Protection of Railroads Needed.
Asked what he thought of the opera
tion of the Hepburn act, Mr. Harrlman
replied:
'Regulation of railroads Is all right.
It is the proper thing, provided that it
be accompanied by adequate protec
tion. In the present instance regula
tion is not accompanied by protection.
and in that respect it is wrong. This
I stated to the President as far back
as 1905. I also wrote to Mr. Taft about
it that same year. I said tnen l ia
vored regulation and publicity, if cou
pled with protection, so as to permit
the movement of traffic along the lines
of least resistance and least cost. This
can only be accomplished by co-operation
between the railroads and the Gov
ernment. Unless the Government is
willing to grant one, it should not en
force the other."
Erie and Gould Deals.
Mr. Harrlman was asked if he appre
hended any trouble from the Interstate
Commerce Commission or from public
sentiment on account of his entrance Into
the Erie and into Gould affairs through
the Wheeling & Lake Erie.
"I do not see why there should be any
trouble or any criticism regarding these
transactions. I did not enter into them
from choice. It was business necessity,
railroad necessity."
Mr. Harrlman held conferences today
with various heads of railroads In which
he is Interested. The conferences were
attended by J. C. Stubbs. traffic director;
Julius Kruttschnltt, director of mainte
nance; S. M. Felton, president of the
Mexican Central Railroad, and E. P. Rip

At luncheon later at the Chicago Club
Mr. Harrlman met J. J. Mitchell, presi
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad, and several officers of the
Union Pacific.

Irvlngton Tennis Club Tries an
Innovation.
MEETS TOURNEY EXPENSES
Directors Decide to Pend Three
Crack Player to International
Meet to Be Held ' at
Everett Next Week.
An innovation In the method of hand
ling local teams competing in the tourna
ments of the North Pacific International
Lawn Tennis Association has been
adopted by the Irvlngton Tennis Club,
of this city, and It Is highly probable
that other Individual organizations will
follow the example set by the enterpris
ing Portlanders.
Briefly stated, the Irvlngton Club will
defray all expenses of a team of three
players to represent the club at the forth
coming International tournament which
opens at Everett, Wash.. Monday. August
10. the finals being played Wednesday.
August 12. Always in past, all Coast
local organizations have left it entire
with the individual members of their
clubs to pay their own expenses includ
ing transportation, etc. The players have
done so and whatever triumphs have
been won have redounded to the credit
of the club sending the players even
more than to the men themselves.
Several of the leading lights in the
Irvlngton Club have held that this sys
tem was entirely wrong and, for the pur
pose of giving the matter fullest dis
cussion and consideration, a special meet
ing of the directors of the club was held
yesterday, with the result that a unan
imous vote was cast binding the club to
guarantee the expenses of three men to
rem-eeent the club at the fifth annual In
ternational tournament at Everett. At the-
meeting. President J. a Hamilton named
the following committee to select the
three men who shall defend the honors
of the locals at the Everett meet: F. H.
V. Andrews, chairman; W. A. Goes and
Richard Wilder. This committee will
meet In a day or two and will decide
upon the trio of contendors for the all
important tourney. Their names will
probably be announced before the end
of the week.
W. A. Goss, one of the foremost ten
nis experts in the Northwest and a mem
ber of the Irvington Club, leaves this
morning or tonight for Tacoma where
he will engage in the men's doubles at
the tournament there, playing with Lewis
R. Freeman, of California. Freeman
made a splendid showing in the recent
state tournament " here and has been
meeting the best tennis talent at the
meets at Victoria and Vancouver. He
will reach Tacoma today In time to warm
up with Goss for the events in which
they are to participate.
One of the directors of the Irvlngton
Club said last night that it is believed
that particularly all the tennis organiza
tions In the intvnational association
will follow the example of the locals In
future tennis meets and that there will
be no more hesitancy on the part of
crack players entering tournaments in
other cities through reluctance at defray
ing their own railroad fare and boat's
bills when they are playing under club
colors and striving for club honors as
well as their own.

EXCITING RACE ON THE RIVER
Dancing Sal - Wins Four-Cornered
Contest in Spanking Breeze.
There was an exciting yacht race on
the river at The Oaks Sunday afternoon
In which the yacht Dancing Sal was the
only one to escape mishap. As a result
of the escape that vessel won the race.
With an overabundance of wind, which
seemed to dare the adventurous, four
crack yachts of the Oregon Yacht Club
started on a handicap race and only one
finished uninjured.
A stiff breeze blew a small hurricane,
and the daring yachtsmen, instead of
turning on a single reef each, decided to
pile on extra men for ballast and race
full sail. The strain was so great that
the Fore'n'Aft was the first yacht to
give way. Her halyard parted and Cap
tain Todd decided to drop out. Soon
afterwards the Corsair, which was lead
ing the race, also suffered, but Max
Meyer, her skipper, decided to stay in
the race. Then the Terror suffered a
mishap and was also disabled. The other
boats continued, but the Dancing sat
won with the Corsair hot on her heels.
