AIMED AT TRAMP SHIPS t Steamers Flying the Japanese Flag Making Inroads on Business of the . Old Established Lines. ws of the Waterfront. Rated on wheat and flour from Pacific Coast ports to Manila have been reduced to 13 & ton, and vessels leaving ports on the Pacific side of the United States will proceed to Manila direct and discharge. This is a reduction of about $1 a ton. Heretofore all the business carried on by foreign steamships went by way of Hongkong, and was transshipped at that point for Manila. The rate has of late been $2 to Hongkong, and the cost of transshipment was about an equal amount. The cause of the reduction' In rates is due to the inroads made on wheat and flour shipments by the vessels operated under the Japanese flag. In order to shut these craft out and also to prevent colliers accompanying the fleet from en gaging in the business of the established lines, rates on wheat and flour were cut in March by all the regular lines operat ing between San Francisco, Portland, Pu get Sound and Oriental ports. No tariff schedule was made for Philippine ports. The recent action of the steamship lines is due to the offers which have been made to shippers for steam tonnage di rect to the Islands. A conrern. operating under the name of the Jensen Steamship Company, has been the most active in slashing rates between Pacific Coast ports and the Orient. It is reported that they have ac cepted flour as low as $1 a ton for de livery In Japan. It Is the Intention of the established lines to force the Jebsen people out of business. CROOK WILL XOT COME HERE Boat for Alaska Must Be Shipped to " San Franclrco by Rail. Efforts that have been made to get the transport Crook to come to Port land to load a knockdown steamer built here for use in Alaska by the Govern ment, are without avail. Oregon's del egation at Washington has had the matter up, but has received no encour agement. Senator Bourne and Repre sentative Hawley have had conferences with the War Department In regard to bringing the. Crook to Portland to take on this steamer, but they have been advised that the steamer will be shipped to Pan Francisco and there put on board the Crook. This is found to be the cheapest way for the Govern ment to handle the shipment, for H will cost less to send theboat down to San Francisco and there put It on board the Crook than to bring the transport up the river to' Portlcnd. This is true because of the fact that by reason of the Southern Pacific land grants, the railroad is compelled to carry the boat as far as Rosevllle Junction, which Is only a short distance from San Francisco, free of freight cnarges. The Crook will leave San Francisco July 3 for Alaska, carrying the Twen-tv-second Infantry to posts in the Far North. The department explained to the Oregon Representatives that this order, which does not permit the Crook to stop here. Is not a discrimination against Portland in any sense, but is in line with the Department's policy of handling such matters with the great est economy. Secretary Giltner, of the Chamber of Commerce, has been con ducting an extensive correspondence with the Oregon delegation on the sub ject.

Because of the fart that the present session Is draw ing to a close, however. Congressman Kills ts dubious that anything In that direction can be accomplished at this session. Walter II.

Bigelow Assaulted While Beating Womart., v FRED WILLIAMS ARRESTED Man Wanted by Police Is Kmtoked Down and Skull Fractured by . IiOdger Who Responds lb W oman's Screams. Through responding to tha screams for help of Mary Kaiser, a. derelict, and striking- W. H. Bigelow, a criminal who was beating the wpman, Fred Williams, a young bridge carpenter employed at St. John, n lay have to face a charge of murd er. Bigelow was knocked down and h is skull frac tured, either by force o7' the blow or in striking the floor, .And his death resulted a few hours lat;er. Ther tragedy occurred at 2:3) o'clock yesterday morning in -the McAllister House, at Third and I landers streets. Bigelow, a thief who was being earn estly sought by the Tolice, had taken shelter in the Kaiser woman's room. After midnight they got to quarreling. Both had been drink'ng heavily. About 2 o'clock the woman began screaming for he.li. Williams, who was spending the Bight, in the place, having missed the Iast car to St. John, responded to the ,crles. He says he found Bigolow b fating- the drunken woman, but as - aioon as he entered Bigelow desisted and rushed at him. He admits he strinck Bigelow and that Bigelow fell to the floor. The lodgers were aroused by the disturbance an. I began rushing into the room. Will lams left before the ar rival of others, 'and the Kaiser woman was found lea nlng over Bigelow, who lay unconscioi is. The police were noti fied and two officers. Tenant and Hunter, reached the place Just as Williams wa-s leaving. "That's Uifc man -you- are after, someone shouted and Tenant stopped Williams at the point of a revolver, the young man showing no inclination to pause u ntil the revolver vas drawn. Bigelow .was taken at once to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where it was foun fl his skull had been frac tured, died at 6 o'-clock, three hours after being taken to the hos pital. Cfty Physician Zlegler, on mak ing an examination, said the fatal blow might have been inflicted either through"", a fall to the floor or through being e truck in the head. The -woman In the case, a Police Court habitue, was taken to the City Jail in company with Williams, where they- -were locked up on tentative charg.es. The woman was found to be on trie verge of delirium tremens, fol lowing a drinking bout of several days'" duration, and hc-r varied and dis connected versions of the affair were not intelligible. Bigelow was being hunted for by Detectives Jones and TIchenor at the tlnie of his death and but for that fact hiF identity might never have been es tablished. He was registered at the ronming-house as W. H. Nosoy, and thfis was taken to be his name until yesterday afternoon, when Detectives IWchenor and Jones, who were as rigned to the murder case, learned that the victim and the man they had Ibeen hunting for on larceny charges was one and the same. The body is at the Finley undertaking establish ment .and an Inquest will likely be held today by Coroner Finley. Bigelow has been in the city for several months. He was partial to employment In ilvery stables. He stole horses and rigs from two livery stables In the city recently and would have been sent to the penitentiary, the officers say. had he been found. GERMAN VIEW OF LIBERTY Gives Reasons Against Prohibition and Sunday-Closing Lauy PORTLAND. May 28. (To the Editor.) Why are Germans opposed to prohibition and Sunday-closing laws? The Germans, from time immemorial, have used beer and . wine as a common beverage and have become one of the best developed nations of the world, physically as well as mentally. Now comes a handfull of fanatical demagogues and want to com pel all of us, by force, to stop the use of healthful and Invigorating beverages. In Germany a whisky-soaked toper Is a rarity and an exception, despised and shunned by all. They call him a "Schnappsbruder," and he' is pointed out to tbe young as an example of depravity and as one of the lowest species of humanity. If a German here has acquired the habit of using distilled liquors to excess, he, nine time out of ten. has learned it from English-speaking aseaclates. It is not dis graceful In Germany for anyone on a Sun day after -church hours, to visit a public place or garden, along with friends or his wife and children and partake of refresh ments, white listening to beautiful strains of music, for he is a lover of art as well as of nature. He does not regard this as wrong, for If It was so to nlm. he would not take hla wife and children or even his sweetheart. If he prays, he thanks God that he still has the privilege to enjoy life unhampered by restrictions, imposed by a fanatical and ignorant set. who, knowing Urn own -weakness and moral Inability to ue healthful beverages like beer and light wine, admit their moral poverty. They want to go "the whole bog or none. When I left Germany. 60 years ago. they had no barrooms uch as we have here now. In public places were no long bars. There was only a little counter in a corner of the hall or room occupied by a clerk or cashier, and drinks and food were distributed by waiters on a number of tables In the room. The business man, mechanic and laboring man, sometimes in the company of their families occupied, thoee tab-H-s and each one paid for what refreshments he had taken. There vaa no standing up at a long bar to guule down a mixture of whisky, wine or beer and to treat and be treated until one were fit to drop or the last penny gone. Public places In Germany were conducted In an orderly manner. Women and children could go there and woe to the man- that dared to Insult any of them. In the most of German states, public places, Sundays, are closed only for a few hours In the fore noon so that everybody who chooses -can go to church which they do, or if they don't nobody cares. , That is wny the German citixens of this country oppose prohibition and Sunday 'closing laws. They demand recognition of their rights and privileges in this would-be freest country of the world. Have not Germans a right to ask this privilege? Have they not been here ever since the white man set foot upon this conttnsnt? Have they not helped to develop its resources and civilise the country? Have they not -helped to fight its wars? Have they not fostered and promoted art . and science? They have, by the introduction of light beer and light wines, done more for the cause of temperance than all the arguments of total abstainers combined. The Germans will oppose, to the bitter end. all endeavors to put them back Into mental slavery and a Puritanical etra.lt Jacket, br means of laws which are infringing on personal lib erty. Any falrmlnded. unprejudiced American of Intelligence, who has had the fortune to travel in Germany will bear out the truth of my statement. I am for personal and mental liberty. ED ALiSKT.

Since Its discovery one year ago. the new drug-, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing- skin af- rnctior.s. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a month's treatment. This was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, nerpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching- feet, piles, etc., which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcome tbis, and -in re sponse to urgent appeals, the dispens ers of poslam have been obliged to adopt. In addition to the regular two dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, -which in future may be found on sale at the Skid more Drug Co. and other leading drug stores in Portland, or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Street. New York City. In all eczema, cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immediately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles, results are seen after an over night application.

Visitors to the Catholic street fair and carnivaf at Williams avenue and Morris street were tendered a musical treat last night when the choirs of the several Roman Catholic churches of Portland rendered a grand sacred con cert in the auditorium of the club house. Professor Frederick Goodrich acted as conductor, and many of the selections from the most famous com posers were given. The concert was a most pleasing as well as instructive affair, and those who failed to attend miesed a decided treat. William West again contributed his daring exhibition of horsemanship, and the thrilling" manner In which Jje rode the wildest horses of the plains proved extremely Interesting to the large num ber of carnival patrons who witnessed his feats. The other shows. Including the newly added attraction in the shape of a Filipino village, received -splendid patronage. Tonight will be the last night of the voting contest. The winners in this event will be ma'de known as aoon as the count can be completed. The carnival will close its doors Sat urday night. The announcement is made that the doors will be .thrown open to the public at 3 o'clock tomor row afternoon for the purpose of ac commodating those who desire to visit it in the afternoon.

PROHIBITION and booze paraded the streets in the same line of march yesterday. When the little column of prohibition banner carriers who have been parading the -city for weeks past, set out at an early hour, they found a small squad of the enemy watting for them. The enemy, equipped with a few flippant banners, sought tb offset the epigrammatic mottoes of the temperance forces. Headed by two old men. one with a bass drum and the other with a squeaky fife, the prohibition procession wormed up one Btreet and' down another all day long. But the prohibitionists could not jose their rear guard. No matter where they went, the disciples of rum followed. There was no way of losing the ob jectionable tail-piece. The saloon interests did not attempt to put forth serious arguments In their own behalf. Those paying for the saloon ban ners confined themselves to mild sarcasm, plainly hoping that their inscriptions would serve as an anti-climax to the pro cession and thus offset the effects of the temperance banners. The result of this was various' in its effect on the public. Many were prompted to laughter, others to disgust. "That's about all the Demon rum can do for Itself these days," said the prohibition ists. "They haven't any arguments that will hold water any longer so they Just have to jeer In the hopes of holding a few of their Irresponsible and unthinking adherents In line." The cause of the dissension lies on the East Side of the river, where the local option war is being waged in nearly every district. Prohibition sentiment over there Is admitted to be strong and those who claim to know say that all these districts will go dry and that rum will then be on the run in Multnomah County, if not the entire state. For some weeks past the prohibition banners have been appearing on the street and they have made quite an Im pression on many voters. At first saloon keepers were not Inclined to take the temperance banners seriously, but within the last few days it was decided some thing must be done and it was done yesterday. "Take Peruna It's fine." was one of the Barcastic saloon inscriptions. It was supposed to imply that liquor Is con tained in patent medicine and that aboli tion of saloons will mean sale of booze In medicine guises. "Hush little barroom Don't you cry.- You'll be a drugstore Bye and fcye." That was a second slogan and the one which attracted the most attention. It was carried by a husky youth with a thirsty stare in his eye and a tendency to blare out at the crowds that "we'll fix em." "Booze on the run. Illinois closed MOO saloons In one election." was the prohi bition vanguard. "East Side business men who neip aoonsn tne saloon de serve your patronage. Trade with them," came second. Others in the line were as follows: "The man who pays cash for booze buys shoes and groceries on time. The grpcer can wait." "One thousand arrests in Portland every month and more than one-half of them for drunkenness. Give us more booze." "The saloon is the laboring man friend. Also his bank." "The saloons are after your boy and girl. Without them they would aoon quit busi ness. Which will you vote for?" "To make a town prosperous make every boy a drunkard. Anything to sell more booze."
