Is the 12th wheat ship for the month
of October and the total grain ex
ports, including flour and barley,
amount to 1.SSS.S40 bushels.
Of this amount the wheat is only
a few bushels under l.oOO.COO bushels.
Before the end of the month this fig
ure will pass the i.000.000 bushels
mark. California exports have been
heavy and the month will break all
records for early season shipping. Pu
ret Sound will fall below worse than for
the month of September, when the
combined ports were 500.000 bushels
lower than Portland.
No lumber has been set afloat for
eign during the month. Several ves
sels are under charter and one or
two mav possibly get away before
November 1. Coastwise lumber busi
ness is picking up and mill men and
owners of steam schooners look for
a speedy revival of trade In that di
rection. Irrigation projects in the
Southwest will create a large demand
for Oregon fir.

BARBER ACCUSES
PRESIDENT LEABO
Declares in Boycott Case That
He Used State Office
for Union.
CHARGE IS FLATLY DENIED
That Examiner Refused to Issue
License Unless Applicant Join
Organized Labor, Is Assert
ed in Affidavit.
That T. M. Leabo, a member of the
State Board of Barber Examiners, and
also corresponding financial secretary of
the local barbers' union, has used his
office on the State Board to further the
Interests of the union, is the charge made
in affidavits on file in the Circuit Court.
It Is alleged in an affidavit made by
Hugh Stevens, that when he applied to
Leabo for a permit to work at the barber
trade in Oregon, as provided by the Ore
gon law, he was Informed that he must
first Join the union.
Stevens says he then told Leabo that
he had no position, but was 'looking for
one. He alleges that Leabo told him he
would be black-balled In Oregon if he
went to work for either of the shops of
William G. Jones, in the Fenton building,
at M Sixth street, and at' 266 Alder street.
Stevens also tells about J1000 which he as
serts Leabo said the union had on hand
with whic4t to put the two shops out of
business, and that, if it came to a show
down, the money would go to buy dyna
mite. President of Enion Replies.
F. W. Tritschler. president of the local
barbers' union, has filed with the Clerk
of the Circuit Court a counter affidavit.
In which lie says that "to my knowl
edge he (Leabo) has never refused either
a license or a permit to any barber for
the reason that he was not a member of
the union; and that said Leabo never said
anything to such applicants about the
union, or about joining the union, until
after the permit had either been granted
or denied." Tritschler also asserts that
Leabo does not discriminate between
union and nonunion barbers In granting
permits.
These affidavits were Introduced before
Presiding Judge Gantenbeln yesterday
afternoon. The case was that In which
William G. Jones is seeking to have the
Injunction against the local union, re
cently Issued upon the order of Judge
Morrow, strengthened in some points, and
made perpetual. The suit is against
Local No. 75, Journeymen Barbers' In
ternational Union of America, T. M.
Leabo, as a member of the State Board
of Barber Examiners of Oregon; J. D.
Richardson, Frank Todhunter, Harry
Gilmore and Valney Irving.
Attorneys W. C. Bristol and Martin
Watrous appeared before the court in
behalf of Jones, while Gus Moser argued
for the defendant union and Its officers
and pickets, the latter being the last four
defendants named above.
Contentions Made by Jones.
Briefly stated Jones' allegations are
that he reduced the wages in his shops
below the union standard on July 13.
The union men In his employ then walked
out, and tlie union declared a boycott.
Pickets were sent out, and, according
to Jones, the union men congregated
about his shops In such numbers as to
resemble a mob. Particularly waa this
true, he says, on Saturdays, usually the
barbers' busiest day. As a result trade
was diverted, so his profits in September
fell off ISfiO.
As a result of the intimidations of the
pickets, Jones says, he lost nine em
ployes. Sandwich mcrv paraded up and
down the street, while others handed
out match boxes bearing legends calcu
lated to keep patronage from Jones. Be
sides all this Jones says the crowd out
side was In the habit of yelling "scab"
loud enough to be heard Inside, and to
annoy his customers, his employes and
himself. His appealB to Mayor Lane,
Chief of Police Gritzmacher. City At
torney Kavanaugh and District Attorney
Cameron did no good, he says.
It is the contention of the attorneys
for Jones that the union lias no right to
boycott any shop. In support of their
contention they cited to the court sev
eral cases decided by Eastern courts, in
which injunctions were issued against
boycotting.
Besides Stevens, affidavits were made
by Frank Berry, Harry Bartlett, Frank
Buckio and J. H. Velie. Mr. Berry says
that he was accosted at one of the non
union shops, and that the word "scab"
was used. Bartlett and Mr. Buckio say
that two men were called out of one of
Jones' shops after entering, and escorted
to another barber shoa.
Attorney Moser, for the defendant
union, denied first that Mr. Jones is
the owner of the two shops, and then
argued that the union has a right to con
duct a boycott. He had not completed
his argument when the hour for adjourn
ment came last night, and the case will
be continued this morning.
DECIDE MYERS WILL CASE
Webster Ready to Pass onv Contest
or $300,000 Estate.
County Judge L. R. Webster will de
cide the George T. Myers will case this
morning at 10 o'clock. The contest of
Mvers' will on the ground that he was
acting under an Insane delusion regarding
his daughter, Mrs. George Frances Ste
vens, when he signed it, was begun last
Spring. The trial dragged for several
months, and at Its close Judge Webster
took the case under advisement..
The decision of the court involves the
disposition of property worth about $300.
000. When Myers, who owned a large
salmon canning business, and was at one
time a member of the Oregon Legisla
ture, died he left the entire estate to his
eon, George T. Myers. Jr. Mrs. Stevens
had expected that she would receive a
part of the estate. During the trial last
Summer It developed that the elder My
ers believed that Dr. S. A. Robinson, who
was employed to treat Myers' wife, did
not properly diagnose her case, and that
she died as a result. Testimony was
given to the effect that the aged man be
lieved Dr. Robinson had been employed
because of Mrs. Stevens' wishes. He was
said to have often upbraided himself for
permitting Dr. Robinson to continue with
the case.
In deciding whether or not the will Is
valid. Judge Webster will be obliged to
say whether or not Mr. Myers was sane
when he signed the instrument.'
SAYS HE CANNOT SEE CHILDREN
Contested Divorce Suit of Barton
Family Before Judge Bronaugh.
Judge Bronaugh, in the Circuit Court,
listened yesterday to the contested divorce
case of Frank G. Barton and Susie C.
Barton. Both parents want the custody
of the two children. They married March
13. 1902. but have been separated since
September, 1S05. "
The suit was filed by Barton. He told
the court yesterday that his wife signed
an agreement of separation in 19C&. but
said that the first time he called to see
his children there was trouble. He says
that his wife has poisoned their minds
against him and that he thinks -his wife
has taught them, he will kidnap theni it
he has the chance. When .he could not see
them at home, he began to meet them on
the street-corner as they came from
school. Then Mrs. Barton, says the hus
band, told the children to avoid him, and
informed the principal of the school that
under no circumstances was their father
to visit them.
The wife on the other hand says that
Barton constantly nagnvd at her and the
children while ha was at home, and acted
as If they bored him. She says he took
her to live on a ranch out from Vancou
ver, Wash., where there were no comforts,
and that when she returned to Portland
he -accused her of Infidelity. Tiach parent
says the other deserted. As the evidence
had not all been presented. Judg Bro
naugh continued the case until this morn
ing at 9:30.

KELLY
TESTIFIES
Grand Jury Has Hearing of Evi
dence Regarding Martin Trial.
"Bunco" Kelly was before the Oc
tober Grand Jury yesterday on a sub
pena, and was questioned regarding
the Martin . case. This investigation
Is being conducted by the Grand Jury
In spite of the fact that Edward Hugh
Martin has been convicted of the slay
ing of Nathan Wolff In the latter's
First-street pawnshop. Kelly told the
talesmen of a conversation he had
with the convict Charlton while he
was In the penitentiary, and how the
latter threatened to wreak vengeance
on Wolff.
Martin will not be taken to the
Penitentiary probably until this Winter
or next Spring. His attorneys.' Fouts
and Jeffrey, have been allowed 30
days in which to file a motion for a
new trial. This will then be set for
hearing, which will doubtless take 15
days.
Should the motion be denied, the
attorneys will then file notice of ap
peal to the Supreme Court, as they
have decided that It will be best to
take the case up. The ground for the
appeal will be the verdict was out of
harmony with the evidence. Pending
the decision of the Supreme Court oti
the appeal a stay of execution will be
asked.

PROBE FEED DEALS
R. Andrews Attacks Methods
of Battalion Chief.
PARTIALITY CHARGE MADE
Fire Department Official Supports
His Accusation That Contractor
Provided Inferior Straw for
City Service During August.
Mayor Lane and members of the Ex
ecutive Board gave three hours yester
day to further investigation of charges
filed by Battalion Chief Stevens, of the
Fire Department, against R. Andrews,
who holds the city contract for fur
nishing feed. It Is alleged by Stevens
that Andrews refused or failed, at least
to provide good straw for the service
during August, and that other difficul
ties had been experienced In securing
proper feed for the department. While
this appears to be a mater of small
consequence, it has relation to a gen
eral probing of the Fire Department
that has been commenced by the Exe
cutive Board, to determine whether a
"square deal" is being gvlen contrac
tors, and if It Is not, who Is responsible.
Andrews declares that he has been
made the victim of all kinds of annoy
ance by Chief Stevens, and Introduced
witnesses yesterday afternoon to prove
that Stevens rejected one carload of
straw on the track and accepted the
identical straw In another man's ware
house. At 7 o'clock the case was closed
and was taken under advisement.
The most damaging evidence adduced
during the Investigation was the ad
mission by Chief Stevens himself that
while he Is charged with the duty of
inspecting all food and similar supplies
for the department, he has no means of
checking upon the deliveries so as to
prove whether a contractor has deliv
ered inspected goods. The fact that
Chief Stevens accepted the carload of
straw from a warehouse which he re
jected on the car, is another feature
that will probably carry weight with
the Mayor and members of the Board.
If they are satisfied that Stevens did
this, it seems certain they will take ac
tion to have him transferred to some
other duty. Another thing that Is pe
culiar Is as to why a battalion chief
should be assigned as feed Inspector,
and then have no system of marking
inspected supplies so the house cap
tains can tell whether inspected goods
are being delivered.
Stevens Acted Under Orders.
The testimony of Chief Stevens him
self, also showed that the members of
the old fire committee, since resigned,
ordered Stevens to accept some straw
from Andrews which was unsatisfactory
to Stevens, and which the latter refused
to pass upon until so ordered by the
committee, composed or aiarcus
Fleischner, L. T. Peery and Richard
Wilson. Mr. Peery appeared and testi
fied on behalf of Chief Stevens, and ad
mitted these statements as to poor
straw being accepted by the order of
the committee, but explained that the
Btations were out of bedding and had
to have some quickly.
Chief Stevens sought to tlirow upon
Mayor Lane some of the responsibility
for straw that was rejected, but tho
Mayor refused to accept any blame,
saying that he told Stevens he himself
was the man to determlna the quality
of the goods. In the office of the
Mayor, one day, Andrews and Stevens
met with Mayor Lane and talked over
the trouble of straw.
"Mr. Andrews said that tf his straw
was not as good as any In the city, he
would buy better straw, and asked
Chief Stevens where any better could
be had," said Mayor Lane. "Chief Ste
vens refused to tell Mr. Andrews, al
though saying he knew of better
straw. I asked Chief Stevens why he
refused to give the Information, and
he said that, If he told Mr. Andrews
once, it would be necessary to teVl him.
always. I then asked Chief Stevens
what he would do for bedding, and he
replied that he would go and buy Itf
himself. I said, 'Very well, but b.
very careful where and what you buyj,
for it's up to you to decide.' "
Mayor Denies All Blame.
Mayor Lane said that he looked at
some straw at Chief Stevens." requcuyt
In a warehouse, and that it had chaff
in It, but the Mayor said he did not
pass Judgment upon it, that being tihe
duty of Chief Stevens. The Mayor sid
he will hold Chief Stevens to the re
sponsibility In the rejection or accept
ance of the supplies for- the depar t
ment, and will not take any respon
sibility upon himself.
Considerable surprise was manifes, ted
when Chief Stevens said that, when,' Mr.
