COLLIERS MUST BE TAKEN AS FOUND American Ships Too Few Bring Around Coal for Pacific Fleet. to HUMPHREY GETS A LETTER Secretary Meyer Tells Washington Congressman Sharply That His ' ' Clamor Cannot Be Heeded by the Navy Department. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 23. The Navy Depart ment declines to heed sentimentalists who want the Government to squander thousands of dollars annually for the cake of shipping naval coal from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast In Ameri can bottoms. Rather than pay the high price demanded by American ship own ers the Department would diminish the Pacific fleet, and reduce the quantity of coal to be shipped around the Horn. Representative Humphrey of Wash ington has for years been hounding the -Navy Department In the hope of in ducing them to give these coal trans portation contracts to American ship owners, and it was largely through the x-lamor of Humphrey and those who be lieve with him that the last administra tion agreed to pay American ships 50 Vper cent more for this business than the price asked .by foreign shipowners. 'But even with this margin, the Ameri cans are not satisfied and claim they cannot handle the business for any such "figure. Sharp Jtter Sent Humphrey. Very recently Mr. Humphrey renewed his clamor before Secretary Meyer, and .insisted that the Department ship its coal in American bottoms, or discon tinue the use of Eastern coal, and run the ships of the Pacific fleet with coal mined on the Pacific Coast. The Secre tary came back at Humphrey with a letter, firm in tone and unmistakable in Its- purport, and probably has put a Auletus on the Seattle Congressman for the time being at least. In his letter Secretary Meyer said: "The question of supplying the Pa-x-lfic fleet with coal must be considered from a military standpoint as well as from a commercial one, and as such, involves the following: First, the main tenance of the military efficiency of our naval vessels In the Pacific and the far East; second, the facilities and cost of transportation of an adequate sup ply of the best coal obtainable for our ships; and third, a very important one, the practicability of obtaining Ameri can ships for transporting this' neces sary supply from the Atlantic to the Pacific. "The military efficiency of the fleet requires the use of coal which can be obtained only in Great Britain and in certain Atlantic Coast ranges of the United States. "The Navy Department has, from time to time made tests of coal from the Pacific Coast In the hope that a coal would be found In sufficient quantities and of a quality suitable for our naval vessels; but so far without success. Pa cific Coast coal so far obtainable has proved so deficient in fixed carbon, and has such comparatively large percent ages' of combustible volatile matter, moisture and ash, that its use has been impracticable in naval boilers without fiacrificing the military efficiency of the fleet. Experts from the Geological Survey, employed by the Navy Depart ment for the . purpose, are now com pleting a further investigation of Pa cific Coast coals. These investigations will be continued, and the Department hopes- that some Pacific Coast coal may be found which will end the present necessity for transporting coal from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Ocean sta tions. In this connection, . the Depart ment contemplates further testing of Pacific Coast coals next Fall in one or more of the large armored. cruisers now on the Pacific Coast. "There Is a possibility that a suitable coal will be mined in Alaska, but so far there are no facilities either for mining or transporting it from the mines to tidewater. , Oil Fuel's. Use Grows. "It is also probable that, as the use of oil for marine boilers increases, the supply of fuel for the Navy will be more and more drawn from the Pacific Coast, and at present this' kind of fuel Is be ing used in- the navy yards at Mare Isl- nd and Puget sound. "As it has been demonstrated that the military efficiency of the fleet can not be maintained with the coal so far available on the Pacific Coast, and as a sufficient number of naval colliers is not available for the transportation of this needed supply of coal (the few we have being needed for service with the battleship fleet), the depart ment has been compelled to invite pro pcsa!s(from private shipowners in Order uut iu reuuue ine ii u in u f r or men-oi war In Pacific waters. "In this connection. It may be well to add that the naval collier carries other stores than coal to the fleet and its services are too valuable to the battleship fleet to be diverted simply to carry coal from one ocean to the other when other vessels can be ob tained. Another point which is some times overlooked is the fact that were a naval collier employed to carry coal to tne .racinc it could not get a return cargo, and so the cost of coal deliv ered for the use of the fleet would be chargeable with both the outgoing and return trip or tne collier. "As you are doubtless aware, the law requires advertising for bids, and the department's circular of April 29. 1910 stated 'offers for vessels" of either for eign or preferably American register will be considered. . . . Total ton nage will be taken In American bot toms II price is not excessive.' "In response to this circular issued for the transportation of coal to the .facinc (J oast, there was not an Amerl can vessel offered. American Ships Insufficient. "If American shipowners do not care ito sumblt proposals for this service. or if such proposals when submitted are excessive, the department is com pelled to have recourse to foreign bot toms in order to maintain the efri elency of trie fleet, and this is .not in -violation or either the letter ok. th spirit of the law, but In accordance with it as decided by" the Attorney General October 3. 1907. An excess cost of not over 50 per cent for American shipping has been construed by the President of the United States-as not being excessive In awarding contracts lor this service to American bottoms "Were the department compelled to snip coal only in American bottom it would soon be forced practically to aDonsn tne pacific fleet, or the ap propriation for this purpose would soon 'be exhausted. "The Navy Department is npitlier in italcal &or. y.ea Indifferent to ibe. American shipping Interests, but It must keep within, the law and not ex ceed the amounts appropriated by Con gress for specific purposes. "As American vessels are not avail able, the department is obliged to ac cept the proposals submitted by for eign shipowners, without regard to the character or nationality of their crews, as it is not aware of any law which permits It ; to discriminate between crews of foreign ships or allows It to offer extra compensation to-any ship owner when using American crews. The result of releasing foreign bot toms on the Pacific Coast, upon which you touch in your letter. Is beyond the Influence of the Navy Department."

"There will be no change In the. policy outlined several weeks ago by A. L, Erlanger for the Klaw & Erlanger syn dicate. The syndicate will own thea ters all the way from New York to Port land. They will have to answer to the public for the class of entertainment they will present in these houses." Mr. Cooke came ' to Portland several days ago to arrange for the construc tion of a new theater for Klaw & Erlan ger, but did not give out any definite result of . his work until after he had seen the telegram received by The Ore- gonlan yesterday. Several valuable sites for the proposed new theater were In vestigated by Mr. Cooke, and although he had previously telegraphed recommen dations concerning the Dekum property to New . York, he did not know that the syndicate had made final arrangements with Mr. Sweeny for the construction of the new building, until yesterday. Opinion Is Withheld. When asked for his opinion regarding the reported settlement of the feud be tween the syndicate and the so-called independents, Mr. Cooke refused to ex press himself further than to say it would be best to wait for further infor mat ion in the matter. The official announcement of Klaw & Erlanger Is signed by John Murray, their press representative, and is as follows: NEW YORK, June 23. (To The Ore- g-ontan.) Messrs. Charles Frohman. Klaw & Erlanger yesterday closed an agreement wltn the sweeny Investment Company to build for them a first-class modern theater in Portland, Or. The location is In the block surrounded by -Morrison, Yamhill, Thir teenth and Fourteenth streets. The theater is to be a duplicate of the one contracted for by them -with the Metropolitan Company tn Seattle. Negotiations will be concluded for the erection of similar buildings . In Spokane and Tacoma. within the next few days. Frohman, Klaw & Erlanger will also have theaters in Butte. Winnipeg and Duluth. This gives them a direct connection between t. -Faul, Minneapolis and San Fran Cisco, and is the best answer that can be made to the story published this morning by me so-caiiea inaepenaents.

TRAIN STILL ATTRACTS Advice on Fighting Blight Is Given to Farmers. PRBSCOTT, Wash., June 23. (Special.) Two districts, each having agricultural characteristics distinct from the other, were visited by the Washington State College and Oregon Railroad & Navlga tion Company's farming demonstration train today. - The work began this morn ing at WaHula, where alfalfa grown un der irrigation is the chief work of thoee who till the soil, and ending tonight at Walla .Walla and Prescott, in. a. country famed for Its grain and fruit production. 1 The Interest shown in the two preced ing days was repeated in the journey to day. The train at each of four points where stops were made was visited by large numbers of farmers. At Jouchet. also in the dry belt, a band met the train at the railway station and 250 persons came from the country to gain the in formation offered. Wallule. supplied 125 interested investigators, WaJla Walla 600 and Prescott 350, making the attendance for the day 1325. - In the Walla Walla country the horti cultural experts were asked for advice in a number of instances as to the best methods of combating pests and diseases of fruit trees. Pear and apple blight, now more or less epidemic in the West, has made Its appearance in this section of Washington end the fruitgrowers are showing a desire to combat the trouble energetically. The orchardists were told to cut out every affected branch, pruning well below the diseased part and to dip the pruning knife freo,nently in carbolic acid or corrosive sublimate. Going into Walla Walla today, the demonstration train was halted long enough, at the Blalock tract orchard of 1500 acres for an exhibition to be given to the college instructors and railroad officials of the pressure 'and volume of the artesian wells of the tract. PROBATION PLEA FAILS HUGHES, BIGAMIST DETECTIVE, GIVEN 18 MONTHS. Third Wife Faints When Court Sen tences Man Who Deserted Portland Woman. LOS ANGELES, CaL. June 23. (Spe cial.) Thomas Hughes, private detective, who pleaded guilty to bigamy, failed to win probation in Judge Davis' court to day. Captain A. C. Dodds, chief proba tion officer, after Investigating the case, recommended against granting probation and the court followed his suggestion. A sentence of 18 months in San Quentln was imposed. Hughes' third wife heard the sentence pronounced and fainted. Later she left the courtroom with the assistance of a friend. Through all Hughes' troubles his latest wife has been his staunch ad vocate, and she has promised to wait for him until his prison sentence expires. Hughes' marital career began in Se attle, when he was wedded to Delia Prather, June 15, 1903. He was divorced from her in 1907 and married Clara Kuper in Portland, February 25, 1908. Without obtaining a divorce from her he came to Los Angeles and here, April 18, 1910, was married to Cora J. Beck. Hughes said that be thought he was free to contract the Los Angeles mar riage because he supposed his marriage to wife No. 2 was void.

When a change in food can rebuild a man 77 years ' of age, it Is evidence that there Is some value-In a knowl edge that can discriminate in the se lection of proper food to rebuild the body. A physician attending a Calif, man 77 years old, told him that death from old age would 'soon claim him. He suffered from general weakness and debility. An old lady advised him to quit cof fee and drink Postum and to eat Grape- Nuts food every morning. He took the advice, and has gained 12 pounds. Says he is as well as he ever was. and can take long trips in the mountains, which he had been unable to do for a long time. There is a reason for this; In the first place, coffee acts, as a direct nerve destroyer on many highly organized people, both young and old, and many people haven t the knowledge to se lect nourishing, healthful, rebuilding food. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are made from selected parts of the field grains that contain delicate particles of phosphate of potash and albumen These two elements combine in the human body to quickly rebuild the gray matter In the brain and in the nerve centers throughout the body.

CONVINCING CURE OF SKIN TORTURE Slight Red Eruption Grew, to be Terrible Sleepless Nights and Restless Days Made Life a Burden Was Completely Discouraged. CUTICURA CURED AFTER 16 YEARS OF SUFFERING "For sixteen long years I have been Buffering with a bad case of skin dis ease. While a cmid there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees, caused by a tight, col ored garter. At first it seemed to be a Blight affair but grad ually it waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad ekin disease. I tried many house remedies and also many widely known doctors In dif ferent cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than iu winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. "My hoDea of recovery were br this time spent. Sleepless nights ana rest less days made life an unbearable bur den. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura Remedies and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Rem edies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills) and after these- were gone I was a different man entirely. The Cuticura Remedies certainly did a great deal for me, as it changed my whole career from bad to good. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true cure for skin diseases. Leonard A.
