AUTOMOBILE IS HIS DESIRE Interview on Deal. Declined Until Charges Learned. $245 FOUND IN ONE SOCK Jailer Phillips Introduces Marshal Scott's Captive lo "Skin Frisk." -Flying Machine Needed . "to Escape, He Says.' Dr. Grant Lyman, suave, polished in mannerism and Immaculately dressed, accustomed to riding in deep cushioned automobiles, -was taken from the Union Depot to the County Jail, on the street car yesterday morning by United States Marshal Scott. When the Marshal arS rived from Klamath Falls with his distinguished - appearing prisoner, whom the most skeptical would not suspect of being wanted by the Post office Department on a charge of using; the malls to promote an alleged fraudulent deal in Panama land, Lyman looked expectantly at the long line of automobiles and taxlcabs in front of the station. His presumption was shaken rudely when the Marshal said: "We'll take the streetcar." The doctor has been a model prisoner, even if he did run away from the officers In Oakland two weeks ago and was heading for Canada In an au tomobile when apprehended at Lake view, Or., and accepted a seat in the streetcar without a murmur. On ac count of a badly-crushed ankle the doctor uses two crutches and It was a laborious task to climb up the steps of the new Courthouse. The elevator was started and when the society favorite and promotor was safely landed on the top floor In the temp orary Jail, he sat down with a sigli of relief, looked about and said: Lyman Needa Klylne; Machine. "There is no danger of any one escaping from here unless he had a flying machine." Lyman politely apologized for being In the position to decline an inter view concerning his operations in Panama land. "I cannot very, well discuss this af fair, you know," he explained, "until I know what I am charged with. It would not be. proper to attempt to speak about the matter at this time. but. when I am brought before the court and learn the nature of the charges against me, I may discuss the merits of the case. "Do you know they tried to kidnap me in Southern Oregon?" continued the doctor, dismissing the subject of the charges against him snd the part he took in promoting the Panama land (Concluded on Pace 11.)

Three Long Island Deputy Sheriffs undertook to preserve the peace of the Sabbath to day by preventing Karl L. Ovlngton and Mlsa Mathilde Moisant, aviators, from attempting to make flights at the Nassau boulevard. The result was in teresting. - Although the official meet of the Aero Club had been declared off, fol lowing a decision by the Supreme Court that Sunday meets at which admission fees were charged were violations of the law, Ovlngton and Miss Moisant de sired to make flights on their own ac count. Miss Moisant flew from the Nassau field to ber hangar at Mineola, and Ovlngton started on his proposed flight to the Pacific Coast with a pack age of letters, having been detailed by Postmaster-General Hitchcock as the first transcontinental aerial mail car rler. ' Miss Moisant landed on the property of her brother. Alfred Moisant, and im mediately a trio of. Deputy Sheriffs triea to arrest ner. Miss Moiennt's brother said that his sister had entered her automobile Just after alighUng- from her aeroplane, and that the deputies attacked her chauf feur and severely clubbed him when he refused to allow them to take the woman from the automobile. In the fracas Miss Moisant's wrist was cut and she was much bruised and shaken. The deputies had no warrant to make an arrest- Ovlngton was forced to come down near Belmont Park when his mono plane nearly capsized in a squall. The deputies had lost track of him and he escaped the embarrassment which be fell Miss Moieant. CAPPS REPORTS ON MAINE Xaval Constructor Probes Original Cause of Ship's Destruction WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Chief Naval Constructor Capps, who has been mak ing a personal inspection of the wreck of the Maine in Havana harbor, under orders from the Navy Department, has returned and prepared a report which deals with the original cause of the ship's destruction. Army engineers expressed the belief that the Maine was torn to pieces by an explosion of a magazine and that the destruction 'was so great as to obliter ate all traces of any outside explosion. Constructor Capps has attacked the problem from a. naval point of view, but It cannot yet be learned whether he ac cepted or rejected the Army engineers' contention.

TALLIES PILED KNEE-DEEP Portland' Massacred in Morn ' ing, but "Comes Back." HOME RUNS HAVE VOGUE Scores. 21 to 1 and 17 to 5, Give Inadequate Idea or What Took Place Crowd and Policemen Clash by Way of Variety. BT W. 3. PETBAIN. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) Before crowds aggregating nearly 30.000 souls in the two games played at Vernon, and Los Angeles to day, McCredie's Portland Beavers and Hap Hogan's Vernon Tigers broke even in a brace of slugfests, and as a result the Portland team still heads the Pa cific Coast League procession. Portland has won four out of the six games played this series. The scores of to day's slaughters were 27 to 1 in Ver non's favor in the morning contest at the "hogpen," and 17 to S for the Beavers in the afternoon. Vernon turned out more than 7000 rabid partisans in the morning and tha Beavers were slaughtered unmercifully. Elmer Koestner essayed the task of fooling the Villagers in the morning, but made such a sad failure of It that McCredie derricked him and sent Hen derson in, who tried to get the Vernon team to hit the ball all the time in the effort to stall the expiration of the time limit before , five innings were com pleted so the game would not be counted. Villagers "Get Wise." Henderson succeeded in fooling Hap for one inning, when . Vernon added eight to the score, but after that the Villagers "got wise" and stayed away from his. crippled curves for enough innings to permit the completion of the contest. The afternoon story was different, for "Big Six" Steen had everything and closed the Tigers out run less until his teammates had amassed so many runs that there was no shadow of doubt as to the result. Then Steen let up and allowed them to score a few runs. In cidentally, Steen distinguished himself by making a home run with two men on bases in the sixth. Several Records Broken. Several records were broken today. In the morning the Vernon team piled up the g'reatest number of home runs recorde'd in a Pacific Coast League game, making seven circuit, awats in the cigar-box park at Vernon. In the afternoon the attendance eclipsed all baseball records west of the Mississippi River, for more than 20,000 fans crowded in the Los Angeles park, only to be treated to a most mis erable exhibition so far as the Vernon club was concerned. In a park that provides seating capacity for many thousand less than 20,000, the orowd became unruly and the game was de layed 25 minutes until a riot platoon of police arrived ana drove ins jana from the outfield. Two such baseball games in one day made the fans gasp. The aggregate scores made by the two teams in the games waa 50 runs, a total of tallies hardly ever equalled In an entire home series at Portland. Hogan la Disappointed. - The result of the afternoon must have been a serious disappointment to Hogan, for he had confidently ex pected to beat Portland in both games, especially after scoring such a decided victory in the morning game. How ever, Vernon was not on the cards in the afternoon, the Villagers butting into Bill Steen for the second time U the week. Steen was in great form and wnen the Beavers landed a trio of runa in the first Inning off Roy Castleton, the result of the game was made plainly apparent. Castleton lasted three In nings and Al Carson suffered a bom bardment by the Beavers for a similar ceriod. Then Hap chased the ex-Bea ver and tried Jack Brackenridge, but this bird was anything but a ' puzzle to the Beaver swatsmen, who smarted under the sting of the morning game. They soon chased him to the club house. . . Having run out of available pitch ers. Hap then took himself out of the game and sent in Stanfield and Hasty as a new battery. This pair did rair ly well until Rapps, Ryan and Peck lnpaugh decided they needed a few more base-hits. A brace of runs were added by their lusty batting In the final Inning. Details too Ynlnmlnoni. To describe in, detail the actual scor ing jf their runs in both games today would take too much space. It waa simply a slugfest from start to finish In both contests. Bill Steen carried off the honor of the day, for, in addition to pitching great ball against Vernon in the afternoon, he. distinguished him self by rapping out a two-bagger In the sixth Inning on his first trip to the plate, and then following with a home Concluded oa Fas
