Newspaper Page Texte 14 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY. JULY 20, 1906. BARRAGQUTA MAY HAVE TROUBLE If Manned by Asiatics, Local Longshoremen Will Not Work Cargo. ARRIVES HERE TOMORROW White Nonunion Sailors Not Object ed to, and If She Carries Cauca sians Steamer Will Be Given Quick Dispatch. The Portland & San Francisco Steam ship Company's steamer Barracouta Is due to arrive here this evening:, and when she ties up at her wharf there may be some interesting developments. Subsequent happenings to the vessel on her arrival here depend entirely on whether she Is manned by a Japanese crew or with white union or non-union sailors. In the former case the local longshoremen will immediately declare & boycott against the vessel and the oper ators will experience some difficulty in getting the craft unloaded and loaded while In port. Yesterday the longshoremen declared their Intention of refusing to work on the vessel if she calls here with an Oriental crew, while the matter of union or non-union white sailors will not make any difference as to the craft's status and she will be worked Just the same as though she was perfectly In accord with the unions. The longshoremen have taken a decided stand on the Oriental question and absolutely refuse to work any Coast vessel manned by Japanese, Chinese or Kanakas. The agents of the Portland & San Fran cisco Steamship Company stated yester day that they had received no advices as to the nature of the Barracouta's crew, but they presumed that she had a white nonunion crew, and that they hoped to avoid any differences with the long shoremen if such is possible. Freight Is piling up in tiers awaiting the arrival of the liner, which demon strates the urgent need of more vessels on the coastwise run. The demand for transportation facilities by the water route would easily accommodate 10 or 15 regular vessels, whereas, exclusive of the Barracouta, there are only three vessels on the run, and only two of these stop at San Francisco. AH of the trio, Roanoke. F. A. KI1 burn and Alliance, have been .forced to refuse freight at their respective docks, sometimes as long as two days in ad vance of the vessel's arrival, all of which makes it decidedly inconvenient to the shipper, who has orders for goods scheduled for some Coast port and Is not able to secure space on the regular ves sels plying to the desired port The agents of the company stated that they would continue to receive freight at the Ainsworth dock, and would make every effort possible to get the steamer off as scheduled. The Barracouta will probably sail for San Francisco next Monday night. NO ANXIETY FOR PUMTZER Pilot Schooner Arrives at Astoria "Without Mishap. ASTORIA. Or.. July 19. (Special.) There is not and has not been any anxiety for the safety of the pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer. She was spoken off the mouth of the river today, and Pilots Cann and Staples were placed on board. When Pilot Mathews left the schooner two days ago, the vessel was some dis tance south of the river, and as there was a etrong southerly current with a light wind, she was unable to get back to her station until this morning. The schooner W. F. Jewett was in company with the Pulitzer three days ago, and she has not made the mouth of the river yet. The schooner William Renton, bound for Shoalwater Bay, has been off the mouth of the Columbia for several days endeavoring to work her way up the coast. STEAMER TO BE BEACHED. Beckenham Cannot Get Drydock, So Will Clean on Sand Isand. According to advices received by George Taylor. Jr., yesterday, the British steamship Beckenham, which was re cently substituted for the Manchester Port, will be beached at Sand Island, near Astoria, in order to have her hull cleaned and painted. This expedient was decided upon owing to the inability of the owners to secure a berth In the local drydock, as that repository is occupied by the steamer George W. Elder, which will be berthed there for several weeks to come. The Beckenham is due during the early part of August and cannot wait for the drydock to be cleared, so the owners de cided to beach her and clean the vessel on the sands. ALAMEDA TAKES UNION CREW Oceanic Company's Liner Forced to Accept Members of Organization. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19. The Oceanic Steamship Company today signed a union crew for the steamer Alameda, which will sail Saturday for Honolulu. While the Oceanic Company has not been actively interested with the Shipowners' Association, it has made sev eral unsuccessful efforts to secure non union crews since the lockout on the wa ter front. Kanakas were brought from Honolulu to fill the places of the union men, but deserted upon arriving here. The Sailors' Union regards the action of the Oceanic Company as a preliminaxy victory. MANZANITA TO BE SOIiD. Lighthouse Tender Will Be Disposed of by Government. Commander .T. P. Werllch, of the Thirteenth Lighthouse District, an nounced yesterday that the Government had decided to sell the lighthouse ten der Mansanita, which was sunk in the Columbia River several months ago by a collision with the dredge Columbia, and which was afterwards raised and towed to Astoria. The high cost of repairing the vessel Is believed to have been the cause of the department's action in ordering its sale, and as soon as instructions speci fying the order arrive, bids will be re ceived. Fitter Coming With General Cargo. The German ship Arthur Fltger was yesterday chartered by Meyer. Wilson & Co. to load a general cargo at Antwerp for this city. She Is a well known car rier here, having visited the port on sev eral occasions, and will probably begin loading for this port about August 1. On the outward voyage she will be se cured to carry grain to the United King dom and lumber to the Orient, although this will probably not be settled until her arrival. CREW OF MARION IN JAIL Sailor From Wrecked Vessel States Men Wait on Government, SAN FRANCISCO, July 19. John Aberhauser, a sailor on the cod fishing schooner Chearina, which arrived to day from Alaska, reports that six men, who composed the crew of the wrecked schooner Marlon, are In jail at-Unga, awaiting the arrival of a Government vessel from the United States before they can take passage home. These men, says Aberhauser, were taken by the captain of the Marion to Unga after the wreck, and placed in charge of the marshal there, who put them in jail, for the reason that it was the only available place to keep them. They have been there for months, receiving fair treatment, but unable to get back to this city. KIIjBTJRN AND ROANOKE SAIIi Coastwise Steamers Take Full Car goes and Many Passengers. Laden to the hatches .with freight, and each with a full list of passengers, the steamers F. A. KUburn and Roan oke departed last evening for San Francisco and way ports. Both vessels will call at Coos Bay and Eureka on the down trip, and all of the Kilburn's passengers are for these points, as the vessel does not carry any to San Francisco. Most of the passengers on the Roanoke are scheduled for San Francisco. Both vessels are expected to reach MarshHeld tonight. If they encounter clear weather and are not delayed by the fogs as on the up trl MATE GOING IS ACQUITTED First Officer Who Shot Seaman Is Found Not Guilty. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19. J. Going, first mate of the scow Burgess, who, on July 14, shot Fritz H'armenlng through the shoulder on board the vessel, was today discharged by United States Com missioner Heacock. Going claimed Harmening was insubordinate, attacked him, and that he shot the sailor In self- defense. Commissioner Heacock held that the mate was Justified In his action. New Freight Line for The Dalles. THE DALLES, Or., July 19. (Special.) A committee of Portland business men, representing they Open River Transporta tion Company, consisting of J. N. Teal, A. H Devers, Mr. Moore and Mr. Myers, met with the citizens of The Dalles at the Commercial Club parlors tonight to lay before the shippers of this place a proposal for handling the incoming freight of this city by boats to be operated by the Open River Transportation Company. The offer of the Portland people was enthusiastically received, and tomorrow the directors of the Business Men's Asso ciation will meet with a representative of the company to agree upon a contract to be entered into between the company and the shippers of the city for carrying in coming freight for a term of years. America Towed Into Port. NEW YORK, July 19.-The Fabre Line steamer America, from Bermuda, In tow of a tug, arrived here today, about two weeks overdue.' Her passengers told a tory of hardships and anxiety while the vessel drifted about In mid-ocean with a broken shaft. They said that from the time the accident occurred on June 16 they were provided with inferior and in sufficient food. Taking Snags From the Chehalls. ABERDEEN, Wash.. July 19. (Special.)

SIMPLE RULES LAID DOWN Proper Disinfection of Excrement Will Stop Contagion, Accord ing to Pamphlet of State Board of Health. Typhoid fever cases reported to State Board of Health since January 1, 1906 Cases. January 101 February 219 March 49 April 28 May 19 June 43 Total 459 While there were only eight cases of typhoid fever in Multnomah County dur ing June, 43 were reported to the State Board of Health from various sections of the state, principally Eastern Oregon. The prevalence of typhoid in epidemic form In Umatilla County Is attributed to the fact that the floods which Inundated that section this Spring washed the in focted river water into wells and other sources of water supply. This again brings before the public the urgent neces sity of exercising greatest caution against the spread of the disease. Dr. Robert C. Yenney, secretary of the State Board, Is preparing a short pamphlet on this subject, which will soon issue, giving di rections for the prevention of epidemics. In the meantime there is great need for Immediate caution on the part of fami lies members of which are 111 of the dis ease. "There Is absolutely no danger of the eight cases which have appeared in Port land spreading, as all of these are doubt less in hospitals and therefore free from danger. But in localities like Pendleton and other points In the eastern section of the state patients are- more frequently treated in the home and the germs of the disease allowed to escape Into the food and water supplies." "Typhoid," he continued, "Is a disease of filth, and the whole problem of Its pre vention can be solved by keeping human excrement out of water and away from food. If the public at large could be made to understand how easy it is to contami nate wells, streams, reservoirs and food with the bacillus typhosus, perhaps there would be less of this much dreaded con tagious disease. One case brought Into a town of Oregon one year resulted In 19 cases, for the simple reason that the ba cillus was allowed to escape into the drinking water and food. "At this time of the year diarrhea Is more or less prevalent, and those af fected with It are apt to be careless. Typhoid fever always starts in that way, ana frequently the fever has two weeks' start on a patient before he consults his physician and learns what the trouble is. In the meantime the infected excrement has done Its work, and a whole town or neighborhood may become infected. TO prevent this, all excrement from fever patients or even those with diarrhea should be thoroughly disinfected before being disposed of through sewers. Too much care in this regard cannot be taken. "Typhoid fever discharges should be received directly Into one of the following solutions: Carbolic acid solution, 6 ounces to the gallon of water, or corrosive sublimate solution, one dram to the gal lon. Add excess of solution cover tightly, and allow to remain at least one hour be fore emptying. Soiled linen should be Im mersed in the same solution for at least one hour and then boiled. Patients Should Be Isolated. "The patients should be Isolated, and nurses should never assist in other house hold duties. The dishes used by the pa tient and nurse should be boiled and not placed with the dishes used by the fam ily. Bed linen and clothing should be sterilized as directed. The entire prem ises should be given a thorough cleanlng up, the milk and water supply being care fully protected from all possible contam ination. Water laden with germs will seep into wells from outdoor closet vaults, and also from Infected streams. Vege tables should only be washed with abso lutely pure water for they can conduct the fever germs Into the body very easily. "Money spent In preventing the spread of typhoid is well spent, and it is much cheaper than fighting the disease. No one can get through a case under $100; and there is always the danger of loss of life. In one epidemic I think of, which occurred in a small Pennsylvania town, there were 1104 cases, inlcuding 114 deaths. This caused an expenditure of $67,100 by actual account. "In caring for typhoid patients greatest care should be taken In keeping flies from the excrements, as they carrv the germs to food. And water supplies should be kept free from all decaying vegetable or animal matter, for It is on such things the germs live after - getting Into the water." Dr. Hntchison on Typhoid Fever. Dr. Woods Hutchinson, In a bulletin issued by the State. Boar J of Health when he was secretary of that organization, stated: "There Is probably no serious disease which is more readily and certainly pre ventable than typhoid fever, yet, unfortu nately there are few which cause greater loss of human comfort, efficiency and life every year. This is chiefly due to popu lar ignorance of or Indifference to the measrures which can and should be taken to prevent It. There has been no differ ence between sanitarians upon this point for nearly 40 years past; as long ago as the days of Lord Palmerston, England's great Prime Minister, he declared that 'for every death from typhoid somebody ought to be hung.' While this, like most epigrams, Is an over statement, yet it may safely he said that by no other known exercise of ordinary Intelligence can a larger number of human lives be saved annually. Peace has unfortunately not only her victories, but her slaugh ters 'no less renowned than war If somewhere upon our borders a war were to break out which every year wounded from 160.000 to 250,000 men, and killed from 20.000 to 30,000, a cry of horror would go up demanding that the slaughter be ended at any cost; and yet this is pre cisely the price which we pay for typhoid every year in the United States almost without a murmur of protest. All that we get for this frightful loss and suffer ing is the privilege of being dirty." Methodist Church of Japan. BUFFALO. N. T., July 19. A commis sion representing the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Church of Canada and the Japan Methodist Episcopal Church South met here and unanimously adopted a resolution to the effect that the mission stations which have hereto fore been supported by the three sep arate churches be consolidated. The union is to be effected in May, 1907, at a general conference to be held In Japan. The church will be known aa the Methodist Church of Japan. A superintendent to serve for eight years will be appointed at the conference In Japan next year. Among the members of the commission which met here were Bishop Galloway from the Southern Church, Bishop Cran ston of. the Methodist Episcopal Church and Dr. A. C. Carman, superintendent of the Methodist Church of Canada. DEADLOCK IN CAR STRIKE United Railways Expects Soon to Fill Places of Electrical Workers. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19. There has been no break in the deadlock between the United Railroads and the striking members of the Electrical Workers' Union. Neither side has made a move that would lead to a settlement, and the conditions seem to be more strained than upon the first day. Armed guards have been stationed at the various shops and power stations, nearly all of which are greatly handicapped by the lack of men. So far there has been no clash between the men and the corporation. Men to fill the places of the employes who have struck will be secured, say the officials of the United Railroads. Where these men are to come from they will not divulge. Although less than 150 men of the 4100 employes of the United Railroads are affected by the existing conditions, there is a possibility that workers in oth er lines will eventually be drawn Into the struggle. For more than an hour the lines run ning on Sixteenth street were stalled about 8 o'clock tonight by a break in the trolley wire. Inspectors made temporary repairs and upon the arrival of the re pair wagon the breach was permanently mended. No weapons were in evidence among the repair men, although several Inspec tors were on hand. A crowd collected, and the youths and boys who composed it Jeered at the men. One handful of earth was thrown at the linemen, but a disturbance was avoided. WILL HAND OVER ITS FUND Massachusetts Committee to Give San Francisco $400,000. BOSTON, July 19. The release of $403, 0j0 of the Massachusetts fund for the relief of the California earthquake sufferers, which has been kept back by the committee on account of lack of confidence in the San Francisco com mittee, was practically assured for the near future, according to a statement by John F. Morse, of the local commit tee, today, at a meeting- of that body. The money will be turned over to the Rehabilitation Company, a new corpo ration with the Governor and promi nent citizens of California as Its incor porators. Credit Men Will Investigate. NEW YORK, July 19. In compliance with a resolution adopted by the National Association of Credit Men, President O. G. Fessenden, of that association, has ap pointed a committee to ascertain the ad justments of Are losses at 9an Francisco and whether the insurance companies deal justly with the victims of the recent disaster there. The committee consists of the following- members: G. Witherspoon, president of the Lios Angeles Credit Men's Associa tion, Los Angeles; G. Brenner, presi dent of the San Francisco Credit Men's Association; A. H. Devers, presi dent of the Portland, Or.t Associa tion of Credit Men ; George F. Telf er, president of the Seattle Credit Men's As sociation, and Arthur Parsons, president of the Utah Credit Men's Association, Salt Lake City. CITY TO SUPPLY AT COST Detroit Mayor Proposes to Establish Municipal Ice Plant. DETROIT, July 19.

Five hundred men, women and children took part in a riot today in the Fast Side, during which they made a raid on a wagon load of ice intended for free distribution among them and took every pound in the wagon. STRUCK BY BIG AVALANCHE French Tourist and Swiss Guide Drowned in Torrent. MARTIGNT, Switzerland, July 19. An avalanche yesterday precipitated four French tourists, names unknown, and a Swiss guide into the torrent below Black Gorge. Two of the Frenchmen and the guide were crushed and drowned. Councilman Wills Wants Cheap Gas. PORTLAND, July 19. (To the Editor.) I noticed in The Oregonian of the 17th an article regarding a conference of a few of the Councllmen concerning the McCusker gas franchise, and I was quoted aa saying that I did not believe that McCusker ever intended to install a gas plant. I have made an em phatic denial both to McCusker and your re porter, but you come out today and insist that I did say it, and quote Mr. Wallace to support you. Now I do not know what Mr. Wallace has said, or what he has understood, but I want to deny ever having made such a statement, as I have no reason to doubt Mr. McCusker's veracity, nor have I ever enter tained a suspicion that he was In any way connected with the Portland Gas Company, neither have I heard any member of the UUlll.ll BU tA(Jl Coa flllllrtCll. 1 What I did say was that it was none of ( our business whether he charged 65 cents or 50 cents, provided he complied with the or dinance and put up a bond that he would carry out the provisions of the franchise we gave him. I do not know of any reason why we cannot have cheaper gas, as other cities In the East and on the Coast are getting it, and I do not care whether it la McCusker or anyone else who gives us cheaper gas, I be lieve our duty as Councllmen Is to give them a show so long aa they put up the proper bond as an evidence of good faith, as I believe that whatever tenda to make living cheaper benefits the city. A. N. WILLS. lawyer Gibson Is Released. NEW YORK, July 19. Burton W. Gib son, the lawyer who was committed to the Tombs prison in default of $25,000 ball, to await the action of the grand jury In connection with, the murder of Mrs. Alice D.

This remedy can always be depended upon for colic and diarrhoea, and should be kept on hand in every home. For sale by all druggists. NEURALGIA CURED PATIENT GIVES ALL THE CREDIT TO DR. WILLI A MS' PINK PILLS. Disease Had Attacked the Heart and Would Doubtless Have Been Fatal Had Right Remedy Not Been Taken. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills win cure neuralgia there is no room to doubt. So many severe cases of this painful dis ease have yielded to these pills that the sufferer who is prevented by prejudice from trying the remedy deserves little sympathy. Mrs. Charles Schultz, of 179 Thomas street, Newark, N. J., suffered for seven years with neuralgia which attacked her heart and which did not yield to the usual remedies. The story of the cure is best told in her own words. She says: " I had scarlet fever and it left me with a weak heart. Then I took cold and a severe pain settled in the region of my heart. My suffering was almost beyond description. I could not talk and the pain caught me at every breath. The awful pains would come on sud denly and I would have to sit right down. I could not walk and would get dizzy for a time. " I was confined to bed for four weeks at one time and nothing seemed to do me any good. I was under a physician's care for months. He pronounced my trouble neuralgia of the -heart and pre scribed for me. The capsules he gave me relieved me for a time but the pain came back again. "Finally Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me by a lady whose husband had been cured of paralysis by them and I decided to give the pills a good trial. While I was on the second box I began to see an im provement, the pains became less fre quent and at last I was entirely cured. This was some time ago but I have had no relapse and have been in good health ever since. I think there is no medicine to equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These pills actually make new blood which carries to the starved nerves the elements they need They contain not one particle of opiate, morphine, cocaine or anything "soothing." They cure troubled nerves by removing the cause of the trouble.

NO EPIDEMIC IN UMATILLA COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER RE PORTS 25 TYPHOID CASES. Into Streams and Temporarily Contaminated Water Supply. The statement recently made that 100 cases of typhoid fever exist in Umatilla County is proved by the following: letter from Dr. W. G. Cole, county health of ficer of Umatilla, to be without founda tion. Dr. Robert C. Yenney, sec retary of the State Board of Health, wrote to Dr. Cole for immediate informa tion on this point and received the fol lowing assurance that the report was greatly exaggerated: There are in this city not to exceed 25 cases, and the majority of these cases come from the surrounding territory. I do not know of a single case directly traceafble to the city water. The people have been repeat edly warned through the newspaper to boil all water ised. The trouble is that during the flood there was considerable vegetable matter and refuse washed into the streams, which has settled in the bedrock, and held in place by the grav el bed above the bedrock. It is Impossible to get rid of this, as it is in. the river for miles above the source of our water supply. We have repeatedly warned the people, by means of the newspapers here, to boll the water, and it seems as though the worst Is over. Another source of trouble here are the wells In the country. These wells in the Winter have considerable water in them and are unused. When the Summer season Is on the water in the wells gets low. They are cleaned out but along the sides of the wells aa the water has receded there is left a deposit of silt that washes off as they draw the water from the wells by means of buckets. Tou will appreciate also that In the dry season gophers and squirrels seeking water burrow Into these wells and many times drop In and decompose before people seem to realize there Is contamination. The tanks used In the har vest fields are another source of trouble. They are laid by during the Winter season, and then brought into use perhaps without being boiled or scalded out, and this furnishes us with trouble. Notwithstanding the constant advice given year after year by nearly all physicians about these troubles, the people persist In the old methods. Another source of water contamination here Is a bug about the size of the chinch bug, which accumulates by the thousands In and around some of the wells; they drop In the wells and sometimes form a layer an inch deep In the bottom. Now, I know many of the conditions men tioned do not cause typhoid, but they are a source of water contamination, which gives rise to a form of continued fever with many of the typhoid symptoms, and Is so called by the physicians. Tou can't help liking them, they are so very small and their action so per fect. Only one pill a dose. Carter's Lit tle Liver Pills. Try them. Drl Norton Davis & Co.
