ment of policeman by tfie Mayor It
would have bocome A permanent of

half mill eai'h year. In the mean
time the Mayor has the power to ap
point a man, and tbe .-ouncllnien
are willing until that lime to pay hla
alary until the matter will be taken
up at the December election. The
councllmen think so long aa the peo
ple have to pay the taiee they have
a right lo have aay In the matter.
Councilman llolman said Wednes
day that he oppoaed th appointment
of a policeman fur the bill taction be
cause he was convinced tnst a ma
jority of the residents of that district
did not fever It. He said the terri
tory wss to large for one man to

PRICE BROS. GIVEN
BASEBALL DECISION
Joseph E. Hedges and O. D. Eby,
of tbe Athletic Committee of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua As
sembly, Wednesday decided that tbe
Price Bros.' team won the champion
ship In tbe series at the Chautauqua,
recently held at Gladstone Park. The
Dilworth Derbies, of Portland, pro
tested the last and deciding game, al
leging that Berger, who pitched for
Price Bros, wss ft professional snd
had played 4Hh teams In tbe Coast
and. North wfteoara. leagues... The de
cision In favor of the Oregon City
team wss made reluctantly. The let
ter of tbe committee to tbe assembly
clones aa follows:
"Mr. Berger, we find, was very su
perior to th ' pitcher for whom he
was substituted, and : had been tried
out by Mr. "IcCredle for one of bis
teams, but found not qualified for tbe
position. J "
"Under the contract for this club
with the Chautauqua Assembly, which
contract wis like that of every other
club with the. association and waa
therefore known to the other club,
Oregon City had ft light to substi
tute Mr. BerRer for the disabled pitch
er by the strict letter of the contract
For which reason, tbe protest is dis
allowed, but we are constrained to
state (hat In view of the fact that
these two teams were equally suc
cessful up to the time of this game,
that the championship of the season
depended upon It, and that a pitcher
was obtained who waa next to a pro
fessional, the action of the Price
Bros, team substituting this superior
pitcher should be condemned and
such contract made hereafter with
the baseball teams as to make such
action Impossible."
The Oregon City team was awarded
the purse offered by the assembly.

MRS. FRIEL'S BODY
IS NOT EXHUMED
CORONER OF MULTNOMAH COUN
TY NOT INTERESTED
IN CASE.
ACED RANCHER STILL KELPS WATCH
Wilson Declares He Will Not Mak
Investigation Until Evidence
Supporting Charge Is
Produced.
No effort has been made to ex
hume the body of Mrs. John T. Friel,
wlf of tbe aged Cherryvllle rancher,
despite the fact that John T. Friel,
Jr., told Deputy Sheriff Mile the dis
interment would take place Wednes
day. Mr. Friel said that Coroner Nor
den, of Multnomah county, had been
enr&eed to remove tbe body and have
an analysis of the tissues made, bu
representatlves of that official have
denied that he will do any such thing.
Mr. Norden, of course, has no Juris
diction in this county, and the re
moval of the body by him or anyone
employed by the children of the eld
er Mr. Friel would be In contempt
of cou.L Judge Campbell has Issued
an order restraining anyone except
the authorities of this county from ex-
humlng tbe body.
Coroner Wilson declared Wednes
day that he would have the body dls-
intered If any evidence of foul play
was shown. He said that the county
would not go to the expense of ex
humation and having an examination
made unless there was something
tangible to work upon.
"Not the slightest evidence has
been submitted showing that Mrs.
Friel did not die from natural causes,"
said the coroner. "It is ridiculous to
think that I would put tbe county to
a big expense In case of -this kind
unless there was at least some rea
son to believe that a crime bad been
committed. Of course If evidence of
a suspicious nature Is produced I
shall gladly have the body taken from
the grave and ft thorough analysis of
the tissues made. There must be
some evidence of crime before I can
consent to make a costly investiga
tion." .
Information was received Wednes
day night from Cherryvllle that the
elder Friel was still guarding the
grave of his first wife despite the re
straining order granted by Judge
Campbell against several of his chil
dren. The second Mr. Friel. who
was the nurse of the woman who
died, at"! insists that tbe body be
exhumed and a complete investiga
tion made for her benefit She and
her husband want the county authori
ties to superintend the work, but
have . so . far refused to defray tbe
expense.
