DISCUSSED PASS EVIL.
Railroad Representative Complains o
Example Set by Public Officials.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga. B. Stick.
ney, of St. Paul, president of the Chi
cago Great Western railroad, tonight
delivered an address on 1.-THE Effects
OF the Interstate Commerce Law" be.
fore the regular monthly meeting of
the Washington Economic society.
Mr.. Stickney's chief point was:
"As all the purposes can be accom-.
plished without q schedule, it seems
evident that the most serious defect in
the law is its failure to authorize the
commission to make a schedule of in.
terstate rates."
After enumerating the defects of the
law, Mr.. Stickney took up the nom
enforcement OF that part of the inter.
state commerce law which forbids free
transportation of passengers, and de.
clared that "the governors of states,
many of the judges-in fact all OF
them, from the highest to the lowest
clergy, college professors, editors,
merchants, bankers, lawyers" are
guilty of q misdeme amor in riding on
free passes.
"While sheritfs, district attorneys,
courts and prisons may cope with the
outcasts of society,"" said Mr.. Stick.
ney. 'they are powerless against the
classes which have been mentioned.
Think Of the impossibility Of commit.
ting these classes to prison; think of a
sheriff arresting himself, a district at.
torney prosecuting himself, aud of a
court Judge committing himself to the
penitentiary.
''1n England, where the laws against
DETERMINATIONS are enforced these
determinations do not exist. The
members of parliament, who enacted
the laws, have obeyed the laws, and
even the Judge when travelling on rail.
ways, pays the regular fare, and even
II he has a special train he pays the
scheduled rate for its use.
''For fifteen years the public con.
science has apparently been in a sort
OF self'hypnotic trance Of expectancy
which can never be realized, namely
that the virtues of the railway com.
panies will render it impossible fol
the individual to offend the law.
"What the country needs to brea
the trance IL an illustrious example,
like the example of the king of Eng.
glau. There Is one man, aud but one
man, whose example would be etfec.
tive; and unless the American people
have misjudged his character, If he
realized that he was transgressing the
law in accepting the currency of free
transportation, Theodore Roosevelt,
would have the virtue and the ability
to set the example which shall awaken
ot1icialdom and all good citizens to a
sense of individual duty to obey this
law

NEW TW|STER MAY

CHAMPION WARD DEVELOPING
NEW SERVICE
VIII Apply His Discovery In the Ap.
preaching international Trophy
Matehes-WIll Go South
for Practice e.

, When the tennis experts Of the United
States go to England in June to try
to bring back the Davis cup, Holcombs
Ward, national champion in singles,
will use a new service he Is busy de-
veloping. Its nature is carefully
guarded secret, but It is said to be
even more puzzling than the famous
reverse twist" Ward invented.
This service Ward used when the
first English team-Gore Black and
Barrett-met him, and they were COM
pletely nonplussed. The new twister,
it is predicted, will be an important
factor at the international matches
at Wimbledon.
International competitions for the
Davis cup, an increased number of
clubs in the Metropolitan Tennis league
and the early start of the society tennis
players indicate the most active eastern
season the sport has ever known.
Overshadowing all else Is the interest
taken in the formation of an Amer
ican team which will endeavor to re-
turn the blue ribbon of the tennis courts
to this country.
Within a few weeks players who will
compose this team will go south for
practice, and already the use of sew
eral of the best southern courts has
been offered to the executive commit
tee of the United States National Lawn
Tennis association.
Secretary Palmer E. Presbrey has
been in correspondence with some of
the southerners, and 1t seems likely
that the practice will be held at Nor
folk, Va. Among those who will go
south are Ward, William A. Larned.
ex-champion; Beals C. Wright the
Massachusetts, state champion and
former Harvard expert; Kreigh Collins,
the western champion, from Chicago,
and Raymond D. Little, the former
intercollegiate title holder, of Princeton.
That the German emperor should
take a decided interest in the competi-
tions for the Davis cup is not surpris-
for the sport. Germany will be repre-
sented, and with Australasia, Austria,
Belgium and France in the preliminary
tournament against America, the
matches should be of the highest class.
Americans will gain much by the pre-
liminary tournament, as relatively they
outclass the Europeans and should win.

QUARREL ON WARSHIP
RESULTS IN MURDER
Colored Mess Attendant on the Cruiser
Boston Shoots Ship
mate

Sy Associated Press.
VALLEJO, March 19.-Growing out
of a trivial quarrel between two col
cred mess attendants, a murder was
committed on the United States cruiser
Boston this morning and James A.
Cooper is now in Jail here charged
with shooting A. Dorsett to death.
Before the men arose Dorsett, it is
said, began nagging Cooper, who is
small man, and the trouble was re-
newed when the men went to the
mess room to prepare breakfast.
Lieutenant Miller, executive officer of
the ship, hearing disturbance, en-
tered the room where he saw Cooper
bending over Dorset, who was lying
on the floor. Lieutenant Miller thought
Cooper had a knife in one hand and
fastened to the pair. He was too late,
however, for Cooper quickly fired three
bullets into Dorsett, who died in a
few minutes. Cooper was at once
placed in irons and brought here, as
the case is a civil one the Boston
being at anchor.
Cooper says he acted in self f-defence
as he thought Dorset was about to
attack him with razor. After the
first quarrel Cooper took a revolver
from the room of an officer.

TO RACE ACROSS
THE CONTINENT
ROAD RUN PLANNED FROM NEW
YORK TO PORTLAND
Managers OF Lewis and Clarke Expo
sition VIII Arrange Endurance
and Speed Contest-Differ-
ent Routes

The Lewis and Clarke exposition will
organize an automobile race or endur-
ance test from the Atlantic coast to
Portland during the summer. Invita-
tions have been sent to automobiists,
clubs and manufacturers for sugges-
tions.
1t is planned to have the run start
cars leaving from New York. The ma
ture of the prizes or how they will be
awarded has yet to be decided.
Judging from the preliminary out
lines, the run will be go-as-you-p please
affair. The drivers may pick out their
own route and go as fast or as slow as
they desire.
1t takes five days for a traveller to
go from New York to Portland. one
automobile made the trip from New
York to San Francisco last summer in
little less than thirty three days.
With the improvements made in motor
vehicles since that time, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the time con-
sumed by the more successful contes-
tants in the cross-continent automobile
race will be less than a month. The
distance by the shortest route is about
5000 miles.
Most of the eastern contestants will
center at Chicago and three different
routes are advised from the latter
place. The southern route, by way of
would take the automobilists to Spo-
kane, Kan; thence along the Sante Fe
trail to Southern California, passing
through southeastern Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona. From Southern
California the way would lead up the
coast through San Bernardino and Los
Angeles, through the San Joaquin val
ley to San Francisco. Thence to Port
land, following the coast, the route
would be easy.
The middle route, which has been
taken by one daring chauffeur, is more
difficult in some respects than the
southern, but is shorter. This route
takes the traveller from Chicago across
Illinois and Indiana into Iowa. thence
to Omaha, Neb; thence to Salt Lake
fornia, and thence north into Port
land.
The northern route, the practicability
of which is a matter of question,
would lead northwest from Omaha,
crossing Nebraska, the Dakotas, Mon
IoI,
thence south to Portland. This would
include some of the most magnificent
mountain scenery in the world.

Travis Refuses TO Make Another Ef-

national Match on Prest-
wick Course

Interest in the gohng world soon
will be centered on the famous Prest-
wick links in Scotland, one of the "clas-
sic" courses. Beginning May 22d, the
amateur championship of Great Britain
will be held there. The event is of
unusual interest here because an Amer
lean is the holder of the coveted trophy.
Walter ]. Travis of the Garden City
Golf club has said on more than one
occasion that he would not return to
Great Britain to defend his title, gained
so brilliantly last May at Sandwich.
There will be more or less pressure
brought to bear on the "Old Man."
however, and many golfers will not be
surprised to see him try again.
When H. Chandler Egan, the ma
tional champion, announced that he was
going abroad and intended to play over
the famous courses in Great Britain,
1t was thought that the Harvard boy
would certainly follow Travis example
and compete in the amateur tourney
at Prestwick. Egan says he has no
intention Of playing in the champion
ship.
For forty years Charlie Hunter has
been in charge of the Prestwick green,
and to show its appreciation of his SER
vices the club is going to have his
the clubhouse, and a smaller likeness
will be presented to Hunter.
An Old Golfer
with the exception of old Tom Nor
ris, Hunter is the only golfer left who
played for the first championship belt
and cup. Hunter was born in 1886, and
played golf before the Prestwick club
was founded. In the first champion
ship in 1860, Hunter secured sixth place.
His best record was made in 1862, when
he finished third

He did not retire from competitive

He was a better match than medal
player. The veteran is the father of

of the Essex Country club.
Although the Prestwick course covers |
a scant 5000 yards in actual playing |
distance, it is one of the best natural
eighteen-hole circuits in Scotland.
There are tricky holes at which all the
famous golfers, both amateur and pro-
