tary McZsaac Upheld-
The Manufacturers' Association Is still
In the fight for lower distributive freight
rates. On October 15 the railroads granted
a reduction of 10 per cent, but Xhe manu
' facturcrs are in the game stronger than
ever, backed up by other commercial or
ganizations. That Tacoma and Seattle will
- aid. there is no doubt.
'ine directors 01 ine association xiciu
their monthly meeting last night. Tney
approved Secretary llclsaac's position in
his recent dispute with G. Y. Harry, pres
ident of the State Federation of Labor,
over the drj'dock question. President Mel
len's alleged sneer at the Lewis and Clark
- Fair was dropped from the discussions of
the association as unworthy of further
consideration. Directors present -were:
President W. H. Morrow. D. 31. Dunne, A.
H. Devers, E. II. Kilham. George Uw-
1 rehce. Jr., XT. H. McMo.nies. Dan Kella
her. A. E. Gantenbein, F. L. Knight, O. E.
Heintz. It. J.' Holmes and Secretary C. H.
Mclsaac.
The railroads made about a 10 per cent
reduction in distributive freight rates Oc
tober 15. But shippers lhiuk they are en
titled to oven lower charges. Both, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Manufac
turers' As?oc!ation are working for this
reduction. They have invited the co-opera-tlon
of Seattle and Tacoma .commercial
"bodies. The Tacoma Chamber of -Commerce
has responded favorably and the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Manu
facturers Association are yet to he heard
frnm.
RPfrptarv tn tvrlrp -ic-hln-.tn Rpnttip hen
a response shall have been, received., the J
association will meet again to devise plans
Wtar a.-canference between the thrc-e cities.
Shippers who have complaints to make are
invited to submit them in "writing, to either
of the commercial bodies of the city.
t 'There is room yet for big Improve
ment." said the gentlemen.
The Tacoma Chamber wrote as fellows:
"This is a move In the right dirccilbn
and you can be assured of our hearty co
operation In evei v way. "We will send dele
gates -to any meeting having the reduc
tion of these rates in view. The matter
has been Inaugurated in Portland, and
you may feel that the meeting should be
held In your city, and we agree that this
gives you claim on It Wc will cheerfully
send our representatives to your city."
The Per land Chamncr has allied Itself
with thfc manufacturers. To their invita
tion to co-operate the transportation com
mittee of the chamber has responded:
"This committe br.a succeeded In getting
reduction? in distributive rates, but we are
weu iivvure icai we nave not none an tnat
there is to be done. We should be inter
ested In sending a committee to the meet
ing you propose. There are many things
that should be looked after Jn the interests
-of the manufacturers, and this committee
will do all In its power to help them."
After transacting the above weighty
busincso the manufacturers indulged in
several lighter matters. O.. E. Heintz
Started a breeze nf humor bv n.;kfrnr-whnt
snouiu De aone aoout tnc treatment ot
Mayor Williams by the Prince cf Slam.
"We ought to go after His UppI5hne3,"
declared Mr. Heintz.
A. H. Devers The Oregonian fixed him
all right. Hc'o had chough.
Mr! Heintz But we ought to write to
King- Chulalongliorn (here the speaker took
another breath) and tell him what a
naughty boy his s3n has been. v
D. M. Dunne I "saw the Prince. He's
just as fat as one of those plum puddings
that are tied up in a ba?r.
Mr. Devers Mr. Dunne sat in the
same theater box with him.
Mr. Dunne And His Highness said he
wouldn't' receive anybody except the
Irish.
The directors then passed to discussion
of President Mellen's alleged interview
with a local paper. Sr. Mellcn was
reported . to have said that the Lewis
and Clark Fair reminds him of Fourth of
July fireworks and nobody there to see
them.
The association two weeks ago sent a
letter to Mr. Mellcn. asking him whether
the Veport was true. Mr. Mellen has not
responded and the directors do not be
lieve that he will take any notice of the
alleged interview.
"The whole matter is a farce, anyway."
declared A. E. Gantenbein. and the di
rectors voted down a motion to address
another letter to Mr. Mellen on the
subject.
On motion of Mr. Devers, the position
of Secretary Mclsanc in the late drydock
dispute with G. Y. Harry was approved.
Mr. O. E. Heintz sounded the only op
posing voice.
The secretary's monthly report showed
a "balance on hand of $123 45.
A letter from a Los Angeles' man asked
about the opening in Portland for' a
pickle factory. The secretary had re
sponded as follows:
"There, are three ptckle factories in
Portland, all doing a good business. I
do not, however, think there is an opn-.
ing here for a small pickle factory."
BOY FALLS UNDER CAR.
David "Warren Sustains Serious In
juries. David Warren, the S-year-old son of
Henry Warren, was caught under, the
front end of a Brooklyn car at Union
avenue and East Morrison street yester
day afternoon and seriously, if not fatal
ly. Injured before the car could be stopped.
,He made a dash across the track -as the
car was approaching, when he was struck
and thrown on the track, in which posi
tion he was pushed some distance under
the car wheels. By the bystanders it
seemed the boy would surely be killed,
hut the motorman brought the car to a
stop In time, and the apparently lifeless
boy "was first carried into Baumer's store,
on the corner on Union avenue and East
Morrison street, and from thence to his
home. 50 East Second street, near East
Oak. There It was found that he had not
been killed.
Drs. Chambers and Batcheller and Dr.
Panton, surgeon, for the City Suburban
Railway Company, were called. They
found that the boy had sustained a very
serious injury In the groin, where there
was a bad gash. It jvas decided to re
move him to the Good Samaritan Hospi
tal. There his Injury was dressed. It
was the Judgment of the physicians' that
the case was critical, but whether the boy
would lire could not be told. The outcome
seemed to depend on -whether there had
been serious Internal injuries.
UPPER ALBINA IMPROVEMENTS.
Union Avenue to Be GraVelcd Tilla
mook "Street to Be Extended.
Union avenue is ,to be Improved from
Weldier to Morris street by gravel, and a
petition containing signatures of two-thh-cls
of the property-owners will go to
the Ctt$r Council and take the place of
the oneor plank. Steps will also be
taken at once to open Tillamook street
through Montgomery Addition . to a con
nection witft the Albina ferry.
President Eastes,j of the Upper Albina
and Irvtogtbn Improvement Association,
sal'l yesterday that a petition for the im-
provement o Union avenue from Weidler
to Morris street by gravel had teen cir
culated the past week and had been signed
by fully two-thirds of the property-owners.
This petition, he says, will supersede
the petition for plank on that street filed
some time ago, which had gon'e to the City
Engineer for estimates. Mr. Eastes said
that only two property-owners had de
clined to sign the 'petition for gravel.
There are some property-owners who are
absent and could not be seen. This new
petition will go to the City Council to
day, and will be pushed along without
delay.
"Our next movement," said Mr. Eastes,
"will be to open a street through to a
connection with the Albina ferry. Tilla
mook Etreet is the direct one, and we shall
work to get it opened and improved. We
need this street badly. This central part
of Albina is cut off both from bridges and
ferry. Our organization is already doing
good work. We hope to get a large mem
bership, for we have other things which
we desire to undertake for this com
munity. We hope every property and
citizen Interested will come .out Thursday
evening."
Tillamook street is opened to Montgom
ery Addition. It would' pass through
about the center of the Goldsmith-street
bridge if extended. About eight years ago
an effort was made to open It through the
Montgomery land, and it would, have suc
ceeded, but for the hard times. The brush
and. timber were cut west from Vancou
ver avenue.
NATIONAL GRANGER MAY COME.
Effort "Will Be Made to Sccnre His
Prewcnce.nt Stnte Convention.
A 3trong effort will be made to secure
the presence of the National master of
the Grange at the. proposed Grange insti
tute, which will be held in Portland prob
ably in connection with the convention of
the State Horticultural Society In Janu
ary. Measures have already been taken
in, that direction. .
H. C. Welch, chairman of the Grange
Institute committee, said yesterday that
thp outlook for a great gathering of farm
ers In Portland Is very' encouraging. He
has secured the promise of Tielp from
Henry E. Dosch and other prominent men.
Mr. Dosch assured Mr. Welch that he
could rely on his assistance in making the
institute one of great benefit to the
Grangers of the whole state. Mr. Dosch
expressed the opinion that it was Port
land's opportunity for establishing close
and pleasant relations with the farming
community by welcoming the Grangers
and making them "feel that Portland is a
part of the. state. and-4hat Portland is in
terested In the Granger.1?,
There is little doubt but the joint meet
ing of the Granges and State Horticultural
Society can be arranged along satisfac
tory and harmonious lines. This is the
judgment of members of'tho Grange com
mittee and of the society. It Is hoped that
more" satisfactory results can be secured
from a joint meeting than from separate
gatherings.
G. B. Leedy, state master of the Grange,
who has been attending the National
Grange at Lansing, Mich.. Is expected
home by December 10, "and then Active
steps will be taken toward framing the
programme. Chairman "Welch Is confident
that the National master. wiH be able to
be present at the Grange institute. This
will probably be known definitely on the
return of Mr. Leedy, state master. "His'
presence in ' Oregon," said Chairman
Welch, "would be a great thing for our
organization, and I shall do all in my
power to secure his attendance."
AN ECCLESIASTIC GRAND JURY.
Organized- to Adjnst Difficulties of
Second Baptist Church.
The Baptist conference council, com
posed of 'ministers and laymen from the
Portland churches, held a meeting yes
terday forenoon In the. lecture-room of the
Second Baptist Church to take steps to
adjust the disagreements in that church.
Among those present were Rer. Alexan
der Blackburn, D. D., Rev. C. A. Wooddy,
D. !.. Rev. M. Bledsoe, Jame3 Failing. H.
C. Welch and others. The session was
behind closed doors, but It is understood
that only preliminary work was done
preparatory to the Investigation which is
to follow.
It Is understood that the faction which
voted to accept the resignation of Rev.
William E. Randall, the pastor, does not
approve of the council, as it is in the
majority, and holds that the minority
should submit. It looks as 'if there may
be a divided church, and that either one
faction or the other will have to withdraw
from the Second Church, form a hew one
or Join some other church. The two fac
tions have been at outs since the resig
nation of Rev. M. M. Lewis, and they
seem wider apart now .than ever.
No member of the council would say
anything concerning the meeting yester
day, when or how the sittings will be
held in future, but the council will inquire
into the condition of affairs and make a
diligent effort to reach grounds for ad
justment. It is unpleasant work for all
concerned, but the other Portland
churches are tired of the perpetual row in
the Second Church, and it would bo safe
to venture that this "ecclesiastical grand
jury" will suggest a drastic? remedy to
end the trouble.
Completing Factory Bnlldinj?.
The Neustadter w Bros.' factory build
ing on. Grand avenue and. East Taylor
street will soon be occupied. The main
portion of the building is completed and
the interior finishing is being done. " It is
lighted by nearly 40 large windows on the
side and the ends, and the inside Is paint
ed white. Arrangements are being made
for electric power for operating, the many
sewing machines which will be used. A
concrete sidewalk Is being laid In front
of the building. Between 200 and 300 op
eratives will be employed.
To Hold Birthday Social.
, On Friday evening, December 5, the Ep
worth League of Montavilla- Methodist
Church will give a -birthday social. An at
tractive programme has been prepared in
the way of literary and musical numbers.
.The programme Is to commence promptly
at S P. M. Refreshments will be served In
the new parsonage after the entertain
ment. East Side Notes.
The Centenary bazaar .wilL open Fri
day evening in the Logus building, cor
ner Grand avenue and East Washington
streets, with a very fine collection of
both ornamental and useful articles at
reasonable prices. Admission free.
Rev. L. E. Rockwell, D. D., left yester
day evening for Ocean Park, where he
will remain till the first of the year. His
vfite Is already there. Dr. Rockwell, who
Is presiding elder for Portland district,
will put In the month in that part of his
district.
The hot-air apparatus for heating thp
Sunnyside School was tested yesterday In
the presence of Director R. K. Warren,
and It worked satisfactorily. Electric fans
are provided which force the heat to every
room. If this system of ventilation is
found satisfactory, it will be used In the
Woodlawn building.
Advance in Cost of Board.
NEW YORK, Dec 2. Owing to sharp
increases in the retail prices of nearly all
common articles of household supply, es
timated roughly at 23 per cent since Jan
uary 1 of this year, boarding-house keep
ers have made, says the Herald, a general
Increase Injthelr rates of $1 a -week. Near
ly everything required in the kitchen
shows, according to statistics, an advance

TO GRANT A RIGHT OF WAY
County Conrt "Will Act on Petition
of Hlllsboro Line.
The petition of the West Sida & Su
burban Railroad Company for right of
way adjoining the Cornell road begin
ning at 'the head of Lovejoy street and
extending a distance of 180 feet will
be granted at the meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners today. Thp
company will build a roadway 15 feet
wide in the gulch lying alongside of the
county road, and also agrees to widen the
county road at one point to a width of
AO feet The railroad will also cross the
county road fcy means of a trestte and
elevated roadways o'er '20 feet high, but
this will be short and will not in any
manner Interfere with the roa"d. ,
On Thursday the County Commission
ers will go to Bridal Veil and look
Into the matter of relocating the road
to Palmer's mill. The mill has been
mov.ed since the .forest fires and this ne
cessitates a change of the road. Most
of the business in that section of farm
ers, and others is done in connection with
the mill. The farmers sell all manner of
produce to the people 'employed at the
mill, and the road must be relocated to i
accommodate the people who will travel
over it. There was one" bridge burned
at Bridal Veil., and two at Brower by
the forest fires. , "

reputation of The Oregonian. and for
once The Oregonian. has failed of ac
curacy in its Information. The editorial
has caused. deep regret to the many sub
jects of his Majesty King Oscar of
Sweden and Norway residing In Oregon.
I will not discuss the questions in
volved in King Oscar's decision In the
Samoan arbitration or the Justness or
correctness- of his decision. I should
like, however, to quote the following
from an editorial in the 1 San Francisco
Argonaut of December 1 as showing thajt
the views of leading newspapers differ
upon these questions. 1 The Argonaut
says: ,
It Is no more pleasant for a nation to lose In
arbitration than It Is for an Individual to fall
In. an action at law, but the consolation re
mains that. In this case, It will be both cheap
er and pleasanter than either to have won or
lost the cause In warfare. It is worthy of
note, also, that there is respectable opinion
even In ihls country that the royal arbitrator
made no mistake. Dr. Jordan, who made a
study of the conditions In Samoa during his
trip to the islands last Summer, stated in his
lecture last week, at. Stanford University, that
he. believed the award of Kins Oscar to be
"absolutely Just," America and England being
unquesuonaoiy wrong in their policy toward
the islanders.'
I desire particularly to take extfm-
tions upon King Ospar personally, r beg
to assure you that his Majesty Is not
as you term him. "a crank with a crown
on his head and one of the pet poodle
aogs oi me uerman kennel." Neither Is
his Majesty "a stupid man and, a syco-
pnant or tne German court." as you as
sert, and your reflection upon "King Os
car's mental powers" Is exceedingly wide
of the mark. Your ' aspersions upon his
Majesty are unfounded. .He Is a man
of noble character and blameless private
ana puojic life; beloved of his neonle.
and respected by all the nations of the
earth. His learning and character are

CLAIMS MANY MILLIONS.
London, Lawyers Sne Huntington Es
tate for 9123,000,000.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. Surrogate Thomas
hears evidence today on 'the questions
raised in a motion fnr nn nrlnr tn oVinti,
cause why an inventory of the estate of
the late Collls P. Huntington should not
b
tiled in a proceeding instituted bv
Walter Morehead, a London lawyer, now
a citizen of "the United States, agalngt
the Huntington, estate to recover about
5123.000,000, alleged to have been wrong
fully diverted from the old Central Pa
cific Railroad Company. 1
Attorney Maxwell Evarts, representing
the executors of the Huntington estate,
in his argument claimed it had not yet
been proven . that "Walter Morehead was
a creditor of the estate; that the statute
of limitations barred the presentation,
and that, for that reason, if no other,
the proceeding should be dismissed-
Attorney Robert E. Cutting represented
Morehead and his associates in the argu
ment on the motion. He claimed the
statute of limitations did not bar the pro
ceedings, because, although the cause of
action arose many years ago, the knowl
edge of the facts constituting It did not
come to the petitioners until 1S94. The
petitioners were given until Friday next
to file a brief.
