THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER SS. I'M- RATES SUSPENDED ON UNION VESSELS Sailing-ship Owners Let Down Bars on Outward Cargoes From Pacific Ports. MANY DISENGAGED SHIPS tr.-ft Wliuh Hae Been Tied lp for Many Months Awaiting; Char ter at Minimum Kate of 27s 6d May Xow He fixed. . lTnber of the Association of Sailing ship Owners have aprreed to abolish the rate?, temporarily, on wheat and barley eargoes from Portland. Puget Sound and San Francisco. Tlie action was taken at a recent mectinz lield in london and Kivrs shippers an opportunity to encase nicli tonnage as they may retjulre at rates which are acceptable to the owners of vessels. Heretofore union ships were held for a minimum of S7s Sd for wheat ' for the I nited Kingdom for orders. Steam tommsc cut under that and the result was a larse fleet of sailins craft tied up at the several ports on the Pacific i "oast. The- condition of the Brain market in Kttrope lias not warranted the payment of more than 2T. shillings for tonnage dur tna; the past two months. Steam and nulslde vessels supplied the tlemand and as a result many union ships were tied up at San Francisco. Portland and PuRet Sound. The new move on the part of the Sailing-ship owners will have a tendency to reduce the number of disengaged craft mtTially. While there is not i-noush wheat in siaht to put all disengaged vessels in commission and still take rare of the ' chartered tonnage en route there is enough to start a number of them for foreign ports. Ships have been cleared from Pacific ports for as low a rate as tt 6 d. or approximately 1 cents a bushel lower than the present union rate. Own ers preferred at that time to take the low rate rather than have .the vessels Idle. While it Is not anticipated that anv such rate will be reached at this time. It is assrted that 20 shillings or less will tie offered and accepted. On the Pacific roast at this time there are 34 vessels on the disengaged list, all of which are available for grain cargoes. The visible supply is not sufficient to load them all. but half of that number will probably be taken up within the next six weeks. One of the principal causes which led to the action of the sailing-ship owners la that a number of owners have been dodging the rules and have accepted charters under the established rate. The matter was worked on he round-trip charter plan. Some exporters allege that the suspension of rates will not materially change conditions, while others say that It will put many of the tied up vessels in commission. In the Columbia River the British ship lyy'.and Brothers holds the record for length of time in port. She arrived March . On Puget Sound the cup goes to the British bark Ioudon Hall, which reached port at Tncoma February 15. CAPTAIN SPKXCEU ACQUITTED Jury Falls lo Convict Steamboat Owner of Kxeeotlinjr Speed Limit. Captajn H W. Spencer, owner of the steamer Charles R. Spencer, has been acquitted of the charge of exceeding the speed limit within the harbor limit of Portland in the Federal Court. The jury did not have their eeats. Captain S-.wn-ccr was the defendant In a case brought by Chief Higlneer J. if. C. I-ockwood. of the Port of Portland, and August 11 was the date on which Captain Spencer was allegd to have run his steamer faster than Is permitted by law. Kvidenec introduced at the trial went to show that no attempt was made to ap prehend the masters und owners of other vetuteLs plying on the river and on the date on which the steamer Spencer a alleged to have made the run for which her owner was arretted, that the chaft was a full quarter of a mile behind the Ftailey Gatiert when passing the railroad britlge at St. John, although both ves sels passed through the Steel bridge at nearly the same time. Plaintiff introduced a number of wit nesses to show that the speed limit rad been exceeded. Mr. Lockwood. when asked on cross-examination why he dtd not arrest tho muster of the Bailey Gat xert on that morning, replied there was more complaint azalnst Captain Spencer and Ills boat. Witnesses for Captain Spencer were Captain Charles R. Spen cer, master of the boat. Captain F. T.

Recommending tlie passage of ordi nances driving peddlers from the down town streets, and making special excep tions of proprietors of laundries from the occupation tax law. were the chief fea tures of the regular meeting of the gen eral license committee of the City Coun cil, held yesterday afternoon. The at tempt to eliminate the vendors from the main thoroughfares is but a renewal of a long fight along that line, but the action looking toward the release of laundrymen from the law that applies to all other people in business is new. It will create a stir in the Council tomorrow, no doubt. The only reason assigned by Council man Kellaher. author of the special legis lation act to exempt laundry proprietors from the occupation tax is that the price of soap has advanced to double the price it used to be in the good old days when there was a pound In each bar. However. Councilman Concannon, who; like his fel low Councilman, Kellaher. is a grocer, declared that the price of soap at the Concannon store is the same as in the dim and distant past. This caused Mr. Kellaher to sit up and take notice, as It did several others who were present "But, Mr. Concannon. you see the bars of soap now are so small that you have to take a magnifying glass to see them." explained Mr. Kellaher. in his most con vincing manner. -The bars used to weigh a pound each, and this makes the price double, you see." It was suggested that the price of laundry work has also more than doubled with the onward. march of time, too. but Mr. Kellaher. who is chairman of the committee, ordered the clerk to mark the ordinance "recommended for passage," and it so was. At present there are 60 laundries paying the occupation tax. bringing In an annual sum of 11200. and this amount will be lost to the city if the Kellaher ordinance be comes a law.

MUTUAL COMPANIES IN LINE Concerns Already in Field Will lte i hist Attempt to Lower Bars to Outside Competitors. Repre sented In Both Houses. As might be expected, the mere pro posal of a bill for the repeal or amend ment of the law requiring foreign In surance companies to deposit with the Secretary of State bonds to the amount of $50,000 before being allowed to do business in this state, already lias in vited the opposition of the old-line companies and mutual Insurance com panies, organized and operating under the laws of the state, that are now in the field. These same Interests two years ago successfully prevented an at tempt either to repeal or amend the same statute. . That the deposit law should be amended Is the contention of the lead ing business men and heavy property owners of the city who have taken tho matter up with the Chamber of Com merce, which will propose such a meas ure. They complain that under the existing restrictions, which keep many companies out of the state, it Is im possible for many of the firms carrying heavy Insurance to place all of their risks with companies operating in the state. The same interests favor the creation of the office of Insurance Com missioner and a more thorough regu lation of the insurance business in the state generally. The old line companies will oppose any legislation that will make It pos sible for a greater number of compa nies to enter the field and trespass on their thoroughly established preserves. Those who desire the repeal of the deposit law argue under the existing conditions the 57 non-resident compa nies operating in the state enjoy what amounts to a monoply and that the only chance of obtaining moro reason able rates of Insurance Is ' to permit other companies to come into the Btate. The proposed repeal of the deposit law is opposed by the mutual compa nies on less selfish grounds. They de clare that they will not insist on their opposition to the measure if they can be convinced that insurance rates will be lowered by the Introduction of other companies into the field. Such a result, the mutual companies main tain. Is altogether Improbable, on the theory that the great majority of the companies In the outside states are known as "board' companies, and ad here to the same schedule of rates that are exacted by the companies already operating in the state. These rates, it is charged, are fixed by the Pacific Board of Underwriters, at San Francisco. These same interests will oppose the plan to create the office of Insurance Commissioner at the expense of the state. Instead, they will ask for a Fire Marshal, whose salary shall be met by a small tax on the insurance companies doing business In the state. Such a law is in -force in Ohio, where it is said to operate satisfactorily. The fund for the support of the office is raised by a tax of one-half of 1 per cent on the premiums of each Insur ance company. Such a tax In this state, it is said. would produce between $15,000 and $18,000 per annum, or suf ficient to meet the expenses of the office of a Fire Marshal. In the Legislature the mutual insur ance men will be represented by at least six Legislators, five In the House and one in the Senate, who will be ex pected to look after the Interests of mutual Insurance companies during the session. These men are: Senator Kellaher, of Multnomah; Representa tives Reynolds, of Marion; Buchanan, of Douglas; Caldwell, of Yamhill; Greer and Hlncs, of Washington. Each one of them is directly Interested in one or more of the mutual insurance com panies operating in the state. MAYOR SENDS TtVD VETOES ASKS COl'XCIL TO DO WHAT HE CAXXOT DO. AI.-o Questions Legality of Detailing Firemen at Theaters at City's Expense. Having failed in Ms efforts M secure for the city a right-of-way over certain property owned by the O. R. & N. Com pany, sought by the municipality for the purpose of putting in a sewer. Mayor Lane yesterday sent to the City Council a veto message, in which he declared that his experience In the matter has resulted In gaining the Information that some of the Councllmen are in more intimate relations with the company's of ficials than he is. and he suggests that thev attempt to secure the desired con cession from the corporation. He de clares that in liis belief, from what he learned while trying to get the com pany's permission, that the Councllmen referred to can succeed where he failed, if they will but apply themselves to the task, and he earnestly asks them to do that for the city. The veto message follows: To the Honorable City Council Gentlemen: I return herewith Ordinance No. 1800O, not affirmed.

Respectfully, HARRY I.ANB. Mavor. The Mayor aiso sent in a veto message of the ordinance passed at the last Coun cil session, authorizing the Executive Board to detail city firemen to each per formance of theaters. The contentions of the executive are as follows: I return herewith Ordinance No. 1866ft, not approved. This is an ordinance which pro vides that the Chief of the Fire Department shall detail a regular fireman to be etationed at everv performance in any theater, opera house or other building used for theatrical, operatic or public entertainment In thia city. In respect to thlet ordinance I have to say that In my opinion it Is a measure of spe cial legislation, for the reason that It forces the city to do something which It is the duty of private persms to do at their own ex pense, and which. If their places of amuse ment are unsafe, they should be compelled to do as a matter of public, eafety. If the city is to undertake the task of furnishing firemen for every performance to be given In places of amusement In this city it will have a large and expensive ttsk upon its handa. ami it will have assumed a rcsponeihilltv for certain rl?ki which the ownere. or operators of such places should be obliged to themselves aewime. The Fire Department of the city is organ ized for the protection of the city at large, and If a large number of Its employes are to be detailed to do special duty, to the benefit of private persons, !hoso persons should be made to assume the expense thus incurred. , . . This ordinance attempts to assicn certain employes of the city to employment aside from, and independent of. the public duties which are required of them by the executive branch of the city government, which Is re sponsible for their conduct, and I have Krave doubts respecting the power or the authority of ttie Council to enforce fueh a law. 1 therefore return the ordinance for your fur ther consideration.
