REMARKABLE TALK
Professor Would Use Alcohol for
Farm Motive Power

Professor @. j. Zintheo of the
department. of agriculture delivered
a remarkable address at the Agri-
cultural college Monday morning,
predicting complete revolution In
farming methods in ten years through
cheap motive power. In the course
of his remarks he said:
II hesitate to state the real effect
on the farming industry If the bill
permitting the manufacture revenue
free of denaturalized alcohol is en-
acted by. congress. This alcohol is
poisonous, being IN substance wood
alcohol, and cannot be used by man
as beverage in any form. 1t can
be made with little outlay for ma
chinery, and can never be controlled
by trust as it can be made in
every township in the United States.
In Colorado you can make the best
of denaturalized alcohol out of sugar
beet pulp that is selling for IS cents
a ton, and potatoes can be utilized
to the best advantage in it's manu-
facture. In the middle states corn,
and even cornstaIks, can be used.
The average cost Of manufacturing
denaturaliZed alcohol is 121a cents
gallon, and it should retail at not
more than 15 cents per gallon. This
alcohol will certainly take the place
of both kerosene and gasoline, for it
can be protitably produced at half
the price, and better than that, 1t
makes as good light as the city gas
plants and is not so dangerous as
gasoline when used in stove for
fuel. BY changing the mechanism
of engines this aclohol can be used
instead of gasoline, and this SO per
cent reduction in cost means that
pumping plants will irrigate thou
sands of acres not now cultivated,
and that portable engines will be
used for plowing and every other
farm work in which motive power is
needed"

SKATERS PROVE
VERY VERSATILE
UNIQUE EXHIBITIONS OCCUR IN
LOCAL Kinks
Roller Initiates a Freight Train at
MorIey's-Panoram and tthe
AngeIus Catering to Large
Crowds

The term greatest on earth" has
been employed by practically every
professional skater before the public
and many of them have proven SHIN
ing examples of the expert roller.
At Morley's Grand Avenue rink this
week an attraction is being offered that
appeals strongly, whether or not the
witness may be devotee of the sport.
The Rexos are unquestionably bril-
liant exponents of the art and as they
promise a change of program at every
performance, with complete change of
costume, it is readily to be guessed that
they are versatile.
An exhibition that called forth, a
deal of applause resulted yesterday
when Rexo, on large wheels, gave an
imitation of freight train climbing
hill and passing through a tunnel.
The effect was particularly unique
and altogether novel so far as Los An
geles is concerned.
Judge Tucker of the Angelus rink Is
catering to large crowds, with special
attractions, among which Prof. Charles
Tyler Is prominent figure The An
gelus by its classy exhibitions and ur-
bane methods Of reception has become
one of the strongest drawing cards as
regards lovers of the fascinating sport.
The Panorama rink is preparing for
another great match race Saturday
evening, the leading attraction to be a
$500 purse.

MUD HENS TAKE
OPENING GAME
RANDOLPH IS REPLACED BY
NAGLE
Up to Seventh No Runs Made by Wis.
ltors, but Portland Scores Eight
TalIles In the Last Two
Innings

with the score seven TO nothing in
the seventh inning, Nagle was substi-
tuted for Randolph and let the Mud
Hens win out with a score of eight
to seven. Nagle was top heavy, to
say the least and when he went in
the box failed miserably.
Randolph had allowed but five hits
and no runs but in the last of the
seventh injured his side and could not
pitch the rest of the game.
This is the first of the series of six
games with Portland and up to the
eighth the game looked like a shut
out contest with the Mud Hens at the
small end of the deal.
Judge Nagle had been on the side
lines and just why Captain Dillon
picked him to finish the game is yet
to be decided.
Only once in the first seven innings
did the Mud Hens advance a man
far enough around the diamond to
make things look serious for the An
gels. In the fifth Smith doubled to
right, went to third on Donahue's sac
rifice and stayed there. He would not
come home though he had several
chances to do SO.
1t was a walkover for Los Angeles
until Nagle took the game in hand
and then Angel city baseball stock
slumped.
McHale was the first man to score
for Portland. He singled to left, stole
second and scored on Mercedes high
bounder infield.
Smith came up next and scored Nc
Creedie with a double to left. Carson
slugged one far out in left which
bounded up against sign board on
the other side of the fence and fell
back in the diamond.
Umpire Bull Perrine called this a
home run. OF course Dillon got UP In
the air and took little stroll out to
the fence to examine the sign. 1t is
safe to say that the offending article
will not be in the same place when
the game Is called today.
Sweeney opened the ninth with a
single to left and McHale put one in
the same place. Nagle threw wild to
Buckley, who was catching, and both
Sweeney and McHale scored. This
made the score six to seven and no
outs.
McCreedie bunted one along third
base line and was safe. Donahue came
up and singled to center, sending Nc
Creedie to third. Carscon walked, fill
ing the bases. The crowd cheered
Lister who came to the bat and singled
to left, scoring McCreedie and Dom
ahue. Schimpff, the Portland pitcher,
flew to center and retired the side.
This ended the first half of the ninth
with the score eight, to seven, with the
Portland team In the lead. Eight runs
In two innings on nine hits comes
near to making record for the Mud
Hens.
Portland decided to change pitchers,
so Henderson took the place of
Schimpff. Bernard came up first tc
even things" with the new pitcher
but flew out to McHale in center
field. The Los Angeles supporters
groaned.
Gochnauer waddled out next and
famed. /, More groans from the crowd
There was yet one star, as Cravath,
who played SO well last week, stepped
to the plate, swung his bat, struck
once, received two balls, and then
went out at first.
The score.

DR.. COOK OF BROOKLYN
CLIMBS MT. M'KlNLEY
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Dr. Fred A,
Cook of Brooklyn has reached the
summit of Mount Mckinley, Alaska
2O,4S4 feet above sea level.
DR.. Cook is the first to ascend the
mountain on record.
News of his success was received
tonight in a telegram from him dated
Tyokne, Alaska, to H. L. Bridgeman
of the Brooklyn Standard Union, which
read:
1--WE have reached the summit OF
Mount Mckinley by new route from
the north and have mapped 5000 miles
of country. Return to Seattle by the
next steamer"
An expedition headed by DR.. Cook
some time ago failed of it's purpose
and he left here last May for second
attempt.
Professor Parker of Columbia uni
versity who accompanied him, later
returned and said that two intellectual
attempts to reach the mountain TOP
had been made and that he had left
Cook to make still another.
In the three attempts made Cook
had approached Mount Mckinley re-
spectively from the east, south and
west. A recent letter from him re-
ceived here and dated August 25 stated
that the mountain climber was making
an ascension from the north side. This
presumably is the effort which has
crowned him with success.
DR.. Cook was surgeon of the Peary
Arctic expedition in 1912. and SIM
ilarly associated with the Belgium ex-
petition.

AMERICAN IS WINNER
OF LONDON BALLOON RACE
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOC1aIeQ fTeSB
LONDON, Oct. 2.-Lieutenant Frank
P. Lahm of the Sixth cavalry, United
States army winner of the inter-
rational balloon race, arrived in Lon
don this afternoon from Whitby, where
he spent the night. Lieut.. Lahm and
Maj. Hersey, his companion during the
trip, described their voyage as having
been most delightful, the weather
favoring them from the start until
shortly before the finish, when an east
erly wind sprang up and took their
balloon, the United States, dangerously
near the cliffs of Whitby.
At the start Lieut.. Lahm said a
westerly wind carried the balloon over
western France, and then, veering
northwestward, took her across the
channel from just north of Caen to
eastward of Chichester. They had a
beautiful moonlight night for crossing
the channel and greatly enjoyed the
experience. The balloon was so low
and maintained It's equilibrium so well
that the aeronauts were enabled to see
persons ON the decks of the channel
steamers.
After crossing the channel the wind
took the United States almost directly
north along the coast, and had the
breeze continued favorable, Lieut..
La1hm said, there would have been no
trouble in reaching Scotland. AS it was
an east wind sprang up and was carry
ing the balloon back seaward, so the
aeronauts made a leisurelyi descent, the
lieutenant climbing down the guy ropes
to inquire the way to the station. AS
the wind was favorable. the Americans
continued their journey toward the
railroad, descending not far from the
station.
While, the trip was entirely without
accident, Lieut.. Lahm gives much of
the credit for the success of the United
States to Maj. Hersey's meteorological
knowledge, and the major says that the
|ieutenant's management of the balloon
was perfect.

kENTuckrs LAW SUSTAINED
Whole Case Turns on Public Welfare
Declares the Judge
Rv Asencinted Pres

BY Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 2-The Kentucky
racing law was declared constitutional
and the information against the racing
commission was dissolved and the case
remanded to the lower court for further
proceedings by the United States dis
triet court of appeals in this city to-
day. The decision was announced by
Judge Cochran
The last legislature passed what is
known as the racing commission law,
the purpose being to avoid conflicting
dates on tracks at the same place and
to limit racipg in general so as to avoid
too long meetings at any one point.
The Douglas Park track at Louisville
brought suit against the members of
the racing commission individually to
Testrain them from preventing the
holding of q race meeting during the
time set for a rival track. The lower
court granted .the Injunction and the
case was Immediately appealed. This
injunction was today dissolved and the
law declared to be constitutional.
Judge Cochran said that the whole
case turned on the question OF the pub
lie welfare. Where business may be
lawful, the enforcement of limitations
may be harmful to some one engaged
In that business, but the point of the
public welfare would have TO govern,
He discussed at some length the evils
arising from betting on horse races
ana the maintenance OF poolrooms In
connection with the business. holding
that some limitation was proper and
necessary, and that this particular law
was fair to all concerned.
Even a law PROHIBITING the holding
Of some races would be valid on ac-
count OF the evils Of poolrooms. and
certainly q law limiting the meetings
would be according to public policy.
