PROPOSES TKAIYIXG SCHOOIS Duhn McXulty rreparlnj. Recom mendations to Aid Sailors. John McXulty. Naval Expert, In charge of the Hydrographie office In Portland. Is preparing a report for the Washington Jfureau, by request, outlining: a system for the Instruction of navigators in the merchant marine. Mr. McXulty, in re ferring to this matter, said yesterday that ours Is the only flrst-c.a?s power that Jocs not maintain schools of this char acter. France, said he. has schools in 22 cities, where Instruction Is given In nav lKution and branches allied to that sub ject, and Germany and England have uch schools to about the same number. In this country there are three training hips. In Eastern waters, under command of naval ofTicers, where more or less thorough training Is gtven. and there is also one at San Francisco. As a rule, however. If a sailor In ute fo'cntle de sins to learn even the rudiments of marine education he muyt needs provide lillnself with textlxinks and study out Intricate problems unaided, a a result, there are few American sailors with am bition to become thorough master mar iners who have opportunities to perfect themselves in the necessary "book learn ing." Hesides other reasons why some pro vision should be made to educate sailors end equip them for command of vessels of the merchant marine. Is the possibil ity of a poorly educated man Involving the Nation In trouble with a foreign power through the ignorance of the master. Mr. McNulty will propose that the Gov ernment shall establish schools of navi gation for the proper education of sail ors. He says that Inasmuch as the Gov ernment requires applicants for mas ter's papers to stand examination before boards appointed by the Government, and vessels of the merchant marine are sub ject to Inspoctliin. etc., by Federal offi cials, it la no more than fair that means of Instruction should be provided by the same authority. The training ships re ferred to as maintained in Eastern ports are under supervision of state officers and rules, except the naval officers de tained. BRAXDOX GOES OVERBOARD I'assenger on River Steamer Iurlin Lost Xear Astoria. One of the passengers on the river teanier Lurline fill overboard In the bay near Astoria Monday night and was drowned before boats could be lowered and reach him. From papers found In Ills belongings his name was found to be Fred Brandon, and while nothing more could b learned of his Identity it is be lieved that he was a sailor from one of the ships lying at the port. He bought a ticket for Portland Just before sailing time ami was noticed to act as If Intoxicated when he boarded the boat. Captain McCullough, of the Lur line, kept the steamer and small boat In the vicinity for over half an hour In "arch for the missing man but could find no trace of his body. ALXIAXCE TO HAVE WIRELESS Service to Be Installed on Portland- Coos Day Steamer. MARSHFTF.T J. Or.. Jan 5. (Special.)

Glfford & Co. the steamship Ho;ner sailed yeeterday for Port Costa. Dairy products composed the principal cargo of the new boat put on the run to Tillamook on her last trip from that port. On her return trip she carried a good lxed cargo of general merchandise. District Forecaster Beals Is in the vicin ity of Umatilla Installing snow gauges. The heavy fall of snow In the mountains will give him an excellent opportunity to select the most favorable locations fur this new equipment of the service. Owing to the thick weather there was no movement of vessels In the harbor with the exception of the regular line boats yesterday during the snowstorm. These were slowed down and handled with extreme caution. The local Hydrographic office la being equipped with a variety of charts, re ports and naval p;imphle'.s which enable the ofiice to furnish ofilclal information to inquirers on a great variety of sub jects. The late.-t acquisition Is a complete set of British Admiralty charts, conven iently arranged In portfolios. Arrivals and Departures. rORTLAXR Jan. 0.

Real Estate Men and Wage-Earners Flock to Scene of Activity. Announcement of the Intention of the Gregory Investment Company to erect 100 new houses at Gregory Heights, Immediately, to be offered for sale -o waseearners upon terms about equal to their present monthly rent, has crea ted a stir among- dealers In recently platted additions. At the same time, the news was an appeal that seemed to meet with unusually ready response on the part of those for whom this com pany Is Intending the property. Despite the Inclemency of the weather, a great many people have ridden to the end of the Rose City Park carline. seeking further Information regarding- the plans of the new company. Other dealers In similar property have also ventured to Gregory Heights to acquaint themselves with the novel methods of the new com pany. In reply to a great many letters and personal Inquiries as to the date when Gregory Heights will be opened for sale, one of the officials of the com pany made the following statement yesterday: "It Is the Intention of this company to fulfill every promise it has made to the people and a vnst amount of pre liminary work has to be done In order to enable us to carry them out. We have ordered a great many carloads of lumber for building houses and this Is being delivered so slowly that we are disappointed In not having thrown Gregory Heights open to the public long, before this. Building operations have' been Impeded by the weather. However, the rearing of the homes is now started and If permitted by the elements, we will have the tract In pretty good shape by Sunday. Ample announcement will be made In the Portland papers." Work on 16 houses has been started. Every one wil have an Individuality of Its own and no two houses will be built alike In all respects. Some of the most adaptable building lots on the tract have been chosen for these houses and many more will be built as soon as lot purchasers are ready with their plans. The Gregory plan Is a clever one. unknown in Portland, heretofore, and will undoubtedly prove popular. Port land has a large wage-earning popula tion and many of these people have yearned for years for Just such an op portunity as Is now being afforded them by the Gregory Investment Com pany. In order to minimise the coat of selling this property and to sell the lots as cheaply as possible, the com pany maintains Its office on the prop erty at the end of the Rose City Park carline.

Second floor Corbett bid"-. Sib- and Morrison, ... GROCERS TO MEET Begin Third Annual Session in Portland Today. WILL CONSIDER NEW LAWS Resides Taking Tp Methods of Pro posed Legislation, Merchants of State Will near Discussions of Many Practical Subjects. Preparations are complete for the third annual convention of the Retail Grocers' and Merchants' Association, which opens this morning in the auditorium of the Commercial Club. The convention will continue tomorrow and will end with a banquet tomorrow night at the Portland Hotel. Tonight there will be a vaude ville smoker on the top floor of the Mar quam building, to which all grocers of the city are invited, whether members of the Portland associatiifn or not- Delegates were arriving from all sec tions of the state yesterday and there will be many more come this morning. It is expected that the gathering will be the most interesting and profitable of any ever held by the grocers of the state. Tlie credit-rating system, that Is to be perfected Is believed to be one of the best ways yet devised for grocery-men to minimize their losses. This plan will be thoroughly worked out at the coming session. Addresses that are expected to be more than usually Interesting are on the pro gramme. Among these Is the speech scheduled for tomorrow by F. B. Con nolly, who. In addition to being secre tary of the San Francisco Retail Gro cer's Association, is a director of the National Grocers' Association. He will speak on the subject: "Should Manufac turers Fix Retail Prices?" Another address from which the food purveyors expect to glean many Items that will prove profitable is that of W. P. Olds, of Portland, who will speak on "Business Waste." . Eugene is after the next convention of the grocers and It is likely that the gathering will vote to go to the univer sity town next year. President S. L. Kline, of Corvallls, Is being spoken of strongly as the proper man to succeed himself and it Is thought likely he will be re-elected. However, W. T. Schol fieid. of Astoria, Is likely to contest this honor with the present executive head of the organization. Something new In legislation is expect ed from R. H. Grer. of Hillsboro, who Is expected to secure the grocers' -consent at the coming session to a bill com pelling all grocery stores or the state to close on Sundays. As about 90 per cent of the grocers of the state do close their places of business on Sundays al ready. It Is believed the) measure will meet with general support. Secretary Charles B. Merrrck. of the state association, has been a busy man for the past few weeks closing up the details of the convention that opens to day and he believes It will be the most generally attended of any convention the association has ever held. He is con fident that the weather will not mate rially affect the attendance, for he says the grocers In the various rarts of the state have already made arrangements to attend and will not be kept at home by bad weather.

INSANITY IS VIQIOUS Jacob Hilt, Alleged "to Have Heard Confession In Cell, Sent to Asy lum for Mental Vagaries. Hanging Has Been Pelayed. Is Joseph -ruiderson, long proclaimed and denounced as tue assassin of Harry Logan, really innocent? The authorities were compelled to consider that question yesterday afternoon when Jacob Hilt, the man whose testimony convicted An derson, was declared Insane and ordered to Salem for confinement to the State Insane Asylum. Hilt, declaiming; against everything and everybody, was nevertheless able to put up a cunning story In support of his claims that he is entirely sane, when examined by the County Court yester day afternoon. But the man showed subtle lapses of mind and in view of the vicious turns his insanity seems to take there was no hesitation about ordering his commitment. Hilt's latest act con sisted of sending threatening letters to Governor Chamberlain and Superintend ent Jackson, of the County Poor Farm. Inasmuch as it was largely his testi mony that gave a basis for the convic tion of Anderson, there now seems a bright prospect for the convicted man getting a new trial. He Is now at the Penitentiary under a death sentence. He was to have been hanged last June, but there was a hitch, as he has been push ing his case on appeal. Hilt was In the cell with Anderson after the suspect's arrest. He said Anderson confessed to him and told this story to the Jury which tried the case. Anderson denied the. confession and from the first has denied his guilt. Logan was murdered by a highwayman while on his way to his home m South Portland. Anderson was connected with the case by the police, who dug up an overcoat discarded by the murderer and established to their own satisfaction at least, that it belonged to Anderson. Now that Hilt has turned out to be a dangerous lunatic, given to murderous threats and vicious conduct, it Is not at all unreasonable to suppose that he lied about Anderson. The police, however, painted Hilt as the acme of veracity at the time of the trial and alleged they believed his story of a confession Im plicitly.
