TRAIL IN CITY IS HIDDEN
Speed Contest With Death. Affect
ing Large Estate Is Reported,,
Explanation of Trip From
-. Somewhere In Canada.
Under utmost secrecy M. L'. Kline,
man of mystery, dashed into Portland
last night at 6:25 o'clock fter a mad
and mysterious race against death from
somewhere In Canada, on two special
trains, to see his sister who is re
ported dying in Portland. When the
train reached Portland the party of
four whisked by all Inquirers and
Jumped Into a waiting automobile and
disappeared. They refused-to disclose
any information about their mission.
The first .special train was taken at
Kevelstoke, B. C. on the Canadian Pa
cific line and cost probably about $3000.
The arrangements were made by tele
graph -as Mr. Kline and. his party were
speeding westward through Canada. on
the regular- Canadian Pacific train.
The first special carried him and his
party to Sumas, Wash., on the bound
ary line between -Canada and Wash
ington, and there the Northern Pacific
train was engaged at S:3D o'clock yes
terday morning. The run was made
with practically no stops on through to
Portland, the longest stop being in
Tacoma. The Northern Pacific special
from Sumas to Portland cost him $1000,
which with Incidentals is believed, to
have brought the cost of the special up
to $5000.
While the train was rushing toward
Portland the word was flashed along
the line that it was a race-wlth-death
special. Rumor had it that a large es
tate was involved and that the Klines
had spared no expense in reaching
Portland quickly- as possible. Secrecy
enshrouded the trip from the time
Kevelstoke was left until the party dis
appeared tn the busy traffic about the
Union station in Portland. No report
of any Klines was shown by the hos
pital registers.
The special train over the Northern
Pacific rushed them through Seattle
and on to Tacoma, where engines were
changed. Engine 213, with Engineer
ti. O. Portrud and Conductor Dan Nee,
finished the trip. They left Seattle
ut 3 -clock P. M. and reached Port
land at 6:L'S P. M.
As noon as the train. stopped in Port
land the party with their baggage hur
ried through the Union station brush
ing aside all inquirers and took to an
automobUe.
M. L. Kline, well known in the
plumbing business in Portland, denied
last night having any knowledge of the
trip, or of the Kline family concerned.
NEW BATTLE REPORTED
AMERICANS - SAID TO HAVE DE
FEATED MEXICANS.
Many Reported ., Killed and . Wounded
Near CarrUal and ' 40 De
clared Captured.
FL. PASO, Tex., . June 27. (Special.)
Forty Carranza soldiers were cap
tured by two squadrons of the Eleventh
Cavalry in a battle 60 miles from Co
Ionia Dublan last night, according to
a r report received here today. The
Americans were searching for surviv
ors of the Carrizal battle when at
tacked' by 1000 or more Carranza
troop.. The report of the battle is
-unofficial - and was brought here by
an "American ranchman, who saw the
prisoners being taken under guard to
Colonia. Dublan. The ranchman says
h counted 40 of the captive Mexicans.
The unofficial American reports came
through the American ranchman, who
Is said to have made his report direct
to Fort Bliss. All indicate that a com
paratively small body of American cav
lry late yesterday was attacked by a
large' body of Mexican-troops on- the
Santa Maria river 50 miles from Colo
nia Iublan and between-the American
Army- base there and the scene of the
surprise attack at Carrizal. The Mexi
cans, attacking in force and without
preliminary warning. or threats, were,
according to reports received, repulsed
with- severe losses. Many of the Mex
icans were killed and- wounded and all
'fled from the destructive American fire.
Vniu-d States . cavalrymen pur
suing the Mexicans are said " to have
ove-taUea -49 or 60 of them close to
"Carrizal- and to have made prisoners of
them almost within rifle shot distance
of the' main Mexican army moving out
C"f" Villa 'Aiumada. If any Americans
were killed or wounded in the engage
ment,, the ' ranchman was not able to
learn of them. In the returning Army
truck tnat passed him on the desert
lie says . there were no wounded Americana.

PLANS FOR 1917 MADE
SELLWOOD ASTBlTIOrS TO WW ROSE
CEJiTER HONORS.
Rose and floral Society Starts Plan to
Beautify Grand Avenue With
Hedaea of Rose Bashes.
The Sellwood Rose and Floral Society
already is in the field to win first place
in the Rose Center for the Rose Fes
tival of 191". and at a meeting Monday
night preparations were started for
that purpose. There was a large at
tendance and 26 -new members were
added to the roll.
The Rose Center was discussed, and
while the society is satisfied with the
decision for 1916, it was the sense of
the meeting that in future fine roses
should be given all the consideration,
and not outside decorations. A sug
gestion may be made to the Rose Fes
tival management only to pay the ex
penses incurred by the communities in
making exhibits, and to give premiums
instead of cash prizes. It was contended
that this would result in a contest of
merit for honors alone, and not for the
cash prizes now offered.
It .was decided to hold a sweet pea
show in the Sellwood Y. M. C. A. rooms
within the next few weeks, and th.e
officers of the society were authorized
to proceed with the arrangements for
this exhibit.
The society took up the question of
decorating with rose bushes the section
of Grand avenue that . encircles City
View Park, and passing along the east
side of Sellwood Park. Mrs. Harriet
Hendee, president of the society, was
authorized to appoint a committee to
take up the matter at once. It was de
cided to plant the roses along the
boulevard next Kali. The society voted
to . hold regular meetings on the last
Monday in each month. To promote the
cultivation of roses and flowers of all
kinds in Sellwood is one of the main
objects of the organization.
PLAN FOR GUARD GIVEN UP
Industrial and Fraternal Parade to
Be Held on Fourth.
Although it is practically certain
now that no part of the Oregon Na
tional Guard wl'.l be on hand for
Fourth of Juljj the -committee stiil
hop s to stage a big parade. It will
be along civic. Industrial and fraternal
lines. The Guard had been counted on
for a big military feature .in the pa
rade. As many military features as pos
slb -j will be included, however, -among
them a contingent of veterans of past
wars. The Honor Guard, a new mili
tary organization of women, also will
participate. .
CHURCH MEETING CALLED
Westminster Congregation to Con
sider Pastor's Resignation.
A congregational meeting of the
Westminster Presbyterian Church, East
Seventeenth and Schuyler streets, will
be held tomorrow night to consider
the resignation of Rev. Henry Mar
cotte. D. D.. the pastor, and the- ap
pointment of commissioners to petition
the Portland Presbytery -to dissolve the
pastoral relations of Dr. Marcotte and
the church. He already has accepted
the call - to the Second Presbyterian
Church of Kansas City. Mo.
Dr. Marcotte's resignation will not
take effect till September . This will
give the church time in which to take
up the question of a successor to Dr.
Marcotte. Many expressions of regret
have come to Dr. Marcotte that "he is
to leave. Oregon.
UTILITY KITS TO BE MADE
