HEAVY BACKS CRUSH LINE University Faculty Breaks off R- latlon With state College on the Ground That Three of lt I'lnjerj. Are Kin:?ers. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seat tle, Nov. 21. (Special.) Pullman's heavy line-smashing machine won from the. University of Washington football team this afternoon by a score of 11 to 5. All the touchdowns were made in the sncond half, the first part being a nlp-and-tuck .struggle, with neither eleven having a marked advantage. Most of the play was in Pullman's ter ritory, however, Grimm outpunting Hardy. In the first half, the heavy Pullman hacks could do nothing against the Washington line but, in lieu of that, surprised the spectators by using the forward pass effectively. But it was different in the second half. The farmers got their stride and .smashed the line continually for five yard gains at a buck. Pullman made ti touchdown first, Nisscn taking the hall over after a series of line plunges and what Bender calls a split play, the play moving toward left end and Nis scn darting in and going over the line through tackle. Halm failed at goal. Washington shortly afterwards made a touchdown, due to fake plays and forward passes. A forward pass from Grimm to Bantz netted 25 yards and another from Spalding to Grimm made 12 more. Willis and Bagshaw then hit the line for 10 yards, putting the ball on the three-yard line. Matthews made the touchdown, going aro.und the end on a fako line-buck. Pullman's last touchdown was due principally to a long run of 40 yards by Nlssen. who tore through the line and dashed toward the goal until downed by Mat thews. A couple of line smashes took the ball over and Hahn kicked goal. The game shewed that the Pullman team Is superior to Washington, espe cially in the old-style game. The Washington line was good for one half, hut went completely to pieces after that. Pullmap's back field proved the ter rific line plunging "machine It Is tracked up to be. The game was clean from beginning to end, hard fought and pleasing to witness. Trott, Mackey and Bragdon were unable to play for Washington and the wet field and con tinual downpour of rain helped Pull man on account of its greater weight. 1 lockenberry, of Portland, was referee, and Chase, of Willamette, umpire. WEST SIDE HIGH CHAMPION Defeat of Portland Academy by Co lumbia Decides Football Struggle. Columbia rniverslty's defeat of Portland Academy on Multnomah field last Satur day afternoon gave the West Side High Hchool the Interseholastie football cham plonshlp of the city. In Wednesday's game, the Academy team went on the field confident of at least tying the Var sity. If not winning, while the Columbia players were not so confident. The Acad emy was picked by a number of inter scholastic football followers as the winner of Wednesday's game; some even thought that the Academicians would be able to run the score up to two or three tofMidowns. Columbia was not so con fident of winning because of the team's failure to defeat the East Side High School and its defeat at the hands of the West Side team. From the minute that the kick off was made until the whistle blew at the end of the second half. Columbia was picked as a. winner. They were there In every de partment of the game. The Academy did not play its usual brilliant game. West Side can now boast of the cham pionship. The longstanding rivalry be tween the Academy and West Side High raine near resulting in a free-for-all fight ifter Wednesday's game. A large crowd pf West Side High School students, who were present to witness the struggle be tween the two outside schools, becoming nthusiastlc after Columbia sent the ball over the Academy's goal for a touchdown, marched In lockatep fashion in front of thai part of the grandstand where the Academy students were sitting. This ac tion enraged the P. A. boys, and for a while it looked as if a fight were immi nent. The peacemakers finally prevailed. Coach Henderson, who developed the West Side team, deserves a great deal of credit for his good work. His team clearly outclassed any other Interseholas tie, aggregation. It was faster and had more trick plays than any of the other schools. West Side will play B ker City at Baker City Thanksgiving day. Hill Military Academy plays the Pendleton High at Pendleton the same day. FACULTY ISSUES STATEMENT Declares Rader Was Paid for Play ing at Willamette. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle. Nov. 21. (Special.) Before the Washington and Pullman game today the University of Washington faculty ath letic committee gave out for publication a statement io the effect that hereafter no intercollegiate relations will be held between the two institutions. This stand was taken because, the faculty has posi tive information that three of the Pullman players are ringers. The game today would not have been played but for the fact that a binding contract existed and a cancellation of th. contest would have disappointed hundreds of fans. The athletic committee, consist ing of Professors Haggett, Roberts and Lantz. makes following charges: "Cherry Is objected to because he failed completely at Oregon Agricultural College last year and has not had time to make a record at Washington State College. The second objection to this man Is that his name was given out as Carish. with, the knowledge and approval of the Washing ton State College management, thus pro fessionalizing him. "Hardy Is objected to because he Is now receiving money from the State of Wash ington for Instructional work at the Washington State College. He Is on the faculty and is not a bona fide student. Rader is objected to on the ground that he received money for playing football at Willamette, which fact is known and ac knowledged by the Washington State Col lege. 'The foregoing statement was made to the Washington State College last week. Notwithstanding this they have brought the men. We shall play them because of Mm existing contract but future games, cannot be assured until a clean team of bona fide students Is representing Wash ington State College." .Many Football Stars Retire. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. On Yale field last Saturday five of the 12 men who represented Princeton played their last game for old Nassau. Next Saturday eight Yale men and six Harvard men play their last game. Of the 19 men who thus pass out of the great college game, nearly all are star players. Yale i,.t... nio-elnw Tad Jones. Howard Jones. Alcott. Paige, Foster, Congdon i and Bomar. Harvard loses Captain Par- ker. Grant, Appolonlo, Wendell, Starr j and Newhall. Princeton s retiring so.uad Includes McCormack, Harlan, Phillips, Winter and Brown, taking away from Captain Eddie Dillon every one of the Tiger's stars. Last School League Game Today. The last game of the Interscholai - c football season will be played this after noon on Multnomah field between the East Side High School and Hill Military Academy. While the Cadets have a little the better of the contest In weight, the East Slders are fast and should be able to put up a strong game. Uast Saturday on Multnomah field the East Slders were beaten by the West Side High School, 11 to 6. The game between Hill and the West Side High resulted in a tie. From this "dope" the Bast Slders ought to stand a good chance against the Cadets. DAY BREAKS BILLIARD RECORD Makes Average of 1.32 In St. Louis Tourney. ST. LOUIS. Nov. 21 Breaking the world's record for averages and sweeping hie opponent before him with brilliant and rapid play. Frank P. Day. of St. Louis, tonight defeated Alfredo de Oro, of New York, in the 23th game of the National three-cushion billiard champion ship tourney, by a score of 50 to 20 in 55 minutes.

Elaborate preparations are being made by the committee in charge of indoor athletics at Multnomah Club for the smoker and rally to be held there Thanks giving eve. The boxing matches, which will be an Important part of the pro gramme, have been arranged, and most of the contests should prove interesting. The fight between Madden and Steward, 200 pounders. will be something unique in club circles. Both men are clean boxers, aggressive and good all round men. Among the other men who will go Into the ring Wednesday night are George Handley, Leon Hughes, Parrazxo and Olmar Dranga. The fights between these club members will be as good if not bet ter than the recent interclub fights. Cups Arrive From Seattle. The silver cups won by the members of the Portland Hunt Club who took prizes at the Seattle Horse Show ar rived from Seattle yesterday. The Portland exhibitors carried off 12 very handsome cups, and X. M. Cronln was busy delivering the trophies to the lucky winners. Those who received cups were Miss Anne Shogren, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Cronln, Otto Breyman, Miss Maud Hahn. Miss M. L. Flandersi Miss Eva H. Kiernan and Thomas Scott Brooke. The cups that were given to the tandem classes are exceptionally pretty ones. Miss Shogren and Mrs. Cronln carried oft two cups. Schoolboys' Hirie Tournament. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. The first schoolboys' National rifle tournament will be held at the exhibition of the Forest, Fish and Sportsmen's Asso ciation in this city December 30 to Jan uary 4. by the National Rifle Asso ciation. Chit-Chat of the Sporting World ED KENNEDY. Portland's first-baseman, is anxious to meet some of the local amateur wrestlers. If It can be arranged he would like to meet some heavyweight wrestler of the Multnomah Club In an exhibition. Mc Credlc's new ballplayer has wrestled Gotch and several other clever mat artists. If the president of fhe National league has his way. double-headers will be a thing of the past. If he is re elected, and It looks as if he will be, all championship contests will be nine lnnlng affairs, unless darkness or de layed trains should prevent. Racing at Emeryville race track has lost none of its popularity and from all accounts the money stringency doesn't bother the race-going crowds. As usual, the horses that raced at Butte and Seattle last season are gathering in the money. Such horses as Gemmel, Jack Nunnally, Native Son and Janeta have romped home in front of the Eastern cracks in the stake events thus far held. Last year when little Guy Burns, a brother of the clever rider. Tommy Burns, began to ride, horsemen passed him up with the remark that he would never make the rider his brother was. The youngster kept on riding and now he Is among the best green riders In the country. It would not be surpris ing to see Burns turn out as good. If not better than Miller, who has made over $i0,000 riding this year. Joe Gans does not seem to be taking his retirement kindly. The other day he announced he would fight Battling Nelson before the club offering the largest purse. Gans wants 75 per cent of the purse, win. lose or draw. This arrangement will not suit the Dane, An Eastern magazine writer says In an article on duck shooting: "Five or six grcenheads make a good day's bag.'' wonder what he would write if he had one day's shooting, say on Deer Island, in a state where the limit is 50 and where the limit could be bagged In four hours or less of shooting. The Game and Fish Association of Michigan is planning to release In that state 28.000 quail. In order to preserve the birds farmers are going to be urped to lease the shooting priv ileges to sportsmen and constitute themselves game wardens to protect the quail during the closed season. The New York club must pay a fine of $1000 for refusing to play the Phila delphia Athletics In New Orleans last Spring. It will be remembered that after the first game McGraw objected to "Chief" Zlmmer as umpire, and when the management refused to engage an other umpire, McGraw took the Giants off the field and refused to finish the series.

ONE HEARING ON LUMBER TRRIFFS (Continued From First P-iK ber Manufacturers' Association, It Is stated that $100,000,000 is Invested in the lumber Industry in Washington, exclusive of the value of material on hand, stand ing timber, Qr timber lands; that more than 90.000 persons are employed in the Industry, their annual compensation ex ceeding $60,000,000. The annual output of lumber of Washington Is said to ex ceed 4,000.000.000 feet, valued at $65,000,000, In addition to $17,000,000 worth of shingles. It costs In the neighborhood of $25,000,000 annually to get this lumber to market. No Reason for Advance. The rates on lumber heretofore In effect in the Northwest were voluntarily estab lished by the railroads in 1S93, and there has been substantially no changes up to the promulgation of the new rates, which would have become effective November 1, but for the injunction of the courts. In view of the fact that there has been a general decrease in the rate per ton per mile on all traffic of the defendant rail roads, the lumbermen had no reason to expect an Increase in the lumber rates, but were rather led to look for a reduc tion, if any change was to be made. Taking this view of the situation, and in many cases at the solicitation of rep lesentatives of the railroads, the lumber men largely Increased their Investments In the Northwest and spent considerable money In Introducing their lumber into the markets of the Rocky Mountain and Mississippi Valley states. They were en couraged to believe that the old rates would be continued. Had there been any intimation that the rate was to be In creased, they would not have made such extensive investments. The enforcement of the new rates would render practically inaccessible the markets of the Middle West. Even under the old rates it was difficult for the Oregon and Washington manufacturers to compete for the Chi cago market and the markets of the North Central States. The lumber manufacturers of the Northwest come in competition with the lumber manufacturers of the yellow pine district in the Southern States in all the territory west of Chicago, and with the lumber products of Wisconsin and Minne sota In the Chicago territory, reaching as far west as St. Paul. The Southern man ufacturers enjoy a lower rate into this territory than do the manufacturers ot Oregon and Washington, and If the new rate is enforced, the Nortli western mllTs will be unable to compete In this dis trict. Old Charges Remunerative. The lumbermen assert that rates in effect prior to November 1 were always tiion fair miH unriiilv remunerative for the railroads, and that the traffic and earnings of each of the defendant roads hna hoon constantly increasing for many- years past. These roads at all times have earned large profits under the old lumber rates, anolieretore. it is anegea. mai no inAM'aaA !.. v, T-mittpri. The tro- posed advance is not necessary because of any changed conditions anecimg me transportation of lumber, or the service required in connection therewith, or by the financial condition of the railroads. The allegation is made that the capital stock of each of the defendant railroad companies greatly exceeds, as to the pub lic and as a basis for rates, the actual ,.. .. ,y, rtnotrntfnn and eouinment of the roads, and the value of all their property devoted to the public use, and as a basis for rates tne Donuea inueuic -f ,aih rtf sfi.lH roods crossly ex ceeds the fair value of Its property, and that It is unjust io impose lius hiui i i nl.H, nnv flK-IHends on such 111 ,!!' - li, v ' . i, v. i . i j r- ,vnci,.a atnnk the nrlncinal and Interest on excessive bonds; indeed, it is declared that on a proper basis tne tormer raieu were unjust and unreasonable. Through the alleged conspiracy of the Hill and ti. evetmc it is charged that the railroads maintain a schedule of rates calculated to return an unreasonably high profit upon the capital actually Invested, all of which is declared can be demon strated If the roads are compelled to pro- ...... tknlr ,rtr,Us UUVC H 1 1 .. -rv. rr,iir,tion of the advanced rate- on lumber would not only affect the lumber manufacturers but would deprive the pub lic In competitive territory of the benefit of obtaining Pacific Coast lumber. Neither the dealers nor the consumers win aosoro j j,.n una the Pacific Coast manu facturer, because of competition, would be unable to advance the prices of his lumber sufficiently to cover the advance In rates. Ask Tor Fair Schedule. In view of the foregoing facts the Ore i n'ooiMnirtnn Lumber Manufac I4'WL UJIU turers' Association asks that the Inter state Commerce Commission, after due hearing, issue an order compelling the railroads to return to their old rates and r-Ammlfinn also definitely fix ,i ... -, will be fair and reason able and they further ask that the Com mission fix no rates In access or tnose in effect Immediately prior to Jiovemocr l The Taclfic Coast Lumber Manufactur ers' Association Is very similar to that of r oH Washlneton Association. but reference is made to the restraining order of the Court wnicn permits uua roads to charge but not collect the new nonrilnir a determination by the - rr their reasonableness. It is also alleged In detail that under an agreement between tne run lines ami un Harrlman lines, tne .-sorinwesi is par ij k.i..,n them. Washington constl QUICTI LJ L ,. . . uni tti-itrr- and Orenoii Harrl man territory. Under this agreement it Is said that neither .-oad will Invade the territory of the other and tnat on snip ments of lumber originating in the terri tory of the one and transported over the lines of the other a large If not prohibi tive differential in rates is exacted so that each road dominates tne transporta tion from points within its own territory. The advance in rates was brought about by agreement between the Hill and Harrl man lines to suppress competition and fo their mutual advantage, without regard to the interests of the public. This agree ment is said to constitute a combination and restraint of Interstate trade, in viola tion of the law. All Traffic Could Bear. The Washington lumbermen declare that the old rates were as great as the lumber traffic could bear and greater than a large part of the product would bear and had the rates been lower the Washington mills could have marketed $20,000,000 of low grade lumber which actually went to waste because it could not stand the freight charges to the markets of the North Central States. After quoting the gross earnings and expenses of the vari ous lines and showing the surplus of each as well as the dividends pan,, the com plaint alleges that the gross revenue de rived by the Northern Pacific from the .handling of lumber exceed by several million dollars the entire operating ex penses of the company attributable to Its freight business, so that the revenue de rived from all other freight traffic may be classified as net earnings. The petitioners assert that a low grade commoo.it- which bears such a burden and contributes so substantially to gross and net earnings, Is highly profitable to '.he carrier. It is argued that lumber and forest products are entitled to as low a rate as will permit the traffic 5 move freely and to afford fair compensation to the carriers. Under the old rates the traffic was profitable to the railroads, the tonnage was large and would be larger If the carriers would furnish the cars required, which they have' failed and There is a certain class of men who are not interested in being well dressed but YOU are not in that class.

Mills Forced to Close. "From information derived from dealers In 14 states to which the Washington lumbermen have heretofore shipped large quantities of lumber, it is shown that tne markets in those states will be and are practically destroyed by reason of the increased rate." say the petitioners. Many mills have been forced to shut down or dispose of their product at ruinous prices; coastwise and loreign markets are very unsatisfactory and should the normal product of existing mills be forced upon the local market the result will be a complete demoralization in prices, whlch'will be disastrous In Its effort upon the lumber Industry. Inter state shipments will be confined to the very highest grades of lumber and In consequence the waste necessary to secure these grades will be very great. The complaint of the Western Ore gon Lumber Manufacturers Association niralnst the Southern Pacific and tne ure- gon & California Railroad Companies is aimed at the advance made on April 18, 1907. on shipments of lumber from Wil lamette Valley points to points in Cali fornia, from $3.10 a ton to $3 a ton of 2000 pounds. The old rate was voluntarily fixed by the railroad companies and the Increase is said to be unjust, unreasonable and discriminatory, and would have the effect of driving the Oregon mills out of the California market. As In the other complaints, it Is alleged that the advance was not made necessary by reason of any conditions connected with the transportation of lumber. It is admitted that the rate in effect Just prior to April 18. 1907. was fair and remunerative for the railroads and that the Southern Pacific has substantially Increased Its net revenue under the old tariff. The same charge of "watering" Is made In this case as Is made against Hill and other Harrlman roads, and the valley lumbermen protest against the rate, if It Is Imposed to pay returns on Inflated values. The complainants declare that the in creased rate deprives the public in Cali fornia of tho benefit of obtaining lumber from Willamette Valley mills. This gives the California manufacturers a monopoly and enables them to fix prices at will. At the time the new rate was put into effect many of the Willamette Valley lumbermen had outstanding a large num ber of contracts for the sale and delivery of lumber for California points, all of which contracts were made and ordered to be shipped under the old rates. But the Southern Pacific did not furnish enough ears to deliver this lumber and many of the orders were cancelled by the pur chasers because of the advance in rates. In other instances the lumhermen of the valley were compelled to live up to their contracts and sustained heavy loss by reason of being compelled to pay the higher rates. Since April 18, 1907, the Oregon lumber manufacturers have been compelled to withdraw from the Cali fornia markets and it is said that their losses, due to the raise in rates, will amount to many thousands of dollars to each mill. The exact loss Is not stated but It Is said correct figures can be estab lished at the hearing next month. The petitioners ask the Commission to set aside the rate made effective April 18. and to substitute reasonable rates for the shipment of lumber from Oregon to points In California, none of the rates to exceed those In effect prior to April 18 last. It is further asked that the Com mission require the railroads to pay all damages sustained by the Oregon lumber men as the result of the advance In rates. HEAD SPLIT WITH AN AX INDIAN WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN POLK COUNTY. Man With Whom She Lived Is Put In Jail, Under the Charge of Murder. SHERIDAN, Or., Nov. 21. (Special.) Evidence of a foul murder was uncovered by Polk County authorities early this morning when the dead body of Adaline Bond, an Indian woman of 30. was found with her skull crushed In by the blade of an ax. Enoch Storce, also an Indian, who gave the information which led to the finding of the body, is in jail et Dallas charged with tne muroer. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. Adaline Bond was the wife of Frank Bond, but had left her red man spouse to live with Storce, a man about 40 years old. It Is believed that a quarrel took place while the two were chopping wood and that In the heat of pass-ion Storce struck the blow which resulted In the woman's death. Storce evidently repented later for he went to the farm of Silas Blair, and asked for assistance, saying the woman was badly injured. The authorities wore notified, and an Investigation made thl3 morning with the result that Storce now languishes in the County Jail with the charge of murder against him. Storce was at one time a student at the Chem awa Indian School. The scene of the crime is five miles southeast of Sheridan in Polk County. Relief for Oregon Pensioner.

When, three years ago, Mr. Eaton created TEDDY-B and TEDDY-G and started them on their tour of the world, he builded better than he knew. He gave to tho nursery two new characters as interesting and as lovable as Silverlocks and Red Riding Hood. These Teddy Bears have now turned detectives, and have undertaken to solve the mysteries and to explain the riddles and to answer the questions which for centuries have been puzzling boys and girls. They are engaged by Little Bo-Peep to tind her sheep ; they set out to trap a Fairy Queen and get into a peck of trouble; they explore the secret rooms in the House that Jack built; they secure the arrest of the wolf who frightened Little Retl Riding Hood's granny; they discover the murderer of Cock Robin ; they take up one mvstery after another and using all the detective accessories of a Sherlock Holmes they search out the guilty parties and win the applause of the children. These new stories are written in the same merry jingles which have made Mr. Eaton's Teddv Bear books so readable and entertaining. They are brim full of pointed humor which the older readers will recognize as a burlesque upon popular "detective stories, but which will be appreciated by the children as harmonizing beautifully in imaginative detail with the famous nursery stories upon which these new creations have been founded. Every line is clean and wholesome-, every suggestion is generous and kindly; and every picture intelligent and funny. Nothing better than the Teddy Bear stories has been offered to children for many a long day. Mr. Eaton, himself, considers this new series, by all odds, his best.
