THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1915. ORE AS e HOLD ON TITLE With Speed of 40 Miles for One Lap Oregon .Wolf Is Defeated Again. TWO BOATS ARE IMPAIRED Three Entries in Free-for-All Heat Oet Off- Together, but Winner fchows Her Superiority lYom Start Ball Is Given. ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 3. (Special.) The speedboat Oregon Kid. owned by Wilber Smith and driven by him and Herman Zapf, will probably hold the Pacific Coast International champion chip for another year. That was prac tocally decided this morning when she beat the Oregon Wolf in the second heat of the free-for-all contest, and, barring an accident which would pre vent her finishing the third heat to morrow, cinched the championship. The Kid now holds 10 points, while the Wolf, her only dangerous an tagonist, has but six, a decided ad vantage at this tstage of the game. The weather conditions today were perfect for racing and the water was even smoother than yesterday, every thing being: ideal for some record breaking, and this -unquestionably would have occurred had the Kid been crowded to the limit. As it was she ran one lap at the rate of 40 miles an hour, just seven-tenths of a mile below the record on the local course, -a record that was made by the Kid in 1913. Vogler Boy Still I nder Water. Hard luck which befell two of the racers yesterday interfered materially with today's contests. The Vogler Boy is still at the bottom of the river and the Red Nose, which was badly pound ed and severely strained in yesterday's races, was not in good shape and was scarcely able to finish the heat in the 16-foot class. The Lawana also developed a streak of hard luck. She won the heat in the 16-foot class and entered the free-for-all, but was forced to drop out before completing the first lap. The first race of the morning was the second heat of the race for 16-foot-ers, three times around the- short course, or nine miles. The only entries "were the Lawana and Red Nose. They got off together, but the former soon swung into the lead and crossed the line at the end of the first lap 32 sec onds ahead of her rival. On the second lap the Lawana spurted, running at the rate of 30.9 miles an hour, and gained nearly half a lap on the Red Nose. She kept this lead to the end, finishing in 18 minutes and 16 sec onds, with the Red Nose 3 minutes and seconds in the rear. The Lawana's average speed for the nine miles was 29.6 miles an hour, Just equal to the best lap made yesterday by the Vogler Boy when it won the first heat. Cannery Entries Dlnqnalifled. The handicap cannery tender race in which there were four entries was won by the Altoona. with the Inde pendence second. The S. Schmidt & Co. and the- Globe, which finished first, were disuualif ied for beating their try cut speed more than 3 per cent. There were but three entries in the second heat of the free-for-all race and but two of them finished. The starters were the Oregon Wolf. Oregon Kid and the Lawana, and the distance was 20 miles, or four times around the five-mile course. The start was one of the prettiest ever seen on the local course and there was scarcely six Inches difference in the bows of the racers when they crossed the line and sped away for the upper buoy. The Kid, however, was apparently out for blood and she fairly Jumped out of the water as she plunged ahead in a ter rific spurt that sent a sheet of foam and spray high into the air. With the first quarter of a mile she obtained a good lead, but she held to her knit ting and finished the first lap in 7:30, or at the rate of exactly 40 miles an hour, the best time made thus far this year. Wolf Haw Knglne Tronlile. The Wolf did not make so good a showing, as her engines were not be having properly, and much of the time only six of her nine cylinders were ex ploding. At the end of the first lap the Kid slowed down and lost a mile an hour on each successive lap until the last one. when she dropped to slightly more than a 32-mile rate. At the close the Wolf was more than half a lap behind, while the lawana had dropped out before making one run around the course. The Oregon Kid's time for the 20 miles was S2-.T2; or at the rate of 37 miles an hour, much slower than yesterday. The time for Oregon Wolf was 38:48, or at a rate of 26:75 miles an hour. In the sailing cruiser race this after noon there were three entries, the Wauna. Halycon and Columbian, all members of the Oregon Yacht Club. The Halycon came in first, but was dis qualified for crowding the Wauna out of the course and the latter was given the race. The Queen's and Admiral's ball, the main social feature of the Regatta, was held tonight. BIG CnOWl) VTI.L LEAVE TODAY Portland AYill Send Excursion to Attend Astoria Regatta.

EXPLOSION LIKELY CAUSE- Members of Naval Board of Inquiry, However, Decline to Discuss Nature of Accident Which Resulted in Deaths. HONOLULU. Sept. 3. Ten more bodies were found today in the hull of the United States submarine F-4, crowded in the engine-room, when a hole was cut through the steel plates to effect an entrance. One body was identified as that of Ivan L. Mahan, machinist's mate, of Lima, O. ' Members of the naval board of in quiry declined to discuss the question of whether the finding of so many bodies in the compartment indicated the nature of the accident which caused the vessel to sink in Honolulu Bay in March, with 22 officers and men on board. It was suggested by some of those working on- the submarine that an ex plosion elsewhere in the vessel caused the men to seek refuge in the engine room. So far 13 bodies have been taken from the hold of the submarine. Others, many in a fragmentary state and bad ly decomposed, have been located cov ered with wreckage of the interior. SOFIA'S DESIRES NOT MET OTHER BAL.lv AX STATES AGREE ON CONCESSIONS POSSIBLE. All Are In reconcilable to Pretentions of Bulgaria, Which Is Thought Delmrlns Day- of Action. ROM -3, via Paris, Sept. 3. Revision of the treaty of Bucharest has been agreed to explicitly by Serbia, Kou- mania and Greece, according" to reports received here, but it is said these coun tries are not wiUing to satisfy entirely Bulgaria's desire for territorial com pensation for participating' in the war. Bulgaria s pretensions apparently are irreconcilable with what her neigh bors are willing to grant and the im pression is gaining ground that she is prolonging the negotiations with the aim of postponing the day when she must reach a decision. The treaty of Bucharest which ended the Balkan conflict following the vic tory over Turkey was signed August 10. 1913, between Bulgaria and Kou bania, Greece and Montenegro. By the treaty the Roumanian Bulgarian frontier starts from the Danube above Turtukai and ends on the Black Sea south of Ekrane. The Ser bo-Bulgarian frontier starts from the Patarica Mountain, continues along the old Turco-Bulgarian frontier and the water shed between the Varda and the Eturma and ends at the mountain of Belashictza. The Greek-Bulgarian frontier starts on the crest of the Belashictaa ranee and ends at the month of the River Nestor, on the Aegean Sea.

Conference With Party Leaders) In East Expected to Mean Washing ton Executive Will Run. OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 3. (Special.) Governor Lister will return to Olym pia tomorrow from his three weeks' trip to California and the East, his re turn being dated some days earlier than was anticipated. Politicians ex pect that the executive will shortly let jus own political plans become known. During Mr. Lister's absence,- several Republicans have announced their Gub ernatorial candidacies, and this fact, it is believed here, may induce the exec utive to break his silence on the ques tion of his candidacy for re-election. Several months ago. Governor Lister, in denying a report that he would seek the Democratic nomination for United States Senator, stated he would either be a candidate for re-election or would retire to private life. Report that on his way to Boston, to attend the Governors' conference. Gov ernor Lister stopped at Washington, D. c, and other points, to consult Na tional leaders of his party, has led to the belief that the executive will an nounce his candidacy for re-election shortly after his return home.
