cult Other News of the
Automobile 'World.
The Portland Automobile Club Is now
planning a big endurance run to Ealem.
which will be held in about two weeks.
The event will be open to all cars, and
It Is possible that a silver trophy will
be awarded to the winner. The club
has about $2000 In Its treasury, as a
result of the race meet held June 23 and
23, and will be able to offer a very sub
stantial prize. So far no definite ar
rangements have been made, but a
meeting of the club directors will be
held tomorow night for the purpose of
perfecting plans.
An endurance run to Salem would
not be a very trying test of a car, still
It would be a run in which any ordi
nary man could make a gool showing.
There would be very little need of re
pairs along the road, and any private
owner of a car could feel confident In
entering the event.
The roads to Salem are now In fine
condition. The run could De made very
easily In a day.
Such a race would be a better test
of a machine's capabilities than any
track meet or hill olimbinj contest.
The real road merit of a car would be
shown in such a race, there v-ould be
no danger of going through fences or
of machines upsetting, as on a track,
and no bad curves or dangerous banks
as on a hill climbing test.
The endurance run would undoubted
ly prove interesting. -
In an endurance run, the car entered
is usually a fully equipped touring car,
carrying a party of guests. The run,
if it is held, will come off some time
In the latter part of the month.
Ty.fr is a strong talk of the local
Auto Club expending a sum of money
for a road between Portland and the
coast.
The Portland-Seattle road Idea has
not been dropped entirely, but at pres
ent the Portland to the coast road plan
eems to be held in favor. .ue local
men would get a great deal of help
from the county authorities, and many
of the farmers living along the route
of the proposed road would do a great
deal to help out the plan.
S. S. Baldwin, one of the old-time livery
drivers, Is now located at Hood River,
Dr.
A. E. Smith's big Thomas livery car
was smashed last Tuesday night in a col
lision with a streetcar at the corner of
Twenty-first and Northrup streets. One
of the rear wheels was torn off. The
back of the car smashed and the ma
chine otherwise badly ruined. Mr. Smith
estimates the damage at 1000.
P. W. Winchester, a representative of
the Pierce factory, who was sent out to
drive a 45-horsepower Pierce In the race
meet held at Irvington, June 22 and 23.
left last Sunday for the East, and will
go direct to Buffalo. Mr. Winchester will
drive a Pierce in the Glidden trophy con
test. Percy Toung and W. B. DuVarney, of
Albany, both owners of '07 80-horsepower
touring cars, made the trip from Albany
to Portland on July 3, and went back on
July 6. The entire trip was made with
out any injury or accident. Both men,
accompanied by their families, left Al
bany early Wednesday morning, and ar
rived in town in time to attend the races.
They stayed in Portland over the Fourth,
helped celbrate, attended the local
amusements, and on Friday morning took
their machines out of the garages and
started back home. The trip both ways
was made without any repairs whatever,
and when the machines arrived back in
Albany they were In as good a condition
as before they left the shop.
R. A. Heath, local agent for the Tour
ist automobiles, Is preparing to enter one
or two of his cars in the endurance run
to be held on July 27. Mr. Heath is con
fident that his machine will make a good
showing In the contest, but is making
no exaggerated claims. The Tourist car
has entered a number of meets along the
coast- this season, and has captured 17
cups. The most recent victory secured
was at the Salt Lake City meet, when the
Pacific Coast made car captured a first
and two seconds. The Tourist factory Is
at Los Angeles.
F. J. Richardson, of this city, pur
chased a new six-cylinder 40-horsepower
Ford touring car from E. A. Bennett last
week. The car Is one of the latest type
of that popular make and is to be seen
frequently on the streets. Several other
sales of smaller machines of this make
were recorded last week.
Harry L. Keats, local agent for the
Pope-Hartford and other well-known
makes. Is authority for the statement that
most of the recent sales of machines have
been to out-of-town customers. Most of
the sales recorded were to residents of
Aberdeen, Wash., and Medford, Or. Ac
cording to Keats, Aberdeen has become
an ideal automobile city and seven large
Pope-Hartford cars have been sold there
recently, besides over a dozen small run
abouts and cars of other makes. Med
ford came near rivaling the Washington
lumber center in the number of machines
purchased. Keats is preparing several
of Jiis cars for entry in the coming en
durance run contest to be participated in
by Portland dealers.
Floyd J. Cook, a local agent who
makes a specialty of Stevens-Duryea cars,
has left for a few days outing at Long
Beach, Wash., where he takes one of his
larger cars to test It on the smooth,
sandy beach.
Wright & Dickinson, proprietors of the
Oregon Hotel, last week purchased a
large Stoddard-Day ton touring car from
Mr. Burgess, the local agent.
F. A. Bennett, the local agent for
Ford cars, feels very much elated over
the outcome of the great 24-hour en
durance race, held at Detroit on June
21. The Ford six-cylinder 40-horse-power
ran 1135 miles In 24 hours, beat
ing the world's record 412 miles, mak
ing an average of 47 7-24 miles per
hour for the entire 24 hours, doing 65
miles In one hour and doing two miles
at a rate of E8 seconds per mile. The
15-horsopower Ford runabout covered
798 -miles In the same contest, which
was within 25 miles of the previous
world's record for any car.

OPEN TO AMERICAN TOURISTS
Auto Clubs in Europe to Make Com-
ing Tour a Pleasant One.
Automobile clubs abroad have already
shown much interest in the proposed Gold
Cud Tour which will be made on the
Continent by Americans this Summer."
The Royal Automobile Club of Great
Britain has practically placed the entire
facilities of its splendidly organized club
at the disposal of the tourists, and the
leading clubs of other countries have
practically done the same.
I. W. Orde, secretary of the English
club, has not only sent many suggestions
and much Important information regard
ing the conditions abroad, but he has
also sent maps and guides showing the
best possible roads to follow. A num
ber of the maps are quite large and
go intc the minutest details.
The tour has aroused much interest
among many persons who are not
motorists. Already enough applica
tions have been received from indi
viduals who are not owners of cars to
fill six good-sized cars when the tour
begins. A number of Americans who
cannot spare the time to make the
entire tour have expressed their wish
to accompany the automobillsts for a
month or two.

OLDHELD BUUES "BOOZE"
DENIES THAT HE ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE IN HOTEL.
Stumbled and Fell Against Window,
Badly Cutting His Hand Auto
Dealers Exonerate Him.
Barney Oldfield, the champion auto
racer of the world, who is sold to have
attempted suicide at bis apartments
In the Portland Hotel, early yesterday
morning, denies that he contemplated
any such action. His version of the
affair is that while Intoxicated he
stumbled over a chair and fell through
a window, lacerating his hand. He
was in a more cheefrul mood yester
day and to some friends expressed con
fidence In his ability to disprove the
charge of fraud now pending against
him in the Municipal Court.
He attributes his accident of yester
day morning to over-indulgence in
liquor. Heretofore he has refrained
from using liquor to any extent. Worry
over the pending charges caused him
to imbibe freely Friday night.
At a meeting attended by many of
the most prominent local automobile
dealers and held late Friday night. It
was voted to place the dealers on rec
ord as exonerating Oldfield from all
blame for the failure of the race meet
at Irvlngton track on July 3.
Several prominent dealers seen yes
terday expressed regret for the unen
viable notoriety given the famous racer
by the charges of fraud, and were
unanimous In expressing the belief that
the affair has killed automobile racing
in this city.
Those present at the meeting and
singing the declaration were: Harry
L. Keats. J. B. Kelly, A. E. Heath, How
ard M. Covey, W. D. Wallace, Floyd J.

VICTIM LIST IS GROWING
Fourth of July Dead Now Number
Fifty-nine.
CHICAGO, July 6. With the grim re
turns still coming In, the number of
Fourth of July casualties for 1907 already,
at t o'clock this morning, had eclipsed all
records made by the Tribune In the last
nine years.
The total number of dead at this hour
was 69. This figure was considerably
more than a year ago at the same hour,
and was only equalled twice before in
the nine years in 1900 and 1905.
The total number of Injured at midnight
stood at S807. This total eclipses all rec
ords in the nine years, the highest num
ber heretofore reported at 3 A. M-, of July
6, being 3683, In 1903.
As usual, fireworks claimed the largest
number of victims, 1724. The victims of
cannon, gunpowder, firearms and toy pis
tols are in relative proportion.
The death roll promises to mount high
er as the days go by. Already tetanus
is beginning its deadly work, the death
of one victim from lockjaw being report
ed. New York, which on Thursday headed
the death roster, added another victim
to its total yesterday, bringing the num
ber up to 11. But even with the Increase,
Pittsburg passed the big metropolis in
the grim roll, reaching 12 deaths up to 3
o'clock this morning.
Will Look for Martians.
NEW YORK, July 6. Mars is nearer
to earth than it has been In many years
only a trifle of 38,000,000 miles. In fact
and astronomers the world over tonight
will have trained on the planet all the
improved telescopic, stereoptic and photo
graphic apparatus known to-science.
It may be that July 8, 1907, will give to
earth's people their first formal intro
duction to the Martians, those creatures
of romance and imagination. It may be
that we shall get positive photographic
evidence of engineering work that will
make child's play of the Pennsylvania
and Belmont tubes and other undertakings
that to us are gigantic
Special preparations have been made
at all the American observatories for the
work of tonight, and whether or not the
great mysteries of Mars are illuminated,
it Is believed much valuable data will be
gathered.
World's Biggest Playground.
NEW YORK, July . Jersey City is to
have the largest playground In the world.
It will be half as large again as the fa
mous parade ground adjoining Prospect
Park, Brooklyn, which has twenty base
ball diamonds, eleven cricked fields and
scores of tennis courts ajid lawns for
various other games. The site of the new
playground Is about 69 acres In extent
and as level as a floor. Along the Hack
ensack River's edge will be an immense
swimming pool, recreation piers, and a
broad esplanade. Baseball fields, golf
links, tennis courts, and cricket grounds
will be laid out on the main ground and
there will be a gTeat central field house,
where all players may make ready for
the games. In the Winter there will be
an immense skating rink free to all.

'T HIT, YET
Apostles Take Another From
the Trunkmakers.
ST. JOHNS PLAYS IN LUCK
Tri-City League Teams in Interesting
Contest on Portland Grounds.
Trunks Have Eleven Men
Left on the Bases.
Those Apostles took another from the
Trunkmakers yesterday afternoon on
thol League Grounds and after the
slaughter was over the score board out
In Venter field was decorated with a
eevSi spot for" the Apostles and four
acesVor the Trunks. Really, it didn't
belief? to Moore's bunch. Gardner,
PartlSs new phenom. was out on the
mourid nd allowed the Apostles only
eix safaenes. Ripfcey. who was on the
firing liiWfor St. Johns, was touched
for nine bingles, one a two-bagger and
another of the three-sack variety.
Bunched hits and a few errors at the
wrong time were the -causes of the
Trunks' defeat. In one fatal inning
four of the Apostles ambled over the
pan, fixing, things for Partlow's fcrew.
The fun started in the third. ' With
one doTn, Jameson leaned against the
sphere, find when the dust blew off, he
was resting on the keystone sackT
Then Van Nortwick came up, and laid
a slow one down to Ripley. The big
boy gathered it in but threw wild, and
Jameson had plenty of time to wander
across the plffcte. Day lined out a sin
gle, and Van went down to second, and
Robldeaux, the next man up. drew an
other safe one. That filled the circuit,
and the faithful held their breath. But
Shockley was raorgued at first and the
fun was ended.
The real amusement came in the last
of the third. Fred Gains, first up, hit
safely and stole second. Ripley took
the ozone, and went back to the bench.
Trowbridge located Mr. Gardner, and
the outfielder scored. Otto Moore
dumped one down to Locke, and while
that gent was trying to catch Trow
bridge, Moore reached first. Umpire
Cheyenne called both safe. Clarke
Moore whiffed, but Hinkle hit a safe
one, and both Moore and Trowbridge
scored. Ray went on to second, and
later scored on a hit by Charlie Moore.
That made It' 4 to 1. .
The Trunks got busy again in the
elxth. Robldeaux hit and Shockley
beat out a bunt. Both men were safe,
and Price laid a pretty one down to
Trowbridge. The shortstop tried to
catch Shockley at second, but failed.
The bases were full, and things began
to look bad for the Apostles. A pretty
little squeeze, and Robldeaux regis
tered, and another, and Shockley wan
dered across Otto Moore's doorstep.
The Vallsemakers got another over
in the seventh. Robldeaux drew a
pass, went to second on a fielder's
choice, and scored on a hit by Price.
In the last of the seventh three of the
Apostles got around the circuit. Gains
hit, and purloined second. Ripley drew
a free. one. Trowbridge hit one out to
Van Nortwick, but the tall outfielder
didn't gather It in on the bound and
both men scored. This afternoon, at
2:80, the Cubs and Kelso will meet at
the League grounds. The score yes

GUARDSMEN ON BIG GUNS
California Regiments Work With
Regulars at Camp.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. Two regi
ments of National Guardsmen who are
participating In the army maneuvers at
the Presidio, in conjunction with the reg
ulars, last night, slept at the big guns
In the forts which line the bay shores.
For 15 days the state militia will be
drilled with the regulars in the handling
of the big guns. A part of the maneu
vers will be the repelling of an imagin
ary night attack from the sea by a hos
tile fleet composed of launches and small
boats. The maneuvers are In charge of
Colonel Lundeen.
In addition to the troops stationed at
the guns, an Infantry support was estab
lished yesterday under the command of
Colonel Cooke. The maneuvers proper
will not begin until Monday. Before the
expiration of two weeks, it is believed
that the militia companies will not only
have familiarized themselves with the
fortifications, but will have learned how
to operate the heavy coast defense
guns. According to the regulations, the
officers of both the militia and the reg
ulars must live in the camps during the
maneuvers, although the homes of the
latter are less than half a mlle'away.
The officers of the regular' army did
not conceal their disappointment at the
Inadequate equipment of the National
Guard.
Children Killed by Vehicles.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. Lives of two
little children yesterday were ground out
under the wheels of a car and wagon
Charles Bradford, an orphan of six years,
while on an errand, was run over by a
car near the Chutes and dragged for SO
feet. The child's skull was fractured,
his back was broken and he was horribly
mangled. He died a few minutes after
being taken from under the car. John
Paull. a 4-year-old refugee in the camp
on Persian avenue, fell under the wheel
of a heavy truck, on which he was riding
unperceived by the driver, and was In
stantly killed.

OLD GAR WINS RACE
Pioneer Selden -Machine Still
in Good Running Order.
WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1877
Makes Show of Speed When Tried
Out In Connection With Suit
Over Selden Patent.
Trial Is Secret.
There was a race meet on the old
Gnttenburg, N. J., track the other day
In which the first gasoline car ever
constructed or alleged to be the llrst
was the winner. It was like old
times at "The Gut." The star .per
former was the Selden "gas buggy"
bulit in 1877, and among the "rooters"
were George B. Selden. hailed as the
pioneer in road locomotion by hydro
carbon engine, and Charles E. Duryea,
another pioneer in automobile con
struction. It was a very select audience that
witnessed the Selden flyer put through
its paces principally lawyers and
technical experts. Of the latter, be
sides Mr. Duryea, were Professor Car
penter, E. M. Bentley and Professor
James E. Denton, of Stevens Institute.
The legal lights included S. K. Betts
and W. A. Redding, in the Selden
colors, and R. A. Parker, who wore an
anti-Selden badge.
The beting was lively. Messrs Red
ding, Betts, Bentley and Denton picked
the "'77 gas buggy" against the field,
while Messrs. Parker, Duryea and Car
penter took the long end of it. Nobody
else was allowed within the enclosure
but drivers, trainers and bottle
holders. The press was rigorously ex
cluded, while only a single offlcial
photographer was countenanced, and
that simply that a record might be
kept of the performance. The other
cars present were a Lozier, Columbia
and six-cylinder Ford.
The race was the most -exciting on
record but the excitement is yet to
come. Seriously, it was momentous.
It was conducted with such- secrecy,
however, that probably the worfe the
motor world would not have known

anything about it for a while, at
least had riot the New York Herald's
airship hovered near enough to permit
of both photography and notes of the
proceedings.
. To go into details, the race had been
ordered by the court, and is the first
instance on record of the court foster
ing automobile speed. Mr. Parker,
counsel for Henry Ford in the' famous
Selden suit, had argued that the "gas
buggy" patented by Mr. Selden in 1877
Would not go, never had gone and was
never intended to go that is, under
its own power. Messrs. Betts and
Redding argued otherwise. Mr. Dur
yea as an expert said the thing called
a "gas buggy" belonged to a lower
stratum of society than even a "skate"
or a "selling plater." Herman Kountz,
a noted Selden expert, alleged that the
"buggy" would be fast enough for the
Vanderbllt cup race of 1907.
So what was there for the court to
do but order a race against time? The
Nassau circuit in Long Island was first
suggested, but fear of the vigilance of
the bicycle police in locating speeders
changed that plan. So to "the Gut"
went the whole of the sporting frater
nity, where they engaged in their "out
law" meet in blissful ignorance of all
the "AV that try to be fathers and
mothers to the automobile sport.
Now, this is what happened at "The
Gut." Instead of one "'77 gas buggy"
there were two "'77 buggies" the day
wasn't so very hot either. Let it go
at that there were two. The slightly
larger of the two a secretly con
structed duplicate of the original was
the first to be tested, and the manner
in which it proved its practicability
showed that Selden knew what he was
about, even thought 15 years ahead
of his time.
The car was run out of the barn,
where it was carefully guarded, on low
gear, across the paddock and up an
8H per cent grade to the track. At
the Quarter-mile post it was stopped
for Inspection, and the attorney for
the defense requested that Mr. Duryea
be allowed to ride with H. C. Hugo
Gibson, M. E., who wa driving.
The request being granted, the car
was started, and Mr. Duryea went for
an automobile ride. Twice around the
mile oval the ancestor of all motor
racers flew at a rate that exceeded
eight miles an hour; then back to the
quarter-mile post, where it was turned
around under its own power and run
through the paddock into Its place of
safe-keeping. Mr. Duryea's thrilling
ride recalled to his mind some early
experiences.
After the successful trial of the larg
er car the "gas buggy" was given a
spin and again the handicraft of the
pioneer Inventor was shown. After
nearly 30 years of inactivity to.be res
urrected and compelled to work Its
three cylinders is a performance that
might bother some modern cars. The
"77" was run around the paddock,
turned around under its own power

and operated back and forth seven or
eight times at a epeed that could be

And the Selden crowd came home
with the money.
