AUTOMOBILE PLUNCES
INTO WlSHKAH RIVER
Two Young Men From Montesano In Auto Dive Into Open
Draw Of Heron Street Bridge Early Yesterday
Morning

Plunging through the open draw
of the Heron street bridge in an au-
tOmObile. in to the Wishakh river,
where the water was 30 feet deep
and escaping almost without injury
was the thrilling experience of Rea
Kellerman and j. Phillips Carothers,
two young men of Montesano. at 4:30
o'clock yesterday morning.
Their escape from death was little
short of miraculous, as the machine
turned completely over in the de-
scent and landed on the bottom up
side down with the lads underneath
CarOthers worked his way out first,
and came TO the surface, while Keller
man only got free from the machine
with difficulty and was almost eS-

the water The young men were pick
ed up by the tug that had been pass
ing through the bridge, uninjured be-
yOnd a few scratches and the cold
bath.
The automobile is Stoddard-Day-
ton belonging to Albert Schafer. of
MontesanO. and was taken without
permission by the young men for a
Joy ride, prank that nearly ended
their lives. The upper part of the
machine was badly wrecked, but the
running gear appeared comparatively
uninjured. The auto was towed to
Montesano last evening for repairs.

A MYSTERIOUS
PUBLICATION
Seattle Solicitor Misrepre.
sents the Chamber of Com
merce to Get Business

young man of pleasing address
is soliciting the businessmen of Abb
erdeen for biographical writupS in a
publication called Who's Who in the
Northwest" and in his zeal to do
business is dangerously close to the
line of misrepresentation. Secretary
Allen, of the Chamber of Commerce,
was kept busy Saturday answering
inquiries as the whether or not the
Chamber had endorsed Mr. w. H..
Hoffman and the work. Secretary
Allen say no such endorsement has
been given, or, so far as he knows,
asked for.
Up to this morning Hoffman had
between forty and fifty names on his
list, but how much cash has been
collected is not known. The expert
ence of l Nudleman, the well known
furniture dealer is typical of the oper-
ations of Hoffman. His card says
he represents the United Press AssO-
citation, of Washington, but his line
of talk is calculated to give the i'm
preston that he is with the Hearst
news service, the United Press Asso-
citation, of New York, and the words,
"of WASH" appear on the card in
small type.
With Mr.. Nudleman, according to
that gentleman, he gave him to under
stand that he was collecting data
about the country for eastern circula-
ton through the United Press; said
he had the endorsement of the Aber-
deem Chamber of Commerce, and
showed him the signatures of the two
leading bankers of Aberdeen, whom
he said had subscribed literally to
the work Through those represen-
tations, Mr.. Nudleman subscribed
$25, and gave his check in payment,
and later, upon learning that the
bankers liberal subscription and the
Chamber of Commerce endorsement
were not true, he had payment of the
check stopped. The Herald has NJ
positive knowledge concerning the
publication. but suggests that all ap-
preached investigate before paying
any money.

MONTESANO. March 26.-(Spe:
cial. THAT the timber lands of Che
halls county will be cruised this
year in obedience to the expressed
wish of the people at the election
last Noyen BEL is practical cert
ainty County Commissioner Wilson
has devoted much time to this prob
lem ever since he took office in jan
uary, and has the accumulated eX-
periences of other counties in this
matter for guidance. Davis has an
nOunced himself in favor of the cruise,
and it is not expected that Hopkins
will interpose any objections, although
last fall he was said to be opposed
to the plan.
The plan is said to be to. have
plats prepared for every section of
land in the county, giving full de.
scription, which will be permenant
record for all land assessments in
the future. 1t is estimated that an
accurate cruise of the lands will cost
about 10000, but this sum could be
reduced one-half or more if the hold
ers of large tracts would furnish the
county with the reports of their own
cruisers. These could be verified by
cruising a few tracts instead of the
whole, which, if found to tally would
justify the acceptance of the balance.
1t is said the Wyerhaueser Timber
Co. and several other large holders
of timber lands have expressed will
ingness to supply their estimates, and
it is now believed here that they will
shortly be invited to do so. The com
missioners are said to be preparing
to put men in the field as soon as
the spring fairly opens, so that the
work may be completed this summer
and the rolls prepared for the as
sessment of 1912.
The cruisers will report every few
days on specially prepared blanks,
which will be transcribed on tracing
paper from which blue prints will be
made for the use of the officers of
the auditor, treasurer and assessor,
and copies may be sold to land owners
desiring the cruise.
The reports will be valuable to the
owners of the property, and consid-
cradle revenue is anticipated from the
sale of those blue prints.

Unless Special Session Of Leg

OF DOUBTFUL XPEDlENCE
Result a Matter of Grave
Doubt. Big Cities Would
Rule State
OF DOUBTFUL XPEDlENCE

The meeting of the three governing
committees of the Southwest Wash
ington Development association, at
Centralia Thursday, demanded an ex-
ira session of the legislature, and
that the business interests of Seat
tie and Tacoma force their delega-
tions to support the Pacific highway
bill. under threat of boycott of those
two cities. Following are the reso-
lutions adopted:
THAT this association unanimously
places itself on record as favoring
the Pacific highway and pledges it.
self to use all honorable means to
secure it's completion as speedily as
possible, and
THAT this association asks the CO.
operation Of King and Pierce coun.
ties, and any effort at action by the
business interests of King and Pierce
counties in opposition to the build
ing of the Pacific Highway be con-
strued as unfriendly to the South
west.
THAT the executive committee he
authorized to ask Governor Hay on
behalf of this association to call
special session of the legislature con-
THAT after the commercial bodies
cf Seattle and Tacoma shall have Sc
cured sufficient pledges and assur-
ances from the senators and repre-
;entatives Of King and Pierce coun-
ties that they will enforce the pas
sage of the Pacific highway bill and
other state road appropriation bills"
Governor Hay is said to be willing
to call the extra session, provided
the members will agree in advance
to consider only the highway bill and
the apportiOnment of the state; will
serve without pay and remain in
session not longer than 4S hours
Whether or not the extra session
would accomplish the desired result
is an open question. The action of
the two big counties went farther
and cut more deeply into the game OF
politics than the defeat of the Fa.
cific highway measure, defeat which
by the way, our own Senator Hewitt
assisted in accomplishing. 1t seems
to mean that King and Pierce coun-
ties are determined to secure their
plan of the new appOrtionment of the
state by any available means, and if
the Cow counties" desire roads they
can get them only through acquies.
cence in this appOrtiOnment.
DR.. w. M. Beach, representative
from Mason county, and a leader in
the house, gave the situation in
nut shell in a newspaper interview
the other day, when he said:
There should be no special session.

BLUNDER MADE
By LEGISLATURE
Failed to Appropriate Money Out Of
Special Funds for Pullman Col.
iege and State Training School

OLYMPIA, March 25-It has jnst
been brought to light that the last
legislature among other things ov-
erlooked appropriating any money
from the scientific school fund for
the state college at Pullgan, and
that it failed to appropriate any mon-
ey from the c. E. P. & r. I. fund for
the state training school at Chehalis.
The failure to appropriate money out
of these current funds means that
about $4,000 will be paid out of the
general fund that should come out
of special funds. AS the result the
taxpayers will be paying out money
while the money in the two special
funds will be idle.

TAXES ON PROPERTY
AND NOT ON OWNER

OLYMPIA. March 25.-Personal
property which has changed hands
after March l is to assessed to the
person in whose possession it is
found, according to a ruling made
today by the state tax commission.
This ruling was made inasmuch as
the supreme court has repeatedly
ruled that taxes are not a debt, but
follow the property; that is, taxes
are not a personal liability of the
person owning the property on March
1, but are obligations resting on the
property, and only the property can
be followed in their collection.

G. A. Long, of Tacoma. n B. Blagen
of Hoquiam; E. ID. Kingsley of Port

exploitation commission, be selected
to represent all the lumbermen of
the northwest, and that it be en-
powered to employ an expert manag-
er to carry on the exploitation work.
Continue Several Years
The committee also recommended
that the work cover a period of sew
eral years and that at least $4,000
be spent the first year in order to
make the campaign effective. The
recommendation was adopted.
While many lumber manufacturers
who are compelled to market their
lumber in what is known as the rail
trade reported business quiet, cargo
manufacturers at yesterdays meeting
reported record-breaking volume of
business.

Louis Scott, of Paterson, Wins
Two-miIe Race From Scratch
at Celtic Park.

It was not until yesterday that Louis
Scott. OF the South Paterson A. c..
showed his real calibre as q long-dis-
tance runner At the games of the In
ternational Union of Steam Engineers
at Celtic Park Scott romped off with
the feature two-rnile run In the excel
lent time of 8 minutes % 2-5 seconds
Scott was the only back-marker and
he threaded his way through a large
field for a brilliant victory. winning by
fully se~venty-five yards. Scott's time
was phenomenal. considering the con-
dition of the track, which was soggy
from intermittent showers.
Mel sheppard, the middle-distsnce
champion, gave a poor exhibition in the
], 000-yard run, In which he finished
seventh. Probably the enormous field
had something to do with the stars
running, but he slowed Ut perceptibly
after a corking sprint In the first quar-
ter of q mile.

tossers, won his ~favorite event with a
heave of 1856 feet, Martin conceded big
handicaps, but n of his competitors

M'CINNITY HAS A DEAL ON FOR A NEW
FIRST BASEMAN, ONE OF BEST In MINORS

THE Newark Baseball Club has just
completed a deal which the owners con-
fidently believe will not only so
strengthen the team as to assure a
good finish for the present season, but
will put the Tigers most decidedly in
the running for the bunting of 1912.
The deal involves Joe Agler, the crack
ajack first baseman of the Newark
Club, who has been traded to a major
league club for two heavy-hitting out
fielders. One of these players, whose
names cannot for obvious reasons be
made public at present (waivers are
pending) will join the Newark Club in
a few days and the other early in Sep
TENDER.
"Agler will finish the season with
Newark and report to his new manager
in time for a tryout before the major
league season ends
"A deal Is also under way that will
give to Newark one OF the best first
basemen and heaviest batters in the
minor leagues.
while President McGinnity and H.
C. Smith regret to part with Agler they
realize that he would be drafted at the
price of $1,000. and they decided to dis
pose Of him In a manner that would
yield his true value. The Newark Club
could have sold Agler for SIS, 900 and one
player, which offer was made by a
major league club. but the deal that
has been completed was so much more
promising In the way of added strength
to the Tigers that it was promptly
closed. The deal was decided on at a
conference between Messrs, Smith, and
McGinnity at Rochester, and was put
into execution by Mr.. Smith.
THE owners of the Newark Club feel
that this proof of their determination
to strengthen the team and put 1t on
a winning basis should nave the effect
of setting at rest all rnmors as to the
sale of the club. Manager McGinnity
Is pleased with the work of Fisher al
short, Inc with the recovery of Louder
from his recent injury the infield 1,
now in better condition than at any
time during the present season." /

As was predicted by the Evening
STAR last June, Joe Agler will become
a member of the Chicago National
,League baseball club at the end of the
Eastern League season. The deal was
closed on Saturday, when Scout George
Huff, of the Cubs, was a spectator at
the double header in. Buffalo and
watched the work of Agler in 0
games. The deal, according to the
story turned over by Secretary Mathi-
son, of the Newark Club. involves the
transfer of two heavy-hitting outfeld-
ers, one of whom will join the team i'm
mediately, and the other in the fall,
The rumor that the Cub were after
Agler was first published in the STAR
on Tuesday. June 10. Nc other local

Cubs also disproves another little argu-

there was a small sum" involved IN
the transaction, from which 1t might be
inferred that Joe McGinnity Intends 70

PEACEFUL CATCHER
BECOMES FURIOUS
WHEN HE'S SPIKED

WATERBURY, Conn, July 31.-Run-
ming to the home-plate in the game be-
tween Springfield and Waterbury yes
terday. Genest, star outfielder of
Springfield, made a ro~ugh-house finish.
He spiked Ahearn. the Waterbury
Catcher, tearing his leg brutally. In a
second Ahearn. the most peaceful play
er of the Waterbury team. was on top
of him, pummeling him soundly with
his fists.
Itttook twenty people to separate the
two. Then Stellar. the Springfield
owner, and Dan O'Neill, the Water
bury owner, engaged in another but
milder set-to. Nearly a dozen were
bruised In the rushes of players and
spectators, and the game got a serious
setback. as both Genest and Ahearn
were led of the field by policemen and
' put In different trolley cars for home.
1t will probably go hard with both when
the league directors meet to decide their
penalty.
