M'COURT DISCUSSES CASE As Steamboat Men's Protests Pour In, Mclndoe Appeals to United States District Attorney. People Enjoy Journeys. Continued from First Page.) ter; and that since no mention has been made In the orders of closed evening periods, the draws can be closed only during the three periods established by the War Department for the mornings. It Is evident, county officials say, that the War Department haa been well ad vised of the local situation from start to finish and that the authorities at Wash ington have been receiving; frequent ad vices other than those aent them yester day by Major Mclnloe. That a special officer will be sent here from the capital to Investigate the situation Is the belief of the county officers and some Govern ment officials aa well. The County Court's orders were obeyed yesterday without Interference. Two Boats Delayed. Two boats the Paloma and Dalles City were delayed during the morning periods. The Harvest Queen, of the O. R. A N. line, was held at the Burnside street bridge nearly Si minutes yesterday evening. Owners of the Paloma filed two addi tional complaints with the Government Engineer yesterday. One complaint was filed by the Dalles City's owners, bring ing the total number of protests up to six. the Shaver. Vulcan and Paloma hav ing protested Wednesday evening. Acting upon the protests filed Wednes day. Major Mclndoe sought a conference with District Attorney McCourt. The two officials met yesterday afternoon. Major Mclndoe appeared quite hostile when he called at the Federal building. Tha conference was In no way a love feast. Both officials expressed them selves quite freely and their words at times could be heard out In the corridor. It la evident that they failed to arrive at a conclusion. . Mclndoe Asks Tor Instructions. Major Mclndoe followed his visit by telegraphing to the War Department for Instructions. He also suggested the sus pension of the orders Issued by the local officials. "I shall prepare at once to file formal complaint with the District Attorney." he aald. "Copies will also go to the Attorney-General and the War Department. "I regard-the rules of the County Court as an open defiance of law and of the regulations of the War Department. Of course, that is only my opinion." District Attorney McCourt had not changed his opinion of the situation after the engineer had left his office and still Insisted . that It would be necessary for the latter to present a clear case In order to secure prosecution In the courts. He did not express surprise when ha leaaned of the action of the War Depart ment. McCourt Discusses Situation. "Yes. I had a conference with Major Mclndoe, this afternoon relative to the bridge situation," he said. "He Informed me that several complaints had been lodged with' him. charging a failure and neglect on the part of the bridge-tenders to open the draws within the last two days. He aaid, however, that the' com plaints were not In shape to submit to me at this time, but that he would sub mit them probably tomorrow. I Informed Major Mclndoe that all such complaints would be given careful consideration and that I would make a thorough investiga tion of the liver situation' for the pur pose of determining whether or not the delays complained of were unreasonable In the light of the circumstance in each particular case. "Major Mclndoe and myself disagreed somewhat as to the construction to be placed upon the act authorising the Sec retary of War to promulgate rules and regulations for the opening of draw bridges. "He is disposed to insist that any failure promptly to open the draw pur suant to tbe signal of a river craft Is a violation of law, while I construe the law to be that if a draw la opened pursuant to the signal of a river craft after some delay, the question of fact arises as to whether or not such delay was unreasonable. Mclndoe Is Irritated. "Major Mclndoe considers the direc tion given by the County Court to Its bridge tenders as a direct and wilful violation of the Federal statute, and an Invasion of the Jurisdiction of tha United States, and la considerably ir ritated by what he deems to be a usurpa tion on the part of the County Court of the functions of 'the Federal Govern ment. "He Informed me that the Secretary of War had today Issued a regulation permitting a closed period during the morning, and I apprehend when this fact to brought to the attention of the County Court, it will instruct Its bridge tenders to follow the new regulations of the Sec retary of War and await further showing to the War Department, to secure eve ning closing. "As soon aa I receive the complainta lodged with Major Mclndoe. together wKh his recommendation and opinion thereon. I shall make a thorough and ex haustive investigation of the river situa tion and determine whether tor not any of the cases are proper for prosecution. No auch case, however, can be finally determined until a Federal trial Jury is called, which will probably not occur until tbe first week In October." Goddard Is Interviewed. The District Attorney also conferred with Commissioner Goddard over the tele phone and briefly explained to him tha law In the matter. He suggested that It might be well, uuiess It was learned that the War Department overlooked the detail of providing for closed periods in the evenings, to suspend the evening regulations until further instructions per mitting closed evening periods could be obtained. According to the Information conveyed in the dispatches from Washington, the new regulations are only experiments and may be changed at any time. The period during; which tha tentative schedule will be tried, as stated. Is somewhat Indefinite and leaves plenty of room for changes. The fact that the department has con sented to establish closed periods at all is taken 'a.- an indication by local authori ties that they do not intend to deny the requests of people passing over the bridges In tavorlng the traffic under the bridges. , It is only a matter of time, or until the Washington officials can be made fully acquainted with the situation, that regular closed draw periods will bs obtained. PIONEER IX AGITATIOX JOYOUS Joseph Buchtel See Draws Closed as Result of Efforts. As the original agitator for closing; the bridge draws during the rush hours of the morning and evening, Joseph Buch tel is the happiest man on the East Side over the action of the County Court. It has been 12 years since he first started agitation and 10 years since definite action was taken at his Initiative by the old East Side Im provement Association, when he was chairman of the bridge draw commit tee. In and out of season Mr. Buchtel has worked for the regulation of the draws and was the first to argue for regulation before Major Langfltt. then United Statea Engineer. Mr. Buchtel had arranged for a meeting at the of fice of the United States Engineer ex pecting that he would be backed up by a large East Side delegation. Not a man appeared to help him out, and the room was filled with steamboat captains and river men, all of whom talked against 'any regulation. Mr. Buchtel answered each of them. "The County Court," said the vet eran yesterday, "is fully sustained by the sentiment of the East Side and everybody is delighted. I talked with the bridge engineers and they said that the present plan Is working out finely. The saving of time estimated In dollars and cents cannot be over estimated, and noboby, not even the rivermen. will be hurt the least bit." C. A. Blgelow, of the East Side Busi ness Men's Club, said: "I am sure that the County Court is fully and heartily sustained by all the people of the East Side, and they should not fall to make the County Court feel that It Is being sustained. I think that it will be of vast benefit to the whole of the East Side in every way. The regulation will not Interfere with navigation of the river in the least and the rivermen will find that business will not be hnrt." TIBER SALES OPPOSED IDAHO EX-GOVERNOR SATS IN VESTIGATIONS IS NEEDED. Slate Has Lost Hundreds of Thou sands of Dollars by Fraudu lent Cruising, Is Said. SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.) That there Is question of the legal ity of the sale of timber made In May, 1902, by the State Land Board on the 24.000 acres In the Elk River district, purchased by the Potlatoh Lumber Company, which Is now trying to buy the land on which the timber is grow ing, is the belief of W. J. McConnell, of Moscow, ex-United States Senator and twice Governor of Idaho, who is until the affairs of the land board until the affairs of the land board have been investigated. Ex-Governor McConnell has been in vestigating and In a letter ,to George A. Day, State Land Commissioner, charges the state officials In 1902 with having sold nearly 50.000 feet of tim ber, besides vast quantities of cord wood and tie timber, for $7.50, or less than two cents per 1000 feet, and says that there are many similar instances in connection with this deal, which he contends has lost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars. Governor McConnell also asserts that he has reason to believe that in several Instances only one or two va rieties of timber on a tract would be cruised or estimated and the price based on this estimate, yet a bill of sale conveying all the timber would be issued to the purchaser. That the records of these transac tions cannot now be found la In Itself sufficient Justification for an Investi gation, he says. ; DEAD TOWN MAY REVIVE Building of Railroad May Resusci tate City of Wynoochle. MONTESANO, Wash., Aug. 4. (Spe cial.) A legal question which will likely attract the attention of the entire North west will be decided, when an attempt la made to reincorporate the town of Wynoochle in Chehalis County. Wynoochle was Incorporated In 1890 and a Mayor elected. The following year no election was held and since then the corporation haa been dead. When the Oregon & Washington built its road through the ' townsite, the question whether the corporation was still alive waa brought up. Certain men wanted the corporation to remain dead, while others wanted It revived and, as a re sult, the records of the first and only election held 20 years ago have been se cured from the Secretary of State. An election Is planned to be held ss soon as legal. As the Oregon & Wash ington Railway Company was granted a right-of-way through the streets by the County Commissioners, a legal battle will ensue.

Lincke STRIKE CRISIS NDlV EXPECTED SUNDAY Meeting of Waterfront Feder ation Regarded as Strat , egically Important, EMPLOYERS ARE WAITING Chairman Beckwith Predicts That There Will Be No Strike, After All Police Protection Is Still Necessary. It Is now believed that Sunday will be the crucial day In th Portland strike situation. That day. Instead of Fri day, may decide whether Portland shall be tied up in a general strike of all the unions In sympathy with the team sters. A special meeting of th waterfront federation will be held Sunday morn ing at th labor temple, the avowed object being to decide the question of a strike in sympathy with the steam sters. Siv organizations make up this federation, . two longshoremen unions, the gralnhandlers, the portable and hoisting engineers, the riggers and liners .and tha waterfront teamsters Because of this last group the water front federation is supposed to stand closer to the striking union than any other, and the lira move in a sympa thetic strike, therefore, is logically ex pected to come from this direction. This federation is represented on the Central Labor Council Joint committee of 30 by five men, and it is said that at the regular nightly meeting Wednesday night the Sunday meeting was suggested by them. Altogether this division num lers about 1000 men. Agreement Against Strike Made. There Is in existence an agreement be tween these unions and the Chamber of Commerce, signed last year, by which this branch of labor is pledged not to engage in any industrial disturbance for at least a year. It. is said the unions, however, believe tbe stand taken by the Chamber of Commerce for the open Bhop gives them sufficient justification for breaking this agreement. In this division, however, as in all the other branches of the Council, there Is grave dissension as to whether a general strike is the right course to take. Both sides will thresh out their arguments at the meeting Sunday morning. There is reason to suppose that once again the "crisis" may be delayed. The committee of 12 representing the employing Interests of Portland did npt consider Its dally meeting necessary yes terday morning. "There was nothing for us to do," said Harvey Beckwith, chairman, "for there has been no change In the situation. The task of placing the open-shop placards in the windows of the retail stores of the city has been practically completed by the secretaries of the various employers' organizations. There was even less ob jection met than was expected. We can not do anything until the unions decide whether or not they will strike. Our work is educational, anyhow, for it is our task to teach Portland the deplorable conditions following a closed town, as the unions want, and do all we can to advise Portland to remain an open-shop town, where neither unionism or non unionism is favored. Strike Is Doubted. I am glad to say that Portland Is becoming known as an open shop town, and that many skilled workmen, attracted by this reputation, are com ing here looking for work. In case of a strike these men stand ready to step into the strikers'- places and there are thousands more who will come with the same object. There is going to be no strike, however. That is the care ful opinion of a very large majority of the employing Interests of Portland." Police Captain Baty, In charge of the day relief, which most has had the teamsters' strike to handle, says there is still need of police protection for the non-union drivers. "When the policeman is off his guard the driver is very apt to get knocked down," said Captain Baty. '"Every morn ing the relief is warned to look out for the nonunion men, and if it were not for the police guards with the driyers there would be serious trouble. "Picketing has decreased to a great extent. It is not like the first days of the strike now. Then, too, the men who give us trouble are the! young hoodlums who belong to the union. We have no trouble with the old drivers. "I do not think there will be a general strike. There are too many men paying for their lUtle homes on installments, and they cannot afford to stop work. They do not want to lose their homes, so they will work to continue their payments." CRIPPLED GIRLCRAWLS FAR invalid Drags Herself by Arms, to Tell of Mother's Death. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 4.
