THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8. 1914. 14 : : , debmcd WOMAN JUMPS TO DEATH Mrs. Anna M. Bolin Throws Herself From Seventh Floor of Stevens Building. DAUGHTER SEES, FAINTS Mental Cnbalance Dne to III Health and Deed Is Done While Physi cian Is Being Consulted Man . on Street Struck in Fall. Leaping from a window on the sev enth floor of the Stevens building, at the corner of West Park and Washing ton streets, in a fit of temporary in sanity. Mrs. Anna M. Bolin, 58 years old, was dashed to death on the side walk below. It was during the noon hour and the streets were crowded. Bcores saw Mrs. Bolln's terrible fall. She was the wife of F. C. Bolin. of 15 East Sixteenth street. The body, falling like a plummet, grazed J. L Brockman. a printer, of S29 Burnslde street, knocking him to one side. Mrs. Bolin, with her husband, had srone to the office of Dr. George F. Koehler shortly before. She had been undergoing treatment for nervous breakdown and stomach trouble, ex citable and extremely nervous, she nared the floor of the waiting-room. With her husband she entered the doctor's consultation room. Immediately afterwards she went back into the waiting-room suddenly. A window on the West-Park street side was open. Beside this window sat Jlartln Meier, a farmer ot Hillsaaie, who was waiting to see the doctor. Witness Attempts Hwcot. Mrs. Bolin Jumped to the window ledge. Mr. Meier, seeing what she was about to do, grabbed her left arm and attempted to pull her back, but Mrs. Bolin tore loose from his grip and threw herself into space. "You'd better watch Mrs. Bolin," sug gested Dr. Koehler to the husband, Just after she had left the room. "She seems very nervous." Mr. Bolin went into the reception room, but was too late. A whitefaced girl came downstairs from the Stevens building a few min utes later and accosted Patrolman Mal lon. who was keeping the crowd back. Who was it fell from the window?" che asked. "A Mrs. Anna Bolin. I believe," an swered the officer. "Mother!" gasped the girl, and fell in a faint. It was Margaret Bolin, 22-year-old daughter of the dead woman. She was emplos'ed in the building. "I never dreamed of her doing such a thing." said the grief-stricken hus band. "She had seemed a little better lately. Always she was nervous, but I did not think she would do such a hor rible thing." Move Made tor Ilealtb. "It was because of her poor health," he continued, "that we left our home In Brainerd, Minn., eight years ago, and came to Portland." "Mrs. Bolln's condition made her subject to temporary insanity," said Dr. Koehler. "On one or two occasions I have been afraid she might try to kill herself. Today when she came into the office she was very nervous." "She passed me, almost running, as she left Dr. Koehler's private office," said the doctor's stenographer. "I sup posed she had left something in the waiting-room and was going after it." "I absolutely couldn't hold her," said Martin Meier, who had tried to prevent the death leap. "I seized her arm. but she frantically tore herself loose and dropped." "The body was taken to Dunning & McKntee's undertaking rooms. Mrs. Bolin leaves five children living In Portland. Detectives Royle, Tichenor and Moloney made an investigation of the occurrence and later Deputy Coroner Dunning announced that no inquest would be held.

CREWS RUSH NEW ROAD PORTLAND, EUGENE AND EASTERN PUSHES LINE TO OSWEGO. Teams Busy Along; Route From Oreson City, While Track to Bolton Has Been Repaired Carefnlly. OREGON CITY, Or.. Aug. 7. (Spe cial.) Work on the Portland, Eugene & Eastern line between this city and Oswego has begun and 100 teams with 300 men are now employed on the right of way north of Bolton, two miles from here, on the west side of the river. At first the line will be used to bring logs from the lower river to the Ore gon City mills. The Portland, Eugene & Eastern now owns the old Willam ette Falls line from Bolton to Willam ette, a distance of four miles. This will become a part of the new road. The track of the Willamette Falls line was recently put into condition for heavy usage. New trolley wires and poles were installed and the track repaired. A switch to the river to shuttle log trains to the paper mills is now being built. It is said the ultimate plan of the Southern Pacific and the Portland, Eu gene & Eastern Is to construct a four track road south from Portland down the valley as the main line. Shops will be established at Bolton and the land has been bought and cleared for the buildings. C0MMISSI0NJS DUE SOON Hearing on Industrial Conditions Will Be Held Here. Word was received yesterday by A. D. Charlton, assistant general passen ger agent of the Northern Pacific, with headquarters in Portland, that the United States Commission of Indus trial Relations will arrive in Portland from Seattle at 6:45 P. M.. August 16, to hold a hearing here on industrial conditions. The nine members of the commission are: Frank P. Walsh, of Missouri, chairman: John R. Commons, of Wis consin; Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, of New York; Frederick A. Delano, of Illinois: Harris Weinstock. of Califor nia; S. Thurston Ballard, of Kentucky; John B. Lennon, of Illinois: James O'Connell, of the District of Columbia, and Austin B, Garretson, of Iowa, - SHIPPING PLAN SEEN Government Seeks Names of Marine 'Men Out of Work. FEDERAL LINE POSSIBLE Inquiry Taken to Indicate That Op eration of Merchant Vessels Is to Be Undertaken or Aid Given Private Owners. Evidence that the Federal Govern ment is to embark either in the owner ship of merchant vessels or facilitate their operation for others, reached this city yesterday in the form of a tele gram from E. F. Sweet, acting secre tary of the Department of Commerce, to Collector of Customs Burke, asking that all licensed officers knowing Atlantic and southern waters communi cate Immediately. , The telegram is as follows: "Notify the press in your district that the department wishes to learn as soon as possible number of officers licensed for ocean steamers now out of employment and available for service to Europe or Africa, South America and Australia. Wire not later than Satur day midnight your estimate for your district of such number under the heading masters, chief mates, second mates, third mates, chief engineers, first, second and third assistant engi neers. Ask the press to advise officers licensed for ocean service, especially with trans-Atlantic experience, to get in touch with you." Arrangements have been made by Collector Burke to have his force make a list of names, addresses, licenses of officers and whether deck or engine room papers are held, to forward to night. Should they be called on noti fication will be sent to their homes or places of business immediately on the receipt of instructions from Washing ton. No Information was forwarded as to the purpose of the list, but it is sur mised that one of the first steps of the Government will be to arrange for the transportation home of Americans abroad who are in the war zones. After that the transportation of certain com modities may be undertaken in vessels under the American flag because of the complete tieup now of British, Ger man, French and Russian vessels. While there are not many deepsea navigators and engineers out of em ployment here, it Is thought that some of those capable of filling the berths mentioned will file their names with the hope of getting near the scene of action and probably participate in part of the excitement a prolonged war may produce. OWNERS ARE HOLDING FLEET Britisli Government Has Advised Simply as to Risk in Sailing. Merchantmen flying the British flag have not been held in this or any other port on the Pacific Coast by order of the government of Great Britain or its agents, says Thomas Erskine, British Consul, but masters have been advised not to proceed to sea because of infor mation that German cruisers are off the coast. "It is to our interest to expedite the movement of vessels to the United Kingdom with cargoes from here, pro viding it was deemed safe, and we would like to see them on their way," said Mr. Erskine. "At the same time it has been regarded as Tlsky to an ex tent. As far as any instructions go the vessels are being held by their own ers." There was talk of the tramps Strath albyn and Strathendrick getting to sea yesterday, but nothing definite was made known here. The United States Government is insisting on a strict compliance with the neutrality law, and Custom-House inspectors are sat isfj'lng themselves that each cargo cleared Is made up of commodities set forth on the manifest and that no war materials are carried. A recent order demands that all Items be specified and that is expected to Increase vastly the work of dispatching vessels. The departure of the British steamer Hazel Dollar from San Francisco for Portland Thursday 'is pointed to as showing that no general order Is in force against the movement of British bottoms, and that sailings are gov erned solely by owners. GEO. W. ELDER BREAKS SHAFT Coaster to Be Laid' Up at Portland for Week Under Repairs. As a result of having broken her thrust shaft when two miles be low Rainier, bound to Portland from Eureka and Coos Bay, the steamer Geo. W. Elder, of the North Pacific Steamship Company's fleet, ar rived here in tow of the steamer Sarah Dixon last night. In advance of a com plete survey of the damage to be made today it was given out yesterday that the vessel would miss one voyage and probably sail a week from Sunday. The vessel reached the river early yesterday from the south and shortly before 8 o'clock left up. When the shaft broke she anchored and one of the mates pulled to Rainier In a small boat and reported the matter, asking that a towboat be sent to the steamer's assistance. The Shaver steamer Saraa Dixon was on the way upstream from the lower river and it was arranged to send a launch to intercept her so she could take the Elder in tow. The latter has been on the run several weeks after having been thoroughly overhauled and many improvements made. CONSULS ASKED TO HELP Collector Burke Points Out Easiest Way to Observe Neutrality. Acting on his own initiative. Collec tor of Customs Burke yesterday wrote to 15 Consuls here, representing dif ferent foreign countries, requesting that they co-operate with him in the enforcement of regulations telegraphed since the outbreak of the European war, the object of which are to pre serve the neutrality of the United States. In the main the rules deal with man ifests of vessels bound foreign, which must be a detailed statement of cargo carried. As Consuls have to do with vessels dispatched flying the flag of their country Collector Burke has asked that they impress on masters the urgent need of having all papers in order when presented at the Custom-House for clearance, also that In case of doubt Government agents are privileged to go aboard ships and per sonally inspect cargoes and search to ascertain if contraband shipments are being hidden. WASHINGTON IS PUT ON RUN Nev Service Between Portland and The Dalles Promised Daily. Captain F. B. Jones, of the Willam ette & Columbia River Towing Com pany, owner of the steamer State of Washington, which Is being over hauled, announced last night tjt the vessel would be started on the Port-iand-The Dalles route Tuesday night, leaving here at 11 o'clock. She leaves The Dalles the following morning on the down trip and will maintain that schedule. Since being brought here from Puget Sound the steamer has had oil burners installed and has been generally gone over. She has stateroom accommoda tions for a number of passengers and a large freight capacity, while she is classed among the speediest vessels on the river. ENGINEERS CLOSE SESSIONS Amendment to Bill for Registry of Foreign Vessels Is Urged. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) The annual convention of the Pacific Coast Marine Engineers' Beneficial As sociation concluded Its session here last night. Among the principal matters acted upon was the adoption of a resolution opposing the passage of a Congres sional act admitting foreign vessels to American register, provided those ves sels apply with native corps of engi neers on board, and insisting that the measure be amended to provide that American engineers must be employed. Another resolution admitted regular ly licensed gasoline engineers to mem bership in the association, while a third urged an amendment to the law gov erning motorboats to reduce the length limits of such craft from 60 reet to 4U feet.

I h iii mm ' j Take the DREDGE IS TIED UP Harbor Bill's Failure to Pass Makes Clatsop Quit. RIVER WORK IS TO CEASE Multnomah to Stop Next Week, No More Stone to Go to North Jetty and Other Projects Soon Are to Be Halted. Having completed a small amount of dredging at Harrington Point, for which place she left Tuesday, the United States Engineer Corps dredge Clatsop was returned to the Govern ment moorings yesterday and ordered tied up. The suction dredge Multno mah will be ordered out of commis sion next week. No more stone for the north Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia will be received after Mon day. The dredge Cowlitz, working on Lewis River, Is to be retired in two weeks and the dredge Mathloma, en gaged on the Upper Willamette, will go out of service in three weeks. The dredge Chinook, operating on the Co lumbia River bar, will be continued there until October IB. That is a brief report given out yesterday by Colonel McKinstry, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, In charge of work in the Second Oregon district, and means' that the end has been reached in funds available for important projects on which hang to a large extent the future development of the Columbia and Willamette wa terway to the sea. Enough money was set aside for the dredge Chinook to work through tho season because she gained such a tardy start, owing to having had additional dredging ma chinery installed. Failure of Bill Is Cause. AU other Improvement projects bear ing on channel betterments from Port land to the Pacific under Federal di rection, as well as those on the Upper Willamette, which are intended to keep open the river to Corvallls and on the Middle Columbia, in surmounting the wall at Celilo, where expensive locks and a canal are under way to permit steamers to navigate the Upper Co lumbia and Snake, are held up because of the failure of the rivers and har bors bill to be passed. On the north jetty only sufficient men will be retained on the payroll to look after the plant, make repairs on rock cars, locomotives and other ma chinery and be on hand in the event stormy weather causes damage along the trestle. Recently the delivery of rock there was cut from 4000 to 2000 tons a day, and after Monday not a pound is to be delivered by the Co lumbia Contract Company, which has a fleet of steamers and barges engaged in transporting the material. Clatsop's Action Surprise. The dredge Clatsop underwent re pairs here recently and It was thought she would be held in service at least until August 15, so her appearance at the Government moorings yesterday came as a surprise, except to those acquainted with the plan to tie the digger up. The dredgo Wahkiakum, sister of the Multnomah, has been out of service at the moorings several days and as soon as the Multnomah finishes a cut she is now engaged on her ma chinery will be shut down. It was hoped to keep the dredge Cowlitz going on Lewis River during the low water period, and the same ap plied to the Mathloma on the Upper Willamette, but the general lack of money makes It Impossible. Government oiucers refuse to com ment on the situation, though mari ners declare that to leave the north jetty In its present condition means a material loss of time and probably an interference with deeper water on the bar at an early date. Great Advance Hoped for. Weather there has I een of the best and such advances were made in the system of handling rock over that in vogue when the south jetty was under construction that all records have been broken for rapid delivery and it has been felt that more would be accom plished this year than during any sea son on the south jetty. The Celilo Canal force was reduced to a bare 25 men August 1, though it was estimated that six months' work with a full crew would see the big ditch completed. It had been the boast of those In charge that by the time the Panama Canal was officially ded with the narade of United States naval vessels the Celilo Canal also would be available for vessels. Now the setback is too serious to permit the programme to be carried out, even if funds were immediately made avail able. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAU, Aug. I. Ceo. W.

Conservation of Resource Urged After Visit to EbiI, Where They Are Drained, He Says. Unless a financial stringency should develop, which at present seems un likely, the war in Europe should have the Immediate effect of bringing pros perous times to Oregon by increasing the demand for Oregon products, de clared Governor Oswald West yester day, in Portland for the first time since the conclusion of his lecture tour in the East The Governor discerned no cause for alarm in this state over the disastrous war on the Continent and was optimis tic over the future. Oregon may learn a valuable lesson In conservation from the Middle West and East, which, drained of their re sources by capital in othor states and with natural means already developed to their utmost, are going backward rather than forward, said the Gover nor. "We in the West are prone to think that everything good must originate east of here, and must come to us from beyond the Rockies," he asserted. "My eyes were opened during my recent trip and I have come back with new convictions and with new admiration for the Far West. With prodigal reck lessness, the East has thrown away Its great natural resources and now it Is beginning to pay the penalty. "Great oil fields have been tapped In Middle Western states worth million. But the oil has been appropriated and the profits taken by magnates further East. Is this to the credit of the states? Great mines have brought fortunes to their owners, but the owners are sel dom residents of the states where they have their property. I witnessed one of the strikes. Rather than fight, the magnates had closed down the mines, leaving thousands out of work and de vastating the small city which was de pending on the mines for support. Is this prosperity? "I visited many state Institutions, with the hope of getting new ideas for propagation here. But throughout Ohio, Illinois and other states I vis ited I found. In the main, that the In stitutions were Inferior to ours. Many of them were situated in the heart of a city, with no grounds, thought so essential here. In tho majority of cases superintendents were not chosen as they are here politics Interfered to a great degree with good manage ment. "But the great lesson for the West to learn snd I believe she Is learning It Is conservation of resources, for the future depends upon what the pres ent leaves. Let us hope It 1s an In telligent present in the West." Linn Joins Distributors. ALBANY. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) Linn County fruitgrowers will affiliate with the Western Oregon Fruit Dls- JL.
