Johnson and Meadows Expected to
! Meet in Pitchers Duel
! ; Wednesday
j PITTSBURGH. Oct. 5. (By As
sociated Press.) Back in the
baseball sun after 16 years, Pitts
burgh's f andom stirred itself today
to a feverish pitch of excitement
as the Pirates, National league
champions, prepared to meet the
invasion - of Washington in the
first world's series game Wednes
day. The threatening confidence of
this irate's den, however, reemed
to hold no terrors for Bucky Har
ris and hto band of Senators. They
arrived shortly after 6 o'clock to
night and went to their quarters
in a secluded apartment to refit in
preparation for a final tuning up
tomorrow on Forbes field, scene
of the first two conflicts of the
season.
Harris announced Waiter John
son would pitch the opening game
and that he would have the team's
full strength' on the field at the
etart. thus belying definitely the
prospect that the Senators might
be handicapped by disabilities
which have hit Harris himself.
Roger pecklnpaugh, veteran short
stop, and Stanley Coveleskie, right
handed pitching veteran who is
counted upon to share the twirl
ing burden with Johnson.
Coveleskie will take the mound
for the second game, Harris Inti
mated, i
While Harris and his men are
confident they! will successfully de
fend their championship crown,
the 2 S year old pilot of the Sen
ators does not underestimate his
rivals. " ! - " ' .
Harris surprised listeners with
the assertion that he banks upon
Dutch Reuther, seasoned south-
paw, to snare; tne.mouna Duraen
with Johnson and Coveleskie in
pite of the general belief that the
Pirates are "sure death" against
portsiders. i
The arrival : of the Senators and
disclosure of their opening plans
of battle followed a brisk workout
for- the Pirates, who in new uni
forms went' through st sparkling
drill under the watchful eye of
Manager Bill 'McKechnie; MeKech-
nie, keen and nervous as he plans
for the fulfillment of ht3 greatest
ambition,- was not as - Outsnoken
as Harris although he indicated
that Dee Meadows, 31 year old be
spectacled righthander, .will ; twirl
the opening game. I
"Meadows Is my logical choice,;
McKechnie admitted. "He is in
good condition and the most ex
perienced of !my best bets, j But
the weather conditions Wednes
day will have something to do with
my final choice."
The Pirate; manager intimated
that Meadows will draw the as
signment if the prediction of clear
and warm weather is fulfilled. If
it is overcast!, however, Vic Aid-
ridge another seasoned right band
er obtained from the Chicago Cubs
this year, may be the opening
selection. - !
McKechnie ; settled definitely.
however, the. only other' mooted
o.icetion about his lineup by as
sarting Eddie Moore would be at
second base and George Grantham
at first, in preference to Stuffy
Mclnnis, veteran who is entering
his sixth series.

RED CROSS HOLDS MEEH3G
SPOKANE, Oct. 5. (By Asso

cial fnr northern-Idaho and east

regional conference hsre this - aft

Disaster-relief was. the
main topic of discussion for the
Sanction Withheld by City
Council; Mitchell Damage
Claim Not Allowed
HOTEL OWNER PROTESTS
Too Many Noises in Vicinity of
Marion Is Contention j Rou
tine Matters Occupy
Much Time
The outetanding issues to con
front the city council in their reg-
lar meeting last night were the
Allan J. Mitchell claim for $564.90
amages against the city alleged to
have resulted - when a table, ; said
to be defective, caused the upset-1
ting of coffee on him, resulting i
in burns, and the, re-routing of the
street bwases of the Salem Btreet
railway from Seventeenth to
Eighteenth street.
The Mitcneil claim, upon the
recommendation of the park com
mittee, waa refused, upon ground
that the table in question waa In
as good condition as might be ex
pected in a park of the auto camp
sort. I It was held that if the table
had been allowed to remain on the
level, there would have been no
upretting.
The council moved to sustain
the remonstrance against chang
ing the. routing of the street busses
to Eighteenth street In place of
the present route on Seventeenth.
It was held that sufficient cause
was- not shown, why the routing
hould be cnangea. Tne issue was
at one time considered a lively one
but jat--the last meeting of the
council, when it was expected that
there would be fireworks on both
sides, little was said one way or
.another. At the meeting last
night there were no further re
marks made on the question, and
the j remonstrance went through
without discussion.
Mrs. James Linn, whose hus
band is manager of 4 the Marion
hotel, was allowed the privilege of
the r f loor ,fi.nd , remonslraleu
against what she termed the un
necessary noises in the neighbor
hood of the hotel. She claimed
that repair shops" in the district
operate until early in the morn
ing, and that the use of obsene
anguage in the alleys is audible
in the hotel at times. She also
voiced objection to the use of a
calliope to advertise a local dance
halL.Her remonstrance was refer
red to the committee on public
health and police.
tJpon Alderman - Johnson's in-
sistance that the basement of the
city hall where the city sleepers
are cared for, be heated in some
way during the winter, the matter
of heating the place was referred
to the Committee on public build

ON TO WASHINGTON !
Julius Meier, Mercantile Mgnate,
Optimistic Over. Future
Prospects
. "The flax industry means more
to the state of Oregon from a
world standpoint than any other
industry," was the declaration
made by Julius L. Meier, owner of
one ? of the largest mercantile
establishments on the Pacific
coast and a director in the new
Oregon Linen mills, in an address
before the Chamber of Commerce
at their first weekly luncheon of
the present season.
Mr. Meier declared that the
$600,000 represented In the new
mill is "only a marker in the mil
lions of dollars in flax to come."
Indeed, he predicted that "we will
live to see millions in flax." -
There is an opportunity for an
increased payroll in Oregon
through the industry, in the opin
ion of Mr. Meier, . and also an ex
cellent chance to distribute an
Oregon product throughout the
world.
According to a linen expert
from Belfast with whom he was
fpoaking, Mr. Meier said the Wil
lamette valley is on "the right
track'.' in manufacturing lower
ends such as towels and such
poods of a coarser quality.
Mr. Meier assured the Chamber
that Portland would back up the
mill by contributing her quota to
ward the financing of it. He said
he would work personally to per
suade residents of Portland to
contribute their quota, and he
asked the merchants of Salem to
lend their "moral support" to ob
taining the financial support of
Portland. He suggested that mer
chants, when ordering goods,
write Inviting those with whom
they do business to subscribe to
th,P mill.
The flax exhibit at the: fair,
through permission granted by the
ttate fair board with the sanction
cf Governor Pierce,' will be taken
to Portland, where Mr. Meier will
display it in one of his large
Show windows. Mr. ( Meier -declared
that he would do all he
could in furthering the causeof
the mill, and will help the public
ity of the industry by contributing
one of his windows for the pur
pose and by obtaining notice in
'.he Portland papers.
Governor Pierce who was also
at the luncheon, told the Chamber
that 400 tons of flax are . now
ready for scutching, and the work
vlll be started today at the Miles
linen mill. The governor de
clared this to be "the opening of
a tremendous Industry in Oregon"
even asserting that he believes
the flax industry is the biggest In
dustry that has ever been started
in this state. He declared that he
believed that plenty pf flax could
be supplied to-run the new milk
But he also advised that the farm
ers grow the flax in small fields,
as the industry is a special one,
and the farmers must be taught
the business completely.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 5. (By
Asociated Press.) Two large
northern railway systems the
Northern; Pacific and Great North
ern demanded the right to build
258 miles south from Bend to
Klamath Falls here today in an
extended ; hearing ordered by' the
Interstate commerce commission,
presided over by Charles Mahaffie,
director of the commission's bur
eau of finance.
; The proposed line would link
Oregon's two ,great producing pine
lumber centers, add enormously
to the state's output of lumber
products and help along the per
iod of the state's, greatest devel
opment now at hand, it was de
clared by railroad officials high
in the American transportation
work.
- When director Mahaffie called
the battling railroaders to order,
it was agreed to proceed directly
with the Oregon trunks application
to build i south since that line is
the proponent of a rail invasion
that is being; vigorously opposed
by the Southern Pacific company.
The Oregon trunk will call forty
witnesses. Pour were heard to
day and a fifth gave direct testi
mony and will be cross examined
tomorrow, r
Ralph Budd, president of the
Great Northern, pictured the Ore
gon trunk as a railroad lialf com
pleted that never would have been
built to Bend as an ultimate ter
minus. A relatively small invest
ment In ( further building is waa

ings, and this without injury to
any other carrier because the new
line would brjng the traffic with
it. , ! . - i -
President Budd and other wit
nesses said the Shevlin-Hixon and
petedly ksked the Northern lines
to locat their line to Klamath
Falls, sol big sawmills to be built
could be placed. v
Traffic experts said these two
industries alone would add enor
mously to the cut of Oreson pine.
They wold, not biuld mills, it was
said, unless .more than existing
line of railroad would serve them.
Comori uro o fthe Eugene-
Klamath! Falls line of the South

refused the Northern lines from
Paulina i south, although over
tures had been made with that
object, in view.. Balked of the

backers then went ahead with new
surveys that would, when followed
by a railroad line, open wp ner

Monday morning. Murray, dressy
ed in civilian clothes for the first
time since his return to the prison
on August 22, arrived at 9: 30,. ac
companied by s Deputy Warden

next to his attorney and at
the end of the table, direotly under
the judge's dias. He did not ap
pear nervous but sat looking stol
idly ahead of him. Once or twice
a faint flicker of a smile passed
ovct hie face. His mother and
father occupied seats near the rail
ing during the afternoon session.
Mrs. Murray broke down and cried
several times during the question
ing of jurors. Her son glanced ia
her direction only a few times
