Jlcehan Can 'Eal" KrnTosky in r- Two Mouthfuls, He S?js. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. .Tommy' Tracey, former Australian middleweight champion and last week appointed by the Portland boxing com missioners to be official matchmaker for all future boxing smokers to be held in this city, had his first taste of trying to pair up the scrappers yes terday when he ran afoul of Jack Fa hie, manager of Jimmy Darcyi middle weight fighter. Tracey says the boxing commission ers are opposed to paying a percentage of the gate receipts to fighter?, but will give them all a flat amount. With this idea safely perched in his cranium Tracey managed to get a toehold on Jack Fahie's attention and proceeded to offer Fahie for the Roumanian middleweiijht'a services to fight either "Knockout" Kruvosky or "Battling" Ortega. Fahie could not see Tracey at all as long as $200 was the bait. Jack only last week turned down an offer of 1250 and expenses to go to San Fran cisco and fight Kruvosky before the allied promoters. Fahie asked for $350 and expenses for himself and protege and was turned down. He could have accepted $250, had he wished, for four three-minute rounds, but said "nothing doing." Inducement Not Inviting; Tracey is acting in good faith, in making- Darcy an offer of $200 foi training- expenses for six 3-minute rounds, but the inducement is not very inviting, especially when Fahie can take his scrapper to San Francisco and get $50 more and only have to fight four 3-minute rounds. Tracey has not given up hope of getting Fahie to change his mind. Another bout Tracey might decide to top his first fight card with is Johnny McCarthy and Joe Rivers. McCarthy has beaten all opponents he met in this city and is not averse to taking on any one Matchmaker Tracey gets for him. Rivers, on his only Portland appear ance, put the skids under Joe Benja min in 16 seconds, after which he made his exit for California and has never returned. Reports from the south say the Mexi can has gone back, but as Portland fight followers are hankering for a match between the two and they are the ones who shell out their hard1 earned cash to watch the scrappers, Tracey would not be making any mis take in giving the fans what they want in the line of fistic entertainment. Both Rivers and McCarthy pair up evenly in weight. Muff Branson Carries Chip. Muff Bronson is carrying a chip around on his shoulder these days. The mauling Johnny McCarthy gave his much-lighter opponent has taken none of The cockiness out of the Lithuanian, who is anxious to fight the best boy of his weight that Matchmaker Tracy can pear for him. Tracey is figuring on bringing Char He Moy north to fight Joe Gorman. Gorman fought the young Oaklander at the Kleventh-Street showhouse last year and they went six rounds to draw. Moy has been fighting with fair success in ana around, ban Fran cisco and wants to journey north to take on Gorman. It ought to be a good acrap. ... GoFsip has it in San' Francisco that Willie Meehan, .who recently was given a decision over Jack Dempsey in San P'rancisco. quit the Pantages circuit cold because his sparring partner. Kid McCoy, hogged all the limelight. Yes, Phat Willie is said to be" very much peeved. He said McCoy hit harder than they agreed and when Willie protested the Kid told him he could not help it. and that after almost 50" years of fighting it was too late to change his style, all of which aroused Willie's ire. Now that Meehan is back in Califor nia he is trying to meet "Knockout" Gruvosky in some dary alleyway. Kruvoskey is the one fellow Meehan is gunning for. It seems that when Kru vosky was in Portland he sent a wire south which read as follows: ;t that pighead (Meehan) for me." "I'll pighead Kruvosky if I ever meet him on the street or any other place." Meehan is reported to have said. "What rio you think of a roughneck like that talking about me? Let me run into that bird and there'll be no main event with Kruvosky on one side. I'll eat him in a couple of mouthfuls." Willie talks like a Marine. ALFRKD VOX KOLXITZ IS MAJOR Former Cincinnati Retl Balitosser to Get High Rank. The first major league ball player to be commissioned a major since the United States entered the big war is Alfred von Kolnitz. who saw service in both major leagues. Von Kolnitz first attracted attention as a member of the Cincinnati Reds and displayed much ability as a third baseman. Later he was a member of the Chicago White Sox. Major von Kolnitz retired voluntarily from baseball just before the United States got into the war. He is an at- ft if 1 mfism&&& a ;ti. " '".' " !a"f rH torney. and decided to devote all hi time to the law. As soon as the nation declared war he entered a training camp for officers and won a commis sion. He has done so well that he has been commissioned a major, and those who know him well predict that even "higher honors will be his before the close of the war. Juggler Knocks Out Abies. One of the cleanest knockouts -tn at the Goat Island NaTal station was registered the other afternoon when a Juggler let a bench slide off of his chin onto the dome of William Abies, time keeper. According to Abler watch, he was out 11 minutes. While the "gobs" were applying water and other restora tives the Juggler disappeared, which probably i counts for the absence of his name from the casualty lists of the last few days. " Curly Bortwell, the Juggler, who claimB he used to . be a circus attrac tion, was last seen running around the shores of the Island. In his . citemcnt he forgot the quarantine, but he may camp among the rocks until the quar antine order is cancelled. MRS, JAMES NIOOL WINS WOMEN'S GOLF CXCB CHAMPION SHIP DECIDED.

PETERSON SERIOUSLY HURT LIEUTENANT NOW AT VANCOU VER BARRACKS HOSPITAL. Condition of Fullback Injnred Game at Eugene Saturday Said to Be Slightly Improved. The condition of Lieutenant Hugh Peterson, who, while playing fullback for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club against the University of Oregon Saturday at Eugene, plowed his head hard into the knees of Vincent Jacob berger, and is supposed to have sus tained concussion of the brain, is re ported as being slightly improved by Lieutenant Mar.sfield, M. It. C, of Van couver Barracks Hospital, where Pe terson was taken immediately upon his arrival in Portland Saturday night. The Vancouver medical officers were reluctant to give out much information regarding Peterson's condition. It will be a few days yet before the exact ex tent of Peterson's injuries are known. He received a hard bump, according to those who watched the game, and an operation may be necessary. Peterson played a bang-up game un til he came in contact with Jacobber ger's knees. The accident could not be avoided. Jacobberger was playing secondary defense and Peterson was crashing through Oregon's line like a shot out of a cannon when he received the shock that rendered him uncon scious. Peterson is stationed Jn the Yeon building, at spruce division head quarters. He is a former star athlete of the University of Utah. "Toaghejr" Wing Returns Home. Weldon "Toughey" Wing, claimant of the Northwest featherweight champion ship and one of Portland's best bat tlers returned from Los Angeles yes terday, where he has taken part in 10 straight contests, winning seven of them, losing two, and fighting to a draw in the other.

YANKS BATTLE ON DESPITE PEACE TALK American Fighters Are Told of Wilson's Terms. HUNS' INTENTIONS DOUBTED It's Up to Heinle to Do the Quit ling." Favorite Expression of Soldiers on Front. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 13. 7:20 P. M. (By the Associated Press.) The synchronized crash of the big guns and the crackie of rifles and auto matics on the greater part of the Amer ican front today reflected the attitude of the Army regarding Germany's an nouncement that she is willing to ac cept President Wilson's peace terms. It was obvious that the forces of Ger many and the allies, particularly the allies, regarded that their part in the great drama still is to fight. Whether the news f their govern ment's announcement of willingness to concede President Wilson's terms has reached the Germans is not known, but the greater part of the American Army was given as early as possible all in formation in possession of general headquarters. From corps headquar ters the news was sent to division head quarters and from there to the men. Soldier. Keep en KlKhllaa;. The effect produced was what might have been expected. There were rare nstances of outbursts of enthusiastic cheering, but for every man who bo displayed his emotion there were a hundred whose only comment was an expression of doubt as to the honesty of Germany's intentions. There was nothing in the day's oper ations to convince .the Americans that the war was over. Before daylight the Germans displayed more than usual activity in shelling certain positions. As the day wore the fighting developed greater intensity west of the Meuse, but it was confined almost wholly to the artillery wings, the American fire finally attaining the proportions of a barrage, although it was not followed up by infantry attack. An increased percentage of defective ammunition appears to have been used by the Germans. Montfaucon was shelled rather heavily, but late today showed that 90 per cent of the missiles were "duds." C.loom in German Camp. The German prisoners in American hands were told early today of their country's peace offering. Instead of adding to their gloom, the general ef fect was to stimulate them to some liveliness. The good humor of the prisoners was lowered somewhat, at least in one cage, by the suggestion that they might be detained until French villages are restored. Along the roads and in the trenches the American soldiers were disposed to regard the peace development as a matter of course, one for satisfaction, but not for premature rejoicing. The fighting at the Marne and on the Soissons. St. Mlhiel and other sectors has developed in the American soldiers a grimness that it would be difficult to explain. There were few comments on the peace situation as the business of warfare proceeded. "If Heinle wants to quit, he can do so", but it's up to him to do the quitting," was the most general ex pression used' by the American troops. PARTY LEADER NEAR DEATH F. C. Harper, of Seattle, Said to Be in Critical Condition. SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 13. (Special.) F. C. Harper, chairman of the Repub lican State Central Committee and for mer Collector of Customs for the Wash ington District, who haa been in a hos pital here since October 2 last, suffer ing from septic poisoning, is in a criti cal condition tonight. Physicians say he has a 50-0O chance of recovery. While attending a. conference of Re publican State Central Committee chair men in Chicago early in September, Mr. Harper contracted a severe cold. Upon his return here he recuperated at hi country home, but upon resuming his duties as chairman of the state commit tee and his private business he col lapsed under the strain and haa been in a serious condition for more than a week. 200 DIE IN FOREST FIRE (Continued From Flrat Fig-) from the work of enemy agents were circulated here tonight. Definite con firmation was not available, but it was learned that incendiaries were driven away from a local shipyard when the fires in Duluth and Superior were burning at their height. Reports tonight told of widespread destruction, but it was evident that in moot cases the fury of the flames was spent. Dnlath Less Is Heavy. The Duluth Country Club and the Children's Home were total losses, and the fire swept Woodland and Lester Park, recreation centers, loss of which will amount to several thousand dol lars. The fire also destroyed one ap proach to the Interstate bridge, which connects Duluth "with Superior. Auto mobile parties dashed through a wall of flame to rescue 200 tuberculosis patients at the Nopeminsr Sanitarium, which was partially destroyed. The patients were taken out with great dif ficulty, fire having cut off the rescuers' retreat. It was said tonight probably none would suffer ill effects. Virginia is safe and Brainerd was untouched. However, peat bog fires now are said to menace the latter city. Bemidji reported only small loss. Great Ioes of life and property dam age is believed to have occurred In the Cloquet region, where a number of small towns have been destroyed and all semi-rural settlements virtually wiped out. Influenza spread Feared. Physicians feared an increase of in fluenza among refugees as the result of exposure and privation. Cloquet. Brookston. Brerator, Corona, Adolph, Thompson, Arnold, Moose Lake and Wright have been wiped out, ac cording to refugees. Scores of hamlets and hundreds of settlers' homes have been destroyed. The property and timber loss will total many millions of dollars. Passengers arriving on the Canadian Northern Railway from Virginia told of a miraculous escape from death as the train passed through flames on both sides of the track for a distance of 10 miles. Engineer Culette, with no warning of the blase, left Caribou and soon strick the red-hot trail. By driving headlong through the flames be arrived wttnin two miles of Harney, where a bridge had been wiped out. Postmaster Joe Boyd, of Caribou, and Conductor Stump walked to Harney, while the passengers fought the flames. Box cars and a switch engine was made up and returned to the bridge where the passengers were transferred. Ref agrees Taken to Dnlath. When the train left Harney only two buildings were standing in the town. Members of three families taken on as refugees, said that about 60 were saved and the remainder of the town's population, they believed, perished. As the train continued 35 farm buildings were counted by passengers, all a mass of flames. Some of tho finest cattle In the country in this stock-raising sec tion perished. Several women among the refugees were burned and one man who lost his all, suffering from burns. prayed that he might die. The section-house and station at Sundby waa a mass of flames. The first glimpse passengers got of the spreading blaze was at Shaw, where the train whizzed over burning culverts. Farm Bnlldlnaa la Flames. When the last of four Great Northern trains pulled out of Cloquet, carrying away the last SO inhabitants, every building in that city was ablaze except the railway station. Nine thousand people escaped after the Great North ern canceled all other rail service to go to their rescue. Albert Michaud. a special policeman, told a tragic i.:ory of the burning of Cloquet and of the mad rush of Its resi dents to escape. "At 6 o'clock last night a forest ran ger gave warning that unless the wind died down the townspeople would have to flee." said Michaud. "A thick pall of smoke hung over the town and at 7 o'clock the apecial trains were called. "The scene at the station was inde scribable. There came a rush of wind and the entire town was in flames. The rains pulled out with the fires Mazing closely behind them. Women wept and clung to their children, while others cried frantically for their missing ones. Bodies Found on Roads. The flames licked at the cars. Win dows in the coaches were broken by the heat. The engineers and firemen al ternately stoked to give the boilers all the steam they could stand. Other trains were hurriedly made up of flat cars, boxcars, anything that would roll. But even then not all got away". There are many dead In Clo quet." Cloquet was a town or about 7nn population. More than 700 were brought to Duluth and Superior from there. Information brought in by rescue par ties tonight Indicated that nearly 100 bodies have been found on roads lead ing to Dnluth. Several burned automo biles filled with bodies were passed. rescuers declared. Other bodies are be ing brought in from every village and hamlet stricken by the galc-drlven flames. Recreation Centers Damaged. The list of the dead will not be defi nitely compiled for days, perhaps weeks. Hundreds of panic-stricken people nave gathered about numerous lakes in the burned aefa and those reported miss ing may be among them, m There is no corr."r.:;y within a ra dius of 30 miles that has not sustained damage and each has Its quota of dead and Injured. Kire first started at Cloquet when brush fires spread to a lumberyard. It quickly spread to four other lumber yards and then the business places in tho vicinity of the yards. Kvery available whistle was blown bells were rung and finally runners were sent from door to door warning the people to save themselves. Hun dreds flocked to the Great Northern station where a train awaited them. It was lammed to capacity and steamed out. MOOSE LAKE. Minn.. Oct. 13. Adju tant-General W. K. Rhlnow. of St. Taul. here to supervise relief work In the devastated North Country, estimated tonight that more than 300 lives were lost In Moose I.ake and us lmme diate vicinity. Between 300 and 400 caskets have been ordered shipped here by the Adjutant-General for dls tribution in this district. Three Improvised morgues In Moose Lake buildings which escaped the flames hold the bodies of 80 victims Ceneral Rhlnow said, and many of them are charred beyond recognition. Bodies of 17 men, women and chil dren were found In a cellar four miles west of here. On another farm, two miles west, 14 more bodies were taken from a well where fire-driven unfor tunates sought safety from the flames, only to perish by drowning. The fire, which burned an area miles square around Moose Lake, was being brought under control. Relief work is well organized, he said, and all Immediate wants are supplied. Tracks to Gather Dead- Ten motor trucks early tomorrow will be sent out in all directions to gather up the dead and injured and bring them here. Home guardsmen from surround ing towns will aid in the work, al though they have been on duty con tinuously since the fire broke out "The country for miles around Moose Lake is in smouldering ruins," said General Rhinow. "perhaps six or seven buildings are standing here and there, but all else is desolation. On the roads wa traversed to reach there we saw erased settlers pacing about aimlessly generally too stunned to talk. The whole situation beggars description." Orders were issued to all railroad not to sell tickets to anyone bound for the fire-swept region not authorized to go there. This order is intended to ba sightseers and curious persons who would hamper the relief work. Bodies Filed in Bnlldlng. Every hour adds to the horror of the disaster and additional names to th list of dead. At Moose Lake an Associated Pres correspondent saw 73 bodies piled in fire-gutted buildings. On a road leading out of Moose Lake at least'100 bodies were strewn here and there. A relie worker reportd that in a root cllar be tween Moose Lake and Kettle River there were 30 bodies piled in a heap. Reports received here late tonight said Cass Lake and Grand Rapids, on the western edge of the fire zone, were out of danger, due to the heroic work of citizens. Alleged Reckless DrUcr Held., Scott McKellar. driver of an automo bile, was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff Coulter at 1-argo and Williams streets, and charged with driving a car while intoxicated. Roy Crandall. Ros- coe hiolman and Harlow hitsett, tha other occupants of the machine, were booked at tlfe police station and charged with being intoxicated. Captain Injured by Fall. .

SPEED NECESSARY TO WIN Pacific Porta Said to Hold Impor tant Place in Minds of AH Transportation Heads. Pacific ports hold an important place n the minds of all Government ship ping and transportation heads, and If Portland does not take advantage of he opportunity to make Its harbor a ital link in the general system, the ault will be her own. This is the big message brought bark from th East by G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer of the Commission of Public Docks, after a month of conferences nd Interviews with administrative powers in Washington. Philadelphia and Boston. Quite naturally, Mr. Hegardt must divulge his more important findings to his Huperiors before they can be dig closed to the public, but he hesitated not at all last night to declar that the Port of Portland has before It an op portunity pregnant with possibilities for the future. He made it plain that little will te done by the United States Shipping Board and its auxiliaries for he port city that aloes not jump in Im mediately and start doing what it can for itself. Fpeeal Xreeesarr te win. 'The men I had to deal with. aald he, "have no time to waste unless you have a definite proposition to talk. There's no use springing generalities on them. That old saying. "God helps those that help themselves,' exactly describes the situation. To get the attention of the Shipping Board offi cials, you've got to show that you can deliver the goods and that what you contemplate fits in with the National scheme of things." It's a wonderful and gigantic pro gramme for development of ocean trade that the United States is now building. according to Mr. Hegardt. 'It's no secret, he said, -that the United States counts on having a fleet of 25,000.000 tons by the end of the war. Tou can see what this means when you know that Great Britain's tonnage in 1913 was but 13,000,000 tons. Every worthy port Is to be devel oped, if it wills to enter the game. Each will be developed on National lines that it may be an integral part of the Government's transportation fa cilities. Tou get that point, do you not? Polities Are Fulminated. There's no longer any politics in this matter of harbor improvement. It's too big a programme and too vital to the Nation for that. 1 was much impressed with the businesslike way the officials consider all matters and their spirit of Impartiality. Any port that has reasonable natural advantages and gets in position to assist with the programme will have every encourage menu I am convinced of this." Mr. Hegardt spent much time, after attending a convention of the Ameri can Association of Port and Harbor Authorities in Boston, conferring with the heads or the Port and Harbor m rllities Commission, a subsidiary of the Shipping Board. This commission Is making surveys and seeking reports from every port in the Lnlted States It also goes extensively Into the mat ter of harbor equipment. Speed in un loading, bunkering and repairing ves sels is one of its hobbles and it not only called a convention of manufac turers or devices related to these op erations, but had the convention select a general committee to work for stand ardization and betterment of such equipment. Portland Ready far Action. Information already sent home by Mr. Hegart has influenced members of the Commission of Public Docks, the Port of Portland, city officials and bus! ness men to prepare the proposal that Portland vote $3,000,000 In bonds, the funds to be expended in development of harbor facilities. It is expected that the additional suggestions he brings will speed this programme and help outline Its component parts. It may be said that aid of the Wash ington commission will be quickly ex tended for the malting of certain needed Improvements In the Portland harbor. This aid will be mainly in the matter of obtaining priorities for needed ma terials and in giving advice and as sistance to the end that the develop ments conform to the Federal needs. For the programme at large, said Mr. Hegardt, some delays may be experi enced in working it out. but in order to "talk business" with the Federal of ficials and draw their support, he de clared it all-important that the. city get the fund and show what It 1s ready to do. Tacoma Vouch Is Jailed. Theodore Ross, wanted by the Ta coma authorities on a charge of lar ceny of an automobile, was arrested yesterday at Salem and placed In the Marlon County Jail. It was reported last night that Ross had dug his way out of the jail at Salem and had stolen another machine and was headed for Portland. Read The Orearonian classified ads. TRAVELERS' CCIDK.
