THE HORNING OREGOXIAN. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28. 1911. 1G CLAIM HALTS WORK Repairs on Schooner William Nottingham Held Up. OWNERS SEE TOTAL LOSS examination Showing Hull ' Not Damaged. Quandary Result. Port May Be Aket to Share Kiprniw Craft Libels. Effort of the Olobe Navigation Company, owner of the ichooner Wil liam Nottingham, to have the vessel x-lard a constructive total loss are aid to be holding up plana for re pair of the craft. The Nottlncham It field at the puhllc trydork after hav ing been discharired and lifted for an examination, whlrh determined that t-er hull wan In anod condition and that the principal repairs will be re qnlred on dpcic. The loss or aalls and deck jrear. damage to her lumber rar-ro and other Iteme are exi"-trd to he vailed to the attention of the underwriters ar.d the Tort of Portland CommlMion may be asked to share some of the expense. It Is said that the underwriters will not lake roanlxanre of harm to the carito ether than the amount swept over hoard. That stained throuah havlns heen left on the vessel after she was Eowed Into port br the ttiir Oneonta will not be paid for. It has been estimated that repair to the Nottlnrham will cost In the neigh borhood of IK.nHO. In her present shape she might he soil for 110. 0-irt to be used as a hare. The vessel was towed to A'torta o-toher lj as a dere lict, havtna been picked up by the Port of Portland tiia after be-ins; aban doned by her crew, whl'-h was taken rff br the Itrltish schooner Tnvld r.van. The Port of Portland libeled her for salvage and the libel has not been released. Accounts on the stenmcr Westerner, ahlch Is to sail today for Sin Kran--tsco. after having been repaired, show that her damage was about lt..".-0, not .ncludlng wages to the rrew and simi lar Items that the underwriters are railed on to pay. Itepalrs to ftis yreamer Washington amounted to ap proximately li:.ivn and It Is estimated ;hat work on the steamer f'asco. which Is on the Oregon drydnrk after having truck near pillar Kock. will neces- Itate an outlay of more than IS'-OO. f.ltSTS V1KW WII.I.AMKTTK Plnnr I Gltrn Aboard New Vescl Her on Maiden Voyaicc.

The menu was In keeping with the holiday season as turkey and cranberry sauc were serretl In abundance. The guests were escorted orer the vessel and her attractive features dis played from staterooms and steerage quarters, which will accommodate 5 persons, to her electric piano. The Willamette reels off II knots without creat effort and burns 0 barrels of fuel against 80 barrels used In a day 4n the average steam schooner. She Is to sail Sum'ay on her first voyage from Portland and will proceed to Sin Ve il row calling; at San Francisco. The McCormlck Interests will keep her oil the run In company with the Klamath.

When the trial of Captain J. F. Hig-f-ins. master of the steamer Coaster. Is held on an accu.-atlon of having carelessly permitted his anchor to drag In the lower harbor and damaged fire control cables connecting the forts at the mouth of the Columbia. It prom ises to damage more severely the travel pay fund of the 1'nlted States Army than repairs to the cable represented, as the complaining witness and others cognizant of the alloced crime have since been ordered el-exhcre snd It Is not Improbable that some witnesses will be brought from the Philippines. The case originated through Army of ficers statl.ined at the forts. Itefcrence to the archives In tha office of I'nlted State Marshal Scott yesterday developed that Captain Hlg g'na Is charged with having committed the offense In 1 5oT. and not a year and a half ago. as was first given out. Tha warrant was given to United States Marshal Weed, but was never served, and when Mr. Scott assumed charge of the department the name of Captain lligglna was revived, together with ethers that were to be watched for. and his arreet followed as soon as It became known that he was In port. No date has been set for his hearing became the whereabouts of witnesses has not been asertalned. BIG SMTXT Rl"X EX IECTKT I'lsh Reins Shipped In Small lot Will Increase Next Month. Steamboat operators are looking for ward to another big run of smelt from the Cowlttx Klver this season, though at C-e J.xk of the Kellogg Transporta. tita Ciorrany. which ha a sleamer pljn.g direct to points on the stream. It Is sa.d. the receipts of smelt for a week have been but three boxes. Iast year the steamer lairline. which was usually Intercepted while on the way up stream from Astoria and tha fish loaded from barges, often dis charged as high as 14i0 cases here and. with those brought by the Joseph Kel logg, a day's receipts would climb over .''00 vases. The run Is expected to be gin earlv In January and when once under war there will be a dal'.y con gestion of docks, as the shipments are bilied to dozens of persons and firms, and clerks have their hands full sej gregating them for delivery. CROCKER FROM VALPARAISO Barkentlne Joins Fleet in River to load Lumber Off-bore. Coming from Valparaiso to load lum ber tnr a I'-ruv'an port under char ter to W. II. Grace, the barkentlne iltaa F Crocker crossed into tiie Co lumbia vesterday after a run of 5" lays. Sha was towed Inside by the tug Wallula. of the Tort of Portland fleet, and continued through tha loner harbor to Tongue Point to begin re ceiving cargo, she la the second bark entlne to arrive this month, the Puako having been In port since December 18 to load lumber for tha west coast un der charter to Balfour. Guthrie A Com pany. The achooner Commerce la another vessel on the list of Y. R. Grace at Company and is berthed at St. Helena, working lumber for Valparaiso. The British bark British Toeman Is at St. Helens, loading for Port Natal under engagement to J. J. Moore A Com pany. The British tramp Strathearn. which had trouble here last week with her Chinese crew and proceeded to As toria Sunday, la yet held there, partly because of the weather and owing to matters concerning new members of the crew. Nothing la expected In the way of chartering for lumber or -wheat for the next few days, as holidays abroad preclude business being done In the usual manner, and another week may elapse before conditions are normal IXVERLOGIE STARTS WHEAT Exporter Pay Cost of Trucklnf Cereal to Ship" Tackle. In loading wheat aboard the British bark Inverlogle. at Columbia dock No. I. O. W. McXear. her charterer, is pay ing for tha trucking on tha dock, the cost of which l placed at cents a ton. and there will be no commission of three cents to the stevedores. Brown McCabe. while the ship will liquidate for the work at a rate not made pub lic Two gangs started wheat Into the hold yesterday and she Is fully expected to be finished Saturday. It Is believed that there will be little friction In the future between shipown ers and charterers over the port "cus tom" of paying 30 cents a ton. as the former are averse to paying II cents above the stevedore charge and future chartering will probably be entered In to with the understanding that owners shall select the stevedore. The Inver logle Is to shift to Montgomery dock No. i and finish at Martin's, and ar rangements have been made at all berths to facilitate the loading. The Slelnbek resnaied work yesterday, af ter having been deluyed so the steamer Roanoke could get cargo destined for San Francisco, and she should finish in company with the I,ydgate this week.

Government reports show that dur ing November the force employed on the Panama Canal excavated 1.598.0:4 yards of material, against 2.331.(87 yards in October. With the aid of a derrick a second mast was stepped aboard the Port of Portland tug Oneonta, at the Vulcan Iron Works yesterday, so that her wireless enn be Installed. Owing to heavy stocks of flour be ing In transit and the expectation that there will be no adjustment of differ ences in China for 30 days, the Orien tal market was featureless yesterday. Balfour. Guthrie & Company yester day chartered the steamers Nome City and Carlos to transport wheat to San Kranclsco In January. The ves sels are to load the same character of cargo here this week. Orchard Hocks beacon will be the name of the Orchard Rocks bell structure In Rich Passage In the fu ture, as the bell has been discontinued and the structure will be retained as a permanent day mark. Captain Jahnsen, of the McCormlck steamer Klamath, says that though she has been afloat two years she has escaped being barbound and he is hopeful of passing through the Win ter without being held up. There entered at tha Custom-House yesterday the steamers Nome City, Klamath. Willamette and J. A. Chans lor. from California ports. The Roa noke cleared for San Plcgo and the Chanslor for Monterey. As the mill of the Portland Lumber Company Is to shut down Saturday for annual repairs and an overhauling, tha steamers Q. K. Wentworth and TVe own. of the llosford fleet, will be laid up at the Washington-street dock for three or four weeks. Captain W. P. Gray, of Pasco, a vet eran steamboat man of the Snake River and who Is credited with hav ing originated a slogan that was fa miliar years ago of "Keep your eyes on Pasco," spent yesterday In the city visiting friends along the waterfront. As the steamer Wasp has arrived at San Francisco with most of her deck load of lumber swept over the side, as the result of having been buffeted about In a blow' off the Columbia while bound from Puget Sound, it is believed to have been her lumber that Captain Canty, of the steamer Catania, sighted south of Tillamook Sunday. Of tiO.000 feet In her cargo 300.000 feet was lost. Additional advices received by II. I Beck. Inspector of the l?th light house district, concerning the drown ing of Assistant Keeper Clarke, of tha Patos Island light, indicate that Mrs. Clarke and a companlo- named Dur gan. who set out In a launch for tha Island after hearing of his death, may have suffered a similar fate, as they have not been heard from. A launch from Semlamoo light station was sent to search, but was compelled to return owing to tha storm and Inspector Peck has ordered that the tender Heather proceed there from Neah Bay and search.

Jan yesterday from a visit to all the In dustrial expositions held In the Eastern cities In the past two months, "Were It not for the railroads Ore gon would have been inadequately rep resented at the four principal land shows of th' present year at Omaha. New York. Chicago and St. Paul. At Omaha tvhe Willamette Valley had a creditable exhibit that attracted much favorable attention to the state. At St, Paul there was a more representa tive Oregon display, but at both New York and Chicago, which were the two blga-est events, the railroads did all the exhibiting for Oregon that was done. Ore kg a Attracts Most. "While the railroads were required to pive proportionate representation to all the states In their respective ter ritories, I was pleased to observe that more than half of all the Inquiries we received at our Information bureau were about Oregon. We bad wagon loads of literature on all the states, but the Orepon booklets went faster than those of any other state. W kept a constant supply on hand and endeavored to satisfy alL I talked to thousands, many of whom are inter ested In this state. Some have made actual preparations to come here within the next year. There will be a big1 rush when the colonist rates s;o Into effect next Spring:. Those who have not already arranged to come here have a deep longing; that may brinjr them eventually. "We had a great deal of Inquiry for poultry and dairying, for which Ore gon is especially stilted and to which we have ptven particular attention. With a well-prepared state exhibit In which all the various industries of Oregon are properly represented, most of these Inquirers will be reached In a way that will Influence them to come here to live. SlO.OOO Faad Ample. "An expenditure of $10,000 would provide Oregon with ample display space at Omaha, New York, Chicago and St. Paul and pay all necessary ex penses. "The various counties of the state, I am sure, could be induced to provide the specimen products for exhibition. Representatives of each community could be sent to the shows for the purpose of presenting the advantages of their respective districts. It prob ably would be necessary to hire an expert decorator to arrange the ex hibition and to pay someone to be In charge. The cost for all this service, together with display space at all the shows and transportation for the car that would be required to carry the exhibit from one place to another, I am sure, would come within the figure I have named. It would be money well spent. Something should be done right now to assure an Oregon exhibit at all the land shows next year." Or ego a Boostera Active. Mr. Graham declares that the pub licity given Oregon through the vari ous shows in the East and the tour of the Governors special has been of untold benefit to the state. The Ore gon representatives on the Governors' train did Inestimable service by their lectures. He aald that Governor West and Tom Richardson were the most active members of the party In ad vancing the claims of their state, and that Bill Hanley, in himself. Is an ad vertising asset that cannot be over estimated. The Great Northern, as well aa other roads, advertised the Elks convention and the Rose Festival at all the shows and received numerous Inquiries. SLAIN ARE NOT ON TRIAL Wrllep Scores Death Penally Sctitl nientalists. FORTLAXD, Dec. 25. (To the Edi tor ) In The Oregonian last Sunday appeared a letter from an ambitious young lawyer. In further defense of those hideous and notorious criminals of -oreRon'B more recent calendar, who have had fnr too much defense already. TVs j-oune man assumes to i-peak for t;e 'iij.gued Intelligence of the ieo ple of Portland." who, he says, ''demand that some reply be. made" to those evii-mlnded persons who favor the exe cution of the law when such criminals as Hasslns;. Webb. Hembree, Whitney, I eacock and the unapprehended mur derers of Barbara Holzman. the Hill family, the Wehrman family, not to speak of all that tribe of hyenas and J:.ckal? that have erected Into an Insti tution the degrading and butrhfrlnK of women. Of these last, society is weak -tioup:h unconsciously to tolerate and maintain them, and has failed to enact e'f.'ct!ve laws against them, yet when tnelr practices result in murder, I do not believe that the people intend that the laws for murder shall not apply. This young; attorney has a considerable practise In defending- these people, and has taken the pains to examine the Michigan reports to prove that hang ing; does not deter such crimes. This paradoxical statement is a favorite one with these "Intelligent" champions of crime, and chiefly useful to show the utterly Ineffectual caliber of their minds. Their Intellectual processes are so puerile and their comprehension so narrow that they overlook a faot so salient and so obvious to the normal brain as that hanging deters that parti cular criminal from repeating the of fense. As we can safely assume that despite the encouragement of weak minded governors, pandering Judges, and more or less disinterested criminal lawyers, the number of potential crim inals of this sort is yet verj limited, this Is Itself an fmportant gain. A man once guilty of such crimes has r.ot only led up to it by a long and as siduous course of demoralization, but once having broken the Ice. Is a ten times more dangerous individual than before, a terrible cunning and self poise raplaly develops; the ordinary human Instincts which would revolt at the mere conception of such acts, dis appear, and your hardened and effec tive criminal appears. Such a man as Webb, or the murderer of Barbara Holzman, is incapable of any but a criminal life, and not only is the death penalty the only safe protection against them, but people willing to tol erate and support the presence of such, even within the walls of a penitentiary (which, as we know, are not irrevo cable), are not true representatives of a healthy and virile society. A city, the overflow from the dens of which haunts the dark streets and the sub urbs in the edge of the forest. In search of possible prey among the unpro tected women and children of those honest men willing to rear families with the fruits of honest labor, and whose providence for the future Impels them to seek such homes, although it necessitates their temporary absence and trust in the ordinary fairness of their fellows. Is not what good govern ment would compel a city to be. So ciety has a right and duty to wage a war of extermination against such wretches, and if there are those who for fees, or lack of moral sense wish to identify themselves with such, and create a party opposed to order and right living, that should not abate the vigor of the ur one lota. In fact, their flag Is 'more despicable than their crimes, and a decent public will not tolerate Its flaunting colors. A few days ago there appeared again In the newspapers the bright and at tractive features of Mrs. Hill and her young innocents. The writer of this letter lived next door to her in Oregon City when she was a girl In her re spected father's home. Her features show what her girlhood presaged, that she was a careful, alert, zealous and capable mother with two splendid little children. She and her children and her husband butchered in their sleep! What Innocence or care can protect the benisn Individuals of society against such malignance as that? Why do we not hear from these tender-hearted "Christians" on the perpetration of such heinous crimes? Why do not their righteous souls boil over on such occa sions? IJttle Barbara Holzman, with her market basket, as Innocent of fear as little Red Kldlnghood. thought she trod the pavements of a friendly city. What did she know of the human fiends that Portland sent out of its Jungle to de vour her? Did the Image of the child's contorted face In her death struggle wring a tear from these political angels of mercy? With what question did her agonized soul vibrate the sky of Port land as it winged its way across the borders of life? Te tender-hearted apologists for her murderer, ye were silent then, and for shame you should be silent now. The fate of this child, of the Hill children, of Mrs. Wehrman and her child appeals not to them. Pity for such is too commonplace for their exalted souls. Ordinary and orderly humanity Is is obnoxious to them. It is only when the soul of man rises above such ignominious qualities as human sympathy that their apprecia tion is touched. Johnson, the unso phisticated farmer, who . grew an orchard and sold it for a nice "bunch of money." Is a worthless fellow, not deserving their high sympathy. Their tears are not the tears of the ordinary "hypocrite." and flow only for the poor Webb nnd Mrs. Kersch, who were en ticed Into crime by the evil association of this poor yokel, willing in his in fatuation for a woman he evidently didn't know to marry her and Invest his money at her direction. On a steamer going to Coos Bay I heard this same plea from a man who claimed to have been on the Kersch Jury, that "Johnson was no good, any way." Even if Johnson were the one on trial, what can the standards of these people be? The one an obscure and Industrious farmer: the others, leading a wholly criminal and pervert ed life adventurers and thieves. The woman was one of these coarse. Im moral creatures willing to lead the life which belles her sex. and able to do so without that destructive hiatus in her career which sends most women lead ing such life into the vortex of dissi pation and renders them incapable of any orderly occupation. Such women as Mrs. Kersch can appear to be honest women, support themselves with honest labor, apparently, and thereby deceive an ignorant, morbid old hermit as Johnson mut have been. But why do we have to defend the folly of honest men against the aspersions or the de generate criminal and his defender? Is this the fruit of the "higher criti cism" of which our censorious young lawyer prates? Are these the early rays of the "rosy dawn" of the Neltzschean philosophy, being Introduced by our Portland savants, as the triumphant successor to the outworn and decadent creed of mu tual responsibility which it denominates "herd morality"? If so. permit us, most high "super men." to raise In opposition tha flag of the gentleman, and in the name of the ancient faith, to defend our own. to encourage every other to do like wise, and to Invite those opposing this ancient law to step off the earth In a peaceable, orderly and legal manner. .
