' ' ' He Is Crying . Aloud. BY TV. J. PETRAIN. According to reports from Seattla, a number of towns are anxious to secure position In the Northwestern League. Out friends, P. Baxter and "S" Hushes assert that Everett, North Yakima or IValla Walla, not to mention Butte and Helena, are -anxious for franchises, and any one would be a better town than I'ortland. If one were really to take the asser tions of the Seattleites seriously, the conclusion arrived at would probably be that the Northwestern league will be willing- to entertain the highest bid for Portland's franchise on the same basis whereby Aberdeen gamely main tains her position in baseball that of putting up something like $10,000 as a guarantee that the other clubs will not lose money by playing there. If the McCredies would put up that much money on a similar basis, the North western League would chuck the whole bunch of ambitious towns in a hurry, but the McCredies won't. - and that causes Dugdale et al. to take a differ ent view of the situation. ft ' Dugdulc's Gutiio Fails. Correspondents all over the North western League seem to have but one Idea of the baseball situation, and that idea is the well-developed notion that Portland has thrown the Northwestern league down. Who inspired the notion Is not hard to guess, for the gentleman resides at Seattle, and came North re cently with the most roseate report of amicable relations with the Pacific Coast League, and that Portland would be allowed two clubs once more. Until the said party, no other than Dave Dugdale, tossed off the mask and gave out the statement that the Northwest ern League would drop Portland and seek another town, the McCredies fully Intended to finance the second club. In the face of the adverse criticism and unfair comment. Congressman McCredie finally announced that he would have nothing to do with the Northwestern ers, and Portland's fandom will uphold him in his stand. In the first place the continuous base ball idea is not likely to prove suc cessful, for the Northwestern League cannot put up the same article of base ball as does the Pacific Coast League, and Portland fans showed their prefer ence for the higher quality in a man ner that was unmistakable last sea son. Class will always tell, and last season was not the first time Port land displayed a preference for other than Northwestern League ball. Dug vhould recollect 1903, which was disas trous to every other club In that league but his, for his was practically the only club which remained at home and evaded the long jumps. ' Leave it to Dug to shy at a losing venture, which probably Influenced hint - to work egalnst Portland's being retained In I the Northwestern another season. Seultle Ignores One Fact. Today the Seattle scribes are howl ing about the mistake the Northwest ern League made by Invading Cali fornia, but they are remarkably quiet about Dugdale's hand in the failure of that circuit, which was brought about by his refusal to follow the schedule and take his. Seattle club to California. No wonder "Angel" Hart gave up the idea of being a "good thing" before the season was over. He Was game enough Pto take his clubs to Butte and Helena, but Dug balked at reciprocating with a trip to California. Portland asks nothing from either the Pacific Coast League or the North western but a square deal. Last year the Class B League treated Portland splendidly. The fans here have "no kick coming" about their treatment at the hands of President Lucas, for he presided over the circuit ably and well. The (withdrawal of Mr. Lucas from Portland, which will be necessary, now that there is to be no team In his league here, will bo regretted, and wherever he establishes his headquarters he will have the good wishes of the Portland fans. i Some day the baseball magnates of the entire pacific Coast will realize that the only logical baseball circuit is an eight-club league from Spokane to Los Angeles, and when they do, the little towns, game for baseball as they are, can form a circuit of their own in a lesser class league, which will not tax the pocketbooks of the fans for finan cial sustenance. McCredie; Gathers Forces. I Walter McCredie is preparing to an nounce his entire Squad of balltossers who will go to Fresno with him about the second week in February. As soon as the National Commission announces the list of major league play.ers on whom waivers have been asked and received. McCredie will be advised of the players he secures through trades or sales of players to the big league Clubs. Ed Chnppelle, the ex-Boston-Brook-lyu National League pitcher, is one of the big leaguers practically assured him, though the waivers will have to be forthcoming from all the National and American League teams before he can come to Portland, and it is not at all certain that they will be forthcom ing. President Ebbetts, of the Brook lyn Club, anticipates no trouble in con summating this deal, according to a letter received by McCredie recently. Another pitcher coming to Portland is "Red" Wright, the crack twirler of the Cleveland team, who formerly pitched for Oakland, and who is also" a fine batsman. The acquisition of vork" llarkness by Cleveland brings Wright to Portland It he Is waivered by the other clubs. m Celling Northwest Team. Manager McCredie also has deals on for the disposition of his Northwestern League players. Bill Chehault is to be retained by the Pacific Coast 'League club, but Fred Adams will likely be disposed of to p. Southern League club. He does not like the idea of going to the South, and McCredie may defer to his wishes and dispose of him to an " other club, either in the Western Lesgue or in the Northwestern. Billy Staton and Ed Plnnance have been sold to vfcc Bloomlngton club, of the Three Eye League, and others will toe disposed of In the very near future. NELSON WILL TRAIN Dane Taking No Chances for Fight With Wolgast. PUG NOT WORRIED, THOUGH FansiWonder How Mllwaukeean Can Withstand Battling's Fierce Fighting; When Memslc Gave Him All He Wanted. CHICAOO, Jan. 8. (Special.) Battling Nelson expects to have easy . picking when he meets Ad Wolgast in California on Washington's birthday, February 22. He is going to take no chances, however, and has already canceled his theatrical engagements, that he may begin training at once. Nelson never has worried about the match, but since reading reports of the Wolgast-Memsic affair at Los Angeles last night he has come to the conclusion that the Milwaukeean will be unable to make him any serious trouble in their 45 round encounter. Wolgast outpointed Memslc in ten rounds, all right, but did not escape punishment by any means. In fact, he had difficulty In holding hia op ponent on even terms until the ninth and tenth round?, when he pulled ahead. Fans are now wondering how Wolgast can stand up to the fierce rushing and punishing intlghting of the Done through a 45-round mill, when he practicaly fought himself out against t slow-moving fellow like Alemsic In ten rounds-: BEX TKEXKMAX BEST BOWLER He Leads Portland Heights Club.

If the President In his message strikes the Roosevelt key on the trust question, and asks extreme legislation of Congress, confidence will again be shaken and capital hunt a hid ing place. Now, why not wait and see what the President does? He has his own way of doing things.. There Is a Taft as well as a Roosevelt key. Before Congress met in extra session last Spring a small flurry was created by a story that the President had a tariff bill ready, that it provided for very low cuts all along, the line, and that he would force it through Congress by the power of his office. "This, or- nothing," he was expected to 8SV tO that bodv. "And it tha foa1t i nothing no bill I'U appeal to the coan- J "u ior a congress til at will sup port me in my position." vve all know how differently the Presi dent acted. He made his recommenda tion in general terms, and then awaited the action of ihA Un-moicsre v. . . ..... charg-ed with a duty as well as himself. He attempted no dictation, but conferred freely with everybody who called. No experienced person ever doubted that a compromise would be necessary and would result. When the time came the rresiaeni toon a nana at shaping the compromise, and it prevailed. All the shivering about what the President was to do to the Dingley bill had been un necessary. He had gone about matters in his own way, and had impressed his views on the legislation enacted. oo now aoout trust and changes in the interstate commerce law. The President, who is a lawyer of the first class, has been studvln? th nupsiinti -nrftn ti... of other lawyers of the first class, and, it raitvra, win maae recommendations to Congress on those subjects. But why assume that he is cni n er hoof drum and stir the country to the center aiter tne rasnion or bis predecessor? There, is no need of that. Properly, speak ing, the policies as respects control of trusts and of interstate commerce are not Eooseveltian. The anti-trust law Is 19 years old, and the interstate commerce law twenty-odd. Mr. Roose-elt empha sized their value, and did some good work with them. But Mr. Taft's prob lem is his own, and we may expect him to meet it in hiswn way. He can, and should, hold theTtsusts down without throwing the country' 1 rite, a fit. Happy. Housekeeping In 1909. Nautilus. So many houses in the world but so few homes!

CMemlm or neglsct of parents- Morgan Watson, or liugeiie, to Man age Football Team for State Uni versity Past Football Season Poor Financially fop School. UNIVERSITY . OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. S (Special.) There will be no Rugby football at the University of Oregon next year. This was the unanimous decision of the university athletic council, com posed of faculty, student and alumni members, after hearing the report of Trainer "Bill" Hayward, who was sent to Vancouver, B. C, during the holidays to investigate Rugby,-at a special meet ing" today. Members of the council, which controls athletics at. the State University, stood fast for the present college game, and it will continue to' be played hero next season and probably for many seasons to come. In more than 12 years of this game at Oregon, there has never been a single serious injury. In striking contrast to this was the fact that one Rugby player received a fractured skull from which he was unconscious nearly 24 hours and had to submit to an operation to save hie life, while another had his hand broken, in the three games witnessed at Van couver by Hayward. This cold reception for Rugby football and the unanimous decision of the ath letic council for the old game is a sharp slap on the wrist for President David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University. Ever . inoe Stanford and California adopted the English game four years ago, Jordan has been trying to get the north ern colleges to fall Into line. It wag his urgency at the end of this football sea son that led the Oregon faculty to send Hayward to British Columbia for the purpose of making a thorough investiga tion. It is not likely, however, that Rugby will ever again receive serious consideration here. In his report to the council, which was substantially the same as appeared in his Interview in The Oregonian Thursday, Hayward declared Rugbj was far rougher and more dangerous than American college football. He .went into , detail in describing the particular features of the game in which the dan ger lay. After he had concluded there was only the one opinion that Rugby will not do. Oregon will Join with Whitman and Oregon Agricultural College in calling for a special meeting of the Northwest Conference, composed of the above col leges and the Universities of "Washing ton and Idaho and the Washington State College. The meeting will be called by Secretary Qeorge Hug for some time within the' next two weeks and will be held in Portland. One of the Important matters that will probably be brought up at this conference meeting is the adoDtion of a "fiig Six" agreement for an annual track meet between the, six colleges concerned, such a meet has never been held in the Northwest, and it .19 con sidered that the time is now ripe for it. Portland and. Seattle are the cities that will be considered for the "Big Six" meet; it is likely that it will alter nate between them. , Another matter that the conference will act upon is the naming of offi cials for all conference games. During the past football season in particular some of the umpiring was very unsat- lsiactory. it is aesirea to have the conference select competent men, by whom all the officiating at conference games shall be performed, at the be ginning of each football and baseball season hereafter. Morgan Watson, a member of the class of 1911, will be Oregon's next football manager. Watson, who was assistant manager this season, was elected to the managership in recogni tion of his good work as assistant. He is a Eugene boy and is quite prominent in several student activities. v Oregon came out almost exactly even on the football season which just closed. The season was an unusually poor one financially, owing largely to the fact that the Oregon-O. A. C. game and the Oregon-Multnomah game were not played in Portland. BILLIARD TOCKXET NEARS EXD Pool Preliminaries Also Engage At tention of Club Enthusiasts. The finals in the handicap billiard tournament being nlaved at Mult nomah Club and the preliminaries of a pool tournament are also under way. In conducting - both of these tourneys Professor Devereaux has his hands f ulL The handicap billiard tournament is well along and the class winners will be decided the early part of this week, after which they will be handicapped for the finals. The players are divided into seven -classes, the first class players having 125 points and the seventh class entries 40. Two players, R. Knight and Ed Morris, In the fourth class, tied for first place. and on the play-off Morris won by a narrow margin. Tom Cleland and Bert Whiting also tied in the fifth class and Whiting won in the play-off. One of the closest matches was that between T. Morris Dunne and Henry Jennings, in which Dunne was the victor by one point, the score being 70-69. The pool tournament entry list contains the names of some of the best players in the club.,- Interesting matches are expected In the preliminaries this week. Although three-cushion billiards, which is popular at other clubs In the city, has few followers at the Multnomah Club, there is more interest in the game among the clubmen than formerly. The game is considered one of the most interesting for spectators, as well as players.

WIFE HIRES HER 'S SON Servant Taken Into French Household Is Lost Offspring. FATHER QUESTIONS LAD When Proof Is Positive Early Love Story Is Told and Boy Joyously Sheds Servant's Clothes for School Uniform. PARIS, Jan. 8. (Special.) When the mistress of a wealthy house in the quar ter of the Champs Ely sees hired a servant-boy the other day, she was far from thinking that she was taking a lost son of her husband into her service. . The lad, who had. been recommended by an employment agency, looked healthy and chubby with his red cheeks, and was fresh from the country. "You will suit," said the mistress of the house, who or dered a nice livery for him with metal buttons and braid. The boy had been warmly recommend ed by his foster parents in the country, who had brought him up, and who were very anxious that he should be well treated. He was such a good boy, they wrote 4n a letter, and they would always consider him as their own child. The mistress of the house told her hus band about the boy in the evening, and how pleased, she was with him; but when she mentioned his name her hus band became absorbed in deep thought, "When still very young he had had a love affair with a. pretty midinette, whom he had even -hoped to marry, but- his par ents objected. A boy was born, and for seven years he paid for his maintenance, in the country. The mother then died and he lost trace)of the boy, and as time went by and he married he forgot the lad altogether. The new servant boy's name, however, brought back old memories to him. He quietly stole to the kitchen and questioned trie boy: "What was yourV ather's name?" "I never knew him," answered the boy. "The name I bear is my mother's. , "Who brought you up?" said the father. "Good people in the country, who are my foster-parents. There was no doubt left. The boy had been reared by the very people to whom the father had regularly paid the monthly sum. for seven years, and ' his mother's name revealed the rest. "If I told you that you were my son, you would not believe me!" he said to the astonished lad, as he took him into his arms and kissed him. There was a short conversation between husband and wfe, and a few minutes later the boy was sunmoned to the par lor, where the mistress of the house? also received him with open arms, and told him that hereafter he would also be her son. The order 'for the servant's livery was canceled, and instead a college boy's uniform was given, which the boy is now wearing; and instead of running on mes sages he is one of the pupils at a lycee.

WIRJELESS AROUND THE WORLD Tesla at Work on a New System of . Telegraph and Telephone. New York American. Nikola Tesla has been conducting ex periments at Shoreham, Long Island, which have practically perfected a new system of wireless telegraphy and tele phony. It differs from the present "wire less" in that it utilizes as a transmitting agency, not the waves of the air, but the Inherent conductivity of the earth itself. Space, time and the elements it almost utterly disregards. By this system, Mr. Tesla declared yes terday, it takes, as demonstrated by his experiments, only a fraction of a second to pass a communication entirely around the earth. It makes this planet "behave like a bit of wire," without disturbance to people, or to buildings, mines or other man-made structures. Most wonderful are his assertions that distance is no obstacle, as in air wire less; that any number of receiving stations- may be used, and that not only will messages across and around the world become incredibly cheap, but that any man, anywhere in the world, may, by placing to his ear a receiver purchased for a dollar or two, hear the opera In paris, or Melbourne, or Vienna, or New York, n Seeking details, a reporter for the American by questioning obtained from Mr. Tesla the following statement: "My plant at Shoreham is simply an improvement on my experimental wire less station which I erected in Colorado, and at which I have carried on practical experiments in wireless transmission of energy for over one year. The chief ob ject of the installation is to effect a wire less telephonic communication all the world ' over without any change in the existing telegraph and telephone ex changes. X "This is to be only one of a number of such plants intended to carry out my world system' of wireless telegraphy and telephony, by means of which it will be possible to increase the working ca pacity both of ordinary and wireless plants by placing them in instantaneous communication entirely regardless of dis tance. "The principles Involved in this system of transmission are the direct opposite of the Hertz wave wireless transmission. Irf the latter, the transmission is effected by rays akin to light which pass through the ' air and cannot be transmitted through the ground. In the former, the Hertz waves are practically suppressed, and the entire energy of the current is transmitted through the ground, exactly as through a big wire." ' The Czarina's Kitchen. Indianapolis News. The Empress of Russia, like her hus band, Nicholas II, has, it is said, simple tastes, but she prides herself on having the finest kitchen among all the sover eigns of Europe. The cuisine is French in all its details and more than one French Vatel has made a fortune out of it. At present there are two chefs who are treated with as much consideration (perhaps more) as the Czar's Ministers. Under the orders of these chefs there are 42 auxiliaries with 20 assistants and as many waiters. .The butlers are person ages of high importance. In the imperial cellars there are 25,000 dozens of the- best brands of wines, all duly labeled and catalogued. The imperial cuisine costs an immense sum and yet these two sovereigns are very temperate persons. The Czar per mits himself to drink only one glass of Bordeaux and .rarely a glass of cham pagne. But no such limitations are placed upon his guests and the Czarina delights in display at the table. The craze for roller skating which has been revived in the United States within the last few years has spread to other countries, and the introduction of the American skate into foreign markets offers a widenln field to manufacturers.

The death early to day of Francisco di Paola Satolll, bishop of Frascati, archprtest of the Lateral! Arch-Basilica and prefect of the Congregation of Studies, followed an illness that began last June with an attack of nephritis and atrophy of the right lung and was complicated re cently with bloodpoisoning. Cardinal Satolll was of Italian birth and was born at Marciamo, July 21, 1839. His family was a notable - one. He was created a cardinal in 1895. Almost to the hour of his death, the cardinal discussed with the few who were permitted to see him, the affairs of the church in the United States, in which country he had a profound in terest. He was the first apostolic dele gate from the Vatican to the United States in the Fall of 1892. To a friend from America, he said: "Remember me to FresidentTaft and tell him that I hope the day will come when the United States and Italy will be allied, Italy then being a republic."
