TRY OUTS TO
Be HELD IN
PORTLAND

Portland, Or, July 15.-Portland
will be one OF the three cities in the
United States where try-outs will be
held to select the athletes for the
world Olympic games in Stockholm
next summer, if plans that are now
being made by the amateur athletic
union are carried out. A New York
dispatch says that the officials are
figuring on three cities in which to
hold the try-outs, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Portland.
Four years ago San Francisco was
selected as the try-out place for the
Pacific coast athletes.
The plan of holding the sectional
try-outs eliminates much of the ex-
pense connected with the selection OF
the American team, and gives more
athletes an opportunity to compete

Los Angeles, Cal, July 15,-Five
minutes after Marine Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger arrived in Los An
geles at noon today the probe into the
circumstances surrounding the wreck
of the steamer Santa Rosa, which
was begun in San Francisco several
days ago, was resumed here. The
first witness called was George w.
Morse, a passenger on the Inflated
vessel. He testified that the ship
struck about o'clock in the morn
ing, and that up to 8 o'clock in the
afternoon no effort was made to trans
fer the passengers. At that time, he
said, heavy sea came up and the
officers Of the ship found it impossible
to transfer the human cargo ashore
or to the vessels standing by to rem
der assistance. Morse said that, in
his opinion, it would not have been
difficult to have transferred the pas
] sengers before the storm came up
He declared that Captain Faria had
announced that the passengers were
to be transferred at l o'clock to the
steamer President. The latter yes
sci, however, did not appear,
The next witness was F. w. Col
Inns, of San Francisco, another pas
senger. In all there were about
dozen witnesses waiting to give thei
versions of the wreck. All of then
we're passengers.

States and Japan has now become
possibility" Yoell said, but that
or any other treaty between the two
countries would in no way alter the
position taken by this organization.
"Californians and people of the
Pacific coast generally have only the
kindliest feeling for the japanese
government, and for the japanese in
Japan While the japanese and all
other Asiatic races retain their la
borers in their own country, there is
no reason why the people of the
United States should not hold them
in amity But we do now and shall
strongly protest against any influx
OF Asiatic laborers into this country,
no matter what the relations between
their governments and ours may be.
For that matter, l do not think
any arbitration treaty between the
United States and Japan would in
validate the agreement as to coolie
labor at present in force. Lam glad
to say that the japanese government
seems to be living up to its promise
to keep it's laborers at home and con-
ditions in that respect on the Pacific
coast now are fairly satisfactory.
"There are, however, some ques
tions to be decided about the entry of
Japanese women into the United
States. These will probably be ar
ranged without serious difficulty"

REPUBLICANS NAME HOMER
GREENE FOR CONGRESS

hereby instructed to present to the
conference the name of Homer
Greene, of Honesdale, Pa, as the
unanimous choice of the Republi-
cans Of Wayne county as a candidate
for Representative in Congress to
fill the vacancy in the Fourteenth
Congressional District caused by the
death of Hon. George w. Kipp, and
to use every honorable means in their
power to procure the nomination of
Mr. Greene as the district candi-
date.
Resolved, That whereas, Wayne
county during her one hundred and
thirteen years of existence, has had
the honor of having but two of her
citizens sit for one term each as her
representatives in Congress, one of
whom has been her only representa-
tive during the thirty-seven years
since the organization of the pres
ent congressional district and whose
single term ended twenty-eight years
ago.
And Whereas by reason of her
population, her Republican vote, and
the ability of the candidates whom
she has presented for nomination,
she has been entitled to vastly
greater share than she has received
OF such political honors, it is now
the feeling and the determination of
Wayne county Republicans, and the
conferees this day elected are so in
structed, to present the claim of
Wayne county for the forthcoming
nomination with such force and eff
feet that her right shall at this time
be recognized by the District, and
she shall receive the justice which
has been so long delayed.
Mr.. Greene was called before the
committee and he expressed his
hearty appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him. He said the
action taken shows a united party in
Wayne county.
Matters of Importance were dis
cussed and, the committee adjourned.

Ninety-nine years residence in

the Spencer family, who gathered
together in large numbers on the
placid shores of Lake Poyntelle, last
Saturday, where they enjoyed a day
of unalloyed delight, featured by a
sumptuous dinner, the election of
officers and by the absence of long
winded speeches, essays and histori-
cal articles.
Next year will mark the Tooth an
niversary of the coming of the Spen-

$4,000 BRIDGE
TO Be ERECTED
Long Delayed Proposition
Finally Acted Upon
Friday
BRIDGE WILL JOIN FOREST CITY
AND BROWNTOWN; CON-
TRACTS TO BE LET SOON.

After hanging fire for more than
twenty years, the proposition to
build a $4,000 bridge across the
Lackawanna River from Forest City,
Susquehanna county, to Browntown,
Wayne county, was signed, sealed
and delivered at an inter-county
meeting, Friday morning at 10
o'clock in the Grand Jury room of
the Wayne county court house, when
the Susquehanna County Commits
sioners, the Wayne County Commis-
sioners and the supervisors of Clin-
ton township, Wayne county de-
cided, on the advice of legal coun-
sci, to go ahead and take the meas
urements of the proposed structure
and let the contracts, without any
further delay.
The necessity for a bridge across
the Lackawanna at this point has
long been felt. The river is fully
a hundred feet wide between Brown
town and Forest City. Some idea of
the inconvenience and delay to
which the residents of both Forest
City and Browntown are being put
may best be derived from a state
ment made to a Citizen man by
Harvey Dan, who resides near Way
mart He said:
1--WE go South from Browntown
half a mile into a hole in the river
and there at present we are fording
the river with our loads. When we
cross the river we come to the foot
of hill. We got to go up high,
steep embankment, to cross the Rail
road tracks, and there are four of
them. Another reason for a bridge
is, we have no public road from the
river to the city. The road is never
worked from the river to the county
line, distance of half mile. Two
thirds of the year it's almost i'm
possible to get over the high en-
bankment to the railroad tracks"
Browntown is a mushroom min
ing town, with population of about
400. 1t sprang up in the last two
or three years. People living there
have to walk over mile out of the
way to get to their work in Forest
City. The whole town has been
hoodooed on account of the lack of
bridge.
Browntown boasts of one hotel,
restaurant, several stores and
business places, and is located one
and one-half miles from Forest
City, across the tracks of two rail
roads and the Lackawanna River.
Application is being made to the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
NJ requesting that a postoffice be es-
tahlished there, and a postmaster
appointed. AT present the town is
supplied with mail pouches from the
Erie and the .Ontario and Western
Railroads.

ARE CHAMPIONS
OF WAYNE COUNTY
HOneSdaIe Team Defeats
HawIey by Score
Of 4.3
CLOSE GAME UNMARRIED BY ANY
ALTERATIONS; HAW LEY
MANAGEMENT CONGRATU-
LATED.

The Honesdale base ball team won
the championship of Wayne county
at Hawley last Saturday afternoon,
when they defeated Captain Glib
bons' men by the close score of to
3.
More than five hundred men, wom-
en- and children watched the County
Seaters trounce their old-time rivals
in a well-played game, which was alb
solutely free from any demonstration
of any sort whatsoever.
Save at critical moments the ST.
lence was so intense, that some of
the spectators remarked that the
game reminded them of a Sunday
school picnic, and the management of
the Hawley team is to be congratulate
ed upon the splendid order main
tanned throughout the afternoon.
Ben. Hessling, who is still twirling
for Honesdale, pitched in his old
time form, allowing only four hits,
and handing out but three passes to
first, while Sheridan was touched up
for a total of thirteen hits. The re-
suit was never in doubt because Hess
ling had the goods, and Sheridan
didn't.
The County Seaters made a geta-
way START OF Cnree runs III Cne HrSL
inning, and they added another one
in the sixth. Hawley threatened in
the seventh, when they made their
three runs, and again in the ninth
when a splendid catch by Bader cut
off the prospective tieing run, and
cinched the game.
Mangan, the first County Scatter,
to face Sheridan, in the first inning
famed. Captain Leslie Brader
doubled to right field. Ross bounced
the ball two feet from the home
plate, advancing Brader, and prompt
ly stole second. Sandercock laced
the ball to Shortstop Wilson, who
tried to put out Brader at third, and
as a result the bases were filled.
With the bases crowded "Duffer :"
Weaver clouted the ball to centre,
scoring Brader and Ross, and stopped
at midway. Jacobs lined the ball to
Wilson, who threw wild to Seller in a
fruitless effort to cut off a run. And
the score was to 0, at the end of
the fatal first, Bader tanning and
Schilling fouling to J. McUloskey.
They shouldn't have scored a
rum" heatedly remarked a Hawley
player to his teammates, at the end
of the weird first. And by rights,
they shouldn't have either!

HONESDALE PEOPLE
DISGUSTED WITH
WEDDING AT RINK

Alleging that they " desired to
be married so that marriage shall be
recorded in Pennsylvania, E. Frank
Vernon and Lillian E. Vernon, pro-
fessional roller skaters, of Worces-
ter, Mass, publicly plighted their
troth in the Honesdale Roller Rink
last Saturday night, before crowd
of 900 people, Squire William H.
Ham officiating.
The wedding was widely advertis-
ed as legal and lawful marriage
of a young couple prominent in
Honesdale," who were to be married
on roller skates. Shortly after ten
o'clock, e. H. Cortright stepped into
the middle of the floor, and announc-
ed that everything was in readiness
for the real marriage, and introduce
ed as the contracting parties, the
VeTnons, who have been filling an
engagement at the local rink.
The piano softly played the fami-
liar strains and the blushing bride
and happy groom, circled around the
rink, and met under a huge leafy
bell in the centre of the floor, where
Squire Ham was awaiting them.
The bride and groom were dressed
in white. Squire Ham began the
solemn marriage ceremony by saying
1--WE are gathered together in the
sight of God and in the face of this
assembly" The light was poor, and
the print in the little black book
rather fine, and the Squire advanced
nearer the light. What he said after
the opening words could hardly be
heard on account of the jeers, Kisses
and yells of disapproval from the
spectators.
The reporter even could barely
catch the important question, I'll
any one can show just cause why
these two people shall not be joined
together let him now speak, or else
forever hold his peace"
Lillian promised to love and obey
Frank to the accompaniment oi
"Ahs and Hip, Hips" from the
audience.
After the wedding was over the
Squire shook hands with Frank and
Lillian, disregarding the vociferous
shouts of "Kiss her! kiss her!"
AS the disgusted crowd filed out
of the rink they were treated to g
sight of the legal documents attest.
ing a previous legal marriage in Co
lumbus, Ohio, February year ago
neatly framed and hung up in the
lobby of the building.
Since the event, the people o.
Honesdale are divided into hostile
camps over the answers to questions
like this: "Was 1t legal marriage?'
"Can a couple who are already mar
ried once, be married again?" etc.
