Managers of Telegraph Companies Report They Have Force to Send Out All Business Offered. Cheering news was received at the headquarters of the striking telegraph ers at the Esmond Hotel ' yesterday from various cities throughout the United States, and similar messages were mailed from here to the men for merly behind the keys In other cities. Not a man has deserted the ranks of the striking telegraphers during the past few days. A committee from the Telegraphers' Union visited a meeting of the Freight handlers' yesterday, and the speeches of the strikers were received with cheers. The Krelghthandlers declared that they would do all In their power to help the telegraphers, saying that the move of the Federated Trades Council In promising support to the strikers met with their approval. Two telegraphers appeared at the Esmond yesterday morning and de clared that they were with the circus and had Just dropped around " to see how the boys are getting along." The visitors were soon convinced that the boys were getting along very well, and all were going to go out and see the elephant. There were no down-ln-the-mouth men around the Telegraphers' headquarters all day yesterday, al though so many went to church that the rooms looked deserted for a time. Letters received from Knoxville. Au gusta, Atlanta and El Paso declared that "all the boys are very jovial and enthusiastic." The local operators say that they had a wire from Louisville yesterday denying the report that the operators there had gone back to work. A delegation of the strikers recently called on the ofnVers of the Chamber of Commerce and asked that organization to take some action toward aiding the men In their efforts for getting better pay. As yet, the commercial body has not taken any action In the matter, but it Is thought that It will do so soon. The members ,of the Telegraphers' Union are making plans for a gala time at their benefit ball, to be given In Murlark Hall, Twenty-third and Wash ington streets, next Thursday night. -There will be many unique electric dec orations, and telegraph Instruments will be placed In booths along the sides of the hall, so, besides talking, there will be plenty of dot-and-dash gOBSlp. Manager John Annand, of the local Postal office, said last night that six men, including the chief operator and himself, were at work here. "We had all of our wires clear at 19 "and the New York and Chicago offices were all clear by 2 o'clock. One reason why we are doing so well Is because our wires do not run into depots, and so are not tampered with by country operators." When one mentions the country sta tion agents to William Dumars, man ager of the local Western Union of fice, his eyes begin to flash and he says things. "Those hyenas In the country towns are causing us lots of trouble," he de clared last night. "Every one of them ought to be sent to the penitentiary. If It was not for them, we would be doing our regular amount of business, and could attend to it. We have all the men here that we need." "How many men have you at work here?" was asked Mr. Dumars. "Well, now, I told you we had enough to do what work is required," he replied. "If we had more operators we would simply have to let them go, because we have all our wires working. Two new men came in today, and one from Pendleton yesterday." The two who arrived yesterday were reported at the strikers' headquarters to be from Salem. It was also said at the Esmond yesterday' that Churchll, the operator brought from Oregon City by Mr. Dumars, was quite 111 Friday and Saturday from the effects of over work. This Mr. Dumars denied last night, saying that Churchill never felt so well In his life. REAL ESTATE DEALER DIES J. E. Slsson Suddenly Expires Marquam Building. In J. E. Sisson. a real estate dealer, occu pying offices In the Washington Building, died suddenly about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon In the office of Dr. . C. H. Wheeler. In the Marquam Building. Mr. Slsson was on a business call at the of fice of E. J. McKeltrlck, in the Marquam Building when he suddenly complained of a severe pain over the heart. Mr. Mc Keltrlck removed him to the office of Dr. Wheeler, where he was treated. Mr. Sisson expired within a few minutes. Coroner Flnley was notified, and took charge of the body. Mr. Sisson left no family and so far the county authorities have been unable to locate any of his relatives. He was well known In his business life. ON SALEJODAY.

Charles Gorman Richards, of Ster ling, 111., spoke at the First Presby terian church last night, taking for his subiect "Christ's Commentary on the IIS DUE HERE TODAY CASHIER OK DEFUNCT BANK COMES , FROM EAST. Scapegoat of Failure Will Have Chance to Shonlder Blame or Accuse Other Officials. Interest in the failure of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank now centers In the return of Cashier W. Cooper Mor ris, who is expected to reach the city today. Not only will Mr. Morris be able to tell of the failure of his hurried trip East, which was a forlorn hope to save the bank from the crash that overtook It or at least to postpone the inevitable, but he will be asked to explain his al leged transactions In high finance charged to him by other bank officials who accuse him of handling the bank's money with a recklessness that they characterize as criminal. As yet Cashier Morris has had no chance to defend himself, but has been made the scapegoat of both president and directors of the defunct Institution. What he will have to say and whether he will attempt to shift the blame upon the others or will accept the odium for the failure will be of importance to all who are Interested in fixing the responsi bility for the disaster to the bank. No progress was made yesterday in the slow work of listing the bank's visible assets, but this will be resumed this morning. President Moore did not go to the bank yesterday, and Receiver Devlin did not prosecute his tasS as usual. A report to depositors, showing what they may reasonably expect in the way of divi dends, will be made by the receiver Just as soon as the accounts can be gone over. Meanwhile additions to the list of de positors who are asking for telephone securities in lieu of their deposits con tinue to be made. Additions to the list already published to the amount of nearly $162,000 have been made voluntarily by large depositors. This feature of the situ ation is regarded as most favorable to a satisfactory settlement of the claims of the bank's creditors. The suitcase full of securities taken East by Cashier Morris to hypothe cate for funds to tide the bank over Its difficulty did not arrive yesterday, so far as known, but this is thought to be due to the fact that the express companies do not make deliveries on Sunday, and the bonds are doubtless already in the Wells Fargo vaults. DISTRICT NEEDS HYDRANTS Without Them Highland Engine Company Will Be Handicapped. The Fire Department will Install, at Highland September 1, a fire engine which will afford excellent protection I to . vide. dUtrioL The nglce-Aouae has a favorable location, and can re spond promptly to calls in any direc tion. It can follow Union avenue to Woodlawn and Piedmont, or go on Al berta street to East Twenty-eighth and south on Union avenue. It can also reach the carbarn district within rea sonable time. It will be greatly handi capped, however, in affording this large district fire protection because of the scarcity of hydrants, which are widely scattered. At the carbarns on Kllings worth avenue, where a considerable business center has been developed, there la a big water main, but no fire hydrants. This condition prevails all through this district, especially in Woodlawn and east and west of Union avenue. Between 60 and 100 fire hy drants must be placed In this district or the expense of installing a fire en gine will be largely wasted. Portland is extending toward the north with rapid growth. Houses are being built all through the terltory as far as Columbia boulevard, but these homes will remain unprotected unless the fire engine at Highland is provided with water connections. The Nolta Improvement Association has taken up the matter with the Ex ecutive Board, in the hope of getting hydrants placed at important points. The hydrants in Piedmont are fairly good, but there are practically none at Woodlawn. . The Northeastern Im provement Association Is also trying to get fire hydrants in the Vernon section. ARRANGE FOR TAFT'S VISIT Development League Will Soon Com plete Its Plans. The Commercial Club has received a telegram from Washington announcing that Secretary Taft's party will arrive in Portland Thursday night, September 5, from Denver. Those traveling with the Secretary are Mrs. Taft, their 10-year-old son Charles, General Ciarence R. Ed wards and Mr. Taft's private secretary, W. W. Mlschler.

The brass furnace In Douglas Brothers foundry 'exploded Friday, when the em ployes of the foundry were all at work. Molten brass was scattered In all direc tions but no one .was Injured, SELLS BEER FROM GRIP DETECTIVES ARREST BALOOS KEEPER WHO TURNS VENDOR. Two Other Violation of Sunday-Closing Law In Portland and One At Llnntoa. Peddling liquor from a grip is the latest method tried Sundays by the would-be Samaritans in the t hirst -quenching line, and L. Wise, a saloon keeper at Eighth and Gllsan streets, is the man caught in the act of using this method to dispose of his wet goods in violation of John Manning's edict Acting Deteotlves Larfleld and New ell, two of the latest acquisitions to the police force, were the wily sleuths to "get wise" to Mr. Wise's little game. They witnessed a transaction whereby a man employed in the terminal yards was made the possessor of a bottle ef beer, but did not see any money change hands. It is supposed that the rail roader has an account with Wise and got the fluid by a previous agreement, for the officers watched the saloon for several minutes before the recipient 231 WASHINGTON STj, PORTLAND OREGOrl- MAKEf? or MENS C10THES arrived and Wise came out of his place with a hand grip In which reposed several bottles. Opening his grip. Wise passed one bottle over to his customer or friend, as the case might be, and the officers Invited him to accompany them to the City Jail, where the saloon man deposited $25 ball to Insure bis appearance before Judge Cameron. Wise was arrested last Sunday for a similar offense, and was fined before the Municipal Court. Acting Detectives Kay and Klenlen also discovered a thirst-dispenser In the person of Monroe Bollch, who was generously treating all the thirsty per sons he met in the vicinity of Third and Burnside streets, each of whom was allowed to partake of the con tents of a generously-proportioned jug of whisky. Bollch and George Benett. one of the thirsty ones, were arrested and taken before the authorities, where each was required to deposit $25 as ball. While near the circus grounds yes terday afternoon. Detective Maher, of the District Attorney's office, was at tracted to Twenty-fourth and Thurman streets, and on Investigation caught Chris Kalmbach. a saloonkeeper at 795 Thurraan street, in the act of giving liquor to five men whom he had invited into the saloon. Maher informed Kalm bach that an information would be filed against him Monday, and that he would have to answer to the charge of vio lating the Sunday-closing law. Sheriff Stevens, accompanied by Dep uty Sheriff Wagner, made the rounds of the county yesterday, and at Llnnton found a violation of the closing law. C Carlson, who conducts a saloon near that place, yesterday had four men in side drinking when the officers ar-' rived. The doors were all locked and en trance was effected by Deputy Wagner, who climbed through a trap door ini the celling and dropped among thaaur-j prised law-breakers. Carlson was ar-l rested and required to put up $25 ball! for his appearance at court today. Sues for Rent of Sock. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 25. (Bps-! cial.)
