THE. MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1911). J3 8 B1T1S SIGNED FOR NOVEMBER 5 Little Fighters to Predomi nate at Heilig Show. NONE EXCEED 120 POUNDS Billy Maseolt Is Slated to Mix With Harry Paul of Denver Frank lin Will Meet Ridley. Bantamweights will predominate at the next show to be held at the Heilig theater, November 5. No less than six of the little fellows have been signed by Matchmaker Jack Grant to enter tain the fans and none of them from Billy Mascott. king of the Pacific coast bantams, who will defend his title against Harry Paul o( Denver, down to Georgie Franklin, who will clash with Seattle's best bet Bud Rid ley, will scale more than 120 pounds. The little boys always have proved popular with Portland fans. Some of the greatest bouts ever held here were those between Lanny Webster "and Frankie Conley, Jimmy Carroll and Monte Attell. Jockey Bennett versus Jimmy Carroll, Billy Miscott versus Johnny Coulon, Charley Moy versus Billy Mascott and many oth ers. These matches in by-gone days have been more than interesting, and it is expected that the card as ar ranged for next Wednesday nieht will be one of the best seen in months. Matchmaker Grant finds that it is much easier to do business with the lighter lads, the heavier boys de manding: much more for their serv ices and with the seating capacity at the Heilig limited he finds it hard to obtain the top-notch boys of the heavier divisions. Frankie Rogers, wiry soldier boxer, who wiH meet Harry Casey in the 10 round semi-windup. arrived yester day and lost no time finding his way to one" of the popular gymnasiums. Rogers is an entirely different look ing boy than when he was here to meet Walter Knowlton and looks every inch the fighter his menus say he is. Casey Is well-known here and has a host of friends who think him unbeatable among the boys of his weight in this area. The balance of the menu is as fol lows: Karl Zimmerman versus Sam my Gordon and Bud Ridley versus Georgie Franklin. The quartette are bantams and will furnish more than the average amount of sport for the ringsiders. Danny Kramer, Boston bantam weight who has made Los Angeles his rendezvous for the past few montlis, had little trouble in copping the verdict from Danny Edwards at Jack Doyle's Vernon boxing empor ium last Wednesday night. Edwards will be remembered as the little chocolate drop who put up two dandy bouts with Billy Mascott be . sides giving Abe Gordon and Weldon Wing a couple of battles that the pair will not soon forget. . Doniinick J. Tortorich. New Or leans boxing promoter who has staged the last two bouts for the world's bantam title, is having trou ble trying to match Pete Herman with Pal Moore or Joe Lynch. The little bantam champion, has made his terms so high that the promoter finds that he will have to have a $20,000 Kate in order to break even. . In order to arouse more Interest In the next championship "go," the Louisiana promoter has offered to hang up a $5000 purse for Lynch and Moore, the winner to meet Herman the following month. To date both title contenders have turned a deaf ear to the promoter's offer. If Bobby Ward, lightweight cham pion of the 91st division, thinks he will have soft picking when he meets Muff Bronso i at Aberdeen, he may run. into the surprise of his young life, for Bronson is working like a Trojan for the bout and promises to make the battle of hi3 career.

TELLS OF SPRUCE ROAD'S COST Soldiers in Some Cases Paid as High as $8 Day. DISQUE ORDER FOLLOWED Witness at Xew York Testifies Re garding Millions Expended on Olympic Peninsula. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. (Special.) H. S. Kerbaugh of the Selms-Carey-H. S. Kerbaugh corporation, which got the Olympia Peninsula, Wash., con tract to cut spruce for airplanes and built a 38-mile railroad into the spruce country that cost the govern ment several million dollars, gave his version today of how Pliny Fisk, of Harvey Fish & Sons, was frozen out of the deal. His explanation was that Mr. Fisk became alarmed at the risks involved and refused to go through with it. Mr. Kerbaugh was the only witness, heard on the second day of the sit tings here of a congressional subcommittee-consisting of two republic ans and a democrat which has gone into the Olympic Peninsular business In the west. This morning John D. Ryan, who was director of aircraft production during the war and is an official ofthe Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, which skirts the spruce country, will take the stand. It Is possible that William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, will be asked to appear before the com mittee here. SHOO Soldiers Employed. A number of interesting points re garding the spruce road, as it was called, were brought out by Mr. Ker baugh's testimony, among them that 3800 soldiers were employed on the job, receiving the same pay as other laborers, in some cases 88 a day. The witness stated positively that, in his judgment, speaking as a man who had handled millions in railroad and other contracts, the spruce road's cost was not excessive. "We think we picked the route on which a railroad could have been built in the shortest time and for the least money," he de clared. "I believe the 27 miles on the Deep creek route would have cost more than the ?8 miles in the route we chose. The lower advance estimate of cost was $80,000 a mile, without rails. They cost 70 to $80 a ton. It was necessary to build the permanent sort of railroad we did build because the loads we were expecting to haul out couldn't have been drawn over a logging road." No Spruce Takes Oat. He admitted that, at the time the armistice was signed, not a foot of spruce had been taken out over the road, but denied that 14 miles of the road remained incomplete at that time. Under questioning, he admitted that the 14 miles referred to was not entirely finished. Its completion was recommended by government officials as giving greater salvage value to the entire line. The soldier labor on the job, Mr. Kerbaugh said, was by order of Colo nel Brlce P. Disque, then stationed at Portland, Or., with whom the earl iest negotiations for both the spruce and railroad contracts were held. One reason was that the Seims-Carey Ker baugh employment office then "would not draw labor away from shipyards and other necessary work. Coming down to his relations with Pliny Fisk. and the latter's story of how he had been "frozen out," Mr. Kerbaugh said he had known the New York banker ten years and had the highest esteem for him, but found him a hard man to do business with. Fink Finally Taken In. "Late at night, when we were all ready to go to bed, he said, "Mr. Fisk would bring up one proposition after another. We thought the spruce con tract would run over 823,000,000. Mr. Flak had no part in the railroad, but we finally agreed to take him in and eventually settled that he was to get 40 per cent of all profits. "I believe Mr. Fisk finally failed Xo go through with the contract because his counsel advised him not to, de claring it was too risky. The risk lay in failure to carry out the contract. We tried in every way to sohw Mr. Fisk that he was protected. We would much rather have had him go through." After Mr. Fisk had withdrawn the contract was closed with the Seims-Carey-Kerbaugh corporation within 48 hours. The undertaking was financed by the war credits board, with an ini tial advance of 1500.000 and payments twice a month, to the total of about J6, 600,000 when the armistice was signed. 'IS MRS. XEMITZ' SISTER-IX'-LAW ARRAIGXS SEATTLE POLICE. Ealy and Mother, Accused of Mur der of Mrs. Bryan, Have Not Yet Raised Required Ball. SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 28. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Anna Ealy Nemitx and her son, William Fay Ealy, charged with the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Bryan on October 20, were still in the county jail tonight, their attorney, Crawford E. White having failed to raise the 20.000 bail each necessary to obtain their liberty. Deputy Pros ecuting Attorney T. H. Patterson, who is handling the case for the state, said an information charging them, with the murder probably would be filed next Friday. So far, only a com plaint charging them with the crime has been filed in justice court. Charges that Mrs. Nemitz and Ealy are being "railroaded" by Captain of Detectives Charles Tennant were made today by Mrs. Paulie Harper of Seattle, sister-in-law of Mrs. Nemitz. Referring to the assertions by the state that Mrs. Bryan was murdered for the $4500 given her by her hus band, George W. Bryan of Puyallup, when they decided to separate, Mrs. Harper declared: "Captain Tennat is not telling the truth about the evi dence. The vault records do not show that Fay went to the safety deposit box the Saturdayand Sunday before the murder." The police say $2500 was found in the safe deposit box. - Mrs. Nemitz contends this sum represented part of her family's savings. Mrs. Harper said she visited Mrs. Nemitz and her son in the city jail Sunday afternoon and found both in good spirits. "They are not worried." said Mrs. Harper, "even though they are being 'railroaded.' They are the finest kind of people. Mrs. Nemitz attended me day and night when I was sick in KERBAUGH the hospital for several weeks and she didn't do it for money either. "I never saw such uncivil persons as these detectives. When I went to Captain Tennant's office with my brother, Mr. Nemitz. they glared at me over their shoulders and said I couldn't see my relatives in the Jail. It took me some time to convince them that, the law said I could." GIRLS ASK FOR FRED0M Daughters of Refugees Want Re lease From Turkish Harems. TIFLIS. Armenia. Turkish Arme nian refugees whose daughters were saved from death for a life of slavery in Turkish harems, have appealed to the American Red Cross for aid in obtaining their freedom. It is esti mated by officials of the Armenian government that 30.000 girls are thus held in slavery. An. executive com mittee to arrange plans for their lib eration has been named and will start work at once. These girls, daughters of refugees from the Van and Bitlis regions, dis appeared during the massacres of 1918. Nothing was heard of them for months and it was believed they had been slain by the Turks. Recently pitiful appeals for libera tion have been coming from them from the Turkish harems of Anatolia and European Turkey. Most of the girls declare that they have not changed their religion. Colonel Haskell, high commissioner of the allies to Armenia, has been ap pealed to for military aid. No def inite answer has yet been given, but he is hopeful of being able to offer a show of force as a background for diplomatic negotiations. The Amer ican Red Cross has been asked for the financial backing necessary for the work of liberating the women. ATTACK ON GIRL DOUBTED Case of Young Kansas Clly Woman Puzzles Police. KANSAS CITY. Mo. Maude Wright, 15-year-old daughter of Frank Wright, Thirteenth street and Virginia ave nue, Kansas side, experienced an other "attack" recently. The girl was found rolling in the middle of North Twelfth street, near the Missouri Pacific tracks. Shortly after noon, strips of knotted handker chief tied around her face and a fold ed cloth over her mouth. She was crying hysterically. Miss Wright was taken to the home of C. F. McCully. 3119 North Twelfth street, Kansas side, and later to the Kansas side police headquarters. She told the police she was return ing to school after recess when two young men in a small car asked her to direct them to a garage. They in duced her to enter the car. she said, and, after driving a short distance, the young man in the rear seat with her attacked her, after gagging her. The police discredited her story and an examination by Dr. George H. Hobson disclosed that no attack had been committed on the girl, he said. About a month ago the girl was re ported to have been attacked by a negro while she was in the back yard of her home. She suffered a nervous breakdown, her mother said, and was relased recently from Bethany hos pital. AUTO OWNER IS BEATEN Wounds Suffered When Man Tries to Recover Machine. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. To sym pathetic patrons who dropped in at the Odeon music store. J. A. Cramer exhibited sundry bumps and contu sions on his head and announced that the next time he drove a car to New York that car would be a baby tank. No one, Mr. Cramer added, rubbing his largest bump, who has been reared in the gentle culture of New Jersey should try to mingle with New York ers unless specially armed and out fitted. , Mr. Cramer had no more than stepped out of his car at 6188 west Fifty-fifth street when two men tried to steal it. The outraged owner pur sued his machine, and swung himself onto the running board. One of the thieves beat him on the head until he let go. The car proceeded on its way, knocking down a horse and running into an army truck. The police, to whom Mr. Cramer re ported his loss, found the machine abandoned a few blocks away. "And in the five minutes I was in the police station." Mr. Cramer con cludes impressively, "three other fel lows came in and each of them re ported that his car had been stolen." COAL IS BASIC INDUSTRY .England Plans Production of 5,000,000 Tons a Year. LONDON. (By the Associated Press.) D. R. Llewellyn, a young Welsh mining engineer, is the talk of London today because he is complet ing the most important combination of coal mines and steel mills since the beginning of the war. Its capital will be $30,000,000 and it will control coal production of approximately 5,000,000 tons a year. "Coal is our basic industry," he says. "It is more valuable than gold. I am an optimist. Organization, modern machinery and labor saving devices in the coal Industry will pay as large dividends today as- at any. time. "I think that unless we can get the miners back to a 48-hour week we are going to have difficulty meeting our export demands. Unless the hours are increased we shall produce only enough for our own requirements. "The argument that a man can be speeded upto produce the same quan tity in a shorter time is rubbish. When the miner was' supposed to be working eight hours a day he was really only working six." LETTER HELD UP 62 YEARS Record for Slow Delivery Comes to Light In France. PARIS.

Engineer Says Local Undertaking Must Be Passed on Before Any Federal Funds Are Spent. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 28. Several complica tions have arisen in connection with the imorovemeut of Yaquina bay, Ore gon, which will have to be adjusted before the federal government can get in and do its half of the work, ac cording to a letter from the acting chief of engineers to Senator Cham berlain. The first of these complications is that the local Interests at Newport and Toledo are doing their part of the work under a private contract, which will have to be recognized by congress before it can be accepted as the local co-operation provided for in the act of congress making govern ment money available. Another difficulty relates to the greatly Increased cost of the work, all of which is explained in the . let ter of the acting chief of engineers as follows: The district engineer in charge of the locality. In a report dated September If . stated that the local Interests had not con tributed the sum of M18.000 toward the cost of the Improvement authorized by the river and harbor act of March 2, 1019. such contribution being- a condition pre cedent to the undertaking; of the work by the United States. In a report Just received from the dis trict engineer, he states that the local Interests, represented by the ports of New port and Toledo, have raised funds in ex cess of $450, ooo and have made them avail able for work under their own super vision on the project. With these funds, the port authorities have excavated the 18-foot bay channel, and have entered into a contract In the sum of approximately 1-103,000 for the construction of the south jetty. The contract has been secured at exceptionally advantageous rates, and from the report the conclusion may be reached that the work is being prosecuted accord ing to the same standards that would be required by the United States if the work were undertaken by the engineer depart ment. It will thus be seen that the local in terests have carried out the purpose of the condition Imposed by congress, and I shall be glad to recommend to congress the acceptance of the work done as a ful fillment of the condition precedent. It must, however, be held that such condi tion has not been fulfilled in the manner contemplated in the project document and by congress, for that condition was worded as tbe contribution of the sum of I41H.OOO. and not the execution of work to the value of that sum. White. In this case, the -local Interests appear to be doing the work In the same measure ot efficiency and economy as would be accomplished were the work done by the United Slates, yet In other cases and In other communities the expenditure by the local Interests of tbe sum of money specified in the act might easily not re sult In the accomplishment ot the amount of work which this sum would produce were It expended by the United States. A difficulty that presents Itself imme diately for consideration lies in the fact that the contribution will not be completed until the contract has been completed. There Is nothing to protect the United States against the contingency that if the United States entered Into the project with Its own funds, the local Interests might withdraw before doing the work of the value contemplated by congress when that body authorized the Improvement. In this feature, again. I feel confident that the local authorities In this particular case will fully meet their obligation, but un fortunately experience In other localities has indicated that such trust is not always warranted. A further contingency has arisen to pre vent the commencement of operations with United States funds. The act of March 2, 11119, provides that no work shall be undertaken on any new project therein adopted unless the secretary of war shall be of the opinion that, based upon the cost at the time of enterlnjr upon the work, the project can be completed at a cost not greater than 40 per cent Jn excess of the estimated cost In the report upon said CAMLS are in a class by themselves easily the most refreshing, the most likable ciga rette you ever smoked. : You can prove that! Simply compare Camels puff-by-puff with any cigarette in the world at any price ! Put quality, flavor and cigarette satisfaction to the utmost test 1 Made to meet your taste, Camels never tire it, no matter how liber ally you smoke them I The expert blend of choice Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos makes Camels delightful so full-bodied, yet so project. A very careful examination of local conditions leads the district engineer to report that the Improvement of Yaquina harbor can not be completed within surh limit of cost, and the further authority of congress is necessary to the under taking of the work. 4 It appears, therefore, that the work by the United States must be deferred Tor further legislation, which may presum ably be enacted in the coming river and harbor bill. .
