(Heirtt Ntws by LengMt Um4 Win.) New York. Aug. S How Ion will racing last In the state of Naw TorkT Thar la a question asked every day within the hearing of almost avary rac ing man and. I Jnlght aay. It talta the naU upon the head, bo far as Bounding the subject uppermost In the minds of turfmen at thla proclse moment The fight between the Jockey club and "Jim1" Butler, promoter and preceptor of the Empire City coursa at Yongers. mew York brings out the cry In effect that the two factions will cut themselves to pieces, but at the same time the turf will also auffer annihilation. The best answer to the Interrogation above is that so long as August Belmont lives so long will racing about New York Belmont Soles Supreme. There was never a better example of "One-Man-Power" than tfat afforded by August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey club4aod the upbullder of the sport In urfynkactlnn of th country. He is not WTiXr one of the great money factors of the world, nut ueimoru, uniine j. r. Uornn. the Vanderbllts. the Astor. and other great financial units. Is as potential a politician, eitner in siaie, municipal or national politics, as one may discern upon the horlson of worldly affairs. When the chairman pf the Jockey club financed Judge Alton Parker's presi dential campaign we caught a glimpse of his hand. In the main he la the fore most 'silent politician" In the country trjay. Though unheard he Is none the ess effective. By the power of his Influence and money, August Belmont controle the New York state legislature with the same volition as the man with his thumb on the electric push button operating a mesh of machinery. He won't see harm come to racing. Chaos to Follow Kls Death. When he dies, how then? At this time there Is not an Individual anywhere who can gain the lock hold on affairs at Albany, New York, possessed by Mr. Belmont. Chaos is sure to follow the moment the lines of control fall from his hands. When will that be? Well. Mr. Bel mont Is s man of 64 years of age. His father lived to a ripe age, and the son Is in fine health todsy. I should say raring is a surety In the state of New York for the next 10 years. Unless a Napoleon arises In the meantime, the sport is doomed in 1918. for public sen timent is against It Just now the Bel mont administration is endeavoring to divorce bookmaklng and all sorts of gambling from the actual conduct of the several meetings, a line of action in spired from the experiences of Eng lish turf builders. There betting oc curs, of course, but Tattersals Is with out any connection with the race courses. Racing in England Is an Insti tution and is teday legally Invulnerable, Mr. Belmont alms for the same condi tion in thla country. Sutler vs. Jockey Club. In the meantime, the trouble between the Jockey club and "Jim" Butler Is holding the stage. Out at the town of Yonkers, New York. Is located the Em pire City track, built bv the late W. H. Clark at a cost of H75.600 over 10 years ago. It is a fast course, but a grand stand which opens out Into the after noon sun glare and totally Inadequate transportation caused the loss of thou- i sands of dollar when meetings were held there.

HIGH-MINDED APPEAL FOR MOTHERS OF MEN y -A .-30a)ttt;iWlttil Hiram Carrier Plgeoni Which Made a Successful Flight From Oakland, Cali fornia, to Portland. A successful attempt to fly carrier pigeons from Oakland. California, and Portland, has been put through by E. H. Bauer, a member of the Oregon Homing club. The air line distance between the two cities is 516 miles and the feat will be recognised as a remarkable one when it Is known that the Oakland Homing club tried to maje the flight for 20 years and during that time succeeded In getting only one bird through. Two years ago a pigeon belonging to Dr. Kempe made the trip from Portland to Oakland In 11 days and the flight was hailed as a notable feat in pigeon fly ing. A few days ago two birds belong ing to E. H. Bauer of 1247 Williams avenue made the sam flight in the op- Koslte direction In less than two and one alf days 67 hours and 24 minutes, to be exact l ' Ti e birds were shipped to Oakland by express and were liberated on Saturday moinln. July 27. at 6:06 o'clock. They arrived home at 2:29 p. m. Monday. A havy fog swept over the bay region 20 minutes after the birds were liber ated and they were heavily rand leaped by this fact. Nevertheless, thev found their wny home In a remarkably short time.

With a covetous eye he has beheld the golden harvest the eight courses within the Jockey club circuit are an nually grinding out. Naturally the Jockey club "trust" has opposed Butler shoving a finger Into the pie but after three years of litigation the courts In structed the state racing commission to extend the Butler course a license to race for 40 days. This was done, the state racing commission, which is really a Jockey club creation, meanwhile, ap pealing the : 1 decision to a higher court. At the same time the Jockey club says it will not recognize the Em pire City track, which means that every body, horse owner, official. Jockey, et al.. will be "outlawed" In case they par ticipate In the meeting Butler declares He will run at JSmpire Ulty commenc ing on August 6. Many experts say Butier win not attempt to run in the face of the Jockey club "outlaw" rule and that the hoofbeat of a thoroughbred at Yonkers will not be heard until next year.

Oregon's famous sprinter, may go to Jamestown, not as Multno tnnh'a renreaentatlve but as th univer sity's, according to a plan which Is be ing worked up here by the business men of this city. Over S300 has already heen mlaed in two. days' work, and there seems no doubt that another $200, enough to send Hayward and Kelly, will be raised within a few days. There Is a question as to whether Kelly will accept the clubs offer or the mer chants', but the opinion prevails among Kelly's associates that he will take up the local men's proposal. Kelly is working out on the Univer sity track under the direction of Hay ward, and should be In fine condition when he leaves August 22 to enter the races during September at Jamestown. The Multnomah club swimming team yesterday won the medals donated by D. C. Freeman In the annual relay swim ming race held at the Oaks. Although but two teams contested, the race was an exciting one and until the. final relay the result was In doubt. The crucial relay was between Charles 8. Townsend, probably the strongest swimmer on the Oaks team, and W. L. Murray Jr., the 16-year-old son of W. L. Murray, swimming instructor of the Multnomah club. Young Murray swam a great race. By increasing the lead over Townsend he thereby insured the victory to the Multnomah club. Townsend started 60 feet behind, but he swam desperately for the first half of the relay, and finished it 10 feet be hind. Then Murray used a "trudge" stroke to the middle of the river, by which means he pulled away from Townsend. Murray then swam with a breast stroke for a short distance, and finished with the "trudge" stroke. At the end he led by 76 yards, the time of the relay being 14 Yi minutes. Townsend was so exhausted at the finish that he had to be lifted from the water. Each team was made up of four swimmers. Each member had to swim across the river at the Oaks to the Ful ton side, around the flag, and back to the starting place. The entire distance Is 860 yards, a little short of half a mile. TUie total time made by the win ning team was 68 minutes. F. F. Korell, the first swimmer for the Multnomah club, finished with a 60-yard lead on his opponent, which Warn of the Oaks closed to within 50 feet. On account of the large lead Mur ray secured over Townsend. Dent, the last swimmer for the Multnomah club. was close to the middle of the river when Byrne of the Oaks got started. Bvrne became discouraged ana man i finish the race. The Multnomah team, in the order of their swimming, was composed of K. F. Korell, H. L. Goetz, W. L. Murray Jr.. and vyvyan Dent. Those who swam for the Oaks were O. Skadsmo, H. G. Warn, Charles 8. Townsend, and J. J. Byrne. ta.cn memner or tne victorious ream received a silver medal, adorned by a gold wreath, awarded by D. C.

Schwengers of this city and Joe Tyler of Seattle, the holder, resulted In the victory of the former by 3 sets to 1. Tyler, although at times Showing- great flashes of his old form, was distinctly off color, being greatly bothered by the high wind blowing. His opponent played a steady game, never throwing away a chance, while the Seattle ex ponent. In endeavoring to kill the ral lies, lost ace for ace. In the third set Tyler was at his best and gave a brilliant display. In his service game he was Irresistible and It looked as if the challenge round was turning In his favor.

AUTO CLUB MEMBERS GO ON .MOUNTAIN RUN A communication In The Journal of July 27, slgnod Rosay. in regard to women suffrage, has called forth sev eral communications. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway writes aa follows: "Portland, Or.. Aug. 1. To the Edi tor of The Journal How long, O, Lord, how long are the disfranchised mothers of men to be subjected to the sons of women, to the ribald Insults of a voter like Mr. Rosay T "Of course we all know that Mr. Rosay Is no lady; for no self-respecting woman would accuse the wUe and womanly woman, whose children arise and call them blessed, and whose hus bands are known In the sates when they sit among the rulers of the land of "gat ting up on their hind legs," whatever that may mean, "to fight men to a fin ish." , . "But the fact that he Is not a lady does not excuse his coarse and unwar ranted attack upon the mothers of men who, wholly unarmed, are carrying Into the enemy's camp their only weapon a flag of truce. "No civilised nation will stand by In Idleness while an armed natfcm brutally beats another that Is wholly unarmed, and we believe there Is patriotism enough among ballot-armed Oregon men to compel fair play for their wives and mothers in the battle of ballots that awaits them next June, even If there were no other motive to govern them than the rules of civilised warfare. "We do not claim that all good men are, as yet, sufficiently enlightened to measure up to this honorable standard, though they are progressing rapidly toward a majority, and will eventually reach it. But we do know that any man who has no more sense of de cency that to parade his gender as his voting certificate and hurl it as a stumbling block in the paths of the mothers of men who are seeking the ballot for the same reasons their fore fathers and foremothers roughed It, has for his allies all the worst ele ments of both sexes. "That such men and such women were not better born and better bred than to engage in such business Is living evidence that their home environment was no better than that of the 'seven little boyp' Mr. Rosay saw 'smoking cigarettes.' "It is quite possible that the mothers of these boys were at work somewhere, away from home, earning the means to keep the home, while the husbands and fathers were "resting" In tho plaza. Storing up energy to use In voting with Mr. Roeay at the next June election. "It Is not the fault of equal suffrage but the lack of It that drives mothers away from home to earn a livelihood. Nor is it wholly the fault of men, but of conditions which are no longer such as to furnish means for the majority of women to earn a living at the pro- WHO WROTE THIS WONDERFUL, MYSTERIOUS BOOK?

I Another vehement protest agAtnst "Rosay's" letter is voiced by J. A. Hunt of Hood River, who writes as follows: "if the correspondent of a recent ar ticle of The Journal who writes over the signature of Rosay does not advance a better argument In support of her anti-suffrage proclivities, she had better leave the work for others more capable. The effusion proves a weakness that Is clearly apparent to even a superficial mind. She Is evidently chasing phan toms of her own Imaginations. "The writer ventures to say children and homes are far more liableito be neg lected by fashionable mothers who do not care to vote but who do care to reg ularly attend dress parties, operas, the atres and are devoted to light reading matter. But then, of course, anything for an argument. To be charitable in the premises she Is largely excusable, ror It is dirncult to rinti substantial rea sons why women snould not vote.

Several started In the morning In order .that they might have time to fish for trout on their way. The rest left Portland early In the after noon. The automobillsts spent the night at Welches and will return to Portland this evening. Welches Is situated on the road to Mount HoocJ, about 60 miles from Port land. It is 1.600 feet above the sea level. The roads leading there are for the most part good, although In a few ? laces the ascent is quite steep. The rip can be made from Portland In an automobile In about five hours.

Sneak thieves thrive about the great railroad stations of the county by standing around and watching for a traveler to put down his handbag, and while he Is otherwise occupied Mr. Thief walks ud In an unconcerned manner and picks up 'the bag. If he can get about 16 seconds start his effort la crowned with success, for he mingles with the crowd and then works his way to the street. By a recent invention It Is proposed WHISTLING ALARM ON THE HAND BAG. to Interfere with auch operations as this by attaching a thief alarm to the bag ao that a warning la given as soon as it is picked up. This has been done by attaching a plate to the bottom In a slightly bulging condition, the plate sufficiently yielding to be depressed under the weight of the bag. A little whistle is attached to the plate so that when the bag la quickly lifted the plate will resume Its normal position, and la doing so will emit a whistling sound loud enough to warn the owner that the bag is being- carried off, either by mis take or accident. The plate Is covered with leather of the same character as the- bag, so that the presence of the devloe is net at all obtrusive. Professor Frederick T.

Professor Mclntyre says that he can tell by examining the specimens of handwriting he receives Just what the one who penned them Is best fitted for In life; what the writer's strong and1 weak characteristics are. and whether the writer will succeed In using to ad vantage the many powerful systems of personal Influence and healing aescriDed In the book.
