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-

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.

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.

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.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 7. C. W. Trick
et. Assistant Attorney-General, was ar
rested late last night at his home In
Kansas City, Kan., on a state war
rant charging malfeasance In office.
The specific complaint Is that Trlcket
has accepted fees and settled cases
before the defendants were arraigned
in court to determine their guilt. Mr.
Trlcket since hla appointment to the
Assstnnt Attorney - Generalship has
gained notoriety by his active fight
against the illegal selling of liquor in
Kansas City, Kan., which he has en
tirely suppressed. Mr. Trlcket denies
the charge and asserts that the liquor
Interests are behind the movement to
remove him. -
They accordingly drew, their checks
for $21,000. leaving a balance of $44,000
to be paid on the land. 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

ter of Section 1, Township 7 north, of
Range 4 west, of Willamette meridian.

west quarter of Section 36, Township
8 north, of Range 4 west, of Willamette
meridian.
The property of the Hawthorne es
tate was represented to be on sale for
$15,000, while the plaintiffs discovered
afterward that it sold for $5000. H. F.
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

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.

to
DR. TAYLOR,
The Leading Specialist.
I am anxious that every man who is a suf
ferer I care not as to whether his trouble

ous debility, organic weakness, varicocele or
hydrocele should know that IF I ACCEPT
HIS CASE he is assured a PERFECT and
a PERMANENT CURE. I guarantee this.
My written guarantee contains, among oth
er protecting clauses, this plain statement :
"If the cure is not made to the satisfac
tion of the patient ALL THE MONEY is

cause whatever." In justice,, may I ask
YOU what stronger proof I can offer than
this as to my certainty of being able to cure YOU I Come and tell
me what clearer proof you would like to have and it is at your dis
posal. You must remember that your confidence is FULLY RE
SPECTED. I never divulge a name. My office is as sacred as that
of the priest in the confessional. If my cured patients wish to speak
kindly of me, they will do so. I have never asked it, I never shall.

Livestock Association's Fall meeting,
September 21-26.
The officials formulated a schedule
to be submitted to the traffic managers
of the respective lines concerned and
adjourned to meet Monday next, at
which time the rates will be an
nounced. There is no doubt expressed
that reduced rates will be authorized
from the different sections of the Pa
cific Northwest reached by the lines.
TO RETURN FOR CAMPAIGN
Senator Bourne Will Come to Ore
gon September 1.
United States Senator Bourne has
written Thomas McCusker, of this city.
that he will return to Oregon about
September 1 to assist in the Taft-Sher-man
campaign In this state. In his let
ter. Senator Bourne expresses confi
dence In the election of Taft and Sher
man beyond all question of a doubt,
but he thinks no efforts should be
spared to make the victory over the
Nebraskan the more decisive.
It Is professedly for that reason alone
the Senator expects to. return to Oregon
this Fall. There Is a strong suspicion,
however, that the organization of the
Oregon Legislature next Winter by the
Statement No. 1 members Is a matter
of more vital Interest to Senator Bourne
than any campaign work in the Inter
est of Taft and Sherman, who are cer
tain to carry this state by the usual
Republican majority. However, Mr. Mc
Cusker said he was not In a position
to discuss the subject of whether or
not Bourne would take part In the or
ganization of the Legislature.
