THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 8, 19m. SEATTLE SCORES ; IN SIX MINUTES By Series of Trick Plays Mult nomah Men Are Swept Off Their Feet. RAIN MAKES SLOPPY FIELD Claud Kern's Tackling of Lunergan Sensation of Game Ball Twice ,.' WorUcd Close-'to Goal, but Se attle's I.tae Holds Firm.' SEATTLE. Wash.. .Dec. 7.-(Speclal.) The football team of the Seattle Athletlo Club, by playing a scientific mixture of o'.d and new football in the first six minutes of the game, defeated Multnomah yesterday at Dugdalea Park by a score of to 0. ' Thei team without a star, coached by JPom McDonald, a home product, knew, too much football for the giants from Portland and licked them right ofT the reel. The game was played during showers of rain and on a slippery field, but thero were bits of really high-class football scattered through the contest. With a" team of giants such as Rader, Dow, Walker and terrific, Ilnesmashers and swift runners like Lonergan, Multno mah twice forced Seattle back under its own coal posts, but the boys of the double-blue diamond held fast on the last smash each tlmo and took the ball.. A battering ram like Dow and Walker is hard to stop, but Brinker, Kern. Johnson sr Rohbins was -' under the " big ' fellow every time when danger .threatened, r Kern's Tnckle Sensational. The tackling was the best seen here this year: When Claud Kern left his feet and shot through the atr like a man tak ing a dive, and grabbed the flying Loner Ban Just below the knees, hq gave the crowd a glimpse of what real varsity tackling Is. It was one of the prettiest plays of the game, and as It took place In a scattered field, all had a chance to ee It. Lonergan is a very dangerous man returning- punts, for he is not only a fast runner, but he is 'hard to down after he is tackled, but he fell like a partridge filled' with shot when Kern grabbed him. On the first line-up, Multnomah was made the victim of what Is known as the "sneak" play. Captain Ike Dowd wandered off to one end. and when the hall was snapped, he darted forward. Dode Brinker shot the ball to him with a ;ong sweep of his arm. and the oval fell Into Ike's arms as truly as if a baseball ; 1 1. , i-nr... ' .11.- raptain, of the Oregon team last year, who Whs pressed Into service to help out Multnomah, was caught napping on the play that Brinker and Dowd worked, so smoothly. Multnomah Men Rattled-. Brinker bewildered the Multnomah men some more by leaning for an on sldo kick, that O'Brien got after a scramble. Those two plays pulled off like machine work, were good for SO yards and the Multnomah men were completely up' in the air. . After bucking- the line a few times to find out what kind of a defense Multnomah had, Brinker again used the forward pass, Johnson getting it this time after a long slide on his wish bone. That play brought the ball within striking distance, and after a fine buck, Brinker resorted to the for ward pass again. Captain Dow touched the ball and then dived under the grandstand after it. He came up with It like a spaniel with a stick In his mouth. . : Then every Seattle man charged like sprinters .getting off the mark, and in the center of the mix was Claud Kern with the ball. When the players were unwrapped, there was Kern lying with the ball under him. and fell oVer the line. Captain Dow laid flat on his . stomach in the mud and water, holding the ball while Kern booted it over the s bar for the only score of the game. BASEBALL. IS POPULAR IX XAVY -. Otto .

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 7. (Special.) A contract was signed today, under the terms of which Fred S. Norcross, Jr., is to coach the O. A. C. football team next year. The team, the student body, the faculty- and all others Interested are delighted with the arrangement. It is the opinion on the campus that there Is no coach in the West, or anywhere else, with greater powers in building up a powerful football machine. He has a deep knowledge of human nature, a profound knowledge of the game in Its every aspect, and is a wizard in the control of men. He is, withal, a gen tleman of high character, and a clean sportsman. His influence in advising and example in leading his men into examplary conduct is one of his noble traits. He has the perfect confidence of the faculty and is popular with every body. His success with the team here has been phenomenal. He arrived on the scene and, began work last year with a green bunch, not one of whom had ever been a regular first team man. Cherry alone had.. played In a part of two games. Some of the others had never played a game of football. In spite of the handicap. Mr. Norcross turned out a team whose goal line was not crossed in. 1906. The University of Washington was played a scoreless game on its own field. The University of Oregon was played a scoreless game. The only score against the team for the year was a place kick by Wil lamette University. The result Is counted "here as remarkable. . . His success with the team this year is too recent history to recount. No score was made against the acgrrega tion. . In spite of hard games played, the total scoring against the team in two years is four points. The result is due to the impassable defense that the Michigan star gives his men, and the fighting spirit that he infuses in them. Mr. Norcross left Corvallis today for Micmgan, where, after the holidays, he resumes his studies in the Michigan School of Mines, from which he will graduate next June. His standing there as a student is high, as it was at the University of Michigan, from which he was graduated in 1906. On the occasion of his departure to day. Coach Norcross was given an ova tion by the student body. OX THE MULTNOMAH ALLEYS Bowling Tournament Progresses and Some High Score's Made.

CANNON ANSWERS CRITIC Replies to Gompers, Affirming: Be lief in Union. ' WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. Speaker Can non today expressed bis sentiments to ward organized labor and Its leader, Samuel Gompers. with respect to the tat ter's campaign for his (the Speaker's) defeat, the occasion being a call on him by a committee of the local union of plate engravers. A set of resolutions commending the Speaker for his legislative work In be half of the plate worker was presented by the chairman of the delegation, Charles T. Smith. In reply. Speaker Can- KEN DCKY TOWN non, after expressing his gratification at the confidence conveyed, entered into an Informal discussion of "one-man political leadership" of organized labor. He said that while he bore no enmity to the pres ident of the American Federation of La bor, he did not believe that union men as American citizens would ever accept a dictatorship over their votes. He said that if he were a craft worker he would ally himself with a trade union, because unionism has been the vehicle of all progress toward better conditions for the wageearners; and while his fealty toward organized labor would not waver if he was affiliated with it, he. as an American citizen, would hold his fran chise above the right -of any leader to direct. , ... He paid a high compliment to the abil ity of Mr. Gompers as an organizer and expressed: himself as highly sensible of the work done by him within the func tions allotted to him as a labor leader and as the president of the American Federation in behalf of the working man and- the country. -Coincidcntly h made it plainly known that he for his part would pursue his own ideas in. legislative matters, irrespective of Mr. Gompers' opposition' lo some of them. He said he knew that in some things Mr. -Gompers misrepresented the .2,000.000 men composing the" organization which he leads. And that he (the. Speaker) had proved this by appealing to the people from Gompers arraignment of him. He said that in his latest re-election there was cast for him a larger union labor vote than ever before in his political life, and that he took this as' a decisive ver dict. . . .. . The chairman- of the delegation re marked that nothing In the resolutions or the visit fhould be construed as an act of disloyalty to the American Federation. Replying, Speaker Cannon said there could be no such misinterpretation of the motives. He had no thought of attack ing the Federation president, but he felt the occasion one for making his personal attitude clear. . POKES FUN AT EVEBYBODY GRIDIROX CLUB ENTERTAIXS LEADERS OF NATION.

The story that George Washington threw a dollar across the Potomac was iWlnrpd not to be a nature fake, because Secretary Cortejyou had thrown $20,000,000 tn Wall street. "Why are" the ships going to the Pa cific?" was answered m many ways, chief among which was to "see Secretary Metcalf in the Senate. The new State of Oklahoma made its appearance with Democratic Senators and Representatives and an electoral vote for Bryan; Chairman New.- of the Republican Na tional Committee, was required to "think It over." And then pranced in on hobby horses a squad of equestrian-tested Armv officers. - "We shall now drink to the President of the United States," solemnly an nounced President Blythe after he had got to their feet Vice-President Fair banks, , Speaker Cannon, Secretary Cor telyou and Senator Knox.

Webb McCaslin. alias George or William Webb, alias Webb McLaughlin, who mur dered E. F- Zaepell.-a . wealthy farmer. near Heppner, 'Or.-, the night of September 29, was arrested this evening In the rear of a feed store.

McCaslin denies having taken $200 from Zaspell's lifeless form. "Yes, I guess I will have trouble proving that I shot him in elf-de-fense," said McCaslin, "but I did, so help me, God. I was down Oregon way looking for work in the harvest fields In September. Thafs the way I earn my living-, doing odd Jobs. My home is right here in Spokane, and has been for years. Well, I happened into Heppner looking for a man of the name of Joe Kern, whom I used to know uj here, and who I thought could get me a job. Couldn't find Kern, and while I was inquiring for him at a stable, along comes this man Zaspell, whom 1 had never seen hide or hafr of before. He overhears me asking for work, and speaks up quick, saylnfr to me, Tf you are looking for work, I can get you a Job mighty quick out with a thresh ing machine gag on: in the country a-piece.' Well, the layout looks good to me and I told him 'all right.' "So I climbs up on the seat with him and we drove out into the country. I dis covered after we had driven several miles out, from a remar he let drop once in a while, that he was giving me a bum steer. So I told him I guessed I'd go back to Heppner and look for Kern. "Wtth that he turned on me and said: 'You , I don't believe you Intended to take that Job on the' machine in the first place. Then he grabbed me by the throat and was slowly choking me, when I got Into my hip pocket, where I carried a .38, and .when I got a clean sight of his head I let him have it. He keeled backward and dropped stone dead in the wagon box. 'Well, naturally I was feeling kind of uneasy myself just about then. I thought at first I'd drive him back to town and give myself up. So I turned the team around and drove toward Heppner. I lost my nerve by the time I got to the edge of the town, so I turns the team and wagon loose, mounts one of the' horses we. were leading, and rides off. - I headed for some other town near there. Can't think of the name of it, and beat my way to Spokane. "I've been working for the farmers out near Trent, and have been in and out of the city for several weeks past. I Just had to kill that fellow. He'd a strangled me If I hadn't." McCaslin was arrested on the description furnished by the handbills issued by the Morrow County authorities. Sheriff E. M. Shutt, of Morrow County, Oregon, in which the crime was committed, was no tified by wire this evening that McCaslin was under arrest and awaiting the for mer's pleasure. TRY TO CULL FISH OFF INTERESTS FEAR THE COXSE. QUEXCES OF IXJUXCTIOX. Ills Success Would Mean Breakup of Every Railroad Merger, In. eluding- His Own. NEW 'YORK, Dec 7. (Special.) Wall street and the railway world are begin ning to realize the true Import and the true significance of Stuyvesant Fish's at tack upon the legality of the ownership of Illinois Central stock by the Union Pacific Railroad and by the Railroad Se curities Company and, as a result, there is grave apprehension. It has recently developed that powerful influences on "the street' are at work trying to Induce or to force Mr. Fish to abandon his In junction suit entirely, because the rail road world and the financiers do not want to see at this time any issue In volving a question of public policy tried against the railroads. This does not mean an acknowledgment that the own ership of Illinois Central stock by the two corporations named is illegal or is contrary to public policy. The apprehension which is felt here will be better understood when it is stated that the issue in the Illinois Cen tral case Is purely one of jiublic policy and is not based -upon nor is It depend ent upon any statutory enactment. In the State of Illinois there Is no statute prohibiting one corporation from holding stock In another. It Is asserted by Mr. Fish, however, that there are important decisions to the effect that for one cor poration to be permitted to do so Is clearly contrary to public policy. The theory regarding this, if it be true. Is that such stock ownership-tends to cre ate a monopoly. Wall street has been casting up the accounts upon the hypothesis that Stuy vesant Fish will win his suit, and the result is- staggering. It is stated that even the- Illinois Central road would be disrupted, for It has nearly a score of subsidiary companies in which it owns stock. The alleged Inconsistency of Mr. Fish is said to be shown by the fact that the Missouri Pacific, of -which he is an Influential director, owns an enormous block of stock in the Wabash Railroad and IS controlled by the same interest that owns the Wabash.

The ordinary medical man really knows but little about cur ing the diseases peculiar to men. He merely has a general knowledge of such diseases, because his practice is spread out over the whole range of diseases to which flesh is heir. He therefore knows a little about all diseases and not a great deal about any.

Park such order, and the prosecutor imme diately asked the court to discharge Ncihart. THK MILLIONAIRE'S LAMENT. If I had time I should like to build A little house in a grove of oaks. And every day I would keep it tilled With nothing but folks If I had time. I would have young people, and old ones too, Handsome and homely, little and big. And not a thing would we ever do But Just dance and Jig If I had time. It should be against the rules to work. Or scowl or scold, advise or teach; Our duties we'd slight, our tasks we'd shirk. And nobody'd preach If I had time. We'd quit being diligent, prim and good. And laze around the livelong day; We'd scandalize the whole neighborhood. But we'd make life gay If I had time. But I haven't time to do anything Except to work, while the years flit by: I shall plod my stunt out round the ring. And then I shall die It I have time. C. H.
