BY BOSCOB FAWCETT.
Stuns by Tuesday's defeat, the Port
land champs yesterday turned on Oak
land, with Higginbotham in the saddle,
and gave them a trimming that will
stick in Oak crops until San Francisco
Bay freezes over.
Score. Portland 13. Oakland 0.
Higginbotham captured Liege, Brus
sels and Antwerp in one feci swoop,
and while he was setting the visitors
down in one. two. three order Portland
was hammering Exough and Christian
all over the grounds.
The big German allowed only three
hits, as against 20 for the Mackmen.
Lober Make Ilomrr.
Included in the 20 were a homer by
Lober. a triple by Hodgers and doubles
by Kores. Davis. Fisher. Bancroft and
Lush. Lober came back strong with
thre hits and a walk, and Rodgers
again demonstrated that he is there
three ways from the jack by driving
out four hits.
Rodgers started the scoring in the
Initial inning with a drive to right
after Prough had walked Bancroft and
wild-nitched him to second.
Prough lasted until the third inning,
tn-hon Mnnai-er Christian jerked him
with three runs already across and
Fisher on second base. The score then
was 6-0. Christian tried to stop the
assault, but it was no use.
Several "Subs" Csed.
Toward the close both managers
used numerous substitutes so as to
conserve their stars.
McCredte isn't taking any chances of
being nosed out by Venice, while Man
ager Christian views with trepidation
the rush of the Sacramento team. The
Wolves have won only four games In
the last 21 played and they may yet
wedge the Commuters out of the cellar.
Davis was back in the game at third
and McCredte sent Kores out to fill in
at right field during Ryan's and Speas"
Incapacitation.
"Hlg" Goes to Top of League.
HIgglnbotham's victory boosted him
to the top of the league in number of
victories won. Thus far Hlg has cap
tured 21 games and lost 12. Hig fin
ished last Fall with 21 wins and 14 'de
feats, so it looks as if the big right
hander is In for a banner season.
Yesterday was ladies' day and around
8000 fannettes witnessed the slaughter.
An incidental feature was the banish
ment of Jack Killilay from the Oak
bench for oratories against Umpire
Hayes. Score:

The surprise today was the poor play

Evans had been playing exceptionally
good golf, winning the Western title at

FOOTBALL STAR NEAR DEATH
Anderson Admits Close Call to Loss
of Life in Logging Camp.
Just how close the Oregon Aggies
came to losing one of their star football
players only coworkers of Ed Ander
son, husky center of last year's crew,
can realize.
Andy has been passing the Summer
on a logging crew near Bridal Veil han
dling the rigging adjustments. Satur
day a huge log got beyond the control
of the crew, smashed and tore its way
downhill and struck Anderson a glan
cing blow as ho attempted to dodge to
safety.
The blow knocked the football star
unconscious and broke the little finger
oh his right hand but he was able to
navigate and was a Portland visitor
yesterday en route to his home at
Albany.
"I had a remarkable escape from
death," said he. "But I guess I am all
right now."
Andy has orders to report at Newport
September 5 for the opening of college
football training. Coach Stewart is
figuring on switching him to tackle.
Andy weighs about 180 pounds and has
the proper dash and build for tho ideal
tackle.

' RULE TO
ABSENT DIES
Lawmakers Show No Disposi

Tluose Not Present.
PROVISION OBEYED ONCE
Representative Donovan, of Connec
ticut, Is Thorn in Side of Those
Who "Escape" by Calling At
tention to Their Return.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. While ab
senteeism in the present session of
Congress has been more flagrant than
in any other session In recent years,
there Is no disposition on the part of
STATES BY HORSEBACK.
nlanil Empire City j
the responsible authorities, either in
the Senate or House, to enforce the
provision of law which would deprive
members of their salaries for the days
they fall to appear in their seats.
Among the Congressmen, the law
makers of the Government, strange as
it may seem, this law against absent
eeism is regarded and referred to as a
"dead letter." Yet no steps have been
taken to bring about its repeal and
probably no steps ever will be taken
to that end. Furthermore, it admittedly
is the most abused law on the statute
books. In the Senate, should there be
an inclination in that direction, the en
forcement of the law would be a sim-
1 .. ,.Hn, hut in thfl "House, with its
membershlp of 435, to enforce the law
fairly would require a clerical starr 01
from five to ten persons
Filibuster la Result.
Failure of observance of the law is
directly responsible for the "filibuster."
Frequently matters of legislation which
would have received favorable consid
eration with a full membership present
have gone to defeat because one man
was enabled, through the deadly point
of no quorum to run things to siyt
himself. The law against absenteeism
makes it incumbent on the secretary ot
the Senate and the sergeant at arms of
the House to see that it is enforced,
but no penalty is prescribed against
these officials should they neglect this
duty. The law, which is section 40 of
the Revised Statutes, says:
"The Secretary of the Senate and the
Sergeant at Arms of the House, re
spectively, shall deduct from the
monthly payments of each member or
delegate the amount of his salary for
each day that he has been absent from
the Senate or.iHouse, respectively, un
less such member or delegate assigns
as his reason for such absence the
sickness of himself or of some member
of his family."
Only once in the many years it has
been on the statute books has any
effort been made to enforce the law.
That was In the Fifty-second Congress.
The absence of members from the
House then, as at the present time, in
tefered with the transaction of the
public business. Speaker Crisp issued
orders to the sergeant at arms to
carry out the law, and that official
did as he was instructed. The result
was that members who had gone out
of town came scurrying hack to the
Capitol, and those who had grown in
different about attending the daily ses
sions became more punctual.
Law Now Dead Letter.
Since that time the law has been ex
actly as it is now characterized, a dead
letter. A fiction of the Senate is that
every member is present on every roll
call. This Is through a system of pair
ing. A Senator of opposite political
faith or known to be against the meas
ure or motion to be voted upon is
matched against the absent Senator, or,
for that matter, both may be away at
the same time. The Congressional Rec
ord shows the fact that they were
"paired."
It is different on the House side,,
with its unwieldly membership. It
would be an impossible task, even if
the pairing clerks were mind-readers,
to match the absent members against
each other and make them appear in
the Record as being in favor or against
those propositions which are put to a
vote.
Should it be decided suddenly to en
force the law against the absent mem
bers a most perplexing problem would
be presented to determine who has
been here and who has not been here.
There have been possibly more than
a hundred rollcalls in the last year,
but these do not give accurate records
in a large number of cases. Many
members were present at the rollcalls.
hut did not vote, some were detained
in committee meetings and were
granted the special privilege of being
absent through resolutions adopted by
the House. Others were on Congres
sional commissions and out of town.
Manifestly it would not be fair to en
force the law against these.
Leave Chronic With home.
There are many members of the
House who make a practice of asking
for leave of absence when they are
called out of town. On these occasions
they usually give "on account of im
portant business" as their reason for
going away. Prompted no doubt by
loftv motives, it is probable that most
of these members are ignorant of the
fact that they have placed themselves
on reiord as being absent contrary to
the law and that they are the only
ones against whom it would be an easy
CONGRESS
DOCK
matter to enforce the law.
Recently the veteran member of the
House from Ohio, General Isaac R
.Sherwood, set a new precedent in a
request for leave of absence for five
days to repair "vital energy. The re
quest was granted by unanimous con
sent but Minority Leader Mann an
nounced that if any other member
wanted' to repair his energy he would
have to wait until adjournment.
While Mr. Donovan made it a point
to pester Mr. Hobson at every oppor
tunity, he would also take a fling at
other offenders in the absentee line.
As an example of his methods he re
cently obtained permission to speak for
half an hour.
Speech "Falae Alarm."
"Mr. Speaker." said he. "I desire to
direct my remarks to the gentleman
from Washington. Mr. Humphry. I o
not see the gentleman. Is he in the
House?"
"No," said a member.
"Then I will talk to the gentleman
from Wyoming. Mr. Mondell. Where is
he?"
"Not here, either," volunteered a col
league." "Surely the distinguished leader of
the minority, Mr. Mann. Is around.
somewhere, and I will direct my re
marks to him."
"He is not here"
It happened to be one of the ex
tremely rare times when Mr. Mann was
away.
"How about the gentleman from new
York, Mr. Payne?" asked Mr. Donovan.
"Gone to the ball game," replied a
member.
"Well, well!'' exclaimed Mr. Dono
van. "I guess I can't speak. It seems
that all the leaders on that side ar6
away. Where are they? Why are they
not here attending to the public busi
ness? Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance
of my time."
As a matter of fact Mr. Donovan had
no speech to make. ' He adopted this
way of showing up some of the ab
sentees.
ROOM ASSIGNED TO DOG
POLICE HOCNU ONLY MM' M
HOMOBBD AT WALDORF-ASTORIA.
Big Belgian Pet That Had Saved Ufa
of Consui-Oeneral at Santo Do
mlnsto Looks Pleased.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. William Walk
er Smith, United States Consul-General
at Santo Domingo, to the amazement
of the Waldorf-Astoria employes, came
down from his rocffti on the seventh
floor with a big Belgian police dog
which was given to him when he was In
Europe. It Is said to be the first time
that a dog of the size has evor
been above the first floor of the hotel
with the conseit of the management.
However, it was explained to everybody
that Mr. Smith's police hound had a
room all to himself In the Waldorf.
That's another thing which tho dog can
boast about in later years.
Edward French, room clerk, was on
duty on Monday when .Mr. Smith went
up to the desk of the Waldorf. He said
that he wanted to stop there, but was.
in a quandary concerning what ne
would do with the dog. Mr. French
said the animal looked to him as if he
ought to be in a stable. But Mr. Smith
had no sucli thought.
"That dog," said Mr. Smith, "saved
me from drowning." and he intimated
the dog had a right to tho best there
Is. He said that the animal was a
wonder, and that he was very, very
fond of him.
"Let's put him in the porter's depart
ment," said Mr. French.
That did not appeal to Mr. Smith. By
that time the big animal was comfort
ably squatting on the floor, apparently
taking an interest in the proceedings
and wondering how his master was to
get out of the difficulty. Mr. Smith
talked of dogs and dogs. He said that
his dog was a well-behaved dog, and
that he did not bark at night, and he
would be perfectly disconsolate if he
had to sleep so far away from his
master.
Mr. French conferred with H. L.
Stewart, assistant manager, and be
cause they liked the looks of the dog
it was decided that the animal was en
titled to a room all to himself. The
bed was moved out of the room and the
dog got fine sleeping quarters with a
special mat in an lnsiue room rigni iic.m
to his master's. Mr. Smith is said to
have told the clerks that he and his
dog had slept beautifully. The dog
looked gratefully at Mr. Stewart and
Mr. French.

Money Summons I'hjslclan In
stead of Witnesses.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. By a margin
of three minutes, it has been learned,
Miss Mary Reddington, who for many
years has maintained a boarding house
at No. 2373 Eighth avenue, missed be
coming heiress to $30,000 through the
death of Albert E. Lauten. known as
a prosperous bicycle dealer on M asn
i i.eton Heights for many years.
Mr. Lauten was 45 years old. He
lived Ir. Miss Reddlngton s home, at tho
Eighth avenue address, and maintained
.i hicvele shop at 193 4 Amsterdam ave
nue. He was known to have a large
sum ir. cash savings, although his hold
ings In real estate were small. On Fri
day he was taken ill and went home.
He went to his room and called Miss
Reddington, who was sitting In the
parlor with her sister. The two went
to his room.
"I do not believe I am going to live
long. Miss Reddington." said Mr. Lau
ten. "1 have got more than $30,000 In
cash In bank and I am going to give
every cent to you. You know I have
been at odds with my relatives. You
have been like a mother to me. Now.
you hurry out and got some witnesses,
because I want to make a will und
haven't much time."
Miss Reddington, who is about 60
years old. hurried out. but Instead of
looking tor witnesses sho summoned a
physician. When the physician arrived
Mr.. Lauten said to him:
"I want you to bear witness. Doctor,
that I want Miss Reddington to have
all my money."
The physician administered medi
cines, but saw that his patient was ex
tremely 111. He hurried out himself,
obtained some will blanks and got two
witnesses besides Mrs. Reddington's
sister. He hurried back, but before
Mr. Lauten could say a word he
breathed his last. With no will, Mls.s
Reddington will not be able to get a
cent of the money unless Mr. Lauten's
brother and sister agree to share with
her for her attention to their brother
during his life.
Mr. Lauten's brother, Charles E. Lau
ten, Is a real estate man.
