President Says Ieetls of Urrat Con
querors Should Keduce Size of
Modern Heads Cliamplain
Valley Our Belgium.
BLT.F POINT, X. T.. July . With the
arrival of President Taft, of Ambassador
Jusserand of France, of Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain, of Secretary of
War Dickinson and of Admiral Uriu of
Japan, the celebration of the 300th anni
versary of the discovery of Lake Cham
plain, which had been confined during the
past two days to the States of New York
and Vermont, today took on an interna
tional scope and a world-wide Interest.
Ambassadors Jusserand and Bryce and
President Taft all committed their re
spective countries to policies of peace
and. in the shadow of an old fortress
that had witnessed some of the bloodiest
battles in history, they expressed the hope
that never afrain would the peace among
the frreat nations of the world be inter
rupted by a war.
Reminders of Bloody Fights.
The President and Ambassadors were
shown through the historic ruins of "Old
n. as the natives call Fort Ticonderoga,
which is now in course of restoration.
Some of the old cannon were in place to
day and hundreds of rustic relics were on
view. Some of these were reminders of
the days of Indian conflicts; others were
links of history leading back to the bloody
flffhta of Montcalm. Abercromble and Am.
herst. to the famous taking of the place
by 83 American colonists under Ethan
Allen and the naval battles that helped
make famous the waters of the lake.
Below the fort on the placid waters of the
lake, and set among a flotilla of modern
naval vessels of the smaller classes, was
a replica of the Don de Dleu, the little
craft of Samuel Champlaln, the discoverer
of the lake.
Never Again Will Fight.
The President tonight was the guest at
dinner of Walter Witherbee on the lat
ters houseboat, which is anchored In the
lake off this point. Tomorrow the scene
of the celebration shifts to Plattsburg.
where the President again will make a
brief address and where Senator Root
will deliver an historical oration.
M. Jusserand in his speech this after
noon was most felicitous in his expres
sion of peace and good will toward Amer
ica, toward Great Britain and toward, all
the world. Mr. Bryce said:
"Not until I visited the. old fort yonder
did I realize how many memories cluster
about Its ruins. But I cannot but be
lieve that its creator meant this beautiful
spot for something else than fighting and
I trust it will never see fighting again."
Taft's Tribute to Discoverers.
Mr. Taft, speaking next, also took up
the theme of peace. He said:
A" I at here listening to the Interesting
remarks of the AmbiMAdor from Prance
and the Ambassador from England I could
not but congratulate the United States on
the Implied compliment that these two
countries had paid her by sending here as
the personal representatives of their re
spective chief executives men so distin
guished in literature, in hiBtory, In states
manship and In diplomacy.
Champlaln was a man whom all nations
honor, and his character brings out in the
strongest way those wonderful qualities
shown In the mth, 16th and 17th centuries
by Spaniards, Englishmen. Frenchmen and
Portuguese, who braved the terrors of the
ea and carried the standard of civiliza
tion Into the farthest forests and into the
dangers of the most distant tropica
Reduce Swelling of Heads.
I think It Is well for us to go back
through this history of all nations in order
that our heads, a little swelled with mod
ern progress, may be diminished by the
proper appreciation of what was done by
nations before us, under conditions that
seemed to limit the possibility of human
achievement.
There were Montcalm and Wolfe, two
great Christians, back to whom you trace
the whole history of lower Canada. It Is
true- that Wolfe conquered Montcalm on the
Plains of Abraham, but there Is still In all
the region of lower Canada a population
purely French, a population Industrious,
Ood-fearlng and loyal to the nag under
which they live. That fact Is a compli
ment, not only to the far-seeing statesman
ship of the English colonial governors, but
It is a compliment to the present Indus
trial and democratic virtues of the French
nation.
Battle Ground of Nations.
This valley. In the 300 years since It was
discovered by Champlaln. has furnished al
most as much of a battle-ground for the
three nations and the Indians, who were on
all sides, as Belgium In Europe, and one
does not have to look far for the reason.
The truth Is that it was the only passage
o,Sy . Vd her,e. ?ere fouKht the battles for
Boo ars. which we now say are never to
rrcur. I echo and emphasize the state
ments of the ambassadors and repeat their
prayer that never again may this great val
ley be given a name In history bv reason of
Its being the seat of bloody war.
The literary programme included
brief addresses by Governor Hughes
and Governor Prouty, an historical ad
dress. "The Story of Lake Champlain "
by Dr. Hamilton W. Mable, of New
York, and an original ballad entitled
Tlconderoga." by Percy MacKaye, of
Cornish. N. H.
The Indian pageants were given dur
ing the afternoon and evening.

VESSEL IS LOST?
Missionary Schooner Abler
Last Seen During Gale.
CARRIED SCORE OF PEOPLE
AVas Bound From Seattle to Arctic
Waters, and Is Reported Miss
ing by Vessel Returning
From Northern Regions.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. The
schooner Monterey, Captain Anderson,
arriving here today from Kuskokwim,
Alaska, reports the possible loss of thy
missionary schooner J. F, Abler and a
score of lives. The Abler sailed from
Seattle, June 9. with a crew of eight men
and nine passengers, among them being
James Nutter, of Alameda.
When the Monterey arrived at Bethel,
to which place the Abler was bound. Cap
tain Anderson was informed by Indian
trappers that the missionary vessel had
last been seen struggling in a heavy
storm,- some distance out at sea. The
Monterey, with another small craft from
the station, started out to search for the
missing schooner, sailing for some dis
tance up and down the coast, but saw
no sign of the Abler. Captain Anderson
says it is possible that the missing ves
sel has taken refuge at Bristol Bay.
SHIPPING MEN DOUBT REPORT
Say Abler Is Stout Craft and Has
Passeil Through Many Storms.
SEATTLE, July 6. The schooner P. J.
Abler sailed from Seattle June 9, with
nine passengers and a crew of eight men
under Captain Edward A. Born, of this
city. When Mrs. Born was told this
afternoon of the report of the Abler's
peril she said she felt no alarm, for the
ship was stout and her husband was a
skilful navigator and knew the northern
waters well.
Shipping men do not think the Abler
Is lost. She was on her way north to act
as a tender to the ship Elwell, which
was sent by the United States Govern
ment with 3000 tons of supplies for the
scattered Government schools along the
Alaska Coast. The Elwell cannot de
liver the supplies on account of there
being no deep water landings and the
Abler Is to take the goods from the Blwell
to shore. The passengers were Mr. and
Mrs. Ellis and three men named Wyman,
Hosmer- and Graham, all bound for the
Kusqulm River gold diggings.
The Abler was under charter to the
United States-Alaska School Bureau,
which refuses to believe she is lost.
Among the passengers was Mrs. Anna
C. Rehmel, of Washington, la., a Gov
ernment teacher. The Abler was built
for the rough seas of the North, was
noted as a good sailer, and on one oc
casion when a Russian cruiser dared
not venture to cross Behrlng Sea on ac
count of bad weather, the Abler took the
warship's mail and passengers and made
the voyage.
WILL NOT AID IMMIGRANTS
Glassworkers Oppose Government's
Sending Them West.
NEW YORK, July 6. At the annual
convention of the Flint Glassworkers'
Union of North America in Brooklyn to
day a communication was received from
the National Liberal Immigration League,
urging the convention to persuade the
National Government to furnish free
transportation westward for in-coming
aliens, thereby relieving the congestion of
labor in Eastern cities.
Delegates from the West opposed the
plan, on the ground that Western cities
are already sufficiently occupied with the
problem of caring for their unemployed
and do not desire to be official dumping
grounds for unskilled alien labor.

In Spite of Increase, However, Rec

Former Total Killed.
CHICAGO, July 6. (Special.) Revised !
reports of the harvest of death and in
juries due to the three-days' celebration
of the National birthday show the toll Is
heavy, but is still less than one-half the
number killed last year. Reports to date
show 76 dead and 277-4 injured, and returns
from picnics and other small celebrations
In remote places will likely be accom
panied with casualty lists.
The number of Injured is 6till less than
one-half the number last year, and the.
fire loss shows marked improvement over

of the entire country.

400 INJURED AT PITTSBURG
Smoky City Pays Heavy Toll to So
Called Patriotism. '
PITTSBURG, July 6. The total fire loss,
according to the underwriters of Pitts
burg, due to the Independence day cele
bration, is estimated today at $50,000. This
does not include losses less than $100.
The death list from accidents by ex
ploding fireworks remains at one. An
infant was killed while the mother was
watching a pyrotechnlcal display at
Schenley Park. A skyrocket struck the
baby on the head, fracturing its skull.
The baby died 10 minutes later.
The list of injured in and about Pitts
burg will total close to 400. Of this num
ber there may be several deaths. All pre
vious records in the number of passengers
hauled by the street railway companies
were broken yesterday.
The hair-raising Impromptu feat of an
ironworker who climbed out on the nar
row thread cable that swung 200 feet high
between the Frlck building and the Court
house tower, when the largest flag in the
world refused to unfurl, caused a small
panic among the hundreds of watchers be
low. As the ironworker slid and swung
out over the street in his effort to break
the flag to the wind, several women
fainted.
MATCH jSJH BREAK
BERG AND YOUSIFF MEET ON
EQUAL TERMS. '
Records Show There Is Little to
Choose From Between Principals
in Friday Bout.
Jack Curley, the Seattle promoter,
who is sponsoring the big wrestling
match ,ln Exposition rink next Friday
night, telephoned last night that John
Berg, the European light heavyweight
champion, had left for Portland and
would be here today to train for his
match with Big Yousiff, the Terrible
Turk. Youslft will leave Seattle some
time today, desiring to get on the
ground early in order to get a few
whiffs of Willamette Valley ozone be
fore he goes on the canvas with the
Swede.
A comparison of the records of Berg
and Yousift is the ground for much in
teresting figuring. It took Roller an
hour and a half on each occasion to
throw the Ottoman in their two bouts
last month. Friday night, when Char
ley Olson failed to arrive in Seattle for
his bout with Roller, Berg was Induced
to go on against the big Seattle medico.
Roller had a hard time in throwing
Berg, indicating that the latter is a far
different man when working with a
pair of sound ankles beneath him. It
took Roller an hour and a half to pin
Berg's shoulders down. A strange
thing about the match was that the sec
ond bout lasted just twice as long as
the first. Ordinarily the second fall
does not take longer than 20 minutes,
and sometimes not over five. Berg last
ed one minute over an hour with Roller
the second time, which is going some.
Inasmuch as Roller outweighed Berg
about 30 pounds.
It will be seen, therefore, that Berg
and the Ottoman are so evenly
matched that a grand battle may be ex
pected. Berg is every inch a fighter,
and it will take some fast going on the
part of the Turk to throw him. Berg
will be outweighed about ten pounds,
huf h pxnprtii fn overcome that wlfli
' his speed. It has long been conceded
that Berg is one of the fastest wrestlers
in the business. His speed has enabled
him to beat a lot of good men.
While it is generally acknowledged
that the Turkish grapler is the stronger
and has a large knowledge of wrestling
science, friends of Berg figure that he
has a good chance to beat the dark
skinned bonebreaker.
Curley. who has never before visited
Portland during his long career in the
sporting world, will come down Friday
to watch the match and meet the local
sport-loving population.
