1!? THE M0RXI3SG OBEGONIAy, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, IMS. TO RUN BLOCKADE Ship Olympia Will Carry Sup plies to Vladivostok. LEAVES PORTLAND NEXTWEEK Shipments of Oats and Beef" to Be Made From This City for Use of Czar's Forces Part Cargo. . From Seattle. Portland Is to be made a shipping point or contraband of war for the Russian forces. The steamship Olympia will sail from this city the latter part of next week carrying a full cargo of supplies for the Czar's army. If she succeeds in running the Japanese blockade, she will discharge her freight at Vladivostok. If she fails, the supplies will go into the storerooms of the little brown soldiers of the Mikado. The steamer Is now at Seattle recelv Ing a part of her cargo, having begun loading there Thursday morning. She put in lat season in the isome trade, and completed her last trip on October 21, when she was laid up at Eagle Harbor, where she remained until taken to Seat tle a few days ago. About half of her freight space of 4000 tons will be filled with the Seattle portion of her cargo, and the remainder with Portland freight. It .8 not known exactly what the Portland shipment will consist of, but a large part of It will be oats. One of the leading grain firms of this city will supply this shipment. Another grain firm Is also be ing negotiated with, and may add a quan tity of feed to the vessel's load. It is also wald that a considerable supply ot ranned beef Is on hand awaiting trans portation by the Olympia, but It any such goods were received here by the Harrl man lines, the freight officials profess to know nothing about it. The Olympia belongs to the Northwest Commercial Company, the owners of the steamship Tacoma, which sailed from Se attle a few days ago with Russian sup plies. Both vessels were chartered by Russian agents at the same time, the an nounced intention being "to load grain and provisions for the Orient." The Ta coma was cleared thrdugh the Seattle Custom-Houe for Shanghai, but it was no secret that the first port she would try to make would be Vladivostok. The 6a me procedure will doubtless be followed In the case of the Olympia. It may not be according to law to clear for one port and sail for another, but nobody can pre vent It. The only representative of the charter ers of the Olympia that could be found In this city yesterday was Henry Otten heimer, a resident of Salem. Mr. Otten helmer Is a hopman by profession, the representative of the big New York hop firm of Ldlienthal Bros. What a hopman Bhould have to do with a blockade -runner Is not apparent, but that Is possibly his business. At any rate, Mr. Ottenhelmer was actively looking after the steamer's Interest, though he refused to affirm or deny his connection with the matter. It is stated that the agents of the Rus sian government have given the North, west Commercial Company a bond to In demnify them for loss of the steamer in the event of her being sent to the bot tom by Admiral Togo's warships. If she Is detained, demurrage will tie paid; it she is lost, the owners will receive more for her than she would sell for in open markot at the present time: Her course from the Columbia River, It Is understood, will take her towards the Aleutian Islands, and. sailing close to the Arctic Ice floes, she will be able to pass through La Perouse or Kurlle Straits into the Sea of Okhotsk. From there the Olympia can proceed to Vladivostok with out much fear of being overhauled by a Japanese war vessel. The Strait of Hak odate Is too well fortified and It is not likely that the steamer will take that pas sage when she heads for Russian terri tory after steaming out of the Columbia River. First Venture In III Luck. The steamer Tacoma, which loaded the first consignment of supplies for the Rus sians, went aground soon after leaving Seattle, but was floated Thursday morn ing and proceeded on her way. The Olympia Is well known to shippers of this city, having made a number of trips between Portland and the Orient in the old Dodwell line. , WILL SAIL IN BALLAST. Two Frenc't Ships Unable to Secure Cargoes? Will Go Elsewhere. Two French ships In port, unable to se cure grain cargoes, will eall away In bal last They are the Marthe Roux and the Vllle de Mulhouse. The Marthe Roux reached port December 4 with coal from Swansea. All her cargo was discharged except 900 tons, and she will begin un loading that on Monday morning at the gas dock, after which she will take aboard ballast. The Vllle de Mulhouse arrived November 29 from Hamburg, bringing general cargo, and she dis charged all but a small quantity, which was retained for stiffening. The vessel Is moored at the Can Company's dock, but will move up to one of the cargo docks to take out the remainder. It Is likely that both vessels will go to Australia, where business is more likely to be se cured. This will be the first Instance on record where vessels have been unable to secure cargoes after their arrival here. Several thlps have sailed In ballast from Astoria, but they only made that port for orderu, and no craft that came actually seeking busIneBs was ever turned away from the river. The heavy rail movement ot wheat Is the cause of the departure ot the French ships. Overdue Athos at Colon. BALTIMORE, Jan. 6.

Judge George Hay- den today rendered a decision In the state bankruptcy case of the Aultman-MUler Company affecting over $1,000,000 worth of stock. Many stockholders demurred to paying the double liability obligation on the ground that the recent amendment to the constitution in that connection ab solved them because the failure occurred after the amendment was adopted. On the principle that the debts were Incurred and the company was in existence before the amendment abolishing the double lia bility was adopted. Judge Hayden held the stockholders must stand for double the value of their shares. The question will be carried to the Supreme Court and If the decision ! sustained there it will affect at least 5o0.000.000 worth of stock In Ohio. Cause and Remedy for Cancer. BOSTON. Jan. 6.

Little Liver Pill SHE DODGES THE LAW WEALTHY NEW YORK WOMAN ESCAPES TO. EUROPE. Will Not Testify Before Grand Jury in Dodge-Morse Scandal, Despite Jerome's Efforts. NEW YORK. Jan. 6. Interest In tha so-called Dodge-Morse tangle Increased today, when If. was announced that Mrs. William B. Gelshenen, widow of a mil lionaire banker, who was wanted by Dis trict Attorney Jerome for testimony be fore the grand Jury, left America Janu ary 3 for an European trip. immediately on this announcement came a statement from her attorneys, among them James M. Beck, who said nis cuenc naa sailed owing to pre vious arrangement and Independent ot tne grand Jury Investigation into the "Morse matter," followed by one from District Attorney Jerome's, office to the effect that counsel for Mrs. Gelshenen 'could not deny that my letter to Mrs. Gelshenen was in his hands before she sailed for Europe." This letter Is. one directed to Mrs. Gel shenen. advising her that failure to serve a subpoena for her appearance resulted in the publication of her name as one of the witnesses wanted. The District Attorney is also quoted tonight as saying that the "so-called Dodge-Morse case is a live wire; that several members of the legal fraternity In New York have picked tno wire up and have short-circuited It and "that the voltage Is very high and the arapeerage sufficient to make any one dance who may handle it" Another development In the case was the appearance of W. R, Gelshenen, son of Mrs. W. B. Gelshenen, before tho grand Jury' today. The purport ot his testimony was not made public It is said he told of his mother's departure lor England several days ago. Mrs. Gel shenen was booked to sail on the Deutschland, which will leave tomorrow. A large amount of baggage was shipped from her home to the ship today. The apartments engaged by her, it is said, will be occupied by relatives. An attempt was made yesterday to serve a subpena upon Mrs. Gelshenen for her appearance before the Jury, but was unsuccessful Assistant District Attorney Garvan. who is assisting Mr. Rand in presenting the case to tho ETand jury, said that his officers, who have been watching the Gelshenen house, told blm that 15 or 20 trunks were taken from the house today mark ed "SS. Deutschland," and addressed to "Naples." The Deutschland will sail tomorrow from Hoboken. N. J. "Whether Mrs. Gelshenen preceded her baggage to rpw Jersey and is there, out of the Jurisdiction of the courts, or is still in this city, is not known at the District Attorneys office. Her son, before en tering the grand jury room today, said that his mother was not at home. Mrs. Gelshenen's attorney today Is sued a statement saying that Mrs. Gel shenen was not in this country; that several months ago she decided to spend the Winter with her family Id Cairo. Egypt She sailed last Tuesday on the Kaiser "Wllhelm. The statement ends: We shall, of course, cormunicate the Dls trlct Attorney's letter and subsequent action to Mrs. Gelshenen. and see If she Is disposed to return and testify No subpena having; been served upon her. lie is under no legal obllra Hon to do so. and I fear the action of th District Attorney may not be calculated to persuade her to do so voluntarily. The World tomorow will say: "At 10 o'clock last night youne Gel shenen. accompanied by two women and a roan, left the Deutschland at her Ho boken pier, after bidding an affection ate farewell to a gray-haired woman ot distinguished appearance on tha deck. It was said she was Mrs. Gel shenen. but this could not be verified." PURCHASE OF LOCKS. Passage at Willamette Falls to Be Made Free. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. C An attempt will be made to secure the incorporation in the river and harbor bill, now being framed by the House committee, of a provision drawn by Senator Fulton, appropriating $750,000 for the purchase and repair of the canal and locks at Willamette Falls. now owned and operated by the Portland General Electric Company. During the holiday recess Senator Fulton drafted an Item, which has been agreed to by all members of the Oregon delegation, carry ing the appropriation named, and pro viding that not to exceed $000,000 of that amount shall be paid for the canal and locks, the remaining $150,000 to be utilized in the repair or reconstruction of the canal along the lines suggested by Major Langfltt in his report to the Chief of Engineers. The item further stipulates that after the canal and locks pass into the hands of the Government they shall be opera ted for navigation purposes, free from any charge or tolls, and shall be opera ted and maintained at the expense of tho United States Government Representative Jones, of "Washington. who is xn the river and harbor committee, has interested himself In this project, and will use his best endeavors to induce the committee to incorporate in its bill the Item dratted by Senator Fulton. Mr. Jones agrees with the Oregon delegation mat steamers plying the Willamette River should not be required to pay tolls at Willamette Falls, but that the river should be open to free navigation. Just as the Columbia now is at Cascade Locks. In support of this provision Represen tative Jones will brine forward the renort of the Engineer Board, of which Major Langfltt was the head, and the subsequent report "of District Attorney Hall showing the legal rights of the Gov ernment at Willamette Falls. These re ports emphasize the Importance of the operation of a Government canal around Willamette Falls, and yet dwell upon the equities or me case as jegards the vested rights of the Portland General Electric Company. Congress has the choice of two DroDosala It can acquire the canal of the Portland Oeneral Electric Company or it can con struct a separate canal on the opposite siue ot tne river, me better plan, how ever seems to be to acquire the exist ing canal, rebuild it and at the same time allow the Portland General Electric Com pany and other power and manufactur ing plants to continue to use the waters of the Willamette for power purposes. Tnis can be done by a plan sujrxested by Major Langfltt. namely, to reconstruct the present canal as a double canaL sep arating the two canals by a partition wall. one canal to be used exclusively for navi gation, the other to be used exclusively to carry water to the power and manu facturing plants. In this way. the two canals, running side by side, will not in terfere with each other, navigation will not be injured or delayed by the use of water for power purposes, and the power plants will not be interfered with by navi gation. The report of the engineers shows that there Is ample water In the "Willamette, even at low stages ot the river, not only to accommodate navigation, but to supply all the power likely to be demanded by present or prospective manufacturing es tablishments at Willamette Falls. It Is also the opinion of the engineers that the double-canal plan suggested would be the most economical and the least expensive ot any plan that can be devised, and would give the best results. There Is strong hope that Senator Ful ton's item may be Incorporated In the river and harbor bill by the House com mittee. If it is not Inserted In the House, an attempt will be made to have it attached to the bljl as a Senate amend ment There is better prospect of Its final adoption If it goes in as an original item than it it lias to be forced on as an amendment and for this reason every effort will be made to induce the House committee to accept the proposition as it now stands. ui course, an appropriation such as has been suggested would not necessarily mean that the Portland General Electric Company would accept the offer. It would, however, give them an opportun ity to accept a price deemed fair by the Oregon delegation and the engineer offi cers, and would, at the same time, in sure them continued use of the water of the Willamette for power purposes. In the opinion of Senator Fulton the plan proposed is the only fair one, all things considered. "STICK TO THE PULPIT" Says One Clergymen to Others Through Newspaper. PORTLAND. Jan. 0. (To the Editor.) ltue as i am Inclined to discuss the na ture ana scope of the 'uncalled-for" cltl zens mass meeting at the Marquam on Sun day last I cannot refrain from extending my cordial thanks to George Wallace Will iams for the thoroughness and candor with which he has so ably discussed the meeting In The Oregonlan of January 1. In which he voiced the sentiment not only of himself and a few others, but, I believe, of a great majority or loyal citizens. I purposely deslg nate the meeting "uncalled for." not merely because of Its vain efforts In assuming to make tho impossible possible, but because If preventing war. In the sense It assumra. Is really possible then the mass meeting Is as ii wu. entirely unimportant and un availing. For let us Just consider the sub stance of that meeting. In the first place it declares, Dy the resolutions adopted by a belligerent majority. In Itself the greatest paradox or the century for a "peace" meet ing. that It wishes to place on record its approval of the efforts being made by Presl dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hay on behalf of arbitration of National differences and disputes, and. second, that it does not be lieve "In peace at any price, but it believes in peace with honor." row. as to the first proposition, who Is asking for Its approval; or. Is the Presl dent to change his policy by Its disaDorovalt Suppose the belligerent majority were to be on the negative Instead of In the affirma tive, and it would have been If more people were present what would then be? Is the President depending, in carryltfg out the trust Intrusted to him by the people of the United States, on the approval or disapproval of some of the so-called "wise" people of Port land? The feasibility and propriety of the meeting would have been more excusable If It were called by politicians, but as Its agl tators. If not instigators, are mostly, if not all, clergymen. It puts the whole affair In a very unfavorable light, and It therefore Just ly deserves all the criticism, censure and blame it may receive. The sphere ot action of the clergy Is not on the platform, but. within the pulpit What is making this country so great and powerful Is the line of demarcation Indelibly drawn between poll- tics and religion. It would be. as it has been, the greatest misfortune when a coun try In Us governmental functions should be influenced by clergy, church or religion. There may, however, be some cases where the clergy and laity may meet for one com mon purpose, where government should deny the common rights of man or be deaf to the wants of the people: but where the gov ernment, as President Roosevelt especially In this very Instance, has taken proper steps and done all in his power toward the realization of that Idealistic dream of uni versal peace, there Is no sense In holding meetings for approving his action where there is no opposition, except for the sake of publicity and notoriety. If not seeking for a political Job, "to be placed on record." As to the second proposition. It has been editorially commented upon by The Ore gonlan, and there Is little to be added thereto, except that those who were the first promoters of the "peace mass meeting will know more about It now than they ever knew before. ADOLF ABBET. AZTEC TRAITS. They Made Great Soldiers and Great Cultivators as Well. Southern "Workman The Aztecs of old were not only great soldiers, but also diligent cultivators of the soil, and had acquired considerable proficiency In agriculture, although they had no horses, oxen or other animals of draught To this day the men earn their living chiefly as day laborers In the fields now owned by the Mexicans. The staple product now, as of yore, is the maize and next to It the maguey or agave, the sweet sap of which Is the principal material for the famous Mexi can pulque. Some species are cultivated as vegetables, others for the sake of their leaves, which yield a strong fibre that can be woven Into fabrics. Hence the saying that the agave supplies- the people with drink, food and clothing. The men have little ambition to excel in handi craft Farriery and carpentry are about the only trades they care to take up. In the cities they work as porter, carriers or peddlers In a small way. Like all Southern Indians, their com plexion is of a ruddy chocolate brown, and they are not particularly good look ing. Most ot the women now have large hands and feet probably the Inheritance of generations of hard workers. And they are strong. In the warehouse ot a wine mere hart an Aztec porter was seen to take a cask of claret on his back and carry it quite a distance. The load cer tainly weighed not less than 400 pounds. and no white man would have thought of lifting It The law requires the people in the cities to forsake the Indian breech cloth and poncho and assume the regu lation garb of the poor working clasa ot Mexico the wide, loose trousers . ot cot ton cloth or manta, with jacket to match but the breechcloth is worn out side of the trousers and thereby replaces the civilized suspenders. Chamberlain an Average Man. Harper's "Weekly. The most widely acceptable remarks that we have lately seen attributed to the Honorable Joseph Chamberlain were made in Birmingham, at a dinner of students and graduates of tho Queen's Faculty of Medicine. Sir Fred erick Treves had spoken at length of the dangers of eating Ices, smoking and drinking. Mr. Chamberlain, fol lowing, deposed as a record of practical experience that for at least 50 years of a life which had extended considerably beyond tnat period, ne had eaten Ices whenever he could get them, had smoked whenever he had nothing elso to do, and generally when he had some thing to do, and had consumed In mod eration such alcoholic fluids as he saw before him, and had found them to be beverages which in his case cheered but did not Inebriate. Nevertheless, the di gestion was as good as ever and quite sufficient for his purposes. It Is reassur ing to know that in matters of meat drink and fumigation, Mr. Chamberlain's habits are those of the average man. It makes the average man feel better about his habits. It is a great advantage not to have to take too much pains to keep alive. Largest Receipts at Albany. ALBANY. Or.. Jan. 6. (Special.)

Those who attended the Dcrfonnance at the Marquam were privileged to witness a very fine thing. Beyond question. It was the moat wonderful performance of anaKespeare ever seen in Portland, and it marks an epoch In local hlBtory of the drama. "We saw Ben Greet play "Mal- vollo." In which part he has no living equal, and we saw his splendid company enact the familiar roles more perfectly than we are likely to see again, after the Lnglish players say farewell tonight Grett's "Malvollo" seems to follow ex actly the conception of the master dra matist, who lavished his best genius upon the part Only an earnest and mature student gifted to a marvelous degree In the art of acting, would be capable of such a portrayal. He must be saturated with the spirit of his great role. The hu mor of it is as delicious as Shakespeare Intended It should be. and to see such a "Malvollo" Is part of a liberal education. Miss Crawley's "Viola" demonstrates the versatility of a great actress. As in "Everyman" and "The Star of Bethle hem." her reading of the lines is as near faultless as seems possible. She makes "Viola" one of the most delightful hero ines In Shakespeare. In every speech, gesture, expression and pose. Constance Crawley Is a consummate artist Sydney Greenstrcet gives a splendid per formance of "Sir Toby"; the "Sir An drew" of John Crawley provokes continu ous laughter while he Is on the stage: Eugene Cleves does "Sebastian" beauti fully, while Eric Blind was very effective as the "Duke." Perclval Aylmer Is an infinitely sprightly clown, and Leonard Shepherd acts "Antonio" with great force and dignity. One of the features of the performance Is the work of Agnes Scott as "Maria." This young lady Is one of the most charmingly natural comediennes we have seen here in many seasons. "Olivia." as given .by Helen Head. Is praiseworthy. The costuming of the play is accurate. and the Incidental music add? much to the charm. As for the rich genius of Ben Grcet's "Malvollo," I must return to It again to say that nothing short of a full column from the pen of a great critic could do it justice. The last performances to be given here by the players occur this afternoon, when "Everyman" will again be presented, and tonight, when "Twelfth Night" will be repeated. The audience last night was large and appreciative. A. A. G. Will Rehear Santa Fe Rebate Case. WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.

"During the Winter of 1S0I-02 (X was then 17 years of age) I attended a Gram mar School In Holla, N. Dak., staying with some friends of ours and working for my board between school hours.

"One day our Prof. Young was tell ing us what effect coffee had on one's system. I compared his words with how I felt and found that coffee was ruining my health. So I tried to quit, but found I was a slave to It but quit Just the same.

I asked Papa if he knew what It was. but he said he did not, but found he had to keep It so I took a package of It home and said I would try it made it according to di rections and It was delicious. After using Postum two weeks I was much less nerv ous and noticed I was getting a little fatter, so I persuaded Mama to use It for the whole family. Every one of them liked It. and now they all complain If they cannot have Postum. "After a while I got to be healthy and tired of being Indoors. I went out to take orders for the store and many a customer I persuaded to use Postum. "One lady told me that they used cof fee because they could get premiums for the wrappers, but she admitted they did not like coffee at alL I left them a pack age of Postum on trial and the next time I came around she returned it said they did not like it She hadn't made It right It was about dinner time, so I said. 'Let me make It for you; I am sure you will like if so I prepared the drink accord ing to directions and had dinner with them- and they all said It was delicious and have used nothing else since. That lady thanked me afterwards for Postum; it Improved their health, she said." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
