Talbot, out' ward bound for Manila. . yesterday, and the vessel will sail across the Pacific without the aid of men supplied by the Coast Sailors' Union. A crew was shipped Saturday but the men were co.rc-ed into leaving the vessel Sunday by officers and members of the Union, who hoped to put coasting sailors on board the schooner bound off shore. Captain Knudsen took his men through the regu lar boarding-house. Trouble began Supday morning at the dock of the Portland Lumber Company when a committee of Union men showed up and tried to board the schooner. They were stood off by the master and mates until noon when the men finally pre vailed on the crew to desert. Both desert Ing sailors and officers of the Union are now In trouble: the former for leaving the ship and the latter for Inducing sail ors to desert. Harbormaster Speler Is handling the case with a view to stopping the practices of the Union in Interfering with the otf-shore business. The Wm. H. Talbot carries S4S.915 feet of lumber, valued at for Manila. Prior to arriving In the Columbia on the last voyage, the Talbot was engaged In carrying coal to Dutch Harbor from Na-nalmo. RATES TO ORIENT TO STAND Trans-Pacific Lines Fail to Agree on New Tariff. 6 BATTLE. Nov. IS. Representatives of the trans-Pacific liners met today to discuss the question of steerage rates between this coast. Japan and China. The lines attending the conference were: Canadian Pacific. Pacific Mall. Great Northern. Nippon Yusen Kalsha. Water-fcouse-Weir. (Van Steamship Company and China Mutual Steam Navigation . onipany. The trst three lines under the arree- nient charge J.,1 for steerage passage, w-htle the other were allowed a rate of H3.50. owing to less regular sailings and slower steamers. The standard lines de sired to have an even rate established, claiming that regular service brought them no additional business. The con Terence finally decided to leave rates as at present. - Another session will be held In Feb ruary to discuss the matter further. This meeting will be at the call of Chair man A. B. Calder. general agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Those at tending were: Holt line. A. Stewart. A. F. Haines, K. J. Manlon and Norman Hardy: Water-fiouse-Welr. V. D. Benson. F. M.

Light & Power Company, yester- Cl iy approved the order for commencing w orK on the new underground conduit 4) .-stem in the business ditrlct. Work will ti . begun on First street and the conduit 111 be laid from Pine to Burnslde streets, 1 .'here new pavement Is now being put i lown. The crews will then move to , Alder and Washington streets, working up both these thoroughfares from First ' so as to getson both sides of the sub station at Seventh and Alder streets. It is expected to have the wires In the business district placed underground by September 1, 1909, and the new conduit system will cost the company not less than 11,250.000. Upon the installation of the conduits in the business district and the placing of tlie wires underground, a new sub station will be built, at First and Jeffer son streets, that will carry the street lighting and railway load south of Wash ington street, while the load north of Washington will be handled from the steam station on Sherlock avenue. The machinery and apparatus at the present substation, at Seventh and Alder streets, will be taken out entirely and new machinery and an Immense storage battery will be Installed. By means of the storage battery, there will be no breaks In th service. Should the power fail at any time, the storage battery will supply electricity until the break In the system Is repaired. While the current is supplied from the usual sources, power will be pumped Into the storage battery continuously and when the current Is off. the battery will release its captive energy. This apparatus will cost not less than Jl.'O.OOO and the officials say it will add to the certainty and the balancing of the service. Orders are now being placed in the Bast for the conduit and cable needed to build the underground system. The second new generator to replace the ruined machinery in the Cazadero power station has been Installed and Is now In operation. The third generator is on ita way West from Omaha and will be In stalled by December 1, when the power station will have been entirely restored to Its former capacity. "It is remarkable." said President Jos- n. ROBBING METERS ly destroyed last June, should be com pletely restored In less than six months when it usually takes from eight months to a year to get the generators built. Tha new machines are massive and of the most Improved construction. They are nearly noiseless In operation. It re quired four freight cars to haul one generator. Those installed are of 4000 horsepower each and orders will soon be placed for another &000-horsepower turbine water wheel and another 4000-horsepower generator to place In the Caxadero station In space provided for that purpose in ad ditlon to the new apparatus. This will give the company reserve power probably two years In advance of the requirements. If anything happens to any one of our seven generating stations, the load will be carried by the others without in terruption of service, as was done at the time of the accident to the Cazadero station last June." "I have at times had' spells of bad health from colds, indigestion, headache, back ache, dizziness, nervousness and various ailments, and nave given the doctors and drug stores innumerable calls and not a few dollars, but rarely have had to go to bed. My occupation for years has been of a clerical nature. I remained on duty, with pills, powders, potions bracing me up. Not a dram taken for the dram's sake, but quite often feeling that a stimulant woud improve my feelings, I gave it a trial sometimes a bottle of whiskey filled with bitters of some kind seemed to help me. I gave Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey a trial. Now I keep a bottle on hand all the time, and would not be without it or exchange it for anything else. Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey in small or large doses, as my feelings Indicate, seems to answer every purpose and saves doctor's bills. It invariably benefits me when a languid or chilly condition seems to Indicate that a stimulant is needed. I have seldom ujed more than a bottle a month, and one bottle sometimes suffices for six months or longer. A teaspoonful revives from dizzy spells, and no more is used for days sometimes. I am 78 years of age, and for ten years Duffy's has been ,,,! with beneficial results. I still use it. Mrs. Keown and I celebrated our golden wedding on Nov. 4, 1937." U C.

Ex position Will Co-operate. As the first move in the effort to bring the Liberty Bell to Portland for the Rose Festival and to Seattle for the A.-Y.-P. exposition next year, letters are being prepared by President R. W. Hoyt, of the Festival Association, directed to the Mayor of Portland and members of the City Council, urging them to take suit able action memorializing the Common Council of Philadelphia in behalf of this patriotic object. Obstacles must be overcome. That is assured, for it haS already been ascer tained that some time ago the city of Philadelphia decided that It would never How the relic to leave Its present rest- Ing place. The hope is that sufficient pressure can be brought by the Joint ac tion of the municipal governments of Portland and Seattle working in con junction with the Rose Festival and Se ttle Fair managements to overcome this decision. The attempt, earnest and vigor ous, will be made. In addition to the movement above outlined, the proprietors and editors of the press of the two chief cities of the Northwest will be asked to act as committee to go to Philadelphia and use their influence with the press of that city. In case they cannot go. they -will be urged to take the matter up with the editors and publishers of the Philadelphia newspapers. Millions of people of the United States and in fact the entire poulation of the West has never seen the famous tocsin which rang out the world-reaching mess age 132 years ago, and it is almost a certainty that every city through which the Liberty Bell passed on its long Jour ney to the Pacific Slope would turn out en masse to welcome Its arrival. A public appeal to the people of the en tire Northwest to Join hands In this great movement wiil be issued by the Portland Rose Festival and the call will be supple mented by another and similar one from 8eat:le.

Urban, two Salem young men, were sent to Jail by Municipal Judge Van Zante. yesterday forenoon, for tapping a gas meter. The young prisoners are bridegrooms of two weeks, having married twin sisters at a double wedding in Salem. The brides were left alone at their apartments, 525 Russell street. The necessity for practicing rigid econ omy was what brought on the acts that led to the arrest of the young bride grooms. After the double wedding at Salem the two couples came to Portland. Their principal capital was a great confi dence that the future would take care of itself. The brides, formerly Bessie and Bertha Bass, twin sisters 18 years old. decided that until the financial horizon became clearer it would be best for all four to occupy small apartments Jointly and share the expenses. As trained cement workers, the youthful grooms thought their services would be in demand here, but they were not. work waa scarce and the honeymoon was be ing cut short by grim necessity. They did the cooking on a little gas stove in the two rooms occupied on Russell street. Quarters becoming scarce, Stevenson proposed that some method of tapping the gas meter be devised. An examlna tion of the cash lock was made and they discovered that by whlttllngout a thin, pliable piece of soft cedar. It was possible to spring the lock. In this way they could deposit a 25-cent piece, set the gas to flowing, and then recover their money. But -when the meter collector came around the trouble broke. For the meter man found nothing in the meter and no ticed that 1300 feet of gas had been used. He accused the young men of tapping the meter. They admitted it, and by or der of the Portland Gas Company com plaints were sworn out charging " them with larceny. In the Municipal Court yesterday morn Ing. they did not deny having misappro priated the gas. but said they looked upon it as a prank on the gas company rather than as a crime. 'I do not believe this is a bad case at all," Judge Van Zante said. "I'm In clined to make it easy for you and, while It is customary to imprison persons con victed of larceny, yet I am Inclined to let you young men off on small fines. You will pay 125 apiece." When they were taken down to the Police Station to pay their fines the ser iousness of their plight dawned upon them. Neither had a penny. The few nickels left of their community fortune had been given to the brides and this money could not be touched. Besides it was not sufficient to pay the fine. Police Captain Bailey, having no dis cretion in the .matter, since the court had passed on the case, turned the prisoners over to Jailer Branch. And when the daily squad of prisoners charged with state crimes were sent to the County Jail, the two Salem bridegrooms were' a part of the squad. 'Twelve days apiece in the County Jail the equivalent of paying your nnes." was the crushing Information tney re ceived on inquiring of Jailer Hunter -at the County Jail. 'What's going to become of our wives? they asked in one voice. Realizing by this time that their plight was a desperate one. Urban decided to appeal to his - father, an engineer, for financial help. The elder Urban responded late In the afternoon and paid the I2S necessary for his son's release. But ..e was not willing to pay for Stevenson, who was left in the corridor occupied by convicted thieves. Toung Urban, on leav ing the jail, assured his fellow bride groom that he would do everything in his powsr to raise the fine money and that Preparations Made by Portland Methodist Ministerial Asociation. Bishop W. S. Lewis will be received by Portland Methodists in royal style when he reaches the city. The date of his arrival Is indefinite, but it is ex pected that he will reach here the latter part of this month or early In Decern ber. He is now in attendance at the meetings of the general committees of the church, and will come West as soon as he can so arrange. He will be the resident Bishop, with episcopal head quarters at Portland. When the Portland Methodist Minis terial Association convened In Taylor street Church yesterday morning. Pres ident C. E. Cline advised that something be done to welcome Bishop Lewis in fitting manner. Dr. D. A. Watters moved that a committee of five, with Dr. Cline as chairman, -be named to ar range the matter. Dr. Cline appointed Dr. J. W. McDougall. pastor of. Mount Tabor Church; Dr. Watters. of Patton Church; Dr. W. H. Heppe, of Grace Church, and Dr. S. H. Dewart, of St. John Church. This committee will confer with the laymen in arranging an appropriate reception to the Bishop. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Rev. J. T. Abbott, the debate on the question of a change in the making of ministerial appointments was post poned. Instead.'Dr. Heppe read a paper on "The Touchstone -of Religious Thought." - It- was- a scholarly paper, and was favorably commented upon by many of the -ministers. Dr. H. B. John son, superintendent of Japanese mis sions on the Pacific Coast, was present, but because of a lack of time, did not speak. Will Use New Depot. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 16. (Spe cial.)

A peculiar feature of poslam, a new skin discovery, is that it is. naturally flesh-colored and contains no grease, so that when used on the face for the com plexion, or for pimples, red noses, or any othr inflammation, blemishes, or discoioratlons, - its presence cannot be detected. It can thus be applied in the daytime, the natural color of the skin being immediately restored and the actual healing and curing process accomplished in a few days. It can be had of any pharmacist who sells pure drugs. The, Skldmore' Drug Co. makes a specialty of It. Fifty cents' worth will answer either for the trou bles mentioned or in curing ordinary cases of eczema. Itching stops at once. The Kmergency Laboratories. No. 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York, are- the sole dispensing agents -for poslam in the United States, and will send an experimental quantity free by mall In plain wrapper to all who write for it. This will show results after an overnight application. WEAK MM MY SUCCESS IS PROOF THAT MY METHODS ARE CORRECT The proof of a physician's ability is to be found in the results he obtains, and though I am not at liberty to supply individual names of patients as references, the marks of superior skill and service are so prominent and con spicuous as to render my doing so unnecessary. Kstlmate for yourself my volume of practice as compared with the practice of other physicians. Is there the slightest probability that If unable to back up all my claims I would have won and retained the foremost place among special ists treating men? Could I fall to cure and yet succeed as I have? Have you ever heard of a promise of mine remaining unfulfilled, or of one of my patients being dissatisfied? Consider these things, and then come and consult me in regard to your case. -I Largest and Strongest in the West Dr. Taylor's offices are established In Portland, Seattle.

"Weakness I am confident that I have cured more cases of so-called "weakness" than any other physician. There may be doctors in the large Kast ern cities who have TREATED more cases than I. but they cling to the old and Ineffective practice of djoslng with tonics. "Weakness" Is merely a symptom of local dis order that requires local treat ment.

Main 671, A 84C7 OLD S Before any sore can heal, the cause which produces it must be removed. As long as the blood, from which our systems receive their necessary nour ishment and strength, remains impure and contaminated with disease germs, any old sore on the body will remain open, and resist every effort made to heal it The nerves and tissues of the fleshs around the places are continu ally fed with unhealthy matter and nature is simply disposing of the poison by draining it from the system through the sore. The only cure for an old sore is a thorough cleansing of the blood, entirely ridding the system of the cause. S. S. S, heals old sores by removing every particle of impurity from the circulation. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and so com pletely cleanses the circulation that there is no longer any impurity to dram through the sore, but the place is once more nourished with rich, health ful blood, a S.
