GERMAN PRIDE HANGS ON DOGGEDLY
America Wrests 3000-meters Team
Contest From Swedes and Brit
ishers High Jumps Also
Are Won
STOCKHOLM, July 13. American
athletes took the two feature events
the 400-meter and the 3000 meters
team race at the Olympic meet to
day. The 400 meters, which the judges
decided to run in lanes in the final,
was a struggle between the German,
Braun, and four American competit
ors. The Syracuse collegian, Charles
D. Reidpath won handily in 48 1-5
second, with Edward F. Lindberg,
Chicago A. A., in third place.
The Americans have drawn a few
unpleasant surprises in the last two
days, but they encountered a pleas
ant one by wresting the 3000-meters
team race from the Swedes and Brit
ishers. Most of the Americans who
composed the team are milers rather
than two-milers, and it was expected
the British contestants would run
away with the event. But the Union
Jack came only third, with the blue
and yellow of Sweden dangerously
close to the Americans for first.
The discus final with each hand was
a new game for the Americans, as
they were not accustomed to throw
ing with the left hand. The event
proved easy for the Northerners, two
Finns and two Swedes making the
largest double scores.
The two Adams brothers, Piatt and
Benjamin, went much higher in the
standing high jump than all the oth
ers except the Greek with the tongue
twisting name, who was a good third.
In the swimming events Harry J.
Hebner, of the Illinois Athletic Club,
captured the final heat of the 100
meters back stroke in one minute 21
1-5 seconds. In the first heat of the
400-meter free style swimming semi
finals the Canadian crack swimmer,
George Hodgson, finished first in five
minutes 25 2-5 seconds, which is a
new world'se record. Healy, the Aus
tralian star, finished third, in the sec
ond heat, but qualified for the final
as the fastest third. This heat was
won by Hardwick also of Australia, in
5:34 4-5.
JOLLY EUGENE ELK
IS "ARRESTED" HERE
A jolly party of Eugene Elks
returning to that city from Port
land played a practical joke on
'Jack' Rodman, one of their num
ber in this city Saturday after
noon. Rodman, who is a promi
nent real estate man, like many
other Elks who attended the con
vention became financially era.
, barrassed and borrowed $10 from
one of his friends. Upon reach
ing this city the friend demanded
that the money be paid. An ar
gument followed in which -Rodman
declared he could not pay un
. til he reached home.
Meanwhile Mayor Berger, O. V.
Roberts and A. E. Jepp, of Eu
gene, hunted up Mayor Dimick
Assistant District Attorney Stipp
and Deputy Sheriff Miles and
planned to have Rodman arrested.
Miles took him to jail and a few
minutes later he was taken to the
mayor's office where he was giv
en a hearing. He pleaded guilty
to having borrowed the money,
but insisted that he could not pay
until he reached home.
"Then I'll" fine you $5," said
the mayor. "It is a very grave
offense but inasmuch as you are
an Elk and so am I, I will make
the fine as light as possible."
"I knew I would be arrested
when I came into this town," said
Rodman. "However, I can't pay
the fine. Some of my friends
.will."
J. S. Airhart, a member of the
party, paid the fine and the jolly
Elks climbed into their big auto
mobile and started for Eugene.
The victim of the prank, while
not aware of the joke, took his
"arrest good naturedly, and de
clared that it was nothing more
than he expected.

PRESIDENT FOSTER, OF REED
COLLEGE, DELIVERS IN
TERESTING ADDRESS
FIFTY BABIES ARE ON PLATFORM
Charles Edward Russel And Lou J.
Beauchamp To Be Stellar
Attractions Today Glad
stone Wins Again
With an interesting address by
President Foster of Reed College at
the forum hour Saturday morning aad
with two excellent concerts by the
Chicago Operatic Company occupying
the attention of chautauqua people in
the afternoon and evening, the first
week of the 1912 session clJ33lla-a
night. The general feeling current on
the grounds is that the program has
surpassed the record of all former
years in point of general excellence.
It was "Child Welfare Day" at the
forum hour, the program being in
charge of the Oregon Congress of
Mothers. A row of some fifty tots
on the auditorium stage was an ap
propriate idea for the day, and furn
ished a most unique reception com
mittee lor Dr. Foster. His lecture
was a masterly discourse on the sex
tual lire (f the noy and girl. He
strongly criticized the natural hesi
tancy of parents in being frank with
their children, combatting the cur
rent idea that they should not attack
the innocence of the child, on the the
ory that they will often obtain the
knowledge from harmful sources. Dr.
Foster made a vicious attack on so-
called "specialists." He commended
the growing interest in physical edu
cation for all and not for those espec
ially adapted for such work. He em
phasized vocational education and
called the attention of teachers to
their duty, that of taking care of the
"whole" child, physically, intellectu
ally and morally. Throughout his
delicate discussion which was given
eager attention by several hundred,
the row of five-year olds upon the
stage made a most striking effect up
on the hearers.
A more fitting climax to the first
week's' closing could not have beeij
imagined than the final concert of the
Chicago Operatic Company. Pleased
with their reception and the large en
thusiastic audience which greeted
them for their first three efforts, the
excellent company gave their best
work to the largest crowd of the week
and their closing numbers, the bal
cany and mariage scenes from Goun
od's Romeo and Juliet will long be re
membered by the 3000 who attended
the concert. Especial mention of Mr.
Middleton's rendition of tne prologue
from "Pagliacci" should be made. In
the scenes from "Romeo and Juliet"
Mr. Miller and Miss Allen took the
title roles most admirably, while Fri
ar Lawrence, sung by Mr. Middleton
and Mrs. Gannon as Gertrude won
lasting laurels for themselves. The
evening program follows:
1. King's Prayer, (Lohengrin) Wag
ner, (Quartette Arr.)
2. Duet, (Lakins Delibes) Miss Al
len and Mr. Gannon.
Flower Song (Carmen Bizet,) Mr.
Miller.
4. Aria, O Don Fatale (Verdi) Mrs.

Both Willamette and Pacific Uni
versity have headquarters on the

and students in large numbers will
unite with faculty and friends for a
genuine love feast and the college
glee club will give an afternoon "con
cert at 1:30 preceding the appearance
of the Cambridge Players.
Saturday brought out the largest
attendance of the session for the sum
mer school classes and the unusual
interest in the morning session is re
flecting great credit on the able in
structors at the assembly. Some of
the classes number as high as two
hundred and fifty.
Charles Edward Russel, with his
great lecture, "Soldiers of the Com
mon Good," and ,Lou J. Beauchamp
in "The Age of the Young Man" are
the stellar platform attractions today
Neither needs any introduction to Ore
gon people, and the management has

FUSION SCHEME
ROOSEVELT PLAN
PHILADELPHIA, July 13. After
an all-day' conference between ex
State Senator Flinn ,of Pittsburg, and
supporters of Theodore ' Roosevelt
Eastern counties of Pennsylvania to
consider plans for the .organization of
the third party in this state, an
nouncement was made that the con
sensus of opinion favored the placing
of the same set of Presidential elect
ors on both the Republican and third
party tickets.
Acording to this plan the electors
are to bind themselves to vote in the
electoral college for the candidate on
the ticket on which the elector re
ceived the highest number or votes.
It is said that if the tentative plan
finally is adopted, it would amount to
fusion in this state of the Taft vote
on the Republican ticket and of the
vote of the Presidential candidate on
the third party ticket; that is the
combined vote of the elector on the
two tickets would count against the
vote received by a Democratic elect
or. The electors on the Republican
ticket. were selected at the regular Re
publican convention at Harrisburg on
May 1.' That convention was con
trolled by Mr. Flinn and his friends.

LORIMER

ILLINOIS BOSS DEFEATED IN
FIGHT FOR LEGISLATIVE
v SEAT
VOTE AGAINST HIM OVERWHELMING
Remarkable Address Made By Ac
cused Man Fails Of Pur
pose And He Loses
Toga '
WASHINGTON, July 14. Sen
ator William Lorimer, of Illinois,
was expelled from the United
States senate this afternoon by a
vote of 55 to 28. By that over
whelming verdict his colleagues
found him guilty of having been
elected May 24, 1909, by "cor
rupt methods and practices."
With Lorimer's dramatic as
sertion that his expulsion would
be the crime of the senate," his
colleagues voted nearly 2 to i to
oust him as a beneficiary of
fraud.
Lorimer did not vote on his own
case but his aged colleague, Sen
ator Cullom of Illinois, turned
against him in the senate. '
. With' a smile on his face, Lori
mer arose from his seat and with
a swinging gait walked toward the
Republican cloak , room. As he
reached the door Senator Smoot
grasped his hand and friends
from the house joined him. Sen
ators Dillingham .Jones and oth
ers who voted for Lorimer joined
him in the cloak room and bade
him goodbye.
Three, senators were absent.
Several were "paired"- and could
not vote. Senator Culbertson of
Texas, originally voted to oust
Lorimer and then, being paired
with Dupont of Delaware who was
absent, withdrew his vote.
Lorimer's ejection followed a
three days' speech by the senator,
dramatic and replete with inveet
ive for his opponents. Beginning
Thursday, Lorimer had spoken 11
and one-half hours when he re
linquished the floor at 1 :30 - this
afternoon. Lorimer's fight for

CLACKAMAS COUNTY AUTO
CLUB AND COURT MAKE
WINNING FIGHT
CHIEF ENGINEER BLOOD AT MEETING
Improvement Which Will Be
Great Boon To Owners Of
Cars Is To Be Made
At Once ,
As a result of the efforts of -the
Clackamas County Automobile
Club "and the County Court, the
Southern. Pacific Railway Com
pany will- widen the county road
between this city and Parkplace
at the intersection of the railroad.
That is the most dangerous rail
way crossing in the county, and
several serious acidents have been
narrowly ' averted there. The
automobile club, which was or
ganized recently, asked the county
court to have the road widened,
and a conference between Judge
Beatie, C. C. Blood, Chief Engi
neer of the Railway in Oregon and
B. T. McBain, M. D. Latourette, C.
W. Risley and H. G. Starkweather
representing the club was held
Saturday. ...
The crossing was examined and
Mr. Blood admitted that it was
dangerous. At the suggestion of
Judge Beatie and the committee
representing the club, be said the
road would be widened twenty-five
feet in . the near future. The
promise of the company to make
the improvement is directly due to
the organization of the automo
bilists of the county, and it is be
lieved that the club will accomp
lish much more for the benefit of
not only its members, but all per
sons using the county roads.
Without organization, it is point
ed out, it would be impossible to
obtain many desired improve
ments. "AUK SMITH BOUND
OVER TO GRAND JURY
Oscar Smith, known as "Auk"
Smith, .was held to answer to the
Grand Jury by Justice of the
Peace Samson Saturday on a
charge preferred by Dora Barn
holtzer, fifteen years of age. The
girl testified that the defendant
virtually forced her to go with him
to a hotel. She declared that she
fought with him in a room and
finally the proprietor came to the
door and told the girl that a friend
had called for her. She said that
Smith then let her leave the
room.
The defendant said that the girl
had willingly accompanied her to
the room. He testified that he had
told her if sire would accompany
him he would provide beer, and
that she went tothe room with the
sole intention of obtaining a
drink. He denied attacking the
girl. When asked how old he was
Smith replied that he was nine
teen. "Didn't you recently make ap
plication to become a member of
a lodge, and gave your age as
twenty-one?" asked Assistant
District Attorney Stipp.
The defendant answered the
question in the affirmative, but
said he was telling the truth at
this time. After George C. Brow
nell, of counsel for the defendant
had finished questioning the girl
and Smith, he'announced that the
defense waived further examina
tion. Justice of the Peace Sam
son in holding the man to the
grand jury declared that such
practices in hotels must be stop
ped, and also declared that moth
ers should be more careful with
whom they allow their daughters
to associate.
".We must protect our girls,"
said Mr. Samson. "The law must
do its.parj, and the parents must
do theirs. It is a matter that
cannot be given too much atten
tion." .
Gordon E. Hayss is assisting in
tin, defense and H. N. llicks is by
courtesy of Mr. Stipp, assisting
in the prosecution.
Smith is a prominent athlete
and is one of the -best known
wrestlers in Oregon.
