STEVENS FIRST ON LIST Colonel Roessler Makes Preliminary Examination of Fortifications and Consults With Officers at Stevens, Columbia, Canby. Colonel S W. Hoessler, United States Engineers, has returned from an official visit to the posts at the mouth of the Co lumbia River. Oolonel Roessler was in conference with Major Bartlett and a number of artillery officers and Forts Stevens, Columbia and Canby were visited. The object of the visit of the artillery and engineer officers was to make a pre liminary investigation of the ground In advance of the formulation of plans for the Installation of a system of fire control for each of the three forts which guard the entrance to the Columbia River. The first plant will be Installed at Fort Stevens. Fort Canby will be equipped next and the guns at Fort Columbia will receive attention last. Fire control apparatus consists of a series of telegraph signals by which the lire of all batteries and the fire of each em In a battery may be directed by the battle commander. Each battery will have a commander who will be stationed in a central tower and In turn this tower will be connected with the observatory occupied by the battle commander. In this manner the fire of each gun may be controlled by the officer In charge of the fort. Colonel Roessler expects to start for the East about the middle of July. His departure will depend largely on the ar rival from New Orleans of Major James Mclndee, who will succeed Colonel Roes aler to the command of the Northwest tatlon. In connection with the establishment of the fire-control apparatus at the forts at the mouth of the river. Captain Davis, of the artillery branch of the Service, has been making a study of the different posts with a view to establishing a num ber of searchlights. Captain Davis is an expert In this particular line and has lately arrived from the East. He will conduct a number of experiments from all Government stations.

V Republican County Committee Holds Political Rally and Speakers Urge Merlts'of Candidates. The grand ball given by the women in honor of the Catholic Order of Foresters at the Catholic Toung Men's street fair and carnival last night, was by long odds the most successful affair of the celebra tion. The spacious hall of the Toung Men'B Club was crowded to the doors with dancers and spectators. .The strains from the orchestra, led by Mrs. Role Wein berger, were especially enticing, and all who participated enjoyed the dancing. The big crowd failing to gain access to the dance floor, sought amusement in the many attractive booths and sideshows, where all were entertained most delight fully. As usual, the children were taken to sea the dog and monkey show and the other laughing freak shows as well. Many nocked to the country store where. If they were lucky enough, received some val uable article for the munificent sum of 10 cents. Others, who were known to Andy Weinberger, the proprietor, as anxious customers, were not so lucky, and the re sult was a material decrease in the stock of soap cakes, which he dispenses with so lavish a hand. During the evening the Republican County Central Committee held a grand rally at the carnival, and many of the visitors thronged the vicinity of the speak ers' stand to hear the addresses of Dan J. Malarky, John P. Kavanaugh and Wal demar Seton. each 6f whom spoke in the Interest of the Republican nominees and urged the voters to mark their ballots for the straight Republican ticket from top to bottom. DIES AT THE THROTTLE St. Paul Engineer Leaves Fast Mail to Run Wild. CHICAGO, May 27. The Overland Limited, fastest train of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Road system, ran Monday night at full speed for nearly 60 miles an hour over inter locking: sr ltches and past "signals near Byron, ILL, with Engineer Albert Gau vin lying dead on the cab floor and. no controlling hand on the throttle. The train, with a hundred passengers aboard, narrowly missed a smashup. Officials of the railroad yesterday heard the story as told by Fireman Michael Nksh. It proved a frightful tragedy had been averted as by a miracle. The train left Chicago on the jour ney to San Francisco with Gauvln at the throttle, in apparently good health. Near Davis Junction, at Byron, where the train slows down to cross the right of way of another road. Fire man Nash noticed that the train was flying across switches and tracks at top speed, unmindful of adverse set signals. Just as the limited cleared the tracks of the other road, a heavy train thun dered across on the rear. Nash leaped back into the,- engine cab and discov ered Gauvin s body lying on the floor. The train was stopped and help called. An examination showed the engineer was dead as the result of hemorrhage of the brain. After some delay, an other engineer was obtained and the train proceeded. Gauvin had been in the service of the road about 25 years. Acquits Alleged Boodler. ST. LOUIS, May 27. A verdict of ac quittal has been returned in the case of Fred W.

Governor Chamberlain has something to say to you tonight at the Empire Theater. ROAD ASSUMES RISK ON FREIGHT After July 2,0. R.&N. Will Pay for Any Damage to Goods in Transit. EXTRA CHARGE ELIMINATED Under Present Practice the Shipper Must Stand Loss or Pay 20 Per Cent Freight Rates Additional. Important changes in ' the relations between shipper and carrier will be made by the O. R. & N. Company, after July 2. The present shipper's liability will be done away with and the rail road , will assume responsibility for loss and damage to goods in transit. Furthermore, the 20 per cent now added to freeejiit rates when goods are carried at carrier's risk will be waived. The change Is doubly important be cause of-, the fact that the O. R. & N. is one of the flrst railroads in the country, if not the very first, to amend its tariffs in this direction. Some Eastern lines have been considering the matter and it is likely they will take a similar position. In fact, traf fic men say that it is quite likely that all lines in the country will eventually adopt the same policy. The trans Continental Freight Bureau, now In session in Chicago, will consider this subject before adjournment. The step just announced by the O. R. & N. traffiic department 1s consid ered a big Advance in the policy of railroads of the country toward ship pers. At present, if a like service Is to be performed by the railways, 20 per cent is added to the freight rate In each case. Shippers' have the op tion, of either paying this amount for the carriers' assuming all the liability of loss or damage, save that due to the act of God or the public enemy, or of shipping the goods at their own risk. Under the proposed arrangement the railroads will handle freight shipments, subject only to the common law or statutory liability, which provides for all loss, breakage or damage in transit, save that caused by some calamity utterly- beyond the power of the railroad company to prevent. Wipes Ont Penalty Charge. "This plan, In effect, wipes out the penalty charge of 20. per cent on ship ments not forwarded at owner's risk." said W. D. Skinner, assistant general freight agent for the Harriman lines. "The amendment to our tariffs Is now being published and will change our local O. R. & N. tariffs, including-dis-tributive tariffs from Portland. Ar rangements have been made with some of our connecting lines for transconti nental business and additional trans continental roadB will will co-operate with us, no doubt, as further arrange ments .are made, when additional amendments to the tariffs will be pub lished. "At the present time, the Western classification and tariffs generally pro vide that the rates shall be subject to the shipper assuming the risk of carriage, except for loss or damage resulting proximately from the car rier's negligence. The shipper at pres ent has the option of accepting these rates and assuming the risk of car riage or of forwarding goods subject to the common law or statutory lia bility of the carrier, but in the latter case, he is required to pay an addition of 20 per cent to the freight rate. "The matter has been up before the Interstate Commerce Commission in connection with Section 20 of the In terstate Commerce act, which provides that the Initial carrier shall give the shipper a bill of lading or receipt for his goods, which shall show the lia bility of the carrier for damage to the freight In transit. The question arose as to the liability of the Initial line for loss during the whole Journey, or while on the initial line. It was de cided that the initial line should pay claims for loss or damage and collect in turn from the line upon whose rails the damage occurred." Great Change From Old Conditions The Western classification, however, has so many exceptions whereby dam age may occur and the railroads still be not liable that the new rule will be a marked change over old condi tions. There are dozens of exceptions noted in Rule 4 In the classification, which is canceled by the O. R. & N. in the amendment just announced so far as the O. R. & N. lines are concerned. Among other ' provisions whereby a carrier .could not be held liable for damage to goods in transit by Rule 4, is the "escape of live fish." Fire, riots, strikes, breakage, leakage, and any number of other loopholes are ottered. Under the present system, the bur den of proof is against the shipper to show when and where his goods were damaged and how the railroad com-, pany was negligent, in order to collect damages for his freight. In future. If the goods are not laid down at destina tion in as good condition as when they were accepted for shipment by the railroad, the latter will have to give a sufficient explanation to escape pay ing penalties for negligence. The new rule will eliminate the con tract element between the railroads and the shippers. The common law or stat utory liability makes the carrier re sposible for all harm or loss to freight In transit, save that inflicted through an act of God or the public enemy. FEE PLEASED WITH BUILDING Railroadman Highly Compliments Portland Commercial Club. Charles S. Fee, passenger traffic man ager of the Southern Pacific Company, spent yesterday in the cfTy In consulta tion with local traffic officials of the Harriman lines. He Is on his way to Chicago, where he will attend the meet ing of the Transcontinental Passenger Association. WThile In the city, he .spent more than an hour In looking over the new quarters of the Commercial Club and expressed himself as very much pleased with the new home of the organi sation. Mr. Fee particularly admired the big dining-room, mam parlor and billiard room. While looking over the bllliard room, with its 13 tables, he said: "If more men would engage In this kind of exercise, and fewer of them would get into close rooms for a little game on the quiet.' it would do a whole lot of good. "Portland has shown a wonderful en terprise," continued Mr. Fee, "In the erection of this extraordinarily con venient and commodious club. The Fort land Commercial Club is especially strong in the fact that it is a great, big, demo cratic body, that its large membership of between 1250 and 1900 embraces the beBt there Is in the city in all callings. "The 'club Is equipped as no other or ganization on the Pacific Coast or in the entire country for that matter, for the entertainment of -large conventions and visiting delegations, and it will certain ly do Portland and the Northwest an endless amount of good. "I don't blame the business men of Portland for being proud of this great club, for it is really a great organisa tion. Its daily luncheon is the most im portant gathering on the Pacific Coast. I like the Idea of a special parlor and special dining-room for the ladies. The architect and the building committee, as well as the decorators all deserve no end of praise, but of course the chief praise Is due --to the active workers among your board of governors and executive committee who have made possible such a body as this. The balcony on the eighth floor gives & splendid view of the city and the hills, but then everything about the club shows that a vast amount of thought was given its arrangements, for with all its elegance its splendid common-sense conveniences in every de partment especially appeal to me. congratulate Portland most heartily on this great piece of enterprise." WORK BEGUN OS NEW DOCKS North Bank Railroad Puts Crew at Work Clearing: Site. That the Hill people mean business in erecting mammoth wheat dooks on their waterfront, in North Portland, was shown yesterday by putting crews of workmen to clearing away the debris that covers the ground. The land Is the site of the old Weidler mill property and is an ideal location for the use proposed to be made of it by the new North Bank Road. The property 1b cumbered with old tlm ber7 burned piling and other rubbish, left when the Weidler mill burned down some time ago, and the men are now at work clearing this away and burning it. Engineers are busy making soundings off the tract and fixing the location of the piling. Materials- for the dock ere be ing collected and work of construction will be started within- the next few days. The wheat docks will be the best ever built in Portland harbor. They will have 1000 feet frontage on the harbor line, where they will be accessible to grain ships or steamers of any draft. Every facility for the prompt loading and un loading of vessels will be arranged. It Is expected to have the structure com pleted by August, when the new Hill line will be running trains into the city. E LAMPBLACK WILIj BE RE QUIRED IN SIDEWALKS. Dr. Victoria Hampton Wins Fight for Retention of Law That Will Protect the Eyesight. A plea presented by Councilman Vaughn on behalf of the ordinance re cently passed requiring that contractors be compelled to place lampblack in all sidewalk cement saved the ordinance at the Council meeting yesterday, although opposed to It was the majority report of the street committee. Certain property-owners took exception to the lampblack in the cement, taking the stand that it gave the sidewalks of the city a blotched appearance. Against this argument was a petition signed by I 28 prominent physicians, including the oesx-anown eye specialists in the city, acknowledging that , - the white cement on bright days was dan gerous to the eyesight. This peti tion was presented by Dr. Victoria Hampton, who has been the staunch ad vocate of the ordinance. She was backed up on the floor of the Council chamber in her argument by Dr. George Rogers. Mr. Vaughn was the only member of the street committee who favored sus taining the ordinance. During Mr. Vaughn's argument Coun cilman Concannon, declared that physi cians were many times mistaken In tleir findings. He said: "They make mistakes and sign things without knowing it. Just the same as you and I do, Mr. Vaughn.'l "You may sign things and do things' without knowing anything about it, but I don't." hurled back Mr. Vaughn, at which there was a general uproar. Mr. Vaughn took occasion to score Councilman Cottel for his stand on the question, whereupon the latter arose and suggested that It would be Just as plausible if a petition were sen to. heaven, requesting that the snow be changed to some other color, on the ground that it is too bright on the eyes. City Engineer Taylor was called upon to make known the effect of the addition of lampblack to sidewalk cement, as to Increasing or decreasing the strength of the walk. He said he believed that the lampblack slightly weakened the walk. The ordinance was sustained by the Council by a vote of S to 5. Denver Convention "Dry." DENVER, May 27.

FEW LECTION BETS MADE OHm $1000 WAGER IS PIACED OX SENATOR. Cameron Men Begin to Take Up Man - ning Money Stevens Backers May Offer Odds. ' It was not until yesterday that betting on the outcome of the June election was In evidence. Tues&ay night at the Per kins Hotel the first big bet on the elec tion was made, when a man from Klamath Falls, who thinks that Gov ernor Chamberlain will defeat H. M. Cake, wagered $1000 with a taker who lives six miles out of Irrlgon. McComas, the Klamath Falls man, started talking about Chamberlain's popularity in his district and effered to bet $1000 that the Governor would be elected to the United States Senate. A man giving the name of Parkland, who said that he lived near Irrigon, joined in the conversation and the wager followed. For days past there has been a great deal of Manning money on the market, but It was not until yesterday that the Cameron men came to the front. The udden appearance of $500 on Cameron startled the sportsmen who are ready to take a chance when election time rolls around, and for several hours, around the cigar stores where wagers are made, there was a genuine flurry. The first bet made on Cameron was at, George Cad well's, where, for days, $150 of Manning's money -had gone begging. At Schiller's there was only $25. This was taken and $100 on Cameron was left.

The wise election betters are waiting until the tag end of the campaign be fore they send in their money. So far there is an absence of Word money. The people who are satisfied that Sheriff Stevens will succeed himself are get ting ready to offer 2 to 1 that Stevens will beat the ex-Democratic Sheriff. There is also a flood of Chamberlain money on the market. One man. whether he Is in earnest or not remains to be seen when there is Cake money In sight, says that he Is willing to bet any part of $5000 that the Governor will be the next United States Senator from Oregon.
