HOOD RIVER SMALL
DISTRICT
Apple Buyer Contrasts Well
Known Oregon Section
to Wenatchee.

There is a great deal of talk of
the Hood River and Medford apple
districts, but few people realize that
both of these territories are very linn
ited,' said well known apple man
to the Daily World this morning.
Hood River is credited this year
with about 600 carloads of fruit on
~. l understand that the little dis
trict of Cashmere alone will produce
gets her reputation from the fact
that she produces very fine Yellow
Newtowns and Spitzenbergs, and al
so on account of the quality of the
pack, but as far as area is concerned
and prOductiveness, you people have
it all over the Oregon section, AMI
| want to say, too, that as far as the
pack is concerned, with the care that
is now being taken, the Wenatchee
valley maintains as good a pack and
grade as any apple section in the
world. l do believe, however, that
as far as marketing is concerned,
Hood River has it over this valley.
That section is thoroughly organ
lied and modern methods are used
in marketing the fruit. There is a
big, strong organization there and
Hood River always gets top notch
prices"

SAM HILL DEFENDS
bOW[bY
Son-in-LaW of Hill Saws
Blame Should Attach
to Snow.

GO1dendale, Wash, Oct 15.-In-
termingling a defense of State High
way Commissioner Bowlby, an attack
upon the politicians of the state and
an assault upon the railroads with
his address on the subject of good
roads, Samuel Hill yesterday aroused
the Southwestern Washington Devel-
| opment association to a frenzy of
enthusiasm.
AS president of the State Good
Roads association, Mr.. Hill, son-in-
law of James j. Hill, repudiated the
charges recently made against State
| Highway Commissioner Bowlby. The
| latter is accused of contracting bills
far in excess of the appropriations
| for that purpose and to have so mis-
managed highway construction and
the convict camps as to force the adj
ministration of Governor Hay to re-
pudiate some of the Indebtedness.
Mr.. Hill openly declared that the
| charges should be laid at the door
of Joseph Snow of Spokane, prede-
cessor of Mr.. Bowlby, whom Hill ac-
cused Of having been influenced by
the Milwaukee railroad when the
latter located it's right of way
| through the state.
Mr.. Hill said Snow had expended
100000 of the road funds needless
ly in the making of surveys on the
right of way of parallel roads.
The speaker said that when the
present commissioner attempted to
investigate, Seattle and Olympia po-
liticians who had been barred from
participating in any of the road
funds, though running up expense
bills and securing appointments on
commission, had retaliatei by en-
deavoring to attack the record of
BOwlby.
Switching to the railroads, Mr..
Hill accused the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Hartman
lines of retarding the development
of Oregon and Washington through
the Capitalization of their manage
ment in the hands of unsympathetic
fasteners, and declared that the two
sattes must enlarge the powers of
their railroad commissioners or take
hold of the management of railroad
development themselves.
He declared that there was a gen.
eral feeling of unrest among the
people, called insurgency, which had
its chief cause in the belief that they
were not receiving a fair deal from
the railroads and other corporations.
Mr.. Hill closed amid a remarkable
demonstration of applause. :

WILL PURGE SEATTLE'S
RED LIGHT DISTRICT
Judge Gillian Hands Down Sweeping Decision Which
Makes it Unlawful to Rent Property to Denizens of
the Underworld Seattle Politicians Close to Admin
istration Said to Have Made Half Million

Seattle, Oct. 15.-An order re-
straining Mayor Hiram c. Gill, Chief
OF Police Wappenstein and the city
health department from recognizing
and protecting the district inhabit-
ed by degraded women and issuing
certificates of health to them. was
signed by Judge Mitchell Gillian in
the superior court.
The order enjoins the property
owners in the district from renting
property for unlawful purposes. The
chief of police refused to issue the
mandate, holding that the court
lacked the power to make such a
mandate. The proprietors of disor-
derby houses were also enjoined.
Sheriff Hodge says he will enforce
the order. This means that hun
dreds of white, negro and japanese
women will be driven from the build
ings near the railroad stations.
Mayor Gill recently ordered the
women to be removed to large build
ing in another section erected by
politicians closely allied with the
city administration, but the suit
pending will restrain the operation
of that district also. The old dis
trict is alleged by the Public Welfare
League to have yielded half a mil
lion dollars tribute money to the po-
lice since last March, and the recall
campaign against Mayor Gill is now
in progress based on his alleged
maintenance of the plague spot.

SITUATION
RELIEVED
Reports Now Indicate Grow
ers Will Be Able to
Care for Crop.

In speaking of the orchard situa-
ton this morning, Inspector Darling
ton said:
The agitation of the Daily World
has borne good fruit. The growers
did not realize the Importance of
getting their apples off the trees
without any delay. The talk about
closing the schools emphasized the
need of quick action. 1t now seems
that the growers will be able to cope
with the situation without resorting
to the extremity of closing the pub
lie schools"
''All the members of the Fruit
Growers Association said Presi-
dent Holcomb, ARE now taking care
of their picking in good shape. They
will not need the assistance of the
high school,
Fruit Buyer G. B. Lanham has
been sending strangers who show
up from the railroad out into the
orchards. He thinks that these
newcomers have relieved the situa-
ton and that the crop will be pick
ed before damage can be done. w.
G. Michael is of the same opinion.
At the Commercial Club, calls for
help from the growers have almost
ceased. Secretary Coburn does not
know whether to assign the reason
to the fact that they are now sup
piled or to the fact that he has been
unable to do much for them and
they have been looking to other
sources for workers. He now has
several pickers listed who have not
yet been placed. Among these We're
two buxom girls from Seattle.
Comparatively few replies have
been received by the Daily World to
the rekuest that the coupon printed
in Thursdays issue be filled out
and mailed to the newspaper. Six
growers favor closing the schools at
once for at least week. They re-
port total of $40 boxes which re-
main to be picked They need SO
pickers and IS packers. These re-
plies will be turned over to the
Commercial Club and an effort will
be made to supply the calls for help
at once. About half of the growers
have ample storage facilities to care
for their fruit if it is all picked at
once and held for packing as conven-
lent.
G. Gormly, a grower, writes: Il
am in favor of closing the schools a
few days. They dismiss school for
day or half day for almost any
little thing that comes along.
think it is very important to close
for a few days. I need the help of
my children and l don't want them
to miss school. I think the whole
neighborhood is in favor of closing"
School Board Meet Tonight.
The school board will meet this
evening to discuss the matter and
take definite action one way or the
other in regard to closing or not clos
ing the schools next week.

1t is intended that the balloon

First Message.
The first message from Wellman
was to local men who backed this
enterprise 1t arrived at l O'Clock
directed to Joseph w. Salus, presi-
dent of the local syndicate which
supported the project. 1t read
"All did nobly. We are doing our
best to repay your loyal support"
Second Message.
Another message from Wellman
states the start had been made fol
Europe. The vessel was proceeding
at twenty miles per hour. At 1890
the wireless operator of the Ameri'
can flashed this message:
Going to sea. We are forced to
stop our motors TO get the wireless
outfit in working order. Now able
to work wireless and motors are
again started"
West India Hurricane.
Word was received at Atlantic
City from the weather bureau at
Washington that the West India
hurricane is coming up from the
east. An effort is being made by
Wellman's friends to reach and warn
him to keep clear of the track of the
storm.
Joseph Salus flashed the follow
ing message to all ships within
Wellman's zone with the request that
they transmit to MIN as soon as pos
sible:
"Walter Wellman, on board air
ship America: Yours is great
work, one of the achievements OF
the century. Plaudit from everybody
Our best wishes and Go1speed to
yourself and Vaniman. Am with
your family and will stay with them
until we hear that you have reached

KETCKE[L IS
FATALLY
SHOT
Pugilist Shot by Employe
of Ranch Where He
Was Rusticating.

Springfield, Mo-, Oct. STANLEY
Ketchell, the champion middleweight
pugilist, was shot and probably ia
tally wounded this morning by an
employee at the farm of r. P. Dick
erson, five miles north of Conway,
Mo-, where ketchell has been since
Tuesday, for recuperation. The en-
ploye used target rifle. The cause
of the shooting was not learned.
Ketchell was born Sept. IA, 1887,
at Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has
made a remarkable career in the
ring.
A bullet went through Ketchell' S
lung. The man who shot him es-
capped Bloodhounds are on the trail.
A special train has been sent to
bring Ketchell to the hospital here.
Stanley Ketchell's real name is
Stanielaus Kiecel. Four years ago
he began fighting his minor bouts
lin Montana. He found himself to
be good and went to San Francisco
and whipped one after another of
the noted pugilists and secured the
title of middleweight champion from
Billy Papke. Later Papke whipped
Ketchell, but again he lost to the
Grand Rapids wonder. A little over
a year ago he went out of his class
to fight Jack Johnson, the heavy
weight pugilist of the world, but was
beaten in rather an easy fashion in
twelve rounds. Since then Ketchell
has been active in the ring.
No Witness to Shooting.
Ketchel was shot by Waller Hurtz,
a quarrelsome ranch hand. The bull
let entered Ketchel's right lung. So
far no effort has been made to probe
for it because of the patients low
condition. The shooting occurred
while Ketchel was eating breakfast.
There were no witnesses and as Ket-
chel almost Immediately lapsed into
Inconsistencies the exact circum-
stances were not learned. Hurtz and
Ketchel exchanged words last night.
Little Hope for Ketchel.
Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. ia tel
ephone message from Conway says
physicians have little hope for Ket-
chefs recovery. An immediate Oper-
alton is necessary and an attempt
will be made late this afternoon to
remove him to Springfield.

The Snohomish football team ar
rived on the afternoon train yester-
day. determined not to be placed at
a disadvantage by late coming. They

morning the SnOhomish boys de-
clared that they promised their
friends to win today's game or not
go home When asked if they did
not consider that an awful risk to
run, they replied that the game to-
day will not be any such walkaway
as the Ellensburg farce.
The Wenatchee eleven is in splen-
did condition for the battle. Having
practiced faithfully and engaged in
daily scrimmages with the second
team, they are now rounding into

OF JOHNSON'S INTEREST.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June l.
That Billy Nolan. formerly manager
of Battling Nelson, will eventually as

story that gained credence last night.
The story Is backed by the fight tina.
took place between Manager George
Little and Sig Hart. one of the train

AS gossip goes, there has been any
thing but harmony between Little and
Hart, and it finally eliminated in &
physical contest, in which Little is said
to have stretched Hart out on the road,
while the members of the camp were
playing baseball. There was an end to
the affair only when Johnson gave
Little a tongue-lashing.
1t is said that Little has been shorn of
all real authority. Nolan has admitted
that he has been Indirectly sounded on
the subject of taking charge. Nolan

And zBYSzKO
WRESTLE FOR The
BIG TITLE TONIGHT
CHICAGO. June i.

NllASA1O, june "
ERANK GOTCH and stanislaws
zbyszko will battle for the wrest-
ling championship Of the world
at the Coliseum tonight. Critics pre-
dict that the American will have a hard
fight to pin the giant Poles shoulders
to the mat twice. Few, outside of his
enthusiastic countrymen, concede Zby-
szko a chance of wrestling from Gotch
the honors he won in defeating George
Raekenschmidt in 1908, and which he
has successfully defended since then.
Zbyszko is admittedly the logical OPP
ponent of Gotch. as he has emerged
successfully from the informal elimina-
ton contest. He has defeated Yusseff
Mahmout, the challenger against Gotch
last year, and practically all of the
important wrestlers of the country.
Gotch and his opponent tonight have
met once before, but in a handicap
match. 1t was in Buffalo, and the
terms of the match called for the
American to throw the Pole twice in an
hour. Gotch failed to get even n fall
in the allotted time.
Dick Fleming, of Chicago, has been
chosen as referee. Zbyszko made an eff
fort to have a Pole act in that capacity,
but his demands were refused. He will
be allowed, however, to have a commit
tee of his c~ountrymen at the ringside,
n they will prepare a report of the
match for general circulation through
out Europe where Zbyszko is better
known than in this country.
The men are scheduled to enter the
ring about $3.50 p. m. tonight.
