PORTLAND GETS 14 HITS
In Last Two Games McCredie's Men
SLow Improvement, Making but

, Is to Be Met Today.
r BY KOSCOE FAWCETT.
SIOXOLULU. T. II.. March 3. (Spe
clal.) Portland has found Its batting
eye and what the Beavers are doing
to these island pitchers its a shame.
"So less a personage than the well-
known Johnny Williams was pounded
lor 14 lusty wallops this afternoon,
and the Beavers galloped off with their
second straight win. 10 to 3. The St.
Louis College team was the victim.
Kenneth Penner (Marshalltown)
started on the knoll for the Mackian
machine, but was relieved by Lyle
Bigbee at the start of the fifth, after
he had been pounded for five of the
islanders' seven hits and all of their
runs.
Two errors by the Chinese collegians,
which put as many Portland runners
on the bases, and Outfielder Kenneth
Williams' home run turned defeat into
victory. Three runs scored on thin
account and put the score at 4 to 3
with the ilackmen out in front.
Chinese Fielder Irrs.
Next the Mongolian center fielder
misjudged a long hard-hit fly ball off
the bat of Third Baseman Ralph Pi
nelli with two more men on the has
socks. It aleo went for a home run
and three more counted. Hits by
Charley Hollocher and Bill iJtumpf reg
istered the first Portland tally.
In the five innings which he toiled.
Lyle Bigbee allowed but two hits and
at no time did the St. Louis College
nine have a chance to score. Kan
Yen, who has been signed by Manager
McCredie. caught for the opposition.
His double in an early inning scored
one of the home boys' runs and he
caught a fairly good game although
he looked rather bad a. couple of times
with two weak passed balls.
Kenneth Williams certainly looked
good at the plate today, leading the at
tack with three healthy biffs, one the
home run chronicled above. He said
that his stiff legs felt better tonight.
Denny Wilie. Hollocher, Stumpf and
Merle Wolfer each got two blows and
Pinelli. Gus Fisher and Bill Rodgers
one each.
Charley Hollocher suffered a slight
cut above the ankle. The accident
happened as he was touching out a
would-be Chinese base thief sliding
into second. The injury is slight and
he will not be kept out of the game.
Beaver' Erroa Total One.
Fisher and "Dink" O'Brien divided
the receiving work and both pegged
the ball to bases with eclat. Port
land's fielding was excellent today as
it was yesterday against the Fort
Ruger lads. In each game the Coast
Leaguers made but one error. The St.
Louis College team kicked three.
Tomorrow afternoon the AU-Chinese
team, which defeated the Portlanders,
3 to 8, last Sunday, will be met again.
Vernon Ayau, the Seattle Chinese re
cruit outfielder, busted up last Sun
day's game with a homer in the ninth,
scoring two runs.
Luckye and Hoonki, who chucked
against the Beavers in the last game,
will be on the mound for the All
Chinese laddies once more and expect
another victory. Kan Yen will catch
for them.
The summary of this afternoon's
game follows:
R- H. E. R. H. E.
Portland ...10 14 IS t. Louis Col. 3 7 3
Batteries Portland. Penner, Bigbee
and Fisher, O'Brien; St. Louis College,
Williams and Kan Yen.
Manager McCredie refused to say to
night whom he would start tomorrow,
although Schatzlein is the probable se
lection for the starter. Boss Walter
wants to wallop the Chinamen and the
Los Angeles southpaw is in the best
condition of any of the. Portland
flingers.
Homer Starts Things.
The Herculean Beaver leader Is In
high spirits tonight at the swatting
of today. Johnny Williams is the
pitcher whom Harry Wolverton sold
to Detroit a few seasons back after
the Kanaka chap had hung up quite a
record in the Coast League. Wolver
ton then managed Sacramento. Wil
liams is in good shape, too, and had
something on the ball, but when Wil
liams hit that homer it was the sign
for the Beavers to wipe the dust out
of their eyes and cut loose.

AUTO LOCK IS INVENTED
T. C. Swinney, of Portland, Has De
vice to Balk Thieves.
With automobile thieves disturbing
the tranquility of automobile owners
a Portland man. T. C. Swinney, of the
Montgomery apartments, has invented
a lock that will anticipate depreda
tions. The patent for the lock has been
applied for, Mr. Swinney completing
the safeguard last week. It is called
the simplex auto locking device. A
pin is drilled through the steering
post, not weakening the post, but dis
connecting the gas and spark coil. The
pin is slipped into place and the collar
is snapped over it. locking with a spe
cial lock which cannot be picked or
pried off.
To adjust the lock to any machine
takes a mechanic but 30 minutes. The
lock will fit any machine and it will
sell for a nominal price.
Mr. Swinney is a former major league
baseball player and he has made his
home in Portland for several years.
THIRSTY IN FINAL RU&
Seattle Crowds Get Permits to Im
port Liquor for Last Time.
SEATTLE. Wash., March 3. Record
breaking crowds of men and women
were lined up at the County Auditor's
office today, applying for permits to
import liquor under the state law. The
applicants believed that permits ob
tained before President Wilson signed
the bone-dry amendment to the post
office law would be valid.
The United States District Attorney
said he would take no steps toward en
forcing the new law until he had re
ceived an official copy of it. On each
permit Issued after noon the following
warning drawn up by County Prose
cutor Lundin was stamped: "
"This permit does not sanction or
authorize the violation of any statutes
of the United States now In existence,
or which may hereafter be enacted, re
specting the transportation of liquor."
It is believed by attorneys that liquor
dealers outside the state will decline
to ship goods to addresses in this state
after the hour of the President's signa
ture to the bone-dry amendment.
PATENT LAWS DISCUSSED
W. It. Lltzenberg Talks to Oregon
Section of Chemical Society.
A discussion of the patent laws, es
pecially as they have to do with the
protection of the discoverer of new
compounds, was taken up by W. R.
Litzenberg, attorney, -in an address be
fore the Oregon section of the Na
tional Chemical Society at the Seward
Hotel last night.
Mr. Litzenberg explained the require
ments of a compound In order that a

case. The Government today com
pleted and filed its brief with the Su
preme Court.
It sets up two main contentions:
That the decree issued by Judge Wol
verton is in entire harmony with the
mandate of the Supreme Court and that
the Ferris act, of last session, is a
proper exercise of power by Congress.
The Government denies that under the
first Supreme Court decision of the
law, the railroad company has a right
to the timber on the unsold portion
of the grant; that the timber, so far
as the railroad is concerned, goes with
the land, and that the injunction
against disposition of the timber was
in accord with the holding of the Su
preme Court.
Railroad's Contention Opposed.
Under the terms of the Supremo
Court decision, the Government con
tends that Congress had unrestricted
authority to dispose of the lands so
long as it secured to the railroad "all
the value that the granting acts con
ferred." This, it is maintained, was
done by the Ferris act, which gives
the railroad $2.50 per acre, less certain
deductions.
The railroad, having for 40 years
violated the terms of the granting act
in selling contrary to law, and in later
years refusing to sell at all. the Gov
ernment contends, it cannot now in
sist that Congress shall not disturb its
original contract, but rather should be
penalized.
Rights Set at $2.50 an Acre.
Moreover, it is argued that the rail
road has exhausted all its rights In
the grant other than the 2.50 an acre
which the Ferris act recognizes. The
Government denies that the railroad
company has any right to log, farm
or mine the lands of its grant.
So far as the free transportation of
troops and Government supplies are
concerned, the Government holds that
the railroad company was fully com
pensated for this when it received, or
does receive, the equivalent of $2.50 for
each acre granted; that it had no right
to expect or to claim more under the
grant.
The court Is asked, among other
things, to pass on the validity of the
Ferris act-

CHEHALIS MAN WITH FUNSTON
AT CAPTURE OF AGUINALDO
Death of General Recalls Story of Part Played by Captain Oliver P. M.
Hazzard and His Matabcle Scouts in Ruse Which Proved Successful.'
H
OQUIAM, Wash.. March 3. (Spe
cial.) The sudden death at San
Antonio, Texas, of Maior-General
Frederick Funston, and his funeral the
other day at San Francisco, has brought
up many stories of the stirring inci
dents in the life of the General, but
in a life filled with adventure none
was more noteworthy or brought him
greater fame than the capture of Agui
naldo, the leader of the Filipino rebels,
in the wilds of Northern Luzon. This
exploit of General Funston and four
other Army officers practically marked
the end of the Filipino insurrection.
Captain Oliver P. M. Hazzard. United
States cavalry, and now with the Army
patrolling the Mexican border, was one
of the white men with General Funston.
his company of native scouts being the
force used in Aguinaldo's capture. It
was Captain Hazzard, then a lieutenant
of Macabebe scouts, who gained the
first information of the exact where
abouts of Aguinaldo. The other three
white men were his brother. Captain
Russell Hazzard, Lieutenant Newton
and Lieutenant Mitchell.
Captain Hazzard's home is near Che
halis. and he went to the Philippines as
a corporal In Company M. First Wash
ington volunteers, the Southwest Wash
ington company, which was made up
largely of Hoqulam and Chehalis men.
He told the story of the capture of
Aguinaldo at a dinner given in this
city in his honor by old comrades of
Company M, when he was on a visit
to Hoquiam some two years ago.
He told the story reluctantly and only
after repeated urging by his former
messmates. Captain Hazard remained
in the Philippines when the time of
service of the First Washington ex
pired and was made a Lieutenant in the
volunteer cavalry then organized and
was put in command of a large force
of native scouts, organized from the
Macabebes. ,
Aguinaldo was known to be in the
northern part of the island of Luzon,
but it was a wilderness and the Ameri
can Army had not been able to reach
his fastness. General Funston com
manded the forces at the northern lines
and Lieutenant Hazzard, with his
natives scouts, was at the extreme ad
vance positions.
One day a detachment of Hazzard's
scouts brought in a native runner, a

Amazing Operations Disclosed
Following the Arrest
of Two Men.
FORD CARS ARE SPECIALTY
Five Stolen Machines Recovered in
Portland Collusion by Some
Owners to Collect Insur
ance Is Suspected.
Operations of a band of automobile
thieves whose activities have been on
an amazingly large scale and whose
clever methods have defied detection
for many months, have come to light
in investigations which have resulted
in the arrest of Ray D. Gould and L. E.
Lawrence. Lawrence is being held In
the County Jail, and Gould is out on
bond of $2000.
The thefts have been confined to
Ford cars, and indications are that at
least 29 machines of this make which
have been stolen in recent months can
be traced to this gang. Three stolen
cars were recovered Friday night, ana
two more yesterday.
Under the grilling of Chief Deputy
District Attorney Collier. Lawrence Is
said to have admitted assisting in many
of the thefts.
The arrests were the result of an in
vestigation of Frank Beatty. a private
aetective in the employ of the McCar
gar. Bates & Lively insurance firm, and
Constable Mark Peterson, who predict
that there will be others caught in the
dragnet before the probe is completed.
Garasre Aid Investisated.
The possibility that somei local gar
ages may have co-operated with the
thieves by furnishing active assistance
in the elimination of engine numbers
and distinguishing marks from the
stolen machines is being Investigated.
Methods used by the thieves elicited
admiration from the officers by reason
or tne ingenuity displayed. In sev
eral instances a stolen car would be
sold, stolen back within a few hours,
and re-sold. In other cases a stolen
icar would be insured by one member
or tne gang, stolen from him by a sec
ona meraoer, .sola, and the uisurance
collected and pooled for division. with
the amount obtained in the sale, f
A peculiar phase of the situation is
this: There have been no frantic ef
forts on the part of owners of the ma
jority of the cars stolen, to apprehend
tne tnieves They have seemed too well
content with the insurance they have
collected after the theft. Investigation
has been on the initiative taken by the
insurance company and followed up
strongly ty the orrice of District At
torney Evans.
Collusion Is Suspected.
This all leads to the conclusion that
in some instances there may have been
collusion between the owners and the
thieves, the owners being tired of pay
ing on contracts for the machines, In
tne case of new cars, or desirous or
converting their cars into cash quick
ly, in the case of old cars, and the
thieves being content with the prices
received in tne sale of the stolen cars.
The first direct clew to the operations
or tne gang was in the theft of the au
tomobile of Lawrence E. Craswell, of
uresham, on Fifth street, between Yam
hill and Salmon, an hour and a hall
after he had bought it from Ray D.
Gould, of 593 Karl street, for $415. The
number on the engine of the car was
round to be the same as on a car sold
in Seattle and in possession of E N.
Feroe, of Manette, Wash.
The gang had learned the numbers
on cars sold in Seattle and would file
off original numbers and stamp on
numbers of Washington cars Thev
would then apply to the Secretary or
state ior a new uregon license to go
with a car with an altered number.
This was done to eight cars, of which
the investigators have knowledge.
Gould was formerly in the employ of
a Ford factory in Seattle and is thor
oughly familiar with the make of car
In which he is accused of illegal traf
ficking. Incidentally, a civil suit was filed in
the Circuit Court yesterday against

member of the Tagalog tribe, from
whom a large packet of papers written
in cipher was captured. Suspecting
that these might be messages of im
portance. Lieutenant Hazzard took the
papers to General Funston and the
cipher was finally deciphered and was
found to be orders from Aguinaldo to a
rebel leader in the south to send a
regiment to his headquarters in the
north and giving directions as to where
to find him.
General Funston took the dispatches
and went to General Otis, military Gov
ernor. Then Lieutenant Hazzard was
sent for and the plans laid for the
attempt to capture Aguinaldo. Every
thing was carried on with the greatest
secrecy. Not even the Army officers In
Manila Jcnew of the plan, for fear some
word might be dropped which would be
carried by the natives to Aguinaldo.
Hazzard picked 90 of his most trust
worthy natives, men whom he believed
could be trusted to be loyal to the
Americans. They were taken to Manila
and with the five white officers quietly
departed by steamer, sailing around the
south end of the island and landing- on
the east coast about 100 miles south of
where Aguinaldo had his headquarters.
Then the expedition plans were laid
carefully. None of the white men car
ried a weapon on the march north along
the beach. They were posing as prison
ers, the members of an American engi
neering party, and their captors were
the "advance company of the regiment
Aguinaldo had ordered to Join him."
A bodyguard for General Funston
and his officers was selected from the
most loyal of the loyal native company.
These were constantly with the offi
cers, and in passing through native
villages would beat, krek and push the
white men to show they were captives.
The little force camped at night in
native towns and the five white men
were lodged in the native Jails, while
the Macabebes mingled with the people
of the village. In the morning the
march would be resumed.
It had been expected the march to
Aguinaldo's headquarters would be
made in three days, but five were re
quired and the little force ran out of
food and for the last two days had
only some parched corn, which they
carried in their pockets.
. At last, almost exhausted from the

long march along the beach and over
hard trails and because of lack of food.
General Funston's little force came to
the first outpost some ten miles from
Aguinaldo's camp. Then came the
crucial test of dependence on the
loyalty of the natives and their ability
to handle the situation. Aguinaldo's
orders were to hold the troops he ex
pected from the south, at the outpost.
A runner was sent forward with a
message to Aguinaldo telling him this
was the advance guard of the regiment,
that this company and the regiment
were starving and asking permission to
come in at once and urging him to send
supplies back to the regiment.
Following this runner, another was
sent out from Funston's force, who car
ried a "fake" reply. After going out
some distance, he was to return with a
supposed message from Aguinaldo tell
ing the strangers to go on into head
quarters. The ruse worked and the white men
and the Macabebes started forward.
Three miles out the native scouts saw
the real runner returning and the force
stepped into the brush along side the
trail and he went by not knowing they
were there.
Darkness fell and the last few miles
of the advance on Aguinaldo's head
quarters were made in the dark over
a strange trail which had to be covered
rapidly, for fear the outpost already
passed, learning something was wrong,
would start a pursuit. Finally the last
outpost before Aguinaldo's camp was
reached. It was at the bank of the
river, on the other side of which stood
the camp composed of several hundred
of Aguinaldo's troops.
When Aguinaldo was informed the
company had arrived, his- orders were
for the natives to come on into camp,
but that the white men were to be left
at the outpost across the river.- j
Hazzard's scouts crossed and entered
Aguinaldo's camp. The rebel leader's
force was drawn up and the new ar
rivals marched between the two lines
into the open square and stacked their
arms before the arsenal. Ranks were
broken and the new arrivals scattered
about, visiting- with the rebel troops
but gradually -working their way back
to where their guns were stacked. Sud
denly at a signal they seized their rifles
and opened fire on the rebels, who, taken
unawares, fled Into the woods. They
had been cut off from their arms, which
were in the arsenal.
In the meantime the white men. with
nothing but a leaky boat, had managed
to cross the river and landed at the
entrance to the camp. As the rebels
fled, the five officers, who had been
given their revolvers, with their body
guard opened fire from another direc
tion on the fleeting rebels, making it
appear they were being attacked by a
much superior force, in place of the less
than a hundred men.
As soon as the firing began, the chief
scout rushed iip the stairs to Agui
naldo's quarters, which was on the sec
ond floor of a building facing the
square and the scene of the fighting.
The rebel leader and his aid had run to
the window when the firing began and
the scout's entrance into the room from
behind took them unawares. Both
swung around and the aid fired at
the scout, but missed, and the latter
fired at the aid. whom he believed he
hit, but who dived head foremost out
of a window into the river and was
not seen afterward.
Lieutenant Hazzard stood guard that
night over Aguinaldo, spending the
night sitting with him in his head
quarters room. The rebel leader asked
many questions and was a pleasant
companion. Much of the time he kept
his nana m hts coat pocket. Toward
morning, when he became satisfied he
would be treated as a prisoner of war,
with the respect due a general, Agui
naldo drew from his pocket a loaded
revolver and handed it to Hazzard. No
one had thought to search the rebel.
Next morning, with their prisoner,
the little force returned to the beach,
signaled the steamer by a fire to come
in and they were picked up and taken
back to Manila.
