THE MOHXTVO OT?EOONTA". SATURDAY. APRIL. 27, 1913. 1f WEST COAST SAFE, DECLARES CAPTAIN Skipper Sees No Cause for Alarm of Americans in Mexico. JASEN CARRIES REFUGEES MiMrr of Vessel Plylne Between Portland .and South Not Op timistic Ocr Pros-pccls -for Future Car;o. in the opinion of FreU Jebson. who i operating th. Xorwfgliii steamer Jason from Portland an.i San Francisco to Mexican harbors, there Is little rea son for the stir that nan been made by Americana along- the Coast that has resulted In aome of them making their way to the Vnited States, ami prompted the Government to order the I nltrd fates Army transport Burord to leave Pan Francisco tomorrow night and patrol the west coast and pick up refugees. Mr. Jebson reached Portland yester lsr from the lower coast, bavins; traveled aa far as San Dlea-o on th Jason and she also reached Portland yesterday, but her charterer came from Southern California by rail. "We carried about a dosen women, two men and several children on the Jason from Manxanlllo to San Pieajo. thev heme the so-called refugees, said Mr. Jebson. "They came mostly, so I understood, from Guadalajara, and it seemed that they feared that in the .vent the rebels were victorious over the Government troops they would work south in that vicinity. I was in eight ports along; the coast and not In one did I And any disturbance. The roast region Is not the scene of a campaign and I think that most of the women we- carried were simply nervous." The Jason will begin loading a re turn cargo today at Oceanic dock and will shift to other berths to complete her load and about June 1 she will be in the harbor for her third wheat cargo. Mr. Jebson does not view the future as alluring for a permanent service to Portland. He says that there la to be a heavy movement of lumber to Mexico, but as the Mexicans who deal in box snooks prefer the material turned out on Grays Harbor to that of the Columbia River mills, and the lumber order ean move from either harbor, he thinks that the fourth voyage of the Jason will be from the north. The wheat buying Is at an end for the present, as Mexican millers say they are well stocked until they can ascertain their own crop prospects and hther the Government will continue to hold the order in force lowering the luty from 3 to I cent a kilo. At present wheat quotations prevailing here are too high for the Mexicans. WHITE HOPE OX niG TRAMP Kerr Hailed at New York a Man to Lead Caucasian. First Officer Kerr, of the British steamer Clan Maclver. who was hailed in New Tork ss the "white hope" last year, because he subdued a mutiny of Spanish sailors aboard the vessel by landing on one tar with such effect that the Don was carried ashore to recuperate in a hospital, denies that he has any pugilistic propensities. In stature he appears to advantage and probably even the dark skinned Jack Johnson has "nothing on him" in phy sical condition, but he only scraps when the emergenry. such as a mutiny, de mands that he act and at such times he has no regard for Marquis of Vfiiernebury rules. The Clan Maclver is commanded by Captain Wright, who, like Mr. Kerr, is on his nrst visit to Portland. She Is under time charter to carry Japanese oak ties from Mururan. Otaru. and other ports where she may be ordered, to Kan Pedro and San Diego for the use of the Santa Fe lines. Because of being in the Paciflc trade she has re leased her crew of Lascars, which the officers say are fine sailors, and has shipped a crew of Chinese, but many of them are green and as the officers are not familiar with "pidgin" they are having a difficult time being under stood. She will load a full cargo of flour for Hongkong. CITV MAY CTKAX AM. SLIPS norknien Hold That in loting Street End They Quit Work. Aa the city has demanded that prop erty owners on the waterfront vacate street ends leading to the river, tear away all structures thereon and main tain roadways only after regulations prescribed by the administration, the question has arisen among dockmen as to whether the city will police the ends of the thoroughfares, keeping the slips clear of refuse. It has been suggested that certain fire apparatus be detailed to wash down the slips at times when they are conducting their regular tests on Front street. During the Summer months, when hordes of small boys wander through the wholesale district with the hope that damaged water melons and other fruit will be diverted In their direction, the dock slips are often Jittered with peelings and melon rind. There has been a difference of opinion among dockmen as to who should clean the slips, though most of them order it done by their employes as a benefit to themselves and pas sengers. But as the city is to take over the street ends it is probable an effort will be made to have the street cleaning force attend to sweeping the slips. IMSTKIBITOK IS Ml'XCHED Tvrohj Bros.

PILOT MAKES LONG VOYAGE Gunderon Said to Hare Boarded Steamer Ort Cape Meara. W.ien Captain Archie Pease brought the British steamer Clan Maclver up the river Thursday he received a high compliment from Captain Wrlglit. her nisst.r. on the service being maintained at the mouth of the Columbia, which was flattering to Captain Tease aa a member of the Port of Portland Com mission. Captain Wright said that at about 5:30 o'clock Thursday morning he met one of the tugs dowt the coast, lie thought In th vicinity of Cape Mears. and Pilot C. S. Gunderaoru of the Port force, boarded the vessel and aided In the finale of a favorable voyage, as the steamer was only four days on the way from San Diego.

POCKS ARE BEING DRESSED Property Owners Prepare for Festi val and Coming of Elks. Mersey dock and others along the waterfront are being given fresh coats of whitewash and Harbormaster Speler. who is a member of the Elks' com mittee on river decorations, is seek ing to have all dock owners, who in tend improving the appearance of their property this season, to start the work in advance of the annual convention of the antlered herd. It Is probable that most of them will have .the overhauling completed in time for the Rose Festival. As most of the docks have strings of incandes cent globes along the river front it is planned to have them lighted at night during the two big events; some trans portation lines have promised to in crease the number of Illuminations and there will be special designs fashioned. with the bridge lights, decorations of vessels In the harbor and the docks all Illuminated the night view will be decidedly attractive.

HARMONY IS URGED Grant Would Dismiss Litiga tion With Railroad. CITY IN DANGER OF LOSING Courts May Hold Portland Has No Right to Oust Southern Pacific From Street Without Giving Line Other Entrance. After a short session yesterday morning the street committee of the City Council adjourned until 9:30 A. M. Tuesday, at which time the proposed franchise on Fourth street, sought by the Southern Pacific, will be further discussed. City Attorney Giant ex pressed the belief that pending litiga tion by the company should be dis missed. "The company sought to meet the city in a friendly way," said Mi. Grant, "and should. It seems to me' dismiss Its rase now before the United States Supreme Court. Then it would come before the Council on different terms, with nothing to reserve or to confuse the issues. It should forget the past and the city should do likewise: both should get together for the good of both." Southern 1'arlflc Mar Win.
