Yet another mrMing of the Commis sion of PuMI'1 Ioiks has been held without the public belnrc any the wiser a to where the much-talkcd-of sites r located.

That much Information was divulged eterday. Also the docks to be erect ed there, with the new flreboat sta tion on the Kast Side at the present upper ferrv landing, coal bunkers and the recreation pier, either at the foot of Stark or Washington streets, will require all funds that can be placed at the disposal of the Commission through the sale of bonds authorized.

That means there will he two docks built for the reception and distribu tion of merchandise and such cargo as can be handled ovr m municipal wharf, and later bond Issues will have to be provided If the city Intends providing more than one dock on each side of the harbor for general use. Commissioner Muikey said yesterday that as soon as the abstracts had been prepared of the sites a tender would be made the own ers as required and that it was the aim to puih all work as rapidly as con ditions would permit. In connection with the matter of se curing property he said that he had conferred with City Attorney Grant a, t. necessity of a special deputy City Attorney to devote his time to the Commission of Public Docks, and that Mr. Orant had told him there was no ne. for another deputy to handle con demnation suits, as his office could take care, of such details without being burdened and that If the courts would ep-dlte the trial of such cases there would be no lengthy delay In acquir ing title. Ileadaaarters Are Promised. Chairman Muikey reported that In line with authority delegated to him si a previous meeting he had met with Ms? or Rushlight and gone over the needs of the Commission as regards htctiquarters and Mayor Rushlight said he would endeavor to secure space for tue office force at the City Hall- and that the Commission could meet In one of the committee-rooms until larger quarters are vacated by county offi cials temporarily housed there. Mayor Rushlight was eitended the courtesy of Inspecting records of the Commis sion at any time and will be furnished with a complete report soon. The Commission arranged yesterday to have an accountant open a set of boks and the same system is to be fol lowed as In handling books of the city. As soon as that is done a secretary probably will be appointed. NAVY ENLISTMENTS SHOWN Northwot Men Taken On in Vari ous Branches of Service. For the month ending yesterday Lieu tenant Toaz.

Captain Sara, of the steamer Hercu les, which operates from Flsher'a Land. Ing to Oak Point, towing barges of rock for the Jetty work at the mouth of the Columbia, and whose day of rest Is Mon day, because of the weekly "lay over." says more than 1000 tons of rock Is dumped along the Jetty dally. The Her cules tows three bargea carrying 3U0 tons each day and in addition the Mcamcr Kern delivers two bargea three tunes a week at Fort Stevens, each holding 00 tons of rock. The tug Samson operates from the transfer point, which Is usually Oak Point and sometimes Eureka, to Fort Stevens, towing laden bargea to Fort Stevens and returning with those dis charged. Because suitable rock has not been found on the lower river it la be lieved that when the construction of the north Jetty Is started material will have to be drawn from the same source and the system of river towing will be continued for several years longer, as there wlrt be rock delivered for the south Jetty most of next season. BOATS TR ALL ORDERED Cubical Capacity System on Boat-ago DlM-ardrd on Ocean Vessels. Before the liner Carpathla was in sight of New York with her load of refugees from the Ill-fated Titanic. Portland mariners were speculating on whetner It would be three weeks or a month before new Government regula tions concerning safeguards for pas- nsers would be receive a ml yester day the first a me ruled r-sle was re -celled. A meeting of the executive committee of the board of supervising inspectors, of the steamboat Inspection service, was held at Washington. P.

Dl-QUESNE LIBEL IS LIFTED Ship Will Reumc Work Today With Truckage Charge Vnscttlcd. On filing of a bond in the sum of I'.ooo the French ship Duquesne was released yesterday from a libel in stated by Balfour. Guthrie ft Company to collect 70.;. representing truck age charges In connection with load ing 5l tons of wheat aboard the ves sel at Oceanic dock. The ship Is to re sume loading today and It Is said she will finish tomorrow. Like others, the skipper of the Du qurrne refused to pay the rate of 30 cents i ton for loading wheat, alleg ing that Is cents was the proper figure. The exporters Insisted on the additional 1 ; cents being paWl to offset the truck aco charges and the filing of a libel caused the loading to be stopped. In similar coses the vessels have been permitted to load and the work was paid for at the rate of IS cents a ton, the stevedore suing to collect the bal ance and with the filing of a bond the vessels were relessed and the cases set for trial In the Federal Court. Jetty Being Extended WESTPORT. Or, May . (Special.) The north Jetty, running west from Damon's Point at the mouth of Grays Harbor. Is being extended at the rale of SO carloaQs of Tenlno sandstone per day. It Is expected the work will be completed by the close of the season. The beneficial results already attained In deepening the channel across the Westport bar encourage the Govern ment engineers In the hope that Con gress, upon the completion of the work on the north side will authorize the raising and extension of the south side Jetty at Westport. This would confine the outgoing flood to a narrow channel for a good distance seaward and In sure a substantial deepening of the bar. which, even at present. Is accom modating with safety all shipping that has occasion to put Into Grays Harbor. it CAUSE RAPPED Chapman Out of Sympathy With White Ribboners.

Women's Christian Temperance I'nion Convention Is Iraln on BuMnc-s of CltyCiiresy Smith rtcvlvai Disappoints Pastors. "I am not at all in sympathy with the objects of the Women's Christian Temperance Union." This was the verbal bomb which C. C. Chapman, manager of the publicity department of the Commercial Club, threw among the ministers at the Portland General Ministerial Association meeting in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium yesterday. Mr. Chapman was asked by Mrs. Ada Wal lace I'nruh. president of the Women's Christian Temperance Cnlon. to speak on behalf of the National convention, which is to be held In Portland, Oc tober 19 to IS. "Tho fact that this is to be a Wo men's Christian Temperance Union convention, and that several other con ventions are coming." continued Mr. Chapman, "has caused a sort ot apatny among the business men. They feel thev have been 'bled for as mucn as they can afford. But if Portland needs disinfecting and perfuming from your DAint of view, it Is up to you to get In and do what you can to herp out the Women's Christian Temperance Union convention. Personally I will not worry about It, for I could get along with out a drink for the rest of my life. We have the best water on earth, and I could go on a water spree any time. "While I am out of sympathy with the objects of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. I am In sympathy with the feeling that Portland should rise to the occasion and fittingly re ceive the organization at its great Na tional convention, so the delegates will carry abroad a pleasant -word about Portland's hospitality. I want to see the professional men and prop erty owners arise to this occasion in a way that will do Portland credit. We had no trouble In raising 8S.42S.3 for the Klks' convention, but we are more or less up against a condition of apathy now because this Is a Women's Chris tian Tempersnce Union convention. I believe Portland will reap much benefit from the Elks' convention. The. prop erty owners haven't been reached in the canvass for subscriptions as have the merchants and bankers. They should be reached. The increment which comes to Portland goes ultimately to the pockets of the men who own the land. We want about IS000. The wo men of the Women's Christian Tem perance Union of the city Intend to spend about that much or more from their own pockets." Mrs. Unruh spoke briefly, urging all the ministers to speak a word In their pulpits In favor of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union. A resolution was passed urging the Board of Education and City School Superintendent to have May 17 ob served as Peace day in the public schools. Bible la Schools Favored. rr. W. B. Hinson. speaking on be- half of the committee appointed to create sentiment In favor of Bible reading In the public schools, said the sentiment In Portland is overwhelming ly In favor of this, and that portions of the Bible will be read In Portland public schools In time without doubt. Dr. Hinson delivered an address on "The Spiritual Equipment of the Preacher." He deplored that while the machinery of young people's societies has increased they have not grown in spiritual force. Alluding to the Gipsy Smith meetings, he said: 'We had a great object lesson in Portland a few months ago. I don t believe I ever saw such elaborate prep aration for evangelistic effort as 1 saw then. Personally I had a conviction that the windows of heaven would be opened, and that the outpouring of the divine blessing was to be received bv this city. But such was not the case. "We had the machinery. The wheels all turned, but somehow the power didn't crystallise Into results in the lives of the Christian people or In the lives of those who were not Christian. I learned a great lesson from that. How would It do for us. as preachers, to wait upon the Lord? Strenuosity Is our characteristic We know how to labor. But If we would learn the lesson of waiting there would be a revelation In our experience. It takea courage to tell the truth in the pulpit when, if we do. wc know there Is some man or woman In the audience who will say things." Albert Ehrgott urged tho co-operation of the ministers In behalf of the Rose Musical Festival, to be held Fri day. Baturday and Sunday before the Rose Festival.

For accepting and kseplns; registered letters and checks comlnar throusrh the mall addressed In his name, though not Intended for him. Georse Albert, a striking; machinist, was sentenced to 30 days' Imprisonment in Municipal Court yesterday, on the complaint of another George Al.bert, who is out I4S on account of the mistake. Albert No. 1 refused to correct the error, but stubbornly held to the view that peo ple had no business sending him money If thev didn't expect him to keep It. George Albert, complainant, an em ploye of Fisher. Thorsen & Co., is a stockholde-r In a lumber company in British Columbia and when the divi dends, to which he Is entitled, did not arrive he started Investigation. George Albert, defendant, out of a Job- and with a wife and six children to support, received notification from the Postotflce that there was a regis tered letter for him. It contained a check for 130. which Albert cashed. That was In February. In March an other check arrived, like the first, ex cept that It called for 1S. Albert again negotiated the paper.

This is equivalent to rtmovisc the loac-staadui; difficulty. Demanding that the Denio Fire Alarm Company pay to the city 3 per cent of its gross earnings and "a reasonable rent for the use of the City Hall," Councilman Maguire. of the Tenth ward, yesterday declared before the Industry committee of the Council that he "never aw such a rank attempt to get the city's facilities for nothing." He lost his fight, however, but will put in a minority report. The majority members of the com mittee could not see that it was worth much to the parties who are financing the fire alarm project to get an exclu sive right to use the lines of the Home Telephone & Telegraph Company and to charge 50 cents per month for each telephone using the alarm service. Count llmen Burgard and Wallace said they felt that an automatic fire alarm device, placed In thousands of homes, would give the city much better fire protection and that it would be a. dis tinct advantage to have such service. W. A. Hobb. Portland manager of the Western Union, spoke in opposition to the proposition, saying that his com pany Is Installing first-class service, and while willing to compete with high-grade concerns. Is "not able to compete with cheap business." He said that, from reports he had received, the Denio fire alarm had not been fully tested anywhere and that In Rochester, N. Y.. It has proved unsatisfactory. L. A. McNary. counsel for the Denio Company, said he believed if any points In the Denio system are bad they should be exposed, but he did not think "any selfish features should be considered." Mr. McNary said that the promoters of the Denio Company, who are well known bankers of San Francisco, have said positively they cannot afford to pay any ratio of per centum on their gross earnings, as they declare they will make-nothing on their Investment for a long time. They feel, however, that their system will be of great bene fit to Portland and are willing to In stall it. provided the Council will give them the permit asked. A provision has been inserted making SO cents a month the maximum rate that can be charged to any Individual. Councilman Maguire tomorrow will make a minority report to the Council, Insisting that the Denio Company be compelled to pay 3 per cent of its gross earnings direct to the city. If granted the permit. Unless this provision car ries, the city will receive virtually nothing for the valuable rights given, he declares collegTtoIaTstoi REED PLANS CEREMONIES OX AFTERNOON OF JIAT II.

Deputy Game and Fire Wardens to Number of 350 Ordered to En force State Law. The pollution of streams in the mountains and forests throughout the state, which yearly has been prov ing a greater menace to campers and others who pass vacations In the open, will be watched this season by 350 men all over the state. This arrangement was Just com pleted yesterday between Dr. Calvin S White. Secretary of the State Board of Health, and William L. Finley, State Game Warden, who has issued per emptory orders to game wardens to enforce to the letter the law governing the pollution of streams. Warden Finley has 250 deputy war dens under him. These, together with 100 fire wardens, make a formidable health force. Last Summer Dr. White made ar rangements by which all state and Government forest rangers were re quired to enforce the law. Their work resulted in a decrease of typhoid fever. Sections 2237 and 28 of Lord's Laws forbid "the depositing of any dead animal carcass, or part thereof, or excrement, putrid, nauseous, noisome, decaying or offensive substance Into, or In any manner which befouls, pol lutes or impairs the quality of any stream, well or pond of water which Is being-or may be used for domestic purposes." The State Board of Health Is now preparing several thousand cloth, pla cards, which will be distributed throughout the statei warning camp ers and others of the law. SAND ON STREETS BIG AID Boon to Horsed and Autos Alike and Helps Street Cleaners. Since the sand-sprinkling ' machine was put In operation on the streets of Portland bv the Oregon Humane So ciety many letters have been received by the officials Indorsing this means of Bavlng horses from sllpptng on the steep grades. Not only Is the spread ing of sand an advantage to horses, but also prevents automobiles from Bkld dlng. Officials of the street-cleaning department have also discovered that the sand acts as a scourer and removes all grease and oil from the pavement. The latest letter commending the use of sand on the streets was received by the Humane Society yesterday from Samuel Hill, good roads advocate. His letter follows: It Rives me pleasure to unqualifiedly In dorse tha sand sprinkler now In uae on the streets of Portland. Without having seen that. I had planned to build one. and Juaf as my plana were completed I saw the on now in use on the streets of Portland.
