BTXSCTESS TRANSACTED AT YES
TERDAY'S MEETING OF
SCHOOL BOABD.
Appropriation of 1 23.000 tor phys
ical and medical Inspection restored
to budget over protest of Chairman
Satin.
Provision made for Instruction of
blind people adults and minors In
practical ways to make a living;.
Superintendent Alderman In
structed to make complete investi
gation of reports that students from
outside school districts attend hlsh
schools without paying' tuition for
purpose of "playing; In games."
Miss Lillian Tingle placed In com
plete charge of new department of
'domestlo economy" with jurisdiction
over sewing, cooking and housekeep
ing Instructions.
Appropriation of 2500 made for
school garden work.
Preliminary steps takes for har
monizing cooking department, sohool
lunch system and garden work with
Idea of furnishing meals to pupils at
lowest cost and providing practical
and useful instruction as well. .
In sptte of the protest of B. L. Sabln,
the chairman: M. G. Munly. Dr. E. A.
fcommer and O. M. Hummer, a ma
jority of the members of the School
Board voted yesterday to restore an
Item of $25,000 providing for a dental
clinic, physical training and medical
Inspection of pupils to the school
budget for next ear.
The action of the majority members
was taken following1 a report from Attorney-General
Crawford that such an
appropriation would be legal.
Mr. Sabin based his objection on an
alleged provision In the school law
prohibiting an appropriation for phy
sical education.
Dr. Sommer insisted, however, that
the appropriation should be made and
his two colleagues supported him.
Dr. Sommer had Just returned from
a visit to the East. When he left Port
land a few weeks ago the $25,000 Item
was Included in the budget. It was
understood, he said, that it was to re
main. But in his absence it was elim
inated pending a report from the Attorney-General.
A committee from the Portland Press
club made the appeal for a provision
to instruct the blind. J. F. Myers, a
blind piano tuner, spoke eloquently in
support of the movement.
Vote la Unanimous.
Dr. Sommer made the motion to pro
Vide such instruction in connectiou with
the existing schools of trade. All the
members voted for it. Superintendent
Alderman was instructed to make pre
liminary arrangements, consult with
the blind people and learn what trades
they want to learn. A competent In
structor then will be employed. Broom
making, basket-weaving, piano tuning
and other occupations probably will
be taught.
An Incident of the routine proceed
ings that may develop into a sensation
was the informal instructions given to
Superintendent Alderman to make a
thorough investigation of the registra
tion lists in all the high schools of the
city for the purpose of learning
whether any students living outside the
school district attended those schools,
without paying tuition.
"Supplementary instructions also were
handed the superintendent to make a
similar investigation of the grade
school a
"Such an investigation already Is In
progress," reported Mr. Alderman.
"I heard that there are about 60 pu
pils in the schools who don't belong
there," suggested Mr. Sabin.
Football Standing; Threatened
It has been reported that bora from
outside the city have been "imported"
by one or both or all three of the city
high schools to play in the football
teams this year. It is probable that
this is what Mr. Munly had in mind.
It is said, also, that if the superin
tendent's investigation reveals that
any of the players on this year's teams
ere not properly students at the re
spective schools In which they play,
the results of all games played this
year will be nullified.
A new department of "domestlo
economy" was created and Miss Lilian
Tingle, who has had charge of the do
mestic science work, was placed in
control at a salary of $2000 a year. Her
jurisdiction was extended over the
cooking, sewing and housekeeping de
partments. The heads of those re
spective departments will serve under
her.
Upon recommendation of Superin
tendent Alderman an appropriation of
$2500 was made for school garden
.work.
In compliance with various requests,
steps were taken to have the lunches.
which now are being served in some of
the schools, prepared by the domestic
science classes In those schools. This
was urged for the sake both of econ
my and of giving the domestlo science
classes practical work to do-. The
school gardens also are to be worked
Into this scheme.
Night schools have been promised

BROKER'S CASE REOPENED
C. E. Mitchell, Convicted In Spokane
Granted Xfw Trial.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
claL) C. E. Mitchell, former Spokane
mining broker, convicted In Federal
Court of use of malls to defraud In
the promotion of mining enterprises,
today was awarded a new trial by the
Circuit Court of Appeals at San Fran
cisco, which denied the petition of
United States Attorney Cain for a writ
of mandamus compelling Federal Judge
Rudkin to resentence Mitchell.
As a result of the Circuit Court's de
cision Mitchell wins his contention for
a new trial. In asking the new trial
Mr. Mitchell cited a confession of per
jury made by one of the Government
witnesses after the first trlaL
Mitchell was convicted May 10, 1911,
on a Federal Indictment returned April
9, 1910, charging him with fraudulent
use of the mails. On June 20. 1911, he
was sentenced to a year in the Federal
penitentiary by Judge Rudkin and
costs amounting to $3819.83 were as
sessed against him.
TOLSTOI'S LIFE IS SUBJECT
Professor II. C. Howe Discusses Life
and Writings of Philosopher.
The life, writings and philosophy of
Tolstoi were discussed from many an
gles in lecture room B of the Publlo
Library last night before an' audience
that filled the room and overflowed
into the corridor.
"Tolstoi opposed the will of the few
as against the will of the many," said
Professor H. C. Howe, of the University
of Oregon.
"The one stupendous Idea that he ad
vanced was the idea that the common
people, if let alone, can take care of
themselves."
Professor Howe declared that -Tolstoi's
social philosophy amounts to "a
frank negation of Plato, Malthus, Car
lylo and other preachers of an aristo
cratic philosophy."
Other speakers were Professor Ewer,
of Reed College, and Dr. C. H. Chap
man, of Portland. Professor George
Rebeo, of the University of Oregon,
presided.
DOME FLAGS AEROGRAMS
Messages From Ships Lodge in Top
of California Capitol.
SACRAMENTO. Nov. 20. Picking
wlreles messages exchanged between
ships in midocean off the copper-ribbed
dome of the State Capitol building is
the feat that has been accomplished
by W. H. Sutton, Capitol electrician.
While the dome- was being painted it
was necessary to remove the 2500 elec
tric globes from their sockets in the
copper ribs.
Sutton conceived the idea of using
the dome as a wireless aerial and by
stretching a telephone wire to his
bench in the basement of the building
found that he could catch ships' mes
sages from the sea, each socket mak
ing an.ear for the air waves.
The messages were recorded clearly
and distinctly, due to the height of
the dome, which is 217 feet above
ground. -

Saving His Life,
Jesus Rommlez, a laborer, told the
police last night that he had been at
tacked, robbed and thrown into the
river late yesterday by four men. The
assault took place while he was walk
ing along the Couch-street dock, he
said.
Rommlez says that to save his life he
had to divest himself of most of his
clothing, and, although numbed by the
cold, succeeded in swimming to a pil
ing. C. Peterson, a fisherman, pass
ing in his launch, picked Rommlez up
and rushed him to the patrol boat sta

drowned off the head of Ross Island
shortly after 6 o'clock last night, when
he fell from a dredge anchored in the
stream. 1
Carlson had been employed only a
short time as nlghtwatchman on the
dredge and it is thought that he trinoed
over a cable and fell into the river.
Attracted by the man's cries for help,
the tug Charles M. Greiner went to his
assistance, but was unable to reach
him before he sank out of sight.

NEW STEAMER IS
FLOATED ON RIVER
McCormick Sea Vessel, Celilo.
Launched Successfully
at St. Helens.
SHIP'S MACHINERY READY
Hull Will Be Towed to San Francisco
in Two Weeks and Made Ready
for Service In Fleet Sow
In Coast Trade.
Devoid of all formality but none the
less Important was the occasion of the
launching at St. Helens yesterday - of
the hull of the new McCormick steam
er, Celllo, which took the water at
3:15 o'clock. If her career is as suc
cessful as her initial dip the vessel
will in no way detract from the repu
tation of the McCprmick flag, for she
slid from the ways at the yard of the
St Helens Shipbuilding Company as
gracefully as the Multnomah, the first
carrier built there, the first dip of
which is reputed to never have been
surpassed on the Columbia.
The Celilo, like all others of the fleet,
takes her name from the falls that Na
ture built to separate the Upper and
Middle Columbia, a barrier that is' be
ing surmounted rapidly by the Govern
ment through the construction of The
Dalles-Celilo Canal. The Klamath,
Multnomah, Willamette and Celilo
carry names of Oregon and Washing
ton falls while in the fleet are the Sho
shone and Yomesite. Recently the
Merced met her doom on Point Gorda.
The McCormick Interests contend mat
the patterns made for the Multnoman
will be used for all vessels built for the
line until such time as coastwise trade
conditions compel the type of steam
schooner to be discarded, in hull con
struction, machinery, cargo arrange
ments and passenger accommodations
the vessels turned out at the St. Helens
plant have been tried and tested under
sea and harbor conditions with the re
sult that they are considered the best
adapted for the lumber trade between
Oregon and California and as desirable
for handling freight originating in the
Bear State and destined for Portland
and points along the river.
The Celilo Is to carry 1,000.000 feet
of lumber and will have berths for 60
passengers. In about two weeks she
will be towed to San Francisco, where
her machlneryis ready for installation.
It was intended to launch the vessel
tomorrow, but as all was in readiness
yesterday the word was. given.
OVERLOADING DOCKS TO HALT
Commission Will Learn Weight Each
Wharf Can Sustain.
Weight that docks in Portland can
sustain -on a square-foot basis will be
ascertained by the Commission of Pub
lic Docks and on each will b posted
a notice showing the maximum load,
while an ordinance to be passed will
provide punishment for dock owners
and lessees . guilty of overloading
structures.
Action was taken by the Commission
yesterday after hearing the report of
Henry Blood, of the department of
public works, that certain docks were
carrying loads in excess of their
strength As a few docks were said
to be under heavy strain, "if" the un
derpinning was not in the best of con
dition, the Commission asked for
specific information as to the founda
tions. Comment also was made on
the fact that some docks were not
Included In the report.
The Commission is receiving replies
from many municipalities where public
docks are maintained, bearing on
their facilities, charges for vessels and
the system of accounts. It was sug
gested that no order be given for
printing $900,000 ot bonds until they
had been sold. Bids for them are to
be opened December 1. It was deter
mined to ascertain what official action
was being taken relative to shifting
the time ball from the Custom House
roof and to ask the O.-W. R. & N. for
permission to mount it- on one of its
bridge towers.
RATES LOWER THIS SEASON
Panama. Canal Will Have Influence
on Chartering Next Year,
How freights have declined on wheat
cargoes- to Europe is shown in the
charter of the German ship Terpsi
chore by M.'H. Houser to load here at
80 sh tilings, while a year ago the same
vessel was paid 42 shillings. Soon after
the opening the present cereal season.
41s. 3d-, was paid for several ships and
higher rates were asked by owners.
There probably will be little char
terlng for the remainder of the season
and shippers are wondering what rates
are to be for 1914-15 business, because
it is assumed that all vessels bound to
the United Kingdom will use the Pan
ama Canal. By the time ships are of
fered in the Spring a .schedule will be
worked out covering the Canal fea
ture. The assumption is that much of
the grain from the Northwest will be
transported in steamers. If the regu
lar lines in prospect are established
they will reap the greatest benefit
from the wheat trade.
PORTLAND HARBOR INSPECTED
Officials of Osaka Shosen Kaisha
Get Data on Harbor.
When M. Koubokawa, managing di
rector of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha
fleet, with headquarters at Osaka, Ja
pan, and Edwin Orrett, manager for
the line at Tacoma, took in the Port
land waterfront yesterday and evinced
an interest In dock facilities, channel
depths and the class of steamers in
port that had to pass the Columbia
River bar, the imaginary wall so often
made capital of in the North, they were
responsible for speculation as to what
prompted their visit. They denied that
the company planned to come here.
The representatives of the Osaka
Shosen Kaisha passed Wednesday call
ing on shippers here who frequently
route cargo via their line from Puget
Sound. M. Koubokawa informed some
that he was on his way East and In
tended returning via Portland to pass
a few days. The fleet connects at Ta
coma with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St, Paul system and handles considera
ble business. .
STRATHBEE OX WAY TO LOAD
Glbson-McXear Interests Prepare to
Handle Coal Cargoes.
Chartered to load lumber here for
Hind, Rolph & Company, who will
clear her for Australia, the' British
tramp Strathdee put to sea from San
Francisco yesterday. She Is of 2846
tons net register and belongs to the
well-known "Strath" fleet.
News also comes from San Francisco
that O. H. Gibson and Q. W. McNear,
who recently formed the Douglas Fir
Company, and decided to ship lumber
from Grays Harbor, Willapa Harbor
and the Columbia River, have organ
ized the Petroleum Products Company
to handle coal from Australia to this
Coast. Associated with them in the
coal venture is Andrew Weir, head of
the steamship firm bearing his name
of Glasgow, steamers of which will be
largely used. The steamers Rothley
and Lord Sefton, of the Weir flag, are
on the way from Australia with coal
and will load for the return with case
oil and lumber.
PURSER IS HAILED AS COOK
Prank on Camino Officer Gives Him
Standing as Culinary Artist.
A series of public lectures will ba glvon
by Chief Steward Jorgensen. of the steam
ship camino, at Albers dock, commencing
Thursday, 3 P. M. and 8 P. M.. on the
cooking and serving of wild game, the
dressing and serving of Spring chicken and
the edibility of crawfish. Everybody wel
come. A light luncheon will be served free.
In response to the above advertise
ment printed in The Oregonlan yester
day, Victor Jorgenson, who fills the
dual berth of purser and steward aboard
the Camino, was the recipient of many
inquiries as to his ability as a chef and
skipper of a chafing dish party. As at
other times when he has been the vic
tim, he is passing some time in the
role of sleuth in an effort to locate the
person responsible. .The ship sails to
day for San Francisco-and he has taken
consolation from the fact there are no
newspapers published by Neptune.
ROSE CITY GETS GOOD MARK
Annual Inspection Closed With
Credit to Officers.
- Complimented by Federal officials on
the appearance of his ship and condi
tion of equipment, even though she
arrived in port Tuesday night and her
annual inspection began Wednesday
morning, there was no prouder mariner
on the waterfront yesterday than Cap
tain Rankin, of the steamer Rose City.
G. L. Blair, general manager of the
fleet, who leaves tomorrow night for
San Francisco, said it was decidedly
flattering to have all inspection details
ended with praise.
In turn Captain Rankin remarked
that the inspectors had gone into nooks
below deck that had not always been
investigated during his connection with
the vessel, and her trucks probably
were the only parts not subjected to
close scrutiny. The Rose City is the
first of the fleet to be inspected here.
Billings Breaks Rudder.
While en route down the river from
Prescott in tow of the Ocklahama the
schooner George E. Billings, which had,
loaded a cargo of lumber at Prescott,
struck an obstruction and broke her
rudder. Her captain returned, last
night to Portland to get a diver to ex
amine the damage.
Marine Xotes.
To take on more lumber for Cali
fornia, the steamer Shasta moved into
the harbor from Kalama last night.
The steamer E. H. Vance went from
Kalama to Rainier.
Wheat-laden for the usual- United
Kingdom ports for orders, the Frnch
bark Ernest Legouve leaves down to-day.
Advices from Seattle yesterday were
that the steamer Hornelen would leave
there at midnight, on her way to
Tongue Point, to load lumber for Aus
tralia.
Having worked barley ready for her
at Albers dock, the British- steamer
Harpalion shifts today to Montgomery
dock No. 2 and will later berth at
Oceanic.
It was reported that the schooner
Geo. E. Billings had met with a minor
accident on the lower river, as a dlvar
was sought here yesterday to make
an examination at Astoria. .
In the gale that blew Itself out along
the Coast Wednesday the highest ve
locity reached at North Head that night
was 60 miles. District Forecaster Beals
said last night that there had been
no disturbance at sea during the day
and he did not expect a resumption of
the stormy conditions immediately.
It was reported yesterday that W. R.
Grace & Co. had fixed the British
steamer Harlesden to load lumber here
for the West Coast. She is to arrive
here next month.

ELEVATOR TO RE BUILT
OREGON CITY COUNCIL DECIDES ON
CONSTRUCTION DESPITE SUITS.
Device Will Be . Installed to Permit
Traffic Over Bluff Review of
Water Board Rullug Asked.
OREGON CITY, Or.. Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) The City Council this afternoon
decided to go ahead with the construc
tion of a 12,000 elevator to permit
traffic over the bluff. The action was
taken despite two suits pending in Cir
cuit Court.
Mrs. Sarah A, Chase has asked for
an injunction to restrain the city from
installing the elevator, while other
property owners have asked for an or
der restraining the collection of the
assessment to cover the damages.
At the same time .the Council will
ask the Circuit Court for a review of
its decision in the Water Board case.
The court at that time declared that
the City Council could not remove the
board for a mere disobedience of or
ders. The city will now contend that
the board is, under the charter, re
quired to furnish the city with water in
the same way that it furnishes the
citizens and that failure to do so Is a
failure to perform the duties of a board
of water commissioners and is "cause"
for the removal of the members.
The assertion is made that the
definition of the word "cause" in the
state constitution refers to state of
ficers and has nothing to do with
municipal affairs.
