r 14 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, MAT 26, 1907. RUMORS DF FLOUR FAMINE ARE FALSE Supply of Wheat on Hand Is Ample for Needs of Pacific Northwest. PRICE RECORDS UNBROKEN Though There Will Be an Advance or 25 Cents Per Barrel Tomorrow, Mark Touched Several Years Ago Will Not Be Keached. There will be an advance of 25 centa a barrel In Portland flour prices to morrow morning. This comes as a natural consequence of the flight of prices In the wheat market here, which in turn was caused by the sharp rise In the Eastern and 'European markets. The primary reason was the poor out look for the wheat crop In most parts of the world. A factor that has helped somewhat In stimulating the Coast wheat markets has been the big de mand for flour for shipment to the Orient, such exports being about 25 per cent larger than In the previous season. This steady Asiatic inquiry has kept grain prices stationary here when they have temporarily fallen elsewhere, while on the other hand most of the advances in the East have been re sponded to in this section. .The heavy requirements of the Ore gon and Washington mills, added to the exports of unground wheat through the customary channels,, have well nigh drained many of the sections of the Pacific Northwest of this cereal, but the total supply has not been exhausted by any means. There will be enough wheat in the three states to make all tho flour that will be needed before the new crop comes on and some to spare. Stories Will Frighten Nobody. Stories of an inpending flour famln. will frighten no one who Is conversant with the situation. These reports are usually started by wholesale grocers or others carrying stocks in an effort to stimulate trade. The prices that will go Into effect . Monday morning are not record prices, : either. Patent flour will sell at 4.80 per barrel wholesale, while a year ago patents were selling in this market at 14.30, but there have been several In stances in the past when the to mark was exceeded and times were not as good as now. The assertion that the flour mills of : the Northwest havd sold so much flour to the Chinese and Japanese that the , people of this country will have to go hungry is foolish when any one con siders that uot export and domestic flour are two separate articles. .What the Asiatic will buy steadily would not be touched by the poorest baker on this side of the Pacitte Besides, the more "clears" that can be ground out of wheat for the foreigners, the more "patents" for home use. California Loses Grip. More flour has been shipped from Port land and the Puget Sound ports this sea son than last, largely because the Orien tal trade has centered in these states. In the previous season California did a big share of this business and bought the - wheat in this section to do it with. Now i the Portland and Sound mills have the trade direct. Up to date the exports for the crop season from Oregon and Washington have been 3,444.136 barrels of flour. In the cor responding time last year the exports were 2.992.404 barrels. Since the present crop came on the market California millers have bought 645,305 bushels of Oregon. Washington and Idaho wheat. A year aisro. when they had some hold on the .. trans-Paciflo trade, they bought 4.166,43s ; bushels. This explains why the North t west's flour shipping trade has grown. The millers naturally resent the Idea that they have robbed the home consumers of necesaary supplies in order to feed the ; coolies on the Asiatic coast. An official of the Portland Flouring Mills Company said yesterday: Millmcn Denies Canard. "No one need be frightened by any fool ish stories of a flour famine in Portland or anywhere else in the Northwest. . There will be plenty of flour for everybody up to the time that the new wheat crop is available." There is a wide difference of opinion among wheat merchants as to how much wheat is left in the Pacific Northwest un sold. Some place it at over 6,000,000 bush els and others at considerably less than '"1.000,000. The stocks that are left in the country, however, are largely lit second hands. The movement to tidewater now Is very brisk and the remaining supplies will come forward about as fast as '. wanted. There are something like 200,000 bushels remaining to be moved on the Snake River and in some parts of the Palouse country there are considerable stocks in ware houses'. . STRIKE VIOLENCE SPREADS Car Attacked in Many Districts of the Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. Considerable violence, but! of a minor 'character,'" at tended the operation ' of cars by .the United Railroads today.' Instead of be ing confined to the district south of Mar ket street, which has been the center of. demonstrations, against cars and dis turbances by union sympathizers since the lines in that part of the . city were opened, stoning of cars and assaults upon the strike-breaking employes were re ported by the company to have occurred today in many other sections of the city. Some of the cars returning to the barns bore evidence of well-aimed fusillades of bricks. and other missiles. Owing to the obstructive tactics pur sued by union sympathizers in the Po trero district, where barricades of cobble stones, barrels, lumber, bricks and other debris were built across the tracks, . and cement placed on the rails causing the derailment of cars, the Kentucky and Eighteenth street lines were abandoned after, one trip had been made over them. A number of assaults were reported by the "United Railroads, but none was of a serious nature. About the" same number of ears were operated today as yesterday. A force of 100 additional strike-breakers from Chi cago were brought into the city late to night by the "United Railroads. STRIKE, AGAINST PIECE WORK Erie Machinists Go Out 'fend General S'truggle Impends. '-j NEW YORK, May 25. The 3O00 ma chinists and helpers along the Erie Kailroad between New York and Chi uo were called on strike yesterday. for an Increase in pay and for the abo lition of piece work system. " This strike, it was declared In labor circles here last- night, would be followed on June 1 by a strike of 16,000 machinists In Greater New York and vicinity in the general demand for an eight-hour work day. . The strike is only the first step in a general strike of machinists against railroads where the "piece work" plan la in vogue. Determination not to con cede that the piece plan be abolished, was expressed at the Erie offices to day. The Erie employs 900 machinists, of whom TOO have gone on strike. CLEVELAND, May 25. Following close upon the announcement by the union machinists that they would strike June 3, the employers are dis charging hundreds of machinists from various shops. The union men retal iated by -ailing out the men at two of the largest shops. This action of the employers has precipitated a crisis and about 3700 men will be either locked out or go on strike by tonight. More than 100 had been discharged up to this afternoon. BAY CITY WILL HAVE BEER Threatened Strike In Breweries. Is Averted by Agreement. . . SAN FRANCISCO. May 25. The threatened beer famine in San Fran cisco as a result of the strike of 700 brewery workers a "week igo. has been averted by the action of the striking brewery empleyes in reaching a com promise with their employers. The wagon-drivers have accepted a reduc tion of half an hour a day. Instead of one hour,-as demanded. The brewery workers, who demanded an increase of W a day, have practically agreed to ac cept E0 cents, and the bottlers were voluntarily given an increase of 25 cents a day. The unions will meet tomorrow morning to consider andratify this promise, and it is believer that all the breweries will be in full operation Monday morning. , Strikers Injured in Riot. NEW YORK, May 25. A dozen or more persons were Injured today in a serious riot of longshoremen. The trouble start ed outside the South Brooklyn docks, where negro strlkerbreakers have been employed. As they left today they marched through the Italian quarter sing ing. A shot was fired from a second story window; scores of Italian strikers rushed from saloons and houses and im mediately there was a general riot, which was quelled only when the police re serves took a hand. Will Tie Vp Lake Shipyards. CLEVELAND, May 25. Grand Or ganizer Murtaugh of the striking ship builders, said today that all carpenters, painters and allied trades unionists will walk out of the American Ship building yards next Wednesday. On Thursday, he says, the ship metal workers will leave, emptying the yards of union labor. Streetcar Strike Settled. EVANSVILLE. Ind., May 25. The streetcar strike which has been on in this city for ten days was settled tonight. The men will return to work tomorrow morning. The strikebreakers are leav ing tonight. Both sides made' conces sions. Ethel Barrymore 111. CHICAGO, May 25. Ethel Barrymore is seriously ill at the Auditorium Hotel, and the "Captain Jinks" company will remain here until she recovers. AUTD IS STRUCK BY T OXE KILLED, TWO INJURED, NEAR PASADENA. Chauffeur Becomes Confused and Steers Car Directly Into Engine Approaching at High Speed. LOS ANGELES, May 25. As the re sult of a collision between a Yueavy touring car and the engine of the Santa Fe limited Just before 7 o'clock, Walter Foster, of Minneapolis, a guest of the Alexandria, is dead. Miss Gene vieve Hart, his companion on the ride, is unconscious and seriously injured, and Carl Wold, the chauffeur, is in a Pasadena hospital, with a broken arm and other severe Injuries. The accident occurred at Lamanda Park, four miles east of Pasadena. Foster and his companion had visited Monrovia and at 6:50 P. M. reached the Santa Fe crossing. The approaching train was invisible to the chauffeur because of Intervening trees and nouses. When almost on the track. Wold saw the train and apparently became con fused. Ho turned the automobile al most directly toward the engine, which was running at about 40 miles an hour. As tho big machine was struck all three were thrown out and the big au tomobile was ground to fragments.... The three victims were taken to a Pasadena hospital, where Foster died shortly after 11 o'clock tonight. Foster arrived in this. city two days ago aiid little can be learned of his connections. - Ward Leaves Poorf arm. . James Barton Ward, the alleged half brother t o the "late - General Lew Wallace, has grown weary of his berth at the County poorfarm, and yesterday accepted a position as office assistant to Dr. Simpson of this city. As the result of the publicity Ward secured in the announcement of his past, numerous letters poured in upon htm at the poorfarm, one from a lady who is writing a book and wanted Ward to come and work for - her, and help her "think." Ward still - asserts he is re lated to the famous author of "Ben Hur" and claims he was disowned on account of his poverty and misfortune. By the officials at the poorfarm he was found congenial and ' talkative. While the man's story may not be true, he has had an interesting 'career. He is well edu cated, a linguist of note, and a brilliant conversationalist. Non-Smokers Thank Fuller. since a general order prohibiting smoking has been posted on the Portland streetcars, letters of appreciation from women pas sengers have been pouring in on General Manager Fuller. One received yesterday expressed the desire to thank him for stopping the smoke nuisance and making it more pleasant for passengers who dis like the smell of tobacco to ride on the city cars. As yet there have been no let ters received filing objections to the abatement of smoking on rear platforms. Reviews Spokane Rate Case. A review of the Spokane rate case has been Issued in pamphlet form by the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and is being distributed to those interested in the case. The pamphlet was'wrftten by'J. N. Teal, counsel for the transportation committee, and ' Mr. Teal ; goes rather deeply into the question. The article is reprinted from the May issue of tho Chamber of Commerce Bulletin, T TOTAL LOSS Portland , Mattress Factory Burns to Ground. COST OF BLAZE $30,000 Three Firemen Narrowly Escape Death, Fighting Early Morning Fire That Is With Difficulty Kept From Spreading. I Fire that broke out at 1:50 o'clock this morning destroyed the factory of the Portland Mattress Manufacturing Com pany, at North Eighteenth and Front streets, together with all its contents. The loss on stock and machinery is about $30,000, and on the building about $15,000. The blaze was one of the most stub born with which the Fire Department has had to contend In many, months. Before the flames were discovered they had gained much headway, and the firefight ers were powerless to do more than pre vent the spread of the flames to adjoining buildings. The origin of the fire is a mystery, and the two watchmen' who were employed about the factory are unable to explain It. The flames shooting up from the doomed building lit up the sky in the north end of the city and drew a large crowd of spectators, who were kept back from the flames by the efforts of Patrol men Edgerton, Tennant, Anderson, Gloss, Abbott and Specials Jack Hoare and Ed Maher. The flames were discovered by Deputy Sheriff Gassett, who turned in an alarm from box No. 16. The department re sponded promptly and soon got Into ac tion. The flreboat George H. Williams fought the flames from the riverfront, and the fire apparatus on shore did splen did work from the Front street side. During the early part of the fight to save the building, three members of the fire department whose names could not be learned, but who are members of Truck Company No. 1, had a narrow es cape from death in the flames. As they mounted a ladder put up in front of the factory, the wall fell In and It was due only to their own activity and the help of their comrades that they escaped with only painful burns. Fred Jennings, one of the proprietors of the factory, estimates the loss to factory and contents at about $30,000 and says that his firm carried but small insurance. The damage to the building, which is owned by James Cook, a Col lumbta. River canneryman, is estimated at about $15,000 and Is said to be fully Insured. . . " LIST OF SIX MILLIONAIRES .(Continued from First Page.) Rogers, "was declined for reasons of celerity, arrangements having been al ready made for surety bonds." Harry Maxwell, local representative of the Metropolitan Surety Company, of New York, appeared for former Judge Druiz, counsel for a New York Company, and Mr. Rogers handed to Judge Coffey, Ef separate bonds for $10,000 each. Mr.. Schleslnger appeared for Theodore V. Halsey, of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company, and said that Halsey's bond of $10,000 would be ready at 4 o'clock P. M. District Attorney Langdon said that that would be satis factory and Judge Coffey gave assurance that no attempt would be made to arrest Halsey in the interim. Judge Coffey said that tho cases against Glass would be assigned to Judge Lawlor's department, where the nine indictments previously returned against Glass are soon to be tried. Mayor Schmitz, accompanied by two of his attorneys, ex-Judge C. H. Falrall and Frank Drew, and by Presl-. dent Tom Williams, of the New California Jockey Club, and President William A. Dlngee, of the Contra Costa Water Com pany, both of the latter millionaires, en tered the courtroom Mr. Fairall offered 16 bonds for $10,000 each, signed personal ly by Williams and Dingey. They were approved by the District Attorney and ac cepted by the court. Judge Coffey assigned the United Rail roads indictments against Schmitz, Ruef, Calhoun, Mullally, Ford and Abbott to Judge Lawlor's department; the two sep arate Indictments against Schmitz to Judge Dunne's department; the two in dictments against Glass to Judge Law lor's department and the Indictment against Halsey to Judge Dunne's depart ment.

COMPLAINT STARTS INQUIRY Federal Attorney to Investigate Jap anese Trouble. SAN FRANCESCO. May' 25. Acting upon instructions received from Washington, United States District Attorney Robert T. Devlin will make a thorough investigation next week Into the attack upon a Japa nese restaurant on FolBom street, in this city, about two weeks ago. Mr. Devlin said tonight that he received a message from Attorney General Bonaparte about 6- o'clock this afternoon, asking him to make an investigation of the Incident and report as soon as possible. Mr. Devlin will commence his inquiry next Monday and will examine everybody who has any knowledge of the affair. A separate investigation will be made by Governor Gil let t The latter said tonight that he had heard nothing of any vio lence having been committed lately against Japanese. The Incident was regarded as so Insig nificant that it attracted no attention or comment and the fact that this alleged trivial affair haa been made the subject of representation by the Japanese Gov ernment caused much surprise here. CROWD CHARGED BY TIGER (Continued from First Page.) waiting for the attack with his revolver reloaded, but the beast had enough, rolled over, snarling and bitting at his wounds, and expired in a few moments. Meanwhile, the news that the tiger had escaped' was noised about and spectators continued to flee from, the tents. Many of them fell or were knocked down in the confusion, but none sustained serious In juries. Mrs. Rozell and her daughter were taken to the office of a physician, where everything possible was done for the child. It was found that the teeth of the tiger had frightfully lacerated the neck and breast of the little one and much blood was lost before the wounds could be closed. The little girl died two hours later. - Mrs. Rozell is reported to be shaken up badly, but was otherwise unhurt. Was Monarch of Jungle. "Markel" was reputed to be one of the largest tigers on exhibition and was the pride of the menagerie. He had shown no previous signs of ill temper and the management of the circus was dumb founded over his behavior. There was no demonstration against the management because of the unfortunate occurrence. Many thought that the door of the tiger's cage might have been more secure, but the -keepers were helpless on account of the confusion, and had it not been for Bell's prompt action In risking an encoun ter with the angry tiger more lives might have been sacrificed. Bell's aim was good, as was shown w,hen the tiger was skinned and six wounds, any one of which might have been fatal, were found In the carcass. The father of the tiger'a victim is en gaged in the transfer business and is highly respected. ' Hundreds crowded around the doors of the doctor's office from the time the little girl was brought In until the report of her death was an nounced, .but there was no loud talk or harsh expressions.

Although the contract for the pav ing of Grand avenue between East Oak street and Sullivan's Gulch was let some time ago. nothing yet has been done toward starting work." The contraoting firm says that it Is waiting for the electric railway com pany to lay the heavy rails that are re quired where hard surface pavement Is laid on a Btreet. The railway company is doing nothing toward laying these rails, and this prevents the paving of the street. . For over a year there have been delays of various kinds In this im provement until the patience of the pubiio Is nearly exhausted. Grand avenue is an important street and these delays are serious to the business men along the street. It was expected that Grand ave nue would be paved by the time the bridge over Sullivan's Gulch was com pleted, but it now is evident that the bridge will be finished before the im provement of the street is even started. Councilman Bennett has endeavored to get something done, but only promises and excuses have been the result. Morrow Saloonmen Pay Fines. HEPPNER, Or.. May ' 25. in the Cir cuit Court for this county, two givlng-liquor-to-mlnors and two gambling cases were brought to trial. In all four charges the defendants pleaded guilty and were sentenced to pay fines by Judge Bean. Frank Carr, a minor, was fined $50 for being in a saloon and buying liquor and for telling the saloon keeper that he was 21 years old in order to obtain liquor. Tom Brlerly, a saloon keeper of Iowa, was fined $50 for selling liquor to a minor. Fred MoCarter-and Harvey Newton. proprietors of the Brewery saloon of this city, were each fined $50 for gambling and allowing gambling in their places of business. CARD OF THANKS.

Davis, 29 on ballot, stands for progress and a greater Portland. SHOWS UP ITS CASE (Continued from First Page.) money for a Hying. Mr. Crow was al most immediately challenged by the de fense, but his appearance, however brief, lifted the case one challenge forward. The defense also challenged John Whit lock today, and the state challenged George Mclntyre. The vacancy created by the 16th chal lenge is still unfilled, there are four chal lenges unexpended and there are 12 tales men of the second special venire left un examined. ... The pay-streak ran out be fore the day was over and unless there Is mighty good luck with the little squad of unused talesmen there will have to be another adjournment some time on Monday and a third special venire. The long strain of Jury-getting seems to be showing on the nerves of those who are doing the work. Today, when the state challenged a talesman for bias, Mr. Richardson remarked that the state had tried hard enough to qualify him. James H. Hawley took serious offense at the re mark and eald that it was untrue and asked for the protection of the court, saying that things were going to be dif ferent from now on. Judge Wood told him to sit down, but the order had to be repeated before it was obeyed. The court continues to stiffen against the release of talesmen on excuses light and frivolous. Today Judge Wood took a hand In the examination of every tales man and made sure of the existence of disqualification before acceding to It. At the opening of the trial Judge Wood granted the state permission to Indorse the names of several additional witnesses on the Indictment against the accused miners, the defense noting an exception under a decision of the Idaho Supreme Court, which held that the filing of addi tional witnesses after a trial has 'begun is error without prejudice. Mr. Richard son declared that the defense had been unable to locate many of the witnesses for the state, and had been informed by counsel for the state that they did not know the addresses of many of theeir own witnesses.. If surprises should develop from the testimony of these' unlocated witnesses, Mr. Richardson said, a delay might be looked for. APPROVES GOODING'S STAND Governor of Utah Indorses Fight for Law and Order. BOISE. Idaho. May 25. (Special.) Gov ernor Frank R. Gooding, of Idaho, was given a magnificent indorsement by Gov ernor John C. Cutler, of Utah, at a din ner given this morning by C. A. Qulgley, one of the board of governors of the Salt Lake Commercial Club that today visited this city. About 50 guests were present. Including a large number of rep resentatives of the various interests of Boise and a majority of the visiting clubmen. Mr, Quigley acted as toast roaster and a number of speakers were called upon in short and happy Introduc tions. " One of the best toasts of the evening was that to the Governor of Idaho, pro posed by Mr. Quigley. Mr. Cutler re sponded. He spoke in a most apprecia tive vein of the resources of the State of Idaho. After some pleasant and Jocu lar remarks the Governor of Utah be came' serious and addressed himself to the issue at present occupying the atten tion of the people of Idaho in the trial now going on In the District Court. Mr. Cutler said that the people of Utah Indorsed without qualification the stand taken by the Governor and the people of Idaho in the cause of law and order. He said: "I desire to say at this time that I in dorse in every particular the stand taken by the Governor of Idaho in the great Issue now before ..the people of this state. I mean that of law and order. Should I at any time be placed in a like position, 1 trust that I may have the strength to take a stand as courageous as that taken by the Governor of this state." .
