Sailing Ships on the Pacific.

Apparently the foreign-type sailing
ship has practically disappeared for
good from international trade in the
Pacific ocean. The Hongkong harbor
statistics for 1912 return just one
sailing ship entered for that year
the sole survivor of the great clip
per ship" trade of half a century
and more ago. This lone ship, the
large four-master Comet, of the
Standard Oil Company, is the last of
a considerable fleet employed in the
oil trade between the east coast of
the United States and this port.
Some of the other ships in this trade
have been converted into steamers or
motor-driven ships. This last sur
vivor has been sold to German inter-
ests for use in the South American
nitrate trade.
The safling-ship trade in the far
east illustrates it's decline all over
the world. AS late as 1876 sailing
ships comprised one-fourth of the en-
tries in Hongkong, 6SS vessels, or "a
per cent of the total entries, being
recorded for the port that year. In
1886 the number of entries of sail
ing ships declined to 2SS, or only
6.7 per cent of the total entries of
vessels of European type. In 1896
the entries further decreased to 100,
or per cent of the total entries of
such ships. In 1906 only IA sailing
ships were entered, amounting to one
tenth of l per cent of the whole. In
1911 three sailing ship arrivals were
noted, constituting seventeen one
hundredths OF / per cent, and last

Plan Recall of Judge Lindsey,

Denver, Colo, July 5.-The recall
of Judge Ben Lindsey of the juvenile
court is advocated here today in cir
culars mailed to voters by DR.. Mary
Bates, secretary of the Woman's Pro-
tective League. The Juvenile court,
DR.. Bates charges, is protecting de-
spoilers of young girls.
The circular purports to give the
records of "a cases wherein men and
boys were accused of attacking girls.
1t is charged that only 16 of the "a
men and boys appearing before
Jugde Lindsey were punished for as
sault. OF these, it was said, only
four were sent to the penitentiary.
Judge Lindsey, who is lecturing in
the east, wired Denver today that he
welcomed efforts for his recall. He
branded the charges cr ltained in the
circular as lies.

Big Eastern Clubs Want Guarantee
to Play.

Medford, July 4.-Medford is Of
fered the chance to secure a game of
ball between the Chicago White Sox
of the American League and the New
York Giants of the National League
if they will guarantee $3.50 for the
game. The teams will make a tour
of the west after the eastern season
closes and would play in Medford If
the assurance is given that they will
be paid the above sum. They ask
that the money he paid even if the
weather conditions interfere with the
game which presents an obstacle to
the fans who would like to see them
play. The game would be pulled off
some time in October and at that sea-
son of the year a pleasant day might
not be in evidence. There should be
little difficulty in getting the re-
quired amount if game was played
as these teams are the best in the
country and would draw a large
crowd, but whether Medford sports
will feel like guaranteeing the money
with prospect of digging down in
their own pockets if rain spoils the
game is uncertain. There should,
however, be 250 fans who would be
willing to buy ticket at 81 and take
chance on the weather.

ELKS AND MASONS HAVE CHARGE
The Funeral of the Late Ralph II.
Burns Held Sunday Afternoon,
Followed by Interment in Noun
tain View Cemetery.

One of the most impressive fun
erals held in Ashland in years was
that of the late City Attorney Ralph
H. Burns, which took place from the
Elks hall Sunday afternoon. The
services at the hail were conducted
by Ashland lodge, No. 944, B. P. o.

associated with Wesley S. Foster at
Milaca, Mimi, in the practice of law
and in 1908 formed a partnership
with Congressman w. s. Hammond
which lasted until July 1911, when
Brother Burns came to Ashland.
Since his arrival in this city most of
us are familiar with his life and
character. Brother Burns was mar
ried at Easter, 1912, to Miss Cora
Hess of Winona, MINI, who with
baby boy are now left to mourn. In

Struck BY Train i'm Tunnel When
Riding Railroad Speeder and
Terribly Mangled.

klamath Falls, July S.-Struck by
a freight train as he was going
through the tunnel this side of Dor
ris, Ivan Daniels, former leader of
the klamath Falls Military Band,
and a well-known resident of this
city, met a horrible death late Fri
day afternoon. Daniels head and
limbs were severed under the wheels
of the train.
Daniels, who had charge of a sec
ton for the Southern Pacific near
Doris, was on his way to that city
to play for a dance last night, going
on railroad speeder. He was fol-
lowing the passenger train going to-
ward Weed, and did not know that a
freight train had passed it at Doris
The freight trai ncaught the mu-
sician unawares in the tunnel and he
had absolutely no chance for escape.
Coroner Earl WhitiocK went to
Doris this morning for the remains.
The coroner of Siskiyou county will
hold an inquest this afternoon and
the body will be brought to Klamath
Falls this evening.
Daniels has resided here for a
number of years and of late had oper-
ated at the klamath Falls Soda
Works. In addition to this, he di-
rected the band and was active in
local musical circles.
The deceased is survived by a wife
and two small children, and his
mother, who lives in Tacoma.

At a meeting of the directors of
the Citizens Banking & Trust Com

the board, for the reason that he will
be unable in the future to give the
required time and attention to the
duties of the office. At the same
meeting w. M. Policy was elected to
fiji the vacancy. Mr.. Policy has been
stockholder in the bank from the
time it was started and has always
been an interested and enthusiastic
supporter of the banks interests.
Owing to his business experience and
his wide acquaintance he will be
valuable man on the board of direct
ors, and his host of friends rejoice
at this mark of confidence and es-
TEEN shown him.
At the previous meeting of the di-
rectors of the Citizens Banking &
Trust Company M. c. Bressler was
elected to fill the vacancy on the
board caused by the resignation of
C. B. Lamkin, which was made neces-
sary on account of his prolonged alb
sence from the city. Mr.. Bressler
was formerly connected with bank
in Nebraska, and, while he has only
been a resident of Ashland about
three years, is widely and favorably

year the minimum was reached. No
sailing ship of European type is now
engaged in regular trade to Hong
knog. Their discontinuance, even
which time is no element, has become
an economic necessity. Chinese
junks, including some vessels under
foreign flags, are the only sailing
vessels now seen in this, one of the
greatest ports of the world, and even
these are being affected by power
vessels in the shape of the motor
driven launches and boats, which are
commencing to take much of the
river trade in South China away
from them.
The United States still has the
largest fleet of sailing vessels of 100.
tons and over of any nation, accord
ing to Lloyd's Register for 1928,
but the tonnage of registered sailing
vessels covers those engaged in the
foreign and whaling trades, amount
ed to only 312, 1896, as compared with
2,5540,020 tons in 1861, the record
year. The decline in Importance of
the sailing ship in the foreign trade
is evidenced by the fact that in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1912,
slightly over per cent of the ton
mage entering ports of the United
States from foreign countries repre-
sented sailing vessels, while in 1884
such ships made no more than AZ

TARIFF FORCES FIGHT
Administration Must Face One More
Fight on UnderwOod-SimmO
Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 5.-The admin
istratlon tariff forces are facing one
more important fight in their at
tempt to align the democrats in solid
support of the Underwood-Simm
bill. A democratic caucus spent two
hours today debating the question of
rules to bind all the party members
to support the bill and vote down all
hostile amendments in the senate.
Strong opposition from senator's
opposed to free sugar and free wool
prevented any action today. With
only 81 senator's present out of a
democratic membership of 81, the
leaders decided to force the issue and
the caucus adjourned until Monday
afternoon. kilograms were hurried
out tonight to all absent democratic
senators calling them to Washington
for the Monday meeting.
The fight against the binding
pledge developed more strength to-
day than the leaders expected.
Chairman Simmons, however, is con
fident that the caucus Monday will
adopt the unit rule by safe major
ity, pledging all the democrats eX-
cept those who have made other
pledges to their constituents or who
withdraw from the caucus to support
the bill in its entirety.
Nearly all other features have been
completed.

KILLED IN
MOTOR RACE
DON HELMS, FORMERLY OF ASH
LAND, VICTIM AT MEDFORD.
HAD COMPLETED REGULAR RACE
Went On for Fifth Lap and Struck
Another Car-Was Buried Under
Turtle.

Don Helms, son of A. d. Helms,
formerly of Ashland, but now of Med
ford, was almost instantly killed at
Medford the afternoon of the Fourth
of July, just at the close of the auto
mobile race. After the close of the
race, which was won by Perry Ash
craft, young Helms, according to re-
ports, continued around the track
another lap, apparently in an attempt
to establish a record. Some reports
say that his machine skidded when
he went to turn out to pass another
car, other reports that he struck a
car from Central Point. All accounts
agree that he was running about 60
miles an hour when the accident oc-
Cured. The car rolled over and over
and came to rest with him under it.
He lived about 20 minutes after the
accident, and it is reported that
every bone in his body was broken.

accident, and it is reported that
every bone in his body was broken.
The Medford Mail Tribune has the
following account of the accident:
Donald Helms, the 21-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Helms, living
at 219 North Central avenue, driving
an underslung 50-horsepower Ameri-
can, going at so miles an hour, was
instantly killed Friday afternoon in
the Fourth of July automobile race
at the fair grounds, when, blinded
by dust, he struck the Buick car
ahead, breaking an axle, hurting the
car over twice. Newton H. Mark,
the mechanician who rode with
Helms, was badly injured in the
smashup and was taken to the hos
pital, but was able to leave Saturday
and expects to be about next week.
When the car turned over, Mark
crawled out from under the wreck,
shut off the gas and then extricated
his companion, who, frightfully in
jured, died in a few minutes, with
out regaining consciousness. When
the right fore axle snapped and the
car hurtled over, three of the tires
blew out. The break indicates an
old flaw in the steel. The race had
already gone the required five laps
but Helms did not see the signal,
as he was riding in a cloud of dust.
Speaking of the disaster, Mr.. Mark
said:
Il warned Don not to try to pass
anyone on the truns and kept put
ting my hand up on all the turns for
him to slow down and not pass any
one, but he seemed to want to pass
them. We were riding in a continu-
Gus cloud of dust and it was almost
impossible at times to tell whether
we were on the road or not.
when we passed the starting
point on the last lap l remarked to
Don that we had gone five laps and
to slow down, but he said, They're
still going meaning the Buick, the
car which he collided with, and he
started to speed up.
cat the turn where the accident
occurred there is little raise on the
outer edge, and when we struck this
it turned the car into the Buick and
we struck them about midway, caus-
ing our car to turn around. Don
lost control of the car and at this
moment 1 threw my feet into the air,
causing me to roll out of the car.
Our car made complete somersault
and made about three-fourths of an
other turn. l rushed up to the car
and pulled Don out, he still being
in the seat.
II find no fault with anyone for
the accident, but they should have
allowed our car to start first. on ac-
count of the drivers youth and in
experience"
Mrs. Helms, the young mans moth
er, was witness to the disaster and
is Frustrated by grief.
The funeral will be held Monday
morning at 10 o'clock from the fam
lily residence, 219 North Central,

The results of the races were:
