It was tha opening; of the 1913 Coast League season here, and the 17,000 rabid patriots who parried the blows f Dune Nature and finally wedged themselves through the turnstiles into the stadium witnessed one of the most dramatic contests in history. One of those ball gamea which are famed In song and story and carefully cherished was this opening-day encoun ter an unparalleled .performance of consecutive thrills and under circum stance! that may never be repeated in this city- Krmate mm Rodgera Are St arm. Around the Illustrious names of Harry Krause and Bill Rodgers must be festooned the garlands of might, if there be such garlands entwined or concealed In a drawn battle. Bill Lindsay nd Bill Rodgers splin tered Pitcher Perrltt, of the Angels, in the flrst Inning as the tornado tears its ruthless path through the grain fields of the prairie, and brought Portland a tally. With this one-run lead South paw Krause twirled wonderful, super sensational ball for eight innings, and then. In the ninth, a walk, a wide throw to second by Brry and a sacrl flee fly tied the score and there was no breaking the draw. But there's no discounting the south paw's brand of twirling. Krause al lowed but two hits In 10 innings. He went out to give way to a baserunner after banging out a double to deep center in the last half of the. tenth. Perritt. his lean and cadaverous oppo nent, also twirled masterly ball, but tha advantage was all Krause's. Beavers Will Ds," 'ay Fa ma. Yesterday was Portland's first t-Uinpse of the 191J ball club.

They exuded "pink" and "class" from every pore; they had done all their long-distance running In training camp and came home a pol ished unit. The crowd of nearly 17.000 blood-red "bugs" exceeds all past records by one- third.

Drizzfe and drizzle, and then spas modic sunshine, was the programme until nearly 3 o'clock, at which hour the empyrean water works closed until 6:30. Then the 17.000 of the loyal hosts were so fatigued and exhausted with the strain and tension of the. ever changing battle that nobody cared if all the shampoos In captivity were re leased from above. The five turnstiles registered exactly 13.241 persons. For hours the half crazed mob squirmed and fought around the narrow entrance and the police had their hands full. Finally W. W.

The most strenuous fight by the opposition Dem ocrats on the provisions of the tariff bill now under consideration before the House Democratic caucus . is expected tomorrow, when the wool schedule probably will be reached. The anti-free- wool Representatives have organized for : the contest with Representative Ashbrook. of Ohio, as chairman, and. although the odds against them admittedly are great, they propose to make a determined strug gle to bind the caucus to a 15 per cent duty on raw wool as a substitute for the raw wool provision inserted In the bill at the request of President Wilson. Should the opposition Representatives fail to attain their object In caucus it is possible they, may ask to be re leased from their pledges so that they may continue the fight against free wool on the floor of the House. Fanners Hchedulea I'scbanxed. Wheat, citrus fruits and cotton were the chief targets of the opposition in the caucus today, the cotton schedule still being under consideration at ad journment.

Total. 2 cents. '. Such was Colonel Roosevelt's lunch and its cost today. It was bought by the Colonel among pupils, children of various nationalities. . at an East Side grammar school at noon. The ex-Pres ident visited several schools to investi gate -the food at cost-price luncheons Curnished under the auspices of the child life committee of the Progressive party. " " ' "It was food which I would have en- Joyed as a first-class dinner or lunch on the round-up. or with the regiment, or on a picnic or anything like that," said the Colonel. "I feel very strongly on this lunch question.- I feel -that we ought by law to get every state to provide that the, school boards should furnish meals to the Children at not less than the cost price of Taw mater ials. I hope that will be made a plank of the Progressive municipal platform in the Fall." Colonel Roosevelt saw several chil dren pay more-than 2 cents for lunch. One child, whom he referred to as an "amateur Vanderbllt," spent 7- cents, buying chocolate, bread, cake, soup and three dishes of salad. ' Several pupils told the Colonel they used to go to the Btreets for their lunch, buying it from push carts, some purchasing green pickles and candy. He learned that 2800 children are served daily at seven schools. KAISER OPPOSES DUELING Army Told to Cultivate Self-Control as Manly Virtue. BERLIN, April 15. Emperor Wil liam earnestly is endeavoring to re duce the number of duels fought by German army ' officers, according to announcement made to the committee of the Imperial Parliament today by General von. Heeringen, Minister of War. His Majesty, said the Minister. admonished the commanding Generals at his New Year's reception to give their attention to the subject, chiefly in the way ' of improving the training of officers. The Emperor followed this up with rescript to the army calling atten tion to the number of duels caused by officers Insulting their ' comrades or civilians. This was In the nature of a warning to the officers to strive against such practices. It -concluded: "Sflf-control and restraint ' must be cultivated as manly virtues."

TREATY EFFECT CONSIDERED Intention to Become Citizens Requisite in Holding Land. FINAL VOTE IS 60 TO 15 Debate Is Spirited, but Legislators Reruse to Restore Original Form New Problem 'of Races Foreseen. ' SACRAMENTO, April 13 An anti alien land ownership bill, designed pri marily to prevent Japanese from ac quiring title to real property within the state, but so worded as to pro hibit any alien from owning land more than one year except on a declaration of his intention . to become a citizen was passed today, by the Jower house of the Legislature by a vote of 60 to 15. The measure was drafted by a subcommittee of the Judiciary commit tee as a substitute for other bills, all of which specifically provided that "aliens Ineligible to citizenship" should not hold lands. The committee, however, proceeded on the theory that such a statute might be held in violation of the treaty rights of Japanese subjects and broad ened the measure to include all aliens who had not declared their Intention to becoming citizens. In order not to embarrass foreign i-orporations of large Interest in the state, the committee did make the cor poration clause of the bill, section 8, apply only to "aliens not eligible to citizenship." although Assemblyman Sutherland, one of the committee, ad vocated the striking out of the section entirely. .

PORTLAND, CAUGHT BY OREGONIAN PHOTOGRAPHER Flight Made in Early Morn and Oc cupants Apparently Take Ob servations of Land. SEASIDE, Or., April 15. (Special.) A dirigible balloon moving rapidfy was seen sailing over the ocean near here and south of the mouth of the Colum bia River this morning about 5:30 o'clock. Several persons who had risen early to catch the train for Portland and persons 'of the Moore Hotel watched the air craft until it disappeared from sight behind Tillamook Head. Charles A. Runo and wife, of Wor cester, saw the balloon from their win dow, which overlooks the ocean. It came from the direction of Fort Stev ens. When they first noticed the car it moved swiftly towards the Wash ington shore, where it seemed to stand poised for a couple of minutes, taking observations, then in a sweeping circle it headed towards Tillamook Head and passed out of sight around the light house. This is not the first time the balloon has been sighted along the beach be tween here and Fort Stevens. About three months ago it was reported from Columbia Beach " and at other points. An effort was made at that time to learn whether the officers at Fort Stevens . were experimenting with a dirigible war balloon and taking ob servations, but nothing came of the Inquiry. The balloon is believed to be a war dirigible by Captain John Anderson, whose' sea experience has taught him the use of the marine glasses, and who had the craft - under observation for ten minutes. He said he could make out three men aboard, and that one of the three was peering through a tele scope. One seemed to be taking notes, and the other was at the helm. FRIENDLY- FEELING GROWS Cottage Grove Club Opposes Refer endum Proposal. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., April 15. The friendly feeling between Cottage Grove and Eugene, which was disrupt ed by the bitter county seat and refer endum fight two years ago. and which was partially restored tnrougn tne efforts of the Eugene delegation put forth In the recent session of the Leg lslature in attempting to create Nes mith County, was still further cement ed last night when the Cottage Grove Commercial Club went on record as op posed to referring the present appro priatlons for the State University. - n"m'V Temperature of 97 In dicates Weakness. BRONCHIAL SYMPTOMS ALARM Attending Physicians Order Bacteriological Tests. BROTHER REACHES BEDSIDE. Statement of Physicians Thut Pon tiff Is Progressing Satisfactorily Received With Reserve in Rome. ROME, April 13. There has been a. sudden change for tne worse In tha condition of Pope Pius X. Notwith standing the reassurances of Professor Marchiafava, a careful watch is beinjr kept on the Vatican, and there is some doubt that the "satisfactory general condition" of the Pontiff, as reported by the doctors, is borne out by the facts. The temperature of the Pope, which throughout almost the whole day re mained at 97 degrees, in Itself Indicat ing depression and weakness, rose In the early evening to 100 and later to i02. The bronchial symptoms, which at the morning examination were found to be diminished, presented new and grave features tonight. The affected zone on the left side of the chest was further congested, with a possible area of con solidation one of the signs of pneu monia and the wounds within the bronchial tubes were more pronounced. Special Examination Ordered. The attending physicians ordered a special bacteriological examination of the sputum in order to ascertain whether it contained infectious mate rial and the nature of the detritus that threatens to block up the lungs. The ijarkert reports are bclns circu lated, one being' that the Pope is at the point of death, and that Father Agoti tlne Piffcrl, an Augustinian monk, bus been ordered to be In readiness to brins to the patient the last communion, this being the prerogative of his office. This appears to be an exaggeration of the situation, although undoubtedly the Pope's condition Is much worse, owing to the fact that he did not take sufficient rest today and overexertt-d himself, as he had done on previous occasions. This resulted in general prostration, elevation of the tempera ture and inability to retain even the lightest nourishment. Pope's Brother Arrives. - The. arrival in Rome tonight of An gelo Sarto, the Pope's brother, was in terpreted in some quarters as a certain sign that all hope had been abandoned. It was forgotten that Angelo Sarto left his own village on his journey to the holy city long before the present set back of the patient occurred In fact, when the condition of the Pope was greatly improved. Angelo was received with open arms by his sisters, who wish to gee the Pope surrounded by members of his own family. Professor Marchiafava's visit to the sickroom tonight lasted 40 minutes. When he left the Vatican he was be sieged for details, as the aggravation of the Pope's condition already was known, but he renewed his assurances that the situation was not grave. Correspondent Keep Watch. This statement being received with incredulity, the physician remarnou that if there were any real danger he would have remained at the Vatican or ould go there during the night, which he did not Intend to do. Still uncon vinced, the correspondents arranged to watch his house to ascertain whether he returned to the atlcan Deiore morn ing. The Spanish Ambassador today vis ited Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, and inquired regard ing the progress of the Pope in tne name of King Alfonso. At the same time, he said, he had been delegated to express the feelings of the Spanish royal family for' the kind thoughtf ill ness of the Holy Father, who, while ill and while the whole world was trem bling for his health, had sent his con gratulations to the King for his escape in the recent attempt against his life. Each change for the worse which has occurred in the Pope's condition has decreased the feeling of optimism' regarding his recovery, as it Is realized that each relapse withdraws something of the vital forces of the Holy Father. LUMBER DRIFTS TO BEACH No Indication Is Given as to Vessel Which Sends Wreckage Ashore. NEWPORT, Or., April 15. Large quantities of lumber and white cedar railroad ties have been coming ashore today along the ocean beach from the entrance to the harbor at Taquln head.
