12 THE MORNING OREGONJAN, THURSDAY, 31 ARCH 16, 1905. AGENT. IS ARRESTED Sailors' Union Man Charged With Harboring Seamen. PAUL CALLS IT SPITEWORK Declares .VThat Longshoremen Are iBack of ItBritish Ship Wray "Castle From Portland, Is Ashore at Queenstown. The trouble between the Sailors' and Longshoremen's Union appears to have b'rpken out In a new place. D. W. Paul, local agent of the Sailors' Union, was arrested yesterday morning by Harbor master Biglin on a charge of harbor ing deserting seamen. While this ar rest, on the face of It, does not seem to have any connection with the clash between the two unions, the Sailors' agent Is positive that the longshoremen are back of the proceedings. "It is spltework on the part of the longshoremen," said Paul ' yesterday. "They are sore at ais because we have got the work of loading some of the vessels In port, which we have a per fect right to do under the law. We are not conducting a sailor boarding-house and I don't see how they can make out a charge of harboring seamen." Mr. Paul was taken before Justice Reid and released on $400 bonds. The case will be heard In the Justice Court Friday at 2 P. M. The agent has wired to the headquarters of the union at San Francisco a statement of the mat ter and, acting under Instructions, will fight the case to a finish. The new Sailor Boarding-House Commission some time ago investigtated the work ings of the Sailors' Union and came to the conclusion that the agent was conducting his business according to law. The longshoremen, it Is stated, furnished the information that led to Paul's arrest. In the meantime work is progressing at the docks without disturbance. Members of the Sailors' Union are load ing the barkentine T. P. Emigh at the Portland Mill and union longshoremen are putting lumber aboard the barken tine Koko Head at the same place. new Lighthouse. 8llp Point Station Will Be Estab- Ilshed April 1.

WRAY CASTLE ASHORE. Ship With Cargo From Portland In Bad Way at Queenstown QUEENSTOWN, March 15. The Brit ish ship Wray Castle, from Portland, Or., -which arrived at Queenstown yes terday, has been driven ashore and several others have dragged their anchors, owing to the severity of the gale oft this Coast The Wray Castle lies on the eastern bank in White Gate Roads. Seas are breaking over her, but possibly she may be towed oft after being lightered. The Wray Castle sailed from Port land. October 26 last for Queenstown with &9.219 bushels of barley and 28, 072 bushels of wheat, shipped by Bal four, Guthrie & Co. She is in command of Captain Owens. The ship is owned by J. Chambers & Co., of Liverpool, and Is 16 years old. RAS ELBA SAILS TODAY. Ellerlc Completes Her Barley Cargo for the Orient. The British steamship Ras Elba will leave down the river at 6:S0 this morn ing bound, for Tsingtau, China. Henry Mett cleared her at the Custom-House yesterday with 98SS bales of compressed hay, valued at 513.000, loaded here, and S1.018 bushels of oats, taken on at Seattle. The total value of her cargo is $59,440. The British steamship Ivy Viene. which will load a part cargo of oats at Seattle, Is due hero April 10 to fill up with hay for the same port as the Ras Elba. The British steamship Ellerlc fin ished loading 6000 tons of barley at Mersey Jock yesterday afternoon and will probably get away today, bound for Japan. Brings Fish in Good Condition. ASTORIA. Or.. March 15. The steamer Chetco, which arrived here from Rogue River on Monday, had 20 tons of frozen steolheaJs, and the ship ment proved to bo in good order. The Intention now is to run her regularly from Rogue River here with frozen fish, and It is expected that it will be very profitable, as the fish there are much cheaper than on the Columbia, and are accepted as of equal quality. McCraken at Astoria. ASTORIA. Or., March 15. (Special.) The Port of Portland steamer John McCraken arrived down the river to day under the command of Captain John Brown. She will be used by Fore cast Official Beals to pick up the Weather Bureau telegraph cable at the mouth of the river. Perry Fails to Find Derelict. ASTORIA. Or., March 15. (Special.)

The dove of peace has settled over the membera and meetings of the City and County Medical Society and no breath of passion now mars the serenity of the at mosphere. Last night the society held another meeting, at which all was friend liness and the spirit of desire to discuss things whloh may be understood or may not be. Dr. Woods Hutchinson furnished the discussion for the evening by reading a paper on the type of tuberculosis on this coast. The doctor held In his argument that the disease on the Pacific Coast was of a more virulent character than that found in England, on the continent of Europe or in the Eastern States and that its course was shorter. The vigor of Its attack was especially noticeable In the ouslaughts it made on the pioneer fami lies and the rapidity with which It under mined Its "victim, once marked. The microscope, as a means of discov ering the presence of the bacillus of tuber culosis, said Dr. Hutchinson, was unre liable and was rapidly being supplanted by the physical diagnosis. In this latter, when a patient was found to -be losing weight, when there was a slight increase in temperature, when the pulse was ac celerated above 70 In the case of males and above SO In females, and when there was hemorrhage present without any cause apparent for any of the conditions. It was safe to diagnose the case as tuber culosis and advise the patient accordingly. TlH paper was discussed by the physi cians present at the close of Its reading, many of the speakers taking a little dif ferent ground on some points than what had been advanced by the reader. Resolutions of commemoration were passed by the society in honor of Dr. T. W Barrett, who died a 6hort time ago after a lingering attack of typhoid fever. DOUGLAS OR MONAKATT. Either May Be Nominated for Mayor of St. Johns This Evening. The indications are that A. S. Douglas, or "Councilman T. J. Monahan, will re ceive the nomination for Mayor of St. Johns at the mass meeting which takes place this evening. Mr. Douglas is presi dent of the Commercial Club, and Mr. Monahan has been one of the most active men In the Council since the incorpora tion and In the adoption of the new charter. Both belong to what is called tho progressive element of the new city. There is a possibility that W. H. King may be nominated, but he insists that he is not a candidate and does not want tho office, preferring to work as a private citizen. As to the other offices, there is not the same Interest shown as is centered In the nomination for Mayor. It Is pos sible that Lk F. CJark. the present Re corder, may be nominated for that office on his excellent record. EARNEST THOMPSON SET ON To Lecture at the' Marquam Grand "Next Monday.

Coe and Associates Erect Modern Building, in Which Ner vous, Mental and Drug Dis eases Will Be Treated. A new structure is in process of build ing at Mt. Tabor, under contract to be finished April 1, for Crystal Springs, the sanitarium for nervous, mental and drug diseases at the- end of the Mt. Tabor car line. The building to be known as the "Morn ingstde House." Is 40 by 120 feet, twp stories, and modern throughout. In the basement of this building a complete NEW BUILDING AT CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MORNTNGStDE HOUSE. laundry plant for the entire institution Is being Installed. This structure makes a total, great and small, of fifteen buildings in the plant, and represents nearly 12 years of assidu ous labor on the part of Dr. H. W. Coe, still at the head of the Institution, and those who have, from time to time, had to do with its work and management, jr. R. L. Gillespie, one of the owners, who has devoted several years of exclu sive work to the institution, is resident medical director, while Dr. William House is resident physician. Mr. R. M. Tuttle, a successful business man, has recently acquired the Interest held for a year by Dr. W. T. Williamson, who has retired. To Mr. Tuttle has gone the exclusive business management of the institution; the medical officers being now relieved of all such labors. The relief from business cares which now comes to the medical staff by the entire separation of business and pro fessional departments Is proving highly advantageous to the medical department, and it Is believed that .this arrangement Is to be markedly approved by the pa trons of the institution. Mr. Joseph Jacobberger Is the- architect of the new building. PREACHER CAW00D AT WORK Attends Mission Meeting and Talks With His Church Members. Occupying a conspicuous seat in front of an audience of Free Methodists, smil ing as the brethren and sisters shouted praises as the words of the speaker en thused them, sat Dr. E. E. Cawood yester day afternoon at the Olive Branch Mission on First street. He did not take an ac tive part in the services, but listened in tently to the words of condolence of the speaker of the afternoon as he mentioned the 'affair at Goldendale, Wash. Cawood evidently wishes to be considered in the role of a hero. He moves about the mis sion speaking with this one and that and telling them all. that his experience was no more than that of Jesus and many of the disciples ages ago. He thinks that a coat of tar and feathers administered, as in his case. Is the best evidence of the sin of the world and the necessity of its redemption. "Was not Christ persecuted?" asks Cawood. "Can I do more than the Master In whose foot steps I am following?" It has been rumored that Cawood was forced from the Methodist Episcopal Church, but this was denied by the offi cials of that denomination. They say that he withdrew from the sect to take up the work of the Free Methodists. WILL HAVE TO GIVE HIS BOND Bench Warrant Issued for Benjamin F. MInton, Land-Fraud Witness. Benjamin F. MInton, indicted with Henry Meldrum in connection with an alleged fraudulent survey in Southern Oregon, is wanted by the Federal au thorities to give his bond of $4000 as required by the order of the court. MInton was indicted about February first, and has not up to this time come to the Marshal with the amount of his bond. He was in Portland prior to the indictment as a witness before the grand Jury, but was allowed to .return to his home at Everett until such a time as he should be wanted. It Is not thought that there will be any trouble in finding the defendant as up to this time he has not been notified in any official way that he should report in Portland with his bond. It will now be necessary to send a copy of the indict ment together with a bench warrant calling for his presence In Portland to the United States Marshal at Tacoma, who will serve the papers on the nan at his home near Everett. MInton, it is said, will be one of the Government witnesses when the case is called, and he Is therefore looked upon as Important by those handling the Government interests. Frazler Arguments Heard. Arguments relative to the' claim of Multnomah County against William Frazler. ex-Sheriff, amounting to about $3000. -were heard yesterday by Judge Webster and County Commissioners Barnes and Ughtner. The claim is based on a report filed by George Black, expert accountant, who exam ined the books of the various offices in the county a year ago. John H. Hall, attorney for Frazler, offered to pay $750 in settlement. The. account in cludes $1700 fees for Sheriffs deeds, which it is said Fraxicr ought to have collected, and in most cases failed to I collect, the fee amounting to 32. Mr. Hall said there was a-dlspute as to the liability of Mr. Frailer' as to most of the items charged against him, depend ing upon tho legal construction placed on the law. Charles H. Carey argued the case for the county. A decision will be rendered Friday. PE0P0SALS TOR JETTY WORK Bids for Stone to Be Used Are Opened by Major Langfitt. Proposals for furnishing stone for the Columbia River Jetty under an emergency contract were opened by Major W. C. Jangfltt yesterday. The advertisement for these proposals specified, a delivery of 10,000 tons of rock, delivery to begin Im mediately, and bids were entered by the following: Columbia Contract Company, delivery by barze at Fort Stevens: ,9S cents per ton. , W. H. Cole, delivery by rail from May ger's quarry; fl.07 per ton. E. T. Johnson, delivery by rail from Mayger's quarry; $1.15 per ton. The differential between the water and rail delivery as figured by the Govern ment last year was 11 cents, and it will be approximately that figure on this sea son's deliveries. . This emergeucy contract for the 10.000 tons Is additional to the requirements for the season's work, for which bids were received a short time ago. and the 10.000 tons will be used immediately for the filling up-of low places now existing in MT. TABOR the jetty In order to prevent scouring the channel. The award under this contract will be determined within the next few days and delivery will begin immediately after notification to the successful bidder. Under the terms of tho contract the con tractor will be obliged to deliver 200 tons of stone daily during the first eight days and 300 tons daily thereafter until the completion of the contract. The amount of stone to be used in Jetty construction this year has not yet been determined and cannot be until a decision is reached as to whether the dredge Chinook will be operated or not. Should the Chinook be placed in commis sion it is probable that not more than 350,000 tons of stone can be provided for. while if the dredge is laid up during the Summer, funds will be available for at least 500,000 tons of stone for the jetty. The matter of the operation of the Chinook is now before the department In Washington, where the decision will be given. From the past work . of the Chinook, and the small amount of funds available. It is extremely probable that the department will incline in favor of spending tho money for actual Jetty con struction. The stone used this year will go largely toward the completion of the extension of the 7500 feet made last year. This por tion of the Jetty is still uncompleted as to height and will be entirely filled and completed before any new extension Is begun. Should a sufficient amount of stone remain after this completion it will be used for extension work. The local officials of the Engineers De partment are still awaiting the receipt of official notification of the appropria tion as allowed In the river and harbor bill before taking any actual steps toward work. Everything is in readiness, however, for the beginning of the work under the various improvements as soon as the notification is receh-ed. STRIKE HAY SOON BE BROKEN Men Anxious to Get Back to Work and Draw Salary. At an unusually well-attended meeting iasi nignt ot tne board of governors hav ing the strike at the Fair grounds in charge strong pressure was brought to bear to force the board to declare an end. Though the tone of the board was against peace, the strike may be declared oft very soon, possibly this mornlnc. The leaders will make such a move much against their will, as they hooe to stand out for aid from outside cities, but xne men wno wisn to return to work and yet remain In their unions have one un answerable argument to bring forward. that work on the Fair grounds has gone on Just as if there were no strike on, and that the strikers might as well yield gracefully and obtain a portion of the wages being paid out. as stand around till the strike dies a natural death. Never before since the strike has been declared has there been such insistent harping upon this argument as now. It has never been fully urttrstood by the strikers that they had altogether lost. The board of governors has held out hope of one kind or another, which, sounded well to men anxious to hear it, but. never theless, did not buy anybody dinner. Now the bunch of remaining strikers, a com paratively formidable body, wish to see an end made for their own interests. The pressure they have used may bring .peace Immediately, and before the day Is out they may be permitted to go back to work. SPEAKS TO AUDIENCE OF MEN Secretary Goodman, of Y. M. C. A., Depicts Extension of Association. Fred S. Goodman, one of the interna tional secretaries of the Y. M. C. A., ad dressed an audience of young men at the Association Auditorium last evening. Mr. Goodman devotes his work to the religious end ot the T. M. C A. He showed a num ber of stereopticon views depicting the ex tension of the association into the work shops and factories of the Eastern cities. Mr. Goodman then spoke In glowing terms of the great Chapman revival which, opens in Portland March 22. He spoke of the great good that had always been accomplished by well-conducted re vivals. "Personal effort is one of the most Imporant factors In the success of revivals." said Mr. Goodman. "Sinners may be greatly Impressed through listen ing to the wonderful addresses delivered by powerful evangelists, but they must be approached by parties who take a per sonal Interest In them. It Is then that they make the decision for the kingdom of God." "The Best Pill I ever used." Is the fre quent remark of purchasers of Carter's Little Liver Pills. Whea you try "'them you win say tne FOR MORE TRAINS independence Residents Pass Strong Resolutions, OFFICIALS CONSIDER MATTER Small " Towns Along Portland and Yamhill Divisions Still Fight for Better Transportation Facil ities to and From Here. The matter of supplying the small towns along the Portland and Yamhill divisions of the Southern Pacific with more fre quent train service has been under con sideration by the railroad officials. Gen eral Manager Worthlngton. when making a tour of the West Side lines, in an ad dress before the Independence Improve ment League, stated that he had the matter under advisement. He stated that he could give no answer to the demands for additional train service for the reason that he was a new man in the territory and not yet acquainted with the condi tions. It is believed . by many that some changes will be made, as Mr. Worthlng ton, as well as the other railway offi cials who accompanied him on the trip, seemed delighted with the towns and surrounding country along the West Side lines, and predicted a rapid and healthy growth for that section. Mr. Worthlng ton stated, however, that the West Bide lines, as a whole, were not a paying in vestment for the railroad company. Ac cording to Mr. Worthlngton's estimate it costs about $100 a day to run a train between Portland and Independence, a distance of 76 miles. Independence is not alone in her fight for more adequate train service. New- berg, Amity, and other points on the Yamhill and West Side divisions are feel ing the need ot additional service as Spring opens and tho travel Increases. They say that the need of better service is greater now than ever before. They say thousands and thousands of home seekers will stop over at the small towns this Spring with a view to locating. They say the Inadequate train service will un doubtedly create an unfavorable impres sion with many of them and result In many of the prospective settlers locating elsewhere. Some reference has been made to the express that was put on the line in '3S. and attention called to the fact that it did not pay. The people of the small towns say there has been a wonderful change In the country since then and that It Is more thickly populated and has been greatly developed since then. It Is said that If the evening train which Is now sent out to Sheridan over the West Side line was sent on tho Inde pendence and Corvallls instead of switch ing off at Whlteson it would greatly rem edy the present conditions. Then a morning train out of Portland to Sheridan over the Yamhill division would not only accommodate Sheridan but meet the needs of the Newbeg people and all others along the Yamhill line. The following resolutions asking for bet ter service were adopted by the Inde pendence Improvement League at its last meeting: "Whereas. The train service on the West Side division of the Southern Pacific Rail road In the Willamette Valley is wholly In adequate to accommodate the public; and Whereas, The Willamette Valley Is now In the midst of a great and continued com mercial rrowth and nrosnerltv by reason ot Us excellent climate. Its unlimited natural resources, its vast acreage o& timDer, us great hop Industry. Its dairy growth. Its nat ural Increase In stock, hay. and diversified tannine industries; and, v Whereas, There Is a great growth from the continued Increase of Immigration frozr the overcrowded, freezing and burning East; and. Whereas, The present passenger service Is wholly inefficient to meet tho growing de mand for better accommodations; and. Whereas. The great National Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition Is now about upon us; and. "Whereas, The passenger service" Is now so poor that tho citizens In the Willamette Valley will be unable to attend the Fair and return the same day; and. Whereas, There Is now no morning train from Portland on the Yamhill division, and no morning train to Portland for that Im mense territory lying south of Whlteson on the Corvallls division of the Southern Pacific system; and. Whereas. By the addition of one train dally this could be augmented, and a better, closer and perfect system to the whole "Wil lamette Valley could be Inforced; therefore, be It Resolved, by the Independence Improve ment League of Independence, Or., as fol lows, to-wlt; First That we ask the Southern Pacific Railroad officials tor better transportation facilities upon the West Side of the Wil lamette River. Second That we correspond with the City of Newberg, which Is making for an Im proved service, and whose inefficient service we can readily see, and with whose condi tion we are parallel in Inefficiency. Third That we take up the matter of bet ter service with all the valley towns that have heretofore made complaint to us re garding thetn present poor passenger service. Fourth That we circulate a petition in the City of Independence, and along the line ot the Southern Pacific Railroad In this county, to anew the general complaint and dissatis faction among the people with the present Inefficient service. Fifth That we ask for the change of, service to take effect Immediately, and that the same be changed and established as fol lows: First That the Corvallls-Portland train be continued on its present run and practically as at the present time. Second That a morning train leave Cor vallls or Idependence In 'the morning and re turn In the evening, said schedule to be so arranged as to accommodate all the public along said line. Third We ask that the best connections possible be made at Whlteson between train coming and going in order to accommodate the two divisions on the West Side. We believe that by the Introduction of one new train the whole of the West Side. division would- receive a close connection In transportation facilities that would accom modate the traveling public for years to come, and which could not but redound to the benefit of toe Southern Pacific Railroad In increased transportation. The "Willamette Valley Is Just merging on a period of great activity and prosperity, and with the In crease ot wealth and commercial power comes the necessity for the Increase o pas senger traffic accommodations. While a few years ago the trains on the West Side were not crowded and the passenger travel was small, we find those conditions augmented at the present time, and the great Harrl man system is finding it necessary to rebuild and remodel Its Oregon system owing to the great increase of travel and call for better service. The trains both In and out of Port land are now crowded, extra cars have been added to haul the passenger travel, and the baggage and express service has been al most doubled and conditions demand that the Southern Paclflc keep In advance of the growth and development of the Willamette Valley. The great Harrlman lines are now receiving great wealth from the Immense traffic they are carrying from the East to Oregon and It behooves this great company to keep these conditions continually In force that Its service may be bettered and that the continued Sow of immigration shall come. Therefore, be It Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mr. Worthlngton, of the South ern Pacific Railroad, and that copies he seal to (he New berg Commercial Club and other commercial bodies on the West Side. 0 ordered.

Candidates are making their appear ance on tne East Side. In the Seventh for Councilman A. G. Rushlight, Louis Daue, W. H. Gordon, M. G. Griffith, E. Gunderson.. S. F. White and some others ure mentioned. D. M. Donaugh. of Sell wood, a Democrat, is also mentioned. Mr. Donaugh is president of the Sell wood Board of Trade, and is quite pop ular in Sellwood. Councilman Dan Sher rett. wno has been Councilman for two years, it is said, will run again. He has been able to beat the Republican candi dates at two elections. In the Eighth Ward Sam Mason is the latest addition to the list. He Is an old Republican war horse. Next come J. A. Newell. W. B. Hall. Edward Ren fer. F. L. Posse 11 and some others. Sun nyside will likely have a candidate. ' In the Ninth Ward, Albina, George Lewis is the only outspoken candidate for Councilman. He says he will make the run as a citizen, regardless of poll tics. R. E. L. Simmons also is men tioned, but he says he is not a candi date. The Ninth Ward may offer a candi date for Mayor in the person of Judge T. W. Vreeland. an old resident and for two terms Justice of the East Side Court. His friends in his 'ward think he would be good timber for that place. L. T. Peery. In Upper Albina, a prom inent Democratic politician, is men tioned as a possible candidate for Mayor. "The only obstacle in the way of a Democrat getting an office in thi3 city." remarked Mr. Peery yesterday, "is the big Republican majority, but if Mayor Williams and another good man should be candidates there might be a chance for a Democrat to 3lip in, but the chance is very slim." Down in the big Tenth it is hard to find a candidate, but the names of W. C Peddicord, of University Park; M. E. Thompson, of Multnomah Addition; W. H. Moore, of North Albina, are men tioned. However, It is probable that Councilman Flegel could be re-elected should he desire to stay in the Council. Thinks Planets Are Keeling Over. CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. March 15. Har vard's astronomers expect to prove or disprove a new theory concerning the nebular hypothesis through the discovery of the seventh satellite of Jupiter by Pro fessorPIbkerlng, of Lick Observatory, and the explanation of the retrograde motion of Phoebe, ninth satellite of Saturn, dis covered by him in March, 1S3S. Phoebe was found to be traveling In the opposite direction from any known satellite, and Mr. Pickering conceived the idea that when first cast off it was mov ing in a retrograde motion, but as Saturn gradually "keeled over" the planet's mo tion changed, until it was finally rotating directly. Tho other satellites were thrown off after this motion changed, but Phoebe maintained its original motion from right to left. His theory Is that all planets have keeled over or are keeling over.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most e?3clent disinfect' act and purlt-er In nature, but few realize its valuo when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
