THE MORNING OTiEGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 190f. GRAND OFFICERS HERE HEAD OF B'NAI U'ltlTH VISITS " PORTTjAXD. Is on an Offlclnl Visit, and Is Ac coinpantcd by the Grnnd Orn- tor Objects Explained. George Samuels, of Oakland, Cal., grand president of the Independent Order of B'nal B'rlth for the fourth district, com prising California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Ari zona, arrived In the city yesterday on an official visit to the four local lodges of the order. Accompanying Mr. Samuels was Dr. M. Friedlander, grand orator, who also lives at Oakland. Grand President Samuels Is Assistant District Attorney of Alameda County, California, and is also a representative to the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias, from the grand lodge of Califor nia. After leaving Portland he will go to Washington and Montana, and visit the lodges of the order there. .The member ship in Mr. Samuels' district Is about 2200, or a little less than one-tenth of the total membership of the order in the "United States. Last night the four local lodges of the B nai B'rlth held a joint meeting, and tendered a reception to Mr. Samuels and Dr. Friedlander, both of whom made ad dresses. The objects and purposes of the order of B'nai B'rlth were explained to an Orego nian reporter yesterday by Dr. Fried lander, who said: "The order is a child of this country. It originated here, but has since spread to foreign countries. The Jewish people recognize that this is an institutional gov ernment. They felt the need of a univer sal organization. Thus the Independent Order of B'nai B'rlth sprang Into exist ence. Its objects are two-fold: (1) phil anthropic, and (2) self-protective. "The philanthropic work of the order consists in mutual aid and assistance in time of sickness or death, for which there are special funds. There are also special funds for the maintenance of charitable institutions. The self-protective feature of the or der, embracing the higher ideal of fra ternity, consists of concentration and con solidation of the Jewish Influences of the country. Among Its objects is to bring a closer understanding with our fellow-citizens at large, and a higher conception of American citizenship among our own peo ple." Grand President Samuels supplemented Dr. Frjedlander's statement by saying that one of the principal objects of the order in later years has been to find places for Jewish emigrants, so that they may become self-supporting and In no case become a burden upon any commu nity. Moreover, he said, the order alms so to place these immigrants that their presence may net be particularly notice able in any one place. The Portland lodges, following out this plan, have dis posed of 2S Immigrants within the past year. There is an Insurance feature to the order also, but it is of secondary Import ance, and membership in it is not obliga tory upon members of the order. Mr. Samuels expressed himself as being highly pleased with Portland, and Im pressed with Its wonderful commercial ad vantages. This is his first visit to this city. WIDENING VANCOUVER AVE. Spirit of Progress on the Bast Side Is Growing News Notes. Initial steps were taken last evening to ward the circulation of a petition for the widening of Vancouver avenue to 70 feet, north from Morris to Alberta street, from which point the county has jurisdiction and from which the avenue is already widened. Vancouver avenue was widened between Russell and Morris streets to 70 feet several years ago, and it was hoped to carry the wide street line through to Alberta street at that time, but the pro ceeding was not carried out. It Is asserted by those having the matter in hand that there Is little, if any, opposition. A pre liminary canvass has been made in the way of a feeler, and the result seems to justify the hope that the widening can be accomplished. Simultaneously with this movement, also, is the assurance that the county will improi'e its portion of Van couver avenue: Accepted Mayor Roire's Suggestions. At a meeting of Grand avenue property-owners, held last evening at Justice Vreeland's office, it was decided to pro ceed along the lines suggested by Mayor Rowe. to sign a petition containing a special promise to pay the assessment for the work. W. Xu Boise was made chairman. He stated the object of the meeting, and said that the Improvement of Grand avenue is highly Important to the East Side. Mr. Boise further said that the Hawthorne property is ready to sign the petition with the proviso sug gested by the Mayor. Councilman Holbrook made a short talk, and then Mayor Rowe was called on. The Mayor explained that he con sidered the petition the only means of getting an improvement on Grand avenue under way. The City Engineer, he said, had prepared estimates of the cost of re planklng the street, and he would guar antee that the cost should not exceed the figures. Under no .conditions would the Board of Public "Works let a contract that would burden the property-owners with an excessive assessment. It was then moved and carried that the plan be adopted and that a committee of property-owners be appointed to cir culate the petition. T. S. West, A. W. Lambert and H. H. Newhall were ap pointed on this committee. On a former petition there were enough signers to have forced the Improvement between Bel mont and East Burnslde streets, and It is hoped to secure many more. Councilman Holbrook suggests that sur faced plank be used In making this Im provement. He holds that It will last better and provide a much better street. Criticism of the Itontes. Criticism of the streets selected for cycle paths on the East Side is coming in, now that the report was made to the Cycle Association. One change already has been made. Schuyler street has been dropped and Weldler street substituted. Objection also Is urged to the use of Milwaukie street, and It urged that East Ninth street from Holgate should be sub stituted. It is urged that If the path be built on Milwaukie street It will endanger school children attending at the Brooklyn building. The reason Milwaukie street north from Holgate street was selected was because it connects with the path on East Twelfth which in turn connects with the proposed path on East Clay street If a path be built on East Ninth street It will have to come to Ellsworth, on Ells worth to East Eighth, and on East Eighth to East Clay street. This Is certainly an excellent route and superior to Milwaukie street, but the difference in the cost of construction Is between $1000 and $1500. The committee endeavored to lay out a harmonious system connecting with the bridges and outside paths, to be built In the future at the least possible expense. 920,000 Monument to Captain Clark. W. J. Peddicord, P. Chappelle Brown and Professor Tousley compose the committee of the University Sub-Board of Trade, ap pointed to take In hand the proposed monument to the memory of Captain William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805. It is proposed to raise 520.000 for this monument. Of this sum the State of Oregon will be asked to make an appropriation of $5000, and the General Government will be asked also to donate $5000, leaving $10,000 to raise by some other plan not yet worked out. The committee have opened correspondence with those who started the Floyd movement to get details of the monument, cost and other matters In connection with Its erection. Will Award Prizes. This afternoon at Gruner's Hall, East Seventh and Stephens street, at 2 o'clock, the closing exercises of the Humane So. clety composed of the children of the Stephens School will take place. The members of the organization have been writing essays on subjects pertaining to dumb animals, all of which have been read over by 'Mrs. L. W. SItton, of the School Board. She will be present at the meeting- this afternoon and award the prizes to the writers of the, best essays. Emit Side Notes.

Albee, trustee in bankruptcy of B. F. Russell, W. J. Smith, J. N. Russell, J. H. Parelius and B. F. Russell, partners as Russell, Smith & Co., against the Ainsworth National Bank to recover $3299, was tried before Judge Sears yesterday. Russell, Smith & Co. were engaged in business at the Cascade Locks, and were adjudged bankrupt August 25, 1S99. The trustee contends within four months of that time and while the firm was in solvent, the Ainsworth Bank collected $1378 and $1921 due to Russell, Smith & Co. and applied It on Indebtedness due to the bank. Under the bankruptcy act the trustee asserts that the bank must refund this money for the benefit of the creditors of Russell, Smith & Co., whose claims aggregate over $6000. The bank other wise, it is alleged, obtains a preference over other creditors. The defense Interposed was that Russell, Smith & Co. were In the business of sell ing lumber and railroad ties to the Oregon Short Line and the Rio Grande Western Railway companies, and the Ainsworth National Bank advanced moneys to the firm which as security authorized the railway companies to pay the bank; also that Russell, Smith & Co. turned over some notes to the bank, which had a right to collect these accounts and retain the proceeds. The court took the matter under advisement. J. N. Teal and H. H. Northup appeared for the plaintiff and Chamberlain & Thomas for the bank. Court Notes.

John Carlson has filed suit In the State Circuit Court against the Taku Fishing Company to recover for himself and on assigned claims $401 for services per formed between March and May, 1901, in catching salmon. Twenty cents each was to be paid for each King salmon caught and delivered to the defendant. Carlson and the others say they have not received the money. Suzanne D. Jacobs yesterday filed suit in the State Circuit Court against her husband, Morton B. Jacobs, to recover $9500 alleged due on notes. Mrs. Jacobs avers that In New York City, April 5, 1900, the defendant executed to her his note for $6000 for value received; also a note for $3000 on August 4, 1900, and one for $500 made at San Francisco In December, 1900. The notes are payable on demand, and Mrs. Jacobs alleges that she made the demand on Friday last and he re fused to pay. VIEWED WITH DISTRUST. Expert Bookkeeper Sends Advance Notices of His Coming. A man professing to be an expert in devising new methods of keeping busi ness records and accounts has written to Portland merchants from San Francisco saying that he will soon be in this city and that he will be pleased to put his services at their disposal. The business men of this city are somewhat skeptical about the genuineness of his intentions, because about two weeks ago San Fran cisco sent a warning against a man of the same profession. The faker who operated there was a very suave, unctuous indi vidual and flagrantly violated both the trust and the confidence placed in him. What confirms the apprehension of Port land against the gentleman on his way here Is the fact that a local firm which telegraphed to San Francisco yesterday to a business concern given as 'a refer ence in the man's letter, sent back advice to have nothing to do with him. If he is not the same person who abused the con fidence of San Francisco, he will be un fortunate In Portland, for he will find It hard work to dissipate the aversion created against him. 0 P. A. E.'

Fat in Command of Transcontinental Transportation to Earn Money for the Big Lines. Among railroad men yesterday the one subject of discussion was the report from Chicago that under the community of Interest settlement- between the trans continental lines, J. C. Stubbs, now third vice-president, of the Southern Pacific, will be traffic manager for the Harriman group and Darius Miller, second vice president of the Great Northern, traffic expert' for the Hill group.-As the life blood of. a railroad is its freight, it Is believed that the traffic arrangements would be put in the hands of men who J. C. Stubbs. who is to he trnfflc ex pert for Harriman's railroads. combine mastery of detail with Intimate knowledge of territory. Stubbs and Miller are accounted the money-makers for the roads with which they are now con nected, and that will be their assignment In the new positions. Both started on the ground floor of railroad life, and have worked their way up through merit. Huntington advanced Stubbs because he reposed the utmost confidence in him, and Hill has pushed Miller up for the same reason. Local railroad men Interpret the appointments to mean that the transcon tinental will reduce rate-making to a science and turn every dollar Into its proper channel the company's coffer. Mr. Stubbs easily ranks first among the traffic managers of the United States. He Is a tall, slender man, forceful In char acter, and when he undertakes anything he calls to his aid an abundance of en ergy. He Is the money-maker of the Southern Pacific, and it was for money that Huntington ran the road. Mr. Stubbs was born in Ashland, O., 54 years ago, and began his railroad career as clerk when he was 22. In 1870 he was appointed chief clerk in the general freight office of the Central Pacific, at Sacramento. Twelve years ago he was appointed gen eral traffic manager. The crowning event of his career was his victory in the cele brated Canadian Pacific arbitration case. In 1898. It was In this contest, one of the greatest in the history of American transportation, that his fund of detail stood him In, good stead. The question was whether the Canadian line was en titled to differentials on business between San Franclscb and the East. The Can adian was a sharp thorn In the Southern's side, and Huntington wanted It beaten so badly that It would have to retire and leave the rich California field all to him. Stubbs managed the American side in the tryout before a board of aribtration and won hands down. From that time on Stubbs could have almost anything he wanted from the Southern Pacific. In his new post he will virtually be Harriman's main reliance. Mr. Miller is not so well known among Portland railroad men, as he has visited the city but once. Those who are -acquainted with him say he is a prince among men, and that what he does' not know about handling traffic would not make a very large rate card. With Stubbs and Miller in command of the railroad sit uation at Chicago, the business that will be missed in the round-up will not amount to much. They will be expected not only to look out for the revenue of the transcontinental, but so to satisfy the shippers that there will be a let up in the demand for the Nicaragua Canal. It Is no secret that the big lines are against the canal. They want the long haul on freight with export from Port land, San Francisco and Seattle, and are against shipping It from Atlantic and gulf ports through the canal to Asia. Mr. Miller was 42 years old In April. His career has been a succession of shifts what railroad men call quitting for a raise from one line to another, each time bettering his condition and moving a peg up the line. He began wo'rk at the age of 18 in 1877 as stenographer in the general freight office of the Michigan Central. After two and a half years of taking notes and putting them into form on a typewriter, he branched out and went to the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern as clerk in the freight of fice. From February, 1881 to October, 1883, he was chief clerk to the general man ager of the Memphis & Little Rock, and then for nearly four years general freight and ticket agent. From June, 1887 to De cember, 1890, he was with the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas, for two years as gen eral freight and passenger agent, and for a year and a half as traffic manager. From this line he went to the Queen & Cres cent as traffic manager, and then to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, first as traf fic manager and then as vice-president. James J. Hill picked him up in Novem ber, 1S98, and made him second vice president of the Great Northern. Miller and Stubbs know every foot of territory west of the Mississippi and much of that east of the river. CHANGED THE CLASSIFICATION. Rates on Cotton Fabrics Will Be Higher. NEW YORK. June IS. The Journal of Commerce says: After July 1 shippers of dry goods, or, more strictly speaking, cotton fabrics, will have to pay higher freight rates to and from all points reached by the Southern railroads. This news will be received with much sur prise, in view of ie fact that only a few days ago the Southern classification com mittee promulgated a new schedule con taining many changes from the former classification, which took effect yesterday. The most Important! change, so far as dry goods interests are concerned, was the new provision relative to shipments of cotton fabrics. Under this provision all such goods were to be shipped at fifth class rates. Without any warning, however, the Southern roads, through the classification committee, have Issued a ruling to the effect that on and after July 1 all such goods must be rated fourth class, or, In other words, one whole class higher" than at present. The freight rate on the basis of a haul from New York to Atlanta, Ga., Is 73 cents per 100 pounds for fourth class and 60 cents on fifth class. The difference between fourth class and fifth class rates to other Southern points is about the same. Dry goods interests have feared that the Southern railroads, If the latter granted their requests to make a change in the classification of cotton fabrics, would advance the rate by' placing. these goods In a higher class. When the' new classification was issued recently, how ever, leaving the goods in flfth.-class, -as desired by shippers, It was thought the matter was settled. The' fact that the Southern railroads have made this change has been announced by Commissioner Mc Carthy, of the New York Freight! and Transport Bureau. TRAFFIC OTHER THAN GRAIN. 'Varied Resources "of the Territory Covered by the Union Paciflc. Wall Street Journal. So far as crops are concerned, Union Pa cific lines run through a desirable terri tory. Its lines are located right between the corn and the Winter wheat belt on the south and the Spring" wheat territory on the north; A failure in' the corn crop would affect the tonnage originating in Kansas and Nebraska more than a fail ure of any other one crop. Any serious damage to Spring wheat would affect the company tonnage indirectly. After passing into Wyoming the great wool and livestock and the mining regions are reached. Along the Central Pacific the local freight consists largely of livestock and mining products until the great fruit produclng country Is reached in Califor nia. The area contiguous to Oregon Railroad & Navigation and Oregon Short Line is noted for the production of minerals, In cluding gold, silver and copper, besides being a large producer of livestock and wool, and on the extreme west the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company pene trates the lumber regions of Oregon. It is evidence that Union Pacific, as well as the rest of the granger roads, does not de pend upon crops for its tonnage to any thing like the extent it did a few years ago. SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION. Commissioners to Determine Grade Crossings at Cnnemah. OREGON CITY, June 18. It Is stated here today tht Judge McBrlde yesterday in Portland appointed City Engineer Chase and A. F. Sears, of Portland, and Henry Meldrum, of Oregon City,, as com missioners to determine the grade cross ings in Canemah in the litigation be tween the Portland City & Oregon Rail way Company and the Southern Pacific. An effort has been made to have the dispute arbitrated, but, so far as known, the appointments have not been made. Mr. Chase said last night that both rail roads had asked him to serve as commis sioner, but he declined. He does not think he has been appointed contrary to his .wishes. New Brunswick Trafllc Arrangement NEW YORK, June 18. For a year or more, says a Montreal dispatch to the Times, the Canadian Pacific and Inter Colonial Railways have differed over traf fic originating east of St. John, N. B. The Canadian Pacific Railroad insisted on the long haul from St. John, but the Inter-Co'.onlr.l officials would not consent, declaring that that company was bound by its agreement to hand over west-bound freight to the Grand Trunk at Montreal. On account of this dispute, the Canadian Pacific transferred the bulk of Its Winter port business from St. John to Boston. The Canadian Pacific has now issued a notice that it will not accept freight on the Inter-Colonial except to its terminus, at St. John, or Bay of Fundy ports and points reached therefrom by the Dominion Atlantic Railway. The Canadian Pacific management state that this is the result of an agreement with the Inter-Colonial. Railway Agents in Convention. PITTSBURG, June 18. About 200 dele gates were In attendance today when President W. H. Mills, of Ohio, called to order the fifth annual convention of the National Association of Railway Agents. WHENCE THE "SOUNDS?" News Note of a Fishing Industry That Creates Inquiry Here. A statement In the news from Astoria, published yesterday morning, to the ef fect that the entire force of Schmidt & Co. (cold-storage men) were at work Mon day drying sturgeon sounds, to be used in the manufacture of isinglass, has caused some wonderment here. The ques tion, where did Schmidt & Co. get the "sounds" mentioned? Out of strugeon, one would naturally suppose; but section 1 of an act of the Legislature passed Feb ruary 18. 1899, provides: Hereafter It shall not be lawful for any per son or persons to take, capture, kill, or have In their possession after the same has been taken, captured or killed, any sturgeon, be tween tho first day of March and the first day of November in each and every year, under a penalty of $20 for each and every sturgeon so taken, captured, killed or had unlawfully. Section 2 of said act limits the lawful size during the open season to four feet in length. The passage of this law for the protec tion of sturgeon was rendered necessary by Schmidt & Co., who came here from Chicago a few years ago and waged such a war against the sturgeon of the Co lumbia that these fish were practically ex terminated. The lower river, the middle river and the upper river were swept clean, and the fish were followed away up the Snake River and as far as practic able entirely cleaned up. Now It is not allowed to catch sturgeon between March 1 and November 1, and it is very seldom that a sturgeon is seen in the market here, although there is great demand for them. A few days ago a large one, a regular old-time boy, weighing 670 pounds, was re ceived by a dealer here. It is not known where it came from, but it is said that it was accidentally killed and was too valuable to be allowed to go to waste. It was brought up Front street in a wagon, the part in the wagon being covered up, but the "tall hung down behind" nearly to the ground. There was enough roe or "caviar" taken from it to pay for the fish twice over, and the carcass had been cut into chunks and shipped away before any officer heard of its arrival -here. Inter ested persons are anxious to learn where Schmidt & Co. procured the sturgeon sounds they were drying the other day. NEEDLEWORK GUILD. Branch for Portland Effects Perma nent Organisation. Monday afternoon a meeting was called at the home of Miss Failing for the pur pose of organizing in Portland a branch of the Needlework Guild of America. Eighteen women were present. Mrs. Alex Bernstein, who with Mrs. George L. Story has been Instrumental in the organiza tion, acted as temporary chairman, and stated the object of the guild is to col lect and distribute new, plain and suit able garments to meet the great need of hospitals, homes and other charities.

The committees on music and parada for the Fourth of July celebration held a Joint meeting yesterday afternoon lntha omce 01 uenerai tr. u. Gantenbein, Cham--ber of Commerce building, and discussed at some length the details of those two features of the celebration. Propositions were read from bands at Salem, Eugene, McMinnville, Mount Angel and Frances, the latter town being in Washington. All of the propositions stated that they de sired to bring their band to Portland on the Fourth if suitable arrangements can be made. No definite action was taken toward accepting any of the propo sitions, and it Is likely that they will be tabulated and then submitted to the gen eral commltee for final determination, the sub-committee not caring to assume the responsibility of making definite arrange ments with them. There is a disposition, however, to en gage a number of putslde bands for the .celebration. There is a feeling that to' do so will have a tendency to draw larger crowds into Portland from the towns where the bands are engaged. The mat ter will be thoroughly discussed at the meeting of the general committee to be held. Thursday night. The parade was also given considerable discussion. It was decided to hand up $200 in cash prizes for the civic and fra ternal bodies making the best appearance, bringing out the largest number, etc. The parade will be made, up of civic and fra ternal organizations, military companies, including the National Guard, Swiss citi zens, Italian citizens, Native Sons, native-born Chinese, etc. There will also be floats In the parade, and cash prizes will be given for the best ones. Invita tions will be sent out to the various or ganizations within the next few days, and a prompt reply is desired. It Is the In tention to have final arrangements for the parade completed by July 1 If possible. GOOD FOR REPAIR SHOPS. Reckless Bicyclists Furnishing: Plen ty of Business for Mechanics. Bicycle accidents are not uncommon in the business thoroughfares these days, as the wheels are out in more force than ever before. Collisions are frequent, as evi denced by the number of crippled bikes being brought Into the various repair shops of the city, though no one has been reported seriously hurt. The acci dents occur through the forgetfulness of one or the other parties In regard to the rules of the road, and the Innocent usu ally suffer with the guilty. Yesterday afternoon Ralph Almeter, a messenger boy, collided with an older wheelman in Washington street opposite the Hotel Perkins, and was picked up in a dazed and suffering condition, and will probably feel pretty sore for a day or two. The lad was riding behind another, down Washington street, and as he at tempted to pass without previously ring ing his bell, the former wheel turned aside at the wrong time, and there was not room enough for Ralph to turn out, on account of the street-car track. Both cy clists were "unhorsed"; the elder boy's hat and a bandbox he carried, flying for ward some 20 feet. The repair shops ob tained tws Jobs, as a result of the acci dent. COMPARES WELL WITH EAST Good Done for Boys and Girls in Oregon. At the monthly meeting of the directors of the Boys' & Girls' Aid Society, In Judge Gilbert's chambers, Postofflce build ing, yesterday, Superintendent Gardner reported his observations at the 2Sth an nual Conference of Charities and Correc tion in Washington, last month. He stud ied the system of visiting which many states have adopted in connection with the placing out of children. The New York Children's Aid Society requires visits every three months, but Superintendent Gardner thought once a year would answer all requirements, provided tho children are heard from In the meantime. Of work In Oregon he said: I have come to the conclusion that the work of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society compares very favorably with that of many older states, ana I sincerely trust we snail see tne day when It will cover more classes of children than at the present time. In May, 23 children were received and 28 disposed of. On June 1 there were 27 on hand. The next meeting of the directors will be held September 9. FOR THE PIGEON HOLE.

People Q,nlt Coffee and Get Well on PoHtnni Food Coffee. A man in Milford, Ind., says he did not quit drinking coffee because he thought It hurt him, but because he found a morning beverage he liked bet ter in Postum Food Coffee, but to his wonder and surprise, he found in a few weeks all of the old symptoms of sick ness had left him. He had been greatly troubled with his stomach and heart, also with what is called "water brash," and dull head aches, "which made me very irritable and quick tempered." All of these symptoms disappeared and he discovered, in spite of all his previous theories that coffee was really the cause of his troubles, and the leaving off of coffee and taking on Postum Food Coffee brought about a perfect cure. He speaks, also, of Mrs. Josephlene Kelly, living at Elkhart, Ind. Says she was afflicted much as he was. but had be come more emaciated than he. So she quit drinking coffee and took on Postum Food Coffee. She is now a healthy and robust lady and willing to make affidavit that Postum Food Coffee saved her.
