THE OREGON .DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 9,1915. TWO ACCIDENTS GAVE ? SCARE TO WILLARD'S CAMP BEFORE BATTLE .-.. -"-.-'-..( Hemple Hit Him on Forearm '? and: O'Rourke Let Col- , odium Fall Into Eye. By Ed VV. Smith. Jacksonville. Fla... April" 9. It luat : developed yesterday that twice in on uay, ana migniy ciose to the light, , accidents happened t Jens Willard that came within an inch or so of the venous. - , Five days before, the contest with Jack Johnson in Havana, "Jack Hemple struck Jess -a -powerful blow on the forearm and all but put that member out of business.V J' That same time Tex O'Rourke let m. urup 01 coiioamm into w mara s eye, all but blinding him. The eye 'is still bloodshot and sore as a result of this, The injury to Willard's arm looked serious for a little while. It was a sort of stone bruise on one of the bones near the elbow Joint and it was - to relieve this that he constantly wore the rubber bandage during the rest of his training. It was painful and caused him two- or three . sleepless nights, but gradually wore off. Jess stills has the pain there but does not regard It as serious. Accident Beared Camp. Jess told about it during . the long out exciting and interesting ride up the east coast of Florida from the Key - to this place. He said the twin acci dents threw a terrible scare into the whole camp and . for a time it was feared that all of the plans might ' have to be called off. The south hasn't been stirred to such excitement, in years, they say around here, as the defeat of Jack Johnson has caused. "Whole towns of scream ing, excited people turned out at every stop and no king could have been ' given a stronger reception than Wil lard received. Travel is extremely , heavy towards the north now and as the Willard spe cial was pretty well broken here trains . In ail directions are crowded end to end. Eastern correspondents kept on up the east coast with the big white streak but those from the south and middle west (branched off. Jess got nothing short of an ova tion during the 20 minutes that the train stopped here. He had been1ry . Ing for three hours, to get a shave in his drawing room, but the interrup tions wore etf continuous that he finally gave up in disgust. - "Nobody cares how I look anyway," toe said. 'AH they want is to see me." Jess Had Confidence. Tex O'Rourke told today of Jess great confidence' in himself after the third round last Mbnday. Tex did some of. the talking in the corner dur ing the rests and had a good chance to Judge what was in Willard's mind. After Johnson had got in his big smash to the body in the seventh round, .Willard returned to his corner with a big smile. "Tex, I'm going to finish nty ring ; career without a knockdown," he said. He just gave me his last good punch and I'm still on my feet. I'll win sure now." - It was at that stage that Willard negan boxing his very best and from that time not only outhit but out boxed the champion in a good many of the spots of the battle. That Willard is considerable of a kidder was demonstrated last night. . Jim Savage, one of his sparring mates, bought a Cuban fighting cock before he left Havana, as a present for his father, who lives' in Orange, N. J., and Is a fancier of the fighting cocks. Jim had the bird stowed away in the baggage car and during the even ing Willard sneaked in and dropped an egg out of the diner into the chicken's crate. "Jim. will swear he has been cheated, when he sees that In the morning," Jess said. And Jim raised a terrible roar when he went In to feed his fighting chicken in the morning. Still Work en Films.

(Special to The Journal.) t Port Orford, Or., April . 4t ' Garrison lake, about one mile . northwest of here, ran; Into ifc the ocean -- Thursday when a t small leak In one of Ha banks developed into a IB foot wall of 0 water rushing through a chan- jjr nel 60-yards wide. 1 Later, when the surf came in, - the channel was closed again, 4fc and the lake is refilling. :.. jjt Garrison ' lake, which covers ifc ifr probably 200 acres of ground, ift often overflows, but not within the memory of white men has. jjt there been such a flood as this "jfc jjt most recent one. v time and then some plans ' wilt be made, for showing them.

Herein! lies their greatest hope of tremendous profits out of the big battle. Willard shows in Baltimore tonight and In New York Saturday night if a building can be obtained. .Cuban Senate Slaps Prexy. Havana. April 9. A direct slap at President Menocal is seen here today in tbe action last night of a Cuban senate committee in reporting favor ably a bill to prohibit prizefighting in Cuba. President Menocal attended the recent Willard-Johnson bout here, and later announced that he favored the plan of certain boxing promoters to stage a series of championship bouts in Havana. WATCHING SCOREBOARD Going into extra innings for a de cision is becoming as much of a habit as the gathering of home runs was last week. It took 11 sessions to wind up the Seals-Tiger conflict yesterday, with the Seals on the long end of a three- two i score. Bill Leard delivered .the deciding blow, hinging out a single with two on. Old Pop Dillon got into the Angel lineup yesterday, while Abstein was nursing a sore leg. He made two hits out of four times at bat, scoring a run. and had nine putouts and an assist and only one error. Malarkey was badly bumped by the Angels, and the game had been taken away from him by the sixth inning, when he was relieved. GRONDAHL STAR OF GAME Orondahl of the sophomore class team, pitched and batted his (Beat's Reed college) team to victory in the interclass game yesterday afternoon at Reed college between the sopho mores and seniors, which ended in the eighth Inning, 8-7. The seniors started the game with three runs in the first inning and two in the second because of poor- support. After squeezing in three runs in the fifth, and one in the sixth, Grondahl sent three men home by a long three bagger, in an eighth inning1 rally, and a moment later he scored on a single. Then . he shut . the seniors out in the last inning with one strikeout and he caused another to hit Into a double play. The batteries: Seniors, Sabin. catcher, and Lancefleld and Jones, pitchers; Sophs, Grondahl and Sha grin. Ir. Compton was umpire. TRAINING CAMP GAMES Brooklyn Nationals 8, Washington Americans 3.

Salem, April 7. To the Editor of The Journal I have Just read the edl torial in your paper of April 6 entitled "Obey the Law,"and I would suggest that you write another editorial on the subject "Tell the Truth." I wish to say further that If you would confine yourself to the truth in your articles on the state highway commission and engineer you would have less criticisms to make of Its members. Tou start your editorial by saying. "It is stated that the state highway commission and the newly appointed advisory board are. to meet today to select a special engineer to take charge of the highway work that was in charge of Engineer Bowlby," and you further say in the article: "The governor and state "treasurer have no right to amend the law and change the contracts so as to provide for- two engineers at $3000 per." Another Engineer Wot Considered. Now in the meeting referred to the board did not consider tbe matter of selecting another engineer, neither did it ever Intend -to, and your statement is made out of whole cloth. The - state highway commission has never even thought of selecting Mr. Lur gaard as a state highway engineer nor even as an assistant engineer, but ' T suggested to the board, . a few days ago (when ; it was ascertained that Mr. Bowlby would refuse to serve) that, in settling the dispute between the various contractors and the coun ties, either by arbitration or In the courts, wherein the state was expected to assist the counties and furnish them information, Mr. Laurgaard would be a .good man to select for this purpose. All of the members of the board concurred In this suggestion and""ftone of them had in mind the employment of Mr. Laurgaard in any other capa city. Therefore, your criticism in this article is all uncalled for. I may say further that you have had no regard whatever for the truth in the various news articles and edi torials which have been appearing in your paper during the last month, per taining to the members of the stats highway commission who voted to re move Engineer Bowlby, and all of the dope you have been dishing up about my having agreed to support a man by ' the name of; Lucius for engineer and that I was acting with the con tractors and being dictated to by Sen ator Day, etc, is absolutely false, for I have never met Mr; Lucius In my life that I know of. Senator Day never mentioned Mr. LUcius name to me up to tne time the i state highway engi neer was elected neither did I ever, at any time, consider the matter of voting for him. j ; Denies Deadlock. Further, there was never a deadlock between the governor and myself per taining to the selecting of an engineer J as you have repeatedly stated. We had no trouble whatever in coming to an agreement on the man selected. You further say In effect in youi article that the attorney general says the state highway engineer must have supervision of all work in Hood River county and other counties. Now, as a matter of fact, the state highway engineer aas ha a on the state payroll at least four other engineers all win ter and also other engineers on the payrolls of the various counties. He has delegated Engineer Elliott to look after the work In Hood River county, so the matter of electing another en gineer would not have been a serious matter with. Mr. Bowlby, for he has had about twice as many as he has needed for the ; past year, according to the judgment of the county courts P. M., 25c OWN PAGINATION QUOTING THE JOURNA ... . .. Ml 405 Washington-Street at Tenth of the counties la which he lias oper ated. . - . M. . I would, therefore, suggest that yon found your statement on facts, in tbe future;- and not continue to misrepre sent the board In its actions or inten tions, then criticise i It for what you state it is about to do. I have no objections whatever to being criticised for my official acts, but X Bo object to being continually misrepresented and criticised for things X do not do. Tours jerjr respectfully, 'THQ8. B. KAY. r. Kay Misstates "Tacts. (The Journal did not state at any time that the state highway commis sioner "thought of selecting Mr. Laurgaard as state highway engineer or as assistant engineer." The Journal did. state that the board, at Mr. Kay's suggestion, was considering the ap pointment of Laurgaard as a "special" engineer to settle the disputes with contractors. This Mr. Kay admits. Moreover the fact is. fully established by the reports of the meeting of tbe board on April 2, published in the Ore gonian, the Telegram and other pa pets. Mr. Kay did not give up the idea of employing a "special" engi neer to do work properly belonging to the state highway engineer until ad vised by the attorney general that the plan was- illegal. A Salem dispatch published in the Oregonian of April 3, (page 14), con tained the following statement: : "Major Bowlby having declined an offer of the board to complete the work in Hood River county and make settlements for work started by him in Jackson, Columbia and Clatsop counties, State Treasurer Kay sug gested that O. Laurgaard, project en gineer of the Tumalo irrigation sec i FFiCiEMCY IS OUR MOTTO We know no half-way methods.

Governor, Withy combe , said the suggestion was a good one, and Mr. Laurgaard undoubtedly will be offered the place.". -UijJJ'Z-: I Mr.- Kay says that "Senator Day never mentioned Mr. Lucius name to me up to the time the state highway engineer was elected." Senator Day strove hard to Induce Governor Withy comb' to vote for Lucius and even made a special trip to Salem for that purpose. Apparently he did not think it necessary to see Mr. Kay. Ji-was a matter of common gossip in political rlrcle and among the contractors that if Che governor consented to .the ap pointment of Lucius there Would be no opposition from the state treasurer. 4 Furthermore Mr, Kay was on record in ' repeated statements, published In the Oregonian as well as The Journal, that he would vote for any man for highway engineer who was satisfac tory to Governor Withycombe. ; Kay's vote was delivered in advance. Mr. Kay denies that he was "acting with the contractors." Without Mr. Kay's active assistance the contractors would not have succeeded in ousting Major Bowlby. - . i I Mr. Kay's letter was received and put in type yesterday, but as It had -come too - late for use in the valley edition - of .
