INSPIRED BY RAGE HATRED
JAPANESE KEFUSED TO

AID
Mongolia Passenger Not Satisfied
With Excuses Made for Officers
of Mikado's Training Ship.
That It was race hatred, and race hatred
only, that moved the officers of a Jap
anese training ship to refuse aid to the
steamship Mongolia when she was strand
ed on ' a coral reef at Midway Island
recently, ig the belief of H. V. Robbins,
of Los Angeles, who was one of the
Mongolia's passengers at the time the
Accident occurred. Mr. Robbins is visit
ing Portland and is now a guest at the
Hotel Portland.
The Japanese Government has offered
various excuses for the action of the offi
cers of the training ship, among them
thi(t she did not have sufficient fuel and
was not provided with enough cable to
haul the Mongolia off. but these excuses
do not convince Mr. Robbins.
"It was deliberate desertion and noth
ing else," declared Mr. Robbins yester
day. "The captain of the training ship
did not want to assist the Mongolia or
her passengers and sailed away knowing,
I think, that he could have helped the
big liner out of her trouble if he had
wanted to, I think it is 'a disgrace to
the Japanese nation, and although the
officials of the steamship company have
tried to hush up the affair the fact re
mains that the training ship deserted us
without so much as an apology for aid.
"I am convinced that the trouble arose
over the cabin passengers of the Mongolia
not recognising the Japanese steerage
passengers as their equals when we were,
landed upon the island. The cabin pas
sengers made their quarters In the houses
belonging to the cable company at one
end of the island and at the other 4M
Japanese steerage passengers -ere told
to stay.
"The white women were allowed to sleep
In the houses, but most of the men had
to make themselves comfortable in the
open air and fared little better than the
Japanese.
"The first night the Japanese sent a
committee to us and requested that they
be allowed to live with us. They asserted
that as we were all castaways, everybody
should be treated alike and that there
should be no separation of the races or
classes. The committee called upon us
several times. Of course we would not
accede to its request. This greatly in
censed the Japanese and we expected that
they would make trouble for us, but they
did not.
"When the training ship arrived off the
Island and her officers landed, the steer
age passengers at once told them of our
refusal to allow them to stay at the
same end of the island with us. I think
that determined the officers of the train
ing ship to give us no aid.
"For two days the training ship cruised
about the island taking soundings. We
thought she was preparing to help the
Mongolia off the reef. Then the night
of the second day the training ship dis
appeared. The next morning the Mon
golia floated on a high tide.
"If the Japanese had attached a cable
to the stranded steamer it would have
been a comparatively easy matter to have
floated her. Captain Porter, of the Mon
golia, went to the captain of the. training
ship and beseeched him to sell one of the
two steam launches on board. The Jap
anese refused.
"I believe the training ship took sound
ings so that in case war ever broke out
between the United States and Japan, the
cable could be cut at Midway Island.

Heavyweights Hold Score Even Until
Second Half, When Three Shots
Get Past Goalkeeper Richmond.
For 15 or 20 minutes yesterday after
noon an association football team of
towering seamen from the British
Steamship Manchester Port, the British
ship Glenalvon and the French ship
Jacobson, had the Portland Association
Football Club's -eleven thoroughly
alarmed. In an exciting game on the
Portland Cricket Club grounds, near
East Thirty-ninth and Belmont streets.
It was not until the second half was
well advanced that the city players got
in scoring shape. Three goals wert
then made in rapid succession and the
game ended 4 to 1 in Portland's favor.
The unusually good showing of the
Seaman's Institute was made possible
by the arrival of the Manchester Port
in harbor. This ship carries a crew
largely from Manchester, England, cen
ter of one of the hottest "socker"" re
gions in the world. 100 organizations
existing in and around the town. Sev
eral of these men have been first class
players in their time, but life on the
rolling deep is not conducive to good
condition for fast football on land, and
this and lack of practice hampered the
visitors, whose last games were played
13 months ago, at Bllboa, Spain, where
they won a game and lost one.
Cavar, a Frenchman, who was one
time a member of the champion Dun
kirk eleven, of the Northern Football
Association of France, played center
for the, seamen. He gave evidence of
having been a fast, aggressive man,
before ' he went . down to the sea In
ships. Hodgson and Doffir, Institute
backs, played a strong game. Both are
heavyweights. Richmond, in goal, was
fast and clever, but displayed a ten
dency toward the erratic. Apart from
these, the seamen's outside left de
served a mention.
A notable feature was the Interest
taken by British captains In the match.
Captain Acraman, of the Manchester
Port; Captain King, of the Glenalvon,
and Captain Blrchell, of the Oweenee
were Intensely Interested spectators.
It was their cooperation that made so
strong a team possible for the, sailors
Chief Engineer Methver, of the Man
chester Port, was referee.
The city team did not play as well
as on previous Saturdays, some un
avoidable disorganization existing
among the combination. A return
match, weather permitting, will be
played on the same grounds next Sat
urday. The line-up follows:
Portland (4): Goal Robinson; backs
Rylance and Dyment; halves Dick
son. S. Mills and Albinson; right wing
Kllpack and Cuthbertson; left wing
Wilder and Vosper; center Matthew.
Seamen's Institute (1): Goal Rich
mond; backs Hodgson and Doffir;
halves Yorke. Pettigrew and Touxeau;
right wing Mitchell and Kirk; left
wing Dudley and Lightburn; center
Cavar.

TO 3E TRIED AT TAGDMA
THOMPSON CASE ENLISTS BRIL
LIANT ARRAY OF LAWYERS.
Judge Emory Was Much Beloved
and Had Long Been Friend
of Slayer's Father.
SEATTLE, Wash:, Dec. 1. (Special.)
The trial of Chester Thompson, son
of Will H. Thompson, the noted North
western lawyer, author, poet and vet
eran of the Civil War, for the murder
of Judge G. Meade Emory, ex-King
County Judge and one of the best
known attorneys of this state, will
commence at Tacoma December 6.
The trial was taken from King to
Pierce County because of the conten
tion that a prejudice exists here which
would deprive young Thompson of a
fair hearing.
In many particulars the trial will be
Interesting and sensational. The char
acters In the tragedy are all widely
known and, up to the time of the
Emory killing, the two families had
been Intimate.
The trial of young Thompson for
murder has developed animosities that
no outcome can settle. Emory's close
personal and business friends have
aided In the effort to send young
Thompson to the gallows, while the
aged and broken father will appear In
the defense of his son.
Will H. Morris, the man who con
ducted the defense of George Mitchell
and who has an enviable record of ac
quittals, will be chief counsel for young
Thompson. The senior Thompson and
W. P. Reynolds of Tacoma will .also be
In the case. Mr. Thompson was for
years counsel for the Great Northern
and is one of the shrewdest advocates
In the Northwest. He was a brother
of Maurice Thompson, author of "Alice
of Old Vlncennes," and other historical
novels. Will H. Thompson himself
wrote the most striking poem of the
Civil War, "High Tide at Gettysburg."
and was himself a veteran of the lost
cause. When ho retired from public
life, Mr. Thompson went In for archery
and he was one of the group that
competed in the St. Louis Exposition
finals.
Judge W. P. Reynolds, who will be
with the defense. Is well known. He Is
an ex-clty attorney of Tacoma, at
present a Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad attorney and sat for
years on the bench in Massachusetts.
In politics, Mr. Reynolds will be re
membered as the man who made W. P.
Prltchard's bitter fight to succeed
Judge Stiles on the Supreme Court
bench.
County Attorney Kenneth Mackintosh
and John F. Miller, his principal
deputy, will make the principal fight
for the state. But associated with
them will be ex-Assistant Attorney
General Thomas M. Vance. Mr. Vance
conducted the Attorney-General's office
during ' 1897-1901, at the time
Patrick Henry Winston was ill. He Is
in the case as a result of the insistence
of Judge Emory's oldtime friends and
associates who wanted extra help.
Emotional insanity will be the de
fense of young Thompson and a small
army of witnesses will be In attend
ance on his behalf. The county has
already subpenaed 29 persons to testify
against him and will likely add to this
number. Beginning with a light over
the selection of a jury the case will be
contested bitterly through each stage
and -it Is not expected to end before
Christmas.

OLYMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 1. Thirty-eight
per cent dividends were paid last year by
the Pacific Coast Express company, which
operates on the Tacoma Eastern Road
and Is owned by W. M. Ladd, C. E.
Ladd. Edward Cookingham, of Portland;
John Bagley, of Tacoma, and associates,

Income for the year $6050. From this $875
was paid for operating expenses and $3025
was paid the Tacoma Eastern, leaving
the net income nearly $2150. from which
a 38 per cent dividend on VxXpO stock was
paid, leaving a surplus of 1250.
The report of the Tacoma Eastern was
also filed today. It shows an income
from operations for the year of $105,00),
which, after paying interest and taxes,
left about 150.000 net income. Passenger
revenue was $57,000 and the freight reve
nue was $216,000. Operating expenses were
$179,000.
A remarkable double wedding has been
celebrated In a Viennese church. A manu
facturer named Mulier married a widow,
while at the same time his eon married the
widow's daughter. Thus the father be

and the mother also the mother-in-law of

"77"
Humphreys' Seventy
Seven Cures Grip and
COLPS
"Some one walked over my grave"
is a common remark that follows a
shudder. The shudder may be the
first sign of a Cold, and is caused by
the checked circulation of the blood.
The use of "Seventy-seven" restores
the circulation, starts the blood cours
ing through the veins and breaks up
the Cold.
"77" is for Grip, Golds, Influenza,
Catarrh, Pains and soreness in the
Head and Chest, Hoarseness, Sore
Throat and prevention of Pneumonia.
