SAX FRANCISCO, April 7. (Special.)
San Francisco and Portland broke even
today. The morning game was played
on the Oakland grounds and was won
by San Francisco. Ten thousand people
saw the afternoon game.
The Seals had enough left-over victori
ous spirit to put It on the Beavers when
the teams made their bow to the Oak
land fans this morning, but after the
mrxup, before a house that was over
flowing, it was a delusion, a snare, an
Imposition and a Joke to the admirers
of the native talent who were rooting
for San Francisco.
Never was the score a tie. The Beavers
got In right during the second and third
spasms, and after that they refused to
be headed. The jam was so great that
Manager Gleason caused the game to be
delayed 1 minutes in order that the tardy
fans might be accommodated.
The best George Wheeler had was cake
for the Beavers. To every field they
slapped the twisters of the veteran. Time
and time again he would switch the cut
and change the brand, but this did no
good. In all 13 safe drives were culled
from Wheeler's variety, and but for a
little bad luck and some sharp fielding
on the part of his supporters the victors
would have had about 14 instead of 4
runB.
The Beavers let the first Inning go by
without doing anything damaging, but
Stanton opened up the second with a
safe drive and Kane bunted him on his
way. Carson got a smack in the slats
and while the crowd was watching him
recover from the accident Lovett smote
a hot drive into the right garden with
Stanton registering the first ace for Port
land.
In the third Lovett lined one at Mori
arity and kept on running to second
when the shortstop heaved the leather
wide of its mark. Casey laid down a
sacrifice and "Cap" MoCredie produced
the wallop that added run No. 2 to the
credit of his flock. In the sixth and the
ninth the Beavers again officed up strong
to the kind that Wheeler was slipping
and earned another pair.
Though the entire Portland team played
a far better game than on the opening
day, the credit should be cut and trimmed
to give young1 Groom the major portion.
It was his curves that kept the Seals
off the bases in virtually every inning.
though the willing fans did the best they
could to ruffle the youngster by saying
things only a baseball rooter can say
when he feels like talking.
The score:

SPORT . FOR SPORT'S SAKE
Powers' Blues Explain Their Posi
tion in Local Baseball.
PORTLAND. April 7. (To the Editor.)
In view of the fact that our team has
been the recipient of sundry unkind and
somewhat misleading remarks, we beg
that you afford us the privilege of your
columns to enable us to place our posi
tion correctly before the public.
The Powers Blues was organized with
a view towards getting the most pleasure
out of the game uppermost in our minds,
gate receipts being a secondary consider
ation. We have had several Invitations
to Join the city league, but prefer to play
independently in order that we may meet
any amateur team in the Northwest. We
have scheduled four games with the Bal
lard team of Seattle, two to be played
at Seattle and two In Portland, and be
sides this are arranging a trip through
the Inland Empire, lasting about ten
days, wherein we expect to meet the
crack teams of that section. It would
be impossible to arrange these games it
we were tied down by a city league
schedule.
Regarding our individual players, will
say that they are the pick of last sea
son's Maroons and Trunkmakers, and.
judging rrom the number of times each
member of the team has been besought
to jump to one or the other of the local
teams, we have surely selected a team
that the city will have no reason to be
ashamed of in competition with any other
city of the Northwest. Each man is in
the game for the love of It and not to
make a livelihood. We have no ex-bush
leaguers In our line-up and are not scour
ing the country for players, as many
of the local teams are doing, to bolster
up a weak team built around one or two
fair players.
Thanking you for any consideration you
may show us. we remain.

SEATTLE, Wash., April 7. (Special.)
"There is a great man In Seattle and his

der if he has been a clergyman or has
become great along those lines. He has
not, but he is great. Everybody In town
knows Dugdale. and many of them often
have business out at Twelfth and Yesler.
Dugdale is a baseball expert. He has
brought out many good players, but they
were not good when he took them. He
developed them from the raw material."
Thus spoke Dr. F. W. Colgrove in a
sermon this morning at Tabernacle Bap

the achievements of Dugdale as one of
several illustrations of success won along
the lines of endeavor to which men had

IS TO SETTLE IN HARNEY
Speaker of Last House of Represen
tatives Will Be a Rancher in
Big Southern County In
a Few Weeks.
SALEM. Or.. April 7. (Special.) Frank
Davey. Sneaker of the House of Repre
sentatives of the last Legislature, and
for many years one of the leading politi
cal factors of Western Oregon, has re
signed his position of editor of the Ore
gon Daily Statesman, which he has held
for almost a year past.
When he has finished the work of copy
ing and indexing the laws of the last
session of the Legislature and journals
of the two branches of the Assembly,
which will require about four more weeks,
he Intends purchasing the Burns, Harney
County, newspaper plant and casting his
lot with the future destinies of that vast
and undeveloped empire.
Disclaims Political Ambitions.
His resignation took effect this morning.
Although Mr. Davey disclaims further
ambition of a political nature and does
not seek any more honors at the hands
of the people. It is quite probable that
he will wield quite an influence in fu
ture Eastern Oregon politics.
Mr. Davey has been a resident of Salem
and Marion County for the past twenty
years and more. His family will go to
Eastern Oregon with him, and himself,
wife, daughter and son will probably each
take up some of the vacant lands under
the homestead laws and hold it in antici
pation of the advent of the railroad.
MAY NOT EJECT PASSENGERS
Decision That Railroads Shall Not
Have Cars Swept En Route,
SALEM. Or., April 7. (Special.) Labor
ing under the apprehension that there are
provisions contained in Senator C. J.
Smith's senate bill No. ZL the new quar
antine law, which would allow them to
eject passengers at Ashland and Hunting
ton in order to sweep out the cars, the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company re
quested of the State Board of Health to
ascertain if they could pursue this practice-under
the new regulations of the
quarantine bill.
Attorney-General Crawford received
from the State Health Officer, Dr. Yen
ney, the request of the railroad company,
and today filed an opinion which settles
the legal right of railroads operating in
the State to do such a thing.
In his opinion Mr. Crawford states
there is nothing in the new quarantine
law to allow the railroads to require pas
sengers to leave the train while the
sweeping is done, nor should they fol
low the practice of cleaning coaches when
people are in them any more than they
did two years ago when the practice was
prohibited.

DEATH DF NOTED PRIEST
FATHER DIELEMAN, OF ASTOR
IA, PASSES AWAY.
Honored Man Mourned Alike by
Catholics and Protestants In
Home City.
ASTORIA. Or.. April 7. (Special.)
Rev. Father Leopold Dieleman, the
Catholic divine, who for nearly 30
years was at the head of the church
in this city and district, is dead. The
end came at 12:37 yesterday, after
a long and painful illness, of valvular
disease of the heart. and Catho
lics and Protestants alike mourn the
loss of an honored citizen, and an ar
dent worker for the cause to which he
devoted his life.
Could the full story of his early life
be told. It would tell of many lonely
trips on foot or horseback over moun
tains and through the wilds of Nevada,
Idaho. Northern California and Eastern
Oregon, for the purpose of ministering
o the spiritual and temporal needs of
men in remote posts and in lonely min
ing camps.
Father Dieleman -was 74 years of age
and one of the pioneer churchmen of
the state. In point of active service
he was the oldest priest in Oregon, and
with two exceptions, was the oldest on
the Pacific Coast. He was born near
Ghent. Flanders, Belgium, on January
30. 1833. When a boy he prepared for
entering the military school at Neville.
Belgium, but was prevented from be
coming a soldier by the opposition of
his mother. Instead, he went to Rou
lers. France, where he met Father
Blondell, a priest from America. From
him he learned much of the Catholic
Church and its work In America, and
upon his advice, the young man deter
mined to prepare for the priesthood.
At Roulers, he completed the clas
sics in six years, after which he en
tered the American College at Louvaln,
being one of that institution's first
students. He graduated from the the
ological course in 1S61. and in June of
that year was ordained In the Ameri
can College for the Oregon diocese,
after which he continued his studies.
Father Dieleman sailed for America on
September 13. 1862. coming via the
Isthmus to San . Francisco and thence
to Portland, where he arrived on Octo
ber 31 of that year. His first field of
labor was at Salem, where he served
as pastor until 1864, saying the first
mass in that city, when it was a town
of 900 inhabitants, and building the
first church in the town. Another
Salem enterprise which owed Its incep
tion to him and his work is the Con
vent of the Holy Names.
In 1864 Father Dieleman was Bent
to Eastern Oregon for missionary
work, and that year he built a church
at Canyon City, Grant County. Dur
ing that time his district extended to
Northern California and Nevada, ne
cessitating his taking many lonely and
dangerous rides in the performance of
his duties. In 1871 he built the first
church in Baker City, and the follow
ing; year he was called back to Bel
gium by the illness and death of his
father. While in Europe he spent six
weeks at Rome, where he had an audi
ence with Pope Pius IX.
Father Dieleman returned to Oregon
In 1S74, and continued as pastor of the
church at Salem until 1879, when he
was made rector of the parish at
Astoria. Under his supervision, the
church edifice was finished and paid
for, St. Mary's Hospital was started
and the Convent of the Holy Names
was established. Until 1900 he had
complete charge of the work here, in
cluding being chaplain at Forts Ste
vens, Canby and Columbia. Since that
time he has been chaplain at St. Mary's
Hospital. Father Dieleman was a man
of unusual mental attainments.
The funeral services will be held
from St Mary's Catholic Church at 9
o'clock on Monday morning, with the
Interment In Greenwood Cemetery. The
services will be conducted by Arch
bishop Christie, of Portland, assisted
by Rev. Father Waters, pastor of the
church.
LUKE LANDS IN PRISON
GIRL WITH WHOM HE ELOPED
RETURNS HOME.
Confesses Infatuation for Man Who
Ruined Her Life Wants to
Share Prison.
RAINIER. Or., April 7. (Special.)
W. L. Bevens returned to Oregon to
day, bringing- with him his daughter
Katie, the young girl who eloped with
her sister's husband, Jesse Luke, on
Sunday last Luke Is In jail at Bell
ingham, where he will remain until the
proper steps are taken for hi 3 return
to Oregon. The girl has made a full
confession of her part In the affair,
and claims that she was so much In
love with Luke that she could not re
sist his advances when he offered to
take her away and marry her.
It appears by her story that they
-.vere criminally intimate, at her sis
ter's house in Rainier, and at a lodging-house
here. They stopped at Ta
coma and at Seattle, and Luke regis
tered them as man and wife at both
places. Then they went Into British
territory, where they attempted to se
cure a marriage license but failed to
do so, as the girl would not swear that
she was of lawful age, stating that she
was only 16- Then they returned to
Bellingham, where they were arrested.
Mrs. Luke took the train this morn
ing to St. Helens, where District At
torney Powell will take the affidavits
of herself and her sister tomorrow
morning. The girl seems to be truth
ful, but desperately infatuated with
Luke, and claims that if he is sent to
the penitentiary she would rather
share his confinement than to be at
liberty without him.
PRISONER BURNS IN 11

After Disturbing Peace, Sucker Lake
Rancher Meets Horrible Fate
During the Night.
SPOKANE Wash., April 7. (Spe
clal.) In a midnight fire which prac
tically destroyed the Jail here last

About 1 o'clock this morning the
Marshal discovered the interior of the
jail afire and broke in the door In an

Lee burned almost to a crisp. As the

prisoner set fire to his bed clothes in
a fit of anger, being too stupefied to
realize his danger and suffocated be

THREE MAYORS IN CHICAGO
DUNNE LEAVES TOWN AND PUTS
DEPUTY IN CHARGE.
Busse, However, Says He Does Xot
Propose to Go to the City Hall
Until April 15.
CHICAGO. April 7. "J have no pres
ent idea of taking office until April
15. I do not expect to go to the City
Hall Monday, or any day this week.
I do expect to go there April 15."
This announcement, made by Mayor
elect Fred A. Busse today, gave prac
tical assurance that Chicago would not
be the scene of a dual municipal gov
ernment and attendant complications,
which it was feared might follow the
swearing in of Mr. Busse as Mayor last
Saturday.
Mayor Dunne is not to be forcibly
ousted, but will have the customary
pportunlty of addressing a farewell
message to the old Council and witness
the formal inauguration of the Busse
administration. Mr. Busse admitted
contingencies might arise which might
cause him to assume the duties of
Mayor prior to April 15, but that he
does not now foresee any such, con
tingencies. Mayor Dunne appeared not to be
concerned over the situation. He left
for the Bast tonight, after having dep
utized Comptroller McGann to act as
Mayor in his absence.
"I will be back at the City Hall on
Tuesday morning," he said.
If Mr. Busse drops in and asks for
the keys to the desk, I will turn them
over to him, although I do not antici
pate such a visit. '

body Good" Sale Will Occur at
Ellers Piano House Today.
There are opportunities for wide-awake
people to better their conditions. Lots

would like to buy a high-class, fine in

eighteen splendid instruments the cele

tory, the latest styles, and as good an
instrument as need be wished for under
any ordinary conditions. And now, let us
tell you why these particular eighteen fine
pianos are to be sold for about half their
real worth.
It was an occurrence that happens
about once in a hundred years; perhaps
won't happen again in the future history
of piano selling in this town. Instead
of switching this car of pianos in to our
warehouse, it was sidetracked in some
inexplainable manner, arid while "lost"
on the track in the yards a party of
tramps broke the car open and without
regard for the valuable character of the
contents, proceeded to appropriate the
interior bracing used to hold the pianos
In position for firewood; cases were
scratched and marred. and the rain
i worked in the open doors and left some
or tne pianos more or less spotted. It
was a sorry sight; but never mind, the
railroad preferred to stand a loss rather
than tie up the car for a long return trip
to the factory, and we were instructed
to sell the pianos and charge the loss
to them.
Now, these eighteen fine pianos are to
be placed on sale today. We will agree
to repolish each of the instruments, and,
as a matter of fact, the pianos will be
in as good condition when we deliver
them to vou as thev would be after thev
had been in your home a few months with
ordinary wear and tear. And there is
going to be a,, big Inducement for you
in the purchase of one of these splendid
pianos A saving of just about one-half
the usual cost. That's certainly worth
more to any one than the extra looks
between these pianos and pianos without
a mark.
Come in and look them over today
come as early In the day as you can
for they're big bargains. These Bush &
Gerts pianos have a splendid reputation;
known all over America as one of the
most reliable makes on the market. Their
tone is fine fine rich and mellow, pure
and sweet, and the construction of the
instruments all through is high class.
These eighteen pianos are every one of
them in the latest style. Come try them,
pick out the one you like best, and make
a small first payment and the piano shall
be in vour home as quick as we can put
it in shape, which won't take long. We'll
rush them right through our shop, and
we'll finish them up as well as we know
how. We'll promise that you'll be de
lighted with the instruments with your
bargain.

trouble to come specially to see these
pianos. You won't be disappointed. Some
of them are in our windows this morn
ing. Look them over critically bring
along some musical friend, if you want
the advice of an expert and the more

Porto Rico
Rican Tobacco
ihti:I'TlllW-!!!ifl.i.F
to
That's one thing that's sure about El Toro
cigars something extremely doubtful about
the many so-called "Porto Rican" brands.
The recent increased cost of Porto Rican
leaf is responsible for the many brands of
doubtful quality now being rushed on the
market.
EX TORO
Cigar 5 Cents
is the one cigar you can be sure is genuine
Porto Rican in name and quality.
El Toro represents the best 5-cent cigar
that Porto Rico can produce. Smokers
of El Toro cigars know how far superior
this brand has always been to any cigar
sold for 5 cents.
This year's Porto Rican tobacco crop is
better than ever before and only the
choicest selections are used in the El Toro.
For this reason the El Toros now on the
market are particularly recommended to
smokers.
Every El Toro is now banded. This is
the cigar that has done so much to
popularize Porto Rican cigars among dis
criminating smokers.
