TTTTv TOTSyiXG OREGOXTAX TUESDAY. AUGUST 9, 1910. 12 EACH DELAY WILL BE BASIS OF SUIT New War Department Regula tion for Draws Not Yet Rec ognized by Mclndoe. COUNTY ENFORCES ORDER .Iw Steamboats Are Kept Waiting Mornings and Evenings to Ac commodate Bridge Traffic Charges May Go to Jury. Every time that a vessel Is delayed at either the Morrison or Rurnslde- treet bridges, whether morning or evening, will constitute a separate ofTense against the Government, says Major James F. Mclndoe. the Federal enalneer In charge of the locai harbor. Not until he receives official advice from Washington establishing morn ing periods during which the draws may remain closed will the regulations adopted by the War Department in JfcS be changed. These new regula tions provide only for closed periods in the mornings and make no changes In the evening operation of the draws. They are expected to arrive by mall today and will at once be "published." That Is. copies of the regulations will be furnished the vesselmrn. the bridge tenders and all other parties Interested In the bridge traffic. In the meantime, tlj. county author ities continue their scfledule In effect. Vessels are being delayed at either , draw at every closed period. Each of these delays can be made the occa sion of a separate suit In the courts, according to the Federal official. Tow boat Makes Complaint. Three additional complaints were aent to the District Attorney's office yesterday. Two of these were filed by the owners of the Ottawa, who allege a delay of 30 minutes and an other of 1 minutes on Friday. August S. Owners of the Hara Dickson assert that this vessel, with a lograft In tow. was held up at the Bumslde-street bridge for 18 minutes last Saturday. Other boats have been delayed, but the owners evidently have not seen fit to make protest to the engineer's office. District Attorney John McCourt now has ten cases upon which Major Mc lndoe would like to have reports be fore he leaves for Fan Francisco next Wednesday. "1 have not beard a word from the District Attorney since I sent him the first protests." said the engineer yesterday. "I am eager at least to have the receipt of them officially acknowledged. If I don't hear from Mr. McCourt's office tomorrow I ahall communicate with him. as it Is neces sary for me to make a record of the disposition of the cases. "So far as this office is concerned, we are through with the 10 case that have passed from our hands Into the District Attorney's office. However, the tele gram from the War Department last Friday specifically Instructed me to en force the regulations now In effect as well aa those established last week, which will become law aa soon as pub lished. I don't expert that It will be neceeeary for this department to use other than peaceful methods to enforce the regulations." Reasonable Delay" Stickier. Major Mclndoe takes a decidedly op posite view from that of Commissioner Ooddard In his interpretation of the rule established by the War Depart ment In IX. The Commissioner ga-e It as his opinion tint those orders only Instructed the vesselmen aa to the kind of signals- they should give in approach ing the several bridges, and did not pre tend to state that the bridges should not remain closed at periods that might be fixed by the local authorities. The Federal Engineer states that the War Department presume that the draws shall be opened upon proper sig nals from any vessel unless regulation to the contrary are issued by the De partment. Tha orders of lo96, he de clares, said nothing with reference to closing tha draws. These regulations are now In effect and will remain in effect until the new one are made law. Major Mclndoe also attaches a differ ent meaning to the word "unreasonable." which seems t be the point upon which much of the controversy hinges. He says that the term applies to possible delay In clearing the bridges and opening the draws and not to the period during which a vessel may be delayed. It is ordinarily presumed, he explains, that the draw can be swung open within a few minutes after the signal Is given, al lowing the vessel to pass through with out waiting at the bridge or reducing its speed. If a vessel is detained at ail. he says. It is evidence In Itself that an un reasonable amount of time haa been con sumed In opening. County Authority Not Recognized. "Even the new regulations, which fix closed periods in the mornings," he con tinued, "do not make it Imperative that the draws shall not be opened during those periods. They only remove the penalty for a violation of the statute .during those specified times, but pro vide no penalty if tha bridge men open the draws. So it Is sot certain that the draws will remain closed even during the periods that have been announced by the War Department. "The recent action of the department rtas been merely a concession to the overhead traffic and was not a recogni tion of tha county authorities by any means. "The control of those bridges as well aa the O. R. X. bridge remains entirely in the - department's hands. Whatever regulations either the county or the rail road authorities care to establish will be satisfactory to us so long as they do not conflict with the" Federal regulations." District Attorney McCourt announced yesterday that he would give the cases fled by Major Mclndoe due attention, but said that on account of the press of other business they would have to await their turn. He will likely bring all of them before the grand Jury, he say a Whether prosecutions will follow depends upon the Judgment of the Jury. Commissioner Goddard stated last night that he had not changed his attitude In fie matter, and that the evening schedule .as well as the morning schedule will re- effect- Before doing anything sill confer with Judge Cleeton.

STRIKE SITUATION BETTER Chief of Police Tells Mayor Many of Specials Are "ot Needed. Chief of Police Cox and Captain Baty. commanding the day relief, called upon Mayor Simon yesterday morning and talked over the situation with regard to the teamsters' strike. Both officers said that tha strike is calmer than for a long time and that some merchants have announced tnat mey ao noi neeu special policemen to guard their ve hicles. Mavor Simon Is pleased with the re port given by the police officials, for the burden of paying a targe torco di special officers la great. It cost $10, 000 last month, and members of the Citv Council were beginning to fear that the general fund would go bank rupt. There has been a good deal of difference of opinion, anyway, aa to the value of the special policemen. Chief Cox and Captain Baty were given orders by the Mayor to employ as many extra officera aa in their judgment was necessary to keep the peace. There is a regular force of 2W po licemen, which is thought by many to be sufficient to handle a small strike like that of the teamsters. If the men are properly placed. Chief Cox. how ever, has had as many as 100 "specials' at work during the trouble, many of whom have not only furnished protec tion to strikebreakers, but have also assisted strikebreakers In loading and unloadina- wagons. This has greatly angered the strikers, who have repeat edly protested to the mayor. CONE-DEALERS IN TROUBLE They Appeal in Vuln for Permission to Unload Their Stocks. State Dairy and Food Commissioner J. W. Bailey was besieged yesterday by Ice cream cone dealers, who requested that they be permitted to dispose of tha stock of colored cones they now have on hand. But Mr. Bailey told them that his order must be respected. Hence, several million ice cream cones colored with coal tar dyes in Portland today must be "either confiscated or shipped to some other state where their sale is not prohibited. The large dealers say that the de mand for colored cones has become so great this Summer that it would be al most impossible to secure a supply of plain, ordinary brown cones at once. The bulk of the cones used in Portland are shipped from Seattle. One local concern turns out about dally. This company haa compiled with Mr. Bailey's orders and started yesterday to manufacture tne kind that axe calculated to stand the test of the pure food law. Dysentery Is a dangerous disease but ran ha cured. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has been successfully used In nine epiaem ics of dysentery. ' It has never been known to fall.

POLICE IGNORANT OF LAW Question of What Constitutes Meal Bothers Chief Cox and His Co horts War on So-Called Res taurants On In Earnest. Mayor Simon says he favors the elimi nation of so-called grills, of which the city has a large number, where liquors are served Indiscriminately to men and women with alleged meals, but the police department Is not working in harmony with this policy, judging from the evi dence adduced at a long session of the liquor license committee of the Council yesterday afternoon. Chief Cox and Captain Bailey say they cannot understand the law. but City At torney Grant and Councilman Cellars declare It to be "as plain ns the Eng lish language can make It." The investigation was the result of the conduct of a so-called grill operated by O. L. Hull at 233 Main street. In the absence of the proprieetor July 29, Po licemen Humphrey and Montgomery, on special plainclothes duty, and after their attention was called to the place Dy Chief Cox himself, arrested the bartender and seven women, the charge being dis orderly conduct and violation of the or dinance under which the place was sup posed to be run. They were all con victed in the Municipal Court by Judge Bennett. License May Be Revoked. After hearing the evidence of the two officers, the committee unanimously rec ommended that the grill license be re voked and this action will go before the Council tomorrow morning for final ap proval or disapproval. However, it was not so much the con duct of the place, which waa shown to be notorious, that created the deepest Interest at the hearing. Instead, it was the construction placed upon the simple grill ordinance by the police. Notwitn standing the fact that this law haa been In force for more than a year, during which time Chief Cost has held office, he confessed to the committee that he did not understand its provisions and asked Citv Attorney Grant what he would con sider is the "least possible meal permis- aable under the ordinance. "I would consider a meal what any man or woman of ordinary experience would call a meal." replied Mr. Grant. "I should say bread, butter, meat and coffee or tea something like that. But a sandwich or crackers or cheese is not a meal because the ordinance plainly Bays they are not. I fail to see where there can be any misunderstanding as to this ordinance; It is as plain aa the English language can make It, that un der a grill license alone drinks cannot be sold to patrons without there la served with each drink a full meal." Patrolmen Montgomery and Humphrey, who have charge of the conduct of grills especially, were as Ignorant of the pro visions of the ordinance as a schoolboy. Both were unable to tell the committee what It provides for or what it prohibits, and Humphrey said that "Captain Bai ley has never told us to arrest any one serving drinks with sandwiches." Captain Bailey has charge of the first night relief, which is supposed to have most to do with enforcing the laws In this regard. According to the arresting officers, he does not know the law. At least, be did not Instruct his officers to arrest any one selling drinks under a grill license with only sandwiches as "a meal," according to Policeman Hum phrey. Montgomery Knew of "Ketch.' Policeman Montgomery, who has been doing special sleuth duty around Port land grills for a year, said he had al ways understood that "there Is a "ketch' In .the ordinance," and that drinks can be served with sandwiches or cheese and crackers. Since the Cellars ordinance, barring women from saloons, went Into effect, mushroom "grills" have started up all over the - city until there are a large number of them in operation now. That these places dispense drinks by the score without as much as the pretense of serv ing even a sandwich, is common knowl edge, says Councilman Cellars, who has often charged that the police force is not enforcing the law at all. When Mayor Simon's attention was called to the facts regarding the hearing, he said: "I would like very much to see these grills eliminated, and if I were the Chief of Police I would construe the law lib erally in favor of a large meal with drinks and enforce the law that way." Policeman Montgomery told the mem bers of the committee that the sand wiches on the tables In Hull's place "are like bouquets; they set. there hour after hour; yon can eat them, if your teeth are equal to the task, but we saw on the night of the arrests there 65 drinks sold without aa much aa a pretense at serving even a sandwich or crackers and cheese." Hull, who was present with an attor ney, said that he was absent on his ranch at the time of the violation in question, and begged to be excused on the plea that when here he had always run the place "right." The officers, however, did not bear out his statement. Councilman Cellars was the man who had Hull summoned before the committee; the police did not mention it to the com mittee. PERSONALMENTION. J.

The route taken by President Lovett and various officials of the Harriman lines through Central Oregon is causing considerable discussion among railroad men. Yesterday morning the automobile party passed through Lakeview. which is considerably to the south of the pro posed east and west Harriman line. With the exception that the starting point was Vale in place of Condon, an exactly similar route is now being fol lowed to that taken by J. P. O'Brien, general manager, and R. B. Miller, traffic manager, in their trip through Central Oregon last June, More than ever It is becoming apparent that this former trip was to "spy out the land." and when the comments of Mr. O'Brien are recalled there is a strong inclination among railroad men to believe the present trip means business and im mediate business. "True, it's a bad time of year to start work." said a prominent official yester day, "but Judge Lovett is very different from Mr. Harriman. He rarely talks about what he is going to do. The Har riman publicity policy finds no advocate in Judge Lovett, so if actual work on any new Central Oregon line Is projected, it may be started almost before the world knows it is Intended. In all probability Mr. O'Brien conducted the party as far as Klamath Falls last night, a similar run being made on the first trfp. From Klamath Falls north. It Is probable that a serious inspection of the country will be made, for on his re turn from his preceding trip, Mr. O'Brien said that the purpose of his trip was to make a careful inspection of the country between Redmond and Bend and beyond, and to form his own ideas for any extension of the Deschutes Railroad south of Bend. He would give no clew to his recom mendations, but inasmuch as they have been sufficient to draw Judge Lovett and a large attendant force of engineers to the country, they may be taken as more than commendatory. The presence of the half-dozen engineers and consulting en glneers is, in itself, significant. TransDortation is bound to come to that country," said Mr. O'Brien at that time. "I confess I don't know when it may be this year, it may be next but it certainly is coming." From indications It' would appear as if Mr. O'Brien spoke with a prophetic vision. Following a straight southerly exten sion of the Deschutes Railroad tq Klamath Falls, It may be assumed that a connection will be thrown to Lake view, in the heart of a very rich and prosperous country.. If the Lakeview connection Is not built, this traae win Inevitably fall into the hands of the Western Pacific owners of the Nevada, California & Oregon, now building to wards Alturas. and which will shortly be connected to Lakeview. It la also considered probable that the purpose of the trip may be to deter mine a possible route towards Lakeview from Vale, the Malheur Canyon line. But speculation is bound to be Indefinite, for there is such a tremendous area ot ncn and undeveloped country that awaits the coming of the railroad, such as the Goose Lake and Harney valleys, both of tre mendous fertility, that the only possible trouble to the Harriman president will be to decide what is to have first choice. Alkali Lake will be visited on the trip 'north, which will probably start tomor row. In all probability, the Easterners will be shown the work on the Deschutes Railroad: then, following the wagon road, they will travel via Prineville, Antelope, Grizzly and Antelope to Shaniko, and will probably continue to Portland. Beach Excursions on This Month. Special excursions will be run from Eastern Oregon August 23 and Western Idaho, August 24, to North Beach, un der the auspices of the Harriman rail roads and under the particular guidance of "Jack" O'Neill, traveling passenger agent of the O. R. & N. These excur sions will consist of about 200 persons. Each party will travel In a special train to Portland under reduced rates. From this 'point they may travel either by Hassalo or Potter to the beach resorts, returning at their leisure Railroad: Men Convene. A special meeting of the American Railroad Employes & Investors' Associa tion was held last night in Woodmen Hall, Eleventh street Following the discussion of business matters, addresses were delivered by F. W. Robinson, gen eral freight agent; M. J. Luckley. gen eral superintendent: A. C. Spencer, at torney, all of tha Harriman lines. The subjects dealt with included the relation of the public to the railroads and the education of public opinion. Beach Business Points to Record. "Terrific beach business," panted E. R. Budd. general manager of the Ilwaeo Railroad yesterday, as he managed to tear away for a day from his narrow gauge beach line. "We are Just handl ing a record number of people. Best season the beach has ever seen." W. R. Skey, traveling passenger agent of the O. R. & N. at Spokane, was a Portland visitor yesterday. Boise Colony Likes Newport.

BOYCOTT IS IMPOSSIBLE Need of American Goods Too Great for Ban Chinese Developing but Slowly Cigarettes Sub stituted for Opium. China cannot effect a harmful boycott against the United States. There is little probability of a "yellow peril China is becoming cigarette-smoking nation. These are three important bits of news W. H. Wickham. who has spent the last 22 years in Hongkong, told at the Port land Hotel yesterday. Mr. Wickham has now retired from business in the Far East and is touring the TJnlted States on his way to London, where he will ma Ire hi a future bORUS. "The United States need not be ap prehensive over the . boycott declared against American manufactured goods and products because of a little diffi culty the Chinese have at the immigra tion station at Angle Island In San Frarl clsco," said Mr. Wickham. 'The prin cipal products the Chinese get from the United States ore flour and kerosene. They cannot place a boycott on flour because they cannot get It in any other country. The same is true regarding kerosene. They might be obtained in other countries, but they are of such in ferior quality or in such email quantity that the American market could not be discriminated against The Chinese must have flour and the United States is the best place to get it. "China is awakening, but will never make such rapid strides as Japan. There are over 400.000.000 people in China, and, naturally, the progressive movement will be slow. It will be conservative movement, not attended by the aggres sivness of the Japanese, so there is lit tle danger of it becoming a world power that will mean a "yellow peril.' Of course, if they should take oa the ag gressiveness of Japan, there is no telling what might happen. "One feature about China that Is not generally known Is that it is becoming a cigarette-smoking nation. The govern ment Is putting a ban on smoking opium and cigarettes are being substituted.

' v Oregon sheep are considered to be gen erally in a most healthful condition, ac cording to Dr. W. H. Lytle. Deputy State Stock Inspector for Eastern Oreh gon, who is now in the city. "The greatest trouble we have had with sheep in Oregon has been in regard to the 'scabies,' a disease that was prev alent In nearly aU the flocks four years ago," said Dr. Lytle. "At first it was very difficult to get the sheepmen to see our way in the proper care of the sheep and they disliked the new methods we introduced. However, they soon dis covered that two healthy sheep were much better than 20 sick ones. "In order to eradicate the 'scabies,' it was necessary that every sheepraiser should dip all his sheep- thoroughly once and sometimes twice a year. This work required considerable time and extra ex pense of the sheepmen. Frequently we had to compel some flocks to be re dlpped as stockmen would fall to do the work properly. a nntVi.F matter that we had to watch closely was the shipping of sheep out of the Btate.

The plan Is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast: use a goodly allowance of fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then follow with a saucer containing about four heaping teaspoonfuls "of Grape Nuts, treated with a little rich cream. Add to this about two slices of crisp toast with a meager amount of butter, and one cup of well-made Postum. Bv this selection of food the bodily energy is preserved, while the hot, car bonaceous foods have been left out. The result is -a very marked difference In the temperature of the body, and to this comfortable condition is added the certainty of easy and perfect digestion, for the food being partially pre-di-gested is quickly assimilated by the digestive machinery. Experience and experiment in food, and its application to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to the comfort of the users. Read the little book.
