BT JAMES H. CASS ELL.
For the first time In the history of
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club ln
terclub boxing and wrestling competi
tions, the Winged "M" failed to score
:t single victory when the Double Dia
mond athletes of Seattle made a clean
weep of the four main events of last
night's programme In a serlesof sensa
tional exhibitions, featured by the de
feat of R.Icar Frank, president of the
Pacific Northwest Association and here
tofore invincible wrestler, and "Fire
man'' Knowlton. liKhtweigltt boxinjr
champion of the Northwest.
The names of Oliver Runchie and
Clarence Rothus stand out prominently
In the list of victors In the eight-bout
card, for It was Runchie who demon
strated the inability of the popular
clubman. Kdgar Frank, to "come back."
while Rothus. last season's 125-pound
mitt king of the Northwest, graduated
'into the lightweight class and de
throned "Fireman" Knowlton. the 135
pounder who was the sensation of the
1912 Pacifio Northwest Association's
championship tourney In Portland
Best Not ntaaptpol'itlna;.
When it was announced that Kdgar
FTank. head of the Northwest Amateur
Association, chairman of the indoor
sports committee of the Multnomah
Club and ex-champion of the Pacific
(.'oast at 125 pounds, was to supplant
Cllbborn. a Multnomah Club novice, on
the mat bill, the 1000 fans who trudged
through snow to witness the pro
gramme knew that something extraoi
tlinary In grappling was to be uncov
ered. And they were not disappointed.
It was a case of veteran, cool and
wily, against a youngster, strong and
enduring. Oliver Runchie. of Seattle,
is a real 125-pound wrestling cham
pion. The experience and agility of Frank
enabled him to gain the decision In the
first 15 minutes' bout, but the strength
and recuperative powers of the Seattle
Ite, combined with his uncanny manipu
lations of the bar and half-Nelson,
scored against the "little giant."
Hard Straggle See a.
Frank did not succumb to the invader
without a terrific struggle, and had he
evaded the fall, in the -second- bout
would have won the match on aggres
siveness. He wriggled out of a tight
place in the first bout, but few of the
spectators thought it resulted from
anything but carelessness. He was on
top of Runchie nearly every minute of
the first ten of the second period, but
escaped a half nelson 30 seconds there
after, only to have his shoulders pinned
to the mat in 11 minutes and 40 seconds
on another halt nelson and bar arm
hold.
When the men came up for the third
and deciding bout both were cautious.
They stayed on ' their feet for nearly
five minutes and then alternated on
top until Runchie had obtained the
fatal half nelson after 12 minutes of
hard work. Frank used the scissors
ineffectively and bad no success with
arm holds.
Runchie was ' condemned by the
crowd for contlnally working Ills way
off the mat. while on several occasions
he butted Frank, only to have his face
roughed in return. But this was all
forgotten in the excitement of hailing
a new champion after the fastest and
most exciting bout seen in Portland in
years.
Kaewltoa la Ovtboxed.
Clarence Rothus. the law who has
been likened to a choir boy, should have
received a three-round decision over
Walter Knowlton. He had a fair shade
In the first round, as good in the sec
ond, and a big lead in the third.
Peculiarly. Knowlton's round was the
fourth. If he had a margin on the clever
Seattleite, but Referee Grant, recog
nising the superiority of Rothus in the
first three, unhesitatingly pointed to
Rothus as the winner.
Rothus outboxed Knowlton in the
first round, meeting alt rushes with
straight lefts and right crosses, and
ducking away from the fireman. In
the second he permitted Knowlton to
do all of the leading, jabbing and get
ting away, but in the third suddenly
changed tactics, braced himself against
his opponent, and actually outslugged
him. He refused to yield an inch, cut
ting a gash under Knowlton's right eye
and following this with a volley of
blows, which alt bnt had him reeling
about the ring. In the fourth round,
unwisely called for by the ringside
judges who hated to pass up such a
stirring mill. Knowlton rushed from his
corner and kept on top of his man con
tinually, preventing him from landing
many clean blows. The fireman was
the aggressor throughout the period.
Seisrer la Toe Heavy.
George McCarthy, a champion middle
weight wrestler, tried his best against
a man 40 pounds heavier, but the
weight of Seiger. the Ballard iron
moulder, proved superior to experience
and agility. The . S00 - pounder,
wrestling for the first time before the
lublic, knew little of the game, but
McCarthy could not handle the mass of
bone and brawn, and succumbed to arm
holds in 10 minutes and 3 minutes and
17 seconds, in the two bouts.
Croshaw, the Seattle middleweight.
m LUDtu
defeated Tad Derbyshire, another fire
man, in the fourth round. He led In
the first and second, his blows possess
ing more steam, but Tad came hack
strong in the third, evening up for his
poor work In the first two. But in the
fourth It was Croshaw all the way. He
landed one to the nose at the first of
the three minutes and landed five
blows to one received until the final
gong.
The preliminaries, four in number,
were sandwiched in before and after
the main boxing numbers In order to
permit the Seattle men to catch a train
for home. Kelly, a 125-pounder, was a
Multnomah Club winner, being the only
Winged "M" man to score a victory in
six events. Boddy, his opponent, did
altogether too much covering up to
figure in the points and his fierce ral
lies were belated.
Mahoaey Gets Oeeialoa.
Mahoney. tne Columbus Club middle
weight, was given a close decision over
Dooiing. of the Multnomah Club, a
weak straight left being the winner's
chief asset. Hefferman. the" third of
the Columbus Club victors, is a lanky
115-pounder. with plenty of coolness
and a fair command over his fists.
Lewis, the unattached lad who went
against him. was too green.
Sehmeer. the wild Dutchman, beat
Bovett. the Washington High athlete,
who sports the Columbus Club colors,
after four rounds. Bovett Is another
of these crouching boys, and. In addi
tion, believes in taking the full count
whenever he slips to the floor. He
went fast enough In the third to earn
another round, and there was little to
choose between the two In the fourth.
Ad Wolgast. ex-lightwelght boxing
champion, was one of the spectators.
He was Introduced as "the next light
weight champion." which met with
much applause. He took much Inter
est In the work of Rothus and styles
him a comer.
The officials of the programme:
Jack Grant, boxing referee: Herbert
Greenland, wrestling referee; Frank
Harmar and Ed. Johnson, Judges;
George I Parker and William Inglls,
timers, and George Schalk, announcer.

FDRENCE WEBBER is Naughty
Marietta principal and play. She
Is the leavening process and the sinew
and backbone of the production the
atrically. Victor Herbert's music aids
and abets the lovely and vivacious Miss
Webber or she aids ami interprets
Victor Herbert's music either way
one chooses. But she surely can sing
big, glorious, happy notes full and
golden they trill from her rounded,
white throat, each note a perfect one
and the entirety an assembling of won
der tones.
The book has many points of excel
lency, though most of the spontaneous
and hearty applause of the audience Is
reserved for the second act.
By the way of explanation to a few
who wondered, no doubt, at the omis
sion of several of the comedy songs
a duet or two and one big heralded
feature solo, "Pretty Soft for Silas," it
should be said that the regular come
dian was suddenly seized with Illness
Just before the evening's performance
and his understudy put into the role.
Said understudy has not learned all
the apt and clover little lines that the
regular man uses to "feed" his comedy
partners and did not feel that his
voice last night was equal to the Silas
sonnet, hence some of the comedy
flavor was missing. But certainly and
positively the effervescent and -viva-
clous little WebDer person, who, by the
way. is making her first Pacific Coast
visit, wae the great big worth-while.
And the music! There are all the
tricks and temptings of true Her
bertesque harmonies in it the quick
melodic skips, the crooning, sort-moaning
oboes, the firm slow violin color
ings, the delicacy and precision of the
horns, and all the delightful snatches
repeated on various instruments. In a
whole, the orchestration Is wonderfully
clever, and possesses both melody and
inspiration. The songs are simple and
charming. "It Never. Never Can Be
Love." sung by Marietta ano ner sweet
heart. Captain Warrington. In the -first
act, and "Dream Melody." their big
song in the second act, are both ex
quisite. The Idea of the story is not half bad.
There are pirates and plunder and a
parcel of pretty maids a-huntlng hus
bands in New Orleans in the year 1780.
There is sentiment 'sprinkled plenti
fully enough for the most exacting of
romance yearners and it is all skill
fully presented, with lots of opportu
nity for dramatic conflict and fresh
humor.
. Tonight the reg'lar comedian is going
on and avail himself of all the avenues
of comedy escape.
All the principals sing welL Laura
Baer. as an octoroon slave girl, is
piquant and lovely to look upon and
sings splendidly in a rich contralto.
John Carde as the hero. Captain Dick
Warrington, pleases with the melody
and fine quality of his tenor, and Ed
ward Beck, the pirate king, made an
Instantaneous impression and a mem
orable one, with the real beauty of his
deep, beautifully trained basso.
The settings are unique, the chorus
is well dressed, and by dress, dress is
meant, for there are neither ponies nor
chickens. All the girls are pretty, and
In one big ensemble in the ballroom of

BISHOP
DEFENDS
MODERN" CHILD
Change in Manners Does Not
Mean Ill-Manners, De
clares Clergyman.
PARENTS ARE CENSURED
Less ' Deference Must Be Paid to
Wealth and Rank, He Says Cruel
Discipline to Engender "He- '
spect" Is Condemned.
LONDON, Jan. 18. (Special.) At this
time of the year children not only ex
pect but demand the worship which
may not be their due, but which, at
anv rate, is their Christmas privilege.
They do not pay the New Tear's bills
and they are entitled to envious re
spect on account of this immunity.
The Dean of Manchester, Bishop
Welldon. former Bishop of Calcutta,
metronnlltan of India and prior to that
headmaster of the aristocratically great
school, Harrow, has just come out with
a revolutionary document wmcn is an
to the good" so far as the children are
concerned. But the parents of England
are up in arms against the Bishop. The
average father and the always charm
ing mother wonder how on earth Well
don was ever allowed to rule a great
school, and how he became nisnup
well, words fail them to explain.
The crime of the Bishop is summed
up in his own manifesto, which reads
as follows:
"In short, then, the age 01 autnonty
a nast or is passing away: the age
of sympathy Is coming in. People en
Joy as much respect as they deserve:
some people, I think, enjoy more. If
children are In their manner and bear
ing a little different from the children
nt a nist age. it does not follow that
they are ill-mannered: only their sen
iors must realize more aeepiy tne re
sponsibility of training them not by
precept only but by example In the
right path." -
Not content wltn tnis, ne crosses mo
fa and dots his i's with this Indictment
against the average British parent:
'But education, if It produces good
results, does no doubt excite a certain
sharpness or keenness of wits, a curi
oitv which Is not always polite or
reasonable, and an ambition of getting
on In the world. When people speak
of a deterioration in the manners of
children they are apt to mean tnat re
spect is less freely paid where the per
son who requires or expects it has done
nothina to deserve it.
"It is nerhaos possible to set too
much store on mere manners. If they
are such manners accompanied with
nrh morals as Lord Chesterfield en
joined upon his son they are not worth
much. For manners are only vaiuaDie
as the expressions of a kind and hon-
OSt )sOQlt
"It is certain, however, that under
the dcmocratlcal conditions of modern
life the arbitrary demand for external
tokens of respect will often be made
in vain. There is, and there must be,
less deference paid to wealth, rank or
family, perhaps even to age: but there
Is quite as much paid to character. If
a complaint is made that respect is
dying out. it is generally made by per
sons who are. not entitled to much re
spect. A man who stands upon his
dignity does not. as a rule, possess
much dignity to stand upon. Persons
who want to be respected must be re
spectable. The decadence of the old
obsequiousness to the squire or the par
son, nay, wen to the teacher and the
parent, is not altogether a loss.
"For the lives of children were for
merly rendered miserable by the cruel
discipline which was thought neces
sary as a means of ensuring respect."
This demolition of the parental ped
estal is bad enough, but the bishop
goes on to destroy all veBtiges of au
thority by the following breach of con
fidence: "tt seems, then, there is no real de
terioration of manners among children.
There may be less servility, less un-nueatlonine-
obedience to commands.
whether right or wrong: less dread of
constant and severe punishment. But
where- respect Is deserved it is paid as
freely as ever it was. As children be
come more intelligent they scrutinize
the example set by their parents more
closely. It Is unnatural that a parent
should expect submission to his moral
teaching if he does not himself act
upon his teaching. I remember how,
when I was headmaster of Harrow
School, I once wrote to a parent about
his boy's fault in gambling, and the
father replied that he was much
obliged to me for my interest in his
son, but he was himself a much worse
gambler than his son was or was likely
to be. Parents must try not only to
set their children a good example, but
to make their commands seem rea
sonable in their children's eyes."
The Bishop has spoiled the happy
Christmas holiday in many a family.
The English child. . accustomed to be
relegated early to the nursery, yet
knowing the relative value of a Bishop,
has quoted Welldon with such effect
that traditions of centuries have been
broken down', and all discipline has
been destroyed. The average English
parent is now out for the Bishop's
scalp.

WRONG NEGRO IS BEATEN
Assailant Later Escorts Bleeding
Victim From Station.
Mistaken identity brought Billie
Rhodes, colored, a porter from Salem,
a bad beating, three arrests, and a half
aosen stitches in his head last night,
when he was mistaken three times for
John Doe Weeks, wanted for robbery
and an attack upon the wife of George
Fuller, colored, theatrical man. He
eventually left the police station In
the arms of the husband of the woman,
sure of good treatment until his broken
head shall heal.
Some time ago George r uiier securea
a warrant charging the unknown
Weeks with robbing and attacking Ful
ler's wife. Last night, walking along
Washington street, near First, he met
Rhodes, whose clothes correspond in
description with the missing Weeks.
Thinking him the man. Fuller seized
him. and In the skirmish Rhodes re
ceived two black eyes and a three-inch
cut on the forehead. Two railroad de
tectives happened along at the mo
ment and while Fuller had Rhodes In
the snow, clamped handcuffs on Rhodes.
One of them recognized Rhodes, and
after a parley, released him. He broke
away and ran down the street, while
Fuller took his troubles to the police
station.
Fuller had barely left the station
when Rhodes came in, seeking medical
aid for his badly cut head. Patrolman
Blair, thinking him Weeks, stepped
out and told him he was unaer arrest.
Later Detective Hellyer came In with
a warrant from the detective depart
ment, and went through the ceremony
again. Finally they sent for the woman
to identify him.
"I don't see no man here like the
right one." pronounced Mrs. Fuller,
when told to pick out her assailant.
Rhodes was released, after his head had
been bound up, and under tbe guiding
arm of Fuller, went home.

OVER 13,000 PACKAGES DELIV
ERED FOR $34.20.
Seattle Post-office Handles 40,462
Bundles in Fifteen Days, Cost
ing Only S114.30.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 18, (Spe
cial.) At the remarkably low cost of
$34.20 a total of 13,368 packages have
been delivered in Seattle under the new
parcel post during the 15 days of trial,
January 1 to January 15, inclusive, ac
cording to the report made today to
Postmaster-General Hitchcock by Post
master Russell.
Approximately ten times the ordi
nary number of packages were mailed
in Seattle since the parcel post was
established. Their average weight
was 22 ounces for local delivery and
38 ounces for outside delivery, show
ing it was the' reduction in cost rather
than increase in weight limit that In
duced the public to patronize the new
system.
Packages mailed for delivery inside
Seattle totaled 2013. The postage on
this amounted to $124.48. Incoming
parcels delivered amounted to 11,355
and the grand total of all parcels de
livered in Seattle was 13,368. All this
was handled at a cost of $34.20, -
Outgoing packages aggregated 33,
101, averaging In weight 38 ounces.
These were handled here at an in
creased cost of but $114.80 over or
dinary expenditures, while the postage
from these was $6731.04.
't-v, o-T-a n a tnml nf outfiroins:. incom-
inr and local packages was 46,469, av
eraging 3097 per day.
The low cost here is due to regular
carriers handling the packages in addi
tion to their ordinary mans, ino auui-
tlonal expense 01 13. zv was causea uy
the use of substitute carriers to handle
large bundles.
The chief recommendation made by
Seattle office was abolition of distinc

OREGON VETERAN WRITES
Old Soldier Absent From State 47

From the Soldiers' Home in Danville,

cial Club, Friday, a letter from a man
who had not been In Oregon since l&Db
and who does not expect ever to re

the growth of Oregon from, what
seemed to him a wilderness when he
campaigned here in the Indian wars
led him to ask that more Information
be sent him if possible.
In his letter he says:

COMPANY DENIES DEBT
Suit of W. M. Jackson Declared to
Have "o Basis.
In regard to the suit brought against
the Churchill-Matthews Company by
W. M. Jackson for $60,000 damages, A.
C. Churchill, president of the. company,
yesterday made the following state
ment: .
"While papers In such a case have been
served on us, there is absolutely no basis
for any such suit, as in no way, shape or
manner have we broken any contract;
nelthor do .we owe. nor did we ever owe
said Jackson any money.
Jackson made a verbal agreement on a
particular transaction, to do certain things,
and on his word we consummated the deal
which he afterwards repudiated, and In the
discussion over this affair he made himself
very obnoxious and objectionable, which
placed' him in disrepute not only with the
principals of. this firm, Messrs. Churchill
and Matthews, but all of the office staff.
"While we place no value or importance
to any action that might emanate from Jack
son we naturally desire to counteract the
publication and wide circulation of a preju
dicial statement.
FLOUR GOES UP 20 CENTS
Selling Price Is $1.40 and Further
Advance Is Predicted.
There was another advance of 20
cents a barrel in flour prices Friday.
This is the second that has occurred
in a week.
The wheat market Is soaring and
flour prises are keeping pace with the
upward movement of wheat. As it is
likely that wheat will go higher, con
sumers can also expect to pay more for
their flour before the season is over.
