Need of Postal Banks. The advantages of postal savings banks were told by Mr. Carter In a most attractive manner. A sound business re lation, he said, can never ha maintained with reckless or improvident people. He who spends all and saves nothing be trays himself and those dependent upon him and In the end he will cheat some body and ' blame everybody. He con tinued: The combined powers of the werld would riBh In an attempt to conquer the Amerl- n people and hold possession of this I country. Our po.er to resist outside pres sure Is Invincible. But who can forecast the Issue of the event should a troublesome prrcentase of Hie Roverend require an In crease of our stnndtiiK Army to the rela tive proportion , of the average European war eotahllshment ? You; gentlemen of af fairs, are deeply concerned In having pru dent rather than reckless people to deal with. The Onvernmcnt In Interested In nur turing the affection, devotion and Interest .1 me people in Its welllielng anil the iuhskcs are profoundly concerned in the K row tii of prudence, thrift and patriotism. He said it was impossible for savings hank facilities to reach all the people in rural sections, tin the other hand the tlovernmcnt, w ith 40,000 money order 'post offices, could do this work, to the great lenclit of the country at large. He showed the -extent to which postal sav ings banks are operated abroad. He In sisted that this work could not be called banking In its Hue sense, so that bank ers who opposed the system do so with out Ju.stiticatioii. t'usliiitnii loscrlhes Canal. Mr. I'ushtnan spoke on a "l-ayman's I'lctntc of the Panama Canal." describ ing the enterprise as one that touched the Nations prosperity and makes for its., prestige. He sought to dispel cer tain Ideas that have been advanced as to the scope and plan of the canal. lie said : The various degrees of misconception re FHrrilnjr Hits groat waterway varv from those wliu ihink It Is merely the iUgging of a wlile. sliilllnw- ditch across a narrow.

Kver since the first days session of the Jury, when Edwin T. Karl laid be fore the inquisitors certain document ary evidence, it became apparent that Oswald was the essential witness of the AMERICAN NATION Inquiry, the man without whom the in vestigation must come to an abrupt termination. Search was commenced for him. $1000 reward was offered and the District Attorney made 'public an nouncement through the newspapers of Immunity, provided Oswald would re turn and tell the truth. Three adjournments of the grand Jury were taken in the hope of Os wald's return. It was admitted that, had he not returned today, the inquiry might have ended. Oswald probably will be with the Jurors for two or three days, as there are numerous- ramifica tions of the probe which he will be called upon to elucidate. Other wit nesses called today, including "William Lawrence Fetter. John Fohl, G. Kaeuff er and Pierre Lamberes, were excused as soon as It was learned that Oswald was on hand. These other witnesses are held subject to call when they are wanted. ITnder Ball for Perjury. Oswald, prior to entering the grand jury room this morning, was taken to Judge James' department of Ahe Su perior Cour on the indictment returned by the jurors April 6. charging him with giving perjured testimony before the last county grand jury, November 30. 1908. Oswald offered a bond of $5000 and Judge James accepted it as aumcieni ior Oswald s appearance when wanted. After arraignment Oswald was allowed to go. his case being con tinued indefinitely to be set later. "Just exactly to the day four weeks ago when I disappeared." said Oswald today. "Where did 1 go?" he added, in reply to a question. "Nobody knows except myself and the person 1 was with. And nobody will know, for the present, at deast. "I was far enough away to fool them all. They couldn't have found me in a hundred years. I was never In a train from the time I left I.os Angeles until 1 returned. I received no letter or com munication from any one in Los An geles while I was gone. The only way I kept In touch with things was through the newspapers.

When I decided to come to Los Angeles Friday night 1 started out on foot. Most of the way I came by wagon and on horseback. I never entered a train or a trolley car and saw mighty few people. If those I did see had known me. it would have, done them no good, as I had a month's growth of beard on my face that concealed my Identity. I reached Los Angeles Saturday night at 7 o'clock. At 8:30 I was in the cus tody of Mr. Blair, who stayed with me until this morning." HOPE TO SAVE INDIANA Wrecked Vessel's Cargo Will Be Partly Available. - SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. A wire less message received by the Merchants Exchange today states that the stranded steamer Indiana, of the ' Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which was wrecked at the entrance to Magdalena Bay a week ago. lies a mile northeast of Point Tosco. 100 feet from shore. The vessel, from the engine-room forward, rests on a number of large boulders. The. engine-room and fire-room are leaking, but the water is under control. A diver bolonging to the Navy Is at the scene, but has not yet made an examina tion of the vessel. It is hoped to save about 700 tons of the cargo, which in cludes 6000 bags of coffee. JAPAN WANTS SUBMARINES Is Negotiating AVitli American Firm for Plans and Specifications. NEW YORK. April 12.-The Japanese government is negotiating with an Amer ican builder of submarine boats for the purchase of plans and specifications for a new type of submarine of smaller model than the type now In common use. but of double speed. It Is stated that the proposed new craft would have about the same destructive power as the present type. The purpose of the Japanese govern ment, if the negotiations be successfully concluded. Is to send draughtsmen to New York to make drawings under the direc tion of the American builder, but to build all the new boats in Japan.

Owing to fact that Longs bondsmen failed to have their signa tures acknowledged before a notary the instrument had to be returned to Sa'.em. In consequence the defendant will have to remain in the Multnomah County Jail until this error has been rectified. Two Hoys Are Runaways.

WORK IS TO BE RUSHED As Soon as Port or Portland and War Department Give Permission, Construction Will Start May Require Year and Half. (Continued from First Page.) gon str.eets. . The entire length of tho new structure, including approaches, will be 1875 feet. The west approach will start on the east line of Third street and thence fol low Glisan street, to where it will curve to the left, crossing the river to the in tersection of East Adams and Oregon streets. The bridge will be a double track, double-deck structure, and de signed to accommodate both railroad and highway traffic. The channel spans will consist of one 383-foot draw span and one 315-foot fixed span. The upper deck will be used for highway purposes and the lower for rail road business, as In the present bridge. Ihe west approach will be of viaduct con struction and will be built on a 6.4 per cent grade. This will make a much easier approach to the bridge than on the Steel bridge, where the grade is 8 per cent. The east approach will also be of viaduct construction, and will be built on a 3 per cent grade. Width to Be 50 Feet. - The total width of the new bridge from outside to outside of sidewalks, will be approximately 50 feet, or 20 feet wider than the present Steel bridge. The new structure is designed of steel and will be adapted to the heaviest railroad and highway loading, its approximate weight being 11.000.000 p-ounds. The east river span, or fixed span, is to be flared at the east end to allow trains to turn either to the north or south. In order to design the superstructure. It has been necessary to make test bor ings. These are now being carried on under the direction ot Chief Engineer Boschke to determine the character of the material in the river bed for the bridge foundations. On the West Side these borings have been carried to a depth of 180 feet below low water. The channel piers of the proposed bridge will be approximately 150 to 160 feet in height from the base to the bridge seats. Steel. Bridge Built 2 0 Years Ago. . The present Steel bridge has done val iant service for the past 20 years.' having been built in 1889 under the direction of George Morrison, one of the most promi nent bridge engineers of the past genera tion. That the bridge has stood so well under the heavy burdens put unon It is really remarkable. When the structure was erected. It was put up to sustain railroad locomotives or about ' 40 tons with correspondingly light trains. Every day locomotives are being run across the bridge weighing 200 tons, with their water and coal supplies, and draw ing enormously heavy trains, both freight and passenger. In addition to this, the highway traffic on the upper deck, which Is said to be particularly trying to the strength of the bridge, has been in creased to a remarkable degree. In fact, the builders never dreamed the structure would ever be called upon to sustain such heavy traffic as it now carries every day When the new bridge is completed it will probably be called . tee "railroad bridge." or the "O. R. &. N. bridge," in order to get away from the misleading term, "Steel bridge." RAILROAD'S PLANS OPPOSED Push Club Will Fight Location of Bridge at Oregon Street. At a meeting last night of East Side property-owners, held under the auspices of the Steel Bridge Push Club at 232 Holladay avenue, a committee was ap pointed to confer with the Port of Port land Commission relative to the location of the Steel bridge. It was the sense of the meeting that the hriH.a ct,.,u i. . r, ouiruiu ue re tained In Its present location or that it should be removed not further than 300 feet south. It Is known that the railroad company desires to build the bridge at Oregon street, about three blocks south of the present site, but those attending last night's meeting are opposed to this on the ground fhat It would Injure the property In the vicinity of Holladay ave nue, and furthermore, owing to the fact that Oreeon Rtreet l Knt . : . . ... - -j .en me ana this would not permit of traffic. The .,i...1, ol ine committee appointed last night are: Frank Clarno, Henrv Black man. H. Rankin, J. G. Cole and W C Wheeer.

No steps have yet been taken on the lne separate of hees of the two roads affected hut it is generally expected in railroad circles that this will take place shortly-. The same holds true of the situation here. The Soo and Canadian Pacific lines are making such a strong bid for business in this territory that a fur ther consolidation is regarded a strong probability. The centralization of the offices of the Canadian interests and an enlarged staff of officials to solicit business In this territory ls expected to be announced soon. It is said, however, that buslne-s rea sons may delay this step. It is be lleved by some that the retention of the present name and organization of the Wisconsin Central would secure more traffic in the home territory of the road than for the Soo to take over the business at once. If the reorgani sation that is likely comes, it is ex RAILROAD SPAN 0 00 UKUOMAX. TUESDAY. pected the Wisconsin Central name will Vbe retained by the Soo road. In part ext. i caa u. ...

ANGRY OVER TREATMENT Mrs. Adams Says Owners Try to Evade Bill for Dogs' Keep. Mrs. S. B. Adams, of 630 Washington street, keeper of the King Hill kennels, is very Indignant about the treatment she has received at the hands of own ers of dogs who owe. her. money for bills they have allowed to run up for keep ing the canines in the kennels. Mrs. Adams also denies that It was "neces sary for Constable Wagner to kick in the door when he came to the house with a writ to take the dog of Harry Litt away from the premises. Litt made complaint to the officers that Mrs. Adams was holding the dog for an ex orbitant board bill, and took the legal steps to recover his pet. Then Litt it is said, professed that the dog was in the last stages of the mange, and took the animal t a dog hospital. "Every word of that is false," said Mrs. Adams, "and the statement shm.t the mange was just made to injure me and my business because I have insisted that people should pay their bills. It was Known when the dogs were put into my kennels what my charges were, and now an attempt is made to injure me to keep fi.om paying the bills. I will have the best veterinaries in the city to prove that the rlnu-s that are kept here are in the best ot condition. I have for customers some or the best people of the town, and I can't afford to have people saying things like that about me." ICE SURROUNDS FERRIES Ann Arbor Boats in Peril From Great Lake Floes.
