After having dealt successfully with gome of the most desperate criminals ever operating In this section of the country and having barely missed be ing struck by numerous bullets from the revolvers of crooks, Dave Fuller. Deputy United States Marshal, was last Thursday fatally pierced by an arrow from Cupid's bow. The confirmation of the news was yesterday received by United States Marshal Montag. Last Monday Mr. Fuller asked for his vacation. He was so Insistent that the Marshal became suspicious. A secret investigation by Marshal Mon tag revealed the fact that the deputy had married a sweetheart of boyhood days. Mrs. Mae Piper, in Stella, Wash. She resided In Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller are now enjoy ing their wedding trip at North Beach. CRACK SH0TS IN CAMP Murk-men at Kan so Blinded by Smoke of Fires In Woods. First Lieutenant G. C. Rockwell, of the Twenty-first United States Infantry, stationed at Vancouver Barracks, and Lieutenant H. L Taylor, of the same regiment, established camp yesterday at the Clackamas Rifle Range for their squad of 22 marksmen, which will rep resent the Third Division of the Army at the National divisional match open ing September 2. The rifle shots who make up the squad are the best marksmen in the Pacific Coast division of the Army, with the exception of some stationed on the Mexican border. There will be 12 members of the team and three alternates. Because of the dense smoke from forest fires, effective shooting could not be done at more than 300 yards. It is expected to have the Army team selected by August 22. HILL'S PLAN IS TARGET Removal of Liner Minnesota to At lantic Taken ,i- Angary. In line with views of many that James J. Hill is to select the Columbia River as his base of operations on the Pacific Slope and for a time devote all marine Hi in toward the success of the new steamers Great Northern and Northern Pacific on the Flavel-San Francisco route, comes a Seattle report -that the giant Pacific liner Minnesota is going to the Atlantic side soon. British interests are to operate her. it Is reported, but it has not been an nounced whether she will be sold or chartered. At present the Minnesota probably will reap a harvest on the Puget Sound-Oriental run, as all British and German liners have been laid up and she has the Held with the Japanese steamers. Japanese craft are going out loaded to capacity. A story Is going the rounds that the Hill lines may either arrange for the operation of smaller vessels to the Far East from the Columbia River or make a pact with one of the established fleets to handle cargo to and from Flavel; that transcontinental freight will not go via Puget Sound as in the past and, there being no occasion to take care of the Minnesota, all through shipments may be routed by way of the North Bank road. Full cargoes on the Minnesota have been rare, say mariners, and with the assumption that the opening of the Panama Canal will reduce vastly the amount of tonnage that has moved from the Atlantic side by rail when bound for porta across the Pacific, the prospect of keeping her full in the fu ture is not regarded alluring. Even with abundant water on the Columbia River bar. which is assured, the ques tion of operating the giant liner from Flavel is said to offer the same obsta cles as from the North, and It Is In sisted that smaller vessels could be handled more economically and advan tageously. red cross w m SECRETARY ISSUES APPEAL IN BE HALF OF MAYOR. Soelety Will Accept Fonda for Uae In Specific Places In War Zone or General Relief, la Statement. Following the receipt of information from the headquarters of the Red Cross Society in Washington, D. C. that funds are needed to relieve distress in the European war zones. W. H. War ren, private secretary to Mayor Albee. yesterday issued an appeal In behalf of Mayor Albee for assistance from Portland. "On behalf of the Mayor, who is ab sent from the city for a few days." reads Mr. Warren's appeal. "I desire to call the attention of the public to the appeal of the Red Cross for funds for use in relieving distress In the Eu ropean war zones. "The Mayor received an urgent ap peal from the headquarters of the Red Cross at Washington, D. C, last week. President Wilson, as head of that or ganization, again brings it to public attention by issuing a Nation-wide re quest for aid. Those who wish to send money should make all remittances payable to the American Red Cross Society, Washington, D. C, as there are no local officers. "The Red Cross Society will accept funds for use generally, or it will ac cept any funds directed for use in a specific place, so that donors who may have a preference are at libery so to state with the knowledge that their wishes will be strictly adhered to. This is the authorized statement of the headquarters ofThe organization." BODY TWICE IDENTIFIED Dead Man Named F. J. Kooney. but Had Alias, Officers Believe. Identification of the body found near the O.-W. R. & N. Co. tracks at Trout dale as that of F. J. Rooney has been made by a photograph of Rooney found in the North Bank yards and by telegraphic information received from Mike Reily, Rooney's uncle, at Pocatello, Idaho. It was thought the name of the dead man was George Olsommer, but it Is believed by the Sheriffs office that Rooney and Olsommer are the same. Deputy Sheriff Beckman saia he be lieved that Rooney worked under an alias about Portland and elsewhere. Whether Rooney killed, himself or was killed by another person is still a mystery.

ROSENTHAL LAUDS HOME TOWN, M'CLEARY Buyers' Week Visitor Tells Ad Club Members Advantages of Gray's Har bor City With Big Sawmill and Door Factory. ASTERN people seeking a good livelihood and a good home i should come to Oregon and Washington," said Mrs. A. Rosenthal, of McCleary, Wash., yesterday. Mrs. Rosenthal is here for Buyers' Week in the interest of her husband's store at McCleary. She is a consistent booster, not only for her own town, but the entire Coast. The Rosenthals were for merly of New York. At the Ad Club luncheon given for the buyers Wednesday Mrs. Rosenthal made a speech indicative of the beal with which she works for her city, a town of 1000 on Grays Harbor. She said: "As a speechmaker I am very poor, but when it comes to selling calicoes and ginghams and men's logger shoes, and for that matter, Sunday-go-to-meeting ones, too, I am there with the goods By 'there' I mean McCleary. Washington. No doubt, there are very few here that know where the town ot McCleary is located on Grays Har bor, eight miles from the town of Elma on the main line of the Pacific High way from Aberdeen to Seattle, pos sessing, by way of industry, the larg est and best equipped door factory in the world turning out and shipping 2000 completed doors a day. and those are 'some doors.' "Also we have one of the most modem electrically equipped shingle mills in the State of Washington, and a sawmill cutting lOO.OOOTfeet of lum ber a day. Factory and mills run con tinuously, keeping the men employed throughout the entire year, and a most contented and satisfied crew they are, to be sure. "In addition we lay claim to the finest hotel between Portland and Seat tle. Steam-heated, electric-lighted, telephonfc in every room and beauti fully furnished. But that is the least. I must make mention of the cul inary department, for. after all, the way to a man's heart is through his stom ach. That's what my husband says. Oh by the way, quite a few of you are smiling, so, no doubt, you have tasted some of the good food Hotel McCleary offered you. "A very important feature, and one that especially Interests wholesalers, is that the business portion of the SHIPPERS HOPE FOR PROTECTION ON SEA Covering of Atlantic Cargoes by British Believed to Fore cast Opening of Pacific. VIEWS ON NEW BILL DIFFER Chamber of Commerce Attitude to Merchant Marine Measure Ex plained and Handicap of Amer ican Ships Discussed. There was a more relieved aspect of the shipping situation yesterday, due to a feeling that with so many efforts being centerea on a solution of the export trade stagnation some assist ance would be forthcoming soon, either in the way of war risks being quoted or other protection afforded. The fact that British war vessels, which have been off the Coast, reached Victoria in safety and it was known the German cruisers are off the California coast, prompted owners of the British steam er River Forth to order her to leave here for Puget Sound. The fact that the British government has positively covered certain cargoes from the Atlantic with war risks, where, it is pointed out by shippers, there is more danger of vessels being captured than on the Pacific side, is taken as an indication that steps will be taken to cover shipments from this coast in a short time. No actual quo tations were received yesterday, though they are expected hourly. Hope in .Merchant Marine. Exporters of cereals and lumber, shippers handling various other com modities and the trade generally, ap pear to have placed great dependence on the Congressional amendment under which it is hoped to build up the American merchant marine through bringing tonnage under other flags, owned by American capital, to the Stars and Stripes. The number of ships that might adopt the American colors at first is estimated at from 60 to 70 and possibly 100. so an early passage of the amendment might yet provide a means of moving exports. Collector of Customs Burke, in speak ing of the situation yesterday, said: "I think the necessity of doing some thing is most apparent. The United States should take active steps to sup ply vessels to replace those taken out of service because of the war. other wise our exports will be reduced to a mere nothing. This situation shows that we are almost entirely dependent on roreign tonnage in mo eipun of our country." Some Oppose Pendlns Measure. Shippers and mariners are not united on the benefits to be derived from en larging the merchant marine with foreign-built ships owned in this country. Such inducements as, are proposed by Congress, It is said, are only about half enough, in that the vessels must carry American crews at American wages and overhead charges will be increased over those enjoyed under flags of Great Britain, Germany, Nor way, Sweden, France and countries that have immense representation on the seas. In short, it is contended that the amendment under consideration will not reach more than half way toward placing American ships on a parity with foreign fleets. To draw them under American protection now, It Is argued, is all right as a temporary ex pedient that might work to the ad vantage of shippers and owners alike, but with the war over, they say these carriers cannot compete with Euro pean merchantmen operating at less expense. Chamber's Stand Explained. A- H. Averill. president of the Cham ber of Comanerce, outlined yesterday what steps had been taken by that or ganization. He said: "In a general way, the Chamber of Commerce has stood for whatever pos sible increase might be made in the shipping of the American Nation and whatever improved condition might be attained in handling American imports and exports. "When the first agitation from Washington was reported, relating to making immediate provision for re sumption of our export trade, members of the chamber expressed approval of whatever plan President Wilson and Congress might evolve, which offered immediate increased carrying capacity. Mrs A. Rosenthal, Who Extols Town of Mcl'ieary, w nn ai 4 Ad Club Luncheon. . town, being built of frame construc tion, Is entirely protected by a com plete automatic fire extinguisher sys tem. Water is supplied by fire pumps and reservoir at a pressure of 80 pounds. "The lands around McCleary are very productive. Cattle raising. small fruits and vegetation thrive, of which here Is a sample of my own garden. "T want to thank the Portland Com mercial Club and its co-workers for the courtesy extended to me and the making of this occasion possible. It has been Indeed a great pleasure to meet you in this way, and I wish to assure you it will be a lasting, happy remembrance." t i Some members were apprehensive o Vin, tnn a nrnff ra m TTtfl that might lead to serious complications with belligerents. "San Francisco's commercial inter ests appealed to the Portland chamber to Join In an appeal to Congress and the President for adoption of a measure Immediately permitting ves sels now owned by American In dividuals or companies, but flying a foreign flag, to take American reglstry under conditions that would prove an inducement to the owners. This move ment was started for quick relief, and to prevent any opposition provision was made in the appeal that vessels so enticed to American registry should not engage in coastwise or inter-coastal View Accepted. "Lumber manufacturers of the re gion appeared before the chamber the next few days and urged that the body send to Congress an appeal of a broader nature than that requested by San Francisco. Lumbermen asked that the recommendation provide that ves sels so enticed to American registry should be permitted to engage in 'inter-coastal' trade. The chamber agreed to the amendments proposed and sent another telegram to the member of the Oregon delegation accordingly' In the same connection F. H. Ran som, manager of the Eastern & West ern Lumber Company, said: "While we do not charter vessels loaded at our mill, we have telegraphed Washington asking that vessels owned by citizens of the United States and now under foreign flags be admitted to American registry and have coast-to-coast privileges, as well as to ply off shore. Such regulations would enable us to move lumber that now congests mill docks. At present we cannot dis patch export cargoes without war ln- onH Bnme Dlants may have to close down soon, as it does not pay to cut orders for foreign account ........., not move for an indefinite period. Need of Marine Expressed. On the general situation of gather ing'forelgn tonnage to swell the Amer ican merchant marine. E. W. Wright, manager of the Merchants' Exchange, """The necessity for a first-class Amer i .,...,iont marina was never more plainly apparent than at the present time, when tne war u ' bargo on shipping needed to move our crops.

SALES MUST BE SCRUTINIZED Collectors Ordered to Safeguard Neutrality In Granting Registers. Believing that there are changes of flags pending in that foreign vessels will be given American registers, r. Chamberlain, Commissioner of Naviga tion, has telegraphed the following to Collector of Customs Burke, a copy of which has been forwarded to other collectors: In addition to care usually exercised to secure compliance with section 4189 of the revised statutes, collectors are reminded that during war It is especially the duty of a collector to use all available means to satisfy himself that the sale of a vessel is made in good faith and without fraudulent Stent Lies of vessel, by belligerents in time of war justify strict Inquiry on the part of a belligerent and accordingly call for exceptionally diligent Inquiry bv collec tors of customs to whom, under the Pan ama Canal act. applications for register, of vessels in accord with .uch Bates may be made Sale mu.t be unconditional and compete Bona fides of purchase mu.t be tb ished by vendee, especially any reser vaMon to vendor of right repurcha., v -el will be sufficient cau.e to authorize re fusal to I."" register.

ALBINA DOCK TO BE LEASED Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Plan to Oc cupy O.-W. R. & N. Property. Balfour Guthrie & Co. practically have closed negotiations with the O -W R & N. for a lease on most of Al bina dock, which is to be used for the storage and cleaning of grain for ex port The step was made necessary because of the loss of Oceanic dock. July 5, by fire, as that was used ex clusively by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. for handling grain. The company also has the Crown flour mill, on the West Side, to which considerable wheat is shipped from the interior. It is understood that the O.-W. R. & N interests will reserve a section of the south end of Alblna dock on which to care for rail shipments, as a mov able slip or ramp is in operation there to facilitate handling freight to and from river steamers on the Portland Astoria run. Much of the cargo origi nating at rail points and destined to such places will be moved across Ains worth dock. SHEATHING FRONTS OP DOCKS Low Water Permits Property Own ers to Comply with Ordinance. Taking advantage of low water and at the same time complying with re quirements of the waterfront building ordinance of the Commission of Pub lic Docks several dock owners are engaged i'n sheating the front of the docks from the line of the lower or main level to the water. One purpose of the sheating is to keep drift from accumulating beneath docks, which during freshet periods tends to collect against piling and the pressure weak ens the foundation, and it is held that the fire hazard is greater. At the Crown flour mill the entire front is being sheathed with heavy material and the north firewall at the elevator dock has been rebuilt. A new dock on the Smith property, at the foot of Market street, has been fully sheathed, and while it is provided that new structures shall be so built, the Commission has ruled that all old docks shall be sheathed when river conditions permit.
