Nothing but foul weather can pre vent the automobile race at the Irv ington track this afternoon being a big- success. It is the first one ever held here and, under 'the auspices " of the Automobile. Club, bas every owner of a machine in town interested. The gate receipts will be added to tne $2030 -fund already raised to oil the Llnnton road to the county line. The parade of last night snowed the general interest. Fully 100 machines turned out decorated with flags, flow ers and the pretty bats of women. All the prominent streets were passed over and great crowds stood along the curbs. The owners and drivers, mostly com bined in the one person, sat at atten tion in front and the tonneaus were filled with pretty, laughing women. It was the first completely successful au tomobile parade ever held here. One monster machine carried the Elks Band, and behind it the whole train of puff-cars trailed around the corners. A similar parade will be held before the meet at the Irvington track this afternoon. Then all the machines will run out to try their speed. There will be eight events, scheduled as follows: Miles. Runabouts, under $750 3 Touring: care, under $2500 3 Runabouts, under $101)0 3 Stop-and-start races 2 Steam cars 3 Pope-Toledo and "White, against time 3 Brake contest, free-for-all Free-for-all 3 Boxing Contests Arranged. Dates for the Lewis and Clark boxing contests hare Ujgn set for July 6 and 7, and many enthusiasts have signified their intention of entering. The Olympic Club of San Francisco has sent up several entries, as well as the Tacoma Athletic Club, and in all probability well-known Eastern boxers will register in the contests. Letters have been received by Ath letic Manager Kerrigan from profes sional athletes, requesting information concerning professional events. Efforts will be made to arrange for games of this character. The University of Idaho bas sent In several entries lor the field and track meet to be held on June 10, among them being "Spud" Murphy, who bas competed in Portland many times un der Multnomah Club colors. Nearly all Oregon and Washington colleges have entered men for this meet. TENXIS WILD BE FEATURE Big Games Are Scheduled for the Summer Scries. Challenge games of tennis among play ers of equal ability have" become the usual thing these days and many of these matches will take place today. This Is to be a Summer of supreme Joy for tennis enthusiasts, as there has never been so complete a schedule. The Multnomah handicap bas been usu ally well patronized. With the entry list still open the number of competitors has already exceeded that of any previous tour nament held in Portland, for all players are In training for the North Pacific meet and the Lewis and Clark championships to be played off the last two weeks in July. The tennis committee of the Multnomah Club has made a request that the scores of challenge matches be preserved for reference purposes. At Irvington the pro moters of the club devoted entirely to tennis have been entirely successful and will start their organization without debt. The game is in abeyance there Just now, but within two weeks the pat of the tennis bait will be heard about East Twenty-first and Thompson streets, the location of the new courts. A complaint has come from the Multno mah Club regarding the easy-going cos tumes worn by players when it would be as well to appear neatly. One com plainant remarked that "tennis differs from football or catch-as-catch-can wrestling," and does not necessitate a j-umplcd appearance to play a good game. AMERICAN LEAGUE.

The remainder of the day was spent in sweepstake shooting. Ten events are scheduled for tomorrow and a coyote chase for the day following. Knocked Down by Runaway. W. Ci Lichtenthaler, aged 59 years, a resident of Boon's Ferry, was knocked down and dragged 100 fet by a runaway horse at First and Jefferson streets at 7:15 o'clock last night. Though his cloth ing was torn to shreds, he escaped in Jury save for several bad bruises and a minor scalp wound. The horse, which was attached to .a small express wagon, started to run down First street from Clay. At Jeffer son, Lichtenthaler was crossing the street aad did not see the runaway corn lag In time to get eat-of tke way. He was struck and burled ta the ground. His clothing c&Hght on a shaft and was torn to shreds as the sn was dragged' along. Not until the coat was torn from his back was Licbtcnthaler free from the runaway. He was removed to the police station in a patrol wagon, but was able to continue on his way alone without a physician's assistance. SPECIAL BULGER RESIGNS Would Not Stand Trial for Beating an Aged Man. Rather than retain his star of au thority and stand trial before the Po lice Commission for brutally beating a man aged 65 years. Special Policeman Frank W. Bulger yesterday called upon Chief Hunt and served notice that he would resign. In the Municipal Court, when Dan Lavell, the victim, was called out to be arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct, Bulger was brought forward by Bailiff Goltz and placed under ar rest. Two charges of assault and bat tery were filed against him, one by Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald and the other by Deputy District Attorney Haney. Judge Hogue fixed bail for Bulger in the sum of 1100, which was furnish ed by friends of the accused officer, who thus escaped Jail. Lavell, still very weak from the ter rible beating administered by the of ficer, was placed In a cell of the City Jail, where he is being attended by an assistant city physician. Lavell was hardly able to sit up during the pro ceedings in court, as he is very weak. Special Policeman Bulger was called before Chief Hunt Sunday and asked to give an account of the trouble. He said that Lavell, who is a larger, but much older, man than be, attacked him. He said he had to take drastic action, in self-defense, as Lavell was determined to do him bodily barm. After the two assault and battery charges were filed yesterday, however, Bulger decided it would be unwise to stand trial before the Police Commis sion, and Informed Chief Hunt he had determined to band In his resignation the last of this month. "Bulger would have been placed on trial before the Commission, had be not served notice of his Intention to resign," said Chief Hunt. "I suppose this will end the case as far as we are concerned, as if he was tried and found guilty, all we could do would be to dis charge him.'' Special policemen, while nominally under command of the Chief of Police, are not required to report their actions to headquarters, and only a small num ber of them report nightly at the cen tral station. Those who patrol beats in the down-town districts appear be fore Captain Moore each night, and some of them render valuable aid to the regular patrolmen. Those on the outskirts, such as Bulger, are seldom seen or heard of at headquarters, and their actions are not known to the Chief except when they get into trou ble. Decision to Bobby Johnson. TACOMA. May 29. In a 20-round bout before the Tacoma Athletic Club, Bobby Johnson, of San Francisco, was given the decision over Percy Cove, of Victoria, B. C The fight was all Johnson's, but Cove took a lot of punishment and by taking advantage of every rule succeeded in staying the limit. Brltt to Fight the Winner. SAN FRANCISCO, May 29. (Special.)

It strikes me that it would" be one of the funniest things in the world to hear John L. Sullivan sing an aria, for the former "champeen's" voice is a compromise between the sound of a saw being filed and a homesick Hon complaining because the beef trust was late In delivering the goods. I heard it seven years ago, and I recognized it instantly when I knocked at a door In the Portland Hotel yester day and was told to enter. Tommy Tracey and andther patron of the fine arts was with the "Bully Boy" when I answered the summons, and I broke In upon a discussion of the rela tive merits of a short-arm jab and a kidney-smash. We greeted each pther formally but cordially." John averred that he was glad to see me, and I said something handsome about the dethroned king looking fine. I also inquired as to Tommy's spiritual welfare, and. upon being assured that it was altogether satisfactory, began taking an inventors'- - Only a few of the best of them, like the President, a popular prima-donna. or Dr. Dwight Newell Hilils, can af ford such luxury as I found surrounded the patriarch of prizefighters. The bedroom was upon the second floor, and it was finished in robin's-egg blue. Through an adjoining room I saw a bathtub as big as an oil tank There were many easy-chairs and a French mirror. John overflowed one of the former and looked often Into the other. Not that be appeared vain it was a coincidence. Following my advent, shortly there came a very timid and very deferential waiter called "Boy, who set about serving the great "man a dinner in his own room, which luxury also is only afforded by the truly exalted. This same waiter patronizes million aires, doctors of divinity. Judges aa'd ANOTHER FIST RUN Numantia Almost Equals the Nicomedia's Time. BRINGS CARGO FROM JAPAN Letters Taken on at IZokohama Were Addressed to Hongkong:, and Now Must Be Sent Back Across the Pacific. The Portland & Asiatic Company's liner Numantia, Captain Brahmer, 'en tered the Columbia early yesterday and reached the Montgomery dock at 9 o'clock last night. Only 15 days and eight hours was consumed on the passage from Japan. The liners are making better time with each passage, as the Nicomedia came BAN KAL.AMA TRANSFER BOAT JFOH 21 YEARS. VA Captain George C. Gore. How many thousands of travelers have crossed the Columbia River In safety through the watchfulness of Captain George C. Gore, of th ferry boat Tacoma, running between Goble and Kalama, It Is difficult to estimate. After 21. years' service on the Tacoma, .Captain Gore died In Portland Sunday night. He was born at Detroit. Mich., 67 years ago, and took to the Iakea when , he was 14. At 17 years of age he was mate on a lake steamer. Be fore going on the Tacoma he had served on several river boats and was also -employed by the Government. His brother, C. A. Gore. Is chief engineer of the Tacoma. two days before she was expected, and the Numantia was not due until today. She is to leave out June 4, and as she has comparatively little freight on board, and there is a short cargo await ing her, her sailing will probably be according to schedule. "When the mailbag was opened at the dock, it was found that a number of letters had been sent on board at Yoko hama, addressed to Hongkong. By the time they reach their destination they will be nearly two months old, and will have crossed the Pacific Opean twice. Notwithstanding that today is a holi day and will be generally observed along the water front, the Numantia's cargo will begin coming out of the hold at 7 o'clock this morning. The long shoremen will work half a day. In that time the four carloads of raw silk consigned to the factories of New Tork State will be unloaded. The silk will be shipped East tonight by ex press. Two hundred bales of gunnysacks, which in a few months will be sewn around some new-crop wheat, form part of the cargo. There are also 3807 sacks of sulphur, a quantity of rice, 1370 rolls of matting. 330 packages of firecrackers, 400 casks of cement, ship ped by Mitsui & Co., 339 cubes of cam phor, and several dozen packages of curios, consigned to New York, Boston, Baltimore and other Eastern cities. While in a thick fog off the Japan ese coast, Captain Brehmer recognized a whistle as the voice of the big Hill liner, Minnesota, three days out from Yokohama. "When the Numantia left Japan the whereabouts of Togo was as much a mystery as here, and no one could have Inquired for war news or read the papers more eagerly than did the of ficers last night. St. Paul Slilnes AVith Paint. Resplendent with new paint and fit tings and benefited by a general over hauling, the steamer St. Paul, of the San Francisco & Portland line, reached railway magnates. He is the pattern of Insouciance normally, but not when be Is packing feed to Uncle John, of the punch. In his manner there was none of the hope of the thrift which follows fawning. It was well-defined fear which "Boy" had that the large person would take offense at the as paragus and pinch him. The fear was not well-founded. Sul livan out of bis cups is a good-natured giant, even though he is afflicted with fatty degeneration of the voice, for ne gave "Boy" a 52 note for 75 cents' worth of food and told him not to mind. John L. takes the pledge as often as an Alabama nigger "gits religion" and backslides Just about as often, but this time it Is for good, he tells me, and I can bear testimony that his vir tue is rewarding him. The fine old ruin which T saw seven years ago looks as If the plumber and the kalsominer had been at work. I smiled when be talked about returning to the ring, but it wasn't funny enough to "sigh or even laugh over. He is behaving and he looks it. The sporting editor tells me that he and an- old gentleman named Charlie Mitchell are going to have a real rough fight at Tacoma pretty soon and I'll bet lots that John will strike him real bard and three or four times if be becomes offensive. Sullivan thinks Just as much of Jeff ries, who succeeded bim, as a Willam ette Heights 'street-car conductor does of the fellow who has the Thirteenth street run. He's got a sparring partner, 24 years old, who was raised a florist, whom, he thinks, can pound carbuncles all over the present champion. John told me in strict confidence yesterday afternoon that he would bet any amount up to a week's salary that the bollermaker couldn't "put him out in ten rounds. "Gracious." said. I, "you actually feel animated by a desire to contend with Mn Jeffries for the doubt ful honor ef being the beet cxponekt of the Alasworth dock at 11 o'clock last Bight. She is In charge of Captain Randall and the other officers who were, formerly on the Elder and then on the Costa Rica. The St. Paul now presents an appearance better even than the Columbia. She is expected to stay on the Portland run all Summer. HUGH il'CUIiIiOCH ARRIVES. Revenue Cutter in Command of Cap tain Cantwell in the River. Captain J. C. Cantwell says his ves sel, the revenue cutter Hugh McCul locb, must be cleaned up before she is fit to receive visitors. But to the lands men she looks as spick and span as possible already. The McCulIoch came up from Astoria yesterday afternoon and is lying In the stream off the foot of Pine street. She was sent from San Francisco to represent the revenue cut ter service during the Exposition. The Daniel Manning was reported as com ing to Portland, but has proceeded to Puget Sound,, and will soon go to Alaskan waters. A little more than three years ago the McCulIoch was in this harbor, and the fact that she took part In the battle of Manila Bay made her popular .with visitors. She was Dewey's dispatch-boat after the battle. Just now the McCulIoch is rather short of officers, no more officers than were absolutely necessary being sent north on her, owing to the demands made on the service for Alaskan duty. In a few days. Captain Cantwell says, the McCulIoch will be ready for inspec tion. She will take part in the exer cises at the opening of the Exposition. Following are the officers on board: Captain, J. C Cantwell; First Lieu tenant, Claude H. Cochran; Second Lieutenant. H. G. Fisher; Third Lieu tenant, John L. Maher; Chief Engineer, H. O. Slay ton; Assistant Engineer, H. T. Powell; Surgeon. S. J. Call. In recent years Captain Cantwell, of the revenue cutter service, has been stationed at San Francisco. Prior to that, he saw long service In Alaskan waters, and was for some time In com. mand of the Nunlvak, which patrolled the Yukon River. He was also with the Bear, which cruised in the Arctic Ocean and Behrlng Sea. and established the Government Home of Refuge for Marines at Point Barrow. He is an au thority on Alaska, and recently pre pared a book on that territory which was published by the United States Government, and is filled with Informa tion of the ethnology, fauna, flora, cli matology and topography of Uncle Sam's great Northern domain. Togo's Victory Affects War Rates. A drop of 4 per cent in war risks on car goes to Japan was declared yesterday morning, after the account of the battle In the Straits of Corea had been confirmed by a private cable to M. C. Harrison & Co. On Saturday a rate of 5 per cent was declared, an advance of 2 per cent. Yes terday insurance to Japan was given at 1 per cent. Had the rate been declared be fore the Nicomedia and Ferndene sailed for Japan, a considerable saving would have been made the shippers. Takes Bis Lumber Cargo. After lying in Portland for nine months. Captain Ferneaux, of the Brit ish bark Dumfriesshire, will not see the opening of the Exposition, for the ves sel leaves down tomorrow afternoon. She bas on board 2,336,343 feet of rough pine lumber, being shipped by J. J. Moore & Co. to Melbourne, Australia. This is the first lumber cargo to go to Australia for some time. Its value is $23,290. French Fishing Vessel Lost. SYDNEY, N. S. "W., May 29. French cruiser Troude, which has arrived here, reports that after1 cruising about the Grand Banks for i week in search of the missing French fishing vessel Cousin Rennis, she could find no trace of her. The cruiser's officers have de cided that she had either struck an ice berg or collided with some other ves sel and went to the bottom with all hands, about 190 men. Marine Notes. The steamer Redondo got into the harbor at 8 o'clock last night from San Francisco and way ports. The steamer Alliance left down yes terday, taking 200 tons of merchandise to Eureka and 150 to Coos Bay. "With IS passengers and a quantity of freight on board, the steamer To ledo left down last night, bound for Gray's Harbor. . The schooner Virginia cleared at the Custom-House yesterday, loaded with 700,000 feet of lumber from the Inman Poulsen mill to San Francisco. Sixty-four thousand gallons of re fined petroleum was on board the tank steamer George Loomls, which was dis charging at the oil statfon yesterday. Domestic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA. Or.. May 20!

"Do you like asparagus?" was the way he coun tered, and I admitted that I did. "Could eat It till the cows come borne," con tinued the celebrity, and he demon strated. The only excess be committed In my presence was in the matter of asparagus. He must have eaten the product of an entire bed while he told me how much he didn't think of pres ent day pugilists. "Boxing ain't, what it used to be any more. It ain't no more excitin than playln crokinole. and not half as much fun. There's too many perfect gentle men in the game. "Charlie Mitchell and I are going to have a go at Tacoma. He's a good fel low and may put me out, or I may put him" out, but we'll show the people a sample of real boxing. It won't be no flower "parade." I succeeded In diverting the course of his reminiscences Into another chan nel. "Yes, I met King Edward. He was the Prince of "Wales, though, then. Boxed for him at St. James Barracks. He's a decent fellow. Democratic sort of fellow, and likes all kinds of sports. Yes. I've met most oT 'em In the past 25 years. A public man has to. Met lots of your leading citizens right here. First time I was here was In '84. Course I ain't going on forever. I'm not going to fight till I become an old man.' 'I looked squarely at the quandom champion of all bruise-s when he said this, and his whitened hair and mus tache, and fat. prematurely old figure made his speech pathetic. I remembered the time when I thought John L. Sullivan and James G.

To the Members of the Socialist Party and Members of Organized Labor and Citizens of Portland: As there bas been a great deal said and written by those seeking positions of trust and honor, it makes it incum bent upon me, as the nominee of the So cialist party for Mayor of the city of Portland, to state my position on the questions that at this time are of vital Importance to all good citizens. A busi ness administration and a square deal to all seems to be about the only policy that any one has offered, and they all seem to have united on that unanimously, so we can rest assured that in the future, when the business square deal 'policy gets in power, there will be no Front street bridge or Tanner-creek sewer scan dal. But business as it is carried on in the United States means to get property any way that won't land you in the peni tentiary, and the more you can accumu late, the greater your "Business ability. The poliey of the Socialist party Is the rigid enforcement of all laws. If bad laws, repeal them, and when that is not strictly observed It is useless to admin ister the oath to any one you have elected to office, and if you want to have an hon est administration, you must remove all the temptation, such as corrupting coun cilmen, street committees and engineers. It has been the history of everf city in the United States that the greatest part of this corruption has originated in the letting of contracts for public work, such as street Improvements, sewers, bridges and public work of all kinds. Contractors get together so as to get the best prices they can for their work, and in order for them to do this there must be some In ducement held out to those in authority to allow them to deviate from the specifi cations and Contract, and as a result of their numerous incidentals they are com pelled to make it all back on the r8en who do the work by working them long hours for short pay. Now would it not be more humane and common-sense like to do all this work by the day, no work more than eight hours to constitute a day's work, and in that way the money collected would go into the pockets of the men who do the hard, laborious work. But at the present time, under our square-deal pol icy, the greatest portion goes to the men that work the workers, and property-owners hay.e been buncoed and are made to pay for that which they are not getting. So, to state it in the very plainest lan guage, if you want an honest government, remove all temptations to steal and get it out of their reach. In conclusion I might quote Senator Morgan, of Alabama, in a speech in the Senate on a tarfff measure. He said that it Is just as possible to maintain with safety a powder house In hell as It is to have an honest adminis tration with an overflowing treasury, and this is quite applicable to all gov ernments of every character. I am a firm believer in the theory that to the worker belongs '.he full product of his toll j In equal opportunities to all sad special privileges to none. Very respect fully yours. J. VT. SHRADER.
