"Senator Stone. I have traveled a great
deal and can fully appreciate the treat

The Senator eald he Ijad given Brown
an order for some lunch and also for a
drtnk. The latter waa not brought as he
requested and he sent Brown back to
correct his mistake. Still the order was

on investigation waiting In the kitchen
after all other guests had been served
and had finished eating.
The fellow appeared." said the Sena
tor, "and I uttered remarks calculated
to make him sit up and take notice. I
was angry at being made to wait so long,
and. when 1 reprimanded the waiter, he
told me to wait my turn and then I
-would be served. I saw the food was
cooked and getting cold.
" 'You black dog.' I said, "you are try
ing to show your resentment.' Then I
reached over and slapped him on the
fare."

f-rone of Missouri Says He Is Going
to Make Trouble.
WASHINGTON. July . Senator
Store was fighting mad when he reached
Washington from Baltimore yesterday
afternoon after his encounter with a
negro waiter on the Pennsylvania Rail
road. He remarked that "the Pennsyl
vania Rallrood would have tall explain
ing to do."
"I told the negro who watted on me
to bring me a Iamb chop and some
Voi'.cd eggs." said Senator Stone, "and
then I cal'ed him hjivk and ordered him
to bring me a drink of Scotch whisky
and a larg tumblerful of water.
"He brought the w hisky In a .small
plasa. and with It he brought another
mall glass containing soma water. I
called him back to bring me a large
glass of water. I spoke sharply to him.
He came back In a little while with a
large glass and a chunk of Ice in It, but
no water.
"Everyone else In the car was served
nd had finished eating, hut there was no
sign of my food. I walked back to the
kitchen and asked the cook why I was
not being served. He pointed to my
lunch, which was all cooked, waiting for
the waiter. That gentleman put in an
appearance, and I uttered remarks cal
culated to make him sit up and take
rotioe. lie started to answer me back.
You black dog." said I. 'you're trying to
show your resentment.' Then 1 reached
over and slapped his face. A fresh young
person, who Introduced himself as the
Pullman port-r. happened along In a lit
tle while and asked me what I meant
by creating trouble. That made me mad
der still, and I told him a few things.
He said he'd 'show me.' When the train
got to Baltimore two special officers
came up to my seat accompanied by tha
Vigger. The nisner formally Identified
n.e. and I was placed under arrest.
"They sent in a telephone call for tha
Black Maria. I started to tell one of
the policemen that 1 could not be arrest
ed for assault, but he knew as much
about constitutional rights as a hog about
the doxology. I had the extreme pleas
ure of ri.img to the police station in a
patrol wagon with the negro.
"I told them who I was at the police
station, and I offered them cash bail,
but it would not go. Then I tried to get
Senator Rayner on the telephone, but he
was not home. A cell loomed before me.
but the police lieutenant finally got per
mission from someone over the tele
phone to release me on my own recog
nisance. MANY UNIQUE BONES FOUND
California Asphalt Beds Prove
Mine of Scientific Worth.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. July JS.-The
Academy of Science yesterday asked the
Oty Council for an appropriation of ISOO
to be used In developing a deposit of
I - - E
bones of antediluvian animals In the
phalt beds of Hollywood. Work Is now
being carried on there by the University
of California, the Universities of Southern
California, the Los Angeles High School
and the Los Angeles Academy of Sciences,
each Institution having an allotment of
land 50 feet square.
The tract In which the bones lie com
prises about five acres. Already there
have been exhumed complete skeletons
of a giant sloth, an animal almost as big
as a streetcar; several sabre-toothed
tigers, a prehistoric lion of the African
type, but larger: a giant camel, three spe
cies of prehistoric wolves, a horse that
seems to have been larger than any that
exists today, giant eagles and condors, a
large number of miscellaneous rodents, a
small prehistoric cat, the skull of a bird
larger than an ostrich, and portions of
elephant skeletons.
The greatest find was the skull of an
extinct species of buffalo or prehistoric
ox. There Is not another like It In the

LONGSHOREMEN ARE POLITE
Suffragettes F,nd Decency Where
They Do Not Expect It.
NEW YORK. July IS. The band of
enthusiastic suffragettes who have met
hostility and ruffianism at most of their
street meetings In this city, have found
their most respectful listeners among the
longshoremen on the waterfront. More
than BOO longshoremen paid strict atten
tion to the women speakers, applauded
them and thanked them when they had
finished, although many said they could
not agree with their arguments. As a
contrast with this orderly meeting, the
women were hooted in Wall street, where
ticker-tape was thrown at them, and in
other parts of the city where there Is
supposed to be more refinement than
along the docks, they have been the vic
tims of ridicule and ruffianism.

ELECTION IN NOVEMBER
SUCCESSOR TO CCSIIMAX
VXTIL IjATE FALL.
Governor Hay, of Washington, Is Not
Going to Call Special Election
for Three Months.
SEATTLE. Wash.. July 28. (Spe
cial.) "Tuesday. November t. Is the
date on which the electors of the sec
cond Congressional DisSrlct will be
called upon to select a successor to
tlie late Francis W. Cushman." said
Governor M. E. Hay today.
The question was put to him flatly:
"When do you propose to issue a call
for the special election?"
His answer was: "When the Legis
lature convenes."
Continuing-, he said: "I want to con
sult with the members of the Legis
lature from the Second District, and
with the leaders of the party, before
I Issue the call for the election. I think
that the Legislature, perhaps, should
pass a bill providing the manner of
nominating candidates for the position,
but whatever course is provided the
call when issued will be for Novem
ber .
There Is sua vacauity for an Im
mediate election. In fact, I do not
think It would be wise to have an early
election because the farmers, the lum
bermen, the fishermen and others are
now in their busiest season."
"Is not the Second Congressional
District deprived of representation by
the failure to have an election?" was
"Certainly not." said the Governor.
"We have our two United States Sen
ators and two Representatives, who
are fully able to look after the In
terests of the Second District, which
are those of the whole state."
"What I am trying to do is to meet
the wishes and desires of the majority
of people in the Second District. Per
sonally or politically the calling or not
calling of an early election makes no
difference to me. So far as I am con
cerned, there is no politics In the mat
ter at all. But my conversations with
a number of residents of the Second
District have convinced me Jhat an
early election would be unwise."

and Sunday night. The up-river seines
are doing fairly well, and the Bakers
Bav traps are making good catches,
but with the gillnetters in the lower
harbor the take is small. However,
there is a general feeling that other

ARE ALLIED IN FIGHT
riXCHOT AXD NEWELL BOTH
QUARREL WITH BALLIXGER.
Forest Chief Has Advantage and
Can Help Newell, Who Has
Friends In Congress. .
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July S8 Gifford Plnchot, Chief of
the Forestry Service, and F. H. Newell,
Director of the Reclamation Service, are
equally aware that Secretary Balllnger
Is anxious fo force them out of the Fed
eral service, or at least reduce them from
their present positions of power to places
less Important and less influential. But
they are assuming indifferent attitudes
toward the Secretary of the Interior. Mr.
Pinchot has donned his warpaint and
feathers and Intends to fight; Newell has
assumed a passive attitude and will
await a decision by the President, who
is the final arbiter.
In the case of Mr. Pinchot If is a fight
between one department and another; :n
the case of Mr. Newell, it is a row be
tween the head of a department and the
head of a bureau in that department.
Mr Pinchot, therefore. Is perhaps in bet
ter position to wage war upon Mr. Bait-
inger than is his friend of the Reclama
tion Service. Yet it is contemplated that
Mr. Pinchot In carrying forward his
fight in his own defense, will also, to some
extent, fight for Mr. Newell as well,
fo- there is a bond of long standing
friendship between the two officials
under fire, and Mr. Pinchot would
protest loudly against any step that
would lessen the power and authority of
Mr. Newell.
While Mr. Newell himself remains in
active, some of , his friends, especially
in Congress, have gone info the fight
for him, and are perhaps doing all that
Mr. Newell himself could do if he were
Inclined to follow the Pinchot tactics.
Mr. Newell has friends as well as ene
mies In the Senate ad House, and up to
the present time the friends have been
much more vigorous in supporting him
than have his enemies in opposing him.
ALLEGED MURDERER HELD
Man Identified on Summit of Moun
tain as Slayer of Another.
DENVER, July 28. Roy Blake, a
traveling photographer known as
"Blondie Blake," was arrested yester
day in Clear Creek 'County and Is be
ing held until an officer arrives from
Belleville, 111., to take him to that city

nies that he Is the murderer of Waltz,
and asserts that he has never been In
the East.
JAP GAMBLERS IN RUSSIA
Followers of "Sport of Kings" Seek
Refuge In Czar's Domains.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 28. A dis
patch from Vladivostok declares that
on account of the closing of the bet
ting In Japan, many Japanese race fol
lowers have arrived to conduct betting
on the Vladivostok racetrack. Eighty
two Japanese horses also have arrived
here.
The anti-gambling crusade which
swept over Japan late last year caused
the closing of IS tracks, and left hun
dreds of high-class horses stranded. A
tremendous effort was made by the
racetrack element to induce the Japa
nese governmen to retract and permit
betting upon the tracks, but Premier
Katsura held firm, 4nd the horse
owners decided to ship their horses to
Vladivostok, where betting Is still al
lowed. Trunks, suitcases and bags. Largest
variety at Harris Trunk Co.
