DANGER TO BATTLESHIPS Roosevelt and MeteaH Did All They Conld to Let Portland. See Ar mada niscuss Finance and Industrials. President C.f W. Hodson. of tile Port land Commercial Club, returns from Washington thoroughly convinced that Secretary Metcalf acted wisely when he refused to order the Krpat American Ar mada to visit Portland. Knowing the entire situation as he now says he does after -his trip to the National capital. Mr. Hodson declares lie would have pursued no other course himself, that no other course was open, and he submits evi dence to bear out his statements, evi dence which is already in the hands of the Commercial dub in the form of sta tistics of the actual draft of the ships in the battleship fleet. Perhaps the most remarkable opinion expressed by Mr. Hodson as the result of his several busy days tn Washington working In the interest of Portland's re quest for a visit of the fleet, was that Victor Metcalf. Secretary of the Navy De partment, is not personally or officially hostile to Portland, and that Metcalf went far, far out of 'his way to deter mine whether or not it would be safe to send the great fleet up to Portland. President Roosevelt greatly desired that the battleships should visit Portland, and that they should remain here as long as would be consistent with the official itin erary. Roosevelt Takes a Hand. "The. President assured me," said Mr. Hodson, last night, "that he was ex tremely anxious that the entire fleet should visit Portland. In an interview he informed me that he had sent for Admiral Bvans before the Armada set sail from Hampton Roads last Winter, and specifically directed Kvans to take the fleet up the Columbia to Portland, and Evans told the President that he would do It. That was before the commanding of ficers of the various warships had any statistics as -to the cruising draft of the different vessels of tile fleet. There is no doubt but that at that time the Navy Department had become convinced that the bar and river were of sufficient dHth to carry merchantmen of or even 28 foot draft. It was soon found, after the reports from the commanders of the dif ferent warships were received at Wash ington, that there is considerable differ ence between the mean draft of a warship and the cruising draft of the same vessel, and, to make a long story short, the ac tual figures show, as prepared by Sec retary Metcalf and bas-d upon the rec ords of the commanding officers of the ships in the fleet, that only three of the 16 battleships could with safety be taken in over the bar and brought up the river. "This is a situation that we must facr sooner or later and we might as well do it now. When President Roose velt instructed Admiral Evans to come up to Portland on the great worhl enclrcting trip. Evans felt sure that he could do it with safety, but he and Secretary Metcalf went a good ways out of their way to prepare statistics. In view of President Roosevelt's inter est In the matter, showing that such a side trip would be fraught with dan ger. ' Metcalf Xot an Kneniy. "I am thoroughly convinced from the taiks I had with Secretary Metcalf that the impression that lie is. Inimical to everything that smacks of Portland or Oregon is entirely without founda tion. I neither heard nor saw anything while 1 .v-as there to Indicate that he had anything but the best of feeling toward Portland and I believe he re gretted it very much that' he was obliged to follow the advice mt Ad miral Evans and not dispatch the great battleship fleet up the river." Mr. Hodson Is disgusted with the way the trial of Hyde and Benson is being conducted In the District of Co lumbia. ' He vent to Washington to be a witness in this long-drawn-out land fraud case, and, while he was on the stand, less than 20 minutes, his trip took him three weeks and he was actually out over ft0 in actual living expenses., t Witnesses Fared Badly. "The Government supplied its wit nesses." said Mr. Hodson, "with round- mUBBXBH WILL trip ticket! Mid allowed S a day for meals and Pullmans en route both ways. and also the magnificent sum of $1.25 n day for expenses while in Washington. It was no uncommon thing for some of the witnesses, while I was there, to borrow money enough from the United States Marshal to pay for meals and lodging." "Things look bad. very bad in the East yet. It was a frightful blow that was struck last Fall, sq far as the East and Middle West is concerned. They suffered vastly more than the Pacific Coast did. I was astonished beyond measure to gaze out of the car windows and see miles and miles of empty freight cars lying Idle on the side-tracks, with hundreds of idle engines doing nothing and witli smoke-stacks covered with boards or can vas. The great industries In that part of the country seem still to be paralyzed and It will take a long time for the Kast to recover fully from the shock of last October "Yet there is any quantity of money in this country. Wall street is loaded down with It- The most significant thing 1 ob served while in the East was what hap pened to the $ao.00.000 loan floated by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Of this amount J20.000.000 was alloted to London and Con tinental money centers and $10,000,000 to the New York money market. The rate was 4 per cent. Within one hour after the call had been made "Europe had sub cribed $40,000,000 against the $31,000,000 available, and the I'ntted States had sub scribed more than $100,000,000 against the $10,000,000. Does that look as If there was a lack of money In this country'? In addi tion. I was informed by financiers, and I noticed It in the local papers back there, that call money was going begging at 1 per cent. In New York alone the banks today are carrvimr over $160.00.000 of reserve In excess of trie amount stipu lated and required by the Treasury De partment. At the same time there is the most remarkable inactivity in the indus trial world. Iearned a Bitter Lesson. The lesson of last Fall has sunk deeply Into the hearts of the captains of indus try and money Is not leaving Wall street any faster than the actual business de mands require. Every move is a cau tious one and It will be some time before there will be anything like a return to the prosperous conditions which pre vailed before the stringency." .Mr. Hodson had nothing to say about the recent primary election in Oregon. That is, he had nothing to say for publi cation. He took his own defeat most philosophically. Intimating that he had seen the hand-writing on the wall even before he left for Washington in re sponse to the Government's subpena. , "No. It is too soon for me to discuss the situation from any standpoint." he declared. "I 'dtdn know what the re sults were until last Thursday, and haven't had the time nor opportunity to analyze them as yet." He refused point blank to discuss the Senatorial situation, but intimated that he would prepare a statement for publi cation in the near future. "Now, as to this battleship matter." concluded Mr. Hodson, "I should like to add Just one thing more. We are going to have with us a flrst-class cruiser, the Oharleston. the gunboat Yorktown. and five torpedo boats and torpedo-boat de stroyers during the Kose Festival. Iet us all pitch in and treat them right. To send an insulting or even resentful mes age to the Navy Department because of tlie apparent slight I don't believe would accomplish any good and might work Inestimable harm to our interests. I say, if we can't have what we want, let's take what we can get and make the most of it. It' would be infinitely better to do that than to havehe battleships come up here and go aground on the way. That would be a blow that Portland would not recover from in years." FATHER RESCUES CHILDREN SXATCHKS THEM FROM FLAMES AS HOME BURNS. Knocks Out Window and Phssos Out Baby, TIiciJ Climbs Out Himself. C. O. Wickersham. 1115 Sherman street, saved his two little children from death in their burning homo at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning:. Plung ing into 'the house while it was wrapped In flames, he got the children out, at the risk of his own life. He was pain fully burned about the arms, but not severely. One child was three years old and the other six months. The house, a temporary affair, which the Wickershams were occupying while building their home, caught fire while the father was working out In the yard. The mother was preparing breakfast and the children were asleep in the house. -Explosion of an airtight stove in the living room is thought to have started the fire. Mrs. Wickersham entered the living and sleeping room to find the furnish In gs and floor ablaze. She called her husband, who got into the house to find the interior almost a furnace. Rushing inside he got the oldest baby out safely. On returning for the infant he had to hold a piece of carpet over his face and Srope his way.

He made for a window, which, fortu nately, was knocked out by James Burt, a neighbor, who had been attracted by the fire. The father passed the rescued infant out to Burt and then climbed out himself. An alarm of fire had in the meantime been sent in and Engine Company No. 9 responded, but arrived too late to be of service. The small frame structure burned rapidly. All the Wickershams' effects were consumed, even to their clothing. Rev. T. B. Ford, pastor of the Bunny side Methodist Church, at once started a subscription fund to carry the Wick ershams over their temporary distress. Having lost everything, and with no Insurance, they were left In a bad way for the time being. The loss of their furniture, including a piano, amounts to about JIOOI Kills Man First Trip. CHICAGO.
