DAY AT ALBANY
Legislative Committee Hears
. Pros and Cons of Race
Betting.
HELPS IN HORSE-BREEDING
Defender of Practice hay Hughes'
Bill Would Favor Poolrooms.
Church People Say Belting
. Deteriorates the Men.
ALHANT. N. Y..' Ffh. IS Millionaires,
rnretrack followers, clergymen, lawyer
nd Ipfrislatnrs were represented at the
hearing today before the Joint Senate
nd Assembly codes committee on- the
Aenew-Hart bill to amend the penal code
bo an to prohibit Rambling on rac e tracks,
as iiegepted by Governor Hughes. Al 7
o'clock tonight, after four hours' dis
cu.ssion. the hearing was adjourned until
Thursday. March 4.
During the Interval It is intimated that
August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey
Club, will call a meeting of that organiza
tion to agree upon certain suggestions
to he (submitted to the legislative council
designated to check gambling by young
men. Among those who made brief re
marks were Mr. Belmont. James R.
Keene. owner of many famous race
horses, nnd P. P. Johnson, of Kentucky,
president of the National Trotting Asso
ciation. Would Favor Poolrooms.
The principal address against the bill
was made by Joseph S. Auerbach. attor
ney for the Jockey Club, who upheld the
so-called unconstitutional discrimination
In the present Percy-Orey law, under
which betting U permitted on race tracks
rubject only to the penalty of recovery
bv civil action of llie amount wagered,
lie declared that the measure would cre
ate discrimination against the race tracks
and favor the poolrooms, and criticized
the Governor for making a "speech here
and a speech there, and with full scenic
effect." In support of the bill. He said
that two years ago a similar bill was In
troduced, but that after Rev. Dr. Sliccr
and Bishop Doane had been informed
that It was promoted by the poolrooms
they withdrew their indorsement of it.
"T am not saying." he continued,
"that this bill was prompted by the
pool rooms, but I do say that it is in
the Interest of the pool rooms."
Betting Necessary to Racing.
Mr. Belmont was prompted to say a
few words by a question by Senator
Hill as to whether the Jockey Club
could suggest some means of checking
th. tendency of young men to gamble.
Mr. Belmont said that offhand he could
not, hut he would call a meeting of
the club to consider the matter.
"Itaclntf Is not conducted for the sake
of betting:." continued Mr. Belmont,
"but for the breed of horses. One of
the incidents of racing is betting, and
I must say that It is indispensable, but
It is jnly an Incident"
"I think." said James R. Keene, "thai
the bill recommended by Governor
Hughes and pending before the Legis
lature would simply transfer the hot.
ting from the race track to the pool
room and the moral effect desired
would not be accomplished."
Keene Seldom Bets.
Senator McCarren asked Mr. Keene
h"w much he bet on the races.
"1 never bet." replied Mr. Keene, "ex
cept two or three times a season on
some one else's horses."
Asked by Senator Agnew if he. did
not b.-lieve the pool rooms were closed
now, Mr. Keene said:
I think there are at least 100 poolrooms
now open in New York and you can bet
all the monpy you want and there is
tiothing to stop it. Governor Hughes
knows little about this question and. like
many reformers, he has looked upon one
side of the question and has not looked
at the other. The bill would strike at
J5n.OCO.000 or JSO.0OO.O0O worth of property
and retard the progress of horse-breeding
for three decades. It will drive out
of the state fcK.OOO.OOO annually and throw
out of employment 12.000 people."
The speakers in favor of the bill con
fined most of their remarks to the con
tention that the Constitution did not in
tend a discrimination on gambling In
favor of race tracks, and that the Legis
lature should "square the law with the
Constitution."
Deteriorates Breed of Men.
" Alphonse G. Keeble, president of the
deratton of Catholic Societies, saidt that
he was authorized by Archbishop Farley
to go on record in favor of the bill in be
half of all the Catholics of the state.
"You should not crucify the man who
Rambles outside the race track fence as a
malefactor to men and glorify the" man
Inside the fence as a benefactor to
horses," he said.
Among others who spoke In favor of
the bill was Homer Davenport of New
York.
A feature of the hearing was the letter
from Dr. Lyman Abbott, in which he
characterized the Percy Grey law, "which
makes gambling legal on one side of a
fence and illegal on the other,'" as
ethically and logically absurd. "There is
only one argument adduced in favor of
racetrack gambling." said Dr. Abbott,
"namely, that it Improves the breed of
horses. The answer to that is conclu
sive: It deteriorates the breed of men."

FIEHT FIFTEEN ROUNDS
PORTLAND MAN AND ABERDEEN
PUGILIST MIX.
According to Agreement, Aberdeen
Man Is Not Stopped by Opponent
and Gets the Decision.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 19. (Spe
cial.) For 15 rounds last night Curley
Carr, a member of the old-time Port
land Athletic Club, sought unsuccess
fully to penetrate the guard of Billy
Rutschow, of this city. Because of
Carr's inability to stop Rutschow the
decision went to the local man.
Rutschow assumed a low crouch at
the beginning and his opponent was
wholly unable to land effectually,
while the local lad was in this posi
tion. Carr used the uppercut time and
again but Rutschow covered up in
good shape and avoided punishment.
As the fight progressed Rutschow paid
less attention to his defense and forced
the pace. Carr's showing was not as
good as had been expected of him. and
in open fighting Rutschow held his
own. The most damaging blows, two
hard punches to the stomach, were
scored by Rutschow. Carr's best blow
was a right, which caught Rutschow
on the ear. Once Carr reached
Rutschow's nose with- the left and a
few drops of blood were noticeable,
but otherwise the mill was wihtout
damage.
Carr outweighed his man by seven
or eight pounds. Ho "fiddled" at stages
during the fight, seeking an opening
which would win him the decision.
But he seemed chary of Rutschow's
powerful blows, any one. of which,
landing properly, would have ended
the bout. Rutschow surprised his
supporters by carrying the fight to
the Dawson City man and every time
he scored the crowd would manifest
its pleasure. Referee Barney Mullin
awarded the decision to Rutschow in
accordance with the articles of agree
ment. STOESSEL Trial AT END

man andi locked up In the city Jail, where
he is being held on charges of forging and
defalcation to await the arrival of an
officer from New York City. Green, who
is a good-looking, stylishly dressed .man
of 24 years, is the son of John C. Green,
said to occupy an important position with
the Goodyear Rubber Company of New
York City. His arrest is the result of a
telegram to Chief of Police Gritzmacher
from Inspector James McCafferty of the
New York City detective bureau, which
states that Green is under indictment for
forgery and defalcation to the extent of
From information available here, it ap
pears that Green had been the private
secretary to Mr. Fargo for the three years
preceding last October, when he mysteri
ously disappeared. It is alleged that an
examination of his accounts, made im
mediately afterward, revealed he had de
posited two forged checks', one for $406.24
and another for $731.25. to his own credit
with the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany of New York City. These checks
were drawn on the Hamilton Bank of
New Yrirk. and this bank and Mr. Fargo
are sard to be jointly engaged in the
prosecution.
Mr. Fargo and the Hamilton Bank se
cured the services of the Pinkerton De
tective Ageney and the discovery of the
young man's whereabouts was made by
Henry E. von Greenwald, assistant super
intendent of the local Pinkerton bureau,
who also ran down the young absconder
Knudson, of Astoria. Von Greenwald,
working in conjunction with the local
police, entrapped) Green by pretending to
have a position for him. The arrest was
made by the city detectives after Green
had met the Pinkerton man by appoint
ment last night at Seventh and Stark
streets to talk over the prospective posi
tion. In his position with Mr. Fargo, Green
is said to have had charge of the books
and the funds of the estate of W, C
Fargo, one of the founders of the Wells
Fargo Express Company; of St. Thomas
Church, which is said to have New York's
most aristocratic and fashionable congre
gation, and of which Mr. Fargo was
treasurer, and of the Merchants Dispatch
& Transportation Company, of which Mr.
Fargo was trustee. Speculating In Wall
street, it Is said', was the cause of Green's
alleged crimes.
Green came to Portland about three
months ago, and at that time appar
ently was plentifully supplied with
money." He took up his residence at
586 Hoyt street, where it is said he
has entertained his newly-made Port
land acquaintances in somewhat lavish
style. Through- his polished- and en
gaging manners, he made the acquaint
ance of several well-known clubmen,
and is said to have secured cards to
two of the best clubs in the city. Dur
ing his residence here he has made
several trips, visiting San Francisco,
Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities,
but of late, his funds being somewhat
impoverished, he has been looking for
a position.
Besides the Hamilton Bank, on which
the alleged forged checks were drawn
and which paid out $1137.49 on them,
it is not known from which of the
other accounts he is charged, with pil
fering money. It is believed, however,
that all of them are Involved. The
alleged shortages, it is understood,
have been made good by Mr. Fargo,
who now seeks Green's- prosecution.

MUST DESTROY THE RATS
l)r. Blue Says Campaign of Sanita
tion Is Necessary.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 19. In an In
ter lew on sanitary conditions in San
Francisco given out tonight by Dr.
Rupert Blue, the Government expert
sent here to have charge of the plague
extermination, he said:
"The. immediate- Improvement in
sanitary conditions in San Francisco is
imperative. The Federal health offi
cials are not alarmists and the expert
disease exterminators assigned to duty
in San Francisco feel it their duty not
to alarm the people of San Francisco
r of the country, hut for benefit of
this -city and the country generally a
campaign or education and sanitation
is comnulsory.
"There have been two human cases
of bubonic plague in San Francisco In
the last 48 days. I hope there will bo
no additional cases. But the danger is
not over by any means. It is abso
lutely essentia! that the rats. shall be
exterminated. We find that of the
rats exterminated during the last two
weeks one and three-tenths per cent
are infected. The infection among the
rats can only be obliterated by anni
hilating the rats themselves.
"I am pleased to state that with the
assistance of the citizens' health com
mittee and the local health board the
Federal service has increased the rat
catch during the past two weeks very
material ly.
"I am now very hopeful that nothing
wilt prevent the landing of Admiral
Evans' men.'
Santa Fe Orders" Reductions.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19. A mass
meeting of women at the California Club
today was devoted to discussion of the
best methods of preventing a serious out
break of the plague. Many suggestions

tions. Among the speakers were Drs.
Rupert Blue and W. C. Rucker. Rabbi

DERELICT IN DUTY
Legislators Scored at Tuber
culosis Meeting.
COAST CLIMATE IS IDEAL
Dr. Pierce, or Portland, Says Less
Aid Should Be Given to Colleges
and Y. M. C. A.s and More to
Fight Deadly Disease."
SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 19. (Special. 1
Dr. E. A. Pierce, of Portland, featured
the anntialsesslon of the Washington So
ciety for Prevention of Tuberculosis,
which met In this city today, by a severe
censure of the legislatures of the states
of the Pacific Northwest.
"If consumption . is not wrestled with
in time it will depopulate the country."
said Dr. Pierce. "The most discourag
ing feature of the work of combating
this dread disease is the indifference of
the Legislatures. There seems to be no
possibility of getting state aid and it is
impossible to treat tuberculosis success
fully in the hames. At least 75 per cent
of the cases are curable, but owing to
poverty, the afflicted ones are unable to
go to the sanitariums. Preachers, mem
bers of the medical profession and mem
bers of the legislature are failing In
their duty because they are not trying
to fight this disease.
"It is all nonsense to seek a higher
altitude for the treatment of the trou
ble. There Is no place as good as the
Pacific Coast and Washington has an
ideal climate. it would be better to
endow fewer colleges and Y. "M. C. A.'s
and more sanitariums where tubercu
losis parents could be taken care of."
Announcement was made of subscrip
tions amounting to $50,100 for estab
lishing a Beattle pulmonary hospital.
Of this amount $40,010 is a bequest
made by .Sarah Loretta Denny, a
pioneer settler in Seattlr. An addi
tional $10.0t0 given by M. Lenora
Denny, another member of the same
family, is conditional upon the sub
scription of an equal amount.
In a speech made before the gather
ing. Governor Mead, the chief execu
tive of the state, declared strongly for
state sanatoria to be established by
state aid. Charts were shown indicat
ing that the death rate from tubucular
diseases in Washington is more than 3
per cent less than the average of the
entire United States. This condition
was ascribed to the lack of great urban
population, against the coming of
which preventive measures were now
urged.
CLOSE BIG DEAL IN OATS
Five Hundred Tons to Go From Pa
louse to Chicago Firm.
GARFIELD, Wash.. Feb.' 19. (Spe
cial.) Five hundred tons of oats from
Garfield, Oakesdale, Palouse and Tekoa
were purchased this evening by Mont
gomery Ward & Co., of Chicago, and
will be shipped to that city at once, ac
cording to William Biehop, of the grain
firm of Duling & Bishop, of this city.
Mr. Cohn, who Is In the East represent
ting Campbell, Sanford & Henley, made
the sale, and Mr. Woods, who repre
sents the company in the Palouse
country, will begin shipping out the
oats at once. Mr. Bishop said:
"This is the first big shipment .East
for several years. Oats are worth in
Garfield $1 a hundred pounds to the
farmers, and there is good money in
raising them at that price. Now that
the Eastern markets are beginning to
get oats from this point, we look to see
a big business built up with the grain
merchants there. ' Mr. Cohn is now at
Kansas City, and is closing" up a deal
for 500 tons to be shipped to that
point."

been showered upon the wonderful Pianola. It is a noteworthy
fact, however, that the Pianola is the ONLY piano-player that has
received the serious consideration and indorsement of the world's
greatest pianists.
Paderewski owns two Pianolas, which are now in his European
residence. Surely a higher tribute could not be paid the Pianola.
CAUTION. There is but one
genuine Pianola and Pianola
Piano, made only by the Aeolian
Co., and so marked. All others
not bearing the name "Pianola"
are imitations.
The genuine Pianola and Pianola Piano, as well as the Weber
Piano, used exclusively by Paderewski, are sold only by
