THE SIORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1903. MISSION Of PEACE Coast League May Join Minor League Association. HARRIS AND MORLEY GO EAST Last of the Outside licacrneii May Fall in Line n Result of , Overtures Reduction in Players' Salaries "Will Be Consequence. SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. (Special.) Indications point to a decided flurry In the baseball atmosphere In the near future, although the magnates are loth to say what the disturbance will be". Today there was a gathering o the clans. Harris and Ewlng were already on the ground and Fisher and Morley came from Los Angeles. There was a long consultation and tonight Harris announced that he was going East tomorrow, via Portland, on business of importance to the Pacific Coast league, with a probable conference at Chicago or some other large Eastern city with representatives of the major leagues. Morley is also going East. The Minor League Association is still bending every effort toward Including the Coast League in the organization and thus closing up the last gap. Business In the Eastern circuits has been far from en couraging this Summer, and the backers of teams are of the unanimous opinion that players are receiving too much money. There has been some talk of re newing contracts In the big leagues next seaspn at greatly reduced salaries, and this cannot be carried out while a single prosperous organization is without the pale. Manager Harris, the acknowledged head of the Coast League, has always been a TDellever In one big organization to con trol players and adjust all differences that may arise, fcut could not see his way clear to joining hands under the terms offered. It is judged, therefore, that some new Inducements have been ad vanced to the Coast people anu that peace is a matter of weeks only. XATIOXAI, LEAGUE. Standing of the Clubs. Won. Lost. P.C.

RAILROAD GIANTS WAR STARTED TVHEX MORGAN AND GOULD INTERESTS CLASHED. Dream of a. Nctt Line to the Pacific Standard Oil Millions Helping:. An article from the May Cosmopolitan is Interesting Just now from the fact that the Pennsylvania Railway, In which Morgan and others are Interested, Is wag ing war upon the Western Union, a favor ite Gould property. When Jay Gould died George Gould was given the power of voting the Missouri Pacific. Manhattan, Wabash and Western Union "stock. The article says: Scarcely had this "Young Napoleon of Finance" taken hold of the vast interests entrusted to his care than he had a serious altercation with J. Pierpont Morgan over the proposed purchase of the New York & Northern Railroad by the Manhattan Elevated Railroad. Gould left Morgan's offices much angered, and Is said never GEORGE ("SPEC") HURLBURT, WHO to have entered them again .from that day to this. One of Jay Gould's Intimate friends, hearing of this circumstance, vol unteered a bit of advice to the young man in about thews words: "George, as an admirer of your father, and as one interested in your highest welfare, I seriously hope you will not commit the blunder at the beginning of your career of antagonizing the leading Interests in the business world." George said nothing, but evidently It set him to thinking. That "remarkable business ability," for which a fond father gave him credit, not long afterward de veloped in a way that showed he waa possessed of an acuteness that no on dreamed of. If he should not antagonize, thought he, he should make alliances with the great powers in the business world. But he had broken with Morgan. He should, therefore, join Issues- with oth ers equally great, or greater, If possi ble. Ho turned to the Rockefellers, those commercial giants whose supremacy has been unchallenged for more than a dec ade. Much has been said during the last year or two of the financial backing which the Standard Oil interests havo been giving to Gould. Hewho can an swer this question accurately will be able to foretell the outcome of the battle of railroad giants which is now in pro gress at both extremities of the United States in the effort to block the efforts of the aggressive successor of Jay Gould in getting Atlantic and Pacific terminals for his ambitious transcontinental sys tem. The Gould family fortunes began to expand at a rapid rate with the boom that set in at the opening of the war with Spain. Most other corporations ben efited in like manner. But It has been since George cast his lot with the Rocke fellers that he has 'leaped into the front ranks and become one of the leading forces of the railroad world. By enlist ing the backing o these capitalists he placed himself in a position where he could Ignore, in a measure, the advice of his father's friend, previously mentioned. It was a most comprehensive and daring programme that he mapped out for him self, but one worthy of his distinguished father, and which would have highly pleased the latter. Jay Gould left a rail road system of less than 6000 miles, ex tending from Toledo and Chicago to Den ver and El Paso. George decided to take up the work- where his father left off and extend the system to the Atlantic and tsssssssssBSssssssssssssssssHlSlff&t -A 'BBHes5bsH9bssssssssK BssssssssssssssssssssssssssssfcssflPlH ' ' flHHHnsssssssssssssssssssl sssssssfHssssssssssssssssssRai SQbHbssssssssssbsH bsbssssssssssssssssBbIKu 39H9sassssssssssssssssBsBH HIIIHIIIcHIIHsBHsHi HIhB Pacific Oceans. He would double the mileage, making it one of the great trans continental systems if not the 'greatest. He would tap eyery . Important city on the way, no matter what opposition, he encountered. Perhaps he did not realize how large a contract he had undertaken, but, hav ing once entered on it, he never turned his face to the right- or to the left He submitted his plans to John D. Rocke feller, who thought well of them and promised assistance. Gould also enlisted the assistance of that other commercial giant, Andrew Carnegie, In his proposed extension into Pittsburg and to the At lantic scabord. Carnegie at that time was fighting the Pennsylvania railroad. The Steel Trust had not yet been organ ized. Carnegie agreed to take an Interest In the line that was to be built from Pittsburg to a junction with the Wheel ing & Lake Erie, which had recently been bought by the Wabash, a Gould road. It was through Gould's shrewdness that the great Scotchman was prevailed on to make a contract whereby the Car negie Steel Company would, for a term of years, turn over a quarter of the tonnage of that great establishment to the Gould lines. This amounts to some thing like four million tons a year, or enough to guarantee the success pf the. new road from the start and furnish a FILLS A GAP IN RIGHT FIELD handsome profit to the other roads Iden tified with this group. George Gould brought down upon his head the wrath of the Pennsylvania rail road, whose business wpuld be seriously menaced by the encroachment of the new lines into .the State of Pennsylvania and contiguous territory. The Pennsylvania Company called upon Messrs. Morgan and Vanderbilt to help it in keeping out the common foe. 'All alike would suffer if Gould reached the Atlantic seaboard and demoralized rates, as new roads are apt to do. The Pennsylvania contested the Wabash's extension into Pittsburg every foot of the way, and sought to injure the young financier by throwing tho Western Union Telegraph Company from Its ro id way and turning the valuable franchise over to the Postal Telegraph Company. Morgan used his power to prevent Gould from buying up any of the Eastern trunk lines running into New York City, as the latter threatened to do. Gould would have taken either the Reading- or the Erie, but Mr. Morgan said "No." Preparatory to his extension westward to the Pacific Coast, Gould bought the Denver & Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western, thus getting Into Ogden.. He iJ back of the Western Pacific Railroad, for which a franchise was recently obtained for the construction of a line between Utah and San Francisco or possibly Southern California. This aroused the Ire of Edward H. Harriman, the monarch of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific systems, who naturally wants to pre vent any further competition In territory, which is largely controlled by his lines. One of John D. Rockefeller's most trusted associates, speaking of Mr. Gould, recently said: George Gould has suc ceeded In winning the friendship of Mr. Rockefeller to a very marked degree, and I believe the latter has much confidence in Mr. Gould's ability." At the time of this utterance Mr. Rockefeller was one of the largest stockholders of the Mis souri Pacific, tho principal Gould prop erty. It was in the management of the South western railroads that Gould first had c chanco to become Intimate with Mr , Rockefeller, and the way In which he availed himself of It showed his alertness to take advantage of an opportunity which sometimes come but once in a life time. The Rockefellers control the Mis souri, Kansas & Texas Railroad, which Is a competing line of the Missouri Pacific. George went to Mr. Rockefeller and as sured the latter, who had the advantage of years -on nis shoulders, and who had risen to be a captain of one of the great est Industries In the world, that he wanted to run the Gould Southwestern roads In a way that would be harmonious to the Rockefeller roads, and he wanted the lat ter's -advice as to how It might best be done. It was the attitude of pupil to ward teachers, and Mr. Rockefeller prized the confidence reposed in him. Gould was apparently very sincere In all of his dealings with Mr. Rockefeller, and the friendship grew. From year to year the Rockefeller millions have been poured Into the various Gold schemes. This slight but athletic young man of about 40 years has accomplished enough in a decade to do credit to half a dozen robust men combined. While training under his father he had patiently learned all of the details, having even become an expert telegraph' operator, and having been able to give Russell Sage points on the cost of spikes and cross-tlis when bills were to be audited. The re sults speak for themselves. Two Points of Vlevr. Chicago Chronicle. It Tan not to have been bsllevtxl that any con siderable number of union worklngmen would express any other feelings than those. of in dignation and dijgust at the tactics recom mended by the clrclar lately distributed and purported to emanate from striking- freight handlers. The circular In question urged that no further supplies be delivered to the wives and families of the men who are working in the Alton frelghthouses. It was frankly a recommendation that tho women and children be starved In order that pressure might thus be brought to bear upon the husbands and fathers who were working for their support. One would be loath to believe that any con siderable number of American worklngmen would give countenance to such methods. Ev en manly trades unionist would scorn to make war on women and children. Chicago Dally News. This is the sort" of twaddle which a large section of the press of Chicago admin isters to the people of this town In pretty regular doses. If the labor unions "scorn to make war on women and children" why to they do It? If the labor unions are so manly, why do they show themselves on every possible occasion to be cowards? If tho labor unions do not believe In thug gery and murder. In violence anci menace, why Is it that they resort to them and never have a strike without them? The cowards are not atf In the labor unions by any means. The newspaper offices have more than their shore of them.

NEW YORK, July 6. The Shamrock III covered . a 30-mlle course off Sandy Hook today 6 minutes and IS seconds faster, than the Shamrock I.

Clar skies and an eight-knot south- southwest wind, freshening to 12 knots at the finish, made splendid racing condi tions. The course was east by north. With sheets well oft before a freshening wind over her quarter, the Shamrock III slowly drew ahead of the old challenger until, when they approached the turn, the new boat was setting a 10-knot pace and leading by two-thirds of a mile, nav- lng gained about four minutes on the old est in it.

This, according to the man- ager of a new method laundry on the West Side, Is because the washerman can get through more work in less time than the washerwoman, and also because the men in the family like the idea of having their shirts done at home. Then, If there is any fault to be found with torn button holes or with designs Ironed all crooked on a colored shirt,' the grumbling .can be done on the premises. This Information was disclosed to a re porter by the "new method" man who had advertised for a "perfect ironer of shirts." It was specifically stated that '"no women need apply." Several women did, never theless, only to be sent away Tie liLlJn" dry is In the heart of the West Side boarding-house district, and its chief stock in trade is the custom of men who are willing to pay 2 or 3 cents more than the average price In order to get their work done satisfactorily. "Very few women are strong enough to Iron a shirt," he said., "They cannot do It any more' than they can throw straight. Their shoulders are not built for it. Shirt Ironing Is a very different business now from what lti was in the days of our fathers. The high-grade colored shirt, with its intricate designs and cuffs at- tached, must be handled not only by a man. but bV a man WhO knOWS hlS bUSl- ness. A poor Ironer will make the bosom bulge up near the collar, get the designs all askew and make the straight stripes on the bosom look as crooked as a bar ber's pole.

It Is only men who can afford to be very lib eral in their laundry bill who wear shirts with cuffs attached. They may be all right in England, but they are not suit able for this climate, particularly In the Summer. Still a number of them come In with the week's wash. "A good man will Iron about SO high grade shirts In a day's work, taking them as they come, white and colored. Some of them 'will do this In seven or eight hours, DANNY SHEA, SUBSTITUTE WHO CAUGHT A BRILLLAXT GAME SUNDAY. and others will take nine hours. There are fast arid slow men in this business, as In all others. When the number of shirts allotted to them are done their day's work Is done. I have known men to do 100 high grade shirts in eight hours, but they were after a record. No shirt ironer could work steadily at that pace. "Chinamen? Well, wo don't consider them In our class. But the poorest white man Ironer I ever saw can knock out the best Chinese ironer. The Chinaman does everything In the reverse-method of tho American, and shirt Ironing Is no excep tion.

Still he has qualities that seem to please a great many persons: not the least among them being cheapness. "It Is quite true that a number of New York families prefer men to do their home washing instead of women. But it Is also true that many good shirt lroners are un able to handle the lighter garments as well as women, and that they are glad to get back to shop work. Sometimes the family wnsherman Is hired exclusively by the family. Others are sent by laundry firms, who do family washings by con tract and who prefer men to women. But in large private houses and hotels the old fashioned family washboard and tub are altogether things of the past. They have been replaced by machinery and steam dryers, which men can handle better than women." AS TO EXPOSITIONS. Good Word for the Lewis and Clark 1005 Fair. Successful American. Buffalo's experience In the exposition line Is not very encouraging to other cities with like ambition, the loss sustained at the late Pan-American Fair exceeding. It Is said $4,000,000. The exposition was cer tainly deserving of success in all respects, but the frequency of such attractions of iate vears tented to lessen eeneral inter- Louis Exposition of 1904. This new ven ture Is proposed to be held in Portland. Or., to commemorate the centennial anni versary of the Lewis and Clark expedi tion. This expedition, under the patron age of the National Government, went westward from St. Louis, and reached the shores of the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1S05.

The Early Straggle of the Poet as Related by Himself. A Paris Temps reporter who has Inter viewed Maeterlinck, the so-called "Bel gian Shakespeare," thus describes the fa mous man's personality and appearance: "Maeterlinck is not a writer of Joy. His enter personality has a something that Is grave, gentle and pensive. His eves re- ' maln ior a lonS tlme silent and attentive; his speech is hesitating; one feels that It has not the full confidence of his thought, which loves better another Inter preter, more docile and more patient, his pen." His schoolboy years left a disagreeable impression on the poet. He says: "I learned Greek and Latin. My college years have left behind them no pleasant sou venirs. The discipline and the methods of Jesuits are repugnant to my spirit and rliarflrfpp T7Vr Inatnnr no m!tVif motro all the Latin verses we wished: on th f other hand, we were forbidden to read ; the French poets.

Maeterlinck's first drama, "La Prlncesse I Molene," was printed by hand, the poet work; tho family were pitied for having such a ne'er-do-weel of a son. Then came a-.turn in his fortunes, with the praise of Octave Mlrbeau, in Figaro. Then (he knew English well) he began reading Shake speare, and "seemed to penetrate into a sacred grove." It opened a new world to him. and revolutionized his Ideals. Then came the recognition of the whole literary world, and success to his heart s content.

Our methods appeal particularly to men who have tried other treat ments to meet with disappoint ment, or, at least, only temporary relief. We wish to Impress upon these men the fact that our su perior skill justifies us in making men's diseases our specialty. We wish to prove conclusively that we are not offering treatment such as most physicians are able to give. No matter If other doctors have failed to cure you. feel fully assured that If we accept your case the treatment given will be absolutely scientific and fully effective. Contracted Disorders If you care to be cured thoroughly and beyond the possibility of a re lapse or a chronic stage, yon should come directly to us for treatment. We have cured so many cases that we know exactly how to handle them. Our remedies are unlike the ordinary, and we cure in about half the usual time required. Stricture Painless treatment that dissolves the obstructing tissue and renders cutting or dilating unnecessary. "Weakness'1 If other physicians have treated you for so-called "weakness" you were probably only temporarily vhelped If at all. and the reason Is very apparent when the cause of loss of power in man Is understood. "Weakness" Isn't a weakness at all in a literal sense, but Is merely a symptom of chronic inflammation in the prostate gland. Our system of treatment, which Is mainly a local one, removes this inflamma tion, and is the only known method that has ever permanently restored strength and vigor. Varicocele Do not submit to an operation for varicocele. Our system of painless treatment cures soundly, without cutting, ligature or caustic. No failures, and the patient need not be detained a single day from his business. Specific Blood Poison We drive the very last taint of virus from tho system, using only the most harmless blood-cleansing remedies. Consultation Is free at office.
