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.

A suit was filed in the Circuit Court

Spokane. Portland A Seattle Railway
Company to recover the racing motor-
boat Wigwam II and a 6-cyllnder, two-
cycle racing engine, or 6500. the value
placed on the property. The complaint
also asks for $100 damages and costs.
It asserts that the defendant has the
boat and engine in its warehouse and
refuses to deliver them to the plaintiff.
While the complaint does not say so, it
s understood the trouble Is over ap
proximately 2250 in extra freight
charges that have been assessed against
the boat for hauling It to Davenport,
la., and return, the allegation being
that an error was made in fixing the
rate originally. .

Provincial Zenophon Cyril will

in the Christian Brothers' Busi
ness College, Grand avenue and
Clackamas street. Rev. Father

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

Donald Storm, of this city, will

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.

HOTEL ANSWERS IN SUIT
Ray Sullivan Neglected to Register
Wife, Say9 Multnomah.
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.
It is denied that the house detective
used other than quiet or courteous lan
guage In addressing Mr. Sullivan, but
the latter. It Is alleged, became greatly
exolted when Informed that he would
have to go to the office and register
for his wife. The plaintiff and his wife
came down to the office and left In a
uff after the former had used consid
erable violent language, it is asserted.
