Waft Launched and to Have
Violated Federal lairs.
Though thousands arc entertained
dally by "movies" una the system of
action photography haa served many
purposes In depleting topographical
conditions, fleet maneuvers and the
like, the latest use found for them Is
bv the Government as a matter of
evidence against the tug Melville,
owned by the Callender Transportation
Company, of Astoria, which has been
libeled to collect a fine of $500 for an
alleged Infraction of the Federal
statutes limiting the number of pas
sengers to be carried.
The offense Is averred to have taken
Place October 12. 1912. at St. Helena,
when the McCormick steamer Multno
mah was launched, and while the Mel
ville has a license for "5 persons, it
is cited that she had on board lis pas
sengers. At arst a fine of $59 was to
have been levied, but official Wash
ington has decreed that J500 shall be
collected and as the owners refused
to pay it. an order was issued that
libel proceedings be instituted.
On the day of the launching, moving
plctnre operators were at work,
"taking" the vessel as Bhe slid into
the water, the crowds and lncidently
the fleet standing by. loaded with
sightseers. Custom-House Inspectors
obtained copies of single photographs
of the Melville and declare that the
count thev mr.de of her passengers was
accurate, but In further support of
their statements say they will produce
a moving-picture film of the scene in
an effort to show thereby that the tug
was crowded beyond the number al
lowed In her license.
The case was to have been called to.
Any In the Federal Court, but owing to
the absence of counsel for the vessel's
owners It will be continued and an
effort will no doubt be made during
the trial to hnve the court and In
terested barristers witness a produc
tion of the film, so that a count may
be made of the number of passengers
in sight, as they crowded the rail to
witness the plunge of the Multnomah.
CrDAHT TO BE REPAIRED HKRE
Port of Portland Will Collect fsnal
Towage Charge for Rescue.
There will be no salvage claim made
against the Grays Harbor Tugboat
Company by the Port of Portland Com

towed the helpless tug John A. Cudahy
into the river early yesterday after
the latter had exhibited distress sig
nals when she lost her rudder. Rep
resentatives of the company and Cap
tain Fairer, of the tug. are to confer
here today to determine whether she
will be repaired at Portland or towed
to Grays Harbor.
The Cudahy had towed a barge
laden with anchors, hawsers and other
gear to the stranded German bark
Ml mi. north of Nehalem. and was on
her way back to the Columbia when
the rudder carried away. Fortunately
Bhe was rescued In advance of the
southeast blow of yesterday, whlrn

miles an hour. Toward evening the
wind shifted to the westward, and at
5 o'clock it was blowing but 13 miles.

XO FRESHET rKOSPF.CTIVE
Willamette Is Lower by Two Feet
Than Is Usual.
Pessimists circulating prognostica
tlons of floods to come this Spring can
not depend on E. A. Beals. District
Forecaster of the Weather Bureau, for
corroboration on the strength of pres
ent Indications, for he says that the
Willamette at Portland is a comfort
able two feet lower than is usual for
this season and there is nothing In the
present rain to threaten dire results in
the way of a quick and heavy rise.
The gauge here yesterday showed a
stage of ,1.8 feet above zero and in the
previous 24 hours the stream had fal
len seven-tenths of a foot. Reports
from Riparla and Umatilla showed the
snake and Columbia had fallen slight
ly, and every station on the Willamette
above Portland also recorded a decline.
The river Is expected to remain sta
tionary today and rise slightly tomor
row. ' Should snow In the mountains
melt rapidly under warmer tempera
tures, or an unusually heavy deluge of
rain manifest itself, the Willamette
would become turbulent, but the out
look now Is for a continuance of an
ordinary stage until the June freshet.

British fleet, are to reach Portland to
day from Puget Soun.l In the Interest
of the Koyal Mail, which will have its
first steamer, the British tramp Uar

Mr. was here over a year ago
to Inspect conditions and the prospect
of business with the opening of the
Panama Canal, and passed several
days in the city. He viewed the har

is assumed this time he will meet with
those who contribute toward Oriental

each take out about 3i0.000 feet of lum

Oakland brought a quantity of anchor
chain to be used for a mooring buoy to
be placed outside of the Sluslaw bar.
For the present, much of the lumber
from the Tidewater Mill will be car

schooners. They will be towed by a
large tug that will leave them moored
to the buoy so a Florence tug can bring
them Into the harbor on the same tide.

an nniio the bushes aside for the
smooth traveling of the Chicago Opera
Company, was in rortianu
and In the midst of work, real work,
too, such as you'd never believe a praise
agent could do, he found time to chat
about the fads of the three great
women artistes who head the musical
organization. There's Mary Garden,
Luisa Tetrazzlnl and Caroline White,
and if one is to believe a man who has
known them individually for seven
years, then truly this trio Is like unto
no other that ever traveled.
"First let me tell you of Madame

who rattles it off so rapidly I had a
hunch he had said It all before, and
often. 'Tetrazzini has the biggest ool
lecUon of dolls and the collection of
biggest dolls in the world. In every
town, hamlet, city of every country in
which she sings she purchases dolls.
They are dressed in the costume of the
country she gets them from. Then
she has novelty dolls, some that sing,
some that dance, many that talk and
one marvelous representation of her
self, which has a phonographic in

"Hasn't she any babies?" I asked.
"They're nicer than dolls."
"Ah, Madame is the most maternal

delights in her dolls as the next best
thing."
"She is a dandy cook. too. Last
Sunday she cooked the Easter dinner
for Mr. and Mrs. Leahy's guests. Mr.

After a detailed investigation of the
feasibility of a municipal electric nsnc
Intr Bystem in Portland, J. H. Cun
ningham, consulting hydraulic engineer
employed by Mayor Rushlight to make
estimates of tho probable cost of a
system on the Clackamas River, has
prepared and submitted a report show
ing that the entire plant could be in
stalled and put in operation for $2,-
433.538.
The plan as outlined in the report is
to Install a hydraulic system on the
Clackamas River 12 miles southeast
of the city and to extend transmission
lines directly into the city to supply
all the lights required for the lighting
of streets and public buildings.
The reDort marks completion of the
first step in the general investigation
which the Mayor is conducting. His
plan is to look into the feasibility of
plants on two other streams, one south
of Portland and another In Washing
ton, near the Columbia River. He is
also investigating the possibility and
the feasibility of the city acquiring
the street lighting system of the Port
land Railway. Light & Power Company.
In conferences held with officials of the
company the question has been consid
ered, but nothing has been done as yet.
Obstacles Are Seen.
Mayor Rushlight said yesterday that
as far as his investigation has gone the
purchase of the company's system
would not seem feasible because of the
fact that the street lighting system is
closely interwoven with the commercial
lighting system.
The investigation which the city is
proposing will require probably two
or more years to complete. If found
feasible it Is likely the question of
building a plant will be submitted to
the voters under the initiative.
The report of Engineer Cunningham
shows that for a plant on the ClacK
amas River the best plan would be to
divert the water into a flume 514 miles
in length extending to the site as se
lected 12 miles from the city. "A
maximum of 16,900 horsepower can be
develoDed here at extreme low water.
says the report, "and the minimum
constant power is now 6suu norse
power.
Detailed Estimate Made.
"On the completion of the storage
reservoir, which the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company will construct,
the minimum constant power will be
8360 horsepower and the maximum low
water power 21,600 horsepower. This
maximum cower is provided by a reser
voir of 13,000,000 cubic feet capacity at
the power-house site and Is lntenaea
tn tuicn rare of the hourly load fluctua
tions, which with an ordinary lighting"
and power load never exceed three
hours' duration.
Following is an estimate of the cost
of construction of a plant ior tne cny.
Headworks. $95,780; canals, J30.275;
flume. J304.379; reservoir, $175,250;
penstocks, $62,409; power-house, $78,
