18 TITE MORyiXG OltEGOXIAy. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1012. - . - I - : ; M'in munawii WW ship crowd Joyous Holiday Spirit Reigns as Beaver Leaves Portland. CHRISTMAS TREES CARRIED Oregon Grape Also Decorates lec-k n Vrel Starts Down Stream Car' rjlng Theatrical Folk. AVIio Make Merry at Stnrt. Hurdly our of 3ft pa5rnajem e hoard the Beaver, flaxship of the San Fran rico & Portland coterie, failed to ex hibit a ymile when the liner barked into the stream from Ainsworth dock yesterday and "lined ud" for the Broad way bridge on her way to California. It was remarked by some, whose busi ness demands that they be on hand with the sailing of every vessel, that It was the Jolllest aggregation of passen gers they had ever viewed. The holiday aspect was everywhere, from tell-tale pieces of cargo that wont Into thn hold to bulky parkages car ried by travelers who expect to. make gladsome the hearts of certain Cali fornia's, even some going inland, where friends are engaged In reclaiming lands on which the principal growth is now mesqultr. Or the promenade deck of the' Beaver were stacked Christmas trees and Oregon grape. Theatrical Troupe Ka Iloote. . In the cabin were 151 passengers and among the number are members of a theatrical troupe who promised to en liven things en route with & few of the stunts that draw for them salaries ashore. In fact, when the Beaver was backing from her berth, there was a selection by male voices that carried across the water In true harmony. Several well-known Fortlanders were registered on the books of Kent W. Clark, the purser, one of them being Harry Campion, superintendent of the I'ort of Portland towage and pilotage department, who goes to Los Angeles and Avalon for a month's stay to re gain his strength, having recently suf fered an attack of typhoid fever. Big Cargo Carried. Incidentally the Beaver carried the record cargo for San Pedro that lias been loaded here, it being reported as 1900 tons, while she lias 600 tons for San Francisco. A3 she Is to make a short stay at the Bay City she was given a smaller consignment for there. As many students from Stanford Uni versity will travel to Los Angeles to spend the Christmas -vacation the bulk of her load was for the Southern city, where she will spend two days. Her next arrival will be December IS and again her stay will be cut Phort. as she is to sail December 31. one day in advance of schedule, as was the case yesterday. GItAIIAMOXA MISSES OXK TKIP I'lagship of Yellow-Stack Line Meets With Minor Accident. Hardly had the new steamer Graham ona. of the Yellow Stack Line, reached Milwaukle yesterday morning, on her way to Corvallls. when a hot Journal gave trouble, and she returned to the city. The shaft and brasses were badly cut, and when she was headed about It Is said the brass had amalgamated with the other metal and had to be filed away, so she could head for the dock. As a consequence, the Grahamona will not proceed upstream until to morrow, though officials of the fleet had a crack schedule mapped out to begin yesterday. Owing to low water above Salem the steamer Oregona has been used as a transfer vessel, making a dailv round trip between there and Corvallls. while the Grahamona and Pomona plied to the Capital. The Ore gona waa ordered back from there yes terday, as the depth of water Increased so the steamers could proceed through from Portland, when the accident tem porarily laid one vessel up. There will be a boat for the upper river today, as usual; ORIKNTAL, DESERTERS SOCGHl Three Chinese Ate Ml.-slng. With Two of Nipponese Xatlvity. J. H. Barbour. United States immi gration inspector, who Is Interested In tracing family trees, has set about fer reting out how a subject of the Mikado chanced to have a name that smacks strongly of the bogs of Ireland, as he has been listed on the articles of the Japanese tramp Nankal Mara as M. Ohara. I.Ike those who spell the name O'Hara and have gone to sea, the little brown man Is a coal passer. But the Ohara In question is notori ous because he Is branded as a deserter In leaving the Japanese tramp, first without permission of the skipper and, secondly, for having eluded the four watchmen employed to prevent such escapades. With him went It Tokuda. a cook. From the steamer Auchendale three men are likewise missing, but they are Chinese and burdened with good old fnshloned Celestial cognomens. Lum Chum, a fireman, known for having a pit In the center of hla forehead and mole on the bridge of his nose: Ah Chow. Identified by a scar above the loft ovebrow and a mole on the right side of his nostril, and Ah Tong. with a pit on the left cheek and another on the bridge of his nose, are the men sought, and Captain McClure haa of fered a reward of 150 for each one lo cated. . FRENCH BARK REXE ARRIVES Craft 134 Day From Dunkirk Will Load' Grain Cargo. ASTORIA. Or.. Dec. 16. (Special.) The French bark Rene arrived late last night, 134 days from Dunkirk. In bal last, and wlfl load grain. Captain Itioual reports an uneventful trip, al though he encountered considerable bad weather In the Atlantic. He saw no Icebergs off the Horn and was but 12 days making the run from Staten Island to '.ft south. As the Rene was being towed in by the tug Wallula. the latter'a towing machinery broke while the bark was on the bar. The Rene had all her upper and litwer topsails set, so came along unassisted, until the tug was aoio to make the hawser fast to the bltts and nroceed with her tow. The Rene sailed from here about ten months ago for Qtieenstown and would have returned last November, excepting that she was delayed six weeks in Dunkirk on ac count of a sailors" strike. METROPOLIS NOT IDLE LONG llouscr Adds Two Ships to Fleet In Less Than Week. Tonnage is not going begging through the reported cessation In the call for transportation to the United Kingdom, as was evidenced yesterday when M. IT. ITouser chartered the Brit Is bark Metropolis, which arrived De cember 11 from Buenos A vies and, be cause of slow passage, due 'largely to having been in Icebergs off the Horn for 45 days, lost her charter, the Port land Flouring Mills Company not huv ing taken advantage of an option to renew It. Besides the Metropolis Mr. Hauser made another recent addition to his fleet, having engaged the British steamer Strathlorne last week to load when here for the United Kingdom, with the usual options as to other ports of the European Continent, and her rate was 42 shillings 6 pence. There Is lit tle prospect that more than one or two more carriers will be listed for grain, as exporters estimate that tonnage on the way that Is under charter will be suffi cient for their requirements.

CONTRAGTORS'SIDETOLD ATTOTtXEY BLAMES CUB FOR FINANCIAL TAN'GLE. Law Wlilch Binds Only One Party to Contract to Accept Arbitration Is Declared Cnfalr. PORTLAND. Or., Dec. IB. (To the Editor.) I notice an item in The Ore gonlan today about the suit of Mclnnls & Reed against the Multnomah Ama teur Athletlo Club, et al.. in which it is stated: "The builders got into a disagree ment among themselves anJ the club management preferred that the con troversy should be settled in court be fore they paid anything more." That statement is so incorrect. Is so unfavorable to the contractors, is so favorable to the little clique that has been masquerading under the club name and doing great Injustice to the contractors, that I ask you to print this article from me. the attorney for the contractors. There has been a great deal of pub licity about the new Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club, plenty of people seeking undeserved advertisement and praise for its building, but the public has never bee,n informed correctly as to who built that magnificent build ing and who have not been paid for It. The main contract was let to Mclnnis & Reed. The contract was never writ ten up and signed as contemplated by the bid. The contractors went ahead with an informal contract and imper fect plans and specifications and built a splendid building not provided for in. the imperfect plans and specifica tions bid upon, and made vast improve ments and changes under informal or ders under an informal contract, and under imperfect plans and specifica tions. The result was a complete, splendid building, which was not cov ered by the bid, and the imperfect plans and specifications. During the construction of this splen jt k . . 1 1 .i t r a- the. netnnle reDresentlng the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club did do as agreed and estimate eacn . v -n.v ii n H material satisfac torily in place and pay S5 per cent thereof each montn. iney oraiiy the "easy" contractors to wait for the adjustment of extras until the building was completed. The contractors com plied. ' - va.i.h 1911 the architects. Whitehouse & Fouilhoux. by Morris H. Whitehouse, sent tne contractors a let ter promising to accept the building as fully completed under the contract of Mclnnls & Reed when certain window sills were fixed, and which would be and were fixed by Saturday night. March 29, 1911. and asking the con tractors to send in their bill of extras. The contractors sent In their bill of ex tras. Then the people representing the club commenced to "dig up" frivolous complaints that contract was not com plete, that club was entitled to dam ages, and the architects refused to give the contractors their final certifi cate which had been promised and which the contractors were entitled to receive. The people representing the club commenced to want to pay their honest bills, incurred in an informal oral way. in accordance with the written orders they had given, when the most of the work had been ordered done by oral orders. The people representing the club would not pay the contractors the balance due. The contract provided for arbitration to arrive at the amount of compensa tion due the contractor and damages due owner. The contractors made writ ten request for club to appoint Its arbitrator and offered to appoint an arbitrator, all as provided In the con tract. The people representing the club would not appoint an arbitrator, nor would they pay the sub-contractors who had filed liens and whose bills are un disputed by the contractors. Then architects made long, indefinite com plaints about work which had been completed and accepted for months and which the club had been using for weeks, to try and make defense for not paying contractors. The contrac tors not being able to even get the club to pay the balance due the sub-contractors and material men. or to get the club to appoint an arbitrator, were compelled to bring suit in the courts. The suit has been on trial for a num ber of days, the attorneys representing the club making every technical de fense as to whether work was ordered In writing or not. did the contractors make formal written protest to archi tect before doing extra work ordered to be done. etc.. etc The contractors are very anxious that court be held in the new clubhouse, so that the work done and material fur nished will be before the court. It speaks for itself. The work and ma terials which Mclnnis & Reed furnished the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and have charged it $168,000 cannot be paid for with that sum of money, and no one will duplicate it for that sum of money. The builders did not get Into a dis agreement among themselves. The peo ple representing the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club got into the contrac tors a good many thousand dollars, and the contractors are trying to get Just a portion of what is owing to them. The club management preferred to pay their debt to the contractors ii der the formal proceedings in court rather than under the Informal pro ceedings of arbitration provided for in the contract. One of the unjust provisions of our law is that a contractor must abide by the contract and arbitrate with the owner or he cannot maintain a suit for his money: but the owner can refuse to be bound by the provision of the con tract as to arbitration and the owner is not Injuriously affected by this breach of contract in the lawsuit. - RALPItR- DUNIJjJAT. r r ri )n nr v a i ji 1 ?; n ?
