12 THE MORNING OREGON I AN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 19.03. WILL BE HERETODAY Steamship Algba, Largest Vessel Ever in Columbia. MAKES GOOD RUN UP COAST Will Carry Out the Record Flour Cargo From a Pacific Port-Elba Leaves for the Orient. The British steamship Algoa will be in port today to begin loading flour for the Orient. She made a good run up the Coast from San Francisco, arriving off the mouth of the river at 6 o'clock last night. ZS hours after leaving the California port. She was not expected to show up until this morning. Considering the fact that ehe Is not a fast vessel and the weather has been anything but clear, her showing is a good one. The Algoa Is by far the largest vessel that ever headed for this port, and she will carry out the largest shipment of flour ever sent from a Pacific Coast city. The steamer is of tons net register. 1530 tons larger than the Indrasamho, the biggest of the Portland & Asiatic liners. The Algoa exceeds by 1429 tons the turret steamship lime Branch, which has here tofore held the record for size of vessels visiting Portland. The newcomer was chartered by the Portland & Asiatic Com pany to help relieve the congestion of Oriental-bound freight at this port. She will carry out nothing but flour. It was at first thought she would take about o, 000 barrels, but It Is believed now that at least 10.000 barrels more will go aboard her. The steamer comes here light In her bunkers and will afterward coal up at Comox for the trip across the Pacific In that way there will be more space here for local freight Tho Algoa is so big that when she arrived at San Francisco last Spring with cargo from th eOrient it was difficult to And warehouses with capacity enough to hold the goods. The outward flour cargo of the Algoa will exceed anything ever shipped from Portland, San Francisco or Puget Sound. The record from this port is held by the Indravelli, which early last month car ried out 57,977 barrels. The Shawmut, of one of the Sound lines, has carried 70,000 barrels of flour. PASSED THE METEOR. Disabled Steamer Still ; Unable to Reach Nome. SEATTLE, Oct 22. The steamship Nome City with 475 passengers and about $175,000 In-gold dust arrived from Nome this morning. Captain Z. S. Moore, of the Nome City, went to the aid of the steamship Meteor, which was in distress six miles from Nome, near St Lawrence Island. The Nome City came alongside the Meteor on the morning of October It At that time the Eureka, a sister ship, was also with the Meteor, but the big freighter was un manageable. Captain Moore stayed by the vessel for six hours and then decided to proceed on his way south. The accident to the Meteor was caused in the first place by the breaking of her rudder post Prior to herVerious injury she had lost her rudder and the carpen ter had fixed up a jury rudder. The strain on the rudder post was too great and It broke, strffcing the wheel and smashing It off, and taking a portion of the tail shaft The vessel was then at the mercy of the seas and was brought to anchor. LOOKED FOR SURVIVORS. Neither Columbia nor Alliance Saw Any Wreckage of South Portland. The steamship Columbia arrived last night from San Francisco. As she was leaving her dock at the Bay City Captain Doran was tola of the wreck of the South Portland, and on the way up the Coast he ran close in shore, in the hope that he might fescue some of the shipwrecked passengers or crew. In the vicinity of Cape Blanco the weather was very heavy, but the steamship was run slowly for some' time. Although the Columbia was in much closer than is cuptomary and a sharp lookout was maintained, no sign of wreckage was seen. The steamer Alliance, which arrived last night, was at Coos Bay when the South Portland went down,, and she, too, made the trip up without having sighted any wreckage. SAILOR DROWNS IN COLUMBIA.

The mysterious disappearance of Juicy beefsteaks and various eatables from the refrigerators of the army officers houses on Governor' Island has been solved by the capture of John Linden, a deserter. Ltnden, who was serving a sentence of five years for desertion, made his escape one week ago and was believed to have got away from the Island on a scow. Nev ertheless, a thorough search was made. but it bore no fruit Since then large quan tities of meats and other good things have disappeared nightly from the ice chests in the areas about the officers' houses, and the affair was stirring up much excite ment about the post when a captain, after searching every foot of the island, entered the greenhouse and discovered a trapdoor in the floor. He sent the keeper Into the hole and there Linden was found hiding. Remnants of his raids on the refrigerators, including empty wine bottles, showed that ho had been faring sumptuously during his wee of freedom. Visitors to Portland.

Admer T. Johnson, Son of a Pioneer, Will Serve Five Years In the State Penitentiary. Admer T. Johnson, the self-confessed highwayman, was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary by Judge Cleland yes terday, which Is the extremo penalty pro vided by statute as the charge against the -young man was simple robbery, tho allegation that he was armed with a deadly weapon being omitted In tho in formation. Tho prisoner is a son of A. H. John son, who was a pioneer of Portland and once very wealthy, and Richard "Williams, the attorney, who is an old friend of the family, addressed tho court, calling at tention to the good parentage of tho ac cused, and. that it was his first offense. Mr. "Williams said If the court would be lenient he was sure the punishment would serve as a lesion to his client to do better In future, and that under the circumstances there was hope for reforma tion. Tho services rendered by Johnson for his country in th Spanish-American "War at the Philippines was also referred to. Judge Cleland, addressing Johnson, stat ed that he had given the case more atten tion than he usually did cases of this character. He thought that enough leni ency had been shown in the nature of the Information filed by the District At torney. In this Information the maxi mum penalty was five years, whereas the crime of which he confessed In Its greater degree was punishable by a maximum sentence of 20 years, and a minimum im prisonment of five years. 1 Judge Cleland further stated that he had examined carefully Into the circum stances of the crime, and had consulted with those best Informed upon the subject and after hearing all that was Bald tn favor of Johnson had concluded that he would receive all the leniency due hlm(by a five years' sentence. This sentence was then pronounced. Two of Johnson's brothers who, were present broko down and wept on hearing the Judgment but the prisoner, although visibly affected, bore up well. He asked not to be taken to the penitentiary until Saturday, so that members of his fam ily may visit him during the remaining days of the week. The charge against Johnson was that he held up P. L. Madlgan on the night of September 15 and stole J1.25 from him. Emma Johnson, the 17-year-old wife of Johnson, who is alleged to have assisted him In hold-up operations, Is confined In the county Jail on a charge of larceny. Johnson at the time of his arrest said he pleaded guilty because the officers did not give him a chance to do otherwise. IS A BRIDGE A ROAD? County's Liability for Accident De pends on Court's Answer. "Is the Morrison-street bridge a county road? This Is a question to bo decided in fix ing the question of the liability of Mult nomah County for damages resulting from the accident on tho Morrison-street bridge at the time of the swimming feat In the Willamette river In July last A railing of the bridge gave way and over 100 people were precipitated into the river and some came down on the top of a hoathousc. Schuyler C. Spencer, at torney for a number of the claimants, in formed Judge Cleland yesterday during the course of an argument on demurrer in the Caroline Schrpedor suit against the county that ho knew of 23 damage suits which will be instituted In the event that a decision is obtained fixing liability upon the county. The liability in cases of this kind if it Is found to exist is limited in amount to $2000, and 23 suits would mean $6,000, which the county would have to liquidate together with costs. From other sources It is ascertained that there are at least SO claimants for damages which aggregate a total of $80, 000. The suit In which the demurrer was ar gued yesterday was brought as a test case, and no matter how the lower court decides will be carried to the Supremo Court for final determination. Mr. Spencer argued In support of the contention of liability that tho duty of operating, repairing, and caring for tho bridges over the river Is imposed by stat ute upon tho county, and If tho county falls to keep a bridge In proper repair the county is negligent and Is liable in case of an accident He asserted that under the law turning over the bridges to the county they became to all intents and purposes county roads; the county col lected the revenue from the street rail way company, and the County Court had all to do with the care and control of the bridges. V. K. 'Strode made an argument along the same lines and submitted author! ties. Charles H. Carey, who with Deputy Dis trict Attorney Arthur C. Spencer appeared for tho defense, insisted that the Mor rlson-street bridge is not a legal county road, and no part of one. He pointed out the fact that the City of Portland bought and owns tho bridge, and that the city under an act passed at the Legisla tive session of 1903, Is authorized to re move the structure and build a new bridge. Mr. Carey argued that the mere fact that the care of the bridge was turnd over to the County Court did not make It a county road, and cited decisions on that point LOVED ANOTHER, MARRIED HER Wife Complains of Desertion of Ed ward Elmer Smith. Iris Etna Smith, who rhnrewi thot To ward Elmer Smith, her husband, deserted, her on April 14, 1500, yesterday filed suit against him In the State Circuit Court for a divorce.

"While they lived at 433 "West Park street Mrs. Smith avers that Smith threw rocks at the house, breaking a window, and threatened that on the anniversary of their manage he would make a similar attack on the premises. She also com plains that one time he struck her and uirew ner against tne wail. The litigants were married in Portland in firtnhr 1S99, and have one child who is with the moxner. WINS $21,618 JUDGMENT. William Maffet, Jr., Victor In Suit Against O. & C. Railroad. Judgment for $21,618 has been rendered In favor of "William Maffet Jr., trustee, against the Oregon & California Railroad company, because of the failure of the de fendant to Keep a contract for the sale of 5173 acres of timber land. The land was sold by the company in 18S9 to William R. Maffet and E. F. McKlnney for $64,362 to be paid in instalments. It was con tained in what afterwards became known as tho overlan district which by the Northern Pacific Company as part ot lis iana grant, ana also tho Oregon & California Company.. The United States Government also took a hand in the con troversy. In the year 1S93 Dan R. Mumhr tvn. United States District Attorney, brought suit to have the grants to the railroad companies cancelled, and tho land revert back to the Government domain. "When this suit was begun the contract between Maffet, McKlnney and the Oregon & Call- fornla Railroad4 Company was held in abeyance until the suit was decided and the purchasers ceased making payments. The suit was decided in favor of the railroad company in January, 1300. 'Maffet asserts that some time following the railroad company repudiated tho con tract This Hult was brought to recover the umounts paid by Maffett and Mc- Klnney, amounting with Interest to $21,618. The railroad company In March, 1902, offered Maffett deeds to the land If he would pay the balance due of the JG4.362, but the offer was declined on the ground that the contract of sale had previously been forfeited and repudiated by. the- de fendant. No further defense being offered. Judge Frazer pronounced Judgment on the pleadings in favor of Maffett for the sum asked. Assessment Case Tried. The suit of Mary "W. Gaston against Fralney & Keating, contractors, to test the legality of the assessment of certain property for the improvement of Main street from King to Chapman streets, was tried: before Judge George yesterday. Fralney & Keating bid In Miss Gaston's property for the amount of tho assess ment, $1100. C. C. Palmer, attorney for Miss Gaston, contended that the city rec ords show that the city officers failed to take necessary proceedings regarding tho assessment; that the property was not advertised for as long a time as the law requires. A. H. Tanner" and James Gleason, coun sel for the defense, argued that the pro ceedings were proper. The court will de cide In a few days. SCHWAB BLOCKED PLAN: Nixon Tells How He Proposed to Re organize and Save Ship Trust. NEW TORK, Oct 22. Lewis Nixon oc cupied the -witness stand again today at the hearing before an examiner of the United States Shipbuilding Company cose, and gave much valuable testimony con cerning the genoral affairs of the cor poration. He testified that he had op posed the Sheldon reorganization plan. and, as a counter proposition, had urged that the stock be assessed In order to raise the amount necessary to save the combination from default and bankruptcy. His plan for assessment was opposed by Charles M. Schwab, holder at that time of $20,000,000 of the stock, who, according to Mr. Nixon, declared the stockholders would not pay the assessment Mr. Schwab, so Mr. Nixon swore, declined to put up any more money unless the Beth lehem bonds were given preference as a Hen upon the shipbuilding plants to the first mortgage bonds. Mr. Nixon's testimony also developed the fact that there was a wide discrep ancy aa to estimated earnings in letters written by Treasurer Garry to the mem bers of the reorganization committee, and Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the bondholders, asked It it did not show that there had been on attempt to minimize the value of the shipyards and magnify tho value of the Bethlehem plant but the witness would not say so. Much- time was taken up In an unsuc cessful effort to get at the history of a mysterious check for $250,000 found at the Trust Company of the Republic It was drawn to "Lewis Nixon or ourselves," on the same day the checks were made out for the payment of the cash given to the vendors for their plants and property. Both sides disclaimed knowledge of Its history and the destination of the amount of money for which it was drawn, and the only explanation from any source was that it had been made out by mis take. The effort to get the history of the check will be renewed later. It was brought out on cross examina tion that the share of promotion profits set aside for Mr. Schwab, of which Mr. Nixon told yesterday, had never -been paid. None of tho commitments on ac count of promotion were paid, so Mr. Nixon testified. The hearing will go on tomorrow after noon, and at tho close will probably be adjourned for 10 days on account of set engagements of counsel. This adjourn ment will probably prevent the taking of tho testimony of Messrs. Schwab ,and Para until some time week after next BANK FAILS TO OPEN. Allegheny Institution Suffers From Collapse of Pittsburg National. PITTSBURG, Oct 22. Following the suspension yesterday of the Federal NaT tional Bank of Pittsburg, the First Na tional Bank of Allegheny failed to open for business today, and Its directors have notified the Controller of the Currency that the institution has gone Into volun tary liquidation and requested him to take the necessary action In such, cases. For some time the Allegheny has been connected by rumor with the Federal Na tional Bank, but It was believed up to late yesterday that It would weather the storm, notwithstanding the heavy run made on It brought about by these re ports. The directors, however, at a meet ing last night decided that considering the best interests of all concerned, tho action noted above should be taken. The Pittsburg Stock Exchange opening this morning was quiet and trading light By a vote of the exchange It was decided that for the remainder of the week no bank or trust stocks will be dealt In. Tho suspension of the Allegheny Bank, which has been the representative of the Fed eral National In the clearing house, Is looked upon by bankers generally as an almost necessary sequence of the failure yesterday, and they believe no further trouble will follow. Robert Lyons, Deputy Controller of Currency of Washington, D. C, Is in charge of the Allegheny Bonk. J. D, Kramer, the assistant cashier, stated that as soon as the assets were realized the depositors would be paid off dollar for dollar. Tho First National Bank of Allegheny was organized in January, 1S64, and has a capital stock of $350,000, a surplus of $100,000 and undivided profits of $34.S71.S0. The directors of the bank ore connected with some of the most Important manu facturing Interests In Allegheny. The clearing house bankers have a very sanguine opinion of the affair, but the two banks so unfortunate at' this time were found to be beyoqd the Immediate reach of .aid, although both are declared to be solvent and in good condition. The correspondents of the First National Bank are: New York, National Park Bank: Philadelphia, First National Bank; Chicago, First National Bank. October 9, according to the report to tho Controller of the Currency, tho bank had deposits aggregating $1,123,554. Vice-President Stone made the follow ing statement today: "We will pay depositors every dollar due, and there will be a good balance left for the stockholders." Excitement Too Much for Banker.

It Is stated by, Northern "Pacific representatives that the money for the construction of the road has been raised and that within a short time the actual work of construction will be under way. The farmers of the Sun nyside district have shown their anxiety to secure tho road by offering to do all the grading of the roadbed provided the railroad company would lay the rails. This ha3 been agreed upon, and in a short time It Is expected that teams will be put to work grading the right of way.

"It will do more," said he, "to advertise the city and state than could be done In any other manner. "I have been out to see the fair grounds and I want to say that no finer location could have been selected. It will be a shamo If the City of Portland does not maintain the grounds as a public park after the fair." TO WORK FOR BIG CONVENTION. Chamber of Commerce Appropriates $200 for Advertising.

It Is cod liver oil, which contains medicinal and cura tive properties to do such splendid work as a body-bulidlng, healing, strength creating tonic medicine, and yet fails be cause its greasy. Indigestible oil upset3 the stomach and hinders these excellent curatives from doing their healing work. "Like the workman, old-fashioned cod liver oil has 'lost Its Job,' and few people nowadays have any use for It or emul sions, since Vlnol Is rapidly taking their place. Vlnol Is delicious and digested with perfect ease, and at the same time contains all the genuine medicinal cura tives,, taken direct from fresh cods' livers. Vlnol will do more than was ever claimed for old-fashioned cod liver oil, yet It la entirely free from oil and agreeable to tho weakest stomach. It Is guaranteed to give strength to the weak, vitalize tho aged and cure stubborn colds and hacking coughs, or money will be paid back." Woodard, Clarke & Co., druggists. A GOOD ACCIDENT She Sleeps at Last Between the brain and the stomach there is the closest nerve connection, any derrangement of the stomach prevents sleep, brain depression follows, and if not corrected leads to insanity. Crazed from stomach and bowel troubles, a Boston lady was restored to health by using Ab bey's Salt of Fruits. She soys: "For about -four years I could not sleep without flrst taking drugs. Tho effect of these narcotics and my unnatural sleep made me irritable and cross. My husband could not understand me. and our homo became a most unhappy one. My ston. ach was in a most awful condition, and at times I was as crazy as a loon. It was simply by accident that I bought a bottle of Abbey's Salt of Fruits, 'after reading so much about it In the papers. That first bottle I will never forget; so plaas ant to the taste, and so wonderful the ro- I suits obtained that it has made ma an I Abbey Salt enthusiast It is the greatest tonic laxative and life-preserver In the world, for it has redeemed me from a life of misery, has made my home happy and my nights restful. My stomach, tho key note of all the trouble, Is now as strong as that of an ostrich."

"IMPROVING ON NATURE" Has Been the Bootmaker's Fatal Error. Dryden had the right Idea. These are not exactly his words but the idea Is conveyed: Hunt for health with drugs unbought; Leave the doctor's help unsought; The wise (for ease) on new rubber depend; God never made man for'cobblera to mend. Man was born with a natural heel cush ion. The shoemaker tries to Improve on na ture with hard leather heels. The O'Sulllyan Rubber Company has brought back the cushion that nature orig inally intended for man. All first-class shoe stores should sup ply O'Sulllvan Rubber Heels for 33c. a pair. . O'Sulllvan's are ("next to wings") new rubber. Substitutes are (next to nothing) old rubbish. Send to the makers, Lowell, Mass., If the dealer does not have them.
