Dr. Stewart of 0. A. C. and
Manager Walker of U. of 0.
Give Tentative Plans.
BIG GAME TO BE STAGED
HERE ON NOVEMBER 8
Matter May Come Up Before
Commercial Club for Action
of Business Men.
Football! University of Oregon vs
Oregon Agricultural College. No
vember 8, Albany.
Dr. E. J. Stewart, director of ath
letics at the O. A. C. and Graduate
Manager Dean Walker, of the Univer
sity, were here today to size up the
situation.
In company with Wm. Eagles, who
successfully engineered the staging of
the big game here last year, they were
shown over the field this morning.
Afterwards the three met and talked
informally over the plans.
The result is that the football men
want Albany to place the football
field in first class order, construct
bleachers for seating capacity of 8000
exclusive of any cost to either of the
schools, and guarantee that that num
ber can be seated. This is aside from
other minor stipulations.
On the other hand they will grant
the right to Albany, to make out an
excursion train schedule to suit the
majority of the business men. In oth
er words the business men of Albany
can say when the excursion trains
should arrive and depart from the
city when the game is over.
Thirdly it is probable that the city
will be called upon to stand for the
rental of the athletic park which will
be from $250 to $300. unless the mem
bers of the local athletic association,
who have the field under lease, come
forward and assist in bringing the big
game here to some of this extent.
These matters wil probably be
brought up before the meeting of the
Commercial club tonight and there
will probably be concerted action one
way or the other. They are' to come
up at the instance of Mr. Eagles, to
whom the tentative plans for the
game were given this morning by the
football managers ot tne two scnoois.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
is a possibility of disapproval of any
proposition in part submitted by either
side there is a strong probability that
the game will be played here. While
neither ol the toornail men made
statements that would be regarded as
absolute assurance, while on the
grounds this morning, one suggested
the flip of a coin to decide which side
of the field they could choose for
their rooters. The statement that it
hadn't been definitely determined
whether the game would be played
here, caused this matter to be drop
ped. It is understood that Manager
Walker is strong for the staging of
the game at Eugene while Dr. Stew
art wants it played in Portland, but
the question might arise as to whe
ther it will be played at all unless at
Albany. The action of the Commer
cial club in the matter will be com
municated tomorrow without delay to
the two managers.
Toured this Section of County.
A Lebanon real estate man and a
party of four strangers arrived in Al-
bany yesterday afternoon by automo-
e after touring the section of Linn

Wight and C. t. Swick, of lierkely,

NEW YORK GUNMEN
HAVE ROUND IN COURT
Argumentsn Appeal of Ex-
Police Lieut. Becker Made
Before Court of Appeals.
Albany. N. Y.. Oct. 13. Arguments
on the appeal of ex-Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker ana nis iour kosch
than gunmen from sentence of death,
were begun today before the court of
appeals. The arguments were to
have been made some two weeks ago
but the Sulzer impeachment proceed
ings at which the court of appeals
judges sat as members of the im
peachment court,' made necessary the
postponement until today. Speedy
decisions in the Becker-gunmen cases
are expected. Should the court de
cide against the condemned men it
seemed certain today that a further
appeal would be taken to the United
States supreme court. This would
mean that the men convicted of the
sensational killing of Gambler Rosen
thal will not be executed for many
months at least.

SULZER BREAKS
GovernorBelieves Mistake Was
Made in Not Permitting
Him to Take Stand.
MEMBERS OF SENATE
SAYS SULZER WILL WIN
Tremendous Pressure Being
Brought to Bear on Members
of Court by Both Sides.
(By United Press Association)
Albany, N. Y Oct. 13. De- S
spite the predictions of Sulzer
that only eleven members of the
impeachment court favor him
when he needs twenty to acquit.
Senator Wende this afternoon
stated that he was sure that the
governor would win, but gave no
figures. He asserted that there
ffl .ire enouo-h Sulzer members of
the court to prevent his removal,
of appeals, with possibly one ex-
adding that he expected thecourt
ception to vote for the governor.
The anti-Sulzerites are claiming
() n virtnrv over the arovernor on
the final vote.
a
t Albanv. N. Y.. Oct. 13. Convinced
that the defense in the impeachment
trial has been unskillfully conducted,
Governor Sulzer has Dractically brok
en with his lawyers who conducted
the case. The governor is incensed
in particular by what he considers the
virtual admission of Attorney Herrick
for the defense that he is unfit for the
tmvprnnrshin. coimled with the con
lentinn that unfitness is not a ground
for impeachment. Sulzer considers
ton that his counsel made a fatal mis
take in refusing to allow him to make
a statement in his own behalf from
the witness stand and if convicted he
will throw the blame at the boor of
his attorneys. Tremendous pressure
is being brought to bear on members
of the court, both for and against
the governor.
Alhanv. N. Y.. That this afternoon
will see the beginning of the end of
the Sulzer impeachment trial seemed
likely when court convened this morn
in i. It anncars improbable that :
verdict would be returned before to
morrow but that Sulzer will be able
to get a pretty definite idea concern
ing the numner ot supporters is in
dicated inasmuch as a vote is sched
uled late today on the governor's con
i.,i!.. thai the rmirt lacked the dow-
er to try him for acts preceding his
induction into office.

WITH ONE ANOTHER
County Clerk Marks Raises
Question Regarding Special
Elections.
HAS NOTIFIED OLCOTT
OF HIS DISCOVERY
Point Raised Is Relative to
Voting Hours; Attorney
General to Answer.
A discovery in the election laws
has been made bv County Clerk Wil-
lard L. Marks that may effect local
option liquar elections throughout !he
state.
That the code provides that the
oolls must be open at special elec
tions from 8 o'clock in the morning
until 7 o'clock at night, whereas a
law nassed at the last session ot the
legislature provides that the polls must
be open from 8 o clock in the morn
ing until 8 o'clock at night, is the
question raised by County Clerk
Marks, upon the contention that the
laws may conflict regarding the hold
ing of special elections.
Mr. Marks has notified Secretary
of State Olcott of his discovery rel
ative to the differences in the two
laws.
Mr. Olcott is of the opinion, ac
cording to word received from Sa
lem, that the new law repeals the sec
tion providing for voting hours by un
ulicationfi but urged Mr. Marks to get
an opinion regarding it from Attorney
General Crawford.
