Fear that Dr. 3. D. Fenton, 'well known Portland physiolan and sur geon, hns met with foul play or haa wandered away during a period of melancholia brought about by ill health was expressed yesterday by members of the family, who called in the police to assist in a search for the missing physician. , Dr. Fenton has been missing from his home, 654 East Broadway, since early last Sunday night, and members of the family were unable to account for his continued absence. Probably the last person to see the missing physician was I O. Kalston, 608 Market street, who said last night that when on his way home either last Wednesday or Thursday night he had passed Dr. Fenton at the cor ner of Chapman and Jefferson streets. Mr. Ralston has known the doctor for many years and said he is positive of identification. Pliynlclnn Walks Slowly. "My car had been giving me a little trouble and I didn t pay as much at tentlon to the circumstance as I hould have," said Mr. Ralston. "Sev eral times I have passed Dr. Fenton on the street and have always called out a greeting, but this time he was on the oppoosite side of the street, and I didn't like to stop my automo bile on the grade, so I didn't say hello. I hadn't heard at the time that he was being sought." The physician walked Blowly, said Mr. Ralston, and appeared to be buried in thought. George Breslin, Cape Horn, Wash., merchant, late last night telegraphed Vancouver police, who transmitted the message to Portland police head quarters, that a man answering the description of the physician had en tered his store Friday at 6 P. M. and inquired whether or not the town of fered lodging ' accommodations for one person. The storekeeper told po lice he had forgotten what reply he made to the query, as he was busy at the time. Mr. Breslin also declared that after seeing a published photo graph of Dr. Fenton, he was certain that he was the stranger. Cape Horn is located approximately 30 miles east of Vancouver and is on the Columbia river. Health Extremely Poor. Dr. Fenton had been in extremely poor health for nearly a year and had brooded considerably over his ill health. It was nearly three moqths ago that he gave up his practice and spent some time in a sanitarium. Ho has been afflicted with an In testinal trouble which other physi cians in Portland have been unable to diagnose definitely,, and this disease has preyed constantly upon his mind. Members of the family continue to hold out hope that Dr. Fenton has left the city unannounced for some sani tarium or health resort in a deter mination to better his physical con dition. He has been urged repeatedly during the past few months to take just such a step, Inqnlrles Made at Seattle. The police have made Inquiries at Seattle, where relatives reside, and tht-y are likewise directing their in quires to health resorts and sani toria. Dr. Hicks C. Fenton, a brother of the missing man, -believes that Dr. Fenton has gone away to some se cluded place for a complete rest and thus his whereabouts will be learned within a short time. Members of the family scout the theory that he might ha.ve taken his life because of his illness, although it is considered pos sible that his mind may have become temporarily deranged because of his serious condition. Dr. Fenton is 68 years old and has been one of the leading physicians of the city for many years. He has a sen and daughter, both of this city. His wife died several years ago. He has three brothers, Drs. Hicks C. and Matthew F. Fenton. and W. D. Fen ton, all of this city. When last seen Sunday night Dr. Fenton was wearing a black overcoat and a gray-striped suit. He wore a tan soft hat. Dr. Fenton weighs about 170 pounds, has dark hair and a gray mustache. STRIKE IS NOT EXPECTED Portland Not Likely to Be Involved In Packers' Walkout. That the strike vote now being taken in the packing plants at Chi cago and other middle west points will not affect the Portland plant of Swift & Co. was the belief expressed yesterday by B. C. Darnall, manager. Mr. Darnall said that so far as he knew no vote was being taken here and he did not bellrve impossible that a sympathetic strike would develop here, even should the workmen In the mlddle'west go on strike. Mr. Darnall said that a large per centage of the butchers in the local plant are organized and he expressed the belief that probably a fourth of the unskilled laborers in the plant were members of the union. There has been no reduction of wages in the Portland plant in con junction with the general drop In the middle west. PUBLIC DANCE IS TABOO McMlnnville Councllmen Pass Law Over Major's Veto.

TOOLS 1Y FORM CLEW BLACK3IAIL-IXG IMPLEMENTS THOUGHT SHADOW'S. f Lessons From Experiences in City Believed to Have Been Worked in Olympla Attempt. Blackmailing implements collected at Olympia, Wash., are regarded as additional evidence tending to identify Herbert L. Johnstone as the Port land "Shadow." Johnstone, now under arrest In Los Angeles, has confessed to an attempt to extort $10,000 from George Mottman, Olympia merchant, and the equipment he used in his blackhand operat'ons there, is now in the possession of the police. Assuming that Johnstone is also the Portland "Shadow," the batteries, connected by 35 feet of wire to the flashlight Indicate that Portland de tectives taught him a lesson. He flashed the light for Mottman while 35 feet away from it, thus taking no chance if the light were shot at. . The chisel In the picture was used to cut a barbed-wire fence along the railroad right of way. A wire fence was cut at the Portland rendezvous of the "Shadow." Similarity of work Is considered as circumstantial evidence by the police. The hat was. lost by the blackmailer when American Legion" members of Olympia attempted his capture. The rifle Is a 22-caliber automatic, while the handkerchief Is an Improvised blackjack. Johnstone Is alleged to have told a friend In Olympia that It was diffi cult to obtain a revolver there, but that in Portland it was an easy mat ter, if one had the price. The rifle Is said to have been borrowed. Mottman was not threatened with outright death. The printed letter, which he received informed him that his store had been mined with ex plosives, and unless the money was forthcoming, they would be set off by electricity. Upon payment of the money the blackhander agreed to write him the location of the various plants of explosives. Students Begin Easter Recess. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove, Or., March 19.

Regains Strength Goes Out Fishing Back to Business Laughs at "URIC ACID" How the "Inner Mysteries" Reveals Startling Facts Overlooked by Doctors and Scientists for Centuries "I am eighty-three years old and I doc tored for rheumatism ever since I came out of the army over fifty years ago," writes J. B. Ashelman. "Like many others, I spent money freely for so-called 'cures,' and I have read about 'Uric Acid' until I could almost taste it I could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff I could not hold a pen. But now. as If by magic. I am again in active business and can walk with ease or write all day with comfort. Friends are surprised, at the change." HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. Ashelman is only one of thousands who suffered for years, owing to the gen eral belief in the old. false theory that "Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This er roneous belief Induced him and legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might Just as well at tempt to put out a fire with oil as to try and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints, by taking treatments supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. Many physicians and sci entists nov know that Uric Acid never did. never can and never will cause rheuma tism; that ;it is a natural and necessary constituent of the blood; that It Is found In every new-born babe; and that without it we could not live! These statements may seem strange to some folks, who have all along been led to believe in the old "Uric Acid" humbug. It took Mr. Ashelman iifty years to. find out this truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism, other disorders, and recover his strength from "The Inner Mysteries," a remarkable book now being distributed free by an authority who devoted over twenty years to the sci entific study of this particular trouble. NOTE: If any reader of The Oregonian wishes the book that reveals these facts regarding the true cause and cure of rheu matism, facts that were overlooked by doo tors and scientists for centuries past, sim ply send a post curd or letter to H. P. Clearwater. No. 210-H Street, Hallowell,, Maine, and It will be sent by return mail without any charge, whatever. Cut out this notice lest you forget.
