OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU,, Wash ington, June 23. ft Vice-President Kuirbanks la nominated to head the Re publican National ticket In 1908 and William J. Bryan Is the nominee of the Democratic party, betting odds will be placed on Bryan by gamblers and poli ticians who make it a. business to keep an ear to the ground. The fact Is Fairbanks- vould be an easy man for Bryan to defeat. Republicans In various parts of the vountry who have heard Fair banks speak and have met him in a purely personal way will be slow to be lieve this, but it is nevertheless a fact. Fairbanks at heart is not the man the public knows. The pub lic Is acquainted with Vlce-Presi-, dent Fairbanks; there are some others prominent in the business and political world who know iifiimately Fairbanks the man, and, if ever the In diana statesman is placed at the head of the Republican ticket, these persons have taken, a vow to expose to the world the true inwardness of the Re publican nominee, and they have facts and proof that will be astonishing. Weak Points or Candidates. The very fact that Fairbanks will Fplit his own party it nominated makes him a weak candidate; the doubt of his ability to carry Indiana is another weakness, and the failure of leading politicians in the Republican ranks to give him their hearty support will all tend to undermine his strength. These things, taken in connection with the wonderful enthusiasm that has greeted the revival of the Bryan boom, give evidence of tne strength these two men might be expected to develop If they ever faced each othe on the National campaign field. Many Republicans think that Roose velt Is the only Republican who can defeat Bryan In 190S, if the latter' s pop ularity continues to grow as it has grown since the latest revival started. Taft would make a good running against any Democrat but Bryan, but Taft as a candidate for high elective office is an unknown quantity to the Republican voters, and it is doubted if he would run well against Bryan. Taft. it will be recalled, made an effort to commit the Govern ment to the purchase of Panama canal supplies In foreign markets when they could be bought cheaper abroad than at home. This one flaw In his rec ord would bo used with deadly effect against him by Bryan. Root Able, but Cold. Secretary Root, still mentioned in some quarters as a presidential possi bility, is not growing In popularity. In fact Root is not the kind of man to appeal to the average voter. All would recognize his ability, but he is inclined to be cold and does not make friends readily. Root Is the kind of man who would instantly appeal to the educat ed class of Republicans the men who think for themselves. His deep knowl edge, his remarkably sound judgment and his well-known balance all com mend him to thoughtful men, but this class does not predominate In any po litical party at the polls, and Roofs failure to appeal to the masses would be his source of weakness, especially In a campaign with Bryan as his oppo nent. Secretary Shaw is to be reckoned with, but somehow the Shaw boom does not seem to take hold. Shaw Is a good fel low, genial, approachable, bright and en tertaining; a good campaigner and a eplendid advertiser. But Shaw has a fac ulty of making breaks that are bound to prove Injurious, such as his late blunder In raising the question of veracity with the President, something that no man can safely do under this administration. Shaw, like Fairbanks, will have a hot fire built under him at home when he gels into the race for the Presidential nomination, and this may cause him mora embaTrassment. With all his pe culiar ability, Shaw is not the man to appeal to the "common people" as does Bryan, and he would not be a match for the "peerless leader" should Bryan run on a platform that was at all conserva tive. All Points to Roosevelt. All of which leads up to the conclusion that. In case Bryan is nominated by the Democrats, it may be necessary for the Republicans to name Roosevelt in order to win. Roosevelt will not ask for another nomination even to beat Bryan, but there Is a growing helief among leading politi clans In Congress that he will be In a re- ceptlve mood if the next National conven tion wants him again to head the ticket. It Bryan Is still In the running in 1908 there will be a lively sparring to de termine which party shall hold its con vention first. The Republicans, for I change, will desire to convene after the Democratic ticket Is named, for a great deal will depend upon whom the Demo crats nominate. If Bryan is to be nomi nated the Republicans will want to know it, so that they can nominate Roosevelt: if Bryan is to be turned down the Re publicans can observe the third-term rule and choose a new nominee. The Demo crats, of course, will be well aware of the desire of their antagonists In this particular, and will probably hold off until after the Republican ticket Is- named. Roosevelt Against Bryan. A race between Roosevelt and Bryan would be more interesting than any po litical contest of recent years more In teresting than the race of 1896 between McKlnley and Bryan, and it would prob ably be a closer race than that or the ensuing contest In 1900. Bryan Is advocating many things for which Roosevelt stands; he is a Irust buster and a general reformer; Bryan was for "railroad rate regulation; he favors a revision of the tariff and is an advocate of purity In elections. On these points there can be little preference be tween the declarations of Roosevelt and Bryan. But Roosevelt's advantage comes In through his record for accomplishment. He has brought about railroad rate leg islation; he has curbed some of the trusts, Is prosecuting others, is now stamping down the beef trust and has done much to secure the enactment of the new law prohibiting corporations from contrlbut- ng to political campaign funds. .And It Is well known that he is In sympathy with the policy of having the tariff re vised by its friends, and stands ready to advocate that move when another Con gress convenes. By the time Bryan can be nominated the tariff will probably have been revised, and by a Republican Congress and a Republican President. Roosevelt Strong With Labor. When It comes to popularity, Bryan would stack up against a strong oppon ent In Roosevelt, the only man in the Republican party who has such a hold upon the masses. In this respect, too. Roosevelt Is strong by reason of his ac complishments; whereas Bryan Is strong because of his promises. Union labor has every reason to be grateful to President Roosevelt, and through John Mitchell, head of the Miners' Union. Roosevelt would make great Inroads Into Bryan's old following among this class. Aside from this the many other tilings Roose velt has done for the laboring men make him popular among the class on which "Bryaiifc must draw most heavily for his suppprt. Bryan's strength among the business In terests would depend largely upon the sort of platform he would run on. If It savored of the principles for which he stood in 1S96 and 1900 his following would be slight, but if he stood for poli cies not detrimental but beneficial to the business of the country he would draw much more heavily among the class known as gold Democrats than he would otherwise. He could not .count on re ceiving many Republican votas, aside from those of the disgruntled and those who have a grudge against Roosevelt. Their numbers are comparatively small. Roosevelt, on the other hand, need but hold his own to win out. ..Far-seeing poli ticians believe that Roosevelt could beat Bryan In' 1908, but they agree that It would be a close, lively and Interesting campaign throughout. LURLINE. NEAR HONOLULU Probably Winner of First Trans pacific Yacht Race. HONOLULU. June 23. (7 P. M.) The yacht Lurline has been sighted. She is a winner over the Anemone In the first-trans-Paciflc yacht race between San Pe dro, Cal., and Honolulu, but La Paloma. the1 third yacht in the race, has a time allowance of 16 hours and may yet save the challenge cup she is defending. The greatest yacht race ever sailed on the Pacific Coast had its start at San Pedro, June 11, at noon, the course being over 2100 miles of open sea, and the con test being under the auspices of the South Coast Yacht Club. The Lurline, Commodore Sinclair, is the flagship of the club. She measures 91 feet over all and carries a crew of six men. She gives La Paloma 16 hours' time allow ance on account of the diminutive size of the cup defender. 'The latter measures 47 feet over all and carries a crew of five. She is under the flag of the Hawaiian Yacht Club. The Anemone gives the Lurline 11 hour, being the largest of the three yachts, measuring 112 feet over all and carrying a crew of 11. The Anemone is a New York Yacht Club vessel. PLUNGER ABANDONS WIFE Called Down by Magistrate Gives Her $15 Off Big Roll. NEW YORK, June 23. (Special.)' Riley Grannan, the noted turf plunger, was a prisoner in the Coney Hand police court today on complaint of his wife, who de clared he abandoned her and refused to contribute to her support. Mrs. Grannan, who was formerly Daisy Dixon, an act ress, told the magistrate she had contract ed bills at several hotels and was badly In need of money. Grannan pleaded "not guilty" and refused to make a statement because his lawyer was- not In court. "What are you going to do for your wife now?" asked the magistrate. The ex-plunger pulled out a massive roll of bills, drew off .15 and gave it to his wU.

A crowd of 1700 saw Dan M. Kelly, of Multnomah, play with records at today's Northwest ern track meet. In the 100-yard da.h he tied the world's record of 0:09 S-5. and at the same time broke the .American ama teur record. He also equalled the Amer ican amateur record of 0:21 1-5 In the 220-yard dash, made by B. J. Wefers, May 30. 1S96. Northwestern Association records were broken as follows: Broad Jump, 23 feet S14 inches, by Kelly; shot put, 42 feet 84 inches, by Hug. of Multnomah; pole vault, 11 feet 4 inches., by Gilbert, of Multnomah; discus thow, 117 feet 8 inches, by Huff.

X'o Doubt of Record. As to the authenticity of Kelly's time in the sprints, President C. C. Hozell, the executive head of the N. W. P. A. A., under which auspices the meet was held, said: "There cannot be the slightest ques tion as to our right to claim the Ameri can record for Kelly, and we certainly Intend to do so. The president of the American Amateur Union, Joseph R. Mc Cabe. will be here in a week and we will present him with the required affi davits of the Judges as to the time, and of the clerk of course as to correct length of the distance actually run, which is all the steps necessary In establish ing the record. The American Amateur Union cannot throw it out. as there was no wind at the back of the runners to assist them." The course was measured almost Im PROFESSOR SERGEI A. MOUROXT 8EFF.

He was born in 1S50. is a member of a noble family of St. Petersburg, and re ceived his education in Moscow Uni versity. Law was the branch that he chiefly stodled. and after he was graduated Professor MourontsefT be came an instructor In the university and attracted wide attention because of his -legal knowledge. Owing to his radical views, however, he was com pelled to leave, the university. For a time he practiced law. and then Vie became an editor, but his paper was speedily suppressed. His father was a Colonel, and his mother was de scended from one of the old Bo'yar families of the empire.

At first It was found to-be five Inches short, and there was some consternation among those who had hoped they had seen a new American record broken. The steel tape which was used to measure the course, however, had Just been used to measure the weight events and was hot. It was placed In a- water tank and cooled off, with the result that when the course was Anally measured with the cool taps It was found to be the exact 100 yards. Kelly Runs With Ease. Kelly won his race easily, about five feet ahead of Cary. of Spokane, who beat out Rex Smith, of Seattle, In the last ten yards for second place. Cary was coming fast at the finish and had It not been for a poor start might have crowded Kelly even closer. The Spokane team was completely out classed, but that did not spoil the event for the' Spokane audience.

Duffy's Record Is Blotted Out. - Arthur Duffy, of Georgetown University, is, the only other man in the world who ever ran the 100-yard dash in a qualified amateur meet in 9 J-5 seconds. Later, in fact but last WinteY, evidence was 'ad duced which proved that Duffy did not have amateur standing, but had made himself professional before tie made this record and therefore his record was thrown out. Duffy applied for an injunc tion to restrain the Amateur Athletic Union from taking such action, and it was but a few weeks ago that the New York courts denied him an injunction, thereby giving legal sanction to the Amateur Ath letic Union decree, which disqualified Duffy and refused to recognize his time as an amateur record. There Is no doubt that Kelly's record will stand. It was made under Amateur Athletic Union rules, and Kelly himself is. a bona fide amateur. Parsons, with his record of 0:9 4-5, made last Summer, will, have to take a back seat to the blonde-' haired boy from the sagebrush of Eastern Oregon. Kelly's work this season has been little short of phenomenal. Last Summer he was completely outclassed by the sprinters in the Lewis and Clark games. Even Smithson made him look slow.

The pure food bill was psesed today by the Hoiuw and the conference report on the railroad rate bill adopted. Nearly the entire day was taken up with the consideration of the pure-food bill under flve-mlnute rule, and. while many amendment, were offered, most of them were voted down. Those that were adopted were corrections and changes In verbiage, . The pure-food bill waa paewed by a vote of 242 to 17. The conference report on the rail road rate bill was taken up. and, while there was discussion of the antl-pafis agreement, the previous reso lution was adopted by a vote of 121 to 07, the conference report being agreed to, 216 to 4. WASHINGTON, June 23. The House to day ittssed the pure food bill after a debattin which the quality of preserved eggs, iie weight of canned tomatoes and the rtipective merits of straight and rect;f"J-w.hlsky wrought the members up ittftra. state' 'Sf gbm'iaVj excitement. The bill was amended toy c(rtl"S put the re quirement that food puciKages must be branded with the weight or measure. The Sother' members failed to secure art amerMmc'it requiring the Ingredients or rectiilod whisky to be stated on the package. Everything was smooth sailing until the soscalled package, amendment was reached, and then the legislative sea became exceedingly choppy. Mann (111.), in charge of the bill, offered the commit tee amendment, heretofore printed, that the time the package was put up must be on the container, together with the weight of measure on the outside of the package. A dozen members were on their feet immediately after the reading of ' the amendment. t ' "Mr. Chairman," was heard all over the house. Sherman (N. Y.) offered an amendment YOUNG "QrEEN OF MOONSHIN ERS" A TERROR. Betsy . Sims. Betsy Sims, aged 22, "Queen of the Moonshiners" and idol of the North Carolina mountain outlaws, was ar rested recently for selling moonshine whisky. The Judge, on hearing of her large sales of Illegal product, de cided to make an example of the girl and sentenced her to four months in the County Jail at Columbus, N. C. The Jail is a frame structure, not strong. In the celling of Betsy's cell was a trapdoor leading to a cell above, occupied by the only other prisoner, a man named Chalmers, under sen- -tence to the penitentiary for man slaughter. ' Collecting some sticks, Betsy held them In a fire built in her cell by a sympathetic Jailer for her comfort and raised the flaming torch to the trap door. This soon was burne'd out. allowing Chalmers to descend to the girl's cell. The two then proceeded to dig their way out. The man got away, but Betsy was caught by the jailer. She fought desperately, cutting the Jailer In five places with a knife. She is now be ing held for assault with Intent to kill, but boasts that she will yet escape from Jail. PUB THROUGH I i. i ' In substance striking out the time pro vision. Sherman said that under the pen alty provided the weight and measure, if stated, must be correctly stated, which he argued was very difficult He said that this was a most serious question, in volving as It did vast Interests, .and It should not be hastily passed. The house wife knew she could not get the same weight Into every can of fruit she put up and it would work a hardship on the big canner to -put ihe weight on each, for cans of standard size do vary in weight. He said if every can and every bottle must contain the correct weight. It would drive many canneries out of business, be cause of the Incidental expense attached to tne weighing and marking of the cans Kulfer (Ohio) cited instances of tomato and corn canneries In his district that would be forced out of business If the time- the package was put up must' be put on the can, together with the exact weight. Hayes (California) in whose district canning Industries, run' Into the tens of millions, insisted -that the effort being made to label the package with the meas ure and weight would overturn business policies of a lifetime and that to put into package form a certain amount of bis cuits would be well-nigh Impossible. Egg Company's Feelings Hurt. Parsons (New York) had read the fol lowing telegram from the Columbia Egg & Provision Company, of New York, which Mann had charged with importing rotten eggs for confectionery purposes. "Herbert Pansonp: Request your protec tlon against Congressman Mann's untrue and libelous statement about our goodn. They are preserved fresh eggs and the Agricultural Department knows it. Has It come to this, that legislation Is pro moted by slander and malice?" Parsons then said in explanation that the department said the "importations of this company smelt badly and were un fit for human food." Protests were heard on all sides against permitting the telegram to go Into the record, as it attacked a member of the House. Gaines (Tennessee) remarked that the "telegram Is rottener than the eggs." By unanimous consent. Parsons with drew the telegram and the consideration of the pure-food bill went on. Weight of Canned Tomatoes. Mann (Illinois) then took his position behind the improvised grocery counter to defend the committee amendment. He took up two cans of tomatoes, one canned In New Jersey, the other in Maryland, and weighed them on the standard scales. The Baltimore can weighed two pounds, five ounces, while the other weighed two (Concluded on Page 2.) CONTENTS TODAY'S PAPER The Weather. TKHTKRIM YS Maximum temperature, 85 deg. ; minimum. 55.

OTTAWA, Ont., June 23. (Special.) Sunday will be mora thoroughly ob served throughout Canada than in any other country in the world, if a Lord's day bill now before Parliament be comes law. The measure, -WhieTi is -government bill and thus sure of enact ment in its present form unless modi fied by the government itself, is the most sweeping piece of Sabbath legis lation ever framed. How wide In the scope of the bill may be judged from the followlns KUmmarv of lis mj.in re visions: , Must Not Enjoy Yourself. 1. H is unlawful to sell anything on Sunday, to transact any business of a person's calling 0r to employ any other person to do any work, business or la bor, except works of necessity, for money 2. Games and performances of all kinds for which an admission fee Is charged are made unlawful. 3. Excursions of every kind by land or , water, on which passengers ate car ried for amusement, are prohibited. 4. No public park or pleasure ground or amusement place of any kind to which an admission fee is charged can bt kept open. C. No person is allowed to shoot at a target or any other object. 6. Sale of foreign newspapers is prohibited. Exceptions Rigidly Laid Down. Certain specific exceptions to the first provision above are enumerated, but are extremely limited in scope. They allow: Work in connection with divine serv ice. Work for the relief of the sick. Sale of drugs. Work in respect to telegraphs and telephones. Essential work on any industrial pro cess of such a continuous nature that it cannot be stopped without serious injury. Work for the supply of heat, water, gas or light. Conveying of travelers: Continuous passage to their destina tion of trains and vessels In transit when Sunday begins. Loading and unloading of merchan dise at Intermediate points from pas senger boats or trains. Keeping railway tracks clear of snow and making emergency repairs. Work In handling trains in railroad yards before 6 A. M. and after 8 P. M. m Labor about an ocean vessel which would otherwise be unduly delayed in sailing. Cariug for livestock and perishable products. Operation of a ferry or a passenger boat. Hiring of horses for personal use. " Newspaper Men May Work. Work' after 8 P. M. in preparing the Monday edition- of newspapers. Work after 4 P. M. in connection with setting bakers' sponge. " Delivery of milk and ice. The work of domestic servants. . The operation of interprovincial or international electric car lines. It will thus be seen not ony that all usual business vocations and work must cease absolutely on Sunday, but that the operation of freight trains and freight vessels, unless in transit when Sabbath begin, must cease, and that operation of street-cars, except on lines specifically made exempt, must also stop.
