GHOST MAY MOVE TODAY Main Foints Involved Far From Be ing Settled, and Bout Seems as Far Away a Ever February 22 Scrap May Yet Fail. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. S. (Special.). The Nelson-Wolgast supposed fight is existing in uncertainties and under dif ficulties. Point Richmond wan officially an nounced as the place for holding the match, but after an hour's discussion over a referee that point was postponed for further debate today, and the ghoBt of the moving-picture rights came bob bing up all the way through. Neither of the main points to the argument can be considered in any degree settled and the bout is as delightfully vague "as ever. It was at the request of Tom Jones, who said he was not prepared to select j. referee that the conference was put over until 2 o'clock tomorrow after noon, and it is susplcioned that the astute manager of Ad Wolgast has something under his hat which he is not now prepared to announce. As to the pictures, even that question was allowed to slide by with a dispute hanging fire that might easily cause trouble. Hester, as .promoter of the club. Insisted that he should have the moving-picture privilege. Nelson at first wanted a share, but later agreed to turn over his rights to the club. Jones, how ever, stood firm, declaring that he must have an interest or there would be no pictures taken. Altogether, the possibilities of the match for February 22 are none too bright and unless the men at the back of the propo aitlon come to an immediate settlement of the disputed issues, they will be hurt ing the gate. Just one bit of action was taken and that was the announcement from Hester that Point Richmond will have the fight. Pat Deane. representing Point Richmond, has promised that the club will furnish the permit, erect the arena and arrange for transportation service. SALT LAKE LOSES BIG FIGHT County Attorney Says He'll Stop Ma toll, if Governor Doesn't. SALT LAKE. Uta.li. Feb. 8. (Special.) Salt Lake's chances for getting the Jeffries-Johnson fight seems tonight to have gone up the spout completely. County Attorney Job P. Lyon, lias taken a hand In the situation. Mr. Lyon says he will stop the fight and that he slready has been requested to issue com plaints", and these complaints' will be forthcoming if they are necessary. Mr. Lyon says he will act under the authority of section 4306. which is Utah's now famous prizefight law and prohibits prizefighting or other contentions. Mr. Lyon says if the Governor dties not stop the fight, he certainly will do it. Tpx Rickard and Jack Gleason held a conference tonight which lasted until 10 o'clock. When it was over they both said that nothing had been accomplished toward a definite solution of the matter. Vtut that another conference wtU be held tomorrow. Whether anything will be done then, is a matter of conjecture, but Rickard admits things look mighty blue for Salt T.ake. Meanwhile, a last effort will be made to "see some people." These people are the onen who have the say as to whether the authorities will step in or whether they will not. Both Gleason and Rickard do not feel safe in pro ceeding with the arrangements for the fight unless theyreceive assurances that the bout will bo permitted. Lyon adds that a possible solution is the calling of a special session of the legislature for the- purpose of repealing the present law. It is not believed that this step will be taken. Fight fans suggest that if the state authorities do not object, the fight might be taken out of this county, but this is not likely. JOHN L. SULLIVAN WEDS BOYHOOD SWEETHEART SEC OND WIFE OF EX-FIGHTER. Ceremony Very Quietly Performed in Boston and Couple Will Take Honeymoon in Europe. BOSTON, Mass.. Feb. 8S. John L. Suflivan, once the world's champion pugilist, was married last night to Miss Kate Harkins, of 285 Roxbury street, Boston. The ceremony was per formed in the parlor of the Parker House by Fred Ingalls, clerk of the Municipal Court. Only a few friends of the bride and of the "big fellow" were present. Today the couple will sail lor Europe on the steamer Ivernla to spend the rest of the Winter .traveling. They boarded the steamer last even ing, having a stateroom next to that occupied by Jake Kilrain and his wife. For months it has been rumored that Sullivan was to take another wife after he gained a divorce from the first Mrs. Sullivan in Chicago last year. The rumor, however, did not give the name of the woman and Sullivan strenuously denied that he contemplated such a step, for he was anxious to have the affair take place as quietly as possible. Miss Harkins is 45 years old. She is the daughter- of Dennis Harkins and was Sullivan's boyhood sweetheart- NEW PLAY IS THE RAGE .Ml Pari, Talks or "Chanticleer." Rostand's PARIS. Feb. 8. (Special.) Rostand's "Chanticleer" had its official premiere tonight. It might well have been called "American night" at the Porte St. Mar tin Theater, for all the prominent Americans in town were there. They could not buy seats for the dress re hearsal last night; no money could. The places were ail occupied then by Parisians of the highest class and with powerful Influence. Paris has been talking of nothing rise today but that dress rehearsal. The newspapers printed the verdicts t the "first nighters" and they show that Parisians are likely to be divided into two camps; those who think the poet has overshot his mark, and those i who regard the drama as "Rostand's greatest work." From the literary and the lyric points of view there is no question about "Chanticleer's" merit, but few persons, even, among the author's most ardent admirers, consider it strong dramatical ly or likely to prove a popular success. In some theatrical and literary quarters today the prediction was made that Charles Frohman will never produce "Chanticleer." although he hes already paid $20,000 for the right to do so. Considered dramatically the play is in ferior to "Cyrano de Bergerac," which it greatly resembles. In fact the cock is realy a feathered Cyrano, strutting his way brilliantly through the world. Some of the speeches are noticeable in thought end phrasing to speeches in Cyrajio. The passage in which Chanticleer introduces himself is an echo of Cyrano's famous, speech about the nose. The chief fault found with the play is that the speeches are too long. Some complain that it is really too bright and verges on "self-conscious smartness" in many passages. ' A man prominent in the French world of letters expressed today the opinion that the play is remarkable, but too long drawn out; that its wit is too strikingly Parisian. He doubts even if the Frenel) provinces would appreciate its sparkling passages. All concede, however, that Rostand's conception is strikingly original and by no means ludicrous or absurd. The best opinion is that the play is great in ideas, but is not a masterpiece. FROHMAX TO GIVE PLAY HERE Announces Plans for Production of "Chanticleer" in America. NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Charles Froh man. who owns the American, and English rights of Kdmond Rostand's play "Chanticleer," announced todas that he would reproduce the present Paris play in New York, Chicago and Boston early next season. Mr, Frohman Baid tonight: "I pro pose having 'Chanticleer" acted in New York in one of my largest theaters. It will be seen here for the first time early next Autumn, after which I shall make another production, designed exclusively for the East in the Boston Theater. Simultaneously I will make a third production at the new Blackstone theater, Chicago, to be sent through the large Western cities. GREETINGS ARE GABLED 'BOB" BVRDETTE JOIXS IX WEL COME TO DR.

Family Abandons All Hope. Joe Acton, veteran wrestler and ex champion of the world, is on his death bed. He contracted pneumonia the night he refereed the wrestling exhibition be tween Frank Gotch, Dr. Roller and other notables of the James J. Jeffries All Star troupe, which appeared here Jan uary 28. Acton was suffering from a severe cold the night of the exhibition but consented to referee the bouts at the request ol his old-time friend. "Farmer" Burns. The next day he was about town for a short time but complained of pains in his chest. Sunday, January 30, he took to his bed at the home of his daughter at 383 Fourth street, and sank gradually until now his condition is alarming. Last night old-time friends of the veteran athlete called at his home, but were unable to see him because of his serious condition. At his home it was said there is hardly a chance for the athlete to survive, and members of the family at his bedside have given up all hope. Joe Acton came to Portland in 1898 from San Francisco, whre he had been employed for several years as wrestling instructor of the Olympic Club. In Port land he filled a simular position for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic' Club. He remained with the M. A. A. C. until the Fall of 1908. when he was succeeded by Eddie O'Connell, the present instructor. The veteran wrestler, who held the world's championship for more than three years, is looked upon as the phenomenon of the wrestling world. Joe Acton, of small build, did not seem to be fitted for competitions with men like Gotch, Roller and other big men of the present day, yet Acton, who was universally known as the "Little Giant," tossed men as big as Gotch tend others with ap parent ease.- Mr. Acton was bom at Wigan. England, of Irish-Scotch parentage, 56 years ago. and took to athletics while working in the mines when a lad. His fame as a wrestler soon spread throughout England, and it was not long before he could afford to give up his work as a miner and start out as a wrestler."

The institution, he declared, was not only representative of the different states of America, but was the only place of its kind abroad where 150 of the best speci mens "of patriotic Americans were assem bled. When the students were presented to Mr. Fairbanks he was impressed b- the considerable number of Chicagoans among them.

The ex-Vice-President was enthusiastic over the flourishing condition of the col lege and warmly congratulated Mgr.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. "Conserva tion the necessity for the passage at the present session of good laws for the protection of the natural resources of the United States," is -the keynote of a report Just made to the National Con servation Association by Gifford Pin chot, who was recently chosen presi dent of the association. Mr. Pinchot takes up in what he calls "a spirit of constructive criticism" nine bills relating to the conservation of natural resources, introduced into Congress, January 18, on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior, one of which has been reported from the public lands committee, the other eight being still In the hands of the committee. Mr. Pinchot calls upon the members of the association to put forth strong efforts to have enacted into law the bill on the- withdrawal of public lands, which nas been reported in amended form from the committee by Senator Nelson, following conferences between the committee and officers of the Con servation Association. This bill, Mr. Pinchot thinks, should have the ''Un qualified support of the members of the association." On the other eight bills he believes that some merely require amendment, while others must be recast. The coal bill and the phosphate, oil, asphaltum and natural gas bill, he reports, are fundamentally sound in principle, but need some amendment. "The coal bill," he asserts, "contains no sufficient anti-monopolistic clause. The clause that purposes to regulate rates to be charged the public is so framed, that it may be evaded with ease." Another clause of the bill, he adds. "may reduce the standard of mining to the wasteful level of the prevailing com mercial practice.

Abbott, counsel for the United Railroads and Thornwell Mullaly. assistant to President Calhoun, charged with bribery, were also denied by Judge Lawlor. HERO BURNED IN RESCUE Father Dashes Into Burning House to Save Two Sleeping Babes. MARSHFIELD. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) In a. heroic effort to save his children from death in a burning building, David Cowan, foreman at the Pierce logging Over -Eating W orse Than Starvation Seres. Deaths Arise Prom This Cause to One of Lack of Food. A Trial Paekage of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Seat Free, An English medical observer claims that for one death to starvation there are seven from over-eating. His Investigation is appalling and leads one to believe that among the Anglo-Saxon race over-eating is a na tional crime. This Investigation proves over-eating to be the cause in ten cases out of twelve of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trouble. These diseases bring on decay and decline of the other organs and death ensuea because of inability of the sys tem to furnish proper nourishment to the dying and afflicted parts. When one over-eats, one exhausts the gastric fluids, throws undigested food into the intestines where it creates poison and germ life and is finally ab sorbed In a putrid state or thrown from the system in a decaying form. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over come the ill effects of gluttony and irregular eating. They will digest an abnormal amount of food and will not leave the stomach until everything has been digested. A single one - grain ingredient of these tablets will digest 3000 grains of food and in this proportion is seen how even gluttony can be overcome or at least its most harmful effects removed. Make up your mind to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take a tablet after each meal and upon re tiring at night. Every druggist car ries them in stock; price 60c.

Clarence W. Gore, a student of the Uni versity of Oregon, died at his home In this city Sunday afternoon. The young man, it is said by some, never recovered from a cold contracted while being put through a hazing ordeal before Thanks giving. He contracted quick consump tion. Student Gore was forced to drop his studies at Christmas and was unable to return to the University. Young Gore last Summer brought mandamus pro ceedings against the local school board to compel it to Issue to him a diploma from the Medford High School which had been refused because he was not at the commencement exercises. This action is still pending in the Circuit Court. Without his diploma the young man entered the University of Oregon the first of last Summer. After he hod been in the university some weeks Mr. Gore, with four other fieshmen, was taken out one night and for three hours was compelled to keep up a huge bonfire for the benefit of the t.irmeniors.

Eugene. Feb. 8. (Special.) Four students were dropped outright and nearly 20 other members of the sophomore class are now attending the university on probation for participating in the mild hazing of sev eral iresnmen of whom Gore was one, last September. The action of the college faculty at that time was considered rather severe as the nazing was of an extremely light varietv consisting almost entirely of putting the freshmen through singing; speech-making and dancing "stunts." but it has resulted in absolutely stamping out all hazlne Young Gore attended the university until the recent Christmas holidays. Speaking oi nis aeatn, president f. 1 Campbell saia tomgnt: "I had not known that Mr. Gore was seriously ill, although I had received a letter from his father after the Christ mas holidays saying he would not be able to return to college this year ow ing to impaired neaith.

He had been in college up to the Christmas holidays, going along regularly with his work. u.na una nui Known or any illness. "Mr. Gore was one of the freshmen who was hazed by the sophomores at me opening or me session in SeDter ber. In the inquiry which followed the hazing he spoke of the matter and In terceded for leniency for the sopho mores. "I understood from him that his part in the hazing was very light Indeed. I saw him frequently up to the time when he went home a few days before Thanksgiving recess to do some work which awaited him there. I did not ob serve any signs of sickness nor was any irregularity reported in his class work. He returned to college after the Thanksgiving recess and remained until Christmas. I had never at any time heard any intimation of any ill consequences following the hazing." KING GOES UNDER KNIFE Operation for Appendicitis Upon Gustave, of Sweden, Success. STOCKHOLM. Feb. S.

BEN PLAN IS ORDERED School Directors Vote Down Competition in Designs. LOCAL FIRM GIVEN WORK Whltehouse & Foullhoux Will Plan West Side High School Admin istration Rooms May Be Added to New Public Building. After rejecting the motion of Director Beach, proposing that competitive bids be invited, the Board of Education, at a special meeting last night. engaged Whltehouse & Foullhoux, of this city, as architects to prepare plans and specifica tions for the new high school on the "West Side. Bonds to the amount of $350,000 were voted for this additional building at a special election of the taxpayers of the district last Wednesday. Director Beach favored competitive bidding among the architects as to plans, for the reason that it would insure a va riety of suggestions as to the character of the building to be erected. The other members of the Board, however, had not forgotten the unpleasant entanglements, involving litigation, which resulted from that course a year ago. It was the unanimous sentiment of the four dissent ing members of the Board that better and more expeditious results could be ac complished through the direct employ ment by the directors of an architect. Whether or not the new high school building on this side of the river will be erected on the Jones block, bounded by Seventeenth and Eighteenth, Couch and Davis streets, which was purchased by the district aeveraj months ago for $90, 000. was not Anally decided. It was the sense" of the meeting, however, that un less an equally desirable site can be ob tained at a reasonable price, the high school should be constructed on the prop erty purchased for that purpose. The ma jority of the board favors the Jones block because of its central location, the im probability that it will be encroached upon by the wholesale district for years to come and because of its accessibility to the Atkinson trade school. No definite conclusion was reached as to the proposed construction of an ad ministration building. Before consider ing the subject further. It was decided best to inquire Into the cost of construct ing an additional floor to the proposed new high school building for that pur pose. The Board will also ascertain the expense of securing permanent accommo dations as administration headquarters in the City Hall and in the new Courthouse, which is in course of construction.

SUGEXE. Or.. Feb. 8. (Special. ) De Thiact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you arecon 'fiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose ex perience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever smce her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such ques tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. , . MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION : Women suffering from any form of female weakness are in vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testi monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
