Carrying mall.
Home sort of an understanding next week
as to whether or not the proposed bridge
would prove a serious menace to naviga
tion it built at the point indicated.
"Tuesday's meeting was attended by too
many lawyers," said Captain Emken yes
terday In explaining why a second public
hearing should be granted. "These gen
tlemen may all be good legal advisers, but
I don't suppose they are authorities on
navigation or river channels. Besides,
they talk too much. Some of the pilots
were present at the meeting, but It
seemed impossible to get in a word edge
wise: the lawyers would Interrupt and
object, and after all had been said and
done it was doubtful If those who are to
pass upon the question were In a position
to know whore they were at.
"What we want Is a clear, heart-to-
heart talk. This bridge proposition is a
serious matter, and every phase of it
should be taken into consideration and
thoroughly studied. No lawyer can ac
quaint himself with the existing facts in
a few hours and come along and tell
-ivhat should or should not be done. I am
well along lq years, and do not expect to
pilot on the river for all time to come.
but I do protest against the location of
the bridge at that particular place be
cause it will prove detrimental to Port
land's commerce.
"My idea is that Portland should con
demn the steel bridge and build a four
track structure open to all railroads wish
ing to cross the river, and make a nom
inal charge for the privilege. The city
should also secure control of the terminal
yards, for this will have to come sooner
or later, and it may as -well be done now
as when more difficult."
In view of the "importance of the ques
tion. It is quite possible that the commis
sion will grant the pilots another hear
ing before making its decision,

Appointee.
HIS VICTIMS EXHAUSTED
Blocbnum Took Revenge on Middy
Who Refused Introduction to
Lady Meriwether's Plan
to Get Vindication.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. IS. Hazing of a
brutal nature was revealed during the
trial of Midshipman Chester A. A. BIoc-
baum today more plainly than In any of
the previous proceedings. Three fourth-
clas.t men testified without the slightest
hesitation that they had been hazed by
Bloebaum until they were utterly ex
hausted, one severe physical exercise
after another being required of them
until they lacked power to continue.
The most severe accusation was con
tained in the evidence of Edwin K. Cald
well, of Kentucky, who said that Bloc
bnum had hazed and abused him. because
he would not make arrangements tor
Bloebaum' to be Introduced to a certain
young lady of the lourtn-ciass mans ac
quaintance.
Bloebaum is an appointee or iongress-
man Champ Clark, who said recently on
the ftoor of the House of Representatives
that he would arm a youth he sent to
Annapolis . with a bowle knife and
hatchet.
Bloebaum did not go on the stand nor
offer any other witnesses In his defense.
The argument of counsel will proceed
tomorrow.
Meriwether Did Not Hurt Them.
The trial of Midshipman Minor Meri
wether, Jr., was completed today. His
object In not pleading guilty was to bring
out evidence to show that he hazed In a
good-natured way and without brutality.
and this has been done. His counsel say?
he Is particularly anxious for the public1
to understand that all his offenses were
committed prior to his fight with Branch,
in which the latter received fatal injuries.
Accused of Abusing Boys.
Midshipman Charles M. James; of Grln-
nell, la., a member of the second class.
was served today with the charge of
hazing on eight specifications Most of
the specifications allege that different
physical exercises were required, but one
or more contain the charge that James
used profane and abusive language
toward an under class man.

gage in hazing. Mr. Bonaparte said
there should be a graduated system of
punishment for hazing.

possible eventa that might happen to any of

FIRST RUSSIAN CONVENTION
Constitutional Democrats Discuss
Elections for National Douma.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 1S.-7:4S P. M.)
The first national convention organized
by a political party in the history of Rus
sla that of the Constitutional Democrats,
opened here today. Two hundred and fifty
delegates, representing CO provincial or
ganizations, were present. The first act
of the delegates was 'significant of the
trend of the conference, the temporary
chairman. Professor Karelff. calling on
the assemblage to rise In memory of the
victims of January 22 (Red Sunday), sev
eral of whom were shot not far from the
hall where the convention was held.
Then under the chairmanship of M. Pe
trunkevitch. of Tver, the convention took
up the discussion of the first topic on the
programme the party s attitude toward
the elections to the National Assembly.
Professor Mlllukoff. Editor Hessen and
Prince Hakoffsky were the leading speak
ers. The first-named advocated partlcl
patlon in the Douma, but only so long as
it was shown that the majority of the
Douma sympathized with the principles
of the Constitutional Democratic party.
Prince Mlllukoff declared that unless the
results of the preliminary elections were
favorable to the Constitutional Democrat
the latter should withdraw from partici
pation in the election of the electoral col
leges.
Mr. Hessen said that. In view of the
gathering agrarian storm, unless the rep
resentatives of the Douma immediately
instituted all the liberties demanded and
passed a broad and simple election law in
place of the present "worthless" law. the
"struggle must be raised along the old
lines and all the forces of society must
be mobilized to war against the common
enemy."
The delegates reported that the party
had made good progress, but that the
reactionary local authorities were inter
fering with the propaganda In various
sections. Complaints regarding this in
terference, they said, had been made to
Count TVIttc, but only slight satisfaction
had been given. '

DOW YIELDS TO DEMAND
SEATTLE IiABOR CANDIDATE
WII1I1 NOT RUN FOR MAYOR.
Abe Rucf, the Notorious California
Boss, Is Said, to Be Looking for
a Foothold on Puget Sound.
SEATTLE. "Wash.. Jan. IS. (Special.)
Mathcw Dow; the contractor, chosen
by the labor leaders as their candidate
for Mayor, gave way before a demand
of municipal ownership leaders' that
he yield to George F. Cotterlll or "W.
Wood, municipal ownership candi
dates, and announced tonight that he
would not accept a nomination for
Mayor. Immediately after Dow's an
nouncement a conference committee
from the labor unions met a delegation
of municipal ownership men and went
Into a conference that lasted until
after midnight.
At all times the proceedings were
stormy and frequently threatened to
break up in a row. An intimation crept
out today that enemies of Dow intend
cd to give out a story of Texan scan
dais, but he indignantly declared nc
would not be influenced by such
story. Later a municipal ownership del
egation held a protracted meeting- with
him during the course of walch insist
ence was made that Cottenll was the
first choice of the municipal owner
ship people and entitled to tee nom
ination. Next to nim it was declared
Wood was In line. Before the 'demand
for his retirement, Dow gave way, de
spite the insistence of labor leaders
that they had the right to name the
candidate for Mayor.
It Is alleged by prominent union
men that the fight being made under the
direction of the leaders. S. W. Harmon.
Frank Cotterlll and James E. Murphy.
Is really directed from San Francisco
and that the movement for a labor
union ticket was started by Abe Ruef,
the notorious California boss, and the
organization of Mayor Schmltz.
Just after the election of Mayor
Schmltz It was reported that two ac
credited representatives of the San
Francisco unions came to Seattle and
outlined a plan of organization for the
municipal campaign. They bore proper
credentials and were very Insistent
upon a labor union ticket.
There are strong reasons for the be
lief that Interference from San Fran
cisco resulted in the ultimatum to the
Municipal Ownership League that the
Seattle labor unions must name the
ticket. The plan of organization fol
lowed by Harmon, Murphy and Cotterlll
has not been that which Kuef demand
ed. His programme was for a straight
labor union organization and he sug

not be -induced to give It up.
"My wife was suffering from various
nervous ailments and was especially
afflicted with black spots before the eyes,
with an accompanying' feeling of falntncss.
These spells grew in frequency and at
last we came to suspect that possibly
coffee was- the cause of them.
"We therefore determined to give up
the old coffee and use Fostum for awhile,
to see If It -would help her. The result was
more than satisfactory In a very short
time, only long enough to get the coffee
poison out of her system, and give the
Fostum a chance to build up her strength,
she began and continued to improve rap

she has had an attack of blind spells or
falntness, and her other nervous troubles
baVo disappeared.
"I had been greatly troubled from a
sluggish feeling of depression that made
roe very miserable, and when. I saw how
Postum had helped the .wife. I determined
to see what it would do for me. So I
quit the old kind of coffee and began- the
use of Fostum. and from that day to this
have been entirely free from the old de
pression, sluggishness and despondency.
"Our little S-ycar-old daughter had
grown quite cross and peevish, and .we put
her, also, on the Fostum "diet. It has
made such a change in her that the
teacher of the school which she attends
remarked upon It without knowing- the

PHI III THE JOINTS
ONE
OF THE TORTURES
RHEUMATISM.
OF
Pain and Swelling Cease When Dr.
- Williams' Pink Pills Make
New Blood.
The first sign of rheumatism is fre
qtiently a pain and swelling in one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
Tho one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. L T. Pitcher, of Kb. 180 Mon
mouth street, Newark, U". J.t suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
"It began with a queer feeling in my
fingers. In a little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had lumps on
them and I could not get my gloves on.'
"Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. I could not stand up and I
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than I can describe. I took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until I tried Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
" I read an account of a cure in a case
that was exactly like mine and my hus
band got me some of the pills. I took
them for three weeks before I really felt
better but they finally cured me. "
Mr. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a
member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas a year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills.
These wonderful pills cured Mrs.
Pitcher by driving the rheumatic poisou
out of her blood. In tne same way, they
drive out the germs of other diseases
and build up the blood to carry health
and strength to every part of the body.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges
tion, influenza, headaches, lumbago,
sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness,' spinal
weakness, and the special ailments
of girls and women whose blood
supply becomes weak, scanty or irregu
lar. For further information, address
