By some it is predicted that the out come of the meeting will be the appoint ment of a committee of investigation and no other immediate action will be taken. " FIGHTON STEVENS . WITH ICE Y SILVER THAW A. G. BARKER PASSES AWAY llu ui mini iiilvvu Well-Known Portland, Railroad Man a Victim of Pneumonia. is COATED Dethroned Boss of Multnomah County Is Pulling Wires at Salem. REPAIRING HIS MACHINE Vses Connty Court as Nucleus -for yew Organization Sly Scheme to Defeat Bill Introduced on Sheriff's Behalf. Members of the Multnomah delegation and friends of Sheriff Stevens are con vinced that the tight of the County Court to cut down the emoluments of the Sheriff's office comes rrom old Jack Matthews' regime. On special order toT day, house bill 1U3 will come up. The bill was Introduced by Representative Driscoll and provides that the Sheriff shall have custody and control of all persons confined in the County Jail. The bill also fixes the price to be paid to the Sheriff for the meals of prisoners at 12'i cents. Since the bill was introduced, some members of the Mult nomah delegation have advocated fixing the price of meals at 14 cents. Some were even In favor of making It 15 cents, and perhaps the price would have been fixed at 14 cents, but for the fact that little opposition came from the members of the Multnomah delegation who are still sailing on Jack Matthews' badly wrecked political ship. The lack of opposition has set some of the wise ones to thinking deeply, and remembering that much of the campaign thunder that was hurled at Tom Word was based on the money that was made by him through, feeding the county's prisoners at 174 cents, they became suspicious. ' The story goes now that the Matthews crowd in both Houses was to make an apparent fight on the bill, add 2 cents more to the price already fixed by the bill and then use to defeat its pass age much of the talk that was used in the Word campaign. Hudson, Beach and Bailey are said to be in the combination. Senator Notting ham, because he was a Word man and fought Sheriff Stevens In the recent cam paign, fell into line, but now. so the Sheriff's friends say. Nottingham has had an awakening. They say that Sena tor Nottingham was not ashamed of the work he did for AVord. but when some kind legislator whispered into his ear that he was lining up with the Matthews crowd, he balked. Makes Strange Bedfellows. Some wise man long ago said that, "politics makes strange bedfellows." This Is applicable in the case of Hodson, Beach and Bailey. Hodson, -everybody knows, i "a Mathews sailor. Beach until recently was a staunch and true Slmonite. What magnet drew him aboard the Matthews craft undoubtedly Beach can tell; the same as to Bailey. When the bill came up for discussion Beach thought if the Sheriff were paid 9 cents for feeding the prisoners that would be enough. What Hodson and Bailey thought or xaid does not matter. From time to time since the Mat- Ka.. ....... ... 1 1 1 1 hecn persistent gossip that he still controlled those in charge of the coun ty's business. Try as might the friends of the fallen boss to .kill the rumor, it will not down and those who claim to bo "in the know" openly say that had the elements not laid low the tele phone wires between Portland and Salem, the evidences of this control would have been still more apparent than they are now. Yesterday . the gossip was rife that Jack Matthews whs playing at being dead politically, jet at the same time, with the county officials as a nucleus, was busy sign ing a new crew for li is political craft. To back this statement up, and to how that Matthews still has patron age to distribute, a story is told that it was Impossible for a man to get the appointment as watchman on the ferry Clonal R. Webster unless the man received a clear bill of health from Matthews.. The story has it that several applied to Judge Webster for the job, and all were turned down; that Judge Webster gave some of the applicants to understand that he must consult someone else before he made the appointment. The '"someone else" is said to have been none other than Jack Matthews. . More County Court Gossip. Another bit of County Court gos sip is that when Judge Webster and his two County Commissioners began their war on Stevens, a scout was sent out among the Multnomah delegation to see what effect it was having. When the scout was informed that it wasn't at all what the many friends of Bob Stevens in the delegation would stand for, the message was duly delivered. Hy this time it was too late to cut the cards again, so the deal went on and the seed that was sown will be reaped when House bill -243 comes up today. Just how strong- the Matthews line up Is will be shown; that is. unless some of the timid ones get a touch of the recent blizzard in the vicinity of their pedal extremities. Certain members of the Multnomah delegation who resent the fight that the County Court and the County Com missioners have made have still a few more barbs to hurl at them In t,he shape of new bills. One bill that may bo introduced . provides that a county Judge's duties will be restricted to county business. This bill has not ben much talked of as yet, but it has been drafted and is ready to be in troduced at any time. WANTS PUBLIC HEARING l'aul Kadcr Will Face Ills Accusers This Afternoon. Paul Rader, general superintendent of the Anti-Salooh. League in Oregon, will attempt this afternoon before the board of trustees of the organization to ex plain away the formal charges which at that time will be made against him. The meeting will be held in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium and it is probable that it will be public. Mr. Rader has expressed a willingness to admit newspaper men and those who have started the investi gation are not opposed to such a course. 'I have nothing- to hide." Mr. Rader said when he expressed a desire to have reporters present. A determined light will be made to un seat Mr. Rader. Certain members of the board will ak that Mr. Rader tender his resignation and that proposal will he put to a vote. Many of the trustees have showed a disposition. It is alleged, to drop the affair and will attempt to vote down any motion that will require the resignation of Mr. Rader. H is understood that Mr. Rader will make an address and answer the charges. A. G. Barker, assistant general agent of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, died at midnight, at his home, 710 Flan ders street, of pneumonia.. Mr. Barker had been ill only since Friday. He leaves a wife and a grown daugh ter. - The arrangements for the funeral will be announced later. Burial will be in Portland, where Mr. Barker has lived for the past 18 years. Few officials of Railroad Row had more friends than Mr. Barker. He had the respect and the affection of all who knew him. During a long connection with the road he represented, he had gained an extensive acquaintance in all parts .of the state. Nowhere was he more highly esteemed than in Portland where he was best known. So sudden was Mr. Barker's illness that but a few of his friends had learned of his serious condition. The news of his death will prove a shock to a large number In the transportation busi ness as well as to many in other vocations. War Talk Makes Blood Flow Faster A. 1). Rocknrellow, When Henrt AlmOMt C'eaMen to Beat, Stimu lates His Circulation by Talk ing oi Japanese Crisis. EXCITEMENT oyer the rumors of a war between the United States and Japan saved the life of A. D. Rockafellow, a Civil War veteran, formerly of this city, but now of Seaside, who is dangerously ill with heart trouble at the Hotel Port land. He is slowly reco'vering but de clares that had it not been for the war talk which caused excitement and stimu lated his circulation, he would have died Saturday night when his condition was Very critical. Mr. Rockafellow was feeling very weak Saturday and'physicians worked with him all day. At night he was placed in the care , of a trained nurse. During the night he suffered a relapse and his heart was hardly beating. The nurse became alarmed and wanted to call a physician, fully believing that Mr. Rockafellow would not survive. "Just talk of something exciting and I'll pull through alright," whispered the sick man. The quick-witted nurse, who knew that Mr. Rockafellow had been in the Civil War. began to talk of the possibility of a -clash between the Americans and the Japanese. This aroused the patriotic ardor of Mr. Rockafellow and for an hour or more he almost forgot that he was ill. While he is still very sick, his physicians believe that he will recover. Mr. Rockafellow was struck with an iron rail about VI years ago when he was living in Portland and his heart was shoved about an inch out of position. He says that it is regaining its natural posi tion and hopes that he wilt not suffer again from that source. "I don't know much about the Japanese but I do know that they practically saved my life the other night," said Mr. Rocka fellow yesterday afternoon. "When we began to talk about the Japs thinking they can whip us Americans, my blood began to boil and there was no trouble about my circulation." Mr. Rockafellow served tbrough the en tire five years of the Civil War, enlist ing when he ""s but 15 years of age. Like all old veterans he is satisfied that American arms are invincible and is easily aroused when the question of war i. discussed. Nearly everyone who has ever visited -Seaside knows Mr. Rockafellow. He has lived there for the last jgix years for the benefit of his health. He is very popular among the cottagers and his flower gar den Is one of the noted sights at the pleasure resort. Mr. Rockafeltw makes frequent trips to Portland. He lived here a quarter of a century and for years was purser on the O. R. & X. river steamers. PERSOIIALMENTIOIl. ! J. Zj. L.ambirth, a well-known electrlcial and mining .engineer, left last night for Eastern Oregon. He will go from there to Goldfield. . Superintendent Edward Budd, of Mr. Harriman's "Cranberry and Clamshell route" along the North Beach, otherwise known as the I. R. & N.. spent yesterday in Portland with his family. He reports the-North Bank extension of the Tlwaco road as progressing favorably. Mr. Budd's experiments in cranberry culture have been so satisfactory that the Ilwaco marshes promise to become as famous as those of Cape Cod. NEW YORK, Feb. 3. (Special.)

Schil ling s jsesu Blizzard Raging East of Cas cades Assumes Disagree able Form in Portland. RAIN FALLS AND FREEZES More Snow Among Possibilities for This Section Cattle and Sheep Starving in Eastern Ore gon' and Idaho. WEATHER CONDITIONS IX TA IIHC NOBIHWEST. THE STORM Yesterday brought no relief in the storm situation in the Pacific Northwest, as snow con tinues to fall in the Upper Colum bia River. Valley and there Is much enow on the ground between Port-i land and Huntington. The suffering V l'veBtock in Eastern Oregon and Northern Idaho from lack of fodder is increasing. x THE FORECAST Rain or snow and easterly winds for Portland and vicinity; rain turning into snow and colder weather for Eastern Oregon. Snow and continued cold is predicted for Northern Idaho. With unabated fury the bilzzard con tinues to sweep over Eastern Oregon, where thousands of cattle and sheep are face to face with starvation, and in Port land the storm continues in the form of another "silver thaw." In the city yesterday and last night there was a drizzlrug rain which froze almost as it fell. Snow covers the ground practically the entire length of the Upper Columbia River Valley, extending to Huntington. At The Dalles there is nearly three feet of snow and in Eastern Oregon, where the storm is at its height, there are no signs of early relief. Train service on the O. R. & N. is completely demoralized. , Except for a decided drop in tempera ture at Spokane, where the mercury fell 10 degrees, the temperature in the North west has remained about the same during the past 24 hours. Rain, snow and sleet have fallen in the Willamette Valley and the Sound country. The Willamette River is slowly rising at up-stream points, but at Portland has practically remained sta tionary. Conditions in Eastern Oregon continue to grow worse and the weather forecast gives no reason to hope for a favorable change soon. The forecast for Eastern Oregon is "Rain, changing into snow, and' colder." Already the snow, which is sev eral feet deep, is coated with ice, greatly adding to the suffering of the livestock. Rain on top of this will increase the thickness of the ice crust. There is a shortage of feed In nearly all parts of Eastern Oregon, and if the weather does not moderate within the next few days hundreds of stockmen will be ruined. The snow has covered up what feed there is on the ranges and the grass is made inaccessible by the cover ing of ice which the cattle are unable to break. At some points there is an abundance of feed and .the stockmen are trying to drive their herds to. these places, but slow progress is being made and thousands of cattle and sheep drop by the way from exhaustion and hunger. A blizzard "is raging in Northern Idaho, and in Lwiston it is reported that the stock and sheepmen of that vicinity are alarmed and declare that unless the storm abates very quickly their herds will be decimated. Their prospects are no bright er than those of the stockmen of Eastern Oregon, as the forecast for that section is 'Snow and continued cold." In Portland up to midnight a drlz- rling rain was falling, which froze in falling. Electric wires and trees began to grow heavy under the constantly in creasing coating of ice and the electric companies fear further losses. The pres ent "silver thaw" is not so heavy as the one last week, but it may grow worse. The mercury hovers about the freezing point and rain or snow for this vicinity Is predicted. The streets and sidewalks of Portland were In deplorable shape yesterday. The slush was several inches deep and in the down-town districts the pavements were not kept cl&ar, with few exceptions. This was due to the fact that but few of the stores were open. At night the slush froze and rendered walking extremely difficult. SNOW BLOCKADE OS O. R. & N. Most Trouble Between Bridal Veil and Bonneville. x The O. R. & N. was blocked yesterday between Bridal Veil and Bonneville by snowslides. No trains 'departed from Portland yesterday and- it is not likely that any will leave the city before noon today. The last passenger to get through was ;o. b. leaving .Portland at 8:lj Satur day night There was a heavy snow storm yester day along the Upper Columbia and throughout Eastern Oregon. The point of the greatest trouble was in the Co lumbia gorge, between Bonneville and Bridal Veil. Here repeated slides blocked the line. As soon as one slide would be cleared another would come down from the hills, completely burying the track anew. A freight train leaving Portland Satur day night, consisting of two locomotives and 30 cars, was partly buried by a heavy slide near Bridal Veil. The engines and 10 cars were covered by the slide. The imprisoned train was dug out yesterday. Westbound trains were held at The Dalles yesterday and unless the line is cleared of snow early today, a boat will be sent up to bring the passengers on to Portland. L.arge crews of men and a rotary snow plow were working all day yesterday and last night in the attempt to" clear away the slides, and it was thought that the greatest trouhle would be over this morning unless the snow continues to fall. At The Dalles yesterday afternoon the snow was three feet deep on a level, according to a'dvlces received by Gen eral Manager O'Brien. All along the line there was a heavy" fall 'of snow. All trains were annuled yesterday until 9:30 this morning. "It Is expected that the snow will be cleared away by noon tomorrow," said General Manager O'Brien last night. "The work is discouraging by reason of the fact that as soon as one slide Is cleared away, another conies down from the cliffs and covers the tracks again. The snow fall Is very heavy and it is not advisable to run trains out tonight in view of the uncertainty of their getting through. Unless the storm continues to morrow, the line will undoubtedly be opened early in the day. "The Spokane line has been cleared and the track between Walla Walla and Pendleton is expected to be open tomor row night. Trains 3 and 6. leaving Port land Saturday night, got through all right, anil If the track is not opened The Meier ?

STOCK FREEZE IN MONTANA Losses in Herds From Present Storm Will Be Enormous. BUTTE. Mont., Feb. 3. Kon Kohrs. of Detr Ijodge, one of the most promi nent stockmen of the state, is in Butte, and states that he is in receipt of ad vices from the Northern ranges that his stock losses will reach about 80 per cent of his herds, so fierce is the storm that is sweeping the Northern districts of Montana. Mr. Koljrs states that the conditions In Valley County and the other big cat tle and sheep sections are- simply ap palling, the stock dying by the hun dreds. The long plains of Northern Montana afford the stock little shelter from the stinging sweep of the snow and wind. Unable to break the crust of ice cover ing the grass of the ranges, the cattle and sheep huddle in bunches of from 50 to 100 in tho coulees, there to drop from exhaustion and hunger and die. Bunches of dead cattle catch the drift ing snow, which soon buries them com pletely, with the exception of an oc casion'al protruding leg or head. These burial mounds of snow frequently dot the ranges and only too plainly Indi cate how fearfully the herSs are being ravaged by the terrific weather prevail ing. If cars could be had, many head of stock could be saved, but in view of the great scarcity of rolling stock, flock masters are offering their sheep for sale at from 30 to 50 cents per head, or in fact almost any price. In some locali ties, in an effort to save at least some thing. Advices from throughout" the state tonight show little change from the low temperatures reported yesterday. Great Northern and Northern Pacific traffic is demoralized. WOMAN SLEEPS IN SHED Refined Mother and Child Rescued by Tacoma Police. TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 3. (Special.) Pitiful is the story of Mrs. R. II. Bushell, who was found by Detective Ledyard in an open shed at South Sev enteenth street this morning. She had spent the entire night under its flimsy shelter in company with a small -year-old girl, while the temperature was below the freezing point and the snow was sifting through the (walls and piling in small drifts in all cor ners of the shack. Krom the appearance and talk of the woman it is believed she is mentally deranged. To some of the officers she said she came from Australia, and to others London. Ios Angeles and Seat1 tie were the names given. She is un mistakably an Knglish woman and the accent is strong in her speech, which is that of a highly educated and re fined person.

Law Prohibiting Memorial Day Sports Not Wanted. LEAVE IT TO CONSCIENCE Old Soldiers Do Xot Favor Legisla tion Restricting Civil or Religi ous Liberty Compulsory Ob servance Not Desirable. At the meeting of Summer Post No. 12. G. A. R., Saturday night, the bill that is before the legislature relating to the observance of Memorial day was up for consideration. It was the opinion of those who expressed - themselves that there should be no law to restrict any body's movements on Memorial day. M. I Pratt, to express the sentiment of the post, introduced the following resolu tions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, An Item in the dally press of this city of the passage of Senate bill No. 38. as amended by the committee on education, prohibiting games, racing, etc., before 2 o'clock P. M. on Memorial day, was denounced by Senator Bailey and others who voted against the bill as being "an insult to old soldiers." Therefore, be it Resolved, By Sumner post. No. 12. Dept. of Oregon. G.

While we do not consider it as an Insult to the G. A. R., we do consider it one to the patriotism, intelligence and loyaltv of the people of this commonwealth. The O. A.' R. is not In favor of "blue laws." under any dis- I guise, that restrict civil, or religious lib erty. The members of that organization fought, starved in prison pens and en dured untold hardships for four long years that human liberty might be oon sumated on this continent. They have given Memorial day as a heritage to the people" of this Nation, In order to help preserve that National pride, which is in the hearts of a liberty-loving Nation, in the deeds of their forefathers, and set apart one day on which their minds might be diverted from the cares and anxieties of a busy life to the memories of those who fought the country's battles. They dispelled the darkest night that ever o'ershadowed a Nation's life, and let in a sunburst of peace, unity and prosperity unparalleled in the history of nations. What they did is recorded upon the hearts of a grateful people, and we ihon estly and conscientiously betieve the les sons of Memorial day can be more vividly impressed upon the hearts of our people through education, rather than through law. If the people, through money-madness. National egotism and National con ceit, forget the lesson which this day teaches, then, as in the case of all human events, the Nation must suffer the Inevit able consequences of a failure to enforce justice and equal rights among all classes of its citizens. The G. A. R. stands today as it stood all through that memorable conflict, with its face to the foes of .lust and equitable government, and condemns any man. or body of men, who advocate .class legislation, or any legislation re stricting human imerty only so iar as it pertains to the safety of society. One great object of government is to protect the weak against the strong: beyond this is dangerous ground. On this dangerous ground the seed is sown, the fruit of which is injustice, and the consequence of which is a d'scontented people. Resolved. That we believe any law re stricting human action and freedom of conscience on Memorial day. or any other day. is impracticable and impossible of enforcement; and that any law. not strict ly enforced is contaminating in effect upon all law. and serves In making the enforcement of necessary laws more dif Pickled Pork Lesr of Veal 121 121, Veal Rib Cutlets . ...121, ATcal Shoulder Cutlets.121, Beef Sirloin Steak. . .121, Small P'rhouse Steak.121, Beef Rib Steak 12i, Sausage 15 Veal Shoulder Roast. 10 Veal Breast 10?
