National League Seeks Peace
With "Outlaws."
CANT WHIP THEM INTO LINE
President Hart -Leaves Chicago for
California to See if Terms Can
Be Arranged With Recalci
trant Coast Magnates.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2L (Special.) Great in
terest Is manifested here and In the Bast
in the mission of President James Hart, of
the National .League, "who started today to
arrange a conference with the "outlaws"
of the Pacific Coast.
California holds the center of the stage
in the baseball world there these days,
owing to the efforts of organized baseball
to bring the "outlaws" within the pale of
organization. One of the striking peculi
arities of this angle of the National sport
is the fact that the organization is un
able to affect the "outlaws" in any way
and must sue for peace instead of whip
ping the recalcitrant Pacific Coast League
Into line.
Organizations, the strongest and closest
ever known In baseball, must send peace
delegates to California instead of the
Coast League praying for admission to
and protection from the organization.
Recent events have made the "outlaws"
stronger and more independent than ever,
and they will have to see their way clear
before "they will permit themselves to be
drawn Into, any alliances.
It is realized here that the sale by D.
E. Dugdale, Of the Seattle franchise to A.
Lou Cohen, president of the Seattle Club
of the Pacific Coast League, practically
knocks the last prop from under the op-,
position to the so-called "outlaws." It is
said this action will restrict the Pacific
National League to the Rocky Mountains,
and an effort will be made by that organi
zation to build a four-town league of
Butte, Salt Lake, Ogden and Spokane,
while the "outlaws" have complete and
undisputed possession of the Coast with
the best baseball cities.
The ending of the war on the Pacific
Coast will mean that the "outlaws" can
retrench on their salary list and general
expenses, except where they see it to their
advantage when good players are cast
adrift by dissensions between leagues
bound by the National agreement. This
make's the "outlaws' independent with a
prosperous season ahead of them, and will
make It harder than ever for the organ!
zatlon" to get them into the fold.

Goes Away Again.
TALKS WITH THE BROWNS
Nothing Done Toward Signing the Se

Lease on Vaughn-Street
Grounds. ,
D. E. Dugdale left Portland yesterday
afternoon for his home In Seattle, and the
best that the newspaper men got out of
the fat manager was a breezy smile. Dug-
DUGDALE.
dale was in consultation with the local
tasail moguls twice during the day, but
the r. . ... .
the ripe and Juicy things which the fans
expected would happen as a result of his
visit came not. Beyond the smile one
that never wears off the ex-Seattle man
ager Informed his inquisitors that he had
met, talked with and had offered no prop
osition to the owners of the Browns. For
once in his life. If never before, it was
proven by lnvsetigatlon, that Dugdale had
told the truth.
This leaves the local baseball situation
Just where it was .before Dugdale took
the center bt the stage In a word It leaves
the whole works, like a toy balloon, up in
the air. But some one must pull things out
of chaos and do that within the next few
days, for if they don't Portland will
have the unpleasant distinction of having
the other teams In ihe league signed up
and ready for business before they get
started. Some of the wise magnates may
think they have oceans of time between
now and March 24. If this notion is hidden
away In their cosmos, the quicker they get
a germ exterminator, the better it will be
for Portland's baseball club. In less than
two weeks It will be decided whether tho
Coasters are to Join the fold of organized
baseball. In a month and one day It will
be necessary to have the team on the
Spring training-grounds and In Just a
month from that date the baseball season
of 1904 will start. Now anyone who has
mixed up In the game knows that the
time is short and whatever Is to be done
i must be done soon.
One thing Is', sure, the local moguls must
I choose between Ely or Dugdale. Dugdale
' says he left the city without making the

Seattle Boy Rivals Don Quixote
DON QUIXOTE has been rivaled by
Willie Steele, a 16-year-oldl Seattle
youth. Attired In leather breeches, a cow
boy hat and carylng a large revolver-and
a supply of dime novels, the boy rode Into
Portland yesterday morning on a Jaded
horse on his way to the mountains of
Northern California.
He was in search of bandits, or Indians,
or excitement, of any sort that might of
fer itself. The quiet city life had become
unbearable to him and he yearned for an
atmosphere of physical violence and ac
tivity. Riding behind him on the tired beast,
which, with Its rider, had been on ex
tremely short rations since leaving the
Washington metropolis several days ago,
was Albert Steele, 13 years old. Young Al
bert was not in quest of danger, but
rather had been Induced to sign on the
expedition in the guise of Sancho Panza,
in order to see something of the world and
keep the danger-seeking youth company.
On the way to Portland the lads say
they had no noteworthy experiences, ex
cept the insistent cravings of empty
stomachs. When they reached town early
in the morning both were nearly famished,
and they were unable to get anything to
eat until young Steele pawned his re
volver, thus leaving themselves helpless
should they run across "Scar-Faced Char
He. the Chief of the Plutes," or some other
noted and ferocious villain of the realms
of 10-cent literature.
They were; taking In the sights and were
attracting much attention because of the
older lad's strange attire, when a police
man discovered them. Both were taken to
the police station and their fatigued horse
was sent to a livery barn to be cared for.
Both were locked up in a cell of the
city jail pending an answer to a query
regarding their Seattle connections. Un- j
less their parents come to their rescue j
lag to buy 'stock in the. club. He was even
willing to grab up a controlling Interest.
His offer still goes and It may be that
after all he will beat Dugdale to. it. now
that there is a disposition on the part of
some of the stockholders to sell out. One
reason why the team hasn't been sold
long ago is because these who have had
the lion's share of the stock looked upon
their Investment as a good one and they
were apt anxious to selL They are not
anxious to get out at this time, but they
arc business men and naturally when an
opportunity offers Itself to make a barter
and when it looks good, it Is no more than
natural that what they bad bought they
would sell.
Dugdale might have bad a notion that
the business men who had financed the
Browns were dead anxious to dump their
holdings. It is no discredit to Dugdale if
he thought so. for he Is 'not the only out
sider who has thought so, and Journeyed
to Portland expecting to pick an easy
bargain. Dugdale found with others that
the Browns were not for sale, but If a
price, one big enough to be tempting, was
offered It would not be winked at. Dugdale
may or may not have been given a figure
at which he could buy the Browns. If
he did it was a stiff one, that goes with
out saying. He likes Portland, but he likes
Seattle better and he would rather stay
out of baseball a year and eventually land
In Seattle than tie up to Portland. Rumor
his it that Parke Wilson has not been
signed by Lou Cohen, and, if this Is so,
the fat magnate may make connections In
his home city.
In the meantime Fred Ely Is not idle.
In spite of the Dugdale flurry he is going
forward with the signing of players.
Mlque Fisher blew Into the Lewis and
Clark City yesterdayand he and Ely had
a long talk oer a number of players who
have asked the new Tacoma manager for
a berth. Who these players are neither
of the managers would give out, but they
intimated, that they were. men who had
been factors In htth the' major and minor
leagues in the E jt.
Fisher had a .bundle of bouquets to tos3
at the men who are associated with him
In Tacoma. He is on his way to Sacra
mento, where he will remain until it is
time to take his team to Fresno for Spring
practice and' when this time arrives he
will bid a last, but glad farewell to Sac
ramento. One of the " Important moves made by
the baseball people yesterday was the
signing of a three-year lease for the
Vaughn-street grounds. By this move
baseball Is assured on this side of the
river for three years and when the tracks
are laid the cars of both the City & Su
burban and the Washington-street lines
will unload the fans at the ball ground
gates.
KILL GAME OUT OF SEASON.
Valley Hunters Slaughter Deer and
4 Birds at WHI.
EUGENE, Or., Jan. 21. (Special:)
There i3 much complaint hero among
sportsmen and others interested in the
protection of game about' the unlawful
killing of igame of all kinds. It Is a mat
ter of common knowledge that the game
laws are being violated almost every day
and there seems to be no attempt to stop
the violations.
Just now it Is safe to say there is con
siderable hunting of'deer in the low foot
hills, although the season' for killing them
closed nearly three months ago. The re
cent storms id the mountains here re
sulted In much deep snow, and the deer
are driven down to the low foothills,
where they can secure feed. In this way
they become easy prey to the hunter, and
within 20 miles of Eugene it is said
hounds can be heard any day.
People who live in the mountains make
no secret of the fact that they fre
quently supply their tables with "hill mut
ton," but of thls there-is little or no com
plaint. Nobody begrudges the settlers the
luxury of venison, steaks -so long as he
confines himself to the matter of supply
ing his table. But when hams and Jerked
meat are brought to . town for sale, or
when men go out from town to hunt for
the sport of it. there are many who would
like to see the law more carefully ob
served. It may be said also that most of those
who are believed to violate the law would
be glad to see more strict enforcement.
They mostly ga out because they believe
that unless they kill game out of season
It will be killed by others Instead of be
ing protected.
And deer are not the only game killed
out of season. It is common to hear men
in the valley talk about killing "jack
rabbits," and by this they mean anything.
That name applies to Denny pheasants
particularly, which require careful pro
tection at this time In order that they
may be left for propagation in the Spring.
The desire for enforcement of the law
is general, but complaints are not made
because nobody wants to Incur the enmity
of his neighbor, and officers of the law,
whose duty It Is to prevent violations, sel
dom happen along to witness a violation.
Curious Democratic Optimism. .

During the brief space of Roosevelt's
Presidency the Nation lias, passed from

have a poor politician where we expect a

are now harmonized, nominate a man who
can get and hold the elements which have
forsaken the Republicans there is no rea
son why they could not defeat him or
any other man his party will name. The

Chicago Theater Fire Headlines.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"The headllners of the country simply
frothed at the mouth over the Chicago
disaster," said an observant man, "and
they seemed to have made an effort to
outdo each other in depicting the awful
ness of that fearful event. The naked
facts of the fire were bad enough, and the
ordinary man could not read the details
without becoming somewhat tearful. The
mere announcement of the simple fact
that so many lives had been sniffed out
within the short space of 15 minutes was
quite enough to shock the man of ordi
nary feeling. But the headllners on many
of the newspapers, and many of the news
paper men who wired stories out of Chi
cago, seemed to entertain the idea that the
dreadfulness of It all might be overlooked
unless put forth pronouncedly In hot lan
guage and big black type. So they spread
out the awful feast for the eyes. No
doubt many timid Teaders were fearfully
shocked by tnese men. and It would not
surprise me to know that many readers
put their papers aside with a shudder.
Really It was some little time before I
could make up my mind to read the story
as put forth in aome of the yellower pa
pers. I do not like the shocking thing.
I have always entertained the opinion that
the newspapers of the country should
minimize the shock as much as possible.
Of course, shocking events must be noted.
They are a part of current history. The
newspaper's function is to gather and ar
range for the reading public the facts of
history as they develop from day to day.
Necessarily much that will shock the
over-sensitive person must be put in type.
That is all right But why should the
beadliner. and the man wto is assigned
to write the story try to make the thing
worse than it really Is? In the case of
the Chicago fire special efforts seem to
have been made in some quarters to de
velop the revolting details or the thing,
and to give them consplculty, often to the
point of exaggeration, in the headlines.
This Is a mistake. It may pay for a
while, because of the tolerance of one
part of the reading public, and the pru
riency of the other, but in the long run
the newspaper that presents the facts as
they are will be the one most favored by
the public."

A Crisis in New Jersey.
Chicago Evening Post.
The domestic problem has reached New
Jersey, where the housemaids of Orange
have formed a union, the starting point
of which Is a minimum compensation of.
$25 a month for eight hours of labor each
day, with half a Thursday and all of Sun
day off. The minor considerations are al
most too trivial to attract attention, con
sisting of such reasonable demands as tho
use of the parlor three nights a week, the
use of the piano for practice after break
fast, and a maximum answering of the
front bell six times in an afternoon. It is
universally recognized that this is the day
of feminine emancipation, and no advo
cate of true womanhood will hesitate to
grant all the small favors which Bridget
and Hulda ask in the name of feminine
progress. In these days of pianolas
and aeolians and angeluses there is no
reason why the kitchen should not be sup
plied with means of musical relaxation,
though we hasten to explain that we seelc
no excuse to deprive the ladles of the as
sisting department of any of their drawing-room
privileges. Let us try to make
the poor girls comfortable and happy on
their own terms. Why expand our chests
and prate about this country of "liberty"
if there is no "liberty"?
