The final score was 6-0. and a great big 0 at that, for Jones' shutout was clean and decisive. The sidewheel pitcher had all the control, confidence and curves that one time caused him to be classed tn the best of big league com pany. He had the Beavers faded from -the clap of the gong, and at no stage of the game did they have a look-in. Bill Essick pitched into a tight hole In the opening round. Bull Croll, first up, laid down a neat bunt which gave him life. Van Btiren forced him at second. Then, hits by Blankertshlp and Strelb, neither of which went out of the diamond, enabled Van to score. The fifth saw more fireworks for the Indians. Croll boosted his hitting average some more by ltfting one to the left gar den for two bases. Essick Juggled Blank enshtp's grounder and the fast little catcher Immediately appropriated another base while Bill and Donny were decid ing on what kind of a curve would puz zle Householder most. Apparently they guessed wrong, for Eddie hit the next one over the length of the field, Croll and Blank galloping In. And again in the eighth the skies were gloomy for the Beavers. Blankenship and Householder both hit again in succes sion. Julie Streib sacrificed, advancing them a peg, and Donohue let a quick break from Essick get away. Blank came across and Householder followed a few minutes later, when Larry McLean came in too fast on a hit from Mott's bat. The locals did not even get dangerous during the seance. Mitchell found his hatting eye and hit for two out of three times up, but the other Blues who usually are good for bingoes could not connect cloan on the lopsided twirler from the Pound city. Then, too, Portland played rather listlessly in the field. The home guard seemed to be without life, and sev eral times where snappy playing might have stopped up bad holes they assisted Srattle along by bungles. The crowd was the biggest for a week day which has been out for some time. There was lots of enthusiasm and Hodson came in for liberal and generous slices of roust for hie freakish work. Vk-kers versus Califf or Gum are the turds for today. This will decide whether Seattle will break even on the series or not. Portland goes on the road this week, and It Is up to the boys to get in the game strong today in order that they may start south fit. The abbreviat ed tale: PORTLAND. Player. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

LEGAL FIGHT Q'J OFFICIALS SUIT- TO COMPEL MUTUAL LIFE TO DROP NOMINEES. Unwilling Insurance Candidates Are Making Struggle to Keep Off - Ticket as Trustees. ALBANY. N..T., July 28. The fight of the international policy-holders' commit tee to compel the Mutual Life Insurance Company to drop the names of Judge Gray, Colonel Shook, General Tracey and Harlow N. Higginbotham, members of that committee, from the administration ticket for trustees of the Mutual Com pany, came up before Supreme Court Jus tice Howard today in the form of an ap plication for an order requiring Superin tendent Kelsey, of the State Insurance HARRY MURPHY DIDN'T MAKE THESE trff"iinnrsWfflF Department, to strike the four names from the list of nominations filed with him. The papers were so amended as to In clude the Mutual Company, with Super intendent Kelsey In the case as respond ent. Samuel Untermyer, general counsel for the policy-holders' committee, filed a brief, and Mr. McKeen, general solicitor of the Mutual, was given until Monday to do so. Justice Howard said the only question for the court to decide was whether the proper proceedings have been adopted to have the names removed. He intimated, however, that there was no law under which a man could be compelled to serve as a trustee against his will. "The whole purpose of the beneficent legislation of 1S0S will be defeated," said Mr. Untermyer in the course of his argument, "if by devious methods those at present in control of the in surance companies and particularly of the Mucual Life shall be permitted to obstruct the free and Intelligent exer cise by qualified voters of the right of -suffrage conferred upon them, in exercising that right they are entitled under that act to co-operation of the defendant in enforcing upon the com pany the performance of all its statu tory duties in the matter of nomina tions and elections. The superintend ent of insurance is specifically given the supervision of the election and required to aprove the form of ballot. These are duties resting upon -him in his official character solely, and are In every respect public ducies, and properly subject to enforcement by the courts. "The dishonest purpose that ani mated the trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance Company In making these unauthorized nominations Is as clear as it is contemptible. They have taken a leaf out of the book of disreputable politicians. The nomination of a few reformers in conjunction with tried and true henchmen of the political ma chines is a favorite resort of political bosses driven to desperation, and not Infrequently hitherto has accomplished the purpose of confusing enough voters to insure the election of candidates who otherwise would have been de feated." "The only question that seems to be Involved here," said Justice Howard, "is whether you can place a man on a ticket against his will." "Men are nominated every day in the week without their knowledge," re plied McKeen, "and it is generally con sidered a high compliment. Our com pany has not yet received any declina tion of the men named in this pro ceeding." Policemen Appear in Their New Badges POLICEMEN' last night relegated their badges to the ash heap, and pinned the entire department is proud. Police men strutted about last night with their heads higher in the air than a woman with a new gown. The new badges, which have been ex pected for so many months, were given to patrolmen last night. In place of the shield which has been worn by the peace officers heretofore, - they have been given a star incircled with a broad band, each of the five points outside the band being surmounted with a small cap shaped like a large bead.

IviEARS DEPARTS FOR HONOLULU Delegated to Visit Hawaii the Interest of Trade Relations. in WILL BID FOR COMMERCE While at San Francisco the Secre tary Will Confer With. General i Manager Schwerin on Steamship Service. W. A. Mears, secretary of the Oregon Wholesale Grocers' Association, and spe cial' delegate of the Portland merchants to the Hawaiian Islands, left on his mission last-evening, and expects to be gone about six weeks. Mr. Mears goes via San Francisco, and while there will be joined by a delegate from the transportation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and to gether they will confer with R P. Schwer in, general manager of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company, relative to the betterment of the service between this city and San Francisco.. The - merchants of this city have come to look upon the Harriman . steamship service given Portland as a disgrace to a city of this size, and the two delegates are to make a strenuous effort to secure better service from this line, and if they are not successful they are empowered to treat with other firms relative to securing PICTURES AT THE OAKS, BUT THEY LOOK AS IF HE REALLY HAD bOrA NOVTH HCtR relief from the present situation. In re. ferrlng to his mlsMon, Mr.- Mears said: "If no immediate relief Is guaranteed w are authorized to treat with other steamship lines, and will use our utmost endeavors -to. secure better conditions in the matter of transportation facilities than are now in evidence. We know that Seattle has been favored by a first-class line of steamships by this company, and we propose to find out why Portland should be discriminated against In this way. The steamship company has told us that they cannot get crews to man their vessels, but at the same time there is no interference with the vessels- they send to the Sound and other points, which would indicate that they either do not care for the local trade, or that they shy at the expense of placing new vessels in commission to handle the trade. Just what the reason Is we Intend to discover, and if necessary, will secure relief from other quarters. "As for my trip to Hawaii, I am going a sthe delegate of the merchants of Portland, and have my credentials made out as secretary of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and as the representative of the local merchants, shall thoroughly Investigate the wants of the islanders and ascertain what commodities they have which may be of use to us. It will be my purpose In every way possible to instill into the merchants of tha islands the fact that Portland Is well able to satisfy many of their wants, and that our country la ready and willing to open trade relations on a broad scale, with the Territory of Ha waii. "This is no mean task," continued Mr. Richard W. Wilder, Chairman a the Multnomah Tennis Committee Which , Successfully Managed the Touma-' ment. f Mears, "for the islanders have been look ing toward San Francisco as the base of the?r supplies for over SO years, and to turn the tide of trade elsewhere will re quire considerable effort on the part of the local merchants. After visiting Ho nolulu, I shall go to Hilo and continue the same line there, as we want the whole territory to know of Oregon's resources." Secretary Mears will be gone about six weeks. He will sail from San Francisco on the Sanoma on August 2, and will probably return on the Sierra on Sep tember 3. Schooner James Butler Launched. ABERDEEN. Wash.. July 28. (Sp? cial.)

EVIDENCE BURNED IN CARS Burlington Suspected r. of Ruse to Cover Up Rebating. OMAHA, July 28. (Special.)
