16 THE 3IORXING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JTJXE 27, IPOS, FULL CAPACITY OF TRAIN TRAVEL it May Necessitate Adding Limited Flyer to San Francisco. WAY BE DECIDED TODAY In Proportion to Tributary Popula tion, Travel to Portland's Ex position Exceeds That to Any Other World's Fair. Records of the railroad passenger de partments disclose that local travel to the Lewis and Clark Exposition exceeds that to any other of the xrorld's fairs that have been held in this country, population of tributary country considered. Although the railroads made great preparations for the heavy traffic that it -was anticipated would follow the opening of the Portland Fair, all expectations have been exceeded during the first month, and in preparation for the heavier traffic that is certain to offer during the Summer months, oper ating and traffic departments are engaged in working out plans for increasing ser vice. It Is probable that the Southern Pa cific will put on another through train be tween Portland and San Francisco to meet the demands of travel, and officials have for some time had under considera tion the making of schedules faster than any previously operated, making it a lim ited train on which only passengers hold ing first-class through tickets would be permitted to travel. Upon his return to Portland today, one of the first matters to be referred to Gen eral Manager O'Brien will be the matter of deciding upon whether or not a limited train shall be placed in service. Local traffic Is the cause of the congestion that has made necessary operation of second sections of regular trains, and not through travel; hence, if operated as a limited and confined to through passengers, it would hardly serve the purpose for which' It la intended. Details have tocen worked out as to what schedules would best serve the public for submission to General Manager Calvin, at San Francisco, and General Manager O'Brien, here, and It is under stood that a decision will be reached as soon as consideration can be given at this end. Three months ago there was some thought among officials of putting on a limited train that would make the run between Portland and San Francisco in about 27 hours, but was abandoned as not justified by the volume of through travel. Likewise, at that time plans for another through train between the two Coast points were rejected, because it was thought the traffic could lc more econom ically handled by doubling regular trains in extra sections as found necessary. But the Increase of travel has revived the idea of adding another train. "Northern Pacific trains will be playing to full capacity of their equipment all of this season." said A. D. Charlton, assist ant general passenger agent of that com pany, who has had his finger on the pulse of public travel very closely. "We have a constant stream of business in sight, and reports show that local travel to the Lewis and Clark Exposition exceeds that to any other of the world's fairs that have been held, population considered. Capa city of trains has been exceeded, and sec ond sections have been run frequently to handle the business, with special trains occasionally in addition. Five special trains have been run to accommodate travel to the East since the gates opened the first of this month, which conveys some notion of the number of Eastern peo ple who have been here and already re turned home. We have 50 additional coaches on this end of the road, and they will all be utilized to capacity." Railroad Xotes. Donald Stewart, superintendent of the Great Northern Express Company, head quartors at St. Paul, left yesterday for home, after a brlof visit to the Exposi tion. General Manager T. H. Curtis.

An extra coach was attached to the regular train of the, Astoria & Columbia River road yesterday to accommodate the Utah Press Association, the members of which returned to Portland last night de lighted with their outing at Clatsop beach, notwithstanding the cloudy skies. G. A. Goodell, general superintendent of the Chicago Great Western, of St. Paul, is spending several days in Portland and vicinity with a private car party, to re main until Thursday night. George F.

Fields and the first trip will be made over the main line to Ashland. J. C. Pond, general passenger agent of the Wisconsin Central, who is one of the widely known traffic men of the West and has many admiring friends in Port land's railroad row, is spending a few days here.

City Offenders Before Municipal Judge Hogue Starting at the Oaks and ending in a lively fight in a Chinese noodle estab lishment at Second aad Oak streets; be ing arrested and located up in tae City Jail, fined in the Municipal Court a ad warned never again to become entan gled in trouble or be heavily flseJ. was the experience of Jesse O'Cennell, T. C. Browning. Sadie Beebo and Lil lian Baird. Lillian Baird is the wife of the noted racehorse man, who is now in Denver with his string of crack horses. His wife received a telegram from him yes terday morning to corac home imme diately, and she left the city on the first train after being released from court by Judge Hogue. The quartet, according to the evi dence adduced, went to the Oaks Sun day afternoon for an outing. They re mained long, and after reaching the city again, hunted up the Chinese noo dle restaurant. After feasting; sumptu ously, the men refused to pay the. pro prietor for the noodles. A fight ensued, and the police were called in. Sergeant Taylor, with Policemen Price and Lilli, hurried to the scene and were just in time to catch the men of the party trying to dash out through windows. All were arrosted and marched to headquarters, where each was booked on a charge of disorderly conduct. After hearing the foots in the case. Judge Hoguo assessed O'Connell 419 and Browning 515. The women were released, but Judge Hogue ordered At torney A. Walter Wolfe, who appeared for the defondaats. to toll Mrs. Baird she had bost get out of town quickly, as she was not needed in Portland. Throe "saucy" lads, highly important in their own esteem, were fined by Judge Hogue yesterday, after he hoard the testimony of G. H. Simpson, James V. Sayre and C. C. Hamilton. The boys were Harry Richards, Frank Brandos and Frank Barrens. Richards was lined $10, and the others Jin each. The trouble with the youths was that they attempted to "run" Con lac tor Hamilton's car. bound for the Oaks, one -week ago Sunday evening. The Brandes lad seemed a trifle more ac tive on the car than the others. He had a cam-, it was hown, with which he slapped passengers in the face. He also cursed and usod obecone language, and passengers called the attention of the conductor to it. When Brandes was told ho must quit making trouble, he grew more Insulting than ever, and waa put off the car. Then it was that Richards and Bar rens jumped la and assaulted tho con ductor, and a fierce fight ensued. Later, the lads were arrestod. S. L. Hunter and B. F. Set on wore ar raigned on a charge of fighting and be ing disorderly. It occurred at the Oaks, Sunday evening. Beth .pleaded guilty to the charge. "I did no fighting," volunteered Hunter. "It was my brother who struck the blows." "Why did you plead guilty, then?" asked Judge Hogue. "Well. I thought I might as woil an swer for it as to have my brother an swer." came the reply. "When you pleaded guilty, you expect ed to be fined, did you not?" asked the Judge. "Woil." I suppose so." replied Hunter. "I wlK fine you and Solon $16 each, then." said Judge Hogue. The fight occurred because Hunter owed Seton a bin and repeatedly refused to pay it. A fine of $M was imposed upon Frank Wilson by Judge Hogue when the defend ant was arraigned, with Joseph KeHy, on a charge of disorderly conduct and be ing armed with a dangerous weapon. The belligerents were taken into cus tody early Sunday evening by Policeman Patton, and it is believed by the officials that a murder was thus averted. It was shown that both men had been working In a restaurant at the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, and became embittered over a trivial matter. Kelly told Judge Hogue that Wilson imme diately went to his room and secured a razor. Kelly said he knew Wilson was intending to attack him. and that In order to escape the assault he started down town. Kelly was overtaken by Wilson, who made a vicious assault with the razor. "When Policeman Patton ar rived, the men were ongagod in a des perate struggle for the master. "When Albert Richardson. Martin Hicks and Homer Warner, lads of tender years, appeared before Judge Hogue. it devel oped, according to their statements, that they had "secured lh)Uor from the saloon of Penney & Fernau. on East Morrison street, with which to get drunk Sunday afternoon. Warrants for the arrest of the saloon keepers were ordered issued, and they will be prosecuted on charges of setting liquor to minors. The boys wore held, and will be caMcd upon to testify against Penney and Fernau. The lads were arrested Sunday after noon by Policeman Teevin. who found them so drunk they could hardly talk. The Richardson lad is a brother of Burnett Richardson, who was arrested by Detectives Carpenter and Resing test week for stealing J8 from a local restau rant. Mrs. Mry Junker recently took it upon herself to horsewhip J. W. Harris be cause he Is alleged to have owed her a board bill and is said to have refused to pay It. Harris was whipped at the entrance to the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, and took exception to the method adopt ed by the woman to ooHect the Mil. As a result, he caused her arrest on a charge of assault and battery, and she was to have been tried before Judge Hogue yes terday, but His Honor was in a hurry to get back to the Circuit Court, where he is engaged in a private case, and Mrs. Junker's case was put over, along nita many others.

ENGINEERS MAKE A TEST Definitely Learned That Columbia, From The Dalles to End or . Portage Road, Is Xavl-. gable for Steamers. With the Columbia almost at its highest stage of the season, and when the channel was besot with dangers which will not be there with lower water, the steamer Glen ola successfully traversed the three miles between The Dalles and Big Eddy Sun day afternoon, groping her way among rocks which have not seen a steamer pass them for four years. Tlie Glenola was chartered from the Oregon Round Lumber Company by the United States Engineers, who desired to ascertain for a certainty whether the stretch of water leading up to the west ern end of the Portage Road was naviga ble. It was decided to make the test when the river was high and the most difficul ties would be encountered. The result of the trip means that the Portage Road will not be extended to The Dalles, as the Government can maintain that any cap tain using ordinary precautious can take his steamer to the wharfboat at the Big Eddy, upon which the freight brought over the Portage Road will he discharged. Major W. C. Langatt and Captain Fries, of the Engineers' office; Portage Engineer McClelland. Captain Hoeford and George Teal, a brother of J. N. TeaL of the Open River Association, besides Captain Lee and the other officers of the Glenola, made the trip. Captain Gray, of Lewiston. acted as pilot both ways. The party boarded the steamer at The Dalles Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Glenola went directly to the rapids and began to fight her way up, earning 139 pounds of steam, five pounds less than her allowance. Steamers like the Bailey Gatzert and the Spencer, which regularly make the run through the rapids below the Cascade Locks, carry close to 303 pounds of steam. The men on the Glenola say they had far more trouble bucking the stream below the locks than when above The Dalles. The water was foaming all around the steamer. There is a abort turn in the channel, which makes navigation difficult, but Captain Gray got her through the rough water and Into the smoother boil ing area, which is comparatively free of rocks. In 2$ minutes after leaving The Dalles the Glenola was at the wharfboat. The run down was made In IS minutes. The party arrived by train yosterday morning, and the steamer returned at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Four years the steamer Albany took railroad Iron to the grade of the Paul Mohr road, and since then tho Regulator went part way up the upper rapids. - ESTVOLD'S SIDE OF STORY.

AGXES LOST OFF CAPE HORX Two Boats Filled With Crew Dis appear In Snow Storm. SAN FRANCISCO. June 26. The ship Arion arrived today from Baltimore with the captain and ten members of the crew of the German ship Agnos. and bringing news that the Agnes foundered In a snow storm off Cape Horn. The boat's crew picked up by the Arion was but one of three which abandoned the Agnes before she sank. A search over a -wide territory of the sea for the miss ing seamen was unavailing. The lost ship, which was taken from the overdue list some time ago. was bound from Shields, England, for Valpa raiso. Captain Behrens was in command of the Agnot. She registered 21 tons and was last poken January Ml She sailed from Shields November . two days before the German ship Oregon for San Francisco and Portland, which also found much trouble off Cape Horn and had to put into Valparaiso. SAILS UP FR03E BAY CITY. Thistle Will Follow Pinmorc Into the Columbia. The disengaged net will probably be re newed when the British ship Thistle reaches port from San Francisco. She sailed yesterday, and will probably be here next week unless her passage up the Coast is as slow as that of the Pin morc. which left San Francisco June 7 for the Columbia and has not yet ar rived. The Pinmore will take lumber to Melbourne, but there is nothing yet in sight for the Thistle. She brings a par tial cargo from Antwerp. Tho German ship Oregon, which like the other two is consigned to Meyer. Wilson & Co, should have reached San Francisco some time ago. She will also come to Portland after discharging part of her cargo at the Bay City. Young Picnickers on River. Drizzly weather didn't stop 76 young sters from having a good time on the river yosterday. The launch Princess May carried the students of the St- Lawrence Catholic School down to the mouth of the Willamette. In the rush to get aboard in the morning oae small girl fell overboard, but was pulled out before she knew she was wet. Late in the afternoon the waterfront was enlivened by the songs and cheers of the picnickers as they came homeward. Newport to Start Again. Today the steamon Newport, the latest addition to the fleet of North Pacific Steamship Company, is expected to leave San Francisco for Portland and way ports. She will stop at Eureka, Coos Bay, Cc qullle River and Yaqulna Bay. Ten days ago she got as far as Eureka, but her propellor got into trouble and she had to put back. Repairs were almost com pleted" yesterday. Dalles City Ready Saturday. Joseph Supple. In whose yard the steamer Dalles City is being repaired for damages she received in collision with the Chas. R. Spencer, expects to relaunch the draft Saturday. The repairs are ex tensive, requiring one new engine and wheel, besides repairs to the fan tail and other woodwork. Tanner at Port Ludlow. SEATTLE, June 25. The brig Tanner, towed into Port Townsend in a sinking condition Saturday, has been towed to Port 'Ludlow to prevent her sinking in deep water and an exposed harbor.

Union Meat Company, Fourth and GHsnn, Suffer Loss of About a Thousand Dollars.' The Union Heat Company, at Fourth and Glisan streets, for the second time within the year, caught fire lost night and completely destroyed one of the company's smokehouses, with about 20X pounds of moat. The Are is supposed to nave start ed from an overheated wood fire In one of the two smokehouses, which was being used to cure a quantity of meat. The company had a rush order which they were trying to get out early this morning, and had a larger quantity of meat over the Arc than usual. The fire became too hot and caused the crease to scatter to the woodwork, causing the blaze. The fire was discovered by one of the watchmen of the building, who turned In the alarm. The department made a quick run, but before they arrived the rear of tho building, where the smokehouses arc located, was In flames. The loss to the company will not be more than J10CO to the building, including the meat destroyed. The company has been using the smokehouses but a sh'ort time. The rest of the building is being rebuilt, and in the rear the framework is uncompleted. For a short time It looked as If the surrounding buildings would be In danger, and horses were removed from near-by stables and families moved their furniture to the street. Several lines of hose were run In from Fourth street and the smokehouse flooded before the flames spread to the adjoining one. Besides a little damage from water, the other smokehouse was not harmed. Mny Decide to Extend Railways. Officials of the Harriman lines who have been spending the past week in an in spection trip over the section of interior Oregon lying south of Shanlko, the pres ent terminus of the Columbia Southern, including Bend. Princvllle and a large area tributary to the Deschutes and Crooked rivers, will return to Portland this morning. It Is expected that some definite announcement of plans concerning the projected, extension of the Columbia Southern may be forthcoming soon after the reports of these officials have been submitted to directors of the company, if the power has not been delegated to the general manager to decide at once. Those composing the party are: J. P. O'Brien, general manager; G. W. Boschke. chief engineer; R. P. Miller, genera! freight agent; W. W. Cotton, general attorney, and R.

Riner Had Xo Interest in the Con tract and Committed Xo Offense. Testimony that some of the bricks in the Tanner Creek sewer were laid with out mortar was given at the trial of E. W. Riner in Judge Sears' Court yesterday. This was shown to have occurred in the arch, and the lower end of the sewer was said to have not been well done. Thomas O'Neill, a bricklayer, t&stlned that whUe he was working en the second aad third tiers of the arch. E. W. Rinor Instructed him to put In brick without mortar. On cross-examination Ed MendenbaU. counsel for the defendant, handed O'XelH a letter which be bad written to &1 Riner in Seattle, containing a postscript. "The only thing I know of doing wrong was not attending to my work better." Mr. Meadenhall several times asked the witness. "You admit having done your work wrong, don't you; what do you mean by It?" O'Xelll endeavored to explain that he meant that he was acting under orders of E. "V. Riner, and counsel endeavored to eonstrue the admission as a -voluntary confession. In the other portions of the letter O'Xelll relates that he has seen In the newspapers that the Rlaars ara having trouble about the sewer and have blamed the writer. O'Xelll assures Riner that he never said a word, that ho has more gratitude than that, as he was treated well and paid the wages he de manded. He closes by saying- he is will ins to make an affidavit that he never said anything about the work, but heard others do so. The witness testified further that the checks for his wages were signed by R. M. Riner. and he received them from Howard Riner. They worked nights and days on the Job. and Mr. Thomas wa the foreman. Ed Riner was sometimes there at 2 and 3 o'clock, in the mora lns. O'Xelll said he worked as much as 27 hours without resting. J. P. O'Xelll. who was a foreman in the sewer, testified that the work was weft 1 done on the first five courses, but not J so well at tho lower end. He was em ployed by Sydney Smyth repairing the bad places, and found brick laid with out mortar. City Engineer "Wanrer testined con cerning the bad pieces in the sewer, aad City Auditor Devlin testined that the con tract was n the name of R. M. Riner. Whitney L. Boise testified that WllUam C. Elliott, then City Engineer, told Mayer "Williams that he (Elliott) had personally inspected the sewer, and knew It to be a nrst-class Job. Mayor Williams was also called as a witness. Mr. Mendenhall is endeavoring- to es tablish the fact that the evidence does not show that E. W. Riner had any Inter est in the contract, and consequently he could not be held liable on the charge ef attempting to obtain money under false pretenses from the City of Portland. j Gus C Meser and Bert Hanay. of the Dis trict Attorneys force, are prosecuting tho case. - Suit Over Daughter's Death.
