GOES TO DEFEIT
Husky All -Stars of Salem
Prove Too Strong for the
Local Boys. f
SCORE IS FOUR TO ZERO
Over Confidence on the Part of Mult
nomah's Men, In Part, Is the
Cause of the Victory of
the Visitors.
Salem All-Stars 4, M. A. A. G. 0.
For the second time during the sea
son of 1S05 the football eleven of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
-went, down to defeat before a team
toadied by Chauncey Bishop, when
the Salem All-Stars, by the same
score as in the Willamette victory,
succeeded in wresting: the honors of
the Christmas game from the local
aggregation.
The game was playej in a sea of
mud and during a steady downpour
of rain, which made the ball exceed
ingly difficult to handle, and also
served to dampen the enthusiasm
that is usually prevalent at football
games In this city, for there were few
dpmonstratlons on the part of the
T00 or more spectators who braved
the elements to witness the Christmas
game.
Crowd Huddled in Grandstand.
The crowd huddled In the grand
stand, using: the best of its endeavors
In the effort to keep warm. while the
22 young gladiators struggled for vic
tory during the pouring rain. An oc
raslonal dashing play would elicit a
spasmodic burst of cheering from a
few of the votoran enthusiasts, who
would not miss a football game under
the most trying circumstances, but
even these were like mere flashes in
the pan, and died out almost before
they began.
To Chauncey Bishop and Ralph
Rader. both of whom have played In
the Multnomah team, belongs the
credit for Salem's victory. The for
mer, by his splendid carrying of the
ball during the second half, made the
place-kick of Rader possible.
Many people were inclined to think
that the defeat of the club eleven was
due entirely to the fact that these
two members of the visiting team
were lamillar with the signals of the
local team, and without doubt this
surmise is correct in a measure, for
these two men broke up play after
play with considerable ease, but even
with this advantage, the visitors
might have been prevented from scor
ing had the local team played with its
usual dash and ginger.
Play J-iistlcss Game.
Instead of going into the game with
the same spirit that marked Its ef
forts against Oregon and Corvallis,
the clubmen seemed to take things
In too much of a matter-of-fact sort
of way, probably thinking that they
would have no trouble in holding
their opponents safe, and without con
sidering the necessity of securing a
score themselves, by which work they
would be able to save themselves for
the game with Seattle next week. The
manner in which their indifferent
work progressed In the first half,
fluring which they held their oppo
nents safe, caused the same spirit to
prevail In the second half, with the
-csult that the clever manipulations
3f Chauncey Bishop, assisted by fine
football tactics on the parts of Rader.
fCace. Philbrook and Dolan, brought
the ball to Multnomah's five-yard line.
It was not until this stage of the
game thnt the locals awakened to the
act that they were in danger of be
ing scored against, and the brace they
ook demonstrated their capabilities,
for they threw Salem back for a ma
terial loss, but it came too late Their
pponents were close enough to the
Multnomah goal to warrant a try for
a. field goal from placement. In which
Rader duplicated his performance of
he 'Willamette game by kicking the
g:oal, scoring four points for his team.
This was accomplished when there re
mained but four minutes ,of play.
The prevailing rain, and the wet,
sloppy condition of the ticld, made the
Sail exceedingly slippery, which caus
ed frequent fumbling on both sides,
although In this respect Salem suf
Tered more then the clubmen, for it
lost the ball on fumbles probably
twice as many times as did the wear
ers of the winged "M."
First Half Kicking Contest.
During the first half of the game,
ooth teams succeeded in preventing
rach. other from making material
Sains, which resulted in a Wcking
"ontcst, in whlcn the honors were
ibeut evenly divided between Bishop
'or the visitors and James and Clark,
who alternated for Multnomah. The
punts were nearly all well executed,
md resulted in making the first half
considerably more interesting than
:ho second, for tho latter part of the
jamo witnessed too much wrangling.
As far as the officials were con
cerned the? were capable, except that
Tmplre dinger, of Salem, penalized
:ho Multnomah team- frequently for
3ff-sldo play, but failed to inflict any
n the visitors for the same offense.
Vlultnomah offended in this manner
more than did the Aisltors, but suf
ercd for each offense, while Salem
rrts not penalized at all.
The Salem aggregation played a
ast. snappy game throughout, and Its
R-ork in almost every department ex
rolled that of the local contingent:
Salem's heart was in the game, jand
lad the clubmen started off In Uhe
lame manner the result might Tiave
aeen reversed: Instead, they delayed
;oo long and were defeated.
Bishop. Rader. Dolan. Philbrook and

NEW YORK. Dec 23. James E. Sulli
van, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur
Athletic Union, returned yesterday on the
steamer New York from London, where
he went about a month ago on business.
"When leaving here it was Mr. Sullivan's
intention to try to Induce the English
Amateur Athletic Association to form an
alliance with the A. A. TJ but this plan
was partly frustrated by the illness of
Charles Herbert, secretary of the English
organization. About three weeks ago Mr.
Herbert met with an accident by falling
off a 'bus in London, and ever since he
has been unconscious. Mr. Sullivan In
tends to visit England again in the
Spring, and the alliance may then be
formed.
OF
JT WILr BE HESUJIED TODAY
BY COUXCID COMMITTEE.
Mayor Lane Much Concerned by the
Developments Which Have
Taken Place.
The Bruin investigation will be resumed
before the special committee of the
Council this morning, and it is thought
further proceedings will consume but a
short time, as Dan J. Malarkey, who Is
conducting the investigation on behalf
of the CUy Attorney, announced at the
close the other day that he had but -one
or two additional witnesses.
It Is possible, however, that the In
vestigation may take a wider range than
at first supposed. The committee has
been going into the matter in a careful
manner, and has already unearthed
enough material to cause considerable
anxiety In certain circles. The Mayor
and several members of his Executive
Board, besides "W. L. Brewster, the Dem
ocratic member of the Civil Service Com
mission, are constant attendants, and it
is plainly manifest that they are much
concerned regarding the situation.
Brewster was a candidate for School
Director at the last election, and got the
show In a three-cornered race. Mayor
Lane Ignored public sentiment concern
ing his ability by appointing him on the
Civil Service Board. Since then it is
claimed he has had a great deal to say
on the commission, and in connection
with the Mayor has been quite active in
making a political machine out of the
institution.
In some mysterious manner It was
rumorwJ when Brewster was first ap
pointed that he would carry things witli
a high hand In his manipulation of the
civil service and subsequent events seem
to bear out this theory.
Christmas "Work at Postofflcc.
ChrJptmas day brought but little
rest to the employes of tho Portland
PostofHce. During the whole day men
worked at the great mass of Christ
mas mall that has been pouring in
oh the office and which has not as
yet censed to come.
All of the regular carriers during
the day made two trips In the busi
ness Jlstrlcts of the city, and one
through tho residence portions. In
addition. 12 special men made two
trips each, while a large wagon was
sent out in charge of two old carriers
to distribute packages of presents
over the city.
It will be four or five days before
the last of the Christmas mall is sent
out and the normal condition of the
office Is reached again. Yesterday's
business was perhaps the largest
Christmas work ever handled by the
Portland office, as the business of this
year has been larger than ever before
in the history of the office.

FAITH IN MALHEUR
C. E. S. Wood Has Talk With
President.
HOPE OF RECLAMATION
Finds Roosevelt Sanguine Over the
Project and Learns That Thor
ough Investigation Has Been
Ordered by 211m.
C E. S. Wood, -who returned from
"Washington. D. C last Saturday. Is
Arm in the opinion that the Malheur
irrigation project will eventually go
through all right. He liases this con
clusion upon the earnest Intercut
President Roosevelt has manifested In
the matter, and mjt the Chief Excc-utix-e
assured him that he had direct
ed Mr. Valcott, head of the Reclama
tion Service, to investigate every
phase of the situation and report to
hlin accordingly. Mr. "Wood -will be
Informed of the nature of Walcott's
conclusions as soon as they are re
ceived by the President.
"The President entered into the
matter -cry enthusiastically -when he
learned that the people of Oregon
were so vitally Interested. said Mr.
Wood at the Arlington Club yester
day, "and ordered Mr. Walcott. head
of the Reclamation Service of the
Government, to make a thorough in
vestigation of the subject and report
to him personally.
"I told the President, in response
to h's inquiry as to why the Malheur
project was to be abandoned, that the
objections of the Reclamation Service
were on account of a clause in our
contract with subscribers to tne effect
that we should have a year after the
water had been turned on to dispose
of the land, the Reclamation Service
holding that this feature partook of
a speculative character. In reply, the
President said If that was the only
reason for abandoning the enterprise,
it did not strike him as sufficient.

-A
whereupon Mr. Walcott declared that
other reasons existed. I said If any
other existed I had not been apprised
of It, and that It was'the only reason
that had been assigned to me.
"At this juncture President Roose
velt suggested that such an Important
enterprise should not be permitted to
drop on account of petty objections,
and indicated a desire to have a thor
ough investigation made. He dis
played the keenest interest through
out, but what seemed to appeal to him
more than anything else was the fact
that the Idea embraced in the Mal
heur irrigation schome contemplates
such general benefit to the people of
the state.
Project Has Good Chance.
"Under the circumstances, I think:
our project has an excellent chance.
I know of no valid reason for aban
doning the matter, and think the in
vestigation ordered by the President
will have the effect of ending all op
position within a reasonable length of
time.
We subscribed 25.000 acres to the
plan of irrigation, agreeing .to burden
It with a first mortgage to tho Gov
ernment of 512 an acre. We made
it conditional to subscribers that we
should have a year after the water
was turned on to dispose of the land,
before the Secretary of the Interior
should foreclose or take tho land into
his own hand?; and after he did ac
quire possession thereof, he was to
assure us S3 an acre over and above
the $12 an acre lien.
Reclamation Service's Position.
"The Reclamation Service wrote me
a letter saying this demand for a
year's time after the water was
turned on was unreasonable, and
struck them as being in the nature of
a speculation. They also -9a Id that my
expressed belief that all the land
would not stand a 342-an-acre' valua
tion had been considered, and that
they thought I was mistaken In my
calculations, claiming that the entire
body of 25.000 acres would hold up to
the J42-an-acre valuation. I do not
think it will, and in that respect we
differ. If Ave assume the position
taken by the Reclamation Service that
the land will .stand the ?-:-an-acre
Hen, then there Is no valid objection
to the project."

XEW TORK. Dec 25. Arraigning cor
porations 'and trusts as the greatest men
ace of the present time to American In
stitution?. Representative Sulzer dis
cussed the problem of "Who Shall Rule

Epiphany yesterday. In part he said:
The total population of the United
States Is about 60.C00.COX The total ag
gregate wealth Is about ; 53,000,000,000, and
it appears that "out of that population
less than Co ,000 persons own more than
one-half the aggregate wealth of the
land. And this has all been brought
about In the last 25 years by combina
tions and conspiracies called trusts, fos
tered by special legislation and nurtured
by political favoritism. If these condi
tions obtain In the next century, I pre
dict that less than 5000 persons will con
trol more than three-quarters of the
wealth of this country.
"Twenty years ago John D. Rockefeller
was worth only a few hundred thousands
of dollars. Today his wealth cannot be
estimated under Jl ,000,000.000. I have
searched the Congressional library for
statistics bearing upon tho wealth o'

down through the ages, and And that he
possessed a paltry 510.000.000.
