"CAVEMAN," WHO AS ROMANTICIST AND PEDDLER WORKED
HIS WAY INTO POLICE COURT ON PORTLAND
WOMAN'S COMPLAINT.
Harry Wallenstein, Whose Affec
tions Played Between Wife and
Daughter, Takes Mrs. David
Moses' Complaint as Joke.
iJomanticist by nature but a peddler
fcy trade, Harry Wallensteir. is alleged
to have attempted to use caveman
methods in his suit for the hand of
Mrs. David Moses. 687 Macadam road,
with the result that he fell into the
clutches of the law and appeared In
Tolice Court yesterday. He was ar
rested by Patrolman Cameron on a
charpe of disorderly conduct.
"First he wanted to marry me. telling-
me my husband was a stick, said
Mrs. Moses, "and them he made love to
my daughter. When his advances were
repulsed he threatened us with all
sorts of misfortune and trouble."
Mrs. Moses said she was afraid to
deep for fear her wooer with a vol
canic nature would burn down the
house.
"You have to do as I say," "Wallen
tein Is quoted as having- said to her.
"I can make you lots of trouble."
love Dream Dawns.
He is said to have shown her a Cali
fornia paper with an article telling
how he was wanted by the authori
ties there, "just to show that the offi
cers couldn't get him" and that he was
immune from arrest." He is also said
to have accused her with having a
dirty" house and that there were all
kinds of disease grerms in. the place,
urgringr her to "clean up."
It was on a Spring- morning about
two months ago that Wallenstein
dropped in to sell Mrs. Moses some of
his wares. She purchased 5 cents'
worth of writing paper. It was then
that Cupid got in his work. Later
Wallenstein peddled milk for Mrs.
Moses.- .
"I have been looking for years for a
woman like you," Wallenstein is de
clared to have told Mrs. Moses in the
presence of her husband.
Mr. DIouck Sleeker Than Job.
"If Mr. Moses hadn't been meeker
than his namesake he would have
taken, the ax handle to him then and
there," broke in a neighbor, who had
interested himself in the case.
Wallenstein was also charged with
having demanded money from Mrs.
Moses, threatening that he would take
her two cows if she didn't give it to
him.
"Judge," said Wallenstein, after
listening to the testimony against
him, "I would like to laugh but I am
a. sick man."
He admitted that he urged Mrs.
Moses to clean her house, declaring it
was because he believed "cleanliness is
Godliness."
"That is the only religion I have,"
he said.
Wallenstein Becomes Distrusted.
"This happened a long time ago," he
began reminiscently. "I was traveling
in Indiana and carrying a bundle. I
saw a caboose and I ran and caught it
and rode for a while. Later I got off
at a place where a lot of trainmen were
staying. They were washing. I said:
What's the use washing you only get
dirty again?' They took me then and
gave me the scrubbing of my life. After
it was over . I felt a thousand times
better. Those brakemen cleaned me
up and done me a favor.
"I am disgusted with life," he con
tinued. "You can't do anything for
people but they return it with in
gratitude."
Judge Langguth turned Wallenstein
over to the county physicians for in
vestigation. A physician who had been
treating him said the mart was suf
fering from a nervous disorder. He
has been staying at the Ohio Hotel.

cused Men's Friends.
SAN7 FRANCISCO. Aug. 2. John Mc
T)aniels. a witness, whose identity is
being withheld, today told the police
he saw Warren K. Billings, a bomb
suspect in custody, place a cheap paper
suitcase alongside the saloon wall at
Market and Steuart streets where its
contents later exploded and killed
eight and wounded more than 40 per
sons during San Francisco's prepared
ness ' parade. McDaniels also said he
saw Tom Mooney, another jailed sus
pect, confer with Billings on the fatal
corner a few minutes before the explosion.
Both Billings and Mooney were iden
tified at the city prison today by Mc
Daniels. The witness said he was
standing near the saloon corner watch
ing the parade and noticed Billings
coming up Steuart street five minutes
before the explosion, carrying the suit
case. When he arrived at the corner.
Mooney came out of the saloon and met
liim. Billings then set the suitcase
near the wall, both men looked at their
watches and then separated. McDaniels
then crossed the street and in a few
minutes heard the explosion.
McDaniels' identity is being withheld,
it was believed, for fear friends of
Billings and Mooney and the other
suspects, would harm him for testify
ing. His evidence is regarded by the
.police as the last link in the chain
thrown about the men in Jail.

Big Growth in Trade With South
America and All Countries. Ex
cept Central Allies and
Japan, Is Shown.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. Merchant
shipping cleared from ports of the
United States in the year ending June
30 set a new -record, notwithstanding
the allied blockade, the closing of the
Black -Sea and the withdrawal of Ger
man and Austrian merchant ships from
trade. Bureau of Navigation reports
made public today show the tonnage
cleared was 25.500.000. of which 2,500,
000 originated in the Unitel States and
23.000.000 was foreign. The previous
high mark was 24.800.000 tons cleared
in the year ending June 30, 1914.
Comparing the two years, American
shipping tripled and European clear
ances decreased. The American ton
nage to South America was 950,000
nearly five times greater, and to
Europe 1.100.000, two and a half times
greater. Total clearances to France
and Italy almost doubled: clearances
to Norway, Denmark and Sweden more
than doubled, and to Greece increased
three-fold.
The increase in clearances of Ameri
can shipping to South American coun
tries is most notable for Argentina,
whose tonnage in 1914 was less than
5000, and in 1916. 190.000. and for Co
lumbia, which got 285 tons of American
products in 1914, and 100.000 tons in
1916. Clearings to Brazil were four
times greater and to Chile five times.
China got 5000 tons of American
goods in 1915 and 37,000 in 1916, and
for Japan there was a decrease from
G6.000 to 13.000. Importations from
Europe cleared from American ports
for China were one-half as much in
1916 as in 1914, and for Japan was
seven-tenths.

Only under closed-shop conditions
will the rank and file of the River
Steamboatmen's Union return to worlt,
they aay.
Only under open-shop conditions will
steamboat employers operate their ves
sels and accept union men only when
vacancies exist among: the nonunion
deckhands, firemen and watchmen, they
say.
Attitudes of both sides were reiter
ated yesterday following: a session be
tween committees. Steamboat owners
say they were asked to grive audience
to representatives of the union. Cap
tain J. W. Shaver, of the Shaver Trans
portation Company; Captain A. W. Gra
ham, of the Oregon City Transporta
tion Company, and B. T. Mchain. super
intendent of the Willamette Navigation
Company, a committee of the employ
ers, met Charles Bennett, business
gent of the union, and three otnera oi
the organization.
The union men, it is said, desires to
ascertain if the employers had changed
their stand as to open shop. The reply
was that the wages of $45 a month
would continue to prevail as far as was
known: that ooen shop would be in
sisted on. though not to the extent that
union men would be denied worK, oniy
that men who had caused trouble since
the strike began. June 1, would be re
fused Dlaces and others would be con
sidered, for employment when there
were vacancies.
Mr. Bennett said a meeting was
called in the afternoon, the determin
ation as expressed by the employers
committee was made known and the
union voted against returning under
open-shop rule.
After more than u aays since tne
strike, steamboat owners declare the
nonunion men signed are giving iuu
satisfaction; that they have become
familiar with their work, and they
propose to keep those who accepted em
ployment and assisted in keeping the
fleet moving.
Previous to June 1 40 a month was
paid, and the walkout was on the
declination of the owners to pay J5Q
for deckhands and $55 a month for
firemen, oilers and watchmen, with all
50 cents an hour overtime, a 12-hour
day and one day's rest each week.
LUMBER SHIPMENTS HEAVY
Lower Columbia River Sends jfway
Over 4 7,000,000 Feet in July.
ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 2. (Special.)
Shipments of lumber from the Lower
Columbia River district during the
month of July were large. In that
month 22 vessels with cargoes from
the lower river mills and three large
rafts with logs and piling from lower
river points sailed for California. Their
combined cargoes amounted to 43,493,-
000 feet of lumber. In the same period
five vessels carrying 3,668, 03a feet of
umber from local mills sailed for for
eign ports.
The upper river mills snippea no
lumber foreign, but three vessels car
ried 280.000 feet to California' and two
vessels took 1.2S8.035 feet to Alaska,
making a grand total of 51,061,235 feet
of lumber that left the Columbia luver
In vessels or in rafts during July. In
addition to this, five carloads of box
shooks went to California by water,
while 219 tons of flour and 30 tons or

TIE BUSINESS IS OFFERED
Lumber Dealers Hear That 500,000
Pieces Are Wanted in South.
Lumbermen have been approached
for quotations on ties for delivery at
Colon. It being understood that 500.-

delivery is regarded a moat bother
some one at this time and so far as
could be ascertained yesterday no part
of the order was placed here.
Steam schooners are coming out
again after being detained due to the
strike and their services are in strong
demand, so with no larger vessels to
be had and the sailing fleet under
charter for months and even a year
ahead, no tonnage is lying around that
could be taken on short notice for the
Canal trip. More tie orders remain in
the hands of millmen along the Co
lumbia River, intended for shipment
to England, but it is understood all
have not been1 cut and there is little
probability of a rush of that kind until
instructions are received that a
steamer is on the way to load them

VESSEL'S WHEEL IS REDUCED
Change Made In Grahumona to Per
mit Passing Over Shoal Bars.
To the end that shallow bars may
be passed during the low-water season
on the Upper Willamette River route.
the steamer Grahamona. of the ieuow
Stack line, is to be equipped with a
new wheel, having a smaller diameter
than the one in use and the "dip" in
the water will be decreased eight
inches. At some points the difference
of eight inches will permit the vessel
to nass without the wneei toucning.
It has been said tnat at limes tne
Yellow Stack steamers "walk over" the
bars, which is literally true when buck
ets on all wheelarms strike bottom.
Water is so "thin above Salem that
the company will not send the Gra
hamona to Independence after today,
making Salem the terminus during the
low-water season. The stage yesterday
at Salem was 1.1 feet above zero, and
no concern is felt that the service to
the capital will be interrupted soon. ,

will make her maiden voyage from the
Golden Gate to the United Kingdom.
Telegraphic information was received
yesterday that the engagement had
been made at private terms.
The Annette Rolph has attracted
more attention than any other steel
freighter building on the Coast be
cause she was ordered by Mayor Rolph,
of San Francisco: was sold in Decem
ber to Theodore B. Wilcox, of this city,
head of the Portland Flouring Mills
Company, who resold her to Mayor
Rolph at a wide and profitable margin,
and in turn she was disposed of to a
Norwegian syndicate. One estimate Is
that she will load close to 10,000 tons
of barley.
SHOVELS XOT FARM TOOLS
Implements Must Be for Agricul
tural Needs to Get on Free List.
Uncle Sam has such a warm spot
in his heart for the farmer and rancher
that he sanctions the free importation
of plows, hayrakes, mowers and various
kinds of gear and implements pressed
into service in the Interest of agricul
ture, but he will not include in the
list spades and shovels.
That was made known at the custom
house yesterday on the receipt of a
decision of the Board of General Ap
praisers, some of whom held sessions
here, and they insist that shovels are
used for construction work, ditch
digging and kindred purposes in the
city, so cannot be classed as agricul
tural tools because some of them find
their way into the fields. Therefore,
shovels and spades imported hereafter
will be taxed 20 per cent of their value.

A study of the month of July. 191S
as compared with the same month last
year, from a statistical standpoint In
dicates that many lines of business
have Improved greatly over last year,
while others have fallen off. due in
part, no doubt, to the strikes that have
recently interfered with shipping activ
ities.
Rank clearings, postoffice receipts
and deposits, livestock receipts and
flour and oats receipts are placed on
the favorable side of the ledger, while
decreases are -shown lr shipping sta
tistics, building permits and wheat.
hay and barley receipts.
The bank clearings for July. 191.
were $46,165.59$ as compared with $40.
560.206 for the same month last year,
a substantial gain. This year's month
in the Portland banks was also busier
than It was during July. 1914. when the
clearings totaled Ii8.046.477
The total receipts at the Portland
postoffice last month were $90,184.21.
while last year they did not quite
reach the $90,000 mark. At the close
of business July 31 there were 7116
accounts in the Portland postal sav
ings bank. The total deposits were
$1,106,077. the gain for July being
$41,999.

lightest in the history of the port, only
65.293 bushels, which went to Call for
nia. Last year July made the best
showing for the month in six years,
