"She wa,s Just a little girl," said Cap tain Terrell, "and she had gone to tako some cruel to a sick -woman In a tene ment, when she heard a whistle for a po liceman. She went outside and saw a po liceman standing looking at a crowd a block or so away, where a sailor was beating a woman. She asked the police man why he didn't go, and he told her to go and stop the trouble herself, be cause if he went there would iust have to be more clubbing done. When the cap tain pushed through the crowd she found a big, burly sailor beating a woman who had a baby In her arms." " 'Don't strike that woman again,' or dered the little captain, and the man stopped, merely to argue with her, and the unfortunate woman slipped away." Miss Terrell says that there Is great op portunity for Salvation Army work In Portland, but that as the work is sup ported entirely by voluntary contribu tions, and high rentals must be paid, the army needs as much outside help as possible. After Miss Terrell had finished speaking tea was "served, and. a pleasant half hour was spent In conversation. OFFICERS xX,ONGSHOREMEN'S PACIFIC COAST BRANCH. President J. A. Madsen, of Portland. Vice-President J. C Williams, of San Francisco. Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Arthur, of Portland. PROGRAMME FOR BANKERS How They "Will Spend Their Time In the Xortbwest. The International Longshoremen. Ma rine and Transport Workers Association "placed themselves on record yesterday as Sing one of the first labor unions to ke steps protecting the employers from Incompetent labor. One of the most rea teonable complaints against the union has been that heretofore a member of one tef the lower crafts could present his nlon card at another port and there be glven work which he was incompetent to (perform, and which he would not have (been given in his home port- The em iployers, being anxious to avoid friction Vwlth the union, were thus forced to pay teuch a man a higher wage than he was h-eally entitled to, and naturally blamed khe union for the poor service rendered. tflhe association yesterday passed resolu tions forbidding the members of any ,-craft or class of longshoring work to tenter another craft In any but his home ;port. As the regulations now stand a iroving longshoreman, lumber handler or cargo stower cannot leave Portland tarmed with hl3 membership card and secure In San Francisco, for example, fwork which he had never done in Port Hand. An equally important measure passed "yesterday was the organization of a Pacific Coast branch of the National as sociation, with headquarters In Portland, ij. A. Madsen, of Portland, was elected president; J. C. Williams, of San Fran cisco, vice-president; Thomas Arthur, of Portland, secretary and treasurer. An ex ecutlve board of five members was also chosen consisting of: Messrs. McKevitt, of San Francisco; Morrison, of Seattle; Waters, of San Diego; Gadsbey, of Vic toria, and Pease, of Tacoma. . The committee on law was authorized to draw up a constitution which will be 'submitted to the affiliated local unions of the various ports. A per capita tax will be levied to sustain the headquarters hn Portland and to pay the salaries of the president and secretary. A paid or jganlzer will be appointed to complete the iwork of forming new local unions and Jto look after the interests of the asso ciation In general. ' The executive board was ordered to bring about a uniform scale of wages in jell the ports on the Coast, and each local mnlon mu3t report its scale, that an average may be struck and the same rates established. This plan gives the (union much influence with the employers lend converts it into a remarkably power ful organization. Todav the labors nf t.hft mppHnt tcHI foe ended and the principal business per formed will be the reading of all resolu tions passed that amendments may be ndded if desired. The executive board will remain in session for several days and draft the constitution and by-laws, i which will at once be sent to the local "unions. The next meeting will be held In San Francisco in October. 1903. "Both President Keefe. of the interna tional body, and the officers of the new oranch wish to show the people that they ihave the employer's Interest In mind." Bald Secretary Arthur, of Portland, last evening. "We also wish to thank the people of Portland for their sentiments in regard to the formation of the Pacific fjoast branch. &ORSE STARTS RUNAWAY pitched "With Two Mules, He Goes Clattering: Through Chinatown. Two .mules and a horse got themselves into trouble yesterday afternoon on Lower Yamhill street. The three were hitched to a heavy brick wagon, and the outfit "was proceeding decorously across Third street, when the double-tree pin pulled out jano let the trees down against the ani Jnals' legs. In the middle was the horse. Bnd his sensibilities bad already been out traged by being put between beasts of Jdoubtful pedigree. When the heavy gear jwnacked his, heels there was no time lost.

The horse was helped to 3fcls feet, and the mules -disentagled. Apart !from a few scratches, none of the animals vaa the worse for the experience, but the Qiarness and gear were in a state that provoked vociferous comment from the fcriver. The mules tooK his language de murely, but the horse became again ob etreperous, and had to be quieted forcibly ;ffhe bricks were unhurt. KWOMEN'S ALLIANCE MEETS Ipaptaln Alice Terrell Gives Address on Snlvation Army. The Woman's Alliance of the Unitar ian Church held its first Autumn study (hour yesterday afternoon in the parlors J of the church. After the business meet- i Ing, which began at 2 o'clock, Mrs. R. W. ! Wilbur introduced Captain Alice Terrell 'ot the Silvation Army, who spoke very j entertainingly for an hour on incidents tend methods of Salvation Army work. Miss Terrell first told of the origin of the Salvation Army In the East End of I .London, 35 years ago, and of its subse- t V. , - , tiueui. giuwm iiiiu Butueos unucr me leadership of the founder. General Booth T "There are great numbers of the work iingr people." said Miss Terrell, "who have ,a feeling that the churches are antago- 'nistlc to them, but it is not so with the I Salvation Army. There is something free land easy about the Salvation Army serv ice that appeals to them. They like to come Into the meetings because they can Just drop In at any time and go out when "The drum, which is no doubt distract Ing to many of you. first came into use to attract people to the hall and to mark time for the army as It marched." Captain Terrell stated that an average of 5000 drunkards were reclaimed yearly by the efforts of the army, and related some very interesting Individual cases. One story was of a young Salvation Army captain who stopped a drunken sailor who was beating a woman, and BEER SOLD AFTER 1 A. M.? THAT'S THE QUESTION IX THE SA LOON CLOSING CASES.

Says He Did Xot Break Law-Was There Froth or STot? It was liquor dealers' day at the Munic ipal Court, yesterday. Cases against John Shlenk, A. Leswig, Jake Hahn and F. Colfelt were heard, on charges of having violated the ordinance relating to saloons, and requiring that saloons must be kept closed between the hours of 1 A. M. and 5 A M., and that beer must not be sold or given away in these places during that time. After hearing evidence in the cases against Shlenk, Leswig and Colfelt, the Municipal Judge took-the cases under advteemeht, Hahn did not appear, arid his bail of 525 was declared forfeited. Evidence was first taken in the case against Shlenk, one of the proprietors of the Quelle Saloon, Sixth and Stark streets. "Las Sunday morning at 1:50 o'clock I went to the Quelle, and entered through the side doorway on Stark street," testi fied Police Sergeant Church. "I went into the restaurant portion, a'nd saw four men seated at a table. They were eating ELECTED PRESIDENT PACIFIC COAST BRANCH INTERNATIONAL LONGSHOREMEN J. A. MADSEX, OF POR.TLAXD.

'I will talk about the subject if my identity Is not revealed," said a police official, last night. "There are all sorts of 'cranks bothering the Mayor to do this and that at the present time, and if they succeed in persuading him" to half of what they advise, we shall have Port land the deadest and quietest town on the Pacific Coast.' Let them try stop ping street-cars, closing up drug stores Sundays, and a few other radical meas ures. As a result, we shall have such a radical change, the other way, that there will be an open town, like Seattle. Every thing will go then. Business men, the real taxpayers, will have something to say as to the manner In which the city ought to be run, so that additional reve nue ought to bo derived from it." SOON TO PAY PENSIONS. Government Will Put Indian War Veterans on lloll. Pension payments by Uncle Sam to In dian War veterans will begin probably In December. The amount each veteran will get is ?S a month from June 27, 1902. It win dc a survival anu not a msaDimy pension, v and will be awarded to officers and enlisted men, who' were in the serv ice, or to their widows; provided, that such widows have not remarried. About 1500 claims have been filed in the Pension Office at Washington. About GO veterans of the Cayuse War of 1847-8 are still liv ing. Most of these survivors are in Wash ington. One has been heard from in Flo rida and another in Missouri. Since the 'organization of the veterans, proofs of service have been acquired, which would otherwise have been difficult to obtain, The act of the last Congress granting the pensions was an extension of the moasure which gave pensions to survivors of the Black Hawk, Creek, 'Cherokee and Seminole Wars. It is as follows: Be It enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Amer lea In Congress assembled, That the provisions. limitations and benefits of the act entitled "An act granting pensions to survivors of the Indian wars of 1832 to 1842, Inclusive, known as the Black Hawk War. Creek War, Cherokee dis turbanccs, arid the Seminole War," approved July 27, 1802, be, and the same are hereby, ex tended, from the date of the passage of this act. to the surviving officers and enlisted men.

SO bankers .and cap italists of the East as Invited guests. Friday afternoon they will go to Oregon City and will Inspect all the present lines of the Oregon Water Power & Rail way Company. Saturday they will go over the route of projected lines of the company, and Sunday the visitors will remain In Portland. Monday they will be given an excursion down the Columbia River to its mouth on the Bailey Gatzert, and that night they will be taken to Puget Sound, where they will spend Tues day, returning to Portland Tuesday night. Wednesday night they will be given a banquet at the Portland Hotel, which Manager Bowers says will be about the finest thing of the kind ever seen In Port land. Local bankers will also be guests at this dinner and there will be a few others, the Governor .of ,Oregon and the Mayor of Portland among them. Thursday the special excursion will leave for the East, going over the O. R. & N. to get the benefit of the scenery of the Columbia Gorge and a glimpse of the diversified resources and industries and scenes of Eastern Oregon. WAR ON UNCLEAN COOPS Hereafter the Snnilay Clilclten Mast Be Wholesome. The Sunday chicken will hereafter be officially-inspected. The Oregon Humane Society for the chicken and Health Offi cer Blersdorf for the public have so agreed. As a first tcp Secretary Sheehan and Dr. Ble'rsdorf made the rounds of the markets yesterday and the dirty coops and generally unsanitary surroundings made a great impression on them. It was dis covered that geese and chickens fare worst and turkeys best. The chickens, according to reports, were frequently In no state to be ueed as food, and In some cases were even diseased. "It Is high time that a change was made," said Mr. Shanahan, "and if we enforce the exist ing laws, there will Tie a great Improve ment. The Humane Society Is deter mined that the public shall be protected and the condition of the fowls bettered," It is understood, that the present laxity has permitted chickens dead of over crowding to "be served as food. More stringent Inspection. It is hoped, will pre vent such a possibility, and to accomplisn their purpose the society and the Health Commissioner are trying to re-enlist the services of a special humane ollicer. Lack of funds compelled the police department to put the former officer on a regular beat. Mayor Williams favors the action of Secretary Shanahan and Dr. Blersdorf and a change in procedure will soon be apparent. READY FOR THE-SALE Of Suits and Overcoats at the Woolen Mills Store. Today begins the great sale of suits and overcoats made by the Brownsville Woolen Mills. The manager says he has overshot his mark and had too many suits made up for the size of the store, and that the best way to reduce the great piles of fine suits and overcoats is to cut prices and sell them. Today $10 will get a regular ,$13 suit, and $15 will get the regular $20 suit. Twelve dollars and fifty cents will be the price of 100 overcoats- just made up to sell at $17 50. They are the new stylish cut andlnade from the finest Oxford overcoat goods. The high standard of Brownsville cloth has been more than kept up, and now that the suits are being made-up in such excel lent style by high-grade tailors, any nun can well be proud to wear a suit of Ore gon production. The store has moved from the old location on Third street to Washington street, between First and Second. containing beer in front of them. There was no disorder." "Did you see anyone pour out the beer?" asked Lawyer A. R. Mendenhall, who rep resented the defendant. "I did not." "Was there froth on the beer?" There was a broad grin on the faces of most of the spectators, as Church hesitated in his answer, and he admitted thnt he did not look very closely into the steins. "If the Sergeant saw the froth on the beer, we must assume that the beer was- served after I o'clock A. M." insisted Deputy District Attorney Gaten3. "How long do you expect froth to re main on beer, anyway?" asked the other lawyer, but Mr. Gatens wisely did not enter Into a discussion on this learned question, contenting himself with re marking: "We will leave that to a beer expert." "The doorway through which Church entered Is not the doorway to the bar room," insisted Mr. Mendenhall. "I am one of the proprietors of the Quelle saloon," teeSifled John Shlenk. "Last Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, there was nobody in our barroom. I was In the office counting up the cash. 1 did not give anybody beer after 1 o'clock, and no beer was served across . the bar after that time. I do not pay a restaurant li cense. All liquor served in the. grillroom must come from the bar." Julius Adler testified that he was in the grillroom Sunday morning, and found it impossible to get beer after 1 o'clock. "The barroom was locked and the lights were out when the Sergeant arrived," stated Richard Bolen. a waiter. " a'o per son got beer after 1 o'clock. I told the customers who were there at that time, if they wished something to drink, that they must drink water or coffee." "This Court will have to Inquire Into two points: What constitutes a saloon? Was that saloon open for the purpose of selling .drinks, after 1 o'clock A. M?" remarked. Municipal Judge Hogue, "The ordinance Is broader than the complaint In this case. The defendant cannot be convicted unless the grillroom is a part of the saloon. It Is not necessary to prove that beer was sold there after 1 o'clock. The defendant pays a saloon license, but' admits that he does not pos sess a restaurant license. That may mean that the word saloon covers the whole Quelle premises." Leswlg's case was next taken up, and Policeman Xel3on testified that he ar rived outside Leswlg's saloon on Seven teenth street near Pettlgrove. Sunday morning at 1:50 o'clock, and saw three or four men standing at the bar. "There were glasses and bottles on the bar," went on the officer. "I tried two doors and they were both locked, but in the inter val the customers escaped through the third door." Leswig testified In defense: "I was In my saloon counting up my cash, and had closed up at 1 o'clock. I did not sell beer after that time." In testifying against Colfelt, Police man Gibson stated: "I went to Colfelt's place. Third and Flanders streets, Sun dav morning at 1:25 o'clock, and saw sev eral men drinking there. The main door was open. I did not notify Colfelt to close, as I could not find him wnen 1 called first, but I left word for him." "I was not ordered to close, and -did not know anything about it," insisted Colfelt. "I want to call Your Honor's judicial knowledge that Colfelt has Invariably closed his saloon at midnight; - the order to close at 1 o'clock will not cause any hardship In bis case," argued Lawyer A. M. - Wolf, who appeared for Colfelt. "I want to remind our legal friend that this court has no judicial knowledge of the closing of saloons," remarked the Judge, smiling. PORTLAND-CHICAGO.

T MAJOR NEWELL IN TROUBLE Former East Side Resident Chnrged With Cruelty to Children. Formerly prominent on the East Side, Major Clqero Newell Is reported to be In serious trouble In Seattle. He Is the head of an Industrial school in North Seattle, and twice before. It is said, he has been warned against practicing cruelty on the .little ones In his charge. On Tuesday last a boy aged 8 was found by the workmen on Schwabacher's dock crying because he could not find nls ratner, who Is employed on the steamer Bertna Investigation showed that the lad carried on his ankles a heavy chain which had chafed the flesh severely. The police were notified, and took care of the boy pend ing an examination. It appears that the boy was placed by his mother in M3jo NewelPs school, and, being In torture from an ulcerated tooth, ran away to escape the gibes of his classmates. He was caught and put In chains. By the connivance of another boy he again escaped, with the result that the matter Is now In the hands of the police, and Mr. Newell will have to explain his action to the authorities. While resident In this city Major Newell was- well known In Grand Army circles, He conducted an undertaking establish ment on Grand avenue and East 'Wash ington for several years. His residence was at Hunterts station. IS THIS TH REFORMERS' PLAN Everything to Be Closed Sundays, Except the Churches? There is a well-defined rumor thnt civic. reformers have hired a lawyer to start a crusade looking to the abolition of cigar machines throughout the city, the closing of liquor saloons Sundays, the stoppage of street-cars Sundays, and the closing of all drug stores, Sundays, except the drug departments.

Senator Hanna wants his party to "stand pat," and believes that the tariff Is just right as It is. He speaks of re vision as a .very remote possibility, but humoring the Idea for a moment declares that the Republicans are the men for tne task Senators Lodge and Foraker give the Impression that revision Is not so vision ary, but are equally earnest in declaring that Codlin, that is to say the Republican party, is the particular party that should, be Intrusted with the work. Mr. Foraker even goes so far as to urge that it is in keeping -with the party's policy to reduce high rates of duty after the establish ment of an industry as rapidly as its de velopment and the cheapening of Its prod ucts might 4llpw. and to promise for some Indefinite period such reductions as changed conditions may demand.

But the time fpr action on reciprocity treaties arrived some years ago, and the treaties have been in a state of suspended animation ever since. In the meantime, moreover, there has developed a positive demand for a reduction of high duties among Republicans as well as among Democrats, which makes the reference to the treaties malapropos. For their neglect certainly gives no assurance of action of any sort, so that Mr. Foraker's vague ness comes to much the same thing as Mr. Hanna's frankness. Still, Republicans should understand that If they encourage the idea of re vision they will not be abe to persist in a plan of eternal. postponement. They are now bound to do the job themselves lest It be turned over to the enemies of protection. OX TO WASHIXGTOy. September 29 and 30 the Rio Grande Lines will sell tickets to Washington, D.
