DRIVER SWERVES TOO LATE Officers Are Answering "Hurry-rp" Call at Time of Crash Man Is Thrown Six Feet in the Air , by Force of Collision. While responding to a hurry-up call Thursday night, the police auto struck Maurice N. Costello, of 496 East Eighth treet. north, an employe of Otto Roths child & Company, knocking him against the curb. Inflicting injuries from which he died at midnight four hours later. The acident occurred at Union avenue and Brazee streets. Costello having Just stepped from a car. The patrol was in charge of Driver Leisy. The auto was going at high speed at the time. The siren was tooting at full blast. The police say they pre sume Costello became confused by the noise, for. after having nearly reached the sidewalk he turned back towards the car track, and then once again turned towards the curb, they say. Policeman Leisy, who was driving the auto, says he tried to avoid hit ting the man, but Costello dodging back and forth made this extremely difficulty and the fender of the big auto mobile struck him, knocking him. back against the curb. Costello landed on his head, and was rendered uncon scious; and was at once rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital. Speed Set at 23 MUea Honr. The police say the patrol wagon was going at a speed of about 15 miles an hour, on a hurry-up call. "W. B. Reece, who lives at 1249 East Twenty-eighth street north, was reported as threat ening his neighbors with a rifle. He had shot a cat belonging to one of them. It Is charged, and they protested. Reece was arrested by Leisy and taken to the " police Btatlon, where he was locked up. Dr. J. D. Fenton. who was called to assist In caring for Costello last night, does not believe Costello was excited when etruck. but that the automobile was being driven at such a speed that it was impossible for him to avoid it. "Costello owned a car of his own." said Dr. Fenton. "He knew all about the mechanism and management of an automobile. I don't think he could have been unnerved or excited by see ing the police ambulance coming tow ard him. "From what I heard and what 1 saw yesterday of the police patrol go ing up Fifth street at 25 miles an hour in the heart of the city, I believe the patrol wagon was depending entirely upon the siren to prevent people get ting in its way. and that no precaution whatever was being taken to guard against taking human life in passing the. streetcars. Eye U'llani Talk. "A man by the name of Johnson, who was standing on the sidewalk, saw the accident, and says Costello, when etruck, was flung six feet into the air, and landed on the sidewalk on his head." The police automobile has been in a good many accidents of late. It was in a collision with a streetcar and was badly damaged a few weeks ago. Dr. Yielding was called to care for the injured man. He rapidly sank, however, and his wife was summoned to the hospital. Driver Leisy placed the speed of his machine at 25 miles an hour in his report to Police Captain Riley, but the two other officers placed it at from 18 to 20 miles an hour. The police took the names of J. Chrichton, conductor of the streetcar, C. A. Hazelwood motorman. and A. E. Johnson, of 889 Minnesota avenue, as witnesses of the accident. COURT OFFICER ARRESTED Receiver or Pittsburgh Grill Taken to Jail Women Flee. The presence of a special Deputy Sheriff in the Pittsburgh Grill, Sixth and Stark street, did not in the least frighten Plainclothesmen Long and Tackaberry Thursday night, when they entered the resort to arrest Charles Barton, receiver of the place, who is charged with operating it without either a state or city license. The Deputy Sheriff showed his badge to the police and told them that he had been ordered by the court to watch the place, but the two officers advised him to watch it from the outside. Barton was taken into custody, and later released upon recognizance. Com plaints about the resort have been numerous, and when - the arrest was made about 14 women fled in wild panic through the narrow doors, think ing that the place had been raided. The "grill" is run as an adjunct to a saloon, and has given the police much trouble. No license was displayed on the walls, nor could the arresting offi cers find anything in the line of a receipt. The place has been in the hands of Barton, who has been acting as receiver for some time. After the arrest was made the question was raised by attorneys at the police sta tion as to whether Tackaberry and Long were not in contempt of court for "Interfering with a court officer," the receiver being considered as such. J. P. MORGANS NEW VASE Jasper Drageoir, by Cellini, Cost the Magnate $C 00,0 00. , New York World. Word has been received from London that J. Pierpont Morgan has purchased from Messrs. Seligmann & Co., art deal ers, of New York and Paris, the Jasper drageoir by Benvenuto Cellini (1500 1572) bought by that firm at the Baron de Rothschild sale for 8200,000. There Is much speculation by connoisseurs in London and New York as to whether Mr. Morgan will bring this precious vase to this country and permit it to be exhibited In the Metropolitan Muse um of Art or whether, for the present, it will remain in one of his private col lections. The vase, which is regarded as one of the most beautiful specimens of the work of the famous Florentine artisan. who was both goldsmith and sculptor, Is cut from a single block of light red- veined Jasper, with a separate stem and foot of the same material. It was obtained in Italy 40 years ago by the late Baron Adolphe de Rothschild, who believed it to have come originally from the Kings of Naples. The drageoir. including the mount and stem, measures 10 V, inches in height, 9 inches in length and inches in breadth. The vase has been cut into the shape of an elongated scal loped shell, the stem forming a circular pillar, decorated with oves and resting on a hemispherical foot, incised with wavy lines. This foot is set in a cir cular gold border, decorated with Inlaid scrolls in red, white, green and blue enamel and studded alternately with pearls and emeralds. At the top of the stem four openwork gold serous, set with four rubles and decorated wun red, green and blue enamel, support the upper portion of th.e vase. From these scrolls start, right and heft, two large ornamental gold fig ures, beautifully encircled ana stuaaea with precious stones. At the head of the vase a dragon, at tne loot a temaie torso, a Siren, are placed as caryatides. The dragon has a long, curved tail. which reaches down as far as the stem. The head is blue, the body gray and the tail white, the whole dotted an over with small gold spots. The out spread wings are covered with black, white, red and green enamel. The body Is studded with 12 table diamonds, and the. back with 11 rubles. From the monster's neck hangs a 'pendant pearl. At the opposite end of the drageoir is the beautifully modeled figure or tne Siren. Her tall, which is se with 18 emeralds, emerges from the Jaws of a dolphin. Her torso is enameled white, and her hair, studded with two rubles, retains the metallic color of gold. With uplifted arm she supports a highly or namental blue and green openwork scroll, projecting at the end of the dragenoir and set in the center with a large diamond. Right and lert gold trariands. beautifully chased and enam eled, continue the mount, clinging to the border of the shell and forming a vivid contrast with the dull yellowish red color of the precious vase. BILL GAINING FRIENDS DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ISSVE CALX. FOR SECOND CAUCUS. Many Are Xot Willing to Vote That Two Big Battleships Be Bnilt Jnst Xow. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Alarmed at the growing strength of the two bat tleship proponents in the House, Dem ocratic leaders issued a call tonight for another caucus on the naval bill to be held next Tuesday night. It was generally accepted that at least one battleship would be provided for in view of the firm attitude of the bat tleship champion. Representative Sulzer. of New York, who is leading the fight for two ships, announced that he had 31 signatures to his petition that the caucus release members from their previous no-battleship pledges. With the addition of a half dozen more members, Mr. Sulzer expressed confidence that his forces would hold the balance of power and the matter would be forced into the open House. In such an event he said he believed that with a coalition wun the Republicans, two battleships could be voted into the bill. Majority Leader Underwood Is striv ing to prevent the two-ship plan from going through, as is Chairman Fitz gerald, of the appropriations commit tee. Their objections are based solely on the ground of economy, but, recog nizing the pressure of changing opin ion among members, they are now willing to compromise on one Dig war vessel. The naval appropriation measure will be brought up in the House to- orrow. when it will be sent back to conference to await the caucus action Tuesday. BUZUKOS EASILY IS WINNER Torriclano Takes Two Falls From Italian Wrestler. . Peter Buzukos. the Greek light weight, had little trouble disposing of Dominico Turrlciano, the highly-touted Italian middleweight, at the Baker Theater Thursday night, Buzukos car ried away the 8200 side bet and the lar ger slice of gate receipts from a small crowd by taking two straight falls, the first in 3Si minutes and tne second in 18 minutes 25 seconds. Turrlciano had nothing but his supe rior weight. He failed to entice the Greek into a bad position during the bout, and was flopped the first time bv a half Nelson and hammerlock after more than half an hour of fruit less and comical effort. The Italian grew angry toward the end of the mill and started to rough It. He came out second best in this department of the game, for Buzukos closed with him. grabbed him by the head, and had mm on his back in a trice. , Walter Arndt defeated Lloyd Kephart in the preliminary. Arndt won the first fall in 20 minutes, lost tne sec ond in tour minutes and won the third in 30 - seconds. The officials: Eddie Connors. Al Fisher, referees; Fred Merrill, Ed. D. McCabe, timers.

PROGRAMME IS CRITICISED Officers Are Accused of Arranging One-Sided Discussion Pontius Pilate's Act Is Called Up. Hanford Is Lauded. TACOMA, ' Wash., Aug. 2. A per functory resolution . to thank visiting speakers brought sharp words at the MrteA nf tn State Bar Association con vention Thursday. A. E. Joab, of Taco ma, and F. C. Robertson, of- Spokane, took vigorous exception to the attack on the proposed recall of Judges made by Jesse B. Roote. of Butte, Mont., who declared "this proposal the gangrene of anarchy." and who said he would prefer "to seek Justice In Turkey" than in a republic in which such procedure was In effect. An attack upon the initiative and referendum as - exemplified In Oregon, made last night by W. C. Bristol, of Portland, was also replied to and the officers of the association were criti cised for having prepared a programme which, it was said, took in but one side of these questions. Pontlun Pilate Called Up. Reference to Pontius S? ilate was made by Attorney Roote, who said the Ro man's course was what might be ex pected of Judges in a country where the Judicial recall prevailed. "The crucifixion was Judicial mur der," shouted Attorney Robertson in reply. "The people, the mob, kissed the Saviour's feet." Among recommendations for legisla tion approved was an act which would permit defendants to have cause of ao tion for compensation against any per son causing a wrongful death. A pro posal for a code commission was tabled. Grmicnp Xamed President. Tomorrow the delegates will be taken on a Journey up Mount Rainier. Officers were elected today as follows: B. S. Grosscup, Tacoma, president; C. Will Shaffer, Olympla. secretary; Ar thur Remington. Olympia, treasurer. Grosscup defeated F. T. Tost, of Spo kane, hoM name was presented by the nominating committee. The place of the next meeting was left with the execu tive committee. A resolution expressing appreciation of Federal Judge C. H. Hanford's work on the bench and regret for his resig nation, now in the hands of President Tatt, was adopted late yesterday after noon by the annual convention of the Washington State Bar Association. The resolution was introduced by Attorney E. C. Hughes, of Seattle. Judge Hanford was present. Hanford In Landed. Attorney T. M. Vance, of Olympla, objected to the introduction of the reso lution and moved to table it. He said the resolution was improper as Han ford's resignation had not yet been ac cepted and he was still the subject of a Congressional investigation. He de scribed the introduction of the resolu tion us unfortunate and moved to table it. The motion was defeated and the resolution was adopted, there being only three votes against It. The reso lution follows: "Whereas. Hon. C H. Hanford, a member of this association, has lately tendered his resignation as Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, a po sition he has occupied with honor and credit to the Nation for a period of ap proximately a quarter of a century, now, therefore be It, "Resolved, that we express our re gret that the Nation should lose so valuable and conscientious a servant. and express our appreciation of the court work which has been performed by Judare Hanford while he has been on the Federal bench." IRISH BOARD IS ACTIVE For First Time Tells of Its Work In Congested Districts. DUBLIN. Aug. 3. (Special.) Wil liam J. Duffy, M. P. for South Galway, has extracted some interesting infor mation from the Congested Districts Board. For the first time something like a plain statement of the work ac complished under the act of 1909 is available for scrutiny. It appears that up to the first day of March in this year, 553 estates in the congested dis tricts counties have been placed in the hands of the Board to arrange terms of purchase. The price .asked by the own ers is about 830,000.000. utters tor 109 of these estates have been made. and by the end of the year the Board will have bought estates at a price ex ceeding $16,000,000. The usual kind of warning to ten- nants Is also issued. The Board an nounces that "they will negotiate as auickly as practicable for the pur chase of all suitable estates, and for the rapid re-sale of holdings which do not need alterations. Illegal com binations against the payment of rent to the landlord pending the valuation of the estate of the Board, or the prevalence of Intimidation of any kind will delay indefinitely Instead of has tening the purchase. PAT MALONEY'S SPEECH Delegate to Kentucky Democratic Convention Helps Mr. Cleveland. Winfield. Kan., Cor. New York Sun. Ransacking the files of his law office here. Colonel W. P. Hackney found what he considers a most Interesting document in the nature of a speech delivered by Patrick Maloney at Frank fort, Ky., 24 years ago. The occasion was the assembling of the first state Democratic convention, following the election of Grover Cleveland as Presi dent. Maloney, an enthusiastic Irish man, was a delegate from one ot tne mountain - counties. Five years ago a friend of Hackney, living in Oklahoma, who was present at the Frankfort Democratic Conven tion, and who clipped the speech from the files of a local paper, gave it to the Winfield man. He laid it away, and when Woodrow Wilson was nominated for President he instituted a search and found it. "I thought with the cer tainty of Wilson's election," Hackney said, "the Democrats of the county ought to read Pat Maloneys clear-cut speech, which follows: "Mister Charemin. and gintlemin of this gerate convenshun: When an ad mirin' constituency electud me their rlpresentatlve to this gerate assimbly.

HULTORPER CLUB BUSY OLD REPUBLICAN WARHORSES SCEXT COMIXG BATTLE. At Reunion Banquet Members De cide Efforts for Party Were k Never More Needed. By an almost unanimous vote of old members present at the reunion ban quet, at the Bowers Hotel Thursday night, it was decided to reorganize the famous old Multorpor Club, an organ! zation that 20 years ago worked hard for the best interests of the Republican party. In all the speeches, the note of party as opposed to private or single administration, was predominant, and when President C. M. Idleman, in the course of a trenchant speech said, "in the old days we waited till after the nominations were made, and then as loyal Republicans we got out and fought and worked for our candidate whoever he was," he was voicing" the sentiments of those present, if applause be any criterion. The same idea ran all through the speech of Dr. B. E. Miller. "Sentiment is coming back to the party. We may not always get the man we want, but we must support the party. Of two evils always choose the less, he said. Telegrams were read from those un able to be present, following which Will G. Steel gave a review of the club and read the roll of those who were gone, which was followed with a silent toast as a tribute to their memory. J. B. Cleland declared that it was dif ficult nowadays to ascertain what were the Republican principles. "We members of the old Multorpor club believe that our party must be maintained for the public good, for the Government we love and for the country that cherishes us, and it is our duty to promulgate the principles of that party, and to stand together as true Republicans. Mr. Idleman took great pains to show first of all that he and many oth ers could not be called anything but progressive. They welcomed the pro gressive spirit, he declared. ."But," said he, "any man who, after a nomination has been made, will get up and say his judgment is superior to that of the people, is not only dangerous, dui traitorous to the Interests of his party. We are too old for active service. Let us all get out and work, for if ever service were needed, it is right now, even more than in -M92, when we came into being." "If we get out now, and work hard, we'll carry the state for Taft," said Mr. Pa sue. "Let us stay with the party. Party principles are greater than Individual efforts," said Dr. Emmett Drake. "So let us have a Republican club with no prefix to. it. Let us carry Oregon and the influence will be felt not only on Washington and California, but on the whole West." A vote was then taken on the ques tion of reorganizing the club, with the result that the president was called upon to name a committee of five, to arrange the details. Those present were: M. L. Bowman, J. B. Cleland, F. V. Dlngman, Edward Drake, Dr. Emmett Drake. H. H. Em mons, T. J. Geisler, Theodore O. Glad ding, George W. Hazen, Dr. C. E. Hill, George H. Hill. C. M. Idleman, F. C. Little, Charles E. Lockwood, Charles F. Lord J. P. Marshall, Franklin P. Mays, Dr. B. E. Miller. J. P. Moffett, R. G. Morrow, B. S. Pague, Will' G. Steel. George T.

A min ing ensrineer and geological surveyor have both been busy lately in the neigh borhood of Tandaragee Castle, the North of Ireland home of Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, when he visits Ireland. The presumption is that coal In abun dant quantities is to be found in these regions, and that the far-seeing mil lionaire desires to know something of the approximate value before he de cides to part with his interests either in the castle Itself or in the lands ad joining. It is significant that the Duchess of Manchester, who is his daughter, has lately been interesting herself in pro posals for the construction of a rail way that would connect Tandaragee with the port of Londonderry, the esti mated cost of which is Jl, 500, 000. She has offered to find the bulk of the money, which means that she and her father have views about the commer cial soundness of such a scheme. This new railway has immense possibilities; it will open up a district that has hitherto been handicapped for want of railroad communication, and will give the Irish farmer no further excuse for the ofTepeated story that Irish pro duce can find no market outside the plot In which it is grown. General Evans Is Guest. General Robert K. Evans, of Wash ington, D. C. chief of the division of military affairs, who is visiting in Portland, and Mrs. Evans, were guests of honor at a formal supper given at the Commercial Club last night by the General Staff of the Oregon National Guard. A number of after-dinner ad dresses were given. Those attending were Adjutant-General Finzer, Inspector-General Jackson, Judge Advocate-General White, Colonel Hammond, polonel Poorman, Major Bowen, and Captain weicn, an oi me oenerai Stan of the Oregon National Guard; Captain Jackson, U. S. A.; Lieutenant Endicott, instructor of the Oregon National Guard: Major Knapp and Miss Marion Jackson. In attendance also were the wives of the members of the General Staff and the other guests. RELIEF IS GRANTED Emergency Appropriation Pro vided in Resolution. MEASURE IS SENT TO TAFT Temporary Help Is Given Govern ment, by Congress In Carrying On Affairs McCumber Has Plan to Aid Veterans. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Temporary relief for the bankruptcy in which the Government found itself Thursday was granted by- Congress through the pass age of an emergency appropriation resolution which was sent at once to the President late today. It carries forward the appropriations as they ex isted in June and July for another "half month." By August 15 It is ex pected the annual appropriation bills will have been passed. An attack was made on the emer gency measure in the Senate on the ground that it provided no funds to meet the Increase in pensions recently authorized. The emergency appropria tion Is for "necessary expenses of Gov ernment" and for "the payment of pen sions." In neither instance, however, does it provide for anything further than the estimates as they existed In June. Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, charged that Congress was "keeping the old soldiers out of their pay," by this means of supplying money for the Government. Senator McCumber, chairman of the Senate pensions committee, said that claims amounting to $30,000,000 would be ready for payment by the ead of this week for which there were no funds. Mr. McCumber presented a resolu tion to meet the pension emergency. This resolution will be called up for action tomorrow. It authorizes the appropriation of $30,000,000. or as much of that amount as is necessary to meet pension claims that may "be due and payable on or before Au gust 4." ' Charges were made by members of each paxty that the other was respon sible for delaying the appropriation bills. Practically all the big appropriation bills are pending and work of devel opment and extension in the depart ments has been stopped. STYLE IN JOURNALISM.

GAELIC TONGUE REVIVED Adherents Favor Its Use In Coming v. Home Rnle Parliament. DT7BLIN. Aug. 3. (Special.) By way of anticipating the establishment of a Home Rule Parliament In this city. Douglas Hyde, who Is at the head of the Gaelic League, has made the some what momentous announcement that in the interests of the language movement its advocates can no longer remain out side politics, an Indication that a lan guage revival party will be a feature of the new constitution. Some of the great Gaelic revivalists' supnorters even go farther and sug gest that the debate in the Irish House of Commons ought to be conducted, so far as it is possible, in the native lan guage. Should the latter proposal take shape, the Irish party, as it is at pres ent constituted, would have to find an other occupation, because Its members with one or two exceptions, have not even a superficial acquaintance with the Gaelic tongue. Hitherto the Gaelic. League has kept consistently aloof from politics, devoting its activities entirely to the revival of what threatened to become a dead language and the pro motion of native industries. Ireland fullv realizes the great amount of useful work the league has done In this respect, with the result that if Douglas Hyde cared at any time to assume the role of a political leader, John Redmond, with all his popularity, would have to take a back seat. Hyde Is not a politician, but a scholar of brilliant attainments, whoso tame is known to two hemispheres. As a mem ber of an Irish Parliament his place would be as Minister of Education, and this Is one of the things that the pres ent reactionary National Board of Edu cation dreads. There is no doubt that the Gaelic League is going to be a dominating factor in the political life of Ireland under any scheme of home rule. PRINCE FAVORS IRELAND Arthur of Connaught Finds Great est Pleasure in Connemnra. DUBLIN, Aug. 3. (Special.) rrince Arthur of Connaught, like his sister, Princess "Pat," who made such a fa vorable Impression in New York, lias always shown a personal interest in Ireland. His father's title, which sliows remarkable disregard for Oliver Crom well's war cry "to hell with Con naught" may have something to do with his affection lor Connaught scenery. For the last year or two the Prince has been very much in evidence in Con. nemara, exploring Its wilds and taking advantage of its big- fishing facilities, staying invariably at Kylemore Castle, the marble home of the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, which is close to Lough Corrib, one of the great fish ing resorts of lrelimd. His recent elec tion to the Jockey Club opens up to him a new channel of intercommunica tion with Ireland and the Irish people, because he has frequently expressed his delight with the sporting proclivities of the race. At any rate he has lost no time in putting on record an indorsement of, these views, for he has already given Instructions to Richard Croker to be on the lookout for some smart youngsters with which he proposes to start a rac ing stable of his own at Newmarket, under the care of Richard Marsh, the "royal trainer." After a time it is his intention to have a stable at the Cur rash of Kildare, where he proposes to have a hunch of horses to do duty "over the sticks" at the Irish race meetings.
