9 TTTE MOKNTyfi OTTrGQyTAy. WEDXTSPATV ATRTTj 24. 1012. . ; BRIDGE SURVEYS START AT ONCE Modjeski to Submit Complete Report and Estimate With jn Thirty Days. INSPECTION TOUR TODAY Campaign for Interstate Appropria tion of $3,000,000 to De Waicrfl. Aid From National Congrr-s to Ite- Invoked. Mretlns with the Joint wmmitlM from Portland and Vancouver, of which Krank R Riley l chairman, at the 'ommerrlal Club yesterday. Ralph M-xljrskl. who haa been selected aa en gineer to have charge of the prelimin ary iiurvry for the proposed Columbia River brUlse. arranged for a trip to Vancouver tlii morning with the com inlitee to examine the landing wh-re I he proponed structure Is to be built. Mr. Morljenkl brought to the committee mcetina- preliminary map and designs for the bridge, based upon the Informa tion he had sained aa to the peculiari ty of building requirement at that point on the Columbia Itiver. by hi ex perience on the steel railroad bridge a fhort distance down stream from the j.'rc where the new bridge I to be U'rown across. Mr. Modjeskl said that he will have liix preliminary aurvey completed and within 30 days will be prepared to sub mlt a complete report with estimates ( routs, for use In the campaign that will be carried on In the legislative li.-iirs of both Oregon and Washington to secure a $1,000,000 appropriation to build this bridge which ia to be the niont Important link In the bis system cf the I'aclrtc Highway. -An interstate bridge, such aa Is pro posed between Oregon and Washing ton at Vancouver." said Mr. Modieski. "will have a value as a development factor that will offset, within an In crediblv short time after Its comple tion, the 12.000.000 expense to which the two states will rq to build It. and 1 believe that the Legislatures of the two states will be amply Justified In appropriating the funds required for It. t cannot say whether the United States 'lovernment will be willing to appro priate, money to' helu defray the cost af construction, but I th.nK It will be -orth the while of the committee to lake the matter up with the proper minorities. Whether the Fed-ral Gov ernment rives financial assistance or not. I am certain that It will throw no i.letarles in our wy in the construc tion of the bridse. but will give all the aristance and encouragement that It an. The bridge across the Columbia at Van-ouver must be built at some time. At Vancouver is the logical place for a rreat interstate highway and in the ordinary course of development of the .ountry It will become Imperative wlinin a few years. Never again will It be possible to build it at so little t as would be necessary now. and for that reason. I think that the move ment on foot to have It constructed ax soon as possible Is an extremely wise ..n on the part of the commercial or conizations of Vancouver and Tort land." WOMEN'S WAGE BILL IS UP Consumers I-?ue Studies Measure. Board I rroio-cd. At the meeting yesterjay of the Con sumers' League sptcial committee appointed to pass upon the minimum wage bill for womei. and children, lratted hv the State Federation of La Ikt. the opinion seemed to prevail after a preliminary review of the measure that the provisions ot the law . ould more satisfactorily be adminis tered through minimum wage boards rather than through a fixed amount which would not be affected by stand ards of living, the cost of HMng and the location of the Industry. Several members of the committee expressed the belief that in lining the amount of 10 cents per hour, the Fed eration's committee had agreed upon a standard m-lthout giving- sufficient study to conditions warranting It Other members of the committee were of the belief that If the minimum wage for an Industry were made hlgner than that of a similar Industry in another state the result might be nesatlsfac lrr to the former. After prolonged discussion Father Ollsra. thalrman of the committee, ap pointed, a subcommittee romtosed of l.lmself, Ir. C. H. Chapman and Arthur K. Wood to confer wltli a member of I ie Federation of Labor's committee a: a meeting to be petd Monday night In Reed College. Members of the com mittee present at yesterday's meeting were: W. B. Aver.' Mrs M. IS. Trum bull. Mrs. Henry Russ.,11 Talbot. Miss Mabel Weldler. Arthur Evans Wood. Carl F. Caufield. Father O'Hara and Miss Lt'da Harriman.

Sheer brute strength avails little when mere man Is tossed from a stnk- Inc vessel Into the deep. When La Bour toyne. a French vessel, struck the Iron liner Cromartyshire, an English nip. off Cape Sable. July 4. 188. and 00 persons were drowned, lshmael Yousoff. the terrible Turk." tried to fight his wav lo safety to no avail. Of the 1S passengers who were vei there was only one vomm. Many told afterward of the brutal manner In which Vousoff fought with a t,,t seekln to force his way to a raft. The Turk was a aerltable giant feet Inches tall, weighing tbO pounds. Charles Labbe. one of the passengers saved, reported afterward that "a mo ment after the collision. I saw Tousoff at the side of the ship, fighting- like a beast for a place in the lifeboat. He had on no llfepreserver and no coat Finally I noticed that he got on a raft and It began to sink. Vousoff leaped. Intending to land on a lifeboat some feet away, and ml'ssed his footing, go ing Into the water. He swam for half and hour after that, going down, at last, apparently without any cause, for I noticed particularly that he was a good swimmer." Mr. Labbe said that he believed Tou soff sank from the weight of gold which he Is supposed to have carried In a belt around his body. "I heard It said." reported Labbe. "that he was loaded down with 20 or 4 pounds of gold, which he. was car rying back with him from his wrestling matches." Vousoff was an undefeated champion In America, having wrestled with eight or ten opponents. He was the chief wrestler to the Sultan. OFFICIALS VISIT CITY MILWACKF.K HEADS MOK OVER PORTLAND SITUATION'. President William Say Road Haa IWn Able to Do Nothln to Get Into Portland. Officials of the Milwaukee Railroad system passed yesterday morning In Fortland on a general Inspection of the situation, with the view, possibly, of determining at what time and In what manner the moot connection between Portland and the new main line to the North Pacific Coast Is to be built.

Paul system, and a number of Mr. Hartness friends mho have been touring with him In California. Mr. Hartness and his party arrlved in the private car St. Paul, and were met here by Mr. Williams, who came from Seattle. They visited the Portland office of the Milwaukee, which is the most pretentious on their entire system, and called on some of their business acquaintances in various parts of the city. Business In Portland as well as In other parts of the Milwaukee territory Is looking better this year than at any time since our line to the Coast was built." said Mr. Williams. "Maybe that Is true, because I believe we reached the bottom last year. It had to get better, and I am glad to see that It Is Improving. It Isn't booming exactly, right now, but It Is growing steadily and substantially. I look for prosper ous times ahead." Mr. Williams modified the recent an nouncement from Seattle that the Mil waukee is about to build a $."..t00.000 tunnel through the Cascades for the purpose of shortening the distance and eliminating curves and grades on the main line. "This tunnel was In our original plans." he said, "and we Intend to build it eventually, but It will- be many years before It Is completed.. We can't quite see our way clear to spend an additional $5,000,000 right on top of our original expenditure and In the face of a business situation that Is Just re covering from a slight depression." I.ast year the Milwaukee drove about 00 feet on the east end of the pro posed new tunnel, which will be ap proximately two miles In length. It Is the intention to use some of their reg ular workmen In driving another sec tion this year. The company is doing the work itself aeid has not let it out on contracts. As soon as the tunnel becomes a necessary part of the road contracts will be let and the work will be rushed to completion. "We haven't been able to do any thing that would help us In getting Into Portland. said Mr. Williams. "The situation hasn't changed a bit since I waa here a year ago. Not until we have something definite or official to sav on that subject will I be ready to talk about It at all." Mr. Williams. Mr. Hartness and the members of their party left yesterday afternoon for Seattle, from which point they will start an Inspection trip over the main line.

Second degree murder was the verdict brought In last night against Wong Si Sam. one of the two Chinese accused of the murder of Seld Wah Blng. whose dismembered body was shipped In a trunk from Portland to Seattle and discovered three weeks after the crime. The Jury, which had been hearing evidence In the case for the past week, retired about a o'clock yesterday after noon and the verdict waa returned at :10 o'clock. The state's case depended almost en tirely on the story of the killing told by 6i Sen. the Chinese woman of the underworld In whose room the murder occurred. She testified that Wong SI Sam and Lew Soon, the man yet to be tried, waylaid Seld Wah BJng in her room after midnight on. December 1J and killed him with a hatchet, a Chin ese vegetable knife and a razor. The weapons produced in court were Identi fied by her and other witnesses testi fied that they had been found In the room of Wong 81 Sam and that he ac knowledged their ownership. She shipped the body to Seattle and left Portland on their Instructions, she said. Portions of the story of Ol Sen were corroborated. Members of the crew of the Bailey Gatzert testified that Wong SI Sam, who was second cook on the river steamer, took her with him to The Dalles a few days after the com mission of the crime, aa she had said when on the stand. Other parts of her testimony as to events before and after the murder were substantiated by the statements of other witnesses. The defense called members of the crew of the Bailey Gatzert. who swore that Wong SI Sam was seldom absent from the boat. He had a permanent room on It. they said. Their testimony tended to throw doubt on the truth of the state's contention that the defend ant was away from the steamer on the night of the crime. Attorney Fulton also strove to pick flaws in Ol Sen's testimony on direct examination and put witnesses on the stand o contra dict statements made by her on cross examination. The Jjiry asked yesterday morning that the attorneys confine themselves to 10 minutes each In their remarks. Judge McGinn called atttentlon to the fact that the law requires that they be allowed two hours each for argu ment and a compromise was reached on one hour each. The Jurors evident ly believed that they had intelligently grasped the trend and purport of the testimony and that nothing the attor neys could say would be of assistance to them.. DR.
