Couch WOMAN RECITES HER BATTLE WITH INDIAN OVER DEAD HUSBAND For Two Hours She Fought Him Off, Finally Escaping to Fresno; Admits Murder. OTHER SUSPECT CLEARED Brayton A. Douglas, Wlo, Indian Said, ZClred Him to Uardtr Hendnon, Expects to Be Xreed Tonight. (United Prr-m Leased Wire. Fresno, CaL, March 9. Brayton A. Douglas will be released this afternoon and cleared of suspicion of connection with the murder in the hills near here of "Alligator Jack" Henderson if a trip Into the mountains undertaken by Sheriff Walter McSwaln today does not disclose further evidence against him. Douglas, who was accused by Jeff Lewis, Indian, and confessed slayer of Henderson, of having paid the Indian $100 to commit the mur der, so that Douglas might marry Mrs. Henderson, is confident that he soon will be free. Feeling runs high against Iiewls to day following his appearance ; before Justice George Graham yesterday, when he pleaded guilty to the charge of murder. The proceedings were brief, lasting only 22 minutes. Lewis was asked only two questions: "Did you kill John V. Henderson on Wednesday night, February 24 ?" "Yes." "Have you any witnesses whose tes timony you now wish to have pre sented?" "No." That was all. The confessed mur derer stepped down from the witness chair and Mrs. Henderson, , widow of the slain man, took the stand. In a voice so low that nobody in (the crowd ed courtroom excepting Judge Graham and the lawyers could hear she de scribed again the scene In her hus band's cabin in the mountains when Lewis attacked and murdered Hender son. She told of her two hour struggle with the Indian before she escaped to Fresno to give the alarm. Lewis was bound over for trial in the superior court. ' Unless the Indian is able to sub stantiate his charge against Brayton Douglas today, Douglas will be freed. Sheriff McSwain expects that his trip over the mountains today will lead him to the "higher-up" whom he suspects of having used Lewis as a tool. His plan is believed to be to confront the suspect and if possible get a confession. Shoshone, Am. str ....Rainier Johan Poulsen, Am. str Irving Vessels Disengaged.

Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Just; plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing,, as this can't ppssiblw injure the hair. 1 . . . j " ; ; Simply moisten your- hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make: an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and -scalp thar-i oughly. The lather rinses out, easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and exces sive oil. The hair dries quickly! and evenly, and it leaves it fine and1 silky, bright, . fluff y and easy to' manage. - . '.::! -.Ton can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is verv cheap, snd a tew ounces ls! enough to last everyone in the fam ily for months. Adv. , t - ' HOT 7AS '" Mrs. Highbrow I hear that Mr. Rimelinx is getting out a new book of verse.

Hotel Men Make Reception Plans Efforts Will Be Made to Induce Snrin ers' and Elks' Delegations to Stop In Portland for One Whole Bay. Portland hotel men are making preparation of the entertainment of many prominent delegations that will bo in Portland this year. At a meet ing of the Portland members of the Oregon State Hotel association, held at the Imperial yesterday afternoon, it was decided to make an effort to induce the delegates to the Shriners' annual convention at Seattle and also a delegation of Elks which is coming to the coast to stop over in Portland 24 hours instead ot six. The coopera tion of the Commercial club will be sought in this matter. President M. C. Dickinson appointed a committee of three to provide en tertainment for the 125 members of the Hotel Mutual Benefit association, who are scheduled to be in Portland May 20. The visitors are coming from New York and other eastern cities. President Dickinson appointed H. C. Lowers, Phil Metschan.Jr. and Dr. C. W. Cornelius. Phil Bates and Emery Olmstead dis cussed with the hotel men the finan cial needs of the Rose Festival asso ciation.

Al Jones and Frank Meredith, incumbent, were the o,iily candidates mentioned in con nection with the place. President Booth and members- Hatch, Jones and West are present, and Mrs,. Weatherred is absent. It will take three votes to elect a secretary, and it Is said Jones has West and Booth. If Hatch should swing to Jones, his election is probably assured. However, it was the understanding that Hatch would stick with Meredith. Mrs. Weatherred will not be here. The board today voted to permit automobile races on the state fair track during the summer.

ROAD BOND ISSUE IS GIVEN APPROVAL BY COMMERCIAL CLUB (Continued From Page One.) manent roads in this county to the amount of $1,250,000, to run and be payable as follows: One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars each year, from' date of bonds and ending 14 years from date of bonds, inclusive. The aforesaid bonds shall bear interest a not to exceed 5 per cent per annum. "We further petition that the money so raised be spent In hard surfacing the following main trunk highways in this county, to-wit: The Sandy road from the city limits of Portland to Sandy river, and the Columbia high way from the Sandy road to east line of the county; the Base Line road from city limits to Troutdale cross road; the Powell Valley road , from city limits of Portland to Greshaxn; the Foster read from city : limits of Portland to south line of the county; the Slavin road froir the city Hmit3 of Portland to the county line; the Canyon road from the city, limits of Portland to the county line; the St. Helens' road from Twenty-ninth street in city of Portland to city of Llnnton." Expense Is Compensated. After the presentation of the peti tion to the board of county commis sioners and its acceptance, the legal requirement is that 20 days must elapse before the special election can be held. This will bring the date early in April. The cost of a special election will, it is estimated, approximate $16,000, but it is figured that if the Improvement is ordered this expense will be more ltlian compensated by the time saved in ui.ii.iinif, wit; vYuia. aiu Lilts leuucilVil of maintenance cost for the year. The item of oiling roads last year alone cost the county $18,0U0. While the petition is being circu lated Roadmaster Teon will complete his estimates of the cost for each Indi vidual road. These amounts must be set forth in the formal call for the election, but they are "not required to be included in the petition. Serial Bonds score Marketable. By choosing serial bonds a great saving will be made in interest charges, and, besides it is the opinion of .those dealing in bonds that the serial form will be more marketable. According to the law providing for bond issues in the ordinary form a sinking fund can be established at the end of the fifth year. This sinking fund can be either loaned to the banks and draw 2 per cent interest or be in Vested In real- estate. If deposited in banks there is a loss pf 3 per cent, as the Interest on the bonds is 6 peir cent. If invested in. real estate there is a liability of complication when redemp tion time comes. With serial bonds the maturity of the bonds is made to correspond with the. sinkingi fund ana the bond is taken up without loss of 'interest Commencirtg with the fifth year one tenth, or the issue will be taken up, and one tenth each year thereafter. The average life of the bonds will be 10 years. According to a compilation based on the present assessed valuation . the cost of the bond issue will be 38 cents for principal, and 18 cents for Interest each year on each $1000 of assessed valuation. t For the 10 year term the total cost to' each, taxpayer who is assessed $1000 will be $5.60.

To do this. Just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff- will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how; much dandruff you may have. You will find too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy. silky and soft, end look and feel a hundred times better. Tou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you . -will need. This bimple remedy has never been known to fail. , ; , (Adv.)

St. Johns Park addition 1.475 SALTS IN HOT WATER CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN Says we must make kidneys clean the blood and pim - pies disappear. i Pimples, sores and boils usually re sult from toxins, poisons and impuri ties which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into., the blood throughj 'the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. I It Is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood mnd cast theni out In the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels cre ate more toxins, and Impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skfn pores as the next best means of getting rid of these im purities which often break out all over the skin In the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted authority, is to get from any. pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonf ul in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins In the bowels. It also stimu lates the kidneys to normal activity, thus? coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin' of pimples. Jad Salts is- inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lenion juice,, combined, with llthia. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which ssually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent for the kidneys-as well. Ad. SPECIALIST EXPLAINS CAUSE OF STOMACH TROUBLE VALUABLE ADVICE TO STJXTEfeEBS "There "are many different forms of stomach - trouble," said a well known specialist recently, "but practically all are traceable to excessive acidity and food fermentation. That is why the re sults, obtained from the use of drugs are usually so disappointing. Admitting fermentation and consequent acidity of the food contents to be the underlying cause of-most forms of Indigestion, It naturally follows that the use of a re liable antacid, such as the pure blsu rated magnesia which is so frequently prescribed by physicians will produce better results than any known drug or combination of drugs. Accordingly I almost invariably advise those who complain Of digestive trouble to get some ; bisurated magnesia - (note the name carefully, as other forms are un suitable 'for this purpose), from their druggist, and take from, one to two teaspoonfuls-of the powder, or two 6 grain compressed tablets, with a little water after meals. This by Immediate ly neutralizing the acid and stopping the fermentation, removes the cause of all the trouble and insures normal and healthy digestion." Adv.
