TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 1, 1907. 3 ETO HID CITY OF IIS GARBAGE New York's Streets Piled High With Refuse; Collectors Are On Strike. GRAVE PERIL TO HEALTH Authorities Unable to Induce Men to Take Place of Strikers Unless I Help Arrives Epidemic Is Threatened. I Ji vy HjrtlV, June au. cw win J is experiencing an impressive demon stration as to what extent the comfort of the millions is dependent upon the handful, comparatively, of citizens or iainarily engaged in collecting garbage and delivering ice. Two thousand garbage Collectors and an equal number of ice wagon drivers are on strike, and the city is in peril of an epidemic of dis ease. The garbage situation is the most serious, and unless speedily remedied, the 'possibilities of evil are startling. The health department, which, upon direction of Mayor McClellan, assumed responsibility when the stroet-clei-n-Sng department proved unequal to the emergency, is exhausting its almost unlimited resources, but tonight, the best that Dr. Darlington could promise was that three hundred men would be at work tomorrow morning. Such a force will make little, headway, as 765 carts are required to remove .each day's accumulation, and the work is six days behind. The great obstacle encountered by the department is the deep-rooted sentiment among men who work for wages that one may not honorably take the place of a striker. Three dollars a day, board and permanent employment is offered, but that iaa nttT-iwtH fav V.ffciTtn tn Bf't men from other cities have now been made, and tomorrow recruits are prom ised from Philadelphia. May Draft Private Citizens. The health department took hold late Friday, and since has used its police powers vigorously and its emergency fund Df 85,000 without stint, but so far has been unable to meet conditions ef fectually. The officials of the health board Inti mated that private citizens would be Soing a public duty if they became for the time garbage collectors. The only alternative appears to be a compromise with the strikers. Though the Mayor has declared that the law does not permit dealings with civil service employes who are on strike, and the street-cleaning de partment yesterday refused to formally . . i . 1 .! ,-, .: n man it ell ici to.ui lho uciiianua u. ....-., ... was Intimated tonight that a settlement might be arranged legally. A conference between Commissioner Craven of the Street Tcleanlng Department and a committee representing the garbage-drivers will be held tomorrow. The men hold to their original demands, the most Important of which are:- First. That 48 hours constitute a Trk'i work, and that overtime' be paid at the xtt . ox K ecute per hour. - - . .- - Second. That no lines be imposed without the- opportunity for a hearing-. Third. That a system of suspension be prac ticed Instead of fines. Situation Is Growing Worse. Today the situation grew hourly worse. What work was done was In the vicinity of Chinatown, on the East Side. Mean time the waste accumulated In other streets. In places refuse was piled high and elsewhere strewn from curb to curb. Unable to do better, the health squads scattered disinfectants through miles of highways, hoping to hold in check death bearing germs. Lower temperatures had a beneficial ef fect, though a most disagreeable stench found its way into many homes and into the Bast Side hospitals. Acting Sanitary Inspector Bensel con tracted with a Philadelphia employment agency lor 1500 men. Of these 300 were to have arrived at noon today, but did . not. Late tonight word was received from Philadelphia that 100 laborers would be on hand for work at daybreak to morrow. These, with the 200 mei Com missioner Craven expects to have on ' hand, including the 160 who remained at V work when the others quit, will make up ,' a working force of 300 if the plans do iot miscarry. Possibilities of Great Peril. Mayor McClellan remained at his office all day. in frequent consultation with Chief Health Officer Darlington and Br. Bensel, the sanitary chief. Tonight Dr. Darlington said: "I do not believe there is any Im mediate danger of an epidemic, but the situation is very grave, and presents the possibilities of an imminent peril." EFFORT TO PRY OFF LIO FRED MERRIIiI ALLOWS GUESTS TO BRING BEER TO RESORT. Proprietor of Twelve-Mile House Arrested Point Will Be De cided in Court Today. Sheriff Stevens' third trip around the bristling and highly moral walls of "dry" Multnomah County yesterday in search of battle-scarred "booze-flght-ers" was a successful journey. Two - weeks ago the Sheriff flitted about the circuit of well-springs of liquid . Joy and found the lid working over Vlt, 8t SundRy h again took his bubble buggy In hand and sped from .Llnnton to Troutdale and all was well there were no attempts at lawbreaking visible. B ; But yesterday the Sheriff discovered what looked to him like a well-formed i plan to punch holeB in Multnomah's ; moral cover, and as a result ex-Coun-! cilman Fred T. Merrill, proprietor of j the Twelve-Mile House, must appear j in court this morning to answer to a charge of violating the Sunday-closing-law. Sheriff Stevens was making his usual : rounds of the country towns where there are saloons or roadhouses. He : visited Llnnton, St, Johns. Claremont :; Tavern, Troutdale and Gresham, but ; aside from lemonade and soft drinks, no wet goods were being sold. But ! about 6 o'clock In the afternoon he , drove up to the Twelve-Mile Home and ! found a party of Portland people there J. Just finishing several bottles of beer. Stevens asked for explanations, and the members of the party Insisted they had taken the beer with them from town. Stevens then hunted up Merrill, and the latter denied having sold any beer to the party, and swore bjr all that fJOi'J was good an holy that the party had the beer with them when they came, and only wanted a cool place to- drink It. Merrill In explaining the matter fur therf declared that he had consulted the District Attorney on ths point, and that Mr. Manning had assured him that there was nothing in the statute which would forbid people from drinking their own beer at a tavern. To put the matter to a test. Sheriff Stevens told Merrill to ap pear . in court this morning, and have the matter settled. Stevens also notified the District Attorney's office of what he had done, thereby putting the onus on Mr. Manning's shoulders. Last night Sheriff Stevens stated that the disposition or settlement of this point meant a great deal. He said: "If the District Attorney holds that this Is a violation of the Sunday closing law, and forbids Inn-keepers from allow ing people to even drink their own beer at such places, well and good. I can then keep the lid on throughout .the county. But if Mr. Manning decides that the road-houses are to be allowed to let their guests bring intoxicating liquors out to such places and drink with im punity, just so long as the liquor is not brought on the premises, I and my whole office force will be utterly helpless to enforce the law. In order to be sure that the law were not being violated 1 would, in that case, have to do one of two things. I would have to take stock of liquor at every road-house and saloon in the county, outside of Portland, for there can be no discrimination In favor of the taverns in this matter, every Sunday morning. Or else I would have to station a deputy at each saloon and road-house to see that the people who came there really brought their own liquor with them. Of course, either of these alternatives would entail- such an enormous expense that it is ridiculous to consider them for an in stant." Merrill's plea that his guests had a right under the law to drink their own liquor on his premises is a' novel one, and raises the question for the first time, whether that act can be construed as a violation of the law. It Is to all intents and purposes an out-and-out attempt to loosen up the lid, without making the attempt too glaring to brand it as law breaking. ( The only arrest for Sunday closing violation In Portland yesterday, was that of Sam Waffier, proprietor of the Uncle Sam Hotel In the North End. Two thirsty mortals and the proprietors were found by the police drinking beer in' one of the rooms of the hotel. Waffier's plea was that It was his own "private stock" and that he had Just Invited his friends to have a drink with him. Waf fier was arrested and charged with giv ing away liquor on Sunday. T BOISE POLICE BRING SXEAK THIEP TO LIGHT. Girls' Suspicions Point to Dangerous Man, Who Turns Out to Be Socialist and Thief. BOISE, Idaho, June 30. (Special.) Activity of the police In watching sus pected characters has had one result discovery that the Janitor of the Mode Store has been robbing the place. The man, a Swiss, named August Schadd, Is a Socialist, and has been associating with some rather suspicious characters here, the police keeping a watch on him. A few days ago a young woman who clerks in the Greenhouse Grocery came to Chief Francis with a story that a man had come in asking to have a cer tain list of things he wanted copied. Among those things were sulphuric acid. chloride of potash and sugar, the in gredients used in preparing the deto nator for the bombs used by Harry Or chard. The girl became suspicious and reported the matter to the police. From her description Francis concluded that the man was Schadd. He took the girl out on - the street and she pointed out Schadd as the man. Acting on this information the chief got out a search warrant yesterday, and made seach of the man's house for bomb materials. In place of finding such materials, he found stacks of fine goods that had evi dently been stolen. Schadd had been employed as Janitor of the Modt. Store, and Francis reported the matter to Henry Falk, the proprietor.. The latter had missed no goods, but these were rec ognized as his. Today further search of the Schadd house revealed other plun der, the whole inventorying at cost price the sum of 911.65. The lot Included silks and laces, hats and plumes, suits, and many other valuable kinds of goods. Though Schadd had not been suspected of stealing, he had been discharged some time "ago. It turned out that Schadd could not read or write. When he went to the girl to have a list copied he was seeking to get a reclpt for sore throat filled, and pointed out the wrong place in the book. Schadd made a clean breast of the robbery, saying he was in the habit of carrying goods home with him after finishing his work. FEASTING OF FIRE FIGHTERS Oregon City Companies Ignite in Giving Big Barbecue. OREGON CITY, Or., June 30.-r(Spedal.) Two hundred fire fighters held a barbe cue in Canemah Park today and enjoyed the affair until late this afternoon. Fire men were there from the six Oregon City companies, Tt. Johns, Estacada and Mil waukie, and 200 pounds of beet was roasted and served to the fireladdies, along with pork and beans, pickles, sand wiches and other edibles. The Aurora and Oregon City bands furnished the music, which Included singing by the Fountain Quartet Stratton, Latourette, Pope and Miller. County Judge Grant B. Dimlck and Judge Thomaa F. Ryan made speeches to the firemen. praising their work, and exhorting to great deeds in thep future. In the morning 'the park was opened to firemen only, and the barbecue took place. In addition to the set speeches, reminiscences and stories were told by Judge Livy Stipp, Howard F. Latourette, Councilmen William R. Logus and Charles W. Pope, Chief of the Department L. Ruconich, Chris Hartmann, Chief Glover of the St. Johns Fire Department, Mayor William Shlndler. of Mllwaukle. . Fred Miller and Mr. -Hurst, of Aurora. In the afternoon the public was ad mitted to the park, and races and sports were held. In the 100-yard dash Gus Schoenoer, of Willamette, won, and the fat man's race was won by Pete Tounger. Peters and Beaulleu carried off the prize for the three legged race after the third trial. The ballgame between the hill and down-town companies was won by the latter, with a score of 7 to 1. Accident at Salem. SALEM, Or.. June 30. (Special.) Edward Wright, a motorman on the local streetcar line, was badly crushed between two cars today, but the In Jury will not be fatal. He was about to counle the cars when one of them was started unexpectedly, breaking throe of his ribs and causing severe flesh wounds. . PHOTO POST CARDS SCENERY.

CITY DRIER THAN SAHARA Only Undertaking Establishments, Livery Stables, Restaurants and Drugstores Open Ice Cream and Soda Water Under Ban. The only law broken In the garrison town of Vancouver, all day yesterday, was by a farmer from Yacolt, who had driven into town with his buckboard in the morning. He exceeded the speed limit In trying to get cut after he heard the lid was on. He was disappearing like prunes at a boarding-house breakfast. before the authorities were notified. Portland ought to be ashamed of her self. She does not know what lids are or, what they are made for, and her offi cials, county and city, do not know how to sit on one or keep the leaks plugged 'up. Police Chief Grltzmacher, Sheriff Stevens, District Attorney Manning and Mayor Lane ought to take a Junketting trip over to Vancouver next Sunday, for after three successive trials at closing up the town, the Portland lid looks like the nozzle of a sprinkling can in compari son with." the 6-inch armor-plate hatch cover that Is clamped on in the Bar racks town. The Vancouver smsJl boy yesterday had to lock himself up in the woodshed to crack a peanut, and the private citizen threw a picket guard around his house while he turned the crank on his own Ice-cream freezer in his own cellar. The saloon-keepers got bo frightened be fore noon that they called up Sheriff Sap plngton and asked If they could leave their beer signs up over Sunday, or would they have to hide them in the back yard till Monday morning? Takes It Core and All. When Vancouver takes her bite at the apple of reform. It Is a cinch "there hain't going to be no core." Stem, skin and seed all go down with a gulp. On two short hours notice Saturday night the whole town was yanked bodily out of the liquid zone. It hurdled the soda-water belt and landed In the parched brown fields of universal' drouth with a dull thud. All records for rapid-transit were broken, and the blow was struck bo suddenly and unexpectedly that the victims were taking the count before they knew they had been hit and forgot to lay in a supply of laughing water for the restful Sabbath. It was about 10 o'clock Saturday night when City Attorney Stapleton, after a conference with Mayor J. R. Harvey, Chief of Police A. Bateman and Sheriff W. P. Sappington affixed his John Han cock to the Imperial Ukase. Sheriff Sap-. .pington and Chief Bateman then .went out to spread the glad tidings. Every where they went they were as welcome as the plague. There are 82 saloons nd hotel bars In Vancouver. The Sheriff visited 16 and the Chief 16. It was the saddest 16 to 1 platform a politician ever ran on, and after careful explanation of the order. the officials departed by announcing glee fully, "You 11 have to grin and bear it. The people want It. "You can make us bear It. but Til be d d If you can make us grin,", was the usual retort of the booze dispenser. But In every instance he was a good Willie, locked the door,, threw the key out of the window and hung his apron In the Icebox. Most of the bartenders spent yesterday In their neighbors' cher ry trees, eating unborn cocktails. In most of the saloons the electric fans had kept the temperature 'down, while the authorities were breaking the news. but it was 147 in the shade when they called at the cigar stands, ice-cream par lors, dairies, bakeries and butcher-shops. The reception they got was about like three months of mother-in-law when the head of the family is trying to settle down for a quiet Summer. Altogether It was fun for the Sheriff and the Chief. Heretofore, Vancouver, being a wide-open town in the broadest senso, the officials, for the most part, are liberal in their views on questions of civic morality, so- when the good peo pie of Vancouver, and among them the grocers, the ice-cream vendors, the bak ers and the like, clamored for a closed town, the authorities decided to enforce the state law to the letter. The merchants or shopkeepers of the classes mentioned who had been in the habit of keeping open Sunday, of course, desired that only the saloons should be closed; but they had failed to read up on the law. So. after some dickering and political Jockeying In which, it is alleged, the liquor inter ests were quite generally consulted, the latter said they would stand for a strict enforcement of the law or they would fight to a finish. Then the blow fell. Makes But Four Exceptions. . The law says specifically that only four classes of establishments shall be allowed to do business on Sunday. They are undertaking parlors, livery stables, eating-places and drugstores, but drugstores must not sell anything except on prescription, postage stamps not included, and restaurants and ho tels must' not serve drinks or cigars with their meals. The hotels must not serve their guests with drinks or cigars In their rooms, nor will thry be allowed to send out and buy Ice cream for their dining-room patrons. Hotels may serve ice cream If they make it themselves, but no Ice cream parlors may do business. The candy merchants, the cigar deal ers, the billiard parlors, the'theaters, the merry-go-rounds, and the social clubs howled like wolves when they were told that they would be given a "day off" on Sundays hereafter. One man who had taken great Inter est In citizens' mass meetings, and had signed the "closed town" petition, is in terested In a large confectionery store, with a soda fountain. ' He also sells cigars; peanuts and gum on the side. He .had ordered 100 gallons of Ice cream for the Sunday trade, and he begged and pleaded with Chief Bate man half a dozen times to be allowed to keep open. Y ou want the law enforced, and you'll get It," was the Chief's answer. All Social Clubs Closed. . There are two or three social clubs In Vancouver with bars in connection, but they made no attempt to remain Jopen. Hagers Theater -was closed for the first Sunday since It was built. The big merry-go-round on Main street, which has been reaping a harvest on Sundays, was empty and silent- The Sunday afternoon concert by the Four teenth Infantry band In the park, which. always attracts thousands, was a frost. , C there being fewer than 100 people pres ent. It Is hard to say whether the street railway company lost anything or not as a result of lidding up Vancouver. There were hundreds of Vancouverites who had failed to provide themselves with any snake-bite remedies the night before, but they had friends in Port land who had a case, or a couple of bottles, on ice, and so they went to Portland. There were, on the other hand, hundreds of Portlanders who hadn't heard that Vancouver had be come a desert In a night, and so they sought It as the regular weekly oasis. When they got to Vancouver, the only wetness they could find was the back water of the Columbia and a few lawn sprinklers. How the order did hit the boys at the Barracks: Had the commandant of the post desired to mobilize the troops stationed at Vancouver he could have done It In three minutes by placing a case of cool beer at the main gate of the military reservation. Loggers. lumber-Jacks, railroad con struction gangs and gay young blades from the surrounding rural regions, who hadn't read the Sunday morning papers, also got it where they were thirsty. A man with a pint flask was entitled to a Carnegie medal on the spot. A quart bottle would have given him the solid Clark County vote for United States Senator. Nobody seemed to know where the people of Vancouver spent Sunday, unless the vast majority of them stayed at home and looked at the funny pictures In the papers, for the town was quiet as a cemetery.' The streets were practically deserted, save a few score or more of those unbeliev ing souls who were looking for a crack In a door big enough to crawl through and put out the fires under their belts. "The lid is on absolutely tight," sold Chief of Police Bateman, last night. "There have been only two ar rests for Intoxication, and these two men brought their booze Into town with them or had hang-overs from last night. Not a single arrest was made for violation of the state law which we put Into effect. We don't do things by halves over here. The Portland lid Is no lid at all. You let your billiard parlors keep open. You sell cigars, you have Sunday theaters and other places of amusement going full blast. You sell candy, pop, soda water,- pea nuts and all that. The law In Oregon is just like' the Washington law, and we are enforcing our statute. We are going to let the people have a taste of this sort of thing give them all they want, and we are not going to make fish of one and flesh of another. "Portland people alone spend J3000 or 4000 each Sunday here of late. They haven't spent a cent here today, so far as we can see, and the establishments that have been running on Sundays be fore have lost their local trade." Chief Bateman added that he thought it was Just a case of the moral wave overwhelming Vancouver as It had done scores of other cities. He would not say whether he thought it would last for any considerable length of time or r.ot. The general Impression in Van couver seems o be that to enforce the law as literally as it was yesterday will Injure the town, and retard ?ts growth materially. While none would say so outright, it was freely hinted that to keep the lid on as tight as It now is will become a most unpopular "fad" In time, and that there will be a let-up sooner or later. Vancouver has not been a real "closed town"' for 23 years. There was some kind of an explosion under the lid a few weeks after it was fastened on the other time, and It was blown off so far out of sight and reach that it had never been found. The authorities declare they were pre pared for any trouble or disturbance that might occur after midnight, last night, for the saloons were planning to open at 12 o'clock, seeing that under their license they are allowed to run .24 hours a day If they like. SHEEP SLAYER AGAIN BUSY Range War Breaks Out Afresh In Eastern Klamath County. LAKEVIEW, Or.. June 30. (Special.) Again the layer of sheep on the range has been at work In Eastern Oregon. Word reached here today that while F. H- Fajcton, of this place, was ranging a bunch of mutton sheep toward the railroad at Merrill to get them to market, unknown parties shot down some 30 or 40 head. The slaugh ter took place In Eastern Klamath County, the same locality where sheep were killed some two or' three years ago, when the range war was on, and several thousand sheep were slaugh tered and their owners almost bank rupted financially. No reason can be assigned for the recent slaughter, other than objection on the part -oft the stock men using that particular range to taking sheep through what they would term "their territory." ATTORNEY WORKS OX SUTTDAT Getting Ready to Bring Suit Against the Oregon & California. SALEM, Or., June 30. (Special.) Though this was Sunday it was no day of rest for Attorney B. D. Townsend, who was sent to Oregon by the United States Attorney-General to bring suit against the Oregon and California Railroad Company to cancel Its land grant for non-compliance with the conditions of the grant. Mr. Townsend was at work nearly all day In the state library looking up the law to support the positions he intends to take relative to the rights of the Government since the company has violated its part of the contract contained in the grant. Mr. Townsend declines to announce just what course he thinks the Government will take and will make no announcement until he has reported to the Attorney General. He was in consultation with Congressman Hawley last evening and says he received much valuable assist ance from that source. He will also re ceive while here such suggestions as may be offered by attorneys representing private individuals who are Interested in the case. He will be here several days. PARADE PHOTOS FIESTA.

MEMBERS EXCHANGE VIEWS Latin-Americans Raise Only Opposi tion to Proposals to Make Private Property at Sea Inviolable. Europeans Issue Statement. THE HAGUE, June 30.-Pronting by the holiday, the leading plenlpotentaries met privately today to exchange views on the principal questions before the peace conference. Joseph H. Choate and General Horace Porter conversed at length with Sir Edward Fry and Sir Ernest Satow, of the British delegation. Professor De Martens, of Russia, Count Tornelll. of Italy, and Dr. Kriger, of Germany, while William T. Buchanan, who was the chairman of the American delegation, which attended the Pan American congress, discussed affairs with several of the South American delegates. Some opposition seems to be raised against the proposition of the Inviolably y of private, property at sea by several Latin-American countries, which, having no merchant marine, think that the abolition of the right of capture and of privateering will deprive them of a weapon dreaded by their enemies. The whole triple alliance, however, strongly support this proposition. Indeed, among the numerous secret documents distributed today in sealed envelopes to the delegates are definite declarations to that effect. Austria Takes Liberal View. The Austrian delegation issued the fol lowing declaration: The Inviolability of private property at sea having- been the object of many serious works and Judicial studies is now so generally acknowledged that a new discussion of this principle is merely a recapitulation, more or leas identical with those uttered many times by the most competent and erudite scholars. Austria, taking lnU account private Interests and the essentially humanitarian object of this principle adopted it long ago. It therefore wishes to state that It will follow the most liberal point of view regarding the capture and confiscation of merchantmen. Italy makes the following statement: Italy being among the signatory powers of the declaration of Paris, March 39, 1856, re garding the abolition of privateering, strongly adheres to the doctrine so tenaciously sup ported by the United States. In the confer ence of 1S09, Italy stated her position, but as the present conference might not be in a po sition to take a decision completely favorable to the inviolability of private property at sea, the Italian delegation expresses its desire that the middle course propositlQn be presented and discussed. Baron Marchal von Blebersteln, head of the German delegation, stated, to the Associated Press that Germany's attitude in this matter was entirely favorable. BOYCOTT THE CITY ELECTION Winegrowers Refuse to Fill Vacan cies In City Government. BEZIERS, France, June 30. The com mission appointed to succeed the officers of the municipality, who resigned as a result of the rioting following the wine growers' demonstration on May 13 last, also resigned recently, and the govern ment ordered municipal elections to be held. Election booths were erected, but both the candidates and the voters In stituted a boycott, and after the expira tion of the legal six hours the booths were taken down. Abbe Klein to Tonr America. PARIS, June SO. Abbe Felix Klein, the well-known clerical author, sailed yesterday for the United States on La Provence.
