"Of course, we don't believe In dreams up here." said Mr. Alkus. "We deal only in facts." "Without attemptinr to detract from the part the Burns agency played in finding- the body. Is it not a fact that the prediction of Mrs. Ar mour, based on communication with Mr. McNutt. came true?" the detective was asked. "Yes. I will admit that everything; Mrs. Armour pictured as baring" been "vlsioned" to her came true. She told Mrs. McNutt months ico all about it. just as it came about, where and how the body was found.

"Did Mrs. McNutt tell you in ad vance, weeks aco, that the body wis buried on the farm at Scotia?" the ex ecutive was asked. "oh. yes. Mrs. Armour told Mrs. McNutt that; but the actual finding of the body followed as a result of the telegram from Los Angeles. "She told Mrs. McNutt weeks ago that the body was Just about where the deputy sheriff found it. but the actual finding was due to the tele gram. The sheriff could. hardly be expected to send a deputy on the com munications received by a medium. When we produced the telegram the sheriff acted and the body was found." Mrs. McNutt declared she gave Mrs. Armour $1 for a reading, but that she has never paid her a cent since. Cmmulrilin la Asserted. "On the other hand, i Mrs. Armour has been so pursued by Will (Mc Nutt) that she spent her on money to go with me to Los Angeles." she said. "In fact, she paid part of my expenses. What Mrs. Armour has told you she told us months and months ago. Day by day Will (McNut.t) would communicate with her and she would repeat his injunctions and his "visions to us. On one occasion we had Mr. Alkus. manager of the Burns detective agency, here. "He heard the entire communication from Will and. acting on this, the Burns people found the auto, the fur niture, the McDonalds and the body. The Bums people would ask me each day: - ell. what did Mrs. Armour re ceive today?" "Last nieht after 10 o'clock when I returned from i-'colla with the body I rushed to Mrs. Armour's house to find her in a perspiration, unnerved and weak from a constant throbbing and vision.

"She told me as she sat up in bed and wired the perspiration from her forehead that Mr. McNutt had been communicating all night and that he would not let her sleep, but told her to comlct the work until the mur derer was found."

The mother said that the only place in town the set could be ob tained from Is the J. K.

MURPHY LAM BASTS J. DARCY 'Spud" Gets Decision in Slashing Go at Dreamland Rink. SA.V FRANCISCO, Oct. 4. (Spe cial.) "Spud" Murphy won a slam bang fight over the four-round route from Jimmy Darcy at Dreamland rink last night that caused the fans to hnrken back to the days of Willie Hoppe and to recall the more recent fcpud Murphy-Battling Ortega match It was a humdinger, and there was no one to question that Murphy was the winner. There was really no science in Murphy'a attack. He miirht as well have shut both eyes and waded In. for that Is just what happened fepudt whaled away with both hands and had a surprising amount of success in connection. He Fhot his left particularly to Darcy's midriffs and the Oregonlan is going to be mighty sore about the atom ach. Darcy didn't seem able to get away from that sort of attack and kept opening his mouth time after" time as Murphy hit him. Don't figure It was altogether a one-sided fight. Darcy put up a great battle and caught Murnhy some nice clips that sent the Irishman back. Spud, however. seemed to thrive on that sort of thing and the harder he was hit the harder he fought back. The whom card was a good one. Tillie Herman and Alec Trambitas. brother of Jimmy Darcy, boxed a draw. Allie Nack was givn the lerdict over Sailor Johnny Webber.

"he Tortland post of the Frlvate Soldiers and Sailors' Legion, newest of all organizations of war veterans, is now on the list- The organization mas formed at a meeting at the court house Friday night, when 30 veterans assembled to form a post iii the na tional society. George E. Sandy presided. The aims of the national society were briefly discussed, and the opinion gen erally expressed that the organiza tion had before it great opportunities for good work. Temporary officers as follows were elected: E. W. Gur band. president: J. W. Kedington, vice-president: W. A. Grondahl, secre tary: Ira Simpson, treasurer. The Private Soldiers' and Sailors' Legion, as it asserts in its declaration of principles, is an organization "of and for the private soldiers, sailors and marines only," and its purpose is to "unite all privates who served In the world war into one fraternal union for the mutual pr tectlon of their rights, the advancement of their Interests and the promotion of their welfare and the fostering and aiding of cordial social and fraternal rela tions."

Colonel Hartz landed Friday afternoon at Loveland, wasn.. near Camp Lewis, ana it is exueticu that he will continue his trip at once although no definite announce ment to that effe-ct has been received. If he does he will probably spend to night In this city. lurh of Flight Uncharted. When Colonel Hartz and his crew of four reached the Pacific coast they completed the first half, and by far the most dangerous half of their trip around the border of this country. They have flown over hundreds of miles of uncharted country, terrain over which the failure of their motors probably would mean the loss of their lives and the destruction ot a ov,uuu airplane. Colonel Harts, who learned to ny at Rockwell field. San Diego, has been far Eome time commander of Boiling field, Washington, D. C, and has been relieved temporarily in order to make this trip. He is a pioneer In as true sense as Christopher coiumDus ana that he has succeeded in overcoming the obstacles which confronted him in flying over the rugged country of the north during a time of the year when weather coiidftions are adverse and discouraging in the extreme is a real tribute to the colonel ana nis crew and to the veteran airpja.no which carries them. Outfit la All-America. The "Around the Rlm" party is an all-American. outfit, crew and plane. Colonel Hartz, commanding officer; Lieutenant Ernest E. Harmon, chiet pilot: Lotha A. Smith, relief pilot and mechanic. John Harding Jr. ana Jeremiah Tobias, sergeants, were all born In this country ana received their training here. The airplane in which they are flying is a united States Martin bomber, one of the de veloDments of the .war, designed by Glenn L. Martin, a Pacific coast prod uct, and built by American laoor with American material n t,ieve-, land. O. i This particular plane, in wnicn Colonel Hartz is making his double tronscontinental trip,, ia a, grtzziea veteran, being the secona juamn bomber ever built. It was turnea over to the war oepartraent on De cember S. 1918, and had pounded on more than 10,000 miles of cross-country flying before this particular trip waa started. When the plane reached the coast it had added another 4000 miles to this record and it is the ambition of Colonel Harta to com plete the trip and return to Boiling field before December 6 of this year. so that the plane will have rolled up the remarkable total of practically 20.000 miles of cross-country flying in Its first year, a record not even ap proached by any other machine. The Martin plane waa chosen tor this trip for a number of reasons. In the first place it Is the largest American-built army plane and carries, in addition to the crew, fuel and equlp- Warlment. nearly 600 pounds of baggage. including two cameras, a granex iocj still pictures and a motion picture camera mounted in the bow. The total weight of the machine and crew Is 9600 pounds, or nearly five tons, a load which a few years ago no one believed could possibly be taken off the ground by a heavier-than-air machine. Object of Trip Tvro-f old. The object of General Menoher, chief of the air service, in sending Colonel Harta and his big bomber oiw this trip is twofold. Ptrst to demonstrate the w.onderful strides that have been made in aviation in the past two years and the ability of airplanes carrying huge loads to ne gotiate long and difficult cross-coun try Journeys with safety. Second, to demonstrate the need lor Digger ana better landing fields all over the country. The only accident to the plane in its first 14,000 miles of ser vice was caused by the rutted and bumpy condition of the landing field at Augusta, Me., which so weakened the landing gear that It crumpled In the Adirondacks. Colonel Harta and his nervy crew feel that the only thing that can possibly keep them from completing their 14,000-mile trip is a repetition of this accident and It Is their duty as missionaries of the commercial aerial age that Is advancinso rapidly to call to the at tention of people all over the country the necessity of building fields which are big enough to make the .landing of big passenger, freight and mail planes, free from danger. Colonel Harts' trip takes him up the Atlantic coast from Washington, D. C, to Maine, across the top of the United States to Seattle, down the Pacific coast via Portland, Sacramen to. San Francisco, Fresno, Bakers field and Los Angeles to San Diego, back across the southern border of the country and the Gulf of Florida,! and then again to the capital liffilillillW : If Ym Have Don't wait for baldness while there is hair to save troubles while you can. Prof. John H. Austin Bacteriologist- Hair and Scalp Specialist of- Chicago is now in Portland in The Owl Drug Store at Broadway, and Washington. He has a private office on . the balcony, where he can be seen any day from 10 to 12 or 2 to 4 P. M. He has devoted forty years to a study of the conditions of the hair and scalp, and has discovered that there are something like sixty different conditions to contend with. Prof. Austin Says: "I do not use an ordinary mi croscope. I use one of the most powerful optical ma chines known to science. There is no microbe so small that its presence cannot be detected. Once the cause is known the relief is a matter of course. But you must be fair with me, with . Nature and with yourself. You must not wait until you are entirely bald. That means that the parasites have done their work. There is nothing left for me or for Nature to work on. The hair roots are dead. It is when the hair begins to fall that you should seek help. The use of, mange cures, hair tonics, vaseline and elixirs is like taking medicine without knowing what you are trying to cure. "Let me find, classify and destroy the bacteria before they destroy the hair roots. Nature will fight long and well, and if given help at the right time will replace the lost hair with new, stronger, thicker and more beautiful hair. I have been successful in many cases of jjatchy baldness where the papilla, or hair root, was still alive. I can help you." During; the past two years Professor Austin has taught thousands of The Owl Drug Company's patrons how to stop falling hair, relieve itching scalp, remove dandruff and put their scalps in p. healthy condition. Both men and women are invited to take advantage of the free microscopic examination of the hair and scalp. Women need not take down their hair.

You need immediate attention based on a proper examination and a thorough and scientific understanding of the conditions you need the advice of Professor Austin, which he will gladly give.

A. H. Averlll. president of the A. H. Averill Machinery company, and Otto Hartwig-, president of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, are two members of the board of arbitration to probe the demands made by the employes of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company. The third member of the board will be selected by the two members. Mr. Averlll is the choice of the com pany, having accepted the post In a longdistance telephone conversation with President Griffith of the com pany fom Seattle Friday. Mr. Hart wig was designated by H. E. Kidney, president of the local union of street railway employes. The naming of arbitrators came after a conference between President Griffith and members of the execu tive committee of the union. The only new feature of the wage demand of . the street car workers was the emphatic denial of charges which had been aired that the com pany was in collusion with members of the union in the present demand to force the public service commis sion to granfthe recent demand for an eight-cent fare. President Griffith, upon hearing these reports, became incensed, say-Ine- that if the last demands were granted the company would be forced j to Charge more man a iu-ceiii laro before any revenue above the amount needed to pay the employes could be obtained. "Out of sheer necessity," said Mr. Griffith, "we would be forced to stop at I operation of the lines if we were forced to pay the demands made by the employes. The money asked is not taken in on the street cars, and how can we be expected to pay it and still operate the cars? To say that the officials of the company are in collusion with the men in this de mand Is absurd." government of Manitoba $1,207,351.65.
