RAIL LINES ASK TO Supremely CONTRABAND RULE FROM LAWYER TO ACTOR, POST SAYS 'TIS THE LIFE' RUN BOAT SERVICE ASKED ON EXPORTS Satisfying Star in "Omar, the Tentmaker," Quits Seattle Office to Go Out in Big World and Win Fame as Finished Artist in Theaterdom. Shippers Await President's Definition Before Sending Out Cargoes to Europe. BRITISH REFUSE RISKS War Dangers on Pacific Foodstuffs Not Yet Assured by London Gov ernment Tramp Denied Pugct Sound Clearance. Whether wheat, flour and other foodstuffs that regularly move from Portland to the United Kingdom are contraband of war has not been of ficially decided by Washington for the guidance of Collector of Customs Burke and his staff. In response to a query yesterday if a wheat cargo would be cleared on the presentation of a mani fest, it was said that no orders had been forwarded to refuse such a clear ance. At the same time should exporters deem it safe to load a grain cargo for Kurope. Washington would be asked to telegraph permission before clear ance would be granted. Custom House officials take the stand that under the law It will devolve on President Wilson to issue a proclamation setting forth what goods are considered con traband and collectors at all ports In turn would be notified of steps they sh.ill take in handling such items when shown on malfests of foreign vessels or those under the American flag when seeking clearance to a port involved in the European war. War Risk Sot Vet Assumed. No cables were received yesterday by exporters and they said, so far as thev had ascertained, there was no change in the situation over that of the past few days. A report was in circulation that the British government had agreed to assume war risks on cargoes of foodstuffs from the Pacific Coast as well as those from the At lantic side of the United States and British Columbia, but no such advice was received by the Portland Flour ing Mills Company or Balfour. Guthrie & Co.. firms particularly Interested. Cables early In the week were to the effect that an effort was being made fo have Pacific Coast shipments cov ered, but the protection has not been extended as yet. F. M. Cherry. British vice consul at Astoria, refused yesterday to permit the British tramp Strathalbyn to sail from the Columbia River to Puget Sound to complete her lumber cargo for Australia. His action, it is said, was in line with a telegram from San Francisco warning of the danger of capture by German cruisers off the coast. Andalusia at Tslmctau. That the Hamburg-American liner Andalusia, bound for Portland from Hamburg by way of Oriental ports, is at Tsingtuii and not Manila, as was first supposed, is the conviction of Fritz Kirchoff. Portland representative of the line Dispatches yesterday were to the effect Japan would attack Tsingtau. where German merchant vessels are said to have taken refuge, but Mr. Kirchoff does not think this probable. Reports that weather bureau tele graph stations at the entrance to har bors along the coast had been Instruct ed to cease giving information as to the movements of vessels are not of ficially confirmed here. Acting Dis trict Forecaster Drake said last night that no instructions of the kind had been received at the Portland office. Such a move would not interfere with the Merchants' Exchange, as the serv ice would be obtained from the lower harbor as before. Derisive Battle Awaited. That there is no right side to the commercial situation is the view of exporters, who averred yesterday that It was apparently useless to plan and speculate on what might be done until a. decisive engagement had taken place. When German warships have left the Pacific and the route via the Pan ama Canal is reasonably safe, they assert, then shipping may resume. Un der the rules of the censorship estab lished by Great Britain all cables must be in English, no code being allowed and no offers have been received, charters made or reported or other transactions recorded. . I'iKKBOAT SENT TO OCEAXIC Itemnant of Dock Fire Watched to Avoid Future Trouble. To guard against any spread of sparks from the site of Oceanic dock, where wheat, old timbers and other debris remaining from the fire of July :. is burning, the preboat David Camp bell was assigned there yesterday to extinguish the burning piles. No de velopments were reported In connec tion with a small Are found Wednesday alongside the Elevator dock, which was purposely started with oil-soaked waste and a small amount of sticks and boards, though a watch Is being main tained along the East Side grain docks. Care is being exercised around the smoldering heaps where Oceanic dock stood to avoid any spread, because when the Northwest Door Company's plant burned some asserted that It originated from sparks blown across the slip of the Upper Albina ferry from burning plies remaining from the tire that destroyed Columbia dock No. 2.

VESSEL'S OFFICER -KILLED Member of Steamer 1-Vrnlc.v's Crew Falls 25 Feet to Death. Ulysses H. Bryan, second officer of the British steamer Fernley, tripped on a Btringer on Montgomery Dock No. L'. fell 25 feet to a float in the river below, end was killed. Bryan was a native of Bristol. Png- ilenibers of the vessel s crew BY WALTER MAY. T'S all in the way you say it. I Some funmaker comes along and sings "This Is the Life," and. if you're honest about it, you'll say it's devilish, or smart, or foolish, or maybe Bohemian, according as you are bent. Guy Bates Post comes caravanin along in "Omar the Tentmaker." and In the course of a casual conversation says. "This Is the life," but you don't think there's anything foolish or Bo hemian about It. You will intuitively understand lie's serious not too seri ous about it. In the course of time 1 vou will hnve a keen realization that he didn't leave a legal calling for noth ing. Certainly not. He left a law of flee In Seattle 25 or 26 years ago for something a tangible something namely, self-satisfaction, upholstered with a little remuneration. "ICs Just Like This,' He ssf. "It's just like this." he will tell you. "I was born up here in Seattle. I ab sorhed San Francieco for a while, but eventually I was back in Seattle, en tering upon a legal career in a good old attorney's office. I knew when I began that profession I would leave it some time. I knew I was going on the stage. I was convinced at the end of the month, when the 18 I expected to get to keep body and soul together, so to speak, wasn't forthcoming. So I began then and there to go on the stage. Here 1 am. and let me say to you, this Is the life." And Guy Bates Po6t dosen't leave any doubt in your mind that he means it. Neither does he give you a chance to think that all the glory of it is in the elusive emoluments of the makeup box, or the night life and the abandon that co with the stage. His worlds a stage, if ever there was one, and he's on it every minute, studying, climbing, plan ning and working with a studlousness that is fascinating. Every town he visits (and he takes one-night stands as thev come) is a scene with him every audience a new manuscript to be learned. "Fairy land idealized," is the way he expresses it. "In it I earn my living help others to get theirs, polish my manners and mirror my faulte," and he concludes with asking you: "Is there a more practical Eutopla?" Guy Bates Post neally Humnn. Mr. Post carries an atmosphere of success about him. and, notwithstand ing he is young yet, he is stable, too. When lie throws off the mask of Omir Khayyam and goes forth to mingle with his benefactors, the people, he is modern and human. "Omar the Tentmaker." for the pres ent, is Mr. Post's chief interest. He lias played it in New York and all around the country with almost re ligious devotion for a good many weeks, but every night and every matinee is a new entrance into the fairyland of the eleventh century poet-philosopher, Omar Khayyam of Naishapur. This in spite of the fact that his physician rec ommended (I don't believe anyone ever "tells" Mr. Post) that he rest for a while. In this connection he bared a secret. Nitke. the musical director of the Ori ental music of "Omar the Tentmaker," is really Mr. Post's guide to his work. Musical Director Pout Oulde. "Nitke plays every night with all sorts of musicians," said Mr. Post. "He brought him back on the dock and sum moned Harbormaster Speier and the harbor police. Dr. Marcellus pro nounced death due to a fracture of the skull. GERMANY AXD ITALY FIGHT Shovel Serves Instead of Gun and Kaiser's Force Worsted. Italy has declared war on Germany. T3AUa nave not carried the news, neither do the rulers of each na tion know that such a state of affairs hut it iu a fact that an engage ment took place yesterday on ground owned by tne unnea t .i, thA countries were strongly represented and blood was shed. The fracas occurred at tne ousiom house. A crowd of Italians have been emploved there for the past few weeks relaving floors in hallways in that building. Yesterday aiiernoun man appeared on the scene and with a few preliminaries unburdened himself of views on the European conflict and might have said something about Ital ians having "cold feet." At any rate one from Sunny Italy landed on the Teuton with a shovel and the latter went down with a Baltic Sea bombard ment ringing in his ears. Preserving neutrality. Custom-house attaches saw nothing of the trouble, do not know the names of the belligerents or the final score, being interested only in having the work on the floors hurried. WAUXA IS OCT FOR REPAIRS Cancellation of Lumber Orders Re sults in Reduction of Log Rafts. To have her cylinder timbers renewed and be generally overhauled, the stern wheeler Wauoa, of the Shaver flag, was hauled out at the plant of the Portland Shipbuilding Company yesterday. The Wauna was built in 1906 ifnd it is the first set of cylinder timbers to be re placed. The steamer Cascades is laid up at the Shaver yard on the East Side and the Shaver has gone down the river for a tow again after having had the upper section of her stack replaced. To some extent war trouble Is being felt by towing fleets, as the cancellation of orders for export lumb has com pelled the mills to delay bringing cer tain rafts here for manufacture into merchantable stuff. Sandy to Dredge in Lewis. Dredging is to be carried on through the draw and alongside the new North ern Pacific bridge spanning Lewis River, the dredge Sandy being used. She is to leave the plant of the Union Meat Company, in North Portland har bor, Monday and probably will be towed by one of the Shaver steamers. During former low water periods in the Lewis shoals near the bridge were com plained against by steamboat men and it is intended to clear that part of the channel in the vicinity of the bridge for which the railroad interests might be deemed responsible. Marine Notes. Coming to load lumber for the Orient, the British steamer Hazel Dollar sailed from San Francisco yesterday. Captain Takai. master of the Jap anese tramp Kenkon Maru. has of fered a reward of $25 for the return of K. Sakurai. cabin boy on the vessel, who deeerted Wednesday night. Arrangements are being made to dis patch the second cigar-shaped log raft built at Stella this season, August 15. It belongs to the Hammond Lumber Company and goes to San Francisco. To load lumber for the south the steamer Solano left the West Oregon mill yesterday afternoon for Prescott and Wauna. The steamer Navajo is to load wheat for San Francisco at Irving dock.

Some nights, you know, a big show will go better than on others Perhaps the musicians of a small town who have little opportunity to practice the heavy music, will spoil things. But Nitke not only whips his musicians into key; he keeps a close accounting of my work. When the show is over he will say: " "Mr Post, you feel pretty good to night, nicht wahr?" or he will say. So Mr. Pest, you don't feel so good to night," and I know at once whether I had better sleep an extra hour or whether I am in fine fettle for the Dart. "And, I want to tell you a story about Nitke. We came into a little Oerman town not long ago, and it was a big, wholesome, old German who did the second violin. Well, Nitke rehearsed them to what he thought was a fine point. But when the performance came this old fellow played through the mu sic like he was sawing wood. He didn't observe a single rest, and Nitke kept exhorting him under his breath to rest.' 'rest.' But the old fellow played on and Nitke finally stooped over, ana, hammering his bow on the music, lain shouted: 'Rest there, rest: fiddling Goes on and On. " 'Oh, dat's all"echt, I'm not tired,' came back the answer, and the fiddling went on. "So, you see, we have a little comeuj among ourselves once in a nunc mo... the public isn't jn on." Mr. Post swears the story is true and he tells it with that natural gift of the good actor. Eight years ago Mr. Post came to Portland as a mighty good actor in "The Heir to the Hoorah." Today he is here in "Omar the Tentmaker" as a skillfully finished artist. He nasn i relied on being born an actor, ne ims made himself an artist. And incidentally, it isn't every star who is big enough to share his inter view with "Nitke." Bryan, of the British steamer Fernley, who fell between the ship and dock yes terday and was killed, the regular Fri day evening social at the Seamen's In stitute has been postponed. Towed by the steamer Ocklahama, the schooner Beulah left down yesterday, bound for San Pedro, with lumber. The British bark Howth, laden with lumber for Liverpool, i to leave down this morning and will remain at Astoria pending further instructions. One of the largest snags removed from the channel by the Harbor Patrol force this season was located in front of the Irving dock yesterday. It measured about four feet in diameter and was long enough to extend from the bed of the river to the surface. H. Anderson, a German, who sails for San Francisco today on the steamer Klamath, reported at the office of Frank Bollam, ticket agent for the ves sel, yesterday that en route from Van couver, B. C, to Portland he was held up by Canadian officials at Sumas, he being taken for a German spy. He said that he secured his release through the intervention of the American Consul.

Interested groups who have gath ered about wrathful citizens nrguing about the war have obstructed the downtown streets during the past few days. Yesterday noon a large crowd grouped about a German and a Brit isher at the corner of Sixth and Wash ington streets and a heated argument took place between the two men over the respective merits of Great Britain and Germany. Finally wagers were made on the outcome of tho present European war. At 8 o'clock last night two separate crowds gathered at Sixth and jnder streets to listen to two arguments. The debaters tnis time, however, were Americans. One duo argued over the legality of European nations calling out reserves from the United States. The other two men were debating the question of illiteracy among the Ger man and Russian people. On this latter argument wagers were made. Spokane, Portland and Seattle and O.-W. R. & N. Appeal to Commerce Commission. MANY FLEETS INVOLVED Routes on Snake River and to Ilwaco Country Supported by Farmers Who Have No Other Outlet for Grain at Reasonable Rate. Before Henry C. Hall, Commissioner for the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, hearing of the petition of the Spo kane, Portland & Seattle Railway to be permitted to continue its steamboat service on the Middle Columbia River, between Fortland and The Dalles, un til it can dispose of its boats, will be gin at 10 o'clock this morning in the Federal Court. Under the Panama Canal act, which prohibits railroad companies from oper ating competing water lines, this serv ice should have been discontinued July 1. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion granted an extension, however, pending a hearing. The Spokane, Portland & Seattle will be entitled to operate its boats until the Commission hands down its de cision from the evidence presented at this hearing. Lines Would Continue Boats. The railway company has only two boats now in operation on the Middle Columbia, the Bailey Gatzert and the Dalles Cltv Evidence to show that its petition should not be granted is to be submitted by contesting parties. Charles H. Carey will represent the Spokane, Portland & Seattle. Of even more importance Is the hear ing to be held before Commissioner Hall on petitions from the O.-W. R. & N. Company for leave to continue oper ation of its river boats on the Upper Snake River, between Riparia and the head of navigation; of a passenger steamer on Lake Coeur d'Alene; of its river fleet between Portland and As toria and Megler, Wash., connecting with the Ilwaco Railroad & Navigation Company, and of its steamers Bear, Beaver and Rose City, of the San Fran cisco & Portland Steamship Company. running between Portland, San Fran Cisco and San Pedro, Cal. No contestants have appeared against any of these petitions. The wordin; of the Panama Canal act is so broad however, that the railroad attorneys say it might be construed to prohibit a rail line from operating any boat lines Hence, it is considered necessary to ob tain special authority from the Com merce Commission to continue them in service. Snake River Boats Carry Grain. The O.-W. R. & N. Company has two steamboats on the Upper Snake Kiver Their principal business consists of carrying grain from producers on the south bank of the Snake Kiver to Ki- paria, whence it is transshipped by rail A railroad from Grangeville to Lewis- ton runs on the north bank of the river, and the O.-W. R. & N. has an interest in this road, which might technically classify the boat line as a competing To ship their grain across the Snake to this railroad on the north bank, however, is regarded as highly im practicable for the growers an the south bank, as ferries are few. "The cost of hauling by team down to the river and across by ferry, moreover, is fl.25 a load, and, as the river runs be tween high bluffs, it is Impracticable in most cases to make more than one trip a day. Growers to Support Rond. So important to their interests do wheat and barley growers on the south bank consider the continuance of the steamboat service that it is un derstood some of them will be at Sat urday's hearing to testify. They have as low rate by boat as they can get by the railroad. The steamer operated on Lake Coeur d'Alene by the O.-W. R. & N. is tne stern-wheeler Harrison, plying be tween Wallace and Coeur d'Alene. The steamer service between Port land and Astoria, and Megler, Wash., conees within the purview of the Pan- ma Canal act because the O.-W. It. & N. operates what might be termed a competing line from Portland as far as Kalama on the same tracks used by the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific between Portland and Seattle. I. arm- Capital Involved. The O.-W. R. & N. Co. has upwards of SI, 000,000, its officials say, invested in this steamboat plant, its Megler and Ilwaco, Wash., terminals and the Il waco rail line along North Beach points. This railroad has no connec tion with Portland except over the O. W. R. & N. boats, which have been in service many years, as there is no rail road down the Washington shore of the Columbia River. Should the river fleet have to discontinue, the Ilwaco line and the people of Pacific County, Wash., would be left without any out side connections. Like the other petitions, this one is not contested. The petition for leave to operate the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company's fleet is entered to safe guard against any technical construc tion of the law, as the O.-W. R. & N. Co., owner of the steamship company, has no rail line south of Portland. Arthur C. Spencer will appear for the O.-W. R. & N. Co. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND, Aus. 6.
