Gomes has the backing of powerful

When the games were resumed to

other teams combined. John Paul
Jones, the great Cornell runner, who
was expected to prove a tower of
strength to the Tankees, Is out of the

that if he didn't let up for a brief
period he would break down, and he was
reluctantly forced to follow their ad

concerned there Is only one hope In

Any accident to this great athlete, the
Americans agreed, probably would be

Superintendent for Wakefield
First Witness in Suit to
Collect $408,000.
HV W. Hawley of Seattle," general
superintendent, for Robert Wakefield &
Co. on the Mount Tabor reservoirs, was
the first witness In the suit brought by
tho company against the city to collect
$408,000 for the work. Hawley began
his testimony this morning, relating
how the work waa carried on during the
latter part of 1909 and throughout 191.0.
The witness told how the company
was delayed by reason of the city not
clearing the grounds between reservoirs
Nos. 5 and 6. He said that property
between the two water pits had not been
condemned, and the contractor could
not dump the dirt from No. 5 until this
house was moved. This condition of af
fairs necessltsted a delay of three
months, he said.
Another delay was due to change in
plans made by the city, testified Haw
ley, In reservoir No. 6. The second set
of plans required the reservoir to be
excavated six feet deeper than orig
inally planned upon, which bids were
submitted. Another delay in the work
was due to delays i of the city in re
ceiving pipe. Witness also testified that
plans for constructing a oondult between
thO two reservoirs necessitated another
delay on the part of Wakefield & Co.
Since the city stopped the dumping
of dirt between the two reservoirs the
contractor had to build a sluicing plant
to run the excavated dirt out of the
way. This plant cost 325,000, he said.
He explained that steam shovels were
originally planned with which to do this
work and the use of these, if allowed
by the city, and other conditions would
have been more economical and expedi
tious. His cross examination began shortly
before noon by Assistant City Attorney
Tomllnson, who brought admissions
from the witness that no objections or
official protests were made to the city
by the contractor of things of which are
not complained.
Attorney Mannlx directed the exam
ination of the witness. A city Inspector
from the engineer's office smiled at
several points in the witness' testi
mony, finally bringing a request from
Attorney Mannlx that the city's wlt
n esses were bothering the man in tho
witness chair. "If they want to laugh,"
scored the attorney, 'let them go down
town to a 10 cent theatre, where they
can laugh all day-"
"I saw Wakefield smile a moment
ago," replied Assistant City Attorney
Tomllnson. Hawley declared the laugh
ing did not affect him, whereupon the
court directed the case to continue. The
company is composed of Robert Wake
field, George Simons, Charles Swlgert
and II. C. Campbell. Judge Cleland,
former member' of the local bench. I
hearing the matter as a referee, report
ing his findings to the presiding judge.
His salary will be $3000, of which half
is paid by the ctty and half by the
company. It is claimed the case will
take six weeks.

Mrs. .Frances Squire Potter
v. Addresses Audience at '
, . Jaylor St." Church. .
To a good slxed' audience at Taylor
Street M. E. church last night Mrs.
Frances Squire Potter, writer, speaker
and auffVaa worker of note, gave an
Interesting lecture on "The American
Mother and the American Son." Mrs.
Potter is a fluent speaker, and the adJ
dresa was scholarly. Dr. Luther H,
Dyott of the First Congregational
church Introduced Mrs. Potter with a
few words. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans pre
sided. Mrs. Potter distinguished women by
dividing them Into three classes, Tho
women who are compelled to work she
characterised as the women of the
morning. These women, she said, al
most invariably have Meals for their
children which they, try to carry out.
The forces which make it necessary for
them to work "he declared top often
forced their sons to take upon' them
selves the task of aiding An the pro
vision for family necessities, and thus
defeated the enda desired."
Tho second class she distinguished as
the women of the homes, and these she
said were ablo to carry out their Ideals,
but need practical education along the
lines of gaining an understanding of
their sons. These she called the women
of the noon.
The third class she characterized as
tho women of the night. These, she de
clared, had no place among the mothers.
They are the women of the underworld,
who are attracted more by the glare of
the night lights than by the peace of
the home according to Mrs. Potter.
"Our ago is not only mechanical, but
also spiritual," she said. "The search
for the spiritual forces which move the
world and the inhabitants has never
been so strong nor so carefully studied.
Many sects are seeking for that spirit
of the age, and when It Is found It will
contain an expression of a new religion.
The problem which Is being fought out
at present Is how to Inculcate spiritu
ality into the materialistic life of today.
"The age Is mechanical to a great de
gree. All things are spoken or as me
chanical. We hear of political, social
and Industrial machinery. Instead of
great Individuals, we now have great or
ganizations. Mn at present are run
ning the machinery, but the women are
beginning to take their places in its
mastery. Not only men, but women
have their industrial organizations, and
these organizations are the machines
through which democracy declares It
self." FOUR WOUNDED MEN
ON ROAD TO KECOVERY
Charles Celestlno, who was shot yes
terday by Susie Agnes Owens, a di
vorced woman, who accuses the man of
wrecking her life and falling to keep
his promise to marry her, is reported
to be resting easy this morning at St.
Vincent's hospital. No complaint has
yet been filed against the woman who
did the shooting, and who is confined
at the county jail. She is reported to
be on the verge of a nervous collapse,
following the all night quarrel with her
victim.
Herman P. Emery, the stage manager
at Pantages, who was shot Tuesday by
a maniac, continues to Improve, and it
is believed his recovery Is now only a
matter of time.
Sergeant E. S. Peachin, who has been
in St. Vincent's hospital for some time
as the result of a gunshot wound In
flicted by his wife, has so far recovered
that he left the hospital yesterday and
went to his home. The man lg still

It Is believed that he will recover his
