THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APRIL 10, .1905. CAUSE OF COLLAPSI Madrid Reservoir Rested on Old Water-Pipes. WHOLE CITY IS. IN MOURNING Ten of the Rescued Workmen Go Maci Material Condemned'as De fectiveKing Watches Work, and Visits Injured. MADRID, April 9. It appears that un derneath the foundations of the reservoir which gave way with such disastrous re sults on Saturday were water pipes used to supply the palace and old Madrid. It is stated that fills was the cause of the subsidence and not the surface of the ground, which, when tests were made, j-ank only 11 millimeters. The vault was lmilt of coment with Iron girders, as were also the supporting columns. The first fall caused all the millarE to bend and the end of the Iron work to stretch, resulting In a general and uniform collapse. Tiiese explanations, "however, cannot be consid ered final. Madrid newspapers publish assertions that the disaster bad been foreseen by en gineers as well as by workmen. It is now recalled that the bad condition of the soil on which the reservoir was constructed caused keen opposition and numerous criticisms when the scheme was being discussed jn the courts. Workmen, who have been questioned say that they were compelled to build too rapidly with materials so defective that a disaster was bound to happen. Many heartrending incidents and pain ful scenes are reported. Ten of those who wore rescued alive have gone mad. A huge crowd stood around the scene throughout the night watching the at tempts at rescue in the light of huge elec tric lamps. v Crowds of workmen and women carry ing flags forced all the theaters to close Saturday night. King Alfonso had a. telephone "wire laid from the scene of the disaster to the pal ace and was kept constantly Informed. The King again visited the hospitals this morning. Some of the Injured have died. One body was recovered from the ruins during the night, but none later. Seven hundred workmen are engaged in clear ing the debris. During the day students and workmen paraded the streets collecting money for the families of victims of the disaster. The public is contributing freely. The Governor of Madrid has prohibited a great popular tdemonstration of mourn ing which the workmen wished to organ ize, but he received the delegates of the workmen's associations, whom he In formed that a street procession would be permitted under certain restrictions. An exact estimate of the casualties Is still impossible, but it is stated that there were 236 men in the lower part of the reservoir, all of whom were killed. WORKMEN CARRY BLACK FLAGS Police Are Stoned When They Seize Emblems of Sorrow. MADRID, April 9. Carrying black ban ners, 50,000 workmen made a demonstra tion this afternoon near the scene of Sat urday's reservoir disaster. The police, on seizing the flags, were stoned by the crowd and several -on. both sides were severely injured. Alfonso Goes to Storm Center. MADRID, April 3.

(12:40 A. M.) George V. L. Meyer, the new Amer ican Ambassador to St. Petersburg, made his first call yesterday on Foreign Minis ter Lamsdorff, who extended an unusually cordial greeting. The exchanges, how ever, were devoid of significance, and neither war nor peace was mentioned Emperor Nicholas probably will receive Mr. Meyer on "Wednesday, when the lat ter will present his letters of credence. British Sovereigns in Minorca. PORT MAHON, Island of Minorca, April 9. King Edward and Queen Alex andra, who sailed from Marseilles on Sat urday on board the British royal yacht Victoria and Albert, arrived here today. "When they landed they were given a demonstrative welcome.

It is stated on reliable authority that at the meeting of Empe ror "William, and King Victor Emmanuel at Naples on Friday, Morocco was not discussed. Press Agent for Czar. Baltimore Herald. .rne uzar ot Kussia needs a press agent. He doesn't lenow what Is going on in his empire, and the grand dukes and others who control things refuse to let him have the newspapers, espe daily those published In foreign coun tries, so that the poor ruler gets only one side, or no side of the troubles. Quite a number of press agents are at llborty In America. Not a few of them have written up for the news papers such lurid copy about actors and actresses that the players have bean unable to live up to the roputa tions manufactured for them by 'the imaginative writers, and henco separa tions have occurred. Apart from these, however, the Czar can engage able and trustworthy writ ers in the United States who will see that he gets the news If they are guar anteed protection from the grand dukes and their supporters. A .food, live American reporter could give the Czar more Information in a. month about his empire and people than he has ever had.' The job being attended with dif ficulties, of course, a. salary equal to that of a major-general would be ex pected. It might be necessary also to provide a bomb-proof suit of armor and a steel car for traveling purposes. But the , American reporter would set tho news.

Although the price of nearly all kinds of food has risen within a few years. It Is practically Impossible to ascertain the ex act Increased cost of living. The Bureau of Labor Statistics at Washington has been trying to do this. For the purpose of Its study of the diet of working peo pie. It Inquired Into the habits of 13.000 persons "who live In cities in 33 states, From this study was constructed an "av erage" family, consisting of 5.31 persons. Tho family income is 5527.19 a year, of which $326.90 is spent for food. This Is an average of a little less than $S.30 a week, or 90 cents a day for the whole family about 17 cents a day per person.

MORMONS SPIT FIRE Conference Ends With Denun ciation of Critics', WOULD HORSEWHIP THEM Kimball Says President Smith Saved Them From Such a Fate Apostle Smith. Claims Roosevelt as Friend of Church. SALT LAKE CITY, April 9. The 75th annual conference of the Mormon Church closed today, after the members present had unanimously voted it the best "con ference in the hiBtory of the church. Those who recently have attacked the church and Its leaders were referred to in an address by J. Golden Kimball,' one of the first seven presidents of seventies. who said: "If It were not for Joseph F. Smith. a man of God, who restrains his children and they are obedient to their father. I want to tell you that there would be some men here horsewhipped. But his children obey him, and he Is a man of God and needs no apology." President Kimball denounced President Smith's critics as traitors to the church, and added: "If you want to go to hell, black your boots and go like a gentleman, not like a traitor." Apostle Hyrum Mack Smith, son of President Joseph' Smith, also attacked the critics of the church, especially news paper writers, and said President Roose velt was obliged to have a guard when he traveled because of the libelous state ments and cartoons about him lrv the newspapers. Apostle Smith said further: In President Roosevelt we have a friend, and he has friends among the Latter-Day Saints. And we will be true to him and true to Old Glory, because we arc a true -people. President Roosevelt will give us a square deal. "We will do all we can to sustain President Roose velt, for we are true to him and we will demonstrate it In the future as we have In the past." Sailors and Longshoremen The following statement as to differ-- ences between the Sailors' Union and lo cal stevedores and longshoremen, is sub mitted by A. Furuseth, secretary of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific: There Is trouble between the seamen and longshoremen along this coast, and Portland has seen signs of It, In some street rows, in some cases 'In the Police Court, and latest In the arrest and trial of the Se&men's . Union agent on charge of violating the state law under which sailors' boarding-houses are con ducted, the charge against the agent being that of harboring seamen. From the wltneesea produced It appears that behind the proee- f-cutlon are the stevedore, the longshoremen and the licensed boarding-house keepers. The stevedores want to contract for the loading of 'Vessels, that would Increase their busi ness; the boarding-house ring wants to fur nish men for the vessel, on account ot the allotment or advance and the blood money, that would increase their proflts;the long shoremen want more steady employment. and they easily persuade themselves that the sailor's work Is to sail the vessel alter she Is ready for sea. The stevedored and boarding-house keepers have at all times and In all places worked together, and have usually succeeded In us Ing the longshoremen to advance their own Interests as against that ot the seamen, the vessels and the seaports In which they have been powerful for political or other reasons. Organized longshoremen have at times re fused to be used; at other times their very organisation made them more valuable in the. hands of the two other Interests. Seamen Mere Chattels. ' While the seamen are mere chattels lthe property of the vessel, tied to It, a the slave was tied to the plantation, aa Is yet the case of the foreign seamen In our ports and ours in foreign ports under treaties with other nations), tho crimp Is an &!d to the seaman who wants to desert, to the captain who wants to get rid of his men to save trouble, and the owner who desires to nave expense by desertion of the crew. In com munities without registration laws he has been an effective aid to the political boss In election times and in return has had protec tlon of the boss and assistance In evading the Federal law In so far 'as It was troublesome to blm. These conditions gave him his power: the advance and blood money gave him his Income. Generally the only one hurt was the seaman, who, having neither freedom to act, nor friends to act for him. was helpless. ' About 20 yearn ago the seamen began to organize on this coast. The purpose was to abolish the crimping system, the advance and blood money, to generally Improve the condition afloat and on shore, and to win for the men going to sea the same personal lib erty that had years ago been granted to working men on shore. Agitation, eduea tlon and a persistent struggle for legislation resulted In 1S9S In the paesage of a law which made of the seamen In American ve sels. while In. the United States or near-by foreign countries, a free man; free to fulfil or to violate any contract for personal serv ice or labor while lying In harbor, the free dom given to all other white workers with in the United States some 70 years, to the blacks some 40 years, earlier. This same act of Congress prohibited all allotment or advance of wages In the coast wise trade, and reduced It In the foreign trade to one month s wages as a maximum. Unfortunately "remuneration for the ship ment of 6eamen (blood money) was per xnltted, and the crimp could continue to "cinch" tKe owners when men are scarce. and the seamen, when they are plentiful. This Inevitable result was pointed out to Sen ators who favored It; but powerful Interests among the vessel-owners wanted It, and the warning was unheeded. Seamen Perfect Organisation. The seamen eagerly used the boon of free dom to extend and perfect their organ !za tlon. which again Insisted upon tho strict en forcement ot the new laws. Allotment or advance in the coastwise trade became thing of the past; violation of the allotment law In foreign or foreign-going American vessels were prosecuted, and where the Sea men's Union was there the law was enforced in so . far as the officials would act. Seamen who bad shipped to go to a foreign port via, some other American port, where the vessel was loaded, remained In their ves sels and In accordance with law, alone or with the help of longshoremen, loaded the ves sels. This cut Into the business of the irteve dore and the profits of the crimps, while 1 distinctly benefited the seamen, the owners of vessels and the ports In question. On this coast the City of Portland remained for a long time untouched by the new con dltlons, and when men signed shipping ar ticles In San Tedro or San Francisco to go to some foreign port via Fortland, It meant that the crew would be compelled to Ieav the vessel in this nlace. The stevedores would get the contract for loading and the crimps would furnish the men, charging the men and the vessels "all that the traffic would bear." Seamen complained to the!: organization and owners of vessels belonging to this Coast urged- that the Seamen's Union open a branch in Portland to stop as far as possible this nefarious traffic. In 1902, the Summer, men were sent from San Fran Cisco to man coastwise vessels going oft shore: this was done at great expense to the union and the vessel-owners, and In Jan uary. 1003. the union opened a branch In this city. The purpose was and Is to abolish advance and blood money In coasting ves sels 'going off shore and to furnish a place where the Idle seaman, sailing In the coast wise trade or to foreign ports In coastwls vessels might be found by captains needing them, without expense to either party. This .-r? ln lUlfiCaXi OX t gftrfT-i t longshoremen and the boarding-house keep ers In the trial of D. W. Paul, the agent of the Sailor's Union. In Portland. Beginning of Trouble. -During 1001 In the Summer, there was .an unfortunate labor struggle In San Francisco. It began with the teamsters, and extended to the longshoremen and seamen. It prac tically stopped the maritime commerce of that city for about two montns. For tho first time It was realized that the free sea man was . pouible great industrial factor, and that to control the Seamen's Union or prevent the seamen from organizing was one of the problems confronting the stevedores, the crimps and such owners as were disin clined to pay living wages to men going to sea. Daniel J. Keefe. the .president of the In ternational Longshoremen's Association, came to this Coast on a visit, studied the situa tion, consulted with the stevedores and some shipowners, and when the International Long shoremen's Association met in convention In the Summer of 1002, the alms and objects of that organization were so enlarged as to Include the organization of Marine and Trans port "Workers with the Longshoremen. By ob taining Industrial jurisdiction over the sea men. It would be easy for the longshoremen, being necessarily In majority In all such conventions, to allot to the seamen, such Work as the stevedores and longshoremen did cot want, and In other ways to deter mine the wages and other conditions under which seamen should work or strike. Such condition would manifestly put the steady flow ot marl 11 me commerce at the mercy of men on shore, men generally as Ignorant and careless of the seamen's condition as the average citizen is of the condition obtaining In the Interior of China. To the seamen would be lost through organization what had been gained by legislation, and to the ship owner would come trouble and expense with out any material compensation from any Increased efficiency in the men obtainable. Seamen Enter Protest. The seamen protested at the convention ot the American Federation of Labor at New Orleans, and the request of the Longshore men for a change In their name and juris diction was refused. The name Internation al Longshoremen, Marine and Transport "Workers had. been assumed; It was kept and brought as prominently before the public as possible until It was beginning to be generally "believed that the seamen were. or ought to be, a part of this supposedly large combination. On one hand legislators. on the other large employers of labor, where appealed to under this new name and unless the seamen were willing to sacrifice their own Interests, that of their craft, and their employers as well, steps have been taken to stop this wholesale misrepresentation. The American Federation of Labor was appealed to at Boston In 1003 and at San Francisco 1904; but without any tangible results. The conventions refused to Issue charter under the new name and jurisdiction; but were unwilling or unable to prevent the misrep resentation continuing. At their coast meeting in Astoria during 1004 the Longshoremen adopted a resolution binding themselves to refuse to work with the crew In any vessel going to foreign ports. "What the stevedores and boarding- house keepers promised them In return does not appear, but may be surmised from the lively Interest taken In the trial of the Seamen'B Union agent. The resolution was made applicable to the whole Coast; but has not been seriously enforced except In this city, where In some Instances the crews were- forced out through the willingness of masters or owners. In others through appli cation of physical force. That the seamen will not permit them selves to be driven out of the vessels on which they have signed and thereby losing the money earned In bringing the vessels to this port Is certain; unless the people of Portland shall through misinformation on these matters be induced to use the power ot tbe state and city against tbe law and the seamen, and In support of tbe stevedores and crimps. This Is hardly thinkable, and here as In other places on this Coast the men. going to sea will ultimately have a fair chance. The Interest of the country, which demands seamen, and of the city and state, which want to redeem Its good name, will assure to the seamen a fair chance, even If the union should ultimately be' compelled to bring to this city from other places the necessary number of men to do such wor! the longshoremen may refuse to do. In the beginning of January, this year, the seamen of this Coast adopted a general ballot and a practically unanimous vote, a resolution, declaring that they would not recognize as union men any longshoremen who were then or should be members of the so-called International Longshoremen, Marine and Transport "Workers" Association. For the legitimate longshoremen the -sea men have none but the kindliest of feelings and best wishes and they desire for them success In their efforts to Improve their con dition as workers and as citizens; but with longshoremen who Insist upon having a right to determine the condition under which men going to sea are to work or refuse to work, there can be little sympathy, and when they ally themselves with the steve dores to drive seamen out of their vessels and into idlneas and with the crimps to perpetuate the crimping system, there can be no peace except when the longshoremen shall realize that the seamen, too. are men with right to live. Let the longshoremen cease to claim jurisdiction over seamen and break off the alliance with the crimps; It will be better so for them, the seamen. and the employers of both. It will be better for the commerce ot the City of Portland and It can harm no one but the crimps. LIVED TOGETHER, DEE TOGETHER Aged Husband and Wife Within Few Hours. Expire NEW YORK, April 10.

Traveling in the interior of East Africa, an Englishman, Mr. Charles Bulpett, tells the following thrilling Incident which took place at a spot about 500 miles In land from Mombasa In a letter to a friend In England: "The narrowest escape I have had was from a lion about a month ago. I went Into the thick thorn bush after him. which was rather mad. But he would not come out. and I was determined to get him. He charged me where the bush was all In his favor. I knocked him over with two bullets, but still he came on, and I had nothing for It but to run. "When I knocked him over with the second barrel he was within a yard of me. He mde a grab at me. and with a pro digious effort I managed to jump onto the top of a thorn bush. There we were, he looking at me and I at him about three feet above his head. I expected to be dragged down at every moment, but as It 'turned out he was too far gone, and I called out to somebody to come into the bush and finish him. "Last night." adds Mr. Bulpett, "I slept on the equator, my legs to the south of it and my head to the north, the small of my back on the line. "The East African Protectorate Is a very fine country for white settlers, with a perfect climate, and yet it Is proposed to give a large tract to. a number of for eign Jews for nothing."
