USE OF STEAMERS GROWS Manufacturers Complain of favor itism In Letting Army Contracts. CHICAGO. Aug. 7. Manufacturers of the West have found new ammunition in their fight against the methods employed by the War Department In awarding con tracts for Army clothing. Following Its protest last month against the action of the department In constituting a central board of umpires at Philadelphia to pass upon all bids, the Illinois Manufacturers Association has registered a new corn- Few Sailing-Vessels Taken During Last Two Months Power Boats Accept Rates Below Minimum of Sailers Marine Xews. . Balfour. Guthrie tk. Co. have clfcrtered the British steamship Fraskiyn. 3W1 tons, to load wheat for the United Kingdom at Portland. The charter calls for Septem ber loading and the vessel will be among the first of the large carriers to get away for the season. The Franklyn is now coaling at Japanese ports for the trip across the Pacific. Steam tonnage Is first on the list for outward cargoes for the beginning of the season. There has been a slump In the chartering of sailing ships for new crop grain for several weeks past. The steam ers which carried coal for the fleet have been placed on the open list at figures below that scheduled as a minimum for craft belonging to the association. The lowest rate which will be accepted by union ships is 27s lid, while steamers have been offering as low as 26s Sd. Exporters have been buying heavily for several weeks past, but It is understood that a large quantity of the grain is for milling purposes and not for export. The crop will average well up, although In spots there Is practically nothing worth harvesting In the Spring wheat. In other places the crop Is In excess of the yield of last year and the total will average about the same. I STEAUEB INTELLIGENCE. t Doe to Arrlva. Name From.

RATES ARE TO BE CHAXGED Steamship Agents Will Revise Tar iffs to Oriental Ports. X' Walter Ransom, agent of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany and of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company, has returned from a business trip to Seattle. Mr. Ransom went to the Sound City to attend the meeting of the agents of the various steamship companies operating between Pacific Coast ports and the Orient. The meeting was held In connection with the recent ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission regulating through rates be tween American cities and ports in the Orient. The agents agreed to adjust the tariffs so as. to grant about the same amount of revenue to the steamers as was secured under the old system. On some commo dities the rate will be greater and on others It will be less. plaint. It Is based on the new depart ment regulation that all bidders for con tracts to make Army clothing shall de posit with the central board a special 20 yards sample. The protest, which is Incorporated In a letter sent by Secretary John M. Glenn of the association to Secretary of War Wright is couched in vigorous terms, The department Is criticised severely for Its alleged discrimination against certain bidders. Another feature of the protest Is the claim that the new regulation practically is equivalent to the establishing of . "corner" in the making of Army cloth ing. as the expense of making the sample is prohibitive to most manufacturers. This. It is claimed, will result in the placing of the contract in the hands of one manufacturer. In the Western manufacturers' first protest against the creation of the Phil adelphia board, it Is claimed that the Eastern bidders thug were given a big tactical advantage over Western manu facturers. It was contended that It was a hardship for Middle Western companies to submit samples so far from their base. Insinuations were also made to the ef fect that the War. Department deliberate ly was arranging matters so Eastern firms wouiu get all the big contracts. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Shipping News of Taconia. TACOMA; Aug. 7.

Terminus Addition to Alblna Suit Over Columbia .County Land Purchased From Estate Also Filed In State Circuit Court. Misrepresentation Alleged. Two suits Involving the Hawthorne estate were filed yesterday in the Cir cuit Court. The first Is that of Mrs. Louise H. Boise, wife of "Whitney L Boise, against Catherine H. Collins, secretary of the estate, to compel her to give Mrs. Boise the opportunity to have the books experted. Judge Cle land issued a writ of mandamus to this effect yesterday, returnable August 20. In this suit It Is alleged that George Black was employed by the estate, composed of Mrs. R. I Hawthorne, president; Mrs. Boise, vice-president. and Mrs. Collins, secretary, to expert the books last year.. At that time it la alleged to have been found that Whit ney L Boise, an agent of the estate, was short in his accounts $115,000. Mrs. Boise says that although she of fered to examine the books In the presence of Mrs. Collins, and at her office, she was refused the right. Another allegation of the complaint is that of 1000 shares of stock owned by Mrs. Boise, Mrs. Collins holds 999 shares to secure the payment of the debts .of Mrs. Boise's husband. This money Is alleged to be due the estate on -account of collections made by R. L. Cate and W. B. Cate. who were acting as the estate's agents. The corpora tion is capitalized at 1300.000. Mrs. Boise says the reason she wants to examine the books is because there is a dispute between herself and the defendant regarding the. status of the accounts. Suit Over Columbia County Acreage The other suit is that of P. G. Carl son and J. A. Kallstrom against E. P. Prebble. to recover $12,332.95. The plaintiffs allege that they have been swindled out of this amount through Prebble's manipulation of the prices of acreage In Columbia County, a part of which was purchased by Carlson and Kallstrom from the Hawthorne es tate. A part of this, at least, is tim ber land. It is alleged that Prebble represented to the two plaintiffs that a corporation, In which E. J. Burdlck and S. Ban are interested, desired to sell Columbia County property for $75,000. Prebble was to pay four-tenths of the purchase price, while Carlson and Kallstrom were each to pay three-tenths, and to share accordingly in the profits. Sub sequently. It Is alleged the plaintiffs could not raise all the money, an agreed to pay a deposit, with the un derstanding that the deed was to b deposited with" the Canadian Bank Commerce, and to be turned over to them when -payment was made in full- Say Prebble Paid N'olhing. DOG SUIT IS STILL, IX COURT Although Animal Waa Killed, Case May Be Appealed. Although the white Spitz dog claimed by Stella McKern and E. J. Davey, was killed by a streetcar, the suit, brought months ago.- involving Its ownership, came ' up again yesterday afternoon before Judge Cleland. Constable Lou Wagner took exception to the findings of the court and prepared new find lngs, which he vainly sought to have the court sign. Judgment had been entered for the plaintiff. Mrs. McKern and the suit dismissed as to Davey. In the findings prepared by Wagner's at torney appeared the statement that the dog was born May 5, 1903. This the court regarded as immaterial to the issue. As Wagner took 30 days in which to file a bill of exceptions, it is possible that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. The suit of Mrs. McKern for $2000 damages and $250 hospital fees, be cause of Wagner's alleged malicious as sault on her when he entered - her house, March 7, 1907, and took poses slon of the canine, will be tried during the Fall term of court. SET SPECIAL DAYS ADLER FIGHTS FOR RELEASE Judge Hears Arguments Based on Legal Technicality. Adolph Adler's attempt to gain his re lease from the County Jail on a technical ity came to a focus yesterday afternoon, when counsel appeared before Presiding Judge Cleland, In the Circuit Court to ar gue the demurrer to the information on the ground that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of suit. After hearing the arguments the court took the matter under advisement. Adler was arrested on the charge of at tempting to extort $400 from Sig Sichel. He contends that the information filed against him does not contain a copy of the threatening letter he wrote to Sichel, and hence s void. He also contends that it does not say that the letter was ever delivered to Sichel, or that it was Sichel's money which was demanded. Counsel for Adler contended that If Sichel owed Adler the money, and Adler threateningly de manded it, such a threat would not con stitute a crime, w Authorities to snow that the informa tion has been correctly drawn were cited by District Attorney Cameron. Mrs. Anna Berg Wants Divorce. That Andrew J. Berg made ten trips away from home between 1901 and 1903, each of them from, six weens to six months long. Is the allegation of Anna Berg in a suit for divorce, filed In the Circuit Court. During these times, she says, she was left to support herself as best she could. They were living at Galesville, Wis., at that time, but she was compelled to leave him. She now owns property in Stewart Park Addition to which she asks a clear title. They were married In Galesville, December 6, 1884. Programme Announced for Stock Show and Races.

Prebble was at the same time to pay his four-tenths. Carlson and Kallstrom afterward found that the actual purchase price of the land was $56,000, and that Prebble paid nothing from his own pocket. They also allege that Prebble converted $5000 of their money to his own use on this deal. This land is In Columbia County, de scribed as follows: Southwest quarter and northwest quarter of Section 36 Township 8 north, Range 4 west, and he southwest quarter of Section 31 Township S north, of Range 3 west. and the north half and northwest quar ter of Section 1, Township 7 north, of Range 4 west, of Willamette meridian.

Reese was represented as having an interest in the estate, and a check for $1000 was accordingly drawn In his favor. The total paid by Carlson and Kallstrom was $12,332.95. Prebble was to pay the balance. It Is alleged that he converted $7332.95 of the money to his own use. This land is the south west quarter of Section 36, Township 8 north.

Mortgages aggregating $80,000 rest against the estate. The application for the sale of the Blue Mountain American printing plant for $300, while it is ap praised at only $100, is an Indication that the estate may bring much more than its appraised value. The apprais ers are: Benjamin L Cohen, L. E. Car ter and W. J. Gill. The estate of Francis Xavler Auer has been appraised at $6502 by Frits Strobel, Jacob Unger and D. W. Hoelbing.

The directors confirmed the recent election of new members. The .financial report submitted showed the affairs of the board to be in a satisfactory condi tion. Other matters passed upon were the indorsement of the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition at Seattle, and re duced rates In connection with It, and the appointment of delegates to the Good Roads Convention. A special committee was appointed to keep In touch with the new bridge prop osition now under discussion, which It Is the desire of the Board of Director to support. The members of this commit tee are C. L. Goodrich, chairman; F. E. Beach and B. Lee Paget. Secretary Fred Muller received au thorization to visit the wheat belt in the interests of the exchange, and he left for Eastern Oregon last night on hla mission. The committee on general manage ment of the harness races and livestock show to be held here the week of Sep tember 21-26 met yesterday afternoon and selected the special days of the week for which Inducements will be made In the way of railroad rates, either for the races or for the livestock show. It was decided that a "grand open ing" event should be listed for Monday, the opening day of the race meet, and that the various railroad lines enter ing Portland should be asked to give special reduced rates for that date. Inland Empire day, which is to be Tuesday, Is to be one of the most im portant days of the entire week, for it will Involve race meets covering North Yakima. Walla Walla and Spokane, and ivestock meets scheduled for the same Important centers in that great region. n order to bring the crowds to Port- and the traffic officials of the O. R. & N. and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle have been in conference and it is ex pected that at least a one-way rate for the round trip will be announced. Portland day will be Wednesday and the directors of the Country Club and Livestock Association intend to ask Mayor Lane to declare a holiday among the retail houses and among all other establishments possible. "All merchants should close their places of business on that day," said Chairman F. O. Down ing yesterday. Western Oregon day, which is to in clude the entire Willamette Valley and all other portions of the state where the livestock Industry and harness horses thrive will carry with it an ex tremely low rate on the Southern Pa cific and all its branch lines throughout the Valley, the exact rate not to be de cided until General Passenger Agent MoMurray has had the opportunity to have a conference with the management committee of the association. Western Washington day Is expected to be one of the most important of all the days of the week, for entries have been made from practically every point on Puget Sound, In Southwestern Wash ington and from all the local county fairs that are to be held In the vast regions west of the Cascade Mountains. The Northern Pacific has been asked to prepare rates for this particular day ad it is highly probable that a rate of one and one-third fare will be granted. But the day of all the days will be Saturday, the closing day of the meet. The Portland public schools will have been In session for two or three weeks, but inasmuch as there will be a cessa tion of school work on Saturdays It is expected that the biggest crowd of the week will turn out on the final day. The race events are such that they should attract the largest crowds of the. week for the 2:05 pace, the Rapid Transit stake of $1500. is the opening number on the race card, and the Rural Spirit purse 2:10 trot, $1500 purse, is the other classic number on the day's programme. In order to establish a uniform basis of railroad rates for the various special days, the traffic officials of the O. R. & N., the Southern Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the North Bank road will meet with the directors of the Country Club within the next few days so that the tariffs may be announced In time to arrange for the special rates.
