Joo Corbett had no idea that he was
taking a lease on the house of too much
troublo when he faced the Browns yes
terday afternoon in the closing Sabbath i
class-meeting. Neither did liittle Brother
dream that his ball-playing companions
from the city of discontent would take
part in such a generous donation party,
for tho locals trimmed the Loo Loos to
the good old Mosquito League score of 11
to 5.
The day was ideal for good ball and
tho 4756 of the faithful on hand to enjoy
tho game. The bloodhounds in the bleach.
era were strong lunged and In perfect
voice and when the visitors got off in tho
lead with three runs, coveted off four
safo blngles; they turned their tuneless
voices upon Umpire JaA O'Connell. In
the fifth and sixth irlngs, Los Angeles
made two more runs ,nd the game looked
as good to them as Jl piece of jelly cake
to a hungry tramp. The Browns man
aged to shove a run over In their half
of the fifth and the fan populace waxed
happy because all fears of a shut-out
went by the board. No one, not even tho
Browns, expected what was to happen in
their half of the sixth.
Nadeau uncorked the trouble with a
Single to left and before the Browns
went Into retirement it became his pleas
ure again to pelt out a single and to
score two of the nine runs which were
chased over tho pan in that stirring
comedy of errors. "Wheeler and Raymond
had to do with Buck Freeman's score
and when thoso two players pulled off
their bumble ball stunt It was the signal
for the merriest lot of both In and out
Held fumbling ever witnessed on tho
Vaughn-street grounds. Twelve Browns
faced Corbett before the inning was put
on Ice and tho crowd, whose temper had
been turned from sour to sweet, howled
so long and loud that their tonsils began
to play tag with their bronchial tubes.
It was Los Angeles' time to go bal
looning and they took an ascension that
was a triple-plate beauty. If tho Loo
Loos' bunch weren't so well known they
might have been charged with laying
down, but they didn't, they simply crum
bled to pieces like an ocean scud whipped
by a gale. Smith found one of Butler's
"benders In the seventh, but Boss com
mitted murder and suicide by butting In
to a double play. Kid Raymond hit safe
ly in the eighth, but one was down and
two moro quickly followed suit and that
egony was over. Dillon clouted out a
two-bagger in the ninth, but two wero
out this time, and Cravath, who had
pelted a ball over the fence in the fifth
Inning, hit out a long fly to Nadeau and
the whispering one took it off the fence.
It was tho last ball hit and caught and
tho season of 1903 became history with
3Cadeau's catch.
This morning four ball teams will leave
lor the final series in the South. Seattle
and San Francisco will come from Seattle
iand tho Browns and Los Angeles will
leave hare. The Browns have one week
In San Francisco. From there they will
go to Los Angeles for two weeks and
then close the season 'with Sacramento.

Baltimore Voters Are Apprehensive,
Owing to Stringent Laws.
1 BALTIMORE, Nov. L Today was a day
of absolute rest to the campaign leaders
on both sides and to the various candi
dates. The campaign headquarters wero
tightly closed andTthere was not a con
ference of any sort by the managers. Such
of the state candidates and leaders, the
latter Including Senator Gorman, as live
near Baltimore spent Sunday In the quie
tude of their country homes. .
There were no campaign developments
whatever. The feellng-among voters gen
erally throughout Maryland andjn Balti
more City continues to be one of doubt
.
as to the outcorde of next Tuesday's elec
tion. There Is mutual apprehension among
voters that, owing to the complexity and
unusual size of the ballots and the strin
gent requirements of the election law as
to how they' shall be marked, a great
many votes will be thrown out and not
counted by the election officials, and this
condition adds much to the feeling of un
certainty as to the result.
Fuslonlsts Bank on Weathcrt
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. L State cam
paign headquarters for both parties were
closed today, and will not again be opened
except to receive the returns Tuesday
night. The managers who remained In
the city saw no reason to change their
estimates.
Ex-Chairman "Webber, for the Fuslon
lsts, said the rainy, bad weather was a
good omen, as the farmers would have
bad cornfields and could be depended upon
to go to tho polls.
For the Republicans, Chairman Llnds
ley said there was not the slightest doubt
of the election of tho entire state ticket
and practically all of the Republican
candidates for District Judges.
Ohio Socialists Very Active.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 1. While the Ohio
political campaign closed with others last
night, the Socialists will hold several
meetings tomorrow. Both used wagons
for rostrums -and the distribution of liter
ature. More Socialist literature had been
circulated previously than in any previous
campaigns.
At times the Socialists "backed un" ad
joining Johnson meetings. Then the John-
with encouraging "such opposition." It is
a mystery to allhow the Socialists secured
support in distributing wagon loads of
literature and maintaining many speak
ers. LABK ENDS IN A MUBDER.
Police Chief Killed by Negro Whose
Sister He Struck.
CHICAGO, Nov. L A woman's hallow
een prank early this morning started
trouble which ended In the killing of
George A. Alrle, Chief of Police at Morgan
Park, by Mack Wiley, a.negro.
Mrs. Sayman, who Is a sister of Willey,
and three friends started out for a lark.
While they were overturning a lumber
pile it is said the woman was struck by
Alrle. The negroes went for reinforce
ments and upon their return a second
meeting with Alrle resulted In a fight in
which Alrle was stabbed in the neck by
Wiley.
The news of the tragedy spread through
the suburbs and soon a crowd of several
hundred men and boys marched to Mor
gan Park Jail, where four of the negroes
had been locked up. While the place was
surrounded by a mob clamoring for venge
ance Wiley and his companions were
placed between a number of police and a
dash made for a carriage that had .been
sent! for.
c severe fight followed. Both the -negroes
were seriously cut .and bruised with kicks
and stones, hut the officers finally man
aged to get them into the carriage and
drove to the Englewood Jail, where Wiley
confessed to having killed Alrle.
Turkey Expected Soon.to Settle.

RAGGED TEAM WORK LOST
MULTNOMAH'S DEFEAT BY BER
KELEY NO SURPRISE.
Two Men Did Not Know Signals,
and Quarterback Had Only
Practiced Once.
Multnomah's defeat in Saturday's foot
ball game with Berkeley was no surprise.
On the contrary, many of the team's most
ardent supporters looked for the Cali
fornia eleven to make even a larger
score, but at the same time they did not
expect to see Multnomah completely
whitewashed. McMillan, Dolph and Pratt
wero counted on to' go through Berkeley's
lino for at least One touch-down. As It
was they fought hard and were beaten by
superior team work. Multnomah lined, up
on Berkeley campus with two men who
did not know the signals, and a quarter
who wore a plaster cast on bis ankle and
had only practiced once with the team.
As a consequence the offensive work of
the ream was ragged and slow, though at
times brilliant. But Multnomah put up
a good defensive game and the backs
aided materially in stopping line-bucks
and breaking up interference on end runs.
The team was knocked into shape by
the game, and has almost a week to re
cuperate and acquire team work before
the Stanford game, which will be played
Friday, November 6. Stanford is feeling
very exuberant over the Reliance game,
but the Multnomah players will not be
such easy marks. After thl3 week's prac
tice Multnomah is sure to break down
Stanford's defense and may be able to
prevent the latter from scoring.
Corvallls Is now out of the running.
The Agricultural College eleven could not
make headway against Multnomah and
did no better with Albany. Moreover, In
the Albany game the team was playing
in its own class, and showed a fatal lack
of aggressiveness, though the line held
down its opponents to a single touch
down. But Albany went down with a
crash before Eugene, and though the
squad picked up before the Corvallls game.
It looks as if the farmers were scheduled
for a complete rout by the State Uni
versity team. If such an event occurs,
Eugene can be placed on a level with
Multnomah, and Portland will see somo
good football here on Thanksgiving day.
In the East the football situation has
not changed, but has become intensified.
Columbia received a worse drubbing from
Yale than was expected, and Holy Cross
ran up a score of 36 to 0. against Amherst.,
Amherst, it will be remembered, defeated
Harvard. No conclusions, however, can
be drawn from, scores by themselves, but
this score and the 44 to 0 that Princeton
ran up against Cornell imply that there
Is to be some difference In the ranking
lists of the Eastern teams this year. The
two best games played Saturday were tho
Harvard-Carlisle and the Yale-Columbia
contests. Another point to the Indians'
credit would have tied Harvard, and In
the other game Dick Smith's team held
down Yale to a scoreless game up to the
last half, when the Ells frbm New Haven
tore the Columbia team to shreds and ran
up 23 points against the demoralized New
Yorkers. -
OREGON TEAM BRUISED UP.
Expect to Be In Shape for Contest
With Washington Men.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Nov. L (Special.) Oregon is boasting of
another victory but it was a hard-earned
one. Tho 'varsity players ore in bad
condition as a result of the game and
It Is now very doubtful If Left Tackle
McKlnney will be In good condition again
this year owing to a badly bruised ankle.
Captain Thayer is also in poor form and
the Oregon backs are badly bruised.
Manager Graham received a message
from tho "Washington Agricultural Col
lege eleven today, stating that It would
be possible for the Pullman Collegians to
come to Oregon as scheduled. The local
men are more than anxious to take a turn
with the champions of the Inland Em
pire, as they received a 16-to-0 reception
on the "W. A. C gridiron two years ago.
Many of the players that represented Ore
gon in jyui may De iouna in tne jocai
line-up and they are anxious for the
fray.
If comparative scores mean much, tho
University of Oregon is in a good place
to begin figuring for the usual North
western championship, but no such claims
are made. However, to .the fact that.
university of Washington fought hard
to defeat Oregon Agricultural College,
coupled with the fact that Oregon Agri
cultural College went down before Albany
whtf was outclassed by Oregon, makes It
seem as though the University of Oregon
was stronger than any other college team
In the Pacific Northwest.
Captain Gill and his stalwarts will ar
rlvo In Eugene Friday afternoon and
practice on Klncald Field for the annual
Oregon-Washington Agricultural Collego
game. Coach Allen is known to be a good
coach and no easy victory Is anticipated.
4poach Smith has not forgotten the treat
ment his men received two years ago and
no time will be lost this week In making
thorough preparations. Very little line
plunging will be done, bdt speedy signal
practice will be the order of events for
the coming week. Edmunson and Cole
man, Oregon's old-time guard and end
will assist Smith this -week.
PACIFIC ADMIRERS HAPPY.
Showing Against McMInnville En
courages Hopes in Other Contests.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove.
Or., Nov. L (Special.) Coach McFadden
and others Interested In football here are
highly elated over the showing made by
Pacific University In yesterday's game
with McMInnville College. The score of
39 to 0 Is the same that Chemawa ran up
against McMInnville earlier In the season,
while Willamette was able to score only
2S points against the Baptists.
Pacific's score would undoubtedly have
been much higher had not the time of the
last half been cut down from 25 to 15
minutes, at the request of the visitors
after the game had started.
From the showing made by Pacific Uni
versity yesterday It Is thought that she
should make a good record in the three
remaining games, with Oregon Agricul
tural College, Willamette University and
Albany College. It Is thought that Pa
cific ought to win one of these games and
make both the other teams work hard to
win.
Plans are being made for a big football
rally next Friday, the night before the
team leaves for Corvallls.
One of the-.Foundation-Makers.
" GRANT'S PASS, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.)
To the Editor. My feelings were keenly
touched and my heart Impulses deeply
moved. In reading the brief notice in The
Oregonlan of October 29, touching the
case of the Rev. J. F. Nesby, of Topeka,
Kan.
I had lost all track of him, and this
brlei note of his location and survival
called up a train of circumstances inti
mately connected with the' early Kansas
history. It was this Jnan who, at the
close of the War in KG9, Introduced me
to the Methodist Episcopal conference,
then In session at Leavenworth, Kan. It
was this man. unknown to the world and
unhonored by his church, who laid deep
ly and well the foundation rocks of our
church and Nation. It was this man, who,
with others, worked constantly and
watched carefully the upbuilding of a
great church and Nation.
We are a .great Nation, not because we
had a fatherly Washington, or "a brave
Jackson, or a kind-hearted Lincoln, or an
immovable Grant, or a loving Garfield,
but wo are a great Nation because, deep-
XCr
seated and out of sight, ve have thou
sands of pure, noble-hearted men and
pure women who are willing to become
the hidden bedrock of this great Republic
As the building stands unmoved by tho
storm because it Is founded on a rock,
so the temple of our freedom rests on tho
noble and pure men and women who are
making- our pure homes and friends.
Prominent among these was ttie Rev. J.
F. Nesby, and the moral and National In
fluence which radiates from a lovable
home gives stability and. character to a
Nation. It can be truthfully said of Mr.
Nesby that "he being dead, yet speaketh."

HOLD OH TO YOUR PBTJNES.
Advice Given Growers by exT-Commls-sloner
Reynolds.
SALEM, Or., Nov. L (Special.) "Prune
growers who have not already sold their
fruit -should hold It for a price that will
give them "a fair profit," says Lloyd T.
Reynolds, formerly Horticultural Com
missioner for the Second District.
"Dealers are around offering- to pay a
basis price of li cents. Probably a ma
jority of the prune crop this year will
average In the 50-60 to-the-pound size,
and at this basis growers would get only
3 cents a pound for their fruit. Since the
cost of labor and fuel -has advanced, 3
cents a pounds is about theactual cost of
production. Growers are cutting their
own throats when they sell at "such
figures.
"The condition of the fruit market
does not warrant such low prices. France
had a very short crop andls buying
prunes heavily In this country. The
Oregonlan's dispatches from New York
last Friday tell us that the packing
houses In this country have had difficulty
in filling the orders as fast'AS they are
received. The apple crop of 'the United
States Is 1,000,000 barrels short, and prices
for that fruit will be high. Canned goods
have advanced very materially. In every
view of the situation I can see no reason
why prunegrowers .should, not receive a
fair price, if they will ask for it
"It seems to me to be certain that all
the prunes will be wanted and the proper
course for the growers Is to wait until a
living price is offered. I do not advise
holding for speculative prices, but for a
living price. Oregon prunes this year are
of first-class quality and they give sat
isfaction wherever sold. Tho trouble Is
that a few crops are sold early at very
low prices, and buyers put tho goods on
the market at once at low figures, thus
giving out the impression that prunes are
selling at the prices announce'd for a few
small lots. When a dealer wires to tho
East an offer to sell prunes on a 2-cent
basis, this offer is advertlse'd and used as
a means of bearing down the price. I be
lieve the success of the prune Industry In
this state depends largely upon co-operation
in marketing, for experience has
shown that the local buyers do all they
can to keep prices down. Growers should
neither consign their fruit nor place It In
the control of dealers who will use It as a
means of beating down the price.
"A comparison of the prices paid in
France and In California with thosb
offered by buyers In Oregon will show
that Oregon growers are not being offered
what their fruit Is worth, in Ifrance the
price Is a fraction over 14 cents for the
50-60 size. In California it Is 4 cents and
in Oregon at the price offered It Is 3 cents.
Here are some figures that show what the
growers receive per ton for the different
sizes In France, California and Oregon at
the prices named: (
Size France. CaL Ore.
CO to CO .- 52S0.20 JSO.OO 560.00
GO to 70 ..... 244.80 70.00 50.00
70 to SO 203.01 60.00 40.00
SO to 90 168.06 50.00 30.00
60 to 100 150.0S 40.00 20.00
"There is no money In Oregon prunes at
those prices and If growers were com
pelled to sell at such figures I would not
be surprised at the dispatch from Van
couver saying that some growers are pre
paring to dig up their trees. But growers
are not compelled to sell at such prices
and there is no need of digging up trees.
"It has been reported throughout the
East that Oregon has a crop of 10,000 cars
of prunes this year. This report Is circu
lated for the purpose of bearing down
the price. As a matter of fact," tho entire
dried prune crop of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho will not go over 1000 cars. In
Washington this year there were heavy
sales" of green fruit and the dried crop
will not beas large as was- estimated
while the fruit was on the trees. The
California supply Is 1400 cars short of last
year.
"I have learned from prunegrowers In
the hills In the last few days that the trees
are setting fewer fruit buds than usual,
which Is an indication of a light crop
next year. The trees have produced three
large crops in succession and the light
setting of fruli buds is probably the effort
of nature to give the trees a rest after
their productiveness has been overtaxed.
The promise of a light crop here next
year should be somewhat of a factor in
considering the value of this year's crop.
"I wish to repeat again with emphasis,
that the price of prunes depends largely
upon the action of the Individual growers.
A few, by selling early at low prices can
demoralize the market and Injure the
prune industry- If groweVs wish to con
tinue in this industry and make a living
at it, they must stand for a price that
will allow a-falr profit, especially in a
year when all the conditions make It
reasonable to believe that a fair price
can be had."
CHASE OF HORSETHIEVES.
r
Walla Walla Deputy Nearly Catches
Up Near Renton.
SEATTLE, Nov. L Deputy Sheriff Keys
of Walla Walla, three detectives and two
Deputy Sheriffs formed a posse which
gave chase to two desperate horsethleves
whom Keys has followed all the way
from Walla. Walla this afternoon. The
men deserted their band of 10 animals
when hard pressed, and escaped in the di
rection of Renton.
Just before dark the posse came across
the jaded horses the men were riding,
hardly able to walk, In a brush near the
poor farm where they had been left by
the thieves when they wero no longer of
any use.
Tomorrow morning the chase will be
taken up again, as the thieves are sup
posed to be hiding in . the woods near
Renton.

tee feels justified In the prediction that
the returns on Tuesday will show a total

that the-Leglslature will bo Republican In
