Over Head and Dies in
St. Louis Hospital.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 17. (Spe
cial.) A spectator at a game in
Fenton, St. Louis county, putting
into action the thought which is
often recklessly expressed at base
ball games, killed the umpire.
The umpire, Charles Bouzek, 33
year old, deputy sheriff at Jeffer
son county, having: a wife and four
children, was struck on the head
with a bat wielded by the dissat
isfied spectator, and fell uncon
scious. He was taken to Lutheran
hospital, St Louis, and died there
this morning.
Charles Woolesy, 18, of Valley
Park, was held in the, Clayton jail,
charged with the assault. ' The
prosecuting1 attorney's office said
he would be formally charged with
first degree murder.
Umpire Standing? Near First.
The game was between the Fen
ton and Valley Park teams and in
the fifth inning. The score was
8 to 0 in Fenton's favor. Valley
Park was at bat and Bouzek, who
was umpiring the bases, was stand
ing near first.
A Valley Park baserunner took a
long lead off first base, and when
the ball was thrown to first and the
Valley Park man tried to regain the
base, Bouzek declared him out.
The Valley Park players and soma
spectators who favored the visiting
team raised an uproar.
Victim Struck Over Ear.
As the noise was subsiding, a
youth, said by spectators to have
beeij Woolesy, arose from the place
where he had been sitting, beyond
center field, and walked toward the
umpire, at first base. A bat thrown
by one of the players lay in his path
and the youth picked it up and held
- it behind him as he walked toward
Bouzek,
Someone In the crowd called to"
htm, "go to It," and an instant later
the youth struck Bouzek over the
right ear with the bat. Bouzek fell
and his assailant dTopped the bat
and ran. Spectators and players of
both' teams started a pursuit.
BErajTSTEM URGED
TAB ON SWIMMING RECORDS
DISCUSSED BY CODY.
Few Lists of Authentic Marks Are
Available, Declares Instruc
tor at Multnomah.
A better system of checking new
swimming records and notifying the
various clubs throughout tne coun-
try is the big need of, the American
Amateur Athletic union, according
to Jack Cody, swimming and diving
instructor at the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic club.
"Few persons have any list of au
thentic records nowadays," said
Cody, "as the new crop of swimmers
are setting records so fast that it
is hard to keep tab of them."
Adding to the suggestion that
some check should be kept, the local
coach gave as his opinion of what
the proper method should be that
the Amerioan Athletic union check
an records made in this country,
compile them monthly and furnish
copies to every swimming club
which handles aquatic meets. If
this were done, it would enable of
ficials to know the official records
in all events and distances, whereas
now not one swimming official in a
hundred can even keep track of the
Records m hie own district.
Take, for instance, the Pacific
coast district. Any club on the
coast can, by getting its meet sane
tibned by the district representative
of the American Amateur Athletic
union, stage an official champion
ship meet. Any record times made
at mis meet stand as official, but no
one else in the country ever hears
about the records unless the news is
supplied them by a press service.
"As a. result of the lax system
rauius i viriuany every event on
tne coast are very vague, and esti
mating conservatively, not a dozen
men know the record times and the
holders of the various champion
ships for which coast swimmers
compete yearly.
in fact, there are sometimes
three or four championships in
every event, such as the common
dash,0 yards, 100 yards or 220-yard
events, every year. Hence, it is not
only nara to know who the cham
pion is, but it is also hard to keep a
msi or record times up to date
as some record is usually tied or
ttroKen at every meet, owing to the
" increasing ability of the American
swimmers.
The Multnomah club natators are
training hard for the coming Pa
cific Northwest association outdoor
swimming and diving champion-
snips, which will be held in Victoria,
B. C, August 6. A team of from
seven to ten swimmers will make
the trip north to represent the
- Winged M institution. The Mult
nomah club water polo team -will be
one of the formidable contenders
for the northwest title this season.

John Smith," played by Mr.
O'Brien, is a convict who is paroled
for bis good behavior. He went to
prison because he would not tell

his real Identity to spare his mother.
Regaining his freedom he - makes

RUTH'S STUNT IS PUNK
BALLS DROP FROM ROOF

'What a Lot of Boobs In New
York to' Fall for Such a Pub
licity Trick," Says Spectator.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 17. Several
men were trampled on, one was
thrown down by a mounted police
man's horse and thousands were
forcibly moved on at noon today
when "Babe" Ruth and "Bob"
Meusel performed a ball-catching
stunt in Times Square.
Besides the viojence accompany
ing the demonstration, automobile
traffic was held up on Broadway
between Forty-third and. Forty
second streets for three-quarters of
an hour and street cars moved with
difficulty because of the dense
crowds, estimated at between 15,000
and 25,000.
The stunt was to aid a motion
picture being shown, partly for the
benefit of widows of policemen and
firemen. Thousands who were
ignorant of what was to occur, Soon
learned from the crowd that Babe
Ruth was to catch a ball thrown by
Meusel from the roof of the Cohan
theater building.
Standing in the mud-gutter in his
shirt sleeves, "the sultan of swat"
motioned to Meusel to throw the
ball. He , did, but misjudged the
angle and the ball almost hit some
one on the west side' walk. "Bob"
dropped another ball and this Ruth
missed. He caught the third one,
however.
What a lot of boobs in New
York," one of the crowd eaid to a
friend, "to fall for as old a publicity
stunt as this one. Why, if they
tried to pull anything like this in
Hohoekus, they d be laughed out of
town.

fleeted love and confidence and it

But the necessary conflict enters
when the funds from a charity
bazaar, with which as treasurer he
was entrusted, are stolen. Circum
stances pointed to him. At the
trial he admits having been absent
from the house on the night of the
robbery, but steadily refuses to tell
where he was. The Jury leaves the
courtroom. Conviction is certain.
Then a tremendous punch is intro
duced when his sweetheart stops
the Jurymen, declaring that he re
mained silent because the night
of the robbery "he spent with me."
His attorneys knew she was lying
to save him, but were willing to
take advantage of her sacrifice of
honor. But the "hard-boiled" proba
tion officer, who helped Smith in
the beginning, contrary to supposed
police methods, remained his friend
and trapped the real culprits.

BABY EDNA STANDS ON
HANDS OF LEADER TO PLAY
Children From Orphans' Home, in
Town on Tour, Give Concerts
on Street Corner.
Baby Edna, six years old, is the
youngest member of the Des Moines,
Wash., orphans' home band of 25
youngsters which arrived in Port'
land yesterday for a w,eek's stay.
She is also the smallest cornet
player on record. Whenever she
plays solos, she stands on Daddy
Draper's hands so that all gathered
around can hear.
The kiddles' band attracted
great deal of attention yesterday
afternoon when it collected in front
of The Oregonian building and
rendered a concert.
The children are on tour through
Oregon and will go as far south as
the California border.' They are
traveling in a big truck and
trailer, both of which have been
made into veritable houses on
wheels. The boys are housed with
Mr. Draper in the first car of the
caravan while the girls in the
trailer are accompanied by Mrs.
Draper. Both the cars are roomy
and comfortable and the kiddies
have the time of their lives riding
around in them, according to
"Dddy" Draper, their superin
tendent.
"A happier and more contented
family than ours would be hard to
find, said Mr Draper yesterday,
'Several of them have mother and
father living, but most of them have
no kith or kin that they know any

Just half way between Seattle and
Tacoma.
For many years thDes Moines
children's home was supported
solely by the concerts and enter
tainments given by the children. In
the last few years the home - has
become so well and favorably known
through people coming into contact
with the children that many dona
tions are now being received. .
These donations, according to
Mr. Draper, are used for improving
the property around the home and
to help where most needed. A fine
park has been created around the
home and is used as a camping and
picnic grounds by hundreds of
people who enjoy being near the
children.
, During their stay in Portland the
children will give several concerts
each day on favorable downtown
street corners. In the evenings they
will entertain the people at the
Peninsula auto camp grounds.

(POWER TO BRING LIGHTNER
FROM CHINA HELD. -
Cablegram Received Asking
Whether Marshal From Shan
hal Should Return Fugitive.
No doubt as to the authority of
the United States to return Dave
Lightner, accused - narcotic dealer
and fugitive from Justice now under
arrest at Shanghai, China, DacK to
Portland to stand trial, seems to be
felt by the United States attorney
at that Chinese city.
A cablegram from the federal
attorney there, asking whether a
United States marshal will be sent
from Portland or whether the
United States marshal at Shanghai
shall return the prisoner to Port
land, was received yesternay -by
United States Attorney Humphreys.
The matter was referred to the de
partment of Justice at Washington.
Lightner, on the eve ot his trial
here on a charge of selling nar
cotics. Jumped his bail and boarded
a Norwegian ship bound for Shang
hai. He was traced by wireless and
placed under arrest by the master,
being turned over to the United
States marshal at Shanghai on the
arrival of the steamer there. -
"Lightner's case opens up an
interesting international question,"
said Mr. Humphreys, "and may test
the authority of our extra-territorial
court at Shanghai Since the Boxer
rebellion we have maintained a
United States court, with judge,
attorney and marshal at that city.
It is the only American court out
side of American territory. Its
powers have been subject to " con
siderable discussion. I was inclined
to believe that we would face a
fight in bringing Lightner back but
the telegram I, received this morn
ing seems to indicate that the court
there is not in any doubt concerning
its rights."
