JAPANESE GOODS BROUGHT Sailing- Time Set for May SO but Sbe T Expected to Get .Away With Approximately 6000 Tons of Cargo by Stay 14. Montgomery dock No. 1 to Irving, to finish loading grain for Europe. The British steamer Harpagus, of the Royal Mall fleet, left down In the afternoon, bound for Kobo and other Oriental porta by way of Comox. UXCT.E SAM IS NOT PASSED l npee months ino two i&ys were required for the Oerman steamer Sithonia to make her wav from Ham burg to Portland and in calling at IS porta she passed through 11 large bodies of water. She berthed at the orth Bank dork at :J0 o'clock yes terday roorntng. The vessel comes as the pathfinder of the H&mburg-Amerikanlache Packet fahrt Actien-Gesellschaft known In this country as the Hamburg-American line and having a standing In maritime archives as having the greatest ton nage under one flag. In opening the nw service with Portland as the Pa cific Coast terminus, the company has not dispatched its biggest or fastest vessel, yet the Sithonia steams along at 1114 knots in favorable weather and carries 7S00 tons deadweight on a draft of 25 M feet. Captain Bernhard Kotzte is her master and Otto Von Maltizt Is first officer. The latter is not on his initial visit here as he was second officer on the German steamer Aragonia, also of the Hamburg-American fleet, when sh plied between Portland and Oriental ports as a member of the Portland Asiatic line. August Grethe Is secon officer. Otto Werfel third officer and Fred Kahlbetzer holds the berth of fourth officer. Johannes Steffen 1 chief engineer with P. Bornstedt first assistant. William Setdler second as slstant and William Zleler third as istant. The crew numbers S3 all told, of which 36 are Chinese In the deck and enrineroom force. Wlreleaa Device NoveL The ship Is equipped with the Tele funken wireless system, a German patent, and unlike plants on other ves sels calling here that have sevura strands of wire In the antennae o aerials, she has but two wires. While the extent of the sending range is 400 miles, under favorable conditions mes ssges can be received 2000 miles. Six hatches, evenly divided In having three forward and as many aft. facilitate the handling of cargo. She brough about 600 tons here that was mostly made up of Japanese hardwood, rice, Chinese provisions, barrels of bean oil and kindred freight. The Sithonia headed away from Ham burg February 7. and called at Bremer haven. Rotterdam, Algler, Port Said, Suez. Sabang, Peneng. Singapore, Hong kong, Shanghai, Moji, Kobe, Yokoha ma. Vancouver, Seattle and then en tered the Columbia. Her course took her through the North Sea, English Channel, Atlantic Ocean. Mediterranean Sea, Suez Canal, Indian Ocean, China - Sea, Japanese Sea and the Pacific Ocean. She left Yokohama April 19, one day behind schedule, and In 164 days was at Vancouver, being three . days ahead of time. About 1500 miles off Yokohama strong southeasterly winds were encountered and at times during four days sbe reeled off but ten knots, but before and after that in terruption she was speeded and by losing no time handling cargo at north ; ern ports she reported here four days ahead of schedule Her sailing time is set for May 20 on the card, but In stead sbe Is expected to be on her way north with approximately 6000 tons of cargo May 14. Jilimr Attitude Seea. Officers of the asteamer report that at Japanese ports they heard talk con cerning the attitude of the California Legislature toward Japanese and specu lation was rife as to the outcome of the anti-alien measure. Some of the Japa nesc declared it would be easy to take I California away from the United States. I The Sithonia was built In 1900 and is equipped for burning liquid fuel though at present she uses coal. She Is 421.4 feet long, with a beam of 66.2 feet and depth of hold of 27.8 feet. Her net registered tonnage is S544. The Saxonla, which follows her and Is due here June 29, is of 2782 tons net register and was built In 1899, having a length of 400.2 feet, beam of 46.1 fet and depth of hold of 27.3 feet.

Under orders to load grain here for Europe the British steamer Historian, of the Harrison Line, which plies be tween ports across the Atlantic and the Pacific Coast. Is to put out from Vancouver, B. C, today and will be given cargo by Balfour. Qutbrle & Company. The vessel may also load consignments of other freight. The Norwegian steamer Thor. which Balfour. Guthrie Sc Company fixed to take on a cargo of lumber .here for Shanghai. Is looked for In port today, coming from San Francisco. The Nor wegian steamer Thode Fagelund did hot not proceed direct from Seattle to the Columbia River, as reported Thurs day, but lnsiaad went to British Co lumbia to fill her bunkers. She Is to load for China tinder engagement to the China Import Export Lumber Company. The Japanese steamer Man fhu Maru. which left the harbor with a lumber cargo Thursday night, bound tor Hankow, arrived down yesterday and was reported going to sea. but a later message was that she had not crossed out. The British steamer krntra. of the Maple Lear Line, hauled Upstream yesterday afternoon from fpper River Steamer. Mnt Be Changed Defore A"eeptanec. There will be no documents Issued the steamer Uncle Sam. the home port of which Is Corvallis. for after a vlsi yesterday by United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller it was officially decreed that she could not be ''passed" as representing requirements for the passenger and freight trade. In fact she cannot ply in either and not even tow logs. The Uncle Sam was begun over two years ago and she should be as com plete as the Lusltania. but the reverse is said to be her condition. One marine authority ventured the assertion that from a technical standpoint she could be made to pass Federal inspection by Jacking up the whistle and rebuilding everything below. Her hull is said to be "hogged" anil would have to be rechained. and though equipped with three rudders It is said two of them would prove as efficient If made fast to the hurricane deck, as in their pres ent position. She was allowed to come to Portland on a trial trip and her cost is reported to have been 112,000, but there must be radical changes be fore she can navigate marine highways under Federal Jurisdiction. Schooner on Clover dale Run. CLOVERDALE. Or.. May 9. (Spe cial.) The gasoline schooner Gerald C. left here yesterday loaded with canned salmon for Astoria. She brought In full cargo of empty tierces to be used for this Summer's pack. The cannery here had 10,000 cases of packed salmon on hand since last Fall, which will be taken out as fast as this schooner can make trips. Marine Xotes. Coming from San Diego the schooner King Cyrus entered the river yesterday and left up last night in tow of the steamer Ocklahama for St. Helens to load lumber. W. R. Grace Co. have chartered the schooner Kona to. load lumber here or on Grays Harbor for Callao at 61a 3d. She Is on the way from Auckland to the Columbia. Hereafter the barge Diamond Head will be towed along- the Coast in the service of the Union Oil Company, which has purchased the vessel and will convert her into a tanker. Until the first part of the coming week the Willamette is to rise here, according to District Forecaster Beals. and reports to him show the stream rose at all stations south of Eugene, and the Columbia nine-tenths of a foot at Umatilla and the Snake River 1.9 feet at Lewiston. Bids are to be opened May 26 at the office of Major Mclndoe, CorpB of En gineers, U. S. A., for furnishing 40,000 barrels of fuel oil, delivery to be at Three Tree Point, for the use of dredges on the river. Tenders are also to be opened June 5 for a sufficient quantity of coal to steam locomotives and. hoist ing plants at Fort Stevens and Fort Canby during the coming year. Carrying 400 tons of grain in addi tion to general cargo the steamer Rochelle was cleared at the Custom- House yesterday for San Francisco, and finished her load at Rainier with 265,000 feet of lumber. The steamer Shasta also went to Rainier to load lumber for San Francisco. Further evidence of the value to human life of having nets stretched geneath gangways of steamers in berth here was offered yesterday at the North Bank dock, when a temporary station on a gangplank leading from the Ger man steamer Sithonia, broke and pre cipitated a sightseer into the net below. Had the net not been In place he would have fallen at least to the lower dock. CONFERENCE ON CONSERVATION OF HUMAN LIFE OPENS AT REED COLLEGE WITH MANY ATTENDING. . - . ..?.

Another bill which he referred to as of prime Importance Is the law against the carrying- of revolvers. Jn this con nection he said that since the legisla tion against murderous violence baa been enforced, as In the hanging of the two Humphrys. there has thus far been no more murder In Oregon. The legislation requiring examina tion before marriage he said he did not believe would do a great deal of good beyond causing men to stop and consider carefully before entering Into marriage. "Past Operation Murderous. Among other bills which he declared were of great Importance are the bill concerning administering of anesthet ics, which makes It imperative that this shall be done only by graduate physicians or nurses, and which he said would "do away with many of the murderous operations that have been performed In the past." Other speakers In this section were Dr. Eugene Kelley, commissioner for the Washington State Board of Health; Dr. E. L. Frsk, of New Tork, and Mae H. Cardwell. state chairman of the American Medical Association. Parks and playgrounds and their beneficial effect upon health and mor als of a community were under consid eration in the chapel lecture room, this section being presided over by V. R. Manning, of the Associated Charities. L. H. Weir, field - secretary of the American Playgrounds and Recreation wealthy,-but with those whom, we term the average citizen. Cloaed Grounds Not Favored. "One unhappy feature of our present playground system. If such it may be called. Is thst misdirected economy. which directs their closure coincident with the opening of the public schools In the Fall with the result that through the long Winter months when children need more than at any other time the wise direction of activities during the short period which they have at their disposal, the one healthy outlet above all others is denied them. Our play grounds should be open every day in the year and under wise supervision. This Is a right which belongs to our children. "The privately-owned playground of the Irvlngton Club open to all chil dren without charge and under super vision has followed this course since its inception and with entire success. It is astonishing how many days throughout our rainy months there are which admit of practical and satisfac tory use of the apparatus." Mr. Woodward closed his remarks by appealing to bis auditors to lend every assistance In the coming election to enable the carrying out of present play ground plans. Labor Questions were discussed in a section presided over by Mrs. Josephine Preston, Washington State Superin tendent of Schools, the speakers being Professor XV. F. Ogburni Millie It. Trumbull. A. XV. Taylor, of Washing ton State College, and A. A. Flynn, of the United States Bureau of Mines. Professor Flynn offered an exhibit of the mine rescue work, which was In tensely interesting and which will be repeated at the session today. William M. Ladd presided over the rural life section. Samuel Hill gave an illustrated lecture on good roads and R. D. Hetzel, of Oregon Agricul tural College, spoke on methods of im proving conditions of rural life. Hen rietta W. Calvin and Rhoda M. White, dean of. women of Washington State College, also spoke on rural life ques tions. Three illustrated lectures, ar ranged by the American Institute of Social Service, were given during the day and problems of city life were dis cussed in a section presided over by XV. P. Olds. Among the lectures in the city life section was a talk by V. R. Manning, of the Associated Charities, and an illustrated lecture on the work of. the People's Institute, by Valentine Pritchard. Academy of Sciences Sleets. The Oregon Academy of Sciences opened its annual meeting In conjunc tion with the Conservation of Human Life conference and was in session all afternoon, papers being offered by T. D.

At the close of the session yesterday afternoon the delegates went In a body to the tennis courts, where a Maypole dance was given by the young women of Reed College. The dancers were beautifully costumed and their part of the programme caused much admiring comment from the delegates. The Maypole dances will be repeated to day. Before the dance by the young women of the college, a kindergarten dance by the children of the faculty members was given. Last night delegates to the confer ence were entertained at a reception in one of the assembly halls of th3 Administration building of Reed' Col lege.

Teal Is That Efficiency In Transportation Is Entirely Dependent on Com petition in Service. - Under the present system of rate making the shipping public does not have the advantage of competition in rates and depends for efficiency in transportation entirely upon compe tition In service. If any railroad or system of railroads establishes rates that will create a monopoly In traffic through its terri tory the shippers are deprived of this competition in service -and ill effects are likely to result. These were the theories that Joseph N. Teal, attorney for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers sought to establish in the hearing conducted in the auditorium of the Journal building j-esterday before James W. Carmalt, examiner for the Interstate Commerce Commission. The proceedings were the outgrowth of the recent efforts of the so-called Harriman system to place in effect a series of rates that would deprive ship pers of the option of using either of two or more routes through Wallula, Silver Bow, Spokane and Denver. Yesterday's testimony did not touch directly upon the Denver gateway, al though it was alluded to emphatically during the cross-examination of Frank W. Robinson, assistant traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company. Independent Action Asserted. Mr. Robinson, in explaining the order that denied wool shippers the privilege of shipping over either the Northern Pacific or the O.-W. - R. & N. line through Wallula, told the examiner that the O.-W. R. & N. traffic officials acted independently of the Union Pa cific and the Oregon Short Line in mak ing their rates, but that the latter roads, because of common control of stock, are the invariably preferred routes east of Huntington, which is the O.-W. R. & N. Company's terminus. Mr. Robinson said that the Illinois Central never has bn considered a preferred route of the. Harriman lines, although the annual reports of the Union Pacific show that the Union Pa cific owns considerable Illinois Central stock. Here the questioning was Interrupt ed by H. A. Scandrett, of Omaha, inter state commerce attorney for the Union Pacific who declared that the stock ownership. question was one of law and one which Mr. Robinson was not ex pected to answer. The examination then was directed to the Wallula gateway, and several wool shippers, were Introduced to testify that they considered a choice of routes an advantage. A. W. Wheelhouse, of Arlington, and Bert Moran, of Boston, Mass., declared that the elimination of competition inToutes would affect the service adversely. GraxtnaT Leaser Heard. R' N. Stanfield, of Stanfield, said he had been using the Northern Pacific through Wallula until the recent clos ing order deprived him of the option of shipping that way. He said that he had procured grazing privileges from tne Northern Pacific and that a clause in his lease required him to use that road other things being equal. Mr. Robinson took the stand again after luncheon to testify relative to the Spokane and Silver Bow gateways He endeavored to justify the rates by reason of the fact that the Harriman lines either originate the business or furnish the market for it. He pointed out that their service Is and has been satisfactory to the shippers. Mr. Teal, however, tried to make the point that competition is what makes this service so satisfactory. "Remove the competition and your service will depreciate, he tald in et feet. Isaac Wilson, traffic manager for the Potlatch Lumber Company, of Potlatch Idaho, said that the closing of the Silver Bow gateway not only resulted In frequent shortages of cars, but that It also deprived them of the territory between Butte and Pocatello, in which territory they had done considerable business. The examiner also heard the com plaints against the cancellation of the water and rail rates from Water-locked points on Puget Sound. through Seattle and Tacoma to tne i.ast. The hearing will be continued in the County Courthouse this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Rheumatic Blood is Whole Stcry) Sciatica, Lombaso and Dreaded Articular Rheumatism Cored. x yjhf?'. J. Ton Will Feel Like an Acrobat After I sing S. S. S. There is a host of pills, powders, tablets and what-not for rheumatism, but they all lack the first essential to being a natural medicine. To begin with, rheumatism is simply a name given to designate a variety of pains, and can' only be reached by irri gating the entire blood supply with a naturally assimilative antidote. True, the pains may be eased with nar cotics or the acids may be neutralized for the time being. But such methods merely temporize and do not even lead to a cure. There is but one standard rheumatism remedy, and Is sold In all drug stores under the name of S. S. S. It contains only pure vegetable elements and is absolutely free of mer cury, iodide of potash or arsenic, and has proved a wonder for every form of rheumatism. The recoveries of all types of rheu matism by the use of S. S.

The form of the remittance, however, gave rise to the fear that his mind was unbalanced, hence friends are looking for him. He had been accustomed to work in hop fields, so particular atten tion is being given to the making of a search in the fields where the vines are being trained up for the growing season. ALBANY MILL HAS FIRE Blaze Confined to Dry Klin and Dairiag Is estimated at $800. ALBANY, Or.,' May 9. (Special.) The dry kiln of the planing mill of M. J. Cameron & Son in this city was gutted by Are tonight, entailing a loss of about $800, covered by insurance. The flames were confined to this por tion of the plant. The fire apparently started from a spark which blew into the rear of tho kiln and was discovered at 6:30 o'clock. At one time the flames blew across the areaway separating the kiln from the mill, and for a time the entire plant was seriously endangered, but the ar rival of another line of hose enabled the firefighters to gain control speedily. The dry kiln was full of lumber, which made the fire more stubborn.
