THE MORNING 3REGOXIAX. SATURDAY. APRIL 27, 1907. 11 CONGESTION GETS WORSE EVERY DA! Situation Is Now So Serious That Interests Involved Are Alarmed. EMBARGO ON THE 0. R. & N. 'o Frrlglit Will Be Moved Westward From Huntington for 72 Hours Hope to Relieve . Local Conditions. Congestion of freight In the terminal yards In this city is growing worse dally. The situation has reached such a serious state that the Interests Involved are Be coming alarmed. Orders were issued yes terday by the officials of the Harriinan system suspending for 72 hours the move ment of all -westbound freight over the O. it. & N. between Huntington and Port land. The order took effect at once, and no freight will be moved over this system west of Huntintrton until after Sunday. This action is taken by the company with the hoie of relieving, the situation In Portland by permitting the free and unin terrupted movement of freight eastward, to the. exclusion of all incoming freight. The transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce held a meeting yes terday and reviewed the situation. It was decided to appeal to the shippers, trans fer agencies and the railroad companies to co-operate for the more expeditious movement of freight. Members of the committee declare united action is imper- atlve on the part of all interested if a condition already alarming Is to be con trolled and the movement of freight is not throttled entirely. "This matter has been carefully inves tigated since April 1," said Joseph N. Teal last night, "and the committee is still working to remedy matters. Owing to an increase In the congested condition of the terminal yards in this city, shippers must ilo everything in their power to expedite the -movement of freight or the situation will become very serious. In the O. R. & N. yards at Alblna there are 400 loaded cars and between 200 and 300 carloads are on the way to this city, having already passed Huntington. These 600 ears repre sent the condition regarding the O. R. & !N., and docs not include cars belonging to the Northern Paelflo and the Southern Facltlo systems. "The more rapid handling of this freight 5s Imperative if a serious condition is to lie averted. Irrespective of the causes leading up to the situation or speculation as to how a like situation can be avoided in the future, the fart remains that the condition exists and the united action of everybody is necessary to remedy mat ters. Only 32 cars are being unloaded . dally from the team tracks. This move ment of freight should be doubled. The committee representing the Chamber of Commerce has plans in view by which it is expected to be able to hasten the work of unloading these cars. The plan pro poses a systematic movement by which transfer men will be informed every morning just what cars are to be un loaded. This will greatly expedite the work and avoid much confusion that now exists. The committee also expects to adopt a plan for more quickly loading less than carload lots for shipment from "this city. "Other plans for treating -with the situ ation will . be-suggested as they are de vised by the committee, but in the mean time, -with the assistance of shippers and transfer men, we expect to be able to meet the condition and avaid a serious state of confusion that will certainly en sile without united and systematic ef fort." J. P. O'Brien, general manager of tlie Jlarriman. lines, and the representatives of other railroad systems attended the meeting of the transportation committee yesterday and joined in the recommenda tions that have been made. HATES TO BE FIXKD MAY 8 A. DJ Charlton Denies Action Is De layed ty Hill Iiincs. Hates from Pacific Coast points to the Jamestown Exposition, it is announced, will not be fixed by the transcontinental railroads until May 8, -when the Trans continental Passenger Association will hold a meeting. At that time it is ex pected rates to the various Eastern termi nals will also be considered and adjusted. A. I. Charlton, assistant general pas senger agent of the Northern Pacific, de nies that the Hill lines are responsible for the delay In announcing Exposition rates. Discussing the subject yesterday, he said: Ths Hill lines are not stnndlnir in the ny of east-bound rates. The naming of liiene rates Is a matter of agreement be tween all lilies. These lines as yet have not been able to determine Just what rstea are necessary, or to mdat points: and tho ques tion is up for consideration hy the Transcon tinental Passenger Association at its meet ing to be Tield May 8 next, at which time undoubtedly tho matter will be fully de termined. As this east-bound business does not move until after the closing of the rhoels in June the mooting refered to Is unpin time to determine tho rates. There are a great many things to be con liriered in connection with such matter, ur-h m rfAtcs of ulo. limits In both di rections, etc.. which must be In Una with the groatest good for the greatest number f people and before such rates can be an nounced It ia always necessary to go Into the mutter and set in touch with all of the different localities ' Interested. In addition, the different lines at the present time are ronsldering this matter and decision will undoubtedly be made by all lines at the meeting referred to. The Hill lines have no more to do with this than all of the other lines, they alt being Interested therein and must be a party to whatever arrangement is niude. Batiery Bound for Philippines.

Mary's Lamb Backed Off the Boards John Bell la Waiting at the Church and Everywhere Else That M. Ella I.rhiuan Goes. Vf ART'S little lamb must stand aside I I for John Bell, if the story related to Deputy District Attorney Bert B. Haney by Mrs. Ella Lehman is true. Bell's "following" proclivities are not to be beaten by any. one or anything, ac cording to the tale of woe told by the woman, who lives with her husband at Franklin and Aspen streets. She has be come so weary of being "tagged" by Bell that 'she had him arrested yesterday. "If I go to church," said Mrs. Lehman, "there is Bell, waiting. If I take a street car ride. Bell Is sure to follow. If I go to the grocery store or meat market, there is Bell. I have become so tired of this man's persistent attentions ' that. I cannot endure it any longer." "Bell certainly must be a ringer," said Deputy Haney, after drawing up the complaint. "He must be a wonder at following, in fact, I understand, wherever Mrs. Lehman goes, there he is sure to be with bells." When the case comes up today in the Municipal Court, a spicy trial is predict ed, as Mrs. Lehman made a special re quest of Mr. Haney "not to go into the past at all" in handling the affair in court. The only explanation given by Mrs. Lehman for Bell's persistence in follow ing her is that he wishes to discuss some thing with her. She declines to state the particulars, If she knows.

BABY'S DEATH ENDS LOVE Husband Objected to Wife's Visits to the Grave or Her Little Child. Court Censures the Complain ant and the Police Officers! That her husband's cruelty towards her took the form of forbidding her to visit the grave of their little daughter in a local cemetery was the complaint made by Mrs. F. F. Smith in the State Circuit Court' yesterday. Mrs. Smith said that the death of their only child marked the end of domestic tranquillity In the house hold. Her happiness was hurled with the child, she said. In awarding? her a de cree of separation. Judge Scars decreed that the cemetery lot become her prop erty. The suit for divorce was filed by the husband, who accused Mrs. Smith of un wlfely conduct. The decree of separation, however, went to the wife. The case was closely contested. Mrs. Smith establishing to the satisfaction of the court that the husband committed the greater domes tic errors, having exhibited undue affec tion for a Mrs. Cole, even being arrested while In her company on one occasion. In passing on the case Judge Sears ex pressed surprise at Smith's 'effronterv In suing for a divorce in the face of his own escapades. .Ho also took occasion to censure Policemen B. V. Smith and J. F. Anderson, who arrested the husband and Mrs. Cole. The officers were evasive In their testimony concerning this episode. Judge Sears said the little they -were will ing to remember about the arrest was re markable, considering the recent occur rence of the event. He suggested that they seemed to have made up their minds to forget.before coming Into court, and in timated that they showed a decided In clination to favoritism in their testimony. Mrs. Smith broke down several times while -In court, and wept bitterly. In tell ing of her husband's command that she keep away from their child's grave, the woman said she went to the ccmeterv as regularly thereafter as before, to place flowers on the mound. She was given full ownership- of the grave, alimony In the sum of $10 a month, and property worth MUST NOT DESERT HIS WIFE Pickcl Will Xot Re Allowed to Give Her Up for Another. "I do not think this case justifies mv granting a divorce to Mrs. Pickel Her husband evidently wants a separation from her so that he can marry this other woman. There is entirely too much of this kind of business, and the court will better protect her interests and those of her children by compelling him to sup port her, and treat her as a husband should. If he tries to skip out, as he says he will do. we will put him on the rock-pile and compel him to contribute to the support of his family. 'These were the words of Judge Frazer when Elda Pickcl. a frail little woman, appeared before him yesterday, asking separation from the man who has de serted her for a Mrs. Blanchard. who. It is alleged In the complaint, is the cause of all the trouble. The wife was willing to have a decree entered, but both Judge Frazer and District Attorney Manning do not intend to allow Pickel to secure legal separation for the purpose of re marrying the other woman, so It was re fused. Jerome Palmer asked for release from his wife on the grounds that she insisted on going to dances with other men and that he had endured trouble with her the first year after they were married. The couple Anally separated October 22 and the decree was allowed Palmer on the charges of desertion and Infidelltv. Emily M. Lucas testified that her hus band. Moton M. Lucas, treated her cruelly and came home in an intoxicated condition frequently, at which times h9 abused her and his daughter. The same facts were brought out by Pearl, the daughter, and the woman was given her maiden name and custody of the child. Ollie Burgess alleged abuse from her husband, Lemuel Burgess. They were married In The Dalles September 27, 1S93, and have no children. She told of her sufferings and trouble, and the Judge took the case under advisement. Mrs. Birdie S. Bagley charges John E. Bagley. her spouse, with desertion. She testified that she had to make her own living practically all the time they lived together, which was but a few months, and then he insisted on drinking up what little she could earn. She was allowed legal freedom and the return -of her maiden name. F. S. Schroedcr said his wife was in fatuated with other men. They were married October 1. 1902, and lived to gether until recently, when he alleges he could endure her conduct no longer. Di vorce was granted him after a severe cross-examination. SAYS HIS WIFE MAY KETUHX Cromwell Wants to Drop Charges Against Colored Preacher. Dr. Paul Cromwell called at the office of the District Attorney late yesterday afternoon, and in the absence of Mr. Manning offered the stenographer $2.50 if the charges he preferred against Rev. John Smith, who eloped with Cromwell's wife, could be withdrawn. Finding that nothing could be done. Cromwell left the office, determined to settle the case with out prosecution if possible. Rev. John Smith is the pastor of Mount Olivet African Church, and from what can be learned from some of h!s par hiboners they will make an effort to have tlie indictments against the preacher and Mrs. Cromwell withdrawn, as it is under stood a feeling of forgiveness exists on the part of all parties concerned, and Cromwell is willing to take his wife back. Smith has not been apprehended, but it is understood that the pair are still in Washington. The rumor that the woman had returned to her husband has not been substantiated, but it Is under stood that both Cromwell .and the of ficials know where she Is at present. ALLOWED ' FVLL COMMISSION Judge Gantenbcin Gives Decision Af fecting Heal Estate Men. Judge Gantenbcin yesterday afternoon decided a case involving the sale of $45, 000 worth of property in this city, allow ing Charles k. Henry judgment for the collection of his full commission of $1770 claimed for the sale of the property. The decision will be of great interest to all real estate men - and property-owners, as many owners use the efforts of agents to find out what might be secured for their properties, and then decline to sell or pay the agents for disposing of them. The Judge's decision was to the effect tthat Henry bad fully earned bis commis sion from Dr. George A. Harker of Mill Valley. Cal., for making a sale of the store property on First street now occu pied by the Martin Furniture Companv. which Henry sold to A. H. Mallgy and the late Frank C. Baker, on December 15. 19(6. for J45.O00. The testimony showed that Mr. Henry, under written instructions, had begun ne gotiations for tho sale of the property in March of last year for this amount After all arrangements lhad been made, Henry received from Harker the follow ing letter: "I have your wire informing me that you -have a customer willing to buy the property at $45,000. and while we- admit the price is a good one in view of the conditions of the lease, we have decided not to sell, owing to increasing values, and regret putting you to any trouble." Henry will now be able to enter judg ment for the full amount of his commis sion promised by Harker. LUMBER COMPANY IS SUED W. J. Johnson Wants $13,900 Dam ages for Breach of Contract. A suit was filed yesterday by W. J. Johnson against E. E. Hyland, W. H. Hyland and Ira D. Hyland in the United States Court, asking damages in the sum of $13,900. The defendants comprise- the Hyland Lumber Company. Johnson is a Californlan and the lumber company's property Is located near Eugene. Johnson alleges in his complaint that he entered Into an agreement with the Hyland company to sell its sawmill prop erty for $3S.9O0. for which he was to re ceive a commission of $1900: if he sold the property for more than $38,000 he was to receive the difference between that amount and the selling price. He alleges that he secured a purchaser for the prop erty at a price of $TiO.0O0 and that he de posited $2500 in a Eugene bank to bind the sale. After doing this Johnson claims that the Hylands refused to sell to his purchaser, and later sold the property to another person. Because of the breach of contract Johnson asks Judgment for $13, 900. $1900 as commission and $12,000 as the difference between the agreed price and the price which Johnson's purchase was willing to give. A. E. Nathan Dismisses Suit, i A. E. Nathan yesterday dismissed his suit against D. L. and T. K. Wertheimer and in doing so made the following state ment: "The litigation commenced by me against I. L. and T. E. Wertheimer lias been dismissed and all differences have been satisfactorily adjusted. The books of the Nathan & Wertheimer Company were kept for a portion of time in such manner as to make me believe that there were irregularities, upon which I based the charges in my complaint. I find upon investigation that there was no misappropriation of any of the assets of the corporation by the defendants. "A. E. NATHAX." Decisions by Judge Clcland. Judge John B.

A reception was tendered last night at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church to Rev. Daniel L. Rader, editor of the Pa cific Christian Advocate; Rev. William Jennings, of the Western Publishing Com pany, and Rev. Francis Burgctte Short, pastor of the church. The altar was beautifully decorated with dowers and special music was rendered by the choir. Rev. W. H. Heppe. of the Centenary Church, was scheduled to be the princi pal speaker, but his address was post poned and Rev. William Jennings spoke on the "Work of the Pacific Christian Advocate." He called attention to the fact that the Advocate was half a century old. the official organ of the Methodist church, and that it accomplishes a wonderful work in its field in connection with the church. He deplored the spirit of com mercialism that was growing up in re ligious circles, and the feeling that un less church affairs could be run for a profit they should be treated the same as any other commercial enterprise and dis continued. His address was followed by Rev. W. H. Heppe, who spoke on the work of the Advocate and appealed trf the people to rally to its support. He gave an outline of what he considered a model organ to accomplish the work needed by a publica tion of this class, and spoke strongly in favor of united action in taking care of it. Rev. Dr. Bovard of California marie an appropriate address on the work of the church and church publications. The reception was given by the Metho dist Men's Social Union, after which a luncheon was served by the women of the church. Mllwaukle Country Club. Eastern and California races.

Ea,st Glisan street, from East Twelfth street to the city limits, is to be 60 feet in width. The street committee of the Council yesterday announced that it will recommend to the Council the 60-foot street In preference to the 80-foot thor oughfare as desired by the largo property-owners on the street. The action of the Council yesterday ends a fight that has been continued before the street committee several meetings between the large and small property-owners. A majority of the small property-owners opposed the extreme widtli, but estates and owners of large acreage tracts held out for 80 feet. Each side flooded the committee with petitions and from 200 to 300 property-owners have attended the last three or four- meetings of the com mittee. Many of the small property-owners declared before the committee that an SO-foot street would result In the practi cal confiscation of their property. The committee also decided to recom mend a resolution to the Council to pave Johnson street from Fifteenth street to Twenty-fifth street with hard-surface pavement. The committee recommended that the street be improved its full width and that it not be parked, four feet on each side, as contemplated. The street committee will hold a spe cial meeting Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'clock, when it will consider the peti tions of the United Railways Company and the Oregon Traction Company asking for extensions of time to 1910 in which to complete their lines. The meeting will be held Tuesday, so that the Council can act upon the question at the regular meeting Wednesday afternoon. Herman Wittenberg. W. H. Moore and A. C. Emmons represented the companies before the committee yesterday. They urged that immediate action be taken, as they said that time was of vital Interest to them. Mr. Wittenberg said that ter tain capitalists will visit Portland within a few days to look over the prospects of the United Railways Company. He said the company whs acting in en tirely good faith, and that all it asked was merely enough time in which to com plete lines. The companv- is expending about $20,000 a month in construction work. About half a dozen or more local men are Interested in the United Railways Company, which acquired the franchise of the Oregon Traction Company. The communication and blueprint from the Portland Board of Trade relative to the new Madison-street bridge was re ferred back to City Engineer Taylor. Mr. Taylor told the committee that the grade on Madison street could be raised so as to permit a higher bridge, but that own ers of abutting property might Insist upon damages. Beginning from a point W0 feet east of Front street, a grade of about 214 per cent could be established on the 360 feet to the draw, which would raise -the bridge nine feet higher than originally contemplated. The. charter amendment, which will he voted upon in June, provides . that the new bridge must conform to the estab lished grades on Hawthorne avenue and Madison street. 'By raising the grades the Council can establish almost anv level it deems advisable for the new structure. , MOLDERS MAY NOT STRIKE National Industrial Peace Associa tion Possibly Will Take a Hand. If the ironmolders' strike is called, the Portland branch of the National Indus trial Peace Association may take a hand and seek to bring about a settlement without subjecting the public to the in convenience of a protracted strike. This association will complete its organization next Monday and will be in a position to take up any labor difficulty that may be presented thereafter.. Under the provisions of its constitution the association is authorized to seek first to harmonize all differences between em ployer and employes. Failing in this, it is expected to use Its best efforts to have the controversy submitted to arbitration. The board of directors, consisting of 26 men, representing the three interests that are involved in every labor trouble the employer, the employe and the public Is then expected to lend Its assistance in selecting the members of an arbitration board by which tile difficulty is to be ad Justed. Members of the ironmolders' union in Portland have received no further advices from the international officers regarding the strike. The walkout, they admit, will not take place May 1 and not until official sanction is given by Joseph Valentine, National president of the organization, to whom the demands of those workmen have been submitted.
