pro posed publication of the plans of the reorganization committee. The old board of the union was re elected, as follows: W. B. Dlckerson, A. W. Stone. L. E. Clark. C. W. Hooker, A. G. Lewis, John Mohr. Frank Fen wick. O. L. Walter and Lw E. Ireland. ST.

The ordert was the result of a complaint filed against the company by the officials of the City of St. Johns. It becomes effective in 20 days from the date of its issuance.

And yet they often disagree. In such cir cumstances, where one cannot decide which doctor is right, or if any of them are, it is best to take the situa tion In your own hands and do what seems best o you. In this connection, a very perplexing form of ailment is that which often afflicts the liver. The bile hardens into stones and forma in the gall bladder. The result is excru ciating pain on the margin of the ribs on the right Bide, and frequently over the shoulders and abdomen. There may be vomiting and chills and fever.
