T. P. A. day and ladles day brought out
a crowd of about 3000 people to see Port
land win its second ball game from Spo
kane and move up to a tie for first place
with Seattle for the pennant. Seattle
yesterday lost to Tacoma and dropped to
.667, and Portland's victory pulled them
up to the same notch.
Both teams played good ball, and .after
8 Innings Spokane was retired with one
earned run to its credit,, while the Port
land boys managed to send three of their
number across the plate. Salisbury made
his first appearance since rejoining the
team, and pitched it to victory. In the
fourth inning only did the visiting gentle
men from the Falls City find the key to
Salisbury's curves. Then McLaughlin
started with a two-bagger, and was
brought home by hits by Elsey and Mc
Kqvltt. After that the bunchgrassers got
but one hit. In the fourth "Sal" showed
a sign of weakening and gave two passes,
but he recovered himself, as he did last
year, and was soon back in his old style.
Kostal pitched good ball for Spokane,
and kept the hits made by the home team
well scattered. He was, however, a little
too free with his passes to first.
The fielding by both teams was excel
lent, and none of the three errors was
costly. Howell again distinguished him
self by making another running catch of
one -of Vigneux's foul flies. Green and
Elsey made a neat double for the visitors.
Muller opened the game by taking a
pass to first. A sacrifice by Delsel put
him on second, and Van Buren's hit on
third. Van stole second, and Anderson
took the second pass and filled the bases.
Hupp came to the bat and hit to Reitz,
who, instead of throwing home to cut off
Muller, retired Hupp at first, and Muller
scored.
Again in the second Portland scored.
Manager Sammy Vlgneux received a bou
quet, which inspired him to make a hit.
Salisbury followed, sending a slow bunt
toward third base, while he reached first
in safety. Muller went out, and Delsel
walked to first and filled the bases. Van
Buren put a hot liner out to Reitz, who
made a beautiful stop and caught "Reu
ben" at first, while Vlgneux scored. In
the fifth Anderson and Hupp each made
hits. Hupp was put out, while "Weed hit
to Green. Frary threw to catch Weed,
who was stealing second, but Reitz
dropped the ball, and Anderson took the
chance and scored.
The score:

Academic Game Postponed.
The game scheduled for Saturday be

next week on account of the Hunt ClUb
meet.
HUNT CLUB IN GREAT FORM.
All the Participants In Training: for
the Great Event.
The final rehearsal of the class exer
cises of the Hunt Club, under the leader
ship of Professor Nlcol, was held last
evening at the Irvington track, and all of
the intricate movements and figures were
performed to perfection. This is some
thing entirely new in the country. Twelve
gentlemen and 12 ladies, mounted take
part In the event, which will be one'of the
most interesting on the programme. The
class has devoted a great deal of time to
achieving the perfection they have ob
tained In the exercises and figures, includ
ing1 walking, trotting and running in uni
son. Professor Nlcol has passed many
sleepless nights devising these new and
beautiful figures, and his brain has been
so contorted on this account that he is
no longer able to walk in a straight line.
It has been noticed that the riders in
the Junior race have been haunting the
window where the prizes are displayed,
and several of them have already decided
J which they Intend to carry off, and In fac
have gone so far as to contract for en
graving their names on the cups, etc,
that they have chosen. Hamilton Corbett,
riding "Winnie," seems to be a favorite,
and is doing some hard training with good
results, but some think that Leslie Oli
ver on "Jim Budd" will give him a close
race, if he does not come under tho wire
first.
it has been surmised that several of .the
riders were doing considerable training
on the outside, but it was not definitely
known to the committee that such was the
caso until yesterday, when word came to
them from a Chinaman living on Llnnton
road that Leo Neustadter and A. M. Crp
nln -were discovered by him yesterday
morning at 3 o'clock with their boots off,
training their horses with ,a one-pound
saddle. This matter is going to be closely
Investigated by a Deputy Sheriff, as It
is not considered fair by the other rldersr
and it is expected that the committee
will meet today to take action in the mat
ter. F. W. Leadbeter, on "Rockefeller,"
was discovered In the woods east of Irv
Ington yesterday afternoon, exercising his
horse for the hurdle race. After "taking"
several fallen trees and five-barred fences,
he felt so encouraged that he took a
email water Jump, but, miscalculating
the distance, he found it neecssary to
employ a farmer to bring him home
through the back streets. The horse and
rider, however, have fully recovered, and
it is anticipated will make one of the
closest contests of the day. Brown's band
will be in attendance, and a fine musical
programme will be (rendered.

BRITISH REMOUNT CAMP
NO VIOLATION OF THE NEUTRALITY
LAWS.
Colonel Crowder' Report . on His
Investigation at Port
Chalmette, La.
WASHINGTON, June 5-The President
today sent to the House the report of
Colonel Crowder. who made the Investi
gation of the charges of Governor Heard,
o Louisiana, that the neutrality laws
were being violated at Chalmette, La.
Secretary Hay. in a letter to the Gov
ernor of Loulsana, dated June 3, sums up
the main facts nn fnnnri Yiv Cnfnnol nrnTtr-
der. and also gives the rules of interna-VIble
tlonal usage respecting the sale of goods
to parties at war, Mr. Hay says the seri
ous point In tho charges submitted by
Mr. Pearson, and by the Boer legislative
committee of Philadelphia was that tho
British authorities had eflllsted men in
this country for service In South Africa.
The Government made particular efforts
to find out If there was any basis for the
charge, but Mr. Hay says that Colonel
Crowder's reports show that not a single
instance could be discovered by him.
Moreover, the Attorney-General on May
12 requested the Boer legislative commit
tee for evidence which would substantiate
this charge, but received no information
from them on this point Mr. Hay says
that this charge must be considered, not
only as unproved, but as having been
made without the slightest pretense of
Justification or proof. Continuing, he
says:
"What has been found is that certain
officers of the British Army, acting in
the capacity of purchasing agents and
Inspectors, have been engaged in the work
of buying, collecting and Inspecting horses
and mulos at different places In the
United States and shipping them from
Chalmette to South Africa. There have
been 13 of these officers. The British Gov
ernment some time since ordered the re
call of all of them. The shipments of
mules and horses have been continuous,
month after month, since the outbreak of
the war. The vessels in which they were
shipped were of private ownership and
not under the control of the British Gov
ernment, and have not the character of
military or naval transports. Chalmette
was not a military camp or poat nor a
base of military supplies, as the terms
ate defined by standard military authori
ties; nor In any sense save such as would
make a flouring mill or a packing-house
a base of military supplies If flour or
canned meat were shipped from either
through a series of months to any bel
ligerent power. Chalmette was simply a
shipping station for the loading and ship
ping of mules."
Mr. Hay next addressed himself to the
law In the matter, and says our duty has
been laid down again and again. In con
clusion he says:
"The President regards It as evident. In
view of the quotations given above, that
what was asked for by Mr. Pearson was
the reversal of the consistent policy of
the United States since the formation of
our Government. The right of our citizens
to sell horses and mules and to ship them
from New Orleans to any other port Is as
undoubted as their right to ship flour and
meat,, whether for the use of the civilians
or soldiers of the country of either bellig
erent. There Is no shadow of excuse for
the claim that there has been any viola
tion of the duties and obligations of neu
trality on the part of this Naton."
Colonel Crowder's report is an elaborate
presentation of the conditions existing at
Chalmette. He sums up his findings of
fact under six heads, which are substan
tially as follows:
L The British Remount Commission,
officers of which are operating 'and. li
recting purchases and shipments of 'sup
plies In the United States. Is a bureau of
the English Army administration.
2. As organized by these officers. Chal
mette station Is a governmental shipping
agency for but one class of military sup
plies, and It has not the character of a
base of military supplies, nor that of a
military camp orposU
3. No attempts to recruit to the Brit
ish Army have been made at Chalmette
station, nor does the evidence disclose any
such attempts at other points In the
United States. A few muleteers were re
cruited, but this was against the orders
of the British Government
4. All shipments have been from the
.port of New Orleans to South African
ports upon vessels chartered by the Brit
ish Admiralty under ordinary commercial
charters.
5. The transactions of the camp aggre
gated $7,933,53) from October, 1S09, to
March, 1902, with an averaged monthly
value of J397.97S. The total shipments are
given at SS.CSS horses and 75.10S mules, 65
different vessels being engaged in tho
trade, making 166 voyages.
6. All supplies have been for the use
of the English Army In South Africa, the
trade having no existence prior to the
war.
Colonel Crowder adds that the port of
New Orleans was extensively used in 1896
97 to supply the Spanish -Army, then en
gaged in prosecuting nosuuues m (judo.

KANSAS CITY. June 5,-vThe Journal to
morrow will say:
Lleutenant-Gcneral Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the Army, passed through
Kansas City last night, on his way frcrn
Fort Riley to Washington, called there
by President Roosevelt and threatened
with an immediate court-martial on a
charge of having betrayed official sejerets.
General Miles went through here the day
before, attended by several other members
of a board convened to observe long-range
gun tests at Fort Riley, to beso engaged
for .several days, and he came back yes
terday afternoon entirely alone, and in
such haste hat he had not even reserved
a sleeping-car berth.
A Journal reporter read to General Miles
a special dispatch, saying that he was
suspected in the White House of having
furnished details of the scandal involving
Lieutenant Arnold to Senator Culberson.
General Miles' comment was: "Senator
Culberson seems to have made an answer
as full as one could make, and as explicit
as Senator Beverldge or any one could de
mand." "But for yourself. General?"
"I repeat thai Senator Culberson seems
to have made the reply for which you are
asking."
'There is a second dispatch. General,"
was then remarked, "to the effect that
you are peremptorily ordered back to
Washington to face charges."
General Miles would make no' reply to
this. He left for Washington at C:S0 last
night, a short time after his arrival from
Fort Riley. While herehe did not leave
the Union Station.
CUBAX RELIEF PROPOSAL.
Beet-Sugar Senators Hold Ont for
Their Rebate Plan.
WASHINGTON, June 5. The committee
appointed" by the beet-sugar Senators, con
sisUng of Senators Elklns, Burrows and
Jones (Nev.), to confer with the Repub"
llcan members of the Senate committee
on relations with Cuba, to decide on the
degree of relief to be given to the Cubans
in the way of tariff concessions or other
wise, had its first meeting with that
committee today. The meeting was at
tended on the part of the committee ry
Senators Piatt (N. Y.) Cullom and Spoon
cr. The conference extended over a pe
riod of two hours' time, but no agreement
was reached, and an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow.
The proposition to grant a rebate on Cu
ban products was made by the beet-sugar
rcpfesentaUves, and most of the time was
devoted to the discussion of it. The rep
resentatives of the beet-sugar Interest
united In the assurance that there would
bo no difficulty in securing substantial
unanimity In support of the rebate plan,
but said, in effect, that it would be im
possible to secure solid representation in
support of any plan for tariff reduction,
owing to the serious effect on the Infant
Industry of beet sugar.
The proposition was not flatly rejected
by Piatt, but he stated on behalf of the
majority of the committee that he was
not prepared or disposed to accept it. He
contended that the proposed reduction
would not Injure the beet-sugar interests.
The conference for a time took the shape
of a discussion of the wisdom of a general
revision of the tariff, but it was generally
agreed that this was not desirable from
any point of view. The beet-sugar men
urged that there was no more reason for a
reduction of the duty on sugar and tobac
co than upon other commodities. They
contended that it would be unfair to make
a reduction on those articles and not on
others, and said that if the pending legis
lation should be enacted into law. the
Republican party would be held respon-
'or legislation affecting the farming
interests adversely.

Consul at Mnrtlalqne.
WASHINGTON. June 5. The President

tinique. HUMBERT SWINDLE.
Probably Had Its Start at Coving
ton, Ky.
CINCINNATI, O., June 5. The Enquir
er says the Humbert-Crawford sensa
tion of Paris probably had its start at
Covington, Ky., and that French detec
tives are now here working under instruc
tions from Paris, and also under tele
graphic advices from Washington, through
Eugene Polcey, the French Consul at
Cincinnati. It If asserted that M. Katin,
who taught French at Covington .years
ago, and afterward returned to Paris,
has advised the French Government all
about the Crawfords. whom he formerly
knew while living in Covington. Frank
Devenck, an nrtist in Cincinnati, who re
sides In Covington and knew the Craw
fords, has gone to Paris to assist in the
Investigation that has been started by M.
Katin, who is now in the employ of the
Frencn Government.
Four Crawford brothers lived In Cov
ington until the early SOs, when they left
there and two of them went to Paris.
The French Government had Information
that they may have been the men named
in the golden-sealed and Impressive
looking document exhibited by the Hum
berts to the great financiers. The broth
ers were John. Henry. Matthew and Rob
ert. John died years ago, leaving three
brothers. In the early SOs Henry went
to "Kansas City and was City Clerk there.
Matthew and Robert went abroad, and
are supposed to have lived In Paris. Every
circumstance indicates that they are the
men whom the Humberts named as the
nephews who were contesting the Craw
ford win, and who were preventing the
Humberts from coming Into possession of
the great estates. The Crawfords were
considered a wealthy family In Coving
ton and it was unerstood that they had
a rich uncle. The story as related by
the Humberts to" the bankers is practi
cally the same story of the Important
events In the lives of the Covington Craw
fords. Story Founded on a Fraud.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 5. According
to Henry Crawford, of this city, one of
the brothers connected with the big Humbert-Crawford
sensation in Paris, the
swindle wherein several million dollars
were secured from Paris bankers on tne
strength of a supposed 120.000,000 estate
left by R. H. Crawford, the whole story
was founded on a fraud. He says there
never was an R. H. Crawford In the fam
ily; no member of the family ever died
possessed of a $20,000,000 estate, and there
was never any contest over any estate
in the Crawford family. Henry Crawford
Is an ex-City Auditor of this city, and has
been for yearn prominent in local politics.
He has lived here since 1SSS. His brother,
Matthew Crawford, ol Louisville, waa
formerly a resident of this city, where
he was president of the Aetna National
Bank. '
"Whoever Is responsible for the swin
dle." he sold tonight, "evidently knows
the details of the Crawford family, but
the fundamental facts regarding the
swindle show that it Is based on a fraud
pure and simple. There can be no con
nection between our family and the par
tics to the swindle. In the first place,
we never had a Robert Crawford In our
family. Robert is not a family name.
The dispatches say that the uncle who
died waa named Robert and that there
were four nephews, of whom a Robert
was dead. These statements arc entirely
wrong. There were only three brothers
of us. and two of iia have never been
abroad."
Mine. Humbert's Brother Arrested.
PARIS, June 5. Louis D'Aurlgnac, a
brother of Mme. Humbert, who is con
cerned in the famous. Humbert-Crawford

the Humbert family, has placed 3,700,000
francs at the disposal of the French au
thorities for the benefit of the victims
of the alleged Humbert-Crawford frauds.

worth $225 and $230, and thre are two splendid instruments for

and $375. The price in every instance makes each a genuine bar
gain. . Just now there are numerous pianos even below $100, some
ranging from $135 to $225, and others at prices between $215 and
$300. Many celebrated makes are represented among this stock,

TO FIND YOUR WAY.
If You Rend Their Slsrni, the Trees
Arc Good Compasses.
St. Nicholas.
When you discover that you are lost,
first stop and pull yourself together. Re
call the direction in which you started
from camp whether you went north,
south,, east or west. You can always do
this If you try. The next step is to fix the
points of the compass. When that is done,
you will be able to go In the general di
rection you wish. Find a mature tree that
stands apart from. Its fellows. Even If it
1 sonly slightly separated it will do. The
bark of this tree will be harder, drier and
lighter in color on the south side. On the
north It will be darker, and often- at the
roots will have a clump of mould or mof.
On tho south sides of all evergreen trees
gum, which oozes from wounds or knot
holes, will be hard and amber-colored; on
the north this gum is softer, gets covered
with dust and Is of a dirty gray. In Fall
or Winter trees which show a rough bark
will have nests of Insects in the crevices
on their south sides. A tree which stands
in the open will have its larger limbs and
rougher bark on the south side. You have
many evergreens in your pari or: me
country cone-bearlng, or coniferous trees
firs, spruces, cedars, hemlocks pines.
They ougjit to be good compasses. Hard
wood trees the oak. the ash, elms, hicko
ries, mesqults and so forth have moss and
mould on the north. Leaves are smaller,
tougher, lighter In color and with darker
veins on the south; on the north they are
longer, of darker green and with lighter
veins. Spiders build on the south sides.
In the South air plants attach themselves
to the north sides. Cedars bend their
tips to the south. Any sawed or cut
stump will give you the compass points,
because the concentric rings are thicker
on the south side. The heart of tho
stump Is thus nearer to the north side.
All these things are the effects of sun.
Stones are bare on the south side, and
if they have moss at all It will be on the
north. At best, on the sunny side only a
thin covering of harsh, half-dry moss will
be found. 'On the south side of a hill the
ground is more noisy underfoot. On the
north side ferns, mosses and late flowers
grow. If you are on a march small bushes
will give you the lesson; their leaves and
limbs show the same differences. Almost
all wild flowers turn their faces to the
south. There are many other signs, but I
reckon you will find these enough.
