Portland. Only one man i'll six cared
enough about this water district cleo

lot Had it been case where only the
personality of the candidates was IN

was q distinct issue presented to the
people of Portland this year. Mr.. Plum

FlREMEN GIVE TESTIMONY
Claim Wages Do Not Keep Pace with
Responsibilities and Living Cost.

New York, March 12.-More loco
motive firemen were called on to give
testimony at the hearing of the de-
mands of the firemen of the eastern
railroads before the three arbitrators,
under the Erdman act, the testimony
of the witnesses being given to show
that their responsibilities were in
creasing, and the cost of living also
jumping. without a proportionate in
crease in wages. 1t was admitted by
a witness, however, that there had
been several increases in wages since
1906.
According to some of the firemen
who gave testimony it was one thing
to qualify for promotion as an engi-
neer and another thing to be promot.
ed One fireman said that While he
could run an engine, it would be from
eight to sixteen years before he could
be an engineer and there were ia
others ahead of him in his district.

CAN RETARD OR
ACCELERATE CANCER
California Investigators Tell Of
Experiments.

San FranciSco.-T. Il. Robertson and
Dr. II. G. Burnett Of the University Of
California laboratory make it known
that they have found chemical sub
stances that will accelerate or retard
the growth Of cancerous tumors.
One Of the chemical substances ex-
perimented with was lecithin, which,
they say, not only rctards the spread
ing of cancer tumors to other parts of
the body, but in some instances re-
tards the growth Of the original cancer
tumor On the contrary, cholesterin
when likewise injected directly into
the cancer tumOr causes them to grow
more quickly and spread.
This method of partial "cOntrol' of
cancer having been established, 1t re-
mains for further experiments to de-
eide If lecithin can be so used as to
check altogether the cancer growth.
Lcclthln ana choIesterln are both
found in the human body. Lccithin Is
described chemically AS coloress,
gummy, phosphoriZed fat. contained in

Organization Of InCendiaries
under Fire Of Law.
CHICAGO MEN IMPLICATED q?
Arrival Of John Danies In Chicago
After Arrest in New York Com
pIetes Preparations Prosecutor
Thinks He and Fink Did Not Work

Chicago, March u. With the ar
rival here Of John DANES, known as
"the captain" in the investigation of
the larson trust" Frank Johnston,
first assistant states attorney, pre-
pared to present a mass of evidence
relating to incendiary fires to the
grand jury now in session.
Johnston said some of the evidence
would go to the grand jury within
the next few days. The sensational
confession of Benjamin Fink, the
'fre-bug," who has implicated many
prominent persons by his story of the
inside workings of the trust" is re-
sponsible for the decision to hasten
the presentation of evidence to the
grand jury.
Will Seek Forty indictments.
Indictment of forty men, many of
them prominent in Chicago business,
will be sought as the result of Fink's
confession. Although his statement
is not yet complete, he has admitted
he is responsible for nearly 100 in
cendiary fires. He has given the
states attorney the names of those
who were associated with him in the
wholesale destruction of property.
Fink is held a prisoner in a down
town hotel. He is kept under guard,
and the name of the hotel is being
kept a secret.
DANES, who is under indictment on
an arson charge, reached Chicago
from New York and was taken at
once to the states attorneys office.
He was questioned for several hours
by the prosecutor, who sought to OBJ
tain a confession from him. John
ston declared Fink and DANES never
worked together in setting incendiary
fires.
Says Danies Worked Alone.
"Danies, in most of the instances,
worked for himself" the assistant
states attorney said. THAT is, he
would buy a cheap house, fix 1t up
and place some furniture in it, take
out insurance and then set it afire.
'In other instances, however, he
would work for public adjusters, but
in most of the cases he worked for
himself"
Danies is known under the aliases
of Kabizak, Kubitz and Davis.
