ELECTRIC CAR
Berlin Corporation
Those Germans aro certainly traveling I
"the pace that kills." Recent experiments j
in high-rate electric railways nas con
clusively settled that fact, for German
electricians have perfected an electric car
that has traveled at the rate of 117.32
miles an hour, a small fraction under
two miles an hour. The trial -was made
hetween Marienfelde and Zossen, a dls
tanco of a little over 14 miles.
The experiments have been going on
since 1S99. A Berlin corporation was
formed with a capital of 5178,500, which in
cluded among its stockholders, bankers,
electrical companies and machine builders.
The Prussian railway administration
placed at the company's disposal a
straight and nearly level stretch of track
running between the cities named. The
first tests were not fully successful, owing
to the spreading of the rails, but when
the surface was well ballasted and heavier
rails used, the high rate of speed was
obtained during the recent test.
The motor cars were tested during Oc
tober and November, 1501. with .a three
phase alternating current of 10,000 to 12,000
volts, which was reduced by transformers
carried under -the floor of each car to on
average pressure of 1500 volts, and in that
condition turned Jnto the motors, of which
each car carried four two at either end
with an aecrecate energy of 1000 horse
power. The net result of the trials of J
that year was that motors, cars, and
transmission apparatus worked to the
entire satisfaction of the experimenters,
and the speed was gradually Increased
from 55.9 miles io 93.2 miles per hour.
Everything except the rails and roadbed
had met all reasonable expectation, and
no unpleasant effects had been exper
ienced by those on board which would dis
qualify high velocities for future pas
songer traffic.
During the 22 months that have elapsed
since the close of the first experiments,
the -track from Marienf elde to Zossen had
been taken up and relald with new steel
rails weighing SG.1 pounds per lineal me
ter, resting on heavy spruce ties 22 inches
from center to center and heavily ballast
ede with broken basalt. The rails are set
on each tie In a steel chair, strongly
bolted down, and are joined perpendicu
larly by beveled joints, seven Inches in
length, held firmly together by bolts pass
ing horizontally through the fish plates,
so that the effectiveness of a continuous
rail Is practically secured. The track Is a
nearly level air line throughout Its length,
except one curve of 2000 yards radius near
SAM PARKS"
New Tork Sun.
ABUSE has been hurled by the
bucketful at Sam Parks In these
last five months. Cheap pathos
has been sprinkled upon his quite un
lovely career In no small quantities.
Cheap as the pathos has been, it has not
been so cheap as the abuse.
Sam Parks has taken both with a thor
oughly creditable Indifference. If he Is
a desolate and discouraged man today,
it is not because people call him names;
it is not because his hard heart has been
softened by the sympathy of those whose
voices have trembled in telling the story
of his misfortunes. Sam Parks Is down
hearted because he is "up against It."
"When Sam Parks says he is "up
against It," he means that he is "up
against" fate.
As indiiiduals go, Sam Parks has been
a big man. In the human species of
mammals, he has stood out large against
the crowd.
He is not a student of economics or of
psychology; his only study all his life
long has been t make the most, the
selflsh, brutal most, of Sam Parks. He
did not know that in following the
course he marked out for himself he had 1
become a part of a machine far more
selfish and brutal and powerful than
any one man had ever become that he
was a mere cog In the mill of organized
blackmail.
Sam Parks, who thought that he was
the whole machine, finds himself today
oji the scrap heap. He hears the ma
chine rumbling on without him.
A little man would fill the air with
whines and protestations of his undaunt
ed spirit Sam Parks does not.
He made himself what he has been by
using the men of the Housesmiths and
Bridgemen's Union, even as the pirate
kings of romance used their crews, by
sharing with them a small part of the
loot, by spectacular and cruel use of
brute force.
As he has been brought into the Court
of General Sessions won- lnir iYtia ti.,if
for his trial for extorting money from j
tne 'iinany fatualos, he has resembled
nothing so much as a wild animal at bay.
Parks does not look like a brave man.
His face has cunning In it, and savagery;
it is the face of a human rat.
A rat in a corner, facing a dog which
is Inclined to be cruelly playful before
the kill, will keep up a look of Indiffer
ence that is illuminated once in a while
by a showing of the teeth, by a quick,
alort glance for the best possible attempt
WON'T INVITE LEAGUE
IDEA OF MEETING IN PORTLAND
ABANDONED BY DIRECTORS.
Officers of Club Also Telegraph Man
ager Ely Not to Play Holiings
worth in Los Angeles.
The directors of the Portland Browns
have decided not to make any further
attempt to bring the annual meeting of
tho Pacific Coast League to Portland.
Thte action was determined on yesterday
after Henry Harris curt erply to the
telegram sent to the different magnates
by The Oregonlan, asking them whether
they favored holding the meeting In this
city. Harris single word, "No," is not
characteristic of the man, and the brevity
and tone of the message Jarred on the
Portland directors. They naturally feel
hurt over the California magnates's atti
tude, but rather than have any friction
over the matter they will no longer urge
that the meeting be 'held in Portland.
"When the directors read Uncle Harry's
brief telegram thty simply decided for
the sake of harmony to Instruct the com
mittee, consisting of Messrs. 'White,
Schmeer and Richards, not to go on with
their preparations for Inviting the Coast
League magnates to this city.
Several of the local magnates were
seen yesterday, but further than saying
that the attempts to bring tho meeting to
Portland would be abandoned, they would
not discuss Harris' attitude. In spite of
this, It is evident that they are dis
pleased and grieved with the way Harris
received their efforts. In the first place,
the plan for bringing the meeting to
Portland did not originate with the local
baseball men. It came from Fisher, who
is anxious to get Tacoma in line, and
Teddy Goodman, and was merely sec
onded by the Browns' management.
Another evidence which goW to show
that the Browns' management are de
sirous of having peace and harmony -in
the league is their action in the Holllngs
worth case. A telegram has been sent
to Manager Ely, telung him for"Uie
sake of harmony not to play Holllngs
worth during the Los Angeles series.

THE ELECTRIC CAR THAT
Its southern extremity, and is In all re
spects up to the highest standard of mod

have been likewise improved in various
minor details, but the cars are substan

and, as represented by the illustration,
may be briefly described. Each Is
72.1S feet In length and weighs about 200,

four in number, one attached to the front
and rear axle of each truck, the middle
pair of wheels In each group running free.
The wheels are 49 Inches In diameter and
are equipped with pneumatic brakes of

ANALYZED
at a last struggle. Parks, sitting at his
counsel's side In the court room, is not
pleasant to look at.
On Labor Day, when he rode down
Fifth avenue on his white horse at the
head of 18,000 workingmen, he was de
scribed as "a little man, hunched up on
his horse like a monkey riding a circus
pony."
On a horse he did seem small. Per
haps the horse, a'fine-sjJlrlted brute, full
of playful pride, may have created the
Illusion by contrast But certainly the
curious thousands who turned out of
their way to see him ride by could" not
believe that this yellow, bunched-up
creature could be the hero of a thousand
rough and tumble fights, the terror of his
enemies.
But in the court-room one sees him as
he is, in all his six feet of unlovellness.
Scrawny, homely of face and figure as
sin Itself, It Is easy to see how, with his
inordinate opinion of his own authority,
he compelled other men to do as he
ordered.
The truth ofthe beginning of his as
sault on the revenue of the Tiffany Stu
dios has never before been told. It will
not be told In court. It is told here as
It came from the mouth of a friend of
Parks, who was with him on the day that 1
he marked the Tiffany . establlsnment
down to be his prey.
The two, Sam Parks and Sam Parks'
friend, were walking down an avenue to
gether. They passed a building where
the Tiffanys were executing a contract.
"Who's doing the work there?" asked
the friend, just by way of making con
versation and of giving Parks a chance
to show his thorough acquaintance with
his own business.
"Where?" asked Sam Parks carelessly.
Then, as he observed the building, he be
came suddnly Interested. "Well, by God!"
he exclaimed: with other oaths less print
able. "Now. that's a new one on me! I
never knew" about this business before in
my life. Say, ain't they got a nerve?
Never said a word to me! Wait a minute!"
He went into the building, and pretty
soon came out again, the workmen troop
ing behind.
"I pulled them out," he- explained to
his friend. "Hell of a nerve, some of these
people have! Think they can put men to
work without seeing Sam Parks!"
"What did the bosses say?" asked thft
friend.
"I didn't see any bosses," remarked Sam
Parks, with a sardonic grin. "Let them
come to see me. It'll do 'em good. Next
time they start work on a new job they'll
come see Sam Parks first!"
The rest of the story every newspaper
reader knows. How the Tiffanys asked
their men what the matter was and how
the men said there was nothing the
matter but Sam Parks. How they were
asked what complaints must be settled be
has been hanging fire for several months.
For a time the Browns' management was
determined to attempt to play Holly in
Los Angeles In face of the protest made
by Morley. The matter has given the
directors no end of trouble, and for a
time they were determined to fight It out
to a finish with the Los Angeles mag
nate. It was thought that Morley would
retract his threat about not allowing
Holly In the park grounds, but he still
sticks to the threat that he will take
his men off the diamond if Portland In
sists on plavlng the Browns' shortstop.
The action taken by the local mag
nates Is a wise one. If it were earlier
In the season and the team had a ghost
of a show for a berth In the first di
vision, Morley would have been given
a fight that would have crimped his
hair. As it Is, there is no chance, and
the only result of playing Hollingsworth
would be to precipitate a row with noth
ing to be gained. It is true that Holly's
services will be greatly missed during
the two weeks' series at Los Angeles,
but the local directors will stand .for
tho crippling of the team father thanet
the league Into a squabble. In deciding
not to play Hollingsworth In Los An
geles, the Browns' management does not
feel that they are backing down from
their original position la the matter. It
Is simply because of their desire for
peace that Motley's demands In this mat
ter are agreed to. Morley's original
threat in the Hollingsworth case was
that Portland could not play him at all.
When the bluff did not work, Morley
shifted his protest to his home grounds,
and naturally, being on his own dung
hill, he was pretty much a master of the
situation. All this was considered by tho
directors, so they sent the following tele
gram to Manager Ely:
"After careful consideration recommend
for sake of harmony not to play Holl
ingsworth at Los Angeles."
The message was signed by President
Prael and several of the directors.

purposes. The Interior of the car is pro
vided with upholstered seats lengthwise
along the sides, and an open railing in
closes at each end the space occupied by
the driver, who, standing behind a curved
front of plate glass within easy touch
of volt and ampere meters, gauges which
show the resistance of the air, and a dial
that Indicates and registers the speed,
controls Its movements by turning a pilot
wheel.
The tests at Zossen show that with prop
erly constructed track and car, high
velocities are not only possible, but free
from discomfort to passengers. The ex
periments at Oberschonwelde show that
the complications entailed by overhead
wiring for polyphase currents, as well as
the weight and cost of transformers, may
bo eliminated by the use of high-voltage,
single-phase aparatus. It remains to be
demonstrated to what extent be speed of
public travel can be accelerated between
large cities and through populous dis
tricts under conditions which will com
mand public confidence and patronage.

fore work could go on, and how they
said: "See Sam Parks."
How the Tiffanys saw Sam Parks and
paid him 500 as an initiation fee and re
ceived permission to do business in New
York and its vicinity, with or without
union men, so long as they kept on re
specting the Parks system of lawless law
all that has come out in testimony at the
trial.
T.he experience of many other gangs of
men on many similar occasions 'has been
that If they did not stop work when Sam
Parks ordered them to, if they ventured
to go Into union meetings and protest
against the orders of Parks, they would
be met by his famous "entertainment
committee."
The function of the "entertainment com
mittee" was to Impress upon the mem
bers of Sam Parks' union . desirability of
observing literally the decrees of Sam
Parks. Ironworkers are not tender and
soft-spoken oik. They are men of cold
nerve and strong muscles.
Their work is the fitting of steel beams
and the riveting of them with redhot
rivets on airy perches, hundreds of feet
from the street. The terrorizing of such
men as these is not a task for children.
The "entertainment committee" was
never made up of children. It was made
up of Just such men as surrounded those
same pirate kings of romance. On the
Bowery they speak of such as "men who
are too strong to work."
It Is worth while to think over the ad
vantage which any company to which
Sam Parks, for reasons material or senti
mental, felt friendly had over a company
for which he had no kindly emotions. A
young man came here recently from an
other city to go Into the building and con
tracting business. Sam Parks was not so
slow as he had 'been in the Tiffany case.
He went to call upon the young man be
fore a single contract had been bid upon.
"Before you begin business In this city,"
said he to the young man, "51500 to Paries.
To me Sam Parks."
The young man did not go Into busi
ness at all. - The tax was too heavy.
Did an employer on a large job desire
more men than were available, he Vould
pay Parks to order a strike on some
smaller employer's job. In order that com
petent laborers might be set at liberty.
Parks, Incidentally, could receive pay, and
did, for restoring to the small employer
the right to employ free and Independent
American citizens, housesmiths and
bridgemen, to complete the small contract
Did a certain employer of housesmiths
desire to underbid another on a certain
job, he made his contract with Parks in
advance. He knew, before making his
bid, how much it would cost him to "see
Parks." His competitor didn't know how
much It would cost to "see Parks" and
had to bid in the dark necessarily to a
disadvantage.
FREE DELIVERY SOON
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT TO
IMPROVE SERVICE IN SUBURBS.
Residents of University Park, Penin
sula, Woodlawn and Central
Addition Will Receive Mail.
University Park, Peninsula, "Wood
lawn, on the Peninsula, and Central .Ad
dition, at Mount Tabor, will receive free
mail delivery In the near future. This
will give all the Peninsula free mall de
livers' except St. Johns. The Information
received was that Senators Mitchell and
Fulton had been notified that the de
partment had decided to grant free de
liver' to these points. This Is the result
of the effort of the people at University
Park, under tho leadership of the Hay
wood Club, and at "Woodlawn, through
the work of the Woodlawn Push Club,
and the recommendations of Postmaster
Bancroft.
In both districts a careful census was
taken under the auspices of these push
clubs. The names of heads of families
were taken down with the number in tho
families, so that the Postofflce Depart
ment had complete Information as to the
number of people that free delivery would
reach, provided it should be ordered.
JThe postofflces at "Woodlawn, Peninsula
ana university .fane will oe done away
with and the carriers will take their
places. At University Park there will
probably be a station. Perhaps the re
mainder of the district may be served
with carriers direct from the Alblna
postal station, but It is not yet known
what arrangements will be made for
these two places. Residents at Univer
sity Park asked for a station and free
mall delivery. As It is central and some
distance from the Alblna station, it is
considered almost certain that a station
will take the place of the postofflce there.
In Central Addition probably the post
office will be discontinued, and the whole
of the district north of the Base Line
road will be served by carrier from the
Mount Tabor postofflce. The present
carrier now goes a short way north of
the Base Line, while the remainder of
i the district Is supplied by the postofflce
In Central Addition. This will mean
two mall carriers from the Mount Tabor
station, Instead of one, as at present.
The additional, service will require at
least four more carriers.
IMPROVING STREET RAILWAY.
Double Tracks on Montavllla Line
Stretching Trolley to Gresham.
The City & Suburban Hallway Com
pany is greatly Improving Its line to
Montavllla. A double track has been
laid on East Twenty-eighth street fr.om
the carbarn to Gllsan street and on
Gllsan for about 100 feet. The double
track Is also continued about 100 feet
north of Gllsan street. These Improve
ments will do away with inconvenient
delays at the carbarn.
The next considerable Improvement Is
on the main line from the gravel pit at
Central Addition to Hubbard street. In
Montavllla, a distance of about one mile.
Preparations are being made to lay dou
ble tracks for this distance. Grading has
been done for some distance east from
the gravel pit and tlei and poles for the
trolley wire have been distributed.
These improvements are the most ex
tensive undertaken on the Montavllla
line since the Hubbard-stroet branch was
built, and are made to meet the extraor
dinary growth in this prosperous sub
urb. The Montavllla line carries not
only the local traffic, but hundreds of
farmers from Eastern Multnomah Coun
ty leave their teams at Montavllla and
come to Portland on the electric cars.
Sometimes as high as 40 teams of all
kinds are left In Montavllla, while their
owners make the run Into Portland on
the cars. t
The Oregon iWater Power & Rail
way Company Is rapidly equipping Its
line eastward from Lents, and trolley
wires have been stretched to Gresham.
Special electric cars have already run
out to Gresham, but no passenger cars.
The wires are being stretched to the
Boring's power station, and when con
nection Is made there it is expected that
electric cars may be put on the Gresham
run.
Work on the long fill across the Mar
tin tract to Sellwood has been suspend
ed for the present However, work Is
still going forward on the fill across the
woolen mills ground. The high trestle
there is almost completed.
PLACING MANY FIRE HYDRANTS

DAN.CLNG ON A STUMP.
Strange Hallowe'en Party Held- In an
Oregon Logging Camp.
A strange Hallowe'en celebration, in
cluding a dance and a supper on the
stump of a tree 20 feet In the air. Is
probably something that few have ever
heard or dreamed of even in Oregon,
where large trees and tall stumps are no
rarity. Such a celebration, however, took
place not a hundred miles from Port
land last Hallowe'en, an acount of which
has been obtained from John Hansen,
a burly logger who arrived In Portland
Saturday, to have a wrist, sprained on
the occasion, attended to by a surgeon.
The affair took place at a fork In the
road leading from a seldom used landing
on the lower Columbia back through a
wide strip of low ground covered with a
forest of tldeland spruce of great size
to a scattered settlement consisting prin
cipally of loggers employed In several
camps, who have taken up claims there
on account of the fine timber.
The settlement has no name on the
map but Is known among the residents,
a number of whom aro men of family,
as Stumpvllle. From the tops of the big
stumps a view of the Columbia and the
ships and steamers passing can be had.
The hollow trunk of one forms a recep
tacle where anyone who has gone down
to meet a boat can safely leave parcels
and messages. The stumps are a sort of
general meeting place for the settlers,
who are thu3 saved much traveling
through tho forest when they wish to
see each other, and on this acount It
was decided to have a Hallowe'en cele
bration there. Just how two such large
trees came to grow so close together
is a mystery to all who see the stumps,
which Hansen says are over 1G feet
across. The trees were probably broken
off by some heavy gale of wind, the
tops falling entirely clear of the stumps,
being almost Invisible In the dense under
growth. The tops of the stumps were smoothed
off and dressed with adzes for the occa
sion, and a rude seat was constructed
around the one to be used for a dancing
floor, supported beyond the outer edge
so as not to lessen the room, and a
throne for the fiddler was constructed
beyond this, while a bridge of two planks
was laid to the other and an awning
put up over it to serve as a supper
room, and a rude stairway or ladder
constructed reaching to It.
The dance hall would not have an
swered very well for waltzing or for a
very large party, but as there were only
11 ladles to be present It was largo
enough, especially as the dancing was
confined to one old-fashioned reel, in
which five couples took part, the fiddler
calling the figures.
Those not dancing occupied the circular
seats, and sets reUeved each other In
turn, so that all had opportunity to en-
joy the fun. During the intermissions
two Italians from a logging camp danced
a vfandango to the great amusement of
the party.
The banquet was a great success and
much enjoyed by all, there being plenty
of hot coffee, tempered with condensed
cream, to wash down the boiled ham,
canned salmon and other wholesome fare
provided, as well as cake and pastry of
a kind not often seen in the woods.
The affair passed off very joyously, no
evil spirits or witches interfering, and
nothing happened to mar the pleasure of
the occasion till the party started to-!
descend from their elevated position,
when as Hansen was assisting a lady
down the ladder a slat broke and he fell
abount ten feet, the lady landing on
him and slightly cracking some of his
ribs. The only serious damage done was
to his wrist. A3 this, after a week's.
rest, did not improve much and he was
unable to work, he decided to come to
town to have it attended, to.
MAKES LAST KUN.
i
Fire Horse,. in Harness for 14 Years,
Drops Dead at Gallop's End.
Old "Black Mollle" made her last run
yesterday afternoon. She had been in
the Fire Department for 14 years, and
died In harness at the end of a run, as a
veteran should die. There, was a chim
ney fire at 554 East Pine street yesterday
afternoon, and "Black Mollle" turned out
with the other hordes of the engine-house
at East Third and East Pine streets.
"Black Mollle" was one of the two
horses on the hose wagon of engine 7.
She made the run through the mud up to
the blazing chimney at East Pine and
East Thirteenth streets in her usual
style, but the exertion was too much.
After the fire had been quenched with a
couple of buckets of water, "Black Mol
lle" began to tremble. As long as there
was work to be done she was ready, but
the run was over and "Black Mollle's"
time had come. Standing with her team
mate, she rolled a moment and then fell
upon her side. Nothing could be done
to save her and she breathed her last In
a few minutes, with the fire spectators
gathering close around. She was nearly
20 years old and had been kept at work
too long. Heart failure finished her.
BURGLARS SCARED ER0M BOOTY
Captain Flavel's House Ransacked,
