14 TIIE MORXIXG OREGOyiAX. TUESDAY, 23, I9Q8. - LO N GSHDREMEN TO AFFILIATE UNIONS Delegates From All Pacific Coast Organizations Meet Behind Closed Doors. SESSION ENDS TOMORROW Officials Refuse to Make Known Business, but It Is Reported Fed eration Expected to Engage In Stevedoring. Representatives of the various locals of the Longshoremen's Union are in convention in the Union Hall of this city. The meeting is being held behind closed doors and will continue until 'tomorrow afternoon. Officials and del egates refuse to divulge any Informa tion regarding the object of the meet ing or of any action taken. The principal object of the meeting, it was learned from authentic sources, Is to effect an amalgamation of all the local unions on the Coast, and to bring the management of affairs under one head. An effort will be made aleo to establish stevedoring Arms, to be oper ated by the unions and under the direc tion of the head of the affiliated locals. The stevedoring branch of the union will have offices In every port on the Coast, provided the proposed plan car ries. Portland has two local unions. No. 264 has to deal only with the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company and the vessels operated by the Portland A Asiatic Steamship Company. Local No. 165 loads and discharges all sailing ves sels, coasting craft and tramps. Three weeks ago the members of No. 265 signed contracts for two years with the local stevedoring firms. For a specified hourly rate and an additional amount for overtime and holidays, the long shoremen agreed to discharge and load any and all vessels coming Into and sailing from Portland, regardless of labor conditions existing in other ports. The signing of the contract was the result of an understanding between local stevedoring firms and member of the union. A strike was on at Puget Sound ports, and Portland laborers Issued an ultimatum to the effect that they would not work any vessel either entering or clearing from Puget Sound with whole or part cargo. For a time the condition was serious and the sign ing of the contract was the signal for rejoicing among local shippers. The result of the present meeting is anx iously awaited. DREDGE OREGON AT COOS BAY Government Craft Readies Xorth Bend Minus Smokestacks. The United States Engineers' dredge Oregon, which left Astoria several days ago In tow of the tug Columbia, has arrived at North Bend. The dredge lost both stacks In crossing In over the Coos Bay bar and it will be necessary to replace these before the craft goes Into commission. Orders will be Issued today from the local office for the con struction of new stacks. It was orig inally Intended to send the boat South before placing the stacks In position. This order was countermanded and the craft sent to sea with stacks standing. Captain T. J. SlacGenn, master of the steamship Breakwater, on arrival hee from Coos Bay, reported to The Oregonlan that he had passed the dredge a few miles north of the en trance to Coos Bay. proceeding south at a slow rate of speed. The bar was ajlttle lumpy at that time and Captain MacGenn was of the opinion that the dredge would not pass In until high water Sunday. It was not until 11 o'clock yesterday morning that the dredge reached North Bend. A dispatch to the En gineer's office stated that the Oregon had arrived with no other damage ex cepting the loss of the smoke stacks.

Sew Rules Submitted to City Council Are Expected to Provoke Lively Discussion. Without recommendation, the proposed ordinances by Councilman Wills, pre scribing four walls and no regulation fur nishings such as now exist as the proper kind of a saloon, and prohibiting any but actual owners of licenses to conduct saloons, were sent to the City Council by order of the liquor-license committee yes terday arternoon. The measure drafted to exclude women from saloons will also go before the main body In the same manner, v The committee recommended the revo cation of W. Teaboe's license for selling liquor on Sunday at his saloon, 184 Market street, and dismissed the charges of misconduct against M. So hie be, pro prietor of a saloon at 174 Front street, and W. Woodward, keeper of a saloon at 160 Grand avenue. The proposed measures regarding the regulation of saloons are certain to pro voke a lively discussion when they come up for action by the City Council to morrow. The ordinance to keep women from saloons has been buffeted about for many weeks, end its fate Is said to be sealed. That It will not become a law, at least In anything like its present form, seems a fact. It was loaded with amend ments of such drastic nature when it was before the Council that its own friends would not vote for It. It will be up this time on its second introduction. The saloon interests are fighting the Wills ordinance, which makes radical changes in conditions in saloons. It eliminates everything that makes of the saloon a lounging-place, takes away the curtains, paintings, chairs, tables and all obstructions to the public view and makes of it simply an open drinking place.. As to the ordinance prohibiting the power of attorney In the holding of licenses, there is an amendment to be In troduced by Councilman Cottel, which excepts the president. secretary and treasurer of corporations. This is -regarded with suspicion by some of the Councllmen. who think it is only a means to defeat the object of the ordinance. The brewers are In control of a large number of saloon licenses at present, and the retail dealers are In favor of pro hibiting the power of attorney system, by which the brewers maintain their hold on the situation. PCSTOFFICE THIEF WANTED Police and Government Operatives Investigate Robbery of Stations. The police and United States secret service operatives are trying to run down an unknown postoiflce burglar who seems to have made postoffice substations in this city his specialty and who within the past month has entered four without being caught and without leaving any clew as to his identity. The -officers ad mit that they are following the trail of a clever man. The last of these attempts was made Sunday night at the drugstore of E. B. Jones, at SO0 Front street, who conducts substation No. 1. The thief, who entered the place by forcing the front door with a "Jimmy," must have been frightened away, as nothing was found missing yesterday morning. All the previous attempts during the month were successful. The drugstore of A. W. Allen, at Sixteenth and Mar shall streets, was robbed twice and that of Fabian Byerly, at 401 JefTerson street, once, during this time, the robber secur ing stamps and money on the various occasions valued at more than J100. As no effort to dispose of the stamps In large quantities has been made and no clews save the marks on the doors have been' discovered, the officials do not seem to be hopeful about catching the mys terious criminal. SAYS INSPECTOR IS 'INTERESTED' Ludlow Agent Surprises Fire . Committee at Hydrant Inquiry. RESPONSIBILITY OF MAYOR City Executive Explains That He Did Not Realize Extent of His Duty Before the Investigation. Walter O. Haines, representing the Ludlow Valve & Manufacturing Com pany, makers of fire hydrants and similar supplies, created a sensation at a special meeting of the fire committee of thj City Executive Board yesterday afternoon, by stating that he had heard "from three sources" that Walter Phil lips, hydrant Inspector for the Portland Fire , Department, was "financially in terested" In what are known as "Port land hydrants," a brand made in this city. He also declared that he had been told a long time ago, and laid the matter before Mayor Lane, that "whoever tested the Ludlow, hydrants, that were to be de livered, would reject them, because of interest In another make." Mr. Haines, however, said be did not make this as a charge, but merely wished an official in vestigation of the rumors. Marcus A. Fleischner, chairman of the fire committee, said that inasmuch as Mr. Haines had made a serious state ment, a full Investigation must be made by the committee, and this will occur at the regular meeting, to be held next Thursday afternoon. Mr. Phillips enters an emphatic denial of the charges, and says they are absurd. Chief Campbell declares that Mr. Phillips "is too honest to stoop to such business," and vouches for his innocence. Hydrants and the Chief. Chief Campbell seems to be the object of the Investigation relative to why 85 hydrants, furnished by Hoge & Swift, Portland agents for the Ludlow Com pany, lay on the streets of the city from May 2 to August 12, uninspected, un tested and unaccepted by the city offi cials. An investigation was ordered by a resolution introduced at the last ses sion of the Executive Board by Thorrias G. Greene. The latter was present yes terday. In the capacity of a private citi zen, he explained, when the meeting or the committee is called to order. He conducted the examination of witnesses, however. After a review of the proceedings, from the time of the awarding of the contract for the hydrants up to the present. Mayor Lane made a statement, in which he assumed all responsibility for the delay. He said he did not know that it was his duty to see that the hydrants were In spected, but he now realized It was; that In future, there will be no delays, when tests are required, as long as he remains in office. Mr. Greene, at the last meeting of the Executive Board, said that it should be made known who was respon sible for the delay, "and that whoever Is responsible, should be fired." "Responsible," Declares Major. "It was my responsibility," said Mayor Lane. "Perhaps I should be Impeached; but I did not realize it was my duty be fore tills investigation." Fire Chief Campbell, while not directly alluded to by Mr. Haines in stating his sensational rumors as to graft In con nection with the hydrants, is indirectly involved, because he assigned Phillips to make the tests. However, he does not re gard the" matter seriously. He states that at the proper time he will show that his department. Including Phillips, did right regarding the Ludlow hydrants. In making his statement of the case, Mr. Haines charged that Chief Campbell and Mr. Phillips are not qualified to make the required tests on the hydrants, as, he said, neither is a competent engineer. Chief Campbell replied that Mr. Phillips is qualified, hafng passed a civil service examination for the position. Mr. Haines contended that the hydrants as shipped from the factory in the East were all right, but that S3 of them were left in the open street, exposed to the elements, and that in this manner the packing be came defective. That, he said, was the only defect, and that was remedied promptly, he said. He declared that his company had lived up to its contract fully, and had spent 1657 on the hydrants after receiving them here, because of the many complaints lodged against the hydrants by Mr. Phillips. Warning About Rejection. "The fact of the matter is." said Mr. Haines, "we were told before the hy drants reached here that they would prob ably be rejected, as the man who would make the tests was financially interested In the Portland hydrants. We started out to Investigate, to see If this could be correct, and In the course. of the In vestigation, we received information from three ways that it was so. We reported this to Mayor Lane, who has apparently not seen fit to say anything about it, up to this time; but. in view of the trouble we have had In this deal, we feel that it ought to be laid before the fire committee and an Investigation ordered. I do not charge that Mr. Phillips or any one else was financially interested, but the matter is one which should be investigated and cleared up. Personally, I will say freely that I will be only too glad If Mr. Phillips is found to be Innocent." "The matter was brought to my at tention," said Mayor Lane, "but they told me that Mr. Phillips was to receive 60 cents for every hydrant rejected, and I thought he was not going to get enough." Reports Will Be Shown. Those present indulged In a laugh over the Mayor's remark, and the Executive continued by saying that he was unable to secure anything definite on the sub ject, and that It waa virtually forgotten. He said he would produce the reports that were submitted about it. when the time comes for the Investigation by the committee. As to placing the responsibility for the delay in testing and accepting the fire hydrants. It would have been Impossible, had not Mayor Lane volunteered to ac cept the responsibility himself. Chief Campbell blamed the contractors, saying they should have notified the Water De partment; the contractors said they did notify the department, and there seemed to be no means of arriving at a conclu sion as to who, if anyone, neglected his duty. Thomas G. Greene, who began the in vestigation by his resolution, expressed himself as being greatly humiliated over the hydrant matter. He said he assured the members of several East Side push clubs, during the recent hydrant famine, that the city had no hydrants on hand, when, as a matter of fact, the 85 were lying for three months with no efTort to test them. Join in Trip to Japan. Three Portland business men will par ticipate In the commerj-Jal excursion to Japan by the Pacific Coast Chambers of Commerce. They will leave Portland to- day and tomorrow for San Francisco, where they will sail on the steamer Tenyo Maru next Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock for Japan. The party will arrive at Honolulu on the morning of October 1. and an opportunity will be given for the party to go ashore and see that city. Upon arrival in Japan, which is sched uled for October 13, three days before the coming of the American battleship fleet In Japanese waters, the commercial ex cursionists will be welcomed by the vari ous Japanese trade organizations, and lavish entertainments have been planned in their honor. Jaunts to various places of interest about Japan are on the pro gramme, as well as banquets and trips to the centers of trade of the island em pire. It Is expected that the trip will accomplish much in bringing about closer commercial relations between the Pacific Coast and the Mikado's empire. Mem bers of the excursion may return home when they please. The first steamer to return after the purposes of the Jaunt shall have been accomplished will leave Yokohama on November 4. This is the day following the celebration of the Em peror's birthday, when special festivities will be held throughout Japan. O. M. Clark, of the Clark-Wilson Lum ber Company, and Julius Friendly, of Rosenthal & Co.. will make the trip from Portland, and there will be one other whose name has not yet been announced. The Portland Chamber of Commerce is arranging the details ' for the Portland excursionists. THREE CASES ON APPEAL FEDERAL TRIBUNAL ADJOURNS AFTER DAY'S SESSION. Motlon for New Trial of Xickell Case Is Most Important Matter Cinder Consideration. After hearing arguments In three ap peal cases, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit late yesterday afternoon adjourned the September term of court for this dis trict to meet in San Francisco October 5. The court, which consists of Judges William B. Gilbert, of Portland; Erskine M. Ross, of" Los Angeles, and William W. Morrow, of San Francisco, will hold a special session in San Fran cisco September 28. Judges Ross and Morrow, accompanied by Meredith Sawyer, deputy clerk of the court, left last night for California. Judge Gil bert will leave Thursday, in order to reach San Francisco In time for the special session of. the Circuit Court, which is to be convened Monday morn ing. One of the cases appealed and in which tne court yesterday heard argu ment and took under advisement was that of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company against Walter A. Bonner. In this case Bonner sued the paper company for personal damag.es sus tained two years ago while in the- em ploy of tho company at Its mill in Oregon City. In the trial of the case Judge Wolverton declined to Instruct the Jury to return a directed verdict for the defendant corporation and the Jury returned a verdict for $1250 for the Injured lad. It was from this ver dict that the paper company appealed the case to the Court of Appeals. Another appeal case was that of States against Philomme Smith et a!., and was a suit for the vacation of two allotments of Indian lands in the Uma tilla Indian Reservation. At the trial of the case Judge Wolverton decided for the Smith woman. During the afternoon the court heard arguments on a motion for a rehear ing in the case of tne United States against Charles Nlckell, of Jackson ville, who had been convicted of sub ornation of perjury and sentenced to 13 months' Imprisonment on McNeils Island. At the time of Nickell's al leged offense he was publishing two newspapers in Southern Oregon and at the same time was serving as United States Commissioner. On January 31, 1905, Nickell was in dicted together with Henry W. Miller and Frank E. KIncart, timber cruisers, and Martin G. Hoge, who was then City Attorney of Medtord. At the trial Miller and Kincart pleaded guilty and made complete confessions implicating Nlckell and Hoge and resulting in their conviction July 27, 1906. Hoge was sentenced to four months in the Mult nomah County Jail and to pay a fine of 3500. After completing his sentence, Hoge took the "pauper oath" and was liberated. Nlckell appealed his case and was granted a rehearing by the Court of Appeals last May. In the argument for a rehearing the only question presented was whether or not the court erred In ruling upon the admission or exclusion of evidence or the instructions to the Jury as they were affected by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the J. N. Williamson case. . At the close of the arguments the court took the case under advisement. Nlckeli and his associates . were charged with procuring persons to make entry of timber lands, represent ing that they were in a position to sell the timber at 50 cents a thousand. The alleged conspirators are accused of having charged the entrymen a fee of 3125 as a commission, an advance fee of $60 being required. The quar tet was indicted following the discov ery by the Government that they did not inttnd to dov any more towards securing the land for the entrymen than to obtain the first payment of the commission money. RAILWAY TAKES AN APPEAL tJnited States Circuit Judges to Hear Freight-Rate Protest. The appeal of the Southern Pacifio Company against the Interstate Com merce Commission, involving the freight rate on lumber shipments from Willamette Valley points to San Fran cisco, will be heard by Judges Gilbert, Ross and Morrow, of the United States Circuit Court, at a special session, to be held In San Francisco next Monday.

This freight .rate controversy is known as the "Willamette Valley case.'" A year ago the Southern Pacific Com pany announced an arbitrary advance of from $3.10 to $5 a thousand on all lumber shipments from the Willamette Valley to San Francisco. Immediately the Willamette Valley Lumber Manu facturers' Association took the case be fore the Interstate Commerce Commis sion which rendered a decision several weeks ago, practically restoring the former rate. It is from this ruling that the rail road company has appealed to the Cir cuit Court of Appeals. It has been an nounced by the Harriman interests that they will resist the order of the Inter state Commerce Commission if It is necessary to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. BATTLE IS CHIEF FEATURE Indian Warfare to Be Reproduced With Wild West Show. The principal feature with Buffalo Bill's Wild West this season is a re production of the Battle of Summit Springs, one of the deciding conflicts In the Government's task of subduing the redskin. Colonel William F. Cody participated In the original battle on July 11, 1869, at Summit Springs, near the western border of Nebraska. In this battle Chief Tall Bull, who was In command of the renegade In dians, or "Dog Soldiers," as they were called, was shot and killed at a dis tance of about 40 yards, by Buffalo Bill, who shot him from his horse. This Important incident will, of course, be reproduced as a part of the realistic mimic battle. General E. A. Carr,, who was in command of the Govern ment forces; General E. M. Hayes, General William P. Hall, and other of ficers who participated In the original battle are still alive, and will be lm personatsd In the battle scene in the Wild West.
