there was-a crash as the train, which
had left the bridge only 30 seconds
after tbe first train, dashed into the
first train standing at Twenty-third
street. The rear car on the first tram
was forced into the rear of tne car
just ahead. The lights of the first
train went out and the cries of tbe in
jured and panic stricken passengers
were terrifying. The policemen and
firemen - were summoned and had to
chop the cars apart to rescue the im
prisoned. The firemen woraed over an

James Farlev, who had charge of
the nonunion men brought to this eity
to operate the trains, took an active
part in directing their worlc.
The first show or open violence
against the strike breakers, was made
at One Hundred and Tenth street sta
tion of the subway, and as a result one
of the strike breakers was taken to a
hospital with a badly injured arm.
Today's strike was the outgrowth of
agitation and negotiations which began
simultaneously with, tbe opening of the
new subwav last fall. Even before the
operation of the big tube was begun, a
protest was made by the motormen of
the elevated lines, when it was an

There will be no race meeting - at
the State Fair grounds this season.
This is because tbe business interests
of the city, would not provide a guar
antee fund of 2000 to insure tbe mem
bers of the State Fair board against
oersonal loss in the venture, notwitb
standing all of the benefits realized
would aeerne to the interests of the
business element of this eity.
This question was decided once' and
for all. at the meeting of the state
board of agriculture which was held
at the State House yesterday after
noon. . i
This was the meeting at which the
question was to have come up, and
when a ' committee of citizen was to
have appeared with the assurance of
the necessary inducements for ...the
board to carry out the meeting as
scheduled before it was known tnat
there would be no state fair. Although
the citizens were given two weeks in
Which to eonsider this matter and pre
pare for the meeting, there was not so
much 'as one, representative citizen put
in an appearance, or seemed to have
taken enough, interest in the matter
to inquire about it.
There was nothing left for the board
to do but decide to drop it and cancel
the dates, and this was the action
taken.
There seemed to have been plenty
of interest, that is individual intercut,
manifested in tbe holding of a race
meeting, bnt there was nobody to take
tbe initiative and the matter died a
natural death. The amount of the guar
antee fund which was fixed by the
board, to insure it against financial lo-
in the undertaking, was $2000. It was
not . material whether the cash was
raised by subscription and placed on
deposit, as the board would have been
satisfied if some responsible citizens
would nave agreed to reimburse the
board to the extent of this amount in
the event of a deficiency. -
Two or three citizens, however, did
take enough interest in the matter on
Wednesday evening to inform Presi
dent Downing that, if the board would
defer action on tbe question until
Thursday evening, they would raise a
fund of (1500. Mr. Downing said that
if such a proposition had been made
to the board, and there is no, plausible
reason why the money could not have
been raised in two weeks if it could
be done in "two days, yesterday, the
board would have been inclined to con
sider and accept the offer, but it saw
no reason for dillv-dallying over - a
imal! . matter of &JOO0 or -'$1500 .'for
three weeks or more, upon so import
ant a question when it should not have
'aken the people more than two or
three days to decide " whether they
wanted it or not. The board would
have received no benefits as a result
of the meeting whatsoever, besides run
ning the risk of meeting with a heavy
deficiency and loss on account of hav
ing no available funds with which to
meet such a condition and the board
merely held out the offer for the benefit
of the business interests of the eity.
Portland Wants Meeting.
It is quite probable now, since it
ias been decided to cancel tho racing
lates so far as the Fair grounds are
oneerned, that Portland will endeavor
to secure tho meeting dates for the
aarncss events in connection with the
tnnual program of running events
which are held each season. This was
araetically decided several weeks ago
by the business and other interests of
Portland and they have only been wait
ng the decision of the -Salem public
n the matter. When the result is an
nounced a meeting will b called in
Portland and arrangements made for
taking over tbe meeting which was to
have Deen held at the 8tate Fair. It,

matter of
(From Thursday's Daily.)
'What is the' matter with having a
norse show, in Salem this spring! " i
Tins is a question which tne horsemen
of this city and county are discussing
now and it begins to look as though
matters will sooa begin to assume def
inite proportions in favor of that sug
gestion, if tho, movement which has at
redy been inaugurated gains strength'
and strikes a popular chord.
Several years ago it was quite tbe
usual thintr to hold horse shows in this
city in tbe spring of each year, and
they . .alwavs terminated successfully
both financially and as an attraction.
The custom was dropped a few years
ago, however, and a movement is now
on foot to revive it. If any encourage-,
men t is offered the agitation it is prob
able that a horse fair will be scheduled
to be held in this city on or about tbe
first of May -of the. present; year. ( A
number of horsemen were talked to up
on this subject yesterday and they were
in favor of it without exception.
" There is no reason in the world
why we shouldn't have a horse shorn,"
said one prominent horse fsncier, "and
i, tor one, wjjt. lend sucn a movement
ail tne assistance tnat is within my
power and means. There is no state in
the Northwest that can boast of more
and better horses than can Oregon, and
there is no- better horses in the, world
today: '-'for their class, than is owned
right here in Marion county. The fair,
of course, shouM not be made an ex
clusive show for Mariou county animals
but. the rules should be broad, enough
to admit any horse in the state, or on
the Pacific 'coast for' "that matter. The
more the merrier, and the more and
better grade of horses we have the more
glory in the premiums receiyod.
"It would notcost so vry much to

would, of .coursehave to be advertised,

famous advice as to inns and groa:j,
The widesprenl agitation among the
churches on the divorce rnietdion has
found an echo in Congress.'. A nuiqtie
bdl 'was recently inirouuced --by Kcpre
sentative Morrell, of Pennsylvania
making ilivorced persons of either sex
eligible for appointment to positions m
the iOvrrninent service. The measure
covered not -onlv the ietartment, but
tberniy aud navy, tbe niplouiat ! corps
and the judiciary. It note,! in its pre
amble the recent messase from the
President advUing t)c collection i.sta
ustics on the divorce question and rie
clared that the public policv o( the
United States demands that iome stan-
Hard be establihel for the detcrtuina
tion of the moral fitness of divorced cit
izens tor appointive posit tona. A lur-
ther stipulation was that if any person
holding a government position should
Im .divorced, the position would at once
become vacant. There are many, rt-aous
wbr the measure will never lecouie
law, but it is interesting for its puldic
reeognuioii of the al.irniing increase of
the evil.
The recent visit to -Washington of a
delegation of Sout hern cotton growers
and manufacturers, to ask the help f
Ihe Iresident in the 'present erwis. m
the .cotton . industry, m.ike oC timelv
interest a rejort just issued by the De
partment of Agriculture, on the exper
intent' with the, cotton' boll worm, in
1904, It is stated that by ad(pting
certain exiedieiits in culture, a satis
factory crop of cot ton .'may 1o. grown
even when the weevil is doing it worst.
Karly crops are thn mt efficient rem
edy, which are 'effected by the use of
early fruiting seed, "tho employment of
fertili7r to force the growth of plants
and frequent cultivation. In seasons
of severe ravages, pari green may Ik
applied early in August; but the great
solution of the problem is a crop that
will mature before "the peMiferous worm
is biff enough to lwcin his nefarious
work usually about the 1st of August
It is worthy of note that statistics
compiled, by the department giving the
cost of picking cotton in the several
states, show that the expense is much
greater west of the Missippi river than
east' of it; the range being from 33
cents per hundred pounds to 73 cents,
the latter figure having been reached
in Oklahoma. Sea Island cotton costs
from 87 cents to $1.20, the higher
range being due to the structure f the
plant, the bolls being smaller and. more
of them being required to make up a
pound. The cost of picking the whole
crop is between $75,000,000 and' t&0,
000,000, and the average quantity of
upland cotton picked daily by each
hand is 117 pounds.
In connection with the labor ques
tion, it is not generally known that an
Investigation by tbe department reveals
th fact that in sections where the
white population ' predominates, the
quantity picked per day is considerably
larger than in counties where there is
a preponderance of negro-labor. This
is a knock-out blow 'to the pet theory
that the cotton industry of the South
is dejvendent upon colored labor. r
