J3 ROYAL. HAIL HAY ADVA SAILINGS If Sufficient Tonnage Is Of fered Initial Ship Could Come Here in April. CHANGE ADDS TO MARKETS Hamburg-American Tariffs In Mail So Paciflo Coast Agent Will Be in Position to Accept Business Within a Few Pays. Seeking to get an equal foothold here with the Hamburg-American Line, and It possible be first on the ground to start an Oriental service, the Koyal Mail Steam Packet Company has of fered to send Its Initial vessel here in April, providing sufficient tonnage Is promised, though It was officially an nounced last week that the Monmouth shire would lead the fleet, and she was scheduled to arrive In May. Because of the apparent effort of the Boya' Mail to break into the territory the same month as the Hamburg-American announced it would be resdy to handle shipments here, it Is neuevea th latter will hasten the Sithonla. which Is said to be the vanguard of the fleet, and If possible she will get away before the latter part of April. KhnuM either line guarantee to have a steamer from Portland in March it is certain they would be given plenty of cargo, for there Is no carrier iisiea iir that period. Twickenham Cargo Ready. The British steamer Twickenham, due about Saturday, is the only vessel un der engagement to load Oriental cargo, and she will be filled principally by the Portland Flouring Mills Company and Mitsui A Co. There is flour or dered that could go forwardUin March conveniently to shippers, and If a steamer can be engaged for that month there will be less to move in April, by which time there should be an abund ance of tonnage. In an official communication from the headquarters of the Hamburg American Line, received yesterday. Fritz Klrchoff. general agent on this Coast, was adlvsed that the original announcement of a monthly service would be abided by for the present; that Portland would be the terminal of the fleet, the city would be given preference in the matter of space and that all details had been decided. Tar iffs applying to and from Portland, both to the Orient and Europe, have been worked out and are being for warded, so by the last of the week Mr. Klrchoff probably will be in position to accept bookings for the Sithonla. Shanghal Hade Port of Call. One change has been made in the schedule through which the steamers bound to and from Portland will call at Shanghai. That is viewed as an Im portant step, for considerable cargo moves from Portland to that territory. Besides, the Hamburg-American main tains the Imperial German Naval Mall service from Shanghai to North China ports, including Dalny and other im portant cities, steamers operating twice each week, so that another large field is opened to shippers. f.EXERAk IE XEGRIER SAFE 1-Ycnch Bark Sails Via Cape of Good Hope and Is Becalmed. ASTORIA. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) Tlie overdue French bark General de Negrier arrived this morning. 198 days from Cherbourg, with general cargo from Newcastle, England, for Portland. Captain Humbert reports an unevent ful trip, except that he encountered a series of calms and contrary winds which accounted for the unusually long passage. The bark came via the Cape ot Good Hope, and for days at a time made almost no progress. Both the ves sel and her cargo are In good condition; and everyone on board is welL General cargo brought aboard the leneral de Negrier is consigned to Meyer, Wilson & Co. The vessel was under charter to load outward with wheat, for the Portland Flouring Mills Company, but her failure to report ln the river by 6 P. M. Friday lost the business for her owners. The ship was spoken August 17, and the fact that she had not been heard from later, and her unusually long passage, were respon slble for fears that she had met with trouble. IOCK'S OPEXIXG IS PLANTED When Gateway to Valley Is Made Free Crowd Will Be There. To show Portland's Interest In the acquisition of th locks and canal at Oregon City by the War Department, an excursion will be run from this city the day Major Mclndoe formally takes over the property on behalf of the Government The date will depend on when authorities at Washington ap prove the deed. Papers in the case will be forwarded shortly by Major Mc lndoe and. Immediately on being given notice that they are satisfactory, he will arrange to place men In cbarg of the locks and all tolls will be elimin ated. The Oregon City Transportation Company. operating the - steamers Grahamona. Oregona and Pomona, be tween Portland and Upper Willamette cities, has volunteered to place the steamer Grahamona at the disposal of commercial Interests for the trip, and probably 400 guests will be Invited. The. "Live Wires" of Oregon City will be asked to assist the Commercial Club and Chamber of Commerce in the ex ercises, and the Grahamona will carry the visitors through the canal on the first trip free. rPSOX KECALIS TTPHOOX Captain Stewart Returns on Man nlngtry After Few Experiences. Captain Alex Stewart, master of the British steamer Manningtry, which ar rived last week and la loading lumber at Westport. sprung a surprise on A. L. Upson, chief clerk In the office of Major Mclndoe. Corps of Engineers, U. S. A-. yesterday when he called, as the last time the two met it was on a trip to Manila, when the British steamer Palitina carried forage from Portland for the Army and Mr. Upson was a passenger. On the run to the Islands the ship was tossed by a typhoon and had other experiences, so Mr. Upson has a vivid recollection of the passage. Later Captain Stewart was trans ferred to another steamer and loaded coal oil at New York for Vladlvostock. during the Russian-Japanese war, and on the way was boarded and, searched by sailors of a Japanese mar-o'-war, but was permitted to proceed, only to be taken in custody by the Russians Captain Stewart, his chief engineer and the ship's cook were made prison ers. The Russians managed to dem onstrate how little they knew of navi gation and wrecked the vessel. The Manningtry will shift today from West port to Prescott. She Is loading lum ber for Sydney and worked a part cargo at Eureka. FOREIGN AGENT SEES HARBOR Representative for Danish Line Here to Flan Future Service. Olaf Jarner. of Copenhagen, repre senting the East Asiatic Steamship Company,' who is here to collect Infor mation bearing on cargo that might move to and from Portland with the opening of the Panama Canal, was shown through the harbor yesterday on the harbor patrol launch by G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer of the Commis sion of Public Docks. Mr. Jarner has been here several days, and considerable data have been furnished Biro by the Chamber of. Commerce. He visited. Puget Sound and Intends going from here to San Francisco, Honolulu, and thence to China. While Mr. Jarner has not Im parted to those he has met what plans are contemplated, it is believed the company Intends entering into the European-Oriental-Pacific Coast trade.

News was received yesterday that an excursion will be conducted in March aboard the steamer Alameda to the Panama Canal, the vessel leaving Se attle March 15 and from San Francisco March 19. Commercial bodies along the Coast are expected to be represented. A period of three days will be allowed for an inspection of the canal, and It will probably be the last opportunity to view the foundation work, as It Is to b flooded during the Summer so the first vessel may be taken through the latter part of 1913. Captain T. J. Macgenn has been signed on at the Custom-House as mas ter of the steamer Breakwater, suc ceeding Captain H. C. Nelson, who was in command while, Captain Macgenn was In the East In command of Captain Bernard Kelly, a skipper known from one end of the Coast to the other for his Celtic ancestry, the steamer Westerner has entered from San Francisco and cleared for the return with a lumber cargo measuring 605,000 feet.

In ballast from Vancouver, B. C, the British steamer Santa Rosalia has en tered at the Custom-House. The vessel will load about 1200 tons of wheat and 300 casks of tallow tor Europe, and proceed to San Francisco to complete her cargo.

NEW EXECUTIVE IS HINTED Probable Successor to 'William 3T. Ferrin, as President, Likely to Be Up for Consideration by Members of Board. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY:. Forest Grove, Or., Feb. 3. (Special.) The semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees of Pacific University will be held today at 1 o'clock In the parlors of the Young Men's Christian Association building. Besides the routine work of the board It is likely that the matter of obtain ing a change in the executive of the school will be taken up. At the regular meeting last June the resignation of President 'William N. Ferrin was asked for by a consider able number of the board, the result ot the vote taken on this standing eight to eight. As a compromise measure. President Ferrin was relieved of all actual duties pertaining to the govern ment of the school, being retained as financial agent. A committee of three, chosen from the faculty, was author ized by the board to have full charge of the local administration. This com mittee is composed of Professor Frank C. Taylor, chairman; Principal H. L. Bates, of Tualatin Academy, and Pro fessor William G. Harrington. If action Is taken today it will be in ac cord with the general plan suggested by the members of the board at the June meeting of last year. It Is the plan of the trustees Imme diately to Increase the endowment 8200,000 to provide for a more effi cient teaching staff and provide more adequate funds for other running ex penses. Of this amount 840,000 has been offered by James J. Hill on the condition that an additional $160,000 can be procured. Mr. Ferrin has been working on this fund, in the East, but as yet no definite report has been re ceived as to his progress. With this added amount the endowment of the school will be above 8450.000. The board of trustees is compased of the following members: President. B. S. Huntington. Charles E. Wolverton. Rev. Luther R. Dyott, Dr. J. R. Wilson, Newton McCoy, Frank Warren, Jr William T. Fletcher, A. U Mills, George H. Marsh and Milton W. Smith, all of Portland; Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendle ton: Eugene P. McCornack and Philip E. Bauer, of Salem; J. Q. A. Bowlby, of Astoria; Napoleon Davis, of Aurora; E. W. Haines and John E. Bailey, of Forest Grove. . SOCIETY IS DEFENDED WOODWARD, BEACH AJTD FAR RELL ARE CHAMPIOXS. Boys and Girls' Aid Organization Would Be Affected Vitally, Say Defenders, If Bill Passes. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 3. (Special.) W. L. Woodward. S. E. Beach and Etate Senator Farrell ap peared before the Multnomah County delegation today to defend the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society against .a pro posal in the Juvenile Court law which they declared will hit at the very life of the Institution itself and perhaps destroy it if the particular portion of the bill should go through. These three are members of the board in charge of the institution. Incidentally, Superintendent Gardner, of the Institution, came in for some mild reproof, not only at the hands of Mr. Woodward, but also from members of the Multnomah County delegation. Mr. Woodward declared openly that he was not appearing In defense of Super intendent Gardner, that he was fully aware of the fact that criticism had been directed against the superintend ent, "and perhaps properly so," he said. But he made a plea tor the preserva tion of the institution against legal en croachments which he felt certain would cause the instlution to labor un der heavy difficulties If they did not result in disruption or tne society which has nurtured It during its growth. The proposal in question wouia matte It compulsory for the society to re ceive any child that would be forced upon it, and take the discretion as to the children out of the hands of the trustees. In event the trustees failed to accept a child then the aid from the state could be arbitrarily removed as a punitive, or perhaps, rather, as a coercive measure. Carpenter and Nolta said they had received complaints from a large num ber of Multnomah people as to a sys tem which was supposed to be In vogue under Superintendent Gardner's direc tion of sending a child out to a home for adoption and receiving the chiiu back a short time later, the child be ing registered, and thus resulting In an increased showing as to the popu lation of the home. Mr. Woodward said these reports are fallacious and that the system of book keeping used makes such a showing impossible, and further added that even if such reports were made they would be of no advantage, as the Institution is not conducted on a per capita prin ciple. The trustees urged that an investi gation, most searching In its nature, be made by the legislative Investiga tion committee. The committee probably will recom mend that an amendment be made to the bill which will remove the feature tuat is opposed by the trustees. Judge Lis tens will be further heard before the final report Is adopted. BLAME FOR WRECK PLACED Steamer Geo. W. Elder Held to Blame for Collision With Kern. The collision between the steamers Geo. W. Elder and Daniel Kern In the Columbia River at night a few years ago, by which the latter was sunk, has been a constant source ot argument among river men as to which vessel was to blame. In a decision handed down yesterday by United States District Judge Bean it is found that the Geo. W. Elder was at fault, and directs that testimony be taken to determine the amount of dam ages that the owners of the Daniel Kern Incurred. . The matter came before the United States District Court through a libel suit of the Columbia Contract Com pany against the steamer Geo. W. El der for the sinking of the Daniel Kern, which occurred between Oak Point .and Wsterford light on the river. The trial of the case lasted several weeks, and the record of the testimony covered several thousand pages. Every phase of the collision was brought out, wltn side lights of expert testimony by steamboat men. . The decision of Judge Bean elimi nated everything except the facts that were shown by the testimony to have existed immediately preceding the col lision. This he recited in full, and comparing it to the rules of navigation, citing au thorities to support each, he found that Captain M. Moran. pilot In charge of the Daniel Kern at the time, had acted according to the established rules, and that Captain W. H. Patterson, pilot In charge of the Geo. W. Elder, was re sponsible for the collision and that It could have been avoided by the use of proper care. A time will be fixed tor the taking of testimony as to the amount of damages to be awarded to the Columbia Contract Company. Vessels Locations Ty Wireless. February 2- EaBt San Pedro. Cal.
