IX HONOR OF UNCLE
JOHN JUNTO'S KIKTUDAY I
A social event of more than ordin
ary importance will take place at the
Marlon Hotel tonight when 25 or more
of the friends of good Uncle John Mill
ion will sit at table with him,, and
unite In celebrating the occasion of
his ninetieth birthday. There will be
speeches, of course,, many of them,
and heartfelt ones, but there will be
none that will do the subject justice,
lor words are weak to express the
tenderest feelings of the human heart.
Hut those at the table with . Uncle
John will not by any means comprise
the list of those whose best wishes,
nd love go out to the grand old man.'
All the old residents will be there In
spirit, and If their feelings were all
written there would be enough paper
piled up In the Marlon dining room to
smother all the banqueters. The.
horse editor takes oft his hat to Uncle
John, and expresses the wish that he
may enjoy good health for years yet
to come, and up to the minuto of the
final call. '

New ork, Oct. 10. The actual trial
of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker,
charged with the murder of Rambler
Herman Rosenthal In front of the Ho
tel Motropole here, began today, when
the twelfth member of the Jury was
secured". District Attorney Charles S.
Whitman at once started outlining his
case against the accused man.

at Becker, "compelled Jack Rose, Sam
Schapps, 'Brldgey' Webber and Harry
Vallon to bring about the killing of
.Rosenthal, under threat of 'framing'
something on them."
Mrs. Rosenthal, wife of the mur

orders to pursue any advantage they

San Francisco, Oct. 10. With the
death of William "Heinle" Heltinuller,
and four other players of the Pacific
Coast league confined to their beds,
the epidemic of typhoid fever preva
lent among coast baseball teams has
assumed serious proxrtlons. Joe
Gedeon and Claude Berry, of San
Francisco; Claire Patterson, of Oak
land, and Walter Slagle, of Los An
geles, are the stricken players. A
physician attending Berry asserts that
the cause may be attributed to the
water In Los Angeles.
So certain are the convictions of
Berry's physician that he has written
to the Los Angeles board of health
recommending that a thorough inves
tigatlon be made at once to prevent tt
further spread of the disease.
From Los Angeles came the report
today that Slagle, who had been com
plaining for several days was forced
to take to his bed. Heitmuller was
similarly affected before going to the
hospital, where he died.

be that disease.
Slagle had been complaining of

COLLEGE SITDEXTS WILL
FIX I) THE RIGHT REMEDY
Governor West today staled that he
will refer complete data gathered with
relation to the salaries paid all county
cfficlals in the state, together with
tentative plans he has worked out Tor
a bill to be introduce at the npxt leg
islature, to students lf the I'niversity
of Oregon and the agricultural college
with the request that they examine
Into it all and give him their views on
the subject.
Under the present salary system
crunty officials are paid all kinds of
calnrlns. nnil the eovernor contends
' that they are unequal mid unjust. For
sometime he has been planning to
equalize them, and believes that If
they are based on the population, the
assessed valuation and the area of the
county that they can be made some
what equal. He now has data show
ing Just how much each county pays
Its officials, and this together with his
tentative plans, will be turned over to
the students of the schools for analyi-atlon.

How Accident Happened Un
known, E. L. Dallah, whose home Is In Omn
ha, Nebraska, where he has a wife and
several children, died early this morn
ing In the city jail as a result of In
juries received early In the evening
yesterday by falling down the stair
way entrance on the east side of the
First Congregational church. It Is not
known just how the accident happen
ed, but he was evidently wandering
around there unable to find his way,
when ho fell into the pit. which Is
nbout six feet deep. He evidently
landed on his head, which caused a
fracture of the Bkull Just above the
left ear. A post mortem examination
was held this forenoon at the Leh
man & Clough establishment by Dr.
O. B. Miles, assisted by Claude V.
Nelson and L. L. Hoy, students of tho
medical department of the Willamette
university.
The attention of the police depart
ment was first called to the accident
about 9:30 last night, when a passer
by heard groans of a man coming from
between the pni nonage and the church
at the place where he was later dis
covered in an unconscious condition,
from which he never recovered. He
was taken immediately to the city hnll
where Dr. Miles attended him, dress
ing his wounds and making him as
comfortable as circumstances and con
ditions would permit. During tho
night he suffered a good deal and
died about 6 o'clock this morning.
His wife has been serving as a nurse
In one of the hospitals of Omaha and
was to have left there yesterday for
Seattlo, expecting to arrive there on
the 13th. Chief Hamilton wired the
chief of police of Omaha tills morning
ndvlsing him to ascertain If Mrs. Bal
lah was still In that city. From let
ters found on the person of the unfor
tunate mnn It seems that nothing but
friendly relations have exiwted be
tween him and his family and that
both were looking forward o a happy
meeting at Seattle on the 13th.

BoBton, Oct. 10. New York came
hack with Rube Marquard today, and
mado It even-all with tho Red Sox,
taking the third contest of the world's
series by a score of 2 to 1.
The Sox, fighting desperately and
forced to como from behind, made n
sensational ninth Inning rally that
threatened to pull tho gamo out of Ihe
fire when Marquard faltered, and the
(Hunt defense threatened to crack. But
Cady, who had replaced Carrlgnn be
hind the plate, was unequal to ,he
task put up to him in the pinch, and
when Devoro pulled down bis long fly
the ngony was ended, and tho raco
evened up.
Marquard, who had been a question
mnrk In tho (limit battery of diame
ters, came back with a flash of his
early season 10-ln-a-row form, and,
given a . lend of one run In the first In
nings, held Iho Snx safo all the way.
Buck O'Brien, who opposed Ihe
iCilnnt southpaw, pitched a grade of
l ball that would have wrln with lots
ito spare had be been pitted against
tho (Slants' exhibition of yesterday,
jbut tho luck was not with him, and
the (limits hncked Marquard up In n
fashion that must hnvo made Math
owson envious.
Bedlent made a ninth Inning entry
after O'Brien had given way to n pinch
hitter, and held tho Giants Bafo In the
closing stage.
Tho attendance today was 31,021;
recolplB $03,142.
Of this the national commission's
share Is $0:114.20: players' share $H4.

Thnt tho ninth Inning rnlly did nei

combed a stinging double down the

hnndled It poorly, while Ixwls scored
and (lardner wns held at. second, nnd
