League 'Will Not Be Invaded and
Other Cities Would Be a
Drag on Organization.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S. (Special.)
Baseball magnates of the Pacific Coast
league axe gathered here for the annual
meeting tomorrow. Judge W. W. Mc
Credlo is here from Portland and Henry
Berry from Los Angeles. C. W. Pendle
ton, also of the Los Angeles Club, will
arrive Friday morning and the outside
delegates will toe reinforced by Bd M.
"Walter of the Oakland Club; F. M. Ish,
of the San Francisco Club; President J.
Cal Ewing, of the same club, and Secre
tary D. W. Long.
Although the question of a six-team
league is given consideration. Judging from
the views of the men who are already on
the ground, the Pacific Coast League is
very likely to continue along the old lines
with four clubs. While a majority of the
delegates agree that six teams would be
preferable, they feel that to take In cities
.that would not be self-supporting would
weaken their organization.
Where Is Sixth Team?
Henry Berry -will champion the cause of
the Los Angeles ibustness men. who want
team in Venice, so that Los Angeles
might have practically continuous balL
The trouble Is to find the sixth city. The
directors are averse to breaking into any
of the cities occupied by the State League
end they doubt whether Stockton, Sacra
mento or San Jose would support a club
In this league.
Utah is anxious for a franchise In the
Coast League and has made application
with a suitable guarantee through Mr.
Ewing.- Judge McCredie says that Salt
3a.ke is a fair city for baseball, but the
trouble is the distance from ths other
cities in the league.
Will Stick to Four Teams.
' "I feel as I have always felt," said Mr.
Ewing today, "that unless we can
strengthen our league, we should go
ahead as we are now doing. We can
make money and give a better class of
ball than if we had to support a city In
the league."
Judge McCredie, although anxious at
ail times for . more teams, subscribes to
tbis doctrine, which, it Is safe to say,
will foe the plan carried out at the meet
ing Friday.

ELDER IS FOUND GUILTY
ACCUSED OF IMPROPER RELA
TIONS WITH POSTMISTRESS.
Philadelphia Methodist Suspended
by "Nine Triers" Because of Un
signed Letter in His Care.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2. The "nine
triers," appointed to hear charges pre
ferred against Rev. William H. Schaef
fer, presiding elder of the West Dis
trict of the Philadelphia Methodist
Episcopal Conference, returned a ver
dict tonight against the accused. While
no specifications have been made' offi
cially as to the nature of the charges,
it is believed that Dr. Schaeffer is
charged with "conduct unbecoming a
minister," in his relations with Mrs.
Martha Deichley, Postmistress of Mor
gantown. Pa. The "triers" simply de
cided that the charges had been sub
stantiated, and Dr. Schaeffer is sus
pended from all ministerial services
and church privileges, pending the
meeting of the Philadelphia conference
in March, before which he will be for
mally tried. .
The charges against Dr. Schaeffer are
based principally upon the finding of
an unsigned letter, which it is alleged
he received from Mrs, Deichley while
he occupied rooms at the home of Mrs.
L. M. Shaw, in thia city. Dr. Schaeffer
and his friends contended that the let
ter was not written by Mrs. Deichley,
as alleged.
Dr. Schaeffer refused to comment
upon the verdict, though he admitted
the result was a surprise. The case
has been the sensation of the year in
church circles.

XEW
In Volcano Creek, a tributary of the Kern River, In the heart of the Sierras, Bartan W. Evermann, la charge of a
fisheries bureau expedition, has discovered a new golden trout, which he has named the Roosevelt trout, in honor of
the President. Its distinctive features are Us rich, rolden color and the brilliancy of the "speckles" on its dorsal
fin. Violent volcanlo action, ages ago, created three waterfalls in Volcano Creek, imprisoning the flan that had worked
up from the Kern River. These natural barriers have had the effect of keeping out other fish and keeping In the trout

other trout cannot penetrate there.

the time has arrived when I must de-,
mand that Dr. Jordan produce some sort
of proof for the numerous statements he
has made challenging my personal integ
rity and methods.
"Dr. Jordan states that while George
Gregory was in the Washburn prepara
tory school at San Jose, CaL, there came
an offer from Yost, through a local agent,
of S1500 to begin with if he would enter
Michigan. Gregory accepted It and went.
I will give tlOOO to any charitable institu
tion in Detroit that he may name If he
can prove there Is one word of truth in
this statement.
"In order that I might first give Dr.
Jordan an opportunity to vouchsafe the
proof of any such statement, at my re
quest two Detroit friends asked him for
the name of my agent in the Gregory
matter.
"Dr. Jordan replied that he had no
thought of reviving old Issues, but will
now place all information with Plexotto
for fullest investigation; that he cannot
make publio his sources of Information
without permission.
"My denial is backed up as strongly as
I can make it. I have a telegram irom
Gregory in which he says:
" 'Seattle, Wash., Dec. 2L F. EL Yost,
Detroit, Mich.: You never offered me
$1600, nor any part thereof, to enter
Michigan. G. W. GREGORY.'
"Dr. Jordan has also assailed the schol
astic eligibility of W. Martin Heston and
Ralph Rose. Heston entered Michigan
as a graduate of San Jose Normal, from
which institution Leland Stanford admits
graduates not only without examination,
but also with full semesters credit. Rose
ntarrri Miehiean on his High School di
ploma, and Michigan deserves credit for
dropping a man who holds seven world's
records, and this without protest from
any one. President Jordan fell flat when
requested by the Amateur Athletic Union
for proof of Rose a proiessronaiism.
"Such statements as those made by Dr.
Jordan have poisoned the minds of many
prospective students of atmetic anility.
They may perhaps be pardoned- for
drawing the Inference that some one is
waiting with open hands on every corner
of every campus to help thera through
their university course. Perhaps it is
but natural that they are disappointed
when they find that such conditions pre
vail largely in the imagination."

Think Anti-Betting Bill Will Fall.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Men interested
in racing in New York State express
considerable surprise at the stand
taken by Governor Hughes in his roes
sage to the Legislature on the racing
question. It is the general opinion that
the Governor will be' unable to secure
the passage of a bill which will en
tirely wipe out betting at racetracks.
They expect the agricultural associations
to fight the bill as they are the benefi
ciaries under the S per cent tax levied on
the racing clubs. The revenues from this
source' in the last eight years have been
from 127,000 in 1895 to $201,000 in 1808.

SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. t, Adjutant
General J. B. Lauck will leave for Wash

make the National Guard of California,

force and this Is the subject of the

General Lauck, General Flnzer, of Ore

tional Guard alone and forming separate
artillery organizations. They believe it
would work a hardship on the National
Guard if It were to be made to perform
regular duties as those of a coast artil

War Department.
General W. E. Flnzer, of Oregon, leaves

ranged to leave Saturday. It Is believed
that upon the return of the three offi

STAND BY STATEMENT NO. 1
Saya Mr. Holman, Even If It
Smashes "Practical Politics.";
DALLAS, Or, Jan. 2. (To the Editor.)
It Is not often that we farmers and frult
ralsers "butt in" to discuss law and con
stitutional questions, but we do sometimes
think that we can get at a question In a
plain way without any splitting of hairs
"twlxt north and northwest side." The
question Is: "Shall United States Senators
be elected by the direct vote of the people?"
In the platforms of several state conven
tions, the Republicans declared In favor of
electing United States Senators by the vote
of the people; and In those conventions were
men who now aspire to be United States
Senators. Were they honest In submitting
such, platforms to the people r Did they
mean It when out on the stump affirming
their unqualified indorsement of the plat
form? Suppose the United States Constitution
had been amended as demanded, what
would have bean the practical result? The
political parties would have placed their
candidates tor United States senators before
the people and at the election each voter
would have recorded his preference, and
the candidate receiving the highest number
of votes would have been elected and this
would have been the end of the fight. That
Is Just the condition of thlnirs demanded by
the rarty on several occasions.
What Is the condition under the present
system in OregronT The parties name their
candidates in April and the people express
their choice in June, and If the members
or the Legislature carry out the express
choice of the people, the candidate chosen
by the people Is selected by the Legislature,
and the practical result Is to elect United
States Senators by the direct vote of the
people.
What is the real difference between the
"consummation so devoutly wished" by the
conventions and the consummation of the
people, when the direct primary law was
passed? I am free to admit that If the
people demand adherence to Statement No.
1 and the pledge Is given and carried out.
It will play havoc with practical politics.
Wo would not have, for example. State
Senator A. meets Senatorial Candidate B. and
have a talk with him; then, next day State
Senator A. changing his vote from the
choice of the people to Candidate B. When
Candidate B. becomes a Senator, his pro
found wisdom Is stirred to its depths and
he concludes that Senator A. Is the best
man In all the connty of historic name to
be made postmaster! Such accidental dis
coveries and changes would cease under a
faithful execution of the spirit of our present
law. The majority of the people are. and
the "majority of the soldiers at Browns
ville) are-" In favor of a fair deal.
The law as we have It Is the best that
can be bad at present, and If earned out
will secure for the people what our wlee
etatesmen bav so earnestly resolved as
gobd.

SETTLE EAGLESON CASE
Garfield Submits It to President.
Adverse Action Expected.
ORESGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 2. Final action on the case
of Surveyor-General Eagleson, of Idaho,
Is expected within a short time. Today
Secretary Garfield wrote a letter to the
President regarding the matter, hut de
clined to discuss Its contents. Land Com
missioner Ballinger would give no inti
mation of what was going on, further
than to remark that the case was prac
tically settled.
It Is known to those interested that Mr.
Eagleson's answers to the department's
charges are far from satisfactory and this
fact, coupled with the fact that Mr. Gar
field now lays the matter before the
President, indicates that Mr. Eagleson's
refusal to submit his resignation as di-'
rected more than a month ago constitutes
insubordination.
