Says the Referee CURLY Refused
to Entertain a Just
Protest.
HIS MEN JEERED AND KISSED.
He Declares the Northern Athletes
Guilty of Unspor tsmanlike
Conduct.

PORTLAND Or, June 29.-Charges of
unsportsmanship have been made by the
Olympics against mem bers of the Multi
nomah club. They affect the whole club,
and the opinion of the Olympics in this
regard has been shared, more or less by
outsiders to such an extent as to make it
impossible to disregard it. The lack of
craftsmanship with which the Olympics
charge the Multnomahs does not mean a
lack of fairness; it means a lack of those
finer principles that are not found in the
rules of the Amateur Athletic Union, but
which are far more important In preserv-
ing true amateur sport than all the rules.
Captain Leonard Gill of the Olympic
says:
"The Multnomah team won from us Sat
urday because it was a better team. Our
team was weaker team than we should
have brought north and we found much
stronger team here than we expected. We
don complain about meeting better men,
but we do complain of the unsportsman-
like manners of the club and people here.
When Patterson would come up for his
trial in the high jump there were men in
the grand stand who guyed him. Then,
too, the crowd jeered him when he failed.
It's the first time 1 ever dreamed that it
was a disgrace to fail in manly trial.
"After Wand had injured himself and
could not enter the 440-yard race, was
promised permission to substitute another
man; but at the last moment we were
denied that privilege. In the hurdle
race the courses were not properly meas
ured. Our man, Patterson, had he run,
would have had from ten TO fifteen yards
more to go than Morgan. l do not think
Patterson could have won, but he was en-
titled to properly measured course.
after finishing the 220-yard dash, I had
to go into my quarters for a rundown, and
as captain of the team had no opportunity
of seeing how the courses were arranged.
But as soon as did heard of it asked for
Mr.. Glisan, the referee, and protested to
him. He declined to consider my protest,
saying that it was not made in the proper
way. Did you ever hear of such thing ?''

able until the National appropriation was
secured, and, furthermore, because the
services were rendered before there was
any surety that the National appropria-
ton would be allowed.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION,
Three Persons Killed by the
Bursting of Boiler in
Texas.
The General Manager of the Southern
Pacifc's Atlantic System Is
Badly Injured.

HOUSTON, TEX, June 29.-This after
noon the boiler in the Office of the Daily
Age exploded, killing Engineer Henry
Lyons, Miss Matte Loeb stenographer
in the office of w. G. Van Week, vice
president and general-manager of the
Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific
Railroad; Edward R. Emory, telegraph
operator in the same office, and seriously
iniuring Mr.. Van Week himself
The force of the explosion carried the
entire boiler, which was of 18-hor3epower,
across vacant lot, where it struck a
building, was DETECTED upward and
crashed into the general Office of the
Southern Pacific system on Franklin
avenue, over 800 feet away.
Mr.. Van Week was debating to Miss
Loeb when the boiler crashed through the
brick wall back into the rear of the build
ing, taking everything in its way. Miss
Loeb was carried nearly twenty feet from
her chair and was found afterward buried
under a mass of debris. She lived only
about twenty minutes. Mr.. Van Week
was carried some distance also, but escaped
with serious cuts on the head.
In the next Office. divided by thin par.
tition, were two telegraph operators, Ed
ward R. Emory and Theodore Grice. The
former was struck by the boiler and in
stant]y killed, while his companion es.
capped practically uninjured.
Henry Lyons, the unfortunate engineer
who carelessness probably caused the
horror, was blown to pieces.
The inmates of the editorial, business
and composing rooms of the Daily Age
were uniniured, as the force of the expIo-
sion was all in the opposite direction.
The pecuniary damage amounts to al bout
