12 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1906. GAIO Mil ARRIS Japanese Steamer Comes to Load Cargo of Foodstuffs. MASTER HAS A WAR RECORD Vessel Comes In With Ballast She Carries Full Japanese Crew Was. Once an English Collier. Prize of War. The Japanese steamer Goto Maru, from Kobe In perioral cargo, arrived in -Portland yesterday afternoon and entered at the Custom-House. She brought In 225 tons of sulphur. 13 tons of fancy chlna ware and 20 tons of sundries. She will discharge at Columbia dock No. 1 and will load wheat and flour for the return trip. The Goto Maru Is the first vessel, flying the flag of the Mikado, to enter this port with a complete crew of the little brown men. From her captaki to her cabin boy phe Is Japanese throughout. While the Shibata Maru Is a Japanese liner she car ries a Swedish captain and an Irish en gineer. Officers of the Goto Maru are: Captain, T. Hamada; first officer, T. Tamoto; chief engineer, H. Marimatsu. Captain Hamada," who has spent a large portion of his life on the ocean, lias been in command of a merchantman for only two years. He has, however, an enviable reputation in the naval trans port service of Japan. He was chief mate of the Cassa Maru which carried sup plies to the Japanese during the siege of Port Arthur. One of the thrilling In cidents in the career of Captain Hamada was when he was master of the ship Chin Shancliln. When en route from Darlen to Inchaln the ship was totally destroyed by a mine. The captain and several officers escaped. The Goto was formerly under the British pay. She was subsidized and was utilized as a Russian collier. The Jap anese captured her off Goto island near the Corean coast. MRS. PATTERSOX COMMENDED Report of American Consul on Res cue of Coloma's Crew. WASHINGTON. Dec. 24. The American Consul at Victoria, In reporting to the State Department the loss of the Ameri can bark Coloma of San Francisco, which occurred off Vancouver Island December 7, says: "After the crew had been struggling In the water for 12 hours their signals ot distress were spen in the early morning by the llghthousekeoper at Cape Beale, Vancouver Island, andi the keeper's wife, Mrs. Minnie Patterson, started for Bam tield, live miles away, where the British eteamer Quadra fortunately had steam up and put out at once to rescue the men of the Coloma. The sea waa very rough, but all ten of the shipwrecked men were finally rescued by the volun teers from the Quadra. "Special praise Is due to Mrs. Patter son, whose trip to Bamneld was one of most heroic exertion. It took her four hours of hard struggle to make the trip, which completely exhausted her. The path over which ehe had to go was nothing more than a trail and the heavy weather had made it very wet. A man who went over It a day or two later de scribed it as little better than a bog and said he wore out a pair of shoes in making the trip and tore his clothes badly." CAPTAIN WANTS A COOK. Master of the Bankburn Needs a Man for the Galley. Captain Moore, of the Bankburn, wants a cook, and wants him badly. Since the vessel has been in the river the captain has been obliged to hire 14 cooks and a large percentage of them have never been paid off. When the Bankburn entered the Will amette River there was naught to dis turb the serenity of the master. He had a good cook and all was lovely. Soon, however, the cook disappeared and an- STEADIER INTELLIGENCE. J Iue to Arrive. Name. From Date. Geo. w. Elder.

He partook of some of the dressing for the mashed potatoes and went ashore. The master of the stranded Galena was then appealed to and the cook from the stranded craft was sent to Portland. He tasted one day and the master was forced to eat salt horse prepared by the boy. The services of a cook for the Bankburn are earnestly solicited. Steamship Franklyn Clears. The British steamship Franklyn cleared yesterday with 142.807 bushels of wheat, valued at $99,984. She will go to Antwerp direct. The Franklyn will proceed to Comox for coal and will head for the United Kingdom with all dispatch. When leaving down the Franklyn drew 24.08 feet and was an unwieldy mass to handle. With the aid of a tow boat, however, she tleared the dock and proceeded down un aided. Lumber for San Francisco. ASTORIA. Or.. Dec. 24. (Special.)

CARMEN'S STRIKE FAILURE Streetcars Being Operated as Though Trouble Were Ended. Although the streetcar strike has not been officially called off, it has apparent ly failed completely, and is to all intents and purposes a closed Incident. Leaders maintain they have hopes of winning out even at this late date, however, and de clare they will continue the fight against the Portland Railway Company and the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany If, it takes the remainder of the Winter and all next Summer. Regular schedule service has not yet been resumed on the city lines of the Portland Railway Company at night, cars on some lines running at slightly longer intervals than before the strike. It is ex pected that the usual service will be re sumed within a short time. New men are being broken in to fill the places of strikers. It is said that 'about 75 men either resigned or were discharged. Three were discharged on the O. W. P. system and 33 on the Portland Railway Company lines. i It is reported that E. J. McKenney, sec retary of the Carmen's Union and prime mover In the recent strike, has left the city, and this In Itself is thought to be an acknowledgment of defeat. The strik ers are disorganized, and have no pros pects of winning, so far as can be learned. Delays which occurred in the car service last night were due to the breaking of a power cable on the West Side, which interrupted traffic for a short time. The striking carmen will be given a benefit in Merrill's Hall New Year's eve. Fred T. Merrill is arranging a ball, and the proceeds will be given largely to the carmen. In addition to such funds as may come to them in this way, the strik ers are being supplied 5 a week each from the treasury of the international streetcar men's organization. This will be forthcoming until the strike Is formal ly declared off. Warrants for the arrest of "John Doe" and "Richard Roe" Costello were Issued from the Municipal Court yesterday, upon complaints charging assault and battery. These were signed by the crew of a car on the Lower Albina line, who were as saulted by these two men, it Is alleged. The arrests will probably be made today. The men who are to be taken into cus tody can be found, it is stated, at 120 Sumner street. DROWNS IN THE TUALATIN Raymond Dixon, a Farmer, Loses His Life Near Cornelius. Raymond Dixon, a young farmer of Cornelius, Washington County, was drowned yesterday morning about 8 o'clock in the Tualatin River near Forest Grove. A boat in which Dixon was row ing was swamped by striking a log. After clinging to the boat for a time In mid stream, where it was grounded on a snag. Dixon attempted to swim ashore. He was impeded by his heavy rubber boots, and although a good swimmer sank. Lee Reed was watching Dixon from the bank and witnessed his unsuccessful attempt to reach shore. Neighbors of the drowned man came to Portland yesterday and communicated with Holman's undertaking establishment for the purpose of engaging Hugh Brady to recover the body. Dixon had a wife and five children, who live near Cornelius. HUMIDORS In hardwood, aluminum lined, keep cigars In perfect condition; we have a large variety.

Sumptuous Railway Publication Contains Plates of Coast Scenes Printed in Five Colors. A second edition of the Southern Pa cific's sumptuous advertising book, "The Road of a Thousand Wonders, which appeared last year and made such a hit. is now being printed and will be out within a few weeks. If Is said to be even superior to last year's edition and represents the highest known standard of railroad advertising. The 1907 edition will consist of 75,000 copies and will represent an expense of 1100,000 to the Southern Pacific. Advance proofs of Oregon scenes por trayed In the book have been received by William McMurray, general passenger agent for the -Harriman lines In the Northwest. The scenes are true to na ture and are splendid specimens of color printing. The illustrations are run through the presses five times, that being the number of colors In the pictures, and the result is extremely pleasing. The work is of such high class that it will be a surprise to many printing establishments through out the country that engraving of such a character can be accomplished on the Pa cific Coast. Details of the processes have been asked for by New York printing houses. Oregon occupies a more conspicuous place In the book than last year and is given 16 pages. Scenery of the state Is shown in the illustrations, which were taken by special artists In the employ of the Southern Pacific The industries of the state are given and several Portland scenes are given prominence. One pleas ing picture Is a clump of Oregon roses in colors. Sixth street Is shown, as are views of Portlands harbor, the falls at Oregon City, Cow Creek Canyon, Southern Ore gon mining. Rogue River, statue of Saca- jawea In the. City Park, Mount Hood and other objects of interest. The edition for 1907 has been improved and Is even better than that issued last year, when It was thought that the acme of such work had been reached. "From the tourist standpoint, the book Will be of immense value to this part of the country," said Mr. McMurray. "It Is notable because of the fact that last April the Sunset Press, which issued last year's edition, was destroyed by earth quake and fire and all the former plates and materials were lost. New pictures were secured throughout and all who have been engaged in getting out the new edition have worked together with the one idea of surpassing any previous efforts. "No expense has been spared in carry ing out the Ideas of Charles S. Fee, pas senger traffic director of the Southern Pacific, and H. C. Tlbbetts & Co., who are printing the edition, deserve great credit for the typographical excellence of the book. Probably no printing estab lishment anywhere could do better work." The new edition is expected to be de livered in Portland within a few weeks. Christmas Menu Card on N. P. The annual Christmas dinner card of the Northern Pacific for use on the dining cars of the system Christmas day. Is up to the usual attractive character of the menu cards and the high standard of the dinner. The menu is printed In black and gold, and the cover, besides bearing the trademark of the Northern Pacific, bears a holly branch In colors. The well-arranged menu shows the forethought of the railroad company In making it as attractive, as posible for those persons who are compelled to travel on Christ mas day. At the Stock Theaters "Arrah-Na-Pogue" at the Lyric. CHRISTMAS WEEK at the Lyric will be devoted to a revival of Dion Boucclcault's famous old Irish comedy drama. "Arrah-Na-Pogue." Yesterday's performances were among the most smoothly given and thoroughly satis factory on- record, at the opening of a week's run at that theater." Frank Fanning Is suffering from a severe cold this wek, and Is taking a well-earned vacation. His place Is filled by Lionel Morrie, who plays the part of Postman Shaun very well in deed. Herbert Ashton is especially well caBt as Michael Feeney, while Warda Howard's work as Fanny ranks along with her best efforts. Thomas Clarke makes a great deal of the part of Major Coffin, and Lily Branscombe could not be well improved upon as Arra Meetish. The production as a whole compares favorably with the best that has yet been given by the Lrylc company, and nothing more flattering could be said of that popular organization, for its re cent efforts have placed it on a high plane of excellence. "Arrah-Na-Pogue" will be repeated all week, with extra performances to day. Double Bill at the Star. THE Allen Company is offering a double bill this week, "Little Lord Fauntleroy" at the matinees, with Harold Hoff making his debut as a boy actor, and "The Sutan's Daughter" at the night performances, with Verna Felton featured as the daughter. Both performances were well attended and the efforts of the players were reward ed with most generous applause. Master Hoff has long been a favorite with the local public as a singer of Illustrated ballads - at the Grand, but his appearance as an actor is a de cided novelty. The young chap shows decided ability in this direction and it seems that Manager Errickson had discovered a genuine infant prodigy. The members of the Allen Company rendered him effective support. Verna Felton playing Dearest, Taylor Bennett the Earl, and Lorlng Kelley the groc eryman. At night Miss Felton scored another success in "The Sultan's Daughter." Forrest Seabury made a hit in. the ec centric role .of Josiah Hopkins, and Clara Allen gave a satisfactory per formance as Hestet- the aunt. Both plays are well produced, the manage ment having evidently made a special effort to outdo former attempts in this line. The scenery and dressing of the parts is all that could be desired. The Star will "catch 'em comin' and goin' " this week with an attractive show both afternoon and night. At the Vaudeville Theaters Grand. PRANK MOSTYN KELLY has already won a National reputation as a car toonist and is now seeking other worlds to conquer. To that end he has entered vaudeville with high hopes and reason able chances of making a signal suc cess. He and his support, E. H. Cal vert, opened the Grand's bill for the week at yesterday's performance, pre senting their talking sketch, "Tom and Jerry." The sketch is fairly well ar ranged, the dialogue being brisk and the sentiment, as It develops in the last few moments of the sketch, is very pretty and affecting. Frank Kelly demonstrates the fact that he is a real actor and Mr. Calvert gives him tolerable support. It is a good feature, and the Grand man agement is fortunate in securing It for this week's bill. The Fishers, novelty contortionists, do some remarkable stunts in the guise of a frog and a lizzard. the little girl con tributing most of the effort. The Dun bars are entertaining In their talking, singing and dancing act. D. D. Robinson, a new ballad singer, renders "Way Down East Among the Shady Maple Trees"; Sam and Ida Kelly give a comedy sketch that goes fairly well; the three Walseys present an acrobatic and posturing act creditably, while the pictures prove to be Interesting. The Grand will give continuous per formances today. Pantages. RARELY, indeed, has the vaudeville bill at Pantages' 'offered more in ducements to the amusement-seeker than this week. Manager Johnson has planned wisely to give his patrons something extra special for Christmas week. Each act on the propamine fills out its share of the requirements for an evening's entertainment. Marron & Marron, in their skit, "The Sailor and the Piper." properly head the list, and more than justify the featuring they have received. Their act Is clean, amusing and effective, .one of the best that has come this way lately. Odessa, the triple-bar wonder, gives a marvelous gymnastic exhibition and the applause which greets his work is genuine. Frank Wilson, the bike expert, makes an old act new, and the original features which he introduces make his work doubly acceptable, for bicycle acts as a rule have outlived their popularity. De Voy & Co. offer a clever comedy sketch, which catches on from the start and holds the Interest splendidly. Earl & Monitor do a unique contortion turn, Leo White, as usual, pleases immensely with his illustrated song, and the mov ing pictures are unusually interesting. Same bill all week, with continuous performance today. Obliged to Settle His Brother's Fine Charles May Fined 35 for Disor derly Conduct, and IO Taxed Agralnnt Dan May One Year Ago Is Taken From Ball Money. A NOVEL method, hitherto unapplied, was resorted to In the Municipal Court yesterday morning to collect the balance of $10 on a fine of $20, imposed last February upon Dan May for as sault and battery. He had but half the amount at the time, and was al lowed to go with the understanding that he would return and pay tho re mainder within 30 days. He never re turned. Yesterday morning Charles May, a brother of Dan May. was in court on a charge of disorderly conduct, and was fined J35. Judge Cameron recalled the remaining sum owed the court by Dan May, and instructed Clerk Hennessey to retain the balance due from Dan May's fine out of the brother's ball. This was done, and, nearly one year after the assessment of the fine upon Dan May, the court's action was sustained. Dan May assaulted John Wilkins December 23. 1905, and the case was continued from time to time until it was finally disposed of in February. At that time May was unemployed and short of funds, and was therefore ac commodated by Judge Cameron, out of kindness. He secured work shortly afterward, but failed to keep his promise.

I WILL CURE YOU When I have accepted your case for treatment you may look for ward to a complete and perma nent cure, and with the very first treatment the curing will begin. This is pretty definite talk upon what Is commonly regarded as an uncertain and speculative matter. But I am in, a position to speak definitely and positively. With me the cure of men's diseases is not uncertain or speculative at all. MY FEE ONLY M I have treated so many cases that I know Just what I can do and what I cannot do, and I never promise or attempt too much. I accept no case In which I have doubt as to my ability to cure, and results are always equal to the claims I make. Following are some of the diseases I cure, and reasons why my cures are certain. Contracted Disorders In no other ailment peculiar to men is a prompt and thorough cure, so essential. Contracted dis orders tend to work backward un til the most vital nerve centers be come involved in the inflammation. Then follows a chronic stage that stubbornly resists all ordinary treatment. Safety demands that every vestige of Infection be eradicated at the earliest possible moment. My treatment is thor ough. The remedies employed have a more positive action than has ever before been attained, and so perfect is my method of applica tion that even chronlo cases yield completely.

E" AT THEATER BRUIN SENDS "MORAL- SQUAD TO WATCH FRITZ' PLACE. Officers Enter Concert Hall Every Ten Minutes to Look for Violations of Law. The police suddenly turned their atten tion to Fritz" Theater, Second and Burn side streets, last night, when Inspector Bruin assigned the "moral squad" to duty for the purpose of maintaining a "blockade" there. Patrolmen Kay and Kicnlen, in full uniform, entered and inspected the interior of the "show shop" every 10 minutes, and the remainder of their time is spent on the sidewalk in front. Inspector Bruin stated last night that the "moral squad" will be stationed at Fritz' Theater until the management complies with all of the rules and regu lations of the ordinances and of the po lice department. He declared that nu merous women, supposed to be on the stage In vaudeville, have, in reality, been selling drinks to men on the floor. This, he says, cannot longer be tolerated. "Fritz" Theater is a cancer on the city," said Inspector Bruin. "It is about the last resort in Portland where women hold sway as in the old days. Further more, It is the only place in the North End district that has constantly refused to obey the ordinances and the police regulations. The many women employed there have been selling drinks at out rageous prices to the male patrons, and not one-half of them ever appear on the stage, as they are all supposed to do but they use the stage dodge as a blind to cover up their activity in the drink- dispensing line. "Fritz' dive is as bad as a dive can be. No one can Imagine any plica that could be worse. The women he employs are flagrant in their violation of the rules laid down some months ago by the police relative to their costumes, and outrage public decency by appearing In abbrevi ated attire, so as to disgust any respect able person beyond measure. The viola tions of law have run as long as they will be allowed to, and the 'moral squad' will be kept there until Fritz sees fit to con duct his establishment in a decent man ner. The officers have orders to arrest any of the women if they violate any ordinance or act In a disorderly manner, and If any arrests are made, prosecu tions will be instituted In the Municipal Court." The appearance of Patrolmen Kay and Kienlcn, in full uniform, created a sen sation at the theater, and the women declared that, if the officers remain, and if the rules laid down by them are en forced, they will be obliged to quit the place, as they say their pay is not suf ficiently large to justify remaining. Under the police "blockade" system, the women will be made to confine them selves to their dressing-rooms and to the stage, and they will not be allowed to sell any drinks or to loiter on the floor or to mingle with the male patrons. When the recent police order to pro prietors of saloons and concert-halls was issued. Inspector Bruin states, all of them compiled with It with the single ex ception of Fritz. Inspector Bruin states that Fritz contrived to evade the ordi nances and the police regulations by placing a partition between the saloon and the theater. The manager of Fritz" Theater declares that Inspector Bruin is mistaken in his statements, and asserts that the theater has been complying with the requirements since the police order was issued. Will Consider Tax Lery. The St. Johns Council will meet to night and adjourn until tomorrow night. At the session tomorrow night the tax levy for 1907 may be considered. The value of taxable property for the city is a little over J2.OCO.000. an Increase of about J700.000 over the past year. There are some warrants out, besides it will be necesary to provide furniture and main tenance of the new city hall. Last year the levy was 5 mills. There is some talk of making it 8 mills this year. An amendment also Is proposed to the vehicle license ordinance to include mer chants' delivery wagons, which are now excluded from the operation of the ordi nance. Also the question of sewerage for the Portland Woolen Mills and the im provement of Crawford street will be taken up at this meeting.
