AN OREGON EDITOR
GOES BACK TO BED

| II. L. Pittock, proprietor of the Port
| land Oregonian, who was visitor In
Honolulu until recently, was in the San
Francisco disaster. He was at the
Occidental Hotel at the time. He was
awakened by the fearful heaving of the
building and great heaps of plaster
fell all about him. His suit case lying
on the table near him was crushed by
luck was with him and he was I'M
harmed.
Having had a former experience with
earthquakes he quickly realized what
had occurred and decided to remain
where he was. After deliberately go
ing back to bed and remaining there
for about an hour, he dressed and left
the hotel going to the ST. Francis
where he had breakfast. Not until
Friday was he able to get out of the
city and all day Thursday he was with
out food. He arrived in San Francisco
on Wednesday morning, April IS. only
two hour before the earthquake. He
went first to the Palace but was un-
able to get accommodation and then
went over to the Occidental. After de-
Gliding to leave the Occidental after his
hours rest after the first shock, he went
TO the Palace to get wash, the water
supply at the Occidental having been
cut off.

EVERYBODY
KNOWS IT |

Il The soda water sold at our fountains
4 Is known all over the world and the
reason is obvious-tourists drink it, en-
JOY it and tell their friends about it.
Local people patronize our fountains
because the favors are made from
fruit, the water properly carbonated
and the ice cream is made from pure
cream That accounts for the richness
of ice cream soda sold by us. Can
you say as much of that sold else
where7
There's as much of knack in pre-
pairing a glass OF soda water as in do
ing other and more complicated things.
It is like glass of old ale-unless it
has been properly decanted it loses the
snap that should be With chat sort Of a
beverage If You have never tried our
soda water begin tcday-then you will
be with US otter.

WORK FOR ALL.

There is work for men and women
in plenty, in behalf of the homeless
ones who have taken refuge in Golden
Gate Park and the Preside. Nearly
100 births have occurred in these two
places, and most of these babies are
without sufficient clothing. The Red
Cross with its corps of willing workers
is sewing day and night for the re-
lief of the waits. The War Depart
ment and VIM. Hearst of New York
have sent some 5000 tents and the
thousands who were burned out are

for which lines are formed, sometimes
two blocks long.

to pass along from one to the other,
and see how human beings can make

Washington, Feb. 16.-Ten Ponca m

Horse, the chief of the band of Poncas,
presented the president their gift for
his future son in law. The chief added
that they made a present to the groom
and not to the bride. because the bride
already had received many Presents

SAYS STOCK
WAS WATERED
Went Into Millions With
But $4,000
Paid Up

Cincinnati. Feb. is. - Sensational
charges are alleged in a suit In the
United States circuit court today by
attorneys for Rudolph Kleyboite. the
Cincinnati banker who IN seeking an
investigation OF the Mama and Erie
Transportation company.
The charge Is that the financiers Of
Cleveland fioated $2,000,000 IN bonds
and $3.000.000 in stock upon the sole
strength OF $4,000 paid up capital.
Kleybolte brings the suit IN behalf Of
the creditors OF the company, includ-
ing the holders OF the bonds.
1t is found by the allegation that tho
defendants presented themselves with
$2.990,000 worth OF the capital stock
Of the Mama and Erie Transfer Co..
which was issued to them as paid nr
stock. but for which they made no pay
ments and upon the strength OF which
the company caused $2,000,000 in bonds
to be issued and contracts made for
other debts.
The petition asks that the defendants
be compelled to pay par for the stock
and that the proceeds be applied to the
debts Of the company.

my declaration, that l not only do not
demand, but that l will not accept any
sum beyond the small amount which
my income before my mar
riage." The count thus disposes OF the
statement to the effect that he con-
temptuously refused $4,000 a year on
the ground that 1t was not sufficient
for his pocket money.
The attitude Of the count leaves the
lawyers Of the countess to consider
only his outstanding Indebtedness,
which reaches an enormous sum. The
Castelane marriage contract gives the
countess her Separate income not SUBJ
ject to claims for debts OF her hua-
band. This contract ensures the pro-
lection OF the countess fortune against
being absorbed in the present contro-
versy and also prevents the counts
creditors from taking legal action
against the countess.
At the same time she does not ap-
pear disposed to exact the strict let
ter Of the contract, and the financia
negotiations are for the purpose o
making some arrangement for com.
promise with the counts creditors.
