THiJ MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1902. HOT TALK BY LOHAN German Consul Vigorously Denounces Crimps. ALL OVER ELBE DESERTIONS would continue to furnish men at $55. That rate was charged for over two years, by agreement. Then, several ship agents here tried to encourage competition and loaded several vessels with men from an Independent firm. Then we made a com bination with the men who were compet ing with us. The nature of our business required it. Wo get the credit for all desertions when it Is really not our fault at all. You can't blame a man for wanting to leave the hard life on shipboard. And when all kinds of 'labor Is scarce, as now, the de sire to get employment ashore Is espe cially strong." He Declares That Abuses Arc Intol erable, and Do Slack Damase r to the Reputation of the Port. It is a clear case of Intimidation by Larry Sullivan and his gang of runners and crimps. I wonder that the people of Portland tolerate him, Thoy seem to be absolute masters of the situation here. In all the ports In which I have been I liavc never seen such a state of terror- ism. It Is a menace to your commerce. It is a disgrace to your city." German Consul Lohan expressed him- self In these words for publication yes terday, in commenting on the desertions j of sailors from the steamship Elba, now !ln port. He accompanied his words with -strong emphasis. He declared that the Icrlmplng abuse here has become unbear able; that the high-handed practices of 'the boarding-house runners called for lm Iznediate repression. ' Fourteen men, nearly the entire crew ;of the Elba, left the ship Wednesday. Three of them are In the County Jail and the United States Marshal is after the 11 others. "Larry" Sullivan says he does not know where they are, for they have 'left town. He is charged by Consul Lo han, not simply with enticing the men irom the ship, but with forcing them off 8t the point of firearms. The Consul as serts that a gang of crimps boarded the tehip "Wednesday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, and compelled 11 men to go inshore. Sullivan declares the men went ashore hof their own accord and free will; that !3ie and three others were on the dock in sAlblna. when the men deserted; that ineither he nor his associates went on the tship, or used any weapons, or threatened iany -violence, and that he took the men Hn a boat to the west side of the river. Shipping circles were all agog over the 3natter yesterday. Sullivan and his as sociates were handled without gloves In the discussions of agents and exporters. iSome of the latter have very hard things to say about him. and do not think that his word should be quoted in the news papers. Other shipping men, while de iploring the practice' of crimping, do not ieee how It can be eradicated. They say that the boarding-house men, while In a business commonly looked upon as disrep utable, are always faithful to their agreements with shipowners, and never 3-aise the price of sailors when shipown ers hold to the agreements. Up to about Jour months ago, the price of sailors was 555 by common understanding. At that time the agreement was broken, and the 5)rice has now gone up to $S5 and $90 per man. "If the shipowners had stayed by their contracts," said Sullivan, yester day, "we would have continued to furnish men for $55. But they broke faith, and now they will have to pay for their gay ety." "Where the Dispute Turns. The turning-point of the whole dispute Is whether Sullivan and his associates boarded the ship. Sullivan says he didn't. Consul Lohan says he did. And both sides nre therefore up against each other good nd hard. The German Consul came here only re eentlv. He Is a man of world-wide expe- nnd Intimates that he knows Enough about crimps not to be intimidated by them. He is of middle age, oi cuuurea, -entertaining mien. "This event will react upon your city," icaid the Consul yesterday. "If German jehipowners cannot send their vessels here jwithout being hold up they will steer clear of Portland and send them to other Pa- clfic Coast ports for wheat and flour. TThere is little or no money now In steam tehips. anyhow, owing to excessively low freights. If expenses are to be further increased by crimps, their vessels will Btay away from the ports that harbor crimps. "I like to see' your city prosper and see ots commerce grow. But this evil has fastened Itself upon Portland to a lament able degree. I should think your commer- slal bodies would take measures to ellmi late it. I should think you would have jfflcers here to protect shipmasters. You iave one harbor-master. How can he jard the many vessels that are always tn port? ' "The eolsode of the Elba is not an oc Wslonal one. It is going on all the time, but nobody pays any attention to it. "It is alleged that the sailors -were cruel- fly treated. That's absurd. Everybody who knows Captain Bruhn knows it is tebsurd. Besides, if there was cruel treat nnent on board, the place for the victims toi make complaint was here, -where their (grievances would be investigated by the iDroper agents and remedied. j Captain Bruhn was averse to saying Kinythlng for publication at all. He re- ! marked that any expression would be iBtored up against him by the boarding uiouse men, when he tried to replace the tdeserters. "This desertion means a big floss to shipowners," he finally admitted. ("It means also great injury to the port. si am surprised that in a great harbor It lis permitted to go on." Deserted of Tlxclr Oivn Accord. Sullivan yesterday strongly denied re teponslblllty for the desertions. "Here's the boatswain," said he. "This man will (tell you that we did not put a foot on rthe ship, and that the men came ashore Sbecause they wanted to come." , Fred Dolderon Is the name of the boat- US wain. He said: "If the captain had treated us like men rwe should not have come ashore. No, lie didn't abuse us, but he starved us. f"We had nothing but biscuits and hardtack fin port, without a vegetable the size of toy thumb. There were four stowaway tJaps on board. The captain wanted to work them, but didn't want to feed them, Our food was poor all through the voy- faage, and we were hungry all tho time." "Did I want you to come ashore?" asked ifsulUvan. "No." "Did I ask any of the men to come jfcshore?" "No; we all wanted to leave the ship.' "Did I or any of the men with me board lithe ship?" "No." i "Did wo have any firearms or threaten violence upon any one?" "No." "Where were we?" "On the dock." : Dolderon said the crew left an the. ship consisted of two mates, three machinists three engineers, two assistants, the cook, the steward, one able seaman and one ordinary seaman. The deserters were 'elgh firemen, four able seamen and two ordinary seamen. The first three desert ers, two firemen and the second steward, were arrested. There were also three Japs who must have Jumped overboard and ewam ashore, because they could have left the vessel in no other way. The recent advance in the price of sail ors to $85 a man has stirred up a good deal of feeling. The Sierra Estrella has shipped eight men at this price. The Asle, which recently sailed, paid $90. The boarding bouse men say that the rate has reached its limit for the present. They insist that the organization of their business requires the collection of that rate. "There are 10 of us In the business," eaid Sullivan yesterday, "and to make a Jiving we had to raise the price. But if -the shipowners bad kept faith with us we FUEL AND IRON SUITS. Gates nnd His Partr Go to Court to Protect Their. Rights. DENVER, Aug. "ll Application was filed In the United States Qlrcult Court today by John W. Gates. James Blilr. John J. Mitchell and Arthur J. Singer against the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com pany, and John C. Osgood, John A. Keb ler, Alfred C. Cass, Dennis Sullivan and David C. Beaman. for an injunction to restrain the defendants from preventing the plaintiffs from casting, counting and having considered the votes which they allege they are entitled to cast at the an nual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and omcers or tne corporation. The complaint recites that of 259,178 shares of stock outstanding, tho plaintiffs own and control by proxies 181,- C09 shares, giving them a clear majority, but that It is feared thit unless tho courts grant them protection they will not be allowed to cast their votes, because of conspiracy and collusion on the part of officers and other shareholders. Numerous written demands, tho com plaint says, have been made upon the sec retary of the company, David C. Beamin, to furnish the books of the company, in -which a list of the stockholders and tho number of shares held by them is kept. but none of these demands have been compiled with. Relying upon that fact, tho plaintiffs "allege that the defendants have failed and neglected to keep in tho State of Colorado any such books as re quired by the statute, and that the only stock book kept by the defendant corpora tion, showing the names and addresses and holdings of shareholders, are the transfer book, the stock ledger and the registry book, kept respectively by tho Knickerbocker Trust Company and the Atlantic Trust Company, In New York, and at the annual meetings lists of the stockholders are taken from such books and these furnished the basis and data to determine names and holdings of all stockholders who should have the right to' vote at the elections of officers." The complaints allege that the officers of the company have transferred to 18 persons, mostly employes of the company. five shares of stock each, with the evi dent object of packing the meeting and fraudulently controlling the election of officers. It also alleges that the defend ants deny the right of Arthur J. Singer and "William N. Valle to vote, on the ground that their names do not appear on the stock book, and that they have ob structed every effort to have the names placed on the stock book. Subpenaes were Issued commanding the officers of the company to appear In court and show cause why an injunction should not be granted, and a hearing may be held tomorrow before Judgo HalletL Arguments were heard by Judge John son in the District Court in the case of "William N. Valle, who Is seeking an al ternative writ of mandamus requiring the secretary of the Colorado Fuel &' Iron Company to exhibit Its stock book to him. Judgo Johnson decided against tho plaintiff, on the ground that he had not shown that he was entitled to sco the books of tho company. I Presidency Offered to Rice. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.

Gates' party, according to information received by the Journal of Commerce, with a view of ascertaining whether or not he will accept the presidency of tho Colorado Fuel & Iron Company.

Representative Thomas H. Tongue, who has Just returned from a week's outing In the Crater Lake region, was in the city a few hours yesterday, leaving on tho 4:50 P. M. train for hla home at Hillsboro. Mr. Tongue was a member of the excur sion party that left this city for Crater Lake August G, in charge of "W. G. Steel. The main party is still in tho woods, only one or two members having returned. Speaking of the trip Mr. Tongue said: "The scenery of the Crater Lake country is beautiful, and one who has never vis ited the wonderful lake has no idea of Its grandeur. Our party included about 20 members, nnd we enjoyed a delightful outing. Mr. Steel did everything pos sible to mako the journey a pleasant one, and everybody "had a Jolly good time. On the way out, I visited Klamath Indian agency, and then came through to thl3 city as soon as possible. "A good deal of correspondence accum ulated during my absence," . said Mr. Tongue, holding up a bundle of perhaps 200 letters that wero waiting for him at the Hotel Perkins yesterday morning. "The average Congressman doesn't get a vacation unless ho gets out In the woods where there aro no postofficca. It will take me a week or eo to get all these letters answered properly." Mr. Tongue looks remarkably welL He Is somewhat stouter than when he re turned from Washington last month, and looks the picture of health. He will do vote the principal part of tho next two months to his law practice and farming interests, and will return to "Washington in time for his regular work at the short session of Congress.

Hogue, for nearly 50 years a representative business man of Portland, died at the home of his son, Chester J. Hogue, at "Winthrop Beach, Mass., yes terday afternoon. Mr. Hogue had not been In the best of health for come time. Last "Winter he was seized with Illness, and he grew steadily worse until his death. News of his passing away was re ceived in Portland last evening by his son. Municipal Judge H. "W. Hogue. Mr. Hogue was born at Princeton, Ind., In July, 1832. In 1S50 he crossed the plains to California and engaged in mining at "Weaverville. Making no strikes, he en gaged In the merchandise business until September, 1S51, when he came to Oregon and remained In Linn County a few months. He wont back to California, but In the Spring of 1S52 he returned to Oregon and opened a store at Burlington in partnership with W. M. Powers. The following "Winter was a very severe one, and with high prices and little money In the county, goods had to be sold on a credit basis, and the Spring found the firm with a lot of accounts on which they could not realize anything. The store had to be closed, but the partners by hard work paid all their debts. Mr. Hogue took up a quarter of a section ot land, and his father arriving from tho East with a threshing machine and reap er in 1S53, they engaged extensively In farming, and were very usccesfiful. "With the breaking out of the Indian war In the fall of 1S55, Mr. Hogue en listed in Company H, Oregon Mounted Cavalry, under Colonel J. "W. Nesmlth. Proceeding to Eastern Oregon, they had an engagement on the "Walla "Walla Riv er, which lasted four days. They cap tured tho celebrated chief, Peu-Peu Mox Mox, who was killed In camp while at tempting to escape. Mr. Hogue acted as Quartermaster-Sergeant and Captain's clerk during a part of the campaign, and In February, 1S56, he returned to Salem In the Quartermaster's department, as stockmaster of the southern district, and there remained until the close of the war. He afterward went Into the cattle business In California, and In the Frascr River mines. In December, 1S58, he came to Portland and bought an interest In the Love sawmill with "W. P. Abrams and J. S. Hawkins, and until a few years ago he was connected with the lumbering interests. Abrams & Hogue purchased the Hawk ins Interest in 1839, and were associated In the mill until the death of Mr. Abrams, In 1S73. In the Fall of 1861 they became connected with mills in Eastern Oregon, with a large sash and door factor' at The Dalles, until 1SCT, and with a" steam boat enterprise In Idaho until ISO. In the latter year they returned to The Dalles and Mr. Hogue was commissioned superintendent of construction of the United States Mint building. After the appropriation of $110,000 had been ex hausted, the work was stopped and -was never resumed. In February. 1S7L he came back to Portland, and, with Mr. Abrams, purchased the East Side mill. where Mr. Abrams met with an accident that caused his death. Mr. Hogue subse quently nurchascd the Interest of the es tate, and continued to operate the mill until 1SS7. when he rebuilt and, with lm proved machinery Increased Its capacity to 50,000 feet of lumber per day of 10 hours, which he maintained Summer and Winter, with a market to consume the supply. Mr. Hoguei operated the mill un til four or five years ago, when he re tired from active business. In 1SS0 Mr. Hogue purchased an interest in tho Abernethy mills at Oak Point, Wash., and supplied Coast ports with lumber. In 1SS7 he secured the franchise and established the first electric light plant In East Portland, and conducted it four years, when he sold out to theAl- blna Lljrht & Water Company, of whlcn he was a stockholder. He was one of the organizers of tho Transcontinental Street Railroad Company (now the City & sud urban Railway Company); of the Port land Telephone Company; was president of the Willamette Iron Bridge company, which built the Morrison-street bridge. and was among the first stockholders of tho Madison-street Bridge Company. He was also identified with a number of other enterprises, among them the Port land Hotel. Mr. Hogue was married in Portland in December. 1EC0. to Miss Sarah L. Abrams. daughter of W. P. Abrams, a pioneer of 1849. They have two children Judge Harrv W. Hogue. of Portland, and Ches ter J. Hogue. an architect, of Winthrop Beach, Maes. In politics Mr. Hoguo was a RepuDii can, and he was a strong partisan dur ing the days of the Rebellion. While In Eastern Oregon In 1565 he was elected to the Legislature, and he was again -elect ed in 1836. Each time the nomination -was tendered him in recognition of his stand inc as an active business man. After his retirement from business mt. Hoguo passed most of the time at his home in Portland. About a year ago he and Mrs. Hogue went to Winthrop Beach to visit their son, Chester, and they were to return this Summer. His Illness pre vented his removal, and they remained in Massachusetts.
