M.nm.lh Teraalaal rtaaaed. The Improvement plans provide, among other Items, for the construc tion of an Immense eight or ten-story freight terminal planned on lines sim ilar to those of the famous Bush ter minal In New York. It Is proposed to operate the trains through the middle of the building, with loading platforms or either side. Accommodations for v'ortng g-oods of Individual shippers will be provided and rented. It will also Include accommodations for ware houses and small manufacturers. In addition to the main terminal building, the Hill lines will erect nu merous smaller warehouses as soon as they have reasonable assurance that they ran be rented. Inducements will be held out for factories to locate alona; the railroad tracks. The Industries that arc expected to develop as a result of the Improvement are expected to sup ply ample means for keeping them active and make them economically successful. Means of connecting- this East Fide terminal with the West Side property of the Hill lines have not yet been de termined, but several plans are under consideration. tlarrlssaa Track May Be I'seiL The most desirable route provides for In boldest execution. It Is for the lllll lines to use the magnificent new llarrlman double track, double-deck bridge across the Willamette now Dur ing completion. This will be possible and entirely practicable, providing the Hill lines can secure an approach on each aide, as the bridge Is being built with common-user provisions. It Is known that representatives of the Hill roads have been negotiating In the last few weeks for property that will pro vide' them with an approach to the new bridge on both the East and the West Eld of the river. If they are successful In this endeavor It Is almost certain that the new bridge will be used. Use of the Southern Pacific bridge at Oswego, which waa built with com mon user provisions, too. Is being con sidered. Connection with this bridge would be furnished through the pro posed new line of the Oregon Electric past Elk Rock, on the West Fide, and t C'iDcIudtt on 1'ift 3 k MASSACHUSETTS CAfZfZiES TH taft- iltT More Tlian 1.330.000 Pounds of Putter Katen Keh Week In GotIiani--Choee F1nd Market."

MAINLY POLITICAL ARE THE TOPICS" TUP TAFT cnnriJPL.TMA trETSMOKE STRENUOUS to CRUSHING MAJORITY OESIRED Possibility of Defections Is Held in Mind. MORE CONFIDENCE FELJ TKidem'a Managers Eliminate 7 .lonel From Their KMlmntes, but Io Not Minimize Effect of Popular Victories. BY SUMXER CCKTIS. WASHINGTON. May 4. (Special.) Although they have eliminated Colonel Roosevelt In their reviews of delegate elections already held and in their analysis of state situations still pend ing, the Taft managers are preparing to put up harder fights than ever dur ing the remaining part of the pre conventlon campaign. As the alignment stands today. Colo nel Roosevelt cunnot win enough dele gates among those still to be elected to capture the nomination at Chicago. Of far greater Importance to tho Taft forces than the numerical strength to be gained In a few state contests, how ever. Is to keep unbroken the align' ment that exists. Allowance must be made for some defection from Taft In the South, although In the end effec tive means may be found for prevent ing violations of Instructions. Noth ing, however, will serve to give ao much moral support to a continuance of the Taft majority that now prevails ap parently aa a few mora popular vic tories such aa that won In Massachu setts. - Overwhelsalaar Victory Desired. A atlll further reaaon or what may be called a variation of the reason Just suggested Is to make the Taft strength so formidable as to Insure his nomina tion at Chicago on the first ballot. There are three avowed candidatea now in the field, and there Is no telling what would happen If La Follette, with his small bunch of delegates, were abla to deadlock the situation when ballot ing time arrived. With many of the supporters of ex- President Roosevelt, the underlying; idea baa been "anything to defeat Taft." The campaign In Its evolution has developed on the Taft side a corre sponding determination to defeat Roose velt. This determination has helped to keep some of the Influences on the Taft aide from swerving to a dark horse candidacy. The fight has been predi cated on the belief, amounting to a practical certainty, that an attempt to play any third candidate game of strat egy at this time would cause a break to Roosevelt and perhaps nominate him on the first ballot. Park florae Talk Still Heard. The logic of the dark horse situation la entirely lacking, therefore, so far aa the Taft leadera are concerned; but as a matter of the day's news and gos sip, talk aa to the possibility of a new candidate cannot be Ignored. Perbapa the roost significant feature of the sit uation at this stage, when Taft appears to have auch a lead that Roosevelt can not hope to overtake him. la that cer tain active supporters of the Colonel are saying: "It does not look so well aa It might for Roosevelt, but Taft will not be re nominated, anyhow," This sort of talk means that If Roose velt cannot be nominated, and If It la seen clearly that be la beaten before the National convention gets to work, lt'onrlud.,1 on Pace 2-1 TCH Campaign Efforts Be Redoubled. Attractive Boston Ian Forsakes So ciety to See, That Wayward Sis- ters Get Square Deal in Court. SAN FRANCISCO. May 4. (Special.) Miss Dorothy Schunck, a young Bos tonlan of unusual attractiveness. Is one of the first women attorneys to practice law In the San Francisco Police Courts. She appeared today before Police Judge Shortal In her maiden case.

FAVORITE FINISHES THIRD Barney Oldfleld Tries to "Come Pack'' but Has Pad Luck With Axle and Tires 1 75,000 Spec tators Witness Struggle. SANTA MONICA. Cal.. May 4. One hundred and seventy-five thousand persons saw new worlds records es tablished at the fourth annual Santa Monica automobile races here today. Teddy Tetxlaff. of Los Angeles, driv ing a 90-horsepower Flat, won the 303- mile free-for-all with the phenomenal record of 78.50 miles an hour, breaking the previous mark of "4.63, made last year by Harvey Herrick In a National on the same course. Caleb Bragg, of Pasadena, was second and David Bruce Brown, of New York, the favorite, was third. In the medium-car event, Relph re Palma. the Italian driver, in a Mercer, set a new record of 9.54 miles an hour for 151 miles, and In the light-car event George Joermann, of Los Angeles, driv ing a Maxwell, placed the 101-mlle rec. ord for small cars at 61.86 miles an hour. Tires Hit .Spectator. Only one serious accident marred the day's racing. Kear the finish of the free-for-all. 'David Lewis, Jn a Stutz car, threw a tire which struck William Ross, of Santa Monica. Ross was knocked unconscious, but not danger ously injured. In his fourth lap Barn".r Oldfleld's iuge Fiat threw a .tire at soldiers Home turn. The tire struck R. W. Pierce, a spectator, a glancing blow, but did not injure him. Again Oldfleld. going more than 100 miles an hour, dashed Into the ditch, but tho daring driver once more es caped unhurt, though this accident and he breaking of a front axle spring in the race virtually put him out of the running. Tetzlaff drove a beautiful race, tak- ng the. lead in the second round. He was never headed. Lap after lap was reeled off at the rate of more than 00 miles an hour on the straight aways, and It was seen early in the race that, barring accidents, he had far too much speed for any of the other cars. Only twice did he stop for tire trouble. " Favorite Is Outclassed. David Bruce-Brown, favorite in the big race, and Barney Oldfleld, who an nounced that he would be able to "come back," were virtually "raced off their wheels." Tetxlaff set 'a heartbreaking pace at the very outset and through out the long grind Bragg seemed to be the only driver able to keep within hailing distance of liim. Dingley, in his powerful Simplex, was a disappoint ment, never standing better than fourth. In the medium-car event De Palma virtually had no opposition, taking the lead at the start and showing the waj to the finish. The light-car event proved the iar prise of the day. Joermann and his Maxwell scarcely had been noticed in the entries, but by consistent driving Joermann. who first sat in a racing car eight months ago, gradually forged to the front and won with five min utes to spare. Tetzlaff narrowly missed losing the (Concluded on Page 6.) REYNOLDS ILLUMINES A QA vS T A VA &CJSTS Salem Girl Wins Cup for Being Best AU-Around Athlete Portland Girl Makes Four-Foot Jump.

Dignity that goes with tho Gover norship is a serious thing, even when typified by a faultlessly white starched collar, but yesterday it was not suf ficient to procect Governor May from the demands of university btudents that left him sans collar and sans necktie. This attack upon the head of the commonwealth was entirely friendly and the Governor emerged grinning his acknowledgement that lie had been properly dealt with. Yesterday was Campus day at the university. On such days are certain small matters ' of custom to be ob served, violations oT which have al ways resulted In summary punishment.
