THE MORNING- OREGONIAN- TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1905. 5 El WORMS IRSEMEt They Will Ask Diamond and Spencer to Agree. ALL SIGN A PETITION declare They AVIII Have to Sell Their Racers for Money to Get Out or Town If the Meet Stops. Horsemen are getting desperate. The iorced idleness o three days has placed a financial burden upon almost fell of them that they cannot well Stand, and this morning: a committee of ten of the most prominent owners S.nd trainers will present a petition to Mr. A- R. Diamond, president of the Multnomah Fair Association, and Captain E. TV- Spencer, praying; them to get together and settle their differ ences out of court, so that the race meeting' might continue. Feed bills lor the horses, employes' salaries and the money necessary for board for the femployes has placed havoc with the Blender bank accounts of all of the horsemen, and they realize that unless something is done, and that something done at once, they will be stranded end their horses held for feed bills. Yesterday afternoon TV- P. Magrane, B. Polk, Tobe Ramsey. Doc H. E. Row ell, T. A. Davis, R. TV. "Williams and Gill Summers were appointed as a com mittee to draft a petition to both Mr. Diamond and Captain Spencer. This petition is signed by all of the horse men whose horses are stabled at Irv ington. One committee will call upon President Diamond and the other will wait upon Captain Spencer. The peti tion is an urgent plea for a "get-together" conference, and while thej have been told that such a petition may not have any effect, they will nevertheless, present it. All told, there are 405 horses eating their heads off at the track. There are about 300 owners and trainers and fully 200 stable hands, exercise boys and Jockeys waiting anxiously for the controversy to be settled one way or the. other. "The breaking up of this meeting," laid Billle Magrane, a horseman who has raced all over the country, "will certainly be a hard blow to all of the horsemen stabled at the track. The meeting which was in progress here was the best I have seen for many years. Think of a meeting running as long as this one has, without the breath of suspicion of any crookedness and without any one of the riders be ing fined. I tell you, this is something remarkable. The horsemen never take any money away from a town. It takes about all they can win -and more too to pay feed, grocery and boarding house bills. If the meeting is closed for good, I don't know what most of the poor devils will do. They will simply lose their horses and have to get back to California the best way they can. TVe are going to try to get these two men together, for something must be done for relief of the horse men." The horsemen will meet at 9 o'clock this morning at the Hotel Portland.

And the Gloria often has 36 or 40 people on board. Until Congress amends that section of the Federal Marine. Laws pertaining to the inspection of power craft, accldonts like that of Sunday night when Fred and Madeline Steffensen wore drowned arc likely to occur at any time. "I believe there are more gasoline launches in our district than in any other in the country said Inspector Fuller yesterday. "On Coos Bay alone there are SO launches. There are several hundred on the Willamette and Columbia." So far as any action of Congress Is concerned it is perhaps fortunate that Supervising Inspector-General George Uhler and John Bermlngham, Supervis ing Inspector of the' Pacific Coast, reached the city Sunday. The Steffensen drown ing was one of the many of which they have knowledge. "Up to Congress," Says Uhler. Nothing else but Congress can Include the launches over 15 tons In the Inspection-law," said General Uhler yesterday. He produced a copy of his last report to the Department of Commerce and Labor In It particular attention was called to. the small percentage of gasoline boats which were large enough to come under the tonnage requirement, and the tre mendously large number of boats slightly smaller which carried passengers with never a license or an Inspection. Just 209-powcr boats were Inspected during the last fiscal year. There are that many carrying passengers in the Columbia dis trict alone. At the door of the Standard OH Com pany is laid the responsibility for the de lay of Congress to amend the existing law. It was passed before gasoline was generally applied as a motive power, and is now thoroughly out-dated. So long as launches are compelled io buy .their gas oline from the Standard Oil Company so long will the company make sure that the number of launches is not decreased. Need Not Carry Preservers. Every launch-owner knows that the law is wrong in principle but he does not scruple to take advantage of It. Steam ers are rigidly Inspected, but the magic word of gasoline' is a defiance to the Inspector. Take an Instance of the boats plying the TVlllamette this Summer. The steamer Canby was allowed only 50 pas sengers. It meant a heavy fine to be caught with more on board. Yet the launches Gazelle. Princess May, Fox and others frequently carried a dozen more than 50 though they are of smaller size. The Canby had to carry life preservers The launches did not. Tonight Coroner Finley will hold an Inquest in the case of Fred and Madeline Steffensen, drowned In the col lision with the Fox Sunday night. Had the launch carried a life preserver with a line the deaths could scarcely have oc curred. Coroner Finley intends to take up the matter with the United States In spectors today, but they can do nothing more than enforce the law as it stands. Hearing of Spcncer-Scammans Case. A rehearing of the investigation of the colllElon between the Chas. R. Spencer and the Dalles City last June will be heard today before John Bermlngham. su pervising inspector for the Pacific Coast. The decision of United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller as rendered after the hearing in July was the suspension of the licenses of both captains for six months from the date of the accident. Captain Spencer appealed the case with in a few days, and Captain Scam mans followed hte example. The decision was. in short, that the Dalles City, with Scammans at the wheel, was Jockeying in front of the Spencer, but that Captain Spencer did not take the necessary pre caution to avoid a collision. Chance for Government Contract. Before many days bids for 3300 tons of oats for Manila will be opened at the United States Quartermaster's office.
