Herbert Lytic, at the wheel of a &0-horsepower Italian Isotta car, finished second, one minute and 48 1-5 seconds behind the winner. Owing tar the overflowing of the crowd upon the road, the rare was railed off without any of the others being permitted offi cially to complete the contest. Record Broken on the Track. The race, which was the most hotly con tested in the unals of the sport In this country, brought together at day break J 7 cars, of which 11 were Ameri cans, three German, two French and one Ttalisn. Although the time of the winner, four hours. 4S 1-5 seconds, es tablished a new record and the average speed was at the rate of 64.3 miles an hour, tho mere Usurp give but a faint ldii of the magnitude of the prform anre. NYt only was the course wet and slipprrv. but another and greater element of danger was its obstruction by the crowds, whi'-h early became un ruanagoH ble.

A'ter the first two cars had shot by the finishing Mnr. the throng broke all bopds .and. slumping the roadway in front of the grandstand, formed an im-pnetrahl- wall f humanity.

Incidental to the discussion of the Sunday laws. Bishop Atkins made the sweeping declaration that no civic re form was ever obtained by making It a party Issue, and that "the minute a reform measure was hooked up with politics It was at once destroyed." Bishop Atklna applied this position to the prohibition cause, and declared that la Oregon there would never be prohi bition through politics, and cited the experience ir. North Carolina to con firm his position. He said that when made a separate party Issue in North Carolina, it was defeated by 115.000 majority, but wheT taken out of poli tics and made an Issue for both parties It carried by over 50.000 majority. He advised temperance advocatea in Ore gon to keep the movement out of poli tics, but aecure the joint support of the two grerft parties.

NEW SCHEME FOR' MUSIC FESTIVAL Subscription Tickets and Re served Seats Will Put Af fair on Paying Basis. ROSENBECKER TO CONDUCT Artistic Baton Wiclder of La-t Year Will Direct Chicago Orchestra. Part of Programme Is Al ready Provided For BT JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. Portland's annual music festival will be held in this city about the end of March 1909. It will be arranged on not only popular but educational lines, so that the series of five concerts will he within the reach of all. The event will foMow more closely the paths so successfully marked by the big musical festival at Worcester. Mass.. and Cincinnati, onio. Arrangements for the coming music fes tival here were completed B-t the Heilig Theater last night, at a conference at tended by Manager Charles Beach, of the Chicago Svmnhony 0chestra. the Heilig Thealer management, and William H. Boyer. the conductor of the Portland chorus. "We shall not only repeat the artistic musical triumph earned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Portland chorus at the last festival in this citv. which took place April 10. H and 12 of the present year, but the music will be more representative and the con certs better In every way." said Manager Beach. "The prices of admission will h so arranged that the concert will be within the reach of all musical students and also of the general public. I propose tilts plan to place the festival on a firm financial basis: "We stigsreyt issuing, say. jnro season tickets st the price of tl each, which will admit the holder to all the five concerts. That will make the price Just 20 vents a concert. The bolder of these Xvv season tickets after they have each paid their $1. can afterwarC. have the seats so taken reserved for th2m at K a seat, and some for Jl a seat, extra for the season. It is a simple plan, if you will stop to think it out. and will quickly solve the financial end of the mattev. After the seats blocked off on that plan are disposed of. no more will be sold except at the regular concert prices." Mr. Beach will bring the Chicago Sym phony Orchestra here with its 67 mem bers, and he says it is better than ever. The conductor will be Adolph Rosen becker, who won such a signal success at the last music, festival. The personnel of the vocal quartet will be somewhat changed, and In addition to it another at traction will be Myrtle Elvyn. the great nianlsie. who will make her second Amer ican tour this season. Last year, this eminent artist did not come further West than, Omaha. Neb., and Kansas City, Mo. The Chicago symphony Mrcnesxra nas already arranged to give concerts at New Orleans. La., through Texas, at the University of California. Stanford University, and other cities of Califor nia. Walla Walla, Wash.. Fugene. Or. and this city. Mr. Beach left last night for Seattle and Tacoma to arrange for concerts the other portions of the tour. Mr. Boyer has decided that the mu sical selections to be rendered at three of the five concerts will be: Sullivan's "Golden Legend." Gaul's "Holy City" and Rossini's "Stabat Mater." The other selections will be afterward an nounced. A meeting of the Portland vocal chnrus for the purpose of formal or ganization will be held shortly, and this time It is hoped to organize a big chorus of BOO voices. Leaders of choirs and other musical organizations who wish singers under their direction to sing at the festival are asked to com municate with Mr. Boyer. . WILLIAM ARMBRUSTER, WIDE LY KNOWN AS BALL FAX. Pneumonia, Contracted on Fishing Trip, Proves Fatal to Authority on National Game. The sudden illness and death of Wil liam Armbruster, who succumbed to an attack of pneumonia at St. Vincent s Hospital yesterday morning, marks the passing of one of the most popular as well as best-posted baseball fans In the United States.

Portland as an authority on past per formance of baseball teams and Indi vidual player In addition to beins an enthusiastic fan. he was an active sportsman and hunter. In fact, it was his fondness for fishlnfr that brought on the malady , to which he succumbed. Iast Sunday, in the company of Arthur Ptroebel. Harry Sanger and Tom Craiff. Mr. Armbruster went on a fishing ex pedition to the Lewis River. At that time he caught cold and Monday his condition was so much worse that he went to the St. Vincent's Hospital for treatment. nemite all that could be done for t.. v- ' gradually . grew worse and early Friday the attending physicians Informed his many anxious friends who called that the patient was beyond the aid of medical science. Cheerful to the last, even though In formed of his condition. Mr. Armbruster smilingly bade goodbye to his friends and calmly accepted the inevitable. Buck Keith, a life-long friend of Mr. Armbruster. waa at the bedside when he died, and in referring to Mr. Arm bruster yeaterdy paid him the follow ing tribute: "Billy Armbruster waa a man.

He waa recognized a an authority on baeeball for any period from 1879 to the pres ent day, ami he could furnish the his tory of any player desired in all that period."

IS S'FE FOR TIFT LETTER TO PORTLAND MAX IS EXPRESSION OF CONFIDENCE. Charles B. Moores Receives Review of Political Situation From Presi dent State Bar Association. Charles B. Moorea. of this city, has received a letter from his cousin, Mer rill Moores, of Indianapolis. Ind.. in which it is confidently declared that Indiana wili cast its electoral vote for Taft. Merrill Moores is president of the Indiana Bar Association, and is actively identified with the manage ment of the Republican state cam paign. He says: "4 started In August 15 with the work of oriBraniztngr the county pre cinct committeemen, conducting re vival meetings with the workers in county a fter county. Between the or ganization meetings I have been haranguing voters in every part of the state. As to the public f, pea king, all 1 can say is that without exception our meetings liave been largely attended and that the people seem to be greatly interested. Nobody leaves a meeting and the people seem enthusiastic. From the organization meetings I can get a pretty good idea of how the condition appears to the precinct com mitteeman, and I have held such meet ings and talked with Individual com mitteemen in every part of the state. As to the National ticket, conditions never were more favorable. In 1904 we carried tho state by a plurality of 93,944 for Roosevelt and 84,364 for Governor, with about 87.000 for the rest of the state ticket. This was far in excess of our expectations, and we only know that about 30.100 Demo crats must have voted with us who had been absolutely silent as to their intentions. In 190" we carried the state by from 30.000 to 32.000. This year the indications are that every Republican In the state will vote for Taft. There Is absolutely no defec tion anywhere. That means at least 40.000 plurality and it may be much more, as we have no more indication from the Democrats than we had in 1904. "Thing.?, however, are very different In tlvj contest for the state offices. The Republicans have declared for and the Democrats a gainst county local option. Both parties have nominated clean and able men for the Governor ship. There is no controversy at all as to the character of the nominees. "Tn the cities throughout the state, the liberal clement in the Republican party is zealously and enthusiastically at work for the Democratic state ticket without in any way abating its support of Taft. In the country a vast number of farmers of Democratic pro clivities are supporting the Republican state ticket. AH over the state out side th. cities the preachers are preaching every Sunday for county local option, and the women are work ing very hard for the Republican state ticket tout, in the cities of the state thing look very blue for all state candidates. At this time it looks as if Taft would have 40,'00 or more and Watson and Marshal! be so close for the Governorship that It will take the official courts to decide, t think all the state Republican candidates ex cept the Governor will be safe, and that Watson's election will depend wholly on the size of Taft's pluralitv. The legislature is in grave doubt and depends on Marion County, which will probably elect a split ticket." MAY HAVE 0WN BUILDING Arlington Club to Vote on Construc tion of Home. Contingent upon a vote of the mem- berehtp. the Arlington Club is to occupy a building ofMts own. A special meeting of the club ie called for October 30 at 8 P. M to vote on the question, and in addition cards have been sent to mem bers on which they may indicate their choice of proposed locations. New quarters have been a matter of consideration by the board of director since August 7 of this year, when a circular was issued to members recom mending that necessary property be pur chased and a suitable building be erected. It was also suggested that the cost of the proposed investmeut be $200,000. in cluding the ground, and that sum be raised by the issuance of 5 per cent first mortgage bonds, maturing In 25 years. A special committee of the board was appointed to solicit subscriptions to this bond issue and under date of October 22 the board notified the membership that $134,000 had been subscribed and $20,000 more would be taken in addition by those who had already subscribed. The board thereupon reports that it feels justified n saying that the whole amount of $200.- 000 can be raised. BOY SHOT WHILE HUNTING Arthur Linden Is Accidentally Wounded in Leg. Arthur Linden, 17 years of age. of Knlama, Wash., was the victim of a serious accident yesterday while hunt ing with several companions of his own age. He is now a patient in the Good Samaritan Hospital, suffering from an ugly wound in. his leg unin tentionallj Inflicted by one of his friends. Linden was brought to tho city last night and removed to the hospital owing to the danger threat ened from blood poisoning. He may los his leg. The wound was caused by a load of bird-shot, fired at close range. Be sides tearing a great hole in the calf of his leg. the charge shattered and carried away a portion of the bmies. The accident occurred near Linden's home. The youth who shot him was a few feet In advance of the others com prising the party. He had taken aim at a bird when he was arrested by some remark from his companions in the rear. He did not fire, but dropped the gun from his shoulder and whirled about to answer when the gun was ac cidentally discharged. SEEK MISSING MAN Police Want Architect in St. John Mystery. LEAVES NIGHT OF MURDER Cashes Worthless Checks and Disap pears Tracks Near Boat Fur- ' nish Clew- Chain of CIrcum- stances Being: Forged. Deputy Sheriffs and the police of St. John are endeavoring to locate a young architect and builder who mysteriously disappeared from .St. John Tuesday night and has not been seen since. The officers are trying to find several men who dis appeared from St. John Tuesday night or Wednesday for it was Tuesday night that Harry T. Butterworth was foully mur dered. Before leaving, the architect is said to have left a number of worthless checks drawn on the Peninsula Bank of St. John, in which he had no funds. The small account which he once kept there, It is said, had been overdrawn mouths ago. He Is said, to have been in financial troubles for several months and there are other reasons why the officers are trying to ascertain his present where abouts. He has resided in the town for a year or more and his friends are un' able to explain his sudden and mysterious disappearance. It has been diKcovered by the officers that an attempt was made to steal a. boat belonging to Ed Ashby on Tuesday night. The boat was tied securely, how ever, and the efforts failed. In the mud and sand near the boat were found many foot-prints which correspond with those found near the scene of the tragedy. The boat was fastened at the foot of the street which leads to the river from the Butterworth residence. The aged mother of Butterworth lias discredited the story to th effect that two ex-convicts had deliberately fol lowed the St. John jeweler for years and finally killed him. A story to that effect was circulated in St. John because But terworth had once told of his experience with two highwaymen In Chicago. "Harry was attacked by two highway men In Chicago," said his mother. "But the men were never sent to the peniten tiary, and. indeed, were never arrested. When they attacked him, Harry put up such a fierce fight that they secured nothing and ran away when they saw a policeman coming." UNO FRAUD CASE DBJGS XIGHT SKSSIOX MAY BE HELD THIS WKEK. McCourt Reads Letters Tending to Connect Officials of Defendant Company With Conspiracy. After United States Attorney McCourt had read a lare amount of correspond ence and Introduced the letter-file copy books of the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Company yesterday, in the conspiracy case now on trial before Judge "Wolver ton, court was adjourned until 10 oclock Monday. Contrary to expectations, the Government did not finish with Its evidence yesterday morning and it may be that night sessions will be held in order to conclude the case this week and get it beff re the Jury. The letters that Attorney McCourt read were those which passed between several residents of Curry County and the de fendants. Dr. J. H. Hedderly. Richard Jones a.nd William II. Smith. The letters were damaging in that they tended to connect the officials of the company with the alleged conspiracy. Most of the let ters from the residents of Port Orford and other Curry County people were written when the company began to fall behind in its payments. When the payments were not forth coming, there was a clamor for money oil the part of those who had been helping the company in obtaining the timber claims. Some of the letters contained threats of exposure in case they did not get their money. The defense expects to put only four witnesses on the stand. Some of the defendants will take the stand in their own behalf. Make appointment for demonstration in Chalmers' "30."
