MONTH PROMISES RECORD Fiscal Yrtr Will Find Over 150 Grain and Lumber-Carriers Leav ing This Pert, Not Counting Small Coasters. September foreign grain shipment opened yesterday with the clearance of two vessel. The first to clear was the British steamship Braemount. under char ter to Kerr. Gilford Co., which finished late In the day at Montgomery No. 2. Her cargo consists of 77.793 sacks of wheat, valued at $153,900. The other clearance was the French bark Eugenie Fautrel. loaded with 45.470 sacks of wheat, valued at JUO.T02. under charter to Balfour. Guthrie The" Braemount was reported ready to sail this morning and is to proceed to St. Vincent for orders. The Eugenie Fautrel is to report for orders at Queenstown or Falmouth. Among the arrivals yesterday was the Norwegian bark Daghold. under charter to Kerr. Gifford & Co. As reported yesterday In The Oregonlan. September foreign shipments of grain will break all records, as there is al ready chartered for the month 21.147 tons eteam and over 10.000 tons sail, which will run the total of the month over 2,000,00 bushels of wheat and barley. One of the principal local shipping agen cies reports that no li-ss than 150 vessels will arrive and depart at this port In the grain and lumber trade during the fiscal year, that Is. between now and July 1. That would mean a large vessel to leave this port every otrer day from now to the close of the season. KATES OX FLOUR RAISED Chinese Boycott on Japanese Aids American Liners. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. L Flour freight rates to China, Japan and the Philippine Islands were advanced today. The rate to Japan has been boosted from II a ton to $3; to Shanghai, from $3 to J4: Hongkong, from R! to $3.50. and Manila, from $3.30 to $4. About a month ago operators of steamships In the Ori ental trade held a meeting and decided to raise the tariff on flour September 1. The absence of itinerary freighters from the local market was a potent factor in the present Increase. Last Fall saw a heavy Influx of many foreign freighters to Puget Sound and the Government offlrlals came In for severe censure by the shipowners for chartering foreign bottoms to bring coal to the Pacific for the Atlantic battleship fleet. These vessels, having delivered their cargoes at San Francisco, were left on the Pacific without cargoes. They were anxious to get to their destinations and accepted cargoes at almost any fig ureanything to help defray the operat ing expanses of the vessel. In order to meet this competition the regular liners were forced to pull down their rates until the tariff on flour to China was as low as $1. a figure which established a record in Oriental shipping history. With practically all the tramp liners gone, the regular line companies got to gether and decided on the advance In rates which went into effect today. The present Chinese boycott on the Japanese is one factor which Is helping local Ori ental freight carrying steamship lines. The Chinese are demanding that their goods be sent in ships owned by others than Japanese, and this has thrown much business to American companies that might have gone to the Japanese lines.

Koumaaia, YOUNG GIRL HAS THIEF FOR DOUBLE Miss Marie Honig Is Arrested for -Theft, but Clearly Proves Alibi. CASE MISTAKEN IDENTITY Although Witnesses for Prosecution Accuse Her of Shop-Lifting, Her Own Friends Prove She Was In Eugene at Time of Theft. Arrested at her home In Eugene four days ago. rushed to Portland on a charge of shoplifting, released on bonds, tried In Municipal Court yesterday afternoon and acquitted after establishing a clear case : t MISS MARIE HONIG, OF ECGENE. of mistaken identity, is the strange case of Marie Honig. a striking blonde, 19 years of age, who resides with her mother at the university town. Stranger still, it was established by her attorney, John H. Stevenson, that another woman, remarkably like the defendant In appearance, her double In fact, had at tempted a crime similar to the one for which she was arrested. It was not proved that the double committed the of fense for which Miss Honlg was arrested, but the Innocence of the defendant was established sufficiently to cause the case against her to be dismissed. The young woman was charged with having entered the Palais Royal store, an exclusive women's establlshmeufon Wash ington street, and making away with a crepe de chine dress. The theft was ex tremely bold and equally as novel.- me young woman walked into the place, ap proached a saleswoman and asked to be shown a certain kind of dress. The sales woman complied with the request and the prospective purchaser was quickly satis fied. She ordered the dress done up in a parcel and. as the saleswoman did so, asked that it be charged to her husband, Harry Redding, steward at the Portland Hotel. This the saleswoman could not do, and referred the young woman to Mrs. M. E. Becker, proprietress. The young woman walked back to Mrs. Becker's desk and re peated the request. Mrs. Becker de murred, declaring that she would call the hotel by phone and ascertain the relia bility of the proposed creditor. The young woman protested and refused to consent to such action. She Insisted that sne be al lowed to take the dress with her and tha bill be sent to her husband. Mrs. Becker refused, but meanwhile the saleswoman had placed the parcel containing the dress near the young, woman. Bold Thief Steals Dress. Suddenly she seized .it. and before any of the employes could stop her, dashed out of the store and down the street. Police headquarters was at once notified and Detective Hawley detailed on the case. He questioned many of the em ployes of the Palais Royal who had seen the bold shoplifter. Each had caught only a profile, or side view, but gave excellent descriptions.. Then Redding was called up and asked if he knew anyone answer ing the description of the young woman, who would represent herself to be his wife. "Of course I do." he replied without hes itation, "It's Marie Honig." The crime was committed August 21. Detective Hawley boarded the train and went to Eugene, where MWle Honlg lives. She had returned from the theater and had just retired when the oftcer called. Has tily arising, she attired herself and caught the train to Portland In half an hour. On her aVrival she was released on bail and was tried yesterday. Meanwhile a crime, almost identical in detail and conception, had been at tempted at the department store of Meier & Frank Company by a woman resembling Marie Honig very closely. The woman went Into the suit depart ment and asked to see a certain kind of suit. She also was quickly satisfied, and ordered the suit done up in a package. After the saleswoman had complied the purchaser asked that it be charged to Harry Redding, her hus band, steward at the Portland Hotel. The saleswoman referred the request to the credit department and the sale was not made. The department was willing to do aa she requested provided she consented to calling Redding by phone. This she refused to do. Frills and Feathers In Courtroom. The scene In Municipal Court yes terday afternoon during the trial was an odd one. Filled with femininity, the gloomy walls where the blind god dess presides looked down upon frills and feathers; and Incidentally upon many gum-chewing matches. On the . 1-1 -. V. . .. n. t nt WAmn VMB many patrolmen, who were deeply in terested. News of the queer case spread rapidly about the building, and even Chief Grltzmacher Joined the throng of curious spectators. With the exception" of Redding, his friend. Pierce, also an employe of the Portland Hotel, and a handwriting ex pert, all the witnesses were women. And they were evenly divided, and equally positive of the merits of their respective sides. When a witness for the defense made a statement, wit nesses for the- state shook their heads, glanced at each other and smiled in credulously. And the same was true of the witnesses for the defense when the state's witnesses were testifying. Mrs. M. E. Becker, the complainant, was the first witness called by the state. She w.is positive in her iden tification of the defendant as the bold young woman who entered her store and made away with a suit of cloth ing, the price of which was $37.50. 8he told of the theft and related not only a clear &nd concise story, but remained steadfast In her identification under severe cross-questioning by Mr. Stevenson. Several of her employes also testified. Including Miss Modjeskl. Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Amms. None of the others, however, was positive In the identification, though they were emphatic that the profile, side anrl rear view of the defendant were identical with those of the woman. Descriptions of profiles, of hats and gowns and hair were promi nent features of the examination. Redding testified that he knew MiA Honlg quite well. Indeed, had been her very good friend and admitted that he at once suspected it 'was she when he was given a description of the woman who entered the Palais Royal and maAe away with the suit. A photograph of the defendant was introduced as evidence. It had been Identified by many of the employes of the Palais Royal as the picture of the woman who stole the suit. How ever, it was only a profile view, and while admitted by Miss Honig to be a picture of herself. It could not be Identified positively as that of the woman who stole the suit. Miss Honlg Proves Alibi. The defendant, in her own behalf, swore that she was in Eugene at the time of the theft and had been there several days before. She went Into detail as to her movements during the time preceding and following the theft. Her statement were corroborated by all the witnesses forjhe defense. In her behalf, her mother, and a number of friends from Eugene, were present as witnesses. Among them were Mrs. Mary E. Honlg, mother of the defendant; Mrs. George McMann, Mrs. Julia Caylor, Miss Frankle Caylor and Mrs. Claude Gaby. , A young saleswoman at Meier & Frank's testified positively that the defendant was not the woman who come to the department store and asked that a dress be charged to Harry Redding, her husband. She de scribed In detail the other woman, who had represented herself to be the wife of the hotel steward, but was positive that the defendant was not the woman. During the progress of the trial there were continual bickerings be tween the attorneys, and. as a conse quence, the conclusion was delayed un til a late hour. In rendering his de cision Judge Van Zante not only found the defendant not guilty and dismissed the case, but took occasion to declare that In his opinion she had been clearly exonerated. ' , STABS MAN 15 TIMES Bay Company employe Arrested for Attack on Butcher. John Brown, a young man employed by the Neville Bag Company, and who resides at Fourth and Oak streets, was arrested last night, charged with assault on Fred King, a butcher, who lives at the Kenyon flats, corner of Nineteenth and Washington streets. Brown, It is alleged, stabbed King no less than 15 times In an altercation which grew out of an accusation made by Brown that King, or a woman named Emma Gleason, who also rooms at this house, was guilty of stealing $15 from Brown's pockets. The police also arrested the Gleason woman last night and are .holding her on a charge of vagrancy pending closer ex amination. King and Brown were together in a saloon and King took Brown to the Glea son woman's room. While there it is al leged Brown was robbed. According to the story the police have of the affair. Brown demanded that the Gleason woman return his money. Falling to get It he appealed to King. Vho, in the meantime, had gone to his own room. King, it is said, ridiculed Brown, who drew a knife and inflicted the wounds. Dr. Rand dressed the man's Injuries. None of the wounds, he said, is serious. MAXITRS' MISTAKE!

Pellar, 291 Morrison, JeU 1th and 6tiv GUARD SALMON FRY Master Fish Warden McAllis ter Has Plans. BUILD CENTRAL HATCHERY Journey of Yonog Fish Back to Sea From Some Point on Ixwer Wil lamette Would Be Easier Than Now, He Believes. Important changes, designed to pro mote the salmon industry in the II lamette and Columbia Rv- J 1ptro" posed for next year by H. C. McAllister. Oregon's Master Fish Warden. -Foremost among these innovations is the es tablishment of a central station or hatch ery at some point on the Willamette or Columbia Rivers below the Willamette Falls at Oregon City. The object of such an arrangement, explains Master Fish Warden McAllister, is to Insure the safe Journey to tide water of salmon fry with a minimum of danger from their chler enemy, the trout, at the same time avoiding obstructions, natural and other wise, in the two streams. The capacity of the station will be suf ficiently large to accommodate the take of eggs from the different hatcheries. These will be hatched at the main sta tion, where the young fish will be fed. until the time comes to liberate them. The nearer such a station is located to tidewater, the more certain It is that the young salmon would reach the salt water without being exposed as prey to trout, for the length of either of the Wil lamette Or Columbia Rivers. There exists no question with fish cul turists but that under the present sys tem of liberating young fry at the dll ferent hatcheries on the' Willamette and Columbia Rivers or their tributaries, only a limited per rent of them reaches tide water. En route they serve as food for the predatory, trout, while those liber ated from hatcheries on the Willamette River and Its tributaries above the falls at Oregon City are beset with other diffi culties. During the Summer season, when the fry descend the river. It ts practically impossible for them to pass over the Willamette Falls at Oregon City. During the low water season, all of the water In the Willamette Is appro priated at Oregon City for manufactur ing purposes. Their only outlet is through the turbine wheels of the paper mills at that point, through which they are forced by the current of the river. By this process the young fish are killed. Master Fish Warden McAllister yester day declined to discuss this subject, hav ing not had an opportunity since assum ing his office to study actual conditions and observe the extent of harm resulting to the young fish as they descend tne Willamette. "There Is no question but the wheels at the paper mills destroy a great many of the young fry," said Mr. McAllister yesterday, "but until I have had a chance to Investigate actual conditions at the Willammette Falls, I would not wish to Bay to what extent the fry are injured by existing conditions. With the fishway that is maintained at the falls by the state there is no trouble for the adult fish to reach the upper Willamette River for spawning purposes, but there is no ques tion that the young salmon as they are released from the upper river hatcheries have difficulty In reaching the ocean, many of them undoubtedly not getting to tidewater at all." DEFENDS DANCE PAVILION A. Ducbamp Answers Attack on Mu nicipal Association. PORTLAND. Aug. 31. (To the Ed itor:) deferring to the letter of John Bain, secretary of the municipal league, addressed to the Mayor of this city, which appeared in the public press of recent date and in which occasion is taken to attack the good name of Council Crest and the dancing pavilion thereon, I desire to state that there is absolutely no such condition existing at this place and that there never has been since the property has been under my control. It Is inexplicable to me, to understand what motive could have prompted such a story. The authori ties as well as the Mayor himself are aware that I have taken every means in my power to keep Council Crest morally as clean as any semi-public park of this nature can be maintained. That I have succeeded in so doing can be vouched by Innumerable good citi zens who visit the place daily. There will always be some Infraction of law and order at all places of this charac ter, but it is very rare here and the po lice can bear witness to the truth of this statement. Council Crest is un derleased to me for a long period as a business proposition. I propose to transform the property into a scenic amusement park for financial revenue, at the sam time the beautifying of this spot must and will add to the attractions. It must be evident to ev ery thinking person that it would be very bad business policy to permit the alleged atrocities, etc., to which Mr. John Bain calls attention. The good gentleman, as well as other members of the league are invited to make a more careful examination of chis so called vice-breeding place and unless NIGHT NURSE Kept In Perfect Trim by Right Food. Nursing the sick is often very bur densome to the nurse. Night nursing Is liable to be even more exhausting from the fact that the demands of the system for sleep are more urgent during the night hours. A Va lady, called on to act as night nurse in the family, found the greatest support from the use of Grape-Nuts food. She says: "Our acquaintance with Grape-NuU began eight years ago. We bought the first package sold In this place, and although we began as skeptics we be came converts to its striking food value. "I used Grape-Nuts first, to sustain me when doing night nursing for a member of the family. I ate a tea spoonful at a time and by slowly chewing it I was able to keep awake and felt no fatigue. "Soon I grew to like Grape-Nuts very much and after out patient re covered I was surprised to find that I was not at all 'worn out' on account of broken rest. My nerves were strong and steady and my digestion fine. This was the more surprising because I had always suffered with weak nerves and indigestion. My experience was so satisfactory that other members of the family took up Grape-Nuts with like results." "There's a Reason'." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

James Johnson, driver of an Ice wagon, suffered painful Injuries yes terday morning as the result of a col lision of a streetcar and his wagon. He was driving across the tracks of the Oregon Electric Company at Hamil ton avenue and Kelly street, when the vehicle was struck and he was thrown to the ground. Dr. C. H. Wheeler was in the vicinity at the time and attended the man. He was removed to Good Samaritan Hos pital, where hie Injuries are not con sidered serious. It is said the embank ments above the tracks shut off the view so completely that motormen on the Salem line are unable to see a wagon or team, approaching at the Hamilton-avenue crossing.
