About 2300 people attended the field
day of the Portland Hunt Club at the

Arnld Ideal Summer 'weather, with a
slight, gentle breeze blowing from the
Southwest, and in presence of about 2300
people, the annual field day of the Port
land Hunt Club took place at Irvington
race track yesterday afternoon. Not a
better day could have been got, even If
It had been made to order. Not a drop
cf rain descended upon either the just or
the unjust, and the atmospheric condl-
Mlke Wliidoxn did lilts perennial stunt
tions wore such that, although the race
horses came home dripping with, perspira
tion after their hard work, none of them
took cold after a rubdown. The sensa
tion of the meet was the two-mile hurdle
race over eight hurdles, in which Rocke
feller made the run in 4.3C2-5, and won
by a nose, in a most exciting finish, the
rider being F. W. Leudbetter. The people
in the grandstand cheered themselves
hoarse with delight.
Sweet femininity, clad In white Summer
gowns, and wearing shaded straw and
picture hats, -were in the ascendant on
the grandstand. Looking from the Judges'
stand, one saw wave after wave of white
gowns opposite. Yet thero were plenty
of young men to do honors on the occa
sion, and lots of small-boy attendants.
There were many smart turn-outs in tho
way of traps and carriages. One exceed
ingly smart drag was observed, filled with
guests of Mr. and Mrs. I. Lang, the names
being: Mr. and Mrs. L Lang. Mr. and
Mrs. F. Seller, Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Flelsch
ner, Mrs. Charles Kohn, Mr. and Mrs. I.
Lowengart, Mrs. Marcus Flelschner, Mrs.

Hilda Jacobs, Miss Frances Jacobs, Miss
Seller, Miss Florence Kohn. Miss May
HIrsch, Miss Clementine Hirsch, Miss
Newmann, Miss Hexter, Miss Stern, Miss
Lang and Sanford Lowengart. Among
the spectators present were Mayor Rowe
and Mayor-elect "Williams, the latter be
ing heartily applauded when the crowd
caught sight of him. The starter Was M.
D. "Wisdom, and the judges were A. H.
Tanner, "W. W. Cotton and TV. L. Arch
ambeau. But in one of the sixth events,
that of tho single traps, when one of Mr.
Archambeau's horses ran, Dr. J. D. Fen
ton took Mr. Archambeau's placo as
judge- The bugler and timekeeper was
Sampson "Waller, a young veteran of tho
Second Oregon and Thirty-ninth Regi
ment, United States Infantry.
Opening Parade of llnnt Club.
Mounted on his black mare, Gipsy
Queen, James Nlcol. ringmaster of the
Portland Riding Academy, called the first
event, a parade of 20 mounted members
of the club Misses Morrison, Lawrence,
Shogren, Ainsworth, "Wren, Burns. Gllll
land. Rockwell and Mrs. Howard and Mrs.
Buffum; Messrs. Campbell, Strain, Sabin,
Harridan, Jenkins, Cronin. Chase, Miller,
"Willis and Patterson. First, the riders
walked in "twos" in front of the admir
ing grandstand, and came round in a
circle. The display of perfectly groomed,
shining horseflesh drew forth round after
round of applause, and one scarcely knew
what to admire most the intelligent
horses, looking as If they knew they were

the principal actors, or the skillful riders,
who had them under so satisfactory con
trol. After the stately parade, came the
hard work known as class-exercise.
"Twos," came the sharp command, and
away the 20 riders trotted, followed by
the order, "Fours" and "All abreast."
The latter drew warm applause from the
grandstand then lively, eager horses
met 10 others In the center of the ring and
formed a half-circle. The alignment was
exceedingly good, and there was scarcely
an equine nose missing when one glanced
narrowly along the line. At last the trot
ters were guided to the paddock, amid
many admiring glances from the white
gowned critics. The lady riders wore
dark riding skirts, white waists, dark
Derby hats and red badges.
One-Mile Running: Race.
Then came more exciting work, the one
mile running race for the W. J. Burns
cup; one round the course. There were
seven entries:
Jim Budd, owned by D. B. Howard, ridden
byV S Howard. Morengo, owned and ridden
by E. M. O'Brien, Rockefeller, owned and
ridden by F. TV Leadbetter. Rosebud's Only,
owned by Mrs. Bybee, ridden by "Walter Mc
Common, Kitty Norfolk owned and ridden by
A. J. Coff man. Pemersy, owned by Miss
Frances Lewis, ridden by C H. Lewis, Easter
Sunday, owned by R. Uhlman, ridden bj E.
M Lazarus.
There was nearly a warm mlx-up at
the start, as one horse began to rear and
plunge, and that made No. 4, Rosebuds
Only, Indulge In sidesteps. Ultimately,
after two attempts, the horses passed
under the wire in fair order, and the or
der came from the judges' stand: "Away
they go." It almost seemed as if the
horses knew what was said, for the nerv
ous horses, those who had caused trouble
at the start .steadied down and strained
every muscle to beat the others. At the
half-mile it was seen thaf E. M. O'Brien,
on Morengo, was leading, with Jim Bud,
Pomeroy and Kitty Norfolk in close pur
suit. F. "W. Leadbetter, on Rockefeller,
was a favorite, but the horse did not run
as well as he usually does. A. J. Coff
man, on Kitty Norfolk, sped along at a
great pace, and was rapidly gaining on
the leaders, when the rider unfortunately
missed his stirrups. He had to hold In
the mare until be regained his supports,
but by this time the three leaders were
too far ahead. Mr. O'Brien was an easy
first in 1:494. but there was an exciting
finish between V. S. Howard and C H.
Lewis, but the former won second place,
with Mr. Lewis at third.
Tandem Trot One Mile.
"Tandem trot, one mile" was the third
event, and the pace was necessarily much
quieter". The prize was the F. W. Lead
better cup, and there were five entries:
Captain S. and Dexter, owned b James Nlc
ol, drhen by Mrs. F. G Buffum. Flora and
Dancing Girl, owned by J Wesley Ladd and
A. M. Cronin, ridden by A. M Cronin Monroe
and Nirvana, owned b Mrs Bourne and W
J Burns, ridden by James Xicol. Trixey and
Mary L . owned by Mrs. Graff. Idden by E. T
Chase. Birdie and Oleta, owned by C B "i tills
and R. IL Jenkins, ridden by R, H Jenkins
Flora and Dancing girl set the pace,
and there trotting was one of the enjoy
able sights of the day. Their action was
good, and they hardly missed a step
Their rider, A. M Cronin. passed under
the wire in 3:06, with E. T. Chase second
and R. H. Jenkins thiixl.
Soma interest was at one time felt in
the fifth event, a junior race for one
half mile for the J. Wesley Ladd cup. In
stead of seven horses entering, as origi
nally arranged, onlj these three stopped up
at the start:
Jim Budd, owned by MIbs D. B. Hdward.
drlven by Leslie 011 er.
Winnie, owned by F. Jones, drl en by Hamil
ton Corbett.
Cplonel Ranger, owned by V. S. Howard.
drKen by G. Eastman
The three horses came up in a cloud of
dust, with Loslle Oliver easily in the
lead; time, 0.55. "Winnie" got second.
Trap Show.
The show part of the programme came
in the -sixth event, where the women and

girls in the grandstand made their pres

of applause. Three demure-looking ponies
and traps appeared before the grand
stand, 'in this order:

br A. T. W. Kerr.
Dotty, owned and driven by Anita Burns.
Bobby Burns, Jr., owned and drhen by L. I
Thompson.
"Let them go," said Mr. Cotton, and the
other two judges looked on in an inter
ested way. "Dotty," a cute, placid-looking
pony, under the charge of Anita
Burns, contentedly trotted along to the
northern end of the grandstand, and then
turned around and came back, with as

across the Wlllapa River on a raft yes
terday, and said he was going to Cos

of Riverside, is a rough one, but it can
be made. It Is now believed that Under
wood Is still in the woods near Tokeland,
as his feet were too sore to permit him
to walk very far. He walked from Aber

and there exchanged them for some can

Conflict of Authority Over Poxscsslon
of Mrs. Underwood.
ABERDEEN. June 7. The Sheriff's of
fice of King County made a demand upon
Deputy Marshal Pajette here today
through one of its deputies by the name
of Quilter for the custody of Mra Under
wood, and her removal at once to Seat
tle, but Payette, feting upon the advice
of City Attorney E. E. Shields, refuted
to give the woman up, and she is still
here, with Quilter waiting to get her.
There has been some spirited controversy
carried on by wire all day, but without
avail. Sheriff Cudlhee left the original
warrant here wnen he went away Thurs
day, and with it the most positive orders
not to permit Mrs. Underwood to be
taken away until his return.
Quilter alleged that he met Cudlhee
at Centralia Thursday morning, while the
Sheriff was on his way to Astoria to take
up the search for Underwood, and that
Cudlhee had given him Instructions to
come to Aberdeen, secure Mrs. Under
wood and take her at onco to Seattle.
The officers here are determined, how ever,
to hold Mrs Underwood until the return
of Sheriff Cudlhee.

to defend his .eon. whom he regards as
good as caught. The father said:
"Paul and Kte young wife came home
from Seattle Sunday, and etemed very
happy. Tuesday I received the news that

" 'Xo you know,' said I, 'that you and
Paul are to be arrested for the murder of

"She dropped her head and stood In

" 'Did your baby die?' I asked.

" 'Yes.'
" "Did your house burn down? I asked.
"She etood In silence for a long time,

roughly dressed, wore, a dark cap, carried

TUCSON. Ariz., Juno 7. Advices from
Ilormosillo today say that the Yaqul
trouble Is practically settled and that
travel 13 perfectly safe throughout Sonora.
Governor Torres Is In the field with a
sufficient force to quell any trouble. The
killing of the son of Rlcardo Johnson,
the well-known mining man, by Yaqul In
dians is denied at Hermosillo, according
to latest advices. The first fight, in wC!sh
the forces under Governor Isabel killed
20 Yaquis, practically ended the trouble.
It Is estimated that not over 100 Yaquis
arc out, and these are in hiding from the
troops. All that remains is to round these
up and the trouble will be ended.

LINE TO HILL8B0R0?.
Franchise Application Up to
Street Committee.
WHYHAS IT NOT BEEHGRANTED?
Petition Insinuates That Semthern
Pacific Influence Has Been Potent,
and Conncllmen Make Vlg-
oronsDenlals.
The question of granting a franchlsa to
the West Side & Suburban Railway Com
pany (the HUlsboro line) was brought
before the street committee of 'the Com
mon Council yesterday and caused trou
ble that bore a strong resemblance to
unfriendliness. v Chairman Bronaugh In
dignantly denied an implied charge that
the Southern Pacific Company, or
E. T. CHASES SECQSb.
any electric railway company, had in
fluenced him or any other member of the
council to oppose the franchise for the
new corporation. Councilmen Branch,
Gllsan and Merrill spoke to the same ef
fect, and, while the conversation was In
strict accord with the dignity of the
United States Senate, it was plainly no
ticeable that, all the councilmen were (
"noi unaer tne collar.
The petition of the West Sido & Sub
urban Company was third in the list of
Deputy City Auditor Grutze. When it
was taken up. Secretary Heidel, of tho
HUlsboro Board of Trade, read a act of
resolutions adopted at a mass meeting of
the citizens Tuesday. Substantially they
were that HUlsboro, Cornelius and Forest
Grove and the farming community In
general would be bonefited by the rail
road; that the County Court of Washing
ton County had granted a franchise to
the Multnomah County line, and that
Washington,County In a solid body asked
the council to grant the franchise, which
would result In the upbuilding of tho
Western portion of Multnomah County,
and which would benefit fhe City of Port
land and Washington County. The reso
lutions were signed by State Senator W.
H. Wehrung, as president, and F. SL
Heidel and TV. V. Wiley, respectively,
sercetary and treasurer, of the HUlsboro
Board of Trade. Mr. Heidel Bald that
Senator Wehrung and others were ex
pected to be present, but owing to a mis
understanding, they could not attend the
meeting. The railroad, he said, would be
of groat benefit to Multnomah and Wash
ington Counties.
Attorney Ed. Mendenhall, representing
the property Interests of himself and a
number of others In the west end of tho
county, asked that the franchise be
granted. Ho was certain that a misun
derstanding of the purposes of the com
pany had arisen In the council, or the
privilege requested would have been giv
en long ago. Mr. Mendenhall then read
tho petition for the franchise, which was
presented to the council at the meeting
of Wednesday, and which said that the
Southern Pacific, owning the West Sido
line to HUlsboro and Forest Grove, and
the stockholders of various electric rail
ways of the city, strongly opposed tho
ordinance granting tho franchise. Tho
people of Forest Grove had asked the
Southern Pacific Company to place a
Sunday train on the line as a matter of
convenience, and the Southern Pacific
people had rejected the application on the
ground that business did not warrant the
running of an extra train. When tho
company learned of the application of the
inter-urban company, It readily granted
the petition of tho residents of Forest
Grove.
v Vo Improper Influence.
"The Southern Pacific Company," said
Chairman Bronaugh, when Mr. Menden
hall concluded, "was not at any time
represented at our meetings, and neither
it nor any other corporation ever exer
cised any influence over the council. If
the residents of that section through
which the road will pass will favor the
franchise, I shall vote for It; if not, I
shall not. I have property on Lovejoy
street, and I am In favor of the railway
always have been, and always will be.
But I must see the names of a majority
of the interested property owners on the
list before I shall vote for the granting
of the franchise. I have been misrepre
sented, on the streets for the past two
weeks by people who said that I was
against the railway."
Mr. Gllsan said that he was against
the ordinance granting the franchise be
cause a majority of the residents of the
district were against it. Mr. Bronaugh
considered it an insult to the council ami
to the street committee that any men
tion of the Southern Pacific as influenc
ing or having1 Influenced the two bodies
was made In the petition. Mr. Branch
said that the committee and the council
had no desire to obstruct beneficial im
provements, but the people living along
the proposed line had the right to remon
strate, and their remonstrance had been
acted on by the council. Tho railway
people had appearedonce before the com
mittee, but not again. Mr. Morrill said
that, if his memory served him correctly,
the principal objection to the ordinance
was that the council knew nothing about
the financial backing of the line. Per
sonally, he wished to see the railway en
ter Portland, as It would benefit the city
greatly.
After a general talk about the finances
of the company, Mr. Merrill said tho lino
would be worth $200 000 to Portland. Mr.
Gllsan did not want to see another lino
through the residence portion of the city,
unless the residents petitioned for it.
Some connection might bo made with
the railways now being operated, and
which supply adequate facilities for tho
Northwest End. In answer, Mr. Heidel
said that. If the franchise were not grant
ed, the road would not be built.
Backlnfc From Philadelphia.
Attorney Mendenhall then road a letter
which gave tho first Inkling of the
finances of the company. It was "from
Charles E. Barrett, an attorney of In
dianapolis; was dated April 29. and was
addressed to Alexander Graydon, constructing-
engineer of the line, and wa3 In
part as follows:
"Having reference to our conversation
while in this city, I bog leave to say that
I have seen my Philadelphia people and
presented to them the matter of con
structing the electric road from Portland
West, as outlined by you and as set
forth In your articles of Incorporation, a
copy of which you exhibited to me.
"This matter appeals to them, pro
vided, however, that you can secure
proper franchise rights In the City of
Portland without any unnecessary bur
dens. As you are aware, In this city we
1 now have in operation four interurban
lines, covering a mileage of nearly 400
miles, and we have seven other lines In
eontemplatlon reaching out In every di
rection from this city. These traction
lines do morp to build up a city than
any other thing that can be brought Into
the city, and therefore every encourage
ment should be handed out to men con
nected with the building of these lines.
The Investment Is large, the risk Is great,
and cities like Portland should not bur
den foreign capital where they aro seek

structed and put in operation you will

PARIS, June 7. France has passed
through a Cabinet crisis and the Combes
Ministry has been formed without a rip
ple of excitement among the general pub
lic or even In the lobbies of the Chamber
of Deputies. M. Rouvier today accepted
the portfolio of Finance in the new Min
istry and the Cabinet Is thus completed.
M. Verardl, a member of the Chamber of
Deputies, will become Under Secretary of
Posts.
The members of the new Cabinet pro
ceeded to the palace of the Elysee at 6
o'clock this evening, and M. Combes pre
sented them to M. Loubet, who signed
the decrees appointing thom Ministers.
They will hold their first council Tuesday
morning and will present themselves be
fore the Chamber of Deputies in the af
ternoon. Senator Combes was the first name
mentioned as a successor to M. Waldeck-
Rousseau, and Immediately alter tne mi
ter's resignation as Premier became offi
cially known, and as soon as M. Drisson
announced that he could not form a Cab
inet, a Combes Ministry became a cer
tainty. As was inevitable after the ver
dict of the country and the unequivocal
vote In the Chamber of Deputies In the
election of M. Bourgoolse as President,
the new Cabinet was chosen almost en
tirely from tho Radicals, M. Rouvlor be
ing the least advanced member of It. MM.
Domergu and Pelletan represent the Rad
ical Socialists, and M. Mougeot, tho Min
ister of Agriculture, represents the Rad
nni T.nft MM fnnihas. Deleave. Trouil
lot, Vaflet Chaume and Maruejols aro
tho Republican Radicals.
M. Combes physically is the smallest
member of the Cabinet, but in splto of
his 67 years he is very active and ener
getic and lives modestly near the Senate
house. He Is president of the Democratic
group In the Senate. The positions ho
has held, chairman of the committee of tho
Law of Associations, and "reporter of the
bill on secondary education, marked him
out for the Premiership. He Is an elo
quent orator, and while little known him
self outside of parliamentary circles, ho
has selected his principal colleagues from
among the best-known and qualified
Radical leaders. In the selection of MM.
Delcasse, Rouvier and Chaumle he coun
terbalanced the Cabinet with a moderate
element that will guarantee It against
the adentumus fulfillment of tne drastic
innovations which figured largely In tho
electoral promises of several of the new
Ministers. These promises, if carried out,
would heap 1CO.0OO.O0O francs on the annual
expenditure, whereas the policy demand-
promised In the Ministerial declaration is
one of serldus retrenchment, in order to
retrieve the already embarrassed finan
cial situation.
The presence of M. Rouvier, who enters
the Cabinet in the role of the savior of
his country's finances. Is a distinctly re
assuring feature, though many pollt'cians
question whether the divergent views of
M. Rouvier and the advanced Radicals
promise long life for the Ministry-
The Temps says: "The future wUl show
whether the understanding between M.
Rouvier and his colleagues will last and
suffice to restore the country to the calm
It needs and preserve and de elop Its pros
perity. The moment has come when a
policy of sound finances is the beginning
and end of all French politics."
Tho Journal des Debats. which repre
sents moderate opinion, thinks a conflict
Is near and Inevitable, and says: "Tho
policy of ths Ministry, as outlined. Is a
negation appeasement. We are promised
a brutal application of the law of asso
ciations and the suppression of liberty of
teaching. We have serious reasons to be
lievo the Ministry will not last three
years, as did its predecessor."
Beautv Doctor Xot Released.
CHICAGO, June 7. E. W. Johnson, tho
"beauty doctor," charged with causing
the death of Miss May Thompson, who
died May 29 after wearing a mask pre
pared by the doctor, was denied his lib
erty on a writ of habeas corpus today by

there was sufficient evidence to hold John

placed his bond at $5000. Johnson was
unable to give bund and was remanded
