WORKOUT SQUAD GROWING
Buddy Ryan Xearly Stranded in Los
Angeles, Owing to Railroad's
Refusal to Carry Out
Change of Route.
SANTA MARIA, Cal., March 2. (Spe
cial.) Ben Kratzbertr Joined the Portland
squad of baseball players this afternoon
and hla arrival swelled the number of
players now In camp to 13. y
A Portland evening- paper last Satur
day said that Kratzberg and Kelly ar
rived that day, but Kelly has been
turned loose by McCreedle and Kratz
berg appeared today. Kelly wanted to
delay reporting for several days and Mc
Credie promptly telegraphed him not to
come at ell. George Ort telegraphed Mc
Credie from Ogden this morning that he
end William Speas, Miles Metzel and
Ernest Krapp were delayed at that place
because of a washout on the Southern
Pacific.
Buddy Ryan, who reached camp yester
day, arrived at San Francisco Friday
night and Instead of being pent to Santa
Maria by the Coast route, was sent out
of San Francisco by the Bakersfleld
route to Los Angeles, and at Los Ange
les he would have been stranded had It
not been for "Happy" Hogan and Henry
Berry, for the Southern Pacific Company
refused to isaue him a ticket from Los
Angeles to Guadalupe.
McCredie Is wrathy about this episode,
for he fears that other players may be
similarly dealt with by the railway offi
cials. Dan Ryan. Buddy's brother, has Joined
the workout squad and says, that he in
tends to try for one of the Jobs as a
pitcher. He Is a much larger man than
Buddy and has a world of speed and good
curves. He says that he would like
better to play baseball than to remain In
the Government service In Colorado.
On the late train tonight John a.
Perrlne and Phil Leglie arrived here.
Both were tired and delayed over 20
hours each through washouts and
snowslldes.

UNIVERSITIES NOT TO MEET
Gridiron Date Conflicts Bar Washington-Oregon
Game.
SEATTLE). Wash., March 2. The- foot
ball teams of the Universities of Oregdn
and Washington will not battle on the
gridiron this year. Graduate manager of
athletics, Victor Zednick, of Washington,
has turned down Oregon's proposition for
a game the Saturday before Thanksgiv
ing day and has accepted a game with
the Washington State College eleven at
Spokane for November 12. Washington
wanted to meet Oregon November 12, but
Oregon has a contest scheduled with Ore
gon Agricultural College for that date.
An- effort was made by Oregon to shift
the engagement wlth Washington to the
Saturday before Thanksgiving day.
As the eleven of the University of
Washington will clash with the husky
pigskin chasers of the Oregon Agricul
tural College on Turkey day. Manager
Zednick did not care to schedule two
hard games so close together.
Washington's football schedule Is now
complete. It provides that of the four
big conference games, three will be
played in Seattle. Last year Washington
made $6000 on football and with such a
favorable schedule, that figure should be
exceeded easily. The following games will
constitute Washington's engagements ou
the gridiron for the session of 1910:
Lincoln High School, October 1; -University
of Puget Sound, of Tacoma, Octo
ber 8: Whitworth College, of Tacoma,

OWNED BY E. HENRY WEMME.
cVX fi
o'clock this afternoon. Hamilton was
expected here ' last evening, according
10 nis announced schedule, from Doug
las. Ariz., which place he left last Fri
day. Hamilton will be accompanied by
iour assistants, and will bring, with
him two Curtiss biplanes, both of which
he will fly during the meet. The ma
chines have been taken apart and are
shipped as double first-class express.
The combined weight of the two Is
11U pounds.
The aeroplanes will be unloaded this
afternoon and taken to the grounds of
the Portland Fair and Livestock Asso
ciation, formerly known as the Coun
try Club. These grounds are between
the Rose City Park extension of the
East Ankeny carllne and the O. R. &
N. main track. They extend half a
mile east of East Sixty-second street.
The impression Is erorneous that the
meet will be held at the Lewis and
Clark Fair grounds.
Biplane and. Auto to Race.
The machines will be set up Friday
and everything will be put in readi
ness for the initial flight at 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, i-iamilton will not
make a flight prior to that time. How
ever, he will be conducted to the
grounds by the aviation committee In
an automobile immediately upon his
arrival here, and will study the topo
graphical conditions as well as the ar
rangement of the racecourse over
which the numerous flights will be
made.
Probably one of the most spectacular
races Ik the history of speed contests
will be 'conducted on this course. It will
be between Hamilton in his Curtiss bi
plane and a Bulck automobile with a
30-horsepower engine, driven by Norman
De Vaux, of the Northwest Bulck Com
pany. A cash prize of $100 has been of
fered by the Portland Aeronautic Club
to the winner of the race. Owing to the
muddy condition of the track, the best
speed of the automobile probably will not
be obtained. De Vaux yesterday ex
pressed confidence in his ability to win
the race. On the other hand, Hamilfon
Is equally confident of winning. In a
telegram received, at aviation headquar
ters in the Oregon Hotel yesterday he
makes the statement that he expects to
have little difficulty in winning the race
and the purse.
A rising barometer .yesterday gave
promise of fair weather during the meet.
This has been a point of anxiety with
the management, which is fearful lest a
wrong Impression may be held concern
ing the effect of the weather on ability
to fly.
Rain Will Not Prevent Flights.
No matter whether It is raining or the
sun is shining, Hamilton can and Is
pledged to make the flights each day.
The fact that an . aeroplane can fly in
almost any kind of weather, excepting
where the wind is so high and fickle in
its changes as to make it too hazardous.
Is one of the most remarkable features
of the new conqueror of the air. Rain,
no matter how hard the downpour, does
not interfere with flying an aeroplane
and Hamilton has promised that it shall
make no difference here.
With this understanding, -hundreds 01
tickets are already being sold. Society is
evidencing an unusual interest In the
new game, that promises with time to
become one of Its fixed fads. Only -a few
of the boxes' remain, they having been
sold at $20 each. Women even more
than men are interested In aviation, as is
shown by inquiries at headquarters. No
fewer than a dozen soclejy women have
made application to Manager Lively to
be allowed a ride with Hamilton on one
of htfs flights. These requests will be
referred to the aviator upon his arrival
here today.
The Curtiss biplane, owned by E.
Henry Wemme arrived here by express
from Seattle Tuesday, where it had
been on exhibition 10 days for the
benefit of the Portland-Mt. Hood road
fund- It was removed to the Country
Club grounds and the work of putting
the intricate pieces together was be
gun. Walter E. Donnelly, a student of
aviation and a mechanic, is in charge.
Donnelly will be one of the drivers of
the machine. Other drivers . will be
Forest Smithson, the Portland track
athlete, and Jack Goldman, a young
English automobile racing driver.

CLAY OPPOSES PRINCIPLE
Prediction Made ' That Annual Ap

or Sixty Millions.
WASHINGTON. March 2. After a brief
discussion the Senate today passed the
bill authorizing the issuance of $30,000,000
worth of certificates of indebtedness for
the completion of irrigation projects
already under way.
The bill is intended to supply enough
money to finish these works and it Is
contemplated that the certificates shall
be retired by money derived from the sale
of lands redeemed by the Improvements.
Clay of Georgia made a speech In op
position to the principle, involved, rather
than against the bill itself.
He predicted that the time would come

$50,000,000 or $60,000,000 would be necessary
to carry on the reclamation work. He

State May Not Get Full Share in Ir

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 2. Unless Secretary Bal
linger can be persuaded to approve the
.extension of the Umatilla irrigation proj
ect. Representative Ellis is fearful that
Oregon will receive scant benefit under
the bill which passed the Senate today,
authorizing the loan of $30,000,000 to the
reclamation fund to complete projects
now under construction.
In view of the fact that the entire Up
per Klamath project was abandoned re
cently, there is little hope of getting any
money for that enterprise, and Umatilla
is the only other Oregon project eligible
to receive benefits under the terms of
the bill, as the money can be used only
on projects now under construction,
--vln his estimates. Secretary Ballinger
set aside only $50,000 for Umatilla. To
complete the extension of this project by
building a high-line canal will cost about
$2,500,000, and Mr. Ellis will urge the Sec
retary to approve this extension and to
allot sufficient money from the $30,000,000
to carry the extension through to com-

REVIEW OF HAZING ASKED
Mrs. Sutton Presses for Indictment
of Naval Officers.
WASHINGTON, March 2. Henry E.
Davis, counsel for Mrs. Rosa B. Sutton,
is anxious that some committee of Con
gress, preferably the naval committee,
shall review the evidence taken before
the naval court of inquiry that met at
Annapolis last Summer to examine into
the death of Lieutenant James N. Sut
ton, of the Marine Corps. He is not
asking Congress to hold an entirely
new Inquiry and examine witnesses,
but merely to go over the evidence al
ready of record, and on that review
base an opinion, for he maintains that
such review will result in the finding
that young Sutton was killed by some
of his companions.
If such a review and report can be
secured, Davis is of the opinion that
the grand jury In Maryland will then
take up the case and return Indict
ments, thus carrying the case into the
courts for a final hearing and verdict.
It is apparent from Mrs. Sutton's latest
moves that she is anxious to have the
-officers, implicated In the Sutton af
fair dismissed from the service, and if
possible have some or all of them fur
ther punished. In the event the courts
hold them in any way responsible for
her son's death.

Pianos Sold
by the Pound
A NEW INNOVATION .
Did you ever hear of pianos selling by the pound before?
We are doing it this week, and believe it is the best plan, as you
get just what you pay for, whether high or medium grade.
NEW PIANOS
"We find that pianos that usually sell for $250 only bring about
$218 in this way, and the $300 makes about $238., This is quite a
saving. Other pianos range according to grade and weight, but in all
cases fall way below the usual selling price.
SECOND-HAND PIANOS

CITY TO LOSE MILLIONS
AXTI-SALOOX VICTORY MAY
BANKRUPT CHICAGO.
League Proposes Scheme to Replen
ish Revenues if Prohibition
its Should Win.
CHICAGO, March 2. (Special.) Chi
cago will become bankrupt if the voters
decide that the city shall be made anti
saloon territory, according to a state
ment made to Nathan A. Cole, chair
man of the Manufacturers and Mer
chants' Association today by Hugo S.
Grosser, ex-City Statistician.
Mr. Grosser said that despite argu
ments that are to be submitted by the
"drys," the annual loss will be $8,000,
000 in saloon taxes alone,, in addition
to other revenue. .
The "drys," on the other band, are
rejoicing because they have been assured-by
Mayor Busse that they will
have an opportunity to show how the
financial loss to the city may be offset.
They say that equal taxation will solve
the problem. William F. Mulvlhill, of
the anti-Saloon League, today prepared
statistics which he believes will con
vince the committee appointed by
Mayor Busse that at least $9,000,000 ad
ditional revenue can be realized by
taxation of property that is now sequestered.
