TAKE ISSUE WITH WILEY
CALIFORNIA FRUITMEN SAY
SALT CANNOT BE USED.
Poison Expert Recommends Saline
y Solution Instead of Sulphur for
t
Preserving Fruit.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. (Special.)
Professor E. J. Wickson, head of the
Department of Agriculture at the State
University, has taken direct issue with
W. H. Wiley, chief of the chemistry
bureau of the Federal Department of
Agriculture, as to the use of chemicals
in drying fruit.
A burning issue with the California'
fruitmon is the use of sulphur for
curing fruit. Dr. Wiley has con
strued the pure food law as forbid
ding the use of sulphur, and the fi .
interests of the state have vigorously
fought his ruling. As a compromise,
sulphur is to be allowed until a sub
stitute is discovered. Dr. Wiley made
the announcement to the California del
egation at Washington ye'sterday that
he had found by experiments that a
salt solution could be used with as
satisfactory results as could sulphur.
In a letter addressed to President
Wheeler, of the University, Wickson
today completely discredits Wriley's
"discovery," announcing that salt had
been tried in this state 15 years ago
and found unsuitable for the purpose.
The matter is ono that vitally con
corns the entire fruit industry of the
Pacific Coast, an industry worth more
than J20.000.00y. a year. In his letter,
Wickson says' in part:
sMy Dear President W7heeler: This
morning's papers have telegrams stating
that Dr. Wiley advocated before a Con
gressional committee dipping fruit in a
salt solution instead of sulphuring, and
showed dried apples, not as light colored,
but light enough, and he proposed .o
have salt used instead of sulphur. On
this point I desire to state:
That the recourse 'to salt solution was
suggested and experimented with in Cali
fornia about 15 years ago and pronounced
unsatisfactory for several reasons.
While salt, does prevent oxidation and dis
coloration to a certain extent, it does not
produce the light shades the trade demands,
while it may be strongly claimed that in
the case of dried apples & light brown may
be better than a pallid white, producers
cannot afford to undertake to reform pur
chasers' tastes. Producers must please pur
chasers In esthetic points or abandon their
production
Though for apples, and possibly for pears,
where both are cut in rings or small sec
tions, the salt dip may be found practicable
from a producing point of view, the salt
dip will not do at all for peaches, nectar
ines, apricots or for apples and pears cut
in halves, because the dip in salt -water re
tards subsequent evaporation Instead of ad
vancing it as the sulphur treatment does.
THAW WITNESSES ARRIVE
Two Doctors and Two Nurses to Tes
' tify for Defense.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25. Four witnesses
who are expected to testify for the de
fense In the trial of Harry K. Thaw for
the killing of Stanford White arrived
here today on the steamer Adriatic from
Europe. The big steamship had consid
erable difficulty in getting past Sandy
Hook because of the heavy seas, and it
was on account of this and the storm of
snow that the witnesses did not land
yesterday. The delay in their arrival
caused an adjournment of the court early
yesterday until Monday.
The party was composed of Dr. Albert
Adams, of Paris: Dr. Russel Wells, of
lndon: W. H. Jarrett, of London, and
John Wahrmann. The two last named
are hospital attendants' or nurses. They
were met at quarantine by a representa
tive of Thaw's counsel, and on reaching
the city went to the office of Martin W.
IJttleton. counsel for Thaw. They are
alleged to have attended Thaw in Eu

KELLY WILL TRY
TO BEAT
i
Ready to Enter the Pastime
Games in Madison Square
Garden, New York.
WILL NOT TRAIN FOR IT
In Interview Sprinter Says Most Ath
letes. Are Over-Trained Has
Hopes of Being Chosen to Com.
, pete in Olympic Games.
NEW YORK. Jan. 23. (Special.)
Dan Kelly walked out of his father's
blacksmith shop seven years ago, de
termined to do something. Five years
later he had done something that no
other man ever hoped for. He had es
tablished a new world's record ,pf run
ning, 100 yards in 9 3-5 seconds. He is
in New York today with the hope of
repeating hia performance, so that the
committee in charge of the athletics
for the Olympic games in London may
choose him to compete against, the
best athletes in the world.
Dan Kelly is 24 years of age; he is
not lithe of limb, neither is he built on
wiry lines. Kelly stands 5 feet lOH
inches in his stocking feet, and weighs
150 pounds. He is of rather stocky
build and his legs look too round and
fat for a runner. When he dashed
around the floor of the Twenty-second
Regiment Armory today, however, his
legs worked like piston rods and ne
appeared to leave the floor again be
fore his foot had fairly touched.
"I am in poor shape," he panted, as
be came iir to talk about himself
something he -dislikes to do "but I
expect to start in the Pastime games
on Monday night in Madison Square
Garden without any more training."
"To tell the truth," continued the run
ner, "I don't believe in too much train
ing, anyway. I believe that 50 per cent
of the runners who start in sprints are
over-trained."
Kelly said that his stride was about
seven feet six inches. "I have often
heard of these sprinters who have a
stride of eight and' ten feet," he said,
"but I have never seen one of them. I
have run . a stride of eight feet, but I
will not average that much."
His stride was then measured and It
showed seven feet and eight inches.
"I honestly believe that it runs in my
blood to be a sprinter," said Kelly, "for
my father was a great runner. in tne
old days he was on an athletic team
that beat everything on the Coast. He
is a blacksmith in Baker City. Or., and
he is still an enthusiast over the sport."
U
HILDRETH 4 -YEAR-OLD NEVER
PASSED IN RACE.
Clamor Only One to 'Challenge Him
and Finishes Second Winner
a Strong Favorite.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. In a
veritable sea of mud, Sam Hildredtn s
crack 4-vear-oid horse, Montgomery,
by Pessara-Montgomery Copper, the
favorite, splashed home an easy win
ner in the rich Burns handicap today.
five lengths in advance of the fast-
coming Clamor, of tne Kecne siaoie,
second choice in the betting, the latter
clattering in three lengths ahead of
R. F. Carman's Rifleman, the third
choice. The rest of the classy field was
strung out for an eighth of a miie.
The winner was ridden by E. Dugan,
the place horse by w. Miller and tne
third horse by G. Burns. The time
was 2:10 4-5.
The race was witnessed by over ID,
003 persons and the 40 bookmakers
were fairly deluged with wagers on the
handicap. Montgomery always ruled
favorite, the odds varying from 11 to
5, to 2 to 1. He was backed by both
stable connections and by the public
for thousands of dollars. Clamor and
Gromoboi. coupled as the Keene entry,
were backed from 6 to 1 to three, while
Rifleman was liberally supported at 6
to 1. The odds on -the 10 other starters
ranged from 10 to lto 40 to 1.
The weather was cloudy, but the sun
broke through a rift in the clouds be
fore the horses went to the post In the
big stake.
Holtman caught them in alignment
after a short delay and. when the bar
rier was sprung, Hildredth's colors
were the first in motion. Dugan shot
Montgomery to the front and made
every post a winning one. The son of
Pessara fairly revelled in the going
and carried his impost of 12$ pounds
as if it were a feather. Clamor, with
an even break, would nave been a keen
contender. The Keene candidate was
shut off almost as the horses left the
barrier, dropping back to eleventh po
sJtion in a badly strung-out field.
Clamor trailed his field until the
three-quarters pole had been passed
when Miller began to pick up the lead
ers. In an incredibly short time the
game colt had shot into second place
and challenged Montgomery in the
stretch. The effort, however, was too
much for him and the Hildredtn entry
had but to gallop under the wire, win-
nine from a ticld, which for class,
eclipsed by far any previous Burns
Handicap. Rifleman had no excuses.
He was judiciously ridden by G. Burns,
but was unable ao do better than third.

NEW RVLES FOR FOOTBALL
Intercollegiate Committee Changes
Conditions of Forward Pass.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23. Important con
ditions in the rule governing the for
ward pass play, which prove of advan
tage to weaker, teams, and other foot
ball legislation were made by the Inter
collegiate football rules committee, which
concluded its session here tonight.
The new rule on the play of the for
ward pass covers the Illegal touching of
the ball. When illegally touched, the
side making the illegal play loses the
ball to its opponents on the spot from
which the pass was made. According to
the new rule, only the man of the pass
er's side who first legally touched the
ball may hereafter take it until it is
touched by an opponent. -
The -committee considered the question
of defensive tactics in connection with
the forward pass, and it was decided
that," while the forward pass is' in the
air, the players of the defensive side
may not use their hands or arms on
their opponents except to push them out
of the way to get at the ball. In order
to eliminate holdingvand tackling, it is
provided that the players of the side
making the forward pass, who are ell
gible to receive the pass, may use their
hands and arms just the same way that
players go down under the kick.
A new rule was passed making the in
termission between the halves of the
game 15 minutes. A delay of two min
utes beyond that time gives the ball to
the field, which may then nlace the
ball on the 30-yard line of the offending
eleven. Anotner rule adopted provides
that all forfeited games hereafter are to
score as one to nothing.
The committee passed a rule that all
penalties, except in the case of a man
disqualified, may be declined by the of
fending side. In the future the field
judge will act as timer instead of the
u iicraiu a it.

the match go to the Chicago man.
Slosson was in excellent form tonight,
making high runs of 88, S3 and 80, with an
average of 22 16-22. Sutton seemed to be

ship form. In these . two innings he
gathered GO and 70 respectively, hifl
average being 11 9-22.

SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 25. (Special.)
For 60 days just prior to a week ago, the
Alaska town of Katalla was without
fresh meats or vegetables, and men were
daily sent into the country to hunt porcu
pines." Porcupine meat was the only sup
ply that could be obtained until the
steamship Portland put Into Katalla
roadstead on her way south from Valdei
and managed to land a supply of fresh
meats that she had been carrying for 30
days. A part or tne .Portland s cargo of
fresh meats had to be landed and sold at
Juneau on the way north, because it was
no longer feasible to carry it aboard the

The largest crowd that has attended
an association football match in Port
land for three years gathered at the base
ball grounds yesterday afternoon to see
the last contest this season between the
Columbias and the Hornets. Unusual in
terest attached to the game because it
was to determine whether the Columbias
who had won the city championship two
weeks before, should finish the league
Teason with an unbroken string of vic
tories or not. The Hornets, m whose
ranks are numerous stars, past and pres
ent wer? picked for this task but found
the1 Columbias too heavy and determined
The score was: Columbias 4, Hornets 0.
The garni opened with the Columb as
on the aggressive for the first few min
utes Mills, their captain and center for
ward, soon got in behind both backs and
scored with a pretty cross-shot. A few
minutes later, Stevenson, with the pret
tiest header seen here in many a day
made It 2 to 0. Up to this time Play had
been fast and quite clever. The pair of
goals seemed to upset both elevens for
the rest of the half saw a lot of slow
work and-- infinite kicking Into touch.
Shortly before half time, however, Mills
banged through another.
Meanwhile the Hornet forwards had
made half a dozen likely-looking rushes,
some of which wild .shooting spoiled,
while Goalkeeper Pattullo and Dy. Short,
Wt fullback, headed off others. The Co
lumbias were in ndv imminent peril the
Ipiavlivened in the second. Simonds
and Hughes began to take the measure
of the Columbia forward line, and Dick
son, Matthew, Douglas. Dean and
Mackenzie got away a dozed times and
nut In about that many shots. Hard luck
robbed them of a pair of goals, which
missed the inside of the stakes by a
couple inches, while Pattullo took care of
a?l the rest in a cool tyle that should
have brought the cheers. His 230 pounds
enabled him to shake ehargtag forwards
off like flies and to kick the ball out at
his leisure. Ten minutes before time.
Mills got his third goaf, ending the scor-
lnhe winners played quite uniformly.
Stevenson, of Albina. and Mills were yes
terday's pic of the forward line, though
Dick and Burns were nearly always
there. The half line was fast and care
ful, and Dr. Short at back was hard to
t0Slmonds. the Hornets new left full
back will be a fine player when he
rounds into form. Hughes his Partner

Fogler Makes Finish Close and Rec
ord Is Broken Score of
. the Leaders.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 25. With all th.
energy he could command and exerting
every muscle to defeat his opponent, who
appeared equally confident of victory,
Iver Lawson, of the Yankee team. In a
remarkable burst of speed, tonight won
the six-day bicycle race from Joe rogler
by so short a distance that it was almost
impossible to pick the winner.
The world's record for 48 hours, held by
Elkes and McFarland, maae In 1900 In
Madison Square Garden, was broken.
With but a few minutes until the end of
the race left, all the teams but the two
leaders were withdrawn and Iver Lawson
and Joe Fogler went in for a real racing
duel. Around the track they went and
at the end of the mile were absolutely
so close together that it was almort im
possible to decide which one had won.
The referee finally decided in favor of
Lawson.
The official finish was:
1 Lawson-Moran .....984 miles, 8 laps
2 Fogler-Root 9o4 miles, 8 laps
3 Sherwood-Wiley f 984 miles, 8 laps
4 Bardgett-Mitten A.. 984 miles, 8 laps
