Newspaper Page Text- THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE o, 1906. 9 .FIGHT AT SELLWOOD Struggle Over Prohibition Is 3 Bitter One. MANY VOTES CHALLENGED deputy Sheriffs Take Part in Ob jecting to Voters and Are Finally Ordered From Booth by Chairman Miller. Peaoe and quiet which marked the elec tion yesterday, taken as a -whole, did not prevail at Sellwood, where, In the fleht for the prohibition of the saie of intoxi cants in precincts 37 and 38, many votes were challenged and serious encounters Detween two deputy sheriffs and the elec tion officers were narrowly averted. Sev eral dozen voters were challenged on the presumption that the saloon element was employing illegal means to prevent the precints from going dry, and in one in stance the challenge held. a Deny Any Irregularity. The election officers of Sellwood indig nantly deny that there was anything crooked at the polls and that the elec tion was in every respect honestly con ducted. The Democrats, however, are conducting an investigation into the affair and it is possible that arrests will fol low. The names of all voters under sus picion were taken down and will be looked up. George H. Thomas, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee for Multnomah County, refused to make any statement last night which, he said, he withheld for partisan reasons, but that later there might be some interesting de velopments. Deputy Sheriffs B. D. Kelly and Beck with challenged the voters at Sellwood yesterday afternoon. Late in the after noon they aroused the anger of J. H. MHler, chairman of the election board, and were ordered to leave. Other Sell wood men sided with Mr. Miller, and, to avoid trouble, and having obtained all the Information they thought necessary, Kelly and Beckwith returned to Portland. Chairman Miller's Statement. Mr. Miller stated last night that the only voter challenged and refused a .vote was E. J. Gleason, of Oregon City, who is employed at The Oaks. Mr. Miller says that Gleason, while he was employed at the amusement park had his family In Oregon City, and upon these grounds was challenged. He says that It was simply a mistake upon the part of Gleason, and that no illegal voting was attempted. "The election this year was on the square, as it always has been," said Mr. Miller last night. "Tom Word lost votes by sending those two deputies here, who caused much feeling because of their of ficious and insulting ways. They chal lenged several voters who I know have lived in Sellwood a half a dozen years or more. One of the deputies became so in solent that I told him he had better clear ouc and he immediately left." Fight a Bitter One. The vote at precinct 37, which embraces Sellwood, will determine whether The Oaks Is to be wet or dry. There are two saloons and a brewery in Sellwood, and u. very bitter fight was mad against the prohibition of the sale of liquors. The saloon men personally conducted many of their friends to the polls, but several of the citizens at Sellwood who were seen last night emphatically asserted that no illegal methods were used.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4. An "Earth quake shock was felt here and in Oakland at 11:50 tonight. It was of short duration. No damage has been reported. CAUSE OF GREAT EARTHQUAKE Committee Tells Origin arid Extent of California Tremor. SACRAMENTO, June 4. The prelim inary report of the state earthquake investigation committee was received yesterday at the office of Governor Pardee. Under the heading of the re sults, vhe report says: "One of the remarkable features of the Coast ranges of California is a line of peculiar geomorphic construc tion, which extends obliquely across the entire width of the mountainous belt from Mendocino County to River side County. The surface feature along this line has been formed by a dislo cation of the earth's crust or a series of dislocations in times past, with a differential movement of the parts on either side of the plane of rupture." The movements that produced the line are attributed to separate earthquakes, extending back Into the quartenary pe riod. In general terms, these movements are attributed to the theory that stresses are generated In the earth under the crust and accumulate until they exceed tfte strength of the rocks composing the crust, and find relief in a sudden rup ture. The earthquake of April 18 is said to have been due to one of these movements, and the extent of the rift is described as extending from the vi cinity of Point Arena to the neighbor hood of San Juan. Benito County, a distance of 185 miles. The evidence of the rupture and of the differential movement is clearly defined in a continuous furrow in the surface several feet wide. The aver age horizontal displacement Is 20 feet wide. In Sonoma and Mendocino Counties there is a different vertical movement not exceeding four feet. "In consequence of this movement," the report goes on to say, "it is prob able that the latitudes and longitudes of all points in the Coast Range have been permanently changed a few feet. :A complete study of the phenomena "ill undoubtedly contribute greatly. not only to our knowledge of the evo lution of the earth's crust, but also to our knowledge of the means of min imizing calamities which arise in the destruction of buildings and water pipes when such shocks occur in the future. "Modern classes of structures ap pear to have been relatively passive, while the 'made' ground in their vicin ity was profoundly disturbed. The weak points In frame buildings were the faulty underpinning, lack of brac ing and the chimneys. Pipe lines on low, swampy ground or 'made ground are in greater danger of destruction than those on higher ground. "In San Francisco the most violent destruction of buildings was on 'made' ground, which behaved as Jelly in a bowl. "The minor shocks continued for many days after April 18, and in this respect the earthquake accords in be havior with other earthquakes In the past. The minor shocks which suc ceeded the main one are interpreted generally as due to subordinate adjust ments of the earth's crust in the tendency to reach equilibrium .after these chief movements.' Bank Clearings Show Well. SAN FRANCISCO, June 4. Notwith standing the fact that the banks of San Francisco did not open for business until May 7, and then for several days were paying out only emergency money, clear ings for the month of May amounted to J5O.620.020. This is about 35 per cent of the clearings for May, 1905. SAVE LIFE ON NORTH COAST Piles Renews Effort for Iilfe Saving Stations and Lighthouses. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 4.

MANAGER DILLON TALKS Los Angeles Man Full of Hope for Successful Season Praises Se attle Fans Tells of Mor Iey's Dirty Work. Rain prevented Los Angeles and Portland from playing off one of their postponed games yesterday afternoon. Manager Frank Dillon arrived yester day morning with his broken iine-up and brought the good- news that all the deserting members of his team were on their way back to the Coast. Dillon expects that Jimmy Toman, Warren Hall and Bobby Eager will be on hand to take part in the game this afternoon and that Jakey Atz will be hiking1 back to the fold before many suns. Atz, since he took Jim Morley's word for his release, has been trying to get Judge McCredle to release him. He sent a telegram to the Portland magnate asking if there was not some way in which it could be fixed up so that ne could remain in the South Judge Mc Credle wired him: "Yes, come back and play ball with Los Angeles." Manager Dillon, while he has had a strenuous time- playing ball with a patched-up team, is still confident that Los Angeles will soon get back into the race. Talk of the league going to pieces- gets no sympathy from Dillon and he declared yesterday that things looked brighter now than ever. He is well satisfied with the crowds that turned out to see the games at Seattle and declared that for the first time since he has been going to Seattle the fans there are taking a keen Interest In baseball. Manager Dillon says, now that some of the dissatisfied Seattle magnates have finally withdrawn from the club, things will run smoothly with Russ Hall. From the Los Angeles players can be learned the true inwardness of the unsuccessful attempt that Jim Morley made to break up the Coast League. It seems that when Morley gave the play ers their releases he had a tlegram in his pocket from Secretary Farrell, in forming him that he had no right to sell his players, nor to give them their release. Morley also hoodwinked the Los Angeles directors into believing that he could release or sell the players and he made such good loyal sportsmen as John Brink and the other stockholders of the Los Angeles club believe that President Bert, Cal Ewing and Judge McCredle were making a bluff "at hold ing the league together just long enough to get a chance to Bell the Los Angeles players. Morley tried another dodge that failed. He informed the stockholders that he would turn over to them the Los Angeles franchise, provided that they would return it to him In 1907. When the stockholders would not stand for this, he set out to break up the league, NATIOXAIi TjKAGTjE. New York 9, Philadelphia 6. PHILADELPHIA, June 4.

The expected came at the Portland Academy yesterday morning when Dr. J. R. Wilson, the principal, announced that the boys of the school would not be al lowed to play football next, season. It has long been well known that Dr. Wil son and his associate. Dr. Johnson, were opposed to the game and were considering abolishing It at the Academy, but before this they had not finally announced them selves. Although he did not tell them as much, the Academy students are of the opinion that Dr. Wilson will not even permit them to adopt any substitute, such as Rugby, for the old game. The next issue of the Troubadour, the school paper, will contain this official statement from the school principals in explanation of their action: The modification of the football rules seems not to be acceptable in all the schools. The adoption of the English Rugby does not meet tho- approval of students in some of the col'eres. The whole question of the game of football being as yet unsettled with re gard to the danger to scholars, and the adoption of the new rules being no adoption of "a cleaner and more manly sport, the Portland Academy will, for the coming sea son, abolish the game entirely. This la done in the interest of clean and wholesome ath letics. We make this announcement at this time that students who may be over-zealous in football accomplishments rather than in academy attainments may not be misled or disappointed at the opening of tbe new year. 8.

EIGHT ARE CAUGHT Saloon Men Who Violate the Closing Ordinance. POLICE MAKE THE ARRESTS Few Brawls Take Place on Election Day, and the Crowds All Seem Extremely Orderly and Well Disposed. The benevolence of eight klndly-dls-posed liquor dispensers to cater to those who suffered from election thirsts got them into the clutches of the police yes terday. Officers on every beat and a squad on special detail kept on the alert all day for this class of offenders. When the hour for closing the polls came, the total number of offending saloons raided by the police was eight, and the officers declared that few if any escaped their watchful vigilance. Otherwise the day was a quiet one for the police. Drunken men and disorderly ones were few and far between, and dis orderly scenes were rare. The crowds about the polling places were reported as having been exceptionally well-behaved all day. First Saloon Balded. The first saloon to be raided was at Sixth and Stark, where Emil Johnson was arrested for passing liquor across the bar to Otto Green,- who was also taken to the station and booked as a witness. Then S. W. Fisher, at First and Main, got caught, and was followed in turn by Henry Sperling, 87 Fourth street: J. O. Nutter, 430 Washington street: O. M. Hy att, Fifth and Jefferson; Henry Adams, Third and Flanders; J. A. Colfelt, Four teenth and Gllsan, and Sol Hoban, Water and Clay streets. Hoban resented the intrusion of a po lice officer. He was doing a rushing busi ness and hated to have his visions of wealth rudely shattered. When Patrol man Myers collared him, Hoban put up a fight, and the officer had to handcuff his prisoner before he could land him. Hoban was locked up without ball, being drunk. TRDUBLESOME-OFFEIISIVE-QAIIGEROUS Nothing is more discouraging than to have an unhealthy sore or nicer resist one treatment after another, sometimes scabbing over and apparently getting well, then returning with renewed energy and becoming worse than before. Sores and ulcers are not due to outside causes ; if they were, salves, plasters, lotions, etc., would cure them. They are kept up by a diseased and polluted condition of the blood brought on by the absorption of refuse and waste matters of the body into this vital fluid. These acccumnla tions find their way into the blood, usually because of an inactive and sluggish condition of the system. Nature intends that they shall be carried off through the usual channels of waste, but the different members failing to perform their duties properly leave the matter to sour and ferment. The blood then, in its effort to keep the system healthy, absorbs these poisons and at the first bruise, cut or wound the sore is formed, and the constant drainage of foul matter through it keeps the place open and irritated SO it cannot heal. Another cause for old sores and ulcers is the pol PURELY VEGETABLE. ln cure As soon a3 the system gets under the influence of S.'S.

Thomas Symonds, an original Individual, amused himself during the day by writ ing causttnc comments on cards handed him by boosters for various candidates. He was caught by the police in his play ful pastime and arrested on a charge of having indecent literature in his posses sion. He put up $20 bail. Barney Smith was taken with a hemor rhage on the street, superinduced, the po lice say, by overinduglence In election booze. The police reported intense suffering among the many chronic inebriates. Chi nese gin fiends were in special torture, since the shops were kept closed down all day. As 7 o'clock, the hour for opening, rolled around, these gin devotees lined up about the gin Joints. The one opposite the police station resembled a polling place, fully a dozen thirsty ones being lined up to await the opening. CHEAT LAWYERS FOR ONCE Brooklyn Men Settle Property Dis pute Out of Court. Rarely Is a property dispute settled out side of the courts, but here is a case that was amicably adjusted. Through an Inno cent mistake. J. C. Buckley, who lives just beyond Kllgaver, and Charles Myers became Involved in a peculiar legal tangle. Their trouble was due to the Ignorance of a third man. Mr. Buckley owns two lots in Brooklyn, near the schoolhouse on Milwaukie 'street. A few days ago Mr. Buckley was Informed that a house was being built on one of bls lots, much to his astonishment, as he himself had not started a hulldlng. Hurrying to Portland, he found a concrete foundation on the lot and work under way on a cottage. He ascertained that Charles Myers had pur chased a lot near by. but through an error in the description had been led to believe that Mr. Buckley's lot was the one he had purchased, and had begun work on a cottage. As soon as the situation was made plain to Mr. Buckley and Mr. Myers they ad Justed matters to their mutual satisfac tion, Mr. Buckley taking the lot Mr. My ers had bought and turning over to Mr. Myers the lot on which the latter had begun building. Deeds were exchanged and there were no attorney fees to pay. Arrested for Smoking Opium. The police captured two opium smokers last night in a room above the saloon at Seventh and Gllsan streets. Detectives Hill and Smith, with the aid of Patrolman Tichenor, stationed themselves around a room where a colored couple were sup posed to be smoking opium, and on forc ing open the door found W. Franklin and Jennie Williams, both colored, smoking.
