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.

AT CATHOLIC FAIR
BAMi IN HONOR OF FORESTERS
FEATURE OF EVENING.
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. Priesmeyer. member of the
House of Delegates, who was indicted on
a charge of bribery. This was the second
trial of Priesmeyer, the jury in the
former trial having disagreed.

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.

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

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.

' It was not until yesterday that betting

J375 wagered on Cameron against Man
ning. 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. On the Cake-Chamberlain bat
tle so far there has been very little bet
ting. As a very close count Is looked
for, there will not be any part of the
money that was wagered on the Lane
Devlin election.
