nearest Competitor from the Mount Ta
bor aohool by one minute and five sec

1 hour 23 minutes and 26 seconds. This
is 1 minute and 45 seconds slower than
the - record made by the same team
- last year. The Holladay team was third.
The teams lined up for the start at
Oregon City -at: 1Z:Z0,? more than an
hour later than scheduled, owing to an
accident to the Y. M. C. A. launch
-which took the ' young athletes np the
river, this morning.
The race was exciting up to the Elk
.Rock hill where the teams were run

SUBJECT OF DEBATE
31cAlIister arid Duniway Ar
gue, but McGarry Fails
i to Appear.
Before a crowded house at an open
meeting of the Federated Trades coun
cil held In Bartender's hall last night
E. S. J. McAllister and Ralph R. Duni
way debated the single tax amendment
. to the State constitution to be voted on
the June election.
Mr. McAllister opened the debate with
a viarorous defense of the land tax
theory, saying that lie was opposed to
the taxation of personal property for
the reason that among Anglo-Saxon peo
ples no system had ever been devised by
which such a tax could be Justly im
posed and collected and for the further
reason that It incites-to perjury and
fail in its purpose in that those who
are most able to bear the burden of tax
ation largely escape and those who arc
least able to pay are compelled to bear
the bulk of the tax burden. The speaker
quoted from a recent issue or tne new
York World as follows:
"The annual invitation to perjury Is
repeated this year in tne usual farcical
manner. Last year thai tentative per
sonal ' assessment was 13.492.015.682
nine tenths of this was sword 'off and
the most of the other tenth wad indis
criminately assessed and is represented
' by revenue bonds instead of taxes. The
three men who own the Dubllo fran
chises of New Tork city do not appear
on tne personal tax roil at an. xnomas
F. Ryan retains a legal residence In Vir
ginia, Antnony n. Brady in Albany .and
Auarust Belmont out on I-ionar Island.
James Stillman Is assessed for $100,-
000, alt of the .Rockefellers for less than
$8,000,000 and' J. Plerpont-Morgan for
1400,000. Andrew Carnegie Is assessed
for 15.000.000. although he owns S300.
000,000 8 per cent streel trust bonds, not
to mention otner personal property.
Mr. McAllister declared that the
amendment proposed Is a step in the
direction of single tax and would do
much to liberate labor and make it free
and possible for . the laborer to reap the
full products of bis toll.
In replying Mr. Duniway eould see no
good in the proposed amendment. He
said that It was crudely drawn and that
Its adoption ' would be disastrous. He
predicted that if it were adopted In a
few-years the men who were responni-
bie lor its carrying wouia be utterly
discredited. '' t ;, .
Other speakers were H. W. Stone,
' secretary or tne r. m. u. a., wno ad'
vocated nrohibition and John A. Gold
rainer, , who favored the . temperate use
of Intoxicants. Mr. Stone denounced the
saloon as a law breaker and the refuge
or criminals. s
Mr. Ooldralner thought that the real
cause of Intemperance lay. in the in
dustrial system. He insisted and sought
to prove that an improvement in the
conditions of labor would be followed
bt a decrease In intemperance. -
The debate scheduled to take place
between W. 8. URen and W. R. Mo-
Garry on the '"recall" did not take
place on account of the failure or Me-
Garry to appear, nr. irRen was given
a few minutes to explain the measure.
SCARES HOLDUP MAN
WITH TOBACCO-CUTTER
An attempted holdup, ' frustrated by
the flourishing of a tobacco cutter by
tha Intended ' victim, occurred In . Guy
Connerley's grocery - store, 10,70 Cor
bet t street, yesterday morning about 11
O'clock. . .
- Mr. Connerl was standing behind
tha counter of his store when a stranger
came Into his place and asked him for
a dollar's worth of sugar. Mr. Con
ner ly weighed out the amount and the
man. after receiving, it, told . him to
'charge it, When the grocer asked Htm
to whom he should charge it, the fel
low struck him la the face with bis
. fist. " '
. OonherlyV side-stepped the full effect
of the blow and, picking up the tobacco
cutter, charged the would-be hold-up
man. The latter took to flight" Officer
Rudolph was called and he traced the
man to a saloon a few blocks away.
Here all trace was lost. - r , i

Declares It Is Probable Russian Secret Serrice Caused the

Believes Christ Was an Anarchist - "
Miss Emma Goldman, known In the
Nerr Tork. newspapers as -"the High
Priestess of Anarchy." arrived in Port
land this morning from Tacoxna, and In
the course of half, an hour's Interview
failed to make any statement more rash
than to say that it was quit probable
that the recent bomb throwing in New
York City in which the anarchist 811
versteln was killed was Instigated by
the Russian government "
The Russians, slad Miss Goldman,
are doing everything In their power to
discredit - the Russian revolutionists
throughout the world.- Bne declared
that, tha aecret asenta of the Russian
government have been trying for some
time to cast discredit upon the revolu
tionists in New Tork City, who are
powerful and aetive,-and are rendering
much support to tne roemoers ox ineir
party at home. Letters received by Miss
Goldman during her western trip from
the sisters of Sllversteln show that he
declared aa he was dvinar that he did
not know who threw the bomb, and it U
generally believed by tne New xorx an
archists that Russian agents threw it
to discredit the Russians In this coun-

'' Miss' Goldman does not look danger
ous.v She is rather, smaller than the
average American woman. Her balr is
black, and her eyes are large and gray
and earnest looking. -Her lips are mere
ly a narrow line, but her mouth is the
most noticeable feature in the face
She is entirely emancipated as regards
her figure it would be impossible to
Imagine Miss Goldman wearing corsets
and Cuban heels. , Her black dress is
merely a covering for her body, leaving
the throat oollarless and free.
She looks you in the eye ai)d prac
tically tells you that tha kingdom of
God is -Within you. Egoist to the point
where she calmly breathes "My truth Is
the truth," she yefcdoes not insist upon
?our agreeing with her. - She leaves one
o do aa he likes, while she pursues her
way preaching the doctrine of the crimi
nality of government and the wicked
ness of force. Apparently oblivious to the
things of life that usually make for
happiness, she speaks and acts as though
she had but one set of faculties, and
that those were sensitive solely to the
influence of revolution . and revolt
against the established order of things.
It was impossible to think, while she
talked, that Mis Goldman knew that
the sun was shining, that the air was
clear and sparkling and that through
the ' open window of the very room In
which she was .sitting came the frag
rance and the glad notes of spring.

rather careful study of economic con

When she was asked if she thought

they undoubtedly would.
"It has been found everywhere that as

Europe. The oppressive governments
are tne ones tnat create opposition ana

the people of those - countries enjoy a
much greater amount of personal liberty

tnat although she had not paid particu

"He la ready to tackle anything and

(Special fMapaMa to Tbe Joarsal)
Fairbanks, Alaska, May 13. On appll ,
cation of JohnETBallarae ot Seattle.
Judge Silas Reld of the federal court
Thursday placed the Alaska ; Central
railroad In tha bands of a receiver and
appointed John F. Goodwin of Fair
banks aa receiver. ' 1 'r-f ..
Tbe action wreats the property from
control of the Frost-Osborn interests,
whom Ballalne has been -fighting for
more than a year. - Mr. Goodwin immedt- .
ately qualified, giving a bond of 3100,
000, and took posweanion of the property
at Seward by telegraphic order to the
deputy United States marshal at that
place. ; " .
B&llaihe's complaint, covering 40 type
written pages, was cabled from Seattle
at an expense of $3,000, and la approved
by interests representing more ' than
$3,000,000 of Alaaka Central bonds and a
large amount of stock.
Among the Interests that appeared in
support of Ballalne are - the Sovereien
Bank of Canada, the Central Trust com
pany of Illinois, at Chicago', J. P. Mor-
fan Co. of New York; the Dickermait
nveatment company of St. Paul; the
General El oc trio , company and many
others.
Wlokeraham ta Cms,
Former Judge James Wlckersham rep
resented Ballalne and the other plain
tiffs. The complaint is one ot the most
sensational ever filed in an Alaska
court. In it Ballalne avers that he owns
1360,000 of railway preferred stock and
joint contractual interests in 14,000,000
of common stock. . ..- . ? .. -.
Ballalne organised the railway com
pany in 1902. In 1803 the company
filed a trust deed with , the Central
Trust company of Illinois, authorising
a total bond Issue for 330,000.000, but
rpecially provided that the amount is
sued nhould not exceed $35,000 a mile
for any one mile, as actually built. In
default of Interest payment on the bond
after six months It authorised the trus
tee to declare all bond due and payable
and to takeposseslon of the property.
In 1804 the railway company con
tracted with the Tanana Construction
company, owned by Ballalne, - to con
struct and equip the railroad for $36,000
a mil in bonds of the railroad under
the central deed and the same amount
of stock On December 2, 1904. after .
the construction company, owned by
Ballalne, had built and - equipped tha
first 10 miles, A C Frost of Chicago
and H. C Osborne of Toronto, person
ally entered Into a irrltten contract
with Ballalne and his associates by
which, ' among other considerations.
Frost and Osborne undertook to finance
and build the entire road to the Tanana
river and agreed unconditionally to con
tinue the construction. " 4
To Build lag KUes. -ir"
They agreed unconditionally and in
any event to build and equip the road
to Kenllc 152 miles north of Seward,
and agreed absolutely not to Increase
the bends or stock each above $36,000
par value a mile, which Ballalne re
quired as a special protection to all
stockholders and bondholders . and In
fairness to the -ubllc They agreed fur
ther to pay Ballalne and his associate!
a percentage of the common stock of
the railroad - per- mile as constructed
mounting in the aggregate to f 4,000,
000 par vajue.
Ballalne and his associates thereupon,
transferred to Frost and Osborne all
stock of the construction company ami
thereby control of the railway com
pany, Includinar: the railway stock and,
bonds theretofore earned by the con
struction company. Frost and Osborhe.
it la . alleged, have Violated all these) :
agreements, have failed to perform it.

trustors of both companies and nreal-
dent and vice-president of the railway
company and . still are such officers.
