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.

SALOONS FEAR ORDINANCES
PROPOSED REGULATIONS WILL
RESTRICT BUSINESS.
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

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.

that one man In every four Is afflicted with

Why Other Doctors Do Not Cure
I want you to notice In particular how silent other specialists
on the subject of MEN'S WEAKNESS. They pass the subject over be
??ue they can offer no positive cure for it. Those who undertake to
treat it resort to powerful drugs, elastic belts or some other mf-clip-trap
which, instead of curing, only aggravate the ailment Nearly
every day I am called upon to treat cases that other specialists or
famlW nhvslclans ha"ve treated and railed to cure. In nearly every in
state! I find it necessary to first rid the patient of the almost ruinous
effects of the treitmenti they have received at the hands of unski led
medical men But I guarantee to cure every man whose case I accept
for treatment. I make it a strict rule to treat no incurable cases,
and I amalways willing to wait : for my fee unt.l a cure ; 1- oKected.

When the blood la pure and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth, and
free from all blemishes and eruptions; but when some acid humor takest
root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of
skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength
from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-ladea
stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin,
but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate
tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition.
External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial
only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping1 the parts
clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors
that are causing the trouble. S. S. S. drives out the humors from the blood
so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, i3 nourished by a
healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and
removes every particle of impure matter, all acids and humors, and restores
the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin
disease or affection. Book on skin diseases- and any medical advice free to
