has thrown himself enthusiastically in
to the plan of extending the movement,
and will Invite Judge Gatens, Judge
Bronaugh and other students of youth
to aid him In making the body a real,

The young coppers made their hit
with Chief Slover when they reported
yesterday, with seriousness and dignity,
that they had unearthed a cigarette
smokers' den on Upper Washington
street, and had dismantled it.
On a vacant lot on King street, be
tween Washington and Davis, surrep
titious devotees of the coffin-nail had
cobbled together a shack, wherein, un
observed of men. they puffed and drew
their fill. One of the visitors dropped
an unwary word which reached the
ears of Chief William Blrchall. who
lives at 686 Everett street. He sum
moned a squad of 14 men and raided
the place.
The officers who participated in the
raid were Earl Garrison, Des Burns.

"We have taken the numbers of lots

Blrchall. yesterday. "We are looking
after some dirty backyards and will
report on them before long.
Every night Chief Blrchall and a
squad of big subordinates come to the
police station to observe how the big
policemen do things. The boys are
about 13 years old.
PADEREWSKI IS HONORED
Noted IManlst Recognized for Serv
ices to Poland.
WARSAW. April 2. Special.) Pa
derewski has been flving a series of
concerts here, and was everywhere re
ceived with enthusiasm, not only as the
greatest of living pianists, but on ac
count of his services to Poland.
At Friday's concert, given at the Phll
harmonlo Hall, many private individu
als and public Institutions sent bou
quets and wreaths of red and white
flowers, trimmed with amaranth-colored
streamers.
As white and amaranth are the Polish
natural colors, the police stood waiting
for the arrival of the flowers outside
the concert room and cut off the
streamers with their swords before they
allowed the flowers to be carried in.
Only one wreath, with yellow streamers
escaped mutilation.
Some enterprising persons managed
to pick up a few fragments while1 the
police were busy with the rest, and gave
them to Mme, Paderewski, who took
them away in her vanity bag.
For some time past Paderewski has
actively associated himself with the
National Democratic party, who have
gained enormous Influence throughout
the territory which once comprised the
Polish republic Their success in sub
stituting quiet and constant effort
toward the cultural and economic ben
efit of the country, in place of the
somewhat hot-headed policy of the old
fashioned patriots, has largely con
tributed to the upbuild of that new Po
land which Is undoubtedly gaining
strength even upon Russian territory,
to say nothing of the Poles in Germany
and Austria.
The Warsaw police authorities, pre
sumably wished to mark their disap
proval of Paderewskl's political activi
ties, but the higher-class Russian offi
cials here, as well as the army, con
demn the incident as tactless and child
ish. There is little doubt that the Balkan
war will bring the Polish question to
the front before long, on account of its
connection with Keo-Elavlsm.

Wireless Operators on Hand

NO WALKOUT TALK HEARD
Vessels In Colombia Harbor Report
Xo Immediate Trouble With. Em
ployes Rose City Expects to
Sail With Full Shift.
Wireless operators on ships in port
were at their posts yesterday, that is.
w ,.r, Ko tnr service, and vessels
of the Port of Portland fleet on the low
er river and outside reported no trouoie
because of the strike that has started
at San Francisco.
There were messages transmitted
V
if?
from Astoria late In the afternoon and
Harry Campion, superintendent or pi
lotage and towage for the Port, had
received no information that men on
the tugs were to walk ashore when
they docked. Operators are also main
tained on the dredge Columbia, which
Is at work below Astoria, digging a
channed to the north of Sand Island.
The steamer Rose City, which sails
Sunday for San Francisco, has two
wireless men on her staff and they are
standing by. The vessel is equippea
with a Massie apparatus. The strike
is directed against the Marconi Wire
less Company, which succeeded the
United Wireless Company on the Coast
last year.
COAST COJEMITTEE IS UNIQUE
Operators on Pacific Lead in Effort
to Better Own Conditions.
To the wireless operators manning
vessels that ply in and out of Pacific
Coast ports. Including Portland, is given
the distinction of being the forerun
ners In the fight to obtain higher wages
and better working conditions for a
new branch of skilled laborers, one of
the latest to be recognized by organ
ized labor. Their negotiations ended in
a strike order.
The committee is made up of com
paratively young men who belong to
the Pacific Coast union. They repre
sent men who have "been in the wire
less service since its infancy, several
sinoe the beginning of Marconi's prac
tical demonstrations, when the world
looked with doubt on the outcome of
the new Invention. Several of the men
began work when the wireless men
were mere novelties aboard the vessels
and when they worked for but little
more than their "keep" while on duty.
The rapid advance of the wireless and
the demand now for competent men
aboard the vessels are given as the
principal causes for the early steps in
having the department of labor organ
ized. The strike order Issued by the Com
mercial Telegraphers of America fol
lowed weeks of negotiations in which
this committee of Coast operators took
the leading part. There Is not another
committee of this kind in existence at
the present, it is said.
There are about 350 wireless opera
tors on the Coast, of whom about 2S0
are members of the union. The orig
inal committee which went before the
Marconi company was composed of H.
U. Sterrlck. chairman: G. R. Bannis
ter. D. W. Lord. O. E. Shcombel. A. B.
Roinbaugh and E. H. Miller. R. B.

Two Operators on Sound Strike, but
Alaska Vessels Sail.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 24. Al
though two wireless operators on the
steamship City of Seattle, of the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company's fleet
and one on the steamship Jefferson, of
the Alaska Steamship Company, re
sponded to the strike order of the Com.
merclal Telegraphers' Union of Amer
ica . both vessels sailed for Skagway,
Alaska, tonight, according to schedule.
The strikers' places on both vessels
were filled with nonunion men. The
Jefferson got away on time, but the
City of Seattle was delayed an hour.
Officers of the company explained
that the delay was coused by an order
issued at the last minute by the United
States health authorities that the mem
bers of the crew must be vaccinated.
VOSBXRG'si MASTER ACCUSED
Supervising Inspector Bulger Re
ports Alleged Violation.
United States Inspectors Edwards and
Fuller have set May 1 for the hearing
of charges against Captain J. C.'Reed,
master of the tug Geo. R. Vosburg. that
he "cross signaled" the steamer Beaver
April 17. The accusation Is made by
Captain John K. Bulger. Supervising
Inspector of Steam Vessels for the First
District, with headquarters at San
Francisco.
Captain Bulger, who visited here and
inspected a broken intermediate cylin
der aboard the steamer Northland and
prevented her from proceeding to sea
under her own power, was a passenger
on the steamer Beaver, returning to
his home. He recites that at 6:45 P.
M., April 17, the Beaver being bound
from Astoria to sea, she signalled the
tug Geo. R. Vosburg, also bound sea
ward with the barge Nehalem in tow,
with two whistles to pass to starboard
and the master of the Vosburg replied
with one whistle. As the Beaver will
be in the harbor next week, the hearing
was set when Captain Mason and others
of her crew could be on hand.
PILOTAGE OPPOSITION KEEN
Talk of Further Rate Cutting Heard
on Beach.
Captain E. D. Parsons, who recently
announced himself as an independent
pilot on the Columbia River bar, and
is working In conjunction with Captain
Richard Sandstrom, said yesterday it
was true as reported, that a round trip
rate of $250 had been quoted for tramp
steamers from the sea to Portland and
return, and that there would also be
a cut made on steam schooners, besides
a lower tariff quoted on vessels want
ing river pilotage.
The Columbia River Pilots' Associa
tion has not announced a reduction,
though both sides aver that rates are
being slashed.

the Federal Government was assessed
here today upon the ' North Pacific
Steamshln Corrmanv. Because the com
pany's vessel, the F. A. Kilburn, left
this port for Eureka several months
ago with only one operator aDoaru
when the law requires two, and be
cause the violation was not reported by
the company for two subsequent trips,
the Department of Commerce at Wash
ington Imposed a fine of $50, which
shall become $5000 If not paid within
30 days.
The Kilburn was delayed an hour
and a quarter yesterday by the wire
less operators' strike. She finally
cleared with one union operator, who
Is returning to Eureka under the terms
of his contract with the company, and
one non-union operator.
SITHOXIA CARGO ENLARGED
Shippers Here Furnish Hamburg
American Carrier 6500 Tons.
Portland is doing her share toward
starting the first steamer of the Hamburg-American
line, the Slthonla, across
the Pacific with plenty of cargo, for
this city has been allotted 600 tons
additional space on the vessel, and she
will leave port with approximately 6500
tons of freight loaded here.
The Hamburg-American had adopted
a policy of sending smaller steamers
to the Coast to arrive during the Sum
mer months, when flour shipments are
lighter, but later 10,000-ton carriers
will enter the river, - and should the
territory be canvassed to produce more
shipments to tide over the period' not
regarded as productive of full loads,
the larger carriers will be continued.
. Marine Notes.
Work of discharging ballast from the
Russian ship Marlechen was finished
yesterday, and it is expected to be
trimmed today so she will be ready to
start loading lumber at Linnton.
Arriving yesterday from San Fran
cisco In tow of the steamer Henderson
barge No. 93, of the Standard Oil Com
pany's fleet, began discharging at Will
bridge and will leave for sea tomorrow.
Captain W. H. Pope, a veteran mem
ber of the Columbia River Pilots' Asso
ciation, who passed the Winter in Cali
fornia, returned yesterday, accompanied
by Mrs. Pope. They passed much of
their time at Los Angeles and Oakland.
From Westport the barkentine Maka
well was shifted to Astoria yesterday,
the schooner Philippine was towed to
Wauna for lumber, and the schooner
Robert R. Hind will be shifted tomor

DEFECTS ARE CITED
City Engineering Department
Is Criticised.
LACK OF RECORDS CHARGED
New York Bureau of Municipal Re
search Says Better System of
Checking- on Work Done by
Contractors Necessary-
Lack of organization in the handling
of street, sidewalk, sewer and road Im
provements is declared by officials
of the New York Bureau of Municipal
ReseUrch to be a glaring defect in the
present department of city engineer
ing. The bureau yesterday made pub
lic the first of Its- reports on the de
partment, setting forth defects in or
ganisation and jurisdiction.
"As in the proper organization of
city departments, so in bureau and di
vision organizations within each ie-
ne,.An4' tUa nr.gnlT3tMl unit KhOllld
..."-"-! " v.
conform to the functions and activities
thereof, reads the report. This prin
ciple has not been adhered to in the
present organization of the department
"Notwithstanding the large amount
oi pavement construction, mere is a
total lack of comprehensive progress
reports on work done and material
used.
"How it is possible for the Executive
Board to exercise proper Judgment In
extending the time limits of contracts
hvnnri the time snecifled without cur
rent progress reports is beyond our
conception.
"Although it is of great advantage
to the administrator to have the com
plete history of each contract filed to
gether in one place, it has not been
done. For engineering purposes and
for current control over construction
operations duplicates should be readily
available.
Railroad Work Condemned.
"The street railroad companies are
required to maintain the street pave
ment between the outside rails of their
car tracks, and one foot in addition
each side. On almost every street
stone blocks are used as runners of
toothing stones from eight to 12 Inches
outside the car rail, although the street
proper is paved with sheet asphalt,
bltulithic pavement or wood blocks.
This principle in pavement construction
has been discarded by progressive
pavement engineers for some years.
TWO RESEARCH
"Proper control over the construction
and maintenance of substructures de
mands the preparation of recapitulation
maps showing the entire subsurface
condition of each street. Their ab
sence places serious difficulties in the
way of future pavement administra
tion and public utility control.
"Co-operation among employes and
co-ordination of effort cannot be ex
pected under present conditions. The
present chief clerk has the title with
out the 'powers. From experience in
many other cities, it has been found
that a fundamental cause for the lack
of efficiency In engineering and pub
lic works' departments has been the
lack of co-ordination and co-operation
between the accounting and the en
gineering. Records Declared Lacking.
"Fundamental accounts for control
over appropriations and expenditures,
contracts and open market orders, are
conspicuous by their absence
"The absence of information in the
central office In connection with pave
ment construction," Is equally notice
able in sewer construction. Particu
larly in sewer construction, where the
work after completion is underground,
it is absolutely essential that current
statements of quantities used and work
done be returned dally to the main
office.

KINGSLEY GIVES 'PARSIFAL'
Lecture-Recital Will Be at Lincoln
High School Monday Night.
"Parsifal" will be presented in a lecture-recital
by Bruce Gordon Kingsley
at the Lincoln High School Monday
evening. Three things make the en
tertainment valuable the descriptive
talk or lecture which brings home to
the people the exquisitely beautiful
legend of Parsifal with its intensely
stimulating uplift and inspiration; the
music, arranged specially from the or
chestral score so as not to lose the full
ness of Instrumental tone coloring;
and the colored pictures, 16 to 20 feet
square, and painted by a celebrated
artist.
ELDER TO SAIL NEXT WEEK
Roanoke Will Be in Service Again
Early in May.
Eliminating her customary trip to
San Diego, the steamer Geo. W. Elder
has been ordered turned back at Los
Angeles so as to reach San Francisco
tn time to load there for Portland and
sail tomorrow. She is due here Tues
day and will leave Wednesday. The
change was made because the steamer
Roanoke could not have her broken
shaft repaired in time to regain her
schedule. The company' had no steam
er for California this week.
Information was received yesterday
that the Roanoke would leave San
Francisco on time May S and sail from
Portland May 7. It is supposed that
soon after the Roanoke is ready the
Elder will be ordered out of commis
sion here to have new boilers Installed
and the steamer Yucatan will take her
place temporarily.

she took considerable water. She is
for Puget Sound grain loading at 40
shillings, which is Is 3d below the rate

gaged Tuesday to load here In Decem
ber. VALUE OF CANNON STUDIED
French Army Men to Investigate Ef
fect of Guns on Adrianople.
PARIS, April 19. (Special.) Two
members of the Parliamentary Army
Council, M. Messimy, ex-Minlster for
War, and M. Benazet, have left pans
for Adrianople to study on the spot
the Important question of the value of
the French war material employed Dy
the Balkan allies, and the extent to
which the Turkish fortifications, con
structed after German plans and fur
nished with German war material, re
sisted their fire. Before leaving M.
Benazet made the following statement
as to the object of the journey:
"Parliament will shortly be asked
to deliberate on the advisability of
raising enormous credits in order to
complete our armament, and our oo
Ject is to furnish the most comprehen
sive information both to the Parlia
mentary Army Council and the coun
try. Adrianople was admirably de
fended by well-trained Turkish troops,
who were sheltered behind the en
trenchments and in steel vaults iden
tical with those that at the present
moment' furnish the fortifications of
Metz and Strasburg, and we propose
asking the Bulgarian generals exactly
of what value the French cannon made
in our own arsenals were to them in
the attack on Adrianople."
