18 THE MORNJXG OR EG ONI AX, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1908. G0LS1R0ESSLER GOES TO NEWYORK Takes Up the Work of General Marshall on Fortifications and Harbor. STATION OF IMPORTANCE Officer Who Has Had Charge of Pacific Northwest Station Hon ored by New Chief of Engi neers Mclndoe Arrives. Colonel S. W. Roessler, United States Engineers, has received telegraphic or ders from Chief of Engineers Marshall to proceed from Portland to New York City. Colonel Roessler will take charge of the fortifications at that place and will also look after the har bor improvement work which is being carried on by the Government. The station is the most important in the United States and is the one vacated by General Marshall on his appointment to'be chief of the Engineer Corps Colonel Roessler will leave for the East Sunday and will go by the way of the Canadian Pacific Railway. His annual report for the fiscal year end ing June 30 will be ready today and he will then turn over the office to liis sucessor, Major Mclndoe. Jn his report Colonel Roessler again urges the recommendations set forth in his report of last year, principally the deepening of the channel at the mouth of the Columbia by dredging. Colonel Roesler strongly urges the placing in commission of the dredge Chinook. The Chinook lias been tied up at the Government moorings at Linn ton for the past four years. New boilers are necessary before she can go into active service and last year Colonel Roessler recommended the appropriation of $90,000 for this work. The appropria tion was not made and in the report which will be forwarded today the recommendation for money has been repeated. It is the theory of Colonel Roessler that the action of the ebb tide would have a great effect on the sands If the dredge were placed at the mouth of the river. The dredge would stir up the bottom sufficiently to permit the ebb tide to carry the sand seaward. Major J. F. Mclndoe, who has been detailed to relieve Colonel Roessler at Portland, arrived from New Orleans yesterday. He will take charge of the local office this morning. Major Mc lndoe has had charge of the river im provements on the 1' wer Mississippi river for several years. This is the first Pacific Coast assignment which has fallen to the lot of Major Mclndoe. He has been engaged in the engineer ing department of the Governmnt for more than 20 years. Colonel Roessler and Major Mclndoe will proceed to Fort Stevens this morn ing. The work at that place will be officially transferred to the new of ficial and Colonel Roessler s work will end for the Pacific Northwest. During his stay here Colonel Roessler has made a host of friends. BARK MAKES FAST VOYAGE Crown of Germany Reports Out After Voyage of 1 1 1 Days. The British bark Crown of German yh Captain Helms, which sailed from tl le Columbia River March 19 for the Unit d Kingdom, has reported out. The vestal made the run in 111 days and is -he tirtnd., draft of last year's fleet to make an ex- ceptionally fast voyage. The record for the season is held hty the American bark Homeward Bourv., which covered the distance in 108 day:. The British ship Claverdon, Captaf n David Thomson, made the run out in l':0 days and the Crown of Germany l;md( d in third place. Each of the vessels nasi a history and has been famous in one or more ways. The Homeward Bound was formerly the Gormr.i bark Otto GMdemeister and vaa declined a total constructive wreck w?in she was towed into San Diesfo yve.'.nl ears ago in a dismasted cond'tion. .Re insurance was offered on her at that time to the extent of 90 per cent. The Claverdon had a reputation for long Uime voyages. She was never known to t-ail a p. v where in decent time until Cap ta in Thomson took command. The master bt.ited to Portland friends that he vvuvuM drive the craft ho-i.e in less thin 120 days. Ho made good. The Ci'tvam of G ermany is known as one of tho tj istest railers of recent times and has a ruumber of t:.st passages to her credit.

Suit t p oust the officers of the local branch of the National Spiritualist's As soclatlc in, with the exception of J. E. Trigg, -the treasurer, and incidentally to recover $2000, was filed in the Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon by Harry Yam ;kwich, attorney for Green C. Love, and the National Spiritualist's Associa tioi i, the plaintiffs. It is a quo warranto sujft, and comes as a result of Mrs. Sophia B. Seip's fight against the Cottel ordi 1'iance, which recently passed the City 'Council. The defendants are Mrs. Seip, president, cnd Virginia Rowe, Lou Ellen Cornell, Mrs, F. M. Branch, Mrs. M. A. Congdon, Belle M. Haviland. Jennie Werner and Edwin King, seven of the board of di rectors in the association. Mr. Yanckwich said last night that Harrison Barrett, ex-presldent of the Na tional Spiritualists' Association, is en deavoring to have an ordinance against the mediums, similar to Portlanda, passed In all the large cities of the coun try. What is known as the Cottel ordi nance Is of Mr. Barrett's drafting. Mr. Yanckwich said that Mr. Barrett is mak ing an effort to separate the "intellectual and philanthropic spiritists" from those who make their living by pretending to have secret communication with the other world. A court of inquiry was recently held in Portland before George N. Warne, the National president of the Spiritualists' association. It appears from the present suit that some of the mediums refused to be severed from the association, wishing to be classed among the "intellectual spiritists" rather than among the so called fakers, in order that they might still practice. When the suit comes to trial it is prob able that the constitutionality of the new ordinance will be tested. The ordinance forbids mediums, or spiritualists to prac tice for compensation. It is also prob able that the case will be taken to the Supreme Court should it be decided against the mediums. The voluminous complaint asserts that Mrs. Seip is not qualified to hold office in the state organization because she was expelled from the Ministers' and Med iums' Protective Association and the First Spiritual Society. As a result she does not represent any of the auxiliaries of which the state association is composed. Attorney John F. Watts filed suit in the Justice Court yesterday afternoon against Mrs. Seip and her codefendants, to recoved $100 attorneys' fees. He repre sented the spiritualists .when they were on trial before President Warne, June 26 and 27. BERLIN COURT EXPLAINS Favors Zu Eulenberg on Account of His III Health. BERLIN. July 9. The Chief Judge hearing the case of Prince Philip Zu Eulenberg. who is charged with Der- J Jury in connection With the "round tame scandals of last year, has re plied to the continued attacks of the press, charging that the court was treating the princely prisoner more leniently than was the custom with prisoners in ordinary walks of life. This morning he called together the official reporters of the court and said he wished them to make public his declaration that the Prince was treated in a manner different trom other pris oners only on account of his ill-health; no other consideration Influenced the court. The court continued today to take testimony. The State's Attorney has appealed to the Prince to speak out and cease his denials, but this appeal re mains unanswered. Seven Bodies Recovered. LINCOLN.

Barstow & Co., of Xew J"ibrk, Will Construct Conduits In Portland Business District as Required by Ordinance. The contract was let yesterday by the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company for the building of an under ground system of conduits and cables in the business district, as required by city ordinance. The, contract amounts to over $1,000,000, and was awarded to the engineering firm of William S. Barstow & Co., of New York. This firm also has offices in Portland in charge of William S. Turner. Estimates and plans are now being prepared and the work will be started within a short time. The building of the conduits and the placing of wires and cables underground means that all electric wires in the business district will be taken from poles and put in the conduits under the streets. Only trolley wires and trolley feed wires will remain on poles in the district prescribed by the city authorities. With the installation of the new sys tem, current served to consumers throughout the business district will be changed from a 500-volt direct and a 220-volt alternating current to a 220 volt, three-phase direct current when the 'system is complete, which will mean the changing of all motors in the underground district now installed to the 220-volt direct current. This has been adopted in the Eastern cities as the standard and is considered the most flexible for the many different require ments of consumers. Current supplied to the trolley wires throughout the city for the operation of cars is 550-volt direct, and it will probably be maintained always at that potential. The adoption of the 220 Volt direct current In the underground district will absolutely separate' and permanently maintain the difference in circuits desired by the fire underwrit ers between the trolley and commer cial circuit?. "The cost of the installation of the underground conduit system will be upwards of $1,000,000," said President Josselyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company yesterday. "The improvement, costly tnough it is, will not bring any additional revenue to the company and is a contribution on the part of the railway to upbuild ing and beautifying the city, in which we are probably more greatly Interest ed than any other Individual or con cern." WHO ELECTS U. S SENATOR This Man Is Much Puzzled and He Writes to Inquire. HAY FI ELD, Or., July 6. (Eddytor Oregonion) I hev always been a re publican, but I am for Statement 1. Some uv my neighbors seem to be weaklnin' and I think your eddytori als are partly responsible. The ene mies of the princlpul are gltttn quite pert in this section. They claim we have been buncoed by Bourne and Chamberlain. I think it is a disgrace to make these unwarranted . attacks pn the foremost friends uv the pepul In the state. Jim Hanks has writ the Secretary nv State and got a abstract uv the vote fer seneter. He claims the ab stract shows Chamberlain is not the choice uv the pepul. He wuz showln' It around at the grange last week and stirrln' up quite a fuss among state ment men. He sez the abstract shows that Chamberlain is not the choice uv even half the pepul. It shows, he sez, that J. C. Cooper, the socialist candi date fer seneter, got 5257 votes, I. H. Amos, the prohi' candidate fer seneter 3787. Cake the republican candidate 50,899. makln' a total uv 59,943 uv the pepul who sed by their votes that they did not care fer Chamberlain fer sen eter, snd that only 52,421 uv the pepul sed by their votes that they wanted Chamberlain. Now I want to know if Jim Hanks Is not jugglin' the figgers? Does the official vote make any sich showin"? My brother Hiram's boy, who Is readin law in Portland, wuz out to spend the 4th, and I must declare I am mightily ashamed of that boy I knew the law would be the ruination uv him. He pined in with Jim Hanks and give us the- horse laugh fer beln" took in by the statement. He sez the constitution expressly pervides that the Leglslatur' shall choose the Sen eter. He sez each member will have to sware on oath to support the con stitution in order to git his seat. Then he asked, orrytorlcal like, will the leg islators obey their oaths, and choose a Seneter. or will they obey the state ment and go through the hollow form of declarln' Chamberlain elected, "and without regard to their individual preference," as set out in the state ment, and without regard to the fact that Chamberlain Is not the choice uv even half the pepul as shown by the offycial vote? Does the constitution require that the Leglslatur' shall choose the senet er? If it does, the constitution was got up by the Interests. Also please jTrgi'KiiPm1''ia'ml" There is no need of enect a quiCK cure Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient It never fails and can be relied upon in the most severe and dangerous cases. It is equally valuable for children and is the means of saving the lives of many children each year. In the world's history no medicine has ever met a n: oc x w- wiu.1. giciucr sutucss. state whether our member uv the Leg lslatur' will have to sware to support the constitution in order to git his seat? Hiram's boy also sed Chamberlain wuz purty slick. He said before the primaries Chamberlain and Alex Sweek passed the word down the line, quiet like, that democrats should register as republicans -and vote for the statement republicans fer the Leglslatur and that they should also vote fer Cake, as It wuz thought Cake would be easier to Beat than Fulton. He sez the demo crats nominated both Cake and Cham berlain. Is there any truth In these alleygatlons? Also please explain fully perportional repersentation? I see It carried. 1 guess I voted for It, as I "wuz fer all the reform measures. But I must con fess I didn't know this law wuz sub mitted till-1 saw in The Oregonlan that it went through. The democrats here claim that under, it they will git at least one Presidential' electer and may be 2. They say under perportional rep ersentation when 4 Presidential elec ters are to be voted on that each voter will have 4 votes, and that under per portional repersentation he can cast all 4 of his votes fer one man, and that they will have a cinch on one electer. They claim also that under perportional repersentation they will git about half the Leglslatur hereafter. When does perportional repersentation take effect? Hiram's boy sez Statement 1, the Recall and Perportional repersentation wuz all brought about by what Is known as the 'Pepul's Power Legue," and that Bourne and Chamberlain are members uv this legue and the movin spirts in it. He says the legue has already set the constitution and the laws topsy-turvy and that endless litigation and confusion will result. This part uv It seemed to tickle Hiram's boy because he is goin' to be a lawyer. He sez Chamberlain's influence as guvnor was great in bringing about this legisla tion, and that Chamberlain's object all the time wuz to be Seneter. Is there any ground fer this statement? According to what Hiram's boy sez, Ore gon has no right to violate the Constitu tion uv the United States, even if Oregon is wiser than the rest uv the country. He sez that if Oregon has discovered a plan that Is an improvement over the constitutional method uv electen" Seneters, that Oregon should git two-thirds uv the states to Jlne her In callln' fer a consti tutional convention to amend the Consti tution. He sez it can be did legally in this way. He sez if Oregon can violate one clause uv the Constitution without being called to account, simply because it deems its Judgment better than the combined judgment uv the Union, that then there will be nothln to prevent the other states from violatin with impunity any clause of the Federal Constitution, that may not be exactly to heir likin'. He sez no offi cer, high or low, has a right to violate his oath to support the Constitution. He says he is in favor uv direct election uv Sene ters, but not In advance uv an amendment uv the Federal. Constitution making It legal. Now I want to know if there is not some ketch in this argument uv Hiram's boy. Is it not alright fer a state, when it finds a plan uv guverment that beats the Constitution, to go ahead and adopt stch plan without waiten for an amendment uv the Constitution. Please answer now the questions I have put, and answer them fully and candidly without any uv your usual sarcasm. Very truly yours, JOSIAH TOMPKINS. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Births.

BRIDGE SOON READY Workmen Completing Struc ture Across Willamette. BIGGEST SPAN IN WORLD Last Spike Will Be Driven This Week In Draw That Has Total Length or 53 5 Feet Four Trains Ordered. Longer than any other draw span in any bridge in the world is the pivot span in the new bridge across the Willamette River below the city, which is being built by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail way. The total length of the draw is 535 feet. On each side of the pivot pier there is a clearance of 263 feet to the nearest pier. Workmen are now completing this span, which is the last part of the bridge to be completed. The last pin In the structure will be driven this week. Not only is the draw span the long est of any railroad or other bridge in the world, but it is a double track bridge and on that account it is ex tremely heavy for operation. It is not unlikely that special machinery will have to be secured to swing the very heavy draw open and shut to allow the passage of vessels. The Spokane, Portland & Seattle is setting a mark' in big things for not only is this draw span a bigger one than any other but the bridge across the Columbia River at Vancouver is one of the longest similar structures In existence. The Willamette bridge will be completed ready for the opera tion of trains at some date between August 15 and September 1. Delivery of four complete trains for operation between" Portland and Spo kane over the new road will be made at Portland by October 15. These trains are said to be the latest thing in every way and are made especially for the comfort of passengers. They are being manufactured throughout by the Pullman Company and everything from the baggage car to the observa tion end will be turned out of the Pull man shops, chair cars, day coaches and all. Officials of the new road ex pect to have the line completed to Spokane by Janua-y 1, 1909. The Chamber of Commerce i:j arrang ing a celebratio l that will be held when the new road opens. Special plans are being made for a great dem onstration. All commercal organiza tions in the city will be asked to Join in making the opening of the North Bank line a gala affair. Just what form the celebration will take is not yet determined but the transportation committee of the Cham ber of Commerce, headed by Henry Hahn, will work on the matter and join with the other organizations. It is hoped to have James J. Hill, President Louis Hill, of the Great Northern, and Howard Elliott, president of the North ern Pacific, visit the city when the new road is opened and join in the dem onstration. COME TO AID OF BROOKS Grand Army Angered by Transfer of Postofflce Employe. WASHINGTON, July 9. A storm of indignation has been raised among Grand Army Veterans here as the re sult of the announcement that? Captain Newton M. Brooks, superintendent of foreign mails of the Postofflce Depart ment, is to be transferred to a subor dinate position in the department, with Basil Miles, of Pennsylvania, third sec retary of the Embassy at Berlin, his successor. At an informal meeting of the local G. A. R. men last night in dignation was expressed over the change and President Roosevelt was criticised. A general indignation meet ing of the G. A. R. veterans has been CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY New Drag, Poalam, Now Obtainable In Small Quantities. Since its discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema' and other distressing skin 'af flictions. 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, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, Itching feet, piles, etc, which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, 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 Skidmore Drag 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. Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them. take a Remedy , for to few doses of 1 .
