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.

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.

SMITH THE LOSER
Sues for Divorce and Wife
Gets the Decree.
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.

Three -Ministers Guests of Honor at
Taylor-Street Church.
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.

East Glisan Street Will Not Be
Widened to 80 Feet.-
END OF LONG, HARD FIGHT
Decision by Council Street Commit
tee Is Victory for Small Propcrty
' owners Street Kail way Peti
tions to Be Taken Up Soon.
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.

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
