t-TE MOUSING OREG0XIAX, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1908. THROW 0 SPONGE FOR FOE NEIL Attell Has the Better of the Featherweight Contest at All Times. LASTS UNTIL 13TH ROUND rteatinK Is So Terrific That Nell's Seconds Hear Serious Injury. Preliminary Bout Goes to Johnnie Murphy. SAX FR.AXCtSCO. Jan. 31. Abe Attrll. champion featherweight of Amor-lea, to night gave Frankie Noll, of this city, such an unmerciful beating tliat the tat ter's seconds, fearing serious injury, en tered the ring in the 13th round and threw up the sponge as a token of defeat. In the first six rounds Neil scarcely landed a blow on his clever and nimble opponent, while on the other hand. Attell peppered Neil's face with .left and right jolts and uppercuts. Only In the seventh and eighth rounds did Neil bring the fisht to Attell. Nell protested against the action of his seconds in throwing up the sponge. Johnnie Murphy was Riven the decision over Kid Scaler In a ten-round prelimi nnry. This contest, which was announced for the lightweight championship of the Pacific Coast, equalled the interest taken in the main event. It was a hard, gruelling contest through out. Murphy, who was the heavier by four pounds, was the aeressor at all times and landed the most forceful and telling blows. Near the end of the seventh 'round, which was all In Murphy's favor. Scaler landed a right very low. Murphy claimed a foul, and the bout was stopped for five minutes, while doctors examined the protesting pugilist. The claim finally was disallowed and the men were ordered to continue. Murphy had all the better of the two concluding rounds and clearly earned the decision. Scaler was the favorite in the betting at 10 to 7. Murphy, being over weight, was compelled to relinquish his forfeit. YEARNS TO BECOME MAGNATE Jake Thieiman Returns to Portland With Ambitious Plan. Jake Thlelman. the star twirler of the Portland Baseball Club of 1!04. for whom the St. Louis National League team exchanged John Ft. McLean dur ing the "Winter of 100r, returned to Portland yesterday and will remain here for a short time visiting old friends. Jake is looking well, and If any difference, is apparently in better shape than ever before. In his baseball career, which i a demonstration of what a season or so under Napoleon Lajoie will do for a player. Thlelman is now numbered among the siars of the Cleveland American League team, and In the man who put the qui etus itipon the aspirations of the Phila delphia Athletics in last year's pennant race. Connie Mack's outfit was up against the real thing and going like a house afire when it was .itted against Cleve land. Only four more games remained to be pl3yed. and it Philar. plila won all four there .was a chance to annex the pennant, for Detroit was playing the strong St. Ixiul.a team and the Athletics had three more games with Washington. They had won two games of the series from Cleveland and Thlelman was dele sated by l.a.ioIe to pitch in the third pa. le. He went on the mound opposed to Rddie Plank, the premier southpaw of the Athletics, for Waddell was er ratic. Jake won out, thereby putting Philadelphia out of the running, as De troit won two games that day. Thlelman has been visiting his brother in Seattle for a few days, and came to Portland to renew his aeo-alntanee with the fans of this city. He expressed great pleasure at again seeing Portland, and incidentally added that he woul.l like to buy an interest in the Portland franchise. When pressed for a definite statement in this regard, Jake said that he would see Judge V. W. McCredle and Manager "Walter McCredie before he had anything further to say on the subject. "I look upon Portland as my home." said Thlelman. "and If it were possible to secure the Portland franchise I would be delighted to do so. I do not know that the McCredies wish to sell, however, and therefore will not co any further along this line until I have seen them. I shall be In Portland for seevral weeks, according to my present plans." THE DAY'S HORSE RACES. At Log Angeles. I.OP ANGELES. Jan. 31. Santa Anita Park results: Six and One-Half Fnrloncs.

At a sectional committee meeting of the Diet today. M. Olshl asked against whom were the Japanese military preparations directed. Minister of "War Terauchl replied, saying that they were not directed against any single nation but against eventualities on the Pacific, where Japan has a long coast line from Saghallen to Formosa. At Oakland, jority of people who are unable to reason out the ultimate consequences of any ac tion," said Professor Howard. "Many overlook the fatal defect, namely, the in evitable stimulus which it would give to speculative banking. In view of this In superable obstacle to a guarantee of de posits, why not accomplish the) desired result by adopting the plan, of deposi tions by the directors of each bank for itself." The proposal Is as follows: "Let the National bank act provide that in the case of any bank failure where any section of the act has been violated or where any otherwise illegal or ultra vires transactions have been made by the bank, or where the bank at the time of failure has outstanding loans to directors or to any enterprise in which said directors are directors or officers, on which any loss is suffered by the bank, the directors shall he personally liable for all losses to de positors. "This plan combines two long-desired objects the security of the depositor and the responsibility of the directors." TROOPS TO GO APRIL 1 Xevada Legislature Decides to Make Change Month Earlier.

Bryan tonight issued a statement bearing on the President's message, sent to Congress today. In prefacing the statement he said he recognized the moral courage of Roosevelt in fighting against the opposition he has to con tend with. Referring to the Wall street methods, the speaker said It would be a safe bet that after the President's mes sage of today the financiers would see that they could place no dependence on Roosevelt as a friend of the "system." His statement on the President's mes sage follows: Message Needed Badly. "It is a brave message and needed at this time. All friends of reform have reason to rejoice that the President has used his high position to call attention to the wrongs that need to be remedied. He. has discovered the running sore in our National life. He has pointed out the corrupting Influences that flow from predatory wealth and from the monopor llstic enterprises which have given un earned riches to the few who, by con trolling the great Industries of the Na tion, have levied tribute upon the whole country. "Its warnings are entirely In harmony with the warnings which Democrats have been Issuing for more than a decade, and I hope that the Democrats inlhe Senate and the House will prompt ly challenge the Issues that have been presented by the President. Democrats Should Act. "There ought to be enough Roosevelt members to join with the Democrats and Insure some remedial legislation at this session. If there bo none, the public ought to know It, so that when the next Republican National convention Indorses the present administration the hypocrisy of the party will be understood. "The President has discussed the rela tive Rpheres of the state and Nation. I hope that in the measure that may be Introduced In response to this appeal there will be no attempt to take from the statea, any power that they now have. TheTiemocrats are In favor of the full est employment of the power vested in states, they want National remedies added to the state remedies and not sub stituted for them. If the President's Re publican friends will Join with the Dem ocrats in devising legislation which will be effective and yet within the recog nized constitutional power of Congress, great good may be accomplished before Congress adjourns. Issues Call to Arrns. "The President has issued a call to arms. Now let the battle begin, and we shall soon be able to pick out the pur chased newspapers and the purchased legislators described by the President, but not specifically named." . Mr. Bryan reached Wilmington early this afternoon as the guest of the Mod ern Woodmen of America. Tonight he delivered an address at a meeting in the Opera House and took occasion to pay a tribute to President Roosevelt for the work he is doing.

ORBGONIAX XEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 26 A short time ago a week lyas well as weakly magazine of the muck-rake, type, published In Washing ton, devoted a paragraph to Senator Iley-bu-n. In which It handled him rather roughly. The story is one that was cir culated in Idaho some time ago, and placed the Senator in a very unpleasant light. ' Soon after the paragraph appeared, a solicitor for this magazine, who evident- "Open All the Time" ABSOLUTE SAFETY- OFFERED DEPOSITORS No interest paid on commercial accounts or daily balances. 4 INTEREST Paid on Term Savings Accounts By the old gold tried and tested German-American Bank Corner Sixth and Alder St Opposite Orearoalan. ly has discernment enough to not read Its columns, called on Senator Heyburn, all unaware of the attack, and urged him to furnish a photograph and sketch for pub lication at some future date price or thereabouts. The scene that followed can readily be pictured by those who know "the slight grasp that Senator Hey burn has on his temper. It would not be proper to print what he said, but the solicitor lost no time in grabbing his hat and making a run for the door. There is one thing about Senator Hey burn that aids, him In his Legislative career. He has an unusual amount of dogged determination, and once he takes up a right he will not let go until the fight Is closed, and closed decisively. He dosen't always win, but he always has the satisfaction of knowing that he gave the other side a hard run. It was this determination on the part of Senator Heyburn. as chairman of the committee on manufactures, which flnallj- put the pure-food bill through the Senate and on the statute books. Now the Senator is engaged in an even less interesting fight to put through a bill to revise and codify the laws. Iast session the Idaho Senator was made chairman of a special committee to take up this work, and all through the recess, and up to the beginning of the present year the Senator devoted himself to the thankless task. He now has the bill be fore the Senate as unfinished business. Few Senators are interested, and when the bill Is called up day after day, there Is a general exodus from the chamber. Nevertheless, Senator Heyburn goes ahead, pressing the bill section by sec tion, meeting whatever objection Is made, and pushing the legislation along to wards passage. It may require many weeks, but Senator Heyburn will stick to It to the end. And when It is through he won't get much credit, for very few people are Interested, and the public at large will never know anything about the fight and its consequences. Explosive Quality of Oust. Youth's Companion. ,Tt has long been recognized that various forms of dust, when mingled witn air in certain proportions, are capable of pro ducing destructive explosions when brought Into contact with flame. This danger sometimes exists in flour-mills. A historic instance is the explosion of three flour mills at Minneapolis In 187S. It was then demonstrated, by experiment that two ounces of flour in two cubic, feet of confined air, when ignited, would cause a violent explosion, and It was calculated that the contents of a flour sack distributed through 4000 cubic feet of air would cause an exnlosion capable of throwing a weight of 2SO0 tons to a heljtht of 100 feet. Recently S. F. Pcckham has shown that any dust that will burn may cause an explosion. An instance is known where sugar dust In a confectionery fac tory caused an explosion, and in another case dry soap dust proved equaly dangerous. Fernle. B. C.
