THE MOVING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1902. TO LINE UP SEATTLE Henry Hatris. Comes North to Help League Magnates. "bo'nd talk TRASH," he says ' San Francisco Manager Denies That There' la Danger of Xorthvrest Cities Being Dropped From the Coast League. Henry Harris, the San Francisco -baseball manager and organizer of the Pa cific Coast Baseball League, passed through Portland yesterday en route to Seattle, -where he will complete the or ganization of the new Seattle Association and elect the officers and directors today. Mr. Harris says that both the new as sociations in this city and at Seattle are In the most prosperous condition; that they are backed by responsible business men, and that the California people will furnish every assurance that they will ilnlsh the season. . For some days .past ft has been whis pered that the California people had given io guarantee that they would finish the ieason with Portland, and It was hinted bat In case that Portland did not come u? to the expectations of Harris that btth this city and Seattle would be sum marily dropped from the circuit in the mfcdle of the Summer. This statement wju borne out by the fact that Colonel Laaplng, of the new Seattle Club, and hla brother came to Portland yesterday and conferred with the San Francisco man and James F. Morley, the Los Angeles manner, who was with Harris. A meet- Ing vas held about noon yesterday, and last right Morley went back South and Harriswent to Seattle with the Lampings. Whet seen last night, the statement that California would not guarantee any protectlm was made to Harris, and he "That statement was made by the Se attle people, and Tvas issued -by the (Northwest League. We have offered (every sort of assurance that we would 'finish the season with the Northern as jsociations, and all that we came to Port Jland and Seattle for was to see that the i final work ot organization was perfected. Do you think that the business men that are backing us In these two cities are (-going Into a new proposition like this without making sure of what they are going, up against? Why, all that matter has been fixed, and that talk about us ' coming to put up a bond Is trash. "In the first place, the people should know that we didn't come North without being asked. We didn't care whether we i carae here or not,1 "but the people wanted us and we' finally came. We have the fin 1 est and richest minor" league In America I back of us, and we will just better it by taking in Seattle and Portland, by glv- lng a wider scope to the teams and by j getting paying cities. 1 "Now anyone can see that all the Coast J towns belong In a Coast league. Why ' should the Northern cities go back of the ' mountains into high altitude to play In losing cities? The Pacific Coast league Is ,a natural league, and it has come to stay. I We hkve .good paying towns In the South J and good In the North, and you will see that "we will have a league next year i that will be a hummer. ' "There is not much sentiment about mUiIs expansion business, for the people Wgn't stand it. Everybody going to see ?gearorthat "put? up ttacpt ball, and If we ao we. are going 10 get me money ar, the;gate, and If the opposition does they will rake it In. Now our business is ?to see that the team that ' represents the Pacific Coast Xieague will behe best of the two. If there is to be another, and "then we will win out In the end. And we mean to make our team the best, too. We will have the best players we can get, and the other people will have to rustle to keep in sight of our smoke. "I will go on to Seattle this evening, and finish the' business meeting with the . Xamplngs. We didn't finish 'today, and iwlll have to continue our work. .Tomor row we will elect officers and directors I think. I will be back in a few days, prob ably on Wednesday." ' Manager Morley, of Los Angeles, who Came up with Harris and returned last night, said that he was In Portland Just to see what kind of a proposition the ijaseball league was, and to Iodic over the Northwest "We will have a fine league next year aSl tfight, for we. have good towib and business people back of us," said h last night "W.e'Qre not forcing any wai but we are here after being asked, ahl we will-stay." " The Portland people connected with, the Coast League say that there are no ew developments so far as Portland Is cerned, and that there will be jiotling definite done till the regular meetinglof the California, League next month in Francisco. n Jack Grim is still in the. city, ana" sa; that he will be here till the holidays a over. He Is taking no active interest l1 the fight at present being on the fenc IitJCAS WILL JUMP. President of Northwest League Move to Seattle. to Jt is understood that the directors of the six teams in the Pacific Northwest League will shortly be asked to consent toi President Lucas moving bis headquar ters from Spokane to Seattle, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He moved to Spokane from Portland last Summer, be cause the former city Is situated more centrally than any other town on the circuit iow that a baseball war Is threatened, however, It is thought best to have the president near the scene of 'hostilities. Seattle is the prize Harris is striving for, and Seattle Is the city that Lucas and all the directors inthe league are deter mined he shall not liave. It Is necessary to get the consent of all the directors before Ihe can move, and If this Is not done by mall, the question will likely come up at the meeting to be held In this city In January. WIIITEMORE OUT OF THE FIGHT. But He Is iii Favor of the New Pacific Coast League. "I am out of the baseball business!, de clared C. A. Whltemore, president of .the Portland baseball club last night A postponed meeting of the old club was neld at the Hotel Portland last evening In conjunction with a preliminary meeting of the new Portland Baseball Association, the local branch of the Pacific Coast Base ball League. "I have announced that I will not accept a re-election to the presidency of the club, as Mr. Lucas now accuses me of double dealing. I will, hoover, con duct the affairs of the club until the an nual meeting on February 18, after which I will be entirely out of the baseball busi ness. When I returned to Portland I did not know how affairs In baseball stood here, but I soon found that the public and the baseball men favored the new league and I believe that the Pacific Northwest League Is tottering. All the directors of the old club have handed In their resigna tions with the exceptiou of William Gold man. All were present, or sent proxies, at the meeting. I now own only one share of stock In the Portland Baseball Club, and I held on, to this merely to entitle me to hold the office of president until the annual meeting. Yes, I am heartily in favor of the new association, buttl shall take no part in Its management, for, as I have said, I am out of the baseball busl- ness. When the trouble first became ap- j parent I wired to The Oregonian tnat l would keep my office In the club, but things have changed tdnce then and I am out of it. By joining the Pacific Coast Baseball Association we will have the benefit of playing in larger cities and will have eight months ball during the sea son. As to Seattle. I am not sure,- but I think the Pacific Coast Association will win out there, though the Northwest League may put up a fierce fight." The baseball men who attended the meeting last -evening will not tell of what took place. It ia said, however, that they practically selected the manager of the Seattle Association Club. This man, who is to wage war against the Northwest League, is rumored to be the manager of a successful team in a large Eastern city. He passed through Portland a few weeks' ago. It seems, and though the matter, was broached to him then, no action was taken until last evenlnc. The officers of the local association were also selected yesterday, but their Identity remains a secret. ' STRONG 3 IAN AG ER COMING. IiHcn.n Sny Portland Will Have Good Team. SPOKANE, Dec 22. President Lucas, of the Northwest League, has returned from Seattle. Regarding the Portland club's franchise, he says: "If It Is taken away from the present holders, one of the strongest managers In the country will take hold of the team." Spokane Signs Vonng Nicholas. SPOKANE, Dec 22. It is announced that Manager Andrews, of the Spokane league baseball team, has signed Young Nicholas, the star pitcher of the Reli ance Club, of Oakland. Nicholas , was claimed by Seattle recently.

Jack Munroe who was given a decision over Champion James J. Jeffries a few nights ago, to night gave the press a signed statement as a rejoinder to one made by the cham pion. In a message to a prominent sport ing "paper of New York, It Is said, Jeffries made the assertion that Munroe had failed to hit him, and that he easily could have knocked out the miner If he had w.mted to. Munroe says: "When Jeffries sayj I failed to hit him, he is attempting to deny what 1500 peo ple who witnessed the contest will say Is the truth. At least six times I found Jeffries' . face, and the fact that it was red and puffy jrlll testify whether or r:ot I hit him. Jeffries did his best to knock me out Every one who saw the mill will corroborate what I have said." "KID" M'COY CALLED A THIEF. Pnglllst Accused of Stealing a $1000 Bill From Customer. NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, Dec 22. President Roosevelt has let It be known that before he reached his decision to send the Cuban reciprocity treaty to the Senate and not to the House, he consulted freely the leaders of the House and the membersof his Cabinet After mature consideration it was determined that It was unnecessary to send the Cuban treaty to the House, notwithstanding the fact that it affected revenues, of the Government Precedents were looked up carefully. It was found that previous .reciprocity treaties had been sent directly to the Senate for rati fication. This was. notably true of the Newfoundland treaty, which is regarded as being on all fours with the Cuban treaty. No objection ever was raised, to the consideration . by the Senate alone of that treaty , - It can be said to be the purpose of the President, when the treaty shall have been ratified by the Senate, to send a mes. sage to both branches of Congress with a recommendation for such enabling legislation as will make the treaty oper ative. This will afford the House full opportunity. It Is expected, to stamp with Its approval and its individuality the ne gotiations for reciprocity with Cuba. BACK FROM VIRGINIA. President Returns to Capital Will Celebrate the Holidays. WASHINGTON, Dec 22. President Roosevelt and family arrived In Wash ington from Rapldan, Va., at U:25 today.

He will spend as much time In the open air, In horseback and carriage riding, as his duties wjll permit 1XTERNAL REVENUE DECLINES. Decrease for Five Months of Fiscal Year Xearly $21,000,000.

CAN'T INSURE MURDERER DEATH ON THB:gALLOWS INVALI DATES POLICY". Federal Supreme Court Declares Agalnnt Payment of Money as -Against Public Policy. WASHINGTON Dec. 22. The question of the effect of murder upon a life insur ance policy, when Issued upon the life of a murderer, was today passed upon by the United States Supreme Court in an nnininn oiivorcil hv Justice Brewer. The caso in which the opinion was delivered j was that of S. M. Burt vs. the union Central Life Company. William T: Burt, of Travis County, Texas, was the name of the man insured. His policy was made payable to his wife, Anna M."Burt and in case of her death to his executors. During the following year Burts wire died, and he afterward was charged with J murder and was found guilty ana exe cuted. Afterward the heirs of the estate made an eff6rt-to collect upon the policy, but the company resisted payment To day's decision affirmed the decision of the lower court, holding the policy Invalid on the ground that to sanction payment un der the circumstances would -be contrary to public policy. Stating the question at Issue, Justice Brewer said It was "whether an ordi nary life policy containing no applicable SDcdal provisions Is a binding contract to insure against a legal execution for crime; in other words, do insurance policies in sure against crime?" Proceeding to' pass on the case, he said: It cannot be that one of the risks cov ered by a contract of insurance is tne crime of the Insured. There Is an im plied obligation on his part to do nothing to accelerate the maturity of tne policy. Public policy forbids the insertion In a contract of a condition which would tend to Induce crime, and as 11 forbids the In troduction of such a stipulation, it also forbids the enforcement of a contract under circumstances which cannot be lawfully stipulated for." Taking up the contention that Burt dm not commit the murder attributed to him, Justice Brewer said that if that were true the action could be maintained only on the assumption that therehad been a failure, of justice In the criminal case, and he asked If It were possible that there" can be a contract of Insurance against the miscarriage of justice. This, he said, would be in the nature of a wager, and a wager intended to pervert the course of criminal justice was con trary to public policy. MERITS ARB NOT DECIDED.

They left the Crown boardtng-house on the afternoon of Wednesday, December 10, intending to go to Joe Cheatam's camp, about a mile and a half from the Crown camp, to remain over night and start out from there the next morning. Before they left they were warned against tak ing the upper trail, which was a little shorter, because It was dangerous, the lower one being perfectly safe. As they left, Branham was overheard to say, "We will take the upper trail; i is all right." Friday some of the men trom the Crown mine went to Cheatam's and learned that the men had not appeared there. A search was Immediately Instituted, their trail being taken to where the slide oc curred. After searching until Monday afternoon the two bodies were discovered about 300 yards down the hill from the trail, lying face downward, about 15 feet apart, under about four feet of snow. The slide was over 300 yards wide. There were no bruises .on the bodies,' and their clothing was still on them. The bodies were taken to the Crown mine, incased in canvns and burled temporarily, awaiting instructions from their relatives. Word of the accident was brought to Warren by Mr. Crown, superintendent of the Crown group. The men carried nothing with them. FITCH DEPOSES SOME MORE.
