Morris, in a sensational 507-mile flight, failed to win by 19 miles today from Oscar Brindley the National aerial competition for the Curtiss flying ma rine trophy, valued at $5000. and a prize of 11000. Brindley in his flight Wednesday covered 526 miles. He flew 10 hours, stopping twice for fuel. Morris cov ered 507 miles in 9 hours and 30 min utes. Twice today Morris had a miraculous escepe from death. Once he plunged into the sea and at another time he escaped by less than three feet from plunging head-on into a bank near Ca pestrano Point when he became con fused in a fog.

The National compe tition is held under the auspices of the Aero Club of America, OLD LAW IS NOT INVOKED (Continued From First Pa tte.) these automobiles and subpena them as witnesses," declared Mr. Duncan. "When the rases against the grocers come up, as they most certainly will, for we mean business, we will put the owners of the automobiles on the stand to testify under oath as to whether they bought goods. "1 guess they can't say we are rely ing on the evidence of "stool pigeons' to convict when these persons give their testimony." One of the watchers before a large Independent grocery store that did a big business yesterday took the num ber of an auto that stopped there. He noted that the driver went inside the store and that he came out later with four pumpkins and three boxes of ap-tles. "We looked up the license number of the auto and found its owner to be a prominent physician," said Mr. Duncan. 'Over the telephone, he admitted buy ing the pumpkins and the apples. He didn't like it when informed he would be called as a witness, but he will have to testify." Mr. Duncan said a large number of ismall groceries, usually open on Sun day, remained closed, yesterday, but that his men got five or six pictures of others that were open for business. Churches Aid Movement. "Members of two or three churches ; have been, helping me out. but there ' is no concerted action of that sort." he added. "This is not a religious : movement. but a busnesis move ment. However. If the grocers ; don't let up on this fight against the 'Sunday law, which they will find to !e absolutely valid. I'm afraid it will ;"uononqnd uosjjd am 'pu-Bfj V bu ; result In closing up everything." ; ; "These grocers who are fighting the law are on the wrong track, as they j trill find out," he emphasised. ! A bitter attack against Senator Kellaher, whom he characterized as a i criminal, a law-breaker and a friend of ' anarchy for -his efforts to knock out the Sunday blue law. and against oth ers including the Judge before whom Mr. Kellaher was tried, was made by the Rev. G. L. Tufts, superintendent of the Rest Day League in an address at the East Side Baptist Church yester day morning. Rev. Mr. Tufts Wants Quiet Day. The Rev. Mr. Tufts is working to Initiate for the next election a one-day's-rest-in-seven law, with Sunday as the general rest day, that if passed would impose an air-tight Sunday on the state. He has taken deep interest In the present effort to invoke the old Eunday-closing law. Declaring Sunday to be a dav set apart for worship and iuiet and that the movement for a rest-day in seven was National in its scope. Rev. Mr. Tufts added: "This movement will not infringe on the civil or religious liberties of any one, but is in accordance with the con stitution of the state, the foundation of which is religion, morality and education the corner stone of the state. "We have seen the past week the spectacle of a man elected State Sen ator convicted of violating the Sunday-closing law,' continued the preacher, "of a man elected by the people to make and enforce the laws of the state, openly defying the law. Use of Recall Suggested. "This man was a convicted criminal and received a. minimum sentence from a friendly court, who denounced the 1 ........ . . . .

He was indorsed for the posi tion by Presidents Foster, of Reed, and Jordan, of Stanford, Dean Russell, of Columbia, and Dr. Joseph Swain, ex-president of the National Educational Association.

He is a graduate of Indiana and Columbia Universi- ties and was professor of educa- ? tion at the 1912 Summer School of the University of California. men who were trying to enforce the law as 'stool pigeons.' This is certain ly a critical condition in this state when men who are trying to uphold and enforce the law are characterized as stool pigeons by. the court. "This man admitted that he had broken the law and was a criminal It would seem that here is an oppor tunity for the use of the recall, when a State Senator breaks the law, and openly defies that law and receives the friendly aid of the court which im posed the lowest possible nenaltv " By "a friendly court," Rev. Mr. Tufts reierrea to District Judge Davton. who fined Senator Kellaher $5. this fine being increased, at Mr. Kellaher's request, to $23 so he could appeal to tne circuit jourt. Of 18 groceries on Grand avenue Rev. Mr. Tufts told the church con gregation, only two abided by the Sunday-closing law. The other 16. he said did Sunday business in open defiance or the law. He declared that many of the 16 kept open because other erroeers did so and they had to protect their business ana property. Religions Side of Crusade Shown. He brought orut the religious Bide of the blue-law Sunday crusade when he said: "It is the duty of church members and others who want to see the law enforced to purchase only of those who close up on Sunday and respect the law and refuse to trade with those who do keep open on Sunday. "Out in Piedmont," he illustrated, "the members of the Presbyterian Church refused to trade at the grocery store if it kept open on Sunday, and now that grocer keeps closed on Sun day, but does more business than ever because of the actions of the Presby terians. "We need a wholesome law and that is what we are seeking in Oregon through the initiative. The object of this law is to protect the property of men who respect the law." Such a law, he insisted, will not in fringe on the rights of anyone. "It will recognize that streetcars must run seven days," he said, "but will provide that the conductors and motormen work six days. We must have electricity to light this church on Sunday, but the Sunday closing law will not interfere with these continu ous businesses, but will provide that the men shall work six days out of the seven only." Initiative Measure to Be Drawn. He announced that a committee of representatives from the churches and other organizations will meet today to draw up an initiative measure for a Sunday closing law to be placed on the ballot at the next general election. Si S. Rich, owner of two large Port land retail cigar stores, has been made a member of the committee appointed at the mass meeting of grocers and other retailers held at the East Side Library last Thursday night to make plans for fighting the Sunday blue law. Mr. Rich was appointed to the committee as a representative cigar dealer. Other members of the committee are R. L. Merrick, of the Oregon Retail Merchants' Association: Dan Kellaher Ben A. Bellamy and Charles E. Munro' grocers. HILLSBORO STORES' CXOSED So Attempt Made in Washington County to Violate Sunday Law. HILLSBORO. Or.. Oct. 31. (Special.)

Whatever the bondholders may lose by this concession we trust they will gain by the good will and co-operation of the creditors. "The North Coast Power Company is not controlled by the stockholders or officers of the Washington-Oregon Cor poration, but is organized by the se cured creditors of the corporation. The management and policies of the new company will be in the hands of en tirely new interests. Herbert L.

Merchants everywhere tell our 800 salesmen that business is booming Farmers have had two record crops, at big prices, with big demand at home and abroad. Stocks of manufactured material are short, and labor is in great demand. Exports largely exceed imports. Factories are busy, many work' ing overtime. More freight cars are needed, and steamers are taxed to capacity. People are living better, and spending their money more freely. This country has the best money in the world, and more of it than ever before. Such a combination of favorable circumstances never has occurred before, and probably will never occur again. Billions of dollars are passing over the merchants9 counters. The people who spend this money want the best service. They demand it in all kinds of stores, from the smallest to the largest.
