1 THE SlOKMJiU UKJiGOMAN, SATURDAY, DEVUM&tiR , lU. JAPANESE MAKE PORTLAND MAPS Mayor Lane Ascertains That Foreigners Have Prepared Detailed Drawings. ADVISES WAR DEPARTMENT Conditions In Oregon May Hare Caused Cruise of the Atlantic Squadron, According to the City's Chief Executive. That Information furnished the "Washington Government by Mayor Lane one year ago. to the effect that Japanese spies had secured first-class maps of this city and surrounding country, in part, at least, caused the dispatching of the great battleship fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is the belief of Portland's chief execu tive. He further declares that the sit uation is grave, and says that the im mediate territory about Portland con tains hordes of drilled Japanese, some of whom are ranking officers in the Mikado's Imperial Army, or have been such; that they are trained in military tactics and are ready for instant serv lve.land that he advised the President to look into the matter long ago. The Mayor says that there are a large number of Japanese in Portland and ' the immediate territory, among them men who at one time ranked as high as major-generals in the Mikado's army. He also declares that they largely control the military situation in Oregon at present, being employed In large numbers by certain railroads, and being entrusted with immense sup plies of powder. Talks to National Guard. Mayor Lane, in an address before the Oregon National Guard Association, at the Armory, yesterday morning, made his first announcement of the matter, and his remarks created a profound sensation. He did not disclose one-half the information he is said to possess relative to the activity of Japanese in tills vicinity. The Mayorfdld not men tion the nationality to which he re ferred during his speech, but when in terviewed at the City Hall, he frankly Bald that he meant the Japanese. The Mayor says he ascertained through information furnished him by a policeman one year ago that Japa nese were making maps of Portland, of its waterpipe lines and of the sur rounding territory. He had the mat ter investigated, and learned that it was too' late to stop the foreigners, ns they had finished their work. He found "out that they had secured de tailed pints of the city, of its water supply and of the adjacent territory. After making an investigation the Mayor took up the matter with the War Department, filing a detailed re port of the situation, and also sug gested to President Roosevelt that it might be wise to send secret service agents to this section of the' country to investigate. The Mayor wrote to the President stating that whatever might be done to protect the Coast would be appreciated. Writes to Roosevelt. "I told the Presiaent," said Mayor Lane, "that. I did not wish any reply or to be informed of any action that might be taken, but I think that prob ably secret service agents were sent and that their reports on the situation were of sufficiently grave import to cause the dispatching of the Atlantic squadron to the Pacific Coast. "I first learned of the activity of the Japanese in this neighborhood one year ago from a policeman, who discovered one of them taking a plat of the west ern portion of the city. Immediate in vestigation was made by me, leading to the startling fact that the Japanese had secured first-class maps of the city and surroundings. I considered the matter so serious that I communi cated the information to the War De partment, and also wrote to President Roosevelt, suggesting that the Japa nese were too busy in this locality to suit me, and suggesting an Investiga tion by Federal agents." The theory is advanced by military men that the topographers were not working directly under Instructions from the Jap anese government but were adventurers, hoping to get maps which they might sell to Japan. The Mayor's revelation before the Guard Association regarding the operation of these topographers came as a surprise. He had just finished telling of the neces sity of being prepared for war and of the value of citizen soldiery. Complete Data Are Obtained. "How many of you officers," he asked, are acquainted with the topography of your city and the contiguous country so well as are the agents of a certain foreign nation who have been active here getting maps and information concerning this city as well as other Pacific Coast points? It came to my attention recently that these representatives made maps of every road way leading into Portland. They also made maps of our pipe lines and of our waterways and our harbor. Has it ever occurred to you how easy it would be, with such information, for a hostile force, sufficiently large, to cut off our water supply? "They had completed their work be fore I learned of it tout I resented such a practice and at once notified the Fed eral Government of the matter. The Gov ernment thanked me for the Information end sent a request that I supply any fur ther information of a similar nature available." BACKED BY WEALTHY MEN Negro Soldier's Suit for Pay Admit tedly Test Case. NEW YORK, Dec. 27. United States District Attorney Stimson said today that he had been served with the papers filed in the United States District Court by counsel for Oscar W. Reid, a member of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infan try which was disbanded by executive order after the rioting at Brownsville, Tex. The plaintiff sued the Government to recover pay lost through his dis charge from the Army, but the attorneys in the case have admitted that they were retained by "wealthy gentlemen of New England," whose real object is to de termine the legality of the President's ac tion. Revive Romance of i'outh. " NEW YORK, Dec. 27. Twenty-eight fears ago in the little town of Delaware, N. J., Irven A. Kenney and Charles M. Manne were rivals for the hand of Miss Minerva J. Bowers, the village belle. Miss Bowers bestowed her affections and also her hand on Kenney. They married and moved to Blairstown, N. J., where the Kenneys were prominent. Last Summer Manne visited there and met Mrs. Kenney for the first time since her maxlage to Kenney. Kenney has been dead for a year and Mrs. Manne is also dead. The old affection returned, and now Mrs. Kenney has become the wife of Manne, 2& years after she mar ried his rival.

FLOOD N EARS APEX Crest Will Reach Portland by This Evening. LIMIT OF SEVENTEEN FEET AVater Is Falling at All Points on Vpper Willamette Shipping In Port Is Suffering Severely From Weather Conditions. At 1 o'efock yesterday afternoon the crest of the flood passed Salem and the Government gauge at that point regis tered 24.9 feet. Computing on this basis, the crest will reach Portland at an early hour tomorrow morning and the ueight will not exceed 17 feet. The rise yester day at Portland was considerably less than was anticipated. Shippers and men on the water front were greatly relieved yesterday iby the in formation given out by the Weather Bu reau. Business houses were -busily en gaged in moving goods from basements to places of safety.

KFEXIS TUGBOAT SERVICE Captain Williams, of the Rajore, Says Columbia River Boats Good. ASTORIA. Or., Dec. 27.-TSpecial'.)-Captain William Williams, of the British ship Rajore, does not agree with the criti cisms that are being made of the pilot and tugboat service af the mouth of the Columbia River. In speaking of the mat ter today he said: "Since I have been here t have noticed that some of the Portland papers are con tinually attacking the bar pilot and tug boat service. Why they do this I do not know, but it is easy to see that the per sons who are writing those criticisms are not very well posted on conditions exist ing here and along the Coast. "In fact, after reading some of the ar ticles, I have wondered if those critics have ever visited the mouth of the Co lumbia River or have been outside during one of tb big gales which occur fre quently in this section in the Win ' r months. "I have visited many of the largest seaports in the world and do not hesitate to say that at no place have I found the pilots and tugboat men either more alert in attending to their duty or more capable than are those here. I have had occasion to reali ze that fact, as I have come to the Columbia twice during the present season. "When I came here first, my ship was boarded outside by Captain Howes, and though there was a dense fog off the Coast that rendered navigation extremely difficult and dangerous, he handled the Too Risky Ask your doctor if he does not think would be wise for you to keep a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectortil in the house. jyers Cherry Pectoral revised Formula "A hard chill, pain through the chest, difficult breathing."

Pilot Wood took me out, when I left port, and when I re turned a week later with my ship dis abled, we were boarded by Pilot Ander son, and Captain Reed with the tug Wal lula picked us up fully 10 miles off shore. There was not a moment's delay and in our crippled condition we appreciated it. That there should be delays in vessels reaching port, where gales are so fre quent and so severe as they are in the North Pacific at this season of the year, is to be expected. The chief trouble .3 in sending vessels here so light in ballast that they cannot be handled during the gales or against contrary winds and not on account of inefficient pilot or tugboat service." KINDER SEEKING NEW BERTH Ex-Master of Minnesota Quits Pa- cific Coast S. S. Co. Information has reached Portland from a source in Seattle, the authority of which there is no questioning, that Captain John R. Rlnder, who recently left the command of the Great North ern steamship Minnesota to become Marine Superintendent for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, has ten-, dered his resignation to take effect January 1. Before joining the Hill Company. Captain Rinder was with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. It i practically decided that W. H. Allison, assistant to the president of the Pa cific Coast Company, will succeed Rlnder, who, while he has made no an nouncement, is expected to remain on the Coast and re-enter the shipping business. While no one in authority will give any reason for Rinder's resignation, it is known that for some time things under his jurisdiction have been far from harmonious. As master of the Minnesota, Rinder was so dictatorial and overbearing that none of his of ficers could get along with him, and on every trip there were 'resignations when the Minnesota reached Seattle. One of the officers resigned in Japan and came home on another vessel. On the voyage which culminated in Rin der's resignation, he had trouble with the purser, and on reaching Seattle told the officers of the company that unless the purser resigned, he would. There was an .investigation, and the purser was sustained. Rinder resigned. BOTH DREDGES ARE TIED IP Port of Portland Is Now Without Means to Continue Harbor Work. Both dredges belonging to the Port of Portland are laid up for repairs and har bor and river work which comes under the direction of the Commission has been suspended. The Portland, which was sunk by the Bailey Gatzert November 6, must be placed on drydock before neces sary repairs can be made. She has been hauled out at St. John, but it is Impos sible to repair the craft on the ways. The Columbia has been incapacitated for a time by the collision with the French bark Marthe Roux. A number of her ribs have been strained and her machinery put out of line. She will be compelled to undergo numerous repairs before she will be ready for work. STEAMER ST.
