The governor will return home to morrow after spending three days in the post inspecting all the units and going into every detail of the work being done by the Oregon troops.

Britain Is Object of Scheme Pre pared to Force Issue in Ear East. NEW YORK, July 17 Drastic action through : a . "non-co-operation move ment" is planned In India among the Moslems with Hindu assistance to force the government to take action toward securing such modification of the Turkish peace treaty as will make it more acceptable to the Mosle-m world, according to advices received here today by the Indian Information bureau. On August 1, it is stated by M. K. Gandhi, a prominent leader in India of the Satyagraha (passive resistance) movement, the newly. . devised non- co-operation movement is to be put into effect if by that time a favorable reply is not received from the Indian government. This movement, should the plans for. it become . effective, would be carried out in four progres sively serious stages, thus: First Giving up all titles and hon ors conferred by the crown; , Second Resignation from all gov ernment offices and from the legisla tive branch ; Third Resignation of officers and soldiers from all army duties; Fourth Refusal to pay taxes. The Moslems, it is indicated, hold that the treaty as it now stands will injuriously affect Moslem prestige all over the world.

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION Irritability, oversensitiveness, a dis position to worry over trifles, head ache, dizziness these are symptoms of nervous exhaustion, neurasthenia. Very often the patient feels best and brightest at night. Rest seems to bring no refreshment, the nervous system, fails, to recuperate.

The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic tonic As the nerves get their nourishment from the blood, the treat ment must be directed toward build ing up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest, benefit in many cases or neurasmema. a ten dency to anemia or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients is also corrected by these tonic pills. lour own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail at 80 cents per box. Begin the treatment at once before your condi tion becomes chronic. A useful book, "Diseases of the Nervous System," will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Sche nectady, N.

SEATTLE, -Wash., July 17. (Spe cial.) Efforts to locate E. F. Jacobs, vanished occupant of 'a room in the Barker hotel, in which Mrs. Clemen tine Cash of Ashland, Or., was found dead ednesday afternoon, were re doubled today when it was learned that Mrs. Cash had MOO when she left Portland on July 1.

C, where he had been em ployed.. He said, on leaving, that his "wife" was ill in the room and asked that hotel attendants leave her un disturbed. Telegraph orders sent by Captain of Detectives- Tennant to Vancouver authorities to arrest -and interview Jacobs have brought, no response from the Canadian city. Although incomplete chemical anal ysis of the contents of Mrs. Cash's stomach and ihe dregs of three bot tles found at the bedside show only traces of inferior alcohol, authorities here are not natisfied that the poi sonous stuff might not have been given to her v.-ith the deliberate in tention of doirg away with her. The missing MOO now furnishes, for the first time, a possible motive for crime Mrs.- Cash was not known to have possessed such a sum until her husband, Charles E. Cash, reached here from Ashland.

E Refuge Only Place That Would Take Bruised Babies. CHILDREN WILL RECOVER Mrs. Swanton to Equip End or Dog Kennel to Accommodate Injured Kiddies If Xecessary. Three babies, all dirty, all hungry, all In actual pain from recently in flicted bruises and cuts, remained in the offices of the Oregon Humane so ciety in the courthouse from 11 A. M. until 5 P. M. last Thursday with only such food as kind-hearted attaches bought at a corner candy store, with out regard for Its fitness for children of tender yeacs, and with no bed but a makeshift pallet of coats and a blanket on two wooden office chairs solely because Portland baby homes refused to hage anything to do with the little sufferers unless application for their entrance came through offi cial channels. . Public indignation over the case of the "farmed-out" babies taken from the home of Mrs. Rita A. Mathus by humane society officers Is expected to cause a radical change of policy In local baby homes, so that future emer gency cases will be taken care of promptly without the Interference of redtape. Most ,of Thursday afternoon . was spent by Mrs. F. W. Swanton, general manager of the humane society, on the telephone endeavoring to locate a baby home which would take the youngsters, bathe them, dress their injuries and give them clean clothes and a place to sleep until they were claimed by their mothers. She unsuccessful, and when places were found for the two baby sisters, for whom the mother had not called, it was through the efforts of Rev. W. G. MacLaren of the Portland Com mons, who succeeded in placing them temporarily in the Louise home, a rescue refuge for fallen girls. Tola Cared For. ! The Louise home had facilities to1 care for the tots, aged 1 and 3 years, as many of the girls at ihat institu tion had babies there. The Waverly baby home, the Alber tina Kerr nursery and the Children's home In South Portland all flatly re fused to open their doors to the waifs without authority from the president or secretary of the institution or the court of domestic relations. None of the officers could be found, and Mrs. Swanton did not wish the children placed there by order of the domestic relations court because of the knowl edge that the mothers might claim them at any time and should not be prevented by redtape from doing so. "We have never had a tag day of any kind," declared Mrs. Swanton yesterday, "but we have a kennel for injured animals, and I am going to try to raise -enough money, if neces sary, to have one end of the' kennel equipped to care for hurt babies, if baby homes of this city do not alter their regulations so that they can take care of emergency cases.. . Baby Homea Scored. Concerning her efforts to place the suffering babies last Thursday, Mrs. Swanton said yesterday: "Without any thought but that the. babes would be welcomed and cared for at any of our baby homes, I did not even telephone at first, but , took the youngsters direct to the Albertina Kerr nursery. The matron there was a trifle indignant that I should have presumed to bring the children there at all. "She said she simply could not take them In -unless 1 had a permit from the court of domestic relations. And further, -she -said, there was mumps in the nursery, though she did not give that as the chief reason for refusal. - I told her that It was not a ques tion of putting thel mutilated, dirty and hungry little children there per manently, but only to let them be cared for, fed and given - a place to BABYHOM S SCORED BY HUMANE OFFICIAL i O A. service, o bo worthy, must be considerate of ihe wishes of hose who require H.

I asked her if she had any thing babies could eat, as the young sters plainly were hungry. She brought me some graham crackers for the children, and we left. "Back to the humane society offices I came wljh the children. It was hot and stufy there, and curious people thronged the rooms. I telephoned the Waverly baby home. The matron there told me, "I cannot accept children un less you get a permit from the presi dent or secretary of the home.' I tried to telephone Mrs. Allison, but whoever answered the telephone said she was out of the city. I then tried to get the secretary, but could get no answer to my calls. Refuge Provides Home. "Then I tried "the Children's home in South Portland. Jhe matron there referred me to the president or sec retary for a permit, but frankly com mented, 'We are full to the doors, anyway, and couldn't take the chil dren, even if you get the consent of the officers. "It was then about 3 o'clock, and I telephoned Mr. MacLaren as a last resort, and he promised to get me place for the children within an hour and a half, and I left the matter in his hands. He made the arrangements with the Louise home." Little Edna and Verna Felton Ro- manskl are still at the Louise home.
