THE SUNDAY 0REG0IA7, PORTLAND, MAJRCHr 22, l903. FLOOD IS ABATING Decided .Fall in Mississippi River at Memphis. BELIEF IS SENT TO SUFFERERS Vessels -Arc Seat Throagh Crcrane to iiencHC Tli em Tlie Government Aasrreri Call tor TeatsRiver BBBks Are Caving la. MEMPHIS. Tcnn.. Starch 2-Tonlght there are many hopeful features In the flood situation in the Immediate territory nhout this city. The gauge shows 39.7 leer, -vrhiph is a fall of .9 since last night. It is now believed that the fall is due to natural conditions. It is believed that- the fall -will continue -without check, and that the crisis is Dast. President Kil lough, of the St Francis levee board, today succeeded in sending a large baree through the crevasse at Trice's Landing for the rescue of stock and property at Marion, Ark. The steamer Hugo was .dispatched to the crevasse later with a commission to enter the flooded territory and render assistance. Three other breaks in the levee north Of Memphis will send a. large volume of water through the St. Francis Basin in Arkansas, This water will flow into the Mississippi again at Helena, and the levees south of there -will feel its full force. The situation south of Memphis shows a weak place at Ireland, Ark., opposite Greenville, Miss. The caving of the river tank alone the front of the levee there lias continued rapidly, and is now within 100 feet of the levee proper. A boat has left Greenville -with a heavy barge loaded with rock. It is the intention to sink the barge directly in front of the threatened portion of the levee, with a hope that it yriU stop the encroachment of the waters. The railroads west of Memphis are still tinder water. The railroads are working hard to open the lines, and the .general superintendent of the Iron Mountain an nounces that his line wUl probably be opened for traffic Monday. In this event the other lines will begin traffic opera tions over the Iron Mountain tracks. TEATS FOR. THE SUFFERERS. "War Department Promptly Compiles With Requests for Aid. "WASHINGTON, March 2L Secretary Boot today received telegrams from the Governors of Tennessee and Arkansas in response to his telegraphic inquiry for Information as to the needs of the people of those states In the matter of tents, etc. In consequence of the river floods. Gov ernor Frazer, of Tennessee, telegraphed: "Please send at once GOO tents to Mcrriphis, consigned to Mayor Williams. City of Memphis will pay for them and see that they are returned after use." Governor Davis, of Arkansas, tele graphed from Little Rock as follows: "The flood conditions along the Missis sippi River in our state are bad. "We have no tents in armory for dlstirbutlorf. Please forward first express 100 tents to Judge Derrick, Marianna, Ark., for use of the flood sufferers. I pledge honor of state that same will be carefully cared for, and "when no longer needed will be sent free of charge to Jeffcrsonville, Ind. Please rush tents, juj demand is pressing." No time was lost in complying with these requests lor assistance. Colonel Patten, actlnjr for the Quartermaster General, Immediately sent instructions to the Quartermaster in charge of the de pots at St. Louis and Jeffersonvllle, Ind., to send with the utmost dtspatcn 4SU com mon tents and 20 hospital . tents to Memphis, and 90 common tents and 10 hospital tents to Marianna,-Ark. RELIEF AT SEW ORLEANS. Only Fear Is for Supra r Plantation Along: JBayou Laf ourclic. NEW ORLEANS, March 2L The river tonight was within a. -fraction o19.9. All Indications now point to the fact that the crest of the flood has passed. Memphis, and! there is a better feeling here, as it .19 pos sible to calculate the quantity, of water that must be contended with probably- 2T Jeer, All advices received during the day were favorable, as tar as the Louisiana levees are concerned, .with the exception of those along Bayou Lafourche, where the -water Is in many places flush with Sie top of the levees. More -water Is goIng-JLnto the La fourche from the Mississippi than the bayou is able to take without damage, and breaks win, occur. Many of the finest sugar plantations in the state llo along the hanks of the stream. A cave reported during the day at Gretna was promptly arrested. No further damage is feared from'it. The sacking of the city front was continued today, and a force will ho kept constantly employed to morrow. Rata Delay Levee "Work. NATCHEZ, Miss., March 2L Heavy Tales during the early morning proved a eerious obstacle in the way of work on the Sycamore levee, but with the la bor of 125 men for the past ten days and the Trork done today it Is believed the levee will be kept abovo the flood. The river, gauge at 4 P. M. read -14.1 feet, a rise of .25 in 24 hours. NEW FRATERNITY STARTED dStadcats of Medical College Form an y Organization. The students of the medical depart ment of the University of Oregon have organized a fraternity, and start off with a membership of 15. As this Is the flrst fraternity of the kind organized in the state the members of the faculty took an Interest in the work and -were .present to lend their assistance in forming the or ganization. The event was celebrated by a banquet and interesting addresses were listened to by members of tho faculty and of the fraternity. Dr. Homer I. Kenney. of Jefferson Col lege, was appointed by Dr. Concord, of ew Hampshire, who Is grand president of the Alpha Kappa Kappa Fraternity, to act as installing officer. Dr. Kenney, as sisted by Dr Skeene and Dr. Nelson in stalled the officers. The officers were: E. C Dalton, of St. Helens, On. president: 7. E. Hilderbrant, of Portland, vice-president; Fred J. Zelg- ler, of Portland, treasurer; C L. Temple- ton, oriiaisey. marshal; o. A. Thornton, of Ashland, corresponding secretary: Glenn "Wheelerv of Baker City, recording secretary, ana w. a. scott. of Portland. warden. Ray "Willoughby. F. M. "Whiting and V vj. uiman were appointed on the board of directors. The fraternity will be known as the Epsilon chapter of the Alpha Kappa Kappa Fraternity. About 23 members of the faculty and Invited guests were pres ent at the banquet last night. Tho first order was the installation of tho chapter, after which the officers were Installed, Fourteen charter members were eigned. and F. M. Whiting was Initiated. The binquet was a success la every way. After a spread was. enjoyed, mem bers of tho faculty and members of the society were called upon for addresses. "Anions tho members of the medical fraternity" was tho substance of the ad dresses: by faculty members, "there Is a general Interest in the future of the fra ternity. It is evidence of the growth of the medical college in Portland and shows that the students are thoroughly interest ed in the work. The students can he as sured that they will have the loyal sup port of the faculty in carrying on their work." "Not only arc we grateful, for the good will of the faculty." said the speakers. of the fraternity, "but we can assure them that -we have the best Interests of the school at heart and will work with them in anything that will tend to' advance the institution." The work of -organization has been started with spirit. Already the members have secured comfortable quarters and will be prepared to. lead a fraternal life by the commencement of the next school year. A house on Twentieth .street, be tween North rup and Marshall, has been secured as the fraternity headquarters and has been handsomely furnished. Those of the fraternity -who do not live- in Portland will have rooms in this house during the next school year. THEY WANTED. CONTROL. Watson Declares Purpose of Rail read Merger. ' ' . ST. LOUIS. March 2L Tho final orgur ments in the' Northern Securities case were concluded at 12:34 this afternoon and the caseSvas.leff with the Federal Court of Appeals. Because of the enormous mass of evidence and the voluminous Ar guments -which the Judges are called upon to consider. It is doubtful if a decision will be possible within two months, and the probabilities are the time "will be long er than that. - - - , . Assistant Attorney-General -Beck asked at the opening of the hearing how much time would be allowed to the attorneys for the Government' to file their briefs. After a short . conference ..with his col leagues. Judge Caldwell announced that the Government could have three days to prepare and submit its briefs. The matter of the briefs -being settled, D. T. Wotsen resumed -his -argument, which was in progress' at last" night's adjourn ment. He insisted that the position taken by the defendants, that they had the right under state laws to form a combina tion, was not well taken for the reason that behind the sovereign power of the state was a power still more sovereign, and this latter power said that such . a combination was unlawful and tended to stifle competition. "They combined in New Jersey," said Mr. Watson. "Why? "What purpose had they in New Jersey? To manufacture? To make silk? Even to run a railroad? Certainly not. They wanted to run rail roads in Minnesota, and for these gentle men to come here and say they had any other object is ludicrous." Mr. Watson declared all railroad business In the territory of the' Great" Northern and Northern Pacific Rail ways was abso lutely 'in control ;of the Northern Securi ties' Company, and it was the State ' of New Jersey, 1000 miles from where the railroads start, that- glve3-them.r the pow er to establish rates and dictate policies in Minnesota, Dakota, Montana and other states. Such a condition, he declared, was out of all equity and Justice. If the course of the Northern Securities Company was upheld, Mr. "Watson de" clared, there is nothing to prevent an ab sorption of all other transcontinental lines, or, indeed, of all other lines. It would enable them to 'stifle all competi tion and regulate all freight rates. This last, he said, was not & matter of such great Importance, but it was the -power. that would accrue to the corporation and the loss of liberty to the individual citizen that ' formed the great objection to the. merger. The contention of the defendants, that the anti-trust . act did not apply to the present case, but lt did apply directly to the control' of commerce for 'the -reason that the roads were operated through agents, was vigorously combatted by Mr. "Watson, who claimed that It was in point,. and that the position of the defendants was so excessively technical that it amounted to nothing. "It is the question of control that de termines this case," he said, "and it is nt ter nonsense for these gentlemen "who own the stock to say that the act does, not art- ply to them. It is control, control, noth ing but control that counts, and these men have It." Tho argument of Mr. Bunn, declaring that tho states and not the National Government have the power - to reg ulate the consolidation of railway companies, was discussed briefly by Mr. watson, -who declared such, a the ory to be absurd. He claimed that the Northern Securities Company had no right to secure under the laws of New Jersey a charter, that would enable it to violate the .laws of Minnesota and "Wisconsin. He declared further that the laws of New Jersey conferred upon them no such power as they claimed under It. At 12:34 Mr. Watson's argument was concluded and the case was taken under advisement by tho court. LEILICH A DISTURBER. Preachers Prefer Charges Against Senator Smoot'a Accuser. SALT LAKE CITY, March 2L The Tel egram today states that 20 of the 23 pas tors whoso churches are -within tho Juris diction of Rev. J. L Leillch. superintend ent of the Utah Missions of the Metho dist Episcopal Church. - have united in. a protest to Bishop "Warner, , of Denver, against Mr. Leillch, asking for his re moval to some other field. This protest will bo sent to the Central Pennsylvania conference, of which Mr. Leillch Is a member. ' Mr. Leillch is the divine who preferred tho charges of polygamy against Senator Reed Smoot. These charges, -which did not receive tho sanction of tho Minister ial Alliance, apparently have no part In the protest, which sets forth that , his methods have caused continual friction, and that his removal would be for the best Interests of the Methodist Church. STILL REFUSE TO SELL. Suspected Missouri Hoodlers Seat to Jail by Lcglalatare. JEFFERSON, Mo.. March 2L The House today declared L L. Page, the newspaper correspondent, in contempt of tho Houso Sor refusing to tell the' boodle Investigating committee where he got a $1000 bill which he-had changed at a bank here. Speaker Whltecotton Issued a writ of commitment to the county Jail for both Page and Senator Hlckox, who was or dered Immediately imprisoned 'yesterday, and the Sergeant-at-Arms took ' them to Jalh Chief Justice Robinson - issued a - writ of habeas corpus this afternoon in the case of Page and Hlckox. and set. the bearing for Monday morning. Francis at "Washington. "WASHINGTON, March 3. Ex-Governor Francis, president of the. St. Louis Exposition, called at the State Depart ment today, accompanied by P. V. de Graw, the local representative of the ex position, and had a short chat with Sec retary Hay and Assistant Secretary Loomls, In the course of which the Gov ernor briefly ran over the principal feat ures of his tour of the European capitals in the Interest of the coming event. Mr. Francis lunched with the President. St. Louis Resents the Charge. Pittsburg Dlspatch. St. Louis indignantly repudiates tho charge of being given over to shameless corruption and pertinently remarks that it was the first city to send a gang of boodlers to the penitentiary. The point would seem well taken. Tho cities -which fail to send corruptionists to 'Jell are tho really shameless spots. Crop Looking Well. PROSSER, Wash., March ZL. (Special.) Crops, so farmers say, have not been injured by the frost. The -weather is warm and Springlike. There' Is no snow on the Rattlesnake Hills, and it 'is be lieved that Spring has come to stay. Seed ing is genera STOCKS ON HIGHER BASIS SKW YORK MARKET XAKT BET TER. SHOWING THAN WEEK AGO. Money Is Appreciably Easier Chill- lag Iaflaence on Specalatloa of " Keene-Harrlmaa Contest. . NEW YORK, March 21. Prior to the publication -of .the weekly bank figures tne-atocic market was" xery ami. -out, later showed some- .degree of animation. Opening- -prices refieiJtedi steadiness of, tone. and Metropolitan, Rock Island and Mex ican Central -were among the stocks that '-moved upwardL Tho .activity in Metropolitan -suggested: a. continuance of the -attack-, upon the Short interest. Ru- ,mors of - a 'Rock Island-Mexican Central combination "were pot very generally cred ited, and the last-named, stock. was .check ed Indts-advance hy offerings aggregating 10,000 shares. The professional .element Indulged " In' -some -profit taking ln qertain of the Vanderbllt-issu.es." tbgse including St. Paul, Union Pacific and Atchison. Yes. terday's special selling of sugar was re newed.. The demand for . Pennsylvania was . reported: to i have disclosed a consid erable short interest in that stock. Southern Pacific which was lower In London, .showed .little change- here, and was comparatively neglected. Figures published today show a decrease In South ern Pacific net. earnings for January of over. $307,000. . Louisville. Sc. Nashville was firm.. and Canadian Pacific responded. only In a slight measure to the keen demand for that stock tin London.. The report of the Coal Strike Commission seemed to have been discounted, the hard coalers exhibiting marked firmness from the out set. There j was no trading of. any con sequence In the soft coal stock, -In spite .of the announcement of. an . advance of 10 per cent per ton in tidewater prices on April .-L- The close was dull-and steady. The.bank statement was well received, al though the lpss of cash was somewhat In excess; of estimates. Comparison with last week finds the .stock market generally higher. Evident ly he, forced liquidation due tothe call ing of loans has exhausted Itself.- The demand has not extended far beyond the ranks of professional, bears, who were .short of stocks and who saw no Imme diate prospect of much further decline in prices. The beginning of the week saw the pressure upon the money market still In force, but this was apparently due to the special' exigency of the Standard Oil dividend payment. With the disburse ment of this sum the money market be came appreciably easier. It was considered encouraging that the absorption' of funds by, the sub-treasury was on a much, smaller scale than for some time. .This Is really the result of the lessened pressure for Interior points upon New-York r'f or, money. The Govern ment's fiscal operations, as a whole, have shown a running deficit from day to day for the whole current month. Tho fact that practically all customs duties are payable in New . York , always has the effect of congesting the Government's re quirements upon the New York money market "But for some time past It has also been the practice of interior banks to arrange internal revenue eavments due at Interior points' by drafts on tlfelr New York correspondents, payable to the New York, sub-treasury. Tho result has been. to replenish, the Interior circu lation at, the expense of New York in pre cisely the same' way as though shipments oi currency were being made from day io aay rrom jew. iorK. The money pinch bere hasjchec'ked this form of en croachment upon bank reserves along with others. It" Is noticeable, however. ,uiat,. wun an easing or the monev rate. there is a prompt check to the movement of funds to New York. This is especially perceptible In the foreign exchange mar- Ker,. in..rnich the offerings of bankers' loan ollls have entirely ceased. Last week the .market was flooded with this class of exchange. Compared with the iow point ior aemana sterling on Monday 'of last week, there has been recovery this week of more than a ceafc The ratification of the Panama Canal treaty by .the Senate", although -action re mains to be taken by the Colombian Leg islature, Is believed to give sufficient basis ior me taxing or active steps to provide for the $50,000,000 payable by the terms of the treaty. The .large tie-up of capital m unmarketable securities causes' a ten dency to liquidate in stocks with an ac tive -market in order to protect holdings tnus readily marketable. Another chill ing influence on speculation is the con test between the Keehe and. Harriman In terests. From the . purely stock market standpoint, operators are convinced that nothing but harm can come to the mar ket as a whole, however the contest is decided. Certainly the financial world would not view, with equanimity the over throw of the Union Pacific control of Southern ' Pacific On the other hand. mere is some apprehension over the no sltlon of a pool which Is commonly sup posed to hold 400,000 shares of Southern Pacific at an average cost price of 71. No interest attached to the report of the Uoal btrike Commission. The bond market during the week fluc tuated In .sympathy with the course of the stock market, but displayed a better undercurrent of steadiness. United States 4s and -the 5s advanced "4 per cent as compared with the closing call of last week.

NEW YORK, March 2L The Financier says this week: v The striking feature of the official state ment of the New York Associated Banks last week was a .further important loan contraction, following that which has been in progress since the maximum rec ord was reached on February 21, and as the result of such contraction a decided decrease in deposits, through which the reserve requirements were lessened, there by enabling the banks, notwithstanding the loss of cash during the week to aug ment the surplus reserve. The loans were decreased last week $12,953,030, making $35, 661,300 since February 2L There was a reduction In cash of Jl. 713,500. or more than was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week. The deposits svera decreased $15,479,600, making $62,535,900 since February 2L The required reserve was reduced $3,569,900. and deducting this sum the $1,713,500 loss of cash, left $2455,405. as the increase in sur plus reserve, carrying this item to $3,1S0, 4WX It is noteworthy that the loans of the banks were $10,855,000 in excess of de posits, against $S.378,400 in the previous week and 23 individual banks, among "which number are those having the larg est capital and surplus, are lending amounts exceeding their deposits. This simply shows conditions peculiar to the situation, and it does not indicate impair ment in any way. This the clearing-house does not recognize in its statement, ex cept Incidentally, the permissible elimina tion of reserve requirements against Gov ernment deposits, and it seems clear that some of the individual banks are taking advantage of the permission given by the Secretary of the Treasury and taking ac count of reserve against public deposits. The indications last week . pointed to a speedy beginning of the return flow of the money to this center from the . in terior. Unices subtreasury operations shall again largely absorb cash from the banks, these institutions may be expected in the near future to show gains in cash and ' a gradual Improvement in reserve' conditions. The-statement of averages of the clearing-house banks of this city for the week was: Decrease. .$911,547,400 $12,953,000 . S00.SS2.400 15.479.600 Loans' Deposits- circulation Legal tenders-....-..

Justice Grantham, in summing up in the Old Bailey previous to sentencing Klosowski. alias Chapman. the Southwark saloonkeeper, to death for the inurder of three women by poisoning, declared that, if the .women had been cremated. Klosowski would never have been" convicted and said tho case served as a warning to those who thought the churchyard should be shut up. These and other Judicial criticisms of cremation have called out a spirited reply from Professor Sir Henry Thompson, the surgeon, who says that. If Judge Grant ham had the .slightest acquaintance with the precautions adopted lni cremation, he would have known that any prisoner en deavoring to get rid of a victim by crema tion' is almost certain to be detected. Sir Henry adds that both here and in France in "every case where a body is offered for cremation, the keenest . Inquiry is made with reference to the possibility of-death being caused by poison." as was fully admitted in the Parliamentary lnqulry- lnto the subject In 1S33. Date of Lone Republican Primaries.

A mother living in Charlestown, Mass., the happy possessor of four children, writes: "Every Fall and Winter I have laid in a stock of cough' remedies, croup mixtures and throat medicines for my children, for somehow or other they never seem to be free from colds, coughs or sore throat. "This Fall I made a change In the usual programme. I had myself been cured of an obstinate catarrh, from which I had suffered for years, by Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets, and as they were pleasant to take I determined to try them with my children. Our family physician told me he knew them to be perfectly safe, and nothing better could be used for catarrh, coughs and colds. "So I gave them to the children, and have continued to do so ever since, when ever there is the least sign of croup or sore throat, and I no longer dread the approach of cold weather as I once did. "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only cured me of chronic nasal and throat catarrh but they have saved me many an anxious night with my little ones. The children like the taste of them, nd it is really wonderful how quickly they will break up a croupy cold or an obstinate, deep seated cough." People who have used sprays, inhalers, salves or washes for catarrh and have found how useless they are, will be agree ably surprised at the results following the use of a pleasant, convenient. Internal remedy In tablet form. Druggists every where admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, which' sell for 50 cents full-sized pack age, is the safest, most effective and pop ular of catarrh medicines.
