With careless disregard for superstl- ! ...... n CHaa Pl.UitftiirurtM U-'nvA Jauntily a cap in which two other avia tors had fallen to their deaths, as ha ' embarked with his -bride an hour after , their wedding yesterday on a honey inoon trip by aeroplane. His brother, an aviator chum, and other friend of himself and his wife, ; who before they, were married at the -King Hill apartment at 3 o'clock in the afternoon by the Rev. W. A, Breok, was . Mrs. Emma Becker, were at Bundy'a , "."bathhouse, wher. the aeroplane, was moored, to see the start. ' The aeroplane, resting on its black ; Iontoon, skifflike attachment, was - placed on the water, Christofferson tucked his bride in the Bent beside his " own.'twted hlg planes and motor,, and climbed to his place. ' . . Wears fateful Cap. "Wait,-1 want a cap," he said, and his brother, HarryHtook off the one he , vas wearing and stepped up to hand it to him, ; 'Twro men wore this cap be- , fore me and they're both dead now, Harry-remarked half Jestingly, half grimly. "Freddy Walsh wore it a year ' ago when he fell out of the iky, and Gilt had it when he dropped at Chicago a couple of months ago. They were both pood men." . But Silas Christofferson was not su perstitious. " He only grinned and ad- Justed the cap of ill repute on his head, ins wife did not fear it either. Another test of the planes to the motor' rattling volley, a look at hi pink cheeked bride sitting Coty beside , turn, and he was ready. T ,' '.. Make Tine Start. ' "All right let her go," shouted Silas ChmtOf fereon to thoss holding the plane. There was a whir and rush and vi roar. The light craft rode out into the river. A moment later as It gath (red speed Christofferson elevated the planes, with an unhurried, graceful movement the aeroplane lifted, skimmed the water, rose a little higher, then went . vp ana tip ana up. Another minute and Silas Christoffer son and his bride, principals in as ro mantic nd strange a honeymoon tour as any couple ever took, were flying . siae oy siae as nign as the clouds. The air was calm near the river, but ', there was a stiff breeze with a -cold fcip to It aloft. Because of this and tuV lateness of the 'starting hour, they .had decided "hefore they left the float rtot to take the trip up the Columbia river Until later in the week. They flew over the Willamette valley nearly half , an hour .though, before they put back Into the floating port Attendants at Wedding. At the wedding yesterday afternoon, , which followed a romantic Stroplane courtship, Mrs. E. Blssner, a elster of the bride, was matron of honor. E. W 'Hammer, aviator, partner and chum of Christofferson, was best man. Others ,, present at the ceremony were Mrs. O. C. Ulter an,d Mrs. Monroe Goldstein, friends of the bride, and C. M.

MAIL; 3 PHYSICIANS IN NET (Continued From Page One.) trlct attorneys office and postal In spectors, both of Portland and other olnts in the state, have been working them out for months. When the Sep tember grand Jury was In session, the evidence against the Portland men was brought up and the indictments re turned. The government order to pro ceed against the people of this class was issued early in the summer. The date for the simultaneous arrests all over the country was originally October 15. Then, because investigations had not been en tirely completed "in some sections, the date was moved forward until Novem ber 20. Final word t proceed was re ceived last week by District Attorney John McCourt. The regular grand Jury in Portland considered the cases and returned the Indictments, but In -Spo kane, Tacoma and Seattle, as well as other points throughout the country, special grand Juries were secured for the investigations. United States Marshal Act Realizing that the arrpsts wrfuld be made in New York as well as in Ore gon, and that the difference In time, if neglected, might give the local law violators a hint of what ways com ing and allow them to get away, United States Marshal Scott ordered the arrests to be made at 7 o'clock this Tiornlng. Promptly at that hour the five men were taken Into custody. Dr. Stott was arrested by Deputy Marshal 1L M, Dukea. Deputy Marshal Leonard Beck er arrested Dr. Atwood and Deputy Mar shal Griffith arrested Dr. Ausplund and Airs. E. M. White. T. J, Pierre wne taken into custody by Deputy Marshal Fred Beatty. The uulntet was taken entirely by surprise, and some of them did not know the nature of the charge until they had been In oustody for several hours. There are four counts against Dr. J, 8. Stott. Dr. C. H. T. Atwood, who has offices io southeast Portlands has one charge against him. He is said to .have- been implicated In a maternity hospital case several years ago. which resulted; in decision in his favor being alven In tb supreme court. Punishment Is Provide. One count is lodged against Dr. Aus plund. T. J. Pierce, against whom the indictment registered three counts,, has Jaeen running an "electric treatments" parlor at 245 V4 Morrison street. Al though calling himself "Doctor," he was never a qualified member of the medical profession, Mrs. E. M. White is a stenographer for a real estate firm in the Chamber of Commerce building, but she is said to hjive been conducting a business of selling remedies of this class on the Bide. She has been rep resenting a prominent east side drug gist supply company. Evidence for the Indictments was se cured by the potofflce inspectors. From other towns nearby, they answered ad vertisements of these and other phy sicians and companies. The letters the Inspectors received in answer furnish the basis for the prosecutions. .Other cases of similar nature are be ing Investigated and more indictments on the same charge are promised before many days have passed. It was staled this morning at the federal building that work by the government against vio lators of the postoffice statute pro hibiting the sending of obscene liter ature through the malls, has Just com menced. The law provides a punishment of five years' imprisonment, ,$5000 fine, or both, on each count INVESTIGATION CARRIED ON A TTHE SAME flME ALL OVER THE COUNTRY (Continued From Page One.) street, and Dr. J.

Wetzel was aUo ara'igned and bonds were fixed at $500. An arrest which the federal officials consider one of the most Important was that 'tt Dr. C. W. Blackburn in Petaluma. Blackburn is charged with operating under the aliases of Walter B. Blackburn the Victor Chemical company- and ths Blackburn Drug company.- He has held the offices of public administrator and ooroner of Sonoma county and is ons oi ma most prominent meo In the coun- try.

In his address, speaking on ths sub ject of "Judicial ProceTlttrai" Judge Kavanaugh made his plea for Judicial reforms as well as reforms in the legal profession generally, with much " ear nestness. In part, he said;. , Judicial Befonns Jreedsd. "Wa ought to take up seriously the question of reform In legal procedure, In measures as well as men. Our pres ent system of pleading and evidence and trial and appellate procedure demand Immediate' and thoroughgoing reform. Hules of practice and evidence are use ful only so far as they promote Justice and facilitate the conduct of trials in an orderly and expeditious way. These ruled wore designed to enforce Justice, but In practical experience, they often defeat Justice. "Why cannot we establish a system of pleading tfhlch will consist of a con cise, simple .statement of cause and de fense without necessity of observing all the refined- and artificial distinctions imposed by the present practice? That system works well In Canada, arid it has removed from the Canadian courts muny of the miscarriages of Justice that occur in our own, "Why cannot legal and equitable reme dies and defenses be enforced in a single proceeding, and thus adjust all the rights of the parties at one hearlna? Dilatory pleas should not be permitted. and no demurrer ought to be considered except upon the sworn affidavit of E TELL OF NEEDED - LAWS United States . Senator-elect Harry Lane. and Congressman A. W. Lafferty were the chief speakers last night at a smoker of the Workingmen's Political Dr. Iane was first introduced by the chairman, William Mackenzie, and mads only a short talk. In which he said he asked the assistance, of all good clti sens in the efforts he Intends to make for government In the interest of ths average cftlsen.I .The chairman ' had said that all ths workers ask of any public officer In legislation Is a square deal for all, and Dr. Lane said that for hlmseir he would find It easy to comply with that sort of request. Congressman Lafferty spoke at length, reviewing his record in - con- gress and defending the attitude he has taken In connection with the Oret gon & California land grant case. ., He also' stated that he would ask ths legislature of the state at the coming session to provide that all taxes paid on lands contained In the grant and all Interest thereon be placed In a special fund until the litigation la ths federal courts Is ended, and If the theory of for feiture Is Sustained the money paid for taxes be returned to the railroad com pany. This plan, said Mr. Lafferty, will prevent the railroad from building up an equitable defense to harass the gov ernment in case the suit for forfeiture is won. The speaker also advocated the passage by the legislature of an eight hour law to. govern work In fac tories department stores and other employment, except In ths home and on the farms. Others who spoke during the evening were Joseph H. Jones, Justice of ths peace elect; County Commissioner Llghtner; M. J. Murnane, member of ths next legislature, and $V W.

After declaring that Oregon laxa far behind other states in not providing for enough judges to keep the dockets cleared. Judge Kavanaugh said it was the plain duty of the Bar association Itself to work actively to bring about reforms.
