TTTE -MQTIXTSG OREGONTAN", SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1913. ALMS IS REFUSED AND PRIEST IS SHOT Father Conway, of New Era: Wounded by Two Bullets ji. Fired by Unknown. INJURIES ARE NOT SERIOUS Tramp Asks for Food, "Which Padrf Denies as Clipboard Is Bare. Injured Man ' "Walks Five ' " Miles Tor Treatment. " Father J. J. Conway, pastor of Bt James' Catholic Church at New Era, Or., II miles south of Portland, was shot twice in the right hand as he lay asleep In bed at his home yesterday morning. Two shots, fired In rapid succession, awakened the priest, and, as he sat up in bed, he felt a numbness in his right hand and blood trickling down his fingers. The figure of a tall man, who resem bled closely a tramp who had called on him the previous afternoon and been refused something to eat because there was nothing in the house, was disap pearing In the darkness through the doorway. He carried a revolver In his hand. Father Conway took a hasty inven tory of himself. One bullet had pierced the right hand, below the wrist, but had failed to strike a bone. It Inflicted a mere flesh wound. The other bullet grazed one of his fingertips. Priest W alks Five Miles. Father Conway remained in his room until 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Then he walked to Oregon City, five miles llstant. and had the wound dressed. Yesterday afternoon he came to Port land. He is visiting at the home of Father James H. Black, of St.vFrancls Church. The authorities were notified yester. day but the man evidently has made eood his escape. Father Conway Is un wlllln gto prosecute. "I am not seeking revenge." he said. I am thankful that I escaped alive." Father Conway is convinced that the man whom he was .unable to feed on Thursday afternoon is the man who shot him. The priest lives alone In a cottage ad Joining the chucrh. He Is his own housekeeper. ' He Is compelled to make frequent trips away from his home and does not keep, a large supply of food In his larder.' He had just returned from a trip when the tramp called. The stranger was unwilling to listen to an explanation. "I'l get even with you," he said as he sulked away. Threat Is Keembered. Father Conway did not give the in cident another thought. But he remem bered the threat after he had been shut. The man who asked for food was about six feet in height, with a week's growth of beard, dark" hair, and pre tended to be slightly deaf. Ho was about 40 years old. The territory around New Era has been overrun with tramps in the last few weeks and Father Conway has done much to feed many of them. He seldom turns a man away. It he has food in the house. "It was a mighty close call." he said yesterday. "It would be useless to hunt the poor fellow and try to prosecute him. I would have fed mm had I ben able." Father Conway Is ?5 years old. He has been in charge of the church at New Era for a year and Is popular. INJURY FROM AUTO FATAL George A.

COUNTRY GIRL CAUTIONED Instructions on What Not to Do When Visiting Strange City Given. CHICAGO. Bee 1. A list of Instruc tions for the girl who comes slone to big city, was set Xtt4 today, by Mrs, Nan Sperry, Assistant Labor Commissioner- of Missouri, at the convention of the Association of Public Employ ment Officers. Mrs. Sperry's hints for the guidance of the country girl were gleaned from her experiences at the Kansas City of fice of the bureau and as a preliminary she first advised girls not to come- to cities unless it cannot be avoided. Other instructions were: "If you must come, don't ask any stranger for information. "Find a policeman, go to a police station for information or go to the Y. W. C. A. or some place that Is known to you. "Have money enough for at least a month. "Keep your money In your stocking; It is safer than a purse. "Beware of the stranger who offers to guide "you or carry your grip. Maybe he has horns under his hat. "Have some relative meet you If pos sible. ' "Go back to the country as soon as you can." "The greatest problem I have to con front in my work." Mrs. Sperry said, "is the task of coping with the country girls who come to the city seeking em ployment. Many have no notions what ever of the conditions they will be compelled to meet" SUPPORT FOR LINE ASKED ALASKA LIXE TP TO TJS," SAYS W. S. H'FHGRSOX. Canning Supplies and General Mer chandise Mast Form Baals of Northbound Freights. Business men of Portland are called upon to join in . the ' support of the Alaska steamship service, which is to be opened soon, and W. G. McPherson. chairman of the permanent committee on Alaska trade for the Chamber of Commerce, has issued a general state ment of the arrangements that have been made for the service up to the present time. "The Alska trade committee," he says in his announcement, "begs to an-, nounce that- the Pacific Steamship Company will open a weekly sailing schedule by March 1 at least, covering Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Wfangell. Petersburg, Juneau, Treadwell, Haines and Skagway, and all other points be tween the boundary and Icy Straits having business to warrant. High-class steam schooners, with . passenger ac commodations sufficient for cannery crews, will ne used, insuring the very best freight service that may be main tained. At Skagway the vessels will connect with the White Pass & Yukon Railway, opening the entire Yukon Basin to this port down as far as and Including Tanana Valley. "Rates are guaranteed equal to the rates maintained between Puget Sound and Southeastern Alaska. The White Pass railway management says that it will guarantee a rate via that line and river steamboats as low as the rate . given by the Bering Sea-St Michaels lines. This territory opened embraces the Canadian Yukon, and that portion of the American Yukon down to and including Tanana. "It Is up to us now. No transportation line can succeed unless It Is supported by the people served. Portland has the business to make this a brilliant suc cess. If every business firm of the city will take an aggressive, deter mined interest, we will soon need more boats to handle tho traffic, thus in creasing our service. "We must depend upon cannery sup plies, general merchandise, hay. feed, lumber, box shooka, etc., for the north bound traffic. Some canneries will buy here this year to determine if we are able to compete. They must be given the best price. Many of our enterpris ing merchants are preparing to send representatives Into the territory served with a firm purpose of getting the business. - "All these must be supported to the limit. Bids will be opened here this year for hay, grain and feed stuffs for Northern consumption. We must have this business, which we can get and hold despite all competition If we go after It right, with a purpose of pro tecting the city. "The chamber Is declaring that we are able to compete with any city on the Coast In grains, flour, feeds, hay, produce, fruit, dairy products, poultry products and livestock products. If we will do our part In securing this class of trade alone In the North, It will support a much greater steamship line than Is now planned. Get the busi ness! "This Is the beginning of the cam paign to enTarge our markets. In the past the Pacific Ocean was the western limit for our jobbers. We are going to open territory beyond this line by means of steamships. Fbrtland must support the movement with all her strength, which is sufficient to fortify her against all competitors." HALT WILL BE CALLED I!t BTTtRB WASHWGTOS WILL- NOT DO MAW home: GAMES. Idaho and Eastern Washlagtoa Colleges Decide Doble Has Beew Having Soft Snap" All Too Long. SPOKANE. Wash, Dec. 19. (Spa- els'.) If Northwest College conference football managers will follow the lead of Gus Larson, graduate manager ef the University of Idaho, the arbitrary University .of Washington six-year champions will find themselves, by 1915, cut off from the rest of the conference with not more than one Dig game on, their home field. The university has had enough of them on their own backyard the last few years. The time has come when it must give the other fellows a return deal. In the Fall of 1914. Washington State College will have played out a three-year contract with the univer sity, during which time the Pullman athletes played three straight games on Seattle soil. The Washington State College graduate manager of athletics, John R. Bender, has announced that he will not continue any further relations with the University of Washington unless the latter comes to this side of the mountains in 1915. To keep up the string of consecu tive home games on their own play grounds, the universty is figuring on getUng the University' of Idaho to play In Seattle In 1915. but Manager Gus Larson declares flatly that Idaho will never play another game In Seattle until the university comes to this side of the mountains. Thus. If the unl versits would keep up an unbroken exchange of games with east side col leges, it must come to Spokane or Moscow in 1S14 for a game with Idaho. That would give them Idaho at home in 1915. and bring them across tne mountains again in 1915 with Washing ton State College. Tn force the university to an agree ment of this sort Manager Larson, ot trfihr. and Bender of Washington State College have pitted their influ ences together. They have agreed to stick together through thick and thin and bring about this arrangment If possible. Harris Trunk Co. tor fitted bags. I1EWPLAIJTT0C0I Masts and Spars to Be Manu factured at St. Helens. MACHINETO PERFORM WORK G. R. Bolander, 'or East Oakland, Cal., Plans to Fabricate From Tall Firs Flagpoles for Panama Pacific Exposition. Industrial development at St. Helena promises to take another leap through the establishment of a plant there by G. R. Bolander, of East -Oakland, Cal, to manufacture spars, masts, flagpoles and other equipment fashioned from lengthy fir trunks that are available on the Columbia. Mr. Bolanderis the patentee of a machine for turning out even the tallest masts and flagpoles, so has discarded the hand method in vogue for years He accepted a contract for furnishing all flagpoles for tne grounds and build ings at the 1915 fair at San Francisco and for the present will maintain his plant at East Oakland as well. It is said that with machinery a pole or mast 100 feet long can be turned out every day. Besides trade on the Coast, it is Intended to bid for some of the European business, where fir masts and spars are In demand owing to ship building activity. The St. Helens Creosoting Company, which was established about a year ago, is reaching out for business and there are indications that during 1914 increased shipments of treated lumber and piling will be made. The West Coast Floating Drydock Company, which intends to build a drydock at San Diego that will accommodate a vessel 600 feet long, has given out information that hardwood will not be specified for certain parts of the dock, as originally Intended, but that 8.000, 000 feet of creosoted timber will be used Instead. A contract has been let for the drydock wharf and work Is to start soon so that one Job should stimulate the creosote trade. Word has been received that the tank steamer Elsinore is loading 200,000 gallons of creosote at Amsterdam for delivery at St. Helens and the tanker Lompoc, be ing completed abroad, will take on 800. 000 gallons at Amsterdam for St. Helens in May. ' ROSE CITY IS BACK AGAIN 'Jimnilc' Byrnes Breaks Long Period by Taking Vacation. For the first time since he transferred his inkwell and accounts to the steamer Rose City.

AUTOS SHIPPED TO SOUTH Some Lines Bid for Trade That Is Not Always Welcomed. Steam schooners and other Indepen dent carriers engaged in handling gen eral cargo are transporting numerous autos between Portland and California ports these days, because the liners do not hold out inducements as a rule for that class of patronage, space being limited in the first place and danger of damage is another element taken into consideration. On the Camlno. sailing this afternoon, are five autos, two of which are trucks bound for Los Angeles. The latter class .

BOY SHOVELS COAL Deserting Bretagne for Steamer Not Satisfactory Change. ; From Honolulu comes a story that the cabin boy-of the French bark Bre tagne, which sailed from there Decem ber 9. had deserted the bark .and stowed away aboard the British steam er Kestrel, bound for Fanning Island, but as the latter vessel was short a Xircm&a because be tarried. Bjhoro too long, the, bark's cabin boy was as signed -to stoking when found. The. youngster had stowed in' the forepeak of the steamer and a descrip tion fits that of the missing member of the Bretagne' s crew. Shoveling coal is not expected to prove a welcome change from attending to duties aft on the square rigger. The Bretagne is bound here to load wheat. MERCED IS STAUNCH VESSEL For 1 6 Days Steamer Withstood Ter rific Pounding of Seas. Captain L. Curtis, surveyor for the San Francisco Board of Marine Under writers at the home office, has of ficially reported on the wreck of the McCormtck steamer Merced, recently wrecked six .miles south of Point Gordaf while bound here from the Golden Gate, In which he compliments the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company on the construction features of the vessel as well as material used. Captain Curtis says he visited the wreck 11 days after she went on the rocks and she had not only withstood the terrific pounding but every swell lifted her forward and that at times when she dropped back again on the rocks she rolled 30 degrees. For five days later the Merced maintained an unbroken sheer line, he writes, and nowhere was a butt badly disturbed or the cement and oakum forced out of the seams. Finally a strong gale from the southeast, with a westerly swell, changed her position and being only supported amidships, she "broke her back," but did not break In two. SOUTH AFRICAN RATES DROP Latest Lumber Engagement Shows Freight Market Easier. Chartering at San Francisco for lumber to South African ports is ex hibiting weakness, say advices, from there. Comyn, Mackall & Co. took the American ship Aryan Monday to load at Victoria for two ports in South Af rica at 67s 6d, while 6s more was paid two weeks ago and early in the Fall 80s was the going rate. . The British steamer Harpagus, taken by Davis & Fehon for South Arrica, gets 76s, the charter having been be fore the market dropped so low. On lumber from Puget Sound to the United Kingdom the French bark Anna de Bretagne gets 67s 6d, while the French bark Ernest Reyer, loading at Eureka, received 60s, as does the La Rochefou cauld. The schooner H. K. Hall was taken at 60s to load for Australia. Marine Notes. Charles R. McCormtck, head of the lumber and steamship corporations bearing his name,- Is In the city from San Francisco, and will remain about a week. Towed by the tug Samson, the Brit ish bartc Hinemoa left down yesterday, wheat laden for the United Kingdom. The British bark Thlstlebank is to de part today in tow of the Ocklahama. The British bark Inverurie shifted yes terday from Llnnton to a berth at Oceanic dock. The British ship Phila delphia is to complete working grain today and probably head for sea Tues day. .t On the arrival of the new" Grace liner Santa Catalina from New York she will berth at Albers dock. To have her donkey boiler repaired and her. hull-cleaned and .painted, the schooner Winslow, arriving Thursday from Coquimbo, is to be lifted on the Oregon drydock. - First Mate Bob Cunningham, of the steamer Lurline, is being given credit for good headwork in quickly passing a pike pole to a deckhand . who fell from the steamer into the river at St. Helens Thursday. The man was hauled out and though chilled "turned to" at once. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. . ' - Steamer Schedule. DUB TO ARRIVE. Xame. From. Date.

BATES, EXGIXEER FROM PAN AMA, SAYS SLIDE DELAYS. Expenditure of 9375,000,000 la Hade Without Graft "Canal Needed," la Dlssrnsted Remark. VANCQUVER, Wash., Dec. 19. (Spe .clal.) "The Panama Canal probably will not be open for commerce until the time first set for opening;. January 1, 1915," said W. H. Bates, who for the past nine years has been connected with the engineering: department on the work of the canal. Mr. Bates arrived here today to visit relatives. "The reason for this delay Is the big Cucaracha slide, which will require an immense amount of work to remove. Several devices have been tried, and at present work is delayed waiting: for the. buildlnr of two large dipper dredges in New York, both of which are contracted to bo delivered by Jan uary 1, with a penalty of 8100 a day for each day over contract time. "One unusual thing about the big canal in the, expending of the $375, 000, there has been absolutely no graft," continued Mr. Bates. "Had politics en tered into the project I believe that a great sum would have been lost to the people." Mr. Bates, when he called up a local freight agent, learned that .he will be compeiled to pay $5.55 a hundred for household goods and books sent from New York to Vancouver, and said: "Well, I guess you need a canal out here." Mr. Bates believes that the opening of the canal will mark a big devel opment of the Pacific Coast tvlth the cheaper freight rates that will go into effect. Snow Storm Hits' Asotin.
