THE MOKXING OKEGCJNTAW, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1U, 1913. 10 PILOTS ANNOUNCE A REDUCED RATE Tonnage Cost for Handling Tramp Steamers Dropped From Two Cents to One. INDEPENDENTS MAKE MOVE Claim Made That Prior to Competi tors' Kntry Columbia River A sociation Charged From $50 to $80 a Round Trip. Independent pilots operating on the Willamette and Columbia rivers be tween Portland and Astoria have an nounced a reduction In rates for hand ling tramp steamers. Instead of the charge being $2 a foot draft and two cents a ton based on tne net regmcr, they will charge 2 a foot draft and nno rant a. ton net register. Captains Short and Babbldge comprise the. independents ana tney saia yes terday that a circular letter would ' be Issued at once, dated August 12. to be mailed to all steamship owners -ina agents on the Coast announcing the re duction. They say that the greatest charge against a tramp steamer Is on the tonnage, because she does not draw much on entering the river and the rate of $1 a foot is not material as compared with the tonnage feature, so that under the reduced tar'ff It will mt down the expense more than a third. The independents came Into the fie'd a year ago In March in opposition to the Columbia River Pilots" Association and they say that they were respoftslole for a reduction of 20 per cent in tne tariff for handling steam schooners, which, previous to their advent on the river, paid from 50 to $80 for the trip from the sea to Portland and return. Captain Short said that the Independ ents had other pilots to assist mem in emergencies, tut at present they were not rushed and decided to make a diu for the tramp steamer patronage. They ollot steamers of the Olson c aianony and Hartwood Lumber Company fleets and a part of the vessels operated by the E. K. wood Luraoer company. The Columbia River Pilots" Associa tion has cared for most of the busi ness and it Is expected that If the move of the independents interferes with Its revenue the cut will be met and prob ably a further reduction will result. "TRAMP" WILL CARRY WHEAT Strath" Carrier and Harpalyce to Load for Europe. Two tramps were engaged yesterday to load wheat at Portland for the United Kingdom, one of the "Strath" fleet having been chartered by Kerr. Gifford & Co.. and the British steamer Harpalyce. a new carrier and one able to take care of considerable cargo, was the second, but her charterer was not made known. The '"Strath" steamer is said to have been offering earlier at 48s d. but cables did not state If she was taken at the figure. The Harpalyce Is com paratively new, having been launched la June, 1911. and was last reported as sailing from New York July 4- for Kewchang and Cheefoo. She Is 428 feet long, has a beam of 55. 5 feet and depth of hold of 29 feet, her gross ton nage being 5940. and she is or 3ol tons net register. With the engage ment Wednesday of the big British steamer Algoa to load wheat for the United Kingdom, the charter or the Wlllesden a few days ago for the same business, and that of the Hartley over a week ago, it appears as If consider able grain would be moved to Europe this season by steam tonnage. RAIX SAVES POXTOOX WORK Willamette's Fleet Will Have Tight Decks Again. Rain was welcomed by those respon sible for the new pipe-line pon toons built for the Port of Portland Commission, to be used in conjunction with the steel dredge Willamette, which Is being completed at the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, because during the warm weather the deck seams of the pontoons are said to have opened and were in such condition that they would not be accepted by the Commis sion when the dredge was turned over. The Portland Shipbuilding Company constructed the pontoons under a sub contract from the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. On being oompleted the Willamette interests gained permission from the Port of Portland to moor the pontoons at the public drydock, though it was fully understood that they would not be accepted in advance of the dredge. The Portland Shipbuilding Company declined to assume responsi bility for the seams opening, setting up that when the pontoons were ac cepted by the Iron Works liability of the builders ended. It was estimated that about $600 would be required to fix the seams had not the rain arrived opportunely. BEAR IS BIG MILK CARRIER Vessel Has 3S0 Tons of Condensed Product for Southern Market. In a cargo of the steamer Bear, "bulldog" of the Harrlman coastwise fleet, which departs this morning from Ainswortn dock with all the cabin pas sengers she can accommodate and a number also in the steerage, is included 13 carloads of condensed milk that was manufactured in Oregon, a product that is being sold through California, New Mexico and other southern ter ritory and it Is said that seldom does one of the "Big Three" fleet sail with out having at least Ave cars of the tanned dairy stock. The milk represents approximately 330 tons and there are 12,080 cases, some of them being tails with 48 cans to the case, others being "babies" with 96 in each case and more being gallons with 12 in a case. Incidentally, the Bear will draw 19.7 feet aft and 19 feet forward, said to be the deepest draft attained by any of the present Harrl man fleet leaving Portland. Beside the milk she has wheat, rolls of paper, two carloads of sash weights, 50 tons of plgiron and other heavy cargo, 2700 tons In all. FRENCH BARK REXE (RETLRXS High Rate to Be Paid for December Loading. Hind. Rolph A Co. have taken another square rigger for new-crop wheat, the French bark Rene, which has the option of loading at Portland or Taco ma. but if ready In December the rate will be 41s 3d, and If delayed until January It Is to be 40s 9d. It is said that the Rene Is one of the last French bounty-earners that will sail to the Coast from Dunkirk in ballast. In connection with the charter of the British steamer Ockley by Frank Waterhoo.se to load flour in October for the Orient, it Is reported here that options have been given on space for 4800 tons of flour and 2000 tons remai to be secured to Insure the vessel sail ing direct from Portland to Hongkong and Manila. The Ockley is en route from Norfolk for San Francisco with coal for the Government and has been taken on time charter. Owners of steamer being worked on yesterda Indicated that they would consider time charter, but exporters prefer to engage steam tonnage for single voy ages. Marine Notes. News was forwarded yesterday that the British oil tank steamer Cordell had arrived at Seattle, and In a few days she will proceed to St. Helens to complete discharging a cargo or creo sote. The vessel halls from Amster dam, and will engage in the trans Pacific oil trade. To tow the schooner Irene to West Dort the steamer Ocklahama left down yesterday. .

Auto scorchers evidently have few friends among the Harrlman officials, for a notice has been posted at the approach to Ash-street dock limiting the speed of cars on that property to four miles an hour. Coming from San Pedro and San Francisco with general cargo and ce ment. the steamer Klamath, of the Mc Cormlck fleet, arrived in the harbor yesterday afternoon. She had a large passenger list, and Is expected to have all accommodations taken when she sails on the return Tuesday afternoon. The steamer Northland is scheduled to sail Wednesday. She is bringing 600 tons of merchandise and an average passenger list Bringing 3000 barrels of cement, the nrst she has carried In nearly a year for Oak-street dock, the steamer Johan Poulsen Is due Monday. The steamer Coaster, with a cargo that will be di vided between Olson A Mahony and the Dodge line. Is looked for tomorrow from the south, and the steamer Tem ple E. Dorr will arrive Monday with 3000 barrels of cement for Supple's dock. Bids will be advertised for next week by Major Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers, U. s. A for the construction of floating piledrlver, for which tenders are to be opened September 4. and for boilers to be installed In the dredges Multnomah and Wahkiakum, that, will be opened September 14. On her last voyage from Portland the British steamer Orterlc, owned by Andrew Weir A Co., of Glasgow, and operated under the agency of Frank Waterhouse A Co.. sailed from Port land for Oriental ports and Manila, via Puget Sound, at 4 o clock yesterday afternoon. She carried 30,625 barrels of flour valued at f 122.500 and 1,767,250 feet of lumber worth 321,350, while there was a shipment of 36,426 sacks of oats for the Government at Manila, appraised at $87,889, also 90 cases of lard compound valued at 3833. It is thought that In two weeks checks will have arrived from Wash ington with which to pay members of the crew of the old lighthouse tender Manzanlta who lost personal effects when she sank. Harbormaster Speler completed prac tical tests of applicants for examina tion as engineers of the harbor patrol launch yesterday, and reports will be filed with the Civil Service Commis sion. As the work of driving piling for the falsework of the new Broadway bridge has been begun on the East Side, Har bormaster Speler has requested mas ters and pilots of vessels to proceed slowly past the piers.

Tnlffnatlnn nlAVallAll VAKtrd&.V In circles visited this week by Mrs. Maurice Bloch. or San francisco, ior merly Mrs. Henry Ackerman, of this city, when It became known inai sne Provincial Zeaopboa Cyril, Leader Who Will Direct Retreat for Christian Brothers Here Next Week. Provincial Zenophon Cyril will direct the eight-day annual re treat for Portland and Walla Walla Christian Brothers, edu cators, which will open Sunday in the Christian Brothers' Busi ness College, Grand avenue and Clackamas street. Rev. Father Skelly, O. P., of San Francisco, has arrived and will preach the retreat. The provincial expects to take a number of young men from Portland to California, where, they will enter the novi tiate, or house of training, to prepare themselves for entering the order of Christian Brothers. The ceremony of taking the re ligious habit will be held at Martinez, Cal., August IB, and on that occasion Timothy Ryan and Donald Storm, of this city, will don the black robe of the Chris tion Brothers' order. At close of the retreat in Portland teachers for the Portland and Walla Walla Colleges will be appointed. had been pursued by telegraphic war rants Thursday while traveling from here to San Francisco on the Shasta Limited, upon complaint of Mark Schlussel, real estate dealer, that she tole $4100 from him 13 years ago, That Schlussel was actuated purely by malice, and had at all times In the past 13 years ready recourse for any wrong done him by Mrs. Bloch, Is the assertion freely made by her friends, and particularly by Nathan D. Simon, her attorney. Assurances from substantial citizenB that Mrs. Bloch would be produced at any time when her presence is desired brought about the virtual withdrawal of the warrant against her, which, after having been attempted to be served at Dunsmulr, Red Bluff and Oakland as the train reached those cities, lay dor mant In the hands of Constable Wein berger yesterday. Pending a fuller in vestigation of the facts, no attempt will be made to serve It. Cameron Wary at Start. Mrs. Bloch came here openly with her family last week and was exten sively entertained in prominent fam ilies. Not till the night of her de parture did Schlussel move. Then he made representations to the District Attorney that the woman, at the time of the death of her former husband, Henry Ackerman, had taken a key from his pocket, opened a safety deposit vault and removed ?4100 belonging to Schlussel. He also represented that she had been legally a fugitive ever since. Cameron was wary and required the fact of her' non-residence in the interim to be made a part of the body of the complaint. Voicing the feelings of many of Mrs. Bloch's friends. Attorney Simon made the following statement: 'The grossly unjust and unfounded attack on Mrs. Maurice Bloch by one Mark Schlussel, as noted in The Ore- gonlan, has caused the greatest in dignation among the very many friends of Mrs. Bloch residing In this city. There Is absolutely not the slightest ground for any of the statements made by Schlussel. So far as his associa tion with the late Henry Ackerman is concerned, my understanding has al ways been that he was working merely n a commission basis or for some compensation of xthat character, and was in no way a partner or Interested to any extent in - his business enter prises. Further-more, I feel absolutely safe In stating that there was nothing in any safe deposit vault, safe or any other place of value, particularly of a onetary value, at the time of Mr. Ackerman's unfortunate death. Mrs Bloch, then Mrs. Ackerman. had been a resident of the City of Port land for many years, and few, if any. persons were ever held In higher esteem by the multitude or mends to whom she had endeared herself, than she. Her character has been and is of the very highest, and none who know her peak of her except in the very warmest terms of praise and affection. After the death of Mr. Ackerman, his widow, who had, prior to her coming to Portland, "been a resident of San Francisco, where her parents had also resided for many years, and where most of her relatives still live, decided to return to that city and did so. Ever since then she has resided in San Francisco, a fact which was well known to hundreds of Portland peo ple, Including Schlussel himself. Property Owned Here. 'There was no reason why, if his charges had any foundation in fact, he could not have brought them years ago, as It is a well-known rule of law that a person who is charged with a crime within one state can alwava be brought from wherever he or she is at the time the complaint or information is filed. No difficulty whatever would have been caused In finding Mrs. Bloch or in bringing her here if there was any ground for the charges. Instead of doing so, however, this party waited until she had visited her former home, and lor tne sole pur nose of causing her the greatest pos- slble humiliation and distress of mind, had the warrant Issued. Undoubtedly the sole purpose was to hurt her as much as possible. He of course could not injure her in the estimation of the hundreds of Portland people who know and esteem her. but no doubt he fully realized that he could cause her great mental anguish and Humilia tion, especially if he could cause Mrs. Bloch's arrest in a public place such as the hotel or upon a train. "In addition to the fact that Mrn. Bloch' whereabouts has been known ever since she left Portland, a further fact Is that she had at the. time of her departure, and for some years sub seauent thereto, owned property in thi: city, the record title of which was ia her name and tne value or wnicn wai in excess of the amount of the al leged claim. In other words, the entire proceedings shows a malice and hatred that is almost exceptional in its con temptibleness. As a personal friend of Mrs. Bloch of many years stand ing, and as her attorney, I feel that these facts should be brought to public attention, especially as the article re ferred to received so much publicity and is being widely commented upon. The attack Is most cowardly and con temptible and will no doubt receive no further consideration from the public officials, as they have been advised and know the animus of the entire matter, GUARD ORDER TO STAND GEXERAX STAFF TO DISBAND SECOND BATTAliIOX. Officers and Men Not at Maneuvers ' Will Form Nucleus of New Battalion to Organize. By order of the general staff of th Oregon National Guard the Second Bat tallon of the Guard, which was involved in the mutiny at the close of the ma neuver campaign In Washington last month, will be disbanded at once In conformity with the disbandment order recently signed by all members of the staff and by Governor West. - At a meeting of the staff yesterday the mat ter was reconsidered and it was de cided that to carry out the order 1 imperative to preserve the dignity o the Guard as a whole. AdJutant-General Finzer will .pre pare the disbandment order today and it will be carried into effect as soon as the affairs of the battalion can be Dlaced In proper shape for the disor- ganization. The order will affect about 175 men who attended the en campment, excluding only the enlisted men and officers not at the maneuvers. They will be retained In the service as a part of a new Second Battalion, which will be organized as soon as possible. All the others will be mus tered out. In reaching the decision to disband the battalion the general staff prepared a statement setting forth Its conten tlons in the case and showing how the investigation, which resulted in the disbandment order, was conducted. In the statement the staff members declare that they acted deliberately and with ample evidence before , them of absolute disobedience or orders. Three members of the staff were pres ent at the time of the mutiny and had direct personal knowledge of what transpired. "Men with excellent military rec ords are affected by the order," reads the statement. "Some who are lnno cent of any wrong motive will be in volved. but. in the face of such a gen eral mutiny and disobedience, nothing less than disbandment seemed possioie. This action probably will have notn insr to do with the court of inquiry which has been called to hear the ar guments of the five officers of the bat talion who are alleged to nave neaaeu the mutiny. It will mean, however. that the officers have nothing to gain in their fight, inasmuch as the general staff has mustered them out. of the service. Threats have been made by tne Of ficers to the effect that evidence will h introduced at the court of lnqulrs, set for early In September, which will result in charges being brought against officers higher up In the uuara. just what the nature of these charges win be has not been made public.

Ray Sullivan, Deputy City Attorney, did not Inform the clerk at the Multno mah Hotel that his wife wodld occupy the room with him wtien, on June 15, he secured a room there for the night and did not register her name, -which was contrary to the rules of the hotel, are statements contained in the an swers filed by the hotel company yes terday to the suits of Mr. Sullivan and his wife In which each demands dam ages in the sum of 120.000. The rules of the hotel require every one staying at the hotel to register and precludes the entertainment by a male guest of one of the opposite sex in his room unless the relationship of hushana and wife or parent and child exists, it stated. Therefore, it is neia, tne watchman employed to see that this rule, is not violated was within his rights when he tapped at Mr. Sullivan's door and Informed him that no woman was sunposed to be in the room and that he would have to entertain her In the parlor, provided for that purpose.
