Frank Kramer, the champion sprinter of the world, in the six day bicycle race, equaled the world's rec ord for an indoor quarter-mile during tho afternoon, making the distance in 0:24 S-& Tonight the riders settled down to their monotonous work, spurts being few and fruitless. Some of the many spills havo 'esulted In severe bruises. Keegan has a broken nose and discolored eyes, whilo Newkirk has lacerated legs. Opthers are similarly bruised. Keegan, the Lowell. Mass., boy, was quite badly hurt. He was forced to leave the track. While tho men were engaged in a heart-breaking sprinting match Rockowltz suddenly went down, and Agraz, of the Australian American team, who was following close behind, crashed into him. Just as both riders started to slide down the embank ment Keegan came around at a terrific, burst of spewed. His wheel struck Rocko wltz and Agraz with terrible force. Kee gan struck on his face on the board track. He was a pitiable sight His face was covered with blood which flowed from his nose and a deep cut across his fore head, and his nose was broken. One team had been practically ridden out of the race before the Keegan acci dent happened. A long, hard sprint led by the French team, which continued for nearly an hour, ended In the King-Rosslno team losing three laps. As the bunch of riders passed him for the third time King steered down from the track to the en closure and with the remark, "That's enough for me," declared that he was out of the race for good. At S A. M. the 16 teams on the track were tied, with 176 miles even to their credit Gougoltz and Breton, the French riders, had a lead of a few yards at that point. At 9 o'clock the 13 leading teams were 19 miles and eight laps behind the record. Frank Kramer, the American champion, and Friol, the French champion, tonight rode the first of three sprint races, one half mile, for the world's championship. Kramer won in 1:14 1-5. At 11 P. M. the 13 leaders had 4G3 miles 3 laps to their credit, the others being one lap behind. The midnight score was: Walthour Munroe. Gougoltz-Breton. Vanderstuft Stol. Dussol-Mazan. Butler-Moran, Pal-mer-Agraz. Samuelson-Wllllams. Maj-a-Newklrk, Bedel I-Bedell, Root-Dorian, McLean-Fowler, Turvillc-Mettllng, Keegan- Logan, each 4S0 miles 8 laps. Record 24 hours, S10 miles 1 lap.

Independent Telephone Concerns to Be Put Out of Existence. CHICAGO. Dec 5. The Chronicle t day says: A scheme which Is the pre liminary step to the organization of a gigantic telephone trust which, when its alleged purpose is accomplished, will in volve a capital estimated at 5700,000,000, and which will put out of existence all independent telephone manufacturing companies in the country, has come to light in Chicago with the announcement that a representative of an Eastern syn dicate Is endeavoring to obtain options on all independent factories in the city, and has obtained a few. Similar options are being sought from all the independent telephone manufac turing companies throughout tho country with the object of forming a big combina tion of mahufacturlngtclcphone interests on about the same order as other large corporations, such as the United States Steel Corporation, in order to eliminate competition in this line. W. J. Hilands, of Chicago, who Is said to represent Eastern parties in the movei ment declared that the proposed 'com bination had proceeded so far that there was very little doubt about its consum mation. BANKS REJECT IT. Will Not Accept Bill of Lading as Collateral for Loans. NEW YORK, Dec. 5. At a conference of bank presidents, it has been decided, according to tho Journal of Commerce, that the uniform bill of lading which the Trunk Line Association of Railroads pro poses to put into general use in the East on January 1 is not negotiable. Follow ing this decision, announcement was made to shippers that the banks represented at the meeting will not accept the bill of lading as collateral for loans. It could not be learned just what bank officers were present but it is known that the president of one largo Institution recently submitted a copy of the new bill to tho bank's legal representatives, and got the opinion that with the words "non negotiable" printed on it, the bill most certainly could not be accepted as collateral. This opinion will be submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission during its investigation into the workings of the uniform bill of lading In Chicago this week. ITINERARY OF FLEET.

Hearst Is on the Special Panel, but Has Not Yet Been Reached Aged Father of Prls oner In Court. NEW YORK. Dec 5. The second trial of Nan Patterson, accused of the murder of Caesar Young, the wealthy book maker. In a cab on West Broadway six months ago, commenced today In the criminal branch of the Supreme Court, and when adjournment was taken for the day. three, jurors had been chosen. Miss Patterson, who has "been ill with tonsllitis for several days, appeared In excellent spirits. Her manner was very vivacious, and the nervousness noticed during tho progress of the first trial had entirely disappeared. She was seated by her aged father. After nine talesmen had been examined and refused. Justice Davis, who will pre side at the trial, intervened and assumed the role of examiner. Miss Patterson carefully considered the capabilities of each talesman and frequently suggested questions for her counsel to propound. She expressed a desire that no other men be accepted. The men accepted were Thomas H. Harme, receiving teller of a bank, who will be foreman; William J. Leer a manu facturer, and Thomas Farrell, a mcr- chant Over 100 men wore examined j during the day. The work of selecting a j jury will continue tomorrow. William j R. Hearst is on the panel of 200 special j Jurors. Contrary to tho usual order of things, it Is expected that the present trial will at tract even more widespread interest than did the first, the case having scarcely passed the preliminary stage when the Interruption came. Not one of the sev eral persons frequently spoken of as "star witnesses" had been called to the stand. During the past week. Miss Patterson, weakened by the strain of the first trial, has been ill in her cell in the Tomb3 prison, but she had recovered sufficiently to permit her to go to court today. POETRY AND PULSE BEATS. Thoughts Suggested by the Claim of a Noted English Scholar. Chicago Inter Ocean. Professor James Main Dixon, a noted English scholar doing research work In the University of California, has been carrying on a series of experiments to de termine the relation of poetry to human organism. These experiments, begun some time ago In a field heretofore unexplored by psy chologists, are of a delicate nature, and the university at Berkeley, we are in formed. Is one of the few institutions In the "United States which posses apparatus sensitive enough to record tho results of the work. Professor Dixon has already discovered an emotional curve In poems like Long fellow's "The Bridge." Experiments are now being conducted to discover a law, of relation between stress In poetry and the beat of the human heart and. of ths relation between the lines of poetry and the respiration. A large number of tests have been made, and .some provisional conclusions havo been reached, but before the law is determined Professor Dixon thinks It will be necessary to record the singing of the doxology or some other song by a whole congregation. In obtaining records to be used In drawing his general conclusion, Professor Dixon and Dr. Wrlnch use an exceeding ly complicated machine that records the pulse-beat of the person reciting the poetry, the stress, tho number of lines, the respirations, and the time taken. All there results can be preserved, so that In a little time, perhaps, wc will be able to follow exactly the heart and lung ac tion of the young lady who recites "Cur few Shall Not Ring Tonight," and fol low perfectly tho curves and pulse-beats of the man who does "Casey at the Bat." Take Tennyson's "May Queen" for ex ample. Professor Dixon's experiments show that the three divisions Into which the poem is divided vary In a decided manner. The first giving a mood of heightened happiness, uses 11 per cent more syllables than the second, which Is in a mood of depression. The third di vision is' in a mood of resignation or sor row, and uses 3 per cent less syllables than the second. Not so many elocutionists as formerly are saying. "If you waken, call me early, call mo early, mother dear, "and com paratively few are now dying in Algiers or asking their comrades to leave them here a little while "as yet 'tis early morn, or telling where the village smithy stands. Nevertheless it will be interest ing to those who follow the latter-day recitations to know that in the reading of them, every word means a stress and a pulse-throb, and that the couplet com posed by Colonel John A. Joyce, and Ella Wheeler Wilcox, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone," when recited calls for a vast expendi r zz MAIL ORDERS Executed promptly and carefully as if -in person. ture of organic effort and no small degree of exhaustion of the vital forces. It would be still more Interesting if Professor Dixon, whose scholarship seems to be equal to anything, would pro duce records showing us at just what point in the course of an hour's reading of Alfred Austin. Browning, or even of Kipling, in a social club meeting, the curves, pulse-beats and heart-throbs of the listeners call for the spilling of blood. HOW TO PROTECT PHEASANTS Best Way Is to Prohibit Absolutely the Killing of the Hens. PORTLAND, Dec 5. (To the Sport ing Editor.) Regarding the sug gestion published In The Oregonian a few days ago for the enactment of a law to prevent the use of dogs in hunt ing upland game, especially the Ring neck pheasant the proposition is a freak and must have been propounded by an amateur who has but crude knowledge of pheasant culture and general methods of hunting them. Fur thermore, his Idea of the. true sports man, who Is naturally a most ardent game protector, is very far-fetched. Since Gatnn Warden Baker has appeared In print as indorsing these ideas, he can only be classed in the same grade. Although the "Ringneck" is a new bird to some sportsmen of the Pacific states. It has with several closely al lied species been extensively cultivated with great success in the older coun tries of Europe for many generations. Oregon sportsmen will do well to be largely guided by the success gained in the experiments pursued by those who have been there before them than to try to force any new theory on the people. The individual quoted in Sunday's Oregonian makes a practical assertion that be will not, and that .a certain class cannot bo expected to observe thf came laws, unless they be constructed to suit his ideas. This may readily be construed as an incitement to violate thn laws of the state, and It Is surpris ing that our Head Warden, as a state officer, should come so near endorsing tho sentiments of this person whom ho should rather keep closely under his ob servation, t The most successful method of keep ins up tho pheasant supply known to the best authorities Is a law prohibit ing the killing' of hens at all times, which is now universally adopted In all civilized countries except perhaps Ore gon. It Is- not necessary to go farther than British Columbia, where our cousin sportsmen, being familiar with the good results obtained by such a law, enforc a penalty of $50 for very hen killed. As an example, I may here quota statement mado by a prominent citizen from Just across th border, recently visiting In Portland- This person own a half section of land in British Colum bia and on the" first day of the present open season had no trouble in bagging 86 cock pheasants, on which there Is no limit The state provides a good tres pass law "by which the farmers may protect themselves from those whom they do not wish to hunt on their land, and every fair sportsman would be glad to see It enforced, as It would In time mean plenty oft game for every ono, par ticularly If the killing of hens wero pro hibited. The penalty for killing out of season should be Imprisonment, supplemented by a fine a3 the case might warrant A hunting license of JL00 a year, as sug gested, should be strictly enforced. I may further say that in the best pheas ant countries they do not hunt them with dogs, not because they fear the dogs will find every bird and hold him to the muzzle of a gun, but because pheasants prove the most wily and un satisfactory of game birds to work a dog on. They aro now almost univer sally killed by driving. MULTNOMAH. "The Little Countess." Era Magazine There Is one lady In Washington society who Is a wonder in many ways. She la Marguerite Casslnl sometimes known as the "Little Countess" niece and adopted daughter of the Russian Ambassador, Count Casslnl. The Countes3 Is a great chum of Miss Roosevelt's, and during the Winter "the two are nearly always to gether. Count Casslnl is tremendously fond of 'his adopted daughter and Indulges her slightest whim. She has been every whereIs. In fact almost a cosmopolitan and spends but a few months of the year In her native country. The,Russian em bassy is the rendezvous for the smart set, and as the "Little Countess" has a great deal of the lntiativc she sets in motion, most of the new things in a social way. Her pets are dogs, and the house Is filled with them, from the stately great Dane to fluffy white poodles all of them prize winners at some bench show. The Count ess Is not pretty, but her face has an un deniable charm that attracts more than mere regularity of feature. There Is al ways a great deal of conjecture as to who Marguerite Casslnl will eventually marry, but It gets no further than that Changed His Mind.

Mrs. Chad wlck Is a bonafide resident of New York and spends four-fifths of her time In this city. Some time ago her husband. Dr. Chadwlck, announced his Intention of making his home at the Holland House, and he has voted In this city once. My client will make no attempt to leave New York, for there Is no reason why she should. She has nothing to fear." Mrs. Chadwlck, who had been ill for the past two days, has quite regained her usual spirits and tonight dined la her apartments. The presence of the secret service men at the Holland House is taken to indi cate that if any proceedings are contem plated it is In relation to the affairs of the Oberlln National Bank, as the secret service is under the Immediate supervis ion of the Secretary of the Treasury. Up to midnight, however, no official papers had been received by the Federal offi cials In this city. DECLARES HE SIGNED NO NOTES Carnegie as Emphatically Says He Does Not Know Mrs. Chadwlck. NEW YORK, Dec. 5. Andrew Carne gie was shown a copy of today's dis patch from Cleveland, in which Dis trict Attorney Sullivan, of that city. Is quoted as saying he had recently in his possession a note for $250,000 signed by Mr. Carnegie's name and indorsed on the back "C L. Chadwlck." His secretary gave out this statement for Mr. Carnegie: "Mr. Carnegie says that it is years since he has given a 'note of any kind or Indorsed any note. He says there are no notes in his name outstanding at present" The secretary further said that Mr. Carnegie had no knowledge of Mrs. Chadwlck. When the attention of Philip Car penter was called to tne dispatch that notes purporting to have, been signed by Andrew Carnegie had been found by United States bank examiners, he disclaimed all knowledge of such notes and added: "Mrs. Chadwlck has not only denied that she Is a relative of Mr. Carnegie, but has also denied that she has ever received any financial as sistance from him." Mr. Carpenter was told of tho state ment made by President Bcckwith, of the defunct Citizens National Bank, of Oberlln, O., tonight, In which he stated the bank held Mrs. Chadwick's notes to the amount of $1,250,000. In reply, he stated he had no knowledge of any of Mrs. Chadwick's Ohio trans actions, and referred the questioner to her Ohio counsel. BANKER MAKES CONFESSION. Man Representing Himself as Agent Said Notes Were Genuine. CLEVELAND, Dec. 5. In the United States District Attorney's office today President Beckwlth, of the failed Citizens' National Bank of Oberlln, made a con fession regarding the bank's transactions with Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwlck. Mr. Beck wlth said: "I am an awful dupe or a terrible fool. I guess there is no doubt about my being a fool." Mr. Bcckwith's acquaintance with Mrs. Chadwlck began threo years ago. The attorneys for Herbert D. Newton, the Brookllne, Mass.. banker, have stated that their client lent Mrs. Chadwlck money only after a note signed "Andrew Carne gie" had been Indorsed by the president and cashier of a National bank. The man who indorsed the note were President Beckwlth and Cashier Spear, of the Citi zens' National Bank, Oberlln. O. Relating this matter. Banker Beckwith continued his story of the bank's transac tions with Mrs. Chadwlck as follows: "Yes, we Indorsed the note, in addition to ono other, noto for $500,000, but never for the purpose for which they were used." "Do you mean to say that there" are two $500,000 notes In addition to the note for $250,000?" was asked Mr. Beckwith". "Yes, notes aggregating $1,250,000." "It has not been generally understood that there were two notes for $500,000," was suggested. T know It, but the notes exist just the same," said Mr. Beckwlth. "One of them is In the hands of the receiver, and.he other ought to be In the hands of Mrs. Chadwlck. If she has disposed of It she has done something which she swore she would not do, so please make It platn that a solemn oath was taken that the notes which bear our In dorsement were never to be. used by Mrs. Chadwlck for the, purpose of rais ing money and she knew it" "Did you have the slightest suspicion that tho notes carrying the name of Andrew Carnegie were not genuine?" "Mrs. Chadwlck swore to both of us and one or more witnesses that she per sonally saw Mr. Carnegie sign his name to the ndes she placed before us. But we said wo must be sure. The answer came in lesa than two days, when a New York attorney appeared In Oberlln who said he was the attorney of Mr. Carnegie, his special agent. He vouched for the correctness of the claims mado by Mrs. Chadwlck. Wc had at least six conferences with this lawyer, two in Oberlln and four In Cleveland." "How about the attest hold by Ira. Write for our Beau tiful Illustrated Catalogue. THIS Reynolds? Did you seek him?" Mr. Beckwlth was .asked. "Yes, many times. We understood by every word that everything was all right and that genuine securities were locked up in the vaults of the Wade Park Bank. MIt was over a year ago that I learned that W. S. Fay and Henry Wurst of Elyria, had had some deal ings with Mrs. Chadwlck. They were known as shrewd business men. I be gan to Inquire, for, as a business man. I wanted to exert even effort to ttim an honest dollar. I guess my inquiries reached the ears of Mrs. Chadwlck, In the light of events of the past two weeks. I guess Mrs. Chadwick was greatly Interested the moment she learned that Inquiries for business had been made of It At any rate, she came to Oberlln, and It was there the thing began. A second Interview, and I made a small loan. It was promptly met In addition, we secured additional splen did business, and all transacted In a business way. From there on the story leads Into a maze, the end of which I wish to God I could now see. It leads down to a time when I went to New York. In my pocket I carried one of the notes signed with the name of Car negie. When I started I had In mind an attempt to raise money on the paper to put funds in the bank. When I got to New York my heart failed me, for something told me that all was not right. I came back home without any attempt to raise money on the note. "Mrs. Chadwlck had secured high loans from many other bankers. She had met these obligations. Would she not meet obligations to the Oberlin bank? Wc prayed that she would, and we thought she would." The attest referred to in Beckwith's confession Is alleged to have been signed by Ira Reynolds on May 23, 1902. It is addressed to whom it may con cern, and certified that he has in his possession $5,000,000 In securities be longing to Cassle L. Chadwlck and that neither himself nor the Wade Park Bank people, of which Reynolds is sec retary and treasurer, nor any other person has any claim upon them. Re garding this note. Mr. Reynolds has re fused to make any statement. 1 SON DID NOT TAKE JEWELS. Mrs. Chadwick Declares She Sent Him Home for a' Rest. NEW YORK. Dec. 5. Mrs. Chadwick to day declared that her son. Emil, who re turned to Cleveland last night, had not taken with him his mother's jewels. She said the boy had been worn out by his ex ertions of the part week and that she had sent him home for a rest Ira Reynolds, secretary of the Wade Park Banking Company of Cleveland, was reported to bo on his way to this city today to confer with Mrs. Chadwlck, but Mr. Carpenter had no knowledge of his Intended arrival. It is thought, however, that he will be in New York before Wednesday. DEPOSITORS MUCH WORRIED. They Consider Arrest of Official to Mean Bank Has No Funds. OBERLIN, O., Dec. 5. President Beck wlth and Cashier Spear, of the closed Citi zens' National Bank, of this place, were taken -to Cleveland today In the custody of United States Marshal Chandler and Deputy Coblltz. of the latter city. Presi dent Beckwlth, who has been confined to his bed for several days, seemed much more composed than he did last night, when first placed under arrest He posi tively refused to discuss his arrest or the affairs of the closed bank. Cashier Spear was cheerful, and even joked with the marshal and deputy. Shortly oeforc boarding the train for Cleveland President Beckwlth was called up by long distance telephone from Elyria by Attorney Johnston, who stated that arrangements had been made by Elyria friends to offer ball for Beckwith's release as soon as the amount was fixed by the United States Commissioner. Now that the crisis has como the de positors of the closed bank evince a feel ing of relief, because, as one of them said today: "We will now learn TKe truth con cerning the condition of affairs at the bank." On tho other hand, many of the de positors declare that the arrest of Beck wlth and Spear is positlvo evidence that there are no securities in the bank to cover the loans made to Mrs. Chadwlck, and as a result the depositors will lose everj thing.

Impossible, and the bride, who was as plump as a partridge on the day she was married, began to grow thin. The hus band consulted counsel, and action was brought against the proprietor of the stable. The principal witness for the plaintiff was her dressmaker. This inter esting person came into court with her books and testified that previous to the wedding Mme.

They of the upper class that Is to say, those of the landed gentry show the effect of cultivation just as blood horses and Devon cows show it; the clear skins, thu bright eyes and clear-cut features and shapely limbs show breeding long and careful; the conventional ideas, the narrow range of thought, the value of precedent and the Importance of prece dence, all show breeding, too. OFTEN THE SEED OF CONSUMP TION. Druggists Woodard, Clarke & Co. Tell People of Portland Quickest Means to Cure It. For years cod liver oil has been known to possess remarkable curative and heal ing properties for throat, bronchial and lung troubles, but, as a famous physician has said, on account of tho grease it con tains. It has been difficult for people to take enough of it into their systems to combat a thoroughly settled, disease. "Now, however," said a member of the firm of Woodard, Clarke & Co., "we have Vlnol, which contains in a highly con centrated form all of the medicinal cura tive elements actually taken from fresh cods' livers, but without a drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard its work, and there is no limit to the nmount any person can take Into their system to overcome disease. Here are two letters that have just come to our atten tion: "Mrs. Louisa Stover of Elkhart. Ind., writes: 'For a long time I suffered with bronchial trouble and feared consumption. I could not seem to get any relief from cough medicines, old forms of cod liver oil or' emulsions. I coughed badly, and my chest was soro and Irritated. Vlnol has healed the soreness and stopped the cough and has strengthened and invigorated my wholo system.' "Mrs. John Hoskins. Bangor, Penn., writes that Vlnol cured her son of bron chitis, from which he had suffered for years, after everything else had failed. "Wo ask every person In Portland suf fering from chronic cdlds, coughs, bron chitis, or who need an invigorator and strength-creating medicine to try Vlnol on our guarantee to return the money If It falls."
