The ancient nl honorable eame of

the sulotltutlnn of LaSa!!e for "Peter

call.
A taik with Mr. LaSaHc. who left in the
afternoon for sunnier clime further south,
as refreshing. According to th.s gentle
man he received 11 hours- notice from M.
J. Dwyer. of Chicaso. to proceed to Port
land and wrestle O'Connell under tha
name of "Peterson." In explanation of
thi.-. according to Lna!le. Dwyer toid him
tiie r.-al Peterson had acquired a bad case
ef biood-poteonlns in a r-v-ent bout, and
was unavailable for mat purposes. Hence
tiie advent of jA-.aal!e. and hence the flut
tering moon the athletic dovecotes.
Sir. Laalle -was inclined to be cauntlc
Jn his remlnlacrMccs. "Dwyer told me I
could throw this local man every ten
minutes." he said. "I came on. and found
a. man who knows the same from A to
7.. 1 did my best, but wasn't in condi
tion. The laugh is on me. Tills man can
throw the real Peterson, and he can

Admitted He Wus La, Salle.
"I told the promoters, when they sus
pected my Id-ntity. that my name was,
J-aSalie. and I told O'Connell. too. I told
U'Connell lefore the match."
Mr. O'Connell says that LaSalle told
Mm after the match. The promoters were
wL-e In declaring all bets off. and. ac
cording to rlrjcstde accounts, the public
srot a lively tiki for it money, and a eood,
atlff match resulted.
Mr. LaSalle regretted the publicity, and
the discovery of his name. He opined
three things were not good for the game.
lASalle asserted very stroncly that he
was a total stranger to all partic con
cerned, that he had been steered up
sainst the "real thing." instead of a,
pivce of "easy money." and he wa en
tirely of the opinion that the matter of
his opparlr5 as an understudy In the
role was solely the result of a deposition
to ohlise. and because of the injury to
the bona fide Peterson.
Mr. O'Connell told a perfectly frank
and straightforward story. He was
matched to meet Charles Peterson, and
the appearance of a dark-eyed, dark
haired "Swede" as his opponent wji
something in the. nature of a decided
racial surprise. It didn't seem "the
p.xMis:" It looked fishy. He taxed the
Importation, and was told, after the
match was over, the truth, lie did not
wi.-h to appear reluctant to wrestle, the
crowd was there, and after the public
was fully Informed, and all bets were de
clared "off." he went In and won.
O'Connell regretted the attempt to "in
troduce" a substitute.
Changes Bad for Game.
Chanc.es of this kind, even when made
to "till in." to avoid disappointing an
audience, are bad for the game. Time

had as country foot-races. Clean sport
In this line will always be popular, and
To pains should be Fpared to make and

Want Man ot Kqual Weight.
Local sportsmen and the promoters
fcere of the wrestling game, believe It Is
time O'Connell was sent agaiast a man
cf his own-weight. He has In all his
late matches been handicapped by great
overweight In hla opponents. A good
man. however acienced. gets tired of
lugging many pounds of overweight
around on the wrestling mat. It forces
him too much on the defensive, and
fives him no opportunity to show con
stant aggressiveness. The local men de
precate the "substitution." and point to
tiie telegram, and the constant announce
ment of Peterson, and his description as
a blende. In proof of their good faith. It
would seem to be up to Mr. Dwyer grace
fully (if possible) to accept the honor of

new deal, and the "real g-oods." or let
the game go to the athletic "scrap-heap."
Let us have no repetition of announce
ment and preparation, anxiety and anti

lic, and then fiascos that give the sport
a "solar plexus." "
If not. let us take to heart the Gil

DENVER. Jan. 8. The following tele

sage asking the ex-champion under what
conditions he would enter the ring to
fight Jack Johnson for the championship:
"I would not think of re-entering the

THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JANUARY
ITCH IS OFFERED
Roller Wants O'Connell and
Franklin to Wrestle.
POSTS $250 AS FORFEIT
O'Connell Is Willing, but Says Ho
Fears Man With AVliom Money Is
Put Up Is Xot Neutral and Re
views Talk of Challenge.
Dr. B. F. Roller, of Seattle, has writ
ten the sporting editor of .The Oregonlan
a letter concerning a proposed match be
tween Charles Franklin, of Svattle, and
Edward O'Connell, of the Multnomah
Club. Portland, of which the following
are the salient extracts:
I am sending to Dr. TVylle O. Woodruff
a, draft for S'J.'.O as a forfeit and part ot a
side-bet of 11000 to bind a match between
O'Connell and Charles Franklin, of this
city A sporting man wrote for O'Connell.
and if I am not mistaken. O'Connell wrote
tor himself to a paper here that they
would bet 11000 that Franklin could not
threw O'Connell five times In an hour, and
I am taking up that offer for Franklin.
Their proposition was to send the money
to one of the evening papers or a certain
bank In Porllaml. which I do not know.
I do not cam to trust my money with
his friends, but I am willing to take Dr.
Woodruff as stakeholder and referee. As
they accepted him once before, 1 suppose
they wlil have no objection to him now If
they mean to he fair. I want only a square
deal, but that much I Insist on Now.
O Connell has been doing a lot of talklmf
down there, but he showed that he hid no
desire to wrestle for real money when he
failed to take up my offer to throw him .10
times In an hour when he Knew that my
money was posted with Woodruff. He Is
now making excuses that ho did not know
that my money was there till It was sent
barow I think It Is time for Portland to
make him wrestle or get out.
I am offering to wiser $1000 thai
Charles Franklin can throw O'Connell five
times In an hour, catch as catch can. Po
lice Oazetto rules straight, with Woodruff
m, referee. My money Is sent ($250) to
bind the match, and I sincerely hope that
the match can be arranged. ,
B. F. ROLEER.
A talk with O'Connell showed an en
tire willingness on his part to "hook
up" with either Franklin or Dr. Roller,
provided the match was to be on a
wrestling-mat. .and not on letter-heads.
O'Connell points out that In 300 matches
he has been beaten but seven times, af
terwards beating four of these seven
men; that he was a champion wrestler
at Yalo College when Dr. Roller as
wrestling with propositions In Euclid at
another Eastern I'nlversity; that Dr.
Roller has wrestled about one-tenth as
many matches as O'Connell; that Roller's
modest proposition to throw him, O'Con
nell, 30 times In an hour Is Interesting,
If true: that he cannot come too quick
with such a proposal, provided he backs
it up with cash, not clamor; that money,
and not conversation, talks tn wrestling
contests; that he also insists on a squaie
deal and wants a certified check, or the
money, put up with any bank in Port
land, or with any newspaper in Portlnnd.
Dr. Roller's proposal thi hfs friend.
Dr. Woodruff, shall be stakeholder and
referee sounds peculiar to O'Connell. for
he thinks referees are supposed to be
neutral. Dr. Roller weighs ZM pounds.
He has done some wrestling and pre
sumably he will have to "go some" to
throw a man like O'Connell. even though
the latter weighs only 115 pound?. 30
times tn an hour.
HOW ROLLGflLL WILL GO
MAJORITY OF NAMES START
EARLY IV ALPHABET.
Only One Smith In Lower House
This Year Xo Xante Beyond
This Two RolU Compared.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 8. (Special.) Abbott
and Altman, of Multnomah, and Apple
gate, of Douglas, will be ajt the head
of the roll call In the House of Repre
sentatives at the coming session of the
Legislature. Barrett, of Umatilla,
Reals, of Tillamook, and Bean, of Lnne,
will come next in order. While the order
of the roll call Is not necessarily of im
portance, it is, In fact, for the members
near tlio head of the list have more
Influence than those further down. A
few negative votes early in the roll call
will frequently cause members who aro
In doubt to vote in the negative also
when they would vote In the afflrtnative
If the early voting Indicated that the
measure under consideration had little
opposition. The Senate roll call will be
headed -by Abraham, of Douglas, fol
lowed by Albee and Bailey, of Multno
mah. One of the noticeablo features of the
roll call Is that the names of 52 of the
Representatives begin with a letter in
the first half of the alphabet, while only
eight of the Representatives have names
beginning with letters In the last half.
Tho last name on the House roll call is
Smith and there Is only one Smith in the
House, whereas It was formerly" common
to have four or rive Smiths in that body.
The roll call Is strong evidence that
under the direct primary system men
whose names appear high up on the bal
lot have the best chance of winning.
There are 13 Representatives whoso
names begin with "B."
In the Senate a) members have names
beginning with letters In the first half
of the alphabet, while 10 have names
beginning with letters in the last half.
L'nder normal conditions It might be
expected that about two-tnlrds of the
members would have names beginning
with letters In the first half of the alpha
bet, for about that proportion of names
In general so begin. There are fewer
candidates for the Senate than for the
House, so that place on tho ballot had
much less influence in Senatorial con
tests' than in contests for seats in the
House.
In the Legislature of 1901. before the
direct primary system of nominaSons
was adopted. SS members of the House
had names beginning with letters in the
first half of the alphabet and 22 had
names beginning with letters In the last
half. There Is only one man whose name
begins with "S" In the House in lSOa
and none following him. In the House of
l'.U there were Schumann, Shipley.
Simpson, Smith of Marlon. Smith of
t'matllla. Story, Stewart. Talbcrt,
Thompson, Thomson. Vincent, Watson
and Whitney. The Senate of 1301 had
three members whose names came later
In the alphabet than "3." while tho
Senate of lf-JS has but one.
The House of ISM contained 37 mem
bers whose names commenced with let
ters In the first half of tho alphabet and
23 whose names commenced with letters
in the last half. There were in that
House Sherwin. Smith. Stanley. Stewart,
Stltlman. Stump. Thompson of Clacka
mas. Thompson of Washington. Topping,
Virtue, Whalley. Whitney. Williamson.
Wonacott and Young. In the Senate
that year were 22 men whose names be
gan with letters In the first half of the
alphabet and eight whose names began
with letters in the last nau.
Direct Primary Disqualifies.
A comparison ot records sems to
prove quite clearly that the direct pri
mary law has established a sort of dis
qualification for any office to which
there are a large number of aspirants.
That is, that a man whose name begins
with one of the latter letters of the al
phabet has a tremendous handicap in
the race.
The Senate roll call at the coming: ses

CITY OBTAINS OPTIONS
MAY BUY 3IOTJXT TABOR PROP
ERTY FOR PARKS.
Fark Board AV111 Take Definite Ac
tion Monday Afternoon Toward
Purchasing Xew Sites.
Options to the aggregate of H-fl.OOO on
property on Mount Tabor were secured
by the City Park Board, at a special
meeting held yesterday afternoon. This
is believed to represent about one-half
of the land In that tract desired for the
purposes of parks and reservoirs. The
acreage Involved la indefinite, and will
not be known until checked over by the
Board. Another special session will be
held Monday afternoon, at whloh further
action will bo taken. It is certain that
at least a portion of the property will be
recommended for purchase.
An offer for the stile of 18 acres of
ground lying Just west of the present City
Park was made by D. EL Keasy for the
Western Oregon Trust Company, the
price being J100.0C0. Twelve acres in the
tame tract were offered at a price of
$)1.000. This matter will receive special
attention, as It Is the desire of the mem
bers of the Board to enlarge the City
Park, it being the most valuable In the
city at this time, and very crowded in
the Summer season.
The Park Board was in session for
nearly three hours, with Dr. J. R. Wilson
presiding. Sixteen people, representing
various tracts of land, were on hand to
state the prices desired by the owners.
There were also several offers by mail,
but no options were to be had on these,
so at the meeting next Monday the Board
wishes to see all who have not yet
granted options on their property.
Owing to the fact that the number of
acres represented In the Individual plots
was not given, the Board was unable to
figure out the prices asked on that basis,
and it Is not yet known whether the
rates asked are reasonable, although It Is
thought some of them are quite so. How
ever, it is thought that some offers are
hifrh. These questions will be decided
when the acreage is figured out. If the
Board decides to take these pieces of
land. It will make recommendation to
the City Council, which has the authority
to make the final deals. It Is the in
tention of the Board to make purchases
an rapidly as possible with the first $000,
0i:0 realised from the recent sale of bonds,
and when this Is expended, to ask the
Council to sell the remaining $300,000 Issue
for the Earn purpose.
JAPAN REDUCES EXPENSES
Xinetecn Millions Clipped From
Both Army and Xavy Budgets.
VICTORIA, Jan. 8. The Japanese
burget. communicated to the Diet at To
kio on December 18, a few days before
the Kaga Maru sailed, shows that the
total revenue Is estimated at $2o8.100,
397.50 of which $235,333,985 is ordinary
revenue, the extraordinary revenue of
$22,766,412.50 Including ordinary income
of over $17,000,000 and a balance of
slightly over $5,000,000. The expenditure
is estimated at the gross total of the
revenue with $200,456,051 for ordinary ex
penditure and $57,244,340.50 extraordinary
expenditure.
This budget differs from the summary
previously submitted as cabled from
Tokio, the revised summary as sub
mitted to the Diet showing a decrease of
$460,000 In revenue and expenditure. The
programme of public works proposed a
total outlay for 11 years exceeding $21S.
500,000. It has been proposed to dis
burse 90 per cent of this up to 1915-16,
especially $42,000,000 in the 1911-12 year,
but the Katsura cabinet has decided to
postpone public works amounting to $84,
000.000 for six years from the coming
fiscal year, the army suffering to rhe
extent of over $18,500,000 and the navy
$l!t. 000.000.
Excepting $1,000,000 Formosan public
works bonds, no flotation of public bonds
is to be made. A loan of $10,000,000 will
be provided with the bureau from spe
cial accounts without. It is anticipated,
injuring economical circles, and provi
sion will be made next year to redeem
$25,000,000 worth of public bonds.
LATE CATCH SALMON EGGS
Hatchery at Wallowa Takes 47,000
Eggs First AVeek in Year.
M'AULISTBR. Or., Jan. 8. (Special.)
An unusually late catch of salmon eggs
was taken at the Wallowa fish hatchery
here Saturday and Sunday, when 47.0UO
eggs were secured. The fish were sllver
sids and were caught with grab hooks.
So far as known no eggs have been
taken at the Wallowa hatchery later than
November. This makes the catch of last
week all the more remarkable to the
hatcherymen, especially when the catch
of 19u7-08, amounting to 91,000 eggs. Is
taken into consideration. Previous to
last week's catch, 1,240,000 eggs had been
taken at the hatcher-.
Superintendent Bliss J. Thorn says that
the fish have been lying In the deep water
above the dam until last week when the
Ice which covered the river broke up and
allowed the fish to come down to the
shallow water where he discovered them
spawning. There are still a number of
the fish In the river about to spawn and
It Is expected that about 60.000 more
eggs will be taken in the next few
days.

salvage on account of services rendered
the steamship San Pedro In connection
with the Columbia disaster In July,
1907. Of this amount $1000 will ga to the

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its tssociated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man " doesn't feel just right,"
B. . II I t .U!
when ne aoesn i siecp wen, nas an uKuumuuiuni
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It cures diseases ot the stomach and other
organs ot digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood.
Invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH aXD STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.

may thereby make a little bigger profit.. Ingredients printed on wrapper.
