Seattle, Nov. 26. The University of
Washington football team won the
northwestern Intercollegiate cham
pionship and the Barrett silver cup
here yesterday by defeating the Uni
versity of Oregon 20 to 6.
Washington's victory was duo
largely to the use of the forward
pass, which was used frequently. The
Oregon team depended upon old style
football, making several gains by end
runs. The work of Warren Grimm,
Washington's left end, was particular
ly spectacular. He scored two touch
downs on forward passes.
Oregon succeeded In crossing the
Washington gonl line but once. In
the first half after Washington had
scored a tou-hdowi and kicked goal,
the visitors scored on a wide quarter
back run with the goal giv
ing them the only points they
made in this half, making the
score 14 to 6. In the second half the
Washington team succeeded In hold
ing the heavy Oregon 1 no and suc
cessfully passed the ball over the Ore
gon goal line for another touchdown
and goal.
Although there was a ' hard rain
early In the day the field was In good
shape, and the game was witnessed
by the largest crowd that ever at
tended a football game In Seattlle:

Walla Walla. Nov. 26. When It
looked as though all hope of Whit
man's scoring was past and even the
most enthusiastic Whitman rooter
had given up, Vincent Rorloske, enp
taln and right half back for the Mis
sionaries, threw the 2000 spectators
at the anntinl Thanksgiving day
game between Whitman and Wash
ington Stale college yesterday after
noon Into a frenzy of Joy when he
picked up the ball on n funjhlo and
ran 95 yards for a touchdown. The
score was made but two minutes and
ten seconds before the call of time In
the last half. The final score was 23
to 6 In favor of Pullman. Before
Rorbvsko had t'jno to take part In
nnother piny the referee's whistle
sounded ending the game, nnd the
fiiotlinll rareer of this invincible grid
iron gladiator. A more fitting cli
max to his four years of college foot
ball could nut have been planned.
Outweighed SO pounds to the man.

first half. The second half was an

Marquette was playing constantly in
Notre Dame's territory, but near tho
end of the half Notre Dame man
aged to hold most of the play in Mar

changes In th line were made near
the close, but the game was practi

Balfour and Roseberry Rise in
House of Lords to Defend

I'.nlfotir Declared That If House Wins
Its Victory It' Is Hut Temporary. If

People Hold Demonstrations In
Square.
London, Nov. 26. "If you win a
victory It will be only a temporary
one; if you lose, you have prejudiced
the position, power and usefulness of
the house of lords, which I believe
every one of you honors and desires
to serve heartily as I do myself."
In this homely, candid fashion, Lord
linlfour of Burleigh, last night told
members of the house of lords his op.
inion of the course they are pursuing
with regard to the budget. He has
none of the graces of oratory which
Lord Roseberry possesses, but his
plain manner in not without effect,
and his speech was the real event ot
yesterday's sitting of the upper cham
ber. It probably will have even greater
influence than that of Lord Rose
bury, because Roseberry no longer
holds the confidence of any party.
The bishop of Herford, who Inter
vened later in the debate, said that,
while he respected the archbishop of
Cantorberry's desire that the prelates
abi-tain from voting -on the measure,
be claimed the right to tlje exercise
of 'independent Judgment. If the blah
ops bad any function to 'perform It
whs to speak for the multitudinous
poor, he paid.
Therefore, he supported the budget,
which was a social welfare budget,
"iv.sed on sound finance. He was con.
vinocd, he declared, that the country's
answer to an appeal to the , ballot
would be in clear English that never
-: ,rtn shall the" fundamental liberties
of the people be endangered by a pri
vileged cla-s. He wished the budget
might be passed as a protection
against the rapidly growing spirit of
revolt among the democracy, which
mleht become dangerous.
Many other peers spoke along ordi
nary party lines. The debate was nd
Jeurned until Monday, when Viscount
Morley, Lord Curzon and Lord Roth
schild are expected to speak.
Humors were current Inst night that
conservative leaders, seeing the dam
aging effect that the speeches of Lords
Cromer. Roseberry and Balfour are1
likely to have on the - conservative
cause In an election, are reconsider
ing their position with regard to the
budget. But the best information in
dicates that Lord Lnnsdowno's reso
lution against the adoption of the
budget will go to a division nnd be
carried by an enormous majorky.
A great pro-budget demonstration
took place last night in parliament
square. Six thousand persons gath
ered, san;; political songs and cheered
for David Lloyd George, chancellor of
do excecquer. Fifteen hundred police
f'nally cleared the square. The dem
onstrations probably will be repeated
on a larcer scale Monday nnd Tins
day. Lord Palfonr said a referendum was
impossible as a matter of practice, and
that he also believed til motion pr
I oved Vv T.or.t Tinsdowne was unwise.
I(o rs'Ttod t'vt there never was a
tmio v-ien ;i otron nnd conservative
M'cor 1 chamber wi mr necessary,
and be considered It impolitic to mix
tho question of the defense of that
chamber with the taxation of food.
Lord Bnlfonr warned the lords that
they- were walking Into n trap set by
their opponents nnd thnt the sti ad
vocated by Lord Lnnsdowne was false
alike to the interests of the country
innd to the houe of lords.

(Staff Correspondence.)
Umatilla, Ore., Nov. 26. That one
of the most dastardly murders in the
history of this region has been com
mitted with Charles Mickels, sup
posedly of Pilot Rock as the victim,
13 evidenced by discoveries Just made.
The body of the unfortunate victim
was found near the O. R. & N. tracks(
five niiles east of this place yesterday
and the evidence, points conclusively
to a brutal murder.
While riding the range for J. B.
Switzler, Earl Shaw came across the
body of the dead man. He at once
roue to Umatilla and word was Im
mediately sent to Sheriff Taylor and
to coroner Ralph Folsom. A party
was then formed and left Pendleton
last night for the scene of the out
rage. Those in the party were Sheriff
Taylor, Deputy Sheriff Pert Wilson,
Coroner Ralph Folsom and E. F.
Avcrill, of the East Oregonian staff,
A Murder Revealed.
..When the party arrived on the
scene this morning a terrible sight met
the gaze of those in the group. The
body of the murdered may lay face
downward upon the earth. The head
bnd heen brutally beaten with' a cluo
nnd a bloodstained piece of a railway
tie a short distance away Indicated
plainly the weapon used by the mur
rtered. As H to conceal the ghastly
evidence of the crime the top coat of
the murdered man had been placed so
aa to completely obscure the head
from view.
A trail of blood leading from the
spot where the body lay to a point
nearly 100 yards away and across the
railroad track showed tVt t? essail
ant had moved the body of the victim
some distance after the crime had been
committed. The body had been drag
ged down to the railroad track, car
ried across the track and then drag
ged again for a distance of probably
!0 yards north of the track. At that
point the murderer evidently dlspa?r
ed of making away with his victim's
body or else felt it would never be
discovered out on the sagebrush plain.
The body of the murdered man In
dicates he was nbout 28 or SO years
of age. He was about five feet five
Inches In height, would weight 135
pounds, had light brown hair nnd a
reddish brown mustache. He evident
ly had a ruddy complexion.
The dress of the dead man refutes
the idea that he was a tramp, or at
least one of the ordinary stamp. He
wore a dnrk gray suit and wore a pair
of now overalls over his trousers. His
coat nnd vest were of a chock pattern
and he wore a pair of new tan shoos.
His hnt nnd tie had been ptirchnsod
a: Xnmpn. Idaho, while, other gar
vi' nts bad been purchased at Faker
Citv. The Psht top coat was also now
in appearance.
I.eiter shows Identity.
'n the coat poc ket of the dead man
w:" found a letter addressed to
'Ivules Mickels. Pilot Rock. Oregon.
' as from John Adams, of Oakville,
W-"!".. end bad been mailed at Oak
ville. November 4. nnd received at
Pilot Rock November fi. Evidently
tve dead man had been in Pilot Rock
on the latter date.
As to who committed the brutal
murder the officers have little clue
though' Sheriff Taylor nnd Deputy
Wilson are dolnar everything in their
rower to ferret out tho crime. No
money was found In the pockets of
the dead man, yet tho pockets wore
date. If be is to have opposition the
name of his opponent has not yet
hi en made known. The same is true
'of (1. It. t'pthegrove. the present seo
Iritiry who Is also out for relectlon.

I selves of that privilege. It is antic
ipated that the result of the eleotion

I unexpected controversy arises.
not turned out as would have likely
been the case had robbery been the
motive of the assailant A silver El
gin watch was left In the pocket of
the dead man and this too would seem
to scout the robbery theory.
The body of the murdered man will
be taken to Pendleton this evening
though Sheriff Taylor will remain
there In hopes of finding some evi
dence leading to the Identity of the
murder.
Mickels Not Known.

Buffalo, N. T., Nov. 26. Frank
Gotch last night failed to gain a sin
gle fall from Zbysco, the giant Pole,
in an hour, and thereby lost the
match, conditions of which required
Gotch to win two falls within an hour.
The Pole displayed tremendous physi
cal strength and an excellent knowl
edge of the game. Zbysco said:
"I can beat this man in a straight
match."
Jack Herman, his manager, said:
"I will post $2500 in Chicago day
after tomorrow for a match with
Gotch for $10,000 a side."
Zbysco weighed 236 pounds and
Gotch 203. Ten thousand persons saw
'.he match.
