He is an amateur swimmer, six feet one and one-half Inches in height and weighs 202 pounds stripped. He is thirty years old and lives at River, N. J. He has only been swimming seri ously four years. He was born of English parents at Bryn Mawr, Pa., and during his boyhood did no more swimming than the average youth. WELLS LACKS ENDURANCE. Johnson or Jeannette Could Toy With English Heavyweight Champion. That Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight champion, who recently returned to his native country, would be the Ideal opponent to pit against Jack Johnson if he only possessed even the average amount of endurance was shown by his remarkable exhibi tion of science in the bout with, Tom Kennedy in New York as- , time ago. But as the car. . ds Weils would not have the slightest chance, and any talk of mitchir; the pair is akin to aiding and abetting a murder. BOMBAKDIEB WELLS, ENGLISH HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION. The same can be said of a match with Jeannette or, for that matter, with any rugged man capable of withstanding a beating for a few rounds. It is regrettable that Wells is so lacking in endurance. There is no doubt that -he is skillful enough to pierce the guard of Johnson, and while his strength lasted he would hit hard enough to trouble the black champion. But Wells is good for only one short spasm. Just why this is so is hard to understand. In build lie resembles the lean horse that is supposed to be best in a long race, but in action no fat man could blow up more quickly. This being so, talk of matching him with Jeannette or Johnson should be drop ped. . The Harvester May Lose Crown.

The Enterprise should i By EDWIN A.. NYE. GIRL JUSTICE. A gracious and unusual thing hap pened in New York city the other day. A "Cody of pretty shopgirls went out on strike because their homely sisters were not given fair treatment by the foreman of the factory. Isn't that fine? Why should foremen and heads of departments give preference and show courtesy to pretty employees, reserving the hard tasks and the harsh words for those less favored by nature? It is unfair. Why should the handsome girl have the advantage of the homely girl? It is a common saying that woman is a severe and heartless judge" of her sister woman:, that woman's inhu manity to woman makes countless mil lions mourn. But Here is an exception. These, good looking girls, toiling at their shop tasks under conditions ill suited for bringing out the best and noblest qual ities, show a commendable spirit of Justice and generosity. They have revolted, putting in peril their living in behalf of their homely sisters. Now There must be something in the In dustrial conditions where women are employed together that makes for sym pathy and helpfulness. You are not likely to discover such a bond of common interest and feeling in the so called higher circles of so ciety. The belle of the ballroom is not apt to manifest great considera tion for the poor wallflower. Rivalry, selfishness and envy are rife. Why not expect to find a like spirit In the factory? Yet here generous girls! Here are these New York shopgirls giving an exhibition which shows that the feminine sex Is capable of the largest sense of justice the imperson al sense. Putting aside their natural desire to retain their jobs, they are quick to see and resent a wrong in flicted upon their fellow tollers. Why fear the coming of women Into business and politics? There is something in the traasfer of woman to a wider sphere that de velops in her a larger view of things, a keener sense of relation and a larger tolerance. These brave girls have put on record a sacrificial sense of honor that has not always been recognized in wom an's dealing With her sister woman. Couple Gets License A license to marry was issued Wed nesday to Nellie V. Pierce and Sid ney D. Porter, of 910 Minnesota Ave nue, Portland. Sharp Girl. "M ary is a sharp girl." "What has she done now?" "Told Bfarold he might kiss her if he would stop smoking." "What is there sharp about that?" "She knew he never smoked." MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7. Represent atives of the government will . meet Emiliona Zapata, the rebel leader, at El Kilguero, -Morelos, tomorrow to discuss measures aiming at peace in the Southern part of the republic. Zapata has declared he would con sider no peace proposal unless it con tained. Madero's resignation. But the government has proceeded with plans for the conference and the cabinet has been instructed to obtain an arm istice if it can. Whether the., commission will con sider Nthe resignation of Madero is highly improbable, but it is felt that, once the peace conference is begun, terms can be made that do not in clude such provision, since the prin cipal complaint of the Zapatistas has been that of the ownership of the land. TO WITH PRESIDENT PORTLAND, Aug. 8. Following his return from a vacation in Yellow stone National Park, Ben Selling, Re publican nominee for United States Senator, has prepared a statement setting forth his stand on the various political issues of the day. The statement, which was prepared as soon as possible after Mr. Selling's return, was completed and made pub lic tonight. He declares himself to be in favor of the Republican ticket, including President Taft, and asserts that in this stand he has not desert ed in any way his progressive guns. . Mr. Selling proclaims and defines his own progressiveness by citing his long record in Oregon in behalf of the Oregon system and other legislation for the benefit of the people. Cooper and the Poacher. James Fenimore Cooper, once upon a day, caught a 'man on his grounds stealing some of his best apples. At the sight of Mr. Cooper the man be gan to run away. Cooper hailed him and told him that he was not only do ing wrong, but had wronged him, for if a stranger saw people slyly creeping Into his grounds to get a few apples or vegetables they would come to the conclusion that he (Cooper) was a miserly, ill natured and niggardly per son. If he wanted any such thing he should come in boldly at the front gate like an honest man, fill his basket and freely receive with the best wishes of an open heart. The Ruling Passion. The woman who had chased dust and dirt all her life finally reached St Peter. "Come in, you poor, tired woman." he said, and held the gate ajar. But the woman hesitated. "Tell me first," she said, "how often you clean house?" The saint smiled. "You can't shake off the ruling pas sion, can you?" he said. "Oh, well, step Inside and they'll give you a broom and dustpan instead of a harp." Pitts burgh Dispatch.

When William Hinkel, wealthy stockbroker, real estate man and oil operator, strolled into his office from luncheon yesterday, he found a note on his desk in his stepson's handwriting and signed George Hinkel, informing him that the writer had embezzled $34,000 in cash from the bank and an untold amount in securities. George Hinkel is 30 years old, mar ried and has been implicitly trusted to handle his father's business at a wage of $75 a month. Beyond the bare statement that he had taken the money and gone away, the letter gave no details. Investigation showed it to be substantially correct. Hinkel, Sr., estimates that he is out $40,000, but- he says he will not prosecute. The exact shortage will not be known until the books have been audited. Hinkel, Jr., was seen on the streets yesterday afternoon, but he could not be found last night. Rumor had it that he had fled to Mexico.

Sets Old Jupiter Pluvius tore loose Wed nesday night and for several hours, aided by King Thunder and Prime Minister Lightning, he flooded Ore gon City sending the straw-hatted and ice cream-suited inhabitants scurry ing to their homes in search of win ter raiment. Umbrellas and over shoes were at a premium. The heat lightning started about dusk and played a merry dance over the city, to the growls and bursts of thunder. The rain clouds spread out and deluged the streets and roads, settling the dust and cooling the at mosphere deliciously. "Jupe" left as suddenly as he came. , Wednesday was an extremely hot and sultry day and the thunder showers came as a climax. It will be cooler today, let us hope. CALF SUPPLY SHORT IN PORTLAND TRADE There was only a small showing of livestock at North Portland Wednes day. The strong feature of the trade was the calf division, in which all sales were made at $8.75, the highest point reached to date. The great scarcity of calves in the market this season has kept the price even higher than its usual differential with cat tle. Examination of the receipts of calves at North Portland for the first seven months of 1912 shows a loss of 1714 head, compared with arrivals of the same period in 1911. This de crease was shown in spite of the strenuous efforts that are being made by a local meat company to take this class of business away from the dressed meat trade of Front street Total calf arrivals during the 1912 period were 1732 head, while for the first seven months of 1911 they -were 3446 head.
