JERRIES" VERNON ARENA. Cal..
Tec. 31. A Ismail crowd witnessed a slow
and uninteresting fight between Al
(Kaufman and Jim Barry tonight In
which, contrary to expectations. Barry
had the better or Kaufman, the favorite
In the betting. At the end of the 2Sth
round neither man was greatly damaged,
but Barry had the better of it.
Winner to Meet Holler.
Tonight's fight waa the first 45
round contest ever scheduled In South
ern California, and the prospect of a
long mill meant much to the devotees
of the fight game. Kaufman wtas a
beavy favorite in the betting-, and but
few picked the Chicago man as a like
ly winner. It was stated that Barry
had backed himself to win at odds o
2 to 1. Some other bets were placed a
10 to S and 10 to 7.
It Is probable that the winner of to
nlirhfs battle will first meet J Jr. a.
f. Roller, of Seattle, who has already
challenged, before a fight with John-
ion will take place.
Kaufman had the advantage over
Barrv In weight f at least 10 pounds,
the Californian weighing about 195
pounds. The fipht was for 50 per cent
of the gate receipts, with a guarantee
to each fighter of 12500.
House Is Not l"uli.
At 8:15 P. M. the gloves for the con-
:et were thrown into the ring and
Referee Byton appeared at the ringside.
The houf-e was only about two-thirds
full, hardly a third of the 110 seats being
ccupled.
Kaufman and Barry entered the ring
t :M and the fK'ht began at 9:46.
The fight was slow up to the end of the
third round. Both men fought cautiously.
Barry landed more frequently than Kauf
man. He seemed quicker and shiftier on
his feet.
Barry was bleeding slightly at the
mouth at the end of the sixth, but he
had had the best of four of' the six
rounds. The exchange was timid thus
far.
Barry had Kaufman all but out at the
end of the eighth round. He landed
terrific right on the r.osc that dazed
Kaufman and followed It a moment later
with a rain of rights and lefts to the
face that rendered Kaufman very groggy.
Kaufman came up a little groggy in
the ninth.
Kaufman Gets Worst.
At the beginning of the eleventh, both
men were fighting slowly and neither was
much hurt. Barry had the better of
it so far.
It -waa a slow fight up to the four
teenth, and very little class waa shown
on either side. Kaufman suffered prac
tically all the damage.
The fifteenth round was even, and in
Improvement over the previous half dos
en rounds. Both men had swollen left
eyes. Both were apparently as strong as
at the beginning.
The sixteenth was the best alnce
the start.
Up to the twentieth round tt was a
very slow and and uninteresting fight,
at times amateurish. Kaufman showed
very little at any time. Neither man had
suffered much damace.
Much Interest Displayed.
The fact that the winner of the Al
Kaufman-Jim Barry 45-round fight to
night would likely prove to be the next
rhallenger for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world lent more wide
spread interest to the contest than any
other that, has been held here for a long
time.
While neither Kaufman nor Barry were
considered by fistic experts as beini;
necessarily of championship timber, they
have gradually fought their way to the
top of a mediocre class with no one
standing between them and the cham
pionship but Jack Johnson, the conqueror
of Burns. Barry had previously said he
was willing to meet Johnson at any time
and place if he succeeded in defeating
Kaufman, but the latter was more re
luctant, and his manager has stated that
under no circumstances would Kaufman
be allowed to fteht a negro.
At the close of the 25th round it was still
a slow and uninteresting contest. Barry
had all the best of it in every way.
Neither man bad been badly hurt or
materially weakened.
'civil, of different nationalities are per
forming prodigies, but the task before
them is almost hopeless. Added to the
diflli-ulty of obtaining food and water
there are no drugs or surgical appliances.
Temporary hospitals are being rigged up,
hut comparatively only a few can be
relieved and the m-enes of horror defy
description. Thn survivors of the earth
quake are suffering cruel extremities, and
In Messina they may be seen everywhere
vainly searching In the dust and debris
for morsels of food.'
Pa I ml Has 1500 Dead.
I.nte dispatches slate that the City of
lalmi contains 15t0 dead and twice as
many Injured. Two-thirds of the town
was laid waste. All the villages adjacent
are destroyed.
The King has telegraphed Premier Glo
Utti Informing him that Reggio is In the
same awful condition ae Messina and an
nouncing that a Russian steamer with
50O injured will arrive at Naples tomor
row. His Majesty asks that all prepara
tlons be made for their reception at the
hospitals, and requests that the ship be
sent back with all the doctors that can
be mustered.
Corpses C'lioke Stralls.
Dispatches from Catania describe Mes
sina as appearing like a huge Incandes
cent furnace. The fire spread to .the
buildings that had not yet fallen, com
pleting the work of destruction. The
Strait of Messina is now choked with
corpses of men and animals.
At the present time there are 18 war
ships at Messina four Italian, four Brit
ish and four Russian as well as a num
ber of destroyers and steamers, the Tat
ter belonging to the Italian Central Nav
igation Company. The Injured are being
carried aboard the steamers and will
be removed to Naples.
Cannot Reach HeRglo.
General Maraxl. commandant at Cat
ansaro. has telegraphed to the govern
ment that he has tried vainly for days
to reach Reggio by land and sea. The
roads are impassable and the shore has
been so torn and twisted, as far as ne
traveled in Calabria, that It was lm-
nossil.Ie to approach by water.
At the Ministry of Marine worff has
fceen received that frightful looting ami
pillage occurred at R.-gglo. This place
will have few survivors, as It has be?n
impossible for the relief expeditions to
reach It.
Bagnara looses 10,000.
Bagnara, a town of 10.000 people north
of Reggio. is reported as annihilated. The
entire population is said to have perished.
Fresh earth shocks were experienced
last night at PIzro, in Calabria and Pa
lermo. Sicily, last evening. They were not
not severe.
Cable communication with the Aeolian
Islands, 25 miles north of Sicily, is in
terrupted. It la feared that the Islands
have also been devastated.
The largest of the group Is the Island of
Ltpari, and the oapltal of the Islands,
which has a population of 12.000.
The volcano of Stromboll la active and
the seas around the island are very agi
tated and dangerous to navigation.
The Pope has telegraphed the arch
bishop at Palermo a large sum of money
and Instructed him to proceed to Messina
Immediately and help the survivors.
Despair of Their Relatives.
ft Is Impossible to exaggerate the state
of despair in this city of the thousand
aCIabrians and Sicilians. Most of them
have relatives in the stricen area. The
telegraph offices are besieged by weeping
men and woman demanding, oeseecning,
and crying for Information or the dis
patch of a message.
A telegram received here irom -ai-
mira says the continuance of the storm is
bringing the greatest hardship to tne sur
vivors. The streets are described as nileo
with naked, hungdy and neipless people.

to be staying at Taormlna. which is on
the east coast, about 30 miles southwest
of Messina. According to the latest re
ports, the place suffered no harm from
the earthquake.
Worse Horrors Than War's.
The Minister of War is dispatching or
ders to the military authorities who have
practically taken over absolute power
throughout the rone of the earthquake,
explaining:
"Tills disaster has resulted In a greater
loss of life than any of our wars for In
dependence. Indeed, the situation 1s
much worse, as while war is always "pre
ceded bv a period of preparation, this
happened within 40 seconds. While war
nly affects the young and strong among
the people, the present calamity las
mowed down women and children, old
men and youths. While In war the arm-
Ics are followed by the most complete
camp hospitals, the numberless wounded
in Calabria and Eastern Sicily have been
left In many cases for 4S hours without
ssststance. Even when rescued, it is im
possible to house them, everything avail
nble having been filled by the dead. Lack
of care and starvation will complete the
work that the forces of nature haw left
undone."
Nation Hasten to Aid.
All the heads of foreign states have
nt expressions of warmest sympathy
end deepest condolence. The message of
France was especially warm and she Is
dispatching five warships from Toulon to
3Ieeslna. This Is hailed as a token of
love from a sister race.
The Minister of Marine tonight received
word that the steamship Taormina and
Campania, laden with 4o.0 b?ds and a
large supply of provisions, had left Genoa
bound for Messina. Other steamers, also
fully stocked, are on their way to the
stricken cities from various ports.
MESSINA'S CRY, FOR FOOD
Treasure Rescued, Hospitals Crowd
ed, People Hungry.
CATANIA. Dec. 30. The latest news
from Messina is that some progress is
being made in the work of succoring
the wounded survivors, but no attempt
s beinir made to remove the wreckage.
The troops and sailors have been obliged
to shoot down robbers who persistea in
looting. The entire local treasury of the
Messina branch of the Bank of Italy.
amounting to fcJ.OOO.OCO. has been saved
and is aboard an Italian warsuip.
The rescuers at Messina are rapidly
becoming exhausted. The fires have not
yet been put out and there Is no water
with which to combat the flames. Many
of the people still refuse to leave the
ruins of their homes. Tney cling to the
sites of their houses, crying out that
their only safety is In fidelity to the
wreckage. Force is often necessary to
get them to the ships in the harbor.
Large numbers In the suburbs of Messina
nill not come back into the city for fear
of a recurrence of the shocks.
A dispatch received here from Deputy
Felice at Messina says:
"Organize a squad of volunteers for
rescue work. Send us food, for we are
dying of hunger. A number of the sur
vivors are leaving today for Catania.
Receive them with love and fraternity.
It Is the duty of every family In Catania
to shelter a family from Messina."
Only two members of the Municipal
Council of Messina survived the dis
aster.
The bluejackets from the Russian war
ships at Messina have performed valorous
sen-ice. They risked their Hve3 reck-
cssly In the work of extricating the
wounded. Hospitals have been Improvised
In the railroad station, which 1s partially
standing, in another building and on
board the steamer Reina Margherlta, bnt
these are already full.
A roll-call of me 8th Infantry reveals
the fact that there are only 10 sur
vivors. A man named Roberto, tne solo survivor
of his family, became mad from grief in
Catania today and committed suicide.
SCEXF OK UTTER DESOLATION
Messina Heaps of ltuina Death Si
lence Over Reggio.
CATANIA, Dec. 30. As far as facts
concerning Messina become available
they corroborate in every detail the
worst fears heretofore expressed. The
cathedral, municipal buildings, bar
racks and prisons are all destoyed. and
presumably all the smaller buildings
shared the same fate. Of 2S0 railway
employes in the station at Messina
only eight are known to have survived.
At Reggio the silence of death still
reigns, leaving to the Imagination
the terrible havoc wrought by the
catastrophe, with the horrible inrush
of the sea. the swallowing up of boats,
the crushing of ships and the destruc
tion ot bridges and walls- The sea
became nlmost instantly covered with
debris after the upheaval, containing
refuse of every description, dotted with
human bodies.
When the day dawned the entire
shore line of the surrounding country
was utterly changed In appearance.
The const line was greatly altered,
while of all the majrnlflcent houses
along the shore, only a few tottering
ruins remained. From these ruins,
from time to time, there sprang jets
of flame and smoke.
"While their movements are unan
nounced by band music or other demon
stration, the antl-Statement-antl-Cham-berlaln
forces declare they have not re
laxed their efforts to defeat the Gov
eror's election as Senator by the Legis
lature next month. They are averse to
discussing their plans, but say that the
result of their labors will be seen when
the Legislature convenes. So far as
can be learned, the Chamberlain oppo
sition is depending largely on the In
fluence that will be exerted by the peti
tions, which are expected to Jrelieve
Statement members from fulfilling their
pledges.
Just what progress Is being made in
the way of securing signatures to these
petitions which are being circulated In
Umatilla, Wasco and Union counties,
the authors of the petitions will not dis
close. At the same time. It la under
stood that similar petitions will be cir
culated in some of the Willamette Val
ley counties. The plan probably will be
to gather these documents together from
the different counties and spring them
on the members, of the Legislature
day or two before the time for taking
the vote In the two houses on thu elee
tlon of Senator. These petitions will be
relied on as the opening wedge to de
feat or to defer the election of Senator
beyond the time allotted for the election,
Only an Opening Wedge.
Statement members say they are con
vlnced that the purpose of the petitions
now being circulated is entirely prelim
inary to the determined fight that will
be waged against Chamberlain when the
Legislature convenes. They insist that
the success of the efforts to defeat Cham
berlain depends in no small measure on
the organization of both houses of the
Legislature by the anti-Statement
forces. That having been accomplished
say the Statement people, the petitions
will serve as an excuse to postpone the
election of Senator, while, with the Leg
islature satisfactorily organized, a com
mittee can be appointed to inquire into
the petitions and their significance as
reflecting the sentiment of the voters.
This would tend to postpone for an in
definite period, say the pledged members.
and give the anti-Statement forces
longer time to disorganize the Chamber
lain strength of 61 members in the Leg
islature. Need Help From Inside.
But in 'predicting this possible condi
tion, the Statement people realize that
It can be brought about only with the
assistance of some of their number.
Since there will be 51 Statement mem
bers in the joint assembly, at least
seven would have to consent to a post
ponement of the election of Senator.
Such of the pledged members as would
permit themselves to be influenced by
the petitions would be expected to con
sent to put off the election of Senator.
pending an Inquiry Into the petitions and
their signatures.
At the same time the Statement men
do not hesitate to predict that If the
Legislature refuses to elect Chamberlain
there will be a deadlock. They assert
that under such circumstances Fulton
cannot be elected to succeed himself,
while they charge that no other repre
sentative citizen will be found who will
consent to accept the election of Senator
by a Legislature that repudiates Cham
berlain as the popular choice. They
contend that if the opposition succeeds
in Influencing a sufficient number of the
Statement legislators to defeat Cham
berlain, the other pledged members will
stand together In opposing any other
candidate, and nobody will be able to
command the support of the combined
anti-Chamberlain strength.

BILL TO AMEND J CRY SYSTEM
Amendment of Constitution to Be
Proposed In Legislature.
To save expense and delay in Jury trials
and reduce the "hung jury" abuse, an
amendment to the constitution will be
proposed in the Oregon Legislature, for
enactment of the state voters In the gen
eral election in November, 1910. The bill
as drafted by Judge Cleland and Judge
Oantenbein provides a Jury of six mem
bers in prosecutions for misdemeanors
and the lesser crimes and in civil suits
involving less than $2CO0. In prosecutions
for treason and first degree murder the
verdict shall be returned by all 12 Jurors
and for other offenses by five-sixths of
the jury members. In civil suits two
thirds of the Jury shall return the ver
dict. This change, its advocates contend,
would greatly lessen the heavy per diem
cost of jurors, by reducing their number
In service more than one-third; it would
prevent most of the Jury disagreements
nnd save the expense of many retrials.
Trials of the lesser crimes and felonies
and of small city suits, take up most of
the time of the Circuit Court. Obstinate
Jurors, under the present system, cause
disagreements In many cases Where Jus
tice Is clearly on the side of the majority
of the jurors. The unanimous jury rule
thus often defeats the ends of Justice.
VRGE NEED OF MORE JUDGES
Bar Association Committee to Meet
Multnomah Delegation.
For the purpose of bringing before the
Multnomah County delegation to the
Legislature the necessity of two addi
tional Judges In this district, the special
committee from the Multnomah Bar As
sociation appointed for the purpose will
probably hold a conference with the
Multnomah delegation on Tuesday next,
although the date haa not been definitely
fixed.
The committee proposes to present sta
tistics to show that the proposed in
crease in the number of judges is ur
gently needed and that if such reHef is
not granted at this sessison It will be
two years before any increase can be
made, and In that length of time the
growth of the county and of the busi
ness coming before the court would

Both Sides Claim Victory, Though
Harding Is Worrying Camps
as "Dark Horse."
COLUMBUS. O.. Dec. 80. At the con
clusion of. three hours' conference this
afternoon of Charles P. Taft and hi
supporters and Attorney-General Wade
H. Ellis, of Ohio, who returned today
from a conference with W. H. Taft and
National Chairman Hitchcock, it was an
nounced that the fight against Congress
man Burton for the Senatorshlp will be
carried forward with increased vigor.
In the shadow of the Senatorial struggle
all of the old differences of the Republi
can party in this state are being threshed
out. Mr. Taft is being supported by the
"organization, and. consequently is op
posed by the men who for years have
been fighting the organization.
President-elect Taft, whether he would
have It so or not, is a dominant figure in
the struggle, and oddly enough, friends of
both Mr. Burton and Mr. Charles P. Taft
are claiming his sympathy with some
other cause. The Vorys-Hitchcock inci
dent of the National campaign is by no
means forgotten.
Claims of victory continue to Issue
today from the headquarters of Messrs.
Taft and Burton, while there was much
discussion of the newcomer among the
candidates, former Lieutenant-Govern
or Warren G. Harding, of Marlon. Dr.
Harding was first brought forward as
a candidate last night, and today was
regarded as one of the favorite "dark
horses" In the contest. The fact that
Mr. Harding had a number of confer
ences with Charles P. Taft before al
lowing his name to be used, lent added
interest to his candidacy, and there was
also a report that Mr. Harding was
not unfavorably regarded at Foraker
headquarters.
OUTSIDE OFFICIALS NEEDED
ALLEGED UNFAIRNESS IN" BAS
KETBALL DECISION'S.
Western Oregon Interscholastlc As
sociation Stirred by Complaints
About Silverton Referee.
ALBANY, Or., Dec. 30. (Special.) The
Western Oregon Interscholastlc Associa
tion may be forced to adopt the 6ystem
of outside officials for its basketball
games. That Is the opinion of local play
ers and officers of the association.
Last season the system of having one
official from each school represented in
the game was tried and occasioned much
complaint. The present season is but
two weeks old. and already a howl has
gone up which is shaking the founda
tions of the aesoclatlon. The game be
tween the High Schools of Albany and
Eugene a week ago ended in a dispute
and a protested game. The Silverton
High School won from Salem Monday
night and Albany last night, and both vic
tories are alleged to have been largely
due to the work of the Silverton referee.
Silverton won from Albany by a single
point, and the decisions of the referee
are said to have been manifestly unfair.
Silverton also won from Salem by a very
narrow margin. Both teams will prob
ably protest the games on account of his
decisions.
The plan which will probably supersede
the present system is the same as that
used by the State Basketball League,
One official will be selected from each
city In the league, and he will not offi
ciate In any game In which a team from
his own dty plays. The only objection
is the extra expense, but It is contended
that with a fair and Impartial referee
the umpire could be dispensed with.
Whitworth Promises to Give
Multnomah Drubbing.
BOTH TEAMS IN FINE FORM
Local Clubmen Hope to End Season
on Xew Year's Day With Victory
Over Fast Bunch From
City of , Destiny.
The football exponents of" Whitworth
College,' 6f Tacoma, will arrive in Port
land today, and if they reach the city
early enough, the collegians may work
out on Multnomah Field preparatory to
the big game against the Multnortiah
Amateur Athletic Club eleven, scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon.
The reports emanating from the
camps of the rival elevens aw to the
effect that each team is fully prepared to
put up a gruelling struggle for the final
honors of the football season, which
will be concluded when the decision of
tomorrow Is reached.
Whitworth, heretofore comparatively
unknown, has, during the past season,
developed one of the strongest teams In
this section of the country. The Ta
coma lads gained prowess at the start
by playing the champion University of
Washington team to a very close score,
and while defeated, 6 to 0, easily demon
strated that they were entitled to con
sideration from the big colleges. Shortly
after this Whitworth defeated the Whit
man College team, the fast and speedy
aggregation of Coach Blanchard,
Walla Walla. This splendid achieve
ment was followed by the Jolt adminis
tered1 to the thousands of admirers of
the University of Oregon, when Whit
worth came to Eugene and succeeded in
effectually dashing Oregon's hope of
producing another champion eleven.
Arthur Rueber s lads assailed the En
gene contingent from the sound of the
whistle and when the smoke of the bat
tie cleared away the University of Ore
gon had succumbed to the Tacoma boy
by the score of 14 to 10.
In view of Whltworth's victory over
Oregon and the latter team's subsequen
defeat of Multnomah, it would seem that
the Portland clubmen would have their
work cut out for them If they are to ac
complish their cherished ambition to
wind up the season with a victory. Cap
tain Stott and Manager Pratt are groom
ing their players in a manner that has
gained the approval as well as the con
fidence of the club adherents who have
watched the workouts.
"Cupid" Tommy Ross has been in har
ness for several days and is now getting
over the soreness and seems to enjoy
the sport in the same manner that
brought him fame in the olden days
when he was one of the club's main
stays. Tommy, who Is a young giant
for he weighs over 250 pounds and is
some high in the air," comes as a most
welcome addition to the clubmen s line
up, for he fits in nicely in place of Rev
erend Paul Rader, who is 111. With
such a powerful man as Ross in place
of Rader, that gap Is filled in the most
satisfactory manner.
One thing seems assured, and that is
that the big holiday crowd which will
assemble at Multnomah Field tomorrow
afternoon will see one of the hardest-
fought football games of the season when
the clever collegians and the sturdy
clubmen get Into the last game of the
season. The game is scheduled for
o'clock sharp, and Frank J. Lonergan
and HugluJ. Boyd will act as officials.
Manager Martin Pratt last night re
ceived the line-up of the Whitworth Col
lege team as it will face Multnomah to
morrow. Together with the array of
the clubmen, it is as follows:

SYDNEY OBJKCTS TO BRUISERS
Prize Fights May Be Barred Here
after in New South Wales.
SYDNEY. N. S. W., Dec 30. William
H. Woods, Chief Secretary of New
South Wales, in an Interview today
said that the prizefight, situation at
Sydney was being given serious consid
eration by tiie government authorities,
as the Burns-Johnson contest last Sat
urday savored of being more brutal
and repulsive than scientific. He de
clared that unless infighttng waa elim
inated, boxing here would have to be
regarded as an illegitimate sport. Dr.
Woods said that an attempt would be
made to amend the laws, so as to make
New South Wales less of a happy hunt
ing ground for securing Dig stakes, as
in the iast contest, as it was not de
sired that Sydney should correspond
with the Pacific Slope regarding pugi
listic undertakings. However, as a re
sult of the low character of pugilism
Indicated by the fight on Saturday, the
police would prevent any further con
test here between Burns and Johnson.
