THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1903. THE RATES Effect of Fireboat on Insurance. BUT ONE MAN OBJECTS Surveyor Stone Says Wooden Boat Is Not Good. OTHER INSURANCE HEN SAY1T1S Local Agent As?ree That Portland Should Have 10 Per Cent Rcdnc- tion Wooden Bout ns Good as - ; . Steel to Sanelch Fires. J. C. Stone, surveyor of the Board of Fire Underwriters for this district, is understood to oppose granting a re duction of rates in Portland because the flreboat will he of wood, not steel. .. Local insurance men all agree that a reduction should be granted, as a wooden boat will extinguish fires as well as a rteel boat. A reduction of 10 per cent was prom ised when the city has an adequate fireboat. William Macdonald, manager of tho Lendon & Lancashire on the Pacific Coast, says the wooden flreboat would make veryj substantial reductions in insurance rates on the -river front. "Wood will be the structural material of the flreboat, not steel. And because of the alleged superiority of steel to wood will the Board of Fire Insurance Under writers of the Pacific deny to Portland the benefits which the flreboat should bring to property-owners on the river front? J. C. Stone, surveyor In charge of this district. Pacific Underwriters, is under stood by insurance men to have said that in his opinion a wooden fireboat will not entitle river front owners to the prom ised 10 per cent reduction in rates. Mr. Stone was absent from the city yesterday and an explanation could not be secured. He has said that a wooden boat will not come up to first-class requirements. Such disparagement of the wooden flre boat meets with vigorous dissent all over the city from Insurance agents, steam boat men. Chief Campbell and others. "Wooden Boat Goo.d Klre-Fli?lter. "A wooden boat, said Chief Campbell last night, "can light fire just as well as a steel boat. "When the fight gets too hot for a wooden boat it's too hot for a crew. A steel boat would last longer, but our wooden boat will have equal effi ciency." The flreboat will be first-class In every respect, will have- the best pumps on earth ana" will throw G000 gallons every minute. If Portland had six big fire en gines like the two last added to the de partment, their combined power would not exceed that of the flreboat. "I doubt," yesterday said E. I. Thomp son, of Hartman, Thompson & Powers, Insurance agents, "that nine-tenths of the agents in this city will share Mr. Stone's opinion." And so it turned out "A fireboat of wood," remarked W. J. Clemens, of Clemens & O'Bryan, "will protect property Just as well as a fire boat of steel." "It will fill all requirements," said John Kelly, another agent, "for the next 15 or 20 years, and by that time wo shall need a bigger boat anyhow." "It will pump water," averred- Henry Hewett, one of the oldest men in the local insurance business, ' "Just as fast as a steel boat. Danger of catching fire? "Why more danger than of roasting the crew in a steel oven? Sheath the wooden house with asbestos and galvanized Iron and it's better than steel." Everybody assented ' that a steel boat would be more desirable, chiefly because it would be lighter and would therefore draw less water. Another alleged supe riority was that of durability. The advantages of a wooden boat, as cited, were, first x)f all, lower cost of con struction; next, ease and cheapness of re pairs; next, greater safety In bunting against obstacles, of which there will be many, and last, but not least, the ade quacy of a wooden boat to meet tho pres ent needs of Portland. Fireboat Means Cheaper Insurance. . William Macdonald, of San Francisco, who Is' manager of the London & Lan cashire, and who is one of the oldest un derwriters on this Coast, is In the city. He said that,, while steel is better than wood, a boat of the latter material is far better than no boat at all. He remarked also that the wooden boat will make very substantial reductions in Insurance rates on the river front. Mr. Macdonald did not venture an opinion as to the amount of this reduction, nor did he advert to the promise mjfde by the Pacific Board of Un derwriters, through Alfred Stillman, sec retary of its executive committee, that a fireboat would warrant a reduction in rates of approximately 10 per cent, pro vided the other fire service were kept up to its present efficiency. "No department on this Coast," re marked Chiof Campbell, "can excel ours. And after 11 o'clock at night ours is the best of-all. That's when our 'call' depart ment gives the service of a 'full-paid' de-. partment." Simple BuKlneim Proposition. Mr. Macdonald seemed to appreciate the strong points of the Portland department as well as the weakness on the front. He remarked that It was not for any under writer or agent or surveyor to threaten" a poorly protected city with high rates. "The proper way," he said, "is for the companies. to take conditions as they find them, charge a price commensurate with .the hazards and write or refuse insurance ns they deem produent. Thatfs business; that's common-sense. "The soul of Insurance is business, pure and simple. The public buys; the com panies soil. The public wants tho price as low- as possible: the companies want the price commensurate with the hazards. They adjust their rates to that commen surate price. If the public lessens the haz ards, well and good for both parties. Large, steady business at low prices Is better than small, irregular business at high prices. "The companies charge extra for the want of a fireboat. It's like the grocer who sells flour. If the street Is bad where the customer lives, perhaps the dealer charges 5 cents more. He adapts his price to the cost of doing business. "A fireboat will diminish the cost of pro tecting property with Insurance. How much? That's impossible to say. Wait until you get jour fireboat and the under writers see its efficiency. Material, whether wood or steel, will be one consid eration. How the material Is put together will be another. How the boat Is equipped and manned will be another, and so on. Will Protect Water Front. "Portland needs a good fireboat. Steel is none too. good and wood is far better than none. A wooden boat will afford -very considerable reductions in rates; one of steel might afford more." Mr. Macdonald used to do large business on the front, but ceased to carry lines there several years ago. "And there are a number of companies that won't approach the river nearer than a block," said he. "Portland is the biggest little city in America. It does more business per In habitant than any city I know of. "Your city has wealth, fine buildings and thriving commerce, but over all hangs a peril as by a single thread fire on your river front. Tou might not restore in years what a flreboat in a few minutes could save." Fire as Hot on Steel as Wood. "1 met a prominent citizen," said Chief Campbell, "who insisted that we are going to have a snide fireboat. I asked why. He answered, 'Wood.' Now, anybody who makes that complaint doesn't know what he Is talking about. "If fire gets too hot for a wooden boat, how on earth will It be any cooler on a steel boat for the crew? Fire that will burn the boat will burn flesh. But wooden boats are protected by water Jets and by sheathings of asbestos and sheet Iron. "On my recent trip Eastward I met many experts. Soma preferred wood and more preferred steel. But none said that a wooden boat had less efficiency than the other." Will Pump Water Up Town. Ttie flreboat will render service even where it does not come Into actual con tact with fires. It can pump water back as far as Fourth or Fifth street. The underwriters promised that the reduced rates would apply back to Third street. The fireboat will be as great a safeguard, therefore, back from the river as on the immediate front. Consequently, even if the heat of fires could be endured more by a steel boat a wooden boat would afford much protection. That feature of the question was point ed out yesterday by E. L. Thompson. "Whatever reduces the fire hazard," he added, "redounds to the benefit ofthe public. Any kind of a flreboat, wheuier of wood, steel or asbestos, will reduce hazards and rates. A wooden boat will meet our requirements, though I do not doubt that a steel boat would be more durable." W. J. Clemens said that until recently he used to have a radical opinion that only steel would do. "But I have modlfleQ my opinion," he remarked. "I still think steel would be more economical In the long run, and I believe that our Executive Board, even with its limited funds, could get steel, but a wooden boat will put out fires just as well." HAD TRIED BEFORE Train-Robbers1 Attempt at Corbett Their Second, HARSHMAH TELLS A SECRET SCAVENGERS IN A RIOT. Anton e Bnrklinrdt Gives Driver Cold Bath and Reaents Abase. Through accidentally turning a garden hose upon one of his fellow-workmen at the crematory, yesterday morning, An tone Burkhardt. a garbage-hauler, stirred up a small-sized riot that ended in a gun play and might have resulted in a tragedy had not Special Officer Caswell been on the scene to interfere in the fracas. The gun in the case was wielded by Burk hardt, who secured the weapon from his home, after having been roundly abused by the man whom he gave the Involun tary bath. There were a dozen garbage-haulers on hand at the time. Bad feeling was stirred up Jn the first place by the fact that sev eral of the drivers arrived at the crema tory at the same time, and each insisted upon driving his team inside In advance of the other. Burkhardt was very insistent regarding his rights In this respect, and made especially vociferous objections to having several natives of Russia precede him. He expressed in very strong terms an ardent dislike for the Czar and all his kinsmen. Which caused the native sons of Russia to make derogatory remarks about Wilhelm der Grosse. But Officer Caswell tendered his good offices In re storing peace, and the war of words was dropped until the episode of the garden hose. Burkhardt was running the hose Into his wagon, as Is required by the city ordi nances, when he slipped, and a stream of very cold and very wet water made In stant connection with the form of one of the Russian drivers. "Cut it outskv," yelled the drenched man. As soon as he caught his breath he proceeded to address Burkhardt in rather an Inelegant manner. Several other of the Russian drivers joined in the vitupera tion, and a lively session ensued. Burkhardt mounted his wagon and de Hvered an address. He made a statement which can barely be reproduced, but which was to the effect that he failed to appre ciate tho Russian's fulsome praise and that if the gentlemen present would ex cuse him for a few minutes ho would repair to his homo and secure his trusty llfe-extlngulsher and then make formal reply through that medium. Suiting ac tion to word, he departed. When Burkhardt returned to the scene some minutes later there was a suspicious bulge in his coat over his hip pocket. 'T am a Socialist. I don't care whether I die or not. But Pm going to show you fellows a thing or two," he shouted, fero ciously, and then began drawing his gun. Fortunately, the barrel of his weapon was about the length of an ordinary .field rifle, and Officer Caswell was able to reach him before he could get It all out of his pocket, "Put that gun away," ordered the offi cer. 'Tve let you do all the shooting you wanted .to with your mouth, but when It comes to guns I'm going to draw the line." Officer and garbage-hauler argued the matter at length, and Burkhardt Anally consented to subside and return the weapon to his own fireside. Whereupon the Ruslan drivers returned from the ref uge of a neighboring thicket and a truce was formally patched up. "I don't like this scavenger business with you fellowp. I'm going to resign at once," Burkhardt announced. PERSONAL MENTION. James Bruce, an attorney of Tacoma, is at the Portland. ' A, J.

Fale Signals Used to Stop Train. Xear Clarnle, but in Vain Miner Wished to Use Dynamite, but Others Objected. With dynamite and false signals, the gang which on September 22 attempted to rob the O. R. & N. train at Corbett's sta tion had made another attempt to hold up the same train at Clarnle, a few miles outside the city limits of Portland, three or four days previous to the almost' suc cessful robbery in which Gay Harshman was shot. Such is the story which Harsh man has told the detectives. He cannot remember the exact day. When he was removed from the Good Samaritan Hospital to tho County Jail Monday, Harshman seemed to realize that ounishment for his crimes wasnear, even if he was not called to a higher court. On the day he entered the County Jail he told in weak and trembling tones the story of the first attempt to rob the same train. , How much .Charles Hoehn, the 17-year-old robber brought to Portland Monday, Is Implicated in the previous attempt can not be learned. Tired of visitors' ques tions he would not speak of the matter yesterday, and professed entlro Ignorance. Harshman's story is, in brief, that tho bandits of whom A. E. Miner was .the leader had determined to hold up the train a short distance outside Portland that they might, the more easily lose them selves from sight in the city after the deed had been committed. Therefore they selected a spot near Clarnle station, less than 10 miles outside the city limits, to hold up the train. One of the gang, Harshman does not say who, was sent toward the approach ing train with false stop signals. While the rest of the gang waited upon the top of the high bank ready to fire down upon the train as soon as It slowed down or stopped, the signalman waved the red light, Bnt because the robber was not enough of a railroad man to get upon the right side of the track to signal a train, or for some other reason, the engineer paid absolutely no attention to the warn- mg ami sum ins uuui jiiist uic icu hbul as fast as he could. Twenty pounds of dynamite had been taken out upon the hold-up ' expedition and when the cluster of robbers saw that the train was about to rush past them unmolested. Miner called upon Harsh man to light the fuse to the dynamite and throw the combustible upon the top of the express car as it passed below them. The explosive had been brought to force open a door if necessary, and Harshman says that he refused to obey the orders of the bandit leader because too many passengers would suffer by the explo sion and the consequent sudden stopping of the train. Whllp the passenger-filled train steamed past them ' the would-be train-robbers quarreled among themselves. Miner blamed Harshman for allowing the booty- to slip by them. Harshman returned his hot words and there, upon the top of the cut a few miles from Portland, a hot wrangle took place. Harshman's condition was much worse yesterday and he was unable to speak a word. His wound is not healing as It should and several complications have set in which render his recovery not yet beyond doubt. Superintendent J. P. O'Brien, of the O. R. & N., was asked whether the engi neer of the train who passed the false signals had made any report of the oc currence. "I have heard nothing of It," said he. "No such report was ever made to my knowledge." Inquiry among the motive-power em- ployes of the road discloses a rumor that signals as described were placed upon the track a few nights before the hold-up occurred at Corbett, As the engineer feared he might get Into trouble for running past stop signals, he did not re port it, LOTTERY NOT GAMBLING. Attorney Makes Defense for Chinese Proprietory By technicalities the lawyers for the defense in the Chinese lottery cases are attempting to clear their clients. The first chapter of case No. 1 of the Chinese pro prietors of lotteries arrested two weeks ago, was opened yesterday morning in the Municipal Court, Attacks were made upon tho ordinance prohibiting gambling, while Attorney C. M. Idleman also tried to prove that conducting a Chinese lottery was not gambling, according to the In terpretation he put upon the new city charter. Wing H. Ylck was the lottery proprietor whose case was opened yesterday. A Jury had been Impaneled as will also be tho case in the other trials, for all the 43 lottery men will be tried separately, un less conclusive evidence is early brought out. Because the Auditor had not signed his full title to the ordinance in question, No. 11.536, Attorney Idleman attempted to show that the ordinance was invalid. Auditor of the City of Portland,' is the full address of this official, but this time he had writ ten only, "Auditor." Other minor points of law were raised, and as no progress was made, the caaa was continued until today. Hnsbnnd Refuses to Live With Her. Mary E. Mclntyrc. who alleges that her husband, David F. Mclntyre, deserted her on February 6. 1901. and has refused to return and live with her, yesterday filed suit against him in the State Circuit Court for a divorce. The litigants were married in Portland in November, 1S9S. Mrs. Mclntyre states that she owns a house and lot in her own right in Hart's addition. Mclntyre is now .in Massachusetts. NORDICA COMING OCT. 24. Her Most Recent Triumph at the Metropolitan, Xerr Yorlc. Only a few months ago a signal triumph was achieved by Nordlca, such as placed her far above her competitors on the operatic stage. The patrons of the Metro politan Opera-House, New York, wishing to show their appreciation of her remark able gifts, presented her with a diadem of diamonds, to show unmistakably that to them she was Indeed the "Queen of Song." The appearance of the greatest singer of the day In Portland with .the Metro politan Opera-House orchestra in Its en tirety is a musical treat every one will be glad to hear.
