THE JrORXIXG OREG ONI AN. FRIDAY. TUNE 20, 1913. FANATIC AT ASCOT TRACK IS TRAMPLED Gold Cup Race Marred by Man Who Is Probably Fatally Injured by Kick. MISS DAVISON IMITATED King's Horse, Far in Lead, Hurled to Ground by Impact Inter im ptor X'ot Connected AVitli Suffragettes, Police Say. A.SCOT. Kngland. June 13. The race fur the Ascot gold cup. one of the most coveted prizes of the English turf, was marred today by an incident similar to that which brought down the King's horse in the Derby when Emily Wilding Davison sought and found death in the cause of the militant suffragettes. In this case it was a man, Harold Hewitt, who emulated Hiss Davison's feat. According to the Ascot police Hewitt was. not connected with, the suf fragettes, but was of unsound mind and of a type peculiarly liable to be car ried away by the imitative impulse. He received the same penalty for his te merity as did Miss Davison a fracture at the base of the skull. At a late hour tonight Hewitt was lying unconscious in a hospital, after undergoing an operation in the forlorn hope that his life might be saved. KIdk and Queen Nee Mishap. King George and Queen Mary, cx Klng Manuel of Portugal, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden, the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Canada, and Princess Patricia and a number of lesser royalties were watching the race from the royal stand. Coming down the straightaway, Au gust Belmont's famous colt. Tracery, a 'on of Kock Island, shot into the lead. He was going like a well-oiled piece of machinery and soon had the nearest horse several lengths behind. Seeming ly Tracery was assured of an easy vic tory. Suddenly a man jumped from the rails, waving a red flag with one hand and with the other pointing a re volver at Jockey Whalley, who had the mount on Tracery. "Pull up! Pull up! or I'll shoot you!" the man shouted. Wballey Tries to Turn Horn?. "Whalley did his best to divert the horse's course, but failed. Tracery, striking the man full in the chest with his shoulder, sent him flying several yards and- came down on his nose M'halley shot clear o the saddle, but being an adept at taking a toss, fell on his back and rolled to safety under tho rails. Meantime the other horses came thundering on, one of them giving the author of all the trouble, who lay sprawling, a terrible kick on the head in passing. Save for some bruises Whalley was uninjured and when the King sent for him he walked stiffy to the royal box to receive congratulations on his es cape. Hewitt Well Educated. Hewitt is a,bout 50 years old. Accord ing to the police he is a. cultured man, having been educated at Harrow and Cambridge, and is possessed of inde pendent means. He had shown evi dences of religious mania. A. Bible was found on him. the fly leaf of which was full of quotations. Also he had a diary In which the last entry was made a few hours before his mad act. It reads: "Oh, the weariness of these races. If 1 fail in my intention to stop the gold cup, I hope 1 shall not hurt any of those jockeys. Those .races bring out all that is worst in humanity." In another entry he refers to his in tention "to give my body as a protest against society convention." Tho Ascot cup was won by the 5-year-ld Prince Palatine, owned by T. Pilk inston. The race was at two and a halt miles, with 3500 sovereigns added. BURGLAR'S SLAYER SUICIDE Japanese Shoots Himself When Po lice Ask Him to Explain. . IX)S ANGELES, June 19. TaTo Awa mura, a Japanese porter of a lodging house, killed a burglar early today and committetd suicide when policemen asked him to explain. Papers in his possession led the police to believe he had been engaged In illegal traffic and that the fear of facing prosecution on charges growing out of this, rather than of shooting the burglar. Impelled him to take his life. There were two. robbers and they took $o5 from tinder the pillow of C E Roper while he was asleep. Awamura heard the burglars as they ran down the hallway. He fired twice and one of the men fell dead. The other escaped Awamura then told the proprietor that a. man had been killed in the house.

BRITISH SCANDAL TO DROP "'"ntlmied from First Page.) mm the Secretary for Foreign Affairs Mave the impression that the advocates we:e not enthusiastic over their cli ents. Mr. Balfour and Mr. Law had the appearance of performing a. disagree able duty. The vote on Sir William Adklns' amendment was strictly on party lines, the Laborltes and National ists supporting the government, al though a few Liberals and Laborites refrained' from voting. Afterward the House adopted it as a substitute for the resolution Introduced yesterday by George Cave in behalf of the oppo sition, without division. The committee majority report, which was generally called a "whitewash," had not a friend from the beginning, except its authors. Rule of Prudence' Violated. Premier Asquith in the course'of his speech today submitted that the two Cabinet Ministers had broken no rule of obligation, but had failed to ob serve a rule of prudence. He had never neara a fuller, franker or more manlv explantion than theirs, he said. 1 ne ministers concerned have suf fered for an error of judgment, a pen alty quite as heavy as ever visited such an error under similar circumstances," continued the Premier. "Is it wise or just for the public to persist in this motion? The ministers have admitted their error, but their honor is unstained. They have abused no public trust, they retain the com plete confidence of their political asso ciates and I ask the House to say that it repudiates the infamous calumnies which have been disproved and to put on record that the absolute statements are accepted." Henry Edward Duke, Unionist for Exeter, assailed the majority report. Opposition Is Merciful. Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition leader, said that his party had no de slde to drive the ministers out of public life. The opposition did not push the charges vindictively; the ministers alone were to blame for the situation which had arisen. When the country found, after their speeches in October, that the ministers had been dealing in SHIP WRECKED OFF CALIFORNIA COAST Steam Schooner Riverside Hits Reef and Sinks Near Cape Mendocino. 38 ON VESSEL ESCAPE Crew of 3 6 and Captain's Wife and Child Jjeave Craft in Boats When Wireless Fails Officers Say Current Is Responsible.

The feature of the session was the general manager's report of operations for the last year. The transactions in timber lands have been unusually heavy, said Manager Long, exceeding the sales of any year in the history of the company. The timber sold amount ed to close to 750,000.000 feet, distribu ted between 40 and 60 mills. This, he said, is more timber than the Govern ment records show was sold from the United States forest reserves in Wash ington, Oregon and California in the corresponding time. These sales, he Bald, refute the imputation that the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company is busy tying up all the standing timber in the country. The following directors were elected: F. Weyerhaeuser. P. M. Musser. F. C. Denkmann, L. Lamb, William Carson, J- I. Weyerhaeuser, G. S. Long, F. S. Bell. F. 11. Thatcher, H. H. Irvine and G. L. Irvine, W. L. McCormick. The only change is the election of John P. Weyerhaeuser in place of F. 13. Weyer haeuser on the board. The directors re-elected old officers without change. BALLOT TITLES SETTLED A. C.
