10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1901. MAY BUILD NEW TUG Joseph Stipple's Low Bid on Government Boat, OTHER COAST CITIES BEATEN German Ship Profcusor Koch Char tered Important RuIInjr Regard ing Shipmasters Cannery Fleet to Load on Clnmuln. The Government has Just opened bids for the construction of a small tug to be used by the United States Engineers' De partment at San Francisco, and, as usual, where an equal show is given them, Port land bidders are the lowest. Mr. Joseph Supple, the East Side boat-builder, suc ceeded in getting in a bid over $1000 un de; the next lowest man on the list. The bids which have been forwarded to Wash ington for approval were as follows: Joseph Supple. Portland 518.S50 Fulton Iron Works. San Francisco.. 19,975 H. P. Christie; San Francisco 20,030 William Deacon. San Francisco 0,445 John B. Hardy. Tacoma 21,500 Sanders, Ward & Co., Tacoma 21.970 United Engine Works. San Francisco 23,500 Seattle Bridge Co., Seattle 2S.200 It will be several days yet before the award will be made, and by the terms of the contract, four months will be given for the completion of the work. Mr. Supple has had 25 years' experience in shipbuilding, and his work in this line gives perfect satisfaction. He has only recently, completed the Sue Elmore, a Meainer somewhat larger than the one for which he has just made a bid, and she Is said to be the best sea-boat that ever ran on the Tillamook route. As no fault has ever been found with his work, and his bid is the lowest, he will un doubtedly secure the contract. San Fran cisco is quite a prominent shipbuilding port. but. Portland builders have sent a great many craft down to the Bay City In past years, and will undoubtedly continue to do so. Timber, iron and fuel is as plentiful, or more plentiful, here than it is in California, and Oregon mechanics and builders are as skillful as any in the world. OREGON' SHIPBUILDING. Ills: Schooner Launched nt Marnh fleld, and Other to Follow. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Feb. 1C The four masted schooner James Sennett was launched today from the ways of the Marshfield shipyard. Her dimensions are as follows: Length of keel, ISO feet; beam. 40 feet: depth of hold, 15 feet 4 inches. Her gross tonnage Is 746. net C92, and she is intended to carry nearly 1,000, 000 feet of lumber. The vessel was built by E. Heukendorff, master builder, for C. A. Hooper & Co., of San Francisco, and her keel was laid September 1, 1900. The citizens of Marshfield raised a purse of ?SO0 for the purpose of putting a roof ever the shipyard, since the completion of which work on the vessel has been prose cuted without regard to the weather. In her construction about 50 men were em ployed at wages ranging from $2 to $4 per day. and the monthly payroll was about $4000, besides the expenditures for tim ber. A duplicate of the vessel Just launched will be built at once in the Marshfield yard. The keel has been ordered, and work will be commenced Monday morn ing by Mr. Heukendorff, preparing the yard for her reception. As soon as she is in frame, the keel of a steam schooner will also be laid. The work will hereaf ter be prosecuted by an Incorporated com pany, of which C. A. Hooper & Co., of San Francisco; C. H. Merchant, a Marsh field capitalist, and E. Heukendorff will be the stockholders. Articles of incorpo ration will be filed Immediately in Cali fornia. It is proposed to push the busi ness of building vessels at this point, which is excellently situated for the work, having an unlimited supply of the finest of ship timber. The first keel, that of the schooner Ivanhoe. was laid in the Marshfield yard In 1SGS. and many ves sels were constructed here in the next 20 yc-ars: but since 1880 the industry has lan guished, until the recent revival in ship ping business gave It a new impetus. The prospects are now good for a long period of activity. PROFESSOR KOCH CHARTERED. German Ship Remained on Free Lint Bnt Forty-elprht Hours. "With 3,500,000 bushels of wheat on spot, there is not much necessity for a ship remaining idle in this port, and the Pro fessor Koch was on the disengaged list only 48 hours after her arrival. She was chartered yesterday at a rate which was withheld from the curious public, but which is said to be about 41s 3d. At this rate her owners will not lose more than $1000 to $1500 through the vessel's failure to arrive on time. The Brunshau sen, which also lost her charter through making such a long trip, is still disen gaged. The arrival of two big ships Sun day helped the exporters out somewhat, and as two more are reported outside, the Brunshausen will not receive a fancy fig ure until ships become" much scarcer than they are at the present time.

Nothing has been learned today respecting the mys tery of the wreck near Pacalalu, and the situation is now more puzzling than ever. A large number of persons believe that the British steamer Lucerne, which was thought to have been the unfortunate vessel, is adrift at sea with a broken shaft. Some think that the wreckage which has been picked up may have been washed from her decks in some of the recent storms. She is now 25 days out. Carnegie's Big: Shipyard. NEW YORK. Feb. 18. The Press says: Another of Andrew Carnegie's dreams is nearing realization. That is the estab lishment here of the greatest shipbuilding yards in the world, right alongside the largest Iron and steel plant ever pro jected.

The men weighed In at 133 pounds. For the first six rounds neither forced mat ters. Then, for four rounds. Kearns took the aggressive and appeared to be punish ing Sullivan with kidney blows and Jabs over the wind. There was little behind the blows, however. At the end of the 11th round Sullivan landed on Kearns at will, punishing 'him severely over the heart and In the face. Twice Sullivan fell, and both times Referee Hurst cau tioned Kearns against what looked like foulsf Kearns striking Sullivan when he was 'on his knee. In the 17th round Kearns was all but out. From the 13th round the result was never in doubt, Sul livan's generalship and science far sur passing that of Kearns. From beginning to end the fight was of the rough-and-tumble order, and the referee was contin uously cautioning them against the tac tics used time and again, each man claim ing a foul, but one of the fighters, was as bad as the other In this respect. Includes All Rough Sport. ST. PAUL, Minn.. Feb. 18.-Governor Van Sandt has been assured by Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis, that the boxing carnival scheduled to occur at the Min neapolis Exposition building will not take place. Mayor Ames Issued an order to tha Chief of Police to prevent the boxing con test. He went even further.

"All athletic ex hibitions," the order continues, "where life or limb are placed in Jeopardy, will not be allowed to take place in the city, and you will see that this order is strict ly enforced."

Out by the Moeser Cold Storage Company. , TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. IS. Mrs. Carrie Nation is now In the County Jail as a result of her trial on a peace warrant be fore Judge Hazen today. The warrant was sworn to by the Moeser Cold-Storage Company, Into whose plant Mrs. Nation entered yesterday morning. Mrs. Nation acted as her own attorney in the trial. Judge Hazen placed her under $2000 bond to keep the peace, and ordered her to ap pear before him at the next term of court. Mrs. Nation refused to give the bond, and said she would go to jail. She is now detained In the hospital-room of the County Jail, where she will probably remain for some time. In the City Court, this morning, argu ments were given In the case brought GERMAN SHIP OTTO GILDEMISTER PROCEEDING IN No further news has been received of the dismasted ship Otto Glldemlstor. which was twice snoken off the California coast within the past three weeks. As she was so close In when last spoken, February rt. It Is believed that some of the tugs already have her In tow, and she will probably arrive at San Francisco today or tomorrow. The above sketch was drawn by W. A. Coulter, the San Francisco Call ma rine artist, from a description given by the master of the schooner Mabel Grey, who spoke her ICO miles south and west of San Franlsco on February 0. against Mrs. Nation by the proprietors of the wrecked Senate saloon. Judge McCabo said he would take the matter under ad visement until Thursday morning. W. I. Jamison appeared for the state to prosecute the case, and J. M. Dumenil for Mrs. Nation. The table between th. two attorneys was piled high with law books and Mrs. Nation's attornev had. besides legal books, many quotations from ! the Bible. Mrs. Nation sat behind her attorney and spent most of her time writ ing upon a small tablet. The argument was commenced by the defense, and Attorney Dumenil. cited many authorities. In speaking of a paral lel to Mrs. Nation's smashing, he said: "It is found In the Bible in the temple. We find by Matthew that Christ entered the temple and abolished that nuisance." He cited the New Hampshire law, which says that the private party abating a nuisance does not have to do It In a man ner best suited to the other party. That means that the liquor does not have to be carefully poured out. The New Hamp shire statute says that public nuisances may be abated by the acts of Individuals. At this point, Mrs. Nation left her seat and opened a window. The cold wind swept in and blew the papers about the courtroom. "Close that window and open It from the top," said Judge McCabe to .Marshal Ross. Mrs. Nation took her seat and Ross closed the lower sash and opened, the top sash. Mrs. Nation rushed back and threw up the lower sash again. "Take your seat," commanded the Judge. "The marshal will take care of the windows." "He didn't do It," snapped Mrs. Na tion. "You sit down and tend to your busi ness and I'll tend to mine," retorted tho Marshal, as he closed the window. Mrs. Nation was surprised. She s in the habit of having her own way, and this was rather a shock to her. She looked at Ross too surprised to say a word. Lawyer Dumenil referred to the New Jersey equity report, which stated that a man had the right to abate a common nui sance without proceeding through the courts, but afterward, if the court found that he had made a .mistake and that the place was not a common nuisance, he could be recovered against. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jamison, a colored lawyer, made the argument for the prosecution. He said the charge of destroying property brougnt against Mrs. Nation does not come under the head of malicious mischief. He argued that the law of destrojing property was the one under which Mrs. Nation was arrested. He held that if Mrs. Nation was not guilty, then every one had a right to do as she did. Judge McCabe said the question was new and Important and entitled to a thorough consideration and he would an nounce a decision Thursday morning. Mrs. Nation received a telegram this afternoon from a manager of a Chicago stock company, offering her $500 per week to play in -a temperance play. She answered: "Not yet, while I got some sense." Everything was quiet here this morning after the excitement of yesterday. Last night there were rumors afloat of more raids to take place during the night and early this morning, but, after a confer ence vlth her comrades last night, Mrs: Nation decided to remain quiet for the present. The Home Defenders are keep ing a close watch on the Joints and drug stores, and should they find any evidence f the prohibitory law being violated, they will continue their attacks. Mrs. Nation made the following statement today: "We desire that we may have the aid and names of all men and women of any color or clime to be of us. Our motive shall be Nehemlah iv:14, 'And I looked and rose up and said unto the nobles and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them; remember the Lord your God which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your, houses.' Which is down with this suplne ness of hell 'nonreslstance' the paralysis Satan Is fusing Into the deluded sons and daughters of God in order that he may sow the tares while they slumber. We have proven that the command of Jesus is the only safe way. 'Resist the devil and he will flee." Nonreslstance, and he Is bold and defiant. "This army of home-defenders declares Its Intent in Its name. We are the fathers and mothers who, as God's host, have come to the help of the Lord against the mighty, and we are -here to withstand all the 'fiery darts of the wicked with the shield of faith. We demand defense, and will have It. No whisky, no tobacco or profanity shall defile our hearthstones. No man or woman who uses any of these defilements shall have or need ask to serve us. We will be your brother to help you to cleanse yourself from the fll thlness of the flesh, but you need our as sistance. We cannot use you In our busi ness until you clean up. We are going to place before the people men and women who must be examples of virtue and strength, who shall serve us to reward good and punish evlL 'Happy Is that peo- pie whose God Is the Lord; yea, happy is that people In such a case.' Kansas shall be free, and we will set her on a hill that her light may go to every dark corner of the earth. 'Come with us and "vre will do thee good, for the Lord hath spok en good concerning such a people.' " Judge Hazen tonight placed Cal Mc Donald, Mrs. Rose Crist and Miss Ade line Southard under peace bonds. The Judge delivered a scathing address to the three Nation leaders. He expressed the opinion that Mrs. Nation is Insane and said those who encouraged her methods of reform ought to be ashamed of them selves. The warrants for the arrest of the three "were sworn out by William Moeser. He has also begun suits for ma licious trespass against Mrs. Nation. Mrs. Crist, Miss Southard. Cal McDonald, Frank Murphy, Dr. Eva Harding, Mrs. A. B. Chadwlck, and Rev. Emerson. Some what of a sensation was produced in the saloon-wreckers' camp when it became known that three of their members had been put under bond, and others were to be sued. Interesting developments are looked for. KANSAS ONLY THE BEGINNING. Mrs. Nation Says the Saloon Has No Right in Any Place. NEW YORK. Feb. 18. Mrs. Carrie Na- tlon, in a letter to the editor of Leslie's Weekly, says: "A saloon has no right In any place. I will smash the saloons In New York. Milwaukee, St. Paul and Chicago, Jusl as In Kansas. But I must clean up my own house before I dare say to my neighbors, 'I can tell you how to clean yours.' "He breaks all the sins of the decalogue who sells a glass of rum. The motive which leads him to put his stumbling block in the way of his brother is in spired by a spirit which violates all law. "The time for the saloon to go has come. We are organizing an army of home-defenders which demands that the murder shop close or be closed by law. Otherwise, we destroy this destroyer by means of anything that will smash. This is a severe word, but nothing can con vey the thought so forcefully as the re sults. This army of home-defenders Is doing Just what Israel did as recorded in II Chronicles, xl:l. Wc attack nothing but that which Is dangerous to humanity and heaven. "This Is one of the greatest warfares not against flesh and blood, but against principle, against spiritual wickedness ness in high places. Are our weapons not against the life, but mighty to the pull ing down of strongholds? Yes, against the Prince of the Power of the Air, which worketh in the children of diso bedience. "We purpose to organize an army of true mothers who are physically able and willing to join in a crusade to drive out the murder shops by destroying their Instruments. We do not desire or intend to Injure the person of anyone. We, In self-defense, go out from our home to the rescue of children who are the vic tims of this traffic." Mrs. Nation and Miss AVlllnrd. CHICAGO, Feb. IS. At memorial serv ices held In honor of Frances E. Wil lard, in the Jefferson Park Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, of Kan City, president of the Missouri Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and record ing secretary of the National Union, mild ly criticised the methods pursued by Car rie Nation In Kansas. She said: "Frances Willard was an optimist. She was so gentle that the destruction of property never occurred to her. If liquor was to have been poured Into the streets as in Kansas a few weeks ago. It would have been done solely by the order of the owner, had Frances Willard had charge of things." Liquor Destroyed nt Lawrence. LAWRENCE, Kan.. Feb. IS. The Wom an's Christian Temperance Union mass meeting of last night was followed this morning by a visit of a number of wom en to the Police Court. There a lot of liquor secured In a raid last Summer was given the women to smash. The women first went to the office of a Justice of the Peace and broke a couple of bot tles of whisky as evidence, and then de stroyed the rest of the stuff in the street. They" were followed by a crowd of sev eral hundred people, but disbanded with out attempting a raid. 'Warning: to a Club. WINFIELD. Kas., Feb. IS. A printed circular, signed "Determined Women," warning the Wlnfleld Commercial Club, has been Issued. It says that men meet at the club "to drink, gamble and hold liquor carnivals" and closes: "If these things are not stopped the den of vice will be demolished and you may prosecute your mothers, wives and daughters If you choose." The saloon-keepers have stored their goods at their houses, and say they will defend it with their lives. Druggists Decide to Quit. HUTCHINSON. Kas.. Feb. 18.

RESTS WITH THE JURY THE HAMILTON MURDER CASE DRAWING TO A CLOSE. The Day Given Up to Arjruments on Both Sides and the Charge of Judge Brooks. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Feb. 18. The last day of the trial of Frank S. Hamil ton on the charge of having murdered Leonard R. Day, caused the courtroom to be filled to Its utmost capacity. The defense announced that it had no testi mony to offer In sur-rebuttal, and County Attorney Fred H. Broadman at once b gan his address to the jury. He declared that it is Just as certain that Hamilton killed Day as it Is certain that Day is dead. The state had shown the motive for the crime, and the confession by the accused of his guilt, and yet with the ablest counsel in the state he now came into court and asked for acquittal, when In savage Jealousy he had stabbed Day to his death.. This was monstrous, but no more monstrous than that the jury CRIPPLED CONDITION. should be asked to stab society on Ham ilton s account. Mr. Penney, for the defense, had gone out of his way to tra duce the character of the victim and to hold the defendant up as a gentleman of education. But the court was appealed to for justice, but not for sympathy. Mr. Broadman adverted to the fact that Hamilton himself, on the stand, did not deny the crime. He did not deny the confession to Spooner. He had come back to the body, sobered by what happened, not to offer a silent prayer with Bennett, but to lay beside the body the bloody knife with which he had done the deed. When Hamilton went out and returned with that open knife clutched In his over coat pocket, he Intended murder, delib erate, premeditated murder. The motive was jealousy. Frank M. Nye. In his address for the defense, declared that with the excep tion of the ready-made confession of the police officer, no testimony had been ad duced that would not have been relevant in an action against any of the others. "The confession would have been the same, with the name changed, no matter who was on trial. Where did this bloody knife come from? There Is not a scin tilla of evidence to trace the ownership to Hamilton. That knife belonged to some one in the West Hotel we have brought forward evidence to trace that It belonged to Day. Hamilton had no motive for injuring Day, but Day did have one for Injuring Hamilton." Judge Brooks gave his charge to the Jury Immediately. It was a clear ex position of the law and the evidence, and was listened to attentively by the Jury, which was then sent out for deliberation. At midnight the jury was still out, ond Judge Brooks left for his home. The verdict. If reached tonight, will not be known until court meets tomorrow morn ing at 9 o'clock. The Kennedy Murder Trial. NEW YORK, Feb. IS. Edward Rey nolds, father of the murdered girl, was called as a witness today In the trial of Dr. S. J. Kennedy, for the killing of "Dol ly" Reynolds in the Grand Hotel, August 15, 1S9S. His evidence was unimportant. Edward Kennedy, secretary of the Frank lin Savings Society, testified that he had seen checks of. the defendant, but failed to recognize the signature "S. J. Ken nedy" on the back of the Dolly Reynolds checks. Mr. Mclntyre then announced that he had one more question he would like to put to Detective Sergeant Carey, who is now returning from Florida with the witness Melville, but otherwise the prosecution rested.

Bent, 25 years of age. shot and mortally wound ed 'his wife at 2424 La Clede avenue at an early hour today and then, kneeling before a mirror, put a bullet through his own head.

Plerpont Mor- STRENGTH TESTS. A Record for UslnK Different Foods. J. Henry Myers, of Otsego, Mich., a traveling representative of a certain med ical missionary association, made some strength tests with different foods, with tho following result. He says: "In 1SS7 I became officially connected with an Institution manufacturing a large line of health foods. "My desire was to add strength. I was in good health, and faithfully lived, al most entirely, for nearly two years, on their foods, and believed in them thor oughly. In January. 1893, my strength test showed 5700 pounds, in January, 1S90. by the same machine, my strength test was only 4560 pounds, a heavy falling off, notwithstantf'nT T had not been sick, but had faithfully and religiously used the foods I so fully believed In and had been hired to lecture for and advocate. "For a month after that test, I was un certain what to do. I felt weak, and what I wanted was strength: so In Feb ruary of tha - I quit all other health foods and began using Grape-Nuts alone. My weight now has increased from 130 to 143 pounds; my strength has Increased from 4560 pounds to 5940 and I am now 1609 pounds stronger, by actual test, than the average man. My eyesight is clearer, my mind more active and stronger, and I can endure more labor, physical and mental, then ever before. "I do not know any person Interested in the Postum Cereal Company, Limited, and this letter is not written with any motive, except to bring honest facts to the attention of persons desiring to live well and live rationally. I have the charts filled out by the physicians at the Inp'"'rtn making the health foods that failed In my case, and these facts cannot be disputed by any one. I will make oath that they are absolutely correct." Mr. Myers letter gives the name in full of the concern making the so-called health foods, which failed in his case, but this name is not given to tho pub lic. It Is not the purpose of the manu facturers of Grape-Nuts to build their business by depreciating the efforts of any competitor. This experience Is printed as an Illustration of tha indisputable fact that Grape-Nuts food Is a true, hon est, and remarkable rebuilder of the hu man body. gan's guarantee to underwrite a new Issue of 30.0CO $10 shares of the British Electric Traction Company Is considered veo sig nificant, according to the Tribune's Lon don correspondent, as marking the formal entry of the powerful Morgan Interests Into England for the purpose of organiz ing gigantic combinations of capital, as in America, The British Electric Traction Company, which was formed with a capi tal of about 510.000,000. to develop electric traction In the United Kingdom, has lines in many English towns, while 3S miles are In course of construction. C- mm. Tnere are 2wHsaN&" never any ex u hT a a ternal signs of iaalEH Cancer until the blood is polluted and the system thoroughly con taminated by this deadly virulent poison. Then a sore or ulcer appears on some ert of the body ; it may be small and rmless looking at first, bnt as the can cerous cells form and are deposited by the blood near the sore, it increases ia size and severity, with sharp shooting pains. No matter how often the sore is removed by the surgeon's knife or flesh destroying plasters, another comes and is worse. The real disease is in the blood, and the treatment must begin there. The poisoned blood must be invigorated and purified, and when this is done cancerous cells can no longer form and the sore will heal naturally and permanently. Mrs. Sarah it.
