OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 2S. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft are In hearty sympathy
with the movement started" In Portland
to secure an appropriation at the com
ing session of Congress for continuing
the improvement of the mouth of the Co
lumbia River, and so expressed them
selves today to Senator Fulton and Judge
Charles II. Carey. Judge Carey, In pre
senting this matter to the President this
morning, acted as representative of Port
land's commercial Interests and, together
with Senator Fulton, made a full state
ment of the necessity for an Immediate
appropriation for continuing work on the
jetty.
When they first explained the object
of their call, the President declared the
matter clearly beyond his province, and
cited numerous instances where other
states have asked him to Interest himself
In behalf of their river and harbor work.
But, as the situation at the mouth of the
river was unfolded to him, and as he be
came convinced that it would be good
business policy .for Congress to make an
appropriation this Winter for keeping
work under way, he began to realize that
he would be acting wholly within Ms
province in advising that money be prtA
vided for tills work
Jarey Wins Over President.
Judge Carey showed the President how
the project differs from all others. He
showed that, unless the tramway and
superstructures were protected, they
would be utterly destroyed before another
river and harbor bill passes, and would
have to bo rebuilt at Government ex
pense, and furthermore, pointed out the
great need for the immediate deepning
of the channel across the bar to accom
modate the commerce which will natur
ally seek Portland by the time the new
Hill road is completed, down the north
bank of the Columbia.
When he fully understood the situation,
the President asked many questions
about It. He Informed Judge Carey that,
if the Portland commercial bodies -would
present to him a full statement showing
the emergency that .exists and point out
the reasons why It is essential that an
appropriation should be made this Win
ter, he would submit that statement to
Chairman Burton, of the river and harbor
committee, and co-operate as far as was
In his power to secure the appropriation
which Portland Interests arc seeking. The
President also promised to consult the
Army Engineer officers and obtain from
them a statement of the necessity for an
Immediate appropriation.
Taft Will Give Help.
Greatly encouraged by the assurances
given by the President, the Senator and
Judge Carey then called on Secretary
Taft, who was a schoolboy friend of
Judge Carey. The Secretary said that
if he made an exception of the mouth of
the Columbia and recommended an ap
propriation for that one project, he would
have delegations from many other states
clamoring at his doors for similar in
dorsements of various bills this session,
and for that reason he had recommend
ed no appropriations other than those
authorized In the last river and harbor
bill. Mr. Taft was not entirely familiar
with conditions at the mouth of the
Columbia, but, when the emergency was
explained to him, he admitted that it
would be good policy to keep work under
-way. and apparently waB in hearty sym
pathy with Portland's commercial inter
ests. When Judge Carey presented the
resolutions of the Board of Trade, point
ing out the need for an Immediate appro
priation, the Secretary promised to sub
mit them to the Chief of Engineers, and
to call for a report as to the necessity
for making an appropriation this Winter
for continuing work on the jetty.
Mackenzie's Aid Assured.
If General Mackenzie in his report
states that an unusual emergency exists
and that there is great need of a prompt
appropriation and shows that this project
cannot wait for another river and harbor
bill, Mr. Taft promises to Indorse that
recommendation and send to Chairman
Burton and use what Influence he can to
help secure the money. This assurance
Is equivalent to a promise that Mr. Taft
will strongly urge a large appropriation
for the Jotty.
General Mackenzie has stated repeated
ly that no project in the entire United
States is in such urgent need of money
at this time as the mouth of the Colum
bia. It has been his idea from the 'first
that the Government cannot afford to let
work stop on the jetty and he welcomes
the opportunity to submit a recommenda
tion which will be of aid to that project.
General Mackenzie Is out of the city, but
he has stated his -views so many times
recently that there is no doubt that he
will make a strong: showing to Mr. Taft.
It Is, of course, k fact, that Congress
must decided whether an appropriation
shall be made. It Is not strictly -within
the province of cither the Fresidont or
Secretary of War to recommend such an
appropriation In a year when there Is to
be no river and harbor bill, but the Presi
dent and Secretary are now: both thor
oughly satisfied of the -worthiness of this
project, and, being satisfied, believe they
-would fall far short of their duty if they
did not aid In procuring an appropria
tion. Mr. Fulton -was very much encouraged
by tire attitude of the Presidont and Sec
retary of M'ar, and says their friendship
and aid will do much to secure the much
needed appropriation, but, even -with this
support. It will require unceasing effort on
his part and the part of other Senators
and Representatives Interested to procure
the cash.
Judge and Mrs. Carey were guests of
Vice-President and Mrs. Fairbanks at
dinner tonight. Later they loft for a
short trip through the South. They will
return to Washington early noxt wook.

JEROME ATTACKS BENCH
SAYS JUDGES GO TO MURPHY
FOR THEIR NOMINATIONS.
No Respect for Supreme Judges, Who
Have Degraded Office and
Dabble in Business.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. A "political in
dependence dinner" was given tonight in
the city In celebration of the recent vic
tory over city organizations here. In Phil
adelphia and elsewhere. The men whom
It was designed particularly to honor
were District Attorney William Travers
Jerome, of New York; Mayor John Weav
er, of Philadelphia; Senator-elect Ever
ett Colby, of New Jersey: Mayor Mark
Fagan, of Jersey City, and Mayor Tom L.
Johnson, of Cleveland. Messrs. Johnson.
Weaver, Colby and Jerome spoke, each
being greeted with great applause.
Mr. Jerome attacked the Judges of the
Supreme Court of New York County in
his address on reform measures. He
said:
"I was educated to he a lawyer, and had
instilled" in me a desire to reverence thffir
bench. And now. gentlemen, I have no
reverence I have not cvcli every-day
common respect for the Judges of the
Supreme Court of this department.
"The young man who raises his voice In
open protest against the things that are
every day making for the present degra
dation of the Supreme Court bench in
tbls department 'Is denounced as a crank
by those very members of the bar who
should do most to remedy the prevailing
state of affairs. Even, those who lead the
bar dodge the issue and .say:
"We have National Interests intrusted to
our care and we cannot jeopardize thorn."
When a Judge of the Supreme Court
has to go to Charley Murphy, a common
bartender, and plead to be elevated to a.
position to pass on our lives, our liberties
and our property, it is something for the
bar to think about.
It Is known that certain members of
the Judiciary to whom I have reference
retain their interests in commercial and
other business matters and transactions
wane tney an on me oencn. jsjvery aay
that passes over their heads Is filled with
peril peril of a scandal that seems about
to break because of these affiliations.
I fought very bitterly on this matttcr.
and 1 will not cease to fight this condi
tion, In office and out of office, whether
my professional brothers at the bar take
up the fight or not- I will light thorn,
whether the bar fights them or not.

THREE STEAMERS ASHORE.
Twenty-Seven 3Icn on One, Given

DULUTH, Minn., Now 2S. Three big
lake steamers, the Mataafa, the R. W.
England and tho Crescent City, were
driven ashore during a terrific gale 'today
in sight of the lighthouse at the Duluth
entrance of the harbor, and some 27 men
on the Mataafa are believed to be lost.
The Mataafa is a total loss. Her acci
dent was the most unfortunate of tho
three. She struckthe north pier of the
Harbor entrance while making her way
into the harbor, and was unable to get
through the canal. She swung around
and ran aground Just north of the pier,
where the waves are sweoplng completely
over her.
The Crescent City, Captain Frank Rice,
was the first of the three steamers to go
aground. She went on the rocks at
Lakcwood. about 12 miles from Duluth.
at 6 P. M. Every member of the crew
of 26 men escaped and none was sorlously
injured. The steamer will be a total
wreck.
The R. W. England is lying on a sand
bar on Minnesota Point, four miles south
of the harbor entrance. She struck at
12:49 P. M., during a blinding storm.
Captain R. W. England is the only
man who left tho England. Tho vessel
Is lying In the sand, and it is in no dan
ger of going to p"leccs. The captain was,
taken off by the llfcsavlng crew, with

DAY OF GRACE HAS EXPIRED
Attack on Rebels at Sevasto

COSSACKS ALONE LOYAL

End of Empire Mutinous
Soldiers "Under Arrest.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23. (1:51 A.
M) The last day of grace accorded the
mutineers at Sevastopol expired at mid
night with no signs of surrender on the
nart of the men. The hills towering
above the harbor of the Russian strong
hold In the Black Sea may resound this
morning, as they did in the days of the
Crimean war, with the roar of musketry
and cannon, should the government at
tempt to carry out Its announced lnten
tlon of erushlntr the revolt with the
mailed fist.
rCh rebellious sailors are playing a
waiting game and apparently have full
confidence that the guns of the fleet will
not be turned against them. If they have
not actually disregarded the summons
to haul down tho red flag, they seem de
termined to make the authorities show
their hand.
Would Not Shoot Comrades.
Whether Gonoral Nepluff. the com
mandant of the fortress, who was re
leased by the mutineers today and who
relieved General Baron Gakomoleskle,
will dare to accept the challenge of tha
mutineers and stake the discipline and
loyalty, not only of the troops at his
disposal, but of the whole army, on the
cast is, , however, doubtful. Dispatches
from a score of garrisons In Russia show
that the land forces of the empire are In
a stato of discontent, and any order to
the troop3 to tire upon their comrades In
the sister branch' of the service might
possibly precipitate a general and w I cle
an read mutiny. On the other hand, it
would be difficult to starve out the sail
ors By a regular siege, as provisions and
water can bo obtained by them, and, as
they are under the guns of not unfriend
ly warships.
The report that the whole fleet had gone
over to the mutineers under the leader
ship of the Otchakoff Is Incorrect, though
the officers of the ship, as during Vice
Admtral Krugers demonstration against
the mutineers on tho Knlaz Potemkln
(now the Pantelelmon) at Odessa, prob
ably will he unable to obtain obedience of
the men for the carrying out of any
measures against their comrade?.
The statr quarters at Sevastopol are
guarded by Cossacks and the officers in
the streets are accompanied by escorts
of Cossacks, the only branch of the serv
ice the fldollty of which is absolutely
unquestioned.
Guards Arrested for Sedition.
Even th" members of the guard regi
ments, treated well and superlatively
paid, are Joining In the revolutionary
movement. Two hundred and tlfty men
of the guard regiments, who were said to
have bea leaders In spreading the revo
lutionary propaganda, were arrested at
uieir oarracKs tonignt. it is understood
that the soldiers of the equipages from
which tho crews of the Imperial yachts
arc drawn will be withdrawn to St. Pe
tersburg on account of disaffection among
them.
The Council for National Defense held
a protracted session yesterday at which
the" question was discussed.
The post and telegraphic officials at
Moscow already have gone out and the
strike has spread to 12 other cities. The
General Workmen's Council has sum
moncd a conference of tho leaders
throughout the cmplro for tomorrow
(Thursday) to discuss the possibility of a
national strike in sympathy with the
loeked-out workmen of St. Petersburg.
There Is a strong feeling against such a
strike, however, not only on account of
the poverty of the workmen, but also bc
cause It would Intcrfero with the great
strike planned for January.
WIttc's Candid Replies.
A delegation representing the News
paper Union called on Count Wltte yes
terday to demand that the writer, M
Sorracheffsky, who was expelled from
Warsaw by Covernor-Gencral Skallon. be
allowed to return. Tho Premier said he
would telegraph to the Governor-General
suggesting the exercise of all leniency
possible in the case of M. Scrracheffsky
but ho was unwilling to Issue a direct
order.
"You know," he . said, "how touchy
these Governor-Generals and Governors
are Just now. Say a word to them .and
they resign.
Professor Podsky. 'editor of the Naslia
Shlsln, called on the Premier to demand
permission for Father Gapon to return
to Russia.
"What is tho use of deception among
friends?" said Count Wltte to thc pro
fessor. "You and I know, even If the
police do not, that Father Gapon has
been living in your house since Au
gust 13."
Artillerymen Were to Join.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. ZS.-lt is sUt-
ed that an Inquiry Into the recent mutlny
of sailors at Cronstadt has revealed the
fact that It was the intention of the ar
tillerymen of the fortress to mutiny with
the sailors. Tho latter, however, it Is
said, mutinied prematurely and the artil
lery refused to Join them when they found
that excesses wore being committed.
BOTH FEAR TO JOIN BATTLE
Waiting- Game at Sevastopol Gen
eral Mutiny in Manchuria.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 23. (Special.)
Advices from Sevastopol represent the
situation there as still In great doubt.
Neither the rebel soldiers and sailors nor
the government forces know their own
strength, so that neither side dares take
action against the other. Admiral
Chouknln favors persuasion rather than
force in conquering the rebels, while
Commander Stakomelsky advocates starv
ing them out. Admiral Chouknln, how
ever, fears that, if threatened by famine.
the rebellious forces would abandon their
peaceful attitude and engage In murder
and the destruction of property.
General Llnievitch's messages from
Harbin are alarming. Insurrection is
spreading in the Manchurian army be
cause of the idleness of the forces and
the privation which they experience, to
gether with the uncertainty and ohaos
which prevail. Offcers are acting as
leaders In the rebellious movement.
Lacking adequate quarters for his own
men. General Linlevltch is nonplussed by
the return of prisoners by the Japanese
and by the care of larce numbers of
disaffected soldiers who have been taken
Into custody. There are many disbanded
men also, whom It Is Impossible to con
trol.
The government asserts that lack of
transportation prevents the return of sol
diers to their homes, but It really fears
that, if brought back to Russia, these
men would Join the revolutionary move
ment. .
It Is generally believed in St. Peters
burg that the outbreaks In Harbin, Vladi
vostok, Grodno, Sevastopol and Iron
stadt aro only rehearsals by the revo
lutionists, who are preparing to take
the field with the support of organized
forces drawn from all trades and occu
pations, including policemen and house
servants, who have been formed into
unions.
The agitators now have turned their at
tention mainly to the army and the peasantry-
Workingmen In many quarters
are destroying factories, while the mus-
Jlka are burning historic castles, librar
ies and churches. All the factories and
schools are being closed in the face of
the spreading disorder.
Revolutionary leaders deny all knowl
edge of the attack made on Second Sec
retary" Blls, of the American Embassy.
They accuse the police of having Insti
gated the affair by way of Justifying the
severe measures which they are said to
be planning.

EUREKA, Cal.. Nov. 28. (Special.)
Somewhere off the coast of Humboldt
County, In Northern California, the
steamship Roanoke is being: tossed on
the waves tonight by a gale of Arctic
chill, while the fate of her three score
passengers hangs In the balance.
The big steamship is again at tne
mercy of the sea and the Jury rudder
which was rigged up yesterday has
been shattered, according to reports
from incoming craft just before mid
night. She must fight unaided through
the night tor her life. If she with
stands the "heavy seas until morninc
'"'.iftfety Is practically assured.
p The Roanoke reached the bar at 4.
o'clock yesterday afternoon and start
ed In. "When well over the bar a wave
struck her astern, carrying away the
rudder and the rudder post. The tide
was at an ebb and the vessel was car
ried to sea.
As soon as she struck the Roanoke
flew the danger signal and the tug
Ranger and the lifesavlng station re
sponded. It was dark before they
reached Vhe disabled vessel, so they
stood by all night. It was so rough
this morning that It was impossible to
transfer the passengers to a tug and
bring them to this port.
The Roanoke was not damaged fur
ther than the loss of the rudder, so it
wa decided to rig a Jury rudder an J
proceed to San Francisco under her
own steam.
Fortunately for the Roanoke, when
she was struck the tide was ebbing,
otherwise she would now have been to
pieces on shore and many of the pas
sengers, if not all, would have been
lost.
The Ranger and lifesavers returned
this morning. It was thought when
they left the Roanoke that she could
safely make the trip to San Francisco.
Tho lifesavlng crews to the south have
been warned and aid will be sent to
the Roanoke If she is not reported to
morrow. NEW VAUDEVILLE TRUST
