SALEM FIVE IS DEFEATED
LOCAT; Y. M. C. A. WIXS BASKET
BALL GAME, 2 7 TO 1 6.
Visitors Completely Outclassed at All
Folnts, but Put Up Stubborn
Fight to the Finish.
The Salem T. M. C. A. basketball team
met defeat Jaat night at the hands of
the Portland Y. M. C. A. by a score of
27 to 16. Although the boys from the
valley town were completely outclassed,
they did not give up, but put up a very
hard fight for the game. The local
team showed superiority in every part
of the pa me, and the splendid training
of the Portland team was evidenced
throughout. Professor Henderson of
the High School acted as referee,
and though he was Impartial, made a
number of raw decisions. This angered
the- audience, and he received consider
able abuse from the spectators.
In the latter part of both halves the
frame was slow, and both teams seemed
Indifferent. The same was marked also
by the large number of fouls committed
by both sides. Portland made 27, while
Salem boys were credited with 16. Most
of the points were made by foul throws,
19 points out of 36 possible chances.
For the Salem team, Jones the center
put up the best game and was credited
with one baskt and nine foul throws.
Stelnbark was the only member of the
Salem team, outside of Jones, wbo made
a basket.
For the local team Gates put up the
best game, and while he made few spec
tacular plays, he was the mainstay of the
team. He was always in the thickest
scrimmage, and a number of the baskets
made by the local team can be traced to
his good work. Russell was another
star and out of the nine baskets thrown
by Portland, he made five.
, Tonight the Portland T. M. C. A. will
' play the Multnomah Club, at the lat-
.ter's Gymnasium, and as this will be the
first game between the two teams, it
will be one of the best games of the
season. The line-up:

Not Doing Public Duty.
PORTLAND, Feb. 8 (To tha Editor.) In
the Morning; Oregonlan there is an account ot
my illness which 1 simply "grip" attrib
uted to my double duties since Mr. Short's
absence. It is said: "These include finding a
minister to preach on Sundays and some one
to conduct prayer meetings and Sunday scnool
at Taylor-Street Church." Allow me to may
that this Is an error. I have called upon many
of the sick and conducted a few funerals dur
ing; Dr. Short's absence, where he would have
been called in instead if he had been here.
But have had not one moment of time or
thought given to any of the pastoral duties
of that church otherwise. The committees In
charge of pulpit and prayer meetings are ca
pable of doing their work thoroughly and
easily, and I have never heard any suggestion
of their needing any assistance from me and
have never even been consulted about their
pulpit supplies.
Thanking you for making this correction.
I am a ever, yours,

IDHHO KILLS LOCAL OPTION
HOUSE SLAYS MEASURE BY
VOTE OF 30 TO 15.
Railway Commission Bill Also Laid
on Shelf Mormons Support Birth
Registration Bill.
BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 8. (Special.) Local
option, met the same fate in the House
today that befell the Railway Commission
bill yesterday, only the majority against
it was greater. The bill was defeated. 30
to 15. There was a bitter debate on the
measure, during which it was charged
that the optional license bill- had been
Introduced for killing It off. The vote was
entirely independent of party lines.
Another kick was given railway legisla
tion by indefinite postponement of the
Bewail bill for a Railway Commission. It
was the Democratic measure. The bill
was started with a report from the com
mittee on corporations recommending its
Indefinite postponement, A motion to that
effect was carried, 28 to 19. It was ex
plained by Conner that this action was
taken to clear the calendar, but there
were grave fears that the entire subject
would be revived, with this bill as a ful
crum for those seeking to pry it open.
The House by unanimous vote passed
the Lovesey bill for a State Board ,of
Health. This measure closely follows the
lines of one that caused a great deal of
trouble In the last session. It provides,
among other things, for a complete regis
tration of births and deaths. In the last
session the measure was beaten through
Mormon influence, so It is charged, the
claim being made that they objected to
the registration of births.
When the present session, met. It was
understood that this bill was to be one
of the so-called Mormon measures to be
put through to clear up every point over
which there has been contention with
respect to the attitude of these people.
Garbage Crematories Discussed.
Systems of garbage crematories In

herd and Beldlng, of the health and

FEDERATED TRADES MEETS
Progress Reported In Labor Legisla
tion at State Capital.
The Federated Trades Council dis
cussed proposed legislative action at
its meeting last night. C. H. Gram,
a prominent labor leader and president
of the Oregon Federation of Labor,
who has been lobbying at Salem in the
Interests of bills favorable to the labor
interests, reported progress and made
a talk on legislative measures now
pending.
The Council Indorsed the pure food
and full weight bill introduced by
Representative Burns, of Multnomah.
A resolution condemning Senator
Bailey's bills, Nos. Ill and 112, pro
viding for changes In the direct pri
mary, was carried.
The Council reaffirmed its action
condemning . the bill Introduced by
Smith, of Umatilla, proposing changes
in the Initiative and referendum law.
The bill met with the displeasure of
organized labor some time ago and
the author sent a letter to the Council,
asserting that the members could not
have understood it or they would not
have acted unfavorably. The Council
again examined the bill carefully, but
found nothing new In it and so passed
a condemnatory motion last night.
A mass meeting, to be held in the
Armory February 20, to protest against
holding Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone
without trial, which Is being planned
by the Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone
League, received the Indorsement of
the Council.
Paulinus McDonald was elected secre-.
tary . of the Council for the coming
year. Vice-president W. H. Fitzgerald
resigned.
