100000 CLUB
HOUSE FOR
M.A.A.C.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Aug. 1S.-Work on
the construction of a new club
house to replace the one destroyed
by the Exposition fire, in July, will
be started in the near future, ac-
cording to members of the building
committee of the Multnomah ANA
teur Athletic club today.
The 100000 bond issue is prac-
tically subscribed for and the
money is available for the con-
struction of a much more magnifi-
cent home than the former one.
1t is estimated that the proposed
club house will be ready for occu-
pancy in ten months.
The building committee has held
several conferences with the archi-
tects and number of plans for
the club house have been consid-
cred.
Final plans, however, will not be
drafted by the builders until an
other meeting Of the committee is
held.
While the club is lacking a
building of its own, it will occupy
the old MacLeary residence at
Fifteenth and Yamhill streets. It
is installed there fully now, and a
formal opening will be held in the
house and on the lawn tonight.

SPOKANE ATHLETE
WILL ASSIST
D0b|E

George Febiger, who played a
star halfback for the Spokane
high school football team in the
seasons of 1908. will go to the
University of Washington this fall.
Febiger, who is now 81 years
old, is big fellow, being over six
feet tall. and weighing just about
200 pounds.
He was a mere stripping when
he played on the Spokane high
team. but had the stuff that made
him a good running mate for Gro
yer Harrington and Wallace De-
Witt, both of whom have made
good in collegiate football He had
the grit, and was one of the big
factors that made the Spokane
bunch a winninw aggregation IN
1907. With good coaching he
should prove good timber for the
Washington University team.
The big fellow has been at West
Point for the last year, and has
just returned to Spokane.

AUTO DAY

Saturday, October s. will be au-
tomobile day at the Spokane Inter
state Fair. There will be two mo-
tor cycle races. two stunt" races
and a classic racing event for big
cars, in which an attempt will be
made to reduce the track record
for the half-mile track. The speed
event as now planned will be a
five mile race and the indications
now are that the fast drivers of
Spokane and vicinity will be well
represented.
While the motor cycle races will
doubtless attract thir full share of
attention, the stunt" races should
prove quite as popular with the
crowd. The first of the stunt"
races will be a slow race for a
distance of 200 yards on the high
gear, the drivers feet to be re-
moved from both the clutch and
the foot brake levers from the start
to the finish of the race.

BALL

The most interesting part of the
1ndian-Tiger set-to at Recreation
park yesterday to record is the
swat-fest in the lucky seventh,
when the home bunch, after two
men were down, made five success
sive, safe bingles, and four runs. A
few errors by Spokane let the Tt
Gers get one-run lead, which
looked pretty big for a while. The
Indians got one in the third and
then it was a one-two-three process
sion until the last half of the sew
enth.
Nordyke and Cartwright were
easy outs, and with the bottom
half of the batting list up, it didn't
look particularly rosy for score.
But Davis bingled to center, Keen
er sent a scorcher down to left,
Shea scored Davis with a Texas
Lacquer, and Bonner came to the
pNtter The crowd yelled for him
to win his own game, and he came
through. He swatted one several
yards over Bassey's head and be-
fore the fat little man could re-
trieve the pellet, Keener and Shea
ambled in. Netzel varied things
with a safe drive to right, and Bon
ner got home. Cooney looked as II
he could postpone the end of the
inning indefinitely, but Netzel was
caught trying to steal home.
Joss tied the Beavers tails in
knots yesterday and the best they
could get was three hits, and not a
tally.

CLEVELAND, hios Dec. z-"Get that
maniac" was the order given to the
Cleveland police today when a hunt
was begun for a man who exchanged a
number or shots last night with Bert
Knapp, keeper Of John D. Rockefeller
Forest Hi estate. and Marshal STAN
berger, Of East Cleveland, while he
evidently thought he was shooting at
Mr.. Rockefeller.
After emptying his revolver the man
fed through the grounds. and the po-
lice this morning tried TO trace The
footsteps. According to the story re-
lated by Knapp today, he saw the In
truder as he climbed over a tall fence.
Instead OF needing a challenge 20 stop
he commenced 10 shoot toward Knapp.
A telephone message brought Marshal
Stamberger, and the demented man
then turned his revolver against the Of
hcer. he escaped, owing 10 the dark
ness
While Mr.. Rockefeller is in the East
Marshal Stamberger placed a police
guard about the ground for fear the
maniac would return and do serious
damage The fear that he might at
tack other persons about Cleveland
added impetus to the police search
which went on with vigor today
The police took Knapp's description
Of the man and today visited various
Institutions for the insane about Cleve-
land to learn II any person answering
the description had been discharged
recently.

EXPERTS OF NATION

Trying to Determine Rela-
ton of Disease TO Corn.

Uncle Sam is much concerned over
the frequent assertion that Pellagra Is
caused by the eating Of unsound and
unfit corn
Being the greatest raiser OF corn in
the world. il naturally follows that any
such charge as this against the corn
crop is likely to affect mis- pocketbook
seriously unless Il is met and dis

Under these circumstances the De-
partment Of Agriculture Is making some

in the investigation of the alleged rela-
ton between spoiled corn and peIIagra,
they have mace a critical study Of the
methods Of detecting deterioration in
corn and cornmeaL
The Department OF Agriculture takes
the position that sound corn is a most
wholesome food Whether corn that
has been heated. fermented or nodded IS
dangerous is a question on which the
department is not yet ready 10 pass.
That II IS unsafe and the cause Of pei
lagra is so firmly believed in Italy and

that the governments OF these countries
have enacted stringent laws regulating
the quality Of corn and cornmeal which
may be sold OF imported.
The possibility that sOiIed corn NAV
possess poisonous qualities seems 70

try say the experts OF the Bureau
Of Plant Industry
So far the Departments position is
that the eating Of spoiled corn is IN
desirable whether It produces pei
lagra or not II is held that the most
reliable way Of distinguishing sgod
corn from bad Is - determine thu
acidity and that corn having an acid
ity above q certain point is to be
avoided
The department points out that pei
lagra IS peculiarly likely to appear
IN insane asylums. hospitals, and pc
nal institutions and IL Is advised that
those purchasing corn for food pur-
poses shall insist that fl contain not
