FISHERMEN ADOPT
MJU1Y RESOLUTIONS
Meeting of Representative
Salmon Men Agrees on Mea
sures Benefitting Industry.
LONGER CLOSED SEASON
Would Extend Spring Protection
From March 1 to May 1.
. Closed Sunday May 1
to August 20.
Resolution proposing that the Spring-
closed season for salmon nshing extend
from March 1 to May 1: that there be a
closed Sunday from May 1 to August
and that the Summer closed season ex
tend from August 20 to September 10.
were adopted yesterday at a conference
of men associated with the fishing in
dustry on the Columbia River.
The resolutions, which, it was explained,
were Intended merely as an expression
of the sense of the meeting, also thanked
Governor Mead and the members of the
Fisheries Commission for the Interest
they were talcing In seeking to adjust
satisfactorily the nshing conditions In the
Columbia River and preserve this Import
ant Industry. F. A. Seufert, of The
Dalles, was the author of the resolutions,
which were opposed vigorouely by Ed.
Rosenberg, of Astoria, who sought to
confine the resolutions to a vote of thanks
?to the Washington officials and eliminate
all mention as to a closed season. Mr.
Rosenberg was badly worsted, however,
and the resolutions were adopted by a
decisive vote.
The adoption of these resolutions waa
the result of the conference which was
held at the Cornelius Hotel between a
sub-committee of the State Fisheries
Commission of the state of Washington,
which has in hand the matter of Co
lumbia River fishing, and many men re
siding in this state and engaging In the
fishing business in that river. The mem
tiers of the visiting committee were: J.
R. Burke, of Cathlamet. chairman: Hans
I'etersen. of Altoona, and Math EJde, of
Ekamokasa.
Legislation Is Considered.
The purpose of the meeting was to ob
tain an expression from the fishermen
of this state as to legislation necessary
for the protection of the Industry. Today
the committee will submit Its report at
& meeting of all of the members of the
commission, which will be held at Se
attle. Neither Chairman Burke nor his asso
ciates last night would Intimate Just what
recommendations would be made at the
Seattle meeting, but the sentiment at
yesterday's convention was decisively In
favor of legislation that will give the
Industry the protection It demands. An
effort will be made to have the. same
laws enacted by the Legislatures of both
states, to the end that In the subse
quent enforcement of Ashing laws on the
Columbia River there will be no confu
sion. TheTe was one thing on which all of
the men attending the conference were
agreed and that waa the need of reme
dial legislation, laws that will protect
fish. But there was diversity of opinion
as to how best to proceed. The gillnet
ters wanted everything to the exclusion
of the seiners, trapmen and wheelmen.'
The last named classes of fishermen
were willing to give and take on a llve-and-let-llve
basis.
F. A. Seufert. of The Dalles, wss the
first to address the conference at the
afternoon session and assured the rival
fishing Interests that If fishwheels were
a detriment to the fishing Industry, he
was willing that they should be taken
out of the river, that he did not want to
maintain anything that would prove detri
mental to the state and Its best Interests.
Mr. Seufert explained that all he wanted
was for the members of the commission
to make a thorough Investigation and
base its recommendations as to legisla
tion on existing facts and conditions.
Let Small Fish Kscape.
Hsns Kankkonen, representing the gfll
netters. advocated the need of regulating
both the dimensions of the gill and seln
nets, which, he said, should he limited to
SO feet long, while the mesh should be
such se would allow a fish weiging nine
pounds or less to escape. This argument
was based on the theory that the smaller
fish. If allowed to escape from the nets.
returned to the ocean and developed into
adults. This theory was attacked vig
orously by H. A. Webster, ex-Deputy
hsh warden In this state, who declared
that the release of these young fish did
not tend to replenish the river for the
reason, he said, that, like the adult fish,
the smaller ones develop spawning pro
pensities and die in the same manner as
the fully developed salmon.
When asked if he favored a Sunday
closed season. Mr. Kankkonen was frank
enough to admit that so long as fishing
was allowed above tide water, the gill
nettens would not advocate a weekly
closed law.
William Tallant. representing the sein
ers, said he would prohibit fishing at the
mouth of the river, and, perhaps, enact
a Sunday closed law. He maintained that
to limit the size of mesh would practi
cally put the seiners and trap-men out
or business.
F. M. Warren insisted that If the fish
are to be protected the season must be
shortened. He also favored prohibiting
bar fishing for the reason that it served
to prevent the entrance of a great many
salmon Into the river.
Oeorge Crandall wanted a closed sea
son from March 1 to May L no Ashing on
the bar and a Sunday closed law. The
proposal that the size of the mesh be
reduced, he asserted, would put all fish
ermen out of business with the exception
of a few gillnetters at Astoria.
Superintendent O'Malley Talks.
H(nry O'Malley. superintendent of the
1'nited States Bureau of Fisheries for
Oregon, was asked for suggestions, and
replied by reading a letter that had been
written by Secretary Strauss, when In
charge of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, to Senator Fulton, embody
ing the views of the Bureau of Fisheries
respecting fishing conditions In the Co
lumbia River. The recommendations
contained in that letter were four in
number, as follows: Restriction of limit
of apparatus employed In a given sec
tion: an adequate weekly closed season
covering possibly two days at first, but
reduced later if circumstances warrant
ft; an annual closed season, preferably
at the beginning of the salmon run;
Joint arrangements between states so
that protective measures might be har
monious. Mr. O'Malley considered that the
Spring closed season should extend to
May 15 and that there should be a Fall
closed season extending from August 10
to September 15. He pointed out the
need for a closed season In August,
that the late run of salmon might be
protected, by referring to the fact that
the take of salmon eggs at the hatcheries
this year was on an average about one
half of that In years when there waa
an August closed season.
Fish Commissioner Riseland. of Wash-
lngton. announced that he adhered to
the same ideas he recommended two
years ago, which Included a closed sea
son from March 1 to Blay 1, and a
Sunday closed season, which he believed
would give the fish the necessary pro
tection. Master Fish Warden McAllister was
asked to address the meeting, and In
connection with his remarks read the
recommendations made by the subcom
mittee on fisheries of the Oregon Con
servation Commission, appointed by the
Governor some time ago. The recom
mendations of this committee on the
subject of fisheries were as follows:
Various Measures Proposed.
Identical concurrent legislation with
Washington for extension of the closed
season, operation licenses and penalties.
A closed season, to extend from Jan
uary 1 to May 16.
Sunday closing during the open sea
son, of probably S hours. Including the
whole of every Sunday.
The following recommendations, sug
gested the committee, can be made ef
fective without the concurrence of any
other state:
. The Clackamas River Is pronounced
to be a practically perfect hatchery
stream. It should be closed to every
sort of commercial fishing at all sea
sons; neither pains nor expense should
be spared to promote intelligent and
practical hatchery work; protection
must be provided against the immense
slaughter of young salmon by their di
version Into Irrigating ditches; the steel
head trout should be kept out of all
hatchery streams.
Following the reading of the commit
tee's report Mr. Rosenberg sought to
discredit Its recommendations by inquir-
lnr If the chairman of the committee.
R. W. Montague, was not attorney for
the flshwheel men. This Inquiry was
promptly and emphatically answered by
Mr. Seufert and Mr. Warren, wno re
plied that such was hot the case.
Many Prominent Men Present.
The greater part of the forenoon ses
sion was taken up in an address by
H. M. Lorntsen. of Astoria, who argued
that the one essential thing to do In
the way of protecting salmon In the Co
lnmbla was to prohibit fishing above
tidewater.
Chairman Burke and his associates on
the committee. Messrs. Peterson and
Ride, left last nlitht for Seattle. They
were accompanied by several prominent

CONCRETE BRIDGE
FOUND DEFECTIVE
Executive Board Votes to Re
1 ject East Twenty-eighth-Street
Structure.
FAULT IN SPECIFICATIONS
Committee or Experts Submits Re
port Condemning Construction,
Which . Is Adopted Matter
May Be Carried to Courts.
Three ' experts engaged to Investigate
and report on the condition of the re
inforced concrete bridge across Sullivan's
Gulch, on East Twenty-eighth street, rec
ommended to the Executive Board yes
terday afternoon that the structure be
not accepted. "Poor work arid faulty
specifications." Is the gist of the com
plaint filed. The report was adopted, to
gether with a report of the committee
on bridges, asking Mayor Lane to ap
point three of the other members of the
iBoard to meet with the committee and
compile a full detailed report of the
whole proceedings.
City Engineer Taylor arose at the con
clusion of the reading of the report of
the special committee of experts, who
were paid 1SO0 of city funds for their
work, and said that since the report was
accessible, he would like to see It a
little later and added, "It will probably
be experted, too" He said that all he
desires is to secure a good bridge, and
It is known that he believes the bridge
Is a good one. notwithstanding the ad
verse report. He said It Is simply a case
of a difference of opinion between two
sets of expert.
The bridge was built by the Northwest
Bri4ge Company, of Portland, which was
represented yesterday by L. A. McNary.
He asked for a copy of the report at the
earliest possible time, and It Is believed
that he Intends sending It East to the
designers, who also got up the specifica
tions. They are the other set of ex
peris referred 10 by Mr. Taylor. The
matter may eventually reach the courts.
The experts In their report say it Is built
according to specifications, with a few
minor details, and the city will hav-s to
pay the contract price of approximately
173.000.
The report of the experts, Messrs. Wil
liam L. Grondahl, R. L. Donald and J.
W. Moffatt, finds fault with the char
acter of the work, especially as to Its
execution, saying that the workman
ship Is very Inferior. The most serious
defect, however, Is said to He in the
specifications for the structure. The re
port says that the specifications are
faulty, particularly In the amount of
strength and carrying capacity, and that
a steam roller Is of sufficient weight to
tax the bridga four times the capacity
called for. The abutment wings are also
said to be poor, and some of the columns
also to appear defective.

Also Pays Respects to Lawyers Who
Seek Technicalities to De
feat Justice.
In the 'course of his sermon last night.
In Temple Beth Israel, on "The Religion
of the Old Testament,". Rabbi Jonah B.
Wise, In comparing the low standards In
legal morality with the debasement of
the religious sense, took occasion to refer
to the latest phase of the graft trial In
San Francisco, and expressed his ap
proval of the conviction of Ruef. He also
expressed the hope that the higher courts
would affirm the decision Just arrived at
by the Jury in Judge Lawler's court.
In speaking of the attitude or tne
Reformed Jews toward the- Bible, Dr.
Wise declared that the free or liberal
religious movement, known as Judaism.
was above all others prepared to shake
off Its allegiance to the past. Said Dr.
Wise:
'The conviction of Ruef Is one of the
most gratifying things that has happen
ed in some time. The whole case has
been an ulcer-spot on the fair name of
San Francisco, and a reproach to the
many so-called good citizens who have
aided the defense with their sympathy.
Like a dreadful poison It ate Into and
corrupted the public morality, debauched
the courts and the press; the latter,
despite its dIous roarings, in few in
stances only above suspicion, and set an
example of guilt challenging justice from
behind a defense of legal technicalities.
Now, despite the law's delay we are at
last able to say "amen" to a Jury's verdict-
Let us hope that the higher courts
will not stretch the letter and choke the
spirit of the law so as to set free a self
confessed criminal.
"The tactics of the defense need no
comment. The whole crowd, from the
chief criminal down to the least of his
men, are beyond the pale of decent asso
ciation. Clever they may be. able and
learned In the law; but debauched In
every way, they arouse nothing but -a
feeling of the most strong resentment.
The whole fanatical crew would be well
off, and society safe, in the keeping of
the state. Such as they make of our laws
mockery they entangle the Innocent
and protect the guilty."
In speaking of the Reform Jews' atti
tude toward the Bible. Rabbi Wise de
clared that the few on liberal religious
movement known as Judaism, was above
all others prepared to shake off Its alle
giance to the past.
'Can a religion deny Its past? Surely
not. but It may refuse the incubus of an
cient beliefs which are merely passing
modes of religious expression. Articles
of faith are the temporary expressions of
faith according to our view; but unfor
tunately most faiths consider them the
essentials, therefore, we have the sad
spectacle of supposedly Intelligent people
worshiping a wornout combination of
Aryan and Semitic supposition, coupled
with a long discredited Platonic philoso
phy. Add to this that many of them who
would shudder at the sacrifice of a lamb,
sing and proclaim the ruthless slaughter
of a human being and adore as an object
of faith the gibbet, gory with human
sacrifice. Personally I have more vener
ation for the guillotine It did better
service.
To us then the Bible is no more than
the recital of the religious experiences
of our people In days gone by. It Is
no more a binding rule of action or
thought than the example of Abraham
s&crlflelnar Isaac is mifiitlnn fn, an
act of faith. Its intrinsic value is unim- I
paired, nay. heightened, by this attitude;
for It is in itself a great book, and Its
extraordinary qualities which it neither

Creases in His Nether
Togs.
I scrupulously creased has landed B. J.
Blunkall in financial difficulty. And the
very trousers of which ha has been so
careful are to he attached.
Blunkall, be It known, is no less dis
tinguished an Individual thanportrayer
of leading characters in Lyric melodrama
productions. He has been in the city sev
eral months, and is even something of a
matinee idol with Lyric matinee audi
ences. But getting back to the subject
of the trousers.
Ever since his arrival, his fellow-thes-pians
have variously envied and admired
the fine creases that adorned his trousers
each and every morning. No man could
keep his clothes In sucti form without a
valet. It was generally conceded. And
there were those who insisted that he
must have an Imported brand of valet
tucked away somewhere.
The thing was no secret, however, to
Carl B. Schiffler, for he visited the
Blunkall apartment at the Calumet every
morning armed with an iron and threw
the creases Into the trousers at a couple
of dimes per throw. The only secret that
puzzled Schiffler was just how to collect
after the bill due him for services
rendered had accumulated to a total of
14. He tried every way he knew of. and
failing took his grievances to court.
Three sets of lawyers. Emmons &
Euunons, W. H. Fowler and Max G.
Cohen appear for Schiffler in proceed
ings opened at the Justice Court, yes
terday. A writ of attachment was Issued
and given to Constable Lou Wagner for
sen-ice.
"What shall I attach?" the officer in
quired of the lawyers.
"Attach his wardrobe," replied Lawyer
Fowler.
"His wardrobe," put in a friend of
Blunkall's, "is already attached to
Blunkall. You won't find anything else."
At the Calumet Constable Wagner
made a search for Blunkall's baggage to
attach.
"Where Is Mr. Blunkall, the trage
dian?," the Constable inquired of the
landlady.
"Don't know wish I did," was the
most unsatisfactory response. And at a
late hour the Constable was still casting
about for something worth $4 which he
might attach to satisfy the pants
presser's legal claim.
