rallnre of Vessel to "Lift" to Bi;
Swell Murine Explanation of
Vessel's Mishap Starboard
Side Chief Sufferer.
Boarded by a monstrous sea. at 11
o'clock Monday night off the Co
lumbia River entrance, which struck
her aft and on tne starboard side,
the steamer Bearer sustained dam
age to two staterooms and ratlings
on the upper and promenade decks. In
addition, the after section of the prome
nade deck was forced upward by the
force of the wave, several beams and
the decking being splintered. Through
the damage to staterooms aft. water
found its way into several on the main
deck, aft of the saloon.
The vessel arrived here at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon." After her Injuries
were passed upon by Captain McNaught
surveyor for the San Francisco Board
of Marine Underwriters, a force of
ship carpenters was ordered on hand
this morning to start repairs, so she
will be in ber old-time form again when
ready to sail Saturday. There were
about 173 passengers aboard the Bea
ver, and some of those who had turned
in received a ducking. There were no
serious personal injuries reported.
Second Steward Duggan, who was
making his rounds to see that all win
dows and doors were closed, as is custo
mary when heading for the bar, was
caught amidships and thrown to the
deck by the wave, the knee and shin of
one leg being scratched and bruised
through striking against a ladder lead
ing to the promenade deck.
.UM Cleari Sea Not Severe.
Captain Mason said that the night
was clear and the sea in the vicinity
of the lightvessel not unusually severe,
save that there was a heavy westerly
swell. After picking up the lightvessel
he decided to head for the entrance of
the river to ascertain conditions. He
headed in until the red gas buoy mark
ing the side of the entrance was dis
cernible and then saw beyond a wall
of "white water," the bar apparently
breaking clear across.
He Mays Immediately he signaled for
the engines to reverse, preparatory to
turning abont and heading for the open
;ea, when the wave struck. Another
hit the Baver about amidships star
board, but simply -.broke and threw
much spray ahoanl. aptaln Mason re
niained outside until 8 :"0 o'clock yester
day morning and crossed in. seas break
ing at times, lnrlde. the steamer Rose
City, of the same fleet, with.the steam
ers Saginaw. Wellcslcy, Ool. K. L.
Drake and 1 Segundo and barges No.
l and if'S were barbound.
Staterooms Are Flooded.
About three years ago the Beaver re
ceived similar damage in command of
Captain Nelson, now master of tne pa
cific Mail liner Korea, and a year ago
eight staterooms aft were badly dam
aged, both accidents taking place as
iie was crossing into the Columbia,
she was well outside Monday night,
and according to marine men. she
' did not "lift" on the big swell, and the
full force was received, accordingly.
The wall of the rear stateroom on
the starboard side was broken in and
the upper panel of the door to the ad
joining stateroom carried out, while
others were flooded.
A woman passenger having a. state
room on the saloon deck complained to
the officers that she had nsked a waiter
o go to the room after the accident and
bring two rings she left In a wall rack
and that he returned with one, a dia
mond ring not being given her. The
police were notified and detectives
Interviewed the suspected waiter last
night after he Vrai discharged from the
ship. It was his first trip.
DECKHAND'S BODY IS FOCXD
Employe on Sacajanea Drowned
Through Falling From Stringer.
Arthur Stewart, employed as a deck
hand on the steamer Sacajawea. was
drowned at St. Johns Monday morning
when on his way from shore to the
vessel, through having fallen from a
stringer piece under the St. Johns dock
that was used by the crew as a means
f reaching the steamer. The body was
recovered yesterday and turned over
to the Coronet.
Tho deceased joined the crew recent
ly and so far as is known he was pre
viously with a rircus. He lived at St.
Johns with Orvllle Uloh and the latter
was assisting in the search for tho body
yesterday when a grappling hook he
used caught in the clothing of the de
ceased and the body was brought to
trie surface. On seeing the face of the
dead comrade. Ulch waa so overcome
that he toppled Into tho river. Members
of the crew dragged him out before
making another attempt to get Stew
art's body. Stewart was S5 years of
age. He had said his parents were
dead, but that he had brothers residing
in Alberta.
GALES RAMPAXT OFF SHORE
Big Swell on Coast Prompts Sea
farers to Blame Blow at Sea.
High seas running along the Coast
are said by mariners to indicate that
a blow of unusual severity has pre
vailed some distance at sea. Steamers
iii-ilvtng the past few days report be
ing beset by a strong westerly swell.
i':pMin Macgcnn. of the steamer
Krrnkwater, which departed last night
for Coos Bay. said that the storm off
shore is solely responsible for the dis
turbed conditions off the Columbia.
- Inshvre no sever winds have pre
vailed of lte, but Captain Macgenn
says, the swell has been heavier than
usual. Early yesterday an east wind
was reported at the mouth of the river
and the bar rough, though it is more
often tne case that an east wind means
a smoot.i bar.

COMMITTEE URGES
AUDITORIUM ACTION
Portland Commercial Club Ap
points Body to Confer With
Mr. Brewster.
"DO IT NOW," SENTIMENT
Suggestion of Old Lincoln High
Schotil and Armory Locations
v Pot Forward as Most Acces
sible for Building Site.
Immediate action looking toward
the securing; of a site and the erec
tion of the long-delayed Municipal
Auditorium, will be sought by a com
mittee from the Portland Commercial
Club, which was appointed yesterday,
and which will confer with Commis
sioner Brewster this morning at 9:30.
In the appointment of the committee
the opinion was expressed that the
point of primary importance is to
bring about some definite action. The
suggestion of the old Lincoln High
School ground as a possible site, by
the Greater Portland. Plans Associa
tion, and the suggestion of the pres
ent Armory block, and several other
places as sites, will probably bring Into
consideration something definite con
cerning the proper place on which
to erect the auditorium.
The members of the committee, ap
pointed yesterday by the president,
are: John S. Beall, president; J. Fred
Larson, George W. Klelser, John H.
Burgard . and Edgar B. Piper. The
committee will report back to the
Commercial Club Tuesday.
Immediate Action Keeeaaary.
I Among the members of the com
mittee who spoke about the auditorium
plans yesterday, the importance and
necessity of immediate action of some
sort by the City Commission, was
emphasized, but it appeared from their
remarks that the old Lincoln High
School site and the Armory site ap
peal 'to them most strongly, with the
Inclination in favor of the High School
site.
"There Is need of Immediate action,"
said Mr. Beall last night. "We have
been delayed long enpugh and the
auditorium is as far from becoming
a reality as it was three years ago.
Regardless of where the structure may
be built, it appears that the people of
the city are quite In harmony about
one thing at least: that it shall be
built.
"Both the old Lincoln High School
ground and the Armory site, which I
understand may soon be vacated,
would be very proper places for the
Auditorium. I am inclined to regard
the High School site as the more fa
vorable, both because of Its central lo
cation and because it coincides more
nearly with the suggestions of the ex
perts in the Bennett plans. The recent
mention of the High School site by the
Greater Portland Plans Association has
much weight in favor of that location."
ArranKementa Thousht Possible.
Reiterating practically the senti
ments expressed by Mr. Beall, John H
Burgard said that he did not believe
there existed any serious obstacle to
the acquisition of the proposed site on
the old High School grounds. '
"I believe that there should be no
trouble in making some arrangement
whereby the site might be made avail
able." he said. ,
If it were not purchased outright.
It would be, in my opinion, quite pos
sible for the School board to lease it
to the city for an autorium site or to
transfer the title to the city in ex
change for an equivalent piece of prop
erty in some other district."
A similar view on the possibility 01
leasing or exchanging other property
for the site was expressed by Mr. Piper
and other members of the committee.
John F. Logan declared that he be
lieved no obstacle whatever to exist, in
a legal way, to tho erection of the audi
torium on the site now occupied by tne
old Lincoln High School. If neither a
lease of the site were secured, nor a
purchase or trade in lieu of other prop
erty, he held that the auditorium could
be built by the city and placed in tne
hands of the School Board as an edu
cational Institution, Just as a manual
training school could be built and
turned over to the School Board to ad.
minister.
Mrs. Logan Is Oiiarlnator.
The suggestion of the old Lincoln
High School grounds as a site for the
auditorium, although advanced by a
number of personB recently, originated
more than a year ago with Mrs. John
F. Logan and was made public in a
communication through nhe press. The
agitation for the auditorium died down
for a time mid not until the recent
awakening of public opinion on the
matter was the old high school site
again brought forward.
M. . Munly, of the School Board,
said that the old high school grounds
offered a site almost exactly coincident
with the recommendations in the Ben
nett plana, and for that reason, if the
auditorium is to be built on the West
Side, would be probably the most favor
able one.
He was not certnln as to the legality
of the School Board leasing the ground
to the city or entering into any joint
contract with the city regarding the
auditorium, but said that Jf funds were
available the slta could most certainly
be purchased by the city for the audi
torium. VON KLEIN F0UND GUILTY
(Continued From Flrnt rage.)
each of the previoua hearings. The
last trial, however, was on a charge
of bigamy. The first two hearings,
at which the juries wera unable to
agree, wera on charges of larceny of
jewels from Miss Ethel Newcomb, with
whom he was convicted yesterday of
living polygamously.
The evidence which was offered in
support of the two charges Is almost
Identical. In 1903 Von Klein and Miss
Louise Illstrup, of Minneapolis, were
married in Michigan City, Ind. In
October. 1911. as George "Bertram
Lewis, it was charged, he married
Miss Ethel Newcomb. in Ban Francisco.
They came ' to Portland a few days
later and registered. It Is said, at the
Fortland Hotel, as "Mr. and Mrs.
George B. Lewis, 8. F."
Desertloa Is Charged.
Only a few days after their arrival
here, it was charged that he deserted
"Mrs. Lewis," taking with him her
jewels, valued at about $3500. At the
first two trials, at which the juries
were nnable to agree, he was charged
with larceny of Miss Newcomb s
jewels. The conviction yesterday was
for living polygamously with Miss
Xeivomb.
Since his arrest last Spring Von
Klein has resisted to the last every
move that has been made to convict
him, and the battle has not ended. After
sentence has been passed Friday, his
attorney will be allowed 15 day In
which to file a motion for a new trial.
An appeal to the Supreme Court will
be taken, it is believed. If the motion
for a new trial Is denied by Judge Kav
anaugh. After the verdict had been read and
the Jury polled, at tha request of At
torney Hume, Judge Kavanaugh was
asked to postpone sentence 30 days. Mr.
Hume said that his client was without
funds, and it would be necessary to
have that much time or more to com
municate with friends in the East and
secure assistance. Judge Kavanaugh
said this was too much time and said
he would grant 15 days to file the mo
tion, and named Friday as the date
when sentence will be passed,
Krans Pleads State Cause.
The jury retired yesterday morning
at 11:30 o'clock after the instructions
had been given by Judge Kavanaugh.
District Attorney Evans, who has not
appeared personally at any of the for
mer trials, made the closing and only
argument for the state. The only argu
ment made to the jury on behalf of the
prisoner was made by Attorney Hume,
who with T. B. McDevitt has been coun
sel for Von Klein since his arrival In
Portland, more than six months ago.
Deputy District Attorney Maguire was
associated with Evans in the prosecu
tion of the case. .
Mrs. E. Weber, of Kansas City, who
says she was swindled of jewels by
him, has been in attendance at all -of
the trials through which Von Klein has
gone. Though she has been in the
courtroom almost every time Von Klein
has been before the bar, she was not
present when the verdict was returned
last night. Mfs. Louise Illstru Von
Klein, - who testified against her hus
band last Friday, and Miss Newcomb,
who disappeared after the first trial,
are the only ones of his women asso
ciates who have testified against him.
POLICE STATION OPEN
"SOMEBODY'S" BID BRINGS SEV.
BRAL THOUSAND VISITORS.
Cltlaens Are Shown Through New
Building, but Officials Deny An
nouncing Formal "Wirmlig."
Several thousand visitors streamed
through the new police headquarters at
Second and Oak streets last night in
response to "somebody's" invitation to
inspect the new building and City Jail.
Music in the form of a stringed or
chestra greeted the throng as they en
tered the building and, after winding
through department offices, more mu
sio was encountered on the fourth
floor, where the police band was as
sembled in the gymnasium for weekly
practice. 1
The rush of visitors commenced
shortly after 7 o'clock, but even the
first few found doors opened and pa
trolmen waiting in the assembly-room
to act as escorts through the various
deDartments. Captains Moore, Ins-
keep and Jenkins were in charge of
arrangements ana routing.
Mayor Albee attended the opening af
ter playing the role of "Santa Claus"
at a children's party. Chief Clark
acted as host to the visitors and Judge
Stevenson was in his chambers to ex
plain the appointments of the new
courtroom and adjacent offices.
The detective department, under
Captain Baty, proved to bo the center
of attraction for the visitors. Another
section commanding great Interest was
the "lockup" on the fifth floor, where
inspection was made of the cells and
"drunk-rocim."
Police executives and Mayor Albee
yesterday found themselves confronted
with a public announcement that po
lice headquarters would be thrown
open for a housewarmlng and general
inspection. Someone asked somebody
else who had authorized tho order
Mayor Albee disclaimed all knowledge
of the festivities. Chief Clark insisted-
that no order had been issued by
him. so the pleasure of viewing the
new station Is credited (or otherwise)
to the newspapers.

ROUGH PLAY URGED
Substitute Fighting Advice of
Professor to Teachers.
DIRECTION OF TRAITS IDEA
Impossibility of Suppression of -In
stinct Is Intimated at Salem
Meeting-by Professor O'Shea, "
Wisconsin Educator.
SALEM. Or., Dec. 23. XSpecial.)
"Do you want to reduce to a minimum
fighting, teasing, bullying, among your
school boys?" asked M. . O Shea, pro
fessor of education at the University
of Wisconsin, in his address today at
the session of the western division of
the Oregon State Teachers' Association.
"Then let them play baseball, football
rough games, If you please. The
competitive element must be brought
into use to combat the primitive in
stinct What you cannot suppress,
you must direct. Give the children a
substitute for fighting and you will
find they will make out all right"
The Wisconsin professor declared
that the child was the product of all
that had gone before in thought and
activity, and that he can be improved
only by substitution of what should
be for what has been. ' In the past,
he declared, the child and the adult
were not essentially different in their
natures or their needs, the adult being
only stronger physically and intellect
ually. More interest centered In the rural
school department the second day of
the convention than the first ad
dresses being made by J. Percy Welles,
Superintendent of Jackson County
Schools; J. A. Churchill, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction; F. L.
Griffin, cf the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, and M. S. Pittman, of the Mon
mouth Normal School.
Mr. Welles discussed industrial
work in the rural schools, calling at
tention to the practical values of it
and the stimulus given It by tho state
and local fairs. -He showed that these
are necessary, that the country child
may be kept abreast of the times.
Superintendent Churchill presented
soma of the present problems of the
country schools and asked the co
operation of all in solving them.
Mr. Griffith explained the industrial
fairs. Mr. Pittman said the country
school was asking for five things, that
it may be made efficient:
An executive , superintendent with
power really to help the school: a tet
ter system of suraprvision so that its
advantages might be adequate to Its
needs; that the one-room school should
be consolidated in so far as practical
and possible; better teaching made
possible by legislative enactment, and
system of taxation so that the coun-
