THE MOKNING OREGCXNIAN, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28, 1901. READY FOR CONFERENCE GRAIJt EXPORTERS TO MEET CHAM BER OP COMMERCE TRUSTEES. Demand of Gralnfcnndlers' Union Will'Be .Considered at Meeting Both Sides Stand Firm. Grain exporters held a meeting In the Concord Building yesterday afternoon. The object 'of the meeting- "was to pre pare for tomorrow , .morning's conference with the trustees of the Chamber of Com merce regarding the demands of the Gralnhandlers' Union. The session Is In ferred to have been an Interesting one, for it lasted about an hour. The position the exporters will take In the controversy Xas discussed, and it Is -understood that a course of procedure was outlined. Sentiment of exporters at present Is, not in favor of conceding the demand of the union for recognition ojn the terms 'of fered. Gralnhandlers say" that exporters are haggling over a quibble. The union Insists upon recognition because it fears otherwise there would be discrimination against Its members. It maintains that recognition would be only a matter of formality and that exporters would be as free as ever to choose workmen. Ex porters see the matter In another light. They declare that to agree to give prefer ence of employment to the' union means that, no matter how. efficient a nonunion man may be, the effect of the terms of the agreement demanded would be that he could not be hired until every member of the union has been given work. As some members of the union are inferior workmen, to demand that they be engaged In preference to good nonunion grain handlers is unreasonable. An exporter said yesterday that although the union is thoroughly sincere in its demands and desires to be fair, this would be the effect of the terms proposed. He added that ho thought the liberty of employers to hire whomsoever do the best work accorded with the spirit of a free country, and the privilege of an American employer. We care not so much about what wages we pay," said he, ' "as about what work we get done. "We have ships to load. Of. course, wo hire the strongest and fastest workers we can. get. Time wasted in loading a 6hlp and not high wages rep resents loss to us. If we could get a crew of men that could load a ship twice as fast as another could that was getting 35 cents per hour, we would glad ly pay the former 70 cents per hour. This Is, however, merely for the sake of Il lustration." A prominent grain exporter of Tacoma was in the city yesterday. He said: "Gralnhandlers here are getting 10 cents more per hour than we pay at Tacoma, Thirty-five cents is good pay, and I do not see the grievance of the union. Nor can I see' how exporters can concede the effect of recognition, for, of course, the effect, and not the fact of recognition, is the main issue. The one grievous effect would be that a good nonunion man would have to stand idle so long as an inferior union man was out of work. The inev itable result of the present dispute is plain. Gralnhandlers will ultimately be displaced by machines for transferring grain from cars. "It is a common hallucination that ex porters are makfng big profits. But I challenge any man to show me an ex porter who has retired from, business wealthy. Exporters have a certain amount of capital. They must have this or they would not be able to move the farmers' crops. This capital, however, is not profit, any more than is' the Tiouse of the work man. "This confusion of profit and capital af fords Incentive to workmen to raise their wages or to make other demands -which amount to the same thing. They think they are entitled to a larger share of the employers' profits. But they are taking money away, not from exporters, "but from farmers. Farmers have to bear the burden of higher wages for everybody en gaged in handling grain. "Exporters are In a better position to sit down and await the end of a strike than many people Imagine. They are pro tected from loss by strike clauses In char ters, and their business is not one that has to be kept going. Besides, they can divert grain to Puget -Sound and ship ltH there They are doing this now. In- ap prehension of difficulty. Five ships have been taken from the Portland list and are how scheduled for Tacoma. They are the Glenerlcht, Euphrates, Kensington, Inverkip and Fingal. "Gralnhandlers at Tacoma are well sat isfied with their pay of 25 cents per hour. They have no union, and have no inclina tion to form one. I should say they are a set of men equal in general Intelligence to the gralnhandlers here. Conditions at Tacoma do not favor formation of a union. Laborers are relatively more numerous than at Portland. Portland grainhandlers, in comparison with men at similar work at other parts of the Coast, are faring well." LETTER FROM MR. STOLZ; Explains "What He Did In Impure Cider Case. SAliEM, Nov. 23. (To the Editor.)-In justice to myself and the merchants of Portland and other points who have placed my goods on sale, I thought best to -give -a brief statement. The preservative used in my cider Is called "antlscepticum," and is manufac tured by the Northwest Chemical Com pany, of Milwaukee, "Wis., and among other superior claims and guarantees is that It is wholesome and perfectly harm less, not to contain any salicylic acid, and to conform to the pure food laws. The reputation of this firm, is beyond ques tion. I placed tho goods on test for four weeks, but only as to their quality to preserve cider, never doubting the purity of the goods. I began to use It In cider for shipment on October 25, and'eontinued up to November 3. Complaints were filed before November 3, but I supposed It was from other sources. However, I ordered all cider to be taken up at once, and on November 4. sent samples of cider to State Chemist A. "I. Knisely, with a let ter, of which the following is a correct copy: Salem, Or., Nov. 4. Professor A. L. Knisely, Chemist, Oregon Agricultural College Dear Sir: As you will note, I am in the cider business, and among the lines 1 ship sweet elder to va rious Coast cities. And for the first time in many years of business have had trouble with my elder pleasing my trade. In fact, many cases of sudden attacks of sickness are report ed to me from the drinking of elder, and are confined to a few shipments onlyk Now, to ascertain the trouble, I ask your assistance, and to that end -I send you four samples of one quart each Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4. Siome of these are taken from elder returned that has caused the trouble, others from stock on hand. I have various theories as to the cause, but am unable to get to positive facts. And your analysis may relieve some of my trouble, and I shall hope for a speedy reply consistent with correct work, and will pay your fee when pre-" sented by mall. Thanking you In advance for a prompt' renly, respectfully yours, GIDEON STOLZ. - This letter states the salient points I desire to bring out. I was the first to submit samples for analysis, and It seemed but simple justice to me and the merchants tha these facts should! be made known. The following letter will further explain my case. Corvallls, Or.. Nov. 21. Mr. G. Stolz. Salem. Or. Dear Sir: Since seeing you, I have been thinking the matter over, and have consulted one or two of our experienced station men, and we are of the opinion that It would be best to let the whole 'matter drop, and not stir It up again through the newspapers. However, at your request, I will, say that it seems to roe that you have been made the dupe of some unscrupulous Basturn rirrri. and that as eqon as yjpu suspected your elder- to be un wholesome you sent samples of the same to xne and also a sample of the preservative used. The elder was sent to me November 4. ac companied by the enclosed letterf The pre servative was sent November 5. Tour frank ness and the manner In which you took' up the matter helped me considerably In deter mining Just what the cause of your trouble with the elder was. A. L. KNISELY. P. S.

War is on at Montavilla over granting a new liquor license to "William Grimes, who had conducted a roadhouse at that place for a long time. He succeeded In getting up a long petition to the County Court for the renewal of his license, but a considerable number have undertaken to prevent his getting it renewed. It is alleged that his place is not con ducted in an orderly manner, and that it Is a menace to the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. The contest has been carried into the fraternal organizations, and nearly all of the secret societies have taken a stand against granting 'Grimes a license. So far the "Woodmen of the "World, the Artisans, .Degree of Honor, the A. O. U. "W. and the Red Cross have filed protests. This. has not been accomplished wlthoud a hard struggle, as a considerable number of the members of these organizations were on Grimes' petition, and there was much commotion at some of the meetings where the mat ter was brought up. The Montavilla Sub-Board of Trade Is expected to take up the question at the regular meeting tomorrow evening in Aylesworth Hall. The fight, is on to the bitter end, and the community seems yery much stirred up. TROUTDALE LIBRARY PROSPERS. Portland People Have Aided in Slak ing It a. Success. Dr. Eliot, of Portland, delivered an In teresting lecture at Troutdale on the evening of November 23 for the benefit of the Library Association, on "Books and Their Uses." Judge S. Bullock, of Port land, was present and sang, and there were other musical numbers. The Trout dale Association library now contains 136 books. Of these, 20 were added from an entertainment given November 2. There was also a donation of 20 volumes from A. May and others, from Mrs. Frank Brune, Miss Ray Telling, Miss Esther Miller, of Portland. "W. H. Olarkell, of the East Side, made a donation of oil for lighting purposes. Tnese books have been placed on the shelves in the reading-room. There are three tables containing magazines and papers, among these latter The Orego nlan and Evening Telegram,' which are gifts. The room Is provided with chairs and is well lighted for reading. An office clock was donated by Butterfleld Bros., of Portland. The room Is well patronized by citizens, and Is appreciated, especially by the young people. The library is kept up by a committee of women, untir ing in their efforts to make it a success. They are 'also interesting outside parties, who have rendered efficient aid. The association meets every Tuesday,, The library is free to the public as a reading room, but for the privilege of taking books out a fee of ?3 per annum, or ia cents per month, is charged. J. C. JENSEN' ACQUITTED. He Was Tried on Charge of Larceny of a Bicycle. J. C. Jensen was tried before a jury in Justice "Vreeland's court yesterday on charge of the larceny of a bicycle owned by Mrs. A. B. Manley, of Upper Alblna, who was the complaining witness. The state was represented by "W. N. "Watens. Judge Hays, of Oregon City, conducted the defense. , It was a peculiar case. The defendant is a rather prepossessing man. He was found with the wheel on "Williams avenue November 17, a few minutes after he had taken it, and was arrested November 18. His explanation of the man ner in which he got possession of the bicycle was not accepted, which was to Felix Fremerey, who had a room rented Felix Frennery, -who had a room rented in the Manley building. At the trial, this man explained how he came to lend Jensen the bicycle. He said that a farm er from St. Johns made a practice of leav ing his bicycle at his place of business, and had told him that he might use It whenever he so deslrtd. .Tpnspn imi some running about to do and the bicycle was lent to hlra for that purpose, but Jensen had hardly left the building be fore he was accused of stealing it. After taking testimony, the case was submit ted to the jury without argument, and a veraict or not guilty was brought' in. Money In Potatoes. Of recent years a potato patch anywhere near Portland Is almost a bonanza. Near Troutdale a man saw a 15-acre tract un cultivated, and leased the piece for ?50 for th,ls year. He put it in potatoes, and last week was offered 51000 for his crop In the ground, which he refused. He will clean up about $1500 on the invest ment. All around Montavilla there are fine crops of potatoes. The vines are still green, owing to the character of the season. This does not allow the skins of the potatoes to harden, so that they will be suitable for shipment. If the frost kills the vines, they would soon be ready for digging, but the season has been so worm and open that the vines are still green. Most of the farmers will leave them in the hill, knowing that they take few if any chances in doing so. Funeral of Mrs. Sarah 31. Kelty. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah M. Kelty, wife of J. M. Kelty, was held at 'the family residence, 163 East Sixth street, Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Rpbert Mc Lean, of the Third Presbyterian Church, conducted the services, and referred In a touching manner to her womanly char acter. Floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, and among these were an exquisite piece from the employes of the Evening Telegram and a wreath from the United States Appraiser's office. Members of the Evening Telegram's re portorial staff were tho pallbearers. Rivervlew cemetery was the place of interment East Side Notes. The body of Miss Anna L. Wakeley, who died In San Francisco, will arrive today, and the funeral will be held at the First Baptist Church tomorrow after noon at 2:30 o'clock. Lone Fir ceme tery will be the place of interment. President "W. "W. Plimpton, president of the Portland Boulevard Commission and also of the executive committee, has called a general meeting of the members for tomorrow evening at the quarters of Hose Company No. 3, East Seventh street Constable Cox. of Justice -Vreeland's court, presided over a Constable's" trial and Jury yesterday with becoming dig nity.

Andrew Monroe, the pastor of Patton M. E. Church, was very agreeably surprised Tuesday last, when one of the members of the church drove up to the parsonage with a goodly load of the good things of this world, and on behalf of the members of Patton Church, re plenished his larder In a truly liberal manner.

' Small Josephine Aycrs in Communi cation "With, the Late Presi dent's Devoted "Wife. Josephine B. Ayers, the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Ayers, who live on the corner of East Sixth and Mia streets, haS -received an answer to her letter oi condolence, sent Mrs. Mc KInley at Canton, shortly after the death of the President. The little girl was deep- THE LATE SAMUEL W. CHURCH. . Because of uncertainty In the minds of physicians as to the nature of the ail ment which caused the death of the late Samuel W. Church, and In order to be satisfied that everything possible under the circumstances had been done for his relief, the family and friends deemed It advisable that an autopsy should be held. The autopsy was by Doctors Andrew J. Giesy and George P. Wilson, and It was found that the death of Mr. Church was caused by malignant endocarditis, a dis eased condition of the heart, which must necessarily have proved fatal, and which no treatment could have cured. The funeral will take place from the family residence, at Twelfth and Clay streets, at 10 A. M. Friday. Interment will be In Rivervlew. ly affected by the assassination and the death of President McKlniey. Her moth er had told her that her tetter would not likely ever reach Mrs. McKInley, but In i course of time It certainly did reach her. Mrs. McKInley sent Josephine a mourn ing envelope containing a mourning card with suitable acknowledgements. "When President McKInley was a can didate for the first time. In 1896, the U. S. Grant Republican Club, held a monster meeting In the- old pumping station on the corner of Mllwaukle and Powell streets, and at that time Josephine, only 4 years old, delivered a little speech ad vocating the election of McKInley, pre dicting that In case of his election the country would return to prosperity, and that everyone would have work. She was brought to the platform by her proud Josephine B. Ayers, "Who "Wrote to Biro. McKInley. "vT ' : ssaw - - - " HH9 Hue. Mc Kustuety till Mesh Rag&jB Kjf ACIOrorWIEDGES "WITH. GRATETTJT.

A report was sent to Presi dent McKInley of her speech, and he le plled through his private secretary, thanking Josephine for her campaign speech, and expressed the hope that his administration would be all that she said it would be. The singular part of . the situation was that the rest of the family were for Bryan, but little Josephine was . for McKInley.

Members of the Walters' Alliance are fo'llowlng their profession by waiting for the outcome of the Injunction proceed ings, brought against their boycott of the Palace Restaurant. They hope for a de cision next week, and then they expect to begin the boycott in earnest. Thanksgiv ing day and criminal cases are in ahead of the injunction suit. Argument will probably begin Monday. The Walters' Alliance was quite jubilant yesterday over Its success at bringing around two recalcitrant restaurants. Tuesday night the Creamerle signed the N union scale and "Wednesday morning Strauss' Restaurant adopted the union agreement. Thirty-two eating-places have now accepted the terms of the alliance, but about twenty of the principal restau rants are holding out. Two weeks ago active boycott was declared against tie restaurants. One of these, the Creamerle. has come around to the demands of the waiters. CAME HERE TO GET DRUNK Laborers From Vancouver Railroad Have a High Old Time. There was another railroad matinee at the Municipal Court yesterday. Eight "drunks" stood in line, and it appeared that seven of them asserted that they were" employed on the Vancouver Rail road. John Carroll was first on the list, and he began: "Your Honor, If you let me go this time, I'll never come back. I worked on the Vancouver Railroad ' "Hold on a bit," Interrupted Judge Cam eron. "Certain prisoners seem to think It is an extenuating circumstance to work on that railroad. How many more In this crowd work on some railroad?" "Me, sir!" said six bass voices in uni son. "And you seven all admit being drunk?" "Yes, slr."- "There must be a strange sort of thirst In the air around Vancouver," observed the Judge, reflectively. Carroll and Mor ris Hennessy were each fined $4: George Kelly, Archie Brown and Mike McLough lan were each fined $2, John Mullen was fined $6, and "Walter Emerson was sen tenced to five days in the City Jail. SEWARD WINTERS HERE. Crew to Be Discharged Repairs Held In Abeyance. The indications are that the transport Seward will "Winter here. Orders have jU3t been received here to discharge her crew, retaining only the captain, chief engineer, quartermaster and two watchmen, and lay the vessel up. Free dockage has been offered by sev eral persons. J The matter of repairing the Seward Is held In abeyance, subject to consultations at Washington In the near future between General Randall and Quartermaster-General Ludlngton. ENCHANTED AN AUDIENCE 4- VOICE OF CHARLOTTE MACONDA BEWITCHED HER HEARERS. Her Grace and Beauty as "Well as Her Delicious Soprano Made Her Recital Memorable. A beautiful woman with an enchant ing voice ought to win any -audience. It would have been strange Indeed, there fore, If the people who crowded the "White Temple last night had not -fallen under the ' spell of Charlotte Maconda, who Is as modest and unassuming In demeanor as she Is beautiful. She made such a charming picture on the stage gowned In glittering white, that some thing could have been forgiven her if she had not come up to vocal requirements; but this was not necessary. Her voice Is one of very unusual range, and of most delicious clarity and purity of In tonation. Its flexibility was shown In the brilliant "Polonaise" by Thomas, which was a remarkable proof of her ability to handle the most difficult fiorl ture with grace and skill. Her trills in "Maids of Cadis" and "Thou Brilliant Bird" from David's "Perle du Brezll," were thrown oft with the delicacy and sangfroid of a bird among the branches. In the David and the Thomas numbers she reached a note that 'was either high D, or else something very near It above the staff. The programme was apparently not made with the sole Idea of proving Ma conda to have the most remarkable coloratura soprano 6f the day; but to present an alluring group of composers of varied and distinct styles, schools, and nationalities. Heavy drafts were there fore made upon her powers of interpre tation, She was simple and natural in the love-songs, filled with gladness of maternity in the lullabies, and operatic In the "Polonaise." She went down Into the subtler depths of feeling for Schu mann. She was gay with touches of French diablerie and abandon in Delibes' "Maids of Cadiz," and voiced melancholy of three distinct types In the Irish folk-song, the air from "MIgnon," and th'e -Grieg numbers. Mr. Coursen accompanied her on the piano, and Mr. Oechsle gave the flute obllgato In the aria from "Perle du Brezll." PERSONAL MENTION. John C. Young, a well-known mining man of Baker County, returned yesterday from a business trip to the Shasta Valley, Cal. He is at the Imperial. B. H. Friendly, C. A. Hardy and H. W. Thompson are among the Eugene people who came down to attend the Multnoman Oregon football game. Herman C. Varwig arrived home yes terday from a five weeks' trip East.

It Is a serious question sometimes to know Just what to eat when a person's stomach is out of order and most foods cause griping and pains. Grape-Nuts Food can be taken at any time with the certainty that It will digest. Actual experience of people is valuable to anyone interested in foods. Mrs. Ella Nation, 1452 Grand avenue, Terre Haute, Ind.: "Had suffered with Indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony wlth my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. I was urged to try Grape-Nuts Food, and since using It I do I not have to starve myself any more, but I can eat It at any time and feel nour ished and satisfied, and dyspepsia is a thing of the past. "When my stomach used to have that burning, hungry sensation my heart would flutter, Just as sufferers with stomach trouble know about, and when I was so weak I could hardly walk I would get up and get some Grape-Nuts and cream, j and eat them, and the trouble would stop ngnt away, ana s. Kept growing Det ter and better. "My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts' Food. He was very weak and sickly In the Spring. Could not at tend to his fvork. He was put under the doctor's care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape Nuts. It was positively surprising to see the change In him. He grew better right off, and naturally he has none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts. "Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without he has Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and oth er scholars comment on U. I am satisfied that It is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts. "It is a pity that people do not know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who feed their youngsters on almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them. The real way Is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along X without the medicine and expense." PIRN0S KNABE, STECK, HARDMAN, FISCHER.
