Through beautiful box work by Oscar
Jones' pretty pinch hitting and
some ragged work on the part
of the home guard the visiting Slwashes
managed again to break Into the win col
umn. 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

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.
Charges Collusion With Gamblers. '
MILWAUKEE. July 28. Umpire War
ner, of- the American Association,- -demands
an investigation of the charge of
collusion with gamblers in Minneapolis in
connection with the Minneapolis-Columbus
series played at Minneapolis last week.
President O'Brien states that he will call
a meeting either of the board of directors
or of the whole association within a few
days, when -the charges against the um
pire will be thoroughly investigated.

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.

T
Merchant Robbed and Shot in
Broad Daylight.
ROBBERS FIGHT THE POLICE
After Desperate Struggle WJth Their
Victim, They. Shoot Policeman
iu Running Fusillade Two
of Trio Captured.
BOSTON, July 28. Patrolman Herman
Shiel and Thomas Hickey. of Wakefield,
a coal merchant, lie seriously wounded
at the City Hospital, the victims of three
robbers who in broad daylight held up,
robbed and shot Hickey in his office at
Charlestown today, then engaged tn a
street battle with the police. In which
Shiel was maimed by bullets fired by the
desperadoes.
Such a bold crime has not occurred an
Boston for many years, and the police
directed every effort to the- capture of
the third of the criminals, the other two
having been arrested as the climax of
the struggle with the authorities. Hickey
was robbed of $300 in cash and valuable
papers.
The two men taken Into custody are
George W. Bverson, 27 years of age, of
New York City, and Fred Sacckatl, .'10
years old, of Bridgeport, Conn.
The three entered the office, where Mr.
Hickey was alone, and, aiming a revolver
at him, ordered him to hold up his hands.
Hickey obeyed, and one of the men kept
him covered while the other two searched
the safe. They secured J130. When they
turned to leave, Mr. Hickey shouted for
help. One of the robbers turned and
fired at him, the bullet taking effect in
his ear.
Officers were brought to the scene by
Hickey's cries, and, giving chase to the
highwaymen, captured two of them, after
one had shot Shiel in the leg. Shiel re
turned the fire, but his bullets went wild.
Other policemen pursued the robbers, and
after more shooting captured two of
them.
EVIDENCE BURNED IN CARS
Burlington Suspected r. of Ruse to
Cover Up Rebating.
OMAHA, July 28. (Special.) Two large,
freight cars of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad, filled with boxes, bags
and barrels of old papers, which had the
appearance of railroad company records,
were burned on a remote sidetrack In
Central Nebraska, near the little town of
Greeley Center, late Thursday night.
Some of the papers were blown away
from the fire and picked up by Matthew
Luce, son of a farmer whose home is near
the siding, and on them the word "re
bate" appears.
Circumstances attending the burning of
the cars has aroused suspicion among
the people of that vicinity that the rail
road company might have used "this
means of destroying reoords of rebating
operations. This is strengthened by the
following letter, which young Luce picked
up among other papers:
"Beatrice, Neb., March 11, 1904. Mr. Ed
