Barred From Park. '
" An attemut of . the baseball Uams at
tfiM playgrounds in Sellwood Park to
commercialise their game 'met with no
favor . thia morning, before ' th park
board. Several members of the leading
team proposed to ask the park, board
to erect a grandstand, and to allow them
to charge an admission fee, part of
which would go to the city. The man
ager of the team had planned to pre
sent the matter ;to the board,: but ne
waa unable to be present. It will be
presented later, ... ' ; , .
The plan does not meet the approv
al of Superintendent Mische. who said
In- hla report: I beg to suggest that
such an arrangement '.commercializes
the publlo recreation work, and there
fore is , not warranted as1 a city under
taking. To ' require or by suaalon re
ceive a fee would tend to set up clasa
distinction,' to restrict the best uses of
of the grounds as a whole, and the re
striction fall? heaviest n -the vef yc-nea
whose welfare is best fostered by a
rree yor ail policy. ; .. r
t ra Would Demoralise Sport. .
"Moreover, the entrance fee, profes
sionalizes, the game, and as such, tha
position of the city would be one of
subsidising an undertaking which should
bo carried on as a private undertaking.
Distinction should "be made between
conducting . commercial undertaking.
having play features, and conducting
forms of play for the wholesome and
benef iblal effects it has upon those who
engage. in It. It is not a proper enter
prise conducted for profit, and further
more It would ignore the religious phase
of the day., For these reasons it la
unwise to undertake it, and I recom
mend that no agreement whereby a Xee
for ball playing on any park property
be made. .'.' :-

More Protection for '

In a letter to the Chamber of Com
merce this morning Mayor Simon state
that he is heartily In sympathy with, tha
movement for a second fire boat and
that it will eventually be secured, "but
that he does hot see at present where
the money required for its maintenance
)s to come from. ; -
Tile letter, is in answer to' one written
by 'Assistant - Secretary M. , Mosessohn
upon lnstructlona from the board of
trijsUes at the meeting held" Tuesday,
reading as follows: , v
"In view f the recent conflagration
on tlje water front and elsewhere In ihe
city - of Portland, the trustees of the
cnamber or Commerce, at a meeting
held this - morning, instructed me to
fwrite to you and ask that some action
be taken towards the acquisition of an
other nre boat for this city.
'The trustees of the chamber, and om
of the heaviest business interests in this
city are very anxious that tt is abso
lutely essential for better - protection
against fire." ,
Mayor Simon, in his answer, savs: r
'I beg to say , this matter has had
most serious consideration at -the handH
of the fire committee of the executive
board and the mayor, and I can say to
you that it is contemplated at an early
date to provide the additional flreboat
In this connection I ,beg to call aten
tlon to the fact which may not be clear
ly understood, that In addition to the
coat of acquiring the addltonal flre
boat; the maintenance and operation-will
entail an expenditure Jof ; about $35,000
per annum. : . . ..
'The city of Portland has recently
been subjected to large expenditures
which were not anticipated at the begin
ning of he year, ' You know of course
that the teamsters' strike, increase of
salaries in various departments and
other matters, have drawn heavily upon
our resources and it is imperative for
the city authorities to ascertain where
the revenues are-to be derived from to
make the large expenditures that we are
called upon to incur, before doing so."

Gerbrick Who. When Drunk,
Said He Wrecked Train
Regrets Loquaciousness.
"Whiskey and fast women have
brought me where I am now. I came
from a r'od family in QMcago and my
brother-m-law Is postmaster at Toledo, t
Ohio I. expect to serve a few years on :
account of this ' trouble. J because ' I
talked too much when I was drinking.
But I am not guilty of wrecking the
train, and will try to show an alibi. I
will admit, though, I know something
about it." . i
This, was the 'statement made in the
county Jail today by Thomas M. Oer-
brick, 'the sailor arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Frank Beatty a few nights ago
after he'" heard the tar boasting of his
knowledge of a wreck on the Santa Fa "
near Fowler, Colo., .seven years ago.
Although Gerbrick has spent hours
under cross fire from officers and Santa
Fe men, he has hot given much satis
factory Information, Today, he said he.,,
would make no more statements about
the wreck while he la in Oregon. ,
Asked if he would tell when he is .
taken back to Colorado, he said he in
tended to make the best of it and say
no more than he has to. He does not
know Just how much he revealed while
he was, under the influence of liquor,
and he evidently believes the officers
will not have enough evidence to make
a etrong case. Beatty ls confident he
captured the right .man, and Gerbrick
Will be given another chance to tell
what he knows when he is confronted
by officers from Colorado. They will
arrive tonight or tomorrow. - . v
i ' Gerbrick nays he does not know CaU
vln Cook,-a farmer from Colorado who
identified him yesterday as a man who ,
came to Cook's house for something te ",
eat soons after the wreck. Cook, lived ,
near the scene ol the catastrophe and
says he went with Gerbrick to the,
wreck, the latter slipping away after
asking what would be done to him If
he were arrested for It M
The penalty for train wrecking In
Colorado is death or Mfe Imprisonment.
In the Fowler wreck the engineer was
killed and nearly 20 passenger Injured.
Gerbrick explains . Ills . presence In
Portland Is caused by missing his train
at Ashland while he was with about 40
sailors on the -way from Mare Island
to Bremerton. He says he left, the .
train to. escape being beaten up by
other sailors, , who were drinking. 'He ,
reported to the chief of police In Ash
lsnd and transportation was sent him to'
go on to Bremerton, i At Portland he
had a wait between trains,' again began
drinking and became so loquacious'
about what he knew that he fell Into the
hands of Beatty. - , . , , .
