VIEWS OF WARNER
Cheyenne Says Baseball Does
Not Make "Bums" Out of
Indian Athletes.
EX-"AGGIE" SHOWS PLUCK
7
Despite Injuries Emll Flays In Xew
Year's Football Game, Although
Suffering Pain Multnomah
Clubmen Praise Him.
BY KOSCOE FAWCETT.
Emll Hauser. a bigwig on the foot
ball map. put himself in social quaran
tine when he signed to play profes
sional baseball -with the Victoria club
of the Northwestern League. At least
that's what his old boss at the Car
lisle Indian School, Glenn Warner,
told the delegates to the Intercollegiate
Association in New York last week,
when. In a vicious attack on baseball,
he recommended the abolition of the
diamond sport on the campuses.
But the Cheyenne Indian football
wizard thinks otherwise. Emll. who
is a pleasant fellow off the gridiron
and an educated redskin, too. laughed
when shown Warner's statement in
a New York newspaper that "experi
ence at Carlisle has convinced us that
Instead of baseball making men of In
dians. It was more apt to make 'bums'
of them."
"I guess he didn't mean to confine
his remarks to the Indians alone,"
said the erstwhile "Waseca" of the Car
lisle football team, as his face broad
ened into a dentrtflcial smile, "other
wise he wouldn't have recommended
that other colleges follow in Carlisle's
footsteps and adopt lacrosse.
College Men Are Named.
"Coach Warner isn't thoroughly con
versant with professional baseball or
lie wouldn't say that." added Hauser.
"Jack Coombs, of Philadelphia, is
graduate of Colby College and is cer
tainly not a "bum; Christy Mathew
sou is not a tramp and he is an alum
nus of Bucknell; Eddie Collins. Joe
Birmingham, Jack Barry, Harry Hoop
er. Hal Chase. Willie Mitchell, Jake
Stahl, Birdie Cree, Harry Lord and a
host of others lay claim to college de
grees, and their activities have never
merited a dirty word like that.
"The only two Indians I know of In
the big leagues are "Chief" Meyers.
of New York, and "Chief" Bender, of
the Athletes. Meyers' social standing
has never been questioned and Bender
has been pitching ball for many years
and has made a success of it. Last year
he hit the booze somewhat, but is far
from the 'bum' stage. Le Roy the St.
Paul pitcher, is a clean, likeable In
dian." Coast Players College Men'.
Hauser is right. The real statistics
would show Just as small a percentage
of "bums" in baseball as in any other
line of sport and the writer will ven
ture the assertion that not one in 10
of the tramp athletes ever saw the
Inside of a college classroom. On the
Portland Coast club the college con
tingent includes Chadbourne. Doane,
Fitzgerald, Lindsay and Rodgers. Cer
tainly that's a fair sample of the so
cial "bums" the colleges furnish base
ball. Thero isn't a cleaner bunch of
men in any business than those five
Just cited.
Hauser is a catcher and has had just
a few weeks' profesional experience.
Those few weeks were enough, how
ever, to cause his disbarment from
Northwestern college football last
Fall, when he sought to play with the
Oregon Agricultural College. Emll
played a couple of seasons back with
Harrlsburg In the Tri-State League.
He did not last very long, as he lacked
experience.
Hamer Not Salaried.
"Emil received not one cent of pay
from us, but I suppose the fact that
he was on a professional team made
him professional," said Robert Dunlap,
a director on the Harrisbrg club, who
recently moved to Portland. "Hauser
wasn't even signed up and that's why
Secretary Farrell had no record of
his ever having played ball. I'm
afraid Emil will not make good in the
Northwestern League unless he bas im
proved wonderflly. He didn't know
much about inside baseball."
But, If the big brave displays one
half the determination and headwork
on the diamond that he exhibits on
the football gridiron, he is going to
surprise some of the critics. The Mult
nomah Club stars bucked up against
the aborigine In three games this last
Fall, twice with the Seattle All-Stars
and In the Oregon "Aggie" contest,
and they give Hauser credit for being
the gamest man they hare ever en
countered. Hauser Shows Gamenesa.
Although the target for the Mult
nomah attacks in all three games,
Hauser never once whimpered to the
officials. He took subtle pokes In the
ribs like a stoic and gave back in like
measure whenever an official's back
was turned.
"I consider him one of the tamest
players I have ever run across," was
the tribute paid Hauser by Tom Mc
Xkmald, manager of the Seattle foot
ball pickups. "A good many Portland
fans were somewhat disappointed at
his showing In the New Year's game.
Perhaps they will change their opin
ions when I say that Hauser was suf
fering tortures all through that gruel
ling match. He didn't know what
ailed him. but. three hours afterward
submitted to an operation by our phy
sician, Dr. Palmer, who removed a
turkey bone, two inches long, that
had lodced in his Inner organs.
"Dr. Palmer marvelled that the In
dian hadn't dropped during the after
noon, for he must have been suffer
ing intense pain."
TRAPSHOOTERS
TO
ELECT
Portland Gun Clnb Will Be Year
Old January 14. .
The Portland Gun Club will be ex
actly one year old January 14, when
the members meet to elect officers for
1913. The club has a membership of
more than 60 blue rock devotees, which
stives it second or third position among
the clubs of the Northwest.
J. E. Cullison, president of the rlub.
seems due for another term of office.
He is desirous of turning the Job over
to soma other member, but there la a
universal demand for his retention at
the head of the trap-shooting organi
sation. The other officers of the club
are: Joe Addleman. secretary and
treasurer; J. E, Cullison. Joe Addleman.
P. J. Holohan. Percy Knight and W. A.
Carter. -
The club has quarters near Kenton,
with a clubhouse and two automatic
traps. Should the club secure the 1913
Pacific Coast handicap a new clubhouse
will be erected in the Spring. The site
of the meet will be decided by the tour
nament committee of the Interstate As
sociation at a meeting this month. Sac
ramento is a keen contender for the
honor of greeting the trap-shooters of
the ratine Coast.

Lincoln Fan Says "Rip" Hag
erman Is Great Slabster.
KRUEGER HAS MOUSTACHE

Colt Contracts Next Week Bill
Ftnpps 5ray Play First In
Northwestern League.
"The best pitcher in the Western
League last year and destined to top
the slabsters of the Pacific Coast cir
cuit in 1913," is the eulogism William
Duncan, promiient baseball fan of Lin
coln, Neb., has for "Rip" Hagerman,
one of Walt McCredle's twirling acqui
sitions. "This chap" Hagerman is a 'bear,' "en
thusiastically declared Duncan yester
day in discussing the 'pitcher from his
home town. "He is the chap who al
most shoved Lincoln into the first di
vision, his pitching making the ex
perts of our section open their eyes.
"In addition to being a first-class
pitcher, Hagerman is the rigt sort of
a man. He is modest, intelligent, and
has good habits. He is not one of the
carousing sort of players, and is a
credit to any team."
"I have yet to hear anything to the
discredit of Hagerman," - commented
Manager SlcCredie on Duncan's en
comiums. "If he is one-half the pitcher
his admirers say he ls.-this chap will
prove a winner with Portland and aid
us in the winning of the pennant."
How would you like to gaze upon a
moustached individual in the Beaver
center field next season?
This Is not an impossibility for
'Dutch" Krueger, the Portland garden
er who Is credited with being the best
judge of batters in the West, is raising
a hirsute ornament on his upper lip.
Krueger and "Doc Schmieder, the
Beaver trainer, have resolved to leave
that portion of their faces unshaven
until the call for Spring training, while
the former says he will Eport a huge
"brush" worn a la Hohenzollern very
fierce during the coming diamond
campaign.
"It hasn't been so many years since
the stars of the game wore moustache
and whiskers" argues Krueger in de
fense of his move.
"Anything goes with me except
wnisaers, aeclares boss jxicreaie.
"Whiskers Interfere with the eyesight
on a windy day. A modest moustache
or abbreviated chops is a blessing on
some 'mugs.' "
Incidentally. "Dutch" went to work
Thursday. Keeping books for the
United States Cashier Company is the
sinecure.
Bill Rapps may wenr a Northwestern
League uniform next season. The Mc
Credies have not sold the first sacker
yet. and if a deal is not put through
soon with an AA or A league. Bill may
be sold t3 the Northwestern. Several
of tila owners discussed Rapps at the
WHO GO TO MAJOE CIRCUITS
recent meeting at Seattle but thus far
no overtures have been made for him.
If Rapps is not sold Nick Williams
will have a chance to take him. How
ever, Nick jjlays first himself, so is not
looking for another man for the birth.
Then, too, Nick does not think Rapps
would be satisfied to play in this part
of the country in 1913.
Next week XV. W.. McCredle will send
out the Beaver and Colt contracts. The
papers must be in the hands of players
before February 1, and returned to
Portland baseball headquarters by
March 1. Rodgers and Fitzgerald are
the only Beavers who have signed thus
far.
Chester Chadbourne, Beaver left
fielder. Is visiting at his home at Gull
ford, Me. Krueger received a letter
from Chad yesterday telling of the trip
East, which included a stopover to
visit Dan Howley at East Weymouth,
Mass.
Augie Moran, the Northwestern
League umpire of last year, wants to
got back In the Fielder Jones circuit
for 1913. Augie wrote a letter to "Doc"
Ackerman, Colt trainer, boosting the
country, ieague, president and players.
Walter McCredie now favors Visalia,
Cal. as the 1913 Beaver training camp.
However, he will take a trip to Cali
fornia about February 1 to look over
the various cites. The fine park, hotel
accommodations, baths, swimming pool,
etc, cause "Mac" to look with favor on
Ylsalia.
CAXIFOKXIA PICKED TO WIS
Irack Team Member Predicts Vic
tory of Berkeley School.
With all the men of last year back in
the traces, the University of California
track team will score an easy victory
over Stanford University in their an
nual track meet, according to Crabbe,
the Coast lnter-collcgiate two-mile rec
ord holder, who is passing his Christ
mas vaeation In Portland. California
lost but one man. Rice, the former
sprinter having graduated.
"We have some wonderful athletes
at our school. Stanford will have us
on the Jumps and possibly on the
hurdles, but on the weights and the
longer runs, I think we will win out,"
said Crabbe yesterday. ,
"We lost but one man and gained a
lot of fresh material which will
strengthen our chances immeasurably.
Two of our best appearing young men
are Straube and Clarke, 440 runners,
who do the quarter mile in 51:04. They,
In addition to the rejay men from last
year, ought to give us a winning team.
"McFiee. of the Los Angeles High
School, is another who gives promise
of winning meets for us. His specialty
is the high jump, with a record of 6
feet 1 inch. This was the mark with
which he won the last All-Coast inter
scholastic track meet in May. He is a
Freshman now and will probably not
win against Stanford this year, but af
ter he develops a little more, he ought
to be a wonderful Jumper.
"Shattuck, the man that has made some
creditable marks with the 16-pound
shot, is one of the most remarkable
men I have ever seen. He has repre
sented our school In every meet for the
past year and has won every event in
which he participated. I am not a
weight man. yet I can say that his arm
is eo stronger than my own. It is his
form and his shoulder which win for
him. In fact he has an arm which
often troubles him. He broke it when
a boy."
Crabbe himself is also a dependable
man st the school. Years ago. when
Allen's Preparatory School still boasted
of a track team, he used to win the 10
mile cross country run for the school.
PILOTS OF GLUBS Iff
NORTHWEST PROFIT
Many Players Obtained From
Coast League Are Sold to
Major Teams.
COHN'S DEALS ARE SHREWD
Spokane Magnate by His Manipula
tions With PanI Strand and In
Other Deals Gathers in
Total of $7 750.
BY JAMES H. CASSELL.
Are Northwestern League baseball
pilots shrewder than their Pacific
Coast League contemporaries? Call It
superior Judgment, luck, or what you
will, but the fact looms clearly that
in four instances Coast League dis
cards were eagerly 'grabbed by North
western League owners last season
and in each instance these players will
receive major league tryouts next sea
son.
La Longe. Tacoma catcher: Noyes,
Spokane pitcher; Strand, Spokane
pitcher, and Hunt. Tacoma pitcher, are
the diamond artists spurned by the
Coasters, but considered good enough
for tryouts in the majors.
The McCredles were the .victims in
the La Longe deal. Catcher Mickey
was sold to Tacoma for $300, Pitcher
Agnew being accepted in lieu of the
money. La Longe was drafted by the
Philadelphia Nationals for the usual
$1250 draft price. "Red" Dooin ex
pects Mickey to be a Phillie regular
next season.
Southpaw Hunt was purchased by
Tacoma from Sacramento for $300 and
later sold to the St. Louis Nationals
for -approximately $1500. This $1600
is not all cash, as the entire sum does
not go to the (Tacoma club .until Hunt
makes good, but in any event the
Tiger management will realize hand
somely on the deal.
Xoyes Sold to Boston Xatlonnls.
The case' of Pitcher Noyes. Seal for
a short space in 1912, is interwoven
with "David Harum" Cohn's manipula
tlon with Paul Strand, a series of mas
terly. or lucky, maneuvers which brand
Cohn as the greatest trader in the
minors. Noyes went to Spokane, along
with Altman and Powell, in exchange
for Johnny Wuffli, the third baseman
who was setting the Fielder Jones'clr-
cuit afire. Noyes was sold to the Bos
ton Nationals for $4000.
But in back of the Noyes sale, or the
appearance of Wuffli in Spokane, was
the original Strand deal. This youth
ful left-hand hurler was sold to the
Boston Americans in 1911 for approxi
mately $2500 cash, with another $1500
or $2500 to flow into Cohn's coffers
when the lad made good. Strand was
not turned back to Spokane, according
to agreement, so Wuffli was shunted
westward. Strand went to San Fran
clsco. and Wuffli to the same club for
Noyes, Powell and Altman, three stel
lar performers.
But the amusing feature of the situ
ation, and a decidedly lucrative one
for the Spokane owner, was when San
Francisco turned Strand over to Spo
kane, and the Boston. Nationals drafted
him. This makes $7750 for Strand to
date, and perhaps the end Is not yet.
Take $2500 for the first Strand sale,
add $4000 for Noyes, and the $125 0
draft for the South Prairie youngster
last season, and you have the $7750.
In addition Cohn has Powell, a good
outfielder, and Altman, a popular in
fielder. These two are valued by Boss
Joe at $2500. Net proceeds $10,000 for
one Paul Strand, who has not yet made
good in the majors. Has such a series
of deals ever been pulled oft by any
other minor league magnate?
Tacoma Makes Deal.
Another trade . executed between
Northwestern League owners resulted
in a Tacoma victory, or a total of
three major league prospects. Dug
dale, of Seattle, traded Holderman and
McMullin to Tacoma for Pitcher Gor
don. Gordon was released ,to Spokane
ere long, but Holderman was drafted
by Pittsburg. Tacoma netted, or will
net if Hunt makes good, $3700 on the
three trades. This sum enabled Ed
Watkins to retire from the Tacoma
management without delving into his
other assets.
BILL REIDY, manager of the San
Francisco Seals, was not lost at all.
Although Bill didn't think to write to
Is boss, Cal Kwing, for two months,
he was passing the Winter at his home
in Cleveland. Bill will have to pass
more than the Winter to put the Seals
in the running next season, but up to
date he has been excedlngly busy do
ing nothing.
Owner Atkins, of the Sacramento
club, says he isn't worrying over the
report that Arellanes has quit baseball
for keeps. - With the bonus he got for
winning 20 games last season Arel
lanes salary averaged close to $500 per
month, and Atkins doesn't think he
will give up a soft snap like that.
m
Nate Cartmell, the ex-fhamplon in
tercollegiate sprinter, is slated to suc
ceed Mike Murphy us trainer of the
Pennsylvania track team. Cartmell is
a general favorite at Pennsylvania. For
three years there he annexed two sprint
events and made the 1908 Olympic
team.
A
'Doing fine," chirped Ivan Olson, of
the Cleveland Naps, In Los Angeles a
few days back. "I will be here for six
weeks more, and then will beat it for
Pensacola, Fla., where ahe Naps are
to train. I feel great and think I will
have a good year. What's the differ
ence between the big leagues and the
minors? Well, that makes me laugh.
If you don't count the pitchers, such
as Johnson, Walsh, Marquard, Plank
and that kind, you can't count such fel
lows as Lajoie, Jackson, Schulte. Look
'em all over and decide for yourself."
Apparently, if you want to dope a
fight winner, watch Ad Wolgast and
then lay your coin the other way. After
tossing off several thousand on the
McCarty-Flynn bout betting on Flynn,
Wolgast picked Palzer to mop the
lariat-thrower. Twice up, twice fanned.
Duke Konanamoku, the Hawaiian
swimmer, is to meet the veteran C N.
Daniels In a special 100-yard race with
in the next six or seven months. The
American idol recently paid a visit to
the New York Athletic Club natator
lum. He had not done any swimming
for some time, and curiosity led blm
to go a 100-yard trial. To the surprise
of himself and everybody else he tore
off the century in 56 1-a seconds, with
in one-fifh of a second of the best time
he ever made in that slow pool.
Joe Cohn, the Spokane magnate, has
announced that - his men will not be
asked to sign no-boose contracts. He
says the contracts aren't worth the
paper they are written on. as they
make liars out of the men. Joe knows
whereof he speaks, for he had Ralph
SPORTING SPARKS
Willis on Just such a parchment, and
yet had to trade the ex-Coaster In mid-
season.
-
Jess Baker, Seal southpaw, evidently
doesn't like to work. In Tacoma the
other day he said hts one particular
kick at the Pacific Coast League was
the length of the schedule. Most of us
prefer to be on salary for 10 or 11
months every year, but not so with
many ball players. The Winter league
hath pleasant attractions.
Amateur Athletics.
The Gregorv Athletic Club basket
ball teams took two games yesterday
from-flie Atchlnson Memorial Church
teams. The first team . defeated the
church boys 31 to 17 and the second
team defeated the church second team
41 to 9. The Gregory teams are look
ing for games, which can be arranged
by calling Sellwood 1578. or writing to
C. Meyers, 695 MiiwauKie street.
i
The Interscholastic League may soon
arrange inter-school wrestling tourna
ments. In all three, high schools the
boys are becoming well versed in the
holds of the wrestling game.
The City Basketball League will hold
the last meeting before the opening
of the schedule tonight at the Archer
& Wiggins store. The schedule will
be presented to the managers at this
meeting.
The Brooklyn and Columbia Park
football teams, which battle for the
140-pound championship of the city on
Columbia Park tomorrow, are hoth
over weight. The elevens have been
Dracticinir hard.
College athletes who have been in
the city for the mid-Winter holidays
are beginning to disappear. Captain
Williams, of the Oregon Agricultural
College track team, will return today
for a special interview with Dr. E. J.
Stewart in reference to starting active
track training at once. He has had
his team oi.t twice a week for the last
six weeks, and daily practice will be
started just as soon as all the men are
back at school.
M'CARTY TO TAKE REST
WELLS SCHEDULED FOR "EXT
BOUT JCLT 4.
Palzcr's Conquerer Says He Will
Fight Jnck Johnson Only if
. Public Demands Match.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3. (Special.)
Bombardier Wells, on July 4, In this
city, will probably be the next match
for Luther McCarty. The conqueror of
Al Palzer today picked out the British
champion as his first opponent, as he
believes Wells can add luster to his
laurels by making him a real world's
champion.
The battle has been promised Mc
Carty, and with this point settled in
his mind he is planning two weeks'
rest before mapping out his immediate
future. Tomorrow night he will ref
eree some four-round bouts at Venice
and then hie himself to the mountains
at least for a few days. He thinks
he cannot remain in seclusion long
since possessed of his new-found
popularity.
Jack Johnson Is not seriously con
sidered, not because he is not a worthy
physical contender, but because Mc
Carty has come to the conclusion with
managers and fans that the public is
not now in the humor to match a white
man With a black. The menace of
Johnson and Langford long kept good
white men from developing into cham
pionship timber. With these two
blacks laid on the shelf it is believed
that a good crop of heavyweights will
grow up and then it will be time to
talk about a mixed match.
"I will fight Johnson if the public
demands it," said McCarty tonight,
"but this match was made with the
understanding that the negroes were
out of it and that I would not now be
called upon to meet Johnson. I don't
believe the fans who are almost all
white men will want me to fight a
negro until I have cleaned up all the
legitimate white contenders."
Billy McCarney wants to give Mc
Carty a rest, but he is not including
himself in that programme. He re
ceived a basket of telegrams today of
fering all kinds of theatrical engage
ments, from one week at $2500 in New
York to 40 weeks at $1000 a week on
the road. McCarney is sifting out the
wheat from the chaff.
It is probable that he will accept
several contracts, the first two or
three for a week at a time at a high
figure, and then a longer contract at a
lesser compensation. The 40-week con
tract In the long run looks best, but
McCarney does not believe his man
should be tied down that long, because
it will be wearisome and because the
public would soon forget his pugilistic
worth if inactive for that time. Mc
Carty will not be asked to fight for six
months, not only to permit him to rest
so as to grow some, but that he may
have opportunity to gather in the easy
money.
McCarty shows only a slight abra
sion under one eye today as a result of
his oattle.
Palzer passed last night in a bath
and worked out much of the damage
done him. He says he is willing to
fight here 'until he is again a con
tender. ALL-STARS TO PLAX ST. JAMES

ELECTION IS NEAR
Clubmen Much Interested in
Coming Event.
5 DIRECTORS TO BE CHOSEN
A. M. Ellsworth Llkelji to Be Re
elected President Handball
Tournament Continues to
Attract Interest.
Political activity will soon over
shadow athletics at Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club, for Tuesday night
the board of directors names a nom
inating committee, which will present
10 names to the Winged 'M" member
ship, from which five will be elected
to vacancies on the directorate at the
annual election on February 11.
The five retiring directors of the
club board of 11 are Alma D. Katz.
Edgar Frank. Bert Allen, Frank Ran
som and A. M. Ellsworth. Mr. Ells
worth is president of the club. Di
rectors are elected for two-year terms,
with the following, the hold-over mem
bers: C. V. Dyment, T. Morris Dunne,
R. XV. Wilbur. George Simons, Charles
Barton and Fred De Neffe.
Although there has been no cam
paigning to date and there will be
none until the five-man nominating
committee places its names before the
club, the general impression Is that A.
M. Ellsworth, the president, will be
re-elected both to the board and the
presidency. His administration has
been a most successful one and many
of the club members demand his re
tention. With the change in the directorate
will come changes in the heads of the
various departments of club activity,
as well as the renaming of all com
mittees. For this reason few of the
chairmen are announcing pluns for
1913, leaving that for their successors.
Handball is one sport which is not
languishing at Multnomah Club. Two
Important tourneys are to be inaugu
rated this month, a doubles struggle
for the Tom Cleland cup and the much-talked-of
singles class tourney.
The singles tourney will be a per
petual affair. The plan of Handball
Chairman Osborne is to rank every
handball player at the club, from 125
to 175 men. In three classes. A, B and
C. The A men are to consist of the 12
leaders in the' recent singles tourney,
headed by Ferd Smith and followed by
Ray Watkins, Phil Douglas, Dick Jones
and the other club leaders. The B
class will consist of 25 men, with the
remainder of the players in the C class.
All play will be by challenge, a
player In each instance challenging the
man above him. This enables the last
C man to work his way by the chal
lenge route from bottom to the top.
There will be no end to the tourney,
but every three months medals or tro
phies will be awarded to the men mak
ing the best showing.
The doubles tussle for the Cleland
cup will start about January 15, with,
approximately 30 teams. The tourna
ment will be a series of handicap con
tests, which should swell the list of
entries.
Boxers and wrestlers started work
last night in preparation for the Jan
uary 17 interclub programme with the
Seattle Athletic Club. The ring ath
letes took eC Test for two weeks, but
Tommy Tracey and Eddie O'Connell
had their boxers and wrestlers, re
spectively, down to the strenuous
grind.
SEATTLE TO SEND 4 ATHLETES

SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 3. (Specia)
The Seattle Athletic Club will send
four representatives to the interclub
smoker in Portland. The quartet is the
pick of the club's talent and the Blue
Diamond expects to land its share of
points.

SUBPENA SERVED ON JUDGE
Tazwell and Seton, However, Fail to
Appear Against Tom Kay.
When summoned into Justice Court
to repeat under oath former statements
attributed to them, that Tom Kay, spe
cial agent for Governor West, is not
to be believed under oath. Municipal
Judge Tazwell and Waldemar Seton,
member of the Executive Board, both
defaulted after the court had waited for
them some time. Mr. Seton had been
formally served with a subpena, which
he disregarded, and Judge Tazwell had
been summoned by telephone, but he
also failed to appear. Learning of the
move by the defense, Special Prosecutor
Rlngo Issued counter subpenas, which
were responded to by District Attorney
Cameron, Chief of Police Slover, Rev.
Clarence True Wilson. Rev. W. F. Be
van. Police Captain Moore, F. E. Beach
and John Van Zante. These gentlemen
waited all afternoon in the hall of tha
courtroom, prepared to .testify that
Kay's reputation for veracity was above
question.
- Much Jockeying preceded the eventual
failure to get the character witnesses
into court. Attorney Seton had been
trying a case just a little before Deputy
Constable Werthelmer thrust the sub
pena into his hand.
"What's this for?" he asked.
"I want you to testify as to Kay's
veracity," said Attorney Kouts.
"Well, you know me," said the attor
ney, referring to his long-continued
friction with Kay.
Judge Tazwell, with no personal mo
tive has become hostile to Kay also
and has gone on record as unwilling to
believe him under oath.
The courtroom was agog over the Im
pending fireworks, and as the word
spread a considerable crowd assembled
to hear what passed. As Attorney
Ringo, prosecuting the case, and who
would have cross-examined the wit
nesses, has become involved in some
bitterness with Judge Tazwell also, the
examination probably would have been
unsparing.
The case at Issue was the prosecution
of Blanche Raymond, accused of keep
ing -a. disorderly house at 347 Sixth
street, near Market. With her were
accused two women and two men. A
Jury of four citizens returned a verdict
of not guilty.
BULL RUN WATER WANTED

get it, when F. J. Tooze ana u. f.
Horton. members of the city council
there, called up Mayor Rushlight, of
Portland, and asked him what could
be done toward getting a supply of the
famous drink.
Mavor Rushlight told the Council-
men that they must submit a written
request for the water to the members
of the Water Board, where It will be
considered. He would not say whether
he favors the plan or not, but it is be
lieved that he does, as he has favored
aranting the right to other places, such
as Gresham and Linnton, both of which
now have obtained the privilege.
