8 THE SUXDiT OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 3, 1918. PRISON PROBETO LAY BARE WHOLE TRUTH State's Attorney Brown Points Animus of Attack. INVESTIGATION THOROUGH Xarge Amount of Testimony Given by Over 100 Witnesses Vecesfii J tates Time to Prepare Report, SALEM, Or., Nov. 2 (Special.) The action of Governor Withycombe In the prison investigations has been that of a fair-minded, dignified Chief Execu tive of Orefon In search of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, declares Attorney-General Brown today in a statement baring the politi cal animus which is behind the attacks on the Governor in-posters being issued by Walter Pierce's campaign managers. Intimation is there given that the Governor is withholding the report on the penitentiary probe for political purposes until after the election. Attorney-tteneral Brown virtually takes upon himself in his statement today responsibility for the result of the investigation not yet being made public, pointing out that more than 100 witnesses have been examined; that 696 pages of testimony have been taken down and that all this evidence must be studied with the greatest cars and consideration before a report can be made that speaks the truth. Investigation Thorough One. In his statement today Attorney General Brown says: 'Every effort has been made to com plete a prompt, ' thorough and honest investigation of the so-called peniten tiary scandal. "With the aid Of the District Attor neys of Multnomah, Marlon and Linn counties, 1 have examined more than 100 witnesses and taken down 696 pages of testimony. "All this evidence must be studied with the greatest care and considera tion before a report can be made that speaks the truth. "Gathering up witnesses from every corner of the state and subjecting them to rigid examinations and cross-examinations and weeding out from their testimony that which is competent from that" which is incompetent takes considerable time which the people of the state should be willing to concede. Governor Sought Whole Troth. "Common right and fair play demands euch an investigation as Governor Withycombe has requested, and such an investigation will be m&de regard less of political criticism. "The action of Governor Withycombe In the prison Investigation has been that of a fair-minded, dignified Chief Executive of Oregon in search of truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and willing and anxious that the public may know the truth." CONTRACT RENEWAL UP HUMANE SOCIETY ASKS SUP TORT OF PORTLAND VOTER. Officer of Organization Says All Proceeds Used to Better Lo cal Conditions. Every dollar taken in by the Oregon Humane Society from the city pound goes to improve conditions in the city, says Otto J. Kraemer, secretary-treasurer for many years, in urging Port land voters to vote for the renewal of the contract with the eity for- the car rying on of the pound. "Before agreeing to the original cop tract. Mayor Albee carefully investi gated conditions and strongly recom mended its adoption," says Mr. Krae mer. "Mayor Baker, after visiting other cities where like contracts are in force, and studying conditions, recommends To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness, r who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has effected complece relief after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight Inches away froro lther ear. Therefore, if you know of some one who is troubled, with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you many have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as fol lows: Secure from your druggist 1 os. Parmlnt (Doubie Strength). Take this home and add to It hi pint of hot water and a little gran ulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonf ul four times a day. J'armint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and welling In the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions In the middle ear, and the results it gives are near ly always quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form. or distressing rumbling, hissing sounds In their ears, should give this recipe a trial, Art v. RUB YOUR BACK! STOPS LUMBAGO Don't Drug Kidneys! Rub the Pain Right Out With Old ' "St. Jacobs Liniment." Back hurt you? Can't straighten up without feeling sudden pains, sharp aches and twingres? Now listen! That's lumbago, sciatica, or maybe from a strain, and you'll get blessed relief the moment you rub your back with sooth ing, penetrating "St Jacobs Liniment!" Nothing else takes out soreness, lame ness and stiffness so quickly. You sim ply rub it on and out comes the pain. It Is perfectly harmless and doesn't burn or discolor the skin. Limber up! Don't suffer! Get a small trial bottle from any drug store, and after using it just once, you'll forget that you ever had backache, lumbago or sciatica, because your back will never hurt or cause any more misery. It never disappoints and has been rec ommended for 60 years. Stop drugging kidneys! They don't cause backache, because they have no nerves, therefore cannot cause pain. Adv, the renewal of the contract. The city was authorized to make the original contract by a vote of 19,682 to 11,35$. "Most merciful and efficient methods of impounding and slaughtering dogs and other animals have been brought about by the society. Conditions in the pound have been materially Improved and were never better. There is now yery little cruelty to animals within the city limits, for which much credit is due to the humans society and its 40 years of humane teaching. 'An ounce of humane education Is worth 200 pounds of policeman. No other state has better laws for preven tion of cruelty than has Oregon, for which credit is due the society. "The society within the state of Ore gon has stopped docking of horses' tails, high checkrelns. overloading ORECOMA?t ELKCTIOX SEWS. Unless the ban on assembling of crowds is lifted by next Tues day, election day. The Oregonlan will not flash bulletins of the re turns that night, as has been Its custom. For the same reason vis itors will not be admitted that night to The Oregonian's edi torial rooms. The Oregonian re grets these restrictions, but they are unavoidable in the present unusual circumstances. The Pacific Telephone A Tele graph Company has requested the public not to telephone for elec- 1 tion news, as the Influenza epi demic has cut down Its working fores and all available facilities are required under present con ditions for emergency calls. As regards the Horn Telephone Com pany, the situation is different, because of Its automatic service, and The Oregonian will give out election news on the Home sys tem. In case The Oregonian trunks are busy when you call, try A63, the Information number of the telephone company. As the polls do not close until 8 P. M., It Is unlikely that any figures on the results In Portland will be available- before 1:30 o'clock.' Returns from the state at larse will not be received be fore 11 o'clock. teams and slaughter of songbirds. An automobile, a motorcycle and horse am bulance Rave been donated to the so eiety and are used within the city for its benefit. "Humane societies are helping the allies In cars and use of dogs and horses for war purposes. The Oregon society is no slacker. Vote ballot 500 yea and help the society only that .the society may In turn better help you and the Government."

Lafferty, Independent candi date for Congressional Representative from the Third Oregon District, is one of only three candidates for Congress who favor peace with Germany without unconditional surrender, according to a tory published in the New York Times for October 28, Just received in Port land.
