MAY BE DELAYED
Unless Special Action Is Taken
Matter Cannot Come Up
Before October.
STATUTES ARE STUDIED
Complaint In II Casta Hre Been
Brought Against Brldgetenders.
t Damage Sult by Vesselmen
Expected to Follow.
Whether It will be possible, under
the existing Federal statute for jes
I owners who hare been delayed at
either the Burnslde-street or Morrtson
aureet bridge, since the orders estab
aished by the County Court hare been
Jn effect, to bring suit against the
county authorities Is a question re
ceiving the consideration of tnlted
states District Attorney John McCourt.
die will be ready to report his findings
an a few days, be says.
Mr. McCourt Is alito studying the
statutes to determine whether the Gov
ernment may start action against the
local authorities to hasten the settle
ment of the present controversy that
'has arisen over the efforts of the
county to regulate traffic over the two
structures.
Before he left for Sam Francisco
."Wednesday Major James F. Mclndoe
uked the District Attorney for an
opinion In the matter and urtced him to
rlng the cases In which protests have
already been filed In his office to an
'early trial.
Mr. McCourt has been of the opinion
Xrora the first that the charges of the
wesselmen should be considered along
with the regular business coming Into
kls office and into the Federal courts
fend said that unless some other means
vould be found of bringing them to the
Mention of the court at once they
. would have to take their turn with the
other pending casea and go before the
Federal grand jury which convenes in
October.
Mclndoe AVanta Quick Action.
Major Mclndoe desires earlier action.
)Sowever. So far as his office Is con
cerned, he says, there Is no controversy.
TThe Government haa absolutely the
tjole light to regulate the operation of
the bridge draws and the War Depart
ment, which has charge of all navig
able streams, resents any action by
local officials to usurp that authority.
The engineer views the action of
"fcrldge tenders. In following the In
structions of the County Court and de
caying the opening of the draws upon
-receiving the proper signals from ves
els. as a criminal action and 1 sen
strata complaints have been made by
Mm to the District Attorney's office.
Two were sent In yesterday. All orig
inated with vessel owners who allege
an unreasonable delay on the part of
the bridge tenders In swinging open
She draws.
If It is possible to secure action In
the Federal Courts on criminal charges
ome vessel men think that this action
can also be followed with damage
vases against the parties responsible
for the delay If such delay resulted In
mctual loss of money or property.-
Should a steamer have a contract to
deliver a cargo of goods within a cer
tain period and the delay in passing
through a bridge draw resulted In a
(allure to fulfill that contract, they
argue, they would have a reasonable
claim for damages. A similar claim
might be brought If a delay resulted In
ixarm to perishable goods.
Delay Xot Serious.
Those who are supporting the county
-In the contention point out that It will
never be necessary to delay a vessel
more than half an hour, which length
of time Is not sufficient to cause dam
ages through the possible decay of
perishable material and not likely to
result In a contract being violated.
The District Attorney's scrutiny of
the statute books yesterday was par
ticularly for the purpose of learning
by what method the War Department
might proceed in bringing the Issue
to an early focus. Major Mclndoe will
return from California Monday or
Tuesday. Mr. McCourt expects to have
his decision ready by that time.
"An injunction Is one of the ways
by which the War Department may
secure a suspension of the County
Court's orders." said the Federal
prosecutor yesterday, "but I am not
certain whether such action could be
taken In this case. Mandamus proceed
ings are also a likely means of bring
ing about the end that the Engineers'
office Is seeking. I hope to be ready
to advise Major Mclndoe when he re
turns to the city. I don't know what
action he will take, but he seemed
determined to have the traffic en
tirely In charge of his department with
out Interference or compromise with
the local authorities.
Action Xot Personal.
That It Is In pursuance of Instruc
tions from Washington and not on ac
count of any personal discretion In the
matter that he Is determined to have
the county relinquish its authority In
handling the bridge draws. Is the con
tention that Major Mclndoe has been
making from the start. In Justifica
tion of his position he merely refers
to the telegram received from the War
Department last Friday In which he
was ordered to enforce the regulations.
"That message meant Just m-hat It
says," he explained. "When It said
enforce the regulations' It meant that
the Department, of which I am the
local head, and not the officials of the
Multnomah County Court, should en
force them. In fact the Washington
officials do not take Into consideration
the fact that the county authorities
have ever Issued orders. Their orders
mean nothing to the War Department.
"if the publication of the regulations
sent from Washington does not result
In the bridge tenders opening the
draws in response to signals of the
vessel men without unreasonable de
lay. I shall have to seek other means
of securing an enforcement of the reg
ulations. For that reason I have asked
Mr. McCourt to look Into the law an
the subject. I think some way win oe
found whereby the War Department
will be enabled peaceable to exercise
control over matters which have always
come within the Jurisdiction of that
department and heretofore without
question."
CHAMBERLAIN HEARD FROM
In ! Letter Senator Advocate
Aseembljr for Pcmocrats.
Senator Chamberlain's attitude on
the assembly question is arousing con
siderable Interest and discussion in the
newspapers of the state. The follow
ing letter, written by Mr.- Chamber
Jala In 10. in reply to a call for a
jctate and county assembly, sent out
by the Umatilla Democrats, has been
printed In several newspapers:
Hon. A. I. Ktlllman. County Chairman.
Pendleton. Or. Mr Dear Sir: I sm in re
ceipt of your favor of the Sth Inst., and
hasten to thank you and. through you. the
county central committee, for the Ter
courteous Invitation to be present on the
17th Inst, at the meeting of the Democrats
to be held In Pendleton. ......
I deem It proper for me to say that the
movement which you hare inaugurated
meets with my full concurrence. I question
the propriety of celling either a county or
state convention for the purpose of enun
ciating a platform or nominating candidates,
tor the reason that such a course mtght
be deemed by many as an attempt to thwart
the purpose of the primary nominating law.
I feel that this law ought now to be given
a full, fair and Impartial trial, and If In
working It out In detail It proves cumber
some or distasteful to the people then such
measures may be adopted In ehe future as
will correct any evils which may arise from
Its :peratlon. f do feel, however, that It
would be proper to call an assembly of
Democrats, both In the several counties and
In the state, to adopt s declaration of prin
ciples and to suggest to the voters capable
and trustworthy men to be nominated at the
direct primary nomination election and to be
voted frr at the general election.
I wish you would discuss the matter at
your meeting of the lTth Inst., end. If
possible. Inaugurate a movement which will
bring the Democrats together at some cen
tral point from all over the state to take
stops along the same llnee as those which
will be taken by the Democrats of Umatilla
County. 1 think that such action would be
salutary and would arouse enthusiasm
among oar friends everywhere.
It is well understood that It Is always
difficult, even In convention, to get men to
accept places on the ticket, because of the
fact that the ReouhHcan majority l so large
In Oregon as to make every candidate for of
fice on the Democratic ticket feel that he Is
leading a for Iron hope and his acceptance of a
place on the ticket Is usually at a sacrifice
of Inclination and Interests aa well.
Trusting that the movement which you
have Inaugurated may meet with abundant
success. I have the honor to remain, yours
very sincerely.
GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN. .

UMATILLA ROADS ARE FREE
Indian Bureau at Last Repeals Tolls
on Reservation.
PENDLETOX.Or.. Aug. 1. fSpecial-V
"Free roads" across the Umatilla reser
vation, the thing for which the livestock
Interests have been working for many
years, are at last a reality. Through the
efforts of Congressman Ellis and Senator
Bourne, aided by the good work of Major
E. L. Swartxlander In circulating peti
tions among the Indians, the Bureau of
Indian Affairs haa at last Issued a favor
able order.
The roads are to be turned over to the
County Court of Umatilla County, which
will maintain them as public highways,
and the only requirements from stock
men will be the filing of bonds to Insure
their crossing within a given length of
time and making them responsible for
all damsge sustained. .
Heretofore a charge or TO cents per
head for cattle, i cents per head for
horses and t cents per head for sheep,
has een collected on all animals taken
to or from the Summer range In the
mountains. Rather than pay this charge,
many stockmen have driven their cattle,
horses or sheep, mostly sheep, 100 miles
around, or have paid the railroad com
pany to haul them across. The depart
ment would not agree to a repeal of
these charges until a majority of the
male Indians on the reservation had
given their written consent to the change.
In the face of opposition on the part of
some of the supposed head tnen on the
reservation, the necessary signatures
were secured by the agent.

the breaking with the Japanese line, Mr.
Ransom said that Jt wouia nave no en-i
locally and that the Pacific Mall would
continue to handle business out of San
Francisco as before.
Not since the days of "Indra steamers
have passengers been brought here from
, v.. k.- vmmt it h.vlnr been determined
that as the patronage was confined to
the steerage It was unprofitable and
space set apart for that purpoee could
be utilised more advantageously for car

CAPTAIN IS SNUBBED
Spencer's "Charges" to Exec
utive Board "Filed."
INVESTIGATION NOT MADE
Future Allegations Against Members
of Force to- Be Investigated
by Three Captains and
Chief of Police.
"Charges" preferred by Captain E. W.
Spencer, the local steamboat operator,
against Harbormaster Speler and Harbor
Policeman Lillis were "filed" by the
Executive Board yesterday afternoon
upon recommendation of the police com
mittee. It Is generally accepted as a direct slap
at Captain Spencer, as the "charges"
were of a serious nature, he accusing
the Harbormaster of false arrest for
ulterior purposes. - The Harbormaster's
charge against Captain Spencer was that
of violating the speed limit on the river
with the Steamer Charles R. Spencer.
It had been supposed that the police
committee, to whom Mayor Simon re
ferred the "charges," would conduct an
Investigation, but when the Executive
Board met yesterday afternoon It devel
oped by the committee report that such
had not been done.
"There were no formal charges against
Harbormaster Speler and Policeman Lu
lls." said Slg Sichel, of the police com
mittee, in explanation. "Captain Spencer
simply filed a written communication with
the Mayor. We declined to take cogni
zance of the so-called charges, and sim
ply asked that the communication be
filed."
Captain Spencer has died a suit in the
Circuit Court against Harbormaster
Speler for 15000 for false arrest.
The Chief of Police and the Captain of
Police will hereafter be constituted a
board to Investigate all charges that may
be preferred against any members of the
department below the rank of Captain.
The Captain under whom an officer is
serving will not sit on the board, so there
will be but three Captains to sit with the
Chief on any such occasion. Heretofore,
the police committee has attended to
