CAPTAIN BATCHELOR UNDER ARREST Sailor Boardlosr - Home Keeper Want $5O0O Dannffci far Flae Arreat in. Police Court. Captain Robert A. Batchelora of the British ship Cedarbank, was arrested yes terday afternoon as a result of a dam age suit for $5000, filed against him. in the State Circuit Court by Peter Grant, of the firm of Sullivan, Grant Bros. & McCarron, sailor boarding-house keepers. The warrant was served on the captain by Deputy Sheriff Gunderson, in the of fice of British Consul James Laldlaw. The action Is the outcome of the recent arrest of Grant on a charge of unlawfully boarding the ship Cedarbank, on a com plaint sworn to by the master of the vessel. In Metalling -what occurred at that time, Grant In his complaint for dam ages avers that on August 10 the de fendant, Robert A. Batchelor, went be fore Municipal Judge Cameron and then and there maliciously and without prob able cause swore to a complaint charging the plaintiff with the crime of boarding a ship in the Willamette River, contrary to the statutes made and provided. It Is alleged further by Grant that he was arrested on the warrant and deprived of his liberty, and to obtain his release he was obliged to deposit $100 ball: also that on August 13, in the Municipal Court, the complaint was dismissed on motion of the District Attorney. Grant says he was. damaged In his good name, and had the indignity of the arrest placed upon him, and that the matter was extensive ly advertised, to his detriment. Accompanying the complaint is an am flavit stating that Captain Batchelor is about to leave Portland, and asking that he be detained by legal process. Clerk of the Circuit Court J. P. Kennedy issued the warrant, which is provided for by statute as follows: "No person shall be arrested in an action at law, except as provided In this section. The defendant may be arrested in the following cases: "In an action for the recovery of money or damages on a cause of action arising out of a contract, when the defendant is not a resldont of this state, or is about to remove therefrom, or where the action Is for Injury to the persons or character," etc. The writ of arrest shall be issued by the Clerk, and shall require the Sheriff of any county where the defendant may be found, forthwith to arrest him and hold him to ball in the amount specified In the undertaking, and in default there of he shall keep him in custody until discharged by law." Henry E. McGinn appears as attorney for the plaintiff. Captain Batchelor, Immediately after being taken into custody, consulted his counsel, "Williams, "Wood & Llnthlcum, for the purpose of obtaining bonds. He expressed himself freely concerning the affair, saying he was being harassed and annoyed because he managed to get his chip away without paying tribute to "the sailor boarding-house men. He stated that he held all of his crew but three, who deserted, and replaced two "of the deserters, and could probably get the de serters back if the men were left to them selves. His ship left down the river yes terday morning, and anchored at Rainier. She will proceed to Astoria and wait ror him to Join her. Concerning the arrest of Peter Grant, Captain Batchelor said a man came aboard of his ship trying to entice the sailors to leave. He was told it was Peter Grant, and he subsequently caused the arrest of Grant. "When he saw Grant In the Municipal Court, he at once noticed that Grant was not the man who had boarded the ship, and admitted the fact, and Grant was released. Later on ho was informed that the man who came on the ship was Steve Drummond, who Is In Grant's employ. He did not have Drummond arrested. The captain ex. plained that ho retained his men on the vessel by means of watchmen. One of the watchmen got drunk, and he appointed the mate in his place. The three sail ors who abandoned the ship were ar rested at the Instigation of the master as deserters, and they petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus. The case was set for hearing In the United States Court for tomorrow, and the captain has been held here on that account. He was not prepared for further trouble, and was astonished when he was taken Into cus tody by the officer. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. After Routine Business, They Dls casupd Street Improvements.

Zlon's German Lutheran Church was granted permission to use Holladay Park for services next Sunday afternoon. The Council, .at its last meeting, author ized the purchase of settees for the plaza blocks. This ipatter was referred to the committee of the board on purchase of city supplies. There was a general discussion by the members of the Board as to the best manner of building and improving streets. The members of the board have carefully investigated the various improvements now In progress all over the city, and acquired valuable knowledge along these lines". While the best quality is being studied, the members are also consider ing the best interests of the people and present emergencies. They hope to do rive information that will enable them to meet Immediate demands and yet give results that will be of a p-jrmanent char acter. The city owned a quantity of water pipe, which was stored at the City Parse The water committee was authorized to use enough of this pipe to make the necessary connections with the David P. Thompson fountain, between the plaza blocks. HEEDED AK EARLY START. Why Portland Did Not Secure Eighth Corps Reunion. General Owen Summers has returned from Denver, where he attended the con vention of the Eighth Army Corps Vet erans, as the representative of Oregon. He reports that there were about 1000 soldiers present during the encampment, the number including such names as Gen erals Hale, ilerriam and Green, Colonel Pope, Quartermaster-General on General Otis' staff, and Colonel Metcalf, who succeeded General Funston as command ing officer of the First Kansas. A very pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Gen eral Summers speaks cordially of the ef forts made by Denver citizens to enter tain the visiting soldiers. ' Every door was thrown open to them in such hearty manner that the soldiers were reminded of Honolulu's reception to the flrst ex peditionary force to the Philippines. Had plans been perfected previously. General Summers states that he could have secured the encampment of the Eighth Army Corps Veterans next year in Portland. As It was. Major Grant, formerly of the Utah Light Artillery, eagerly championed Salt Lake City.. The city is centrally located,, splendidly adapted to large gatherings, and an Ideal place ior a bummer meeting, nut uen eral Summers says these arguments would have yielded to the claims Port land could have advanced, had arrange ments been made beforehand for pressing Oregon to the front. The Oregon troops were among the very flrst to reach the Philippines, the flrst to land, the flrst inside Manila, and1 the flrst returned when the volunteer forces were supplanted by the regulars. "With the adjective "first" so frequently used In designating Oregon's soldiers, It seemed to have been conceded that this state was entitled to either the first or one of the flrst en campments. General Summers now be lieves it better to not press Oregon's claims until later. The organization Is not thorough yet, and encampments naturally are not so large as they will be later, when most of the 125,000 soldiers eligible have been enrolled. One of the handicaps Denver suffered this year was rates. Advantages given other conventions were not .granted the soldiers encampment. 8alt Lake will commence earlier. In fact, has com menced, to secure about a J35 round-trip fare for the Northwest. Fully 7C00 mem bers are expeqted to bo present next year, and encampmonts thereafter will be con siderable events. Then, too. It is the opinion of General Summers, Is the time for Portland to lay plans to secure one. GRANTED A REHEARING. Judffe Frater Will Pass on Those 18 Ballots In Precln6t 42. Judge Frazer yesterday granted the motion for rehearing in the election con test of "William Schmeer vs. F. B. Hol brook, and will examine and pass upon the IS alleged suspicious ballots counted for Holbrook In precinct No. 42, on "Wednesday, August 23. By direction of the court, the attorneys for Schmeer were some time ago per mitted to have an expert Inspect the bal lots cast for Holbrook, In this precinct, which previously were passed unchal lenged. The expert, J. A. "Wesco, se lected. IS ballots, In which he was of the opinion that the mark opposite the name of Holbrook was not quite the same as the other crosses on the ballots. The court on next "Wednesday will state Its views regarding them. These ballots were put asye, and are in the custody of Clerk of the County Court H. H. Holmes. "When the matter came up yesterday the attorney for Schmeer alluded, as he has done on previous occasions, to the evidence of fraud. N. D. Simon, attorney for Holbropk, ar gued that it has -not been shown that Mr. "Wesco ever acted as an expert In any other part of the state, nor that he was qualified, "While he might be a good penman, he probably could not tell if the marks on the ballots were legally put there or not. "When the court decided to allow the motion for a rehearing, Mr. Simon re quested that the time be fixed one week hence, as by that time his partner, J. V. Beach, who was familiar, with the pro- and could be present.

Ho Will Speak In Portland Twice Next Sunday Total Abstinence on the Increase. The well-kiown Independent, temper ance apostle, Francis Murphy, of, Pitts burg, Is In Portland. Mr. Murphy has International fame in this cause. AH over the United Kingdom and the United States he has traveled for the past 30; j ears In one unceasing fight against m temperance. He calmly views the situa tion, and with deliberate, business philos ophy says civilization is forcing temper ance upon the people. Commerce In ,eyery form demand it. While optimistic, the great speaker Is not inactive. In the Redeemer's name is the flght to be won, he says, and this silvery veteran of 30 long years of hard work still merrily goes forth Into strange 'lands, accompanied by his wife, with enough energy and vigor to vivify a half-dozen ordinary men. -,-. Mr. Murphy has been traveling through Montana and "Washington, which states he terms Nature's divine sanitariums. Pure, clear water, Invigorating atmos phere, and a delightful temperature com bine for man's pleasure there, and he cbmes through much Improved in health. Sunday he will speak twice, first at the morning service of the Gracei Methodist Church, to which he has been invited by Rev. "H. D. Atchison. In the evening" Mr. Murphy will speak In the, Taylor Street Methodist Church, to which he has been cordially invited by the pastorfill Ing the pulpit, In Dr. Kellogg' s( absence. While Dr. Gue, presiding -elder of this conference was In Chicago, he me Mr. Murphy and extended to him a,very cordial Invitation to stop overhere while passing through. It was partly upon tills request and partly because of trie pleasant memories entertained"; by Mr. Murphy of his visit here nine years ago that he will appear In the local pulpits Sunday. At his former visit the churches, Toung ; Men's Christian Association and "Woman's Christian Temperance Union combined to hold forth the Inducement and joined In the preliminary -work of getting up big meetings. Good results were had, and many men were assisted to do right. From here Mr. Murphy will go to San Francisco, and If the bubonic plague In Australia has abated sufficiently for the holding of meetings there, will sail to that island. This was his destination when he started "West. "I am root and ground in the belief," said the great temperance apostle last evening, "that the gospel of the "World Redeemer, which Is the gospel of the brotherhood of man. Is the great remedy for the sins of mankind. Civilization Is making all of us sober. Great corpor ations Insist upon their employes being abstemious, and many of them Insist upon absolute abstinence. The street-car' sys tems of this country are-great advocates of sobriety. A man who Is a conductor or motorman on a car belonging to? one of these companies must remain sober. In the City of Pittsburg, where T- live when at home, we have 6000 or 7000 street car men, conductors and motormen. Christopher McGeo Is president of the largest of these systems in this great industrial center. He insists that every man in his employ shall be a total ab stainer, not simply when on duty but. when off. Mr. McGee sets the example himself. It requires a man to be at his very best when handling the lives of his fellow-men, and he cannot be If his mind Is befuddled with drink." Mr. Murohy ha3 two sons engaged In the same work as himself. One is-"Thomas E. Murphy, and the other "William J. Murphy. They have been engaged In the work for 20 years. Thomas E. trav eled to England, Scotland and Ireland with his father, where they were engaged In starting the great wave that swept over those countries several years ago. Owners of public houses feltv the de crease of patronage and complained. Mr. Gladstone said that when It was evident that savings In the postal banks all over England were increasing in proportion to the decrease In liquor revenues, the country could afford to sustain the loss. If any there be. Mr. Spurgeon and Canon "Wllberforce took the platform with the temperance men. It was said that 13.000 signed the pledge at the solicita tion of Thomas E. Murphy, and that as a result of the great wave. 5.000,000 people in the United Kingdom were moved to do the same. - . . , Municipal Conrt.

It cannot be said that the effort to or ganize fruit producers of Oregon and "Washington has been a total failure this year, notwithstanding the small crop of Italian" prunes. Work of securing 75 per cent of the prunegrowers of Oregon and "Washington was hopeful when frost re duced .the yield. For a time after that there was little talk of organizing this year, as tnere would De ntue iruit to handle. But gradually and slowly local organizations have come Into existence until seven are now In fair shape. One of these is In Clark County, "Washlng- i ton, and the others are In Oregon. These subordinate or local organizations have a sort of confederacy or general organi zation, with office at Salem. J. (F. Fletcher, of Clark County, is president. The local organizations are largely co operative in their scope, so far as sale of fruit is concerned. There Is nothing compulsory, like the binding contracts contemplated when the Cured Fruit As sociation of the Pacific Northwest was discussed last Spring. Local growers simply pool their crops and place' all Id the hands of one person, so that sales In larger quantities, may be-effected, and also that buyers need visit but one man to get all th6 Information concerning the product of a community. Some arrange ments are made as to grading prunes, but such vary In different local organi zations, and are not strict. The general organization has but little more power than a commission concern engaged to sell fruit. "Wherever a local organization desires to entrust It with dried prunes, the trust will be accepted and the. fruit sold to best advantage at a commission of 2 per cent If a local association has enough prunes to warrant and desire -their product graded, this will bo done by the general association. Grading will' be in connection with pack ing. and'the general association will then stamp the goods with the association label.' This expense of gra'dlng Is cov ered In the commission charged, for sale of, thfrxfit by the general organization, Thegreatest benefit expected from the temporary .organization this year is the training of growers to act harmoniously together. -There are not enough prunes to justify.? thorough organization. But as the growers., of Oregon and "Washington haveeyef hiid much experience In or ganised jsyorltlt Is 'hoped by those inter estedVtJjat Khelr experience of this sea son, will, educate them up to that state where yn organization patterned after that 'existing In California will be practicable..-. ' t A GtfA. RM;EN ON BRYAN. Portland Members Think He Is Rot Entitled ,to Be at Encampment. Among local members of the Grand Army'i'of the Republic there has been some discussion of the Invitation ex tended to "W. J. Bryan to attend the Na tional encampnjent "at Chicago this year. The announced action of the Phlladel phlaposts to refrain from sending dele gates because of the Invitation, meets with expressed sympathy in some quar ters here. It Is unlikely that any of the local delegates will go so far as to re main away because of the Invitation, but more than one "with Republican political f views condemns what seems to them the Introduction of politics 'into the encamp ment. It is too late for any general ac tion to be taken now. If posts were in tending to act In concert, they would not have time now. The sentiments of General G. B. Caukln. a prominent member of the association and formerly department commander, are in harmony with many expressions heard. "I appreciate the reasons actuating the Philadelphia, posts," said he yesterday. "President Meltinley should be invited, as the Chief Executive of the Nation. Ha is also4 entitled, as an old soldier and member of the G. A. R., to;be present wnnout invitation. Mr. Bryan is not an old soldier. Is not a member of the G. A. R., - and ..there are no reasons why he should he -Invited. He has become notorious simply as a candidate of a po litical party, for the office of President. To every one It seems his Invitation Is merely politics, which la foreign to the purposes of the G. A. R. I do not know 'what - the Oregon delegates will do. I have not heard them say."

Same Old Problem of Elevated Bond . ways Soldiers' and Sailors' As sociation Reunion. City Engineer Chase made a personal Inspection of the East Side district yes terday, where there are so many street improvements under way and in pros pect. Mr. Chase says the East Side is moving ahead rapidly along the lino of street work. Some difficulty Is being ex perienced "Witt the improvements in Up per Alblna, wliere about 10,000 feet of street worl? s under contract and pro gressing, but thorough adherence to the letter and f plrlt of all the contracts will bo required. Ths Is a business adminis tration, and the best material Is required, and therels no use of a contractor tr Ing to evade the requirements. Mr. Chase Id well pleased With both East Alder and East Tenth streets Improvements., and regards, them as a fine class of work. They are long Improvements through well settled residence districts. The several prospective street Improve ments are also long ones. That of East Taylor, East Fifteenth,, East Twenty eighth and East Schuyler aggregates over 50 blocks of 200 feet each, besides the intersections of 60 feet each. With East Tenth, East Taylor, Mississippi avenue and the street work in progress In Upper Alblna, between Williams avenue and East Seventh streets, there are over 1C0 blocks of .permanent new streets on the East Side. In Stephens' addition, East Grant and East Twelfth streets are to be Improved, which will swell the total when under way. The engineer regardJ the showing as' very encouraging. The problem, however, Is in connection with some of the elevated roadways on the East Side, especially with East Water street. Mr. Chase thinks that this street should be filled as 'soon as possible. However, he does not expect It to bo done until the substructure has to be replaced. The piles and timbers, outside of the decking, are new and will last a long time. It costs considerable now to keep the decking in a safe condition. Patches are required every day, but thl3 cannot be 'continued for an Indefinite pe riod, and the end Is not-far off when this method of treatment will not meet the case. The same condition prevails on Belmont-street roadway. The repair de partment has managed to keep ahead of the holes by constant patching. Second Annual Reunion. The second annual reunion under the auspices of the Multnomah County ex Sailors' and ex-Soldiers' Association will open this afternoon at Hawthorne Park. It is expected that the afternoon exer cises will begin at 1:30. There will be an address of welcome by John E. Mayo, president of the association, when there will be addresses by others. It was ex pected that the opening day would be devoted to the Indian Wars, but owing to the fact that the speakers cannot be present, the programme will be miscel laneous, but Interesting. In the evening the programme will be attractive to old soldiers. Yesterday Secretary Foss put up a num ber' of tents on the grounds for those who, may want to camp there, and also for the office of the committee of arrange ments. The badges have .been printed and are ready for distribution. Rev. Henry Barden has consented to give two illustrated lectures, both of the Civil War and the Spanish ' War. These will be given Thursdayand Friday nights. Gen eral Compson has been Invited to give his Illustrated lecture on the Battle of Gettysburg one evening during the re union, and Professor M. L. Pratt, of the Williams-avenue school, Is expected to give an Illustrated lecture on Abraham Lincoln. Provision will also be made for Friday, the day set apart for the Second-Oregon Regiment, so there will be an appropriate programme. The tents for campers have been pitched on the west side of Asylum Creek, where there Is ample space both for waprons and horses, and campers will be near the ubBemuiy-gfuunu. il is expected mat quite a -number of campers will be In from Pleasant Home. The committee an nounced that meals would be served to ex-soldiers at 15 cents each. Owing to the fact that everybody Is busy, no one would rjm a restaurant on the grounds, and this cannot bo done.

Mr. Harris has saved the pits from the peaches and will plant them. Home From Circle City. Miss Daisy Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, now of Circle City, has Just arrived from that place, after a month's traveling.
