16 THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 17. 1908. RIVER CAPTAINS TAKEN TO JAIL Masters of the Lurline and Spencer Arrested for Break ing Speed Rules. . ARE RELEASED ON BONDS Port of Portland Engineer Lock wood Says That Racing Must Be Discontinued Between Points . Above Llnnlon. Captain Charles R. Spencer, master of the steamer Chas. R. Spencer, and Cap tain W. W. McCully, master of the steam er Lurline, were arrested yesterday morning on charges of operating their respective vessels in the harbor at a speed exceeding eight miles an hour. Each captain put up bonds in the sum of $100 and the boats were allowed to proceed from port. The cases will be called In the Municipal Court on the lay over days of the boats. The masters of the Spencer and the Lur line have been accused of exceeding the speed limit but it was not until last Tuesday that absolute evidence could be secured. The warrants on which the arrests were made were sworn to by J. B. C. Lockwood. Engineer of the Port of Portland. In conjunction with Harbor master Speler, watches were set and the time of the boats taken between the steel bridge and the flour mill. On the morning of July 14 both boats mentioned ran well ahead of the time allowed. Cap tain Speler states that the cases will be pushed to the limit. Complaint has been made by many ship masters of the swells made by steamers passing at full speed. Recently the Port of Portland took the matter up and passed a resolution to limit the speed of steam vessels between Ltnnton and Port land. This was in addition to the munici pal ordinance requiring that boats do not exceed eight miles an hour between Ross Island and the flour mill. Boats of the O. R. & N. Company and of the Regu lator line have adhered to the ruling but a number of other boats have failed to comply. The master of the British bark Crown of India has made a number of complaints about the swells of passing steamers caus ing damage to his ship. A watch has been maintained . for over two weeks by the Port of Portland and the Harbor master. A number of steamboat men maintain that the state and the city has no power to regulate the speed of steamers; that It is a matter for the Federal Government. As it now stands the question will not be settled until a test case is made. DOLLAR VISITS PORTLAND Steamship Owner Will Send Boats for Cargoes of Lumber. R.

The City Council have asked City Attorney Bean to draw an amendment to the city charter authorizing the issue of $500,000 worth of bonds to be used in purchasing the Willamette Valley Company's plant here, and securing a gravity system of waterworks for Eugene.

The decision of the Supreme Court on the Portland bond issue is very satisfac tory to the people here as It will save them considerable time in securing the amendment.

SPLENDID ENTRIES SURE He Praises Local Advantages and Is Impressed With Natural Beauties of Country Club Site Oregon's Opportunities Unexcelled. W. E. Skinner, founder of the Inter national Livestock Show at Chicago, general superintendent of that exposi tion the greatest in the United States for seven years, and one of the fore most stockmen of America, is In Port land In the interest of the movement to establish a complete chain of shows for the entire Northwest. This circuit is to include Portland, and will em brace points all the way from St. Paul to the Pacific Coast and from Denver to the Coast, ten cities in all. Mr. Skinner who is now heavily interested ki the livestock industry of Denver, and is vice-president of the National Western Livestock Association of that city, arrived in Portland yesterday and Is staying at the Cornelius for a few days looking over the situation here. Yesterday afternoon, as the guest of President S. G. Reed and Secretary G. A. Westgate, of the Country . Club and Livestock Association, he vis ited the Country Club tract In specting the race-course, the racing stables and livestock barns with pains-taking care and declared enthu siastically that It is the finest site for such usage of any In the United States, with every natural advantage in its favor, and not a drawback that he could discover. The Northwestern circuit which he is Interested in establishing will, ac cording to Mr. Skinner, be a reality within the next year, for he declares that almost every state involved in this big plan is ready to enter into the scheme. The cities where expositions are held which will be Included In this chain of livestock meets will be as follows, the season starting at 6t. Paul, late in the Summer, and continuing from place to place in about the order named, so as to route the exhibits westward over one system of railroads and back over another line; St. Paul will have the opening show, followed by Fargo, N. D.; Miles City or Billings, Mont.; Spo kane, North Yakima, Seattle, Portland, Boise, Salt Lake and Denver. This would give continuous expositions from late in September until early in Janu ary, when the National Western at Denver is held. Stock Show as Drawing-Card. "Your opportunities here are unex celled," said Mr. Skinner, last nitrht, "and when you are well established there is no reason why you should not surpass the splendid record .Denver has made. I will tell you why. Denver, with nothing but a livestock show and that limited to the meat type of ani mals and farmers' draft horses, and without a race meet or special feature exhibits, drew 35,000 people every day of the week's show, last January, and we didn't have accommodations for them. We had to hold an overflow show. Had we had the facilities we would have had an average of 40,000 attendance every day. "Here you have a city fully as large as Denver, and you have the added at traction of a full week's races in addi tion to the livestock show, so that you should outdraw Denver considerably, pro vided, of course, your people are edu cated up to the meaning of such exposi tions. "What I mean is this: You are going to have huge packing plants built here, and the only way In the world for Portland to develop that Industry the way it should be done Is to provide the matterlal for the packers to work with, and that is best done through a livestock exposition. - "We In Denver have seen the force of this, so that only a few days before I left home I let a contract for a (200,000 brick, steel and concrete exposition build ing, in which all divisions and classes of entries will be housed. This magnificent structure must be turned over to our as sociation not later than December 1. Portland will have to have as big or big ger building than that if the livestock industry' of Oregon is to be developed the way it should and the way it deserves. The greatest impetus to such develop ment, to my mind, will come when we have established this circuit of ten cities, and Portland and Oregon have further need of demonstrating the proper spirit of enterprise because two of the biggest packing concerns of the country are to be established right at your very doors. Need of Scientific Development. "Agriculture and horticulture are the basis of civic and commercial life, and the livestock Industry m the fundamental basis of agricultural development. So that any city, and particularly one situ ated as favorably as Portland is, .owes it to herself and to the country to develop to the greatest possible limit the livestock industry. It should be done scientifical ly and with some purpose. Anybody can raise 'scrub' stock, but my friend, Mr. Ladd, whose splendid herds I have had several opportunities of seeing, can put a fresh-weaned calf on the market that will weigh as much and fetch a higher price than a full-grown 'scrub' animal. That is the distinction. Make stockrais lng a business based on scientific lines, and there isn't a spot on God's footstool that can do this better than Oregon can." Mr. Skinner expects to have confer ences with the packing-house Interests here, with the leading stockmen in and around Portland, during the next few days, remaining here until over Sunday, when he will go ,to Spokane and to Seat tle in the interests of the Northwestern circuit. So great is his confidence that the movement will ' take tangible form that he advises the officials of the Coun try Club and Livestock Association to begin early preparations for holding a meet under such auspices next year. ASK FOR RATE CONFERENCE (Continued from First Page.) term, ''family," as used in .the act to regulate commerce, Is one of several Interesting rulings made public today by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. The rulings are upon questions raised or submitted to the Commission in correspondence. This decision is a modification of a previous ruling to the contrary effect. In another ruling, the Commission holds that common carriers may pro vide at points along their lines eating houses for passengers and employes of such carriers, and that property for use of the eating-houses may be properly regarded as necessary and Intended for use of the carriers In the conduct of their business. It Is provided that these eating-houses, however, must not serve the general public or any portion there of with food prepared from commodi ties which have been carried at less than the fulf published rates, and that no utensils, fuel or servants employed at all In serving other than passengers and employes of the carrier, as such, should be carried at less than the tariff rates. It is held in another decision that a belt line owned by a - municipality which participates in interstate move ments Is subject to the Jurisdiction of the act to regulate commerce of the Commission. In still another decision the Commis sion holds that a mlsrouting carrier may be authorized to make a refund on account of Its error in mlsrouting a shipment, and. that the carrier which participated in the transportation with out a lawful tariff applicable thereto "should be dealt with through the de partment of prosecutions." In this case a shipment .was mlsrouted and passed over a route via a part of which no rate was filed with the Commission, and was thus subjected to a higher charge than the through rate via the proper route. A decision of peculiar Interest is that in the case of a shipment which was tendered destined to a certain point, the direct route to which was' over the lines of two carriers, a distance of 368 miles, the rate via that route being 22 cents. It was possible to send the ship ment around over the lines of three carriers, a distance -of 671 miles, and secure a combination rate of only 19 cents. Application was made for a re fund, on account of the difference be tween the rates, but the Commission held that the claim for a refund is to be denied, on the ground that the much longer and indirect route was not a reasonable route.

Murderer Mistook Victim as Wrecker of Italian Home Leo Never in Italy-- ' CANON CITY. Colo., July. 16. A signed statement, given last Sunday by Gulseppe Alia to Antone Sasso, an Ital ian guard at the prison, makes It ap pear that Father Leo was a- victim of mistaken Identity. In this statement Alia declares that the priest whom he killed was an Italian priest for whom he worked five years in Portugal, and who, he declared, dishonored his wife. He said he recognized Father Leo as this priest when he first saw Father Leo In St. Elizabeth's Church, and he visited the church several times before shooting the priest, to assure himself he had made no mistake. As Father Leo had never been In either Portugal or Italy, there is be lieved to be no doubt that Alla'i Iden tification of him was a delusion.

Riley, pensioned fireman, of South Boston, Mass., is a sample of the thousands received from grateful men and women who have been benefited by the world's great tonic-stimulant. In an interview Mr. Riley said : "I joined the Fire Department of South Boston in 1890 and was lately pensioned off because of a bad fall while in service, which telescoped my spine. "A little. over a year ago I was taken sick while in the engine-house, and it developed into heart trouble and malaria. I went to a number of doctors and two different hospitals and went through a course of treat ment from each, but I did not receive much benefit from any of them. The doctors would not let me go in swim ming, nor smoke, nor drink anything but water. I stopped both tea and coffee. My case was getting very seri ous when a friend said to me: 'Why don't you get a bottle of Duffy's Malt "Whiskey? I know a man who was given up for all time, and he took Duffy's Malt "Whiskey and today he is as well a man' as you can find.' So I commenced taking Duffy's Pure Malt "Whiskey, and the result is that the doctors now say that '. I am all right, and I never felt better in my life. Of course, I am very little good as far as heavy work is concerned, owing to my injury, but I am well, and that is a good, thing to be able to say. I thank you for the remedy that put me pn my feet again. " Duffy 's Pure Malt "Whiskey is . an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain; great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the most ef fective tonic stimulant and invigora tor known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatability and freedom from injurious sub stances render it so that it can be re tained by the most sensitive stomach. (Dose) : One teaspoonf ul in each glass of drinking water during the hot weather will kill all germs. If weak and run down, take a tea spoonful four times a day in half a glass of milk or water. It stimulates the heart action, causes the blood to course more quickly through the veins and builds new tissue. Duffy's Pure Malt "Whiskey is sold throughout the world by druggists, grocers, and dealers, or shipped direct for $1.00 per bottle. If in need of advice, write Consult ing Physician, Duffy Malt "Whis key Company, Rochester, New York, stating your case fully. Our doctors will send you advice free, together with a handsome illustrated medical booklet containing some of the man thousands of . gratifying letters re ceived from men and women in all walks of life, both old and young, who have been cured and benefited by the use of the world's greatest medicine.

Bodies Scattered for Half a Mile. Fragments of bodies were scattered for half a mile from the magazine. Three men who were working in the storehouse at the time of the explosion, Mead, McDonald and Grill, literally were blown to atoms, and diligent search after the debris had been cleared away failed to bring forth a piece of their flesh or bones that would fill anything larger than a shoe box. The three Italians who were not far from the powder house were killed Instantly. Rossi's shoe was blown off and In It was found $160 In money. Whole Town Feels Shock. The terlffic force of the - explosion of nearly two cars of powder was felt In the most remote districts of the mining town and every window pane within a distance of six or seven blocks from the powder house was shattered.

"Bits of bone and flesh were strewn about everywhere. I believe I found the largest piece of the victims; it was the elbow socket and a short part of the forearm bone. The only recognizable part of Mead's anatomy discovered was the left hand, blown off at the wrist and hardly Injured." Brazil Welcomes Japanese. TOKIO, July 29.

The supposed murder of William Williams, the 60-year-old farmer who lived near the Maryland state line and who was about to marry Elizabeth Walls, a 13-year-old girl, has aroused the entire Delaware peninsula. The authorities are sparing no efforts to reach a solution of the mystery. The body of Williams was buried today. The evidence of the Coroner's physician before the Coroner's jury disproved the suicide theory and he said death was due to blood clots on the brain, the result of a heavy blow on the head. Members of the family are very reticent regarding the tragedy. In searching for clews the Delaware and Maryland authori ties have discovered that both the Walls and Williams family were opposed to the m arri age.
