Formal dedication services were planned to be held this afternoon a, the bridge but as uovernor Olcott and the members of the state high way commission were late in arriving the ceremonies were postponed. The delegations proceeded to Seaside where a dinner was held this evening. Tomorrow's programme, including automobile races on the beach, will be under the supervision of the Port land Ad club. The governor, secretary of state, chairman of the state highway com mission and other high officials with titles lofty enough to bow the head of any mere layman, mean nothing in the life of Officer Abbott, who patrols the lower Columbia highway near St. Helens. Governor Is Detained. For so strongly did Officer Abbott uphold the edict of the law on the highway that Governor Olcott, Secre tary of State Kozer, K. A. Booth, chairman of the state highway com mission, and party consisting of two automobile loads of dignitaries bound for the opening of the Toungs Bay bridge on the Seaside highway, were unable to keep their appoint ment as a result of speeding charges placed against them by the officer. As a result, the crowds from Port land and the coast cities waited at the bridge till President Harding touched an electric button opening the bridge and then adjourned with out the exercises which the gover nor and party were scheduled to con duct. Sir. Koser Gets First Attention. Sam Kozer, accompanied by Dr. R. , E Lee Stelner, superintendent of the ' state hospital; A. Phlmister Proctor of Salem, A. JX.lndberg. Portland news paper man, and his driver, first drew the attention of the officer. The car slowed down at the "you're plnched" signal, and five minutes of argument and the official card of the secretary of state convinced Abbott that he could pass them by. As they left someone whispered that the gov ernor was due, and Abbott swung his motorcycle back upon the road with the famous "they-Bhall-not-pass" motto of the Columbia county speed force on his lips. Governor's Anto Stopped. Governor Olcott, renowned for his recent exploit of running a speeder to cover on the east side highway, came merrily along in his car, accom panied by R. A. Booth, chairman of Concludelonraee 13, Column 1.)

OLD JUPE DEFEATS TS YANKS AND GfAN Fourth Game of Series Is Halted by Downpour. RUTH GETS CHANCE TO REST Huggins Is Preparing to Start Great Offensive. FRISCH RATED BIG HERO Ruth and Kelly, Home Run Kings, Are Fanned More Times Than fy Other Players. RUTH ADVISED SOT TO PJ.AY. NEW YORK, Oct. S. Babe Ruth, champion home-run slug ger, was told by Dr. George D. Stewart late today that his in fected left arm, operated on Friday, must be given at least a week's rest. This means that the Yankees' star. If the doc tor's advice is heeded, will not appear in the remainder of the world series. Ruth's arm was Injured Just above the elbow two weeks ago when he stole second base in a game with Cleveland. After the game Friday with the Giants an incision was made. "My absence won't hurt the Yankees," he said. "It will only make them fight all the harder." BY GRANTLAND RICE. (Staff Writer for the New York Tribune. Published by Arrangement.) NEW YORK. Oct. 8. (Special.) A raw, pitiless, October rain overpow ered Giants, Yanks, and 21,000 spec tators today, bringing the fourth game of New York's world series to an abrupt halt, before a blow had been struck. As. .a result of the downpour those holding tickets for today's game will sit in the seats of the mighty on Sunday as Carl Mays and Shuffling Phil Douglas stand face to face in their second strong arm struggle. The postponement, while depress- ng the .nultitude, works in favor of he Yanks. It gives Mays and Hoyt an extra day of rest and permits the swollen territory around Baba Ruth's right elbow to subside a few feet before Ruth starts again. Babe had a hunk taheh out of the elbow after Friday's game, but the divet has been replaced and there seems to be no chance of the qli wing exploding in a crucial moment. Weather Man Unpopular. As the rainfall increased Just be fore 2 o'clock George Christian, Jr., secretary to President Harding, asked Judge Landia what ho Intended to do about impeaching the weather man, and the Judge promised, if it happens again, to have him tossed to the lions. Foiled at the game, Mr. Christian then got an advance date at golf wherein Ring W. Lardner and your humble correspondent are to oust again in the sand-filled trough against President Harding and Irvin S. Cobb. Tiie contest is to come off ust before the disarmament confer ence. As John J. McGraw came in and announced that the game was off. more than 40,000 infuriated spectators went about poking into dark corners for the author of these remarks: It isn't raining rain to me, it's raining aaiioaus; n every dimpled drop I met. wild flowers on the hills. The clouds ot it ray engulf the day and niae me leave, or Drown. It isn't raining rain to me. it's raining roea uown. When shown this lyrical expression from the pen of a light-hearted bard., LABOR CHIEF DOUBTS STRIKE ON RAILROADS CRIPPLE, 56, IS HIT BY TWO AUTOMOBILES TRAIXMteN-S PRESIDENT SAYS .FIRST CAR KNOCKS MAX DOWN, CONDITIONS RECOGNIZED. I SECOND GOES OVER HIM. Walkout on Some One Line Held Possible, but Probability Is Not Admitted. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 8. Predic tion that there will be no general strike on the part of the railroad transportation brotherhoods was made today by William G. Lee, presi dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Mr. Lee based his predic tion on his belief that "the average labor leader Is not Insane to the ex tent of not recognizing conditions as they now exist." Asked whether he admitted the possibility of a strike on any one rail road, he replied that It was possible, but he did not admit its probability. Mr. Lee returned yesterday from Chicago, having supervised the can vass of the strike vote of more than 150,000 members of his organization, taken in protest against the 12 per cent wage reduction ordered by the United States railroad labor board ef fective July 1. Mr. Lee declined to be a party to the Joint .strike ballot of the other brotherhoods sent out 'early in Sep tember, . claiming nothing could le gally be included in such a ballot, ac cording to the Esch-Cummins law, ex cept the wage reduction of July 1, sini.6 the labor board had not made a decision on other subjects men tioned in the Joint ballot.

Tom Gaynor, a cripple. 55 years old. living at 210 Hall street, was at the point of death in St. Vincent's1 hos pital last night as a result of being knocked down by one automobile at the intersection of Fourth and Main streets, to be run over a moment later by a machine which was closely following the first. Walter J. De Temple, route 3, Lents, turned west on . Main from Fourth street, and as he did so his right- rear fender knocked Gaynor, who was about five feet from the curb and at the Intersection, to the pavement. The machine of C. D. Bruun, Waverly Country club, then ran upon the prostrate form and dragged it about ten feet, according to Patrolman Atkinson, who investi gated. Mr: Brunn stopped at the scream of a woman who had wit nessed the accident. De Temple did not know that he had knocked Gaynor down, according to Norman J. Atkinson, 269 Fifth street, a witness, until Atkinson stopped him with uplifted hand. At St. Vincent's hospital It was said that Gaynor suffered from severe bruises and contusions about the head which might conceal a fractured skull and attendants were pessimistic in reporting his condition.

DENTIST "FEELS LOT BETTER" Jury to Try Case May Be Completed Tomorrow. ANOTHER VENIRE ORDERED Accused Continues Courteous Treat fnent of Wife; Important AYit nesses "Under Cover." BY DON SKEN'E. ROSEBURG, Or.. Oct. 8. (Special.) The Jury that will try Dr. R, M. Brumfield for the alleged murder of Dennis Russell began to take def inite and permanent form today. When court adjourned at 2:30 P. M. 11 tentative Jurors were in the box and eight of the peremptory chal lenges by which members of the ten tative Jury may Be rejected remained at the disposal of attorneys tor the defense and prosecution, the former having five challenges left and the latter three. Assuming that all the challenges are used, three permanent jurors would be left. As each side will probably not use Its complete allot ment, at least five and possibly more permanent jurors may be considered as finally accepted. Early adjournment of court today was made necessary when the Jury panel of 60 names drawn Thursday was exhausted and a venire of 25 more prospective Jurymen was or dered drawn by Judge Bingham after consultation with opposing' attorneys. Trial Slay Brain Tuesday. L The case will be resumed at 10 A. M. Monday, and attorneys predicted that, barring unforeseen complications, the permanent jury will be completed during the afternoon session Monday. The tentative Jury includes the fol lowing: Amos B. Crlpp, Riddle; Q. M. Hartshorn, Riddle; Vincent Applegate, Yoncalla; M. K.. Kby, Butherlin; Joseph Wlniford, Sutherlin; Fred Farker Sr., Canyonville; J. O. Metx. Days Creek; Dick Hanan, Yoncalla; George Edds, Yoncalla; Smith de Muth. Sutherlin, and J. F. McClana- lian, Oakland. Dr. Brumfield today had fully re covered from hiB attack of stomach trouble and nausea of the day before. He ate a light breakfast .and greeted his attorneys in the courtroom with the assurance that he felt "a whole lot better." The slight Illness of the dentist yesterday was the basis for exaggerated reports that he was on the verge of collapse, but he showed today that he had himself under com plete control and that his iron nerve had not broken under the strain of the rapidly approaching crisis in his life. Courteir Shown Wife. The accused man maintained his extreme courtesy toward his wife to day. They sat with their chairs as close together as possible and several times he rested his hand affection ately on her arm. Dr. Brumfield seemed jta realize to day that many of the men facing him n the Jury box would be members of the "Jury. of his peers" which will consider the testimony, which may ead him to the gallows or free him from the murder charge. He studied each face in the Jury box Intently and except when he whispered to his wife scarcely took his eyes off the prospective jurymen as they were questioned. A crowd of nearly 200 persons gathered near the entrance to the jail to watch him when he was escorted by his guards from the courthouse this afternoon. It was - a curious crowd, which seemed fascinated by MAN SHOT, PAL TAKEN, PRETTY GIRL ESCAPES CLARKE COUNTY FARM SCENE OF iLIQUOIt RAID. Wounded One Brought to Hospital. Guard Is Cleverly Outwitted by Young Woman. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) One man was shot and seri ously wounded tonight, another cap tured and a pretty girl, about 25 years old, managed to trick the offi cers and make her escape in the course of a liquor raid on the old MoCreal place, about one mile north east of Sifton and seven miles north of Vancouver. The Injured man, Jure Czitanovich, 31 years old, whose address was given on a letter found In his pocket as 50 North Third street, Portland, was rushed to this city In an automobile driven by the girl and was accompa nied by Sheriff Thompson and his two deputies. Nelson Steele and C. W. Ragust. The man was operated on at once at St. Joseph's hospital. , The girl, after she had asked per mission to telephone a cousin In Tort land, was turned over to Joe Hall, prosecuting attorney, who misunder stood the order and did not watch her. The girl dashed to the big car, which had been left standing in the street, ad drove away. The shooting occurred when Czita novich refused to halt when com manded, to do so by Steele. He fell at the second shot and managed to crawl back to the deputy, whom he begged not t J fire again. In the meantime the girl remained in the automobile. Matt Babich, the other man, had gone to the house and was arrested there by Deputy Ragust. When the sheriff raided the house in, the afternoon no one was in sight. By pulling up a few boards in the main room of the place and digging with his hands in the dirt he found a trap door which led to an under ground room, which was lined with kegs of mash and finished liquor. The officers decided to wait, and it was not until about 8 o'clock to night that the two men and the girl appeared on the scene. BOY DROWNS AT DOCK (Concluded on Page 2. Column 1.)

Weather predictions for tho week be ginning Monday: Northern and south ern Rocky mountain and plateau re gions generally fair and normal temperatures. Pacific states generally fair and normal temperature, but with a prob ability of occasional rains on the north coast. Agricultural "Bloc" in Congress Also Voices Demand for Action in Itolmlf ot Troduccrs. WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 8. De velopments which were declared to presage early reduction in railroad freight rates and a clearing of the railroad situation generally came here today from several quarters. A group of prominent railroad ex ecutives conferred today with Presi dent Harding and Senator Cummins, republican, Iowa, chairman 'of the senate Interstate commerce commit tee, and discussed steps toward freight rate reductions preliminary to the executives' meeting in Chicago October 14: Rate reductions also was the prin cipal topic of the programme at a. meeting tonight of democratic and republican senators comprising the unofficial agricultural "bloc." Sen ators attending the meeting said there was a wide and vigorous de mand for rate cuts as imperative to agricultural Interests. Honda Kxpretrd to Art. Senator Cummins, after his confer ence with the railway executives, said he believed they would adopt at their Chicago meeting his suggestion for an immediate reduction of freight rates. No definite assurances to this effect were given hirrujat today's con ference, ho explained, but he ex pressed th opinion that the reduc tions would he made by the carriers voluntarily. Tho carriers then, Senator Cummins said, would ask the railroad labor board to reduce wages or appeal to congress for legislation to meet the situation caused by the voluntary rate reductions. The railway executives in the con ference Included T. Hewitt Cuyler, representing a railway securities holders' organization; Samuel Rea, president of the I'ennslyvanla system; President Smith of the New York Cen tral; President Holden of tho Barling ton system, and Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern Pacific. Wnftr Reduction Next. "The railway executives," said Sen ator Cummins, after the conference, "feel that the only substantial way to reduce rates is to reduce wages. They also feel that the wage-fixing functions of the railroad labor board should bo transferred to the Inter stale commerce commission, which has the rate-making, or return, powers." Senator Cummins said ho did not gather that the railway- executives favored complete abolishment of the labor board, but believed that the same federal authority which estab lishes railroad rates, or returns, should also have power to establish wages. This would require amend ment by congress of tho transporta tion act and may be brought up later after the Chicago conference. The railway executive at Chicago, the senator said he understood, would "call In representatives of agricul tural, shippers', commercial and other organizations" to discuss the rate and wage questions. The carriers, he said, would probably seek the sup port of these Interests In the event they should agree to reduie freight rates voluntarily and appeal to the labor board for wage rriuctions and (Concluded on l'aRe 12.
