AD L OF BOPP AIDES IS INCREASED Counsel of German Consul Fears His Clients Will Have to Go to Prison. $25,000 REQUIRED OF EACH Break With Berlin Is Cause of Ac tion and Case Is Without Prece dent Secret Service Keeps 5 Conspirators Under Watch. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 7. Franz Bopp, ex-German Consul-General, and four aides, under prison sentences for conspiring- against American neutrality, were ordered to furnish Increased bail of $25,000 each today by Judge Hunt In the United Stateu District Court. Theo dore J. Roche, Bopp's counsel, said it undoubtedly meant that Bopp would have to go to Jail. E. H. Von Schack was the only one to furnish the re quired amount. The defendants were at liberty on $10,000 bail pending appeal. Judge Hunt declared the case was without precedent. The increased bail was asked and granted because of the "strained relations between the United States and Germany." Judge Hunt gave the defendants until 10 o'clock to raise the new bail money. He said he would hear them again If they could not obtain it by that time. Mrs. Margaret Cornell, one of Bopp's aides sentenced to a year, said she would begin her sentence at that time, as she "was almost crazy from being ahadowed by secret service men and could not sleep." The other defendants are E. H. von Schack, ex-Vice Consul: Lieutenant George Wilhelm von Brlncken and C. C. Crowley, a detective. The fact that Judge Dooling, of the United States District Court, raised the bail of a score of defendants in the Sacramento German neutrality cases from $1000 to $10,000 forces Von Schack to put up $35,000. He is a de fendant in those cases. "This means that my clients un doubtedly will have to go to Jail im mediately." said Mr. Roche. "The surety companies have demanded cash or col lateral that could be turned into cash instantly." to the United States, tolic delegate died today.

Executives and Legislatures Will Be Invited to Attend Ceremonies. Vancouver Makes Big Prepar ations for Event Wednesday. In advancing the date of the open ing of the Interstate bridge and fix ing the date for next Wednesday, Feb ruary 14. the Bridge Commission fixed an occasion for a celebration which it believes ought to appeal to every citi zen. It is the 58th anniversary of the admission of the state of Oregon to the Union. The fact will be enfphaslzed in the limited speeches that are to be deliv ered when the Portland people reach Vancouver on their first journey over the bridge. It makes the affair of suf ficient importance to warrant inviting the members of the Legislatures and state executives of Washington and Oregon to attend. E. E. Beard, member of the celebra tion committee for Vancouver, yester day went to Olympia to deliver an in vitation in person. He will also in vite members of the Washington "State Editorial Association, now in session at Olympia, Bridge Work Economical. Rufus Holman, chairman of the Commission, will send such an invi tation to Governor WIthycombe and the Oregon Legislature. The Governor is a member of the Commission also. That the construction of the bridge has been an economical Job Is evi denced by the statement of the Com mission, which points out that it has been enabled to build two approaches from the Multnomah County side in stead of the one approach called for in the original plops. Wednesday will be, the only opportu nity that the public will have to make use of the bridge without cost. After it shall be opened officially at 12:30 o'clock all kinds of vehicles may pass either way without paying tolls for the rest of the afternoon. Thursday morning the tollgate geepers will go on the job. Merchants Urged to Attend. The flnst streetcar to make the trip to Vancouver will carry persons who desire to attend the ceremony. It will leave the depot of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company at 11:45 o'clock. Vancouver citizens are preparing a hearty welcome for their Portland friends who visit them on Wednesday. They are anxious that a large crowd shall be their guests. The Portland committee yesterday expressed the hope that all business men who can get away for a couple of hours will go over the bridge by auto or streetcar. No invitations will be issued except through the press. WATCHMEN ARE NOT HIRED Collector of Customs Not Adding to Force Under Hia Cluirgc. Collector of Customs Burke's office resembled an employment agency yesterday,- about 100 men having applied there to be hired as watchmen, they having labored under the mistake that Collector Burke was increasing his force. "We are not employing men as spe cial watchmen and have nothing what ever to do with any that are being hired to guard private property," said Collector Burke. Railroad corporatione and others have strengthened their forces for guarding bridges and the like; also powder concerns have put on men in some Instances, but the Government force remains the same. Custom-House inspectors are on duty with the emer gency harbor patrol being maintained, and. there being little deep-water shipping, plenty of those officers are available for that purpose. The police are co-operating as well. SHIP DEALS ARE UNDER WAY War Threats Do Not Appear to Deter Americans From Dickering. Evidence that the war scare has not Influenced negotiations for the pur chase of new wooden ships here is offered by owners in some quarters, who admit that they are dealing this week with persons in the market for tonnage: also it is known more new contracts are being arranged for. So far as is known, sales now in sight will be to American firms, so war conditions will not affect deals. Naturally, as compared with prices asked a year ago, higher figures are in effect today because of increased wages in shipyards and advance in the cost of material and gear. In fact some builders have refused to consider new contracts on a basis other than for 10 to 15 per cent above the actual cost of the vessel, that to be ascertained on her completion.

With dls senting votes cast by the two Socialist members only, the Assembly today, un der an emergency message from Gov ernor Whitman, passed the bill making immediately available $1,000,000 for ex. penses of the National Guard. The bill passed the Senate yesterday With Establishment of Portland Office Business Interests Feel They Are Now in Touch With Big Organization. Steel wanted by the Alaska En gineering Commission, in proposals re ceived yesterday by Joseph J. Hlttin- ger, Portland representative of the Commission, on which bids are to be opened, at Seattle February 15. win make up several cargoes as gauged by the amounts now carried on Alaska vessels. The principal lot is 10,000 tons of 70-pound railroad steel, while 33,600 pieces of 26-inch angle splice bars. 4700 kegs of railroad track spikes and 670 kegs of railroad track bolts com plete the list. A few days ago the Commission announced that It was in the market for two seagoing wooden barges, for which bids will be opened Saturday. Some Competition Possible. As the Portland office was estab lished February 1, business Interests feel that it is proving an advantage In placing them in direct touch with the big Alaskan organization and, even with direct steamship service lacking from this harbor at present, some are able to compete on certain items through their, agencies on Puget Sound or by virtue of having branch houses there. Each opportunity for obtaining such new business Is being used by those in terested as an argument for an Alaska service and it is said that 1917 will be the strongest season for business the Northern territory has offered since Alaska boom days. In addition to steel construction ma terial, the Commission will be in the market for lumber as the season ad vances and should mills or brokers here be awarded contracts for considerable amounts, no doubt tonnage will be- found to transport It direct. Purchase Needs Learned. Mr. Hittinger was at the Seattle headquarters of the Commission early In the week and was given a general insight into the class of purchases to be made. It was estimated last week that the amount during 1917 would be 60.000 to 70.000 tons and certain classes of goods will be handled by the Com mission's own vessels, barges being used to be towed by tugs. The expe rience of 1916. when the regular fleets were unable to move shipments when wanted, is expected to cause more ves sels to be put on. GERMANS GAIN CONCESSION Citizenship Applications May Be Acted on Here In Ordinary Cases To an extent the tension of immi gration authorities during the past few days, due to the relations with Ger many, has been relaxed, the bureau at Washington having advised that no action is to be taken now regarding Germans on vessels in the river other than would apply to any of the same nationality ashore, and that declara tions to become citizens may be con sidered. In the event any of them ap ply their cases will be passed on by three Inspectors, fepeclal details being referred to Washington. Since the strained relations between the two countries were manifest the order has been to refer all such applications to Washington before final proceedings were taken. Instructions resulting in the seizure of German ships lying in the river would have meant that the partial crews remaining would have been taken In charge by the immigration officers and quartered ashore. That department is working with the Fed eral forces in all steps having to do with aliens. SHIP HERO FOUNDERS AT SEA Vessel Here Two Years Ago Is Lost After Changing Flags. Even with the stress of war that has sent numerous carriers to the bottom. which were known here, causes that apply In time of peace continue to be credited with the loss of tonnage, the latest being the Danish ship Hero, last here two years ago under the Nor wegian colors, which Is reported to have foundered at sea about January 29. Previous to the vessel having gone down she had been at Rotterdam and wa shown to be In that harbor as late as November 22. Shinping men calculate that the war has done more than all possible com petition with steam tonnage to decrease the sailing fleet. For years it has been forecasted that the day of the square rigger was growing shorter, yet until the very opening of the war they were holding their own in the grain trade and following their old course via the Horn, while the tramp steamer fleet chose the Panama Canal route en route to Europe.

The ac tion of hot water and limestone phos phate on an empty stomach is wonder fully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, wasto and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you ara enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the Inside organs. The millions of people who are both ered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a' quarter pound of limestone phos phate from the drug store, which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of Internal sanitation.
