16 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 11U. T RECORD IS BROKEN 111 RAGES Seattle Motorboat Covers 30 Mile Course at Vancouver Contest in 0:59:4. FREE-FOR-ALL "NO RACE" Drifting Buoy Causes Kluke and Contest Will Be Run Later in ' ' Season 4 0,000 See Cham pionship Events on River. VANCOUVER. Wash., July 4. (Spe cial.) One Coast record was broken to day In the Pacific Coast championship motor-boat races, at Vancouver. This Was in the race for 32-foot class boats and was over a 30-mile course. The Se attle Spirit, the fastest boat in the Puget Bound district and competing under the colors of the Seattle Motor-Boat Club "was the craft that broke the record for this class which was established last year in the races held In Lake Wash ington, near Seattle, in conjunction with the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Exposition. The time made by this nifty little speeder over the Ions distance was 59 minutes and 4 seconds. Its only competitor in tills division was the Pacer II the former record holder. The Seattle Spirit also outran the fWolft II, which held the Pacific Coast championship In the free-for-all class won at the Seattle meet last year. Over CO miles of the 30 mile free-for-all con test yesterday the crack Puget Sound entry outdistanced Johnny Wolff's craft toy more than a quarter of a mile. Owing to the drifting away of the downstream buoy the crew became confused as to the course and the Wolff II and the Pacer II are alleged to have turned too short thereby letting them nose out the Se attle Spirit. This race will berun again. Conditions Are Perfect. Nearly 40.000 people were in Vancouver to witness the races which were held under the auspices of the Vancouver Vacht Club and the Portland. Motor-Boat Club. Weather conditions were perfect, the surface of the water was quiet, and no accident marred the pleasure of the day. Never before was such a crowd as sembled in Vancouver. The north bank of the Columbia River was lined hun dreds deep by persons eager to get a glimpse of the motor-boats as they raced up and down the smooth water in the bright sunlight. Hundreds of automo biles from Portland and surrounding cities were present and lined up In the garrison on the riven bank, where an ex cellent view was obtained. The Government dock was loaded with, officers from the Army, and their families find friends. The grandstand immediately In front of the judge's scow in the river, was filled by 3000 people and the North ern Pacific dock below the ferry landing held thousands. ' The river was dotted by f ullyWOO motor boats 'from Portland and sailing craft from various parts of the river. The greatest Interest was manifested through out the day in the races, which far sur passed the most optimistic. There were xnany other amusements in Vancouver during the races, but they could not compete in Interest with the events on the water. Everything moved off smoothly and the crowds were well handled. There were special policemen at the ferry and they kept back the crowd. There were four pursers on the ferry instead of one, as is customary. The ferry came and went with thousands and thousands of passen gers, an3 there were enough cars on the landing at Hayden Island to take them back to Portland. The first contest of the afternoon was Class C for 28-foot craft, for which a 1125 trophy was offered. This race was Btarted promptly on time with three en tries. These were the Happy Heinle. Captain Milton Smith's Portland-built boat: Potato Bug II, recently built by the Curtis Boat Company, and the Spear, nnother new craft, owned by the Groeger Brothers. The boats all got away from the start ing point together, but after advancing a Tew yards the Happy Heinle shot into the lead and was never headed and proved en easy winner. The Spear, the new boat, was poorly balanced in the first race, but in the second contest..with an even keel, took the measure of the Happy Heinle, by wbich it had been beaten in the 28-foot class. In the 28 foot class race both members of the Spear crew were in the back part of the boat, which made the bow too high out of water and the tail drag too much. This was remedied in the other contest, and the boat proved an easy winner. In the 28-foot class the Potato Bug II and the Spear made a hard fight for second honors. The former won by a slight margin. Seattle Spirit Beats Pacer II. The most interesting contest of the regatta was the 10-meter race with only the Seattle Spirit and the Pacer II entered. Both boats got away even ly and the race waxed so over the first 10 miles of the journey although the Seattle Spirit did crawl up a few yards on the Pacer II. As the boats passed the grandstand on the down-stream leg of the race the Seattle craft was lead ing by a margin of nearly 100 yards, but with only 10 miles more to go the Pacer II put on full speed and gained on its flying rival by a few yards, and at the finish there was about 75 yards separating the two craft. The time over -this 30 miles was 59:04, setting a new. Pacific Coast record, the Seattle . boat winning the $200 trophy. . Then came the 24-foot speed boats, -with a $100 trophy up. The same three craft entered in the 28-foot class con stituted in this race. But the order of conditions was slightly changed,- and the Spear, which came in second be fore, showed its heels to the other craft all the way and won in 41:13 4-5. In this the boats made faster time than In the previous contest. The last race was between the Wolff II, Pacer II and the Seattle Spirit, and was the one declared "no. race." The time made by the Wolff II was 60 min utes and 20 sectfnds. In this race "the Seattle Spirit got a Jcad in a short time and kept It' until the last lap. When the three boats, the Seattle Spirit, the Wolff II and the Pacer II, went down the river on the last lap, the Seattle Spirit was far in the lead. It was conceded by all that the big $500 cup would go to Seattle. The owners of the boat were confident In their racer and were feeling Jubilant over winning two cups in tha champion ship races, besides establishing a record on the Pacific Coast. Cheers Given Wolfr II. When about an hour had gone by, the busy hum of the exhaust could be lieard, and, looking down the river, the crowd could see that the Wolff II was ,ln the lead. A cheer that was deafen ing rent the air and hats were thrown up, many landing in the river. Closer jind closer the three speeding boats COS came, and when the Wolff II had cross ed the line it was one minute and 25 seconds in the lead of the Seattle Spirit. Nearly all supposed that the engine of the boat had been in trouble, but no ene doubted that the 'Wolfr II had won the race. When the Seattle Spirit crew told the judges that the last buoy had drifted from where it was anchored, and en tered a protest, there was an exciting time on board the Judge's scow. After much discussion, the board of judges decided to declare that the race would have to be run over, no time, being set. Yacht Races Postponed. There being no wind, the sailing races were not held, but as the cups and prizes are up, the races will be held later in the season. Among the motorboats - that came over from Portland were the Gazelle, Charmalee, Artisan, Auto Marine, Water Wagon, Hoo Hoo, Elidor, Portland's harbor patrol boat, Marluellen, Billiken, Sylph, Kittle II, Fairbanks-Morse, Sea Gull, Red Arrow, Sarah Jane, Roamer, Richard, Fay. Hoquiam. Mountain Maid. Lauraline and the Eva. the Portland Motorboat club and press boat, and many others. From Astoria, the Astoria Motorboat Club had the Hart-Man, Tyee, Ramona, Duke, Lippert II and several others. Sixteen yachts sailed over from Port land, yesterday, camping last night on Sauvies' Island. They were towed back this afternoon by various motorboats. In honor of the winning motor boatmen and the out of town sportsmen a banquet was held last night at the New Perkins Hotel at which more than 100 people participated. The free-for-all contest which was de clared no race yesterday has been ordered rerun next Sunday, at Vancouver at 1 o'clock, over the same course. The Seattle Spirit will propably remain over for the contest if not the $300 silver cup will be forfeited to the Wolff II. POLICE PREVENT BOXIMG CHIEF COX PUTS BAX OX BEX-XETT-ROCH FIGHT. Intention to .Permit Ten Rounds Is Reconsidered at Late Hour and Match Is Called Off. As a result of an order issued by Chief of oPlice Cox yesterday afternoon, the boxing bout between Jockey Ben nett and Johnny Roche, scheduled for last night at the Exposition Rink was not held. The fight was to have gone 20 rounds, but the Chief notified the promoters late In the afternoon that he would not permit, 20 rounds or 10 rounds. Although a large number of fight tickets had already been sold, the pro moters promptly complied with the Chief's order and announced that the fight was off. Money was refunded for the tickets that had been sold down town, and a placard at the Ex position building notified figbt fans who Journeyed there that the bout had been cancelled. Fight followers do not interpret Chief Cox' action to mean the end of limited-round engagements In Portland. The action was taken,, says the Chief, on account of his conviction that the fight would not be worth the money if it could go 20 rounds without being ob jectionable on account of brutality, and if it were worth the money, then it would not be inoffensive as a boxing exhibition. In addition, the Chief said, he believed that an affair of the kind in a time of public excitement, such as followed the big fight at Reno, would be against public policy. It was at first the intention to allow the fighters to go ten rounds. If the fight appeared to be "on the square." Instructions to this effect were given yesterday to Sergeant Goltz, in charge of the first, night relief, and that officer was instructed to stop the fight the moment that It appeared to be objectionable on any grounds. After further reflection. Chief Cox decided that even this would be a bad policy, and instructed Sergeant Goltz not to allow the fight to take place. "Chief Cox called me up b'y tele phone," said Mayor Simon, "and said they contemplated a 20-round go. I Instructed him not to permit such a thing, as it seemed to savor of brutal ity. I. instructed that the police stop the contest if the promoters attempted to carry on 20 rounds of it. I will not allow any such an exhibition. I left to the Chief the question as to whether the promoters should hold a 10-round affair." AUTOISTS HAVE GOOD TIME Only One Minor Mishap Mars Trip to Bayocean. A. B. Manley, who returned yesteT day afternoon from an automobile trip to Bayocean, under the auspices of the Portland Automobile Club, in which 23 automobiles and 125 passengers took part, reports that the party had a most delightful time. The only accident was to the automobile of Tom West, when the party was about 15 miles west of Tillamook. He slipped the gear of his car and its occupants, Mr. and Mrs. West and Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Easter, were taken in by other cars. . The dis abled automobile was towed to Tilla mook, and will be shipped from there to Portland by steamer. The members of the party were guests of T. B. Potter, of the Potter Chapin Realty Company. They left Portland Saturday morning. Residents of Tillamook and small towns about Bayocean gathered last night to wit ness the fireworks and attend the ball. The automobile party "will return to Portland tonight. Bad Checks Hurt Salem Man. MEDFORD, Or., July 4. Arrested in Medford for passing checks for which he had not funds in the bank, Clarence E. Young, of Salem, was taken last eve ning to Roseburg by Deputy Sheriff W. A. Wright, of Douglas County, for trial. Young was a canvasser for the Pacific Homestead of Salem, and is reported to be prone to pay his bills with bad checks. On a former trip to Medford he ran a large bill at a local hotel and paid It with a check that the bank would not bonor. For this the hotel management had him arrested in Salem and brought back to Medford for trial, but he effected his release by squaring the account with cash and paying the costs.'

TAFT'S AIDERS TO GET INDORSE Washington Republican Con vention to Speak Plainly, Says Jno. L. Wilson. CONSERVATION OVERDONE People of State Believe Too Much Agricultural Land Is Locked Up. Pinchotism Creates Unrest and 111 - Feeling. "When the Republican state conven tion of Washington meets In Tacoma, August 3. one of the first things it will do, after organizing, will be to adopt a platform which will in no uncertain words sustain President Taft and those who have aided and assisted him from the State of Washington in putting on the statute books those laws which the Republican platform pledged to the people." The foregoing is a brief outline of what the Republicans of the State of Washington contemplate in their con vention, according to ex-Senator John L. Wilson-, a candidate for the United States Senate to represent that state, who arrived In Portland last night from Vancouver, where he delivered the Fourth of July address. He will leave this morning for Centralia, Wash., to address the John L. Wilson Sena torial Club. "Every single bit of constructive leg islation to which the Republican party was pledged, excepting aid to American shipping, was passed by Congress," said Senator Wilson, "and every request of President Taft for legislation has been complied with. The Republican party of JVashlngton will not hesitate for a moment to Indorse those who have assisted the President in this work." Washington and Oregon Agree. As to how the people of the State of Washington feel relative to con servation of the natural resources, Sen ator Wilson said: "Our people are similarly situated In this respect to the people of Oregon and Idaho. They feel, and they have a right to feel, that too much of their agricultural land has been withdrawn from settlement and use. In this mat ter a brief history may not be out of place at this time. "When the act o"f 1S97 was passed by Congress it was generally understood and discussed in the Department of the Interior, that about 38.000.000 or 40, 000,000 acres of non-agricultural tim ber land could be withdrawn for Na tional forests without seriously affect ing the general prosperity. "The report giving these figures will be found on file in the Congressional library signed by Gifford PInchot. A thing grows on what it feeds on, and they went on, and on, and on; until wc have In Washington about 21,000 square miles of our territory with drawn. In Idaho 32,000 square miles have been withdrawn and In Oregon about 35,000 square miles. Here Is an area almost as large as the Austrian empire dedicated to solitude. "In the reservations in Washingotn we have 640,000 acres of school land3 worth $10,000,000. How are we going to get it? I suppose Idaho and Ore gon are similarly situated In this re spect. The policy ol Gifford Pinchot has produced within u dissatisfaction and unrest. It has created a bureau at Washington which, if it has any knowledge of our situation, is a purely scientific one. It has brought about ri-feeling relative to our Eastern neighbors. It has a tendency to pro duce sectionalism, and, in my judgment, is unpatriotic and unjust. No War to Gain Oregon. "The Government of the United States paid a great price in money and blood for the acquisition of other lands like California, New Mexico and Arizona, which came to us out of a costly war with Mexico. When we were a poor people Jefferson paid $15,000,000 for the territory In the Louisiana pur chase, but the Oregon country was a free gift of the pioneers. "There has also been considerable talk about water power and Its ac quisition by the "water-power trust.' The people living in the watershed of the Columbia River have a great in heritance, in water power. It is esti mated by the Geological Bureau that we have in the watershed of the Colum bia River and of Puget Sound 39,000,000 of horsepower. This is about 19,000, 000 more horsepower than have all the states east of the Mississippi. If we were to harness 10,000 horse-power every year we would not reach the end of it for 2400 years. So anyone can see at a glance It Is practically Inexhaustible. In fact, water power in use is not ex haustible and true conservation re quires that we develop this natural resource with as much rapidity as pos sible, for by its development we con serve and save timber and coal. ,, "When Washington came into the Union she came in on an equality with other states. Her constitution pro vided that the title to the flowing wa ters and the beds of the streams should be vested In the state. It is true that In many cases the Government has a trusteeship on the abutting land, or as some may say, a proprietorship, but it has no sovereignty. The Federal Gov ernment has always held the public do main as a trust for disposal to actual settlers. ' ' Bureau Control Is Xew. "Our National principle of action, up till now, has not been based upon im perialistic theories of public ownership or bureaucratic administration. We have sought to develop the country by disposing of the resources In the rough to men of enterprise and capability. We have invited the world to go into our wildernesses one after the other and make them blossom like the rose, and to this end we have offered to capa bility and hardihood the first invita tion ana the freest scope. Nobody de nies that there were some, mistakes of liberality and many abuses under It. We gave away to railroad com panies more land than we should, and, worse still, under conditions which have permitted them in some cases to hold it under a policy of non-usage. In other words, we were too generous in bestowing the natural bounties of the country. "And yet, speaking broadly, it is not easy to say how a more fortunate working policy could have been devised and sustained. At least, the country has prospered amazingly under It. The continent has been spanned by rail roads. More than a score of states have been carved out of the wilderness and their people organized and equipped for civilized life. Could these great and permanent results ' have been ef fected under the scheme proposed by the conservators? We think not." WAITRESS KNOCKED DOWN Man Who Strikes Blow Is Himself Felled to Floor. C. A. Burbank, Jr., an advertising agent, was arrested by Patrolman Klin gel in the Royal Canton grill, Park and Alder streets, last night, after he had struck down Edna May, a waitress, with a blow from his fist. The girl was un conscious for several minutes. Burbank was charged with disorderly conduct and was subsequently released on ball fur nished by his father.

In his efforts to give vent to his racial prejudices, he annoyed several of the Japanese waiters In the grill and threatened to do them bodily injury. In the heat of his argu ment with one of the waiters. Miss May passed near. Burbank swung heavily, striking her a vicious blow in the face. O. C. Ostrander, a local business man, who witpessed the assault, retaliated with a powerful left hook on the point of Burbank's chin,' sending him sprawl ing. . The police were summoned and Bur bank was escorted to the station .house. The waitress, after she became con scious, -was compelled to be relieved of her duties because of a badly discolored eye. She will appear against Burbank in court today. SMALL FIRES NUMEROUS Fireworks Start Blazes That Keep Department Busy. A number of small fires originating from fireworks and other sources kept the fire department scurrying to dif ferent sections of the city last night. During the early evening the depart ment responded to an alarm sent In from East Eightieth street and the Base Line Road. An" explosion tf a gasoline stove in the confectionery store of Marshall Brothers, at 72 Eigh tieth street, caused a damage estimated at $50. Occupants of a residence at 305 Elev enth street became excited because of a burning flue in the building. They summoned the fire department. No loss was recorded. , Aerial fireworks and skyrockets caused three blazes in quick succession on the West Side after dark last night. Sparks from a Roman candle set fire to the roof of a building at 266 Second street. The .department extinguished the blaze with little, loss. Fireworks were also responsible for two other roof fires on residences at Seventeenth and Thurman streets and 909 Thurman street. There was a small loss in each instance. LIBERATI PROGRAMME.

After the close of the second act the stage was transformed into a flower garden with huge floral pieces and baskets of blossoms which were sent up across the footlights to the charming and talented actress. Miss Jewel responded to the floral onslaught with a characteristic little speech. Immediately following the final curtain, Mr. Baker also responded to a call with a few words. At the entrance of the building all had been placed in readiness for a final demonstration, and with the general exit from the theater a great collection of fireworks were touched off and so marked the passing of the old building which is soon to be torn down. RAILROAD TO MERRILL Southern Oregon Town Offers Right of Way and Depot Site. MERRILL, Or., July 1. (To the Edi tor.) In the The Oregonian of June 28 there appeared a news report entitled "Merrill Awaits Railway." Sometime ago, the town of Merrill, through its Chamber of Commerce, of fered the Modoc Northern Railroad Co. a depot site and right of way extend ing half the distance to Klamath Falls, as an inducement for that company to build into Merrill, as the logical sur vey left the town two miles to the south of "the proposed railroad. The offer was accepted and the town at once set to work to secure the prom ised ground. Already, most of the contracts are signed and at the , suggestion of Mr. Warden, right-of-way agent, the Cham ber of Commenrc held a meeting June 25 for the purpose of raising the money to buy the promised site and right of way, and thus prepare the way for early construction of the proposed line. The meeting -was a very enthusiastic one. Within 15 minutes from the time the chairman called for contributions, one-third of the entire amount was subscribed. More money Is being pledged daily and It is only a question of a few days when the necessary sum will have been raised. Merrill is keenly alive to the fact that a railroad Is just what it needs to develop Merrill's splendid resources. We take this opportunity to state Mer rill's position in the matter.

GUARD KEPT AT HOSPITAL Alan Who Shot Woman and Then Himself Still Professes Ignorance of His Crime, but Tries to Pull Bandages Off Wound. Still professing ignorance of the manner in which he received a bullet wound over his heart, and apparently not conscious that his wife is dead, H. M. Lambert, who fatally wounded the woman and shot himself at Woodlawn Saturday, is making rapid progress to ward recovery at St. Vincent's Hos pital, and stands good chance of being restored to health to answer for his crime. Since Sergeant Goltz, in command of the first night relief, posted an officer at the bedside Sunday afternoon, close watch has been kept over Lambert. It is feared he will take the first oppor tunity ' to complete the suicide which he attempted last Saturday. Already he has once attempted to tear the band ages from his wound, and it is believed he will watch his chance to repeat the performance or do some other violent Sunday afternoon, while receiving a visit from a friend, Lambert made preparations for death, disposing of his little property and giving directions for having his ' three children cared for among the families of friends.

Yesterday, while being attended bjr Dr. Ziegler, Lambert, whose mind seems normally bright, asked, "How did this happen. Doctor?" "Do you moan to say that you don't know?" responded Dr. Ziegler. Lambert replied that he did not . He said he had no recollec tion of being wounded or of any events leading up to it. lr. Ziegler intimated plainly that ha did not believe Lambert and thought his ignorance was affected for trial purposes, but Lambert adhered stub bornly to his position. He has at no time intimated that he knows of the death of his wife. But it is believed that he has In some way learned of it and refrains from speak ing of it. Fulls City Celebrates fourth.
