CHICAGO, July 24. David K. S. Byrne, a Pittsburg evangelist, is in Chicago today to establish his identity under the terms of the will that will make him a rich man. The legacy is given him because his prayer, uttered on ben-led knees in the rear of a Chi cago saloon six years ago, turned back toward a Baltimore home a girl who had lost her way and restored her to her family. The girl told the evangelist her name was Lucy Byrne and that her father wps a well-to-do resident of Baltimore. The two had a long talk. At its close, the -girl assured the evangelist that she would go home. A few weeks later he received a letter from her father, telling of his gratitude. IOvangellHt Change IN'ame. "One thing I want to do in apprecia tion of your work," wrote the father. "T want to support your undertakings. Help other women as you have helped my girl. Go out among them and preach. T will stand by you, and be cause I feel to toward you I ask that you change your name to Byrne." Complying with the request the evan gelist changed his name from David K. S. Kldd to David K. S. Byrne and under that name he has worked the last few years. Lucy Byrne died a few years after her return to Baltimore but the evan gelist continued to hear from the fath er. A few weeks ago he learned that the man was dead. Large Legacy Is Reward. Then he was informed that a large legacy hadi been left for him out of the Byrne estate and that he was to be one of the executors of the will. He was asked to prove his identity at once. For the last few days the evan gelist has been taking the depositions of friends who knew him at the time he first met Lucy Byrne in Chicago. The evangelist does not know the amount of the legacy he Is to get, but has been advised that it will amount to many thousands of dollars.

RIVER STEAMERS POPULAR The reason is you don't have to wait until you arrive at the beach to enjoy tool breezes. The river trip via steam ers Hassalo and Potter is delightful. Make reservations at Ash-street dock or city ticket office, Third and Wash i at , A.A.jfj-t.'Vi rr t STKAMKU YUCATAN, OK SORTH 1"ACIKIC FIEETT. . Many changes have taken place !n the appearance of the steamer Yucatan, of the North Pacific Steam ship Company a fleet, since she took the water at Chester, Pa., in 1890 principally because a large part of her house was removed after she grot into trouble, in the North two years a go. She sailed Wednesday for .San -Diegro and way ports, replacing the steamer George W. Elder,, which is being overhauled.. The Yuca tan Is a sister ship of the "Big Three" liner Rose City, which sails Saturdav. They are 336 2 feet Ion have beams of 43.2 feet and depth of hold of 22.3 feet. The Rose City has an indicated horsepower" of 2250 and the ucatan 2600. The Rose City was known as the Yumuri when first commissioned. CROP TRAFFIC ISSUE Tacoma Said to Be After Rec ord Held by Portland. AIM IS TO DIVERT. WHEAT Washington Grain Inspector Jarboc Is Quoted as Saying- Puget Sound ; City 'Will Get 3Iuch Former ly Shipped at Portland. R. D. Jarboe, State Grain Inspector for Washington, is quoted In Tacoma as havinj? said that he has received reliable reports covering the new crop situation' and that a large share of business that moved via Portland will be diverted to the northern city, through which a lion's portion will be handled there this season. Reports received by him are said to indicate that' 20,000; cars will pass through the city, which is 4000 cars more than were received last . season. Pugret Sound cities usually plume themselves each season to get the up per hand on Portland In the wheat trade and the 1913-14 period is no ex ception, yet there is no fear, being ex pressed here that the coveted record will pass to Puget Sound, much less a single city there. For the cereal year ending last month- Portland exported and floated for domestic ports 14,752, 221 bushels, almost twice as much as was shipped by water from the entire Puget Sound domain, which totalled 7.816.792 bushels. Early estimates are being received here of the prospective- crop,- but they do not credit the Northwest with 75, 000.000 bushels, -as the-Taeoma statis ticians have calculated.- Estimates of the new crop here are from 63,000,000 to 68.000,000 bushels,' and with over 30 grain ships already under charter for the year, while less than half a dozen are credited to Puget Sound under the most liberal apportionment, it seems highly improbable that the enthusiasm being worked up - to deprive this city of her laurels as among the foremost wheat exporting ports of the United States is warranted. Portland is to day. the headquarters of about 30 grain establishments, some being full-fledged exporting houses, while others operate on a smaller scale and a few are brok ers, but this is regarded by them as the natural outlet for the bulk of the Northwest - wheat that does. .not., find its way abroad in the' shape of "flour. ' SECOND HEARING ON DOCK Commission Listens to Talks for and Against East Side. 4 One more session before the Com mission of Public Iocks to hear testi mony for and agatnst the location of' a public deck on the East Side, and particularly between East Oak and East Washington streets, was held yesterday and much the same ground was gone over. Edward Newbegin. for the East Side, said the implement business for the past year represented a greater value than the combined worth of wheat flour and barley exported from here. Daniel Kern said the bridges were not such a hindrance as had . been repre sented and cited that at the dock of the Columbia Contract "Company, at East Salmon street, over 400.000 tons of material had been . handled in a year without trouble. H.' Iz. - Sta ver, O. . E. Helntz, J. W. Lepper, H. B. Van Duzer. Oliver G.. Hughson. J. F. Booth and B. C. Lane talked for the East Side, while J. N. Teal spoke for the Chamber of Commerce and Taxpayers' . League; George Gerlinger for the lumbermen of the Willamette Valley. E. A. Schneider as a longshoreman and general water front worker, and Charles Rosenburg as a sailor, the later being in favor of docks below the bridges. ' F. C. Young contended that South Portland should be given consideration and that the bridges were not a hindrance to ves sels, saying that half of the lumber exported had been loaded above the bridges last season. MORE DOCK SITES DEVELOP Property at Ldnnton and St. Johns Is Offered Commission. Relying on a statute that vests In the municipality authority to condemn property beyond the confines of the city proper, though the charter pre vents the purchase of property out right that Is not,inside the boundaries, the Commission-of Public-Docks is ac cepting proposals from outside land owners for the purpose of considering them as future dock sites. : Two were received yesterday, one from H. E. Mooney, who offered & tract of 30 acres, having a water frontage of 1500 feet, and - an average depth toward the O.-W. R. & N. right of way of 1000 feet, the land being located be low the public drydock. The price is 1250.000. Another piece was brought to the attention of the Commission by C. F. Bunker, who says he controls a parcel near the Clark & Wilson mill at Llnnton, which he holds at $110,000, and a smaller strip adjoining can be secured for $0.000. Other sites previ ously were offered on which action has not been taken. LEASES , DELAY LOCKS SALE Paper Interests Not Satisfied With Deed as Drawn. Objections by heads of paper manu facturing plants to the construction of a deed that is to be executed to the War Department on the transfer -to it of the locks and canal at Oregon City, Is given as the reason the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has been unable to close details of the transaction so that papers may be for warded to Washington for final, ap proval and execution. The paper plants have leases covering certain privileges In the-locks, which the Government Is willing to abide by, yet a different phraseology is desired covering, the points. E. B. Thomsen, assistant engineer under Major Mclndoe, Corps of Engi neers, U. S.-.A., says the matter is being arbitrated between the paper interests and the railway-- corporation, and an adjustment is looked for that will not alter the deed as drafted. Unless the matter is disposed of soon it is feared there, will be no opportunity this sea son to complete improvements contem plated in tha locks under Government ownership. ONE GRAIN SHIP . OFFERED Market May Not Rise as Fleet of Col liers ATailable. ' Following a period of quietude in the grain irelght market a ship has been offered during the past few .days at 41s. 3d. . Exporters have bid 40 shillings ror the vessel, but as 41s 3d is looked upon as the market now, she probably will be paid that figure. Shippers do not look for added firm ness in grain freights . In view of the reports that the Government has 35 colliers - under charter to bring coal from the Atlantic side to Valparaiso for orders, and some . of them will be available for late -August and early September loading, more coming later. As -the Government has entered into a contract with Japanese interests to supply 80,000 tons of coal in the Philippines, steam tonnage coming irom tne Atlantic side will discharge on tne facinc Coast and in the Ha waiian Islands. As soon as it is ascer tained where ships are bound charter ing, promises to become brisk. HAUPALYCE OFF FOR ORIENT Hamburg-American Liner Due Here Last of Month to.
