TITE MORJJIKtr OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JITLY 2, 1910. 3 RECORDS SMASHED AT INDIANAPOLIS Burman Is Hero of Three-Day Auto Meet, Winning Fifty and Ten-Mile Events. HEARNE CAPTURES HELMET Half-Century Race Furnishes Excit ing Contest . of Day, Chevrolet and Bnrmian Jumping Into Lead From First. INDIAN-VPOLIS. July 1. Records went down In slashing motor races at the In dianapolis speedway today. Burman. driving a Marquette-Buick, was the hero of the opening- events of the three days' meet, which Is to include the 200-mile Cobe cup race next Monday. He won the 60-mile and the ten-mile races for cars of 231-300 cubic inches piston displacement, and the 15-mile race for cars of 301-450 displacement. He clipped two minutes off the 50-mile record for cars of 231-300 displacement, going the distance in 40:03:07, and taking the honor away from Harroun. who held the previous record, 42:41:83. In the ten-mile, he pulled the record for cars of the same size from 8:16.08 down to 8:14.46. Burman's team mate, L. Chevrolet, pressed him closely in the 50-mile race and beat him in the flve-mlle race for cars of 161-230 displacement. In this event. Chevrolet cut the record from :41.17 to 4:40.8. Burman was disappointed at losing the Indianapolis speedway helmet, which Is worth $50 a week to the winner. Hearne, with a Benz, took it away from him In the ten-mile free-for-all event. Grant, driving the Alco .car with which he won the last Van derbllt cup race, easily led in the ten mile event for the heavy machines of 600 displacement. The afternoon of exciting contests for supremacy, unmarred by accidents, had a brilliant climax in the 60-mlle race. At the start, Chevrolet and Bur man lumped into the lead. They quick ly drew away from the field. After five miles. Chevrolet was ahead, travel ing at record-breaking speed. Har roun (Harmon) was out early, because of engine trouble. After ten miles, the race had re solved Into a see-saw contest for first place between Chevrolet and Burman, Both forced their engines to the limit, and to the finish they kept from one minute to two minutes ahead of the best previous time in the class. With a sensational spurt, Burman pulled in front of Chevrolet In the home stretch and was the first over the wire. Pearce (Fal) finished third; Fox (Pope Hart 1 ford), fourth; and Helneman (Fal), fifth. ONTARIO FORESTS SWEPT Fires Invade Towns and Millions In Timber Lost. WINNIPEG, Mamtol..-.. July 1.

PROTECTIVE WORK TOPIC Y. W. C. A. HEARS ADDRESS BY MRS. LOLA G. BALDWIN. Portland First City in United States to Conduct Department Under Municipal Oonrol. BREAKERS, Wash., July 1. (Special.) The subject of traveling and protective work among girls occupied the center of Interest among the city delegations to day at the Y. W. C. A. session here. Portland is the pioneer city In the United States to Inaugurate special protective work under municipal control, and through the courtesy of the police com mittee and the Chief of Police, Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, the superintendent of the municipal department of public safety for young women, was able to be present and to speas. before the con ference. In her address she made the point that this is not a rescue, but a protective agency, and that it Is the business of this department to deal with causes and not effects. For instance, the work pro ceeds on the theory that it should not be necessary to take young girls from lodging-houses, but that watch should be kept over the house and the landlord to see that his house should afford Bafety for them. The workers believe that causes which lead to evil should be re moved and the persons connected with them should be brought under authority rather than waiting for a definite crime to be committed and warrant of arrest Issued. During the time that this has been one of the department's under the city police system, 1173 girls have been cared for and 787 of these placed under the care list. In this time public opinion has become aroused to an extent that nine public dancehalls have been reduced to one, and that Is not open on Sunday. Mrs. Baldwin concluded by saying that what Oregon needs Is an industrial train ing school for girls and a perfected parole system. Mrs. Cavell. of Tacoma. where there is a department modeled arler that of Port land, spoke of the experience there, and a paper sent from Dr. Mary B. Martin, of Seattle, was read. Mrs. Barnum. of Portland, also read a paper concerning the travelers anJ work which the T. W. C. A. Is doing at the station and docks. WOMAN CHOKEDTO DEATH MISS WESDLER TREATED CRUELLY BY ASSAILANTS. Compelled to Walk Three Miles, yictlm Is Strangled With Wire . After Assault. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 1. Ex amination of the body of Miss Anna Wendler, aged 30, which was found in the Missouri River yesterday, showed that the woman was choked to' death with a piece of wire clothesline. . The wire was Imbedded in the flesh of her neck and was thought first to be her watch chain, as her gold watch was attached to the end of It. William Wendler, a brother, said that Anna had a watch chain and could not have been wearing a wire for that pur pose. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict that Miss Wendler came to her death at the bands of persons unknown to the jury. Coroner Amos decided that at least two men took part in the murder of the young woman. According to the Cor oner's jury, the murderers met their victim near the Rising Creek bridge, where her effects were found. Then, according to the Coroner's jury, the men attacked the woman and later made her walk three miles with them to the river, where she was thrown Into the water, after having been choked by the wire. The wornout stocking feet and torn clothing are cited by the Coroner's jury to confirm his theory. BOY RUN DOWN" BY AUTO Woman at X lieel Puts on High Speed and Escapes Officer. Gordon Lawrence, a 14-year-od mes senger, was run down by an automobile when riding a bicycle at Third and Washington streets at 6 o'clock last night. The lad escaped injury, but his bicycle was demolished.

NATIONAL SPIRIT RISING MEXICO Masses for First Time Take Interest in Question of Government. MUCH HOPE FOR FUTURE President Diaz' Next Term Will Be Devoted to Moulding Republic Into Great Nation Edu cation Is Factor. , MEXICO CITY. July 1. During the next six-year term of President Porfirlo Diaz, Mexico Willi n the opinion of her statesmen and publicists, make greater progress than in any like period In the history of the republic. They are reading In the popular agitation of the last two years a good rather than a bad omen. It is a sign, they beiieve, that the masses of Mexico are taking an individual in terest as never before in the affairs of the government. It rfas been largely on account of gen eral ignorance and a lack of popular in terest in government that Mexico hither to has been a republic only in name. The agitation against the party in power, radical as it has been, is taken now to mean that the middle and lower classes are really beglning to do a little think ing on their own account. One of the tasks of the next six years will be to direct ' popular thought along conserva tive lines and to create a national spirit which has been sadly deficient. It is not so long ago that there were tariff barriers between the states of the republic. Sonora on the north and Yu catan on the south had not so much in common as the states of the American republic and the provinces of Canada. Even neighboring states had none of the sentiment of sisterhood supposed to ob tain in a federated republic. Free Trade Unites States. Thanks to the services of Senor Jose L. Llmantour, Minister of Finance, and other progressive statesmen, the tariff barriers have been razed. The freer trade between the states has brought them closer together, created & bond of sympathy and enforced the idea that the good of one state should be the good of all In a republic. There is still some distance to go be fore the national esprit will be what the administration hopes to make It. The process of amalgamation has been slow for many reasons, chiefly the want of education and the existence of so much poverty. Local schools are slowly but surely remedying the first misfortune. Poverty has been attacked bv President Diaz, Vice-President Corral, Senor Lan da, Governor of the federal district, and Olegarlo Molina, Minister of Fomento. Leaders of the opposition parties, instead of dwelling on the need of edu cation to equip the masses for the duties of citizenship guaranteed by the Constitution, have made demands that involve an advanced type of paternal ism and other demands that are radi cally Socialistic. Their chief error is, according to students of Mexican affairs, that they have not sufficiently considred the status and character of the people with whom the Government has to deal. The background of Mex ican history is .one of revolution and warfare, save for the last third of a century. Policy of Restraint Necessary. President Diaz has had to go against a stubborn racial trait. The ingrained habit of Insurrection against consti tuted authority, developed by genera tions of intermittent warfare, is not readily shaken off or educated away. This being true, it was necessary to pursue a policy of popular restraint and of a gradual clothing of Mexican citizenship with its Constitutional priv ileges. "We have adopted a patriarchal policy in the actual administration of the Na tion's affairs;" said General Bernardo Reyes in a speech two years ago, "guid ing and restraining popular tendencies with full faith that an enforced peace would allow education, industry and com merce to develops elements of stability and unity In a naturally) Intelligent and afectionate people. "We have been harsh sometimes to the point of cruelty, but it was all necessary to the peace and progress of the Na tion. It was better that a little blood be shed that much blood might be spared. President Dtaz has achieved the merely social evolution of Mexico. He now has in hand the second part the political evolution. The nation Is complete. It la now necessary to complete the republic." American Farmers Wanted. Among the enterprises in hand to better the condition of the masses is an irrigation project In the Nazas River region, around Torreon. By the expedi ture of a few millions of pesos it is be lieved a district will be created capable of producing an Immensely profitable crop of cotton. Experimental stations bebeing established throughout the country for a practical study of soil possibilities and adaptations. The gov ernment will encourage the Immigra tion of farmers from the United States and elsewhere by admitting their household goods and farming utensils proprlated 30,000,000 pesos to be used free of duty. The government has ap as subsidies to those who Irrigate lands.- . Diaz Is Still Vigorous. Between the United States and the Mex ican republic the trade tie is growing steadily stronger. In the fiscal year 1908-9 Mexico Imported from the United States goods to the value of 1,000,000, compared with $66,000,000 worth of matetrlals im ported from all other countries. In the same year the United States imported rfom Mexico J173.0O0.000 worth of goods as against $58,000,000 worth taken by all other nations. Although 80 years old next September, President Diaz is still strong and vigor ous for the task before him. The next six years, if he live so long as that, he will devote to the finishing touches of his mission. He hopes he may not go to his grave with the pathos of failure written Into his last thoughts the fail ure to realize his dream for the destiny of Mexico. Cotton Mills Curtail Heavily. BOSTON.

Shackelford obtained his position as National Committeeman in 1908 by fraud and corruption, and organ ized, in. conjunction with ex-Governor Hoggatt and Governor Walter E. Clark and others, a clique known as the rule or ruin gang in Alaska: that he spent the Winter at Washington lobbying against measures introduced by Delegate Wickersham. a Republican and over whelmingly indorsed by the Alaska peo ple; that lie deceived the Administration, maliciously slandered people of Alaska, and formed false charges against honest officials of the territory in" order to stop criminal prosecution against his friends; that he delayed the call for the terri torial convention, thereby forcing inter ior proxies Into his hands, and that he gagged ,the will of the party by holding secret primaries In his office and notified opposing delegates that they would be thrown from the convention hall If they attended." The resolution charges that Governor Clark misrepresented and maligned Alas ka when in Washington, and demands his removal on the grounds that he has lost the respe.ct of the people of the territory.
