BUILDING CHANGES HANDS s I Lively Meeting at Joint Session of Trustees and Navigation Com mittee Before Which Appeared Several Interested Parties. I'pon the recommendation ff a joint committee composed of the members of the board of trustees and the navigation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, that body will draft certain amendments to the law now in force 1n Oregon governing sailor boarding houses. The next session of the Legisla ture will be asked to reduce the pres ent rate from S30 to $1'0. and to grant Additional powers to the Commission having in charge the licensing and con trol of sailor boarding-houses within the state. Consuls Cederbergh of Norway. I.ohan of Germany. Mathles of the Netherlands and I-aidlsw of Great Britain, John Grant, proprietor of the local sailors' boarding-house representatives of the State Commission, and several promi nent shippers, appeared before the Joint committee yesterday. C. F. Swigert pre sided. Consul Cederbergh spoke in behalf of the repeal of the present law and for the enactment of a measure providing for appointing a shipping master, whose fee should be $10 and no more. Other consuls took the same view of the mat ter, except that Consul I.aidlaw desired only a fee of $5. Consuls Cederbergh and Laildaw made several charges of extortion against the operators of the boarding-house. At this time Mr. Grant arose and of fered to make a present of $100 to the Baby Home if any consul could pro duce a bill signed by him where there appeared a single cent above the amount allowed him by law. Consul Cederbergh produced a bill, but !t developed that it was receipted for by John Betts. and that tlie money had been collected by him In his capacity as shipping master. From the standpoint of the shippers everything was moving in a satisfactory manner in the port, and conditions were far better thp.n Rt other ports and much better under the law than ever before. Consul I.aidlaw made the assertion that British owners considered Portland as a bad port and were loath to send ves aels here on account of the sailor sit nation. This statement was refuted h E. XV. Wright, of the Navigation Com mittee. who represented Portland and the Chamber of Commerce in London at the meeting of the Association of Sail ing Shipowners last year. A committee representing the Chamber of Commerce will confer with the Mult nomah delegation at an early date and matters pertaining to legislation on a number of subjects which directly affect Portland's standing1 as a port, will be taken up. ICEPORT IJERFXItT LIFEBOAT Captain Kidstnn Sights Craft IVot tom l"p Off Uinpqua River. Captain Kidston. of the steamship Rose City, reports having passed a dere lict lifeboat in the latitude of the I'mp qua River and some distance off shore. The boat was painted green and ap peared to be bottom up. No signs of life were visible. Captain Kidston says that the boat appeared to be of the same build as the lifeboats carried on deep water ships. No reports of any wreckage have been received at Portland or other places along the Coast, although there has been some heavy weather during the past week and there are a number of small craft due. Storm warnings are out and another blow is looked for. SCHOOXER SINKS IX HARBOR Attempts to Make Landing at Oak land and Micks in Mud. OAKLAND. Cal.. Dec. 15. The steam achooner G. C.

United States Attorney John MeCourt does not believe the decision of the United, States Supreme Court, handed down by Justice White, holding that in dictments could not be found on section 474ti in land matters because the section was intended to cover violations of the pension laws, will be the means of giving freedom to James H. Parker, the Baker City banker, and Albert 1. Cusick. the Ttoseburs real estate dealer, both of whom were indicted and convicted under section 4746. The decision of the United States Supreme Court came right at the heels of the conviction of Cusick, whose trial had been going on before Judge Wolverton for a week. The very point decided by Justice White in the Colorado case was raised by At torney James Cole during his argument on the demurrer he filed In behalf of Cu sick. Attorney Cole held that section 4746, prescribing a penalty for perjury, waa Intended only for pension cases and could not apply to land matters. Judge "Wolverton, after hearing arguments on both sides, handed down a lengthy opin ion, overruling the demurrer and hold ing that an indictment for perjury under section 4746 was not necessarily confined to perjury in pension cases, but could be applied to perjury when it came to mak ing false affidavits or swearing falsely to nonminerai affidavits, in regard to land matters. United States Attorney MoOourt is get WOMEN Every woman has so much pain, work and worry in life that any needless dally suffering from backache, head ache, dizziness, languor or other kidney ills is unfortunate, indeed. Poan's Kidney Pills have brought new life, health and strength to thou sands of women afflicted In this way, by curing the kidneys. If you don't just understand your condition, don't forget that it may be the kidneys. Women easily fall victim to kidney ills. The confining work a woman does, the tight, heavy clothing she wears, the constant bending, reaching and lifting of housework, the cares of bringing up children, are all trying. Any fever, cold, chill or strain may weaken the kidneys, and set up conges tion, with backache and disturbances of the urine. , Too many women have come to think that backache, pain through the lnps, headnche, "blues. " dizzy spells, sick headache, nervousness and swellin-r of the ankles, wrists or limbs, are trou bles peculiar to the sex. Pon't make that mistake. Suspect your kidneys first. Men have similar aches when the kidneys are sick.

He wrote yesterday for a copy of Justice White's decision and mailed to the Attorney-General a copy of the decision handed down by Judge Wolverton. There were two other cases pending, the defendants hav ing been Indicted under the section. Both of these c"ases had already been dismissed upon the request of Attorney MeCourt. Whether Justice WTiite's decision will be as far reaching as it now appears, re mains to be seen. A great number of In dictments have been brought under this section. DRINKING CUPS DISCUSSED Congress of Mothers Inquires Into Public School Matters. At the State Congress of Mothers, which met Tuesday afternoon in the offices of the Associated Board of Chari ties, the regular business of the society was attended to, and the president ap pointed the following committees: Public health, Mrs. C. V. Howard; extension, Mrs. E. B. Colwell; education, Mrs. R. L. Donald; legislative. Mrs. M. I.. Trum bull; press and Chautauqua, Miss Kilza-b-th K. Matthews; social service, Mrs. R. L. Ronald. Among the subjects brought under advisement and discussion at the meeting was that of drinking facilities at the new schools, which was referred to the educational committee; and the report of the sanitary conditions surrounding the pupils In the manual training depart ment In the basement of the Williams avenue school. The law providing for public playgrounds was considered and referred to the legislative committee. Mrs. J.

Try Xearby Property Shows Doubling of Value in Three Years Erection ' of Big Office Structure May Follow Sale in Xear Future. " The northwest corner of Fourth and Yamhill streets, for about 12 years the property of the Young Men's Christian Association, has been bought by Joseph M. Healy from the trustees of that or ganization. The price paid for the quar ter block and four-story brick building erected thereon is $175.u00. Under the present arrangement of the building, there are four stores on the Fourth street front and a barbershop on the Yamhill front, and the entrance to the upper stories is located at the southeast corner. The upper stories have been used by the Association for office, assembly-room, recitation-rooms, gymnasium, etc.. and will be so used un til the new building at Sixth and Taylor te ready for occupancy. Mr. Healy secured an option on the property the day before the Presidential election, feeling certain that Mr. Taft would be elected, though In case that did not result he might have to wait some time before rentals would make the proposition attractive. Ever since the Association decided to build a new structure, to furnish quarters commensurate with its growth and im portance, realty brokers have been fig uring on this valuable holding: but it was Mr. Healy's foresight and confidence in Portland that secured for him' this bargain, for it Is an open secret that a good advance on the price paid could be obtained today. Other investors were fearful last Fall that if the election did not turn out right a period of depression might follow; but Mr. Healy evidently believed the people did not want a change in conditions, and so he secured the op tion before the result of the election was certainly known. Owns Large Tract. Mr. Healy's extensive operations in Portland realty have proved to be suc cessful to a degree. In addition to his Bast Side holdings, he owns one of the best tracts of acreage on the hills to the southeast of Council Crest, which he i tends to plat In the near future, and with Gav liombard took over the Board of Trade building and completed that structure, which is a model In business buildings In Portland. Since Mr. Healy disposed of his interest in the Board of Trade building last June. he has been looking for a choice piece of property in the retail district, and it is the belief of investors that he has se cured this in the Y. M. C. A. building. Almosa all of them agree that the future retail district will extend southward from Stark street, and that the wholesale dls trlct is to move northward from the same street. It is Mr. Healy's intention to lease the entire building to one tenant, and already he has several offers for the. premises. but he says he cannot consider any of kidneys prompt help. A special remedy for weakened or diseased kidneys, for backache and urinary disorders, is Doan's KIdnty Pills, a composition of vegetable Ingredients that may be taken by strong or weak, or young or old. for the action is gentle, and only on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills restore normal action of the kidneys, regulate the urine, drive out backache and languor, and cure kidney troubles permanently. PORTLAND PROOF. Mrs. J. w. Painter, 445 E. Market St.. Portland, Oregon, says: "I have Just as much confidence in the effi ciency of Doan's Kidney Pills today as when I publicly recommended them in 190S, after they had relieved me of kidney trouble. A severe spell of sick ness had left my kidneys in a dis ordered condition and. as time passed. I suffered from frequent attacks of back ache. The pain was sometimes almost unbearable and I was unable to assume any position that was comfortable. Headaches and dizzy spells were of fre quent occurrence and it was often quite an effort for me to get about. The various remedies I used proved of little avail, and when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention I pro cured a box at the Uaue-Davis Drug Co. The results of their use were grati fying, and 1 do not hesitate to recom- .meud them U otners similar manner." afflicted in PILL N.Y.. Proprietors.

The Healy deal has been known in realty circles for some time, and as a natural thing there has been a rather active demand for property in that vicin ity. It is pretty well authenticated that a theater building Is to be erected In the vicinity, and It Is generally believed that the new postofflce Is to be located just south of the present site, so that realty in that locality is considered among the most desirable in the city.
