BIG RELIEF FOR SHIPPERS American-Hawaiian Steamship Com pany Will Put Fine Fleet In Atlantic- and Pacific to Run ' to the Isthmus. BAN FRANCISCO, July IS. (Special.) The announcement Is made that the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, of San Francisco, has entered into a. traffic contract with the Tehauntepec Railroad, of Mexico. It means competi tion in freight rates with the great trans continental railroads something that the Pacific Coast has been praying for these many years. The transcontinental roads have such control of the Pacific Mall that the steamship company affords Call, fornia shippers no relief. The Pacific Mail's freight rates were fixed by the railroads, and the shippers were taxed all the traffic would bear. No one else could break in. because the Pacific Mall had an exclusive contract with the Panama Railroad. Then the Federal Government took over the Pan ama Railroad and abrogated the Pacific Mall contract, announcing that hereafter all steamer and sailing lines would have equal rates and privileges on the Isthmian road. The Pacific Mail threatened to take oft its steamera But now comes the American-Hawaiian Company with an an nouncement that It Is going right after those freights, and it will soon be In shape to compete to the very best ad vantage. It already has a fine fleet of mammoth freighters of the very latest design. It has .been operating these freighters between New York, Pacific Coast ports and Honolulu by way of the Straits of Magellan. ' Two still larger steamers are now being constructed for the company at the Union Iron "Works. The steamers burn the cheap fuel oils of California, operating with up-to-date equipment. Moreover, the American-Hawaiian line will be in a position to use the Panama line If the bulk of traffic warrants it. From E. R. DImond. of the firm of Will iams. Dlmond & Co., the Pacific Coast agents of the American-Hawaiian Com pany. It was learned last night that It is Intended to put the four single-screw steamers of the company of the type of the Callfornian and Hawaiian on the At lantic side of the run. while the three big twin-screw vessels of the type of the Alaskan will be run on the Pacific. These three steamers will handle freight from and to San Diego. San Pedro, San Fran cisco and Northern ports. Smaller steamers are to engage In the coastwise traffic. A special effort is to be made to handle the perishable freights of California. CORPORATIONS DELINQUENT. Suits Will Probably Be Brought by District Attorneys. SALEM. Or.. Julv 1R rSnAtiai ttfr next Thursday 1000 Oregon corporations tvill be 20 davs riAlinnunnf In Via fillnc r their annual reports, and -will be liable to a fine of 550. The matter has been taken up with a number or District At torneys, and It is likely that suits will be brought to enforce the penaltv provided by law. The corporation law requires that an nual reports be filed during the month of June. No penalty is incurred, however, until the corporations have been delin quent 20 days, and this time will expire July 20. All corporations were notified prior to June 1 that their reports are due. and about 2000 have responded. The annual license fee must be paid to the" State Treasurer between July 15 and August 15. and all corporations that have not paid by the latter date, will be dis qualified for the transaction of business during the delinquency. In other words, any company that docs not pay its fee cannot buy or sell property, collect a debt or do other business as a corporation. The disability, however, will not prevent the collection of a debt from a. delinquent corporation. SOCIETY BELLE TURNS FIREMAN Miss Mae Perkins Leads Brigade That Saves Much Property. " OAKLAND.

INSANE YOUTH IN JAIL EFFORT FOR RELEASE OF IJOY ACQUITTED OF PATRICIDE. Constitutionality of State Law Giv ing Judge Discretion as to In carceration Is Questioned. TACOMA. July 18.-Speclal.)-In the Federal Court today a petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed to secure the release of Thomas Brown from confine ment In the Lewis County Jail at Che halls. Thomas Brown is the boy who shot and killed his father. Charles M. Brown, sev eral months ago near Chehalis. His case went to trial and on May 1 the jury re turned a verdict as follows: "We the Jury find the defendant Thomas Brown not guilty, by reason of insanity." The petition for a writ of habeas cor pus states that May S, Brown was brought into court from the Chehalis Jail and that Judge Rice without giving him any hearing decided that Brown was a dangerous person to be at large, and is sued an order of commitment remanding him Into the custody of Sheriff Urquhart, to keep him confined In Jail pending the further orders of the court. This, it is alleged on behalf of Brown, is in violation of the Hth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which requires the several states to ac cord all persons within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The al legation Is made that the state laws under which Brown was committed after he had been found not guilty by the Jury, arc unconstitutional and void. The decision of Judge Hanford will be directly as to the constitutionality of laws enacted by the Legislature of this state for public safety and which have been regarded as the means of dealing with the cases of persons charged with murder who escape on the plea of in sanity.

BERT MAY RECOVER OF AVOUND Rumor Grows That Us Is Short In Accounts AVith League. ! SAN FRANCISCO. July IS. Presi dent Eugene F. Bert, of the Pacific j Coast Baseball League, continues to rest easily, and his family and friends are encouraged to believe that he may recover from the self-inflicted Injuries which he sustained on last Saturday morning. Rumor Is gaining ground that Bert is short In his accounts - with the lexue. Questioned today, Henry Har ris said: Z3m summit Mr. Jtor t keia is dsnlt-j ed In the bank. There- Is not more than 5S000 in Bert's keeping. He had received 51500 from each of the clubs at the becinnlnc of the season. That made 59000. but I happen to know that the Oakland club quota Is safe. Cal Ewinc gave the check for 51500 recent ly and that check has never been cashed. That reduces Bert's responsi bility to 57500. The receipts from the holiday rames. which go to the league, may swell the amount in Bert's hands somewhat, but the money for two of those the Portl.ind-Tacoma K&mes is In my safe. I am satisfied that the loss. If any. could not amount to much, as Mr. Bert's holdings In the Recrea tion Park In this city would more than cover any shortage that may be found in his accounts."

Consternation reigned among the botan izing element of the Mazamas, on enter ing Paradise Valley, to be confronted with the order that no flowers were to be picked, even for the most scientific punioses. Mr. E. P. Sheldon, of Port land, bad brought a complete botanizing outfit with the intention of making a thorough study of the flora and fauna of Mount Tacoma. while C. E. Cutter, of Tacoma. and Mr. H. W. Glcason, lecturer and writer, of Boston, were similarly equipped, and of similar ambitions.

Flowers were everywhere and beautifully located. The weather has been almost constant ly rainy since the climb began at -Ash-ford, but no one seems to mind It. The utmost good nature prevails throughout the camp, many even contending that rain Is an advantage, as the coloring ef fects are far more marvelous In their varied tones and shades during cloudy weather. The climbers, without excep tion, are full of enthusiasm over the beauty of Washington's giant peak. General Hazzard Stevens returned from a trip to Nlsqually glacier, as fresh and vigorous as the youngest member of the party. General Stevens says he notices many changes since he climbed Mcunt Tacoma 33 years ago. The whole north slope of the Nlsqually was then perfect ly bleak and barren from forest fires. To day It Is heavily wooded. S. E. KIser's photographic corps of Portland makes one of the roost pictur esque groups on the mountain. This morning the corps began its photographic work with the Nlsqually glacier. They will continue from glacier to glacier until all have been visited. When the official climb is made they will go on ahead to the top of the mountain and pcform a feat that never before has been attempt edtake moylng pictures' of the mountain climbers as they make the perilous as cent. Thus if any accidents occur each movement will be accurately caught by the photographers. Bodies Cut "Up by Locomotive. BILLINGS. Mont.. July lS.-George L.
