PANIC WITH MILLIONS
NEW YORK June 13. Some here
tofore unwritten history of how J. P.
Morgan helped stem the panic of 1907
by supplying $25,000,000 at a crucial
time was dramatically told on the
witness stand yesterday by R. H.
Thomas," president of the stock ex
change at that time, testifying before
the House Pujo commission investi
gating the so-called money trust.
Mr. Thomas said that on October
24, 1907, 60 per cent was being offer
ed for call money and none was
available. He went to James Still
man, -then president of the National
City Bank, and asked him for relief
if possible. He told the banker that
25,000,000 was needed, he said. Still
man sent him to Morgan, saying that
he would tell Morgan he was coming.
"When I got to Mr. Morgan's office
there was great excitement," said the
witness. "Mr. Morgan was in a con
ference, and people were going in and
out. I waited for him 20 minutes. He
came out of his private office and said
to me: 'We are going to lend you
$25,000,000. Go over to the Stock
Exchange and announce it.'
" 'Allow me to make a suggestion,
Mr. Morgan.' -
"He said, 'Yes, yes, what is it?' T
think,' I said, 'that this money should
be divided up into lots and distribut
ed among the banks. It will have a
better effect.' 'Very good sugges
tion,' said Mr. Morgan. 'Perkins,' he
said, snapped his fingers. 'Perkins, di
vide that $25,000,000 up into small
lots.'"
George W. Perkins, former partner
of J. P. Morgan, was the "Perkins"
referred to. Mr. Thomas testified
that the loan had a decided effect in
relieving panic conditions.
CORPORATIONS, LIKE
EXPIRE
SALEM, Or., June 13. Request for
the annual reports of corporations
sent out by Secretary of State Olcott
May 31 is bringing to light the fact
that enarly one-fourth of the corpora
tions, which, according to the state
records, are supposed to be doing bus
iness m Oregon are defunct. Some
of them became bankrupt, some mere
ly ceased doing business and others
died from various causes.
. These requests for reports were
sent to 7000 supposedly live corpora
tions. Besides these there are 11,
000 names of other corporations that
once existed in this state. Under the
present corporation law these nmaes
must be kept on the records and no
other corporation may use the names.
, "Any time any of these defunct cor
porations wish to resume business the
present law provides they may do so
by paying the fees due up to the time
they were dissolved, which would be
within two years after they ceased
doing business," said Corporation
Clerk Babcock. "This puts a prem
ium on delinquency."
WOMAN TO SPEAK IN
OPEN EORUM SUNDAY
(Communication)
A few years ago a woman while
toiling in a woolen mill was sitting
at the feet of a gentle Muse, and in
the midst of her struggles in aiding
her husband in providing for the com
fort of the home, the education of
their children and the care of an aged
invalid parent, found time to study
and improve her gifts. She did not
bemoan her lot ,and cry because she
had no chance. She made a chance
for herself, working the usual num
ber of hours for a weaver, using her
"spare minutes" in writing, and while
weaving the web of cloth she was
weaving the web of thought, and tran
slating it into words of poetic form
and beauty, and" she has given to the
world a book of poems In which she
makes record of the struggles of a
woman who work3 because she wants
to work, and works to live, and lives
to work.
The story of this woman recently
appeared in one of the Portland pap
ers and was, widely read She lives
in our city, and from her humble home
surrounded by flowers, and from
which she looks out upon the valleys
and mountains, works, studies and
writes, and cares for her own.
Dr. Ford visited this authoress,
Mrs. Griffin, recently, and became in
terested in her work, and particularly
in her story, and requested her to
occupy the platform in his church
next Sunday evening ,and she con
sented, though with reluctance, and
will tell the "Story of the Struggles
of a Modern Woman" in her own
beautiful, simple way. She is a wo
man of splendid gifts, and though she
knows what poverty means she is
unwilling to sit down and let the op
portunities for improvement pass un
noticed. It will be worth while for
the women, and men as well, to hear
Mrs. urittin.
A Suggestive Sermon.
The Rev. Dr. Howard, chaplain to
Princess Augusta, was so fond of good
living that he ran Into debt with many
of the tradesmen In his parish. It was
In their special Interests that he one
flay preached from the text, "Have pa
tience, and I will pay you all." He
spoke at great length on the virtues of
patience and then proceeded. "I now
come to the second part of my dis
course, which is, 'and 1 will pay you
all,' but that I shall defer to a future
occasion.'! London Standard.
A Laudable Resolve.
"1 once ventured to tell Mr. Cnrne
gie." said a New York tailor, "that he
displayed remarkably good taste in
dress. He beamed-the compliment
pleased him-and be said:

MEN ON DIAMOND
NEED PROTECTION
Cannot Shield Themselves From
Spectators' Insults.
COBB'S CASE IS TYPICAL
Should Persona In Grand 8tand With
Grouch Against Player Be Permitted
to Address Improper Remarks--and
Personal Abuse at Them?
By TOMMY CLARK.
It speaks - pretty well for the self
control baseball players exercise tbat
there are not more instances of the
kind which happened on the New York
grounds recently when Ty Cobb, De
troit's great player, climbed into the
grand stand and thrashed an abusive
spectator.
The cowardly practice of some per
sons in abusingln the vilest manne a
player on the field whom they would
not dare to "assail man to man calls
for drastic action. The wonder is tbat
more players do not take such matters
Into their own hands.
Aggravated nagging and abuse of
ball players by spectators are the de
velopment of a trait as-cowardly as
that of the miscreant who throws bot
tles at an umpire. V -
Lost in a crowd,' the spectator hides
behind his fellows to taunt and jeer
and to apply epithets to a citizen who
Is In as good standing as or better than
the offender. It is a quality which, is
unsportsmanlike and deplorable.
Men with red blood in their veins
re sure to resent the attacks which
are frequently made on them on the
ball field. There Is no protection pro
vided for the player, as a rule, and he
must either stand the abuse or mete
out such punishment as he sees fit
According to Cobb, the rooter who in
sulted him and upon whom Tyrus took
summary revenge was the same Indi
vidual who all last summer kept up a
persistent flow of vile and Insulting re
marks directed at the Georgia peach
whenever Detroit played in New York.
Ty stated that he had warned this fan
before the game started to cease his
flow of talk . or else take the conse
quences, but there was an increase in
stead of decrease in the insults until
he (Cobb) cleared the railing and phys
ically stopped the vile flow.
On the ground of personal vindica
tion and insulted manhood Cobb was
justified in his action.
On the other hand, it may be said
Cobb had no right whatever to enter
the stand and engage in a broil with a
spectator. It might bave led to far
more serious consequences than it did.
While the player may feel that it is
unjust to him to be the target of vile
abuse, it is not his province to act as
judge and jury in a public contest at
which there are hundreds of reputable
citizens as well, possibly, as an occa
sional hoodlum.
Cobb was suspended by Ban John
son for what he did, and his absence
weakened the Tigers. He transgressed
the rules ot order of the game. It is
stated explicitly that playersnust not
engage in controversy with spectators.
Some steps should be taken by every
club to protect the players from abu
sive attacks from the spectators. The
average patron of baseball does not ap
prove of this method of trying to rat
tle visiting players and would wel
come the expulsion from the parks of
persons who resort to such methods.
"Do you know why the Cincinnati
Reds are winning?" asked a close stu
dent of baseball of the writer recently.
"I'll answer it myself," said the speak
er. "Hank O'Day. a National league
umpire for twenty years, knows more
about the pitchers of rival teams than
the otber managers. He is also aware
of the weakest points of all the bats
men, and he has imparted this valu
able Information to the Reds.
"O'Day, always a dictator when he
rendered decisions, enjoys the respect
of his players, and it is an easy task
to enforce discipline. He isn't a bully,
but be rules with an Iron hand and has
proved to his men that he knows more
about Inside baseball than they do.
"Furthermore, the Cincinnati man
ager, aware of the trials and tribula
tions of umpires, is against kicking and
believes he can secure better breaks if
his men play clean ball."
If Promoter Jack Curley wants to
make that July 4 show at Vas Vegas,
N. M., interesting he should have ad
vertised Jack Johnson to take on all.
the "white hopes" the same afternoon.
Jim Flynn might come first followed
by Morris. Palzer, Stewart. Kaufman,
Kennedy and six or eight others, thus
affording an adequate afternoon's en
tertainment. O'DAY NOT ALWAYS POPU
LAR IN CINCINNATI.
Reference has been made to
the fact that Umpire Carpenter
is now in the twelfth year of
service with the Southern league.
Hank O'Day umpired fifteen
years for the National league and
continuously. Bob Emslle has
been a National league umpire
still longer. Apropos of O'Day,
bis success as a manager this
year makes him the most popu
lar and revered man in Cincin
nati, but he basn always been
so regarded there. Soon after
' Hank began umpiring in the Na
tional league be was officiating
in a Baltimore-Cincinnati game.
Frank Dwyer was pitching and
' an Oriole bunted the ball. Hank
made tracks for first base, think
ing there would be a play there,
but Dwyer caught the bunt on
the fly. Hank didn't see that,
and he called the batter safe at
first base. Dp to a shorf while
ago they were still harping on
'that mistake of O'Day's in Cin
cinnati. However, there never
, was a better umpire than O'Day,
and a few boots can be forgiven
him.

EX-OREGON CITY MAN
The corpse of Frank Starvasnik, an
Austrian, forty-five year old, who left
here about two weeks ago for Colo
rado, has been recovered from the
river in Chicago. -The Chicago police
Thursday telegraphed this information
to the Chief of Police here, without
suggesting what led to the man's
death
Starvasnik, who had a wife " and
eight children in Austria, came here
aT)out three years ago, and worked in
the paper , mills He was industrious
and saving, and sent much of his earn
ings to his family abroad. A fortnight
ago he departed with Frang Labento
seek work in the Colorado mines,
where, it said, he had been employed
before. Since then nothing had been
heard from him until the news of his
death.
No reason to suspect foul play is
known nor is any caus9 for suicide
known.
The telegram from Chicago was
turned over to Starvasnik's friends
in the Austrain colony, who tried to
get in touch with a Colorado lodge to
which it is believed Starvasnik be
longed A brother lives in Pennsyl
vania. .

TRIFLES.
Life is made up mostly of what we
term trifles,"
Crises seldom confront us.
When a critical turning does come
to us we bring to bear upon it all the
force that we can summon. We rise
to the challenge. We put the best foot
forward. Win or lose, we do our best.
But
The little things are different. They
wear us out. We call them trifles, but
are they?
You know, for instance, that a slight
dip in the axis of the earth .would
wipe out every vestige of man and his
works off the globe.
Or-
A nail near the compass box may de
flect the needle aud run the ship oo
the shoals.
Trifles? - - -
A little too much or too little vibra
tion of the violin string in the tuner's
band mars the tone. It is the little
rift in the lute that makes the music
mute. It is so in our lives. "
Nerves are rasped and put on edge,
tempers are ruffled, patience is ex
haustd by "trifles light as air." Be
cause These small things come upon us
frequently aud unawares. We have
no time to gather together our forces
to meet the "trifles." We do not put
them down and in consequence they
put ns down.
Little things become big.
Take it in married life. Irritated at
some trifle, the husband loses his pa
tience. He voices the complaint. The
wife loses her grip on discretion and
retorts In kind. The thing develops
into a dispute, a quarrel sometimes
worse.
Or-
The husband comes home to find the
nerves of his wife are jangled by
some extra household cares. She for
gets that he may be worn by the wor
ries of his day. She complains of
some trifle of omission or commission.
The husband flames up. There is a
dispute, misunderstanding, discord,
wretchedness.
Trifles make tragedies.
Had the wife been seriously ill the
husband would bear the little com
plainings without thought of resent
ment: Had some misfortune befallen
the husband the wife would stand by
him to the end. -
Ware the trifles!
They cause us to lose our proper
sense of proportion. Looming large
in fancy,, they create havoc. In the
lexicon of human living there is no
such word as trivial. ,S
