Newspaper Page Text6 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1906. ALL SHIPMENTS ARE SUSPENDED Northern Pacific Gives Notice to Longshoremen and Shin glemen of Washington. EMBARGO FOR A WEEK Company Declares That It Has the Best Interests of Its Patrons at Heart, but the Shippers Are Indignant. , SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 3. (Special.) Dan W. . Bass, manager of the Shingle Mills Bureau, today received the follow ing dispatch from I. B. Richards, super intendent of car service of the Northern Pacific:" ' ....... . , "This company -believes that Improved service can be given to State of Wash ington this Autumn- by suspending load, ing destined, to the East for one 'week. The order has been amended to cover all kinds of carload freight, except per ishable, destined to territory east of Spo kane. The company has the same Inter est that Its patrons have in trying to furnish cars and move them. v e oe lleve the Dosltion taken is wise and fair, considering all the conditions, and think that your suggestion to lodge suits will simply complicate an already difficult ni I nation. v Mr. Bass responded as follows: "Is wheat, hops, coal, salmon anal canned goods Included in perishable. Every year the lumber industry is tied up for want of cars and in favor of other commodl ties. The shingle mills this year have alreadv Kiven 16 weeks' closedown and will give 90 days more this Winter, and now think we are entitled to cars, as the season for buying will soon toe over. The Great Northern claims to have plenty of cars, and as the two systems are virtual ly under one control, -why not have them furnish .Northern Pacific with cars and locomotives?" V. H. Beckman, secretary of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers Associa tion, also wired to Mr. Richards: "Your message is not satisfactory. Shippers cannot understand why they should be put out of business one week and suffer cancellation of orders and damage suits from buyers. Thirty-six locomotives at the Tacoma car shops, if placed in service, will obviate the ne cessity of your extraordinary order, ine condition is not new, similar orders nav ing been Issued every year since 1900, anJ shippers are in no mood further to toier ate conditions due to inefficiency of ex ecutive and operating departments. We must insist on the order being re scinded." Why Order Was Modified. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 3. The North ern Pacific has modified its. order placing an embargo on cars for forest products, and it now includes all classes of carload freight except livestock and perishable commodities. Further, the original order has been changed until it reads "cars des tined East of Spokane," instead of Ellens-, burg. It was found that many carloads of box shooks and other material were destined to points in Eastern Washington, and as such material was badly needed, there arose a great complaint against that part of the order. One point of the order to which the lumbermen objected most seri ously was that it applied only to lumber shipments. Complaints poured Into headquarters here, and as a modification of the order only renders more effective the plan of the company, it was promptly granted. Until September 8. at midnight, no car load shipments of freight or any class except livestock and perishable will bo received by the company.

SENATOR TELLER IN RUNAWAY Presence of Mind Saves Lives of Himself and Wife. LEW1STON. Idaho, Sept. 3. (Special.) By rare presence of mind on the part of Senator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, the lives of himself and wife were spared to day in a runaway of a team he was driv ing near this city.

Senator Teller said this evening: "There m no man In the Republican party today who can defeat Bryan in 1908, unless it Is Roosevelt, and I have serious doubts if the President himself is equal to It. The people are beginning to realize more and more that it is Bryan's own economic principles which the President has been advocating the past two years. and on which he has been winning the plaudits of the Nation."

This morning Judge Donlan, of the District Court, re fused the application of the Civic League for a writ to stop the Dougherty-Sullivan fight here tonight. As he was retiring from the courtroom Attorney T. F. Nolan, ex-secretary of the Civic League, made a remark about the court's action. Attorney W. H.

Attorney William Scallon, ex-president of the league, who had presented the ap plication for the writ, and President J. R. Russell, of the league, seized Maloney, whose blows fell short. Matchmaker John H. Mackintosh, of the Butte Ath letic Club, which organization has the contest in charge, took up Maloney's fight and attacked Nolan.

TACOMA. Wash.. Sept. 3.-(Special.) Farmers and dairymen in the Puyallup Valley are much concerned over the ef fect that forest fires have had on the cattle andl hope rain will soon clear the air of the fine particles of ash. This fine wood ash, settling on the dewy grass in the morning, is eaten by the cows and causes sores and inflammation of the lin ing of the stomach. While the quality of the milk is not affected, its quantity is considerably lessened and the temper of the cows is not at all improved. In New York State the cows die of starvation, the linings of their stomachs being covered with a fine coating of ash ana cinders that prohibited that organ from doing its regular work.

HARD BLOW TO CITY Street-Car Strike Has Offset San Francisco Trade. CAPITAL IS DRIVEN AWAY Auto Busses, Such as Are Used in Dear Old London, Are Doing a Big Business on Van Ness Avenue. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31. (Special Correspondence.) One must be optimistic indeed to write cheerfully of San Fran-i Cisco at the present moment. The street-, car strike has been one of the severest blows that human agency could deal the city. Trade has suffered to an enormous degree, Immigration has been deflected and capital on the way West has wheeled, about and returned to the East. Van Ness avenue merchants state that business has fallen off one-half. The moral effect has been bad. It has given, Richard Cornelias, President of Car men's Union. San IVanciseo. rise to such statements as: "Well, there's one satisfaction; they can't make things much worse." Worst of all. the strike has existed on. fictitious grounds. What the carmen have been willing to accept and the company. willing to grant have at no time been. beyond hailing distance from each other.' But there has existed on both sides am unwillingness to make those small con- cessions which a rightful regard for pub-, lie interest would dictate. For the most part, public sympathy haa been with the striking men. - They demand $3 and an eight-hour day. In view of the wages paid here at the present time and) the cost of living, the request cannot be called other than reasonable, but the fail ure of the union to give the company the extra 24 hours asked to render a decision has been denounced, even in union circles.) Meanwhile the city has suffered. Pasn sengers arriving late at night from out-f side towns find themselves dumped into the city in the midrt of the debris, with no cars to take them to their destination) and even doubtful of finding accommoda-i tions after reaching their hotel. Anto Busses Put in Service. Auto busses, such as are used on the streets of London, have been introduced) on Van Ness avenue, and will be main-) tained as a permanent line. The venture will pay. as the Supervisors have" decided) not to grant a franchise for a car line on. the avenue. . The busses give a foreign touch to the thoroughfare, but hava sprung into instant popularity, and each! trip shows them loaded to capacity. A) conductor stands on the steps in the back as on the old-fashioned coaches and sig-t nals to the man at the wheel by means) of a bell as on modern streetcars. Another sight equally picturesque are) the great tally ho four-in-hands .. and) coaches which large firms have been runn ning through the city collecting their cusn tomers. They carry passengers free of) charge to the establishments in auestiom ana nave served to deflect patronage. Rebuilding Is Labor's Carnival. Rati Vrwfifiann la onmina. ffraJnall- a perceive tnat tne rebuilding is to be labor's uaiuivtii. ounieone nas even ngurea out Patrick Calhoun. President of the United Railroads, Ban Francisco. that In the next five years or so labor may be expected to receive something like S160.000.000. hut th .fini.t. i. too hypothetical to warrant any closer study. However, building already begun and projected is sufficient to allow the labor on hand to dictate its own terms.

The universities have always been re garded as an index of the state's condi tion. When times are hard, the sons and daughters remain at home to help witn tne worK. Btanrortt has Just opened with the largest registration in its his tory. The University of California, which opened last week has just about the same number of students as last year at this III tH - y v 8r v oiiiiM date. The University of California is one of the largest universities in America in point of number of students and the fact that it did not lose has been regarded as a most, hopeful sign. From every corner of the state comes the message of prosperity. The abundant harvest has begun to move with increas ing gait- Grain is coming in every day in larger quantities. The storage ca pacity of the city has been taxed to the utmost. With the immense fleet headed toward San Francisco with building ma terial from all parts of the world it Is predicted that the export business, will thrive. An effort to have Congress admit to San Francisco for a stated period build ing material at a greatly reduced rate of duty will be made at the next session. With every cement plant, every mill and every factory on the Coast going at full blast, San Francisco has had to call upon the East and Europe to help in supply ing her with those materials which she usually secured on the Pacific Slope. The freight continues to roll in as before, but superior methods of handling prevent congestion. Looking over .the paper one may see that building permits aggregating some thing over Jl.000,000. were granted today. Needless to say that this is above the average, but for weeks at a time the average will exceed S-WO.OOO a day. It was at first thought that .only the class A buildings could be restored, but it has been found possible to put several lower class buildings in shape at a compara tively small expense. Vast snms are being expended simply to make rebuilding possible. For instance, it will cost the Sharon estate $100,000 to clear the Palace Hotel lot. The brick walls of the hotel stand as high and as solid as on the day they were built. Under the old style of construction the walls could be used again and instead of representing a loss of $100,000 would rep resent an asset of nearer $500,000, but modern methods call for steel and when the old Palace walls were built the ad vantages of steel were not known. An earthquake association composed of leading scientists of the state has been formed. These men will not only study the results and causes of temblors, but will assist in the rebuilding work in that they will soon report on methods of. con struction which will defy such earth shocks as San Francisco may expect in the future ,. MEN HAVE INNINGS OFFENDING SCHOOL DIRECTORS ARE PUT OUT OF OFFICE. One Said to Have Told Teachers to "Smile On" Superintendent to Obtain Fair Treatment. ; ' MOSCOW. Idaho. Sept. 3. (Special.) The most exciting school election ever held in Moscow came off here today Seven hundred and twenty-five votes were cast, whereas usually not to exceed two dozen voters are present. The women are largely responsible for the interest taken. During the last school year complaint was made by friends of some of the. most capable young women teachers at the al leged unfair treatment they received at the hands of the superintendent, xne oi rector to whom one of these complaints was made replied that the young woman concerned should "smile on" the superin tendent and let him "love her" and then he would grant her favors. When the Superintendent's term expired about 100 citizens and patrons of the school petitioned the board not to retain him an other year. The board not only hired him. but Increased his pay $300 a. year. Today the women had their inning. As sisted by many men, they elected' Fred L. Moore and Jesse Richcreek directors over J. T. Wilson and Rev. N. J. W. Nel son by about 50 majority. i YAMHILL GIVES ITS APPROVAL Democratic Leaders Express Agree ment With Government Ownership. M'MINNVILLE. Or.. Sept. 3. (Special.) Yamhill County Democratic leaders are free in expressing their faith in the prin ciples advocated by William J. Bryan since his return from Europe. Especially are they firm in supporting the policy of Government ownership of the railroads. M. B. Hendricks, a strong leader of Demo crats in this county, said today: . i "I believe Bryan's ideas in regard to Government ownership of the railroads correct. It seems to me to be the best system that can be put into practice that will eliminate the present odious featuresj The change would be healthful, and even if not secured soon will be realized in the near future." i Mayor William Macy said: "There is one thing certain: No one could be mistaken in what he said. The speech was clear-, cut and sound, and I agree with him In toto. Bryan is not theorllzng; he is ad-i vanclng ' principles that are practicable and that will, I believe, prevail. There, have already been sufficient of the unde-i slrable features In the present conditions,, and what could be better than Govern-, ment ownership?" i In general, the Democrats of this county, are solid in supporting the principles set forth by Bryan. i Won Away From Roosevelt. JACKSONVILLE, Or., Sept. 3. (Spe cial.) Charles Nickel, a. Democratic war-i horse, says: "The Bryan speech has start ed the keynote of the contest of 1908. Gov-, ernment ownership is the only way the) railroad problem can be solved. It is simply a question whether the country shall own the railroads or the railroads own the country. It Is only a matter of time when the principles expounded by. Bryan will triumph." i Jeremiah Nunan says: "I voted for Wil liam Jennings Bryan twice. I was in, doubt which I should support next time, Roosevelt or Bryan. After reading Bryan's New York speech, I am more firmly con vinced of his devotion to Democracy and the people than I ever was. Bryan is & statesman. I also believe Government ownership of all the railroad trunk linea is best for the people." i BASEBALL GAME AT SALEM Labor Day Is Given No Recognition by Laboring Men. SALEM, Or., Sept. 3. (Special.) Labor day was observed in this city by the closing of many business houses in the afternoon, but laboring people pursued their usual .vocations. At 2 P. M. a good-sized crowd witnessed an Interesting baseball game between the Merchants' National Bank team, of Portland, and the Bankers' team of Salem. Running was a feature of the game, as Indicated by the score of 13 to 11, by which Portland won. Aside from home runs by George Bishop for Portland and Chauncey Bishop for Salem, the principal plays were good fly catches by Wood, Mackenzie and True, of Portland. Batteries Forbes and Fleming for Salem, Bishop and Sperry for Port land. Railroad Improvements at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept, 3. (Special.). It was given out today by Station Agent Elder that the Northern Pacific Company will spend about $10,000 improving its pas senger station and freight depot here and extending its sidetracks. The property ot the company was greatly improved three years ago, but on account of increased business changes are to be made again, i NEW "MEN DESERT Fifty of 300 Strikebreakers Listen to Union Pickets. RIOT AT. THE. CAR BARN Guards Attempt to Prevent Imported Men From Leaving, and Good Natured Crowd Then Breaks Forth in Wrath. SAN FRANCISCO, . Sept. 8. Negotia tions toward a settlement of the car 'men's strike on the United Railroads, now in its second week, were resumed this afternoon by Mayor Schmltz and continued late into the night, but with out results. Powerful interests are be ing invoked to bring about a settlement and prevent a protracted Industrial con flict. It Is expected , that the United Rail roads will attempt to run cars tomorrow. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3. All day a crowd of strikers and sympathizers, whose numbers varied from 1000 to 8000. surrounded the United Railroads carhouse at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets, In which were housed about 300 strikebreakers, who arrived over the Southern Pacific coast line at 4 o'clock this morning. Escorted by guards, the men marched from the Valencia-street station to the carhouse in -a body. - It is said that the engineer of the special train- tied down the whistle cord of his engine at the San Mateo County line and blew a ' continuous blast all the way to the city, to ap prise the union pickets of the coming: of the strikebreakers. Pickets were on hand to receive the Imported men, but made no demonstration, contenting themselves with inviting the newcom ers to the union camp and promising them union wages at whatever trade they knew. Seventeen of the strikebreakers fell out of the ranks. on the march from the station to the carhouse and went over to the striking carmen. A large crowd gathered at the carhouse soon after daylight and the number in creased as the day advanced. Despite 'the efforts of the guards to keep the crowd at a distance and prevent the men in the barn from leaving, there were frequent desertions throughout the day. ' Some slipped out of the doors and ran past the guards; some slipped down a rope from the second story. Four got away this way. One man who left the barn was greeted with noisy acclamation by the crowd surging about the building. About 10 o'clock a fight ensued be tween the strikebreakers and some of the guards, who were forcibly trying to prevent their departure. The crowd, which until then had been good natured in Its demonstrations, became threatening. Stones began to fly in answer to a call for reinforcements by the police on duty at the carhouse. Corporal Shanahy and ten bluecoata were taken from the escort of the la bor parade and hurried to the scene. . Many women in the mob were scarce ly less active than the men and boys. A committee of the striking carmen counseled agrainst violence and assist ed the police in suppressing disorder. A funeral procession came in sight. The noise ceased suddenly and the dis orderly throng- respectfully made room for the procession and was quiet and peaceable until it passed. Riots on a smaller scale were enact ed at smaller barns where strikebreak ers were housed. It is said about B0 men who deserted the non-union ranks during the day were taken care of by the car men and will be provided with work. A num ber of the strikebreakers, it is said, were taken to the hotels by the union men and their bills paid in advance for a week. Some of these were sent back to the car barns as missionaries to persuade the strikebreakers to desert. 1 President Calhoun stated tonight that he had received letters from ten of the most prominent men In this city asking the privilege and honor of taking out the first car, and 'that 200 business men of the city had written him that they were willing to take out cars. "I am fighting for a principle," said Cal houn, "and I am waging the fight of the entire country for industrial peace." He stated that no cars would be run tomor row morning, but declared he had men right now to take out a number of cars, and intimated an attempt may be made to do so tomorrow afternoon. The Mayor had a conference with the Police Commissioners tonight, at which plans were made for the disposal of the police if the railroad attempts to run cars with strike-breakers. Beyond say ing that peace would be preserved, the Mayor refused to say what action had been decided upon, or whether policemen would be placed on the ears.
