NSULT TO HUGHES
Horsemen Refuse to Race
While He Is on Track.
WAIT UNTIL HE LEAVES
Great Crowd at Saratoga County
Fair Inconvenienced by Stupid
Action of Trotting-Horse
Owners and Gamblers.
BALLSTOX. X. T.. Aug 26. For an
hour and a half the openly-expressed
hostility of the owners of trotting
horses taking part in the events at the
Saratoga County Fair toward Governor
Hughes held up the racing at the Fair
Grounds here. Governor Hughes was a
visitor at the Fair today, and ad
dressed a big audience, which gave him
a hearty greeting and attentive hear
ing. The Governor's presence on the
grounds, however, was resented by the
horse-owners, who have taken excep
tion to the Governor's efforts to sup
press betting on the racetracks of the
state. A, a consequence, they refused
to start TSeir horses while the Execu
tive wa.ij the grounds.
The horA-owners created an unpre
cedented situation, and caused the man
agement of the Fair marked embarrass
ment. When the conditions became
known a sensation was created among
the thousands of spectators on the
grounds, and considerable pressure was
put upon the trotting men to change
their attitude and run off the races as
scheduled. In this the Fair officials
took the lead, urging their case strong
ly upon the recalcitrant owners, and
pointing out the awkwardness of the
situation caused by the balk in the pro
gramme. Their efforts were fruitless, however,
the owners remaining obdurate, and for
an hour and a half refusing to budge
from their position. They openly de
clared that Governor Hughes had an
tagonized their Interests, and that they
proposed to retaliate by refusing to
take their horses out on the track while
he was present.
Governor Hughes was scheduled to
leave here on the i o'clock train, and
shortly before that time he left the
Kalr Grounds enclosure. Immediately
upon his departure the racing proceed
ed. The lateness of the start caused
the continuance Of the trotting until
dark.
Hughes Will Say Nothing.
ALBANY. N. Y.. Aug. 26. Governor
Hughes, on his return tonight from
BaUston. had nothing to say regarding
the action of the horse-owners at Sara
toga County Fair.

FAVORS MEW FISHING CODE
I)R. JORDAN BELIEVES GREAT
INDUSTRY IS IMPERILED.
President of Stanford University
Discusses Work Accomplished by
International Committee.
One of two members of an Interna
tional committee to Investigate the
fishing waters of America. Dr. David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stan
ford University, arrived in Portland
yesterday afternoon, en route to San
Francisco. He was here only during
the dinner hour and left a short time
after his arrival.
As a result of his investigations dur
ing the Summer it is likely that a new
international fishing code will be
evolved and that important rulings will
be Incorporated. With Dr. Jordan on
the committee was S. T. Basteldor, of
Toronto, a representative of the Brit
ish government.
"Unless some rigid action is taken."
said Dr. Jordan, "the international fish
ing grounds will be destroyed, or at
least injured just as much as the Col
umbia River fishing interests have been
Injured. It is a well-known fact that
the connecting laws of Washington and
Oregon have Injured the fishing inter
ests of the two states, and similar re
sults will come from the present opera
tion of the International laws.
"We have spent the last three months
In Investigating the fishing Interests of
this country and of England in the
waters that are adjacent to our shores,
and a new code of laws will be formu
lated. I am not in position to state
at this time Just what those laws will
be. but they will be prepared by my
self and my colleague and submitted to
the Secretary of State He made my
appointment and he will be the first to
see the codified form of the new laws.
If they suit his ideas of what is right,
then they will be given to the public"
Dr. Jordan expressed himself as
deeply Interested in the Japanese ques
tion, especially in its reference to the
Pacific Coast. It has been the work of
hoodlums, he said, that has caused the
recent troubles.
"The people of San Francisco and of
Vancouver who started the race trou
bles are simply hoodlums." he said.
"Respectable and responsible people
would never have done such a thing,
and all America resentssit. The people
of California feel no more towards the
Japanese as was indicated by the trou
ble there than the people of Oregon
feel towards the Indians.
"In our university there is no sign
of trouble and absolutely no indication.
There are many Japanese students
there, but they are of an intelligent
class and they do not believe that the
riots in San Francisco indicated the
feeling of the people of this country."
MEASURE TO SAVE SALMON
Dr. Jordan Favors Federal Control
of Fishing.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 26. Federal
control of the salmon fishing industry
to the extent of almost eliminating
state regulation will follow the incor
poration Into a law of the findings' of
the international commission appoint
ed by the governments of the United
States and Great Britain, as a result
of a treaty signed some time ago. Dr.
David Starr Jordan, president of Le
land Stanford University, the Ameri
can member of the commission, having
finished a two months' field survey of
international waters from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, is in Seattle. He said
the effect of the work of the commis
sion, in so far as the waters of the
state are concerned, would be to place
in the shape of Federal statutes reg
ulations designed to save the salmon
from extinction and the Industry from
speedy decay.
"The International waters of this
state," said Dr. Jordan, "comprise one
of the important districts Involved In
the plan for Federal regulation of fish
ing which we visited. Probably there
is no point of greater Interest, -as far
as laws which will save the salmon1
packing Industry from perishing and
the salmon from destruction are con-corned-"
HOUSE STAYS IN SPOKANE

gation from the pulpit last Sunday. Dr.
House was formerly pastor of the First
Congregational Church of Portland, the
position which Dr. Luther R. Dyott now

LAD MAY LOSE EYESIGHT
Rescued From Side of Training
ship With Spark of Life Almost
Extinguished Principals to
Be . Court-Martialed.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 26. The Bul
letin today prints a story of the hazing
at the naval training station at Yerba.
Buena Island of Earl Irey. a 21-year-old
apprentice on the training ship Pensa
cola, which will probably result in the
loss of sight by Irey and the court
martial of O. F. Guy and J. Valerius, two
shipmates.
The hazing, it is said, occurred August
10 and every effort has been made to
keep the incident from becoming public.
According to the story, Irey was caught
by Guy and Valerius as he was prepar
ing to retire for the night, a noose was
fastened tightly around his neck, the rope
passed over a hook and he was swung
clear of the deck, remaining suspended
for five minutes.
He was found In this position by two
masters-at-arms, his eyes bulging out
and his tongue swollen and black.
For days he lingered between life and
death and the doctors now say that he
has lost the sight of one eye and prob
ably both. Irey will be sent to his home
in Oklahoma.
GLAD TO BE HOME AFTER VISIT
TO ENGLAND.
Attended Lambeth Conference, at
Which 243 Bishops Were Present.
Saw Olympic Games.
After an absence which caused him to
wish longingly that he was home. Bishop
Charles Scadding returned yesterday
from a trip to England.
"My trip was purely a professional one,'
he said. "I went there to attend the
Lambeth conference, which Is one of the
most Important conferences in our church.
It includes the attendance of all the
Bishops of the Church of England, and
there were 243 bishops present. Of that
number there were 60 bishops from
America.
"The Archbishop of Canterbury presided
at the conferences, and I have an idea
that his time was well occupied. He at
tempted to serve the entire number of
bishops who were attending, and. I think
he had his hands full.
"During this conference there were
many subjects discussed. Among tne num
ber were 'Ministry of Healing. 'Marriage
Problems." 'Socialism and the People.'
and 'Reunion of the Church,' all of which
aroused a great 'deal of Interest but
caused no real antagonism.
Bishop Scadding denied that any of the
discussions assumed the lorm ot a neoaxe
and that . the most important subjects
discussed were of purely church Interest.
BlshoD Scadding announced that three
young clergymen had been engaged to
assist him in Oregon. He did not state
where they -would be located, but left the
inference that ate least one of them would
be installed in Portland and the others at
other points In the state.
Bishop Scadding was in London dur
ing the Olympic games at the metropolis.
He saw the Americans win the big events
and his Americanism caused him to cheer
the American youths with the other
Americans who were at the stadium.
"I never saw a sporting event that
aroused so much Interest," he said. "But
I never want to see another Marathon
race. It is too much for me, and I am
sure the finish of the recent race was too
much for the average man."
DECLINES TO OPEN STREET
Council Allows Terminal Company
to Occupy Thoroughfare.
Councilman Kellaher's resolution, au
thorizing City Engineer Taylor to tear
down the obstructions In Fourth street,
near Irving, now controlled by the North
Pacific Terminal Company, met defeat in
the Council yesterday afternoon. Al
though Mr. Kellaher made a strong
speech, in which he declared that the
Harriman interests should be curbed and
the city's Interests protected, he was
overwhelmingly voted down. The ob
structions referred to consist of a signal
tower and a large gate, which is usually
kept open.
Councilman Wallace said that he had
Investigated the matter and found that
the street, even if opened, would not do
the public any good, as it leads into a
network of tracks in the terminal yards.
He urged the Council to reject the Kella
her resolution.
YOUNG MAN IS SUICIDE
Charles Schmidt, Jr., Shoots Him
self in Fit of Despondency.
Identity of the young man found
dead in A. Slater's barn on the Patton
road at midnight Tuesday was estab
lished yesterday and death was as
cribed to suicide. A note was found
by careful search of the dead man's
clothing. It was signed "Charles
Schmidt, Jr." and read: "Farewell to
everybody. I have been a fool but life
Is misery. I have been pretty sick but
everything will be over pretty soon."
From a card in his pockets it was
learned he had been, working for the
Enterprise Lumber Company in June.
Relatives could not be found. Death
resulted from a bullet wound in the
head. Schmidt used a 32 caliber re
volver. The body will be interred at
the County's expense today.
