u THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 190. DRISGOLL SAYS NO Objects to Letting; of1 Port, of Portland Contract WITHOUTFULL INVESTIGATION Bids -for Repair of Steamer Wenona Are Received but Not Opened Grain and Lumber Ship ments In Past Month. The Port of Portland Commission held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to take action regarding repairs to the steamer Wenona- All the Commissioners were present except Captain Pease and Mr. Adams. At the previous meeting- Captain Groves, superintendent of dredges, recommended that the boat's hull and holler be repaired, and a special committee, consisting of Mr. Thomas and Captain Pease, was ap pointed to investigate and report and also to oec lire bids for tho work. Mr. Thomas ma A3 a verbal report, showing the neces sity of .overhauling the steamer. A pile of sealed bids were on the table before President Swlgert, but before he could open them Commissioner Driscoll inter posed a strenuous objection to the pro ceedings. "We should put the "Wenona on the dry dock for an examination," he said, "be fore we spend any money for repairs. There is no use of letting the contract for tho work until we know what Is tho matter with her. If we do, besides paying out several hundred dollars for the con tract, we may also Tiave to pay several thousand for extras." Mr. Thomas thought the contract for a 1904-05 GRAIN FLEET Flag and rig.

Captain Spencer believed it would bo better to build a new hull than repair the old one. On tho whole he expressed a rather poor opinion of the boat. Mr. . Driscoll stuck persistently to his point. "No Tanner-Creek sewer for me," as he remarked after it was all over. His motion .carried to have the steamer docked and enough of the old material removed (to ascertain the exact repairs necessary. The question of exchanging power with the Consolidated Street Railway Company was discussed at length, but no action was taken. TJie drydock plant has been connected with the street railway system, and .the latter's jower was tried in raising the tug Sampson Tuesday. Superintend ent Robert Mcintosh was on hand and reported that the trial was- a success. It Is intended to use the railroad's power on special occasions, when It would not pay to raise steam In the drydock plant, or when an emergency required prompt ac tion. On the other hand, the street-car company Is to have the use of drydock power on Sundays and holidays if re quired. NOVEMBER GRAIN SHIPMENTS Six Wheat and Flour Cargoes Cleared From This Port. Six grain cargoes were cleared from this port in the month just closed, five of them for Europe and one for South Af rica. Of tho total of 655,339 bushels of wheat shipped from here, 465,519 bushels went to Europe. California received 182, 251 bushels last month, and since the sea son opened nearly 1,000,000 bushels. Flour exports in November were 42,043 barrels to the Orient and 15,179 barrels went to San Francisco. An examination of the shipments from Portland and Puget Sound ports since the opening of the cereal year shows that the water, movement was nearly equal to that of last season, and compares well with the shipments of the past seven years, and this notwithstanding the great quantity of wheat sent "by rail to the Eastern States. In tho following table are given the shipments for the season to date as compared with former seasons: Bushels. 1004-05 9.476.608I1000-O1 1903-04 9.C06.377 1809-00 J002-O3 12,974.7C31898-9t 1001-02 13.3C8,536l897-93 Bushels. 10.253,049 0.008.035 11.581,090 ai.UU.753 SHIPMENTS OF LUMBER.

Steamer Ordered Into Quarantine on Her Arrival at Astoria. ' ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 30. (Special.)-Tho British steamship Elleric, which arrived in this morning, has been placed in quarantine on account of her master. Captain McLeod, being 111 with what is supposed to be smallpox, and she will not be released for two weeks at least. No one is permitted to leave the vessel and no one has been on board her ex cepting Quarantine Officer Earle. The Ellerlc is 26 days from Moji, Japan, and comes la ballast. She sailed from Moji, November 4. and Immediately en countered severe weather, which contin ued all the way across the Pacific At times the gales were so heavy that the steamer was compelled to heave to. She was, however, uninjured. On November 16, Ah Min, a Chinese fireman, who was 111 for some days, was found to be suffering from smallpox. He . was Isolated from the rest of the crew and is now convalescent. Four days ago Captain McLeod was taken sick and since then the steamer has been under the command of the first officer. The Elleric arrived off the mouth of the river this morning and came In at once without waiting to pick up the pilot Dr. Earle, on making his inspection and finding contagion on board, directed the steamship to be taken to the government quarantine station where she will be fumigated and all on board will be vac cinated and held until all danger of spreading the contagion is passed. He says Captain McLeod is quite ill and symptoms indicated the first stages of smallpox. A number of others on board the vessel are afflicted In a similar way. In this connection the urgent necessity can be seen for completing the quaran tine station In accordance with the plans already adopted and for which an appro priation has been asked. At the present time the construction of the station is about half completed, and no hospitals have been provided. "Were hospitals pro vided, the crew from the Ellerlc could be taken ashore and the vessel could bo thoroughly fumigated and then be re leased after the prescribed period, about two weeks, had elapsed. Now the men must be kept on board and should any new cases develop the delay of the vessel may be extended indefinitely. AUSTRALIA DEMANDS LUMBER Beliingham Mills Are Doing a Thriv ing Business.

FORCE IS SHORT SEVEN MEN One Policeman Gets Married, One Saves a Life, Another Captures a Deserter, and Hobos Are Gathered Into the Fold. During November 936 arrests were made by the police of Portland. Of these De tective Joe Day Is accredited with all but 935. November Is the record month in point of arrests. The activity of Detectives Hellyer and Vaughn and the patrolmen In bringing in hobos and vagrants brought the number of arrests up to the unusual ly large figure. Drunken men and wom en, always numerous, continued brisk this month, and, together with the other pris oners, swelled the total. "Things are getting very busy In the police business here," said Chief Hunt last night, "and we sorely need additional patrolmen. It If not a patching, however, to what it will be in a few months." There are 72 patrolmen working. The force is seven men shy, as none have been appointed to fill the places of Policemen Connors. Johnson, Mallett, Shane, Hems worth, Gassett and Dolan. Neither has an appointment been made to fill the va cancy on the detective staff caused by the death of Captain Sam Simmons. There were no murders or suicides dur ing the month, but one man attempted to kill himself. He was H. R. Martin, who used a razor to cut his throat and wrists. His nerve failed him, however, and he was taken to headquarters by Policeman Bullus. He later confessed that a story of a sensational hold-up related by him. at first was manufactured out of whole cloth. There were two sensational robberies, neither of which were cleared up by the detectives. Knute Nelson, a farror from Sauvle's Island, was robbed of $425 In greenbacks In the North End. Miss Anna Gavin was held up, choked and robbed ?y a highwayman. She lost $120. There were also two Incendiary fires, one of which was of very startling na ture. Three men are now under arrest as a result of the efforts of Detectives Hart man, Kerrigan and Snow. Chief Hunt 3tarted the system of hobolc photography during the month, and as a result all of the "bos" brought In by the officers have left behind thom a sample copy of their "phys," for future reference. The plan of or dering all vagrants to "bldw on" has been followed up and Chief Hunt claims the city Is pretty free of the tramp element. Policeman Hammersley took unto himself a wife, and has since been receiving- the congratulations of his brother officers and they have been accepting- his cigars. Patrolman Fones, a member of the second relief, saved the life of George Martin by pulling him from certain death In the mire of the Corbett-street fill. In South Portland. The system was suspended tempo rarily, and Patrolman Grif Roberts was permitted to "take" ?C0 reward for the capture of a deserter from the United States Army. Carroll and Walter Palowske, young sters, were shot by an unknown pep son on the Peninsula. It was supposed to be the -work of a hunter, but may have been purposely done. One boy will lose an eye. Both were shot in the face. Humane Officer Resins arrested George WIttle and Roy Haywood, min ors, for wantonly shooting two horses, the property of Dr. Cardwell. He also shot six horses, to put them out of misery- LOOK INTO THE 'SCANDAL. Grand Jury Investigates Tanner Creek Sewer Matter. The Tanner-Creek sewer scandal occu pied the time of the grand jury yester day, and quite a number of witnesses were examined. These included men who worked on the sewer, among the number the O'Neill brothers. J. B. Slemmons, a well-known contractor, was also called. K. W. Rlner, son of Contractor R. M. Riner, was seen in the hallway of tho Courthouse but did not enter the grand Jury room. The evidence taken is much the same as was heard by the city au thorlties In their investigation. The ob ject of the present Inquiry is to ascertain If the facts In the case warrant the find ing of any criminal indictment or indict meats against any person or persons. The grand Jury Is a hard-working body. meeting generally at S o'clock in the morning and adjourning at 5 o'clock, with an intermission at the noon hour. If this course is continued, the investiga tion will be speedily concluded. FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE. Eudora E. Smith Says She Suffered Pangs of Hunger. Eudora E.

FLEES FOR HIS LIFE George Martin Is Stabbed by John Mcintosh, VICTIM ACCUSED OF THEFT Resenting the Accusation, He Is Pur sued by Mcintosh and Assailed Charge of Assault With a Dangerous Weapon. For a murderous assault committed on George Martin with a large pocket knife at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, John Mcintosh was Immediately arrested by Policeman Venable and - booked at the central station. Tho victim of the as sailant's wrath was stabbed three times in the back and had to flee for his life. The sceno of the attempted murder was 421 Main street. The motive was revenge, It Is alleged by Martin and E. B. Hawley, who was present with the Injured man. Accusations of theft were bandied about, 541 having disappeared. It was money be longing to a woman at whose home tho assailant was staying. She first accused Mcintosh; he, in turn, charged the theft to Martin and Hawley, and they were not slow in informing .him his statement was not true. Angered by tho fact that Martin and Hawley, who wero employed, by the woman, were removing her furniture and that they refused to take tho blame for the missing money, Mcintosh viciously at tacked Martin with a long knife. Before Hawley could rush in to separate the men, Martin had stabbed him three times in various places on the back. Hearing of the affair, Policeman Ven able rushed to the scene and was Just in time to capture Mcintosh. He took him to the central station in a wagon and locked him up. Martin and Hawley drove their express wagon to headquarters, where they related their story to Chlet Hunt and tho station officers. Martin's wounds were attended by Dr. Samuel C. S locum. ' I had orders from my employer, C. M. Olson, to move the furniture from the house at 341 Main street to the Thomp son fiats. Union avenue and Ankeny streets, and with Mr. Hawley set to work to do so," said Martin. "While we were in the house Mcintosh was accused of stealing $40 from the woman. He denied it, saying we were responsible. We in- dignantly denied the accusation. Mcin tosh became very angry and finally made the attack on me with his knife. I con sider I was lucky to escape with my life. "There seems to have been some trouble between Mcintosh and the woman whose furniture we were moving. She told us she wanted to get away from him, and he was unwilling. He Is a brother of the well-known hop-grower living at Butte- ville." , Mcintosh will be arraigned this morn ing before Municipal Judge Hogue on a charge of assault with a dangerous weap on. He spent the night in the City Jail, being unable to furnish bonds. CITY R0CKPLLE IS NEEDED. Judge Hogue Believes It Would Scare Away Army of Hobos. "Bring on the rockplle!" says Judgo Hogue. The Winter Is on and the hoboes are thick and Portland Is growing more pop ular with them every day. With the festive hobo life reaches an Ideal condi tion with the comforts of a well-warmed Jail with nothing to do but lie about all day and sleep, only exerting themselves enough to eat three times a day. "There is much good material going to waste," remarked Judge Hogue yester day morning as he sentenced twe North End vagrants to terms of 90 days' Im prisonment.
