M B MUTINY 01 BOARD TOE MAORI KING Vessel Puts Into San Diego Bay With Foreign Passen gers Refractory. . FOURTEEN ARE WOUNDED Immigrants Bound for Mexican Ports Cause Trouble on Steam shipAid of Officials Asked For at California Port. PAN DIEGO. Cal.. May 7. With 921 Chinese steerass passensers at war with 212 Russian steerage passengers all on their way from Vladivostok and Shang hai to Mazatlan and Guaymas, the Brit ish steamer Maori King put in here to day in distress. A virtual state of mu tiny exists on hoard the vessel and the ship is now lying at quarantine, guarded by ImmlKration and customs officials, while waitlnsj settlement of the matter. Captain Duncan, who sighted the pier at Coronado. thought he could land there and get Into shoal water. The sea was calm but the tide was falling and the first report was that she was aground. He finally entered the harbor and re ported his condition. Trouble began soon after the steamer left Shanghai between Chinese and L Sun L,ai. an immigration contractor. The steerage passengers threatened to take t ie ship and run it back to China. The dispute was quieted but trouble broke out again when a Boxer stabbed a coolie. On Friday last, one of the Russians struck a Chinaman and laid his head open. The WO Chinese then attacked the 200 Russians and before they had been separated 14 persons were wounded. Captain Duncan, aided by British Consul Hitchcock, hopes to get a guard on board to help him on the rest of his trip. The Maori King is a British steamship of 2475 net tons burden and is under char ter to Frank Waterhouse & Co,, to trans put wheat and flour from this port to tiie Orient. She sailed March 25 from Shanghai for Vladivostok and from the latter port headed for Mexico with coolies and laborers for the canal zone. The ship is commanded by Captain Duncan. The Maori King was due to arrive in the Columbia River in time for May loading. She- was scheduled to operate in connec tion with the North China lino steamers. CARRIES BIG FLOCK CARGO SUanhip St-lrnga Will Clear Today With 61,000 Barrels. The Russian steamship Selenga, oper ating for the Waterhouse North China line, finished loading last night and will char this morning for Taku. Niuchwang and Shanghai. The vessel has aboard close to 61.000 barrels of flour. The Selenga is the third grain-carrier for the month and has by far the largest cargo carried from this port for some time. The Aragonla carried 47.017 barrels of flour and a quantity of general mer chandise. The French bark Michelet carried 1V2.774 bushels of wheat and sailed for the Vnited Kingdom. Grain exports, including flour, will be heavier during the month of May than at any time during the past . With the clearance of the Selenga the flour will have amounted to upwards of 100. O"0 barrels and with the Klrklee. Norman Isles and the Kva to follow during the week the shipments will run close to record-breaking figures. STEAMERS ENDANGER LIFE Officials xt Willamette Bridge Com plain of Swells From Boats. Officials of the new Willamette River bridge are complaining bitterly of the action of steamboat captains who run past the work with their ves sels under a full head of steam. "It not only endangers the prop erty." said the superintending en gineer yesterday.' "but it places the men in an exoedingly dangerous po sition. In fact whenever a steamer goes past the bridge under a full head of steam, the swell endangers the lives of at least 20 men. I shall take steps to have this matter rectified through the Vnited States Government officials. "The caissons used are not the most If there is anything about your illness yon do not understand, write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her adriee has helped OouMds of women. For aU this she will not charge you a cent; besides, she will keep your letter strictly confidential, as Indicated by the fact that every prirate letter received by her during the last twenty years, and more she now has in the Company's laboratory under look and key and no testimonial has ever been published without special written permission. Write her to-day; don't wait. stable things in the world and they are set In violent motion by the swells from the passing boats. Only the other day the disturbances in the water, caused by a parsing boat, broke a three-pile doiViin to which a cais son was attached. The compressed air workers, 'sand hogs.' are also greatly affected by the wash from vessels." Engineers engaged in the construc tion of the bridge across the Columbia are also complaining of the action of steamboat masters and a number of civil actions for damages have been threatened.

I'nable to Save the Dakota. LIVERPOOL, May 7. An agent of the Liverpool Salvage Association, sent to Japan to make a report upon the prospects of refloating the Great Northern steamship Dakota, which ran ashore in the Bay of Tokio March 3. cables that it Is hopeless to attempt to salvage the vessel, but that part of her cargo may be saved.

Columbia Goes to Drydock. - The dredge Columbia was towd to the drydock yesterday and will be lifted for repairs as soon as the steamer Roanoke Is finished. The Columbia will be on the do:k about AN honest, Z made from Native Roots and Herbs. It contains no narcotics or harmful drugs, and complies with all conditions of the Pure Food and Drugs Its annual sales are greater than that of any other medicine exclusively for women. During its record of more than thirty years, its long list of actual cures of those serious ills peculiar to women, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded person and every thinking woman. Merit alone can produce such results. Good alone can stand the test of time. All sick women should note these facts, and placing all possible prejudices aside, should realize the truthful ness of these statements, and when assailed with any of the numerous illnesses peculiar to their sex, should at least give Lydia K Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a fair trial.

Thompson, a well known Portland business man, has Just re turned from a two weeks' trip through California, and he returned more than convinced that Portland has a great future. "We have the resources and that is what portions of California have not," he said, "and when compared with California it is my judgment that this state is superior. I have come back with the impression that there is a great future in store for Portland, and that It will become a great city. Los Angeles is supposed to have a popula tion of 250,030 or 333,000, having dou bled her population -in the past seven years, and wiln no great resources compared with those surrounding Port land. After traveling through Califor nia and comparing the resources of that state with those of Oregon I am con vinced that we are just entering on an era of growth and prosperity and are nut coming to the end of prosper ity. Portland will double its popula tion in the next seven years Is. my Judgment." Mr. Thompson was in San Francisco for a time and he says the labor con ditions there are somewhat peculiar and the unrest Is more -due to the con tractors pulling against each other than anything else. i "One contractor.' he said, "bids for the men at work for others by offer ing them higher wages. The contrac tors are pulling against each other." Two More Are Indicted. The Federal grand jury yesterday re turned to the District Court indict ments against Carl Anderson and Frank Wayne, two of the men alleged to have been concerned in the Post office robberies at St. Johns and Sell wood. It Is believed that at least one of the gang, now confined In the Mult nomah County Jail, will be turned over to the city authorities for trial. KISER FOB SCENIC PHOTOS.

HAS DONE GREAT GOOD Reports Show Valuable Service Ren dered by Providing Home for Working Women Mrs. Mann Is Elected to Be President. At its building. Fifteenth and Flanders streets. Monday afternoon, the Portland Woman's Union held its annual meeting and elected officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. C. A. Coburn, who has ably filled the office of president during the year just closed, declined re-election. The of ficers elected are as follows: President, Mrs. P. J. Mann ; first vice-president, Mrs. W. P. Olds; second vice-president, Mrs. C. A. Coburn; recording secretary, Mrs. S. T. Hamilton; corresponding' sec retary, Miss Helen Spalding; treasurer, Mrs. William MacMasters; directors, Mrs. Levi White, Mrs. Leon Hirsch and Mrs. M. A. M. Ashley. Mrs. Coburn, the retiring president, de livered the following address: Almost, as It seems, before we were aware the year has slipped again into May and w met together as officers of t he Union to give an account of our steward ship to each other and to the large and in telligent body that we represent. You have already heard in detail, through the care fully compiled reports of the treasurer, the corresponding secretary and the chairmen of the various committees of the Union of the year's work. The note of quiet, un demonstrative but gratifying prosperity and endeavor runs through all of these re ports. The Union has not essayed great things in the past year, but It has been true to Its object, true to its traditions and earnest in its everyday endeavor. While falling far short of Us Ideals it has yet given a demonstration of home to a small army of women toilers, which, it is gratify ing to know, they have appreciated and en joyed. This organization started out many years ago a pioneer in Ihitwfleld, not only in Portland, but In the Pacific Northwest to meet the needs of working women by In stituting a boarding-home for the comforts of which they could afford to pay from such wages as they received.' Not a charity, in the sense of that comprehensive word from which independent, sensitive, self respecting natures shrink, was this offer ing; it was and is in the broadest sense a philanthropy, the basic idea of which is embodied In the term "self help." This idea that of helping self-respecting working girls to help, themselves has dominated the endeavors of the Woman's Union through all the years. The chronicles of this endeavor are not written in boastful words, but In painstaking effort, practical and persistent, that has, as we believe, flowered and borne fair fruitage In many lives. The chief need of this organization Is patent to us all, but for reasons of which all philanthropic workers in this commun ity are well aware, this need has not been brought before the public In recent months. The report of the superintendent shows that the demand for admission to the horns is constantly In excess of the supply. Every room in the building and every seat at the tables has been at all times occu pied, while there has been a large "waiting list" upon the superintendent's books. We have, one and all, felt keenly our limita tions In this matter, but we have also felt that the time was not propitious to go be fore this public with an urgent present ment of this need. It is not necessary to enlarge upon a point so well understood. We have simply thought It wise to use to the best advantage the equipment that we have for the present and bide our time, feeling that when, with building plans fully ma tured we present them to the business pub lic they will be generously indorsed. I would emphasize again the fact that the Portland Woman's Union is strictly non sectarian. No creed a test -whatever Is ap plied to Its membership or to those who constitute Its board of control. It seeks to be of practical use in a work-a-day world along industrial, social and economic lines. The boarding home and Its environments; the many little comforts and conveniences afforded to Us inmates; the Woman's Ex change, with its tactful management and the substantial assistance that it renders working women are sJl matters of record in the practical life of the community. Of Its unwritten history, who shall speak? Glimpses of it have come to many of the older and more active members from time to time that have caused them to thank God and take courage. I cannot close this brief recital without emphasizing the fact that the Woman's Union fills a place In this community that is distinctively Its own. It takes the hon est, self-respecting working women of prac tical life, provides a home for which they can afford to pay and makes them welcome and comfortable therein. It has Ideals be yond this which have to some extent been realized. Among these Is the industrial .school wherein young girls" fingers are taught to make effective the conceptions of buey brains, the Woman's Exchange where the work of woman's hands seek and find a market; social entertainment and educa tional Drlvilefces for those of Its Inmates of unquestionable curative value, . advertising serves to You Helpful Advice Free iii;liiiiiMiiilfi.millUli,lLlti;yi.iu,.,i,i,lill1tluliiillll who have time and Inclination for these things; a cosy library and reading-room well supplied with books of standard liter ature and current periodicals. Helpfulness Is the basic principle upon which the organisation rests. Sel f -helpfulness it encourages by every means In its power. Officers and members, in retiring from- the honorable and responsible posi tion to which you called me a year ago I beg to assure you of my sincere appreciation for the kindness you have shown me and for the help that you have given. Following Is the report of Miss Fail ing, chairman of the Woman's Ex change Committee. A report of this work was given Mrs. N. A. Mich, the secretary: Bi-monthly and two special meetings have been held during the year. The members of the executive committee have faithfully and ably discharged their an ties. Our president. Miss Falling, has not spared herself In any way, giving much time and thought to the work, rendering valuable assistance In every way and at all times. In the last six months, I think we can truly say, the Woman's Exchange has more than held Its own. Ws have been climbing slowly, but surely and now are certainly looking up and our business is prosperous; every department Is In good condltiont well organized and in hand. The luncheons are well patronized, the average number of patrons daily much larger than a year- ago. Last June we leased the adjoining build ing, making necessary repairs and altera tions and buying furniture, etc.. for same. The Colonial Library rents one window and corner of this building and proves an at tractive feature of the place. The old building Is now being improved. Enough cannot be said of our appreciation of our superintendent, who has just left us. Her efficiency, executive ability, tact and personality have been of the greatest bene fit to the exchange. We parted with her with the greatest regret. A most capable and conscientious housekeeper and book keeper have been added to the force at the exchange, and they also assist behind the counter when needed. We have 11 or 12 now on the payroll. We have 100 consignors. We paid during the year: To largest fancy-work consignor, f, 175. 55; to next largest fancy-work consign or, $135.49; to largest food consignor, $1268.48; to next largest food consignor, $800.25; paid consignors monthly more than $700. The exchange has 113 members, and received from fees this year $443.25; during the year $1355.80 was realized from an en tertainment given at Baker theater. We should have more members. There Is power in numbers. The executive commit tee of the Woman's Exchange ask you one and all to visit the exchange often, bring your friends; interest them in the work, and enlist their aid and co-operation. It is a good work. Help It oa Mrs. Mary E. Brown, chairman of the household committee, gave Inter esting details of an active year's work. This concluded with the an nouncement that the spring house cleaning had been done in a thorough manner, that the furnishings had been renewed as needed, and that all bills had been paid. It was urged that ways and means be undertaken where by a much needed addition to the building could be secured. She also made a plea In behalf of the local en OUR SAVINGS DEPARTMENT i- - "We pay 4 per cent on saA-ings accounts.

The report of Miss Helen F. Spauld ing, corresponding secretary, showed careful attention to the details of her office, through which feeling of amity and good fellowship between indi vidual workers and with other organ izations are maintained. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. William MacMaster, showed a com fortable condition in the financial af fairs of the Union. Mrs. W. J. Hawkins, of the educa tional department, reported recent classes in physical culture and vocal music as its chief effort, with very good results. t Mrs. Annette Cotter, for the social committee, reported little done In a functional way, but showed excellent care in the placing of choice magazines and periodicals on the tables of the Union's attractive library. Mrs. H. L. Pittock, chairman of the membership committee, reported the life membership numbered 33, and active members 235; death having claimed five others during the year. Mrs. Martin Winch, of the Woman's Exchange, submitted a report of this committee's most excellent work. Mrs. D. H. Stearns, for the press work committee, reported kindly at tention from the daily papers, also the recent publication of the Union's new year book. The review of the year's work proved very interesting and satis factory, and the work of the new year was taken up with cheerfulness and confidence. ESTABLISH BRANCH HERE Swift & Co. to Handle Eastern Prod ducts in Portland. A branch house of Swift & Co.. of Chicago, will be established In Port land on June 1. The company has se cured a two year's lease on the premises lately occupied by the Paci fic States Packing Company, on Salmon street, between First and Second, and the quarters are being fitted up for the new business. The Portland branch will serve as a depot for this territory for the handling of hams, bacon, lard, canned meats, poultry, eggs, butter, cheese and the other commodities In which It deals. Only Eastern pro visions will be carried. The house will be merely a branch of the Eastern company and Its business will be sepa ate in every -way from that of the Union Meat Company, a concern also operated by the Swifts. Swift & Co. have BOO branches and Law. but merit i 1 lim:i,i:.iaiMllMui...l.i-i.i.M.aHit agencies In different parts of th United States. For sometime past ths firm has maintained an agent in Port land, but has had no regular depot here form which to supply its trade. Its business, particularly in Eastern dressed poultry, eggs and kindred lines, has now grown to such an extent that the company finds it necessary to establish a regular branch here. The company has a large depot at Seattle, which does an enormous busi ness on the Sound, with Alaska and In the supplying of Trans-Pacific and Coastwise steamers. It also maintains a large branch at San Francisco and another at Los Angeles. The Portland branch will not be as large as these at first, but it will probably grow.
