n
three large open air meetings' were
held last night by Rev. S. C. Lapham
- and Bert E. Haney. The speakers ad
dressed big Attentive crowds' at Fourth
and Washington streets, Fourth and Ai
der streets - and Third and Burnslde
,' streets. , The speeches were delivered
from an automobile and the series-lasted
. until 11 o'clock. . , .. .
Rev, Mr. Lapham was for' seven years'
'(pastv of the Second baptist church
of this - My and. is one of the best
known pulpit orators in the northwestt
' Mr Haney ' was tormerly deputy' dis
trict atorney of Multnomah county. ,
.' Both speakers mads earnest pleas for
the election of Judge William N. Gatens
and the nont-politlcal supre'ma court
) , candidates, . Justices King and Slater.
Rev. Mr. Lapham championed the
candidacy of John Manning for congress
' from the second district and opposed
the election of A. W. Lafferty,, his op
T ponent, in remarks vltriolio and direct
H urged his audiences to take into ac
count the long residence of Mr. Man
J nlng In ' this state, his acquaintance
with the affairs of Portland and the
Becond ' Congressional district and his
J( record as apubllo official and a citizen
as particularly i qualifying him to ra
ff present this district at Washington. ' ;
-',, Lafferty an Itinerant.
' On the other hand, he charged A. W.
n Lafferty with being an itinerant '.poll
' ; tlcian, . who had hardly been In this
. state long enough to acquire a legal
residence, who came here as a secret
, service operative for the government
, for the purpose of assisting in thejand
frauhd prosecutions and particularly for
the purpose of harrasslng the late Sena
tor Mitchell. Then the speaker said,
Lafferty left the employ of the gbvern
ment and aproached tha settlers in the
- SUets country, soUcltlng their client
"' age as an attorney, before the general
land office, ' and later, unsuccessfully
represented a large number of the Sllets
', settlers as clients, whom he had pre-
viously; reported against while In the
employ of the government.
The speaker charged the men who
V Lafferty says 'are furnishing-hia cam-
- paign funds, are men directly interested
In the outcome of various cases- now
pending before the general land office,
, ana thus accounted for - their contri
butions to Laf forty's campaign fund.
, ; Cams Ears as Sleuth. J .
, "Do you want a man to represent you
, in congress" asked Mr. Lapham 5"who
, came to this country as a sleuth; who
w later 'abandoned the government that
employed him and took an active in
terest in promoting' the claims of the
very people whom he had reported
against r
; Mr. Lapham declared that , Lafferty
has no Interests In "this district, has
. registered but twice and voted in Oro-
gon but once. The -speaker further
5 gave his audiences' a detailed account
; of the whereabouts and actions of Lat-
. i rerty during the past six years and de
y clared-that Lafferty Is wholly unquall
fied for a congressional station. -Ha
- closed by saying that: .,;
"A man who cannot retain the same
. name for six successive years is a man
whom the people should distrust as a
' congressional , candidate." In this the
speaker referred to the fact that Laf
ferty has at various times held1 hlm
? self out as Arthur W. Lafferty, as W.
A. Lafferty, again, as Amidon W. Laf
ferty and s till, later as Abraham ,W,
Lafferty. ;
3oth Mr. "Lapham and Mr. Haney
strongly urged the election of Oswald
-, West as governor of Oregon and the
"' mention of his -name was 'invariably
greeted with applause.
. The coroner's Jury, Inquiring intd the
death of K. Dollamis, , the Greek la
borer found shot to death Sunday near
the Mount Tabor reservoir, this morn
ing returned w .verdict declaring that
Dojlamis had been murdered, - Respon
sibility for the crime was placed on
Joseph and George Valakis and Constan
tino Costahtakis, three fellow coun
trymen, who had been seen In his com
pany two diys before his disappearance
and who are supposed .to have lured him
to tne spot whore he was found dead
for the purpose of robbery and murder.
- Detectives. Snow and Coleman, who
followed the clues .which cleared up
tne case, were the principal witnesses.
Snow told how the three alleged slayers
went, with Dollarols o - the office of
the paymaster.,-the O. R. & N. rail-i
road where the victim drew .$62 It pay. !
He also declared that Dollamis probably'
had I Z6w additional on his person, which
he carried in the formof '.currency
wrapped in a piece of paper and placed
In his vest pocket, When the body was
found the pocket had been torn as the
murderers In their haste pulled out the
money.; - i : ; .',,: ;- ' 5:" v-
Dollamis has a brother-who is em
ployed On the Bull Run pipeline a few
miles out- from Mount Tabor, and it Is
presumed that the trio went with him
In that direction for the ostensible pur
pose of accompanying him on a visit
to the-brother. The men have since
disappeared and have undoubtedly left
the city.

a crasn, as the rapidly moving machine
struck his miggy. v

said. Miss Hough was" dead and Miss
McCabe badly injured. The automobile
had vanished. , - . , :
Vedder refused to give his name to

motner, he said, was at that time dan
gerously ill and he feared that the
news that he had been nurt might cause

Anna McCabe. one of the occupants
of the wrecked buggy, corroborated the
testimony of Vedder.
Thomas Dolan testified that he was
about 600 yards away when the acci
dent occurred. A few seconds after
the crash, he said, a large automobile
supposedly Rosenhelmer's, dashed past
him. It; was going so rapidly, he said,
that he could not , see the number.

R. R. COMMISSIONERS'
POWER IS LIMITED
Oiympla, Wash., Nov. I. Judge
Mitchell i nthe superior court of Thurs
ton county, has denied the apllcatlon
of Ralph E. Moody, representing the
O. R. & N. company, for a writ of
review of the action of the state tax
commission In assessing ' property in
Washington belonging to this company
at $27,000,000 after the state railway
commission had set the sum at 919.
000,000. Judge Mitchell held that the
law which created - the railroad com
mission did not take away the power
of the tax commission to fix railroad
valuations for the purpose of taxation
and that the railroad commissioners'
power In fixing valuation is merely for
the purpose of fixing transportation
charges and rates, ' , ,
Washington will have a set of prim
ary laws resembling in operation Ore
gon's, as well as a set of officers who
will see that they are protected, If the
predictions of .Tom Page, lawyer and
politician, brother-in-law : and ardent
supporter of Miles A, Poindexter, pome
true. Mr. Page is at the Portland hotel
and Is on his way to Baker City on pri

DID TEACHER WHIP7
PAPA GOES TO SEE
Walter H. Evans, ; assistant United
State! district attorney, bad an en
gagement to lunch ' down town . today
with a friend, but he did not accept it
Instead, he went home for -luncheon,
so that he might interview his two lit
tle girls and find what terrible thing
happened in school today, v
- This mornlng.Mr. Evans promised to
take his children to school in his auto
mobile. But he got a late start and.
when they reached the school house
door the clock showed 8; 18 o'clock. Im
mediately there was small-sized panic
in the tonneau. The Misses Evans re
fused to go to school. They; preferred
being absent to being tardy. The father
got. them out of the: machine three' or
four times, but they immediately
climbed In again. With exceeding tact
he persuaded them , to allow him to
take them to their respective rooms.:
Arriving, the smaller girl found that
her class . was sewing, so she said her
tardiness made ho difference. But with
the older it was different She knew
her absence had been noted. She want
ed to cry, but the stern father said that
would take too much time. As a last
resort he opened the school room door,
gently pushed his young offspring into
the school room, closed the door again
and beat a hasty retreat - Just as he
clicked the door on her drooping figure,
ne neara a peep or anguish.
"I am going home," he announced at
the off lea, "to discover what ' terrible
things teachers do when children are
tardy.- . .' . '.

B0WERMAN TUSSLES
WITH JACK-O'-LANTERN
Jay Bowerman, the assembly candi
date for governor, spoke to a good sized
audience in Jones' hall, at Front and
Gibbs streets, - In South Portland last
night. B, i -Jones was chairman of
the meeting, ind the speakers In addi
tion to Bowerman were liionel R, Web
ster and 1 County Judge , T. J. Cleeton.
Webster was first introduced, but
cut short his remarks and gave way to
Bowerman. The candidate for governor
made his usual speech, and although
Halloween had passed he devoted much
of his time to the Bourne hobgoblin. He
said that Bourne was after him, and
he denounced the.Juhlor senator In fiery
terms because Bourne did, not support
assembly candidates.
Bowerman told his 'hearers he was
bom on a farm and has always been
one of ' the . people He defended his
legislative record and denied that be Is
dominated by corporation influence. He
made another , bid fpr the support of
tne railroad men by saying he favors

The old dage, "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy," applies Just as
well to the stomach, one of the most
Important organs of the human system,
as it does to the man, himself.
If yous stomach is worn out and re
bels against being further taxed beyond
its limit the only sensible thing you
can do la to rive it a rest. Emmoy a
substitute for a short time and see If
It will not more than repay you in re
sults. - - ,-
Stuart's Dvsnensia Tablets are a will
ing and most efficient substitute. They

the stomach in Just the same way that
tha stomach ltseir would, were it wen
They contain all the essential elements
that- the gastric Juice and other di
gestive fluids of the stomach contain

Just .the same work as the natural
fluids would do. were the stomach well
and sound. They, therefore, relieve
the stomach. Just as one workman re
Uevea another, and permit It to rest
and recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength.
This "vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer In
Chicago. Read what he says: "I was
engaged irt the most momentous under
taking of my life in bringing about the
coalition of certain great Interests that
meant much to me as well as my cli
ents. It was not the work of days but
of months; I was working night and
day almost when at a very critical
time my stomach went clear back, on
me. The undue mental strain brought
it about and hurried up what would
have happened later on.
"What I ate I had to literally force
down ad that was a source of misery
as I had a sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached, I was sluggish
and began to lose , my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1 It looked
pretty gloomy for me and I confided
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to a
drug store and brought a box up to
the office. .
"I had not taken a quarter of that
bfix before I found that they would do
all the work my stomach ever did:
and as a rest or vacation was out of
the question for me, I determined ' to
give my stomaoh a vacation. - I kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
up and went ahead with my work with
renewed vigor, ate Just as much as I
ever did and carried out that under
taking to a successful Issue. I feel that
I have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to
thank for saving me the handsomest
fee I ever received, as well as my repu
tation and last, but not least my
stomacn.
