RITCHIE BEMOANS NOSE!
RAINDROPS, PLUS ABCESS KEEP
FIGHTERS OUT OF RING
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11. With
his nose swollen out of all proportion,
. Willie Ritchie today bemoaned the
misfortune that befell him on the eve
of his proposed battle with Tommy
Murphy, while unconvinced thousands
of boxing fans declared the champion
is afraid of the challenger, and for
that reason refused to agree to Pro
moter Coffroth's suggestion that after
last night's postponement, due to rain,
they fight it out tonight under the
same conditions that would have gov
erned last night's bout.
Jim Buckley, Murphy's manager, do
clared that Ritchie is afraid of the
Harlemite, and that the sore nose ex
cuse was nothing but a plain runout.
Ritchie's physician, however, was au
thority for the statement that the
champion really is suffering, and that
it would have been dangerous for
him to have gone into the ring last
night, even had the weather permit
ted, and that to do so tonight would
'be even more dangerous.
MEET IS TODAY
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec . 11. The
Multnomah-Seattle dual wrestling and
boxing meet will be staged tomorrow
evening in the Multnomah club gym
nasium. The first preliminary bout
will start promptly at 8:0 o'clock.
The card arranged by Edgar Frank
is an excellent one and some fast
bouts are expected not only in the
main events but in the preliminaries.
In the first wrestling bouts staged
in Portland this season, Oliver Run
chey, the 125 and 135 pound Pacific
northwest champion, will appear
again Hamlin of the local club. Run
chey last year defeated Frank and
is one of the classiest little wrestlers
ever developed in the northwest. The
other mat bout will be between Mc
, Carthy of Multnomah and Wray of Se
attle. NO FIGHTERS IN PORTLAND
The bars are still pu against pro
fessional wrestling in Portland. Sher
iff Tom Word has not receded from
the position recently taken in regard
to professional bouts and has so re
plied to au inquiry regarding a bout
here between Dr. Roller and Ben
Jackson.
HORR IS WILLING
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 11. While
here last Friday and Saturday Ralph
A. Horr, graduate manager of the
University of Washington, gave out
the information that he would be will
ing to give the Portland Rowing club
races- in eight-oared, four-oared
double or single shells with the Wash
ington crew any time next May at Se
attle.
1TCHENS' DEFENSE
M'MINNVILLE, Or., Dec. 11. "Not
guilty" was the verdict of the jury
that sat on the trial of James Hutch
ens, who was indicted for murder in
the first degree for the shooting of
Walter A. Rodgers. The jury was out
about two hours, and when the verdict
was read by Judge Holmes the audi
ence handclapped for three minutes.
James Hutchens, 38 years old, lives
with his aged mother on her home
stead, about 12 miles west of this
city, in the mountans, where Walter
A. Rodgers, the deceased, also had a
homestead. Nearly every resident of
the mountain district known as Pea
Vine Ridge was in attendance upon
this trial as witnesses. Hutchens
thanked the iurors cordially and
shook hands with them as they filed
out of the jury box.
The trial was conducted by R. L.
Conner, District Attorney for this
County, assisted by H. V. Newlin, of
Portland, for the state. The defense
-was handled in a masterly manner by
B. A. KlHis, of this city, and George
C. Brownell, of Oregon City. One
whole day was taken up with argu
ments of the attorneys.
Self-defense was the defense of the
defendant, and, although indicted for
murder in the first degree, Judge
Holmes' instruction to the jury were
to bring in either a verdict of man
slaughter or acquittal.

McCREDIE EXPECTS COLTS TO
GET GOOD START
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 11. Judge
McCredie said this morning that he
expected to see the Colts get a good
start in the Northwestern league sea
son of 1914. Williams will have four
and probably five good twirlers ' to
start with. They are Callahan, East

is a certainty that Stanley will be
shipped back to the class B team,
Hynes will he given a thorough try
out by McCredie.
Nick has signed youngster named
Bromley, who is said to be a wonder.
Bromley hails from Chico, Cal., and
is a southpaw. It is possible- that
Manager McCredie will give him a
tryout with the Beavers. Thomas,
shortstop of the Chico team, has also
been signed by Williams.
There is a chance of Dave Bancroft
holding the shortpatch for the Colts
again. Bancroft, however, will be
given a good opportunity to mage the

OWN CASE AND WINS
About a year ago William Lillie
was arrested on a criminal charge
against his daughter. The case has
gone through justice courts, grand
juries and to the circuit court. Lillie
has won out and the case been dis
missed. Mr. Lillie gained much notoriety dur
ing the case. From the first he was
his own attorney. He had a large
number of witnesses subpoenaed in
his defense, among them Drs. Mount,
and Norris, R. B. Beatie, Mrs. Lewen
berger of .Clackamas ; Mrs. Wright of
Wilhelmina; E. C. Hackett, W. A.
Holmes, John Hatton, Mrs. Nannie
Mumpower, Mrs.. Alice Carr and oth
ers. Only one witness was sworn, Mrs.
Carr, and her testimony was that the
daughter, Hazel Lillie had said to her
that her father, Wm. Lillie, had never
harmed her but that her mother, Lil
lie's divorced wife, wanted the child
to make the charge against her fath
er and she intended to stay by her
mother, whether it be right or wrong.
Lillie says the whole affair was a
conspiracy to ruin him in the com
munity and was the outcome of fam
ily troubles of several year's stand

JUAREZ, Mex., Dec. 11. The rebel
military commander at Juarez issued
an order imposing a penalty of death
before a firing squad on anyone who
violated or attempted to violate the
prohibition law. The penalty applies
as well to those who attempt to pur
chase liquor as those who sell it. The
order issued through the Chief of Po
lice says:
"It recently has come to the atten
tion of the military authorities that
merchants and saloonkeepers have
been selling liquor in violation of the
prohibition law. Notice is hereby
given that any attempt to violate the
law through purchase or sale will be
punishable by exeuction before a fir
ing squad."

druggists make their own, but it's
usually too sticky, so insist upon
getting "Wyeth's," which can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair, and
is the best remedy for dandruff,
dry, feverish, itchy scalp and to
stop falling hair.
Polks like "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur" because no one can pos
sibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does It so naturally and
evenly, says a well-known down
town druggist. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush and draw It
through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. This re
quires but a lew moments, by
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or
two is restored to Its natural color
and looks even more beautiful
and glossy than ever. (Adv.)

This Poppy Pincushion Is
Extremely New and Smart
This pincushion is made over a wood

purchased at -any fancy work store.
The huge flower forms are good Imi
tations of large poppies. The top Is a
smaller poppy.
-The flowers at the base are three in
number. Around a padded satin cover

made by a bail of cotton, the silk
curved over it and sewed at the base.

tached to the base of the padded cen
ter, and the ribbon is wound about in
three layers. This gives the petal ef
fect. The three forms are placed around
the base after the stem is wrapped by
the ribbon from base to top. A long
piece of ' ribbon is shirred, as in the
flower forms, and wound around itself,
js the swirled roses are made, the
lower edge drawn and sewed fast to
the top. Put pins with black, white
and colored tops In the centers of each
flower at the base and you will have
finished as pretty a pincushion as you
will see.
These floral pincushions may be
made to represent other flowers than
poppies, of course. It is a good idea to
scent them with sachet powder. The
scent should, if possible, be suited to
the flowers, a rose cushion being per
fumed with rose powder, etc. If yon
happen to know what is the favorite
flower of the one for whom the gift is
Intended use it in designing the pin
cushion. A gift of this sort will be
appreciated and kept long after the
useless trifles so often got up In the
name of fancy work are discarded and
forgotten.

cers performed their whole duty, and
that no fraud was committed.
All Votes Legal.
Following out the recent decision of
the supreme court of the state that
no voter could be disenfranchised by
any such registration law as was pass
ed by the last legislature, the court
held that all who voted at the election
at that time were qualified to do so
under the state laws.
The complaint made no allegations
of fraud on the part of the county
court nor did it say that the county
clerk had committed fraud in perform
ing his functions under the law. Un
less some evidence of that -kind were
introduced, the court refused to re
view their acts and presumed that
they had properly discharged the du
ties of their .offices.
Studies Date Problem
The judge went into the question of
the election dates. He decided: that
the last election was general in that
it was a special general election and
that all measures that the law per
mitted to be voted upon at that time
could be placed on the ballot on No
vember 4. He held that the local op
tion law is already a statute and that
the people are entitled on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday of any
year in November to decide whether
or not they want the statute to ap
ply to their own city or town.
Any such matter as local option that
the law allows the people to apply or
refuse to apply to their own territory,
could be voted upon at that time, the
court held.
Were Too Late.
In his argument, Chris Schubel con
tended the only request for a restrain
ing order that the wets could make
would be after the officers of the city
and county had attempted to put the
measure in force after January 1. He
thought that at that time only could
the case be made a test proposition
and carried into the courts by the sa
loons. The little word "its" played an im
portant part in the. proceeding. In
a sentence in the decision of Justice
Burnett, the court held that the city
could hold "its" election at a certain
time in November of any year. The
attorneys for the saloons argued that
Oregon City had no election, that the
city recorder had no records of such
an election in his office and that the
pretended election, if anything, was
a county affair.
Improperly Called.
C. D. Latourette contended that the
election was improperly called by the
county clerk and that the city record
er should have been the official to
call the election and announce the re
turns. He pointed out that the rec
ords of the city show that no election
was held, as far as they are concern
ed, and that the only evidence is the
record in the office of the county
clerk. He .also held that the entire
proceedure was wrong and that the
statute places a certain definite date
at which such elections must be held.
He wanted to know who gave the
county clerk the authority to hold a
city election and said that the people

had marched up to the polls "like
cattle" and voted when the county
clerk had called an experimental or
tenative election.
Should Stand by Law.
He also thought that the people
"who are clamoring loudest for the
enforcement of law should abide by
the law as enacted by the legislature
relative to elections." He could not
believe that they had any right to at
tack property and to over turn cus
toms that' had grown through hun
dreds of years or that they had any
business breaking up the means by
which men earned their bread and
butter.
He thought that the county clerk
was very obliging to the women who
asked him to call the election and felt
that the official had gallantly done
so, but that he did not have the auth
ority to do so under the law. He
spoke of the efforts of the "fair sex
to uplifht and elevate the moral,
spiritual, and general tone" of the
community and commended them for
it but thought that the property in
terests of the saloon men were worth
something and had he right to be con
sidered. Amend Charters.
John Carson, the Salem attorney,
thought that the cities of the valley
whose elections do not come on the
dates of the general state elections
could , change those dates by charter
amendments and make their form of
government conform more closely to
the provisions of the state law. He
believed that such a step would le
simple and easy and that it would be
little trouble to make the alteration
in order to allow the people to con
sider the question at such a time.
In his argument, Chris Schubel,
contended that the only way such an
action could be brought in the courts
of the state was on the relation of the
attorney general or the county attor
neys of the several counties. He
held that the county attorney must be
made a party to the action and that
Lawrence Ruconich, for instance,
would have to be the relator in the
action in the same way that the suit
against the water board was brought
in the circuit court when John Al
bright was named relator.
Gilbert L. Hedges appeared as coun
sel for the county court and B. N.
Hicks, C. Schubel, C. H. Dye as spe
cial attorneys, while D. C. Latourette
and John Carson represented the sa
loons. The hearing was held on the
demurrer filed by the drys on the
amended complaint of the wets and
results in throwing their suit out of
court. The case was instantly appeal
ed to the supreme court of the state.

PULP COMBINE FORMED
WITH COAST CAPITAL
VANCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 11. Com,
mencing with a proposal to reorganize
the Ocean Falls Pulp & Paper Com
pany, a plan has been worked out for
the virtual amalgamation of that con
cern with a new combination of the
chief pulp and paper concerns of the
Pacific coast on both sdes of the in
ternational boundary. The deal is a
very big one, for it involves the in
vestment by Portland, Seattle and Sau
Francisco capitalists of an initial fund
of $3,000,800 to build a paper mill at
the Ocean Falls headquarters, which
is situated 200 miles north of Van
couver on the British Columbia coast.
The Ocean Falls concern owns an
enormous pulp holding along the.
northern coast. It is mostly unde-'
veloped, though about $4,000,000 in
British shareholders' money has been
invested in erecting sawmill, wharves,
offices, etc., and equipping them. The
promoter was Lester W. David, a well
known promoter of Portland and Se
attle. There are 80,000 acres of tim
ber land, valuable water powers, etc.
Early last summer the Ocean Falls
people met financial difficulties and
following suits brought against them
by the Crane company of Chicago and
the Diamond Rubber company, the
new plant was closed down. Now in
the reorganization scheme, an agree
ment has been entered into by the
British bondholders with Messrs. Her
bert Fleishhacker, Mortimer Fleish
hacker and William Pierce Johnson of
San Francisco, presdent of the Will
amette Pulp & Paper Co., whereby the
Ocean Falls plant is to go into ' the
hands of a new. combination of Pa
cific coast pulp and paper interests.
It is proposed to form an amalgama

miles north of Vancouver, now in op
eration, the Crown-Columbia Paper
company of Portland and the Quat
sino Sound Pulp company together
with the Ocean Falls. The Quastino
Sound property is very large but un
developed. The prospective new own
ers of the three British Columbia con
cerns would be in control of the en
tire pulp and paper industry of the
province. This would easily main
tain that position for their property
contains a very large percentage of
the best timber lands on the Canad

By the provisional agreement, the
group of Pacific coast capitalists have
now guarantee 50 per cent of the
bonds of the Ocean Falls company
and will immediately supply $3,000,
