When Panama "Waterway Opens for

ple Facilities Here.
Recent acquisition by the Hill rail
Toad Interests of terminal facilities In
Ean Francisco Bay was for the ac
commodation, not of a new transcon
tinental rail service, but of a steam
ship line between San Francisco and
Portland.
Plans for this steamship line have
been eomDieted and fixing the date
of Inaugurating service now Is a mere
detail that depends upon the time re
quired to Improve the terminals and
to complete the construction of three
steamships now building In Eastern
shipyards.
The line will operate in competition
to the Portland & San Francisco
Company, an O.-W. R. & N. subsidiary,
and may connect at San Francisco with
a line to Australia. It Is aimed to
have the line In operation before the
Panama Canal opens. It is probable,
too, that early service will be estab
lished from Portland, and. San Fran
cisco, through the canal to Atlantic
Beaboard points.
Facilities Here Ample.
So far as Portland Is concerned the
Hill Interests are ready to begin thtlr
service at once. In the North Bank
docks they have ample faclltles for the
accommodation of their steamers.
There they can connect with the rail
roads handling California traffic to and
from the Fast. These railroads will
caTe for the freight business at this
ond and. will act as feeders for the
steamship line. The North Bank, the
Qreat' Northern and. the Northern Pa
elflo operate past the North Bank ioclc.
While freight will be the principal
revenue producer in this steamship
service the Hill people will hold out
attractive offers for passenger pat
ronage. Their new boats will have a
capacity of 1000 passengers each. They
aim to handle the passengers between
Ban Francisco and Astoria by boat and
between Portland and Astoria by train.
Fast trains will be operated between
Portland and Astoria, making the run
In two and a half hours, so that trav
elers may gain more than three hours
over the present steamer schedule.
This service will be In effect before
the world's fair at San Francisco
opens, as a heavy traf flo between
Portland and California Is expected
during the period that exhibition Is In
progress.
In this way the Hill Interests will
gain an effective entrance Into Cali
fornia, but Invasion by means of a
steamship line Is considered but a
temporary expedient.
Terminals In Tjmg Soon.
Tt Is probable that ultimately, and
no doubt very soon, the Bay Farm Is
land In San Francisco Bay. which tt
is reported has been sold to a syndi
cate representing the Hill Interests,
will be used as both a railroad, and a
steamship terminal.
That the Hill lines Intend to ex
tend their network of railroads Into
California no longer Is a secret. But
the suggested plan of building into
San Francisco from a connection with
the Burlington In Wyoming Is not ac
cepted by railroad men acquainted
with the situation as one likely to be
adopted by the Hill officials, as It Is
not consistent with their conventional
style of railroad work.
It Is certain that the Oregon Trunk
was built with the view of extending It
to California, whenever occasion de
mands. It is constructed on main-line
standards and will accommodate main
line traffic Indefinitely, it never was
Intended that the Oregon Trunk should
stop at iiena. in iact. surveys were
made from Bend south into the Sacra
mento Valley, even before the Oregon
Trunk was completed.
Grade Important Feature.
Ralph Budd, now chief engineer of
the U-reat Northern and ex-chief en
gineer of the Oregon Trunk, conducted
these surveys at the time John F.
Stevens was head of the Hill system in'
Oregon. The maximum grade between,
the Columbia River and Bend, the pres
ent Oregon Trunk terminus, is l.C per
rent. At no place south of Bend does
U reach that extreme. At a point about
BO miles south of Bend the grade
reaches Its maximum elevation. From
that point it would be possible,
theoretically, to start a. boxcar toward
the north, and it would roll, by grav
ity, all the way Into Portland; started
outh. it would roll all the way into
fan Francisco.
So when -the Hill Interests decide to
txtend their rails into San Francisco
It Is reasonable to expect that the Ore
on Trunk and North Bank will be
come Important links In the chain of
vteel highways.

"I am taking with me a biplane, a

DETECTIVES ARE BAFFLED
Prisoner Declared Recognized In
Eastern Court as Young Woman's
Betrayer Mask to Fall Only
When Conviction Fails.
"Mrs. C. Weber," of Kansas City, the

who has concealed her Identity behind
face covering and absolute secrecy.
appeared In Portland yesterday as a
new nemesis of E. C C. von Klein,
the alleged marrying swindler whose
victims are alleged to have totaled a
half dozen women in the past two
years, and who is now in the County
Jail, charged with the theft of $3500
worth of Jowelry belonging to Ethel
Newcomb. whom he is alleged to have
married in San Francisco and deserted
in the Portland Hotel over a year ago.
Giving a name which she- acknowl
edged Is not her own, Mrs. "Weber,
following the prisoner West when he
came the other day in custody of De
tective Joe Day, says that she will fol
low Von Klein wherever the paths of
the law lead him, and that if all the
charges now against him fall she will
reveal her Identity and that of her
daughter, whom he is alleged to have
defrauded of $12,000 in money and jew
elry, and will start a new prosecution.
Woman Keeps In Hiding?.
Mrs. "Weber" is staying In a hotel In
Portland now, ibut her whereabouts are
not Known even to tnose memDers oi
the detective force and District Attor
ney's deputies who have talked with
her She wears always an impenetrable
white veil, which even in private con
versation she refuses to discard, and be.
yond the fact that .she is middle-aged
and well dressed no one has so far pen
etrated her makeup.
Yesterday, speaking of her case, she
said that she followed Von Klein to
Portland, traveling a day behind Joe
Day and his prisoner, whom she recog
nized in the Harrison-street station
court In Chicago a month ago. She said
that it the prosecution fell through in
Portland she would follow him to Mil
waukee, where a warrant is out against
the smiling alleged swindler, and if
the Milwaukee case also fell through
she will reveal herself and take up the
prosecution.

Woman learning $40 a Month and
Three With More Than $1000
Are Among Applicants.
A prety Japanese woman with a
baby in hor arms was one of nearly 20
women who made applications to the
Juvenile Court yesterday for relief un
der the widows' pension law. The law
went into effect Tuesday and the total
number cf applications for the two
days since is 33. So far Dr. Mary
Evans and Mrs. Llda Hobson, who are
in charge of this work, have been
busy filling in history sheets relative
to the applicants and have not started
investigation.
Four applicants have already come
forward whose cases have been re
ferred by Probation Officer Mcintosh
to the District Attorney for informa
tion as to whether the law is such
that relief can legally be given them.
1 nree are women who have two or
three minor children each, but who
have over S1000 each in the bank, pro
ceeds of life Insurance policies carried
by their husbands. A question has
been raised as to whether this money
must be gone before they are in line
for tensions.
A telephone exchange operator, earn
Ing $40 a month, is an applicant. She
has two children, which would entitle
her to a pension of $25 a month were
she not earning money. It must be
determined If the law will permit her
to draw the money by leaving the chil
dren at home with her mother during
the day.
"We are taking Information relative
to all who apply and later, when the
rush has . subsided, will investigate
their stories." said Probation Officer
Mcintosh. "I anticipate that many
will be refused pensions because of
failure of the law to specifically apply
to the cases of some women because
of their unwillingness to cease their
employments and take less in pensions
than they are earning now."

WASHINGTON. June 4. Ramifica

conducted outside the halls of Congress
gave the Senate lobby Investigating
committee a busy two hours late this
afternoon. With Senator Ransdell. of
Louisiana, as the chief witness, mem
bers of the investisratlnar committee
pried into every phase of the fight be
tween the free trade and the anti-free
sugar forces and established the fact
that general offices are maintained by
both factions and that a systematic and
organized fight has been carried on for
and against the free sugar provision
indorsed by President Wilson.
New Names Added to List.
The activity of the sugar tariff forces
was partially responsible for President
Wilson's statement that powerful lobby
ing Influences were at work in Wash
ington to efTect changes in the tariff
bill. Several names were added today
to the list of persons who will testify
later as to why they are "lobbyists."
These included employes of a bureau
maintained hero by the Louisiana sugar
growers and various persons who have
been connected with the anti-free sugar
fight.
Senator Ransdell discussed freely tile
organized activity of the Louisiana
sugar cane growers, but believed little
money had been spent as compared
with the amount spent by Claus
Spreckels, the Federal Sugar Refining
Company and Frank C. Lowry, of New
ork. said to be an employe of that
company, in an attempt to create
public sentiment in favor of free sugar.
1 urged the Louisiana people to or
ganize two years ago and combat this
false sentiment that was being created
In favor of free sugar," he said, "but
they did not act in time."
Island Sugar Men Active.
Some light was thrown on the activ
ity of the Hawaiian and Porto Rlcan.
growers by the JSenator. Ho denied
there had been any concerted action
among the three forces and said the
Louisiana growers had devoted their
efforts to distributing literature and
presenting arguments to show that free
sugar meant destruction to their busi
ness and no benefit to the consumer.
Senator Ransdel named Henry T.
Oxhard, Truman G. Palmer, Sidney M.
Ballou and A. D. Baldwin as leading
figures In the anti-free sugar fight.
and said H. N. Pharr. J. D. Hill. Jules
Burguleres, Charles Godchaux. Jules

Senator Cane on Stand.
Senator Lane, first witness today, said
he was a physician and had no interest
in anything affected by the tariff.
"That handsome man buck there by
the wall was very much worried about
wool," he said, pointing to a-listener.
The "handsome man" said he wm
S. W. McClure, secretary of the Na
tional Woolgrowers' Association. Ho
probably will take the stand when the
Senators have finished testifying.
Senator Lane said that he did not
consider those who called on him "lob
byists." He thought they were "look
ing after their own Interests." He
knew of no lobby, but said he believed
money waa being used to try to con
vince people that bad effects would fol
low the tariff bill.
Senator McCumber said he produced
wheat, - oats, rye, flax and sometimes
potatoes, all of which were "disastrous
ly affected" by the tariff. No one had
attempted to influence him, he said.
and he knew of no use of money or
the maintenance of a lobby to In
fluence any legislation.

Senator Newlar.ds had some farming
interests In California, Nevada, Mary
land and District of Columbia.
"Wheni I came here 20 years ago one
occasionally saw a man who was re

have disappeared."
A list of more than 1500 additional
names were put in today by Senator
Penrose, covering somo of the persons
who visited him while the Payne-Ald-rlch
bill was being framed, and all his
callers during the reciprocity and do
