British Consul Laidlaw takes a, hand
In the antl-crlmplng agitation. -He la

lic authorities do' not enforce tho laws,

nounces as a crime.
"I defy any man to show a port In the
world where crimps are harbored as they
nro here. I tell you, the evil has got to
the limit of endurance."
These were the -words yesterday of Brit
ish Consul James Laidlaw. Mr. Laidlaw
lias represented the English Government
at Portland for a long period, and la thor
oughly acquainted with the present situa
tion and the conditions that have led up
to it. He has been through all the tur
moils that this port has had over crimp
ing for the past 23 years. Mr. Laidlaw is
indignant that the abuse has been so long
tolerated and that it has been permitted
to grow to its present proportions. It ha9
fastened Itself upon the commerce of this
port, he says, all on account of tho apathy
of the public
"If public sentiment could be awakened
to the o?riousnes3 of the situation' Mr.
Laidlaw remarked, "it would put the run-xitT-s
and crimps out of buslnes3 arid
wouldn't take any time to do it, either.
There are enough laws now. What is
needed is not more laws, but enforcement
of the laws already presumed to be in full
force and effect. These laws are not in
full force and effect, nor anywhere near
it. If the Federal and state statutes were
put into exercise, they would reduce the
trouble."
Mr. Laidlaw was asked which of the two
Bets of laws would meet the present situa
tion best.
"Both," he rejoined, forcefully, "both,"
end continued:
"We are told that tho Federal law does
not cover the case now at issue. I will
not argue thi3 question. But I do most
emphatically declare that the Oregon state
law covers It If the Federal law reaches
short, what's the matter with the state
law? The Oregon statute has complete
and comprehensive provisions for the pun
ishment of all runners and crimps, not
only for enticing sailors from ships, but
for harboring sailors who desert. "What
more do you want? Could any law be
more explicit than that section of the
code printed by The Oregonlan Tuesday?
"The Prosecuting Attorney says: 'But
no complaints have been filed before us.'
We have no evidence and no case to work
on. Let them bring their case before us
end we will prosecute. It is for the ship
owners or their agents or their repre
sentatives to -give us a case.'
"Why is It? I ask. The evidence Is plain
that the law is violated. The evidence is
plain as to who violated It.
"When an open crime is committed, such
as robbery or murder, do the authorities
sit idly by and wait for the case to be
brought before them? No; the Prosecut
ing Attorney nets about to gather evidence
and witnesses and to make his own case.
"In the Elba affair there is an open
crime. It Is for the agents of the law to
put tho machinery of the law in xnption.
This duty does not devolve upon the ship
owners or their representatives, any more
than If the crew committed murder or rob
bery In port. Forcing or enticing a crew
to desort Is a crime. Just the same as is
murder or robbery.
"Portland has as good a set of prosecut
ing officers as has any city in the world.
But the trouble Is that they don't look
at the crimping evil in the proper light.
"Portland has a Harbor-Master, What
is he doing? Why doesn't he constitute
himself a prosecuting officer and gather
evidence against tho crimps, as a police
officer should do in an open crime like
this? Evidence is easy to get, goodness
knows: but no, indeed. This officer of the
law, who is charged with the duty of en
forcing the law, won't enforce it, and tries
to foist the burden off on shipmasters,
who are entitled to the protection of the
Jaw.
"One harbormaster Is enough if he will
but do his duty. This duty of his is two
fold. It consists not merely of the har-
Jbor routine, which is easy; it enjoins him
to be a prosecuting officer in behalf of the
City of Portland and. the State of Oregon.
"No. sir, I don't look upon crimping as
a legitimate "business, in whatever degree
it Is practiced. In the eyes of the law
these runners are not carrying on a legiti
mate livelihood. They are parasites on
commerce, and their practice is an incu
bus which is preying on the trade of this
port to an extent the public does not
realize.
"The runners say they must have more
blood money,' because there are more
men in the business. Did anybody ever
near the like? I suppose if there were
0.000 blackguards in the business, 'blood
imonev' would have to go up in order to
(keep them alive. Only blackguards would
use such an argument The runners here
are blackguards, and the word is entirely
loo good for them. They infest commerce
IJn a way that is vicious and denlorable.
Besides, they prey upon the base passions
of men in' a manner that seals them as
the most despicable characters in human
.form. .
"Why, these-crlmps have got to be such
-a power that a private citizen, does not
'dare to proceed attainst them. Owine to
Ithe laxity with which cases are likely to
pe prosecuted, the probability of conviction
Ss not strong, and the way is opened to
ihe crimps to sue for alleged damages,
This in itself is enough, to scare any prl
vate Individual out of the endeavor to
inflict justice on the scoundrels. But with
the officers of the law it is different They
have nothing to fear.
"I say it has" come to ateorry pass -when
commerce is held up and made to pay
tributo to a lot of blackguards, such as
Infest this port It is an abomination with
fcrhich, the public is not acquainted, or it
would repress the oviL "Why, no ship
that comes here can escape their extor
tions. If a captain is so fortunate as to
escape past Astoria to Portland and back
p.galn to Astoria -with -all bis crew, the
crimps down there hold him up by having
members of his crew arrested for alleged
theft or other misdemeanors. The sailors
plead guilty and the crimps have succeeded
Just as well as if they went aboard the
ships and took them oft. Meanwhile the
Bhlp is losing time by lying in port, and
in order to get away has to buy men from
the crimps.
"Puget Sound is in my Consular district.
and I regret to say that crimping is car
rled on there, too. But the practice there
floes not reach the enormity that it does
here, though I must say there Is little to
pick and choose between the two. For
your information I might say that crimp
ing has entirely ceased in San Francisco
owing to the lively prosecution carried on
by state officials in that city, and crews
era now secured lor the sum legally ai
lowed by the state laws $5 per man. In
this state the sum -would be $10 per man.
vhlch is certainly a heavy enough tax on
commerce, for men of their stamp to levy
for their support
"A public sentiment Is needed in Port
land tc drive out this evil."

GOVEJIXMEXT WILL ACT.
Ha Directed District Attorner Hall
to Move Against Crimps.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 2L The Secretary of State
has requested the Department of Justice
to Investigate complaints made by the
British and French consuls at Portland
that the practice of "crimping" is being
widely conducted at that port' and as a
result many of the sailors on British and
French vessels entering tho port are de
serting. The Attorney-General ha3 called upon
District Attorney John H. Hall to Inves
tigate the charges, and If the law is be
ing violated he io to use every means at
his command to put a stop to the practice
of crimping.
The foreign consuls at Portland for
warded their complaints through their
embassies here making them stato
papers, which are not made public It is
learned, however, that greatest complaint
Is made against one Sullivan, keeper of a
sailors' boarding house, that he to induc
ing British and French sailors to desert
their vessels. Attorney Hall has not re
ported' to the President yet
Under treaty rolatlons with England
and France, the Government la bound to
return deserting British and French sail
ors, who desert if they can be located,
but there is much difficulty in proving
their identity. Furthermore, in past
years where proceedings have been taken
against boarding-house keepers, charged
with crimping, it has been almost im
possible to detain witnesses until ses
sions of court are held, and prosecutions
generally fall. While every possible
means will be employed to stamp out the
violations of the law, if any exist little
success ia looked for.
The complaints in the present case say
crimping is almost entirely limited to
Portland on the Pacific Coast being
slightly practiced at San Francisco and
Tacoma.
WEATHER IX NORTH PACIFIC.
Mr. Seals Will Issue" Monthly Bulle
tins of What May Be Expected.
Forecast Official Beals . hereafter will
Issue statements In the dally weather
charts of what weather may be expected
each month In the North Pacific Ocean.
They will be in the nature of bulletins
based on the law of averages In past years.
The bulletins will be changed each month.
The August statement Is as follows:
"August is a quiet month over the east
ern portion of the North Pacific Ocean.
South of latitude 33 degrees the northeast
trades prevail, while to the north of this
lino the prevailing winds are westerly. As
tho sun retreats southward the winds
along the entire American coast have a
tendency to back a few points to the south
and fogglness obtains its maximum fre
quency on the Oregon and Washington
coasts.
The southwest winds in the China Sea
are the lightest of the year, except when
Interrupted by typhoona These violent
storm originate between 8 degrees and 20
degrees north latitude, in the waters ad
jacent to the southern portion of the Phil
ippine Islands, and move at first north
westward, when they recurve and move
northeastward."
"These bulletins will enable people who
have friends at sea in North Pacific waters
to see what weather their friends are likely
to encounter on the voyage," said Mr.
Beals yesterday.
AXXIETY OVER SCHOOXER,
A. J. West Reported Lost, hut Rumor
Lacks Confirmation.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 21. This city
was greatly excited yesterday over the
rumor that the big four-masted schooner,
A. J. West, one of the finest vessels in
the West & Slado Timber Company's
fleet, had been overtaken by the tidal
wave that recently swept the Gulf of
California and had been capsized and
that all on board had been lost As
there seemed no way of verifying the
rumor, which started tnrougn informa
tion received by the Sailors' Union here
from San Francisco, the Marine Ex
change in that city was queried atf to the
truth or falsity of the report and the
following answer was wired:
"The A. J. West sailed from Santa
Rosalia, Mexico, August 7, for Aberdeen.
No report of her loss received here. Own
ers discredit rumor from Aberdeen."
This reply quieted the feeling of anxiety
here, as It would hardly be possible for
the West to have been wrecked without
news of her loss reaching the Exchange.
The West cleared from here early in
July with a full cargo of lumber, nearly
1,000,000 feet for Santa Rosalia, Mexico.
She was commanded by Captain Gonerud,
who had his wife with him, and carried a
crew of 11 men, all shipped from this
port.

tye and Transit.
The British ship Euphrosyne, the French
bark Cambronne and the American schoon

by the Government and yesterday it was
announced to tho owners of the boat by
the local inspectors of steam vessels.

The experiment will be watched with
interest oy owners oi oxner steamboats.
who are only waiting to see the success
of the venture before resorting to the
fuel themselves. The price of cordwood
has been advancing lately, and the use of
oil will effect considerable saving in fuel
bills.
CHARTERED FOR OCTOBER.
British Ship Roxburgh, Whl
Comes From Shanghai. .
British ship County of Roxburgh was
reported yesterday as fixed for October
loading at Portland. She is a vessel of
2091 net tons and come from New York
by way; of Shanghai. Her rate of charter
Is understood to be 26s 3d. This Is looked
upon as the minimum rate at which
nearly all vessels may be obtained at
present for the United Kingdom. The
two disengaged ships in port, the
Euphrosyne and Dlmsdale, are holding

Marine Inspectors Need a. Telephone
Captain E. S. Edwards and Captain
George F. Fullert Government Inspectors
of steam vessels, are without a telephone
In their new ojee in tho Custom-House
building. A large number of complaints
have been made by steamboat men who
are Inconvenienced by lack of communi
cation facilities with the office. When
ever they desire to confer with the in
spectors they have to go to tho Custom-
House. This causes loss of time ana a
great deal of grumbling. Attempts to
move the department at Washington to
see the need of a telephone have so far
not been successful. The office of Cap
tains Edward and Fuller Is the only one
in the building that does not cave such
an instrument They are spared a lot
of trouble in answering telephone calls,
but steamboat men don't like it that
way.

PORTLAND BUSINESS MEN DISCUSS
NEW PROJECT.
To Assure Success of Enterprise a
Bond of 15,000- 31ust Be Glveix
Steamship Owners,
A number of representative business
men of tho city met yesterday at the
office of the Chamber of Commerce, on
Washington street, and talked over the
matter of establishing a steamship line to
Nome, Alaska, The meeting was called
by the committee of the chamber on
Alaska, and was the direct outcome of
the offer of the Alaska Miners' Associa
tion to furnish tho passengers for the first
trip, and to help the company in several
other ways. After a pro-and-con dis
cussion had lasted for over an hour, the
meeting adjourned, with the feeling that
the line should and would be started, the
first ship to sail from Portland about
September 25.
Tho meeting was entirely informal, and
there was no chairman, everybody belnjr
at liberty to say what he wanted to con
cerning the plans on hand. Those who
took part in the discussion were: A. H.
Devers, J. L. Lang. L. Y. Keady, I. B.
Hammond, I. G. Davidson, J, F. Watson,
F. A. Spencer, F. A Jones. Captain Rath
bone and .Secretary Moore, of the Board
of Trade and the Portlarid-Alaska Trans
portation Company. On. being asked the
nature of the question at Issue, Mr. Moore
made the folowlng statement:
"About four months ago the matter of
a line with Alaska was brought up be
fore the people, but at that time there
was nothing done toward making it a
success, for tho general feeling of the
city seemed to be unfavorable. After the
articles of incorporation had been se
cured, and officers elected, the matter was
uroppea. unui aooui iwo manias laier,
when Mr. J. P. Rudd, secretary of the
Alaska Miners' Association, arrived in
Portland to act for his organization. His
proposition was that the association
would deposit $10,000 in a Portland bank,
and the Portland-Alaska Steamship Com-
. pany would agree to charter a steamship
and sent It to Isome not later than Sep
tember 25, to get a load of miners and
brjng them to this city. The miners were
to be transported for $35 apiece, and we
were to get as much freight totakeonthc
trip as the boat would carry. After some
negotiations, we secured an option on the
"Indiana" to do the work. The owners
agreed to let us have the snip for $375
a day, and to furnish meals for the
passengers at $1 a day per passenger.
Rudd also stipulated that we were to get
40 per cent of the proceeds, and the as
sociation CO per cent Wo signed a con
tract with him, and he went back to
Alaska to get the $10,000 which Is to be
deposited hero in Portland. Now the
shipowners come forward with the re
quest that wo bond ourselves to them, so
that they will not lose anything in the
matter If the enterprise falls to go
through. We should succeed, for Seattle
has shipped 70,000 tons of freight into the
Nome country this season, and there are
now 10,000 men la the city and surround
ing country, half of whom will come out
this season. If tho association does not
fill the ship, there ought to be no dif
ficulty In getlng a full load of passengers.
Then, too, we can get part of our cargo
going up. at Seattle."
Hero Mr. Jones stated that Rudd had
secured the help of a Seattle man to se
cure part of a cargo In that city.
"We ought to have some figures on the
subject from Mr. Moore," said Mr.
Spencer.
"Well, we can get SOO passengers on the
rejurn trip, that will give $2S,000. Freight
8hbul4 net $16,000, and adding the two to
gether, "we will have $11,000 as the gross
proceeds of the trip. The expenses will
be. for the ship, $11,250; coal, $2000; other
expenses. Including the meals, about $10,
000, so that tho total profits would be
about $20,000."
"We must take out insurance and
stevedores' charges, and other things that
may arise, so that the proceeds will only
be about $11,000," said Rathbone. "That
is on the supposition that we get half a
cargo of freight"
"Maybe the Seattle people will lower
the rates when they hear what we are
doing." said Mr. Devers.
"There will be too many coming down
for the boats to carry, and the number
that we will carry won't make any dif

ference to them," explained" Mr. Rath
bone. Mr. Moore stated that all of the miners
Would hnv tn sninfl nmtVi!nf hir (lur
ing their stay, probably $30 apiece, and !
that would mean $40,000 more money la
the .city this Winter. This would be
worth the risk of raising1 the bond for
tho shipowners.
"I think that Portland Is anxious
for the trade." said Mr. Devers, "but the
business men. don't seem to want to pay
for it When' I came here we had it all.
but we thought that it was a bother, so
j we let Jhe Seattle people take It and j
j were glad of It Then the boom came j
along and wehad a chance to repent of ,
j our action. I am willing to subscribe,
f but I don't like the Idea of going out and
i asking the people for the money. We can
. come out even on the matter anyway,
I even If there Is no profit."
i "In any case the less will be less than
$10,000. Beside we will have a line ready
for Spring," said Mr. Moore.
Here Mr. Lang wanted to know what
the liability would be. Captain Rath
bone estimated It to be about $6000, If
there were to be no freight or passengers
either way. If the association did not
show up with the money it pledged. It
would, be S16.C00.
Here Mr. Watson explained that the
bond of $15,000 that the shipowners
wanted was to secure themsedves against
4 the $11,250 that was to be paid them later
for snip rent
There was some talk of risk, and Mr.
Devers 3a!d, "Well. Seattle didn't have
anything to lose, so they went ahead on
the Alaska business and came out
ahead."
Mr. Lang was of the opinion that if
the association's $10,000 was here, that
Portland people would readily sign the
bond for the shipowners. In any case he
thought It would be a good plan io see
1 what could be raised before the money
I came down from the North.
There was some talk as to how long it
. would take to hear from Rudd, and as
I to how long the steamer owners would
hold their offer open. Mr. Rathbone
seemed to think they were Impatient for
the Portland people to act, and that they
would not hold the offer open much
longer. This being the case, Mr. Lang
suggested that the owners be bonded for
some small amount to keep the steamer
ready until the Portlanders could find out
if Rudd was really going to show up
with his check. No definite action was
taken on the matter, but it was under
stood that an effort be 'made to see who
would "back up the company, on the pres
ent plan, and also to see if the owners
could not be made k to hold their offer
open a little' longer. In the meantime
Mr. Moore will see what he can do In
the matter, and another meeting will be
called in a few days to hear a report on
the success of his efforts.
