CLAIMS OX THE MELANOPE Master of Northland Leaves Recital of Salvage "With Customs Officers. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 14. (Special.) Before crosing out today. Captain Jam ieson, of the steam schooner North land, filed a protest at the Custom House, reciting the circumstances sur rounding the picking up of the derelict British bark Melanope, in order to es tablish a record of his claim to salvage. Captain Wills, master of the Melanope, arrived here tonight from Tacoma. The derelict is still lying in the lower harbor with a portion of the North land's crew on board. The customs authorities have sealed up the hatches and cabin on the craft, which is still claimed as the absolute property of the Northland. It Is understood that the Melanope was Insured for her full value and a representative of the under writers, as well as the managing owner of the Northland, is expected to ar rive here tomorrow, when steps will probably be taken to decide the owner ship of the craft. Undoubtedly it will require a ruling of the admiralty court to settle the matter, as some of the passengers on the Northland believe they have a salvage Interest in the derelict. There has also been some talk that the steam schooner Daisy Mitchell, from which the North land secured a large hawser ' with which to tow the derelict, would also claim part of the salvage, but the as sertion is now made that Captain Johnson purchased the hawser outright before taking It on boacd. . CHINESE COOK A DESERTER Celestial on the Oweenee Takes French Leave. Louie Sing, who formerly furnished choice viands for the cabin and boiled salt horse for the crew of the British ship Oweenee, is now roaming the streets of Portland, or safely hid in the domicile of some "cousin," much to the discom fiture of Captain Burchell and the im migration officers of this port. The Chinaman shipped at Liverpool and during the time the ship lay at that port manifested no particular desire to go ashore. The confines of the galley, however, grew small when he gazed on the verdant hills of Oregon and a longing to stroll around came over him. He took French leave and now Captain Burchell Is willing to pay $50 for Information that will lead to the arrest of the cook. Mr. Barbour, in charge of the Immigra tion Bureau, has forwarded a report to District Attorney Bristol who will look Into the matter. ' There is a Federal statute under which a master is liable to a fine of $500, or imprisonment for one year. If he permits any person on board hi. ship to land in the United States if not entitled to be in this country. The Oweenee arrived in Portland Oc tober 28 from Antwerp and Is under char ter to Taylor, Young & Co., to load lum ber for Valparaiso, Chile. Her master is part owner in the vessel. BRINGS CARGO OF HARD WOOD Steamship Vermont Loading Siberian Wood for Portland. The British steamship Vermont is under charter to bring a cargo of Siberian hard wood to Portland. The steamer is now in one of. the Asiatic ports loading. Her . cargo will be in the form of logs and will foe sawed into lumber here. . , Banfleld & Knnti are now building a saw mill near the plant of the Eastern & Western mills for the purpose of saw ing hard wood lumber and are the pion eers In the importation of Siberian woods. It Is claimed that steamers will be regu larly employed In supplying the mill. Oriental hardwoods, also will be brought over. No outward charter has been announced for the big tramp, but in all probability she will take wheat for the Orient. CAPTAINS AND OWNERS FINED Authorities Are Determined to En force Pilot Laws. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 14. (Spe cial.) Eight cafltalns and eight owners of as many steamers were fined each J100 today for running their craft with out licenses as pilots The total fines amount to $1600. The customs authori ties here have received Instructions to strictly enforce the law. It is under stood that no man is to be allowed to take charge of the helm unless he has a pilot's license. Some of the captains fined have been sailing out of Gray's Harbor for six or eight years. CAPTAIN PETERSON PROMOTED Takes Command of the Robert Dollar at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 13. (Special.) F 4 - THE VENDOR OF HOIJCDAT Captain Peterson of the barkentine Newsboy has been transferred to the steamer Robert Dollar recently purchased from the Dollar Steamship Company by the Slade Mill Company of this city. The Newsboy and the Dollar are here. The first mate of the Newsboy has been pro moted to be captain. River Boats Are Delayed. Owing to the heavy freight offerings during the past week the boats of the Regulator line, plying between Portland and The Dalles, have been arriving and departing several hours behind time. The car shortage has forced many of the shippers to fall back on the river boats. Large shipments of apples are coming from Mosier and Hood River. On the up trip cement for the North Bank road is taken in large quantities. It Is estimated that over 70,000 barrels will tie moved be fore the completion of the road. Redondo Clears With Lumber. ASTORIA, Or., Dec 14. (Special.) The steamer Redondo cleared at the Custom-House today for San Francisco with a cargo of 720,000 feet of lumber, loaded at Knappton.

GROVE'S signatura is a ach box, 2Sa 8 ? : - 'l v - 4 j v s w PUBLIC LAND COURT Heyburn's Bill to Reform Trial of Contests. MAY BE PASSED NEXT YEAR Decision to Be Taken Ont of Hands of ' Incompetent Clerks and Given to Well-Paid Lawyers as Judges. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec 14. If Senator Heyburn's bill proposing to establish public land courts in each of the public-land states shall be come a law at the present or any subse quent session of Congress, there must -? is GREENS IS ALREADY OUT. necessarily be a sweeping change in the manner of deciding all land contest cases that are appealed from local land offices. At present the appeal goes to the General Land Otfice in Washington, and the next and final appeal is to the Secretary of the Interior. With thousands of cases coming up every month no Commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office can examine Into the merits of each individual contest. He must defer almost entirely to recommen dations and conclusions reached by subor dinates. Some of the advisers of the Land Commissioner have been competent men; others are notoriously incompetent. The result has been that many illegal or un just decisions have been rendered for years and years past, and in consequence innumerable appeals have been taken to the Secretary. Put Competent Men In Cbarge. But where the Land Commissioner has poor advisers the Secretary of the Interior of late years has relied on at least one man whose knowledge of land law and knowledge of conditions in the public land states is entirely inadequate for a man in his position. ,Yet this official has been the main guide of Secretary Hitchcock and his predecessor on public land problems, and because of his incompetency the Secretary has rendered many decisions that have been overruled by the courts. Mr. Heyturn recognizes the Incompe tency of some of the men who are pass ing u;5on land appeals, and believes that the only satisfactory solution of the ques tion is to establish public land courts in each of the public land states, place a competent judge in each court, and then let decisions be rendered according to the law and the facts. It is bis idea that a properly paid lawyer . is much better equipped to decide intricate land questions than an underpaid clerk, whose knowl edge of the law is apt to be limited and whose general competency is impaired by long years of service in a Washing ton department. Whenever decisions of the land courts are assailed on proper grounds Mr. Hey burn would have a final appeal to a Na tional land court, sitting in Washington, and he would have the best lawyers ob tainable on this bench. Land Lawyers Will Fight. The Heyburn bill proposes an idea that will be generally approved, yet will be fought by land attorneys in this city. Such a bill, enacted Into law, would drive out of business many of the lawyers whose sole practice Is' before the Land Office and Interior Department. But, aside from these men, little objection is likely to be raised. Being a bill of utmost Importance, it may not be allowed to pass this session, but it will at least be con sidered and be in position for final con sideration early in the next Congress. In brief, the bill establishes a United States District Land Court in each state and territory in which there now remains 1,000,000 acres of vacant public land or over, these courts to have jurisdiction to review decisions of the Register and Re ceiver of any land office within its juris diction. To insure competent men the sal ary of judges Is fixed at $5000 per annum, and they are required to have all qualifi cations of other United States District Court judges. In addition to the judge each district will have a clerk at $2500. The bill defines the manner of appeal ing from any local land office to the Dis trict Land Court, and provides for a tran script of records. The Land Courts are empowered to empanel a Jury for the trial of any question of fact, the jury to con sist of six citizens -residing within the land district in which the dispute arises. Appeals to the Land Court must be taken within 90 days after the decision of the local land office. Appellate Land Court. r In Washington Mr. Heyburn's bill pro vides for the creation of an "Appellate Land Court of the United States," to con sist of three judges, two of- whom shall constitute a quorum. Appeals may be taken from the local courts to the Appel late Land Court in cases where the juris diction of the lower court is In issue; in cases involving the construction of the Constitution of the United States, or in which the constitutionality of any law W questioned; In cases where the constitu tion or law of any state is claimed to be in contravention of the Constitution or law of the United States, or where either party to a case may appeal from the de cision of the Land Court upon the whole record and shall seek a review of the de cision of the court below. An appeal to the Appellate Land Court may be taken by either of the parties to a controversy. Tbe Appellate Court will have authority to make and enforce all orders, judgments and decrees, and have power to issue) writs of certiorari, mandamus. Injunction, etc An appeal may be taken from any final order or judgment of the Appellate Land Court to the Supreme Court of the United States in cases where the amount Involved exceeds $5000. All cases pending before the General Land Office at the date of the passage of the act shall be transferred to the proper District Land . Courts, and - all appeals from decisions of the Commissioner of the General Land Office shall be trans ferred to the Appellate Land Court, MISS BIGGERT'S MISSION Mrs. Duniway Describes the Bache lor Maid Preacher. PORTLAND, Dec. 14. (To the Editor.) If anything were wanting to prove that women are moving forward In time and tune to the eternal law of progress, the constantly Increasing number of self-made and self-sustaining members of the ttf ore time supposed -to-be supported seX, now oc cupying positions ence monopolized by the genus masculine, would supply the testi mony. One of the latest of these examples to appear,-or rather reappear. In our Port land midst (since the lady first came among us a dozen years ago), is Miss Mabelle Blg gert, of New York, a member of Rev. Mr. McArthurs Calvary Baptist Church, who last Sunday evening acceptably filled the pulpit of Rev. Mr. House In the First Con gregational Church, on Madison street. Miss Blggert la an accepted type of the modern bachelor girl. The world does not call her young (that ls( not very young), neither would It pronounce her a beauty, at least in a physical sense. But she Is womanly, accomplished, modest, plump and comfortable. She wears a smile of win ning sweetness; her voice La musical and full, and her gestures and manners are those of the trained professional woman who believes In herself and her mission. Since she was last among us the lady has visited the British Isles, the Court of St. James, Parliament and many of the abodes and personalities of royalty. She has toured Continental Europe, making the acquaintance of diplomatic circles and stor ing up for use in her native America a fund of information political, literary and religious, with which she is now favoring her native land, fche" has also spent much time in Old and New Mexico and Arizona, visited the Hopls, a peace-loving tribe of the Mesas, who are moral, peaceable, indus trious and deeply religious, and reside in dwellings reached by ladders, which, when war threatens, are drawn up after them, making their - homes impregnable to the warlike Navajos, who call them cowards because they will not fight. Miss Blggert was fortunate enough to be present at one of their rain-making festi vals, a most impressive ceremony, which was followed, incidentally, by a copious shower, thus strengthening the belief of the natives in the efficacy of the religious power of their priests to control the elements at will She also witnessed a snake dance, which she describes with vividness "Of detail. Miss Blggert is familiarly called "Dinah, the Preacher," because of her lifelike pre sentation of "Dinah" in her own dramatiza tion of the character in George Eliot's great novel, "Adam Bede." She explains that her versatility in study and pursuit arises partly from her American activity of temperament, partly from her excellent and varied training in several American colleges and especially from Inspiration gained at Cornell University. Miss Blggert - has -recently completed & long missionary campaign in Sweden, Nor. way, Denmark and Germany, preaching in scores of towns by means of an interpreter, everywhere being well received. She Is an optimistic Christian of the most progressive type believing with Tolstoi in the Old World, and Sheldon and others in the New. that it is not by the might of human legis lation or the enforcement of human laws that the world is to be converted to right eousness, but by the spirit of evangelization, consecration, liberty and love. For these reasons she believes in equal suffrage for women, not as a law-making or arbitrary force, to be placed In their hands for the government of men, but as a fundamental right of self-government, through which alone the highest human development is possible. ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAY. Grave Conflict In Testimony. The examination of witnesses in Charles Ochs' damage suit against the Oregon Furniture Manufacturing Com pany was concluded yesterday after noon. The suit hinges around state ments alleged to have been made by President Linn, of the furniture com pany, while on a visit to Ochs at St. Vincent's Hospital, July 10, 1904. Ochs and Charles Spencer, of Oregon City, both testified that Linn made state ments to the effect that he. would con struct stronger buildings" In the future than the one which collapsed, injuring Ochs. Linn was called to the stand and swore that he did not even visit the hospital on July 10. After Linn 'had testified. Attorney Frank F. Griffith commenced his opening address on be half of Ochs.
