Railroads Claim Condition Is Tem porary and That Annual Trou ble Has Not Begun. Complaints ar.? coming In to the rail roads from shippers that a shortage of ears exists that is proving a decided em barrassment to the manufacturing inter ests of the stale. Not since last Fall have cars been so scarce nor the demand for them so great. The railroads admit a scarcity of "empties,' but say that everything possible is being done to re lieve the situation, and they expect that within a short time plenty of. cars will be available. While it looks to shippers aa though the annual car shortage has started in earlier than usual, the rail roads deny that the shortage has begun and state that the difficulty Is only a temporary one which they hope to re move. The shortage of cars is already so marked that some lumber mills are threatened with a shutdown, while at least one mill, that of the Tongue Point Lumber Oompany. near Astoria, has al ready been forced to suspend operations for a week because of lack of cars and the lack of water transportation caused by the sailors' strike. Reports that are being received almost daily by the Oregon Lumber Manufactur ers' Association from the sawmills of the state tell of lack of cars and threat ened closing down of the mills on ac count of the congestion In traffic. "The Northern Pacific Is not in a posi tion to supply anywhere near the num ber of cars the mills on that and con necting lines want for lumber shipments," said an official of the association yes terday. "The Harriman lines are in an almost similar plight, although the O. R & N. and Southern Pacific are not so bad off as the Northern Pacific. Shippers on the Oregon railroads in all parts of the state, particularly lumber shippers, as this business just now demands the largest number of cars of any Oregon industry, are hard put to it for rolling stock. They get two or three cars a day where they put in orders for a dozen or two. "The annual car shortage has appar ently begun earlier than usual this year, and there Is every evidence that lumber men as well as other shippers will be very hard up for care during the season, as the trouble will probably be increased as the Summer advances." Railroaders are inclined to think the trouble is not so serious as it appears to the shippers. W. D. Skinner, assistant general freight agent for the Harriman lines in the Northwest, said: "The situation is not as good as desired, but it is not serious. Everything possi ble is being done to get cars. The deliv eries of empties from the Harriman con nections at Ashland and Huntington is not what has been hoped for. nor what it ought to be. The operating department has the matter In hand, and we hope it will be able to improve the situation soon." The sailors' strike has been one of the chief factors in bringing about a car shortage. This trouble has diverted much business from the water lines to the Southern Pacific at a time when the road already had its hands full to care for the big business in California, as well as the Increase in traffic all along the line in this state. Doubtless another reason for the shortage is the large number of cars that are said to be held in San Francisco awaiting unloading. Because of unsettled conditions there, cars are not given rapid dispatch. The clary of the Mayor of New- York Is J15.000 a year. The Mayor of Chicago re- cetves 110,000. HOLDS UP A SALOON MAN HIGHWAYMAN ORDERS BEER BEFORE DRAWING GUN. Robs J. W. Wagonblast's Till of SCO and Escapes Negro Thugs Assault Laborer. Turning to hand a lone customer a glass of beer in his saloon at First and Mill streets just before closing, at 12 o'clock last night, J. W. Wagonblast, the proprietor, looked into the I barrel of a long black steel revolver and was com manded to throw up his hands. Wagon blast stood with his arms above his head while the highwayman, who had ordered the beer, went behind the bar and emp tied the till of more than $20. After robbing the till the highwayman backed out from behind the bar, still covering his victim, and disappeared. Wagonblast notified Captain Bailey at police headquarters, and the latter sent out Policeman John W'endorf to locate the robber. An excellent description has been given the police. Five minutes prior to the saloon hold up John Larson, a laborer, was set upon by two negro thugs at the north end of the Plaza block and, after a desper ate fight, was knocked on the head and robbed of $30. Larson recovered sufficiently to find his way to police headquarters, where ho told Captain Bailey of the hold-up and as sault. Detective Smith and Policeman Wendorf obtained a meager description of the two men and are searching for them. Shingle Men Will Fight Unions. SEATTLE, Wash., July 12. 8pecial.) Shingle manufacturers, representing every county on the West Side, decided tonight to defy the shingle weavers' union and to open all mills as rapidly as possi ble with nonunion crews. Committees were sent out, north and south, for mis sionary work, and a big mass meeting will be held here Sunday. This is the beginning of a war of exter mination against the union of mill em ployes. The union has just demanded a closed shop and union brands on shingles, on top of their strike against the shingle mills bureau. The mills will reply with the exclusion of all union men from their plants. SITE FOR NEAH BAY STATION Iiifesaving Officials Will Select and Rush Construction. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, July 12. Superintendent Kimball and Inspector McLellan, of the life-saving service, have gone to Neah Bay, near the entrance to the Straits of Fuca, to select a site for a life-saving station, for which Congress recently ap propriated $30,000. When their report Is made, work on the station will be rushed, as this is regarded as one of the most important points for which new stations were authorized last session.

Hummell was suspended from further practice of law, pending the appeal against his conviction on a charge of con spiracy in connection with the Dodge Morse divorce case by a decision handed ! down by the Supreme Court today. MR. BOWERS WILL REMAIN SAYS HE HAS DECLINED OFFER OF FAIRMOTJNT HOTEL. Is to Continue as Manager of the Portland San Francisco No Longer Attracts Him. H. C. Bowers, manager of the Portland Hotel, has returned from Chicago, and announces that he will continue at the head of the Portland. He has definitely refused the offer of Dr. Hartland Law and Dr Herbert Law to take charge of the Falnnount Hotel In San Francisco. "I have written them definitely, stating that I can not take their offer," he said yesterday. "Conditions down there are such that It will be a long time before they will need a hotel of the sort they had planned when I considered going there. At present there is no need of such a hotel as I had counted on manag ing, and, to speak frankly, I do not care to go to San .Francisco and 'grow up with the city.' " The Fairmount Hotel, one of the most prominent buildings on San Francisco's skyline, was shaken by the earthquake and afterwards burned. It is now being reconstructed, the waits rebuilt and the rooms put in shape for occupancy. The refusal of Manager Bowers to take charge of it will mean that all arrangements for its operation must be revised by the own ers, who were among the heaviest losers in the great fire.

He will teach his pupils how to con duct themselves In case of danger in the water, how to rescue a drowning person and swim with an unconscious body.

Tex., visited the office of the Coun ty Register here today to gather informa tion which he expected to use in connec tion with the prosecution of Joseph L.

One After Another Slips Into Deep Hole in River in Struggle for Rescue. CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, July 12. Eight children at a picnic on a river bank only three blocks from home went wading this afternoon. The smallest one slipped into a deep hole in the river, and in trying to rescue her six others were drowned. The dead: LUCILLE SWEEDING, aged 7. HAZEL, SW BE LLN G, aged 14. GLADYS SWEEDING, aged 10. JOSIE SWEEDING. aged li. RUTH COYLE, aged 11, Sioux City. CORA COYLE, aged 9. Stoux City CLARA USHER, aged 1. Ruth Klersey, the only survivor, said they were wading when Lucille Sweed lng slipped off . a shelf on the river bottom into a deep hole. Hazel Sweed Ing rushed after her, slipped Into a hole, and then the next girl rushed after her, and so they kept trying to save each other until all. of the girls except Ruth Klersey had been drowned. She then ran home and gave the alarm. Four of the bodies were quickly re covered from the water, but it was too late to resuscitate them. At 7 o'clock all of the bodies had been recovered except that of Clara Usher. Two whlpthong- makers who went Into bank ruptcy recently in Southwark.
