R. P. Schwerin Is Ready to
Send Steamships When
Trade Will Warrant.
PACIFIC BUSINESS IS BAD
Many Oriental Shipments to New
York Now Made by Way of Suez.
Lee Hong Appointed as Orien
i tal Agent Marine Notes.
"The Portland & Asiatic Steamship
Company will operate its. vessels directly
between Portland and Oriental porta as
soon as the homeward business will war
rant It." said R. P. Schwerin. general
manager of the Harriman steamship
lines, last night. "I have done every
thing within my power to throw freight
via the Portland & Asiatic line to Port
land and have never diverted a single
pound that 'I could persuade to come
this way.
"Business conditions are vastly dif
ferent than they were several years ago
when ships came here direct, all loaded.
A large part of the business now goes
by Suez, and we will never be able to
regain It. When our agent In Hong
kong cabled me that no Portland freight
was offered, but that he could secure
1500 tons for Honolulu and 500 tone of
local San Francisco freight. I felt justi
fied In accepting the business. That Is
why I diverted the vessels of the Port
land & Astatic Company from Portland.
I would be more than willing to operate
them direct If offerings made It pos
sible. "Between Hongkong and Puget Sound
ports there axe six lines of steamships
operating, each with a sailing a month.
Hongkong shippers will naturally send by
the first steamship on receipt of an
1 order. I have appointed Lee Hong, of
the Chinese Arm of Bow-Yuen A Co.. as
Oriental agent of the Portland & Asiatic
Steamship Company. He will reside In
Pnrtiarid and will have charge of the
Chinese business, with power to settle
claims, etc. With hla aid I hope to
secure much of the business now com
ing via the Sound.
"I have had Interviews with T. M.
Stevans, one of the largest Importers in
Portland, and have talked the matter
over with several of the leading Chinese
merchants, and hope to add materially
to the homeward-bound business of our
line. With 22.000-ton steamships coming
eastward with only 1000 tons of cargo
you can see the condition of business.
The Interstate commerce ruling threw
much of the overland business by way
of the Suez. I am willing to do any
possible thing to assist In putting the
freight through Portland, but need the
assistance of local Importers."
Mr. Schwerin haa been In Portland for
several days looking over the business
situation. While not admitting that any
thing other than a purpose to Investi
gate the workings of the local office
prompted his visit to Portland, he has
been closeted with a number of Import
ers whose business has been thrown to
other lines since the diversion of the
Portland & Astatic boats to Honolulu
and San Francisco. He will leave this
evening for San Francisco.
CAPTAIN" PARSONS IS CHARGE

Alleging that they were being discrimi

kane, Portland & Seattle Railway in the
matter of employment, a committee- of
Northern Pacific trainmen yesterday
came to Portland from Vancouver and
held a conference with F. S. Forest,
general superintendent of the North Bank
r6ad. The visiting delegation presented
as a grievance that the North Bank of
ficials are giving the Great Northern
train operatives the preference in employ
ing men on the new road. The men
were given a hearing but no action was ,
taken towards adjusting their complaint,
which is long standing. The complaining
trainmen were represented at the con
ference by two delegates from each of the
following railroad orders of Vancouver:
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi

and the Pacific Northwest In 1909.
"Plans are now being elaborated," eald
Mr. Charlton, "to put on these trains.
Through cars have been run over this
route for five years, but the intention
now Is to operate at least one through
train dally, 'and probably two.
"The run takes about 72 hours, the
distance being approximately 15S0
miles. One through train probably
will leave St. Louis in the morning
for Portland, and another at night for
Seattle, both via Billings. Mont. The
new trains will go into commission. It

line is completed to Spokane, which
will be In January.

Fine Italian Hand of Ferdinand
Reed Appears in Latest Scheme
in Governor's Behalf .
An effort Is being made by the Statement-Chamberlain
forces to line up the
members of the Republican County
Central Committee in the Interest of the
election of Oregon's Democratic Gov
ernor to the ;'enatorshlp. The pro
gramme contemplates that the precinct
committeemen saall stand together and
use thtir Influence to have eveYy State
ment member from this county respond
to his pre-electicn pledge and vote for
Chamberlain for Senator.
Th3 details of this work are being
looked after by Ferdinand E. Reed, he
of Devlin campaign fame. Reed for
several days ha3 been endeavoring to
arrange for a general meeting of the
members of the County Central Com
mittee so that s.ime definite expression
may be obtained from its members.
Thursday night several of the precinct
committeemen KOt. together and decided
to do what they could to bolster up the
Statement men and Insist on their vot
ing for Chambeilain for Senator when
the, Legislature convenes. Just what
action the County Central Committee
will take, if any, as a unit, has not
been determined. This is said to be
due tj the fact that it has been Impos
sible cither to assemble all of the mem
bers ill a meeting, or to learn the atti
tude of each Individual member.
The reported action of Major J. P.
Kennedy, chairman of the Republican
County Central Committee, in sending
a letter to Senator Bourne vouching as
to the Republicanism of John C. Young.
Postmaster-elect, has served further to
disrup that organization. It was
learned yesterday that 11 of the 15
members of the executive committee of
the County Central Committee had de
cided to join vigorously in protesting
against the action of Major Kennedy,
as chairman.
By them It Is insisted that the letter
written by Kennedy and vouching for
Young's Republicanism, may be con
strued as an Indorsement of the Postmaster-elect
by the county organiza
tion. It Is to avoid having such a con
struction placed on the attitude of the
Republican organization of this county
that a majority of the members of the
executive committee have rosolved to
put themselves on record by disclaim
ing any responsibility for the Kennedy
letter.

Democrats to control the House.
While McCue. of Clatsop, is still an
aspirant for Speaker, his following is
too small to do him any good, and as he
logically belongs In the caucus, it H
probable that he will' join the McArthur

CnOfll) LEAVES FOR SPOKANE
Four Special . Sleepers Carry Port
!andersto Apple Fair.
Four special sleepers left the city last
night at 5:25 over the North Bank Road
for Spokane, carrying passengers to at
tend the National Apple Show there. To
day Is Portland day at the fair and the
Portland party, which is made up of local
railroad and business men, will reach
Spokane this morning. The return will
ba made by daylight Sunday, arriving
here Sunday night. The naw ' equipment
of the North Bank Road was used for
the excursion esnd the train was almost
palatial in Its appointments. This Is the
first excursion to be run over the North
Bank Road. .
A. D. Charlton, assistant general passen
ger agent or the Northern Pacific; F. H.
Fogarty. assistant general freight agent
of the same line, and R. H. Jenkins, as
sistant general freight and passenger
agent for the new North Bank line, are
among the railroad men to make the
trip.
Statement Forces Losing Ground.
Statement forces in the Legislature
have been lo'sing ground fast in the fight
for organization of that body. First
they were worsted in their elTort to or
ganize the Multnomah delegation of leg
lslators and Senator J.' B. Coffey wrested
the chairmanship away from them. Next
they were unable to keep In their camp
all the Statement men In this and other
counties. Then they were unsuccessful
in defeating the Bowerman plan of Re
publican caucus in the Senate. And
from the looks of things they will be
unsuccessful In blocking the McArthur
plan of Republican caucus in the House.
Anti-Statement men and their Statement
associates in this county say that a ma
jority of the Republican members of the
House will have signed the caucus call
within a few days.
The City Executive Board' yesterday
afternoon adopted the report of the
street comml'tee. recommending the
awarding of the contract for the bitu
lithic pavement on Belmont street, be
tween East Fortieth and East Sixty
seventh streets. The' contract was let to
the Pacific Bridge Company, the price
being JS6.W0. This was done over the
strenuous objection of the street railway
company. What action the corporation
officials will take is unknown; but it is
said they contemplate injunction proceed
ings, or at least some suit at law to test
the legality of the proceedings, particu
larly as to the power of the City Council
and the Exacutive Board to force the
laying of Belgian blocks between the
tracks.
Vice-President F. I. Fuller was pres
ent to represent the company, -and en
tered emphatic objection to being forced
to lay Belgian blocks the entire dis
tance between the car tracks. Two weeks
ago he appeared and sought a delay, his
wish being to lay the matter before the
Council with a view to securing a change
of the specifications for matt-rial to be
used between the tracks. He presented
the casa to the Council on Wednesday,
and the Council voted to grant his peti
tion; but on the following day. the Coun
cil being In adjourned session, the re
pealing ordinance passed, but the emer
gency clause did not carry, as Councilman
Kellaher voted against' it. Under the
present ruling of City Attorney Kava
naugh, an emergency ordinance must
have have 12 affirmative votes, and must
be signed by the Mayor.
Thursday morning Mayor Lane de
clared the ordinance did not pass, but
City Attorney Kavanaugh ruled yester
day that It did pass, but that the emerg
ency clause did not carry with it. This
makes It, under the Supreme Court de
cision of recent date, an ordinance which
does not become effective until the ex
piration of 30 days, during which time
the referendum may be applied. There
fore, the contract was let, and It is quite
certain that Mayor Lane will veto the
repealing ordinance, which will make a
clear way for the carrying out of the
contract.
There has been a great clamor for the
warding of the contract, and a letter
from the United East Side Push Clubs
was read, asking that favorable action
be taken by the Board. The citizens
along the street are very anxious to
have the work proceed!
