TACOMA CREW'8 ADVENTURES
Expected Steamer to Be Crushed by
the Ice Pack.
YOKOHAMA, March 29. The crew of
the steamer Tacoma, owned by the
Northwest Commercial Steamship Com
pany, of Seattle, which was captured by
the Japanese, March 14, north of the
Island of Hokkaido, arrived here today
and were released. The crew tell a
graphic story of their adventures in the
Ice floes from February 4' to March 14.
The Tacoma left Seattle at midnight,
January 5, and on January 14 reached
Dutch Harbor, where she coaled. On Feb
ruary 4 the vessel became helplessly ice
3ound north of Hokkaido Island, and was
seriously threatened by the heavy ice
pack, which crashed and pounded against
her sides with a report that could be
heard for miles. The decks and rigging
were covered with hundreds of tons of
ice. The crew expected that tho vessel
would be crushed, and made sleds so as
to be prepared to seek land.
The supply of coal ran short and the
fires were put out, which resulted In many
of the crew nearly freezing to death. Pro
visions also ran short, and the cargo of
beef had to be broached.
On March 11, the Tacoma drifted in the
midst of an Ice floe only half a mile from
the dangerous rock near which the Brit
ish steamer Mars stranded a few days
later.
On March 14 the Tacoma encountered
a Japanese warship, by which she was
seized.
The courtesy of the Japanese is praised
by the officers and crew of the Tacoma,
who say they expect to return to the
United States on the steamer Minnesota.

SAYS FERRY IS ALL RIGHT
Indorsement of President Fuller,
Who Leased the Lionel Webster.
In regard to the steering and other qual
ities of the new Alblna ferry, Lionel A.
"Webster, about which a controversy has
been raised, Fred A. Ballln, who designed
the boat, has received a strong letter
from President Fuller, of the Portland
Consolidated Railway, who praises the
boat in every respect. The railway com
pany leased tho ferry and operated her
for elx weeks at Vancouver, beginning
November 13. She ran every day from 6
A. M. to 1 A. M., and proved entirely
satisfactory. After the captain became
used to her Bhe steered easier than the
oid ferry Vancouver, and no trouble was
experienced In making landings. Some
of the worst storms of the "Winter oc
curred while she was in use on the Co
lumbia, and though no cable was used,
the boat handled perfectly. President
Fuller stated that although the" Webster
is larger than the Vancouver, she proved
to "be the more economical of the two
and gave the better service.
This Indorsement of the new boat by a
man who has put her to practical use has
convinced Mr. Ballln that the trouble ex
perienced on the recent trial was not due
to the boat itself.

UNDER A.A.U. RULES
Exposition Sports to Be Held
Under National Auspices.
KULTN0MAH MEN DECIDE
If tJorth Pacific Association Gov
erned Athletic Meets, Athletes
Would Be Disbarred From .
Participation In Events.
Rather than have a clash with the
Amateur Athletic Union, the parent
body of all athletics, the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club has decided that
it will bo better to bold the Exposi
tion sports under the rules of the union
instead of the North Pacific Amateur
Athletic Association as .proposed.
When the direction and control of all
sports to b'e held at the Lewis and
Clark Fair was given to the Multnomah.
Club it was decided they should be
governed "by the rules of the North
Pacific Association. This announcement
has brought out a letter from Herbert
Hauser, of San Francisco, secretary of
the Paclflc Athletic Association of the
union, to George McMillan, Oregon com
missioner of the union. This letter,
which threatens disqualification to all
taking part In tho Exposition sports If
held under rules other than those of the
union, reads as follows:
Dear Bin Mr. Douthltt, our "Washington
commissioner. Informs me that the Seattle
Athletic Club Is taking in athletes indiscrimi
nately, with the intention of talcing them to
Portland to compete at tho Exposition this
Summer. Unfortunately, I have not heard
ffrom. you for tome time regarding the pros
pects for athletics at the Fair, so. in order
that I may be better Informed. I would like
to hear from you as soon as possible, as to
the prospects. Of course, if the Exposition
gives anything In the athletic line it will haTe
to be under A A. U. control, or else it will
professionalize all those concerned. The as
sociation Is contemplating on sending a team
up. If matters are put under our control.
At a meeting of the board of direc
tors and the various committees of the.
Multnomah Club .this matter was
brought up for consideration.
Will Concede to A. A. U.
H. W. Kerriiran. chairman of fh
athletic committee and of the commit
tee which will handle the Exposition
sports, is also secretary -and treasurer
of the North Pacific Amateur Athletic
Association. He introduced the subject
by stating what had been done in re
gard to the Fair sports, and spoke of
the letter Just received by Mr. McMil
lan. He followed with the explanation
of why the association had been
formed, stating that while in the Pa
cific Northwest records had been made
from time to time. It had been abso
lutely Impossible to obtain even the
slightest recognition from the Amateur
Athletic Union, even though members
of that body. For this reason the asso
ciation ha.d been formed to embrace
Oregon. Washington,' British Columbia,
Idaho and Montana, and that for the
past few years the athletic meets of
this territory had been held under the
new association.
"I do not believe, however." Mr. Kerri
gan a!d, "that It Is advisable to take
the chance of a possible clash with the
Amateur AthleUc Union. It Is not the
threat of Mr. Hauser that gives me this
opinion, but the fact that the Union
could give us a great deal of trouble
and .seriously hurt the success of the
Exposition sports. It simply amounts to
this, that If the Amateur Athletic Union
should disqualify any of those entering
our Exposition sports, such athletes
would never be able to compete in any
other part of the United States again,
and this would deter many from com
peting in our events. This would neces
sarily work to our disadvantage, and I
am sure what we want above all things
Is to make our management of the Expo
sition sports successful. For that rea
son, while unwlillng. yet I think we
ought to give up the Idea of holding
them under the Association and procure
the sanction of the Union. In that way
every man will be safe in entering."
H. H. Hcrdman, president of the As
sociation, followed and expressed himself
as being in thorough sympathy with the
views of Mr. Kerrigan.
The matter will now be taken up with
INTERIOR OF SMOKING COMPARTMENT OF THE
The picture herewith reproduced shows the Interior of the smoldnc compartment of the new 60-ton observation car which was sent out over the Portland
San Francisco run of the Southern Paciflo last alcht. The car la the largest and heaviest of any ever brought Into the terminal yards and Is the most mod
ern In construction and equipment. The smoking compartment Is built along- one side of the car, leaving a wide passage way on the other side, while the win
dows are so arranged that the view is unobstructed from either side. It will accommodate about 11 people. To the rear of this Is the library and back of that Is
the general drawing-room for the accommodation of both ladies and gentlemen.
The car Is finished In oak. beautifully grained and polished. The drawing-room Is .upholstered In plush, while the smoking compartment. Is provided wlfhr
chalrs- done in rawhide. .Throughout the car Is the best arranged and not convenient of any in the Vest. There will be nve of the 'same type used between
Roseburg and Oakland. CaL, on trains Ti and IS.- .
the other members oft the North Pacific
Association to procure their assent. Some
difficulty Is anticipated with Seattle, elnce
the club there is thoroughly opposed to
the Amateur Athietlc Union.
The meeting held last night was one of
the new features introduced recently for
the betterment of the club. The directors
and members of all committees and sub
committees met for dinner at the Com
mercial Club. After the dinner an In
formal discussion was held concerning the
present condition ..of the dub, and what
might be done to advance It. The chair
man of each committee spoke of what
was being done In his department, and
those who had ideas for improvement
suggested them. By such meetings It Is
expected that the condition of the club
will be vastly improved, as all committees
work In harmony, and with the knowl
edgs of what each one is doing.

MURPHY TO IMPROVE STROKE
Candidates for Crews Will Soon
Make First Appearance.
Unless some interruption la the plans of
Dan Murphy should occur the candidates
for positions In the Portland Rowing
Club's shells will make their first appear
ance on the water this year on either
Saturday or Sunday. Under the direction
of Murphy the shells are being rapidly
got into shape, and the work on the
coaching boats Is nearly completed. The
principal change being made is in the out
riggers. Portlanders in past years have rowed
with a 45-inch spread to the rigger, but
this, to Murphy's idea, is too much and
causes unsteadiness in the stroke. Mur
phy pins his faith to a closer spread and
the riggers are now being cut down to 39
Inches. This will give more steadiness
and consequently Improve the stroke. A
slightly shorter oar will also be used this
year.
