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.
The splendid showing made by the
Oregon soldiers at this camp is in
large measure due to the splendid type
of instructors and commanding offi
cers in charge of the organisation.
Colonel Dentler, the senior inspector-
instructor, is considered in army
circles as one of the ablest officers
In the United States army, while Ma
jor Dusenberry, attached to the ar
tillery, has had a wide experience 'in
this branch, commanding the 65th ar
tillery regiment which saw service on
several different fronts in France.

MOSLEMS MAY BOYCOTT
HINDU HELP WANTED TO GET
EASIER TREATY TERMS.
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. They also hold that
the sultan, as their .religious head.
should have complete control of Con
stantinople.

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. This dis
tressing condition is caused by worry
more often than by any other one
thing. Overwork and worry invite
the disorder.
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. Y if you mention this

TO
MRS. CASH'S DEATH.
Seattle Police Send Out Cal
for
E. F. Jacobs, Wlio Occupied
..Room In Which .Woman Died.
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. When the body
was found her purse contained only
11.97, according to Dr. W. H. Corson,
chief deputy coroner.
Jacobs left the hotel Tuesday
morning, presumably to go to Van
couver. B. 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

in her re-.

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.

"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-

"MONEY" MADE TOO EASILY
Ingenious Machine Displayed After
Arrest of Operators.
SPOKANE. July 17. An Ingenious
"money-making" machine which ap
parently manufactured money with
rapidity, ease and in unlimited quan
tities was on display here today fol
lowing the arrest yesterday of two
men who were bound over to the
United States grand jury on charges
of photographing United States ob

ties assert, operated the machine be
fore credulous countrymen and were
making fine progress in selling it,
until they photographed real cur
rency, which they pulled from the
"busines send" of the contrivance.
Sight of the brand-new currency, the
officers declared, always resulted in
a riot over who should-have the priv
ilege of buying the machine. Inci
dentally the new money brought
about tthe arrest of the "makers,"
who were held under $5000 bonds.
