TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVE3IBER 23, 190D. 12 LOCAL BOYCOTT IS lil STATU QUO Both Harriman Lines and Job bers Aver They "Stand Pat." JOBBERS BEGIN O'BRIEN General Manager Lays Whole Blamo on Wholesalers, While A. LewU Ketorts Shipping Is Withdrawn Because of Tnkcpt Pledges. There is little prospect that the differ ences between the Harriman lines and ihr.A larce iobbine firms of this city Allen & Lewis, Ctoseet & Devers and tlie Pacific Coa-st Biscuit Company will be adjusted soon. Bach side charges the other with beinff responsible for the ti-mintinn of their business relations nnd each side shows an equal determina tion to stand pat. General Manager O'Brien, of the rail- ; road comany, insists that the three job- j bors started the trouble by withdrawing their freight business from the Harriman system, which retaliated by transferrins Its oatronaee to other jobbers. On the other hand, the jobbers admit that they diverted their freight shipments to other i transportation lines, but aver it was because of non-fulfillment by the O. K. & N Company of promises to construct a railroad Into Central and Southeastern Oregon. The jobbers declare they will withhold from the Harriman roads all their business so long as that system maintains its present attitude towards , them in a business way. O'Brien Maintains Position. "It does not seem to me that it is necessarv further to discuss this mat ter." aid Mr. O'Brien yesterday. "I made a statement in The Sunday Ore conian In which I reviewed the situa tion, and the material facts as stated st that time have not been denied either by Mr. Devers or Mr. Lewis. The situa tion involves only three or four firms that withdrew their freight business from our lines until certain things occurred beginning the construction of a railroad Into Central Oregon which they knew we were powerless to perform until the Government officials had approved our maps of survey. Messrs. Devers and Lewie, however, are incorrect when they assert that Porter Bros, had begun operations on the Deschutes before the Harriman contractors. The fact Is we had awarded to Twohy Bros, a contract and this firm had several hundred men the ground and actually at work be fore. Porter Bros, put in an appearance. "When we did begin our operations these same firms expected us to do usiness with them in purchasing sup plies. j nis we refused to do. in view of the fact that they were boycotting our lines tnenwelves and had endeavored to organize a general boycott against lis. .now they are playing the baby act but they are only reaping the logical i'onppience of their own action. They slarted .the thing, and it is a poor rule that does not work both ways." Central Oregon; at least there has been no visible proof . BuftineM Promised to Hill. Kvery merchant who was at this meeting said he was either giving or would give the northern roads the bulk of his busi ness. Promptly after this, O. R- & S. rep resentatives were out on the street. They called on us and argued that they were going to build, etc.. etc. I said I felt they should give practical demonstration, as they had so often fallen down on their promises. Please note that as I was a member of the sub-commtttet and had been at the moeting I could not well change position unless another meeting were held. Not very long afterwards th Tytle road waa again undertaken and the road down the Deschutes, etc. Contra tors on this work informed us whan we solicited their business that they had been Instructed not to buy from Allen & Lewis. On inquiry I f'jund that there were others boycotted, but only those who were members of tho sub corn mine of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, In justifying this, the O. R. & N. Co. took the position that because we did not trade with them they would not allow any one under their control to trad with us. This was perhaps just enough as far as it went. But they went further and denied anyone the right to bring into the conten tion the fact that the Initial fault was theirs and that their unfulfilled pledges put the burden on them. There have been timos when thev have directly sought the aid of the transport tlon committee. In this case, besides try Ing to demoralize the committee, as th actively did. they assumed the position tha the committee could not deal with them an undertook to punish the individual mem bers of the sub-committee. The result is that because we have becf consistent members and by our position obligated to be consistent, we are supposed 10 oe indefinitely DiacKiisten ior punisnmen This, analyzed, seems 1 0 me to mean that if any committee of the Chamber of Com merce may work hard enough to dlstur. the O. R. &. X. Co. it must be prepared 10 suner in us individual relations wit the O. R. & X. Co. Hardly a creditabl position for the Chamber of Commerce to occupy.

"In speaking for the Harriman lines Mr. O'Brien is mistaken when he says that concerted action was undertaken amonjr the Jobbers constituting the mem- Imrshin of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce with a view to orjranizinK a general boycott against that system." said A. H. Devers. yester day. "What If beinjr done is the result of individual arnj voluntary action on the part of local jobbers. "Some time ago at a meeting of the transportation committee of the Oiarrflwr cf Commerce, members of the executive committee of that organization announced that, in view of the failure of Harriman to build a railroad Into Central Oregon as lie had promised, they proposed to divert their business from that system until Its tnanagement had made good its promise. tVe never solicited similar action on the part of any other jobber attending or rep resented at the meeting. 'e withdrew our patronage only because we consid ered we were acting in the best interest of Portland and the state. "About the simp time we tried t In terest Mr. Hill -in building a railroad up the resrhute9 Into negltcted Central Ore gon. "We were apprised by Mr. Hill that If was Impossible for him to do so at that time a he had other work to do sewhere. However, by some mysterious Influence. It was not long until the Oregon Trunk began operations and the fact soon developed that Hill was the real nsenry at work. It was not until then that the Harriman forces got busy. Credit Claimed for Deschutes Road. "YV do not claim all the credit, but we do feel we have been influential in bringing about the present activities in railroad construction up the Deschutee Itiver. H'e are satisfied to give our busi ness to those people that made possible the building not only of one but two railroads Into territory we bad for years bfen entreating the Harriman people to invade. We are reasonably satisfied that the Harriman Interests never intended to build and would not now be building their reschutes railroad but for the fact that Hill took the Initiative." Herman 'Wittenberg, representing the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company, the third frm involved in the "boycott" controversy. Is out of the city. L. A.

Henre I fe?l more or less forced to make this defense, viz: Allen A Iewis have been members of the transportation committeo of the Chamber of Commerce for several years and 1 have h.fa a member of an active sub-committee. It has been considered part of our work during; that time to try and aid tho de velopment of the state by urging the con struction of a railroad into Central Ore gon not a crime In Itself and a good deal of work had oeen done In this direction. Several times the O. K. A X. Co. has given out that it was on the point of building. I.ast year Mr. Harriman announced to the people of Oregon through Governor Cham berlain that a road would be built in the near future. Some months ago a meeting of the trans portation committee was called. (I per sonally had not urged the meeting and knew nothing before I attended of Its ob- J-ct.) There were preeont between 20 and 30 of the leading business houses of the rity. It was brought to their attention that there was no evidenre in sight of any serious intention of the O. R. & X. Co. to carry out its promise to build. It was argued that this being the case it was more suitable for the people of Portland to give th:ir business to the northern lines, which had been actively at work building rew roads, than it was to patronise the O. It. A X. Co., which was doing nothing and Ignoring promises. ill was and is common belief that until Iorter Bros, started, the O. R. A X". Co.

At midnight the curtain waa rung down and Chief of Police Cox' order, promulgated just one month ago, scheduling last night's lid-clamping, be. came effective. Sergeants pent out by Captain Baty after 12 o'clock reported 'all's well." The' finale was attended by a full chorus, singing "Gee, But This Is a Lonesome Town." At 12.o'cIock red lights that burned for months previously in both the North End and South End, went out. Curtains were drawn. Artless art treasures were packed 1n battered trunks and gaudy kimonos wore discarded. The last night of a restricted district in Portland was not attended by the "gigan tic Jag of Joy," usually in evidence on such occasions as the report had gone forth that the houses would not bo open last night. As a consequence the police were given little trouble, in handling the crowds. In several instances the houses closed early and made up a "hopping' party, composed entirely of the women. During the past few days, say the police. there has boon a notable exodus of wo men and their mal3 consorts from the citv. An effort will be made." said Chief Cox. "to run these women out of the city, but as of old we expect trouble in this respect.

That the police will have trouble. goodly amount of it,, in ridding the city entirely of these women, is tho statement accredited to some of the leaders of the tinder world. In several instances the women own their furniture and hold long lewises, and while pretending to obey the law. will conduct rooming-houses.

SEfBSCOSTIlOOO.OOO STREET IMPROVEMENTS TO BE HEAVY IX 1010. Propo.-ed Extension of Brooklyn Proposition Will Cost Close to $225,000 Alone. City Auditor Barbur yesterday after noon announced that, in all probability, the proposed extension to the Brooklyn sewer, which is contemplated to be dug from Marguerite avenue and Division street through the Sunnyside district and as far north as Taylor strept, will cost about J22T..X. This constitutes the north east branch, and Is a continuation of the main sewer, which cost JlSO.flnO. and which has but recently been taken over by the city. "I figure that It will cost the people living in the Brooklyn sewer district not less than J2.0ni.ooo before they have com pleted the project of drainage and sew age," said Auditor Barbur. "They must not only pay for the sewers, but also for laterals and all equipment necessari? for this large territory, but the advantages to be gained by U are so much more than enough to offset the cost that it is not worth consideration. It must be had, and I do not look for many remonstrances." The north branch extension provides laterals all through the district, which will be laid in South Sunnyside, Waverly- Kiehmond and adjoining territory. flans are being prepared for the cen tral branch, which will run out the Powell Valley road, and for the branch which will run along the south side of Kenilworth. to provide sewerage for Waverleigh, Kenilworth and the sur rounding territory, which will cost at least tijO.O more. For the district west of Milwaukie street to the Willamette river and toward Holgate the lateral sewers will probably cost SiSO.000. so that property owners in the Brooklyn sewer district will be called on to pay fully $1,000,000 by the close of 1910. Kills Her for Of 20 Years. "The most merciless enemv T had for 20 years." declares Mrs. Jalnes Duncan, of Haynesville. Me., "was Dyspepsia. I suffered Intensely after eating or drink ing and could scarcely sleep. After many remedies had failed and several doctors pave me up. I tried Electria Bitters, which cured me completelv.

"Can be depended upon" Is an expres sion we all like to hear, and when it is used in connection with Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy it means that it never fails to cure diar rhoea, dysentery or bowel complaints. It is pleasant to take and equally valu able for children and adults. Injury to Business of Port Is Threat ened if Comhine of Interests Is Effected Legal Phase of Proposition Vnsettled. In objecting to the proposed leasing of the municipal drydock by the Port of Portland to a private corporation, organ ized labor, shipowners and men directly Interested in shipping from this port are co-onerating. - Labor unions fear that if the city dock Is leased the firm obtaining possessison might adopt an "open shop" policy and reduce the wage schedule. Shippers and sltipowners oppose the proposed leasing of the plant because they believe it will make possible the creation of a monopoly by which excessive charges for repairs could be charged, and In consequence this port given a "black eye," as a rep resentative of the Board of .Marine Un derwriters yesterday expressed himself. "The proposal of outside parties to lease the city's drydock plainly Is a more toward establishing a monopoly here which would control all repairs on ves sels entering this port," said William B. Honeyman, an insurance appraiser, yes terday. "Ship carpenters and shipowners have received unmistakable Intimations of this fact. Furthermore, they have the knowledge that the applicants for this lease from the. Port of Portland have felt so confident that their applica tion would receive ' favorable considera tion that they have sought to employ in advance a man as superintendent to take charge of the municipal plant when they should take it over under the lease. Private Interests Active. "These same-' interests have written letters to the officers of the Board of Underwriters in San Francisco, complain ing against the local representatives of the insurance companies and charging that theso agents are unfriendly to the owners of the private dock in this city These complaints were based principally on the fact tjiat these agents refused to allow certain charges for repairs which were ehareed by this concern In excess of charges for the same service by other drydocks in the country. "I am unable to find any provision in the charter by which the Port of Port land was created and authorised- to build a drydock. under which ft has the right to lease that property or turn its opera tion over to any private interest." Speaking as the local representative for Lloyd's." said Henry Hewett, yester day. "I will say that the leasing of tho city's drydock or any other disposition of that property which would result in limiting the competition for making re pairs to ships visiting this port would be serious mistake. The underwriters reel that only one result would follow the easing of this plant, owned by the city. to private Interests. That result, they are convinced, would be the creation of a combine which would advance the cost of all repairs to an extent that the busi ness of this port would be seriously affected. Authority to Lease Questioned. 'Why should the drydock be leased from the city? Is there any public de mand? The drydock was built and is being operated In the Interest of the port and not to yield the city a direct finan cial revenue. There can be no good rea son why any private company should desiro possesssion of the city plant 'if cept for selfish purposes, since there is pot work, enough here' to keep one dock busy all of the time. While the members of the Port of Portland are all my friends, I am of tha opinion that they cannot afford to meddle with the situation or to modify the sys- em under which this property is now being operated by the city. I have very serious doubts If the commissioners have ny authority to lease the dork and I believe their counsel will so advise them." Although the members of the sub-com mittee appointed by the Tort of Portland ave held several informal meettmps. the membess have not concluded their tivestigation as to the advisability of en erlng into a lease and turning the opera- ion of the drydock over to others. Neither has this committee obtained a egal opinion as to whether or not, under charter, it has the authority to do nythlng with the plant other than to operate It in, the Interest of the port. Members Seek Information. a running leap from one of tlie aisles to the stage. "Dreamona" Is the title of a sketch in which Mclntyre and Heath's well-worn theme of a hungry negro is utilized, and a sleep walker is introduced, giving monologue. The sketch, which is' pro duced by Eva Taylor and company, is without coherence of plot, and at the end one wonders what It is all about. Meyers and Rosa are a cowboy and girl who do all sorts of seemingly impossible things with the lasso, and in their hands the rope seems a thing of life. Their act is a novelty, and as such is distinctly entertaining. Florence Bindley is described on the programme as "the versatile comedienne, and she certainly makes good. Florence has everything, and she sings character songs, plays the xylophone and gives a planologue with equal verve. Besides, she displays about four costumes with telling effect. Her imitation of a French music hall singer's rendition of "I Dreamt I. Dwelt in Marble Halls" is kill ing, and she plays "The American Patrol" very well on the xylophone. John Birch, "the man with the hats," is a whole show in hims3lf. He gives a burlesque on a melodrama, and plays all the characters with no other change of costume than using a variety of hats. As a protean artist, he is decidedly original. The Four Floods, who close the bill, have an acrobatic act with comedy trim mings. The acrobats are good enough to give a straight turn, and their comedy is amusing. Between acts Jean Durocher, who con ducts tho noisy end of the orchestra, played "Amina" as a xylophone solo, and gave "Wild Cherries" as an encore. By the way, one of the enjoyable features of a performance at the Orplieum is always the orchestra. It is a musical organiza tion of a high character, and the prelude numbers and the selections rendered while the motion pictures are being shown, are always good. Besides, the orchestra aids in no small measure to make.many of the acts "go" well. John F. Cordray yesterday assumed management of the Orpheum, succeeding the late James H. Errickson. W hile Mr. Cordray does not expect to remain per manently with the Orpheum, that la a matter that has not been definitely determined. Pantagcs U is a trained sealion, who this week is showing his prowess before audiences at Pantages. Dick, as the star is- called, comes with his trainer. Captain Stone wall, direct from the Hippodrome, New York, and does some remaraaoie eiuuw with his jellylike body. Riding on toe back of a eailoDing pony, balancing a baton at the same time and laughing and applaudiug his own efforts are parts of his entertaining act. Juggling of an acute form is another pretentious feature of the bill, whioli w given by W. S. Harvey and Madge Aji- Uerson. The interior of a oouaoir is shown, Harvey jauntily balancing the life-sized furniture, a commode, bureau nd a double bed, all on the tip or aid chin. Another novelty that ue oners is the trick of holding a burning paper on his nose, which fails, unfortunately, to burn him. Golden. Ardith and Ardmore nave a novel skit, both athletic and musical. One of the trio represents, various characters, the spice of tlie act, though, being a bur lesque bout in the manly art of self-. dc-feuse. Jarvls, Mann and Jufenda sing well enough alone, but collectively are in wrong. The feminine end wears a sinan. looking gown and has a fairish voice. Billed as- eccentric comedians are fcwm and Casey, of the blackface variety, un weird and unmusical instruments they manage to extract concord ot sweet sounds. Imitation of chimes being the most pleasing of the repertoire. Glen Burt, a Hebrew comedian ana monologist. prattles on merrily and has a line of foolishly funny talk. "Shino on. Harvest Moon" and "My Brudder Syl- vest," both parodied, are mirth pro- okers and called for several encores. Animated pictures averagoly interesting complete the bill. 1 -i I J One of the Important Duties of Physicians end the Well-informed ot tne wona is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment end the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, bit as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of th combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives,' and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians, and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as- more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. Louisville, Ky. San Francisco, Cal. U S. A. London, England. New York, N. Y. pear three singers, who warble well, and call themselves the Parisian Minstrels. Undoubtedly this is one of the best bills seen at this popular playhouse In some time. A J. C. Ainsworth. member of the com mittee, said yesterday that every phase the ouestlon Is being examined. In cluding the charge that the leasing of the dock would result in creating a mo nopoly. He said that the commissioners re as much opposed- to making possible nv combine as are those who oppose the leasing of the property and that the rec ommendations of the committee will rep resent only that action which the com missioners believe will be In the interest f all- concerned. New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses ' Orplieum. THERE'S another of those well-balanced vaudeville bills at the Orpheum this wcek. the kind that give you two hours of clean, interesting amusement, with nothing whatever to tar the thought and no plot to follow; just a variety of acts calculated to scotch dull care and furnish a wholesome laugh or two. None of the turns Is extraordinarily good, and it may be said also that none is at all bad. Considerable interest was lent to the ap pearance of Rosa Roma, violin virtuoso, because she is the bride of Chester N. Sutton, the first manager of the Or pheum in Portland. Mr. Sutton is now stationed at Stilt .Lake City, and he and his wife have not met since the day thev were married, as Miss Roma was obliged to hasten away to fill her en gagement. Miss Roma made a hit yes terday, her playing showing much school ing and considerable temperament. She played first. Hauser's "Hungarian Rhap sody," a piece of considerable technical difficulty, and there gavsj, with her violin "muted." the welllbeloved "Traumerel." Her response to an encore was s medley of Southern airs. Stella H. Morrisini's leaping Siberian wolf hounds aroused enthusiasm with their wonderful jumps. The wolf hounds were not the only thing worth notice in the act. which is exceedingly well dressed. Two black shetlands and a number of email dogs contributed liberally, and the turn ended with, one of the hounds making: j Grand. CORKING good show is the Grand's current bill. Two of the acts par ticularly stand out, namely, Tom Linton nd his Jungle Maids In a "Zulu Festi val," and Josephine Gassman and her three pickaninnies. Miss Gassman is not the genuine dyed-ln-the-wool negressthat she leads us to suspect until she removes her gloves, but her voice, appearance and mannerisms seem part and parcel of the Sunny Southland. For life and go the act is tip-top. The three pick aninnies are genuinely funny, and do a squat dance that a Russian might envy. One of the trio In the garb of a boy sings in a peculiarly appealing soprano voice. Billed as the feature stunt are the seven pretty Jungle maids, presided over by Linton in the guise of a missionary, and Nell Winters, a girl of pleasing voice and presence. The girls are strong on looks, but a trifle" shy on voice. How ever, with the elaborateness of their cos tumes and the breezy swing of the dances this active chorus proves justly popular. Inza and Lorella do some hazardous stunts in midair, particularly their leap ing, which is of the greyhound type. The only marring feature is slap-stick comedy, which they apparently think necessary. A sketch, "Cupid's Coincidence," proves interesting as played by Alexander Von Jlitzel and Miss Maynard. who are re- , crults from the legitimate, the latter hav ing appeared with Mine. Modjeska and the former with Blanche Walsh. W. C. Hoefler. who is said to have originated a number of bicycle stunts, opens the bill, showing a few hitherto untried tricks.
