14 THE MORNING OREGONTAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1906. END OF STRIKE IT T Coastwise Trade Paralyzed as Result of Sailors' Demands. OWNERS FIRM IN REFUSAL Oceanic Steamship Company Latest to Combine Against Request of Sailors' Union and Notice .. of lockout Given. BAN FRANCISCO, June 7. That the lockout which now ties up the shipping on the San Francisco water front is not to cease for some time is evident from the action taken by the Oceanic Steam ship Company today. The company sent notice to the sailors, firemen and cooks' and waiters' unions that the agreement entered Into between these unions and the company, which regulates wages and conditions of work, will be abrogated July 6. This notice was given in accord ance with a mutual understanding where iby notice of a strike or lockout must be Kiven 30 days before action is taken. The .business of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company in this port is now entirely at a standstill. Neither Vessel Clears. The State of California, belonging to this company, was to sail today at 10 A. M. for San Diego, and the Curacaoa was to sail for Mextcart ports. Neither vessel cleared, and many passengers who had engaged passage aboard them had their money refunded. Captain Wallace, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, stated that no men are now working at their wharves, and that they are not receiving freight. Not only the long shoreman on their dock have been laid off. but also the sailors, cooks, waiters and firemen on the State of California, the City of Fuebla, the Curacaoa and the iBonlta. which are now In this port. The rarlflc Mall Steamship Company, which yesterday iHid off 150 longshoremen at the mail nock., took back enough men to day to finish- the loading of the New port, which is to sail to Panama and v-way puda, No work is being done on the ' Will Try to End Trouble. The executive committees of the steam ship arbitration and the United Shipping Transportation Association met today to appoint a committee named by the City Front Federation. When these two com mittees meet an effort will be made to put an end to the trouble, which has crip pled the shipping business. EFFECT BADLY FELT HERE Only One Local Vessel Likely to Operate Regularly. As a result of the sailors' strike now in effect at San Francisco. Portland is threatened with a practical cessation of most of the local coast-wise traffic. As fast as the steam schooners and vessels belonging to the Shippers' Association ar rive at the Bay City they are taken over to Oakland and tied up for the present, and. according to the operators, the ves sels will remain tied up until the sailors reconsider their demands. Yesterday the steamers Barracouta and Oosta Rica reached San Francisco from Portland and were almost immediately relegated to the anchorage of the tied-up craft, and. according to the owners, they will remain there until the strike is ended. Kvery effort was used by the two fac tions to reach an amicable agreement in the past two years, as the present strike has been threatening during this period. The steamship companies comprising the shipping association on the Pacific Coast absolutely refuse to consider the demands of the sailors, and have elected to tie up their boats sooner than grant the slight est concession to the strikers, and on this account the shipping of the Coast la practically paralyzed. Shipping men along -the water front who are well versed in the causes of the strike state that they have no idea when it may be ended, and in the meantime are hoping for the best, although the situation is very gloomy. Of all tho steam craft plying from Port land to San Francisco and way ports, the Alliance, of the Gray Steamship Com pany, which is operated between Portland and Coos Bay, is the only vessel not likely to be temporarily tied up. The reason for the continuance of the Alliance on her regular run is on account of her being a mall carrier, and this precludes her being tied up by a strike. She is the regular mall boat between Portland and Coos Bay centers. The steamer Breakwater, which arrived with a light cargo from San Francisco yesterday, is likely to be tied up here without any effort being made to take her ion the return trip. While there is no cer tainty of this happening, persons connect ed with the company operating the craft are of the opinion that she will be laid up here until the strike may be settled. The steamer - Roanoke sailed for San Francisco last evening, and is slated to be laid off immediately on her arrival at that port. Unless one side or the other relents very shortly, freight is expected to congest to an alarming extent in the local ware houses, for the operation of the steam vessels along the coast is necessary to relieve the situation. CHESTER TO BE RAISED. Sunken River Craft Will Be Re paired at Castle Rock. CASTLE ROCK. Wash., June I. (Spe cial.) The steamer Chester, of the Kellogg line, which was sunk last Sat urday when it was rammed by a large log. is lying in shallow water near Olequa bridge. Captain Orrin Kellogg lias arrived, here to superintend the work of raising and repairing the craft. The Bteamer Northwest Is assisting in the work of floating the Chester, and as soon as floated she will be brought here for repairs. All the freight on the boat. Including J. C. Ainsworth's large automobile, has been safely transferred to the shore. GRACE DOLLAR TIED UP. Almost Entire Crew Walks Ashore In Response to Instructions. ABERDEEN, Wash., June 7. (Special.) The tie-up of the steamer Grace Dollar was made more effective this morning, when the cooks, waiters and firemen came ashore. They took this action in answer to telegraphic instructions received from John Carney, secretary of the Firemen's Union; Eugene Steele, secretary of the Cooks' Union, and A. Furuseth, secretary of the Seamen's Union. There remain aboard only the master, the mate and second mate and,, chief engineer. The S men have something like J300 due them from the owners. The captain has been trying to place himself in communication with his own ers, but has thus far been unable to reach them. If, after a reasonable length of time, the money due is not paid, the ves sel will be libeled. However, this course of action will probably not be compelled. . . Steamboats In Collision. PORTLAND, Me., June 7. The steamers City of Bangor and City of Rockland were in collision near Monhegan this morning. The City of Bangor was con siderably damaged, but managed to reach this port In safety. The City of Rock land was hardly damaged at all, and pro ceeded on her way. None of the passen gers were injured. The boats are operat ed by the same company. Towing Drydock to Manila. MANILA, June 7. The naval tug Pesca taqua has been ordered from here to meet the floating drydock Dewey at Singapore and assist in towing it to this port. Steamer Sonoma Overdue. HONOLULU, June 7. 12:30 P. M.) The steamer Sonoma, from San Francisco, is 24 hours overdue, and has not yet been sighted. Marine Notes. Another lumber carrier has been secured to load here. She is the new steamer Yosemlte, which sailed from Manila for Portland May 3L The steamer Alliance is scheduled to leave for Coos Bay this evening. This is practically the only coastwise vessel not affected by the sailors' strike. The Italian bark Erasmo surprised her charterers by arriving at the mouth of the Columbia yesterday, as she was not expected for ten days yet. She made the trip across the Pacific in 30 days. The tugs Sea Rover and Dauntless ar rived at Linnton and Portsmouth yester day with the oil-carriers Monterey and Fullerton. Captain Berg, of the Monterey, says that the strike win not afreet the crews of the oil-carriers. Domestic and Foreign Forts. ASTORIA. Or., June 7. Condition of the bar at 8 A.

Spence Smith, of Rapides, yester day introduced into the State Legisla ture a bill to regulate marriage con tracts and prevent race suicide. The bill applies only to whites, and pro vides: It shall be unlawful for any young man to attempt to court any young woman before he is 24 years of age. Before making such attempt he shall inform the parents or guardian of the woman he proposes to court of his in tention to do so. He shall also make affidavit before a Justice of the Peace that his court ship will be in good faith and for the purpose of trying to convince the young woman that it will be profitable for her to marry him. It shall be unlawful for widowers over the age of 40 years to attempt to court any woman under the age of 18 beyond the confines of the parish of their residence. After the passage of the act all chil dren born legally to married people In this state shall be raised and educated at public expense. All boy children shall be sent to the State University at Baton Rouge, and all girl children to the State Normal School at Natchi toches. An appropriation of $17,000,000 to carry out this education feature is pro vided for in the bill. Title to Road Is in Doubt. EUGENE, Or., June 7. (Special.) The Blue River road, closed some time ago by the owners of the Lucky Boy mine, is still obstructed. A committee of citizens from the Merchants' Pro tective Association today asked the County Court to purchase the road for the county, so that it might be opened to travel. The court will. , upon the presentation of a petition from the people along the road, take the mat ter up of declaring this a county road. There seems to be considerable doubt as to the right of the county to buy this road, as It Is claimed the Lucky Boy people have nothing to sell. There is no question that the miners have spent several thousand dollars in building the road and the price they ask, $3000, Is quite reason able, but they seem to have no title. Course In Naval Architecture. SEATTLE, Wash., June 7. Marine en gineering and naval architecture will be added to the University of Washington engineering curriculum in the very near future, the work being gradually added until a complete course in naval construc tion can be offered. Professor Everett O. Eastwood, formerly head of the marine department at Lehigh University, who is now dean of the college of mechanical engineering at the University of Wash ington, says that the work will be done on a small scale next year, and that the year following he hopes to be able to offer a complete course.

Honolulu Corporation Wants $155, 000 From Portland Concern for Alleged Breach of Contract. The second trial of the suit of the Pa cific Mill Company, of Honolulu, against Inman. Poulsen & Co., for $155,000 dam ages for breach of contract, was begun yesterday before Judge Cleland and a Jury in the State Circuit Court. The suit was begun April 10, 1902, and the com plaint recites that in the year 1900 Inman, Poulsen & Co. entered into an agreement with the Pacific Mill Company to take stock in the latter company, and to in crease its capital to $50,000 from $12,000. Inman, Poulsen & Co. were to take $15,000 of the increase, and to ship Oregon pine lumber to the Honolulu market. The Pa cific Mill Company people say they ob tained railroad facilities, sold stock and did everything required to carry out the agreement. Two cargoes of lumber were sent to Honolulu by Inman, Poulsen & Co., but that firm refused to permit the Paclflcjtfill Company to handle the car goes. Inman, Poulsen & Co. sent agents to Honolulu, and Emmett May. president of the Pacific Mill Company, went to San Francisco to Interview Johan Poulsen. The Pacific Mill Company expected to do a big business in Oregon lumber, and its members allege heavy losses for the breach of contract. Inman, Poulsen & Co. as a defense con tend that the scheme was a failure; that the Pacific Mill Company did not have the facilities alleged, did not sell the in crease in stock for cash, as promised; that the company was insolvent, and many other things. When the case was tried two years ago, 17 days' time was consumed in taking testimony. Judge Sears granted a nonsuit, and the Supreme Court granted a new trial. Ralph Dunl way appears as attorney for the Pacific Mill Company, and Cake & Cake and J. T. McKee are the attorneys for the de fense. MAY NOT PROSECUTE SUIT If Husband Behaves, Mrs. Kelly Will Not Seek Divorce. Mrs. Fred C. T. Kelly is not to has ten divorce proceedings. If her hus band does not behave himself she will obtain a divorce from him in the State Circuit Court. A month ago she caused his arrest on a warrant Issued in the Municipal Court for beating her, and the same day she sued him for a dis solution of the matrimonial bonds. Kelly several days later pleaded guil ty in the State Circuit Court, and Judge Sears, who does not believe in the whipping post law, fined him $50. Deputy District Attorney Haney, how ever, informed the court that the of fense was not a serious one, and that Kelly's wife did not want him whipped. Mrs. Kelly paid the lino and her hus band was released. She next declared that she did not want a divorce. Yes terday her attorney, John F. Logan, took an order of default against Kelly for want of an answer. Mrs. Kelly will hold the case over him, and if he does not continue to be a good hus band she will prosecute the divorce suit to a finish. Kelly says he will be good, and if so Mrs. Kelly says she will remain true and will not require the further services of the court and a lawyer. CHILD WIFE GIVEX DECREE Goldie R. Ellis Is Granted Divorce by Judge Frazer. The hearing of the divorce suit of Goldie R. Ellis against Joseph T. Ellis, was con cluded In Judge Frazer's court yesterday, and the divorce was granted. The defend ant made a good defense to his wife's charges of outrageous offenses, but the court concluded that the burden of proof was with the plaintiff, and that she was entitled to a legal separation. Mrs. Ellis is only 5 years old. The litigants were married in January last. "I believe the testimony as told by this little child-wife," said Judge Frazer, in rendering his decree. "This little girl told the truth, if I was ever able to tell when a witness told the truth. She is not happy. She Is of a timid, retiring dis position, but earnest in her manner. I have found in my experience that chil dren more often tell the truth than grown people. "But I am not impressed with the evi dence given by the foster-mother of the plaintiff, Mrs. R. C. Kinney. I do not understand that woman. On the other hand, Mr. Ellis has a good reputation in the business world. - He Is aggressive. The mating of this couple was like the story of the mating of the hawk and the dove." Cannot Find His Opponent. W. T. Vaughn. Councilman and attor ney, says he does not know the where abouts of M. B, Keefer, a lawyer, who represents C. L. Case in a suit filed by Mr. Case against R. A. Proudfoot.

Judge Webster decided that it was not a legal will under Ore gon law. s RAILROADS MAKE REDUCTIOX OF NINE PER CENT. It Is Thought Manufacturers and Carriers Will Find the Tariff Satisfactory. New minlmums on lumber for shipment East have been complied by the railroads that are about 9 per cent less than the minlmums recently announced. The new minlmums are the result of the confer ence between the railroads and the lum ber manufacturers of the Northwest last week at St. Paul, when objections were urged to the minlmums proposed, on the ground that shippers could not load many classes of lumber to the minlmums re quired to secure low lumber tariffs. The figures arrived at are the result of the conference between shippers and railroads, and are thought to be satisfac tory to both. Lumbermen will make prac tical experiments by loading cars of dif ferent lengths with different classes of lumber, in order to demonstrate whether the minlmums will be practical. They will not become effective until July 15. The minlmums are based on cubical ca pacity of cars, and follow: Cubical ca- Minimum Minimum paclty of car, carload carload feet weight, welgnt. 1150 or under. 23.000 81.000 1551 to IrtOO... 23.0iO 32,000 1001 to 1650.... 23,000 33,000 1H51 to 1700... 23.500 34,000 1701 to 17.lO .....24.000 35,000 1751 to 1R00 25.0O0 3B.H00 1ROI to 1S50 ....2r..S00 37.000 IRS I to 1000 26,500 88.500 1901 to 10.10 27,000 80,500 IBM to 2000 27,500 40.500 20O1 to 2050 2S.SOO 41.500 2051 to 2100 .... .20.0K0 42.500 2101 to 2150 30,000 43.500 2151 to 22O0 30,500 44.500 2201 to 22M 31.000 45.500 2251 to 2300 . .....32.000 46.500 2301 to 2350.

TELLS TRUTH ABOUT OREGON Harrlman Railway System Issues a New Advertising Pamphlet. Taking for his motto the statement that "The trouth about Oregon is good enough," Rlnaldo M. Hall, advertising agent for the Harrlman lines, has Just Issued the 1906 edition of "Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho," the annual advertis ing publication of the O. R.' & N. and Southern Pacific. The new pamphlet is a handsome one of 88 pages, profusely illustrated with new and interesting pho tographs, showing the industrial and scenic wonders of the three states. Mr. Hall is the author of the text and has drawn an attractive picture of the Pacific Northwest, but he believes it is not overdrawn. Following an introductory chapter, Mr. Hall gives attention to the industries of the three states. Statistics of production are quoted and In a num ber of Instances the name and address of the producer is given, so that the reader may write and verify the statements of the book and secure additional informa tion. Ten pages are devoted to fruitgrowing, and the fact is brought out that Oregon was first in foreign and domestic mar kets in 1905, Hood River Newtowns selling in London in March for $5.43 a bushel and Cornice pears, raised at Medford, bringing an average of $6.80 a box in New York in October. Other industries of the three states are also given full ex ploitation. B. E. Duncan Has Resigned. B. E. Duncan, who has been chief clerk in the freight office of the New York Central for some time, has resigned, and his place will be taken by F. L. Baker, who was formerly employed in the O. R. & N. car supply department. The change will take place June 15. Mr. Duncan is well known along . Railroad Row. and his many friends will regret to see him leave the city. He owns a valuable fruit or chard at Hood River, which demands his personal attention. It Is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold. How often do we hear it remarked: "It's only a cold," and a few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneu monia. This is of such common occur rence that a cold, however slight, should not be disregarded. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy counteracts any. tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia, and has gained its great popularity and extensive sale by its prompt cures of this most com. mon ailment. It always cures and is pleasant to take. For sale by all drug-xiata. WILL LOAD LUMBER Another Large English Tramp Steamer Coming Here. IS THE MANCHESTER PORT Demand for Building Material In Orient Causes Great Activity In Local Shipping Circles. Dulwich Reaches Port. Another large tramp steamship has been added to the local lumber-carrying fleet to take the products of Oregon forests and mills to the Orient. The latest addi tion is that of the British steamer Man chester Port, which is under charter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to load lumber for Shanghai. The Manchester Port is practically a new vessel, having been built in England in 1904. During the two years she has been afloat she has been engaged in tne tramp trade. Her trip to this city will be her initial voyage on the Pacific Ocean, her previous operations having been con fined to the vicinity of Bombay and Col ombo. She is at the latter port at pres ent. The Manchester Port is a steel vessel of 2662 net tons register, and she can carry about 3.000,000 feet of lumber. Her cnar terers are also loading the British steam ship Tottenham, now in the harbor, and the aggregate cargoes of both vessels will be considerably over 6,000,000 feet. J. J. Moore & Co. have two large steam ships under charter to take lumber for the Orient, which are expected to com mence loading soon. The first of the two to arrive here was the British steamer Dulwich, which arrived from Comox and Wellington last evening. The Dulwich is a sister ship of the Kll burn, which finished loading last week, and both would have been in me harbor at the same time, had it not been for necessary delays to the Dulwich at Co mox for the purpose of making some minor repairs. After being repaired she was delayed several days by rough weather off the Juan de Fuca Straits. The Dulwich will commence loading her lumber cargo in the next few days, while the Richmond is expected to arrive about June 20. The German ship Emllie and the Brit ish ship Galgate are also loading lumber for the Orient. Another of the local dis engaged sailing fleet was taken oft the list yesterday when the Italian ship Cat erina Accame was chartered to load lum ber for Antofogasta, Chile. The Accame has been lying at the O. W. P. dock during the past weeks, await ing a charter, which was consummated yesterday by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. tak ing the vessel to load lumber at the Eastern & Western Mills for the South American port. CAUTION PIANO OWNERS Word has been received again that, same as a few years ago, some clever and gllb-tongued solicitors are calling upon piano owners, making them believe that their pianos are "moth-eaten,"' or "rusted out." and offering, usually for a big amount of money, to restore them, .and furthermore, to "moth-proof" and "rust proof" them. We wish to caution our patrons again, as we have found from experience that most of such work is nothing more nor less than an attempt to obtain money under false pretenses. Ring up Exchange 23 for information, should anyone call on you to "restore" or "work over" your piano! As a usual thing, a great deal of harm la done to pianos by tramp tuners. If you have a fine piano take no chances. Eilers Piano House. Heat Kills In New York. NEW YORK. June 7.
