i-
William H. Block, of Indianap
olis, in Custody.
ARREST FOLLOWS FLIGHT
Son of Wealthy Merchant Now Fed
eral Prisoner in Connty Jail
and Deeply Repentant.
Fearing that he might not receive
proper classification in the draft be
cause of his recent marriage, William
H. Block, Jr., of Indianapolis, Ind., fled
on November 2, last year, and last night
he was in the Multnomah County Jail,
a Federal prisoner. Block is the son
of a leading merchant of Indianapolis,
a man said to be intensely patriotic.
The prisoner was buyer for his father's
establishment.
According to Block's story, as told to
Assistant United States Attorney Gold
stein yesterday, he was married the
month following the entry of the United
States into the war. As time passed
he read in the papers that newly mar
ried men would be drafted and par
ticularly that young men of wealth
would have no chance to escape serv
ice. This preyed on his mand, and last
November he drew $10,000 from the
bank, took his bride and fled The
couple visited Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.
Last May, in San Francisco, a baby
girl was bom.
Mrs. Hart, mother of the young Mrs.
Block, was advised that the baby was
111 and she. was directed to come to
Portland and register at the Multno
mah. When she arrived here, Mrs.
Hart received a telephone message to
proceed to Roseburg and there she met
the couple. It was at Roseburg that
Sheriff Quine arrested Block .as a
slacker. He was brought to Portland
by Deputy Marshal Tichenor. Bail was
placed at $10,000, a sum which did not
seem impossible for the young man to
raise.
To Mr. Goldstein Block declared that
wealth had been a detriment to him;
that h realizes his mistake in running
away and that he now is convinced
that he would have received a sqaure
deal from his local board.
In contrast to the rich Mr Block, is
George Williams, another alleged
Blacker. Williams' excuse is that he
was working for a couple of Japanese
near Salem who told him that he would
lose his Job if he registered. Deputy
Marshal Tichenor brought the walthy
Block and the impoverished Williams
to Portland in the same automobile.

VOTERS:
I have not been called for service in
the Army and If I should be that fact
would not in any way interfere with
my race for Congress.
Tour Congressman will serve you or
your exploiters. Your vote will deter
mine which.
Last election I received 28,000 votes;
McArthur 34,000; the Democrat only
9000, which shows that I am the logical
candidate against McArthur now.
If elected I will support Wilson on
every vote. .
Break the stranglehold of the money
trust by giving to Uncle Sam equal
banking privileges with Rockefeller
and Morgan.
Open entire O. & C. land grant, with
the trees growing thereon, for homes.
Government ownership will make
shipbuilding ' permanent in Portland.
Nothing less will.
McArthur voted against the President
on the 8-hour law and the water power
bill. He has voted with the big Inter
ests on every occasion. The fact that
McArthur has misrepresented you for
two terms does not entitle him to a
third term. Don't wait till 1920 to elect
a Congressman who will serve you.

Repair and maintenance of local
roads will be permitted during war
times, according to information re

Commissioner Currey, of the State
Council of Defense, which had wired
to Washington for instructions. Mr.
Currey had asked what procedure
would have to be followed, and what
was the Government's attitude on im

all proposed road work requiring Gov
ernment assistance in securing mr
ial, transportation or labor after No
vember 1 should be submitted to the
United States Highway Council through
the State Highway Department, on
forms already furnished.
The ruling means, in effect, that road
improvements are to be limited to
vitally essential needs, and that local
improvements can be carried on with
out interruption. However, before any
county undertakes to do any work, it
should submit the proposed programme
to the State Highway Department for
approval.
Mr. Currey was m receipt of a num
ber of inquiries from County Judges in
this state, asking for Information on
the road subject. They have been ad
vised of the ruling made recently in
Washington, which will not permit of

AUTHENTIC CLINICAL TESTS SHOW ONE PATIENT

Bitro-Phosphate, the Organic Substance
Discovered by French Scientist, Excites
Interest of American Physicians
New York. The discovery of an or
ganic phosphate which when taken into
the human system is quickly converted
Into healthy body tissue, is regarded
by medical specialists as of vital Im
portance to people who suffer from ail
ments directly or Indirectly due to de
pleted nervous vitality, such as neuras
thenia, nervous weaKness. ininness.
premature old age. insomnia, lack of
energy, nervous debility, etc
Thinness and weakness are usually'
due to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
Is nothing that will supply this defi
ciency so well as the organic phos
phate known among dnrggists as bitro
phosphate, which is inexpensive and is
sold by most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food elements,
bitro-pnosphate quickly produces a
welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's
Hospital, N. Y. C, showed that two
patients gained in weight 23 and 27
pounds, respectively, through the ad
ministration of this organic phosphate;
both patients claim they have not felt
as fetrong and well for the past twelve
years.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
Physicians and hospitals everywhere
are now recognizing its merits by its
use in ever increasing quantities. Fred
erick Kolle, M. D., editor at New York
Physician's "Who's Who," says: "Bitro
Phosphate should be prescribed by
every doctor and used in every hospital
to increase strength and nerve force
and to enrich the blood."
Jos. D. Harrigan, Former Visiting
Specialist to North Eastern Dispensa
tory, says: "Let those who are weak,
thin, nervous, anaemic or run - down,
take a natural, unadulterated strength
and tissue building substance such as
bitro-phosphate' and you will soon see
some astonishing results in the increase
of nerve energy, strength of body and
mind and power of endurance."
CAUTION: Although Bitro - Phos
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, owing to its . remarkable
flesh-growing properties, it should not
be used by anyone who does not desire
to put on flesh. Adv.
