o TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1911. AO . GRAIN SHIP DELAYED r Captain of British Bark Vexed by Placing of Cargo. ARBITRATION IS AGREED TO Wheat Is Stowed on Lower Floor of Dock Instead or Top and Steve dore Befnso to Act TntU . . Shipment Is Mored. WbHt delivered on the lower floor af the North Bank dock. Instead or be Insr on the unoer floor, so that it could be sen t down chute to the Tesel' hold, was termed by Captain Ajexan der. of the British bark Inrercoe. a violation of an aareement slsmea lues- day In which it was stipulated that the bark was to proceed to load without prejudice on the outcome or me con trorersy as to whether 10 cents or It cents a ton waa to be paid for the work The stevedores refused tohan- . die the wheat and the ship lust all of yesterday mornlns;. Captain Alexander referred the al leged breach to his counsel. W. C. Bris tol, who In turn called the attention of A. Bene, charterer of the Invercoe, to the terms of the agreement, and as a consequence the wheat was deliv ered on the upper dock in the after noon and Inadlns; waa resumed. Had the dispute not been settled it sraa said that suit would have been filed today as a means of settling; the difficulty, rather than arbitration, which Is to be taken up at Mr. Bris tol's office this mornlns. It was rumored yesterday that a set tlement had been practically reached, but Mr. Bristol said that he had no knowledge of It. It is possible for either side to refuse to proceed with the arbitration, but In that event lea-al proceedings would ensue and prolong an adjustment. ST. IIELKXS ORDERS BOOM Supple Finishing Sited In Which to Build Tag Mendcll. Joseph Supple has accepted a rush order for a 0-foot boom for the eteeuner St Helens, which arrived in the harbor Tuesday night with a heavy shipment of iron that originated on the Atlantic side. It was found that the cargo boom required renewing. At the Supple yards the shed built. : under which the Government tug Men-" dell will be housed until ready for launching, is about completed and as material is assembled for the vessel - a start will be made on the hull next week. Mr. Supple said yesterday that he did not think the steamer Westerner would be held on the Oregon drydock longer than tomorrow and that the steamer Washington, which is at the yards, will be ready to shift by that time also to begin loading cargo. The larger yards are turning out considerable work this season and the owners do not feel there will be a depression In their line in tha Winter. BCFFOX IS FROM HAVRE Port Ust Include IS Vessels Under Charter for Grain. The run from Hobart to the Colum bia River was made by the French bark Buffon in days. The vessel sailed October and arrived here yes terday morning. She comes from Havre, which port he left June !. As customary with French carriers from Kuropean porta, the Buffon cauea at - Hobart. Her arrival brought tha fleet ' of grain ships in the river to IS. most of them coming In ballast like the Buffon. The Thiers. Jules Gommes and CoL de Vlllebole Mareuil were cargo ahlps. but as compared with a few years ago there is decided dlmlnlshment of the fleet that formerly brought Kuropean products and loaded back with grain. One reason assigned for the new con .ditlon Is that regular lines are In op eration around the Horn, and even though the steamers do not all coma direct to Portland, cargo la transhipped at San Francisco, while the American Hawaiian and California. Atlantlo fleets handle consignments that come from New Tork In bond. CORVALLIS FLOCtt FOR SHIP Beep Water Men Buy From Interior Plant to Restock Larder. Steamers of the Tellow Stack Line have brought from Corvallia 200 sacks of flour for the British bark Croco dile, which will be Included In ber list of stores for the voyage. It is the second lot of the wheat product to come from the present head of n evira tion on the Willamette for utilization as food In the forecastle of grain ves sels bound for Europe, and the reason given for Inland purchases Is that lower quotations have been made than are obtained here. Ship chandlery firms complain that this season's business is far below the average, because so many vessels have arrived with heavy supplies remaining from the stocks placed aboard on sail ing from Europe and they purchase here only fresh edibles and light stocks to replace those exhausted. A few vessels here in the last year were out fitted largely with goods purchased at San Francisco and sent north on steamers, but that waa because stock holders of the carriers resided In the South and thought they could buy to better advantage there. ' ' ' OLD BALLAST IX THE KEl'CE Sblp to Load Gravel and Complete Repairs at Linnton. Dirt ballast that bas been In the hold of the ship Reuce for so many -years that no person connected with her here remembers the time it waa loaded, is being discharged at the Linn ton bunkers so that planking on which it rested., next to the "skin" of the vessel, can be removed, the hold scraped and gravel substituted for ballast. About 150 tons of material Is re quired In the Reuce for that purpose, but the dirt was In place such a lengthy period that It was packed solidly. Her masts have been replaced and as soon as possible her topbamper will go up. After the ballast Is discharged the In terior of her hold will be examined to detect any soft planking and that will be repaired, while when the gravel, or -shingle" ballast Is in place, the caulk ing of her deck will be resumed and the vessel made ready for the 1J1I salmon season In Alaska. nARTIXGTOV LOADS LIMBER Balfour, Guthrie A Co.

C she Is credited with male lng slow passages, as she waa 217 days making the run from Antwerp to Puget Sound In 1007 and on her next voyage, when she came to Portland, she was 318 days on the way because she was towed Into Stabler. F. I., badly damaged after having been out 89 days ti m Antwerp. Reinsurance Is being quoted on her at the rate of 20 per cent. At the Merchants Exchange a report was received yeeterday that the achooner Irene, Captain Mitchell, had gone ashore at Ballast Point, at the entrance to San Diego harbor. The vessel left the Columbia River Novem ber 20 with about S00.000 feet of lum ber loaded at St. Helena. She Is owned by the Charles L McCormlck Lumber Company. Captain Mitchell Is well known on the Coast as a nervy skip per and it Is reported that on the voy age be was accompanied by members of his family. One entry waa made at the Custom house yesterday, the French bark Col de Vlllebols MaxeulL which arrived from Shields, after having an eventful trip that began as a hawser parted when she was being towed by a tug In the North Channel the second day after she sailed, and despite a raging storm, reached the open sea with the aid of her canvas. She waa 10 days rounding the Horn and In a blow much of the time. On the night of September 13 she came near being run down by another square-rigger, but both put their helms hard over and escaped with only nominal dam ages While entering the Columbia In tow of tugs four seas broke over her stern, but did no harm.

LAW HELD ILLEGAL Boise Mayor Fights Comriis sion Form of Government. STATE STATUTE ASSAILED When Voters Ask Election on Xew Scheme City Executive Refuses t and Cose Is Carried to Su preme Court of Idaho. BOISE, Idaho, Dec 7. (Special.) The fate of the law on the commission form of government, passed by the las Legislature, now rests with the bu preme Court. The law has been sub mined, to that tribunal to test Its con stltutlonality In the case entitled Harry Kessler vs. Harry K. Frltcbjnan, Mayor of Boise, In which the right to sub mit the commission form of govern mint for adoption or rejection by the electors of Boise is Involved. The commission law was attacked by Mayor Frltchman on the ground that It Is unconstitutional, in that it Is not complete enough to be operative, that It permits and is class legislation, ana that under Its meaning and Intent the Issue of adopting the commission gov ernment form can only be submitted at a general election In November. It was also asserted by tne Mayor mat as Boise has a special charter It does not come within the Jurisdiction of the commission law. The commission advocates argued that the term "general" In the law ap plying to elections means a general election In the sense that the people generally vote It, and not the technical legal construction that It applies only to general elections held biennially. The commlsslonlsts also asserted that the commission law Is applicable to cities with a general charter because it is a general law, and that if a ma jority of the legal electors so decide they have a right to adopt a commis sion form of government. The antl-commlsslonlsts declared that the law. If placed in operation, would within two years raise legal questions that might force the city that adopted It into endless litigation, nullifying its contracts, its franchises and preventing t.ie payment of its debts as well as blocking its revenue. Since the passage of the commission law an effort has been made In this city to' make it operative here and abolish Boise s present special charter. The law required the filing with the Mayor of petitions containing the slg natures of 25 per cent of the legally qualified electors who voted at the last city election. These signatures and many more were secured, and the petl tlons were filed with Mayor Frltch man last Summer. Taking the stand there was a possi bility that the law was unconstitu tional. Mayor Frltchman refused to la sue the call for the special election. The commission advocates persisted in their fight and carried the case into court of mandamus from the Supreme Court to compel the Mayor to call the election or show cause why he should not. The writ was served and promt nent legal counsel was employed by the Mayor to fight the case. A de murrer to the writ was filed and argu ment before the Supreme Court set for Monday, December 4. COURT TO PICK WIDOW TWO WOSfEX ASSERT THEVRE RELICTS OF CHAUFFEUR, Insurance Company Pleads That Rightful Litigant May Obtain $1974 Insurance Policy. At a loss to decide which of two women, each of whom represents her self as having been the only true and lawful wife of Harry A.

N. J., has asked the Circuit Couu to end the controversy. The company. In an interpleader filed yes terday, requests that the two women be cited to appear and that the court designate one as the legal Mrs. Cum mlngs. An Injunction Is also asked re straining the commencement of liti gation by either of the women against the company while the present suit pends. The defendants in the action are Evelyn M. Cummlngs. Sophia J. Cum mlngs, administratrix of the estate of Harry A. Cummlngs, and M. O. Wllklns, attorney for the administratrix, who has filed with the company an attor ney's lien In which It Is set forth that he must be paid at least 1250 and not In excess of 1500 as compensation for services in behalf of Mrs. Sophia J. Cummlngs. The complaint alleges that Mrs. Eve yn M. Cummlngs, who was living in Portland with Harry A. Cummlngs as hla wife, August 2S made application for the payment of the money to her. Thereafter Mrs. Sophia J. Cummlngs came to Portland from California and announced herself aa the legal widow of Cummlngs and denounced the other woman as an impostor. She employed M. O. Wllklns as attorney and had her. self appointed administratrix. She notified the company September 8 that she was entitled to the proceeds of the policy, which waa made payable to Evelyn Cummlngs. wife." She Insists that she. being the real wife. Is en titled to the money although her name is not Evelyn. REQUEST OF UNIONS DENIED City Cannot Make Steel Finn Con duct "Closed Shop," Says Mayor. Despite the fact that Mayor Rush light has Informed the labor unions that the city cannot require the Penn sylvania Steel Company to employ union men exclusively on the Broadway bridge superstructure the unions are going to press their demands. The Executive Board yesterday received communications from eight unions ask ing that the Board take some action to enforce the "closed shop" on the con tract. The communications were from the hod carriers, riggers and liners, electrical workers, cement workers, pile drivers, carpenters and Joiners, Iron workers and the Socialist, party. The communications ask that the contract between the city and the Penn sylvania company be so arranged that the labor will be selected from unions and the company be restricted from Im porting non-union men to do the work.

BOND DECISION IS ASKED Questrim of Validity of Street Im provement Paper Termed Loss. A petition presented yesterday to the street committee of the Executive Board by Davis Sc Struve Bond Com pany, of Seattle, requests that the city do something at once toward set tling the question of the validity or Portland's street Improvement bonds. The petition says that the city should take the question up at once with the Oregon Supreme Court to have a deci sion upon which the purchasers of bonds could depend. You would be surprised to know how often Eastern people who are prospective purchasers of Portland street Improvement bonds have ex pressed surprise that the city does not obtain a direct decision In order to settle this question." says the peti tion. "The city really owes a duty to those handling your bonds to get such a definite settlement of the question." The petition was referred to the City Attorney. Water System Delayed. CENTRALLY. Wash.. Dee. 7. (Spe cial.) The ordinance calling for a bond election to vote bonds tor tne in stallation of a municipal gravity water system in Centralis, was killed by the City Council last night. Nothing fur ther can now be done until the com mission form of government goes Into effect January 11. As all the candi dates seeking office under the com mission have signified their support for the plant, there will probably be no opposition to the gravity system after the present council goes out of office. of This Great ENGINEERS DOE TODAY DOCK COMMISSION PREPARES TO RECEIVE MEX. During Two Weeks' Stay Board Will Gather Data Regarding Condi tions In Harbor. Beyond a telegram of general tenor received some days aco to the effect that the board of harbor engineers. appointed by the Commission of Public Docks to locate and formulate plans for Portland's public docks, would be in Portland December 8, nothing has been heard from the engineers. As, according to their telegram, they are due today, plans were laid for their reception at the regular meeting yes terday of the Commission In the Chamber of Commerce. With the exception of Ben Selling, all the Commissioners were present. Harbormaster Speler reported that he had arranged with personal friends for the loan of fast launches to be used for the water transportation of the en glneers. Members of the Commission will be responsible for, land transpor tation. ' The board of engineers are all New Tork men and expect td be here for two weeks. During that time they will consult with G. B. Hegardt. consulting engineer of the Commission, who has already prepared for them elaborate data regarding the strata of soil, depth of water, physical conditions of the land and such matter as will be vital in the inquiry they propose to conduct. The visiting board consists of Charles W. Staniford. E. P. Goodrich and W. J. Barney, one of whom was responsible for the organization of the famous Bush terminals of New York. Ten thousand dollars. It Is expected, will be expended during the visit of the board, whose remuneration is on a lavish scale. This sum has been guar anteed by F. W. Mulkey, chairman ot the Commission, and others. A bond issue of $50,000 was sold at the begin ning of October, but the proceeds have not yet been credited to the Commis sion. The fact that the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company has assailed the constitutionality of tho initiative has caused some delay with tlfe accept ance of the bonds In the present in stance and it is thought probable that until the Supreme Court hands down decision on the telephone company s suit against the State of Oregon, bond buyers will procrastinate with regard to having their attorneys declare the bonds valid-. The Dock Commission bonds were authorized by vote of the people. During their visit nere tne sew xotk engineers are expected to be traveling or working the whole time. So far as la yet known, no actual entertainment has been prepared for them. Oatrander-TJpton. OREGON CITY. Or., Dec. 7. Miss Marietta Upton, of Portland, niece of Mrs. C. D.
