Frank Freeman, of Oregon City, was to night awarded the decision in the seventh round over Andy King, champion light weight of Montana, on a foul committed In a breakaway. King persisted in fouling from the start, although repeatedly cau tioned by Referee Bert Rhodes, of Port land. The fight was advertised as a 20 round contest, but it was mutually agreed tonight to limit it to ten rounds. Freeman, being an Oregon City boy. was the favor ite but no betting took place. Both men fought furiously from the start, honors being about even in the opening round. By a succession of severe body blows and a punch in tne abdomen. King knocked Freeman to the floor in the second round. The local boy took seven of the count and renewed lighting with vigor. The suc ceeding four rounds went to tho credit of Freeman, who was tiring his adversary, who is several years his senior. Friends of Freeman do not believe the Montana man could have lasted ten rounds. The main event was preceded by two Interesting preliminaries, both being de clared draws. Mike Kenney and Charles Clark, both of Portland, boxed four rounds In which the former had the best of the fight, but the latter put up a good game scrap. Gallagher Bowers and "Winnie Boy Ian, of this city, followed In a four-round exhibition. Boylan was tho favorite, but he was thoroughly entertained by Bowers. The Freeman-King mill and both pre liminaries were pronounced the best ex hibitions ever seen here by the 300 who witnessed the contests. TJNIO.CE HOUSE SHOW PLANNED.

LONDON, May 23. In a letter to the Times, occupying three, columns. Dr. Trlstam. chancellor of the London dio cese, today defends his action In grantlffg the Vanderbllt-Rutherford marriage li cense.

Unless all signs fall, Lucile Col lette will some day be a violinist of whom the whole Pacific Coast will be proud. obliged to grant Mr. Vanderbllfs applica tion. The chancellor's answer to the Bishop of London's severe criticism forms the text for a long editorial in the Times, which says Dr. Trlstam's argument opens up an Important controversy between the state and the cnurch. The Times main tains that the Rev. Dr. Hadden's act in marrying Mr. Vanderbllt and Mrs. Ruth erford was due solely to an error of judgment, which It hopes will not be copied by others of tho English clergy, and deprecates the "heavy moral censure which seems to be Implied by the Bishop of London's language." The Times upholds Mr. Trlstam's con tention that he had no right to Interfere in a matter so dubious, wherein the House of Lords and the House of Commons had themselves legislated In direct contradic tion of each other and "to the general moral sense of the public" The edito rial continues: "It would seem a great hardship that by the sole fault of the guilty party an inno cent person Bhould be placed during the lifetime of that partner under one of tho greatest and most trying disabilities that can be Inflicted, a disability which may involve the greatest temptation, and where Christian opinion has been and Is clearly divided.

COLLETTE Others left at Intervals of one minute. Owing to the participation In the contest of a number of Americans, great Interest has? been aroused among Americans, espe cially the members of the Newport set, who have arrived In large numbers. Many fashionable parties of Americans went out to Versailles In automobiles, and some chartered special trains. The American entries are: W. K. Vanderbllt, Jr.. driving a 92 horsepower machine; C. Gray Dlnsmore, 90-horsepower machine; W. T. Dannat. tho American artist. 60-horsepower machine: Foxhall Keene, 60-horscpower machine; oTd Sloan, a 40-horsepower machine. The gendarmes took possession of the beginning of the course from Versailles at 6 o'clock last night, prohibiting all traffic and keeping back the crowds In order to prevent accidents. Toward mid night, Versailles presented a scene of .ex treme activity, tne gaily illuminated cafes I being packed with Deonle waltlnar for the start of the race. It was estimated that 5000 automobiles were crowded in the thoroughfare, many of them decorated with Chinese lanterns. i j iie cars were uenuaea of an decoration, i many of them reeking with oil and giving I off foul vapors. The drivers wore rubber 1 coatf drawn high and tight around the throat, and had their faces and heads I completely enveloped in a mask. ?hey , did not wear goggles, but heavy plate slass was fixed in the mask, forming a j miniature window, which afforded protec : tlon to the eyes without Interfering ?tts the sight. The contestants sat very low to minimize the resistance to the -wind. Each competing -machine Is allowed to carry one mechanic Shortly after mid night, troops arrived on the scene and cleared the track, a total of 6000 soldiers and 4000 policemen being stationed on the road. W. K. Vanderbllt. Jr.. had a bad start at 4:18 A M. He presented himself at the starting post a minute late, and there had a slight discussion, which caused him to lose another minute. He was reported to have passed Ramboulllot. 2Sth in order, at 4:4o A. M., going In fine form. He was scheduled 00th In order of starting.

Nelson Jackson, of Vermont, and S. K. Crocker, of Seattle, both of whom are here ready for the Journey. All attempts heretofore to go overland In an automobile have come to grief either through the machines break ing down or because long stretches of sand were encountered through which the horseless carriages could make no head way. Dr. Jackson Is a man of wealth and Mr. Crocker is a devotee of the new ma chine and expert as a chauffeur. The very latest kind of gasoline machine, large and commodious, and 20-horse power, will be used. Enough gasoline can be carried to run the machine 250 miles. They will leave today.

The -verdict In the court-martial of Captain Carl F. Hart man, of the Signal Corps, charged with embezzlement of Government property, is a full and honorable acquittal. Major-General Davis, In reviewing tha verdict, disapproved of the findings, on the ground that the facts did not warrant them. It is understood that the court expressed the opinion that the prosecu tion of Captain Hartman was malicious. No statement to this effect, however, was published. POSTAL FRAUD DENIED. Auditor of the Treasury Replies to Charges of Talloch. WASHINGTON, May 23. Postmaster General Payne today made public the answers of Henry A. Castle, the Auditor of the Treasury for the Postofflce De partment, and "Controller Tracewell. of the Treasury, regarding the Tulloch charges for Irregularities In the postal ad ministration. The answers specifically deny allegations of wrongful procedure. Controller Tracewell charges. T. W. Gil mer, formerly an expert of his office, with abstracting, but subsequently returning upon demand, the letter authorizing Mr. Gilmer to examine the accounts of any postofflce except Washington and New York. Mr. Tracewell alleges that this letter was written by Gilmer himself, without any cuggesilon from the Con troller. Mr. Castle says that the eum of the tentative allowances by expert Gilmer and the Controller aggregated J932; that the credits Anally disallowed ont of a total of 50,000 were fl65. of which he claims only $7 was Incorrectly audited. This, Mr. Castle says. Is the basis of Mr. Tulloch's charge of disallowances of J20, 000 or $40.00). Regarding the settlement and subse quent revision of an account of the late Postmaster Wlllet'te, of Washington, which Involved alleged Irregularities In Porto Rico during tho military admlnlotra tlon there. Auditor Cat'tle replies that every Item believed to be Illegal was disallowed by tho Auditor's office. Mr. Castle continues: "Some months after one of the quarterly accounts of the Washington Postofflce re porting $2S5,S9G in expenditures for all purpcoes, with wveral thousand distinct Items, had been settled. T. W. Gilmer, representing the Controller of the Treas ury, withdrew the same for revision, as authorized by law. He was new to postal work and raised many entirely Ir relevant questions in a letter asking for 'explanations,' which Mr. Tulloch erron eously pltes as 'a letter from the Control ler disallowing certain amounts.' One after another the objections were aban doned by Expert Gilmer, or overruled by the Controller, who had secured from the official pledges that the Irregular prac tices exposed by Tulloch would be dis continued, until the amount ultimately disapproved was reduced to 1932.95." Auditor Castle gives details to show that this sum was legitimately expended. The answer of Controller Tracewell to the Postmaster-General denies that any political presMirc was brought to bear or attempted, to secure the suppression of the Investigation of tho Washington ac counts and that the examination bad been completed. He says the Attorney-General and the First Assistant Postmaster General charged Gilmer with being Impo lite and offensive, and that such com plaints caused his detail not removal to another office. The letter says Gilmer was "competent, painstaking and indus trious." RUSSIA AGAIN SCORED. Xovellst Gorki Terras the KIshlnef Massacre a Blot on Its History. BERLIN. May 23. Maxim Gorki, the Russian novelist, recently wrote an article on the KIshlnef massacres for a Nljnll Novgorod newspaper, but the censor re fused to allow Its publication. Gorki then sent the article to the St. Petersburg cor respondent of the Frankfurt Kllenee Presse, which prints it. The article says: "Russia has been disgraced more and more frequently of recent years by dark. aeeas, nut tne most disgraceful or an is the horrible Jewish massacre at KIshlnef, which has awakened our horror, shame and indignation. People who regard themselves as Christians, who claim to believe In God's mercy and sympathy these people on the day consecrated to the resurrection of their God from the dead occupy the time In murdering chil dren and aged people, ravishing the wo men and martyring the men of the race which gave them Christ. "Who bears the blame of this base crime, which will remain on us like a bloody blot for ages? We shall be unable to wash this blot from the sad history of our dark country. It would be unjust and too simple to condemn the mob. The lat ter was merely the hand which was guided by a corrupt conscience, driving It to mur der and robbery. For it Is well known that the mob at KIshlnef was led by men of cultivated society. But cultivated so ciety In Russia Is really much worse than the people who are goaded by their sad life and blinded and enthralled by the artificial darkness created around them. The cultivated classes are a crowd of cowardly slaves, without feeling of per sonal dignity, ready to accept .every life to save their ease and comfort, a weak and lawless element almost without con science and without shame, In spite of the elegant exterior." California Denounces Russia. SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. A mass meeting of citizens held here last even ing was largely attended by people of all creeds. It was presided over by Mayor Schmltz, and the speakers were men of all religious denominations. Resolutions de nouncing the barbarities perpetrated on the Jews In Russia were passed. The ex ecutive committee of the relief fund has already forwarded J5000 to New York. 110,000 Relief From Chicago. CHICAGO, May 23. Samuel J.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, May 23. A party of searchers wis today guided to the body of William Plummer, one of the herders lost In the blizzard of Sunday, by his shep herd dog. The animal came into Shelby last night, and from Its actions the rangemen there were convinced that its master was in distress. A posse set out at once, guided on by the dog. which bounded ahead so fast that the horses could hardly keep up. Nine miles nor th of Shelby the body of the herder was found, frozen stiff, lying In a ravine. Plummer was 52 years of age and un married. He was employed by A. K. Pres cott, of Helena.

Pacific National Schedule Arranged for Them to Loe Money, hut Butte Will Stay. I BUTTE, Mont., May 23. (Special.) The outlook for the return of the Montana clubs to California to play the concluding games of the season Is not very bright; In fact, the circumstances are such as to warrant the belief that the managements of the Butte and Helena teams will aban don any further games on their part in the Golden State. Despite the fact that they have reiterated their determination to remain with the Pacific National League and fight the Pacific Coast League to the last ditch, the breath of treachery Is in the air and the withdrawal of the Montanans later in the season would oc casion no surprise. Dark hints dropped from the "Inner circle" convey the im pression that a deliberate attempt Is be ing made on the part of some in the ranks of the Pacific National to wring the necks of Butte and Helena, and compel their withdrawal because the games are un profitable. With the Montana men out of the way, the Pacific National and the Pacific Coast leagues would merge, with the possible dropping of Spokane and Ta coma. Manipulation of the schedule of the Pa cific National, It Is alleged In certain quarters, was planned with a view to disrupting the Montana teams, as a re sult of which Butte has played five series away from home against opposition In each town. A long jump from San Fran cisco to Seattle was made, with the oppo sition team playing simultaneously. Spo kane and Tacoma, nearby towns, were 'then cut out, and the Montana teams given another continental trip back to their homes, to play In weather which. In Montana at this time of the year, la notorious for Its changes. Thus far three games have been postponed, and It Is still snowing In the mountains. In all fair ness, it is argued, games In Spokane and Tacoma to lessen the heavy expenses of traveling should have been arranged. When the Butte and Helena teams left California the Pacific Coast people went into San Francisco and Los Angeles and played against no opposition from the clubs of the Pacific National League. As a result of the alleged Jobbing of the schedule, Butte's share of the proceeds from the series of six games at Los An geles was less than J4S. For five games a less sum than $9 was the part of the Miners. One game yielded So cents. With the expenses of the Butte club averag ing not less than $50 dally, and license of $10 to be paid for each game, the finan cial success of Butte's Invasion of the territory of the Pacific 'Coast people can be readily seen. In San Francisco condi tions were slightly better and a little more than expenses was paid. One Sun day game yielded a profit of about $1S to the Butte management While there Is every likelihood of no further games being played between Cali fornia and Montana clubs, Butte and Helena will not desert the standard of the Pacific National, though the organiza tion of the rival league on the Coast, it is granted, will cause the formation of an interstate league next year. In which Mon tana and Utah clubs will form a part, with, perhaps, Spokane and Tacoma. In only this way, it is believed, can base ball be made profitable for Montana teams. In an official statement. President Charles H. Lane, of the Butte club, says: "In regard to the rumors regarding the financial condition of the Butte club of the Pacific National League, I desire to say that our club has met all its finan cial obligations and certainly intends to meet all Its dates according to the offi cial schedule. The Butte club manage ment has no intention, and never did have, of withdrawing from the Pacific National League to join any league whatever. The signing of Walter Wllmot. formerly man ager of the Minneapolis team of the Amer ican Association, to handle the Butte team for the season of 1903 should be ample evidence that Butte Intends to re main with the Pacific National League to the finish." ' ' STORY FROM PHILIPPINES i Involves a Tnrnln;? of the Tallies Between White nnd Blaclc. , "Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. If the story that a Kansas soldier in the Philippines writes home Is true, we are afraid our colored troops of the Forty ninth Infantry In those Islands are dis posed to be waggish at the expense of their white fellow-cltlzcns of this coun try. This Kansas soldier says that the mem bers of the regiment named, stationed at Slpa, have spread among the Filipinos the report that the black race is predominant In the United States; that the whites have recently been emancipated from slavery, and are not permitted to asso ciate on terms of equality with the blacks and that the President and other high government officials are all pure-blooded negroes. As a result of this view. It Is said that, when the colored regiment at Slpa was re lieved by a white regiment the whites were astonished to find themselves re garded as belonging to an Inferior race, and were treated with contempt by the natives. If the colored xoen of the Forty-ninth same dock, is tho II. S. Battleship " Mis souri." To tho extreme loft, in another dock, is tho soven-masted schooner "Thomas YT. Lawson," of 8,000 tons capacity. This is tho third time a German vessel of war has been repaired at these yards in comparatively short period. The wonderful advance mado in Amer ican shipbuilding in recent years and the splendid facilities for dry docking and repairing largo vessels is attracting tho attention of foreign governments, which aro finding it cheaper to repair vessels in American waters than to bring them homo from West India stations at much expense and loss of time. Infantry have been equal to the perpetra- J tlon of that witty reversal of actual con ditions and Imposing It upon the credu- j llty of the Filipino populace at Slpa, the I white troops will be obliged to acknowl- edge that their black comrades have scored "one on" them. This joke, whether It has actually been perpetrated or not, affords an excellent illustration of the effect of putting one's self in another's place, or, rather, of be ing put there. The feelings of a white infantryman in finding himself regarded as a member of an Inferior race recent ly emancipated from slavery may be faintly imagined by our white readers, but can only be fully understood by an Intelligent and educated black man or woman. Perhaps the white soldier grew red with Indignation, or perhaps, phil osophically, he concluded to laugh it off; but so long as he discerned the contempt of the natives for his humiliating status there must have been in his breast a keener appreciation of the perpetual mar tyrdom of the thoughtful and sensitive members of the colored race In, this coun try springing from the ostracism to which they are subjected by their white fellow citizens. Of course there are multitudes of col ored people who rarely or never experi ence any sense of the humiliation grow ing out of this proscription. Many of them are naturally obtuse, and hence in different All are accustomed to It from childhood, and, happily, the negro tem perament ordinarily is cheery and optim istic. But with all that granted, there are many, especially among those who have enjoyed the advantages of schools and colleges, and are conscious of pow ers and culture equal, sometimes super ior, to those of their white associates and-fellow-cltlzens. who. In their hearts, feel the sting of the Injustice which in all the activities and' associations of life discriminates against them on account of their race and color. RUNAWAYS FROM SEATTLE Three Boya Who Don't Relish Being Hobos men "Broke." Three runaway lads from Seattle were arrested by Officers Bailey and Gibson in the North End last night They gave their names as D.

They were locked up to await the orders of Chief Hunt this morning. Bank Defalcation Denied. NEW HAVEN, Conn.. May 23. The story sent out last night under a West port.
