Martin Cured of Drug Habit.

Portland-Edward Hugh Martin,
former dope fiend" and condemned
murderer Of Nathan Wolff, made out
strong case for himself today in
support Of his statement that he had
been completely cured of the drug
habit. In order to give greater weight
to the petition for his pardon, which
Is now being circulated, he volunteer
ed Wednesday morning to go into SOL
itary confinement in the dungeon Of
the couty Jail for 4S hours, and at the
end of that time submit to medical ex-
animation. This morning, after he
had remained in the dungeon SO
hours, five hours longer than speci-
fled, he was taken from the dun
geon and given an examination by DR..
w. T. Williamson, E. H. House and
e. D. Johnson as to the Effects of his.
confinement under those conditions,
and also to permit of certain tests,
when it was ascertained he had taken
no drug in that length of time. Mar
tins examination showed that his re-
actions were perfect, which could only
occur in cases Of drug fiends who
have abstained from indulgence for
protracted period The specialists are
convinced that Martin is telling the
truth when he says he has taken no
dope" since last October.

ART THEATER

Pathe films are always worth look
fng at and the feature at the Art
Theater tonight will be one of Pathe
FreTes best creations. 1t is entitled
"A Drama in Tyrol," and the plot is
laid in some of the prettiest scenery
on the scenery-famous Continent. The
characters in the story are pictures
quely CARRIED, the men are gallant
and handsome and the women win
sOmely pretty as is the wont of the
Tyrolese. In that country of song
and story, legend and romance, love
Is deep an dpassionate and more Of
ten than not a Tyrolean love affair
has dramatic denouement. The film
in question depicts just such a love
affair and the unraveling of the plot
till its thrilling climax Is revealed Is
sure to appeal strongly to the cos
mopolitan crowd which regularly
fills the Art Theater. Another Pathe
film that will be shown tonight is -
Messengers Mistake" and it is an
other winner.
