c., representing M. A. A. c., Liv-
ingston, Y. M. G. A., Kelley and
Walsh, Columbia. From the out.
set Of the meet 1t was evident to the
goodly crowd that was present,
that the struggle would be princi-
pally between the Columbia lads
and the wearers Of the winged IN"
and the race for the handsome low
ing cup was nip-and-tuck. 1t was
only because Columbia's team was
weaker and less experienced than
her victors, that the boys failed to
place the cup in their trophy room.
However, no excuses are offered
for the defeat. Dan Kelley, Col
umbia's star track-man was not
himself, owing to recent sickness;
nevertheless he captured two events
of the four in which he was entered,
and in the 22o yard dash, delighted
the audience by winning II in rec
ord-breaking time, and establishing
a new indoor record-23 as sec
onds. Another flash Of the cap
tain's real ability was shown when,
in the second heat of 5o-yard dash,
he won from Oscar Kerrigan In the
record time Of S 35 seconds, which
feat breaks the Pacific coast indoor
record. In the finals Kelley, los
ing his stride near the finish, was
easily beaten by Smithson Of M. A.
A. c., who is one of the neatest
and fastest sprinters in the north
west. His distances are pre-emi-
nently the so and roo-yard dashes,
while Kelley is fast in the 27o-yard
run. Both are fine athletes and in
he coming meet will afford consid-
,rable speculation among their ad-
nirers. There are nowhere in the
northwest two more promising ath-
etes than Kelley and Smithson. |
The distance events, the mile and
ialf-mile, brought out some very
promising runners in Mays of the !
VI. A. A. c., who captured the
nile event with ease, and in Walsh
II Columbia, who took both the
uarter and half-mile without any
fort. Both give promise of de-
'eloping into fine distance runners.

FIRE THIS MORNING.
Bud Bells House on Cottage Street
Badly Damaged.

The fire department had a run this
morning that kept them busy for
awhile. At l0:30 an alarm was turned
in from the telephone Office, giving the
location at "Cottage and Mill" The
department made the run to Cottage
and Mill streets. and found no FIRE
Some person said the fire was in the
Cottage hotel, and the engine and hose
wagon started back. On the way back
Pete Phillips, driver Of the engine, saw
smoke in the air that looked like a fire
to him, and he headed for the PLACED
which proved to be Bud Bell g house,
on Cottage street and Mill creek
BY the time the apparatus arrived
the upper part Of the building was en-.
veloped in flames, and IL looked for a
while that the whole house would go
Out that distance on Cottage street
there are no fire plugs, but there was
plenty Of water in Mill creek, and the
engine backed down and two streams
were soon playing on the flames. u
was a difficult fire to fight, as the whole
interior Of the upper part Of the build
ing was on fire at once, and as soon as
the blaze was put out sin one place, Il
broke out in another.
BY good work on the part Of Chief
Savage and his men the FIRE was soon
gotten under control. The upper part
Of the building, one and half story
house. was destroyed, with a loss Of be-
tween four and FIVE hundred dollars.
Two families occupied the house,. L.
George and Fred Hewitt. The origin
Of the fire was defective Hue. All Of
the furniture in the house was taken
out, but was badly damaged by water.
Had the department received the
proper location Of the fire when the
alarm was turned in they would have
saved much time on the run, and made
the property damage very light.
This is another object lesson that a
fire alarm system should be installed.

OPINIONS DIFFER.
Portland Ministers idea About Rock
efeller.

Wednesdays Telegram says; A diff
ference Of opinion among church peo'
pie Of the city in regard to John D.
Rockefeller and his gifts exists, many
believing that he is a menace to Chris
tian religion, while others think his
money should be accepted.
Rev. w. e. Randall, Of Central Bap'
fist church, said this morning;
"I have no Endorsement for many Of
Mr.. Rockefeller's methods or the sys-
tenn that he represents. On the ques'
tion Of tainted money, I believe that
money used for the making Of man
hood loses its 'taint.' I would use
Mr.. Rockefeler's money, or any other
mans money, provided the use was
not construed as an Endorsement OF
wrong methods Of money-making.
"If men have flched money from the
public, they ought to return II, but
they should be just before they are
generous. Let them first make restitu'
tion. and use their remaining money
generously for the welfare Of man
kind -
NO Worse Than Others.
Rev. s, C. Lapham, Of the Second
Baptist church, said;
~ do not believe in the acceptance
OF any money earned or gained by
questionable methods. There is a ques
tion in my mind, however, as to the
methods Of Mr.. Rockefeller. In place
Of abuse, would rather that people
would investigate the ethical basis on
which he has gained his fortune. 1 dc
not consider that his fortune has been
obtained In any more dishonest or dis
honorable way than the money earned
by ordinary business men Of today. For
instance, could take money Of Mr.
Rockefeller as readily as could accept
money from business concerns Of this
city"
Rev. NJ. NJ. Bledsoe, Of Emmanuel
Baptist church, said;
al have about the same opinion OF
Mr.. Rockefeller that Rev. Mr.. John
son has. I think that Rockefeller rep
rosents the meanest spirit Of the age. A"
The opinion to which Rev. Mr.. Bled
soc refers was expressed yesterday in
Eugene by Rev Herbert S. johnson,
Of Boston, who said;
"Personally, l believe John ID. Rock
ofeller is the biggest load that the Bap'
tist denomination is carrying today
