TELLS WHY FLEET
TC0I1E
President Hodsoni of Commer
cial Club, Gives Washing
ton's Viewpoint.
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."

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.

Bleeping, Wickersham found it would
not be possible to retreat by the door.
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

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

The
White Indian
A white Indian is a sick Indian.
When the Indians first saw a
white man they were sure he
was sick. White skin sick man
was their argument. "Pale
face" b the name they gave us.
Pale faces can be cured. When
blood is properly fed the face
glows with health.
Scott's Emulsion
is a rich blood food. It gives new
power to the bone marrow from
which the red blood springs.
