C. A. Polph. of X. P. Termini Com-
pan j. Says Property May Be Vscd
for Railroad Purposes Hill
Enterprise Is Hinted.
The purchase cf a quarter block sold
by E. J. Daly and Beno A Ballis. direct
ly opposite the main entrance of the
Union Depot, for J125.0O0. yesterday,
brines to light a number of sales made
In the last few months, and which are
believed to form the basis of an exten
sion to the holdings of the Northern Pa
cific Terminal Company, The property
recently transferred includes all that lying;
north of Hoyt street and east of Seventh
street North, right up to the lines of the
terminal site, and embraces all of four
blocks with the exception of one quarter
block located in the heart of the prop
erty. This Is the only piece not reported
as having been sold. The deals were all
handled through the office of C. K. Henry
and the Wakefield-Frfes Company and
the total consideration for the property
purchased I 25.on.
Buyers May Be "Dummies."
The property transferred is so located
that It "squares off" the comer of ihe
Terminal Company's holdings. Th
Northern Pacific Terminal Company
owns all the land In the vicinity -if
Seventh street and north of Hoyt street
to the river save that which was recently
purchased. The buying has been going
on quietly for some time and the several
purchasers are. persons from outside of j
Portland who are regarded as "dum- j
mlcs." used to cover up the purchase by
a corporation.
C. A. Dolph. president of the Northern
"Pacific Terminal Company, said last
nisht th.t th deal was not Instituted
by the terminal company and ttiat. as
far as be knew, the corporation had not
negotiated the big purchase. ' He d
mitted. however, that the property may
be used as terminal yards but expressed
doubt as to whether the purchase bad
been made at first by his corporation as
a terminal company. He refused to be
quoted as saying that it was not a ter
minal enterprise, but wished merely to
say that "the buying had not been
started with such an idea In view."
Upon- learning that negotiations for :he
Daly property had been concluded yes
terday. Mr. Dolph seemed pleased and
admitted knowing just what properties
had been bought and what had not been
secured.
Dolph Seems to Know.
Told that there was a quarter-block
still unpurchased. Mr. Do'.ph said:
"Oh. that's the Thompson property."
and his tone Indicated that that fact
made little difference. C. K. Henry i?
the agent for the Thompson estate, and
there is little doubt that the property
may be easily obtained at a fair coit.
The property purchased yesterday is
the quarter-block. 100 by 100 fe,et. located
at the southwest corner of Sixth and
Johnson streets. The consideration named
by Mr. Daiy. who. with Beno & Ballis.
was the owner of the quarter-block, was
J120.00O. Mr. Henry placed the figure
at $125,000. The property was trans
ferred to W. C. Bardsley, of Pierce Coun
ty. Wash. The deal was negotiated
through the agency of the C. K. Henry
Company and the Wakefield-Frles Com
pany. It was bought three and a half
ears ago for J55.000. The property la
improved with a frame building renting
at J650 a month. A saloon at the corner
Is rented for $305 a month.

Diplomat Attends Two Se

Educated Oriental Give6 Vp Commu
nication With Friends Beyond
traTf When Story Is Pub
lished Only Experiment.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. The
spirit world will have to worry
along hereafter without recognition
from Wu Tins Fan. Chinese Min
ister to the United States.
The diplomat was discouraged by
the publicity riven his recent Inves
tigation of the occult and the de
tailed account of his experience with
a medium Wednesday night. It was
given out at the Chinese legation
that Dr. Wu had discontinued his
inquiries into spiritualism, to which
he had been led by the Interest
shown by such men as Professor
William James, William Stead and
the sreat Italian. Lombrow.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. Taking his
first nibble at the mysteries of spiritism
last Sunday night, Minister Wu Ting
Fang, the best educated Chinaman In the
world, returned to the "mediums" last
night for a full bite. He left the "seance"
chock full of Information from the spirit
world, for through the "medium" he Is
supposed to have consulted the spirits of
the late President McKinley and his own
dead mother. And the latter talked In
real Chinese language.
Minister Wu doesn't say he is a con
vert to spiritualism. In fact, he tries to
avoid the subject entirely while talking
with newspaper men. He admits, how
ever, that he is Interested and that he
may attend other "seances" before retir
ing from his post in the near future.
His first experience occurred last Sun
day night at a public meeting, where
anonymous Chinese spirits were described
to Dr. Wu by a "trance medium." as
hovering in the distinguished diplomat's
immediate vicinity. Dr. Wu exhibited
great interest.
Takes First Nibble.
Last night' he went again, this time
to a smaller seance at a private house.
Dr. Wu refused last night to discuss his
experience or impressions. ' and even
showed solicitude lest his presence at the
seance should be the subject of news
paper mention. The woman medium who
officiated a different one this time-
brought to him messages purporting to
come from the late President McKinley,
who was an Intimate friend of Dr. Wu,
and also from the Minister's own mother.

DETROIT, Oct. 14. Detroit kept in the
race for the baseball championship by
defeating Pittsburg 5 to 4, today In a
battle full of sensational situations, and
tonight the two teams are tied with
three victories eachl The seventh and
deciding game will be played here Sat
urday. A fear-inspiring rally in the ninth in
lng by Pittsburg was stopped after one
run was scored, but three Detroit play
ers were injured in stemming the rush
of Pittsburg runs.
Tom Jones, ' the Detroit first baseman,
was the most seriously hurt. His neck
and spine were Injured in a collision
with Wilson at first base and this re
sulted in Pittsburg scoring Its rush of
that session. Charles Schmidt, the
catcher, had his right leg badly gashed
in blocking Absteln off the plate in the
final Inning.
Tom Jones Badly Injured.
The play that finished the threatening
rally of the National League champions
resulted In the injury of George Morl

steal third cn Abbatacchlo's strikeout. Tn
the same inning ' Molarity's lefw knee

of Crawford to first base. D. Jones to

The 'Pittsburg team got away in the
lead by smashing out three runs on four
successive hits off Mullin in the first

Ex-Adjutanl-Generars Affinity Ad-

Xot Love Him.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14. (Special.)
After a silence of six months, Mrs.
Florence, also called Hazel, Moore, the
reputed affinity of ex-Adjutant-General
Ortls Hamilton, of Washington, dis
claimed all responsibility for the embez-
ftj zlemeht of the J50.000' which the dashing
National Guard officer is .charged with
having squandered upon her.
"If Mr. Hamilton spent any money on
me, I did'nt see It," said Mrs. Moore,
who Is a very striking woman. "I am
tired of being blamed for his misdeeds,
and I wish it understood that I am In
no way responsible for what he did.
I have put him out of my life, and I want
to be let alone. Why. I did not know
M1". Hamilton was married until I
read in the papers of his defalcation,
and I learned for the first time that he
had a wife and children.
"Tile story that ho gave me money
and bought me a necklace costing
thousands of dollars Is absurd.
"Mr. Hamilton wu a friend of my
husband, and has known me since I
was a little girl."
She admitted Hamilton has been de
voted to her, and wr.s perhaps madly In
love with her.
"But that's no reason why I should
be in love with him. Is it?" she de
manded. She said she knew nothing whatever
of Hamilton's business matters, and
could not testify if she were sub
penaed. W.C.T.U. TO AID MURDERER

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. American
and British capitalists have about com
pleted arrangements with the Chinese
government to build a railroad from
Chin Chow Fu through Mongolian ter
ritory to Tsitsihar. a distance of about
400 miles. This fact seems to have dis
turbed the equanimity of Japan.
Published reports from Pekln Indi
cate that Japan has given China notice
that it will maintain Its right under
the two treaties concluded last month
to be consulted with respect to Man
churtan railways. Japan says it re
serves decision with regard to subse
quent action.
Will Xot Let Japan Meddle.
Among officials here it Is regarded as
doubtful If Japan will be permitted to
Interfere, without objection, in this or
other enterprises In China or Manchuria
In which Americans are Interested. The
fact that an objection to the construc
tion of the proposed Chin Chow Fu
Tsitslhar road Is hinted at by Japan is
regarded here as tending to support al
legations of monopolistic Inclinations
on the part of Japan.
Compete With Japan's Road.
The proposed railroad through Mon
golia will be about 400 miles in length
to Tsitsihar., and. If extended on the
Amur, its total leugtl) will approximate
600 miles. The fact that it will tap the
Russian Trans-Siberian road at Tsitsi
har is thought to explain the supposed
