BOXERS PUT UP
TWO FAST BOUTS
O'Keefe-Brooks Go Before

Opening Smoker.
NO OBJECTION IS RAISED

ler and Harrison Are Very
Evenly patched Pair.
BT W. J. PETRAIN.
Despite ths? antagonism displayed
against boxing exhibition, the Rose
City Athletic Club staged its programme
as advertised, and the consensus of
opinion expressed by all who saw the
O'Keefe-Brooks (Brown) and the Sealer-Harrison
bouts at the Exposition
TlPk last night voted It a success. No
Interference was suffered from the po
lice, for the big squad of bluecoals pres
ent, under the command of Police Ser
geant Cole, found hothing objectionable
In the sport furnished, and the officer
congratulated Referee Grant on the de
cency of the matches.
Both bouts were highly interesting.
Probably the most exciting of the two
was the exhibition given by Jack
O'Keefe. of Denver, and Freddie Brooks,
who claims Portland as his home, but
who is better known here as Chester
Brown, of Seattle. These two boys gave
" a rattling good exhibition bout, which
pleased the large gathering of club
members immensely. Following the
announcement that the bouts would be
staged strictly on their merits ami that
neither contestant in any match would
be favored by a decision, the O'Keefe
Brooks go. as well as the exhibition
given by -Kid Scaler and Young Harri
son, were left to the spectators to de
cide for themselves.
Crowd Entirely Satisfied.
That the exhibitions are popular was
plainly evident by a glance over the
audience seated about the ringside, for
e. number of prominent people of Port
land have joined the Rose City Athletic
Club. .Last night they were satisfied in
every particular. Nothing objectionable
coti'd be found with either of the main
events, for the boys showed plainly that
they were competent boxers and could
handle themselves without fear of in
jury. Both the O Keefe-BTOoks and the
ScaHr-HarrlPon events were scientific ex
hibitions. The most exciting bout of the two was
hat between O'Keefe an3 Brooks,
though the Sealer-Harrison event was
but little shy of merit whn compared
with the other. O'Keefe and Brooks were
matched to weigh In at less than 154
pounds, and when the two mounted the
scales at 3 o'clock yesterday, O'Keefe
just tipped the beam, while Brooks did
not raise the lever.
May Eight 20 Rounds
When they entered the ring both ap
peared in tle pink of coi.dltion and as
soon as they commenced sparring it was
apparent that a good match would re
sult. O'Jeefe possesses a wicked left
which he -used throughout, but Brooks
showed himself to b game and the equal
of the other. Just how a matrh between
the two would result if it were to go 20
rounds or longer is problematical, and
the managers of the two lads are talk
ing of arranging for siK-h a bout to take
place, at Sn Franfisco about Christmas
time.
In the drst three rounds last night
O'Keefe senmed to have the better of his
opponent, but after that Brooks kept
gaining and at the end there was little
to pick between them. A better matched
pair could hardly be secured.
In the first round of this bout the crowd
got a taste of the real article for a mo
ment. It occurred after the boy had
been sparring in a lively manner for
about one minute, when O'Keefe caught
Brooks a swinging clip to the chin, and
the former Seattle lad was off his bal
ance and fetl to the mat. It looked like
a clean knockout, but Brooks leaped to
bis feet iastantly and was sparring clev
erly, which immediately set at rest any
idea that he was hurt In the least. Brooks
wore a confident smile all the time, and
O'Keefe kept a businesslike air about him
which caused his opponent to be wary
at all times.
In countering and blocking " In the
clinches each lad was clever, though they
were more Inclined to the open style of
boxing. In the second and third rounds
Brooks also went to the floor, but in
each instance it fa's plainly due to a
slip, and after that rosin was used on
bis shoes to -better advantage and neither
lad went down again. Referee Grant's
announcement that there would be no
decision was greeted with approval by
the spectators.
Scaler Better at Start.
t
. Kid Scaler and Toung Harrison were
then introduced and the little chaps gave
a lively exhibition from the start. Harrl
, son. who hails from San Francisco,
' seenred somewhat heavier than Scaler,
though the latter offset whatever ad
vantage this might have meant by hav
ing a longer reach. These two lads, who
met at 130 pounds, contributed an Inter
esting exhibition of close fighting. Very
few blows were sent to the head by eith
er, and not a drop of blood or a mark of
any kind appeared on either at the end
of the ten rounds. The exertion seemed
to tell a trifle on the- wind of both
boys, but otherwise they were as fit as
when they entered the ring.
The cleancut manner In which last
night's bouts were presented may mean
that less objection to boxing exhibitions
will be offered. Officers of the club hope
to stage another set of exhibitions in th
near future, and if successful, the mem
bers of the "club will be afforded some
classy bouts during the Winter. Last
night If any of the Municipal Leafrue
were present, they" offered no objection
to the matches.
November 18 or 1 is announced as the
date of a smoker to be held by the Ore
gon Pastime Club, an organization similar
to the Rose City Club, which Is said to
have a strong following.

Large Audience Greets
Mine." Jomelii
Dutch Soprano, Assisted by llaa
Mchola, Ylollnlnt, and Mlsa Worden,
I'lanlnt, Wlna Applause In C'oncert.
asADAME JEANNE JOMELLI, of Am
It sterdam, Holland, where she was
born about 31 years ago, was the star
attraction at the Bungalow last night,
assisted bv Miss Marie Nichols, violin
ist, and Miss Magdalen Worden. piano
accompanist. AH three made good. The
theater was well filled by an audience
representing Portland's society and mu
sic circles. The event opened the series
of the Lois Steers-Wynn Coman con
certs for the season of 1909-1910, and
serves to recall the fact that Winter
nights are again upon us.. Jomelii was
most cordially welcomed, and she re
ceived nearly a dozen recalls. She
made a splendid stage picture, in a
gown of blue and silver. Her great
chest development would suggest rather
more volume of tone than she shows in
vocallsm. but the quality and satisfac
tory volume are there, and quality Is
everything. Her voice is of liquid pur
Itv. every note is steady and well
placed, and no better, -more artistic
breathing has ever taken place on any
Portland concert stage. She strikes her
notes with the. precision of a pianist
playing on Ivory keys, to which may be
added flute-like sweetness and sunny
brightness of a 'cello. Her diminuendo
Is commendable, and she doesn't sing
at fortissimo one minute and the next
drop to a nearly Inaudible whisper.
Only one number on Jomelii a pro
gramme last night was haclfneyed, but
It Is so much of a favorite here that- it
was very welcome the Gounod "Ave
Maria," with violin obligato. It was
reverently sung.
New music rather marked Jomelli's
selections, such as the aria from Mas
senet's opera "Thais." This was sung
with finfe declamation and dramatic fire.
Jomelii once coached with Massenet
and Interested him so much that -he of
fered to . coach her in opera. "Thais"
tells In grand music the story of Inci
dents In Persia at the time of Alexan
der's conquest of the royal City of Per-sepolis.-
Jomelii sang the German
words to Schubert's "Du Bist Die Ruh"
and invested'the number with the mel
ancholy beauty of the composer, but her
German accent was so soft that It sug
gested that of an English woman. Miss
Worden's song. "Longing," is a pretty
bit of imagery, and decsrlbes a love
quest, and was so much admired that It
had to fee repeated. The writer has
probably more than 300 times heard
"Annie Laurie" Bung, but never better
sung than by Jomelii last night. She
wedded the Scotch with poetic beauty
and sang the song in the way It ought
to be sung tenderly, and without any
forcing of the voice. Jomelli's encores
were: "Flowering" (Schneider), and
"Will o" the Wisp" (Spross). Her comJ
pass goes up to E In altisslmo, lt last
night she only sang one note lower, a D,
but it floated through the air with bird
like ease and perfect control.
Miss Nichols, of Boston. Mass., Is a
tall, statuesque young woman, and is a
decided blonde. She is a fine violinist,
and will be remembered for her earnest,
musicianly work, her skillful use of the
mute and for the fine sympathy which
she exhibited in her violin selections.
She was somewhat' particular about
tuning. Her encores: "Romance" (Ma
nen) a,nd "HumoTesque" (Dvorak). Miss
Worden. of New York City, was a most
artistic accompanist. '
The next concert of the Lois Steers
Wynn Coman series occurs November
11. when the-artist is George Hamlin,

stay- put and- forced the Sanders family
to forego pupp?r last night, both kettle
and pot scurrying across the stove to the
floor as oftn as they were placed over
the fire.
On the drainboard In the kitchen was
a basket of (fry. onions. Not only once
but a dozen times this basket gathered
mysterious" feet, traveled across the
drainboard and dropped to the floor. Put
back in' place It tumbled, again and again
until 5:30 o'clock when after several hours
of tumult th house of mystery became
an let.
Boy-Medium .Undismayed.
Little Ernest Harps, the lad termed a
medium and blam?d for all the havoc,
walked about the house and sw It all
undismayed. When he passed the tele
phone which repose on a inall shelf
the phone toppled and as he walked by
two chairs a foot apart they crashed
together with a resounding thud. To
keep the phone In place a chair was
braced against It. Soon thereafter the
boy coursed through the hall and both
phone and chair fell to the floor.
"Don't pick .things up, grandma,'' he
said to Mrs.- Sanders', "they will only fall
down again."
Thus from "1:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon when the first rain of the day fell
until 5:30 last night every inanimate thing
In the Marshall-street domicile, moved,
upturned, crashed or fell. Nothing was
exempt from the touch of the most odd
power and many piece of furniture were
subjected to continual moves by the un
seen hand.
Same Thing Happened Before.
Great as was the havoc. It was' not new
to the Sanders- family or the 11-year-old
who Is- said to have the peculiar power
within him. Only arirtind the corner
from their present home the Sanders ex
perienced a similar plight and were
forced to seek new quarters, their for
mer landlord, it is said, paying them a.
half month's rent to move. At 223
Seventeenth street, where they lived un
til two weeks ago, plaster jumped from
one wall to another and shot through
windows, wrecking four rooms of the
house, as well as demolishing every
breakable dish. In yesterday's strange
action the plaster of the Marshall-street
home remained intact throughout.
For every pot and . kettle in the
Sanders household there, is a strange
story, every knife and fork had Its own
experience; every piece of furniture, no
matter "how big, figured in the day's
mystery. And the boy blamed for it all is
not a yard and a, half high. He is subject
to spasms, suffering the last attack
last Sunday. .That is all his people
know about the mystifying affair, and
they express ignorance of the cause
of the odllty.- "The devil's in him,"
said his uncle. "Ernest has always
been strange, - said his grandmother.
"It was an electric storm," said the
boy's mother.
Mrs. Anne Harps, mother of the mystery-filled
lad, bases 'her theory of an
electric storm on a battery that was
left In the house her father and
mother occupy. Then, too, she points
to the unused electric wires In. the
house, which, she intimates, might have
been filled with storm currents and dis
tributed wreck in every room of the
house. But, the furniture moved and
chairs and utensils rattled at points
far from the battery and In nooks
There there are no wires.
" Six People In House.
Six people occupy the house of mystery.
These are Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Sanders,
grandparents of little Ernest Harps, their
two sons. Harry and Frank, a nephew.
Scott Perry and Ernest Harps. Harry
Sandeas is- employed in the Southern Pa
cific Railway freight sheds. Frank San
ders is a Janitor of the Merchants' Na
tional Bank and Scott Perry is a clerk
with the Allen Drug Company at Six
teenth and Marshall streets, directly
across the street from the mysterious
domicile. Mrs. Annie Harps, "mother of
the alleged boy medium, is housekeeper
of the Valley Hotel, at 232',-i Main street
and George R. Perry, a brother of Mrs.
Sanders, is an elevator man in the Fen-
ton building.
Shortly after 1:30 o'clock yesterday the
first disturbance in the .Sanders house
was noticed. A sugar bdwl turned over
on the table and little Ernest Harps
called his grandmother's attention to)
it. Only Mr. and Mrs. Sanders and the
littie bov were in the house at the time.
Mrs. Sanders righted the sugar bowl and
in an instant things about .the house
began to move fast and furiously, the
big table in the dining-room being first
to stand on edge. The boy followed 'his
grandmother throughout the house dur
ing the turmoil.
Mrs. Sanders telephoned to her nephew,
Scott Perry, in the drug store across
the street, and he with Jerry Husley,
also a drug store employe, rushed to
the house.
"I saw a chair," said Perry. "rise
right up in the air and fall to the floor
after staying In midair for a second.
Then the teapot ran off the stove and
knives and forks from all over dropped
and made an awful racket. Nobody was
near any of the things that moved, but
the boy was around all the time."
"The chair I saw move." said tlurley.
"Juanped into the air, stayed there and
tumbled on its side."
In less than half an hour the house
was full of curious iJeopie and a crowd
outside jostled for entrance but was
restrained by the owner of the house,
R. Sutherland, an aged man who lives
next door. He was one of the first on
the scene and saw a chair jump up and
down three times and hearing a noise
bohind him turned to see the sewing,
machine topple. Mr. Sutherland's daugh
ter saw a chair rise in the air and
quiver. She dasfied out of the house
pell-melh .
Carpo Man Frightened.
Injecting humor into the strange af
fair, a man from a local department
store called to measure the parlor for
carpet and seeing chairs gyrate. he
rushed from the house. Then a Salva-

saw a table topple unaided and he

After an hour quiet reigned for a time
and in another hour the mysterious antics
of the furniture were resumed, continuing
until 2:50 o'clock, when the clock on the
wall swayed, turned its face to the wall
and stopped.
An Oregouian reporter on the scene
within an ."hour after the mystery was
reported saw a chair lean back by itself
and as he turned In surprise several
knives ar.d a tin plate scurried off the
drainboard to the floor.
Dan Williams, one of the curious on
lookers, saw the teapot rush off the stove
to the floor and Jess Churchley, of ths
Churchley Wood & Coal Company, at
Thirteenth and Marshall streets, saw a
sofa rise up on end and fall. This was
the same sofa that turned on itsside
earlier in 'the day. .
All who witnessed the unique twists
and turns of the furniture and fillings .of
the hduse were unanimous in saying that
little Ernest Harps was present during
the .phenomena. Stranger still, the boy
walked out to the porch after the first
shakeup, and as he gazed across the
street a pile of slabwood in the rear' of
the Allen Company's drug store col
lapsed." The wood was evenly piled arid
In two stacks.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanders are not spirit
ualists and condemn rather than lead to
belief in the occult.
Cading Tells of Wonders.
The story told .by Charles Cading of 210
Sixteenth street is interesting, but throws
no mora light on the facts than has
already been given.
Mr. Cading Is an elderly German who
was employed by R. Deutsch to repair
the walls in the house formerly occupied
by the Sanders family and from which
they mov-;d two weeks ago at the re
quest of the owner. '
"The plaster had come off the walls
In great chunks' (indicating with his
arms an area of several square feet)
and- not its particle of the plaster had
fallen onto the floor. The entire piece
had been carried across the room and
hurled against the opposite wall. Many
smaller chunks of plaster were hurled
higher on th? opposite wall than the
hole from which the piece was" taken.
Several pieces of the plaster wera thrown
violently across the room, and dashed
through the window, breaking four panes
of class which I m?nd?d. Not one bit
of debris was on the floor. In each instance-the
broken pieces had been hurled
across the room."
"How do you account for the condi
tion?" was asked Mr. Ceding.
Saving a characteristic shrug of his
shoulders the old man gave no answer.
"I went over to the Sanders- home to
day." he said. "I was working near
there when the neighbors'. heard the com
motion and Investigated. I went right in
the house. The family did not seem
frightened. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders and
their grandson were in the rear rooms.
I myself saw the chairs turning upside
down, and a boiler of water setting on
the stove Began to rise slowly and turned
over onto the floor, ppiHing the water."
This statement was later verified by
the Sanders family.
Dishes Swept Off Sink.
"I saw the dishes swept off the sink
In great piles and break into millions
of small pieces." continued Mr. Cading,
"and great heavy articles of furniture
moving about."
Mr. Cading bears an excellent reputa
tion in his neighborhood and his veracity
and honesty are unquestioned. "
Walking up and down Marshall street
In front of the house. Patrolman Rudolph
was taxed every minute to keep back
the crowds that congregated. People by
the hundreds loitered about-the place all
day to get a peep at the wonders within.
In the early afternoon no barriers were
erected against the curious and a con
tinual stream of people coursed through
the housed many of them witnessing the
odd moves of furniture, light and bulky.
None of the beds in the house moved an
lota, but hardly any other inanimate
thing remained in repose. - But one pic
ture stayed hung, the others' either
crashed to the floor or swung like pen
dulums on their wires.
The basement of the house was not
disturbed and none of . the houses ad
joining the mysterious domicile or in Its
vicinity was Jarred in the least.
Family Came Here Recently.'
The Sanders family came to Portland
recently from Saxon, Iron County. Wis.,
and have occupied, as far as Is known,
only two houses in Portland, the one
visited by the strange phenomena yes
terday and the house around the corner
at 223 Seventeeth street.
"I have' seen strange things." said R.
Sutherland, owner of the house of mys
tery, "but what I saw today astounded
me. A chair Jumped up and down three
times right In my sight and I heard the
sewing machine tumble, ftlr. Perry
blames the little boy and ,1 guess he is
right. Perry came over to my house
tonight as pale, as a' ghost and explained
the mystifying things to me a best he
could. 'It's , the boy,' he sasid, 'the
devil's In him.' Perry promised to have,
the boy examined -and put out of the
way. if he does that they can stay in
my house as they'are quiet people. But
-I will not let them stay there with that
boy."
"I can't explain It." said G. R. Perry,
uncle of Ernest Harps. last night. "All
I know is that the devil is in the boy.
He is a medium and so full of electricity
or whatever you may call it that his
presence! sets things moving. I noticed
that today". I saw two1 chairs clap to
gether as quick as a flash when he
passed them and the telephone dropped
as he. walked by through the hall.- But
a funny thing about it is he did not have
to be close as things fell and crashed
and ran around upstairs when the boy
was downstairs. Almost the same thins
happened before In the other house but
the wreck was confined to plaster, win
dows and dishes. It's puzzling to ra
but I can't dei what I saw with my
own eyes."

A PAIR
Three Fine Bungalows for Sale
SEPARATELY OR AS A WHOLE
Or Will Rent Very Reasonably to Small Family
f-iZ ""j. srfitr i i . - ljhsi! I v
I own three California bungalows. They are on the corner of Third and Wood streets; the above is a
photograph 6f them.. I came back from Seattle six weeks ago and thought I had disposed of them. I re
ceived quite a substantial payment and gave an option for the sale of the property until October 25th. Cir
cumstances over which this buyer had no control compelled him to forfeit his deposit .and relinquish the
option. I cannot look after this property myself. I prefer to sell it. I don't need money so much as hav
ing the property off my hands. I will sell the three houses in one parcel, or I will sell them separately. The
future of this property is greater than any in Portland. . The bridge now building np the river will take the
railroad track off the street, and then the ots alone will be worth more than $100 a front foot. I will take
$7000 for the property for the three houses; I will take $1000 cash and the balance in monthly or semi
annual payments, giving, say, four or five years' time to pay out. I will charge 6 per cent interest. I have
made prices on the three houses of $1950, $2275 and $2875, respectively, and will sell to any responsible
buyer on a plan like paying rent. I'll even rent one or all of the houses to any careful and responsible per
son ($15 or $18 or $20 a month) who may not be able to decide off-hand whether he'll like the place or not.
I'll even allow toward payment of one or all of the houses a liberal portion of the option mdney I have re
ceived I mean business. Remember, they are on the West Side, within 20 minutes' walk from the heart of
town You pay no carfare, and you wait for no bridges when you live on the West Side. The view is splen

fessor Howe's classes during ordinary
class discussion," continued the preacher,
but if I hear of anything like his recent
lecture coming up, I shall certainly be
on hand again. 1 know 1 have made ene
mies of some of the teachers' friends by
what I - said last Sunday frflm the pulpit,
but when I do not like a man's doctrines
I cannot help being sarcastic. ; I did not
mean to reflect on him personally, as I
consider him a charming man to meet
and talk to socially."
Students at the University of Oregon
showed tonight, however, that they do
not consider the principles as to whether
there shall be free religious speech or
none on the .college campus, raised by the
preacher's attack, as a closed incident at
all. Members of the recently-formed free
religious society met in Deady Hall, one
of- the college buildings, tonight, and
elected Ben H. Williams, president of the
student-body, as their . president, and"
Rurns Powell, of Monmouth, secretary.
The society arranged ta meet every Fri
day night. It Is planned to ask Professor
Howe to address the society, tive mem
bers of which are co-eds, at an early
date. . "
