Fisher maintained that was accredited
exclusively to I'hina and for that reason
was unable to recognize .any other au

PUPILS DEFY PRINCIPAL
t'lHmlcdlne Dance In High School
Followed by Revolt.
ANACONDA. Mont., April 10. High
School students took possession of the
school buflding last night and held a
dance. How they gained admission tJ
the room is unknown at present, but a
thorough Investigation is to be made
and the guilty parties punished. It was
not deemed advisable to turn on the
electric lights, and as an extra precau
tion s gainst beingr caught, pickets were
placed about 4'tie building.
Principal Hickson entered the build
ing quietly and turned on the electric
lights. The boys made a rush for the
electric switch, and the room was in
darkness again. Some of the girls and
boys managed to get out of the win
dows on the first floor, while others got
out of the door. Principal Hickson se
cured the hose and turned on the water,
but some of the boys shut the door and
made their escape. Finally the principal
locked the door and went to the outside
of the building, where the crowd, num
bering about 150. shouted and yelled at
the head of the school and dared him
to come out and fight. The crowd dis
persed after refusing to listen to the
principal, who endeavored to make a
speech.

ASSIST NEW WATER LINE
PORTlANI MEN NOT OPPOSING
TILLAMOOK PROJECT.
Chamber of Commerce Has Given
Support to Plan Another Boat,
Say the Members.
Intimation was made in a dispatch
printed yesterday from Tillamook that
the transportation committee of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce Is op
posing the starting of a new boat line
to connect Portland and Tillamook.
Secretary Glltncr said yesterday that
nothing had come before the trustees
of the Chamber on the subject, as all
such matters are referred to the trans
portation committee, and that the com
mittee had not made any report that
made it necessary to bring up this be
fore the Chamber. He added, unof
ficially., that he understood the commit
tee had received a proposal from some
young men to have the merchants of
Portland raise a certain amount to as
sist in purchasing a vessel for the run
from Portland to Tillamook, and that
the secretary of the committee. T. Van
Heckeren. had gone with the promoters
to call upon different merchants and
presented the matter to them. Just
what had been accomplished he was
unable to state.
Mr. Giltner said that the probability
of rail communication with Tillamook
doubtlesa entered Into the discussion of
providing more transportation facilities
As that seemed to be an assured fact
for the near future, it might be that
merchants hesitated to enter into a plan
to put on another boat.
J. N. Teal, attorney for the transporta
tion committee, who had been in the
East for the past few weeks, and who
has been home but about a week, said
there had been no meeting of the com
mittee since his return, so that the as
sertion that the committee is opposing
the new boat line is without foundation
He said that merchants of Portland are
always ready to "Improve transportation
facilities. As to dissatisfaction with the
Elmore, the present vessel, he said, that
is a matter upon which he is not In
formed, but that if additional vessels
were demanded to take care of the trade
owners of vessels would be the first to
see the necessity, and would put on more
steamers.
Mr. Teal said it had come to pass that
every time an enterprise of the kind in
question came up. Portland merchants
were called upon to rurnisn tne neces
sary capital to float them. If delay was
caused for any reason, ne anaea. pro
moters were apt to complain of the lack
of enterprise on the part ot these mer
chants. No arrangement with the own
ers of the Elmore in the way suggested
m the communication from Tillamook
was possible, said Mr. Teat.
Henry Hahn. who is serving the state
as a Juryman, could not be seen yester
day, but telephoned last night that the
committee, of which he Is chairman,
had done everything in reason to en
courage the young men who had brought
the subject to their attention. He gave
them a letter addressed to the merchants
of Portland and had the secretary ac
company them on a tour of the city to
call on all who might be interested in the
project. The report that the committee
Is onDosing the plan of placing addi
tional vessels on the run to Tillamook,
he said, was the height of folly. Mer
chants do not engage in such business as
entering Into agreements with transpor
tation companies in the way charged;
they welcome additional facilities when
ever they are found to be desirable.
LABOR FACTIONS TO UNITE
Organizer Young Working for Har
mony in Trades Council.
Warring factions within the Federated
Trades Council are to be reconciled in
the interest of accomplishing results for
organized labor in Portland. O. C. Toung.
of Olympia. Wash., organizer for the
American Federation of T-abor. is in the
city and will remain some time in an
effort to unify the different elements and
further to strengthen the labor organi
zations of the city.
At Its meeting a week ago, the Trades
council adopted a motion requesting the
withdrawal by each union of its dele
gates to the council and requesting the
election of other representatives with a
view to ' reorganizing the central body
No attempt was made at last night's
meeting to enforce tho previous action
of the council which "probably wilt be
continued as it is organized if Mr. Toung
can infuse the necessary amount of har
mony into the belligerent factions.
