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

new boiler should be let, at least, as it
would require a long time to fill the order,
lor some of the material had to be brought
from the East.
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

SMALLPOX ON ELLERIC.
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.

POLICE ARE BUSY
Nearly One Thousand Arrests
During November.
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,

shot six horses, to put them out of
misery-

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. "The city should establish
the rockplle system again and then Port
land would be a place of terror for the
army of worthless hoboes. The county
has - a rockplle and it pays, the broken
rock making excellent material for- street
repairing and grading."
It would appear to be up to the City
Engineer to provide a pile of rocks and
a working place for the dozen or more

HISSING BROTHER .RETURNS.
Anna Gavin Says He Does Not Resem
ble Man Who Held Her Up.
"Do I look like the man who held you
up?
Such was the reetlne of William Gavin
to his sister. Miss Anna Gavin, when he
returned to his home, 329 East Seventh
street, yesterday morning and beheld the
victim of Monday night's sensational en
counter seated by the fireside. He had
been missing since Monday night and was
being sought for by the police.
"I assured my brother that he did not
resemblo the man who attacked and
robbed me," said Miss Gavin. "I am very
sorry the police thought It was he who
did It. He was simply away looking for
work and failed to come home. I do not
see why tho police should think him guilty
of the crime.
