Before a crowd of 10.000 people, the largest that ever saw a football game In the Pacific Northwest. the Uni versity of Orecon eleven demonstrated Its superiority over the Oregon Agri cultural College team on Multnomah Field yesterday afternoon. The final score waa 8 to 0. made possible throuch the accuracy and power of the trusty rlKht foot of Captain- Fred 3Joullen. of the Eug-ne team. The Oregon captain kicked two goals from placement In the first half of the most magnificent football strugglo ever seen In Portland, and thereby brought toy supreme to the wildly cheering and voclferoufly enthusiastic rooters of the 1'nlverslty of Oregon, for the varsity team had been rated as second choice, and odds of 2 and J to 1 had been of fered against its chances of defeating the O. A. C. team. Oregon tirll Again Counts. The University of Oregon's splendid grit. pro-en time after time In the past, came to the front. After gaining the ascendancy In the first half the lads from Eugene never let go th-lr advan tage, and with Dudley Clark perform ing grandly at kicking. O. A. C. came no closer to scoring on the football ma chine developed by Robert V. Forbes, of Yale, than to try two goals from the 40-yard line. It was without question the finest football event Portland ever saw. The spectacular effect of the various clubs In the rooters sections of the hand some and spacious new Multnomah Club grandstand, as well as the splen did and unique drill given by the Ore gon Agricultural College Cadets on the field before the game, were sights that have never been surpassed on any football field in the country. Crowd Breaks All Kevords. Fully li).00 persons were crowded Into the Multnomah amphitheater, and It is estimated that over 5000 more saw the Kame. or portions of it. from the hillside on the south, the roofs of nearby buildings and the Multnomah Club verandas. These latter. how ever, paid for the privilege, while the others were gratuitous, though much interested spectators. While the result was a surprise, in manner, it simply demonstrates that the undying; spirit so prevalent at the University of Oregon, is capable of vying: with the best football machine the Oregon Agricultural College ever produced. Although the game at all stages pre- (Oonelurtert on Page to. , ......... . I 4$ W -s it Treaty Between . Mikado's Conntry and Great Britain Counts for Naught, He Declares. OTTAWA, Ont., Nor. SI. (Special.) "There Is no law for the white man in Japan. The treaty made between Japan and Great Britain counts for practically nothing; since the time of the school trouble in San Francisco." This strong; and amazing statement was made by an ex-offlcer of the Brit ish royal navy, who has. been em ployed for some years as a civil engi neer by the Japanese government ar.c." who has just passed through this clty on his way home to England. The information which this gentle man has to give with regard to the In dignities and Inconveniences that he says are heaped upon white men in the Mikado's kingdom should prove a surprise to those who have been ac customed, of late years at least, to re gard the Japanese people as being pos sessed of most friendly feelings toward the people of Great Britain. Accord ing to the information he is able to furnish at first hand, no white man is at all safe in the ownership of any property in Japan unleus he becomes a naturalized citizen of that country.

VAGUE ALLUSION TO CRISIS Striking Proof of Submission I to Popular Will. GERMAN PRESS SATISFIED Thankful for Resolve to Bridle Im perial Tongue Kaiser Declares No Cloud Shall Come Between Him and His People. BERLIN. Nov. 21. Emperor 'William made his first appearance In- public to day since his Interview with Chancellor von Buelow, last Tuesday, when the Prince urged upon his majesty the ne cessity of speaking and acting only on the advice of his responsible ministers, and he gave a striking example of his readiness to observe the obligation then laid upon him. The occasion was the centennial cel ebration of the City Council. When the Emperor arose to ascend the tribune. Prince von Buelow stepped forward and Impressively handed him a printed sheet, and the Emperor, Ig noring his custom of speaking extem poraneously, confined his remarks to what was on this paper. No Cloud Between Them. After a few formal expressions, his majesty made the following references to recent occurrences: I chtrlsh a firm confidence that the bond of loyally and aifertlon which, from aneU'nt times In our fatherland, has so . closely Joined the King and cltisena, the Prince and lh people, always will remain unbroken. IT. accordh-g to the words of the Prussian National Hymn, "the sun cannot always shine and dull days mint occur." then the rising clouds should never throw thoir shadow between me and my people. Says Press Is Satisfied. The Nord Deutsche Zeitnng, refer ring to the Emperor's declaration to Prince von Buelow on the occasion of the interview this week, says the Ger man press has almost unanimously ex pressed sincere satisfaction therewith. An overwhelming majority of the Ger man nation feels , deeply thankful for the Emperor's highminded resolve in the matter of his Imperial duties, as set forth in the Reichsanzeiger. it continues: The nation possesses a guarantee of the continuance of that confidence between the crown and the people which In the past has given rise to such solendid achievements. Ills majesty's resolve appears the more high minded, because it was taken in s?ite of the undeniable exaggerations of the public criticism, which the Emperor must have felt was unjustified.

Dr. Hale this morning issued the fol lowing statement: "I repudiate absolutely the story which the New York World this morn ing published purporting to tell what passed at my audience -with the Ger man Emperor.

Mother's Suit to Recover Boy Re veals Fact That His Father Is Wealthy Missouri Merchant. BELLINGHAM. Wash., Nov. 21. (Spe cial.) That he will, on the death of his foster-father, A. W. Demlng, and his father, William Barnes, become heir to a fortune aggregating in amount $700, 000. is the probable future of William Arthur Deming, a 13-ycar-old boy, a foundling and the adopted son of Doming.

THE HUMOROUS PHASES OF SOME OF THE WEEK'S EVENTS s Hoidr! Little Man!" Strange Story of Old Man's Remorse. RICH AMENDS MADE TO WOMAN Theodore Bunnell's Romance Revealed at Death. SHE CONTESTS FOR ESTATE Founder of Grand Junction Gives Many Xotes to Woman on Whom He Attempted Assault in Girlhood. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov 21. A suit filed today in the United States Circuit Court by Mrs. Melissa Z. Funk, of At tica, Ind., to collect $20,000 worth of notes from the $200,000 estate of Theo dore P. Bunnell, late founder of Grand Junction, Colo., and capitalist of Santa Monica, Cal., reveals one of the most remarkable stories ever recorded in the annals of the Western courts. By means of letters and promissory notes alleged to have been signed by Bunnell, which were filed today in court, it is shown that Bunnell when a young man in Indiana 50 years ago made an assault and attempted mis treatment of Mrs. Funk, who was then Miss Melissa Zink, a lass of 13 years, falling in which he was stricken with remorse, which first forced him to leave the country and throughout the remainder of his life compelled him to do penance for his act During the en suing years he wrote many letters to Miss Zlnk begging forgiveness, and sent her numerous promissory notes, payable from his estate, as a palliation for the injury he had done her. These notes are made out in unusual form, showing the stricken 'conscience from which the writer suffered. Xo He'rs. Claim Rejected. Bunnell, who had been a resident of Santa Monica, a seaside resort of Los Angeles, for many years, died at the age of- 75, a year ago, in Colorado Springs, his body remaining unclaimed in that city for some days. He left no heirs, his wife having died two years previous to his own demise. His body was finally returned here and interred in Woodlawn cemetery. George H. Hutton, of California, and William A. Marsh, of Colorado Springs, are the executors of the estate, which is lo cated In California and In Colorado Springs and Grand Junction. The exe cutors have refused to allow the claims of Mrs. Funk, and the suit filed today is the result. Xote Confesses Crime. The first note is dated April 26, I860, and with its accompanying statement reveals the very heart of the whole story. It is in this language: Rob Roy. Ind.. April 20. 1800. I promise to pay Melissa Zink or order. $.W00 for the damage I did her In 18r, and for the love and gratitude I bear to her I pledge my estate and all 1 am worth with the payment of this note after my death, by the person that settles my estate, without coet to the hearer. THEODORE BUNNELL. My explanation no one will misconstrue and blame Miss Zink. She is the most vir tuous Kirl I ever knew. I love her with a pure divine love; -would marry her if she would marry me. I went to her home in a. storms found her alone, so thought I would . . -I assaulted her after a desperate fight between us. She was badly hurt. I gave up when she got an axe. She was only 13 or 14 years old at that time. I begged forgiveness. She may tell the rest. She never lie. THEODORE BUNNELL. Wealth Does Xot Ease Conscience. A few years" later Bunnell came West and lived the life of a plainsman, hunting buffalo and conducting a trad ing store among the Indians. He ob tained control of a large tract of land and founded Grand Junction The win ning of wealth did not, however, oblit erate the thought of the misdeed which rested upon his mind. Letters begging forgiveness were sent continuously to Miss Zink One of them, dated 1870. (Concluded on Page 2.) Kothlns to Be Thankful For. Fully 12.000 Men Will Enjoy Real Christmas Again After Long . Siiut-tiown at Mills. CHICAGO, Nov. 21. (Special.) AH is joy in South Chicago. The army of workers In the big mills of the Illinois Steel Company is to have a real Christ mas this year. The exuberant and unrestrained glee and thankfulness , were caused by an announcement today by officials of the company, which employs a large ma jority of the inhabitants of the town, that the shops would be running in full force by December 1. By that time it Is expected 12,000 men will be working in many departments of the Immense plant. About half of the workers In the milis have been unemployed for more than a year, since many of the depart ments shut down on account of scarcity of orders for- steel rails and other products of the company. Many of the others employed since a partial re-opening last Summer have been working on a short schedule. The re-employment of thousands of men means much also to the merchants of the suburb. TRAIN HAS CLOSE CALL Flames Were Eating Up Timber When Officers Arrived. SAN BERNADINO, Cal., Nov. 21. (Special.) Charles Reatz and A. B. Parker, under suspicion of firing a Southern Pacific trestle, a mile and a quarter east of Banning, were landed in the County Jail tonight for safe keeping by a Deputy Sheriff, after con fessing they had left the bridge two hours before the fire was discovered. When the officer arrived at the struc ture the flames from trie big pile of ties beneath it were curling about the bridge timbers. The trestle spans a gulch on the steepest . part of the Banning grade. An hour after the fire was discovered a heavily loaded overland was due, and could hardly have been cheeked on the grade before the ridge was reached. The officer says by that time the flames would have destroyed the struc ture. APPLE FAIR IS POSTPONED i . Vamhill Growers Prefer to Make a Better Display in Portland. M'MINNVILLE, Or., Nov 21. (Spe cial.) The proposed apple fair for Yamhill County, that was to have been held here on November 27 and 28, was today called off by the committees in charge. The reasons given for the abandonment of the enterprise are that it is impossible to interest a suf ficient number of the leading horti culturists to bring exhibits on ac count of Its close proximity to the state horticultural exhibit, to be held in Portland the following week. Desiring to make a good showing at Portland, they must, of necessity, neg lect the local display, and rather than take the chances of an inferior ex hibit here, the committee decided to wait until next year and give an apple fair worthy of Old Yamhill.
