THE STJXDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 3IAT 1, 1910. 'DEMON' SCRAPPER PROVES QUITTER Taylor Throws Up Sponge at End of Six Rounds With : Label. HELPLESS UNDER -ATTACK I uFrisco Lad Easily Outgenerals Ta- coman Couey Knocked Out by Evans in 40 Seconds -Farrell Too Fat to Fight Hubbard. BI W. J- PETRAIN. Roscoe Taylor, the demon scrapper from Tacoma, did not seem to like the going: in his exhibition with Abe Label, of San Francisco, before the Oregon Athletic Club Friday night, and aftf-r six rounds, during which the Hay City lad iid most of the work, Tacoma'a pride iieaved the signal of distress by re questing his seconds to toss up the sponge. Taylor was not materially damaged, but Label's short-arm jolts amidships seemed to take all the ambition out of ' the lad who entered the ring a prime favorite, but left behind all the laurels he had gained on his previous appearance. Label outgeneraled the -pride of Tacoma all the way, and, had a. decision . been rendered, he would have been declared the winner. As a curtain-raiser. Kid Gillen and Exposito once more went through six rounds of milling. In which both lads showed a decided improvement over the form displayed at their last ap pearance. This bout was followed by five rounds of a scheduled 10-round mixup between Frank Farrell aiiu Lou Hub bard. Karrell entered the ring looking like a small edition of the beef trust, .nd his surplus avoirdupois interfered with his efforts as a boxer to such an extent that his colored opponent had but little difficulty in slamming him about the ring almost at will. At that, Hubbard was close, .to. hanging, put .the 'all in" sign, but not through any ef forts on the part of thf- flabby white loxer. Farrell introduced a style of boxing that would have earned him a vision of Halley's comet without wait ing until early morning, had he been pitted against a cleverer man. The semi-windup between Bobby Ev ans and Mackey Couey was a record breaker from the time-limit point of view. Jt required just long enough for the men to dance once across the ring Jn the opening round, when Couey took the count, as the result of a right-hand cross to the jaw, delivered at short range by Evans. Couey hit the floor with a resounding thud, and though he tried hard to rise, he failed to do so in the 10 seconds of slumber allowed by the Marquis of Queensbery rules. This mix lasted, just 40 seconds. Most of the fight fans who went out between scraps missed this bout entirely, for, to them, the match was over before It started. Then came the wind-up and the big disappointment. Not that the crowd failed to appreciate what there was of the exhibition, , but because they failed to appreciate Taylor's plea of lack of condition and his Quitting. In the first round, t he exhibition looked to be 'nothing to it but Taylor," for the Tacoman "rousted" Label in such a speedy manner that It looked like an other short-route bout. However, La bel rallied and "stalled" through the second round in such a dazzling style that the Tacoma lad seemed helpless to ward off the attacks. After the third round Taylor was In distress, for he does not seem able to stand stomach punches, and the San Francisco lad was quick to take advantage of this defect In Taylor's defense. After the bout, Taylor anno. meed that he had not trained properly, and that he was ready to take on Label at any time or any place. Jr "Mysterious" 3ill- Smith 'and Al Neill, who are matched to box 10 rounds before the J'astlme Club on May v.), were introduced and given a rous ing icception.

Fire which threatened to devastate the entire waterfront in the vicinity of Morrison and East Water streets, followed an explosion of gasoline in the AVeinsteln brothers launch-house moored near the east approach of the Morrison-street bridge, shortly after 7 o'clock Friday night. Five launches and houses were damaged to the ag gregate extent of $5000. The flames broke out in the launch house of "The Matinee Girl," owned by Weinstein brothers, when a gaso line tank was being filled. The blaze spread with such rapidity that the house and launch were entirely envel oped In flames when the fireboat an ri ved a few moments after the exploi sion. Several streams of water were played on the blaze and before the ar rival of additional fire-fighting appa ratus the flames Jumped to the adjoin ing boat houses. Battalion Chief CampbeJand Assis tant Chief Stevens immediately directed the efforts of the firemen to saving the craft in the path of the flames. AVfth this end In view, the powerful hose of the fire tug was brought into play and the blazing Matinee Girl, valued at $500, and the launch Leonas, owned by H. L.

The owners of the launches said last night that their boats were Insured against loss by fire. When it was feared the fire would spread, an alarm summoning additional apparatus was sent in. Engine Com panies Nos. 1, 7 and 13, Truck 4 and Hose 3 responded to the assistance of the fire tug.

EXECUTIVE CALLED PETTY Newspaperman Says Important Date on Mooted Claim Was January 4, Which, lie Says, Was Printed in Text With Picture. NEW YORK. April 30. Mayor Gay nor and "William R. Hearst both issued statements last night on the issue of veracity raised Thursday night at the joint banquet of the Associated Press and the Newspaper Publishers' Asso ciation, when the Mayor said Mr. Hearst was a forger and a falsifier. Supplementary statements were is sued by Controller Prendergast, ex Controller Metz -and the District At torney's office regarding rumors that there was a possibility of future legal proceedings as a result of the Mayor's address last night. Mr. Hearst's statement follows: "I am not entirely familiar with all the accusations against Mayor Gaynor or his attempt to divert attention from them by an attack on the American. I have just returned from Mexico. "It is obvious to anyone, however, that the Mayor's defense is false upon its face. "His attack upon the American is entirely disingenuous and wholly un truthful. "His only claim, when it is analyzed, is that the American failed to print clearly the date on a photographic fac simile of one of the documents in the case, although the American carried the same date of the same document clearly printed in type in the text of the article. "What a petty quibble for an import ant man, or rather what a quibble for a petty man, who holds an important po sition! "Anybody who can read, and can think, can see clearly that the date in question is not the important date, anyhow, but that the important date is the date of January 4. a date in Mayor Gaynor's ad ministration upon which the payment to Cohalan of $4S,000 was finally signed and actually authorized. The January signature was affixed by the assistant chamberlain in the office of Chamberlain Hyde. Mr. Gaynor's law partner. "Why does not Mr. Gaynor and Mr. Hyde discuss the date of January 4. about which there is no question of bad printing, about which there is merely a question of bad administration? "Mr. Gaynor saye the American doe.s not print clearly. I say that Mr. Gaynor does not answer clearly. And the really Important thing is for Mr. Gaynor, Mayor of New York, guardian of the people's property, to answer clearly and quickly. "To Mr. Gaynor's blatherskite abuse, I am indifferent, for in all such matters I consider the source and the natural irri tation that a public official feels in being exposed. "A man or a newspaper that seeks sin cerely to serve the people and protect their rights ?nd their property must always expect the antagonism and abuse of the public official who is exposed and pilloried. "When the San Francisco Examiner first attacked and exposed Mayor Schmitz in San Francisco, the indignant individual denounced the Examiner as a public enemy and had hia tame board of su pervisors pass resolutions condemning the paper and assailing me. Still, everybody today knows what happened to Schmitz. "Now, I know perfectly well what is go ing to happen you, Mr. Mayor. "The people are going eventually to find you out and repudiate you and tan both you and Hyde. "And even those newspapers that are now truckling and lickspittling to you in the hope of securing the city advertising will In the end sacrifice those lucrative presents for the priceless privilege of tell ing the truth about you." For the Mayor, Robert Adamson. his private secretary,, gave out the following statement made before the Mayor had seen Mr. Hearst's statement: "The Mayor is not required to sign war ranis ft all. They are made out and signed by the Controller and then by the chief clerk of the Mayor's office, un der authority of the charter. Over 275,000 such drafts are signed in a year, some days over 1100. The Mayor has never signed one. The Cohalan claim was for legal services in the franchise tax suits. Mayor Gaynor never had anything to do with it." cheaper strawberries, don't forget th&t a rhubarb-orange sherbet is a delicate and - excellent frozen sweet. - less often served than it deserves, considering its refreshing quality, ease in making, at tractive appearance and (crowning vir tue!) smallness of cost.

Good green peas are now selling at three pounds for 25 cents. Spinach is excellent Just now; cauliflower is waning; celery is scarce. Hot-house cucumbers are cheaper, costing 5 to 15 cents each. Baby turnips, little larger than radishes, are available for "that lyric among soups, potage printaniere." New potatoes cot about 5 cents a pound, and fine Bermuda onions, 10 cents. There is a particularly good variety of fish this week, the most inexpensive be ing halibut at 8 to 10 cents a pound. Alaska and California salmon costs 20 cents and striped bass 25 cents a pound. Shad is more plentiful at 124 cents. The first shad roe of the season is selling at 40 cents a pound. Black cod. red snapper and sole all cost about 13"4 cents;- and croppies, flounder and perch, 10 cents a pound. Clams are cheap and good just now. costing 10 to 12t4 cents a dozen. When thinking of shortcakes, remember that clam shortcake is a luncheon dish worth trying. Crabs are plentiful, costing 10 to 25 cents each. Lobsters cost 40 cents a pound and frog-legs 40 cents a dozen. Butter is somewhat lower in price and eggs also have declined slightly, indicat ing the opening of the pound cake and wedding cake season "a merry May cake for a merry June wedding." Poultry prices, however, give no cause for merri ment, remaining as they do at last week's high level. ALIENS' RIGHTS UPHELD Tait Believes President Should Set tle Disputes Direct. WASHINGTON, April 30. President Taft, addressing the members of the American Society of International Law. who had called upon him yesterday to pay their respects, said vindication of the rights of foreigners which have been violated on American soil should be adjusted directly by the Chief Ex ecutive instead of the President being obliged to refer those who complain of such breaches of American National ob ligations to Governors of states and county prosecutors. "I do not think that anyone I will not say extremebut however strong his view of the necessity of the pre servation of state rights under the federal Constitution will deny the power of the Government to defend and protect and provide procedure for enforcing the lights that are given to aliens under treaties made by the Gov ernment of the United states," the President said.
