Herzogin Cecelia But 68 Days Out From Montevideo. RACED TO SAVE A BIG CHARTER Over 12,000 at Stake Seven Sailers and Three Steamer Pat to Sea1 Yesterday SorcoHfn Bough Trip Marine Notes. If the managers of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company appreciate a good thing when they see it they will send the master and crew o their big school ship Herzogin Cecilia, whioh ar rived at Astoria Saturday, a handsome Christmas present. The Herzogin is a hlg four-master on her maiden trip, ajid she not only smashed all previous rec ords for a sailer between Montevideo and Portland, but she saved her owners something over 512,000 by doing it. This vessel ia the second school ship built for the big steamship company, and, like the Herzogin Sophie Charlotte, which came to Portland two years ago, she car ries a b'g crew of midshipmen and ap prentices who are sent to sea to learn the art of navigation. She sailed from Hamburg for Portland June 23, and, while working down the Atlantic met a gale which partially dismasted her. .She put Into Montevideo August -20 for 'repairs, and was unable to get away from there until October 6. Previous to the disas ter she had been chartered to load whtat at Portland at 28 shillings, and before she got away from the South American port rates bad declined to a low figure. Her cancelling date was December 31. and as It is something over 10,000 miles from Montevideo "to Portland by the sailing route, and the usual passage is about 100 days, the chances were decidedly against her reaching here. She -was racing for a" big stake, how ever, and not only reached port with plent3' of time to spare, but established a new record by sailing over the course In 63 days. The best run previously made, between the two ports by a sailer was 76 days, and the celebrated flyer Metropolis held the record. The performance of the Herzogin certainly indicates that the. schoolship Is in the hands of a master In every sense of the word, and the blue jacketed and brass-buttoned subjects of Emperor Bill who handled the ropes on the trip also diave a right to feel proud of the voyage. . The Herzogin Cecilia comes with gen eral cargo from Hamburg, and among other important Items on her manifest Is a consignment of 2000 tons- of salt. This shipment cut quite a figure In the recent Pacific Coast salt war, and now that the strife is settled, It will hardly dis turb matters. LONG-RANGE CHARTERING. Two French Ships Now In Port Taken for Loading? Next Fall. The French bark Lamorclere, which Is the fifth vessel to come to Portland from Puget Sound for cargo within the .past few months, will leave up from Astoria today. She has aboard. Just enough wheat to ballast her, so that she could make the voyage around from the Sound. The French owners of the Lamorclere, t as well as those of the Cannleblere, are look ing well ahead for business for their ships. Both of these vessels have been char- FOR ROOM EAST 'SIDE NEEDS MORE SCHOOL HOUSES AT ONCE. Taxpayers Will Have to Bnild Over f 100,000 Worth of New Strnctures to Supply Demand'. In the matter of schoolhouses, the tax payers of the Portland district will be up i airalnst It hard-next year. It Is esti- tered to load ore at New Caledonia for ; xhat If - an tne new buildings and iiiurope in me au oi im ai ias so. per ton. This is a higher rate than they could now secure from Portland for Eu rope, and is about the longest shot in freights that is reported" this season. The Cannleblere is now at Astoria ready for sea, but the Lamorclere will not get away from here before the middle of January. She goes to South Africa to discharge, and is accordingly a little closer to her ore cargo than the Can nleblere will be. The latter vessel has something like 22,000 miles to sail after leaving Portland before she reaches her ore c'argoj ' No new-crop wheat charters have been additions that will be asked for should bp authorized at the taxpayers' meeting it will necessitate an outlay of over S100.000,. and it may be doubted whether that will cover everything. It has been said that notwithstanding that the Board of Educa tion has been building two and three school buildings every year, the district is really today far behind in school facilities. The pressure this year has come from Albina and the Brooklyn portions of the district, and it seems to be conceded that j provisions will have to be made for relief or both.

The schoon er Mollle, carrying a crew of seven men, was struck by a gale yesterday morning. The vessel was heeled over until the stove in her cabin upset. This resulted in setting fire to the woodwork, and the schooner was soon a mass of flames. The crew-ran the Mollie for outer Gooseberry Island, an uninhabited island, off Boni vlsta Bay. Here the schooner was beached and the crew landed on the rocks. Residents on the mainland caught sight of the burning schooner, and the mall boat Dundee was dispatched to the res cue. The Dundee reached outer Goose berry Island yesterday evening. A heavy surf was breaking on the island, and only the captain of the Mollie risked the plunge- througn tne surf necessary to reach the Dundee's boat. The Dundee remained in the offing until this morning, when she succeeded In getting the other men of the Mollle's crew on board. These men were badly frost-bitten, as a result of their night's exposure. HAD A ROUGH PASSAGE. French Bnrk Snrconf Encountered Heavy Weather Crowning Pnciflc. The difficulty of the French bark Sur couf with the Canadian Customs Depart ment has been settled and the vessel will resume her voyage to Portland, and may reach Astoria todaT The vessel Is on'her maiden trip, having taken a cargo of oil out from Philadelphia and thence across the Pacific in ballast. She was 36 days in making the run across the Pacific The Victoria Colonist has the following regarding the bounty-earner: 'The Surcouf had a rough passage, but did not lose any spars or canvas, nor was she otherwise Injured in the gales. Shp had good weather across the Japan Sea to Sangar Straits, where she arrived nine days from the Korean port, but af ter passing between Nippon and Yezo into the North Pacific, heavy gales were encountered from the Northwest, but the bark weathered the storms. The. whole 'voyage across the Pacific was a success slon of gales, with tremendous seas, most ly Blowing from the northwest to south east. The bark arrived in the straits on Tuesday night. There were then two other vessels in ballast off the cape, a four-master and three-master,, both ships In ballast Inbound. The French bark Is chartered to load at Portland at a low rate, but the munificent bounty which makes the French vessels able to accept the present ruinous Tates without loss will make up her profits, The bounty provides a sum of 35 cents per ton for every 1000 miles, which means about $533 for every" 1000 miles logged by the Surcouf,. whether in ballast or load ed. Her run .from Philadelphia to Fusan and thence to -Victoria will net her con siderable, for the voyage from Fusan to this port will net her -a subsidy of nearly $5000. GRAIN FLEET LEAVING. Marine Notes. The schooner O. M. Kellogg arrived In at Astoria yesterday afternoon. She Is under charter to load lumber for Califor nia ports. The British steamship ' Lime Branch, carrying the largest cargo of wheat that ever left Portland, passed Fernando de Noronha December 8, en route for Europe. The British ship- Wiscombe Park, which anchored at Brookfield Saturday night, was late in getting under way yesterday, owing to a fog, and will not reach Port land until today. The French bark Jean Bart arrived up from Astoria yesterday morning and an chored In the stream. She was the tail ender of the 1901 grain fleet, and last year arrived in Portland December 13, one day earlier than on her present trip. The Austrian steamship Klek. which- is coming to Portland to load for South Af rica, was at Nanaimo coaling Saturday, and is due at Astoria this morning. She should reach Portland tonight, and as she will be given quick dispatch will get away before the end of the year. Seven Storm-Bonnd A'e.ssels Crossed Oct of River "Vjesterday Mornlnf? Pilots and tugboatmen at the mouth of the river were busy yesterday morning. and in the short space of two hours and SO minutes seven vessels carrying car goes valued at $5S0,O00 were hustled out .to sea, and are now out of the reach of the storms which have held them' up fbr so long. The procession was led by the British batk Ancenls, which -'goes to South Africa. She was followed by the Pass of Brander and the Ingeborg. also for South Africa, the Magdalene for Hull and the John Cooke, G. W. Wolff and Clan Galbraith for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders. Four of the vessels -were towed out and the others were sailed out by the pilots, a brisk east wind helping them along at a good galL Two vessels which have been In -the .river longer than some of those which sailed failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and were left at the post These unfortunates were the Madagascar, which had an accl dent to her windlass, and the Crown of Denmark, which had her cables fouled. The departure of the big fleet yester day leaves six vessels still in the lower harbor ready for sea. In the order of their arrival down they are the Madagascar, Crown of Denmark, Cannebiere. Isle of Arran, Glenesslln and Lodore. Four oth ers are finished In port or on their way down the river, but if the east wind holds for another 24 hours a thorough clean-up of the delayed fleet will probablybe made today. In addition to the seven sailers, which crossed out, three steamers, the Bedorfa, Homer and Elder, ' also sailed from Astoria for San Francisco yesterday. PAID TEN PER CENT. Japanese Steamship Company Made a Good Showing for Past Year. The Japanese steamship lines seem to be enjoying a fair degree of prosperity In spite of the present low freight rates. Mall advices received by the Empress of India at Vancouver Thursday state that the annual meeting of the Nippon, Yusen Kalsha Steamship Company (Japan Mail Steamship Company) was held at Toklo on Novnber 26, at which a dividend of 10 per cent was declared. Mr. Konk, the president, who occupied the chair, stated that the assets of the company had been swelled 5,000,000 yen since 1899, and six new liners for the European and Coast lines In the Orient were being built at Kobe, two of 6000 and 5000 tons being Intended for the Australian and European routes. "None are to be placed on the Yokohama- L "Victoria and Seattle line. The profits of the year amounted to 2,331,974 yen. In concluding his speech the president of the Japanese company said that as a ship ping trust had been formed in the United least, as new buildings and ample addi tions have been erected In those localities. In the Brooklvn district, including the cient amount of tonnage to go around j Stephens, Brooklvn and CJlnton buildings,, without the necessity of looking so far I facilities are taxed, and two extra rooms ahead. on th nutsldp. Pnwpll jinfl 'E'jst Elirht- teenth street, are occupied. The three main buildings are filled to overcrowding. An extra room wso fitted up In the Clinton Kelly, and It Is occupied. Pupils attending the supplementary building on Powell street are mainly from thet Clinton Kelly, while some are from Brooklyn. This latter building Is heavily overcrowded, and the building It3elf Is out of repair. In home of the rooms the plaster Is dropping off. The building has not been painted for number of years, and It presents a most shabby appearance. Last year an earnest appeal was made for an addition to this building, but owing to pressure .at Wood lawn, Eellwood and Sunnyslde, nothing could be done, but thl3 year conditions .are such that an addition will have to be made., Superintendent RIgler has said that the Brooklyn School should be made a 14-room buildlpg at the very least. By building an addition, as was tacitly promised last yeaV, relief might, it Is claimed, be afforded the Stephens building, which Is also crowded to overflowing, the office of the principal being occupied as a classroom. This could be easily accom plished by transferring pupils from the Stephens to the Brooklyn. Some relief to the Stephens has been afforded by 'trans fers to the new Central. There Is hardly a doubt but that the Board of Education will recommend that an addition be put up, probably at the Brooklyn, as Its neces sities seem the most pressing at this time. Xast year the board ma'de as little repairs as possible to the building, as It was considered waste of money If a new structure was to be built there the coming year. In the central portion of East Portland the new Central, with Its 18 rooms, Is fully occupied. It takes a considerable number of pupils from the Stephens and the North Central. At the latter buildings relief has been afforded by the erection of a portable classroom which comfortably houses about 45 pupils. In the northern portion of the district the problem of supplying school facilities is serious. The buildings here Include the Williams avenue, Highland, old Central (Mississippi avenue), and the Thompson. At Williams ayenue a portable classroom' has been built on the ground to furnish relief, and still the rooms of the main structure are crowded. Pupils attend from territory tributary to the Highland and the old Central In Lower Albina. Three extra classrooms have been provided 'at the Highland, and with four and one-half rooms of the main building over 800 pupils are carea ror with much difficulty. Prin cipal Standley estimates, after counting the pupils attending the Thompson and tne Williams aenue buildings, that It will take a 13-room building to provide ample room for all pupils that live In territory tributary Jo the Highland. This Is sur prising, when Itds considered that about four years ago When the Highland build ing was first moved to that place there were hardly pupils enough to fill up two rooms. The logic of events sepms to point to Highland as the point for- the erection of a new and modern schoolhouse of not less than 13 rooms (20 would be better) to meet present conditions -and the great growth that ia going forward in all that district. More than 100 dwellings have been built Just east of Union avenue within less than 10 blocks of the Highland, and the building operations there today are Just as active as ever before. A large building at this point would relieve all the surrounding scnooinouses. Even the Thompson, with Its 18 rooms. Is ..crowded with nearly SCO pupils, and yet some of the people there thought the Board of Education was wast ing money in erecting so larsre a bulldlnc. Citizens of Lower Albina will also ask for a new building. In the suburbs east of Portland the pressure on the schoolhouses is also felt. In district No. 5, Mount Tabor, the main building on West Avenue, Is crowded. wmie the Glencoe schoolhouse, of four rooms. Is all occupied but one room. The attenaance Is over 400. At the Montavilla schoolhouse the -attendance Is over 300, wnich is larger than ever before. Th eight rooms ere filled and nine teachers afe employed. The Ruesellvllle building WILL BE LIVELY CENTER. Lents Will Be tife junction of Two Branch Electric Railways. Lents, which is the present end of the Mount Scott electric railway, will be a center of Importance on completion of the Sprlngwater branch of the Oregon Water Power & RallwayCompany. Two branches of the company will form a Junction at Lents, the branch by way of Hawthorne avenue, and the other one by way of Sell wood., The latter line makes nearly a straight course from Wlllsburg, passing south of the Portland Woolen Mills. Lents will also be the distributing center for one of the largest rural free delivery districts In the county, Including Pales tine (South Mount Tabor), Woodstock. Ivanhoe and Tremont, where-at present there are local postoffices. Fred Spooner will be the carrier for this district when ever the free delivery service is ordered, which is expected at any day. Mall can be delivered twice a da"y In this district, as It will be sent out there on the electric cars. The branch which goes by way of Sellwood will be the freight line, which will make Lents a considerable shipping point for the surrounding district. Already there Is considerable building going on there. At Woodmere three cottages had-just been finished when they were sold. With a fine Jiew schoolhouse and railroad construction in all directions, the neighborhood Is coming- to the front and recovering from the severe fires of last Summer.

Edward Curran, of Forest Grovot will probably be called as the regular pastor of the Mlssls3lppl-Avenue Congre gational Church, Albina, to succeed Rev. EL T. Taggart. who resigned. At the morning services yesterday a vote was taken when Mr. Curran received all the votes cast. Howeyer, owing to the small attendance, It was decided not to consider It a definite call, but at a better attended meeting the matter will again be consid ered. Mr. Curran has occupied the pulpit several times and has pleased, the congre gation. It Is thought very probable that. the call will be extended to him. Domestic and Fbreifrn Ports. ASTORIA, Dec. 14.

Shooter land ed at this port In the British ship Crown of Denmark about two weeks ago, and through a firm of shipping agents he se cured a berth with Captain Toye in the Allerton, carrying steel rails. The ship is lying near the spur track, where Shoot er afterward lost his life. Yesterday aft ernoon he and a shipmate named Ralph Norman stepped ashore, and were on their way back to the ship about 9 o'clock. Norman was slightly ahead, and had one foot on the gangplank, when he heard a cry, and saw Shooter in the act of stumbling over the edge of the gang-4" plank, and the next moment fall between the ties of the spur track. Norman raised the" alarm, and he and his shipmates lowered a boat and saw Shooter's body floating in the water near by. He was dead, and must' have struck his head on a projecting beam. Coroner Finley was sent for, and he took the body to his un dertaking rooms. Ladysmith, B. C, Is Burning?. VICTORIA, B. C, Dec 14.

It Is desired to secure the attendance of Policeman Nelson Fires a Shot at the Younpr Burglar, Who Imme diately S: rrendcrs. When a bullet from Policeman Nelson's revolver whizzed past him, L. HIckey, 19 years old, of Goose. Hollow, sulkily sur rendered himself yesterday morning, shortly after 3 o'clock, after he had brok en Into H. I. Larson's saloon, at the 'northwest corner of Sixteenth and Wash ington streets. He bent his screwdriver in an attempt to break open the nickel-ln-thc-slot machine, and his total ibooty when caught consisted of a package of cigarettes; although Larson has missed ?5 ot his money. Larson locked up his saloon as usual at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, and Is cer tain that he did not leave any of his cus tomers there when he leftfor home. Po liceman Nelson was patrolling his beat, when he noticed that the gate of Larson's fence was closed, and this raised his sus picions. He walked on tiptoe to one of the rear windows, and when he saw one of the .panes, of glass broken, he peeped in and saw the shadow of a man inside. Drawing his revolver. Nelson went up to the broken window and took aim at the shndow and fired. Then he said: "Come out of that, "or I'll kill you." "I will come ' If you won't shoot any more." said a voice Inside. "All right. Step lively," replied the p6 Hceman, and the next moment Hickey stepped forth. On being searched, the prisoner had a bent screwdriver and a package of cigarettes in his possession, and he said: "What's the matter? When the boss locked up his saloon, he left me behind by mistake. That's all." By this time Policeman Conners had heard the report of the shot, and he came running up. When he saw the-prisoner, he said: "You're the young man I mot at 1 o'clock and told to go home." "Aw, I don't care," returned Hickey, defiantly. "I don't care if I do get a year or two in Jail. You won't help to get me out." Larson was sent for, and when he came and opened hl3 saloon it was found that HIckey's screwdriver fitted exactly with marks found on the slot-machine, where Hickey had tried to break it open. He had failed, however, but taking up the stDve poker, he smashed open the door of the slot-machine. , It Is a' mystery what became of the $5 missing from the money box. Nelson sent a 'phone message for the patrol wagon, and Jailer Johnson took Hickey to the City Jail, where a charge of robbery Is chalked against him.

In the suit of the Meier & Frank Com. .pany and the Mead estate heirs agilnst the Cuy of Portland, to. enjoin the clos ing of the lower approach to the wharf at the foot of Morrison street on the Wesl Side, a demurrer to the complaint was argued before Judges Frazer, Sears and George Saturday. The plaintiffs contend that under an ordinance passed by the Common Council in 1878, they were granted the privilege of building wharves at the foot of Morrison street, and were granted the use of the street down to the river for approaches to the wharves. They assert that the building of " the wharves was a public benefit, and that the owners agreed to build and maintain a pontoon free of charge for the use of small boats. Another contention by the plaintiff is that the closing of the lower approach will destroy valuable, property rights. Deputy City Attorney J. P. Kavanaugh, in behalf of the defendants, argued that the ordinance granting the privileges to the defendants did not establish the grade of Morrison street as it runs to the lower wharf. The defendants claim that It was beyond the power of the Council to grant the use of the street to the plaintiffs for private purposes, as the streets belong to the public. Mr. Kavanaugh made a long speech, and cited many authorjtles. S. B. Llnthlcum, attorney for the Mead esfate and others, argued that the lower approach to the wharf cannot be closed. The attorney said the Idea was to have the wharves on the river facilitate traffic from one side to the other. The plaintiffs were entitled to access to their property and could not be shut out from It. They were entitled to have boats land at the wharf; and any Interference with that. right was an Interference with the prop erty right. Counsel cited a New York case where the court decided that- the power to regu late does not include the power to de stroy, and said In this case the power to regulate cannot be used as the power to close up. Mr. Llnthlcum said vested rights cannot be Impaired. He said they had been allowed to continue the use of the lower approach to the wharf after the building of the bridge. Charles H. Carey, attorney for the Meier & Frank Company, followed Mr. Llnthl cum. 'He spoke for some time, and agreed that a decision by the Supreme Court Inj the David Brand case, closing the lower entrance to the wharf at the foot of Mad ison street, would not apply in this case. There was a vast difference, he said, be tween the two. The Legislative act for the Morrison-street bridge did not change the street grade, as the approach does not conform to the grade of the street. After covering this point, Mr. Carey called attention to the fact that the grant to build the Morrison-street bridge was a floating grant, and provided that the bridge could be erected at the foot of any Street within 20 blocks south of Morrison street, and the bridge company could have built the bridge a mile from the place where It did build It. The attorney asserted that In the Madison-street case matters were different. The property-owners did not Improve and did not build out, but confined their wharf line to the north and south lines of Mad ison street. The attention of the court 'was also called to the fact that the Mad ison-street bridge act specified "Madison stVeet. It was possible that this act changed the grade of the street, and did away with the lower approach, but not so. In the case of the Morrison-street bridge act. City attorney McNary, in -response, stated that the question was what right the city "has to grant rights to private In dividuals. The Brand case covered every point involved. The Legislature had par amount authority over the raising or low ering of grades of streets. The attorney contended that it was not a question xt riparian rights, which did not attach to this case. The law of riparian rights granted vto property-owners the right to build wharves out In front of property owned by them, and had nothing to do with streets. Mr. McNary spoke for some time, answering the points made by tpe opposing side.
