HE KEEPS GOLD CUP
Smathers Cleared of Charges
by Trotting Board.
DELMAR WON ON MERITS
Spear Testifies Smathers Tried to
Have IiOu Dillon Fixed, but
His Character Is Attacked.
Smathers After Billings.
NEW YORK, Pee. 5. The Memphis
Kold cup dispute was officially ended
tonight when the board of review of
the National Trotting- Association de
cided that the trophy had been won
on merit and dismissed the charges
against K. E. Smathers.
The case which was taken up by
the board at a continuation of its Win
ter meeting today, grew out of the
drugging of Lou Dillon at the Memphis,
Tenn.. meeting in October. 1904. Smath
ers, who owned Major Delmar and
drove him in the race, was charged
with having been cognizant of Ill
treatment of C. K. Billings' mare which
resulted in the latter's utter failure
to show form In the race and the
winning of the $5000 gold cup by Major
IDelmar.
George W. Spear was the most dam
aging witness against Smathers today.
He swore that Smathers had requested
him to open negotiations witli Saun
ders as to whether Lou Dillon could
not be "lixed." Spear said that Saun
ders offered to do the job for $10,000.
but Smatiiers thought that too much
and told him to drop it. The defense
Immediately produced witnesses who
declared that Spear's character is bad.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
John S. Wise, counsel for Smathers,
made a bitter arraignment of the men
who had procured the charges against
his client, mentioning particularly C.
' K. G. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon,
and Murray Howe, secretary of the
Memphis Trotting Association.
"I feel that we have suffered long
nnd patiently and bitterly," said Mr.
Wise. "The charges are absolutely un
sustalnerl. And as to Billings and
- Howe that is a matter for further de
velopment, which later we will take
under consideration."
The case wept to the board In ex
ecutive session, which lasted hardly a
quarter of an hour.
SEATTLE VS. MOL
BOXING AND WRESTLING TOUR
NAMENT NEW YEAR'S EVE.
Athletes From Sound City to Return
Visit or Multnomah Men, Who
Lost Ijist Month.
The fastest inter-club amateur boxing
.and wrestling contest of the year will be
held at Multnomah Club New Tear's eve.
On- that date the Seattle Athletic Club
' will send its best men to compete against
Multnomah. In the meet held at Seattle
some time ago the Washingtohians had
the better of the contest, winning two of
the four events-and getting a tie in an
other. Edgar Frank was the only Mult
nomah man to win his event. In the
coming meet the local clubmen will make
a strong effort to regain their lost laurels.
Seattle has already named the weights
and Multnomah will be compelled to
secure men of the same weight.
Willie Hope will represent the visitors
in the 133-pound boxing contest and will
be opposed by Olma Dranga of Multno
mah. In the Seattle meet these boys
fought four fierce rounds to a draw and
no medal was awarded. The winner of
the coming event will take both medals.
They are old rivals and a fierce fight is
. looked for when they meet.
Frank Vance will again represent Seat
tle In the 140-pound wrestling content.
In the recent meet he won from Kirk
Montague in two straight falls and in
consequence holds the championship of
the Pacific Coast. He is undoubtedly
Seattle's best man In his class and Mult
nomah will probably lose this match.
'Dennis who made such a good showing in
the recent Multnomah novice tournament
will in all probability be matched with
him. Dennis Is a strong, husky man and
has unlimited endurance.
For the other two events Seattle will
be represented by Chester Brown at 150
pounds in the boxing and by Homer Tilly
at 150 in the wrestling contest. Walsh of
Multnomah will likely go in against
Brown and this match should be a good
one. Walsh is a shifty boxer and has a
knockout punch with either hand. Brown
had little trouble in defeating Spokane's
crack boxer In the Seattle-Spokane meet.
It is not known yet who will represent
the local club in the 150-pound wrestling
bout although several good men are in
view.
Edgar Frank, who is chairman of the
boxing and wrestling committee and has
charge of the management, has not fully
decided on the club's representatives but
will give out an official announcement in
the near future.
Stephens vs. Haw thorne.
The Portland Grammar School Foot
ball League, which was recently organ
ized, will open the season Saturday. On
that date Stephens and Hawthorne
Schools will meet at 10 In the afternoon.
The average weight of the teams is 115
pounds. Immediately following this game
the Portsmouth and Davis Schools will
clash, their weight being 110. On the
following Saturday Brooklyn and Holla
day Schools will play at 10 o'clock in
the morning and the Ainsworth and At
kinson at 11 o'clock the same day. The
Brooklyn and Holladay teams average
10 each and the Ainsworth and Atkin
son tip the beam near 105. Two games
will be played each Saturday till the
schedule is finished, when the winning
team will be presented with a silver cup.
All pupils of Portland public schools are
invited.

United States Senator John L. Wilson,

Post-Intelligencer, was married tonight at

GRAIN STRIKE IS AVERTED
DISCHARGE OF CXIO.V MAX
CAUSES WALKOUT.
Superintendents of Several Pocks
Confer With Employes and Agree
ment Is Reached.
Because Nels Pierce, a member of
the grainhandlers' union, was dis
charged from Montgomery Dock No.
2 Tuesday evening and refused re-employment
yesterday morning, O. V.
Melby, business agent of the union,
called out the workers on the Oceanic
Irving and Montgomery No. 2 docks
yesterday for a strike which lasted two
hours. After a consultation of the su
perintendents. Pierce was allowed to
go to work, pending action by the
dock-owners, and the strike was called
off.
W. K. Scott, superintendent of the
Oceanic dock, was greatly incensed by
a newspaper . article published last
night, placing the blame for the trou
ble upon him and accusing him of an
attempt to blacklist Pierce. He de
clares that no attempt was made to
blacklist Pierce, but that the latter had
made threats towards the foreman of
the Oceanic dock, which justified the
foreman in refusing him employment
until he should apologize for his con
duct. "This man Pierce made himself es
pecially obnoxious during the grain
handlers' strike," said Mr. Scott last
night. "When the strike was over,
however, we were all willing to let
by-gones be by-gones. Everything
that had been done during the strike
we were ready to overlook, and his
conduct at that time we did not hold
against him.
"Long before the strike occurred we
had considered the advisability of dis
missing Pierce from our employ, as he
win -a constant source of trouble. Af
ter the strike, work became slack and
he, with others, was let go. Because
he had been with ustso long he thought
that he had a prior right to a job,
even though our agreement with the
union allows us to employ whom we
please.
"The next day after Pierce was dis
missed, he came down to the dock and
told our foreman, John T. Dillon, that
if the latter did net put him back to
work he would make It so hot for
Dillon, that he would be 'fired.' At
that time Pierce made the threat that
he had information in his possession
which would cause the dismissal of
Dillon if it were laid before the dock-
owners. I objected to such a. threat !
being made and took the matter before :
the superintendents of the docks who
agreed that Pierce should not be em- ,
ployed until he had apologized to Dil
Ion for his cowardly threat. '
"After leaving the Oceanic dock.
Pierce was employed for a few days
at the Irving dock. When the superin
tendent, F. B. Thorne, found out about
the threat he had made, he discharged
him. - He then went -to work on the
Montgomery dock, but was discharged
yesterday for the same reason. This
morning Manager Melby brought
Pierce to the Montgomery dock and de
manded that he be given work, upon
threat of calling out all the grain
handlers. This was refused and he car
ried out his threat. In each case the
cause of Pierce's discharge was the
threat which he made to bulldoze our
foreman to take him back to work."

VETERAN" NEWSPAPER MAN'S
LIFE ENDS AT SEATTLE.
Prominent Figure in Journalism and
Politics of Pacific Northwest '
for Many Tears.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dee. S.J. Howard
Watson, one of the best-known news
papermen in the Pacific Northwest, died
late tonight of tuberculosis and the effects
of an operation for appendicitis, perform
ed nearly three months ago. Mr. Watson
came to this state from Chicago in 1M9
as one of the three founders of the Spo

litical reporter, editor and news gatherer
he made a state reputation.
In 1897 he became connected with the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. His political
letters telling of the reversal of a popu
lar majority were a feature of the cam
paign after 1898. and his legislative re
ports in 1S99 were considered the best sent
out from the state capital.
Mr. Watson was Governor McBride's
private secretary, then a real estate
dealer, and at the time of his death ap

The Right Kind of s .Friend.
Advice is cheap; almost anyone is will
ing to .give it gratis, but when a man
bac'ts it up with hard-earned dollars then
you may count him as a real friend.
Lucy Suddreth, of Lenoir. N. C, had
been troubled with a very bad cough for
over a year. She says. " a friend told me
about Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, but
as I had tried several cough medicines
and none of them did me any good, I
had no faith in it, did not get it and
went on coughing. Later on my friend
bought a bottle of it. brought it to me
ard insisted that I should take It. I did
so and to my surprise it helped me. Four
bottles of it cured me of my cough." For

BARS LIGHT OPERA
University of Washington Fac
ulty Issues Edict.
YEARNS FOR HIGHER ART
Students, Therefore, Will Give Ora
torio "-Messiah" This Year Ab
breviated Skirts for "Co-eds"
Figure In . the Case.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 6. (Special.)
Light operatic skits, farcical productions
and other stagy affairs that have to do
with music have been barred by the fac
ulty of the University of Washington.
Work on such productions will no longer
count with the faculty in the summary
of students' standing. If the student soul
yearns for music must be turned toward
the higher art. As a result the "Messiah"
will be undertaken as a university produc
tion this year.
Last year the university students offered
"Pirates of Penzance" as an academic
production with the approval of the
school's musical director. There was a
short-lived rebellion against, the short
skirts of the ballet, but the coeds finally
yielded to a skirt that was about as
abbreviated as a walking dress but which
compromised with the artistic demands
of the management for the play.
To forestall a repetition of last year's
controversy the factulty decreed today
that the student body must eschew light
opera or do without musical credits in
such performances.
BAKER CITV AN OPEN TOWN
Mayor. Johns Will Not Change Policy.
Advocates Other Reforms.
BAKER CITY, Or.. Dec. 5. (Special.)
Mayor Johns tonight announced his
appointees except for City Solicitor and
Street Superintendent, for which posi
tions bitter fights are on. George
Henry and Louis Streigel succeed them
selves as Water Superintendent and
Accountant. Fire Chief Fox is reap
pointed. Dr. Patterson is made City
Physician and Ira Hoffman City Engi
neer. There will be no change from
the open-town policy, and the police
force will remain the same.
In his message to the new Council
the Mayor declared against minors in
saloons, and recommended that the city
put in a new pipe line to furnish 200
horsepower for lighting the city under
municipal ownership. This proposition,
with that of the new charter, will be
submitted to the vote of, the people
within a short time.
BURGLARS SECURE $1000.
Naval Paymaster's Office at Victoria
Is Robbed.
VICTORIA. B. C, Dec. 6. The Pay
master's office at Esquimau Navy Sta
tion was broken into last night and
$1700 stolen. Had the robbery taken
place prior to the beginning of the
month, when Paymaster Beals paid the
crew of H. M. S. Egeria, the cash box
that was looted would have held $10,
000. Search of H. M. S. Egeria now in
dock failed to reveal any clew to the
theft.
ROOSEVELT THIRD TERM
LEAGUE TO FORCE HIS 'RE
NOMINATION FORMED.
Chicago Man Starts Movement to En
roll 5,000,000 Men to Insure
His Election.
CHICAGO. Dec. 6. The Roosevelt Third
Term National League has been formed in
Chicago and today an application for a
charter was made at Springfield. Edward
A. Horner, formerly of Leadvllle, Colo.,
Is the organizer and president of the
League. The National headquarters will
be In Chicago. Clubs will be organized in
every county and city in the United
States.
"We aim to get 5,000.000 members," said
Mr. Horner. "It is not our- purpose to
appeal .to politicians; in fact we don't
want them. It Is to be a matter which
is to come directly from the people, and
for myself I don't care whether President
Roosevelt likes it or not. To my mind he
has nothing to say about it."
"The people have absolute and implicit
confidence in him and we're going to see
that they elect him to a third term."
CONFESSION OF SLUGGER

" 'Get one of them if you can.' I took
the car-btake and beat one of them up.
SCOFFERS
Often Make the Staunchest Converts.
The man who scoffs at an idea or doc
trine which he does not fully understand
has at least the courage to show where
he stands.
The gospel of Health has many con
verts who formerly laughed at the idea
that coffee and tea, for example, ever
hurt anyone. Upon looking into the mat
ter seriously, often at the suggestion of
a friend, such persons have found that
Postum Food Coffee and a friend's ad
vice have been their salvation.
"My sister was employed in an Eastern
city where she had to do calculating,"
writes an Oklahoma girl. "She suffered
with (headache until she was almost un
fitted for duty.
"Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in a few days
she was entirely free from headache.
She told her employer about it, and on
trying It he had the same experience.
"My father and I have both suffered
much from nervous headache since I can
remember, but we scoffed at the idea
advanced by my sister, that coffee- was
the cause of our trouble.
"However, we quit coffee and began
using Postum. Father has had but one
headache now in four years, due to a
severe cold, and I have lost my head
aches and sour stomach, which I am now
convinced came from coffee.
"A cup of good hot Postum is satisfy
ing to me when I do not care to eat a
meal. Circumstances caused - me to lo
cate in a new country and I . feared I
would not be able to get my favorite
drink, Postum. but I was relieved to find
that a full supply is kept here with a
heavy demand for it.' Name - given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Read
"The Road to Wellville," In pkgs.
"There's a reason."
After that we went to the barn of Mont
gomery, Ward & Co."
"What old you do there?"
"We threw bricks."
"Did you ever talk with Shea concern
ing the delivery of coal?"
Threw Acid at Horses.
"I did about 10 days after the date I
have just told you about. It was at the
picket on Madison street. Shea said that
attempts might be made to deliver coal
to Montgomery, Ward & Co., and we had
better be- sent there. Tom Finn picked
out 15 men and told us to get busy and
do something in the work. We hung
around until about 4 o'clock in the morn
ing and went back to headquarters."
Schultz later In the afternoon said that
during the strike, the strikers and pickets
hurled things filled with vitriol and other
acids at horses in the streets to make
them run away. He said sometimes
syringes were used to squirt the acid.
"They gave us the acid at picket head
quarters," he said.

A great many people have an idea QV IMPURE BLOOD
that old sores exist merely because of w . jawww
a diseased condition of the flesh, where the ulcer is located. They
patiently apply salves, powders, plasters and other external applica
tions, but in spite of all such treatment the place refuses to heal. When
ever a sore or ulcer does not heal readily the blood is at fault ; this
vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly
being discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter,
which makes it impossible for the sore to heal. Old sores may be the result
of an inherited blood taint, or the effects of a long spell of sickness, or again
the circulation may be contaminated with the collections of refuse matter
which the different members have failed to expel through the channels of
PURELY VEGETABLE
trouble because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. cures Old Sores by
going to the very bottom of the trouble, driving out the impurities and
poisons and purifying and building up the entire circulation. When S. S. S.
has removed the cause the blood becomes rich and healthy, the sore begins
to heal, new flesh is formed, the place scabs over and is soon permanently
healed. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free.
