CENTRAL BODY'S POSITION Gms on Record as Opposing Anv Structure Not Providing for the Streetcar and General Traf fic Across the River. The United Bast Side Push Clubs passed a resolution at their meeting last night declaring that no bridge shall hereafter be built across the Willamette River that does not provide for both streetcar and general traffic. This resolution was the result of the announcement made by M. G. Griffin to the effect that the Harrlman interests owned a bridge franchise at Flanders street on both sides of the river, and that he had been informed that the companies were contemplating the erec tion of a railroad bridge at Klanders street without streetcar facilities. Mr. Griffin said that he had made some investigation and had ascertained that structural Iron for a railroad bridge was now being accumulated on the East Side on the grounds of the Southern Pacific. He said he had seen this material. It was marked "E. P.' and he believed it was for a railroad bridge at Flanders street. Mr. Griffin remarked further that he had ascertained that In 1872 Ben Holladay obtained a charter for a bridge at this point and that it had been renewed every ten years since, the last time In 1902. This information was entirely new to the club,, except to R. E. Menefee, of the North East Side Improvement Associa tion, who had heard It hinted that a bridge somewhere else than at Holladay avenue might be built. The matter was considered of sufficient Importance to in vestigate. Frank Sinnott, H. H. Prouty and M. G. Griffin were appoinetd to in vestigate the matter. It was announced at the meeting that the Southern Pacific had purchased much property on the West Side near Gllnan street and the gas plant, besides it was known that the Harrlman interests would like to get rid of the upper deck of the railroad bridge, but cannot do so on ac count of Its charter. It might avoid this provision by building at Flanders street. Mr. Menefee said that two plans for re building and remodeling the railroad bridge had been prepared; one was to build near by and let the present bridge take care of the traffic while the new structure was being built. The clubs indorsed f;e movement for a bridge north of Sullivan's Gulch by adopt ing the following resolution from R. fci. Menefee: Whereas, the North East Side Im provement Association proposes as one of its chief alms .to secure a high bridge for that portion of the East Side north of Sullivan's Gulch, said bridge to extend from the foot of Han cock street to a suitable terminus on the west side of the Willamette River; and. Whereas, such a bridge is an imme diate, urgent necessity for the accom modation of all the people of the East Side; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of United East Side Clubs that the North East Side Improvement Association Is entitled to the sympathy and active support of all of the East Side clubs In this undertaking. fX R- Helnts. Joseph Buchtel, R. B. Menefee and W. I,. Boise were appointed to confer with the officials of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company about the operating of "trippers" for the East SieW when travel Is heavy. This committee also was empowered to take up all streetcar questions. M. La Dagget, of the City Crematory, talked on the advantage of the city col lecting the garbage. He said It would cost about J77.MO the first year to pro vide wagons and gather up the garbage, but thereafter the cost would be about $40,000. to be paid for by general taxation. The united clubs declared In favor of the city collecting all garbage and making provisions therefor. It was decided to hold regular meetings the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, hereafter. Secretary Rlesland re signed, to take effect at the next meeting. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Births. H ANNA At Mllwaukle. November 17, to the wife of Ralph Hanna. a son.

FIXING THE BLAME Inspectors Make Inquiry Into Asuncion-Jones Collision. TESTIMONY IS ALL TAKEN Pilot Turner, of the Asuncion, Stat ed That He Blew One Whistle and Put His Helm to Port Offi cers Corroborate His Story. Local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller conducted an investigation yesterday for the purpose of fixing the blame for the collision between the steamship Asuncion and the river steamer F. B. Jones at Mount Coffin, on the Columbia River Sun day night. Pilot Joseph Turner, of the Asuncion, Captain George E. Brldgett, master of the Asuncion; Captain Walter Russel, of the Jones, and a number of the members of the crew of each craft were examined. The testimony went to show that the Asuncion was slow In an swering her helm but otherwise acted In accordance with all rules of the road and navigation. The examination of witnesses was con cluded at 3 o'clock and the Asuncion was released on bond. Owners of the steamer F. B. Jones libeled the oil-carrier and Captain Bridgett filed a bond for the re lease of the steamer. She will leave down this morning and the matter will be re sumed on her return to Portland.

The Asuncion did not respond as rapidly as she should. He ordered half speed, slow, and then full speed astern. The third assistant engineer of the oil carrier stated that he received orders for half speed, slow, full speed ahead and full speed astern. People familiar with marine telegraph systems know that It is customary to throw the lever clear for ward before passing the order. This Is done to give the engineer an opportunity to regulate his fires. The testimony of .Captain Russell, of the Jones, was conflicting. He made a state ment tout beyond the fact that the Jones blew the first passing signal It was of no Importance. The sailor of the Asun cion who was on lookout, and the quarter master on watch both testified that the pilot gave the proper order (hard aport) after the passing signal was blown. A feature of the Investigation yesterday whs the taking of the testimony in short hand. This greatly facilitated the work. Heretofore tne official clerk of the board took the testimony on a machine. This process made the case drag for several days longer than necessary. The resume of the case will not be ready for publlca- Uon for at least a week. STORMY TRIP TJP THE COAST Dredge Pacific Reaches Grays Har bor in Leaking Condition. ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 26. (Spe cial.) A large fleet which has been held at Westport by the terrific wind and sea the past few days got away today. The steamer Chehalls went to Hoqulam this morning to load what Is needed to com plete her cargo. The dredge Pacific, which was towed here from San Pedro, Is in drydock for repairs. Of the trip up the coast in tow of the Chehalls, Chief Engineer O'Hare, of the Pacific, says: "I have been going to sea for 21 years and this trip with the Pacific Is the worst I ever experienced. I had below only 11 men, not one of them ever hav ing made a sea trip before. We broke loose from the Chehalls the first time down south of Monterey and the second time at this bar. "Had I not taken precaution to have stenni up at the time we struck the bar here, we would have gone to pieces, for It would have been Impossible to have picked up the dredge. As it wTas, we came in under our own steam and were not picked up until we were two miles inside the harbor. The dredge leaked fearfully all the way up the coast, and frequently I was drenched while standing In the engine-room by water which shot In through the crevices as the ship heaved." SPECIFICATION'S ON HAND Bids Will Be Asked for the Con struction of a Dredge. Specifications for the construction of a dredge for use In the harbors on the Oregon and Washington Coasts, have been received at the office of the United States Engineers. Bids will he asked for this week. The specifications and bids are In accordance with the appropriation of the last rivers and harbors bill and will utilize the $100,000 appropriated at that time. The dredge will be about 130 feet long and 30 feet beam. She will have an 18 inoh hydraulic suction and will be built on the general plan of the dredge Port land, of the Port of Portland. The latter craft has a 20-inch suction. It Is the In tention of the engineers to have a craft which can be towed from port to port on the coast between Flattery and Coos Bay. Concert for Sailors Tonight. Sailors' chanties, sung by crews from various ships in the harbor, will be the feature of the weekly conoert for sail- ors to be given at the Seamen's Insti tute tonight.

Miss Madeline Bernays. Elder Arrives From South. The steamer George W. Elder ar rived yesterday morning from San Pe dro, San Francisco and Eureka with half a hundred passengers and a large cargo. The voyage was a rough one and the Elder felt the full effects of the three days' gale off the Oregon coast. The decks were frequently washed by mountainous seas, and passengers re mained below. The officers report a lonesome time at meals. Captain Jes sen says the weather was foggy oft Eureka and he did not see a sail be tween that point and the mouth of the Columbia River, nor were any steamers In evidence. This Indicates that ves sels kept well to sea while the gale prevailed. Heavy Grain Shipments. Movement of grain from Inland Em pire wheat fields to Portland Is now the heaviest in the history of the port. It is expected that there will be a still greater movement next week, and thence until the bulk of the crop has been placed aboard ship. General Manager O'Brien, of the Harrlman lines In Oregon, declares he will not be sat isfied until from 90 to 100 cars a day are delivered at tidewater. Wheat ship ments foreign for the month are ex pected to break the record. Four more cargoes will be cleared before the end of the week. Sailors Union Opposes Ship Subsidy D. W. Paul, business agent of the Portland Sailors' Union, departed yes terday for Chicago to attend the Na tional convention of the union, which is to begin December 10. It Is ex pected that the sailors will go on record In opposition to the proposed ship subsidy bill, on the ground that Government aid in- operating steamers would mean the employment of Ori ental seamen to the exclusion of Amer icans. An eight-hour day for sailors will also bo discussed. Officers Are Not to Blame. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 25. The local Board of Steamboat Inspectors handed down Its decision yesterday in the case of the burning of the steam schooner Berkeley off Point Conception, on the morning of November 14, exonerating Captain A. B. Higgins, her master, and all his officers, from any charge of neg ligence. The vessel was valued at ST5.000. Inspecting Celilo Canal. Colonel S. W.
