! Seeking regular services for our

Bay City Dispatches Delayed Craft
i Few Taken to Canal.
San Francisco, May .1. After con
siderable difficulty In securing a crew,
the British hlp Vawry succeeded In
getting to sen yesterday. With a
crew of about eiaht ablubodied sea
men and a score of failures at otner
trades, she went out-bound for the
United Kingdom via the Horn.
The Talus, with an equally nonde
script crew, probably will get out to
morrow. The Mrltlsh Yeoman, under
direction of Balfour. Cuthrie & Co.,
Will tow out this morning.
. The 'British Yeoman will tow hence
to and througn the canal and far
' enough to sea on the other side to
catch fair wind. The cost of this tow
ing and canal tolls will come to $SOUo.
But at least three months will be
saved and the British Yeoman, weath
er and submarines permitting, will
reach port and make another ocean
voyage long before either the Yawry
or the Talus get within sight of Al
bion. .

PANCHO VILLA HIDING
T OF
Funston Intimates Leader. of
Expedition Knows Exact
Location of Bandit Leader,
El Paso, Texas, May 6. (T. N. S.)
Francisco Villa, bandit and outlaw,
sought by the expeditionary forces of
the United States, is hiding in the state
of Durango.
Brigadier General John J. Pershing,
commanding the American expedition
ary forces. Informed Major General
Frederick Funston today that he had
reliable Information to this effect.
Funston, however, refused to reveal
Villa's exact whereabouts, although he
intimated it was known to Pershing.
From an authoriatlve source, how
ever, it was learned that General Per
shing believes Villa Is concealed on
the rancli of Otto Franck, an Aus
trian, at Santa Catallna. Durango.
General Funston is elated over the
outcome of the conferences he and
General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of
the United States army, held with Gen
eral Obregon.
"It Is all over but the shouting,"
he said. "Carranza made surprising
concessions. There is a possibility of
new Instructions from Mexico City
complicating matters, but we think
nothing Is left to be done now but to
ratify and sign the agreement at to
day's formal conference."
.The probabilities were that this
afternoon's meeting will be brief. It
will be held in the immigration build
ing here.
General Obregon intends to leave for
Mexico City soon; General Funston
will return to San Antonio, but. Gen
eral Scott may visit Columbus. N. M.,
before returning to Washington.

head, he ran into the crowd, striking
three boys, breaking the Jaw of one in
two places, breaking the front teeth
of another and knocking down a third.

CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN
TO
A
Ground Near Jefferson High
School Will Be Beautified
by 1916 Class,
YEAR'S LEASE IS TAKEN
On KnnOrd Boy Bconte Will Tackle
One Spot as Movie Machines Take
Pictures of Workers.
One block of ground near the Jeffer
son high school, which for vears has
been unsightly because of the accu
mulation of cordwood, broken-down
w-agons and miscellaneous junk, has
been leased to Mrs. Robert Berger for
a term of one year. The sole purpose
of the lease is to have the ground
cleared up and made a park. This
one of the first permanent effects of
Portland's clean-up campaign.
Principal Hopkin Jenkins, of the
high school, notified Jacob Kanzler,
director of the clean-up work, that the
class of 1916 of the school would un
dertake to beautify the track if ar
rangements could be made for remov
al of the accumulated material. In
vestigation showed that the ground
was not leased, and that the owners of
the material stored there had no legal
right to use the ground.
Pupils to Fay Bental.
Accordingly Mr. Kanzler,
Blaecing, Fire Marshal Jay
and H. P. Boardman called
H. J.
Stevens
on the
owner of the property last night and
made a proposition of leasing, stipu
lating that the ground would be
parked. The owner readily agreed, and
Mrs. Berger signed the lease. The
nominal rental of $5 will be paid by
the high school pupils.
.This morning Mrs. Berger announced
that she would send a wagon load of
flowering bulbs to be planted on the
block when the high school seniors
have cleared and graded it.
The general campaign was resumed
this morning in District E, under the
captaincy of Mrs". G. J. Frankel. Mrs.
Frankel had effected a complete or
ganization, and had her forces out
early. She has had experience before
in clean-up campaigns, having had
charge of St. Louis' big clean-up day
in 1908, when 5000 loads of refuse
were hauled off in one day.
Boy Scouts to Act.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning J.
F. Brockaway, head o.the Boy Scouts,
will have 100 scouts at work on the
unsightly block adoining the east ap
proach to the Steel bridge. A moving
picture operator will reproduce the
scene. The scouts already have played
a prominent part, 25 having helped
Mrs. F. Joplin in cleaning District D
yesterday.
The clean-up executive committer
inspected the Alberta district this
morning, finding enormous heaps of
refuse gathered up in readiness for
the street cleaning department to haul
it away. Most ot the big five ton
trucks were loaded with the accumu
lation of two blocks.
J. E. Werlein will stage his sensa
tional clean-up of the Sunnyside and
Hawthorne districts tomorrow.

Nos. 25 an 31 wer hosts to the clean
up workers at luncheon served in the

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing
Hair
i
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is
very Injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle. "
The best thing to use Is Just plain
mulslfled cocoanut oil. for this Is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
ajid rub it in, about a teaxpoonful is
all that is required. It makes an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff. (Adv.)
