BIGGEST LIARS INVITED
TO BEAT THIS ONE

fish story is Igenerally handed the
palm around Monteray Bay this sea

fishing with Wllllnm Johnson as a
guide.
Winters baited with a sardine, and
caught a blue-fish. Before he could
net his catch, he said, a bonita swal
lowed the lilue-fish. Then a cod gulp
ed down the Iwiiita, and a small-sized
shark started after the cod.
Winters thought he saw a whale
after the shark, so he pulled In his

ROSEBURG DEFEATS
Topnotchers of League Are
Walloped By the Mighty
Umpqua Warriors.
FINISH WAS THRILLING
With Score Tletk 0 to 0 In Ninth,
KusehurK Player Hits, Steals Sec.
ond and Third and Scores,
Winning for Locals. '
The Roseburg baseball team yester
day defeated the Ilarrlsliurg team,
the top-notchers of the Willamette
Valley league, by a score of 7 to fi.
The score was tied 6 to 6 In the first
half of the ninth inning, and in a
sensational finish, which swept the
fans and Harrisburg players off their
feet, the Koseburg warriors succeed
ed in scoring a run, and the game
ended victoriously for the home team.
It was undoubtedly the finest ex
hibition of baseball ever staged In
Roseburg, and the large crowd re
ceived thrill after thrill in every inn
ing of the hot contest.
Koseburg used two pitchers as did
Harrisburg. Taggart started the
game and was replaced later by
Street. When Taggart stepped out of
tne box he was ahead of the game,
the score being 5 to 3. He pitched
big league baseball and had the visi
tors worried. To change the pace
and make it even harder for the Har
risburg aggregation, the manager
placed Street in the box. Street Is
also a real pitcher and hurled his
finest yesterday. In the eighth inn
ing with Roseburg ahead 6 to 3, the
visitors staged a rally and tied the
score. In the ninth the Roseburg
hoys held them down and kept them
from scoring, but when the locals
picked up the slab In the last half
of the ninth the fireworks started.
Booth singled, stole second and third,
and raced home on a hit by Bates,
Bill Reibel, one of the members of
Roseburg's "million-dollar outfield,"
caught three line drives in one Inn
ing, all difficult catches. He was
cheered to an echo for his fine work.
Holmqulst and Booth also nailed
line drives and played errorless ball.
Devlne, Roseburg's catcher, was in
the game from start to finish, play
ing A-l baseball. His peg to second
was straight as an arrow and had
the effect of making the runners
stay close to first base.
Bates on first, Walsh on second
Kelly on short, and Larson on third,
wre on their toes all the time, field
ing the Infield hits with wonderful
ability.
It is too bad that the season is so
near an end. Roseburg Is Just be
ginning to get a real ball team, and
with the present line-up could have
cinched the pennant with no trouble.
Harrisburg hated to lose yester
day's contest. The winning of it
would have meant the pennant and
the cash bonus for them, but as it Is,
they will be forced to play It oft wltt.
Eugene.
Roseburg plays Sutherlln here next
Sunday, and another good game will
be the result.
SECOND JOHNSTOWN FLOOD
OF BIER HAS BEEN DAMMED
F
s By United Pres.) e
JOHNSTOWN. Pa, Aug. 21.
The second Johnstown flood was
dammed today, and the lid was
on tight again.
Mayor Caufflel today admitted ,
that his proclamation that real
beer could be sold was a ruse to al
show the lack of prohibition en-
forcement in the town and to ef-
feet a replecement of the old pro-
e hibition enforcement force with a
new personnel. The scheme was
a success and new agents had
the situation In band today.

Speakers Representing Shop
men Present Forceful
Arguments on Strike.
FIGHT IS EXPLAINED
Clear and Concise Statement of Exist
ing Difficulties Between Employ,
ere and Employes Given
by Eloquent Speakers.
A fine attendance on Saturday
night greeted Walter Nash and C. V.
Grow, of the Railroad Machinists'
union, who spoke at the public mass
meeting called by the local railroad
shopmen. The meeting was in the
Majestic theater, which was filled to
capacity by people eager to hear the
facts regardlug the strike from the,
standpoint of tho laboring men.
Much has been said on both sides
and to tho ordinary person It is a
difficult matter to select real facts
from propaganda, but those who at
tended the meeting Saturday night
have a much clearer Idea of just
what all the trouble is about, and are
in more thorough understanding and
sympathy with the men who are strik
ing to hold and maintain the advan
tages which they have gained only
after years of struggle, and which
they now refuse to release at the ex
pense of comfort and happiness to
themselves and families.
The speakers revlowed the condi
tions as they have existed for many
years. The situation not only con
cerns the railroads, but every other
line of Industry as well, it was stated.
The speakers discussed the labor sit
uation and the changes and gains
from a point many years ago until
tne present time.
They went on to show that the a-
boring men, farmers and business
men are all relatively in the same po
sition, and that at the present time
the lalmrlng men seem to be the only
ones putting forth any effort to curb
the reactionaries in Wall Street.
They brought out the statement
Hi nt all Street Is like a big octopus,
taking In all classes and endeavoring
to gain control of all Industries and
business. Turning everything to their
own advantage and gain. As a result
they are creating one vast monopoly,
the purpose of which is to enrich
Wall Street, and that competition in
all lines of Industry is rapidly dis
appearing. This enrichment of cap!
tal's monopoly is being made at the
expense of the laboring classes, the
farmers and business men, who are
being oppressed and deflated, to swell
the profits of capital.
The speakers had statistics taken
from railroad reports and govern
ment bureau reports which were used
very effectively In backing up the
various arguments presented.
They took a hard rap at "scab" la
bor and In many Instances claimed
that foreigners are showing more
spirit and Interest In tho fight for
the ideals of tho laborers, than are
"Americans themselves.

In town for several hours today.

International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 21. Antagonism
toward United States Senator "Jim"
Reed, foe of Wood row Wilson, with
in his own party In Missouri appar
ently is gradually dissipating.
Anti-Reed democrats were numer
ous and open In their denouncement
of his renomlnation in the recent pri
mary until the statement by Breckin
ridge Ixing. the defeated candidate
on the democratic ticket, that he was
willing to abide by the official an
nouncement of the voters' decision.
Until that time talk of contesting
he nomination of the senator was
heard on all Bides, but through It all
Reed's opponent remained silent.
Some of Long's friends were attempt
ing to persuade him to run as an In
dependent candidate, but he finally
came out and officially announced
his refusal to the people of Missouri
in words amounting to "Thy will be
done."
"Cholco of the People.'!
He declared, however, that he be
lieved himself to be the choice of the
democrats in this state and that If
4he voting had been confined strictly
to the nartles he would have been the
nominee for the senate to run against'
II. R. Brewster, of Kansas City, next
fall.
Long, In his statement declining to
run independently estimated tho re
publican vote in the primary at be
tween 40,000 and 50,000 and that
this decided (he democratic nomina
tion in Reed'r favor.
"It was unethical. Illegal and
wrongful for them (republicans) to
vote in our primary, but owing to a
defective primary law there is 'no
remedy," Long summed up his view
of the situation.
Some of the bitter anti-Reed dem
ci'tats, who probably will cast their
votes against the Benator In the elec
tion, have been planning to enter a
v-oman as a third candidate next
fall, but the movement has not galnni
any recognized strength In the state,
nor has It the backing of any nf
Long's staunchest leaders. Mrs. W.
W. Martin, of Fayette, Missouri, is
being talked of as the candidate lo be
supported by the antls, but the move
ment Is still in the shaping stage.
Oppose Woman Candidate.
The old "dyed-ln-the-wool" demo
crats naturally are not favoring any
such policy, and a far different atti
tude is being assumed In many places.
These democrats are appealing to the
party for a united voto to re-elect the
nominee named In the primary.
At Marshall. Missouri, a "Reed-for-Presldent"
club has been formed,
with an Initial membership In that
community of 2400, which reflects
the attitude of the staunch support
ers In other parts of the stale, also.
Reed Is working for a united demo
cratic party in Missouri and hopes to
carry away a victory In Missouri next
November. In a statement befoM re
turning lo Washington, Reed thanked
Ms friends for their primary support
and predicted victory for the parly

At Washington Reed's friends are
offering to come to this state and
take the "stump" to re-elect Mm to
the senate. He was welcomed back:
to the Capitol warmly by his col
leagues and Immediately the bun of
a boom for president was started.
While possibly a little early to be
discussed seriously his political
friends in this state nevertheless are.
laying the foundation for building
support for his presidential candid
acy. At present, however, their atten
tion Is directed to next November'
election, when the nation will watch
with deep Interest an exciting con
test. Ills opponent, R. R. Brewster, is an
'old guard" republican and 3howed
in the primary to have a powerful
barking throughout the state. His
poor showing in the city of St. Louis
was assigned to the fart that the,
"wet" issue which his nearest op
ponent favored met with the approv
al of republicans in this city.
However, with the "wet" Issue dl.
carded In the election and the repub-'
llcan voters duty-bound to support
4heir party candidate, the contest
will be sharply fought and the result
anxiously awaited.
