JOBBERS WILL GO IN PULLMAN Long Visit to Establish Friendly Re Jaiions In Eastern Washington Covetous Eyes on Portland's Trade n Eastern Oregon. WAiXiA WALL.A, "Wash., Nov. L (Spe-eLeXV-Informatlon reaches here that a eteady campaign npalnst Portland's iron r&sp oo Walla Walla's -wholesale trade le to bo waged this Full, and Winter by tfaowna and BeatUe Jobbers. The first pan of this campaign Tras flred -when the extensively patronized Sound excur elon -was run hero dnrlnjr race vreek, the Northern Pacific, -rrith an eye to building tip fnture freight and passenger traffic, rintlnr n unprecedentedly low rate of for the round trip, when the regular $ore is threa times that mnch. In tho Eouni cities now preparations ar said io be tinder way for the second hostile ot against what has been Portland's atle- ftluet the middle 'COs, when ttalla Vfcll&'s outeldtt trade relation first bo C&A. A tccr f a Polhnan carload of Tacoma Sbbbtrs la reported by local railway of fcclalg to bo In 6tore Inside of six weeks. Tho Tacoma men, abont OT in number, ex pect rb jot cp $75 or H00 each and charter & ipeeiaJ car with full equipment on rhich they will be brought into South asttrn Washington's wealthy territory l4 nhtxnted around at leisure to drum up fcuelnesB.

The attack every case is to bo made, not on the Inland cities" eastern trade connection?, put 6n the bills of goods brought in from the Oregon metropolis. The Tacoma ex- ursltn Is to be followed in short order by 1 similar expedition from Seattle. Railroad men are suggesting that thesa po kept up at regular intervals until a eteafiy business basis is established. Walla Walla railroad and business men -Interviewed estimate that Seattle and Tacoma together now get about 10 per cent of Wclla Walla's outside trade in ell lines, while firms east of the Rocky Mountains get about 35 per cent more. This leaves the large proportion of 55 per cent, which goes to Portland and San "TanpIsco, making the former town the Llg Jobbing center for tho inland city, from San Francisco, representatives of coffee, pplce and special line firms come frequently, but Portland has the big monopoly of the trade in staples, nearly all Walla Wfclla's groceries coming from ihat point. This makes apparent the reason for tho found anxiety of the Sound cities. That their fight to divert trade will be a hard cne can scarcely be doubted and local people Interested in seeing Portland re gain the balance of power are quite con cerned. EXPLAINS THE SIGNATURE. "Williams Says He But Corrected an Error Made by Miss Nesbitt. WHATCOM, Wash., Nov. L Norman Williams, who was indicted by the Fed eral grand Jury at Portland, Or., last Thursday on a charge of forging the name of Miss Alma Nesbitt, who resided en an adjoining claim, to his in Wasco County, Or., to a homestead relinquish ment, refuses to make any statement re garding the affair for publication. To a riromlnent member of a fraternal order o which Williams belongs, however, ha Cve this explanation. He says that he mado a trade with Miss Xcsbitt by which she exchanged the corth half oi her claim for the north balf of his. In the signing of the legal documents necessary to the relinquish ment of her half she placed her name In the wronsr place, and to remedy this de fect Williams merely signed her name Cxtr again in the proper place. Whether or not he committed a technical wrong tho Government was none the loser, for bb afterword relinquished his entire hold ings to it and did not profit by tho ransa.ctts. So far aa tho statement that Miss Nes bitt and her mother were never seen after he left Hood Risr with them Is concerned and that their disappearance (s surrounded in mystery, he pronounces A canard. He says that he afterward fcrought them back to the Hood River (depot from their homestead and that he can produce witnesses who saw them there. One of these witnesses, a trans fer man, Williams states, moved their baggago for them after the date when the Bo-called disappearance took place. PACKED FrSH WITHOUT LICENSE uU Against Elmore Company So Alleges. TxTiTjAMOOK, Or., Nov. L (Special.) A .suit "was filed in the Circuit Court against tho Elmore Packing Company charging It with engaging in packing sal oon without first obUinlng a license. The Offense waa alleged to hare been com mitted in Tillamook County, September This is the came case In which W. W. Ridelagh waa arrested and tried in Jus tice Alley's Court for packing fish without a license, when the Jury acquitted him, Bidclagh testifying that he was only act ing in the capacity of superintendent of the Elmoro Packing Company, and that the fish wcro only salted enough to keep them fresh until they reached Astoria. The Elmore Packing Company has taken put a. license since the alleged violation of the Jaw, and would havo done so be fore only Ridelagh claims ho had an un derstanding with Master Fish .Warden Van Dusen, that he would do so after his tetum from Tillamook, but Instead of doing this tho Fish Warden had Ridelagh arrested, the Circuit Court meets No rember 8. CLACKAMAS HIT HARD. -Supreme Court Decision on Tax Law Finds County In Bad Shape. OREGON Crrr, Or., Nov. L (Special.) r-By the decision of the Supreme Court that under the Phelps tax law no tax levy can b made prlpr to January 1, 1504, flackamas County finds Itself in poor cir cumstances. With an indebtedness ap proximating S1S0.O0O. the county will be Obliged to Issue warrants to meet current expenses, and at the same time allow the Interest to accumulate on outstanding Tvarrants, unless a special session of the ptate legislature Is convened and un ravels the entanglement. This complicated condition of affairs is pie more "unfortunate at this time in this county, perhaps than in any other county in the state, for the reason that the as sessment roll this year represents more than double the total of assessable values on the roll of a year ago. By levying a reasonable tax levy, the county had an exceptional opportunity to provide for all current expenses, and at tho same time discharge a considerable amount of the warrant indebtedness. Clackamas County taxpayers will eager ly await an adjustment of the complicat ed condition that will admit of the collec tion In this county of a tax on the roll as prepared by Assessor Nelson, and which Is so representative of the true values of this county.

MAKES PUBLIC HIS REPORT' Recommends That Suit Be Brought Against AJI Complimentary Stock holders and Promoters to Re cover for Company's Debts. NEW YORK, Nov. L Sensational alle gations of willful misstatements, falsifi cation, swindling and fraud in the or ganization of flotation of the United States Shipbuilding Company, of attempts to rolsjead and deceive the Investing pub llo by erroneous prospectus statements and of a deliberate- plan to wreck the company by withholding the earnings of the Bethlehem Steel Company are con tained in the report of Receiver James Smith, Jr., of the United States Ship building Company, made public here to day. Tho report concludes with tho recom mendation that suit be brought against all persons who received stock of tho company without paying full value there for, Including the promoters of the con solidation, the vendors of the constituent-plants and Charles M. Schwab, to recover from them such amount as neces sary to pay th debts of the company in full. Receiver Smith also recommends the Bale of the Crescent Shipyard plant in New JersGy and the Harlan fc Holllngs worth plant at Wilmington. Del., subsi diary plants now In operation, to avoid further loss by depreciation and the en forcement of a receivership for the Beth lehem Steel Company to Insure the pay ment of dividends on the Bethlehem stock held by the United States Shipbuilding Company. In the words of the report, the organization of the company is charac terized as an "artistic swindle." Recelrer Smith stated that the value of the plants, their earnings and working capital given in alleged reports of expert accountants varv a much from nrtiml figures "aa to Impel the belief that the ii(,uits Huru wiiii any missiaiea, mat it is extremely doubtful If such accountants' reports were aubmitted at the organiza tion of the company: that the organiza tion was effected by dummy stockhold ers, directors and officers: that utAtcmntR in the prospectus Issued on June 14, 1903, were incorrect: that for nronrtv worth $12,441,516 the Shipbuilding Company had In siocks ana bonds 67,937,000; that "the ac commodating directors of the United States Shipbuilding Company in acquir ing these comoanies dellhrjitiIv rv away manv million dollars in stolen and bonds of their company;""wholesale plun der, tne receiver terms It, to a few per sona and that .so far as tha BftthlMim Steel Company is concerned, "its earn ings have been withheld In a deliberate attempt to wreok the United States Ship building Company." in connection with the purchase of the stock of the Union Iron Works, of San Francisco, Henry T. Scott and Irving M. Scott were to agree to enter into a contract with tho Shipbuilding Company not to compete with it In its business, and not to employ their capital or to person ally engage in any shlpyardlng or build ing business for the period of ten years, and, the company was to contract to enr gage G. W. Dickie, R. Forsythe and John T. Scott as officers or managers for five years at annual salaries of $10,000; W. H. Gould, as mining engineer for five years, at $10,000 per year; Lawrence E. Scott, as assistant constructor at $5000 per annum, for five years; S. P. Scott, as assistant to the president of the Shipbuilding Com pany for five years at the annual salary of $5000; H. A. Scott, as assistant to the englneer-ln-chlef for five years, at $3000 per annum, and Edward Gunn, as asslst and chief draughtsman for three years at $3000. The action of the Bethlehem Company In withholding earnings of upward of $2, 000,000 annually was. says Receiver Smith, "with the apparent purpose of bringing about the destruction of the Shipbuilding Company. That the execution of the $10, 000,000 mortgage and bond by the Bethle hem Company to secure Mr. Schwab at the time of the consolidation is a. fraud upon the creditors of the Bethlehem Com pany and otherwise void because of Schwab's control of the directors, tho re ceiver says he is advised. The report concludes with a discussion of the constituent companies under the receivership, showing that the receiver had possession of all but the Bath and Union plants, but claiming that so long as the present board of directors of the Bethlehem Company is retained no benefit will accrue to the receivership from this company. The receiver Is convinced that the present interests In control are whol ly hostile to the shipbuilding company, are endeavoring to circumvent legal pro ceedings, and that a separate receivership is necessary. SANTA FE BRINGS TO TEEMS. Southern Pacific Will Uso Cars to Carry Traffic. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1. (Special.) In Its efforts to keep the trade out of the hands of the Santa Fe; which has the necessary cars, the Southern Pacific has taken off a number of passenger trains, and has established prohibitive tariffs on lumber from Oregon, and on coal from Utah and Wyoming, in order to obtain engines with which to haul through freight. With all of these changes, the com pany still finds that It cannot handle shipments destined to Eastern points, ow ing to the congestion of all divisions. It is to endeavor to put an end to this "dog-in-the-manger" policy that the Santa Fo made vehement protest, and the outcome Is that a traffic agreement has already been quietly effected, and will be ratified at a meeting tc- be held here this week. President E. P. Ripley, Vice-President Paul Morton, General Manager A. G. Wells and Traffic Manager W. B. BIddle, all of the Santa Fe, are now headed this way on a special train, while E. H. Har rlman. the president, and J. C. Stubbs, the traffic director of the Southern Pa cific, are also traveling Westward. A hint has been dropped that Harrlman Is not altogether a stanch supporter of the Southern Pacific freight officials, and blames' some of the local men for Involv ing his company in the wrangle with the Santa Fe. The terms of the agreement, while not positively known, are said to be the use of Santa Fe cars by the Southern Pacific in California and Oregon and the hauling to santa Fe points where freight caa bo rapidly taken EaBt. PULLMAN STUDENT PRANKS. Rival Classmen Combine Against Au thorlty That Seeks to Interfere. SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. 1. Special.) two nunarea and titty students from the State College last night made matters in teresting for M.arshal Baymlller and his three deputies, giving them an unwel come shower bath because of interference in the annual contest for supremacy be tween sophomores and freshmen. Then the students hauled every movable ve hicle to a common point in tho main street of Pullman, despoiled the city watering carriage of Ejieels and wound up the night by moving several cords of cordwood to the vehicle corral., Freshmen numbering about 50 had de cided upon Halloween night to take the sophomores in hand and demonstrate their superiority. Both classes organized and met in front of the First National Bank. The kophomores were greatly out numbered, but put up a plucky fight. The freshmen haa succeeded In tying three of their opponents when the officers butted in. Securing flrehoso and a nozzle. Mar shal Baymlller and his assistants turned tho full stream on the struggling mass of students. As the stream of cofd water struck the struggling students, they turhed In a body on the officers. In a few moments the Marshal and deputies were soaked to the skin. A struggle for possession of the hose followed, and In the melso tho hose was ruined with Jack-knives. One deputy was carried to the river's edge, but was released upon promise to go home. In the meantime the preparatory class, numbering 200. decided to start something. They secured a long rope, tied It to the baggage wagon of the Palace Hotel and drew the vehicle to the scene of the first encounter. With a yell, they started back up the street, and poon had a complete barricade established, hauling wagons, hay-rakes, hacks and all other movable conveyances to the corral. The city water wagon was hauled to the depot, the wheels were removed and thrown in the river. At the City Hall each student grabbed a cordwood stick and bringing tho Impromptu muskets to "shoulder arms" marched down the street and piled tho wood In a heap beside tne vehicles.
