THE MORNING, OREGON'IAX. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1910. GONLEY ALL BUT ECLIPSES WEBSTER FORESTER GIVES TTTTJi MILITARY ACADEMY BASKETBALL TEAM. COWLITZ REPLY Rapid Footwork and Clever Dodging Save Angeleno From Defeat. Senator Jones Investigates Complaints Affecting Homesteads. FIRST BOUTS ARE LEMONS VIGOROUS ANSWER MADE Kenosha, Wis., Boxer Astounds Spec tators YTio Class Him With At tell. Opponent's Mixing Xcar Fatal. Conley's- Covering Stellar. BY W. J. PETRAIN. It was lucky for. Danny Webster that he la a quick boxer. Had he not been so active on his feet and agile in his movements at the Exposition Rink last night, Frankle Conley, of Kenosha, Wis., would today have but one rival to dispute hifl claim to supremacy in the bantam-weight division of the pugilistic world. Conley proved a surprise in his action against the speedy little Los Angeles scrapper. Webster is well known on the pacific Coast, while the Kenosha land was ecarcejy heard of out this way before his visit to Portland. -As the battle ended with both lads firmly on their feet, and with only a shade to favor the rugged little Wisconsin boy, it would be an injustice to Web ster to call it other than a draw. Such I tt was, and it was also the most spec- j tacular exhibltipn seen in Portland for many years. Webster is a boxer par excellence. He depends on his science more than he does on his hitting proclivities. But Conley Is a rugged, hard-hitting chap, who relishes in-fighting better than any other mode of aggressiveness. He is surely entitled to be considered in reckoning a champion possibility In this division. It is safe to place Conley in the same class as Attell and Web ster In all departments. Preliminaries Are Mild. The main event served to satisfy the crowd, ' which was disappointed at the showing of the preliminary boxers. The first preliminary was between Jack Tucker and Jack Moriarity. It went only one-third the distance, as Tucker put over a haymaker in the second round, which gave Moriarity visions' of comets of all descriptions. The bout was stopped. Danny O'Brien, the Portland favorite, pcored his first knockout since he em braced the boxing game. He hooked a hard right to Charley RayTs jaw in the third round and the Oaklander took the count. O'Brien displayed better style than on his previous appearance. When Conley appeared, a little late, he was greeted with applause, but Webster, being better known, was cheered to the echo. Soon after the boxers commenced their argument, popular approval went to the Oonely standard. Starting off like whirlwinds the rival claimants to the bantam title showed a skill in all branches of the self-defense game that was a revelation. Webster, a sterling hoxer at all times, made a mis take in showing willingness to mix with the strong little chap from Kenosha. In the second round Webster went to the mat after one of these mlxups, but he did not seem to learn a leason. His coachers failed to caution him against mixing with Conley, who showed him self early to be the stronger and also more aggressive. This mistake came near costing Webster the bout, for Conley gave him a great deal of trouble in the third round. This evidently awakened the IjOS Angeles lad. Webster's Leads Kail. Conley has a most peculiar style of covering which puzzled Webster. Web ster's leads were blocked effectually, and It was all he could do in the earlier rounds to evade the rushes of the Keno shaphenom. Webster, when he finally did resort to the straight boxing game, easily evaded Conley at all stages. In fact, at times the lxs Angeles law ap peared so fast In hitting and getting away, that Conley seemed hopelessly out of It. However. Webster showed bio great fondness for mixing. This was just what the Eastern boy wanted. In n the mlxups. where infighting told. Con ley had the better of the argument from any viewpoint. Hitherto the Kenosha lad has "been Ignored by the matchmakers of Cali fornia, and it was up to the Rose City Athletic Club to introduce the .young boxer to his first real appearance on on the Coast. That is was an auspi cious start goes without saying, for any of the 2000 fans assembled at the rink last night will bear witness that Conley deserves recognition, and in a bout longer than 10 rounds, had it oc curred last night, he woujd likely have defeated Webster. Webster did not seem to take Con ley seriously, and by so doing nearly made a fatal mistake. Conley is too rugged and strong to be mistaken for an easy mark. Last night's exhibition was clean rut. A more scientific argument be tween little boxers has not been seen in any ring. Both were gentlemanly about the match, and only once was either heard to complain. Then Con ley protested to Referee Grant about Webster's declination to hold his glove. Opening1 Matches Sour. The. opening bouts appeared to be lemon-picking picnics for Jack Tucker ttnd Danny O'Brien. The former was pent In to give an exhibition with Jack Moriarity. Moriarity possessed a "wind mill" punch which lie endeavored to direct in the direction of Tucker, but the best he did was to cut wide . circles in the atmosphere. Finally he managed to put his jaw in the way of a right cross from Tucker. This ended the curtain raiser in the second round, and the fiasco was followed by a scheduled ten-round affair between Danny O'Brien and Charles Rayl. Kay) opened the engagement In a busi-aiofv-like manner in the first round, but O'Brien also proceeded to get busy In the third, and one of Danny's well directed punches lodged on the jaw of Rayl. who performed the feat of his pre decessor, . Moriarity, by counting num erous stars. louble Basketball Game "Planned. VANCOUVER. Wash., Feb! a. ( Spe cial.)

Judge Advocate Holds That Civic Liberty Must "ot Prejudice Rights of Others. RHKIMS," France, Feb. 3. The Judge Advocate in the trial of Cardinal Lu con, accused by the Public School Teachers' Association of attempting to cripple the public schools through the agency of an Episcopal letter, submit ted his conclusions today. He described the charge and court proceedings as a grave affair, attracting the attention of all France. He characterized the Episcopal letter as a declaration of war against the public schools, inciting to insurrection. . Three questions. theTudge-Advoeate said, were involved the facts, the law and the court's competency. Relative to the first he argued that the liberty which . came with the separation of church and state was only such liberty as was common to all citizens. Those enjoying this liberty must not prejudice the rights of others or violate the laws of the Republic. ROSELAIR MAY GET STAY Condemned- Wife Murderer's Appeal Is Being-' Prepared. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 3. Friday. Fehruary 11. is the date set for the execution of John r. Roselair, the Hillsboro wife mur derer, but itv is iot likely now that he will swing at the end of a rope on the gallows on that date, as his lawyers are laboring hard for a stay of execution, and it is understood that it wIH be granted. When Roselair, in December, was convicted of murder in the first de gree for the killing of his wife and sen tenced to hang, it was understood that an appeal would not toe prosecuted to the Supreme Court, but since that time It has been decided to appeal the case, and the lawyers are now busily engaged In preparing it. and will ask for a stav of execution, it is said, in sufficient time to prevent his eexcution on the date set. Roselalr takes his incarceration in the death cell at the state prison calmly. Since his imprisonment he has acted rationally and takes his sentence" coolly.

MILITIA FAVORS ATHLETICS Third Regiment Delegates Plan Re vival of Association. The third regiment of the Oregon National Guard will meet nest Tues day night at the Armory. Tenth and Couch streets, for the purpose of re organizing an athletic association among the members of the guard. Some years ago the old First Infantry had an athletic association which was held to be equal to the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and the Portland Athletic Club, but after the disruption of the guard at the outbreak of the Spanish American War, the athletic association ceased to exist. Prominent members of the guard have taken the subject up recently, and on Tuesday night delegates from each company and from the board of officers will meet at the armory to reorganize the athletic branch. The armory is equipped with a spacious gymnasium and the enthusiastic advocates of the athletic branches hope to make it one of the most popular athletic organiza tions in the city. Berkeley's Star Pitcher Gone. ' UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Ber keley. Cal.. Feb. 3. Baseball prospects- for this year have received a serious setback by the announcement that "Bill" Forker, who last year pitched the winning 17 lnnlng game, is not In college this term. As there was really no good substitute last year this leaves the development of a man for that position necessary. "Louie" Lewis, who has filled the posi tion of shortstop on the team for two years, will this year endeavor to pilot th team to victory- Manager Mer ritt has arranged a full schedule of games, with the season com mencing February 6 and lasting- until th second week in April. This year if a third game is necessary In the California-Stanford series it will be played here. Invitation Saves Comiskey. MARIANNA. Ark., Feb. 8. The pos session of a written Invitation to hunt has saved Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago Americans, and his guests, aboard the little craft White Sox, from arrest at the hands of the. Game War den of Arkansas. Preparations had been made by Warden Visart to arrest the hunters when his attention was called to a recently enacted statute which makes it permissible for a resi dent of another state to hunt in Desha County if he had a written invitation. It happened that the party was in the county specified and they had the in vitations. Besides Comiskey In the party are B. B. Johnson, president of the American League; William Chap pelle, Ed Hurlburt and Charles Shield and other baseball players. Vancouver to Play Washougal. WASHOUGAL, Wash., Feb. 3. (Spe cial.)

Girls Goot and Nagel forwards; Shields center; Webber and Webber guards; Self and Brock sub stitutes. Saturday evening the fast Spartan team of Portland Y. M. C. A. will meet the Washougal team here. FAN DOM AT RANDOM C ID HUMPHREY, a lightweight box- kj er of Los Angeles, who arrived in' Portland recently, is anxious to secure a match for an exhibition bout with Danny O'Brien or Gene West, the two Portland boys who are quite popular among the followers of the boxing game at present. San Francisco writers of sporting news are flattering themselves into the belief that Danny Long has put one over on McCredle by picking up Rex Ames, the little twirler McCredie had during the Spring workouts of 1908. Mac may have passed up a "live one," but he does it so seldom that the fans will forgive him in this instance. "Spider" Baum, the coast pitcher, who was one of the mainstays of the Sac ramento Club last year, is worried over the possibility of his being com pelled to play in the East during the coming season. Baum has been ordered to report to the Montreal Club, and it is one of the objectionable features of the baseball situation when a player is compelled to go to a place against' his will. At the Spokane meeting Wednesday night the reporters and some of the magnates of the Northwestern League voted to boost to secure reentry into Portland for 1911. That is the way to do things. Go to the meeting of the National Association and demand rec ognition. If you don't get it, go out law and they'll come to time like they did with the "bankrupt" California State League. "Truck" Egan seems to have passed from the fold of the Pacific Coast League, for the former champion slug ger has asked Charley Graham ' for a berth with the Sacramento ijtate League Club. For 10 years "Truck" was the terror to pitchers of the old California League which later branched out to the Pacific -Coast organization, and his many friends regret his de cline. Harry McArdle, the speedy San Fran cisco infielder. who is generally recog nized as one of the best shortstops who ever came to the coast, is to bat left handed this season. The change may help Mac wonderfully, for he was woe fully weak as a sticker when hitting right handed, and some players havo been known to improve with the re versing of their position at bat. "Speck" Harkness and Frank Schmie der, the latter a trainer, will leave Portland February 20 to renort to the Cleveland American League team at Alexandria, La., and both are anxiously awaiting the date of departure. Hark ness has' signed his contract with Cleve land and returned same to Manager Mc Guire. Louie Long, the Spokane boxer who appeared here recently, returned to Portland yesterday and is now nego tiating for a match at Vancouver, B. C. Long expects to get the match at the British Columbia metropolis which would otherwise have gone to Gene West. A large percentage "of sport critics continue to assert that it is up to Jeff ries to regain the heavyweight title. The poor benighted things never stop to think that they will have an awful hard job demonstrating when, .where, how and at whose hands James J. Jeff ries ever lost the title. Charge That Inexperienced M en Were Sent to Western State and Placed In Charge of Forests Is Met With Strong Denial. OREGONIAX ?CEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 19. Complaints have been re ceived by Senator Jones from residents of the Cowlitz Valley regrardin& the methods of the Forest Service, that it seemed al most impossible to get the approval of the Servioe to an app 1 1 cat! on to secure a homestead within the limits of the Rai nier National Forest ;that land was post ed for "administrative sites" that would have made good homes for some worthy settler; other good sites were reserved for rangers quarters ; tlmt inexperienced men were sent to Washington and placed in charge of the forests and several other troubles of like nature. The Senator felt that there must be two sides to some of the oom plaints especially with -reference to the sites for homes for the forest rangens In that .if they were not given on the public lands of the reserve the Government might be compelled "to buy them elsewhere. Jones Gets Vigorous Reply. But, in order to .ascertain as to whether or not too many such sites had been re served. Jones took up the matter with the Forest Service and has received a let ter In which these complaints are an swered by the Forester In a very vigorous and no uncertain tone. In this letter the Forester says: Since the act of June f 11. 1906., which authorizes the listing of lands within Na tional forests chiefly valuable for agricul ture and not needed for public purposes, was put Into effect, there have been listed on the Rainier National forest more than 60 different tract aggregating approximate ly 35X acres. It ia, therefore, evident that your correspondents were misinformed when they were told that it was impossi ble for a settler to get the approval of the Forest Service to an application to secure a homestead In the limits of the forest. You. I am sure, will agree that in de ciding whether land is chiefly valuable tor agriculture the future needs of the com munity for Umber and the, . expectation value of mature timber on the land be cox sldered. as well as the value of the agricultural crops which the land will pro duce if cleared. In regious where improved land can be had for far less than -the cost of clearing National forest land that Is no better, or where an abundance of cheap cut-over land is on the market, it is not believed that the extensive homesteading of heavily timbiVd Rational forest land would now be a Vse and economic policy or a teneflt to the West Small Tracts Scattered. The "administrative sites" referred to are the small tracts scattered throughout the forests, withdrawn from disposal under any of the public land laws. In order that they may be used in administering the forest. On them the forest rangers will maintain their homea and. obviously. the tracts should be of lands of such character and of Euch an amount as to enable the ranger to have a garden and to grow sufficient forage to support the animals he must necessarily keep in order to properly per form his duties. On the forests where nurseries are needed some of the sites are used for this purpose. In selecting these sites. I believe it Is the duty of the Forest Service to look to its future needs as well as its present and. therefore, tracts have been selected which it Is believed will ultimately be ued, but are not at present occupied. Should It be found on further investigation that any of these are needed, they, of course, will be restored to their former status. There have been listed, under the act of June 11, 1906, over 450,000 acres of land since the act was put into effect. This fact, I believe, is the best answer I can give to the charge that the service dis courages, as much as possible, settlements within the forests under that law. Some Tracts Not Valuable. Tn some few Instances examiners hae reported tha-t particular tracts are not valuable for agriculture, for the reason that crops cannot be raised on them because, for instance, of the altitude and the neces sarily short, season. In such cases the ap plicant has been given an agricultural special-use permit which authorizes him to occupy the land without charge and dem onstrate Its value for agriculture, if pos sible. This practice works no hardship of the applicant since, under the ruling of the Department of the Interior, he will be given credit for the time he has resided on the land In case an entry of It is sub sequently made. The forest officers in the State of Wash ington, as in other states, have been select ed as far as possible, in compliance with section three of the act of February 1, 1905 t3:t Stat.. 628). That is, from qual ified citizens of that state. Under the regulations of this Department only legal residents of states or territories in which appointments are to be made are eligible for the ranger examinations. Th greatest care has been exercised In selecting forest officers, and I feel absolutely sure the aspersions made respecting the qualifica tions of forest ofTicers in the State of Wash ington are not warranted. -- THE WEATHER HEREABOUT Present Cold Snap Xot Tnusual; February ot '8 3 Recalled. PORTLAND, Feb. 3. (To the Ed itor.) On an average of perhaps a score of times each day we hear some one remark that this rather unwelcome cold weather here is "unusual." Espe cially is the opinion expressed that it is "unusual at this time- of the year." But if we were furnished with reliable data regarding- the subject, it is a ten-to-one wager that times almost with out number Abraham remarked to Isaac that some particular spell of weather then prevailing-, threatening the thrift of his sheep and cattle, was "very unusual." Without any addi tional historical assurances, however, we are certain that Noah had reason to be startled at the unusual weather whjch decidedlji upset all his former calculations. V This second cold snap, which has ap peared In February or is It the third one of the Winter? has caused several old-timers to assert that It Is "unusual" and has supplied the foundation for divers predictions as well as plunges into a reminiscent vein which do more or less violence to established facts. Incidentally, It is interesting to recall that while en" route to the city last Tuesday morirtng a fellow-sojourner on the Rose City Park car remarked that, it being the first day 01 February, he hoped the sun would not shine, for if it did the groundhogs would come out and, seeing their shadows. Imme diately return to their Winter quarters and remain there for the succeeding six weeks on account of the severity of the weather which wou'd certainly follow. To be sure, there was nothing espe cially startling about this remark, it being fully as old as the much-advertised hills themselves, but the- next morning a fellow-passenger exnressAd iiis regret that the Bun. wa shining Our Supply Department formerly af 147 Seventh Street, has removed to the Ground Floor of the ELECTRIC BUILDING. Pay all and obtain Lamp renew als on Ground Floor. Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. brightly, since, It being the second day of February, the groundhogs would be frightened at their shadows and Im mediately resume their hibernations for a month and a- half. In order to escape the last half of the Winter! So there we are, although, contradic tory as it may appear, it leaves us uncertain as to wnere we are at. I am reminded that on February 1, 1883, after a "normal January," the tem Derature changed in the middle of the afternoon, before sunset the muddy roads were frozen and for 11 days we hady clear days and nights, with no thawing weather whatever. During the next 10 days there was a light shower or two, but much continued frozen weather, until by the 22d of the month It was generally believed that the grain In the Willamette Valley was practic ally all killed. Another week of wait ing and examination confirmed the worst fears, and the task of reseeding nearly every acre of grain land in Western Oregon was begun an expe rience alone o its kind in this section of the state, before or since. It was really "unusual." This disaster was followed, however, by four weeks of splendid weather, the. first rain occurring Sunday, March 25, after everybody had been indulging in fervent supplications for some "fall ing weather" to give vitality to the ne,wly-sprouted grain, which had little chance to make a normal crop, even under the most favorable climatic con ditions. The two weeKs preceding the rain referred to were quite warm, with very little cloudy weather, the result being that the grain which had been sown abnormally late got an abnor mally late start and the subsequent harvest was abnormally light. I do not now recall whether the groundhog did his annual stunt In '83 on the first or second day of Febru ary, but the foregoing reminiscence bv one who was an -injured party will show that it has never been at all "un usual" to have "unusual" weather in the Willamette "Valley or elsewhere. T. T. GEER, WIRELESS RECORD MADE AValla Walla Amateur Distinctly Hears Honolulu's Message. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Feb. 3. (Special.) An amateur long-distance world's record for receiving a iyireless message was established here this morning, when Frank Moore heard Honolulu call Point Loma. the message being simply "Do you get me?" The local commercial station failed to hear Honolulu, but heard Point Loma call Honolulu. Honolulu is about 2600 miles in an air line from Walla Walla. Moore's wireless apparatus also re ceived the Point Loma message. This Is a world's long-distance entirely overland record for an amateur. Point Loma being 1100 miles from here. This message was heard distinctly at both stations, and was: "How do you hear me tonight?" Academy's Claim Hangs on Game.
