EQUAL RIGHTS HIS CRY
.MoOedle Must Give Xorthwcstemere
Kven Break on Schedule With
Coasters and Back Team With
Unstinted Enthusiasm.
SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 25. (Special.)
D. E. Dugdale. Seattle's . baseball
magnate, when Informed of the action
of the Pacific Coast League' last night
and asked for a statement, said:
"As one of the directors of the North
western League I will say that we will
be only too glad to re-enter Portland
if we could be accorded an equal
schedule with the Coast League and
the assurance of equal rights pertain
ing to the welfare of our club. We
would not re-enter Portland unless we
had a guarantee that the Northwestern
League club would bo operated entirely
Independent of the Pacific Coast base'
ball club of Portland.
"We demand that they enter the race
for the championship with every pos
sible effort to go through without
sparing energy or capital to make the
club a success, which is necessary In
any event in every city or any league
tr warrant and command'the- confidence
of the baseball, loving public of Port
land or any other community. .
"We would not object to McCredle
if he were not affiliated with the Coast
League, but under such conditions as
the Northwestern League operated last
year we could never consent. Baseball
can not sucoeed under a' syndicate
management. It destroys the spirit
of rivalry which Is the very soul of
the game."
"There is a good deal of politics
and commercialism behind the atti
tude of the Coast League toward the
North-western in this matter," contin
ued Mr. Dugdale. "In my reply to the
Coast League people I have made plain
the conditions under which the North
western League would re-enter Port
land. Certainly in case the conditions
are compiled with and Portland is
taken back into the league, I favor
reinstating Aberdeen.
"I shall have to be shown that the
offer of the Coast League is anything
but a lemon, a piece of gallery-play,
before I am ready to agree to entering
Portland again."
DIRECTORS WILIi HAVE SAY
President Lucks Unable to Predict
. Outcome, Jle Says.
' BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Prewtdent Lucas, of the Northwestern
League, was Informed late last night of
the action of the Pacific Coast League
and made the following comment:
"I cannot make an official ntatement as
to the attitude of the Northwestern
League on the proposition, for I have no
such authority. The question ofwhether
the Northwestern League will accept
Portland and Aberdeen back In the fold
depend! entirely on the attitude of the
directors of the Seattle, Tacoma, Van
couver and Spokane clubs, which organi
sations now comprise the circuit.
"The biggest questions to be solved
relative to the return of these clubs,
without counting on the proposition be
ing received with favor by the North
western directors. Is whether Portland
can find financial backing, and where are
both clubs going to get players for the
coming season? I have been Informed by
Manager Rowland that Aberdeen had dis
posed of many of its players, and unless
these were sold provisionally. I do not
see how that club will be equipped.
"Of course. Rowland may have some
cards up his sleeve relative to these
players, and In this case he may know
better than I do about the possinHlty of
putting a team in the field. Aberdeen
is one of the gamest little towns I know
of. and the men back of the team there
arev. thorough sportsmen. As for the
future, I can make' no predictions and
will' be unable to make any statement
as to the possibility of action on the part
of the Northwestern League until I am
advised by at least three of the four di
rectors." Walter McCredle, it may be, has re
ceived important instructions from his
uncle, the Congressman, in which event
he has found it advisable to act in the
capacity of mediator in the Northwestern
League's puzzling situation.
The baseball situation on the Pacific
Coast seems to be In more of a tangle
than the war between Tex Rlckard and
Jack Gleason over the scene of the big
fight.

SPOKANE HAS HIGH HOPES
New Census Expected to Show Need
of More Congressmen.
SPOKANE, Jan. 25. (Special.) Spo
kane and two or three other counties
in eastern Washington will have a
representative in Congress following
t.iie present census and the new appor
tionment bs Congress, according to a
forecast by Arthur M. Storch, super
visor of census for the third district.
The new enumeration will allow
Washington five, and possibly six rep
resentatives, instead of three; two from
the counties east of the mountains,
says Supervisor Storch.
"The third district, in which Spokane
Is located, had a population of 18G.000
In 1900, but this has been more than
doubled in ten years and I predict a
population this census of at least 400,
000," said Mr. Storch. Spokane will
show 150,000. or close to it. The ap
portionment for representatives In Con
gress being about 200,000, there will
be two districts east of the mountains,
making Spokane the center of a dis
trict half the size of the present."
MAN CAUSES RUN ON BANK
PRESIDENT RESIGNS AND MEXI
CANS WITHDRAW MONET.
Tliough Institution Is American and
Solvent, Backers Place New
Manager in Charge.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 25. A run on the
United States Banking Company, of this
city, started an hour before the close
yesterday. Twenty accounts, aggregating
200,000 pesos, were withdrawn.
Officials In charge declare the institu
tion la solvent.
The run started when it became known
that George I. Ham, president, had re
signed. Depositors were paid in full as
fast as . checks were presented. Assur
ances were given that the Institution is
able to pay dollar for dollar.
The National Bank of Mexico and the
Bank of Montreal have placed James For
sythe, assistant manager of the Mexican
branch of the Bank of Montreal, in
charge of affairs of the United States
Banking Company.
Most of the stock of the latter is held
by Canadians!. Mr. Ham Is a Canadian
and one of the heaviest stockholders.
Since he came -to this country he is said
to have amassed a fortune of 2,500,000
pesos and Is said to have used all his
personal fortune to keep the bank from
closing its doors. He is now In a sani
tarium, suffering from the effects of over
work. The United States Banking Company Is
capitalized at 20,000,000 pesos, with de
posits amounting to 8,000,000 pesos. It
is an American Institution without gov
ernmental concessions and therefore does
not enjoy banking privileges. acc5rded
under the Mexican law, including the is
suing of currency.
It Is reported that the bank recently
borrowed 6,000.000 pesos from the Bank
of Montreal and the National Bank ol
Mexico. - -
Thi9 sim was loaned to a local corpora
tion which was unable to meet the obli
gation when it became due. . This is said
to account for the action ' of the two
banks in placing Mr. Forsythe in charge.

wealthy Wall-street stockbroker, figures
In the case. She was married at the St.
Regis Hotel, New York, June, 1905.
OFFICER SHOT IN FOOT
Drops Gun, Rullet Glancesx From
Sidewalk to Ankle.
Police Officer W. P. Courtney, one of
the old and reliable members of the
local police force, accidentally shot him
self through the right foot yesterday
morning at 1:45 o'clock.
Courtney was patrolling hia beat on the
East Side, and at the corner of Grand
and Hawthorne avenues attempted to
change his revolver from his overcoat
pocket 'to his holster. The gun clipped
from his hand and fell to the sidewalk,
there being discharged. The bullet ric
cocheted from the pavement and went
through the officer's foot near the ankle.
The police automobile removed he
wounded officer to police headquarters
from where he was taken to the office of
Dr. F. J. Ziegler. City Physician, where
the wound was dressed.
Witchcraft In India.
Allahabad Pioneer.
The belief in witchcraft is still fast
rooted In parts of India, and the un
fortunate persons suspected of the black
art are not uncommonly done to death.
In Bengal last year several cases of
the kind came before the courts. In the
Sonthal Paraganahs a woman was mur
dered by her mother and- brother, -who
believed her to be a witch..
In Palamau a man was killed, as the
villagers held that he was a wizard. In
another case two women were murdered
on the bare suspicion that they had
caused the death of three children by
cholera. Human sacrifice also Is still
practiced among the uncivilized tribes of
Bengal. . - "
In Angul . some Khonds sacrificed a
girl as a propitiatory offering against
cholera, and in Palamau a hoy was en
ticed into the Jungle and killed as a sac
rifice. There can be little doubt that
any relaxation of vigilance would re
sult in a serious increase of witch-killingr
and human sacrifices.

RESCUERS ARE DROWNED

and Towns in Ruins and
All Traffic Is Suspended.
PARIS, Jan. 25. At 2 o'clock this
morning the - water, which was rush
ing through the tunnel under the Quai
d' Orsay station, burst through the
roadway and flooded the streets, in
cluding the Rue ce Lille, the .Rue de
Poitiers una . the Rue de Bollechasse,
on which there are many aristocratic
residences. The sidewalks are likely
to cave in at any time. Those who
occupied the houses were awakened
and hurried to places of safety. .
At 3:30 this morning the flood from
the' Quai d' Orsay station extended to
the Rue du Bac, the Rue de Verneutl
and the Rue de l'Umversite. It Is es
timated that he homeless in the out
skirts of Paris number at least 5000.
Four soldiers have been drowned at
Villeneuve and three at Alfortville,
while engaged in rescue work.
Flood Will Grow Worse. v
The situation resulting from the
floods is fast becoming desperate. The
Premier and Minister of the Interior
made this declaration tonight. All con
ditions indicated a further rise of sev
eral inches of the River Seine and the
cold rain, which still continues, is
causing intense suffering among thekse
who have been made homeless. There
Is little prospect of relief.
M. Millerand, Minister of Public
Works, after a tour of inspection, said
that if the rise continued nothing could
prevent a deplorable disaster and the
flooding of the most populous quarters
in Paris. Measures that had been tak
en, he said, appeared to him to be ade
quate "for the present, but only for
the present."
Paris Is threatened with an immedi
ate and complete tier-up. The stoppage
of transportation has raised prices of
food, which is becoming scarce, and
the supply of water In seven arron
dlssements has been crippled. Author
ities assert that drinking water Is as
sured, but there is no water for in
dustrial services, which are practically
suspended.
Subways Are Flooded.
The question of transportation Is be
coming more and more difficult and
most of the remaining lines of the sub
way were forced to close down tonight
because of lactt of electric currents.
The Red Cross Society is organizing
aid for the sufferers. Subscriptions
have been opened and theaters are ar
ranging benefits.
At midnight the water was less than
a foot from the arch of the Pont a
I'Alma. Other bridges are not in such
danger, unless river craft is swept
against them. Big sewers in the Place
de Havre and--, .near Place de la Made
laine burst today, threatening founda
tions of houses.
Part of Rue St. Lazare threatens to
cave in and the whole street has been
closed. Tunnels of the subway now
under construction are flooded. The
Orleans terminus is a vast pool and en
gineers fear that the tunnels may col
lapse. At Alforville 2000 people are home
less. The water is 12 feet deep.
The salvage is being done by soldiers
in autoboats at the risk of their lives.
All the factories above and below
Paris are closed and thousands ef per
sons are out of employment.
Houses Fall in Provinces.
The provinces show improvement. At
Tours Sur Marne, however, eight houses
collapsed and at Juvigny 12 collapsed.
The authorities have decided to blow
up the dam and allow the canal to flow
into the river and save other buildings.
A hundred houses at Chalons threaten
to fall.
The situation at several places up and
down the river is deplorable. The lower
quarters of all the towns on the river
below Paris are under water, the streets
of Auteuii resembling those of Venice. A
dyke near St. Germain broke today,
flooding the valley as far as Malmaison.
The lower portion of the Bois du Bou
logne iB a blanket of water reaching to
Bagatelle. Judging from reports received
today from the provinces, a quarter of
France is under water. The Eastern. Cen
tral and Southeastern districts of France
are terribly afflicted. The valleys and
plains are inundated and the cities and
towns are in darkness.- Troops every
where have been ordered to the work of
rescue, but often they encounter the
greatest difficulty in driving the peasants
to places of safety. The cities of Mon
targis, Macon. Chalons sur Saone and
Epemayl and the entire Champagne coun
try are experiencing the most disastrous
floods since 1856. The water in many of
the villages along the Saone and Marne
reaches to the roofs of the dwellings..
Chalons Slay Be Destroyed.
At Verdun sur de Doubs, a small town
11 miles from Chalons sur Saone, the
protecting dyke is breaking and the
town is threatened with destruction.
The factories and mills have stopped
work atiMezieres, Sedan and other
places in the Meuse Valley. Great dam.
age has been done to the beautiful
French automobile roads, which have
been washed out in many places. The
Garonne and Dordogne Rivers are ris
ing rapidly. The village of Carenaic is
surrounded by a lake.

GALLANTRY GOMES HIGH
NEW" YORK FINANCIER-GENTLEMAN
LOSES $28,000 ROLL.
Warner Van Norden, Trust Company
President, Aids Women, Who
Prove to Be ex-Convicts.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25. Warner M. Van
Norden. president of the Van Norden
Trust Company, is 128,000 poorer in pocket
and correspondingly wiser in . judgment
as to when to be poHte but cautious.
Wednesday night Mr. Van Norden went
to the theater and later to the Waldorf
Jo write some letters. In a wallet in the
pocket of his dresscoat was $28,000 in J1000
balls' end 900 in $100 bills, and one $500
bM. Hie letter written, he stepped out
to the street, undecided whether to walk
home or call a cab.
As he stood hesitating, a well-dressed
woman passed him and dropped her hand
bag. Mr. Van Norden stooped and picked
it up. As he stooped, a second woman
stumbled on his feet: and, in regaining
her balance, threw her arms about Ma
neck. There was a moment of confusion,
many apologies' and then, all three went
their several ways.
When Mr. Van Norden next morning
transferred his pocketbook from his
dress coat to his pack coat, he noticed
that It felt slim. The 2S $1000 bills- were
gone.- He reported the robbery to the
police instantly and two. arrests followed
today. They are Bessie Roberts, alias
Kittle Dowd, alleged by the police to be
No. 8746, and May, alias Margie Williams,
No. 9301, in the rogues' gallery. Both wo
men are from Chicago...
The Williams and Roberts women were
arrested in front of the hotel. The Wil
liams girl la only 20 years old. always
well-dressed and is pretty. The other
woman is older.
Mr. Van Norden identified both women
and they have been held in $16,000 ball
each. He hopes to recover part of the
money stolen. He had taken the precau
tion to note the numbers of the bills and
$1000 bills are not easy to pass.

Xew York AYorld to Offer Dual De

Roosevelt and Others.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Two prospec
tive jurors had been declared free of
bias at the end of yesterday's proceedings

the Press Publishing Company, publish
ers of the New York World by the
United States Government In the United
States Circuit Court. Today they .will

challenges.
At the opening of court yesterday,
counsel for the defense characterized the

SLAYER STILL AT LARGE
ITALIANS FAIIj TO AID POLICE
TO CATCH MURDERER.
Various Theories Have Been Ad
vanced as to Motive of Crime,
j Clews let Unraveled. -
The identity of the murder of Do
minica Abanise, the Italian trackoller
who was shot to death early Sunday
evening at the corner of Hood and Lin
coln streets, still remains a mystery.
Various theories have been advanced
aa to the supposed motive for the crime.
Because of the fact that Abanise was a
guest of an Italian wedding feast Sun
day afternoon and had left the. merry
makers but a few minutes before he
was shot down it was conjectured by
the authorities that the murder in- Jf
volved a woman. . This theory was ex
plodeot last night by a number of the
Italians and friends of Abanise who at
tended the wedding feast. .
Each was firm in the belief that the
victim never divided his attentions with
any of the women at the feast, nor
acted In a manner that might gain him
the enmity of any of the guests.
Phllipe Saraflno. a roommate of
Abanise who was taken to police head
quarters and detained ' as a witness,
was released last night. Saraflno and
the victim were companions In Regglo,
Calabria Province, Italy, and came to
America together ten months ago.
After their arrival here they main
tained thir companionship and shared
the same employment and lodgings.
Saraflno averred that Abanise main
tained a warm affection for his wife
and three children he left In his native
land. According; to bis countryman.

Abanise constantly looked forward to
the time when he and his family would
be reunited in America.
The police are beginning to place
credence in the theory that Abanise"
was a marked victim in failing to con
form to the regulations of one 'of the
Italian death-dealing secret societies.
From various channels the detectives
have secured information which tends
to show that the crime had . a merce
nary motive. A thorough search has
been made in the Italian colony in
South Portland with the hope of as
certaining the identity of a companion
of Abanise who assisted in the collec
tion of money each month from their
countrymen. Why these collections
were made and for what purpose is a
mystery.

of Police Cox last night, "but our work
