THB MCVROTNG OKEGONIAy, SATUKDAY, MAECH 9, 1901. NOW A DEADLOCK Port of Portland Board Un able to Organize. BANFIELD WANTS NEW BLOOD Temporary Chairman Hnprhes Deter mined to Slay In the FIfirht for I'rcxljlcnt, Despite the Opposition. The Port of Portland Commission Is deadlocked. It was unable yesterday to perfect permanent organization. Three ballots were taken for president, result ing each time in a. tie between Ellis G. Hughes and C. F. Adams. The dead lock leaves Mr. Hughes in possession of men they commanded, and the more ad vanced in rank in many Instances had seen service in the war with Mexico. Indeed, the Union soldier? were called "boys," and the last time I met General Sherman he asked me what 1 was driving at; telling him I was a preacher, he smilingly said the "boys" turn out well. I was impressed in looking at the veterans marching at Chicago last Sum mer by their splendid strength. They were In a great measure middle-aged men. with their possibilities, from all states of the Union, where they had pros pered in their various callings. There will be enough of us who followed the flag in the storm of battle to march many times again, and to bear hand on Inaugu ration day to escort a comrade into the Presidential office. We still are "boys," and propose to keep everlastingly young. Do not die us off yet. We grow old no faster than others, and there is nothing pathetic in growing old and dying at last to make room for the coming millions. The Nation has gracefully remembered the men who remembered her In days of weakness and danger. The pensions given hare been a great sum, and will be such for time to come.

He announced that the would not retire from the commission nor from the contest for president, so the solution of the tie-up rests nAh the oth er six Commissioners. " Commissioner Banfield Is outspoken in his opposition to Mr. Hughes. His po sition Is that the taxpayers expect the new members to organize the board and control Its affairs. Commissioners Hughes and McCraken are the only remaining members of the old board. Mr. Mc Craken champions Mr. Hughes' cause. He took no part in the discussion at the meeting, but after it was over he told Mr. Banfield that Mr. Hughes is the best man for the place in the present situa tion of affairs. He thinks that Mr. Hughes will be able to give more time to the work than Mr. Adams would. While the op position of Mr. Banfield is determined, personalities do not enter Into It. He and Mr. Hughes shook hands cordially after the meeting and assured each other that there was onthing personal In the contest. Then all the Commissioners laughingly agreed with Commissioner Reilly that if there was to be any fric tion it would better come at the start, and they put on their coats and. went home. All members of the board were In their seats when Temporary Chairman Hughes called the meeting to order. After C. F. Swlgert and C. F. Adams, the new Com missioners, had been sworn In, the elec tion of a president was taken up. On motion of Mr. Selling, the vote was by ballot, majority to jelect. Commissioner MaCraken, for eight years president of the board, received votes on the first and second ba'llots. but he said he would not accept Mr. Hughes did not vote on the third ballot. The ballots resulted: 1st. 2d. 3d. Ellis G. Hughes 3 3 3 C. F. Adams 3 3 3 John McCraken 110 I-vot voting 0 0 1 Totals 7 7 7 Necessary to a choice, 4. When the third ballot was announced. Chairman Hughes suggested that the board adjourn. Commissioner Reilly ob jected, saying an adjournment looked like foolishness. Chairman Hughes said there was no use wasting time by voting 3 to 3. He said he prepared the new Port of Port land act, and the community held him responsible for the result of its" operation. T. B. Wilcox, late president of the Com mission, had asserted that the business of the board could not be satisfactorily done under the act. He understood that there was a combination In the board against him, but, combination or no com bination, ho did not propose to withdraw from the Commission or the contest for president. If he should retire, it would look as If he were afraid of his own meas ure. He added that the had never asked any member to vote for him, and did not propose to do so. Commissioner Banfield declared for election at once, and against Mr. Hughes. "There is something wrong," he said. "We were elected to keep the riv ers open and the harbor of Portland In condition to accommodate the largest ships afloat. This is the time when every member of the board should be the pro tector and helpmate of the other. The public expects that the new members shall organize the board, that the whole thing shall be renovated, and that new blood shall have the management of af fairs." Turning to Mr. Hughes, Commis sloner Banfield concluded: "The president of this board will have a great deal to do. It would be better for some new member to be in that position than yourself." Chairman Hughes replied that he had never asked Banfield to vote for him, and had no intention of doing so. He said he knew the sentiment of the com munity better than the ring in front of him. Repeating ex-President Wilcox's pre diction that the new law would not be a success, he said he knew the source of the opposition, and continued: "Of course, if you. elect some one else president, you will relieve me of that re sponsibility, but I will continue to be a Commissioner, and I will hot withdraw as a candidate. 1 know better than Mr. Banfield where the best sentiment of this community is." The meeting adjourned until this morn ing with the deadlock unbroken. The Union Soldier. PORTLAND. March 7. (To the Editor.)

The basket-ball championship of the Pacific Northwest was won by the Se attle Y. M. C. A. team, which defeated the Portland Y. M. C. A. All-Stars last night in a fast, fierce game. The score was 20 to 10. The Seattle players were all strong and trimly built, with the ap pearance and quick movements of ath letes. The game they played was cool and scientific, and their goal throwing quick and accurate. When a Seattle man got the ball it was passed quickly from one to another down the hall, and In a min ute an accurate throw would land It In the basket. The Portland team put up a fine, fast game, with excellent team work, but In physical condition and In goal throwing were badly outclassed. Captain Vlggers played in fine form and scored a field goal and goals from two fouls for his team. Gordon, McKenzie and Mackie also scored field goals. Captain Temple was the star performer for Seattle, scoring four field goals and four throws from fouls. Olney scored three field goals and Muldenhour one. McDonald was the largest and strongest man on the floor, and at center played a grat game, being active in every play. The work of Myers and Olney at guards was responsible for Portland's small score. The two teams were made up as fol lows: Seattle. Portland. Temple, capt. Forward.Wiggers. capt, Moldenhour Forward Gordon McDonald Center.MIller, C. Mackie Olney Guard Woodward Meyers Guard McKenzie Freeman Substitutes, R. Crook and C. Curtin; Portland substitutes, McKenzie and Free man. Umpire, Douthitt and Cook, of Seattle; Cellors, of Portland. About 800 people were present. As a preliminary eevnt. the Y. M. C. A. Light weights defeated the Boys' Brigade team 10 to 5. Wilson, Seed and Smith were the stars of the Y. M. C. A. team, and Burke for the Boys Brigade.

Robbins, a Hamilton (O.) foundry man; thinks Portland would be a fine point for his business, as most of the agricultural machinery, plows, harrows, etc., used In the Columbia Basin should be made at home. "You have the tim ber right at hand," he said, "but coal is perhaps higher than It should be. Even with the high price of coal, Portland would have an advantage over the East ern manufacturer, as the freight on threshing machines, headers, reapers, mowing machines, horse rakes, etc.. Is very high. I am surprised that these ar ticles are not manufactured here on a large scale, as Iron and steel can be shipped cheaply from the Atlantic sea board on sailing vessels.

FRAUDULENT, PENSIONERS. Sng-grestlon "Which Is Well Worthy of Consideration. PORTLAND, March 10. (To the Edi tor.) In a late issue you ask. "Who has got the money that ought to go to the Indian War "Veterans?" and answer, "The people that have It and are enjoying their Hl-gotten gains at the expense of these old heroes are no other than the fraudu lent pensioners who encumber the rolls by the thousands," etc., etc. Now without quoting further from your able and well-timed editorial, every word, of which I endorse, will you permit me through your columns to appeal to my comrades of the G. A. R. to join in an effort to right this terrible wrong, so far as lies in our power, by having stricken from the pension rolls as nearly as pos sible every undeserving name? I know the task will prove an arduous, unpleas ant and thankless one, but it Is a patriotic duty we owe to the country, to "the white-haired veterans of a long-gone struggle" and to the deserving pensioner, that the rolls should be cleansed of every name that dishonors It. How shall we proceed? Why let every veteran who loves his country and cher ishes her honor make It his business, as it certainly Is his duty ,to report every one whom he believes to be a fraudulent pensioner to the proper authorities by affidavit ,and I fully believe that hun dreds. If not thousands, will meet the fate they deserve. Now whether there arc many of this class residing In Ore gon I do not know, but that there are some I am certnln. I know one who has been drawing SS per month for about 10 years unchallenged under the disability law of June, 1SW, who "has recently admitted that he neither needs nor deserves a pen sion, and his neighbors believe him. for he has worked seven days In the week. Winter and Summer during all the years he has been drawing a "disability pen sion." And there are others. And now. comrades of the G A. R. and of the Indian wars, let us fall Into line and "forward, march" with a united de termination not only to stand shoulder to shoulder with each other in all proper efforts for Just recognition by Govern ment, but to Indignantly hurl from our ranks every one that dishonors them.
