TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, XOVE3IBER 19. 1912. 17 AIR SCHOOL TO OPEN Christofferson Plans Aviation Classes for Winter. TWO WOMEN ENROLLED Famous and Versatile Aviator Takes Auto Agent and Newspaper Man on Flights While Crowds Watch From Bridje. Silas Christoffersen, the Northwest's most famous aviator. Is to open an aviation school here this Winter for Instruction In the piloting- of. hydro planes. Already half a dozen men and two women have enrolled themselves as students of the Christoffersen hydroaeroplane school, and "Si" expects to spend the Winter here tutoring aspiring- aviators and building; hydro aeroplanes. "By starting in with the hydroaero plane aviators pass through the dan gerous stage without leaving the water, thus minimizing the chances of injury," says Christoffersen. "Interest in the hydroaeroplane Is so keen In Portland, with so many solici tations for lessons in the water-air sport, that I have decided to remain here the erreater part of the winter, i shall make two or three machines. which will be sold to Portland enthu siasts." added the aviator. Howard M. Covey,' the automobile distributor, took his first air Journey late yesterday afternoon, Christoffer pen taklnsr him as a passenger in a flight up the Willamette River from Von der Worth's boathouse, Morrison street bridge, to the Oaks and return. The hydroaeroplane plowed through the water at a terrific clip until past the Hawthorne-avenue bridge, when the aerial route was taken. "Great." was Covey's ejaculation when he climbed from the machine after his initial experience. "I've al ways wanted to take up flying and this over-the-water style is the one best bet." he continued when he had regained his "land legs." There may be more exhilarating sport, but I have never encountered It. You have the speed sensation of the automobile race and the motor-boat race combined, a touch of mountain climbing thrown In when you reach the higher altitudes, in addition to the peculiar feeling when one leaves the earth or water and the Joys of the glide." A crowd of several Hundred people thronged the Morrison-street bridge to watch the start of the flights. Christoffersen and Covey left the Von der Worth dock, at the east end of the bridge, at 4:15 o'clock, remaining In the air for 10 minutes. An altitude of more than 1000 feet was reached on several occasions. Following the Covey flight. James H. Cassell, a news paper man. went on a 10-minute Jour ney with Christoffersen. TIXKER TRADE IS DELAYED Manager Evers VnwilHngr to Ap prove Proposed Deal. CHICAGO. Nov. IS. The Tinker trade with Cincinnati whereby the Chicago National shortstop is to become mana ger of the Cincinnati club, continues to hang fire in spite of the expressed willingness of Owners Murphy and Herrman to arrange a trade. Unwillingness of Manager Evers of the Chicago club to affix his approval to the deal is said to be the cause. Tinker and Evers had a conference today, after which Tinker talked over the telephone with Herrman. Evers said he wanted four men. Including Knisely. Mitchell and Phelan for Tinker. This is not much different from Herr mann's original proposition. He asked for the proposal in writing and will lay it before the Cincinnati directors tomorrow, when the deal may be closed. Football Injury Kills Boy. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 18. Clair Fitz gerald, of Valley, Neb., injured In a football game last Friday, died at St. Joseph's Hospital here today. The boy's neck was broken in tackling an opponent. Letters Await Claimants. . There are letters in the office of the sporting editor of The Oregonlan for Danny O Brlen, boxer, and Peter Buzu kos, wrestler. Amateur Athletics. Football speed records in scoring would seem to belong to the Washing ton High School eleven, which defeat ed the Lewis & Clark High, of Spo kane. 66 to 0, Saturday at Spokane. In the last eight minutes of play, when the second team of the Lewis & Clark was all that remained, five touchdowns were recorded, and of these, one was made in 40 seconds. The first half was rather tame as far as scoring was concerned. Washington held the rul ing hand all the 'time, but the men did not work as hard as they might have, the score being but 13 when the second quarter was over. Coach Earl was ill on the day of the departure, and Coach Fe-nstermacher accompanied the boys. . The Spokane game did the Washing ton High eleven no Injury, the black eye which Normandin received being the only visible damage. The lineup which will enter the Lincoln game on Friday will be the same as in the games previously played. The report of the Watkins-Mohawk game Sunday should have read, 16 to 7 in favor of the Mohawks instead or Just 9 to 7. The score as published was what the Watklns claim, and as the crowd at the end of the game was so thick around the scrimmage, even the officials could not see whether . the touchdown was really made. High school fans here seem to be more appreciative of outside games than the followers at Spokane. Lincoln High, of Spokane, broke even when it brought the North Central team down here three weeks ago. Lewis & Clark High, which played Washington last Saturday, claims a shortage of about 300. The Portland Ponies, a basketball team which Johnny Murphy, Interscho lastiC all-star who played with Jeffer son, is leading, will have some of the best of the local talent in the lineup. The latest to Join is Kenneth Irle, the star forward of the last season Wash ington team. Arthur Anderson, called "Bull Moose" before that party was ever Invented, will play center on the new team. Ainsworth, another Jeffer son player, is on the role as forward. Hill Military Academy and Portland Academy will colse their schedules with the game Wednesday afternoon on Multnomah Field. Hill may have to play some team for the second place in the Interscholasttc Football League, depending on the outcome of the two pames which yet remain. The first of these is the Washington-Lincoln championship mix on Friday and the Jefferson-Columbia game a week from tomorrow. ' Jefferson High School track aspir ants are out early, the knight of the measrer uniform belnsr out dally.- How ever, their appearance cannot be termed practice, as they merely circle the track once or twice and then dart for the dresslngrooms. Last Winter soccer and basketball In tho InterscholastiC League took Dlace at nractlcally th same time, Moreover it was found that the stars in soccer were also interested in ine indoor game. As a result, the managers of various teams are trying to tare tho schedules for the two games so arranged that one of the sports will be done with and on the shelf before the other starts. PUPPY IS DENIED PASSAGE Tears In Eyes of Stale Passenger as He Bids Dog Farewell. During the last rush of passengers to board the steamer Beaver Sunday the officer in charge of the gang-plank noticed a suspicious protuberance of tho coat of one of the men.- When nuestlnned. he attempted to push by, but finally admitted he had a pup that he desired to smuggle on board. Re quested to show his state certificate of inspection, so as to permit mm to ! CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' COLLEGE GETS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. Leon Fabre, Jr. Leon Fabre, Jr., who represent ed the Multnomah Club for many years in wrestling, swimming and indoor sports, has been named athletic director at th Christian Brothers' College. At his new post he will train the basketball tea ms of the school, besides handling the gymnasium work of the school. The college expects to have one of the best basketball teams In its history the coming Winter, with several former ama teur stars in the lineup. Gaynor will play forward; Powers, for ward; Slebert, guard, and O'Shea, center. These boys all played with the team last year. the animal from Oregon Into Califor nia, as is mandatory under the exist ing laws, he became Indignant. He is only a little dog, in good health, and the best bred collie ever," was his argument, but it lasted just long enough to be told to leave the pup behind and. If necessary, stay with it 'All aboard! came, the cry, and, with tears in his eys, the man kissed the pup goodbye and presented him to the legless chewing-gum hawker, who visits all outgoing steamers to sell his wares, with the positive guarantee that they are a -preventive for sea sick ness. Several dog fanciers were pres ent, and after examining the pup, de clared it must be a new breed of col lie, as they had never seen one with short hair and black and white spots. 14 MEN ARE ARRAIGNED Judge Gatens Gives Accused Until Tomorrow to Prepare for Hearing. In the presence of a courtroom fuli of spectators, 14 men charged with de praved practices were arraigned be fore Circuit Judge Gatens, sitting as a special committing magistrate, yes terday afternoon. All were given until tomorrow to prepare for preliminary hearing. Judge Gatens agreed to pro vide attorneys for several who declared their financial inability to hire counsel, Wednesday evidence against the men will be presented by Deputy District Attorney Collier. It Is anticipated that all will be held to the grand Jury. Those arraigned were N. B. Healy, Earl Van Hulen, Jack Rigo, "eccentric Gipsy violinist ; Lionel L. Deane, Rob. ert, Johnson. H. L. Rowe, Earl Brown, B. Thornton, C. D. Bronner, William Homan, Harry A. Work, E. E. Wede meyer. Earl Taylor and W. D. Tlerney. 'Dr. Harry A. Start had secured his release on bond of $5000 and was not in the crowd. He will be arraigned later, Fred Rodby, a hotel employe, proba bly will be held as a witness instead of being charged. He Is 21 years or age. Three or four other boys of about the same age will be witnesses also. At the request of Deputy District At torney Collier ball was fixed at J5000 by Judge Gatens in the cases of N. B. Healy, Lionel L. Deane, H. L. Rowe, B. Thornton, C. D. Bronner and Harry A. Work. Mr. Collier stated that the evi dence probably would justify the plac ing of several charges against each of these, and possibly against all the de fendants. The others will be required to furnish cash bail of $2500 each. ARCHITECT BEATS TAILOR It. D. Carter and H. Westerman Come to Blows Over Fit of Gown. Because "that style of gown did not belong to that f lgger, ' in the words of one of the witnesses, L. D. Carter, architect, and H. Westerman. a wom an's tailor, "mixed it" at the tailor's place of business, and the architect was before the Municipal vouri yesterday on charges of larceny and assault and battery. , Westerman engaged to matt a gown for Mrs. Carter, and guaranteed a per fect fit, but the fit that resulted was more of a psycopathic than a geom etric nature. Mr. Carter accompanied his wife to the shop to demand resti tution, and the argument came to a climax with Westerman pulling at one end of the unsatisfactory gown and Carter at the other, while Mrs. Carter looked on. The tailor complained that he had been kicked and accused the architect of stealing the gown. The larceny charge was dismissed, but the architect was found to have laid hands on the tailor and a fine ol $10 was im posed and then suspended. Mrs. J. S. Oberg's Funeral Held.

New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses . ' Pantages. A1 BILL much out of the ordinary is that at the Pantages this week. Three of six acts are new departures in the vaudeville line and the other three are good, even though along the usual vaudeville trend. The headllner of the bill probably Is "The Stage Door Johnnies," a catchy little musical playlet verging orr grand opera. The act is interspersed with laughs created by a good "blackface manV Pretty costumes and good sing ing are features of songs "set to the (clink," the 'pop' and the 'honk honk' of midnight life." Unusual and interesting Is the mo tlon picture and lecture act of Robert C. Montgomery on "The Garden of Al lab." The pictures, taken undoubtedly at enormous expense and trouble, not to mention hardships, show the pe cullar and Interesting life of the deserts of Africa. The pictures are clear an show some wonderful scenes. Peculiar ly interesting are several scenes of Arabian worship. An act out of the ordinary Is that of the Howard bears. Four brown bears do some astonishing stunts. Those who saw the last show last night got a thrill not scheduled on the programme. While the bear train r was handling one particularly vicious-looking bruin, the animal muzzle fell off and he snapped the trainers hand, cutting an ugly gash. The trained continued through the act with his hand covered with blood. The bears show remarkable training In several performances. Laughs fall over one another In the song and dance act of the "Arlington four, singing and dancing messengers. Especially good are some original songs. Al Carlton, on the programme as "the original skinny guy, certain ly fills the description. With an unique costume he resembled a large sized hair pin. Orpheum. i VERYTHING goes off with a zip, i bang, boom and all the noise and Joys attendant on a three-ring circus is the Orpheum bill this week. The headline number comes in two relays. Adrlenne Augarde, an English comedienne, shares honors with Marion Llttlefield's Florentine singers. Miss Augarde, like -most of ber sister come diennes from England, Is a beauty, and sings with pleasing power. However, instead of doing a series of songs and steps Miss Augarde has chosen a sketch comedy about a wife who smuggles enough jewels to stock a small store. The lines of the sketch are clever and Miss Augarde gets everything out of them. Her comedy is delicious and she makes a pretty picture. The sketch is called "A Matter of Duty." Louis Myl lends support as the concience-stricken husband. The Florentine singers are eight in number and hold all the concerted melody of a great big organization in their little band. Marion Llttlefield's voice is the biggest, a splendid rich contralto, the melody of which rings through all the chorus numbers. Two lovely velvet-like sopranos, two tenors, two bassos and one contralto other than Miss Llttlefield's are heard. The costuming and grouping are colorful and blend with the harmony of the voices. All of the old operatic favorites and "Annie Laurie" and "Dixie afe sung. "La Paloma" was the delight ful of delightfuls yesterday. Ed Morton could have kept on coming back for hours If hed felt so in clined. He is generous and obliges with encores. All of his songs are new In theme and tuneful as to melody of the rag sort. They sure did like Ed. Sol Goldsmith and Guy Hoppe have deal of pleasantries in "The Com merclal Drummer.'' Sparkling flips of distorted English a rapid-fire inter change of brand new comedy personal! ties pass between the two and then they play on horns, and concertinas. They make the minutes simply scatter before their whirlwind of funnisms. An act that may have been built for youngsters but nevertheless pleases al the grownups is Herbert's canines. Three beautiful slender greyhounds jump twice their master s height, and a wee fox terrier loops the loop, run ning around the inside of a huge hoop, Dozens of other dogs of assorted sizes frisk about. One climbs a ladder up Into the flies, then somersaults into net held below. Ending the bill are the Martin brothers, daring and death defying demonstrators of the double trapeze. Out across the footlights one of the duo files, held only by a rope held by the other; once he circles about with only a strap holding his head to the head of his brother. The act is of the nerve -racking, hair-raising, thril ling kind. Also on the bill is a mess of maudlin slap stick rot called "Mr. Flynn from Lynn," which excites only the mild query of how on earth such acts re ceive booking from managers. YA ONDERFUL exhibitions of physi- W cal prowess, good singing and clever comedy combine to make the bill at the Empress this week one of unusual merit. Van Avery may not be designated as the star of the vaud eville cast, but he got off to a good start and breezed down the stretch under wraps in the applause handicap. Two brothers, named Spa, and a third member of the family do clever stunts with a ladder and the strength in their arms. They, too, get gener ous recognition from the audience. Avery, programmed as the "original Rastus, " says common things in an un common manner and sings or shouts songs about a porter in a hotel who has "nothing to do till tomorrow." His funny antics, burlesque makeup and humoro.us mannerisms take the people off tneir guard. Along with Carrie Avery he goes through an imaginary flight to the clouds. His partner wants him to become famous and known as "Reckless. Rastus, the Dare Devil of the Air." Rastus. however, preferred a secluded existence and the modest title of "Cautious Rastus, the man who kept his feet on the ground." Opening the bill are Collier and De Walde, wizards on roller skates. They have a variety of unusual tricks and perform them in clever style. The Harmony Bells and Beaux four in number sing songs of the old world with sweet voices and faultless style. George Garden plays delightfully on the xylophone, including popular and classic selections. Paul Spadoni's juggling is good. He throws cannon balls around like so many rubber balls and does strange things with the furniture. His act. however, is virtually spoiled by his at tendant. The latter's comedy is even worse than the former's juggling is good. Motion pictures, snowing numerous interesting subjects, close the bill. Lyric ' ALTHOUGH the entire company does itself credit in the new offering at the Lyric Theater, "The Heartbreak era," the big feature of the turn is the song accompaniment. Miss Maybelle Baker and the chorus In the song "Next Sunday at Nine" Is one of the pretti est scenes ever staged on the Lyric boards and the house simply could not get enough of the number. Miss Baker appears in a beautiful bridal -costume and the remainder of the girls are draped in the dress of the bridesmaids. Misses Delia and Stella Romlg are dressed as pages and give the whole a real high-class appearance. Another semi-musical feature Is a Bong which developed Into a pillow fight and the fight probably caused as much of the enthusiasm over the num ber as the song, although Miss Francis White, who did the singing, got an there was to be gotten out of it. Jack Wise appeared several times and received a. noisy recall f rom the front each time.. He is getting, more popular with the patrons of the musical house all the time, and the two songs this week, "A Girlie Who Was Made Just to Love" and "Colonial Days," are two more steps to fame. Naturally, Lew Dunbar as the Dutch man and Edward S. Allen as the He brew, are screams with their quaint dialect and mirth-provoking antics in their usual roles. , " The olay is another produced by Allen Curtis with the sole intention of getting as many laughs as possible Into the hour and a half. Miss May belle Baker Is the center, as a most charming widow, with the additional incentive of $3000 "added money-" Thp nlav concerns the attempts of the Dutchman, and the Jew-to get her and the money and ends with, a little dinner scene which has no connection with the rest of the show further than it produces loud and prolonged laugh ter. ' - Reece Gardner, as Joseph Growler, interrupts the course of the show oc casionally with his Impatient outbursts of rage. He also sings, his selection being the "Music Teacher." A real bit of comedy In the nature of a feature .film precedes the show and the orchestra Is primed with-a lot of new music, which Is throws out lib erally. , RULESMGED IJiTERXATIOITAIi BOARD TO CON TROL OLYMPIAD PLAXXED- American Athletic Union Goes on Record as Favoring Switch in Water Polo Regulations. NEW YORK. Nov. 18. An interna tional athletic federation for the con trol of Olympic games Is proposed in resolutions adopted at the 25th annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union here today. It was voted to appoint a committee of five to meet in 1913 with representatives of foreign countries for the purpose of organizing such a fed eration. The trouble over the water polo championship at Pittsburg last March led to the adoption of a resolution de claring that the water polo champion ship for 1913 be canceled and recom mending that the rules governing wa ter polo be abolished and tnose oi tne International Swimming Association be substituted. Thfl rules for amateur boxing were revised, the most important change be ing the lengthening of rounds to tnree minutes each. Three three-minute will be allowed under the new rules, with an extra two-minute round if the referee so decides. President Kirby in his address said the United States now is the object les son of the world for athletic suprem acy and declared that the Olympic competitions were doing more xo pro mote world peace than The .riague conference. The high jump of 6 feet 6hk inches, made by C. L. Horine, In a dual meet at Leland Stanford Jr. University, on March 29 last, was accepted as tne world's record by the awards commit tee. The committee also accepted 11 rec ords made by American athletes at the recent Olympic games in Stock holm. GRIFFIN CHOSEN AS REFEREE - V Wolgast and Ritchie Agree on Third Man for Tnrkey Da Fight.

W. Carroll, City Comp troller, within the next 24 hours, that the association Intends to abandon its effort to compel the retirement of Mayor Cotterill. At the end of ten days, thecity char ter provides, the recall petitions must be sent back to the association that filed them "without prejudice," and probably the episode will end then and there. It may be that the Recall Asso ciation will go further and formally withdrawn the petitions, but the principal thing that the association desires is to let the Comptroller know that he need not anticipate the task of checking up supplementary petitions. The showing that only 4S per cent of the names were good was a disap polntment to the Recall Association, which had expected the petitions to run 64 per cent. Officers of the Recall Association say they believe they were jobbed by their employes who filed fictitious names. One of the officers said this morning: "We discovered, some time ago, that several of our employes were forging signatures and thought we had cleaned out all of that class. Apparently we were mistaken. If Mayor Cotterill and his friends want to employ themselves by prosecuting the persons who im posed on us, it will not hurt our feel ings. However, we will 'holler be cause we were out-maneuvered by these Jobbers." RECALL PETITIONS FAIL Official Check Shows Lists in Seattle Are Short 5000 Names. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 18. (Special.) The official check of the petitions for the recall of Mayor Cotterill, finished today, show that the petitions are 5000 short of. the number required for an election. Sixteen thousand names are requisite and the checkers found that there were only 11,034 signatures that passed mus ter. There were 1134 petitions contain ing 22,499 names. Of this number 9907 were not found on the registration books and 1158 were duplicates. The cost of checking the petitions was about $2000. The recallers have ten days in which to file amended petitions. Because the present recall amend ment to the charter will be void be cause of the recall amendment to the constitution, officials of the cities of the state at the convention of the League of Washington Munlclpalitles-j at Wenatchee in December will prob ably agree on the recall provision of a bill to be introduced in the coming Legislature, one suggestion being that In case of a recall petition the signers shall be compelled to attach their sig natures at the office of the City Comp troller.
