Our esteemed fellow-citigen, Mr. Ben
jamin Henderson, had thingrs pretty
much his own may at yesterday's Sab
bath baseball session. The Rev. Mr.
Henderson led his flock to a 5 to 0 vic
tory and came out of the afternoon's
reception with only three scratches
marked against his name. Mique
Fisher's grift pitcher. Brown, a grain as
sayed the mound- for the Seals, andj
while he was "not clouted with the
eclat that he was on the former occa
sion of his appearance, he was touched
tip right lively In the sixth Inning.
Three hitlets caused the bellringer to
extend himself three times.
That large gathering- of flower and
manhood that graced the grandstand
and the land of bleach must have glad
dened the heart of Judge W. W. Mc
Credie and must have caused a shrink
age in the 4000 debit. The Judge
hopes there will be a few more such
outpourings, and the outpourers who
saw the Rev. Mr. Henderson in action,
and like hlro because of his delightful,
pleasing personality and splendid ball
playing, hope for more of Mr. Hen
derson. Sketch by Donahue and Sweeney.
With the Rev. Mr. Henderson In his
afternoon revelry of clipping the flip
pers from the Seals, were eight others,
all most esteemed and fellow-citizens.
Mr. B. Sweeney, not the Sweeney that
some of the hounds around racetracks
run for. but our fellow-citizen who
plays short for our champions, cut
some notions In the winning of the
San Francisco runless contest. Just
When the Seals had a run knocking at
the door, foxy BUI Sweeney and Mr.
Donahue became involved in a one-act
baseball drama entitled, "Toss the Ball
to Me. Then Toss It Back Right
Quick." Mique Fisher's loaning asset.
Brown, fell for the trick, and, passing
up Spencer, who began the play, BUI
Sweeney slipped the ball to Mr. Dona
hue and he quietly applied it to the
spot where Brown's chlllblains hurt
when the frost is on the pumpkin. The
application took 'Heah Me!" Ben Hen
derson and B. Sweeney.
The bellringer had no trouble on his
mind until the fifth inning. Jud Smith
singled and purloined second and at
the proper time Mr. Donahue put him
on thirds with a sacrifice. The Rev.
Mr. Henderson hit to right field and
Smith jogged home.
Blow-l'p In the Sixth.
The big blow-up came in the sixth
spasm. The loaned twirler lout his
range-finder on McHale and Mohler
got woosy handling B. Sweeney's pelt.
Mike Mitchell poled one safe and the
champions began pouring over the pan.
McCredie spanked one that Wheeler
overran. The ball hit him amid rift
and ran up his brisket, and Manager
Mac was safe. Mr. Donahue's safe swat
scored Mitchell. This made it four,
with the Seals something to do.
Nothing doing now until Mike Mitch
ell jammed gentle strength against one
in the eighth. Spencer ran his head
of trying to get near the place where
the ball landed. If the score board in
center hadn't been there the ball would
have been in Washington County.
Mitchell scored when Charley Irwin
lost the ball in the folds of his panties.
Lou Mahaffey and Judge McCredie
came to a quick understanding us soon
as they got together. Lou umped the
game, and when he made his uppear-
nce he was given a great reception.
He had to wait until the applause died
out before he could announce the
battery.

DIED WITH FAITH IN HIS
INVENTION UNSHATTERED
"Colonel" Tom McGrath, Relic of Days of "Wide-Open''
Gambling, Showed Confidence in Patent Indicator.
"I will be well before long, John, and
as soon as we get our indicator going
we shall have all the money we want."
These were the dying words of
Thomas McGrath, the last of Portland's
old-time "gamblers," to his friend and
companion John Elnqulst, a waiter in
the Brunswick Restaurant. McGrath
was as game, and as nervy during his
last moments on this earth as he was
when he was in the prime of life. He
died believing that his office indicator,
his own invention, would bring him
wealth.' never realizing that the hand
of death was upon him. He died Fri
day morning and the only person at
his bedside was his friend John, the
waiter, who had been as much or even
more than a brother to him.
Poor, old "Colonel McGraw." His
name was McGrath, but he was most
familiarly known as McGraw. For the
last dozen years or more he had be
lieved himself on the verge of a for
tune running into millions to be
derived from the sale of his precious
indiiator. Everyone who knew Colonel
McGraw knew of his indicator. It was
part of his life his very existence and
represented his only ambition.
A dozen years ago Colonel McGraw
went to the Chamber of Commerce
building to see a man who had an of
fice upon the top floor. He Journeyed
clear to the top floor only to find that
his friend was not in. He made the
same trip three times that afternoon,
and each time his man was out. Col
onel McGraw was annoyed, but he wag
suddenly struck by a scheme to help
humanity. He conceived the idea em
bodied in the indicator. His idea was
that callers at an office building should
be abio to ascertain whether the men
they wanted to see were in or out
without making long trips to the upper
stories for the purpose.
He began to revolve the idea in his
mind and it finally shaped itself Into a
little shining box of metal containing
the two words "in" and ' out," visible
and the other hidden. By pulling a
little lever it could be made to show
"in" or "out" at will. It was his
scheme to have the name of each oc
cupant of an office building in the in
dicator which would hang in a con
spicuous place in the lobby. When a
man left his office the idea was that
he should fix the indicator so that it
would show "out." When he returned
he should arrange it so that it would
register "in." Thus anyone calling at
a building that had indicators would
be saved needless trips on the eleva
tors or up long flights of stairs.
MAY REACH JURY
NEXT THURSDAY
Good Progress Is Made in the
Blue Mountain Land
Fraud Case.
GOVERNMENT'S HUGE TASK
Good Showing Made Under Unfavor
able Circumstances Outlook Is
Gloomy for Mays Prosecu
tion Rests Tomorrow.
If the hopes of Judge Hunt are realized
and the lawyers Interested do not allow
their zeal to lead them away from the
programme they have mapped out in
their statements to the court, the curtain
will be run down on that drama in real
life, "Tho Great Blue Mountain Con
spiracy Case," next Thursday night.
There will be no session of the United
States District Court today. Labor Day
being a holiday under the Federal stat
utes, but tomorrow the trial will be re
sumed, and if there is no unforseen de
lay the Government will put in the re
mainder of its testimony.
Francis J. Heney, the special prose
cutor, and United States. Attorney Bristol
hope to finish the presentment of their
case during the afternoon, and if they
do so, the defense should make a good
start on its testimony during the first
night session of the trial, which will be
gin tomorrow evening. The six lawyers
who are representing Franklin Pierce
Mays, Wlllard N. Jones and George Sor
enson, the defendants on trial, have in
timated that they will call few witnesses
and Jhat it may be possible for them to
finisn iith them in one day.
If tlO should prove true, the rest of
the trial will be plain sailing, as, with
the 'consent of the lawyers, Judge Hunt
has limited the argument to eight hours
for each side, snaking it entirely possi
ble for the jury to be charged and sent
out to deliberate on a verdict Thursday
night.
Huge Task Well Mastered.
Taking into consideration the huge
taks that confronted Mr. Heney when he
undertook to prove, , almost without an
important witness who was not either
a party to the alleged conspiracy or an
unwilling witness, an attempted land
fraud of the scope and magnitude of the
one described in the Blue Mountain in
dictment, remarkable progress has been
made in the case up to date.
For nearly a fortnight witnesses for
the Government have been testifying at
the rate, on an average, of four or five
a day, yet the- prosecution's list is by
no means exhausted. It is said, in fact,
that 115 witnesses have been under sub
pena during the hearing, the original list
having been largely increased as the case
developed.
Making allowance for the difficulties
under which the prosecution has labored,
the Government has made out a strong
case against Mays and Jones, two of the
defendants on trial, although the evi
dence has been largely circumstantial in
regard to some of the most important
facts.
Against ex-Congressmen J. N. William
son and Blnger Hermann, who, although
indicted for the same crime, are not Tn
trial ,tlie showing has not been so posi
tive, but this was naturally to have been
expected, since Mr. Heney may have -to
try both men later, and obviously does
not care to burn all his powder in bring
ing down the smaller game.
Except that it has. been proved that
Sorenson took an active part in secur
ing school lands from the state in fur
therance of the alleged plan of his co
defendants to procure the inclusion of
such lands in the Blue Mountain forest
reserve, the showing against him has not
been so strong as againt Mays and
Jones. The testimony indicates that he
was taken into the conspiracy, if there
was one, at a much later date than most
of the other? who were involved.
Looks Gloomy for Mays.
It is for Mays that the prospect looks
most gloomy. The Government has shown
very clearly that he was one of the prime
movers in the alleged scheme to create
Colonel McGraw had - his invention
patented. He saw millions in it. He
was so sure that it would be an in
stantaneous hit that he could almost
feel the money in his hands. As soon
as he obtained a patent he took it to a
wealthy man in Portland. He thought
sure he could obtain all the money he
wanted. But no; the man he ap
proached had his money Invested in
other things and while he said he
realized the merits of the invention did
not have the spare cash.
The poor, old Colonel, undaunted,
went to another man And so he had
been going from one person to an
other for a decade. He heard the same,
old story every place he went, but,
never once did he falter or lose con
fidence in his invention.
It is said by his old friends that a
gamer man than Colonel McGraw never
lived, either in hand to hand combat
or at the gambling table.
For the past few years he bad been
In bad health and his friends say that
had it not been for his faith in his
indicator that he would have been dead
long before this. He was determined
not to die until he had conquered in his
last great fight. Wednesday he was
seized with a violent attack of muscu
lar rheumatism and complications set
in v He grew worse eteadily until he
died.
Friends of Colonel McGraw say he
was not a bad man; simply a game
man. He was of an unassuming dis
position - but quick-tempered. He
would fight at the drop of the hat
any old way suited, him, either with
gunei, knives or bare knuckles and so
never was bluffed out, at least not that
any of his old acquaintances remem
ber. He was one of the most prominent of
sporting" men when open gambling
flourished in Portland. He was as
lucky as he was nervy. During the
last few years - when gambling ran
wide-open he was barred from some of
the houses. He would be "staked" by
friends to the extent of S5 or $13.
Generally he would lose his few dol
lars, but sometimes he had runs of
luck and would carry off hundreds of
dollars at a time. Because he never
had much to lose and often won big
amounts the ban was put on him.
During the last few years for a live
lihood he has been dependent largely
on his friends who knew him during
his prosperous days. These same
friends are "chipping in" to give the
old fellow a decent burial. Otherwise
he would go to the potter's field. ,
the forest reserve in such a manner that 1
it would Include the worthless scTiool
lands that the alleged conspirators, as is
charged, fraudulently purchased on the
eve of the temporary withdrawal of the
reserve lands from settlement, as the
Government has shown, with advance
knowledge of the fact that the school
lands would be included in the with
drawal. Unless it is explained away, the testl
monjTof Captain S. B. Ormsby, who as
forest superintendent mapped out the
lands to be withdrawn, will count strong
ly against Mays and but little less so
against Jones. In spite of his efforts to
dodge divulging facts that would injure
Mays. Ormsby merely succeeded in prov
ing his own bias, showing himself up as
a bribetaker and reckless prevaricator,
hurting Instead of helping Mays and
Jones.
Ormsby's testimony that he took orders
from Mays regarding his official exami
nation of the lands in the reserve pro
posed to be created, his admission that
be allowed Mays to set apart two sec
tions of the school lands for him after he
had completed his examination, his weal
denial of the fact, later proved, that Mays
paid his expenses on the trip, and the
fact that he reported to Mays regarding
his examination before he reported to the
General Land Office, are all strong points
for the prosecution.
What the defense will be is still a m-
ter of doubt. The probabilities are, how
ever, that it wiTJ be largely teehn
One of the strong points certain to be
made is that the methods of obtaining
school lands that were resorted to by the
defendants, and which the Government
claims to have been fraudulent in the ex
treme, were connived at by the State
Land Board's policy.
Another fact sure to be dwelt upon
strongly is that the reserve was created
by proclamation of President Roosevelt
after the alleged conspiracy had been dis
covered, a circumstance which will be
depended upon to show that the reserve
was asked for in good faith and was
really necessary for the preservation of
the timber and water supply of Eastern
Oregon.
Still another fact that the defense Is
likely to seek to prove is that others be
sides the defendants were aware of the
Government's plans for the reserve, and
if they had chosen, could have taken
equal advantage of their opportunities to
make a profitable speculation in lieu
lands. . .
. W. D; Fenton, of this city, is leading
counsel for the defense and will make the
main argument to the Jury. He repYe
sents Mays and has as his colleagues his
brother, J. E. Fenton, of Seattle, and W.
Lair Hill, of Oakland, Cal..
Judge M. L. Pipes, of this city, and S.
B. Huston, of Hillsboro, represent the
defendant Jones, and Alexander Sweek,
of this city, represents Sorenson.
CITY'S PARKS TOD SMALL
WARX1XG SOUXDED BY B. K.
DEXISON', OF MONTANA.
Says Portland Will Forestall Large
Future Outlay by Extending
Parking System Now.
B. K. Denison, of Orlee, Mont., through
whom was purchased the cow buffalo for
the City Park, sounds the note of warn
ing that Portland should enlarge its-parking
system. Mr. Denison says that Port
land is away behind the other cities of
the Coast in the improvement and en
largement of its parking system, and be
lieves that now, when land can be had
at a reasonably low figure, other parks
should be laid out. '
"It is only a matter of years before
Portland will have to face the same con
dition that confronts New York today,"
said Mr. Denison yesterday. - "That is,
unless the people of this city see ahead
and make provision for the future.- New
York la now paying out millions of dol
lars for the purchase of land to be con
verted into parks. If the city fathers Im
been endowed with a little foresight, all
this great expenditure could have been
prevented.
"If Portland doesn't lay out more parks
now, it will have to later on. And the
price of land advances steadily. The
City Park, I admit, is one of the most
beautiful parks in the United States to
day, but it is small. It is very good as
far as it goes. Tacoma has something like
1500 acres in parking systems and Seattle
Is making splendid progress in this re
spect. Portland should get to work, as
there is no city in the world that is pos
sessed of more natural advantages for
the laying out of beautiful parks."
Mr. Denison has been selling buffalo for
the last half-dozen years or more, but
the herd from which they came has been
acquired by the Government, which will
move It to the Yellowstone Park. This
herd, until sold to the Government, was
owned by Michael Pablo, an Indian, and
Mr. Denison has attended to the selling
of the animals. There are 420 buffalos in
the herd, which is the largest band of
bison In the world. At present the herd
is ranging upon a reservation near Orlee,
but it will soon be moved to the Yellow
stone Park.
About 18 years ago, Michael Pablo pur
chased a herd of 26 buffalo for $3000. His
sales from this one herd alone have
amounted to more than $300,000, and that
he has 420 of the animals left shows how
rapidly the buffalo multiply. The herd
has been allowed to run at leisure over a
large reservation, but the Government has
served notification that this land will be
opened for settlement. Pablo therefore
sold the herd to the Government, as he
could not secure a suitable range for tite
animals.
MAYOR'S DAUGHTER WEDS
Miss Nina Lane Becomes Bride ofj
Alfred G. Finch, of Salt Lake.
The marriage of Miss Nina Lane to
Alfred G. Finch was solemnized yes
terday evening at 6 o'plock, at the Lane
family residence, Oatman Road and
Kelly street, Rev. Will G. Eliot. Jr.,
of the First Unitarian Church, officlac
ing. This wedding was of unusual in
terest to the public, as the bride Is
the daughter of Portland's Mayor and
the great granddaughter of Oregon's
first territorial Governor, General Jo
seph Lane, and it was a matter of uni
versal regret that a recent death in
the family of the groom necessitated a
strictly private observance of the nup
tials. - Only the immediate members of
the two families were present at the
ceremony, and at the supper which fol
lowed at the Portland Grill.
The bride wore a conventional trav
eling suit of light gray and the couple
left on the evening train for Salt Lake,
where they . will make their home.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Finch are artists,
this mutual --talent making them pe
culiarly congenial. Mrs. Finch has be
come known in the world of art
department of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Finch leave scores
of warm friends in Portland and their
future career will be watched - with
deep interest here. The Lanes have
been among Oregon's chief makers of
history and all that concerns this
noted family is .of immediate concern
to the Northwest public Mrs. Finch
was one of the most popular young
girls in the city, and of especially
strong characteristics. The good wishes
of scores of personal friends go with
her and her talented husband.

PLANS FOR TODAY
Toilers Will Rest and Visit
The Oaks.
WILL BE GALA OCCASION
It Is Expected That Celebration Will
Break All Records, and Attend
ance May Be as High as
' Sixty Thousand.
Judging from indications, it is believed
that today will witness the most success
ful and largest L&bor day celebration in
the history of Portland. The men of mus
cle and brawn will observe the day at
The Oaks, the management of which is
preparing to handle the largest crowd of
the season.
All day yesterday hundreds of people
from outside towns thronged Into Port
land to take part in the celebration. Mem.
bers of the committee which has the af
fair in charge estimate that the celebra
tion at The Oaks today will be attended
by no less than 60,000 persons.
Salem, Astoria and other towns within
a radius of 100 miles of Portland are send
ing large delegations of laboring men.
The railroads have granted a rate of
one and one-third fare for the round trip
from near-by points to Portland.
The Labor day ceremonies will be held
on a platform erected especially for the
occasion, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mayor Lane will deliver the principal ad
dress, and the others who will respond
will be Dr. Edgar P. Hill and C. C.
Young, general organizer from Tacoma.
Music will fill out the other part of the
programme.
No Labor-day parade has been held in
Portland for three years. Last year the
celebration was held at Cedar Park, and,
while it was successful, the attendance
was . not as big as it might have been,
owing to the competition -of the Exposi
tion and The Oaks.
The Labor-day committee is composed
of Charles Schultz, W. H. Fitzgerald,
Thomas Leabo, Harry Gurr, Carl Fred
erick, C. V. Wells, Fred Newberger, J. L.
Ledwidge, George Rodner, C. H. Gram,
Miss Lucy White and Miss Mary Keegan.
The following is the programme at The
Oaks which will be conducted under the
auspices of the Federated Trades Coun
cil: 9 A. M., gates open; 10 A. M., danc
ing begins; 2 P. M., Labor-day ceremonies,
consisting of addresses by Mayor Lane,

BOY UUILDING
Right Food Makes Fine Boys.
Many people have questioned the truth
fulness of the statement that the brain
can be really nourished and built up from
some particular kind of food.
Experience is better than any kind of
theory.
The wife of a prominent legislator in
Kentucky says: "A woman of my ac
quaintance was in a badly rnn down con
dition at the time she became a mother,
and at three months of age the child was
a mite of humanity pitiful to look upon,
with no more brain development than a
monkey.
"About the time I speak of, when the
child was three months old, the mother
began feeding him Graae-Nuts.
"In ten days it was plain that a change
was taking place, and in a few weeks the
boy became rosy, healthy ana rounded
out.
"He is now five years old, and his food
this entire time has been Grape-Nuts and
cream. He Beldom ever takes any other
kind or looo. ,
"It is a splendid illustration of the fact
that selected food can produce results,
for this boy is perfectly formed, haa a
beautiful body and arms and legs of a
young athlete, while his head and brain
development is perfect, and he Is as
bright and intelligent as can be.
"I cannot comprehend a better illustra
tion of the truth of the claim made for
Grape-Nuts, that it is a brain and body
builder." - Name given by Fostum Co.,
