CARTY'S REAL
LUCK STORY
Heavyweight Filter's Manager
Tells of Tlieir Woes.
LIVED MAINLY ON TOUCHES
Held Bat Nelson Up For $50 Paid Him
Back After Palzer Fight Once Had
No Place to Sleep Ate Himself Out
of Boarding House.
When Lutber McCarty's manager
mailed a fifty dollar check to Bat Nel
son recently it was the end of the
hardest luck story that has adorned
the record of any world's champion.
"When I borrowed those fifty bones
from Nelson," said McCarney recently,
"Luther and I were at the lowest ebb.

LUTHER M'CAKTY, CLAIMANT OF WHITE
HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE.
In fact, the tide may be said to have
gone out and left us stranded. We
had pretty nearly taken the count.
"We had been hanging around
Springfield, Mo., where I had horned
into a fight club and was trying to
get the cowboy started. We were
literally down and out. We had stayed
at the hotel on credit until the pro
prietor sadly notified us to brush along.
"I then fanned Luther out to various
boarding bouses, but he ate himself
out of a welcome in one after anoth
er. His appetite didn't make him a
good boarding house risk.
"We had to get along mainly on
touches. It wasn't safe to wish me a
pleasant good morniug in those days.
"Luther never made a whimper. He
would come around and make a touch
from me, and I would let himhave
whatever I could. Sometimes I slipped
him a dollar; sometimes it was only a
quarter. I remember that once he
asked me for money when 1 only had
a quarter in the world. I split with
him and gave him a dime. I will al
ways remember the way he gr'ir.aecl
and said: 'Bill, you ought to give me
a little fatherly advice before you send
me away with this. 1 am liable to go
out and raise the dickens with this
dime.'
"At last it got down to the place
where we were dead broke. That was
just a year ago. Bat Nelson had come
to Springfield to fight a boy named
O'Rourke for my club, and we were
hoping that that would rehabilitate our
fortunes.
"When night came Luther, who had
used up his last boarding house, hadn't
a place to sleep and nothing to eat. He
sat down in the hotel office. I found a
club, sandwich that somebody had left
and fairly poked this into his face.
'"Where am I going to sleep, Bill?'
he asked.
"I thought a moment, then told him
to sneak upstairs and crawl into Bat
Nelson's bed. He disappeared, and aft
er awhile there came a roar over the
phone. Bat was demanding to know
who the big bum was iu his tied. At
this demand I went upstairs, and tp
gether we surveyed the slumbering
form of the eowpnncher.
"'I've batted him around for ten
minutes, but I can't wake him,' said
Bat. 'Who is the big tramp, anyhow?"
" 'Why,' 1 said, with all the surprise
I could muster, 'that must be Lutber
McCnrty. He must have gone to the
wrong room by mistake.'
"I politely pounded Luther awhile
and told him to wake up and get out of
Bat's bed. but Luther slumbered on.
All he did was to curl up his legs.
"Finally I told Bat he had better give
it up for a bad job and crawl iu beside
Luther. He did this, and Luther got a
good bed for the night.
"We had expected to make a lot of
money out of Bat's fight, but he suc
ceeded in offending most of the white
population of the town, and his fight
was h frost. AYe didn't get enough
money to pay Bat's $800 guarantee. We
had to pty him his money, but I fol
lowed him to the-trnin and begged him
to-give me me money back. He final
ly wrenched himself away from 50,
giving me a check just as the train
StarleJ."
Huxley's Larger View.
James Hauuay, once a member of
the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette, was
a typical man of letters. And HuxJey,
us everybody knows, was a typical
scientific man. Hannay bad been a
iilJi;Jriman when H'uSiC y c S
surgeon. Years after the two met
eaeh other on the steps of the British
museum. "Huxley," said Hannay, "I
care nothing for man except as a crea
ture of historical tradition."
"Nor I," answered Huxley, "for him
except as a compound of gas and wa
ter. -
"But," he added, "if we were each
of us better educated men than 'we
are we should know how to respect
' each other's studies more."
GOVERNOR URGED
TO HONOR EXPLORER
.SAI EM, Or., Feb. 12. That the
beautiful floral smybolism adopted
by the English people out o respect
tn th memory of Captain tfobert F.
Scott and party, who perished in ihe
Antarlic regions, which is u in car
ried out in Portland next Fri
day, may be state-wide in application,
Senator Milton A. Miller, of Linn, in
trouueed a joint resolution in the
Senate this morning, requesting Gov
ernor West to issue a proclamation.
The text of the resolution follows:
"Whereas, Captain Robert F. Scott
and party, a body of courageous men
who braved the hardships and dan
gers of the icy Antartic regiou in
search of data to add to the sum of
scientific - knowledge and advance
ment, achieved the South Pole only
to meet with death in a blizzard which
swept the barren, snow-covered
steppes of the South Frigid Zone
while they were returning to civiliza
tion; and.
"Whereas, In token of the wave of
profound sorrow which has submerg
ed the civilized world because of
this disaster, memorial services will
be held in St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon
don, England, Friday, February -14,
1913, at which white flowers will be
worn as the emblem of the universal
grief felt, by reason of the untoward
fate met by these intrepid explorers
in the land of the white death; and
"Whereas, The citizens of Oregon's
metropolis, on the initiative of Dr.
David F. Walker, an officer of the
McClintock party which learned the
fate of Sir John Franklin and also
gathered much Arctic lore, are advo
cating the wearing of white flowers
on that day as symbolic of the man
ner in which Captain Scott and party
met death; and
Whereas, The names of these men',
striving to gain knowledge that would
have benefited the people of all na
tions and all climes, should be inscrib
ed on the memorial tablets of the
world, therefore be it
"Resolved, By the Senate, the House
concurring, that His Excellency, the
Governor of Oregon, is hereby direct
ed to issue a proclamation, calling on
the citizens of Oregon to show their
respect for the memory of Captain
Scott and party on Friday, February
14, by wearing a white flower."
U. 8. AMY READY
TO GO TO MEXICO
'(Continued from page 1)
the scheme of Army reorganization
and its responsiveness to the call for
foreign service may be regarded as
a first practical test of the value of
the new system. The First Brigade
will entrain for Newport News, Va.,
only in the event the preparatory or
ders issued this morning are follow
ed by others setting the troops in
motion. Within 24 hours after such
order it is expected that the most
distant organizations within the bri
gade wiP be at Newport News .
Mapor-General Aleshire, quarter-master-general,
today followed up the
orders to commission the army trans
ports at Newport News by directing
the immediate assembly of food sup
plieSj wagon transportation and other
equipment for troops on" foreign ser
vice. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 12. The Unit
ed States Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson and the German Minister
went to the National Palace this af
ternoon to demand from President
Madero that the battle cease immed
iately. Plans for a conference between the
leaders of the rebels and the repre
sentatives of the Government were
under discussion at the National Pal
ace shortly after noon.
Hopes of a conference soon dim
inished. There was a cessation of
firing, but this appeared to be due
to a change in the federal positions
and was regarded by the rebels as
a trick to draw them out. The bulk
of the government troops are station
ed in the Northwestern part of the
city.
The British legation is under fire
from the rebel position, and a bat
tery of federal artillery has been plac
ed close by as a protection.
The federal troops reopened the
battle in the streets of the Mexican
capital at 6:35 this morning.
The action soon became general,
all the artillery on both sides being
brought into play. The cannon fire
was augmented by sweeping salvos
from the machine guns, while the
.infantry came into action with vol
leys and individual shooting.
The rebels under Felix Diaz start
ed to advance toward the national
nalace at 8:45. They seemingly are
employing heavier canon than they
did yesterday. They directed their
fire toward the national palace and
on the higher buildings in the cen-

VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 12.
General Maus this forenoon stated
that no orders hal been received in
ne Department of the Columbia uv
er for the mobilization of troops and
their transportation to the Mexican
border and that he did not believe
the conditnons were as serious as
reported, adding, that the govern
ment was at all times ready to pro
tect its interests and the interests of
American citizens on the border of
Mexico, and if the conditions there
became serious enough, would doubt
less take the necessary steps to give
needed protection.
The spuadron of the First Cavalry
now at Boise Barracks, Idaho, has
been ordered to the Presidio of Mon
terey, Cal., where the four troops will
take station. This is part of the gen
eral scheme of shifting troops, and
at the department headquarters it is
stated that it has no significance in
connection with the talk of troui.ie
in Mexico. The horses and freight I
of the four troops will pass through
Portland some time the latter part
of this week, while the men of the
command are expected to go via Og
den, Utah, and over the Central Pacif

CITY IS BEING
CLEANED RAPIDLY
Councilman Albright announced
Wednesday that three teams had been
engaged to collect the garbage of
Oregon City. The Council in the first
place engaged only one team, but the
amount of garbage placed in front
of the various homes rendered it nec
essary to engage more teams. Mr.
Albright said that the people had re
sponded promptly to the call to have
garbage placed where it could be
reached and that the city could be
cleaned in a short time.
WILSON THREATENED
WITH R. R. STRIKE
NEW YORK, Feb. 12. W. S. Car
ter, president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
amplified today his statement of yes
terday that the railroads were deter
mined to "put fear into the heart of
Woodrow Wilson," by a great strike
as a means of securing higher freight
rates, and added that, in his opinion,
Wall Street was responsible for the
situation.
The firemen's leader gave this as
his analysis of the deadlock now ex
isting between 54 eastern railroads
and their 34,000 firemen immediately
after he had concluded a conference
with Judge Martin A. Knapp, of the
United States Commerce Court, and
G. W. W. Hanger, Acting Commission
er of Labor, before whom both sides
are to explain their contentions.

BILL HITTING LOCAL
RAILWAY FAILS
SALEM, Or., Feb. 12; (Special.)
A forensic gale in the Senate blew
around the bill of Smith of Coos and
Curry to prohibit the merging of rail
roads and public utilities and the bill
was defeated when it came to a vote,
only ten favoring it with 14 against
it and six absent. The bill would
have hindered seriously the Clacka
mas Southern Railway.
The bill was said to be designated
primarily to prevent a merger of the
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
Company and the Northwestern Long
Distance Telephone Company, which
it is said has been threatened in event
the former could gobble up the bonds
of the latter company.
Senator Day gave some objections
to the bill similar to those he offered
yesterday, following which he was at
tacked by Smith of Coos and Curry,
who declared that perhaps Day was
a better lawyer than the Attorney
General and intimated that Day may
have some personal intertsts which
induced him in the matter.
'"This is ungentlemanly, uncalled
for, unparliamentary and unevery
thing," declared Senator Thompson,
jumping to the floor, with face flush
ing. "I ebject to the allowing of
members to be subjected to such
statements."
Smith retreated and said that he
would confine himself to remarks
on the bill.
President Malarkey, taking the floor
resented the imputations that had
been made relative to a "lineup"
among the Senators.
"When -Senator Smith spoke he
talked about a 'lineup', " said the
President. -" I deprecate this contin
ual impugning of motives of fellow
Senators. I believe that honest men
can disagree. And I do not believe
Senator Smith has introduced the
legislation that he proposes that he
could be impugned for having a polit
ical motive

where I fully believe in public ower-
J. H. Ackermann, principal of the
Normal Training School at Mon
mouth, lectured at the High school
Wednesday morning. Mr. Ackermann
urged the children to be more pro-
grevssive in their work and to make
the most of their opportunities? He
likened persons to a railroad train
and urged his hearers not to be ca
booses. He declared that Lincoln
had done a great work but insisted
that it took as much courage today
to accomplish great deeds as it did
in the time of the Great Emancipa
tor. Miss Louise Huntley rendered
several solos on the piano and recita
tions were given by Miss Irene Han
ny, Miss Ada Mass and Miss Grace
Spiger. Superintendent of City
Schools Tooze made a short address
and the students rendered several
songs.

CARDUI WORKED

After Operation Failed to Help,
Cardui Worked L&e a Charm.
Jonesville, S. C. "I suffered with
womanly trouble," writes Mrs. J. S.
Kendrick," in a letter from this place,
"and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet. The doctor said I would
never be any better, and that I would
have to have an operation, or I would
have a cancer.
I went to the hospital, and they oper
ated on me, hut I got no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Cardui, and began to
improve, so I continued using It. Now,
I am well, and can do my own work.
I don't feel any pains.
Cardui worked like a charm."
There must be merit in this purely
vegetable, tonic remedy, for women
Cardui for it has been , in successful
use for more than 50 years, for the
treatment of womanly weakness and
disease.
Please try it, for your troubles.
