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

BLOW KILLS THIEF

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.

troubles, such as pimples, blackheads,
nerpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion

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

his feats. The other shows. Including
the newly added attraction in the shape
of a Filipino village, received -splendid
patronage.

rRANK J. REGG, producer of hero

dramatic company that produced "Why

Theater, Is cast for a tragic role In real
life. Before he gets through with it
he Is likely to undergo all the trials
and tribulations of the stage hero, for
he is in the toils on a charge of de
frauding a relentless Innkeeper.
The Oregon Hotel is the complainant.
It charges Regg with haying departed
from that hostelry without the polite
formality of saying goodbye to the
clerk.. The clerk had a little pletsartry
all framed up about a trifle of $35
that was owing, and he felt much ag
grieved when tbe star left without call

The charge of ' defrauding an Inn
keeper was lodged against the eminent

of mystery regarding Regg s where

and is now awaiting trial before Judge

SALOON FORCES AND "ANTIS" IN
PARADE ON EAST SIDE STREETS
riippant Banners of LiQUor Men Seek to Oast Ridicule on Prohibitionists
in Hot Local-Option Campaign.
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."
