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

Party End of Conference.
The Columbia Conference of the
Methodist Church South. In session in
the Orand-avenne L'nited Presbyterian
Church, yesterday morning adopted
sweeping resolutions regarding sao
bath obsen.-ance, submitted by J. H.
Iyelper. field secretary of the Northwest
Fabhath Observance Association of
Oregon. These demand passage by tho
Oregon Leglsiature at the coming ses
sion a law forbidding games, commer
cial business of all sorts, excursions,
races, theaters and all places of public
amusements from b-tnar kept open and
run on Sundays. Il was said in the
remarks that 0fon had no Sunday
laws, since the decision of Judge Gan
tenbeln had swept them aside- as un
constitutional, but It was desired to
frame Sunday laws that would be con
stitutional. 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.
In the forenoon reports were re

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. .

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.

LEAVES NIGHT OF MURDER
Cashes Worthless Checks and Disap
pears Tracks Near Boat Fur- '

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."

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.
