Queer Case Results From Mis

Body Found Hanged.

Friends and Associates Think Sul

v Viewing Corpse Sweetheart
' . Only 19 Not Convinced.
When Lloyd W. Chick, a -jewelry
talesman, stepped off a Southern Pa
cifies electric train In Portland Fri-
day ho was greeted by his Bweetheart
as one coming from the grave. A few
minutes later Mr. Chick's employer was
welcoming him in undisguised aston
Ishment, and in less than half an hour
telegrams were on their way to carry
Joy to a mother who was hurrying to
Portland, supposedly to Chick's funeral.
ana to other relatives.
This changing of sorrow to Joy xln a
circle of friends and relatives was the
result of one of the most remarkable
cam of mistaken identity that has
come to light in Portland. Last Wednes
day morning a body, evidently of a sui
cide, was found hanging in the rest'
room on the plaza block. Thursday it
was identified as Chick and the identi
fication seemed so complete as to pre
clude any possibility of mistake.
Among those who viewed it and estab
lished the identity was Miss Florence
Alexander, of Spokane, sweetheart of
Mr. Chick, and Miss Alexander s par
ents; Louis B. Marks, a dealer in novel
ties, whose goods Chick sells: H. Rossi,
a fellow workman, and Mrs. Eva Berry,
a friend, and several business ac
quaintances. Mlaa Alexander Doubted.
Of those who saw the body only Miss
Alexander had any doubt that it was
Chick. The clothing, Mr. Marks said
last night, was identical with that worn
by Chick, and the features appeared so
familiar as to leave no question In the
minds of those who saw him. Rossi
ven said that certain scars helped to
establish the identity.
Then, yesterday afternoon, reputy
Coroner Smith received a telephone
message from Amity, Or., from a man
who said ha was Lloyd W. Chick. At
first It was thought that someone was
relaying a grim joke, and Detectives
Royle and Moloney were set at work
to solve the mystery. They got in
touch with Chick at Amity and the
latter took the first train for Port
land, arriving last evening.
Miss Alexander, who alone had any
hope that Mr. Chlck'stlll was alive, met
him at the train. Together they went
to the office of Mr. Marks, who had
Just been taking a nap, and at first
thought he was dreaming.
Reaction Is Happy.
Later they went to the home of Miss
Alexander's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Julius
J I. Alexander, 1332 Belmont street,
where there was a happy reunion.
Mrs. Ci. H. Chick, Mr. Chick's mother,
will arrive in Portland at 8:S0 o'clock
this morning, but the ending of the
trip will be quite different from what
ahe had expected. A telegram con
veying the good news Intercepted her
last night at Glendale. Another tele
gram was sent to Mr. Chick's sister,
who had remained In Oakland.
"I had the shock of my life this
morning when I read the report of my
death," said Mr. Chick. "It would not
have been so bad had I not realized
that my friends and relatives would
also know about It, and I lost no time
In letting them know I was safe."
Meanwhile no light has been thrown
on the real identity of the body that
lies at the Coroner's office.
AMERICAN TO VIEW FRONT
Military Attache at Berlin Will
Go to Serbia.
BERLIN", Oct. 23. Lieutenant-Colonel
Joseph B. Kuhn, military attache of
the American Embassy here, will leave
Saturday night for the Serbian front in
company with the military attaches of
the other neutral countries stationed In
Berlin. The officers will make tholr
headquarters in Belgrade, from which
city trips to the various fronts will be
made.
Lieutenant-Colonel Kuhn has Just re
turned from a two months' stay at the
western grand headquarters, where he
was presented to Kmperor William last
Sunday. The Emperor chatted with the
American officer for 10 minutes and
evinced particular interest when he
learned that Lieutenant-Colonel Kuhn
belonged to the engineer division of
the American Army.
Lieutenant-Colonel Kuhn and the
ether military attaches had a chance
to soe that part of the French and
British offensive against the Germans
which was directed against Prince Rup
precht's sixth army. j
WARRANT OFFICER DROPPED
Night Issuance of .Documents Au
thorizing Arrests Stops.
i
The position or night warrant officer
t the Municipal building has been
abolished as a result of the recent at
tack made by Attorney Hume against
the practice of issuing Warrants with,
the signature of the Judge merely
stamped, instead of signed, on them and
Warrant Officer Johnson has been put
back on a beat.
The attack of the attorney was made
in the recent suit brought against Offi
cers Harms, Wise and Martin and Wil
liam H. Warren by the Minook Hotel
Since that time Warrant Officer John
sou only Issued warrants with the con
sent of the judge and it was neces
sary to get him on the phone at night.
This proved so unsatisfactory that the
office was finally abolished.

"The evidence showed the existence

Building Is Decorated With Halloween
Effect Mnalcnl Programme Given
in the Auditorium.
Autumn leaves and Halloween decora
tions combined with the hospitality and
festivity at the T. M. C. A- Friday night
to make the open-house event a suc
cess. The resident members of the
house brought tneir mothers, friends
and relatives, for It was their night,
not that of the entire membership.
The auditorium was artistically deco
rated with' the gayest of Autumn
leaves. Pumpkins were about the hall
and yellow and black streamers hung
from the ceiling. In this setting an
elaborate programme was given from
9 to 10:30.
Every boy had striven to outdo the
others In making his room attractive
and decorative. In one room way down
the hall were hung Japanese lanternJ,
and in the window sat a young man
playing a dreamy banjo-selection. Not
one of the rooms failed to typify the
ideal side of a combined home and
community life. A number of the
rooms were, it was asserted, "Just
slicked up a bit." but others were hung
with Jack-o'-lanterns and leaves. Ail
were left open and the women visitors
rambled throughout the. building and
were shown all points of interest.
Those boys who were too urgently
occupied with their etudlea to Join iu
the early evening's festivities simply
left their doors open and gave an op
portunity, for an insight Into T. M. C.
A. life by persuing their usual tasks
while their brother members enter

were placed in almost every room for
the comfort of the feminine visitors.
At 9 o'clock the male chorus, under
the direction of W. M. Wilder; began
the programme in the auditorium with
a number of catchy selections. Ml6
Nadine Baker followed with interest
ing readings. Hartridge G. Whlpo's
vocal solos were repeatedly encored,
as were the flute selections by Robert
K. Millard. Mrs. W. L. Melllnger read.
Miss Anna M. Prlske sang, and Miss
Roxana. Wommelsdorf completed the
entertainment with a well-rendered
violin solo.
The affair was arranged by the dor

NEEDS OFPORTLAHD
AS SEAPORT FOUND
Co-operation of Railroads and
Dealers in Poultry Im
ports and Exports Vital.
INTERCHANGE IS ESSENTIAL
Establishment of Local Industries
to Consume Incoming Goods and
Produce for Foreign Trade
Part of Programme.
In Its study of the steps necessary to
build up Portland as a world seaport.
now that the barrier f the Columbia
River bar has been permanently re
moved, the trade and commerce bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce, work
ing with the trarfic and transporta
tion and the manufacturers and In
dustries bureaus, has found that three
main factors are involved.
First of these isto obtain the active
co-operation of railroads in routing
their through freight, inbound as well
as outbound, by way of this port.
Second is the co-operation of dealers
In handling all possible Imports and
exports in their territory through this
port.
Third is the necessity of balancing
off the outbound and Inbound trade
by establishing Industries here that
will consume commodities from every
territory where merchants of this port
go to sell, thereby not only drawing a
big inbound trade here, but supplying
the essential inbound cargoes for the
vessels of steamer lines establishing
connections with Portland.
New Ship Line 'Assured.
As told previously In The Oregonlan,
the Chamber has already accomplished
much. It is conducting negotiations
with 14 steamship lines, and has posi
tive assurances that at least three, and
perhaps five, will establish connections
here within the next 12 months.
To assure the permanance of these
lines by keeping them supplied wita
plenty of outbound and inbound
freight, however, the three phases of
the problem cited must all be solved.
How much may be done by the rail
roads In the routine of inbound as well
as outbound through freight by way of
a certain port when they desire to
route it thai way is illustrated by a
case with which Portland ehippers are
familiar. Some years ago- when the
Portland & Asiatic line was operated
direct from Portland to the Orient by
the O. R. & N.. now the O.-W. R. & N.
Company, their steamers brought here
in their inbound cargoes great quan
tities of matting from Japan.
This port, in consequence, was for
years the main Pacific Coast distribut
ing point for matting. The O. R. & If.
exercised its influence to have this
commodity shipped to this country via
Portland. With the withdrawal of the
Portland & Asiatic, these matting Im
ports were diverted to San Francisco
and Puget Sound.
Railroad Co-operation Essential.
In outbound through freight the influ
ence of the railroads is even more po
tent, for they control the routing of
most of this traffic. So to ensure tne
success of steamship lines, it is point
ed out, co-operation of the railroads
io first of all essential.
A more aggressive determination by
dealers in this section to handle all
possible exports and all possible im
ports through this port is also neces
sary. If this determination can be
aroused, it should not be difficult of
accomplishment, for this city's 154,000
miles of trade territory can be served
on lower average commodity rates,
the study by the chamber's experts
has demonstrated, by way of Port
land than through any other port.
The population of this great trade ter
ritory is approximately 1,400,000.
But the third factor, that of balanc
ing off the outbound and inbound
trade by establishig local induetrles
that will consume some commodltl-s
from every territory where merchants
of this port go to sell, ranks in import
ance with the first factor named, that
of co-operation by the railroads in
routing of through freight.
The Chamber is now making an
earnest study of this problem, with a
view to determining what industries
are needed and then bringing about
their establishment.
The principle is that there must be
an interchange of commodities.
GIRL-WIFE IS OVERCOME
Philadelphia Court Scene of Swoon,
ing of Bride or Year.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17. A pathetic
scene was witnessed in the police sta
tion early today when a girl-wife, after
testifying against her young husband
and hearing him sentenced to three
months - in the House of Correction,
staggered from the court and swooned
in a dead faint in the arms of Police
man Miller and the matron. It was
some minutes before she could be re
vived. She is Mrs. Louise Brooks,
scarcely out of her teens, and a bride
of slightly more than a year.
John G. Brooks, her husband, was
arrested on a charge of disorderly con
duct. The police say he threatened
Mrs. Brooks at the home of her mother,
on Montgomery avenue near -Twelfth
street. Mrs. Brooks told of her mar
ried life and how her husband left her
a few weeks after her baby had been
born. Brooks, she said, was living at
104 North Nineteenth street, and, al
though they were living apart, he an
noyed and threatened her on several
occasions, she said. He was formerly
employed by the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company.
'Car you get on without him?" Mag
istrate Morris asked her. "If you can,
I'll send him where he will not be able
to annoy you."
When the sentence was imposed Mrs.
Brooks thanked the magistrate and col
lapsed. ALFALFA GROWTH GREAT
Close to Million and Half Acres
Seeded by Kansas Farmers.
TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 17. Kansas
farmers increased their alfalfa acreage

devoted to this great forage crop is
now 1,259,500 acres.
J. C. Mohler. of the Kansas Board of
Agriculture, has Just compiled the al
falfa returns. They show a tremen
dous growth since the crop was intro
duced in the late '80s.
HALF-CLAD THRONG OUT
Fire Rescues in Philadelphia Come
in Early Morning Honrs.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 17. Several
thrilling rescues were made by. a po
liceman, and one man slid down a rope
made.of bed sheets from the third-story
window, when fire early the other
morning damaged a three-story store
and dwelling to the extent of about
iiooo..
The clanging of the fire engines
brought many persons to the street in
their night clothing and excitement
was caused among the patients at the
unuaren e Homeopathic Hospital, which
is half a block away.
The fire was discovered sho-tly after
9 o'clock by Policeman Peters, who
broke open a side door and rushed to
the second floor of the building, where
he found Samuel Docterman, his wife
and three children unconscious in their
beds from the effects of the smoke and
fumes.
Petere picked up the two smaller
children: Cecelia, 1 year old, and Julius,
7 years old, and carried them to the
street. On his second trip Jennio, 15
years old, was carried to the street.
The father and mother were then car
ried to places of safety and revived.
In the second-story back room the
policeman found Aor.iham Jaffe, his
wife and their child, Samuel. 7 years
old. Arousing the eieepers. he picked
the boy up and ied the way to the
street.
In the meantime rme one bald that
Alexander Taub was asleep in a room
on tne third floor. Peieis rushed back
into the building, but arrived in time to
see Taub s head disappear out the win
dow.
Fearing that his escape had been cut
on, xaub had tied te bed sheet to
gether and attached them to j. bodpoet
ano slid to tne street and safety, much
to the amusement of the half-clothed
residents who waccaed from doorways
ana windows.
The fire originated in lh l-actt of
the store and is b. lived to have teen
caused Dy a u ouse gnawing on
matches.
TURKISH TOLL IS HEAVY
ARMENIAN ENDURANCE IS
CLARED MIRACULOUS.
Presence of Vestige of Race la Won
derful, Says Canadian Missionary
Juat Returned.
DETROIT. Oct. 23. The presence of
a vestige of tne Armenian race, after
what it has endured through centuries
of oppression, is one of the miracles
or history, deolared Dr. James P. Mc
Naughton. a missionary from Turkey,
in an address here today at the Na
tional Laymen's Missionary convention.
Dr. McNaughton, a Canadian, was im
prisoned by Turkish officials shortly
after the ottoman empire became in
volved In the present war, but later
was released.
"All Ottoman subjects at the out
break of the war were called on to
contribute 25 per cent- of all movable
possessions with the exception of house
hold furniture," he said.' "From the
farmers 26 per cent of their crops was
demanded. Calling to the colors of all
men of military age left thousands
destitute.
"Today what is left of this mighty
kingdom is fighting for its life. We
cannot but admire the bravery of the
armies that are making a supreme ef
fort to guard what remains of the
national inheritance.
THIEF HAS NO CIVIC PRIDE
Brass Caps From Benson Drinking
Fountains Stolen.
Portland has one thief so lacking
in civic pride that he does not ven
erate the celebrated Benson fountains.
This developed last night in a report
to the police that someone had stolen
the brass drinking caps from the foun
tains in the Park blocks above Jef
ferson street.
The caps are the little nozzles from
which the patrons drink.

ITALY HOLDS MUCH COTTON
Shipments Intended for Germany
Valued at $50,000,000.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. American cot
ton valued at approximately (50,000,000
consigned to Germany, is n possession
of the Italian government, according
to Captain J. W. Batchelir, of the Liv
erpool Salvage Association, who arrived
here today. For several months, he
said, before Italy joined the allies all
cotton consigned to Germany through
Italy was detained.
One of the last pretexts used was
that there was a shortage of cars, and
to overcome this Germany sent to
Italy a large consignment of rolling
stock. Italy is in possession of both
cara and cotton.

"Ill" writes: "How may I regain my
weight and strength? I'm so weak
and thin. I should weigh forty-five
pounds more."
Answer: You will find just the proper
tonic and flesh producer you require
by using regularly three-grain hypo
nuclane tablets. They build up
strength, health and flesh. I have
prescribed them many times and they
are highly recommended.
"Grey" writes: "My hair is coming
out. I have dandruff and itching
scalp."
Answer: I always recommend the
use of plain yellow mlnyol to restore
the scalp to healthful condition and
overcome dandruff and falling' hair.
Mjnyol contains no alcohol to dry the
hair and make it brittle. It Is the
best hair and scalp tonic I know of.
"Niagara" writes: "My mind seems
to be getting weak and my whole sys

Answer: Tour nerve cells and tissue
cells have not been receiving proper
nutrition from the blood. Practice reg
ular habits of living and take three
grain cadomene tablets to Invigorate
the system. They should soon improve
your condition.
"Mary" writes: "Please tell me what
I can do to get rid of this tired feel
ing. My mother says my blood is in
bad condition."

need a good system cleanser, blood
riurifler and tonic. Such you will find

feeling are symptona of Impure blood.

pains in my back all the time. I am
afraid of Bright s Disease."

Get a tube of "balmwort" tablets at

benefit your condition, and continued
treatment should result in permanent
relief.
