BOVIfERMA WINS
OUT FOR CAUCUS
Statement Men, Seeing De
feat, Make Grand Rush to
Get on Bandwagon.
FIVE YET TO HEAR FROM
AH Rfpnblirana Are Opposed lo
Bowennan They May Yet Enter
Caucus to Defeat Jlim How
Speakership KIght Stands.
Defeated In their effort to Mock the
Bowerman plan of Republican caucus In
the Oregon Senate. Statement Legisla
tors made a rush for the caucus band
wagon yesterday. Senator Bailey, of
Multnomah. led the rnsh and secured a
at. by notifying Bowerman In a wire
message to the latter's home In Condon,
that he had changed his mind about
staying out. His example was followed
by Kay of Marlon. Other Statement
men occupying places In the caucus ve
hicle are: Nottingham, of Multnomah;
Barrett, of Washington: Bingham, of
I.ane; Johnson, of Benton, and Schol
feld. of Clatsop, who. with Bailey and
Kay. make seven Statement men who
hare Joined the caucus agreement. The
other caucus men are the eleven antl
Ptatement Senators. There are 18 Sena
tors, therefore, pledged to Republican
caucus. Sixteen can elect the President.
The Statement Republican Senators
who have not yet come In are Selling.
Kellaher and Albee. of Multnomah: Sin
rott. of Wasco, and Abraham, of Doug
las. That several or all of these five
will join the caucus Is altogether prob
able. TUIs caucus victory is a bis setback
to the Statement-Chamberlain effort to
control the Senate and a big boost to
Bowerman for Fresident of that body.
Its final outcome will probably be the
elimination of Beach. Bailey and Kay
from the race for Fresident. It com
pletely eliminates Selling, unless the lat-t-r
should come into the caucus and there
rstime the fight. But even then, Bower
cnan would have a big lead.
The Bowerman forces, having accom
plished the caucus preliminary, and shut
out the seven Democrats, with whom the
Statement Republicans have been oper
ating, from the organization of the Sen
ate, will next turn their attention to
mustering the Bowerman support in
caucus. Should the five outstanding
Statement Senators stay out. bowerman's
chances will be considerably improved:
therefore. It is expected that the five will
aro In and resume their fight against
liowerman.
In the Speakership fight McArthur Is
following the Bowerman method of or
ganizing a caucus, with a very favor
able prospect. The statement Republican
Representatives are unable to line up
their number to organize the House. In
Multnomah County are at le:ist four
statement Representatives. Clemens. Ab
bott, McDonald and Brady, In addition to
Karrell and McArtaur, who will go Into
caucus. Representative Beals. of Tilla
mook, was In Portland yesterday and an
nounced himself for caucus. In their
rndeavor to defat McArthur the state
ment Representatives in Multnomah, led
by Orion and Jaeger, have been boom
ing Bean, of Lane, for Speaker, an antl
cttatement man, who has been persuaded
by them to declare himself In favor of
Chamberlain's election as United States
Senator.
But not only in Multnomah are the
Statement men meeting trouble In the
House. In Clackamas Representative
Campbell, one of their number, has been
seeking the Speakership and their sup
port. But as they have turned him a
tfeaf ear and taken tip with an anti
Statement candidate, Campbell Is Indig
nant and they have been unable to en
list him and his two Clackamas col
leagues in their ranks.
That Campbell will ultimately be found
In the McArthur camp is considered a
rot unlikely outcome. Representative
Patton, of Marion, and Representative
Orton, of Multnomah, who have Just
toured the state In an effort to defeat a
Republican caucus, did not bring back
as encouraging: Information as they ex
pected. Personnel of Caucus.
The IS Senators who have asreed to go
Into caucus are:
Statement Barrett of Washington.
Bingham of Lane. Bailey of Multnomah.
Johnson of Benton, Kay or Marion. Not
tingham of Multnomah. Scoltleld of Clat
sop 7.
Anti-Statement Miller of Linn. J. N.
Smith of Marion. Chase of Coos, Hart
of Baker. Cole of Cmatilla. Bowerman
of Gilliam. Merryman of Klamath. Par
rish of Grant. Coffey and Beach of Mult
nomah. Wood of Washington 11.
When Kay and Bailey declared them
selves for caucus yesterday each lmag
ilned he was the sixteenth man to maka
. the caucus agreement effective. As a
matter of fact, howeve r.tlie full quota
had been secured. Bailey has been flirt
ing with the Selling and the Chamberlain
forces and had his eye on the Postmaster
ship. The naming of John C Young very
much displeased him. and is supposed to
have contributed toward taking him into
the caucus.

"SAM" D. JONES IS DEAD
NOTED STOCKBREEDER PASSES
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS.
Famous Figure In Racing Circles on
Pacific Coast Owner of Many
Thoroughbred Horses.
c i Tna Trvrpd stockbreeder.
w .nnA.nnv man vhn resided
larmrr u m. t i " -
at A Larrabee street, died last night at
St Vincent's Hospital, following a short
...k nf tt-nVinM fever. He was 64 years
old and to survived by his widow. Mr.
Jones had been a resident of Portland for
30 vears. and had lived In Oregon for
nearly 50 years. He came to this state
with his father. Silas, or "Granger,"
Jones, when he was but a small boy. The
Jones family settled in Marion County,
where the head of the house engaged in
stockralsing with great success. Mr.
Jones retired from his business of stock
raising and is supposed to have given
financial backing to the Fortuna and the
Milwaukle Clubs. He had no ohlldren
and leaves a considerable estate, consist
ing for the greater part of real estate
on the East Side. Arrangements for the
funeral have not yet been completed.
"Sam" Jones, as he was familiarly
known, was widely known In the sport
ing circles of the Pacific Coast. As the
owner of a race horse. Forest King, he
came into great notoriety several years
ago. and was the central figure In one
of the' biggest turf scandals the Pacific
Coast has ever had.
Forest King was outside the money
constantly, and charges were made that
the horse was held In until sufficient
odds had been posted against him to
make his" winning worth while. Whether
the charges were true or not was never
known. The odds were 100 to 1 against
Jones" horse in a certain race at San
Francisco, and large sums were wagered.
Forest King won easily, and those who
backed, him -made big winnings on the
heavy odds. The horse's owner and a
number of his friends were said to have
profited by the winning.
Jones raced horses throughout the
Northwest and on the tracks of Califor
nia for years. His father and he at one
time owned one of the largest thorough
bred breeding farms in Oregon and sent
a number of good Oregon-bred horses to
tiie races. They owned the well-known
sire, "Commercial Traveler." and "Hand
some." a horse that was sent East and
brought a handsome price. They also
owned "Misty Morn" and "Mlsty'a
Pride." known to race followers as the
'Oregon Express."
"Misty's Pride" is now owned at Salem,
having been bought at Butte last Sum
mer by Less Galbrafth. Jones gave tip
racing several years ago and disposed of
his brood mares and race horses.
FIGHTER" OF UNIONS QUITS
Cut-Rate Barber Is Wanted by Con
stable Wagner.
W. G. Jones, the barber who has
been conducting a spectacular fight
against the barbers' union, is the ob
ject of search by Constables Wagner
and Klernan. who have a handful of
legal documents to serve upon him In
civil actions. Incldently the officers
closed his shop In the Fenton block
yesterday on writs of attachment.
At the Justice Court it Is alleged
that Jones owes employes an aggre
gate sum of $500, and is heavily in
volved otherwise. Efforts of the con
stables to locate him yesterday were
not successful and last night they were
of the opinion that he had left the
city.
Jones lately secured an Injunction
from the Circuit Court restraining the
barbers' union from picketing his two
shops, one in the Fenton building and
the other on Aider street, between
Third and Fourth streets. A tempo
rary order was Issued and later was
made permanent. This kept the union
barbers from interfering directly with
his business. Previous to that time
union workers had been accosting ev
ery patron of the place and warning
them against being shaved in a non
union shop.
Removing a Landmark.
The - old cottage on the southeast
corner of Grand avenue and East An
keny streets is being demolished. It
is one of the few remaining build
ings in Central Eaet Portland that
were put up when settlement was
started in that part of the city. The
quarter at . the corner was purchased
by J. C. Ainsworth. He may- cover It
with a modern building next year.

GOOD BALL PLEDGED
President Lucas Is Busy Now
Getting Settled.
GIVE COAST LEAGUE RUB
Says. He Likes Portland and Will
Try Hard to Furnish Northwest
ern League Team Here Worthy
of City's Best Support,
William H. Lucas, president of the
Northwestern League, arrived in Port
land yesterday morning and Is busily en
gaged in installing his office and find
ing a residence for hlmseir ana iamny,
Mr. Lucas is located temporarily et the
Hotel Nortonia. but hopes soon to secure
office quarters in a downtown building,
where he will be at home to the fans.
Ever since the break between the Port
land Club and the Northwestern League,
In 1902. the president of the league has
been working hard to regain this city tn
the Northwestern territory, and now that
he has finally succeeded, he intends to
remain on the ground for the purpose of
dispelling whatever differences may still
exist.
Yesterday his talk was naturally base
ball and the new arrangement, whereby
Portland is to have two teams. Mr.
Lucas said:
"I have the utmost confidence in this
as a baseball city, and have always liked
Portland, its climate, people and business
acumen. Now that the Northwestern
League is again In this field, we intend
to give the fans the best we have. The
Pacific Coast League has some classy boll
players. It is true, but I also believe that
the" Northwestern League can duplicate
anything the Callfornians produce, and
this is to be our aim. Every club in the
Northwestern League is strengthening
itself to meet whatever McCredie has on
his Portland team. and. while there Is a
possibility that he may spring a surprise.
I believe that he will have his hands
full if he tries.
"Dugdale is compelled to extend him
self this year, and in view of his showing
last year, of which he is as much ashamed
as anyone, he can be depended upon to
give Seattle a really first-class club. Se
attle wants- it, and made it plain to Dug
last year, and he has been in the. business
too long not to be able to slue up the sit
uation. He must either give Seattle a
good team, or Seattle will demand his
retirement. The other clubs will be
equally strong, and the fans of Portland
can count upon seeing first-class teams
representing rv&ncouver. Taccona, Spo
kane and Aberdeen. Vancouver Is one
of the best baseball centers In America
and the manner In which the fans sup
ported their team last year was a sur
prise to us. while Aberdeen has the most
loyal people In the league. They have
posted a guarantee which assures each
club visiting the Grays Harbor town
against financial loss."
President Lucas held a long talk with
Walter McCredie relative to the Portland
situation, during which the question of
a new grandstand was taken up, but noth
ing definite decided upon because the
matter will have to be referred to the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com
pany, owners of the property. The prop
osition of securing a new stand, or at
least repairing the old one to a great ex
tent, will be one of President Lucas'
first official actions. The baseball com
pany controlled by the MeCredies leases
the park from year to year, and ,on this
account does not feel warranted In erect
ing a costly stand unless guaranteed by
substantial lease.
HE THREW TEDDY DOWN
Wrestler Dwyer Only Man to Put
Roosevelt on Mat.
Professor M. j. Dwyer is one of the few
people In the country who has put Presi
dent Roosevelt down without being nom
inated and elected to the Ananias Club.
The President is a great sportsman, as
everybody knows, but his interest goes
beyond football and hunting. When there
is something especially good coming oft
in the National Capital, the President is
very liable to be there In a front seat.
It was that very thing that got him
Mike J. Dwyer for a wrestling instructor
three or four years ago. Dwyer, who is
one of the best known public charactera
among the higher ups In the country, had
given dozens of the Senators. Representa
tives and foreign Ambassadors wrestling
lessons around Washington before. Ho
had been away for a little time and a
new man. Joe Grant, came In to get the
trade. Dwyer was on the road wrestling,
and an enterprising promoter matched
him with Joe Grant. It was widely ad
vertised and nearly all the dress suits In
Washington were pressed into service to
fit out the high .brows to see the show.
President Roosevelt was there.
Now. the Chief Executive thought he
was some of a wrestler himself. He re
called the days at Harvard when he was
the champion of the freshman class. His
friends touted Dwyer so highly that
Dwver was Invtted up to the White
House gym the next day for an exhibition
bout with the strenuous President.
Michael J. does not handle anybody with
gloves, and he promptly pinned Mr.
Roosevelt's shoulders to the mat.
"Once Is an accident." thought the
sponsor of Taft, "I'll get him this time."
He did not. Dwyer threw mm tnree
times "in 20 minutes. Mr. Roosevelt was
convinced by that time that there were
things about wrestling he did not know
and Professor Dwyer was retained to give
the Administration wrestling lessons.

Seattle Man Wants to Arrange Match
With Proviso He Can Throw Port
land Lad SO Times in Hoar.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec, 10. (Spe
cial.) B. F. Roller has sent to Dr.
Wiley G. Woodruff, an old college mate
at the University of Pennsylvania, who
is now a practicing physician at Port
land, a check for J250 as a forfeit for
a bet of $500 in case Eddie O'Connell
is willing to wrestle Roller on the
latter's terms.
Roller's proposition Is to bet O'Con
nell 50O that he can throw him 30
times in an hour. If O'Connell will put
up the money. Roller says he will meet
the Portland man in private before the
O'Connell and Mike Dwyer match.
Roller says several times O'Connell
or sdmeone speaking for him has pro
posed a. match in which Roller should
agree to throw O'Connell three times
in an hour. Roller says he is willing
to kick the roof off the limit and
make It 30 instead of 3. He says he
believes O'Connell has been talking of
a match simply for advertising pur
poses and he proposes to stop it.
ROLLER'S WEIGHT TOO GREAT
O'Connell Claims to Be In Welter
weight Class, Not Heavyweight.
BY W. -J. PETRAIX.
The unheard of nmnnuiiln .nm ti
B. F. Roller, of Seattle, In which he is
quoted as announcing that he can throw
Eddie O'Connell, the Multnomah club In
structor. 20 times in one hour looks
much more like a bid for advertising
than the Multnomah man's claim that he
can not accomplish, the feat three times
In the same period of time.
O'Connell has not taken on Roller sim
ply because he has arranged other
matches more Bultable to him. Roller
is a heavyweight and O'Connell. at best,
merely a welter. -and the difference in
their weight Is something like 60 or 60
pounds. The Multnomah' instructor is
probably willing to pit his science against
the Seattle man. but there would be
nhnut an much sense In a iTan i ..
between Roller and O'Connell as a prlze-
ngnr. Detween Jim Jeffries and Abe At
tell. As Roller some time ago announced
himself as a pug Instead of a wrestler.

displayed is unquestionably a new $225 style Repnaphone, this being undoubtedly the highest achievement
as vet attained in the phonographic field.
The marvelous Victor Victrola is shown in several superb styles; the prices being $200 and $300.
Another instrument, shaped somewhat like a miniature piano, Is designated as a "Symphony Grand." It
possesses a most wonderful velvety tone and is priced at $200.
An instrument known as the "Auxetophone," wherein an electric motor creates a powerful air current,
which is forced against the reproducing diaphragm, thereby greatly increasing the volume of sound, is also
displayed. This instrument costs $500 and is particularly adaptable for very large gatherings.
The double-sided Victor and Columbia disc records are now being sold in large quantities at Eilers
