D'DDWD-DRTEGA GO
NEVER GETS STARTED
Crowd Howls When Bout Is
Called Off.
OLD ROW CAUSES HALT
Differences Over Money and Who
Should Kefcree i'imjlly End
In Ruining Card.
BY DICK SHARP. -The
scheduled ten-round return bat
tle between Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul
and Battling Ortetra of Oakland at
the Milwaukee arena was called off
last night owing to a misunderstand
ing over the money that was to go
as O'Dowd's end and the inability of
Tommy Simpson, Ortega's manager,
and Paddy Mullins, O'Dowd's man
ager to agree on a referee.
After lk was all over Tommy Simp
son said that he would have allowed
Ortega to fight with Mullins ref.
ereeing, while Mullins asserted that
he would have permitted Mike to bat
tle If there had not been a cent in the
house, provided the referee could have
been agreed upon.
The sum aid substance of the whole
matter is this: The Mllwaukie com
mission with Frank Kendall and
Cltorge Moore at the helm offered
O'Dowd a guarantee with a privilege
of percentage to meet Ortega again
ar.d the stipulation was made that
"Denver" Ed Martin would not ref
eree. the fight. All this was done be
fore O'Dowd and Mullins left for
Pocatello. Idaho. Ortega's consent
had not yet been obtained. A day or
bo later Kendall closed with Ortega
through Simpson In Oakland. As soon
as Ortega was secured Kendall tele
graphed Mullins that the fight had
ucen arranged.
Trospecta Held Sot Hood.
O'Dowd and Mullins returned to
Portland Wednesday and that after
noon had a meeting with Kendall and
Moore and were told that the pros
pects did not look good for a big
house. Thursday the four met again
and it is said that Moore told them
thnt,unlesB O'Dowd would go through
with the fight on a percentage basis
only, without the guarantee, it would
be necessary to call the match off.
After a long talk it was decided to
wait until 12 o'clock yesterday, the
day of the match, to settle the ques
tion as to whether to call the card off
or not.
Jn'the meantime that referee ques
tion was also looming and the box
ing writers of the four Portland
dailies were called to a meeting with
Kendall, Moore and O'Dowd yester
day. After going over the field of
possibilities from 1 o'clock until after
6 o'clock In the afternoon Mullins fi
nnlly agreed to Stanley McDonald.
The question as to whether or not
O'Dowd was going on with a guaran
tee or with the privilege of percent
age only evidently was not settled.
Mike and Mullins allege that they
thought they were iroinar to --. th.
guarantee up to the time that they
arrived at the Milwaukie arena, while
on the other hand the Milwaukie of
ficials assert that they believed that
Mike was going to work on a per
centage basiB.
O'Dowd Demands Guarantee.
At 8:20, a few minutes before the
card was slated to start. George
Moore, manager of the Milwaukee
arena, went into O'Dowd's dressing
room and asked Mike if he under
stood that he was going to get a
guarantee or work on percentage.
Mike answered that he would go on
for nothing except a guarantee and
denied having given the impression
that he would work on percentage
only.
The scene is switched to Ortega's
dressing room where Ortega. Simp
son, Kendall and Paddy Mullins are
off on another track. Simpson 'did
not arrive from Oakland until yester
day and says that he did not learn
that McDonald was to referee until
late in the afternoon although ef
forts were made to reach him at his
hotel all day. Simpson stormed and
eaid that there would be no fight
unless Martin or Jack Orant was the
third man. George Moore, seeing that
It was impossible to reach any kind
of a settlement, had the announcer
ftep to the center of the ring with
the curtain raisers ready to battle
and announce that everything was
on.
Small House Attends.
The house was small and. accord
ing to Moore, there would not have
been more than several hundred do
lars left to pay off all the rest of the
boxers and meet expenses if O'Dowd
had been given his guarantee.
It was left to the fans present
whether they wanted to remain and
witness the rest of the card or step1
out to the box office and get their
money back. Several hundred filed
out of the arena, the resit clamoring
lor the fights to start. Those who
did go out and get their money back
were readmitted lor the general ad
mission prjee.
I he whole affair was an unfortu
nate mixup and the blame might be
scattered a little all round. Match
maker Frank Kendall and Manager
George Moore apparently did their
best to fulfill their obligations.
The four matches that were held
resulted in draws. Eddie Shannon
of Ios Angeles and Willie St. Clair
negro lightweight of Sacramento,
went to an eight-round draw In the
top bout. Niel Zimmerman, Portland
featherweight, battled Johnny Flske
of Rock Island, 111., to a , six-round
draw; Baby. Blue of Sacramento and
Danny Edwards of Oakland, negro
bantamweights, fought a six-round
draw, while loung Fisher and Kid
Taylor went four rounds to a draw
in the first bout.

BILL IMPOSES NEW TAX
SHIPPING MEASURE MAY PUT
DUTY 0" FOREIGN" GOODS.
Section of Underwood Tariff L,av
Held to Be Elective Under
Merchant Marine Act.
WASHINGTON, July 9. (By the
Associated Press.) Operation of the
merchant marine act will bring Into
force the section of the Underwood
tariff law of 1913 imposing a dis
criminatory duty of 5 per cent on
goods entering the United States in
foreign bottoms, in the opinion of
some diplomats who have studied the
new shipping bill.
Application of this section of the
Underwood act was suspended by a
decision of the supreme court in 1917
because the act provided that the
discriminatory duty should not apply
if in conflict with any reserved treaty
right. The court held that the section
was In conflict with the provision of
the treaty of 1815 between the United
States and Great Britain.
This treaty, along with similar
treaties with a score of other coun
tries, must be abrogated under the
section imposing the duty of the mer
chant marine law.
In the case of the British treaty
one years notice is necessary and
consequently no discriminatory duty
can be imposed on goods entering
the United States in British bottoms
until the expiration of that period.
Some diplomats believe that it was
the clear intent of congress to -re
serve to itself the right to impose
the discriminatory - duties by future
legislation, but they declare that un
less such legislation is enacted before
the treaties are abrogated the 5 per
cent discriminatory duty imposed by
the Underwood law automatically will
come into force.

as been his associate and shipmate
for the past 30 years. Nolan was
lso appointed administrator of- hia
state, .which consists of real estate
n Portland and a farm near Beaver-
on.
'Give my sincere regards to the
Port of Portland commissioners," Par
sons told Nolan at his bedside. "Tell
them publicly that I deeply appre-
tate the courteous treatment and
cordial cp-operatlon -I have always
eceived at their hands during our
mutual efforts to make Portland the
greatest port on the Pacific."
No relatives of Captain Parsons
re known to survive. His closest
associate throughout the greater part
f his life has been Captain Nolan,
who became acquainted with him at
San Pedro, when Parsons was master
f the steamer Eureka of the old
Pacific Coast Steamship company.
During the Spanish-American war
Captain Parsons commanded the
ransport Elder, plying between San
Francisco and Manila. In the days
of the Klondike gold rush he was
aptain of the steamer Orizaba run
ning from San Francisco to Nome,
and was port captain of the North
American Trading company at Nome
for two years. He also had charge
of a. fleet of steamboats on the Yukon
river.
For several years Captain Parsons
ommanded steamers of the Pacific
Mail line running between San Fran-
lsco and the west coast of South
America. One of hi" mates in this
ervice was Captain D. S. Ames, now
ocal inspector at Seattle in the
United States steamboat inspection
service.
Other famous vessels of Captain
Parsons' command were the Ken-
uckian of the American - Hawaiian
ine, and the Pomona and Alliance,
coastwise vessels.
Captain Parsons won recognition
from the emergency fleet corporation
for his ability, and served as trial
rip captain for every steel shipping
board vessel built in this district.
otaling 93 vessels.
Two years ago he desired to en
gage exclusively in the occupation of
bar pilot, and found himself an out
sider, not favored by the group of
pilots then in control at the mouth
of the river. He organized a new
pilots' association which now serves
every off-shore vessel passing in or
out of the Columbia river, and was
manager of this association until his
death.
Funeral ser'ices will be held at 8:43
o'clock Monday morning from the
parlors of McEntee & Eilers, at Fif

CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME DE
VISED BY COLONEL S LATTERY
I'nder Procramme Dredges Will
Concentrate for Removing: Shoals
After Spring Freshet.
A programme of co-operative dredg
ing in the Columbia and Willamette
rivers by the United States engineers
and the Port of Portland has received
the acoroval of the crrief of engineers,
it was announced yesterday by Lieu
tenant-Colonel J. R. Slattery, com
maiuling the second Portland district.
The co-operative plan, devised by
Colonel Slattery, provides for th
concentration of all the port and gov
ernment dredges in the Columbia
river "channel immediately after the
annual summer freshet subsides. The
assistance of the port in this channel
work, for which the government is
responsible, will then be repaid in
kind by the government dredges
working in the "Willamette river. By
this means it will be possible to re
move the shoals in the Columbia more
rapidly than has ever been possible
before. It Is considered certain that
under this plan a full 30-foot channel
from Portland to the sea will be re
established within a short time after
the subsidence of the freshet.
Colonel Slattery has received orders
to hold himself In readiness to be
transferred to theschool of the line
at Fort Madison.

SEATTLE GETS HEADQUARTERS
Xew Shipping Board Division An
nounced by Senator Jones.
SEATTLE, Wash.. July 9. United
States Senator Jones of Washington,
today announced the receipt of a tele
gram from Admiral Benson, chair
man ot the United States Shipping
board, informing him the board had
adopted a resolution making Seattle
headquarters of a new chipping dis
trict to be known as the Puget Sound
and Columbia River district.
No news of the reported establish
ment of a new shipping district on
this coast had been received here last
night by chipping board officials. The
only effect here of such action would
be to make the Portland office of
the operations division report to Se
attle Instead of to San Francisco as
at present.
During the shipbuilding period, the
Pacific coast was divided Into three
districts with headquarters at Seat
tle, Portland and San Francsco. Ke
cently the three were merged into one
with headquarters at San Francisco,
and business of the Portland and
Puget sound offices has since been
transacted through San Francisco. At
