The third attempt to loop the loop was successful, but rider John X-arsen was hurled from a broken wheel against the opposite side and. escaped aeatn Dy a mir acle. It was an anxious throng that awaited the hour of the event in a silence strangely different to the usual Carnival spirit At 25 minutes past 10 o'clock the rider who had been thrown so terribly on Saturday night reappeared on the runway of the loop and stood in quietness while the showman announced to the assem blage that absolute silence was requested. The warning was not needed. A low cheer greeted the rider, and the crush subsided again Into stillness. The figure In red slowly mounted the treacherous incline, anf flnajly rested on the starting platform. A moment was consumed in adjusting the pads about head and shoulders. "Then Larsen be strode the wheel and the starter slowly pushed It out over the brink of the de scent. Before the people could realize that another scene of possible death was swift ly rushing to its climax the wheel was dashing down toward the fated loop! There was a dull whirr and rider and wheel swept true over the crest of the cylinder, and 10.000 faces drew tense with the senso of victory. The loop was con quered. Wheel Crashes to the Ground. Suddenly the stout wheel crumpled up, and the rider. In the Instant of his tri umph, was thrown Into the ascent of the' loop. The crash o breaking wood sick ened the onlookers, and many faces were turned away until a shout proclaimed that Xiarsen's marvelous luck had- held. He was unhurt beyond a few scratches. Then cheer after cheer rose to greet the hero of the hour. The loop had been looped. After he had been taken to his dressing room Larsen said: "The wheel broke un der the terrific strain, and. that threw me Into the loop agair I am unhurt,and I have made the loop. I am sorry, that a thing that no one druld possibly have fore seen made me fall in coming out of the last section." The D5-pound wheel was broken in three pieces. The diamond frame was broken .short, as was the head. The probable ex planation seems to be that the pressure ' upon the handle-bars in the down shoot was too much for the steel, and when it gave way Larsen -svas. flung, .over and down. ,Mr. Jabour was very, much elated that the possibility of looping the loop had beenr-dempnstrated without InjuTy. Larsen May RIde.Agraln. Manager Rowe, for the. Carnival com mittee, has decided, in view of Leon A. McDonald's -inexperience, not to permit him to ride tonight. It is felt that if so, practiced a man as Lan-en -risks death every ride. It" would be amwise to allow a beginner, to try' the loop. Larsen may ride again tomorrow if it Is found . possible to repair the wheel in time. GREAT CROAVD-CHEERS .LARSEN. Thousands of Doubters Witness the Rider's Triumph. The two failures that have occurred since the loop was put up had caused the people to doubt whether the ride could be made. "I believe, that there is something Trrong with it," they said. "Feltham had every chance to make It and did not have momentum enough to carry him over." Long before the performance a large crowd had gathered about the ropes to have a plain view when the attempt was made. The policemen were doing efficient work, and no one was allowed inside of the enclosure unless they had business. Feltham was there and explained to those gathered about how It happened that he fell the night before. "I am willing to try it again," said he, Vif I see any one else make it. But I first want to be con vinced that it Is a possible feat." There are some 30 sections in the struc ture, "yet there was two-to-one money of fered that-the rider would-not reach the 22d section. Every one. -was skeptical, however, and jinwilljng to risk money on such an uncertain: chance. The onlookers had been by this time thoroughly im pressed with the extreme risk that Larsen was about to take, and there was a no ticeable lack of the usual Joking and Jest ing. To all it was a stern reality that they were soon to see a man risk his life for their amusement, and even the most boisterous were quieted by the intensity of the situation. On previous nights the crier has. had' .'trouble to quiet the crowd while he-announced the event, but last night the spectators were hushed and si lent at his first appearance. Half-past 10 o'clock was the appointed time, and just on the minute Larsen's red figure ap peared. There was one hearty cheer, and again they were silent.' H. Cooper, the cycle-dazzle xider, Is Larsen's starter, and he ascended the incline ahead of him. Larseh :qulckly followed, put on his pads, and was off. Trie people had witnessed this dash for life down the incline twice beforehand each time they had seen the man fly through the-air and dash to "the ground, only escaping serious injury by miracle. They could well expect to see it again, but such was not the spectacle. Over the top he .went, and down again. "'He's made it," was whispered in one breath, but the light exclamation was drowned by a louder "Oh!" as his wheel gave away beneath the strain and crashed through the timbers, and the rider was hurled into the net below. "He made it, anyway!" "Hcjmowed that it can be madej'v "Is he hurt?" "He would have made It If the wheel had not broken!" were shouted by the crowd in glee, ao he appeared, and was greeted by a hearty "Hurrah!" His many friends rushed up and seized " him -by the hand, and all agreed that" they had seen one man loop the loop. GREAT .INTEREST IN- MIDWAY. Chlldren.'and Groivn-Ui Visitors See MauS.Wonderful Sights. The Integ'-nianlfested by visitors in the Mld&ayteems unfailing. Day after day and!nfeht after fright there are thou sands who wander from stage to stage In attitudes of open-mouthed expectancy. To make the circuit of the grounds one must see some of the shows twice, but this to the majority Is an added Bliss. The first object that meets the eye of the newcomer is a- lordly elephant that 1 swings both his tails In the most affable manner possible. At times this dusty and massive monarch may be seen trun dling wagons about the place or doing other menial labor, under the shrill , direc tions of a keeper. Yet the elephant never feels degraded by sucn toil and may be descried in the very center of a cloud ol dust and straw, as he brushes off the filet that have accumulated during the task. Many an unwary youth has been sadly1 mussed by this toilet operation, and has wondered between sneezes whether ele phants are -as dull and unobserving as they look. Right across from the beast with two tails is the cage of the man eating lion. Twice a day George, the trainer, goes into this cage and risks his life for the sake of applause. To save himself he uses a heavy blacksnake whip loaded with iron points. By means of this whip he keeps the lion springing back and forth and prevents him from getting a chance to jump directly at him. If the whip should catch in the bars of the cage or in a crack in the back planking the .spectators would see a man killed. Further on there is the small tank into TjSMPLE BETH Photo by McAlpIn, 120 Seventh street. INTERIOR OF SYNAGOGUE, WHICH HAS BEEN REDECORATED. The Temple Beth-Israel will he reopened for tho first time Friday evening slnco It has been clQsed for extensive alterations. These have been made under the direction of Architect E. M. Lazarus, at a cost of ?20,000. The walls have been beautifully decorated, and the auditorium has been made one of the most attractive in the city. Dr. Stephen S. "Wlso will preach the open ing oermon at 8 P. M. Friday, on the subject, "The Place of the House of God In the Life of Man." which Bigney falls twice a day. Con stant repetition does not rob this act of its terrors, and on each occasion the diver trembles and has to gather his nerve. Once during the last week he hurt his shoulder as he fell, hut in spite of this he has given performances right along. The stage Just beyond the tank is the scene of the tumbling and acrobatic feats. Here the most charming possible women do the most thrilling possible acts without turning a hair. Also the strong man, Saad Dahduh, smiles from this platform in "a winning way, even though weighted by some wholly impolite men who stick out all over him wherever they can find something to hold to. The Japanese also do airy flights on the slightest prov ocation and build regular ladders up to wards the -sky out of men, only to pull them down again, just to show the chil dren that It is very easy If you only know how. There Is always- a big crowd here. and the children are always twisting their heads like owls in order not to miss any of the wonderful doings. Beside the same stage the woman, with the tight clothes walks head down on a celling that hasn't any room under It. She does thig entirely for the fun of It, and gets her pay in being an honorary member of the Fly and Spider Union. Not to be outdone by this high-minded lady, two Others insist on swinging on trapezes In the most scandalous style and jumping Into each other's arms .A rom awful distances. To watch them f of long is sure to give a boy or a' girl a beautiful and quite Incurable case of crick in the neck, which, as every one Jcnows, is the most dread disease known to anxious mothers. There are plenty of other things that simply must be seen In case one's parents are well enough trained to stand still without hitching. In cases where It Is deemed advisable to yield discreetly to superior force, it may be well to carry away a map of the place In one's head to use in dreamland. There no parents op press with reminders of home and bed, and all the animals and the performers are on their very best behavior, so that really It Is quite as good as the show. The only trouble Is, one must have been Just once to know what to look for. SHOWING OF HOME INDUSTRIES. Manufacturers' Association Makes Great Exhibit. The -Manufacturers' Association of the Northwest Is especially Interested in the results of the Street Fair and Carnival enterprise, and acquired, In promotion ot that Interest, extensive space in which to exhibit the products of home industry. One block of booth space is devoted to that purpose. These exhibits are not only extensive, but unprecedently fine, and much time and effort has been devoted by Secretary Mclsaac to make the home-industry ex hibition greater than it has -ever been in this state. "Many things that we pro duce for the markets," said Mr. Mclsaac, "are shown to advantage. "We desire to convince the world that Oregon possesses a wealth of magnificent resources and .that, finally, ' Oregon enterprise- - is de veloping It. "There have been thousands of people vhere from sections which really know lit tle about Oregon and Its products. Even within the boundaries of our own com monwealth are thousands of people who do not know what we are dolngjn the manufacturing llneand there are nearly as many who have only a limited concep tion of the extent of production we an nually make of raw materials to be con verted Into the "manufactured article. The exhibit of the Manufacturers' Asso ciation at the Carnival shows the goods in their various stages from ripeness in growth to perfection in manufactured form for commercial, use. They come from our factories of every class and they, in perfected articles of "commerce, exhibit the wondrous extent and diver sity of Oregon's resources. "What wc most desire to accomplish, aside from giving the world a view or the genuineness of our commercial great ness, is to persuade the people of our own communities to patronize home in stitutionsthe factories that produce the articles for which they have dally use and the laborers who produce the ma terials of which these articles are made. Every dollar expended for goods- produced at home Is a dollar .spent for use in pro ducing goods at home Every dollar spent for goods made elsewhere Is a dollar sent away from home; and It will be a long time finding Its way back. "Every retailer who buys and sells J - imported goods which we can produce at home sends money away from local i circulation money he ought to invest at home for distribution among his pa trons. More than that, he discourages home production and local enterprise and thus impoverishes the community, to eono extent, on the prosperity of which his profit depends. "We desire to em phasize this fact. "Again, every new factory established puts more money into circulation. La borers are employed, not only in pro ducing the factory's output, but In pre paring and diverting the raw material for use In perfecting its articles of com merce. 'Development of resources is thus stimulated, and general progress given an impetus. "Without that encourage ment wc cannot become great, commer cially or othepwlse, because our money Is sent away to maintain business enter prises which support laborers and invite capital in other sections of the country. 'Oregon is fertile, blessedly so. Nature endowed it with wealth in a thousand dif ferent forms. But nature will not develop It for us. It takes labor and capital to. do that, and we must supply them. Nature's mint of coinage may be reached -ISRAEL WILL BE REOPENED FRIDAY. only by those who are willing to "go to it with the brawn necessary to operate it and the capital required to pay the operatives. "The burden of maintaining tho politi cal organization at the body politic has heretofore fallen chiefly upon the shoulders 'of the husbandman. .A change .must be effected in that respect. The manufacturer must help to meet that responsibility. "We must have factories. That Is -the main point. They give employment to our people and mako new enterprises necessary. These in turn add, to the pay roll of local operatives. Thus the distri bution of wealth at home is increased in volume, and the excess over the aggre gate dally expense of living goes Into improvements of a substantial and per manent character. "The object of the Manufacturers' Asso ciation is to bring this condition about by encouraging the establishment of factor ies here which will produce the bulk of the wares we need, consuming our vast abundance of raw materials and develop ing our own resources, instead of those of other sections by buying our goods abroad." SHRINERS' RALLY TONIGHT. Nobles of Al Knder Temple Will Visit the Carnival. This evening is Shrlners' night at tho Carnival. Al Kader Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, In response to the cordial Invitation extended them by their good friends, the Elks, will attend In a body and pay their respects to Her Majesty Queen Maybelle. The Nobles, accompanied by their band, will leave the Temple at Third and Alder streets at 8:15 P. M." and march on Alder to Sixth, north to Washington, east to Third, south to Morrison and west on Morrison to the Portland Hotel (main entrance), where they will meet the Queon and conduct her thence In Oriental state .and magnificence on Morrison to Seventh and north on Seventh to the Carnival. Arriving at the Temple of Music the Nobles will pass to the right, around the bandstand, and be drawn up In the form of a crescent facing the north. In the square a dais will be erected and a com mittee of Elks will await here to re ceive their Queen. Her Majesty will then be presented by the Potentate of Al Kader Temple with a souvenir appropriate to the occasion. After a response to this ceremony by George E. Chamberlain the Shrlners will leave the Queen with her loyal people and will proceed to the Midway and see the sights. A large company of Shrlners will be here from Seattle and all the Valley towns will be well represented. No Illuminated Masquerade. The Illuminated masquerade that was to have taken place on tomorrow night has been abandoned. However, the Car nival masque, which will close the Fair, will occur according to advertisement. Owing to the difficulty In controlling the crowd on the street, the Elks have re quested the police department to allow no people in mask oh the streets after 9:30 P. M. This will be an order, and all per sons violating It will be subject to arrest. The last night of the Elks'- Carnival is to be at once the gayest and most orderly event of the season, and every one may participate Jn It without fear of any rough play or disorder. . Pony and -Cart to Be Given Away. The pony-cart, harness and pony will be drawn today at 4:30 P. M. All who have saved their coupons from the Mid way tickets have a chance on this. A11 tickets received at the Midway gate, In cluding those taken up this a'fternoon, will be put into a box. From this box three children will draw until 142 have been drawn. These 142 tickets will be put into a large glass bowl and a fourth child will draw one from this. Any one pre senting the coupon belonging to the ticket drawn will be entitled to the cartr pony and harness, worth $400. The place of the drawing will be Temple Square. Carnival Notes. The Elks' Carnival committee Invited the Inmates of the Receiving Home and of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society to attend the Carnival in a body.

Manager Swigert, of the City & Suburban Railway Company, provided the necessary transportation. Superintendent Gardner on behalf, of the society wishes to extend his sincere thanks for the kindness shown the chil dren on this occasion. During the parade tonight all persons are especially requested not to throw con fetti. This restriction will be removed after tonight, but It Is considered a mat ter of courtesy to refrain when visitors are honoring the Carnival with their pres ence. The Carnival committee requests all members .of 142, B. P. O. E., to appear in full uniform this evening and meet at the main gate at 8 P. M. to act as an escort to the Mystic Shrinerg.

(Continued from First Page.) commercial reconstruction, of financial re adjustment, the balance of foreign trade in favor of the United States, in spite of all these drawbacks, was over S2,SOO,000. Let me repeat It In still another form, because It, Is the largest fact, not only In the history of "our commerce, but In the history of the commerce of tho world. In the five years beginning with' the Inaugu ration of William McKinley the balance of trade In our favor was greater than in the entire century of tho Nation's life. It was not only greater than the combined balance of trade during all the rest of our history, but it was nearly COO per cent greater than the combined balance of trade In our favor during our entire hte tory as a Nation. Yet the opposition aaK. the people to repudiate that management of National affairs." The Trust Question. On the subject of trusts, Senator Bev erldge said: "The only law 'ever enacted to regulate them was passed by a Republican Con gress; the only President who ever at tempted to enforce that law was our Republican President, Theodore Roosevelt. The tariff is not the parent of trusts. If It Is, why did not trusts develop during the Morill war tariff, that lasted from the Civil War to the enactment of disastrous Wilson tariff? If the tariff causes trusts. why did they first appear in free trade England? If trusts exist in different countries with different tariff systems. must we not look deeper for their cause? And is not that cause to bo found In the complex conditions of modern life? The individual dealer, the little corporation of a generation, ago, could not produce and distribute the necessities of modern life. When each community was separated from the rest of the Nation, because there was no means of communication, Its wants could be supplied by Individuals and small concerns. But the railroad, the telegraph, all the agencies of modern communica tion, have knit the Nation Into a single community, and individuals acting sep arately can no longer do the work re quired by modern life; and organizations of Industry become vaster than the little concerns of the old days, as the consoli dated Industrial Nation is vaster than the little separate communities of the old days. Organization " of Industry simply keeps pace with the organization of so ciety. Benefits.-.of Consolidation. "What Is the general result? Is It bet ter for the merchant, manufacturer or farmer who ships over railways, to have the little short separate lines of 25 years ago, or Is it better for them that these lines arc so consolidated. Into systems sweeping to the farthest city markets and to the Nation's ocean ports? The little lines of road are what you' had a genera tion ago; the trunk line Is what you have today. And yet, then you paid 20 to 400 per cent more freight on every pound of grain and every box of merchandise you shipped than you pay today. 16 it bet ter for the 2,000.000 laborers employed by railways to work for the little lines that existed 25 years ago or for the mighty railway consolidations that employ them today? The little separate lines of a generation ago, acting in competition, without scientific or sensible connection, paid their" laborers 15 to 50 per cent less in wages than the same men receive to day; and statistics show that hundreds of those little lines went into the hands of receivers every year. Often their labor ers lost their wages utterly. Today hun dreds of thousands of more men are em ployed by railways, at higher wages than ever before; receiverships are almost un known, and no railway laborer loses a dol lar of his. wage. And yetthe opposition to the .Government demands the dissolu tion of these 'consolidations. "These modern conditions have caused these modern industrial developments, not T the tariff, not the favor of the Govern ment, not legislation nor the want of It. Destruction of the tariff therefore -would nqt destroy trusts. It would merely cre ate international trusts. English, Amer ican and German - trusts would combine instead of compete. But until American Industries shall dominate the industries at the rest of the world; until the United States becomes the permanent banklnir- house of the Nation; until we have grown so great that we are the controlling In fluence in international -commercial poli cy, American trusts are "better for us than international trusts. "Have these organizations extorted money from the people? Examine the scale of the cost of the necessaries of lite during the last generation and you will find a steady decline In prices.- Have these organizations thrown labor out or employment? Why, then, are more men employed at higher wages in the United States than ever before more employed In proportion to the population than in any other country on the globe? Have they reduced the wealth of the people? Why, then, have the deposits of work in gm en In savings banks Increased? "Why have the farmers of the Nation during the very period of the formation of trusts paid off the mortgages on, their farms which were placed there before the peri od of trusts, began? And why should or ganizations of commerce and Industry seek to Impoverish the people, since their only source of profit Is the prosperity ot the people? They can make money only by selling what they can - produce, and they cannot sell If the people have no money to buy." Trust Evils and Remedies. Senator Beveridge then discussed the .evils of Trusts, and declared that there Were three. "First The watering of stocks which defrauds the innocent purchaser of those securities; but while only a few ot our SO.000.000 are Injured In this way that evil must nevertheless be remedied, and Its only remedy is publicity. For no one will buy a worthless share of stock If he knows the condition of the corporation that issues it. And when statements of their business " are published to the world, every purchaser may know what he buys. And although the trusts themselves, as a method of securing popular confidence, have begun to publish statements ot their business, as witness the voluntary publication, of Its condition by the steel trust, yet the administration 'proposes that the people shall be Informed of the condition of corporations doing business throughout the Nation if they do not fol low the example of- the steel trust and publish their condition voluntarily. "The other evils of trusts are the un just raising of prices and the unjust low ering of wages. And although prices are seldom arbitrarily raised by trusts be cause tho higher the prices, the smaller tho sales, and therefore the smaller their profits, yet the administration Is deter mined that the folly and the crime of un just prices shall be made Impossible. And although unjust reduction of wage3 la less and less frequent, as is proved by the voluntary advancement ot the wages of the, employes of the Steel Trust and hundreds of other great employers of la bor, the possibility of such a wrong must be prevented. But the only method to prevent these wrongs Is the gradual de velopment of national control of corpora tions doing business throughout the Na tion. And the 'Department of Commerce, which President Roosevelt urged Congress to create. Is the seed from which will grow perfect national control of national in dustry. "But effective national supervision must grow. Iron-clad control of business meth ods which themselves are perpetually changing and Improving, cannot be cre ated on the Instant, and would not be effective If It could. National control which accomplishes anything must de velop as the changing methods of or ganized industry themselves develop. Mod eration Is tho .word of wisdom in 'all hu man legislation; and moderation Is the word of necessity in all legislation that at tempts to regulate the business activi ties of a nation of S0.000.000 of people. No rashness, no violence, no revolutionary methods. Reform means progress, not de struction. Ruin never yet remedied an evil, yet annihilation is the only method the opposition proposes. The administra tion and construction. The opposition and destruction. This Is the situation." New Markets the Real Issue. "But trusts are not the real question of this campaign. How shall the pros perity of the last five years be continued? that Is the real question of this cam paign. New markets for American prod ucts that Is the only answer to this preat Question. All American statesman ship for the next decade Is summed up In these five words. "New marKets ror Amer ican products." How does the opposition propose to get a single new market for a single pound of American meat, a single barrel of American flour, a single carload of American machinery? "Practical methods for getting new mar kets are America's need. And practical methods the Administration proposes. The Administration proposes a monopoly of the markets of Cuba, which will buy from the first year reciprocity is established $70,000,000 worth of American products And this market will Increase In- propor tion as we give her the opportunity for development. The President's Cuban pol icy -la Inspired by National honor; but National honor and National necessity walk hand In hand. We ore responsible for Cuba to the world and to history. That great statesman, Senator Piatt of Connecticut, framed a law which Con- gsess adopted which forever binds that Island to the fortunes of the United States. Cuba can contract no foreign deb't with out our consent, no treaty without our approval; and the moment her govern ment falls to protect property and life, American power may enter the Island to restore and maintain a government that can. The prayers of the American people are that Cuba, under-the protection of the United States, may care for herself; but whether she walks erect with growing strength or whether she totters In weak ness and turns to us, asking again a gov ernment by American administrators, our destiny Is her destiny and our aid is her right. And- relief for Cuba Is relief for ourselves, because she will take scores of millions ot dollars' worth of the surplus products of our factories and farms. "Yet the opposition resists reciprocity with Cuba. It demands free trade with Cuba and the world. But will free trade give uo markets In foreign countries? No; it gives foreign countries our markets; it surrenders all to our rivals and secures nothing 'n return. Free trade does not make the markets of other nations free to us; It only makes our markets free to them. The statesmanship of Blaine, of McKinley, of Roosevelt Is merely this: Do not lower the American tariff an Inch to foreign countries till you have secured from them a new market for American markets In return. "Where else shall new markets for American products be secured? Our new possessions answer that question; the Orient answers that question; the geogra phy of the world answers that question." . Senator Beveridge closed his address with a tribute to President Roosevelt. "Do you name courage? Theodore Roosevelt represents it. Do you name honesty? Theodore Roosevelt is Its per sonification. Do you name patriotism? Theodore Roosevelt named his on the field 9 ears Pears soap is dried a whole year. That's why it lasts so. It wears as thin as a wafer. Sold all orer the -worfd.
