THE SUKDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND", JANUARY 5, 1002.
LEAGUE PROSPECTS GOOD
SIX-CLUB CIRCUIT ASSURED FOP.
"NEXT SEASON.
Seattle Will Open in Portland April
20 Principal Holiday Games
to Be Played Here.
It Is now assured that the Northwest
Baseball League will have a six-club cir
cuit next season. President "W. H. Lucas,
who has been In St. Paul, completed sat
isfactory transportation arrangements
-with the Northern Pacific officials, where
by it was made possible to admit Butte
and Helena.
Helena and Butte are both good ball
towns and considerable money has already
been subscribed for the clubs. Jack Flan
nery, who was held In reserve by the Ta
coma club, has been permitted to sign
with the Helena team. It Is possible that
a number of the other players reserved
by the teams of last year will be allowed
to join the teams representing those two
cities.
The baseball season for 1902 will open
here on Tuesday, April 29. Seattle will
probably be the first team to cross bats
with the local players. On the same date
one of the Montana teams will open at
Spokane and the other at Tacoma. The
season will also close here. At the open
ing of the season, Portland Is to meet
all five of the teams here before start
ing out on its first trip. Each of the
Coast teams will take two trips to Mon
tana. Portland has secured all the holi
days, Decoration day. Fourth of July and
Labor day. Five games a week will be
played.
The Portland Club has received several
applications for positions on the team.
George A. Forbes, physical director of the
Monmouth Normal School,, would like to
get on the team. He writes that he can
play third base or pitch. Another man
who is after a position is Ira Davis. He
is first baseman or a utility man. Davis
played on the New Bedford, Mass., and
the Danbury, Conn., teams In 1S97 and
1898. In 1899 he was with the New York
National League team. In 1900 he was
sold to St. Joseph, Mo., where he played
that season and the next, finishing up
with Sacramento last season. Davis Is
looked upon as a good man, and it is
very likely that he will get a place.
SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.
McFarland and Maya. Were the "Vic
tors Ended in a Fight.
BOSTON, Jan. 4. The six-day bicycle
race at Park Square Garden ended to
night in a fist fight, which became gen
eral for a few minutes. McFarland and
Maya were the victors in the race. The
six leading teams were on even terms in
. the distance traveled during the week, the
winning places being taken in the last
sprint. The battle for first money start
ed on the last mile. Until the fifth lap
the order was McFarland, Freeman, Gou
goltz, Leander, McLean and King. Then
Leander, in a burst of speed, went ahead
of the field. He was going very fast,
and McLean was after him. "While
rounding the bank into the back stretch.
Gougoltz and McLean came together and
went down, the others running away from
them. Gougoltz was the first on his ma
chine, and away he went. Leander held
the leading position until the beginning
of the last lap. McFarland jumped in and
won first, with Leander second, Freeman
third. King fourth, Gougoltz fifth, Mc
Lean sixth. Chevalier and Fischer cap
tured seventh prize and Krebs and Kee
gan eighth. Muller and Jaak, who re
mained in the race until the finish, got
ninth position, but were outside the prize
money. The final scores were:
Miles. Laps.
McFarland and Maya 1193 B
Freeman and Munro .. 1195 5
Leander and Rutz 1193 5
King and Samuelson 1193 E
Gougoltz and Simar 1193 5
McLean and Butler 1193 5
Fischer and Chevalier. 1193 2
Krebs and Keegan 1193 0
(Muller and Jaak 1192 7
Trouble began almost as soon as the
men were over the tape. McFarland,
who had won first place only by Inches,
Jumped off his wheel and dashed at Lean
der. Other riders and trainers made a
grab for the men and got Leander out
of the way. Freeman next went after
Leander and struck him full in the face.
Thereupon riders, trainers, and specta
tors took a hand, and for a few minutes
the affair looked like a riot. Policemen
jumped into the mass of men and
straightened out matters, but the excite
ment was intense.
The fight had been brewing all day.
It grew out of Leander's sprinting in the
afternoon which threatened to break up
the supposed combination between Mc
Farland, McLean and Freeman to take
the race in that order. Leander's sprint
broke up the alleged combination, as it
proved hard for the three men said to be
in it to keep the places in the bunch
which would have given them the advan
tage at night. Then, to add to the fric
tion, Leander started the final sprint, and
it was sooner than McFarland had fig
ured on. It led to the spill and made the
race anybody's. Referee Kelsey, who Is
the New England member of the board
of control, said after the race that it was
probable that the N. C. A. would investi
gate the affair, which he called one of
the most disgraceful on the track. After
ward Freeman went to Mr. Kelsey to
protest against Leander.
"While trying to break the three-mile
record. Will Stinson's front tire collapsed
and he was thrown. He received many
bruises and was unconscious for some
time, but no bones were broken.
RACES AT OAKLAND.
Mysterious Poisoning: of Charles
Boots' Colt.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4. Somewhat of
a sensation was caused at Oakland to
day by the discovery that The Giver, who
it was expected would win the fourth
race, had evidently been poisoned during
the night. He was frothing at the mouth
this morning, and was in such a condition
that it was found necessary to scratch
him. The officials are making an investi
gation, and a veterinary surgeon was in
structed to make a thorough examination
of the colt. No reason Is known why
any one should want to poison him. The
Giver Is owned by Charles Boots. AVa
terscratch was the only favorite to land
this afternoon, and he was quoted at 1 to
5. While long-priced horses were suc
cessful, the books did not get back much
of the money lost early In the week, as
several winners were heavily played.
The upsets commenced In the first race,
when Plead, at odds of S to 1. beat Kitty
Kelly and Malaise. Finch, a 10 to 1 shot,
took the hurdle event. Sam Green and
St. Anthony fell, but Evans and Alvlso
escaped Injury.
Artvls. the ?10.000 colt, made his second
appearance In the 2-year-old race, and
was Installed favorite. He got away poor
ly, but, although he finished fast, he
could not catch Thaddeus. who beat him
half a length. The Bay City handicap, at
one mile, resulted In a close finish, Duckoy
winning by a nose from Position. Results:

Champion Jeffries Tallc
NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Champion Jim
Jeffries arrived In the city tohighffrom
Chicago. His looks did not Impeach his
statement that he never felt better in
his life. Jeffries was well satisfied that
Billy Delaney had matched him to fight
Tom Sharkey. He paid his respects to
Fitzsfmmons.
"If FItzsimmons has the slightest de
sire to fight me," said Jeffries, "he can
get a match in double-quick time. I un
derstand he has been talking about being
offered inducements by me to make a
match. I don't know what he means or
what ho wants. The only Inducement I
will offer him is this: I will fight him'for
the entire purse, winner to take all, and
if that Is not enough, I will make a side
bet of from $1000 to 55000 that I beat him."
Six-Day Walkers.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5. There has been lit
tle change in the positions of the pedes
trians at the West End Coliseum during
the last 24 hours. Shelton, Tracey, Cart
wright and Noremac are many miles to
the front of the other men. Tracey ap
pears to be the strongest of the four lead
ers, and a bitter struggle between him
and Shelton Is anticipated during the next
24 hours of the race. At 2 A. M. Shelton
was leading with a score of 312 miles.

State Hospital Earned.
RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 4. The main
building of the Eastern State Hospital, at
Williamsburg, was destroyed by fire early
this morning. All of the 150 patients
were gotten out safely and made com
fortable In the town. The loss to the
state is about 575,000.
An Attnck of Pncnmonin Warded Off.
"Some time ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. She complained of pains In
her chest and had & bad cough. I gave
her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy accord
ing to directions, and In two days she
was well and able to go to school. I have
used this remedy In my family for the paBt
seven years, and have never known It to
fall," says James Prendergast, merchant,
Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands.
The pains In the chest Indicated an ap
proaching attack of pneumonia, which, in
this instance, was undoubtedly warded off
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It coun
teracts any tendency of a cold toward
penumonia. For gale by all drugglsu.
BROOKLYN POLICETANGLE
RIVAL CLAIMANTS FOR OFFICE OF
CITY MAGISTRATES.
Elected Jadgrei Tried to Oast the
Appointees of Van Wyck Injunc
tion Was Dissolved.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4. A great legal en
tanglement was precipitated In the Police
Courts of the Borough of Brooklyn to
day. The last Legislature passed an act
abolishing Police Magistracies and pro
viding for the election of City Magistrates,
whose functions would embrace those ex
ercised by the Police Magistrates. The
validity of this act was- attacked In in
junction proceedings, and Supreme Court
Justice Marean, In Brooklyn, dissolved the
injunction on the ground that the action
was not properly brought, but held the
opinion, nevertheless, that the law cre
ating the City Magistracies was unconsti
tutional. The Injunction proceedings were
brought by appointees of ex-Mayor Van
Wyck against those elected to the City
Magistracies last November.
Today, relying upon Justice Marean's de
cision, both the old and the new magis
trates appeared at the several places of
holding court to conduct the courts, and
as a result there was much confusion.
Three of the Police Magistrates had slept
all the night before in barricades, and
one of the new City Magistrates was ar
rested during the day by order of the
Police Magistrate he was supposed to
succeed. There were several other similar
incidents.
In the afternoon Justice Marean rendered
OLD AND MODERN SWITCH
another decision, upholding tho Police
Magistrates.
President Alfred Steers, of tho Board of
Magistrates of Kings County, has, ar
ranged for a meeting of all the "rival
claimants next Wednesday, when an effort
will be made to settle future court as
signments, provided no action of the Su
preme C6urt is taken to Interfere with the
meeting.

would hold 30 people, was not taken off
the steamer on account of there not be
ing sufficient help to remove her. In
the meantime, one of the sailors Jumped
off, swimming to a lifeboat that had
no passengers .on It. It was filled with
water. The sailor bailed out the
water, pulled the boat to the
bow and eight of us left the vessel only
a minute before she sank. I endeavored
to get the first mate In this boat, but ho
would not leave until he saw the captain.
That was the last seen of him. The third
officer was not on watch much longer
than 10 minutes. The first mate told
me to save his instruments, but I saved
nothing but an overcoat, which was a
blessing for one of the members of our
crew, who was clothed In an undershirt
only. We had only one oar and fi. half
of one to guide our boat. We managed
to keep our boat from capsizing, narrow
ly escaping several times from being
thrown out.
Survived on Hopes.
"Wo drifted all day to the north. We
survived on hopes. It was 3 A. M. Fri
day morning when we sighted the tower
light at Trinidad. We rowed till ex
hausted. No headway could be gained.
We came to the decision to take our
chances to land on the beach, which wo
did without upsetting our boat or losing
a man. Wo landed at 11:15 A. M com
pletely fatigued. We landed near a ranch,
a family by the name of Teckers occupy
ing the place. They gave us dinner."
Among the seven, was M. Johnson, ono
of the men on watch at the time, and
who. It is said, reported tho vessel a few
minutes before the collision occurred.
Every effort had been made to obtain
information whether lights were seen on
the French bark before the collision oc
curred. Ephralm Johnson, who was on
watch at the time, was questioned.
"Did you see a light on. the ship'
"I have nothing to say," he replied.
Charles Gleason, one of those landed on
the beach near Trinidad, came to this
city In the same hack with Mr. Johnson.
On the way to Eureka Mr. Johnson told
Gleason that he saw the light of the
French bark fully 203 yards away, and
reported them twice to Second Officer
Lupp. "At the time a stiff southerly wind
was blowing," he aid. "The bark ap
proached nearer until It struck our ves
sel on the starboard side." A. Holrrtes,
boatswain, corroborated the, statement
made by Gleason that Johnson did see
the lights. f
THE FATAL THIRTEEN.
How It Figured in the Last Trip of
the "Walla Walla.
SEATTLE. Jan. 4. Those persons who
are given to the belief that misfortune
and Ill-luck attaches to the number "13"
will see something significant In tho fact
that the Walla Walla went down while
on her 313th voyage since she became a
freight and passenger steamer. During
the time she has been on her present run
she has been operated with remarkable
regularity and has been remarkably free
from unfortunate Incidents. In fact the
only circumstance In her lifetime which
can be dignified by the term accident oc
curred In 18S4. when she touched bottom
off Marrowstone Point near Port Town
send, while on her way to San Francisco.
So slight was the damage done to her on
that occasion that she proceeded on her
trip to San Francisco before being re
paired. Had It not been for the strike of the
machinists in this city last Summer, and
the fact that the large metal-working
shops held out against their demands, the
Walla Walla would probably today be
tied up at the Moran Bros.' dock, un
dergoing repairs, and another vessel
WOUld hflVft hppn nmnlm In Yiot n1nrn
Last Spring the Pacific Coast Company j
jet a contract to the Moran Bros.'
Company to overhaul and remodel the
vessel preparatory to making a collier of
her. Under the terms of this contract,
the work was to be begun on November
1 last. But the shipbuilding firm was
unable to fulfill Its contract and It was
put off until March 1 next.
The company operating the vessel has,
owing to efficient management and Its
practice of taking every possible precau
tion, had but very few accidents of Im
portance. In fact, this is the first ocean
disaster the company ever had resulting
in loss of life among the passengers. The
Walla Walla was under the command of
Captain Hall, who is recognized by all
marine men who know him as being ono
of the ablest mariners and best disciplin
arians In command of any vessel on the
Coast His work recently In rescuing the
British ship Nelson at sea off the coast
of Washington during a heavy storm has
been widely commented on as one of the
finest acts of seamanship ever known on
the Coast
History of the Walla Walla.
The following description and history
of the Walla Walla was prepared under
the personal direction of President J. D.
Farrel, of the Pacific Coast Company:
Length 310 feet, beam 40 feet, depth 22
feet.
Registered gross tonnage, 3070.
Net tonnage, 2163.
Dead-weight capacity, 2300 tons.
Schooner rigged, two masts.
54 staterooms.
174 cabin passengers.
295 second-class.
Licensed to carry 475 passengers.
Compound engines. 1900-horsepower. Six
Scotch marine boilers.
ENGINES IN PORTLAND.
The new engine weighs 126,000 pounds on Its driving wheels, has cylinders 19x26
Inches and carries 200 pounds of steam.
The increase in size of switching machines Is rendered necessary by tho
increase in size of freight cars. Whereas, freight cars 11 years ago were of
capacities ranging between 15 and 20 tons, now they run between 20 and 40
tons, and It requires correspondingly heavy motive power to handle them
satisfactorily in the switching yards. Tho new machine, gives every satisfaction.
Speed, 12 knots.
Crew, SO men.
The life-saving apparatus was ample
and complete In every particular. There
were eight lifeboats, with a capacity of
30 passengers each; six life-rafts, 15
each. Seven hundred life-preservers. All
recently examined and in good order.
Vessel originally built for freighter.
Converted to freight and passenger ship
in 1SS9.
Only accident, touched bottom on Mar
rowstone Point, Puget Sound, In 18S4.
Completed voyage to San Francisco be
fore making repairs.
Under the term3 of tho contract
awarded Moran Bros, early last year,
to reboller and overhaul the vessel, she
was to have been delivered to the ship
building firm November 1 last The ma
chinists and boiler-makers' strike made
It Impossible for Moran Bros, to keep
tnelr contract, and the time was extended
to March 1 next
The vessel is valued at $500,000, and 13
fully Insured.
THE COLLIDING VESSEL.
French Bark Max 3Iay'Have Caused
l the Disaster.
SEATTLE, Jan. 4. A special to the
Times from Neah Bay says: The steam
collier Washtenaw, which has Just ar
rived, reports being In company with the
French bark Max off Cape Mendocino
January Z. The Max reported being In
collision with a large passenger steamer
at 4 o'clock that morning. The Max had
three holes stove. In her bow, and her
stem was bent to port, but no lives were
lost on the bark. The Washtenaw offered
to tow the Max to Puget Sound, but the
offer was refused, as It was thought the
vessel could be navigated to San Fran
cisco. It Is probable that the passenger
steamer was the Walla Walla. The Max
was bound from Havre to San Francisco
In ballast
The Victoria Passengers.
VICTORIA, B, C, Jan. 4.-Mrs. Wlll-
jjams, one of the surviving passengers of
the Walla Walla, is principal of the Girls'
Central School, Victoria, and was return
ing home after visiting Mr. and Mrs. H.
Clausen, of Sausallto.
News of the wreck of the Walla Walla
caused the greatest excitement here un
til the names of passengers were received,
and it was found that so few Victorians
were aboard. Mrs. Johnstone, who is
missing, Is believed to be tho wife of
Captain Johnstone, late of Dawson, who
was In San Francisco lately trying to
charter a vessel to engage In the halibut
fishing business. She lost two daughters
in the Point Elllce bridge disaster hero
five years ago. Anson F. Bowness la
night manager of tho Western Union of
fice here. R. Nevln is believed to be a
former cyclist of this city. W. Duttler Is
not known here. Mrs. Hastings was re
turning from a visit to friends In San
Francisco.
Dr. and Mrs. Allen From Near Tacoma
SEATTLE. Jan. 4. Dr. B. F. "Allen and
wife, who are among those missing In
the steamship Walla Walla disaster, were
residents of Fox Island, about 20 miles
from Tacoma. Since taking up his resi
dence at Fox Island he gave up the prac
tice of medicine. Accompanied by Mrs.
Allen, he went to San Francisco to visit
his son-in-law, George Macklln. Both
Dr. and Mrs. Allen are very old. Many
years ago. he was County Physician of
Pierce County. His s.on is secretary of
the Seattle Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation. Survivors Leave Eureka.
EUREKA, Cal.. Jan. 4. When the
steamer Pomona left here today for San
Francisco with the survivors of the Walla
Walla wreck, fully 3000 or more people
were at the dock. Cheer after cheer was
sent up when Captain Hall, of the wrecked
vessel, reached the gangplank, and was
greeted by his passengers and crew. The
cheering was testimony of the good feel
ing for the gallant captain and his effi
cient service rendered after the collision.
Many of the passengers had recovered
from the shock and exposure. The steam
ship company gave free transportation to

ONLY THE MASTERS
WORK SUCH CURES
Doctor Copeland Asks That His Friends Call
On or Write Those Who Testify That They
Have Been Cured, and Investigate
for Themselves.
The Copeland Speclallnts never in
any statement published 1 them
attempt to frighten or delude tho
people Trho may be suffering? from
any chronic disease. Frequently
however, by their warnings and in
atractlona, they have saved great
suffering and loss of life.
Repeatedly during the past ten
years have the Copeland physicians
issued warnings through the public
press upon the startling prevalence
of Catarrhal conditions and the evils
resulting therefrom.
The Copeland Physicians have
cured thousands suffering front all
forms of Chronic Disease. In fact,
they have been public benefactors
because they have placed their in
comparable treatment and medicine
within the reach of the rich and
poor alike. They are now giving
their time, treatment and medicines
in every case, no matter what your
disease, for $3.00 per month.
Don't be distressed by big fees of
-medical sharks. Copeland Special
ists aro the masters that cure.
ALL HIS LIFE HE SUFFERED
FROM CATARRH CURED
BY COPELAND TREATMENT
Mr. E. XV. Mathews, Wcndllng, Or
Employed by the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co.
"I had catarrh all my life. I can. re
member that as n child I -was choked
up and could not breathe through the nos-
trils. I suffered in this wajj until my
treatment at the Copeland Institute,
which brought me prompt relief.
"I did not know what It was to breathe
freely through the nostrils. Sometimes one
nostril would be stopped up and some
times the other. "When I had cold my
head would become so stopped up and the
nose so firmly closed that I could not
breathe through it. I breathed almost
entirely" through the mouth, and at night
would wake up with my throat dry and
parched. My head and throat were filled
with mucus, which kept me hawking
and pittlng continually. Gradually I
lost my sense of smell and ,when I began
treatment It was nearly destroyed.
"Before my treatment at the Copeland
Institute I had used enough medicine to
drown me. I took forty-eight bottles
of one kind, but it was liko taking so
much water, and It was the same with
everything I tried. I had watched the
cures made at the Copeland Institute tot
a long time and finally decided to try it.
Under the treatment I received my
Goodiand and Florevllle yesterday, and
the mall pouch robbed of Its contents.
JACK TARS' NIGHT.
Sailors' Concert for Portland Sea
men's Institute.
To express their appreciation of the ex
cellent work done among sailors visiting
thi3 port by the Portland Seamen's Insti
tute, the sailors now In this city are to
tender a complimentary concert to the
Institute Thursday evening. Tho arrange
ments are all In the hands of sailors, un
der the direction of John C. Bees, of the
British ship Anaurus, and J. Atkinson, of
the British bark Pax, and others. Sail
ors will sing; sea songs and give recita
tions. Tho affair will be under the
patronage of the foreign Consuls, and
will be well forth attending. One of the
committee said last night: "The Sea
men's Institute Is doing such a good work
among us that we feel such an entertain
ment is necessary to show shore folks
what we think of the Rev. Mr. Cummlng
Bruce and his fellow-workers. The Insti
tute Is a mother to us."
One Suggestion From Yamhill.
Newberg Graphic.
In a symposium of short readable ar
ticles In Sunday's Oregonlon, by represen
tative men of Portland relative to the best
Interests of their city, one man makes the
very practical suggestion that all streets
bo labeled and all houses carefully num
bered, holding that at present It Is ex
tremely difficult for the oldest citizen to
determine just where he's at, to say noth
ing of the stranger within the gates. This
Is advice most sensible. Especially does
it appeal to us denizens of "the country,"
who sometimes make short pilgrimages to
the metropolis, and who, If our geograph
ical Instinct happens to be at fault, are
in danger of not finding our way home
ward. Another suggestion which might
not bo altogether out of place would be
that a few more "cops" might be sprink
led around the streets of Portland very
advantageously. It has often been re
marked by strangers that these blue-coated
worthies are less In evidence in Port
land than In any city of their acquain
tance. This may be a tribute to the or
derliness of our metropolis, but we take
it that a policeman has other duties be
sides using his club in breaking heads.
The poor man Is really up against it In
Portland who is advised to "tell his trou
bles to a policeman."

Now I breathe freely through my nos
trils at all times, my smell Is as acute a.i
it ever was, and I have no trouble of any

havo derived from the Copeland treat
ment. I would advise all sufferers to tra
It."
OTHER CURES.
Mr. . P. Mitchell, 151 Seventeenth!
St.. Portland. Or. I had suffeerd from ca
tarrh for 15 years. My head, throat, eara
and stomach were in bad shape. I could;
not breathe through the nostrils; myj
throat was raw and sore and I coughed alj
the time. My hearing was so much inn
paired that I could not understand com-j
mon conversation.
Everything I ato caused great distress,
I was sick at the stomach and nauseated,,
with a heavy oppressed feeling ln tha
stomach. I lost 30 pounds and myj
strength was greatly exhausted.
Drs. Copeland & Montgomery cured me,
Mr. Joe IT. Boos. Ituttc, Mont. I
suffered 10 years with my head, throat an3
bronchial tubes.
'My nostrils were stopped up, forcing ma
to breath through the mouth, and cloggedj
with- crusts and scabs. I had nosebleed
without any apparent cause. j
I had frequent attacks of asthma, when
tho bronchial tubes seemed to contract!
and to produce a tightness in tho chest
that made It impossible to fill tho lungs
with air. At night I would bo propped;
up with pillows In order to get sleep or
rest.
I would say to all sufferers from, ca-j
tarrhal troubles that the Copeland treat-!
ment Is all right. It cured me after every-l
thing elso had failed.
