SEATTLE MEETING STORMY Representatives of Paeiflc North western Associations Korce A. 1. . A. to (-.rant Concessions. Agreement a Compromise. Physical Director Orilley of the local T. M. L. A., returned yesterday from the conference of the Athletic I-rague of North America held at Seattle. Mr. Grllley and other physical director had determined to make certain demands which up to this date the league directors had seen fit to Ignore and a stormy meet ing was looked for. However, the nrm stand tnken on the question by the Port land delegate made it obvious to the cen tral committee's, representative that a compromise was advisable. The moat important motion coining be fore the conference was that a separate association bo formed for the Pacific Northwest, on the ground that the cen tral com mitt co had given very little at tention to the Pacific Northwest associa tions in the way of granting permits for meets, and also in the matter of holding athletic meets. Mr. Urilley proposed that the Paeiilc Northwest associations break away from the parent league and form an independent league. He con tended that the. league depended largely upon the Western associations for finan cial support and that this action would force the A. 1- N. A. to ronio to terms. After an animated discussion, remark able for the variety of views shown by the various delegates. Dr. Oeorge J. Kisher, representing the A. L. N. A. sug gested a compromise on the trems that the associations continue their contribu tions for the maintainence of the league. but be allowed to hold their athletic con tests through a branch of the league to be established Wi the West. Dr. Fisher argued that one great democratic body was of far greater value to the parts composing it than two or more smaller leagues. Having settled this question, the ques tion of a Summer school for physical directors or men proposing to take up the work was discussed. It was moved that a school on the lines of the Lake Oeorge school be established. However, the expense of a school for one month seemed to be to great and after con siderable discussion Oearhart Park was aeleoted as the venue for this Summer, when a two weeks' school will be held. The members will be addressed by men of International reputation. A society for Physical Directors was formed and going into committee the con ference elected Mr. Urilley first president. In recognition of his labors on behalf of the Pad tic Northwest associations. G. A. Smith, of Vancouver, B. C, received the vote for vice-prejIdent, and A. G. Douthltt. of Seattle, was appointed Sec retary. In order to get a working com mittee Mr. Grilley appointed H. Booth, of Tacoma. and T. G. Cowley, of Spokane. as members. 1 his committee made various recommendations which were latur accepted by the conference. "1 believe this was the strongest con ference ever held in the West," said Mr. Grilley yesterday. "Every physical director being present with two excep tions. I hoje that this, conference will pave the way for the conference the Y. M. C A. Is to hold at Ocean View, N. J.. in June, when I shall represent Portland and the West, and where the Western as sociations may have other points to bring up. "In the Seattle conference, despite the somewhat stormy meetings, a genial spirit was apparent, and in my opinion this foreshadows a better understanding between the Individual associations. Will Wrestle April 15. April 15 is the date set for the wrestling match between Dr. B. F. Roller, of Seat tle, and Victor. McLaglen, of Tacoma, which is scheduled to be held in the Hei lig Theater, in this city. Both men are tn training for the bout and will come to Portland next week tor the purpose of finishing their preliminary work. Me lxlcn will work out with Dan Sullivan, while Roller will bring his wrestling part ner from Seattle, and will probably work POHTI.On RASKBAM. TEAM OF out at the Multnomah Club. McT,aglen will do his training at Tommy Traccy's gymnasium. Plan to Coach Not re Dame. Victor H. Place, coach of the University of "Washington football team last season, has signed a contract to take charge of the eleven at Notre Dame I'niverwity dur ing the coming season. Place, who Is practicing law at Seattle, la one of the best-informed authorities in America on the great college game, and met with fair success at Washington last season. Place announces that this will be his last year in football. Pallas Team Goes to Snohomish. DALLiAS. Or., March 31. (Special.) The basketball team of Dallas College left this afternoon for Snohomish. Wash., where the first game of a series of three will be played to decide the champion ship of the Pacific Coast. Roth the Dallas team and the Snohomish team have been undefeated on the PacifV Coast during the present season, and their claims on the championship honors are equal. PROSPERITY IN LINCOLN COUNTY HAS MA VY INDUSTRIES AND PRODUCTS. O. V. Hurt, Now a Resident of WaTd lMrt, Tells of' Activities in the A I sea Bay District. "Horticulture, lumber, dairy products and salmon packing are the principal In dustries of Waldport, Lincoln County said O. V. Hurt, of that city. last night. Mr. Hurt formerly was engaged in the general merchandise business at Cor vallts. but. removed to Waldport. "The district surrounding AValdport, which is located at the mouth of the Alsea Bay. Is not confined to the fish ing industry by any means." said Mr. Hurt. "On the last trip of the steamer Condor, representing the Waldport Lum ber Company, its cargo included 300 boxes of the finest quality of Baldwin apples. Lincoln. County also produces an exceptional quality of Spltzenberg and Ben Davis apples. The capacity of the new lumber mill of the Waldport Lum ber Company will be increased to 50.000 feet dally and the manufactured goods will consist of the finest spruce, hemlock and fir. "Our dairy products will establish a new standard for the state, while our salmon canneries are making a record in caring for the Chinook, steelheads and sllversides. Lincoln County also affords the principal source for crabs on the Oregon Coast. The further development of our immedin te section Is dependent on an extension 'of the railroad from Yaquina City to Waldport. a distance of 15 miles, which we consider is probable In a few years." Mr. Hunt is well known In Benton and Lincoln Counties and is highly esteemed. His friends will be glad to know that the troubles with which his family's name was connected several years since the unfortunate Cereffield episode and Its consequences appear now to be In the past, and that Mr. Hunt's affairs are once more prosperous and peaceful. Throughout Mr. Hurt has retained the respect and sympathy of all. WELCOME REALTY AGENTS Salem Plans to Entertain Portland Board Members. Hpnry W. Fries and J. O. Rountree. president and secretary, respectively, of tlie Portland Realty Foard, have received assurances from the Board of Trade and the real estate men of Salem that a fitting reception will be accorded the Renlty Board when their excursion, that ts to leave Portland next Saturday morning, arrives in that city. The visitors will be escorted in due form to the Horse Show and taken to places of Interest throughout the city. . . Tom Richardson, of the Commercial Club, is lending his aid to make the ex cursion a success, and will accompany the members of the board. Two cars will be reserved for . the real estate men and their friends, and the train will leave the depot at Kront and Jefferson streets promptly at 9 o'clock, arriving at Salem at 11:15; starting back at 4 P. M. and ar riving in Portland at :15. ., 1DOR. PHOTlKiR APII KD AT SALINAS. TUBE UNDER RIVER Favored by Members of Exec utive Board. OLD PLAN IS UP AGAIN Sullivan U rges A ppro pr i a t ion for Report on Cost of Subway at Site of the Present Mailison Mrcet Bridge. Mayor Jaue and several members of the City Kxerutive Board, especially P. E. Sullivan, favor the construction of a subway under the Willamette as a solu tion of the traffic problem. Sentiment favoring a tube under tho river at Madi son strent, to replace the present bridge, was freely expressed yesterday at an ad journed meeting of the board. Mr. Sul livan sought to secure an additional ap propriation for the purpose of obtaining a preliminary survey and an approximate estimate of the cost of such an under taking. He expressed the firm belief that this is the best plan for handling traffic to and from the East Slue. The discussion occurred in connection with the consideration by the board of the proposed high bridge across the river at the Alhina ferry slip. Owing to the fact that it would require probably iOno to secure the desired information as to the cost and feasibility of a subway, no action was taken. At the present time a movement is on foot to vote bonds for the construction of a new bridge at Mad ison street. The problem of the construction of a high bridge at Albina 3, resents many dif ficult phases. At the meeting yesterday the board voted power to City Engineer Taylor to use what remains of the $1000 appropriation, recently granted by the Council, to secure what Information .e could concerning the bridge plan from Ralph Modjeski. an expert engineer, or from other sources. Some of the members of the board ex pressed the belief that the cost of the proposed high bridge will run up to $2,000,000, but it seems impossible to make a very accurate estimate without prelimi nary examinations. A complete report would cost about ISnoo. Mr. Modjeski de cline to do anything for less than $1000, and for that amount he would not give as detailed a report as is desired by the members of the board before action is taken. PLEA AGAINST FORFEITURE Has O. & C. Land Grantee Any Equi ties Because of Free Transportation? TsEABI'RO, Or., March no. (To the Ed itor.) Doubtless there are many of your readers who belle v. as does the writer, that the Snuthern Pacific Railroad Company U not wholly devoid of equities in the mat ter of the Oregon & California land grant, notwithstanding the so-called illesal sales of portions of Its grant. For the benefit of such, please state throufth the columns of The Oregonian what are the facts in the following propositions: rid not Congress grant these lands for a valuable consideration. namely the free transportation of all Government business forever over some 500 miles Qf road of the grantee or its asigns. when built? Since the road was built has not the Government ac cepted and freely availed Itself of this free transportation, and Is It not doing so now; and has It not in the past, particularly dur ing the Spanish-American War. routed as much public property over this line as pos sible tn order to avoid payment of trans portation charges over other lines, thus un duly Increasing the value of the consider ation received Has not In the past the railroad company given this free service, worth many hundreds of thousands of dol lars, willingly and without protest, and is it not giving it now? Let us have the facts In relation to this free transportation stipulated In the act of Congress granting the land. If any such provision was incorporated in the act, and the Government ha these many years availed Itself of the nrivlleges It confers. It would seem as though the poposed action against the railroad comrtny to forfeit it grant would stand In much the same cate gory as that of a vendor, having accepted a consideration with a definite monetary value for certain property, attempting to specifiy and enforce the manner in which the vendee should be permitted to manage and dispose of the property conveyed. If a free transportation clause Is really a part of the granting act, and If the rail road, company bu la the past and is now ' i rendering such service it is the opinion of the writer that the time la not un very remot" when the public- will have received full and actual value for tho land gHnted. And if such is the case why should not the rail) nad company, an a simple matter of equity, have the right to manage Ihf prop erty it Is paying for In any way It ees flt. provision to contrary In the grit n ting act notwithstanding. JOHN B. LKIRKRGK It Is entirely aside from the Question to Inquire as to whether or not the Southern Paeiflc Railroad has given free service, dur ing many years to the I'nited States Govern ment. The point is whether It has complied with the terms of the Oregon & California land grunt In selling to "actual settlers" for 2.30 per acre and in tracts not exceeding H10 acres to such purchaser. ' It has not In these vital particulars complied with the terms of the grant. It does not even pre tend that it has done so. and for some year?, indeed. It has not sold the lands on any terms. The I'nited States Government never gave to the Southern Tactile, or any other railroad, a land grant to be held as a private- reserve on the one hand, or to be void on feuch terms as suited the grantee on the other. If the Southern Pacific had compiled with the terms of its grant, even approxi mately, it would not now bo face to face Willi possible or prohhle forfeiture. EXPECTS EARLY DECISION j. x. tkaij discvssks the lumber-rate CASES. Lawyer Returns From Washington, Where He Argued Two Suits riled by Millmcn. An early decision from the Inter state Commerce Commission is expect ed by J. N. Teal, ot this city, in the two important lumber-rate cases now pending' before that body. Mr. Teal returned yesterday from Washington, where he appeared as attorney for the lumber manufacturers in suits tg reg ulate the rates on lumber and Its products from the Pacific Coast points to Eastern territory. The cases were argued and submitted, and Mr. Teal, who appeared for the "complaining In terests, expects that a decision will be returned as soon as the Commission can reach the controversy and the points at Issue. In the case of the Oregon and Wash ington lumber manufacturers, known as the "Eastern rate case," the rail roads are sought to be enjoined from enforcing an increase of from 10 to 25 per cent In the rates of lumber and its products from Oregon to Denver and points further East. In tho case of the Willamette Valley lumbermen, for whom Mr. Teal also appeared, it is de manded that the former price of $3.10 per ton be restored on all lumber shipped to San Francisco Bay points. The present rate charged Is $ a ton. "If It is possible to bring the Fulton amendment to the Interstate Commerce Commission law before the United States Senate at the present session," said Mr. Teal yesterday, T believe it will pass. This amendment proposes that an increased rate in the tariffs of a corporation shall not be enforced until the reasonableness of the ad vanced charge shall be determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It is unfortunate that Senator Fulton could not remain at Washington, per sonally, to look after this important amendment. No other member of the Senate will take the Interest in the proposed amendment that Senator Ful ton manifested. -and I am satisfied that all that would be required to insure the passage of the amendment would be to have someone bring it before the Sen ate." Mr. Teal said yesterday that It would be his purpose to Investigate the "gate way" situation In this city, and per sonally to lend his assistance to rem edying the existing conditions.

In the Munh-lpitl Court yesterday forenoon. Knur friends, Ij Koimlslne. his brother Aithur. licorge and Leslie Snialley. had been arrested for rnsag Iuk In an encounter following a gmne of cards. Th trouble occurred In Ueorgc Smalleys room, and the sounds of the scrimmage attracted Patrolman tlurrl. who arrested all four. An over turned card-table lay In the middle of the room, but the officer paid no atten tion to that at the time, tint of the Smalleys ventured the information that they had been playlne casino for citrt-.rs when the unhappy dispute arnrt ovir a point in the game. When the four men were placed on trial for engaging In a flKhl yester day morning, there was a tendency on the part of the Smalleys to lay the blame of .the trouble on Martin J.a Kountalne. They said he had not played fairly. It was then that the quartet fell into deep water. "f whs not the man to start the trouble." said I.a Kountalne. earnestly, as he took the witness-stand. "I'll tell you Just how it happened. Klrst, we were playing for the drinks. Then w decided It would be more Interesting to place a small value on the chips. Wo made the limit 3 cents. It kept getting stlffer and stlffer. until the limit was up to $2". About this time a big pot was made. I opened on two pairs, tieorgo Smalley stayed In and drew three cards. I drew one and bet five. He raised me. I called, llo refused to show down his hand, and I started raking In the pot with my two pairs. Then ho said that wasn't right and hit me in tho face. That was exactly how it happened." La Fountaine testified in a convinc ing way. Intent on assuring the court that he had done nothing wrong. If it wasn't right to hit back after being slapped, he said, he didn't know the difference between right and wrong. "What game was It you we.re play ing?" City Prosecutor Tomllnson in quired ominously., - La Fuuntalne must have become aware at that instant of the error he had made In describing the "casino" game so minutely, for he paled per ceptibly and began stammering an ex planation. "The game you have Just described sounds very much like poker," said Mr. Tomlinson: "and since you have said under oath that you opened the pot. bet Ave and all that. I think the charge had best be changed to one of gambling. It took a very few' minutes to make out four splc-and-span new complaint, and the quartet was re-arrested for gambling. Inasmuch as there was no way for them to deny the charge con sistently, they admitted having parti cipated in the poker game. George Snialley, in whose place the game oc cured, was fined $J0, bis brother was taxed 5, while the La Fountaines paid J10 each. An Insurance agent is In the City Jail under suspicion of being a burglar, and all because he couldn't sleep Mon day night. His name is William Kes tian, he lives on Harrison street, and represents a big Kastern company. Ho may be turned loose today. Bcstian made the acquaintance of thv police shortly after 4 o'clock yes terday morning. At that unseemly hour he was wandering about South Portland. Patrolman Bcwley stopped him on suspicion, and reaching to Bestlans pocket, found a loaded re volver. Protests availed the Insurance man nothing, after that. He was taken to Second and Oak streets and locked up in the rookery which serves the city as a jail, hut which would be raided by the health authorities if conducted by private individuals. After six hours of Jail life. Bcstian was taken before Judge Cameron, where he Insisted on being turned loose at once. He, explained his vocation, and said he was out walking In the early morning because of being unable to sleep. He had slipped the revolver in his pocket for protection. being rather uneasy at venturing abroad In the dark. Judge Cameron' told the paiice to make a thorough investigation of Bes tlan's standing and habits, and if his record proves satisfactory, to release him. Otherwise the charges of being out after hours and carrying a con cealed weapon will be pressed against him. OPENS CAMPAIGN TODAY ISose Festival Association Plans to Advertise June Sliou.
