THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 6, 1906.
EVANS IS REftDY
FOR A BATTLE
President of United Railways
Willing to Fight General
Electric Company.
COMPANY REFUSES POWER
At Banquet Given Councilmen Situa
tion 19 Stated and City Fathers
Say They Will Refuse to Pass
General Electric Ordinance.
The ordinance granting a franchise to
the United Railway Company became op
erative without the Mayor's signature at
E o'clock yesterday afternoon, and In
honor of the event officers of the corpora
tion gave a banquet at the Oregon Grill
last night to members of the Council, in
cluding several city officials and Invited
guests, those present being Councilmen
John Annand, H. A. Beldlng, Frank S.
Bennett, Thomas Gray, W. Y. Masters,
R. E. Menefee, R. A. Preston, John P.
Sharkey, George 8. Shepherd, Hugh W.
Wallace and A. N. Wills; City Auditor
Devlin, City Attorney McNary, W. H.
Hurlburt, J. B. Yeon, M. F. Brady, F. E.
Manchester, H. L. Phillips, of Seattle
(representing C. E. Loos & Co., of San
Francisco, who have floated 15,000,000
worth of bonds of the United Railways
Company in Canada and Great Britain),
besides President Evans, General Manager
Larrabee, Chief Engineer French and
Construction Engineer Taylor.
Evans Tells of Obstacles.
President Evans acted as toastmaster.
and in the course of his speeches recited
the annoying obstacles that had been
overcome in the efforts of the United
Railways Company to secure a franchise
down Front street, including opposition
from the so-called first families; from
some of the ' Councilmen themselves at
various stages, besides the Mayor and
members of the Initiative One Hundred,
only to be nut at last when success
seemed to have crowned their every en
deavor by the refusal of the Portland
General Electric Company to name them
a price on transmission power for their
road.
Mr. Evans grew quite vehement at this
point, and announced that the Standard
Oil Company was behind the Portland
General Electric in its efforts to throttle
local competition Mn transportation mat
ters, and said the gigantic corporation
had prevented them from floating their
bonds in this country, but had forced them
to go abroad for the capital with which
to build their road.
Offers to Do Battle.
"Thank God, we have got that money
now," he said. "The San Francisco fire
handicapped us somewhat, but through
the efforts of a firm, whose representative
is with us tonight, we went to Canada
and Scotland and are now here with
to.OOO.OOO to complete our railway system
without further delay. As part of the
inside history of this transaction I desire
to say that if the Portland General per
sists In ItB refusal to sell us power that
we are prepared to go before the Council
and ask for a franchise to install in this
city one of the greatest electric generat
ing plants in the Northwest."
Great applause greeted these remarks,
and Councilman Wills moved, as the
sense of the members of the body present,
that unless the Portland General con
sented to incorporate in its ordinance for
a new power franchise now pending be
fore the Council a provision that there
should be no discrimination against the
United Railways Company and other cor
porations in this respect, the Council
would vote to deny its application. The
motion prevailed unanimously.
Toasts were responded to In a felicitous
manner by all those present, the basis
of the speeches being the benefits that
were certain to accrue to the City of
Portland through the granting of the
franchises to the United Railways Com
pany and Willamette Valley Traction
Company, the statement being repeatedly
vouchsafed that the interests of the
municipality were safeguarded In every
way.
A pleasing feature of the occasion was
a miniature railway track, with a com
plete train of cars, operated the entire
length of the center of the long table,
' with a circular turn In front of President
Evans, the whole being a clever idea of
his wife.
E FISHER CONFIDENT
THINKS COAST LEAGUE WILL
HAVE PROSPEROUS SEASON.
Passes Through Portland With Fres
no Balltossers En Route
to Seattle.
Mlque Fisher, "Happy" Hogan and the
rest of the Fresno balltossers spent a
part of yesterday in Portland. The Fresno
team was on its way to Seattle, where It
plays during the coming week. When
they have finished the series Fisher's
men will be seen at Twenty-fourth and
Vaughn streets. Fisher, like Manager
Frank Dillon, will not listen to any talk
of the league not finishing the season.
On the contrary. Fisher Is positive in his
assertion that the league will not only
play through the season, but will wind
up with money In its coffers.
If Charley Graham recovers his health
after his return to the Coast and wants
to rlay ball. Fisher will be only too glad
to give him a welcome to the Tiger fold.
The news that Graham fell off In his
clever work behind the bat occasioned
considerable surprise among the fans.
Graham's work early in the season was
up to his usual clever standard. The
change In climate and the fact that Char
ley received word that his wife was very
ill, upset him, and his work fell off. Sud
denly he made up his mind to return
home and notilied the Boston manage
ment ana started for California.
Fisher, as soon as he heard that Gra
ham was on his way home, began burn
ing the wires between Oakland and Bos
ton, asking permilon to use Graham
and he has made an offer to buy hlra out
right. Rain again caused the postponement of
the series between Los Angeles and Port
land yesterday. They will be on hand this
afternoon, however, provided the weather
man is on his good behavior.

STUDIES THE RUGBY GAME.
Lanagan, the Stanford Coach, Visits
Victoria and Vancouver,
James F. Lanagan, the football coach
of Stanford University, has returned from
his trip to Vancouver and Victoria, in
British Columbia, where he went several
weeks ago to study the game of Rugby,
which the faculty Is desirous of intro
ducing at Stanford next year.
When the old game of football was
ruled out at the California universities
last winter and Rugby offered as a sub
stitute, .many an athletic follower asked
at once: "What will Lanagan do?' Lan
agan soon announced himself. He said
he would go where the English game was
played and see Just what it was like be
fore he attempted to coach it.
WThen seen last evening the veteran
coach said: "I have been two weeks in
the Canadian towns where the Rugby
game is played and although I know
now but the elementary principles of the
game, I am very favorably impressed
with it, and I am rather Inclined to think
the athletes at Stanford who protested
loudly at the abolition of the old game
will also like it.
"The athletic clubs of Victoria and
Vancouver are enthusiastic over the idea
of . arranging for international matches
after the California universities have
been playing Rugby for a few years.
They say then that they can bring teama
over from New Zealand and from Eng
land."
Mr. Lanagan will probably spend part of
the Summer in Portland.

Yacht Buffeted by Great Storm.
NEW YORK, June 5. A cable dispatch
to a morning paper from Hamilton Ber-
muda, contains further details of the
plucky voyage of the sloop Gauntlet, the
smallest of the trio of yawls that started
in the Sir Thomas Upton race from New
York, and whose arrival at the finish
was reported last night. G. W. Robinson,
his wife and the two amateurs In his
crew were completely exhausted when
they reached the harbor.
Mr. Robinson, in speaking of the trip,
said:
"The Gauntlet ran into a gale on Sat
urday as soon as she got outside Sandy
Hook, and the yacht was blown 330 miles
to the east of Sandy Hook. Then we
were hove to for 21 hours in the Gulf
Stream, after which the wind moderated
and we proceeded with fresh winds and
squalls nearly all the way. Altogether,
the Gauntlet sailed about 1200 miles.
The Gauntlet's actual time over the
course from Gravesend Bay to the finish
ing line off St. David's Head was 9 days,
26 minutes. She gets an allowance from
the Tamerlane, the winner, of 16 hours.
10 minutes: her net time was 8 days, 8

SEVERAL ARE DROWNED
Life-Savlng Crews Now Endeavor to
Bring Members of Crew
to Shore Vessels to
the Rescue.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5. Reports re
ceived today by the Merchants Exchange
say that the schooner Volunteer is lying
75 yards from the shore, and that the
captain and crew have not yet been taken
oft. The tug Relief and the life-saving
crews from Point Bonita, Point Reyes
and the Golden Gate station have gone
to the scene of the wreck.
The revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch
has also been despatched to aid in the
work of rescue. So far as has been
learned those on board the vessel are
not yet In imminent danger.
The Volunteer is owned by the Simpson
Lumber Company of tnis city. She is of
542 tons burden and carries a crew of
10 men. She is in ballast and was on her
way North to load lumber for this port.
It is believed that the schooner, wnicn
is a four-master, will be a total loss,
though strong hopes are entertained that
the captain, his wife and the seven mem
bers of the crew will be saved.
A telephone message from Bodega to
night says, that the schooner Volunteer,
which went on the rocks early tnis
morning has gone to pieces. The cargo
will be a total loss. The captain and
crew, including the former's wife, were
all saved through the efforts of the coast
residents, who succeeded in getting a line
aboard.
SHIPPING STILL TIED UP.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 5. The coast
wise shipping of this port is practically

today at which the Sailors' Union re
Iterated its demands for more pay and
the United Shipping and Transportation
Association flatly refused to give it. Both
sides declare that there will be no fur
ther efforts to reach an agreement.

Company again offered to increase sea
men's wages J2.50 a month, but the Sail
ors' Union kept to their original demands

Passage With Restrictions Placed
Upon Druggists Selling Llqnor.
TACOMA. Wash., June 5.-(Speclal.)
With but one dissenting vote the judiciary
committee .of the City Council today
agreed to recommend for passage the
new saloon ordinance introduced two
weeks ago by Councilman Richards. No
changes were made in the measure other
than adding a section dealing with the
sale of. intoxicating liquors by druggists.
The new clause puts the druggists strictly
under the limitations of the state law.
The $1000 license . fee and the antl-
wineroom and anti-gambling features met
with the approval of a majority of the
committee. The ordinance will come up
for final passage tomorrow night at the
regular meeting of the City Council. It
will probably be passed by a vote of 10
to 6.
Representatives of the brewing com
panies, besides saloonkeepers and others
identified with the liquor Interests, were
present. Many citizens who were inter
ested in the matter were on hand and the
Council chamber was crowded when
Chairman Doud called the committee to
order and began reading the new or
dinance.

CAUTION PIANO OWNERS
Word has been received again that.
same as a few years ago, some clever and
glib-tongued solicitors are calling upon
piano owners, making them believe that
their pianos are motn-eaten, or rusted
out, and offering, usually for a big amount
of money, to restore tnem, ana further
more, to "moth-proof" and "rust-proof
them. We wish to caution our patrons
again as we have found from experience
that most of such work is nothing more
nor less than an attempt to obtain money
under false pretenses. As a usual thing,
a great deal more harm is done to pianos
by such tramp tuners than good. Eilers

CLAIMS TO BE RESISTED.
Stanford Executors Say Widow Will
Not Get a Dollar.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 5. The suit
filed yesterday by Annie Cunningham
Stanford against the Stanford estate is
treated lightly by the attorneys for the
executors. Mountford Wilson declares
that the claim of Asa Stanford's supposed-
widow possesses no merit whatever and
will be fought without the possibility of a
compromise or settlement of a dollar.
'This woman's claim," said Mr. Wil
son today, "in the judgment of the ex
ecutors and their attorneys, Wilson &
Wilson, and Judge Samuel F. Leibbe, is
entirely without merit. It was presented
to the executors and rejected before she
arrived on this Coast. The allegations
charging my dead brother, Russell Wil
son, and Mrs. Stanford with conspiracy
are entirely untrue and false in every
sense. There was no conspiracy and
nothing was concealed. Indeed, the state
ment that JoOO.000 worth of stock was held
in trust for Asa Stanford is utterly ridic
ulous. Not one dollar will "be forthcom
ing on such a claim, and the suit will be
contested to the very end."

SPOKANE, June E. Disgusted by
charges of secret deals preferred by Jack

with counter charges against Mooney,
members of the Spokane Amateur Ath
letic Club have called for a mass meeting
of the members to take place Thursday
night to take steps to put a stop forever
to prizefights under the club's manage
ment. This may mean the stopping of
all prizefights in Spokane for months to
come.

That all persons who have arrived at the years of maturity

than a glass of good, pure beer. What constitutes pure, healthy
