"StrXDAT OHEGOXIA2T, PORTLAND, AUGUST 30, 1903. FUNDS AT LOW EBB GLOSS . FORFEITS CONFESSED Ml'RDEREH E. E. PERDI E. OF RAG !E TO LAI N G Refuses to Accept Terms of Astoria Regatta Com- mittee. QUEEN RECEIVES CROSS Is Presented by Scandinavian Sing ing Societies First or Series of Sangerfests Proves Great Success. ASTORIA Or.. Aug. 29.-Th!s was by far the most pleasant day of the regatta so far as weather conditions were concerned, Ithoug-h there were a few fitful showers this mornlnf. The attendance at the grandstand, while not as large as on yes terday, was good and the racing events were "interesting and ecltlng. The principal race of the day was tne first one on the programme. It was the double scull contest between E. O. Gloss and I. J. Walte. of the Portland Rowing Club, and C. G. Lalng and Norman Saw yers of Vancouver. The race was 14 miles, straight away, finishing at the grandstand, and was won by the - an cot:ver boys. The crews got away evenly, the Fort landers having the Inside course. The Vancouver crew pulled much the prettier stroke and soon drew ahead, gradually In creased the lead until at the half it was fully thres lenpths to the good. Gloss and Walte made a spurt when near the finish, making -up a portion of their lost ground, but at no time after the first 200 yards were the Vancouver boys in any real danger, and they crossed the line about four lengths in the lead. In Justice to the Portland boys, it must be said that Lalng and Sawyers have been rowing to gether for over a year, while Gloss and Walte had been practicing in double sculls only a few weeks. Championship Goes to Lalng. The single scull championship race, be tween Gloss and Lalng. in which there was a dead heat yesterday, was not rowed over today on account of Gloss re fusing to accept the committee's terms and the Judges this afternoon awarded the race to Idling. In the single canoe race, the entries were Ball. Allen and Moore. Allen won. with Ball second and Moore third. The latter capsized Just after crossing the finish line. T'.ie double pleasure-boat race between Gloss, of Portland, and Sawyers, of Van couver, was a very pretty contest. It was Vi miles with a turn, and was won by Gloss. Another accident was nar rowly averted In this race as Just at the finish a motorboat shot out from the wharf and had not Gloss swung out of line, a collision would have resulted. The double canoe race was the next event. The entries were Dent and An derson against Allen arid Moore, the former being the winners. Crews From Tender Meet. The cutter race between crews from the tender Columbine, captained by E. W'est erberg and H. Anderson. over a IVi mile course for prizes of J2 and tlO. was a hard-fought contest and was won by the Westerberg crew. An event that attracted considerable attention was a race for prizes of $20 and J10 between two crews of enlisted men from Fort Stevens. The soldiers, while not expert oarsmen, made an ex ceyent race and No. 1 crew captured the first prize. The balance of the morning pro gramme consisted of exhibitions by the Point Adams life-saving crew, duck hunting contests, tub racing, and other amusing features. Presentation to Queen. The members of the Scandinavian singing societies of Portland arrived here this evening and lmmdieately marched to the City Hall, where with appropriate ceremonies they presented Queen Hattie with a golden cross of honor, a facsimile of the emblem which the ancient Viking monarchs gave to their war chieftains upon their return from winning any decisive vic tory. The regatta events closed this eve ning with the street fair and the Mardl Gras parade that provided a fund of amusement for the thousands of spec tators who lined the streets. The first of the series of Scandina vian sangerfests was given this eve ning and proved an unqualified suc cess. It was under the direction of Dr. Emil Enna and "was participated in by the Scandinavian singing societies of Portland and Astoria, the principal so loists being Miss Mary Conyers, Miss Bessie Mickey. Miss Rogers. Dr. Enna and Musgrove Robarts. FRUIT PRICES WILL BE HIGH Growers Expect Quotations to Soon Advance in East. MED FORD, Or Aug. 29. (Special.)

Her ul vorce was granted. Bowers returned to Oregon City about three weeks ago. Last night Bowers, while in an Intoxicated condition, went to the Rauch home and asked the woman he had abused to live with him again.

A 11500 Orchestrelle. a duplicate of the Instrument recently bought by the Em ptror for his private yacht, the Hohen zollern, la also shown by this enterpris ing house. As Is well known, the Em peror of Germany Is not the only royal personage who has purchased a Pianola or pianola piano. Every member of the English royal family has bought one of these wonderful instruments. Other patrons include the Czar of Russia, the King of Spain, the King of Portugal, the Pope, Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the Sultan of Turkey, the Khedive of Egypt, the Shah of Persia, the King of Siam, etc. In America, there is not a family or person of renown in any walk of life who is not the possessor of either a Pianola or a Pianola piano, or an Or chestrelle, or both. Nearly 1700 of these wonderfully popular and genuine Pianola Instruments have been sold by Ellers Piano House In Portland and vicinity.

MUST PRACTICE ECONOMY Appropriations for Asylums and State College ProTe Insufficient for Requirements Printing Fund Almost Exhausted. OLYMTIA, Wash., Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) Heavy deficiencies are fore casted in the appropriations for the maintenance of some of the sfates principal institutions by a checking up In the State Auditor's office of the balances left of the amounts the Leg islature authorized them to expend. These probable deficiencies will be In the accounts of the Western Wash ington Hospital for the Insane, the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane, the State College at Pullman, and the Belllngham Normal School. In addition to these shortages the state printing fund Is almost exhausted and It Is claimed that there will be not one dollar for the printing of the de partmental biennlaL reports required by law. Asylums Face Deficiencies. The Western Washington Hospital for the Insane, at this date, has a "bal ance left In the apropriatlon for main tenance of $336,912.50. amounting to $89,808.02. This balance should pay the running expenses- of the institu tion for seven more months. During the corresponding seven months one year ago this Institution expended $117 000. thus Indicating that there will be more than $27,000 lacking to com plete the fiscal period. The Eastern Washington - Hospital for' the Insane has a balance of $41,240.30 to carry It for seven months. In the corresponding period of last year the maintenance of this institu tion cost the state $70,000. and a defi ciency of more than $28,000 Is there fore indicated. The appropriation amounted to $188,887.50. With a school year about to begin the State College at Pullman has but $13,365.61 left to Its credit on the state's books out of an appropriation of $217,254. The State College receives money from the Government, but to have enough to pull through the Gov ernment must be relied on for nearly $60,C00. In the corresponding period of last year the institution paid out of the general fund of the state for maintenance $72,840. . Mu9t Limit Expenditures. The Belling-ham Normal School is not seriously in arrears, having $26,000 with which to face estimated expendi tures of $29,000. The penitentiary has a balance of $71,654.18 to its credit, and if It ex pends no more this year than last about $66,000 will run it to the end of the fiscal period. The State University still has a call on the State Treasury for $137,988.51. and faces expenditures estimated at about $124,000. The Reform School has nearly $27,000 left of Its appropriation and will expend probably $23,000. , Only S371S In Printing Fund. All state Institutions will have to bear an unexpected burden, however, from this date on. In the payment of their printing bills. Printing for the Institutions, heretofore, has been paid out of the $65,000 printing appropria tion provided by the' Legislature. The printing fund at this date has but $3716.96 left in it with a large amount of work still unbilled, and election printing in stsht, which must be pro vided for. that will cest about $1000. The trouble seems to have been that the last Legislature created many more uses for printing In different depart ments, but made no adequate provision for the payment for the work.

Crowd Gathers Around Stand and Protests, bnt Judges Decline - to Alter Decision. MARS H FI ELD, Or., Aug. 29. (Special.) About 2000 people this afternoon wit nessed the most exciting race ever seen In Southern Oregon, when King Kohr, owned by W. W. Cardwell. of Roseburg, won the Coos County Derby, the big race of the Southern Oregon District Fair. There were five entries In the race. Hume's mare, Elida, apparently was win ner until the horses were about 20 feet the Judges held to their decision and finally the programme was resumed. This was the last day of the fair and the banner day in point of attendance. Finan cially the fair was a success, and during the past week Marshfleld has never before from the post, when .King Kohr, with Heavenor up, made one of his phenom enal efforts for which he is famous, and shot under the wire half a head in the lead. When the Judges hung out their decision, giving King Kohr first money, many ot the people in the grandstand protested. A big crowd gathered around the Judges' stand and much excitement prevailed, but entertained so many out-of-town visitors. In the livestock exhibits the horses were the, best represented in the dlffrent classes, and the dairy exhibits were espe cinlly ood. Marshfleld will make a bid for the fair again next year.

WOMAN IS FOUND DYING Suffering From Poisoning, and Mystery Surrounds Case. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 29. Mystery surrounds the case of Mrs. Helen McTav lsh, recently from Victoria who is a pa tient In the general hospital, hovering between life and death from chloroform, said to be self-admlnlstered. At No. 661 Granville street, where for the past two weeks she has had a suite of rooms, an empty botle labeled chloroform and an empty glass and a broken egg shell were all that was found. Shortly after 9 o'clock ' last night a stranger asked the proprietor to be di rected to Mrs. McTavish's room. He said "I am her brother," and brushed past the proprietor in the direction of the room. What happened after that is not known, but at 1 o'clock this morning there was a hurry call for the ambulance. It Is Inferred that she herself must have telephoned for the ambulance, for there was no one then In the office of the rooming-house., and the proprietor knew nothing of the call. It Is stated by the proprietor that Mrs. McTavish and her. husband had occupied the room, coming here from Victoria. He Is said to be a traveler, and at present Is not in the city.
