All the -8 members of the crew, with the ex ception of one man. a fireman, who died from exposure, were saved, members of the crew said, the others beingr picked VP by another patrol boat. According to John Morgan, an oiler n the Evelyn, the vessel struck the mine five mlnues after 4 o'clock in the morning. The Evelyn, at that time, was 17 miles off the coast of Germany and was proceeding cautiously to avoid Just such an accident Explosion Shakes Steamship. The mine exploded on the port side f the vessel, shaking the steamship from stem to stern. As soon as the explosion occurred Captain David Smith, ordered the en- arines reversed and sent officers ana men through the ship, awakening the crews. Two lifeboats were swung irom the davits and in them the entire crew desperately rowed away - from the wtricken ship. Before the two boats had cone many yards there was another explosion. A second mine had hit the ship on the starboard side forward, blowing" up the forward part of the vessel and almost cutting her in two. The 2s members of the crew re mained near the sunken vessel. At first it was thought the ship would go ilown at once, but after sinking until the upper deck was submerged, the Evelyn hung in that position for seven hours, finally going down, bow first. One Succumbs to Hardships. Morgan and his companions remained in the lifeboats for 36 hours, when they were picked up by two German patrol boats. The cold was intense and, owing to the hardships, the fireman suc cumbed. Morgan, together with Charles Kol bernik, an oiler from Bridgetown, N. J.; John Spencer, chief-steward; Alex ander lones and John Williams, his as sociates in lifeboat No. 1, were taken to Wilhelmshaven, while the survivors In the second lifeboat were taken to Heligoland.

The sailors on the patrol craft gave up their bunks to the Americans and shared delicacies with them, the Evelyn's men said.

The action was taken after the Directors had gone into executive ses aioru it was expected that a vote on the election of a Superintendent would be taken yesterday, but two members of the Board asked It to postpone action.

He has the unanimous in dorsement of the many Parent-Teacher associations that have gone on reootd and of numerous other bodies that are deeply Interested in the welfare of the schools. navigated the straits up to the corner where the Asiatic coast juts out at Nagara. The correspondent adds: Through some miscalculation, which is quite natural when a submarine is trying to thread a tortuous channel without the aid of a periscope, the hull struck the rocky shore, compell ing the boat to 'rise to the surface. Im mediately the submarine ,appeared, the forts opened fire, sinking her. Only a few of her ere w . escaped, and these were made prisoners. "Regarding the present situation in the Dardanelles, Rear-Admiral Gue pratte said the waters of the straits were clear as far as Kephez Bernu, to which point all vessels of the .fleet can - safely navigate. The main mine fields, however, are between Chanak Kaleszi and Kilid Bahr, where also are the main coast defenses. "When these are removed, the rest will be easy, although the assistance of WARF land forces will be needed. For the! HnHLlJ final success of the undertaking not shadow of doubt remains. The French fleet thus far has sustained no cas ualties."

If th County Commissioners were here, we might settle It. We will all do everything that we can to reach common ground that will be accept able to both sides," It was decided that the road bond issue committee members present should use their best efforts to meet, so far as possible, the views expressed at . last night's meeting In regard to wages for common labor on the work and the prevailing prices for mechanics. This will be reported officially at to night's session of the Labor Council as the action of the conference of last night.

CAUSE .DISPUTE PARADE PLAN OUTLINED EAST SIDE MERCHANTS ASKED TO AID CHILDREN'S PAGEANT. - 31. Plummer Tells of Preparations for Rose Festival and Mass Meeting; Call Is Voted. O. XI. Plummer, who has been placed In charge of the children's parade, which will be held on Grand avenue during- the Rose Festival, outlined to the East Side Business Jlen's Club Thurs day night the tentative plans for the parade and asked for the co-operation of the club in making the parade the greatest ever held. After full discus sion it was decided to call a mass meeting. for next Thursday night at the East Portland Branch Library, East Eleventh and East Alder streets, to lay before East Portland citizens plans to increase interest in the chit fdren'a parade with a view of securing more money to llnance the display that can be provided. AH members of the Parent-Teacher Associations of the East Side and especially business men will be urged to attend this meet ing. One proposition suggested by Mr. Plummer to increase the appropriation for the parade was tor ;ast Portland business firms to give -3 per cent of their gross receipts for 60 days, pro vided the residents or the East Side will trade at these places. Mr. Plum mer expressed the opinion that from 1500 to $2500 could be realized in this way without any hardshio to any one. The business men who give 3 per rent would beneht and the parade will b made better. Mr. Plummer said that 1250 had been assigned to finance the children's parade, 25- cents for each of the 4000 children who are to take part, but that more money was needed for decorations and for costumes for the children. "I am sure the Parent-Teacher Clubs will help," said Mr. Plummer, "and they - are a power for good in this ity. They will get behind the mer hants who will give the 3 per cent to make the parade bigger and better than it has been in the past. It has been one feature that has gained world-wide notice." ; H. A. Calef and other prominent business men expressed approval of the proposition, and the matter will be set forth fully at the mass meeting. The club appointed a committee to co operate in making the meeting a suc cess. Members of the Rose Festival Association will attend. Lantern slides of past parades will be shown and a full outline ot what is proposed for this year will be announced. BRITISH LOSS IS HEAVY FIGHTING IN FLANDERS 11 AS COST ENORMOUSLY IX LIVES. JITNEY DRIVER RELEASED ticorge Poole, Arrested After Col lision, Has Hearing. George Poole, jitney driver, who was arrested Jor feckless driving Wednes day after "a collision with a jitney driven by K. U. Banks, was released after a hearing yesterday in the Munici pal Court. Mrs. M. M. Stout, of Mc Minnville, one of the passengers who was injured, appeared in court to tes tify with her head bandaged. Testimony showed that Poole had the right of way. Poole testified that he was not coin? faster than 15 miles an hour. R. O. Banks, driver of the other car, who was also arrested, will be tried Saturday. Of ltoo Grenadiers Only 300 Survive. Cameroaians Are 'Wiped Oat High landers Are Also Decimated. LONDON, March 19. Evidence is ac cumulating of the heavy British losses in the recent fighting in Flanders, Lord Claude Hamilton, addressing a meeting in London last night, said that the pa pers were not giving full lists of the losses. His own regiment, the Grena dier Guards, he declared, lost their Colonel and 16 officers killed and wounded and of 1100 men. the finest in the army, only S00 survived. The Cameronians also seemed to have been almost totally wiped out. Their lists of killed and wounded were ap palling, i . The system or concealment on tne part of the military authorities, he as serted, was most ridiculous, and he was afraid it would have the effect of pro longing the war. Owing to the anxiety felt in Scotland regarding the Sixth battalion of Gordon Highlanders, John IS. Sutherland:, mem ber of Parliament, made inquiries of the government, whereupon the under-sec retary of the War Department replied that he greatly regretted to say that Colonel McLean.and four other officers had been killed and several wounded. A dispatch to the Times gives a list of 25 British officers killed, whose names had not appeared in the official lists, making a total of 338 officers killed or wounded in tho recent fight Ing. Advocates of JTotes Promise Best Efforts to Revise Scale Paid on Highways and to Meet Ob jections Raised by Unions. RAILWAYS LOSE HONEY J. J.' HILL SAYS ROADS ARE IN LAST DITCH. Abnormal Money Rates, Lower Prices 'and Stringency Are Forecast of Railroad Builder. ST. PAUL, March 19. Railroads of this country have been driven "to the last ditch and, are no longer able to compete with each other or anyone else." James J. Hill, railroad-builder, told the railroads committees of the That a better understanding might be reached in regard to the proposed issue of bonds for paving the Columbia River Highway, members of the bond issue committee met with the execu tive board of the Central Labor Coun cil Thursday night. A heart-to-heart talk that became heated at times was Mlnnegota House and Senate late today held, difference arising over wages now being paid by Multnomah County's road department- Threats were made that union labor would wage a fight on the bond issue unless assurances were given that the policy of Roadmaster John B. Yeon be changed. After prolonged discussion the labor representatives agreed to re- at a joint hearing on the bill before the Legislature to increase the railroad passenger rate in this state Irom cents a mile to cents. W. A. Gardner, of Chicago, president of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail road, and Edmund Pennington. Minne apolis, president of the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Satllt Ste. Marie Railroad, also appeared before the committees, quot port to the Central Labor Council at its ing statistics to substantiate Mr. Hill's contention that a speedy exnaustion or the railroad properties of the country, unless passenger rates are increased, is but a logical step. Even more stringent conditions will follow the conclusion of the present European war, Mr. Hill predicted. Next year, he believed, would see a fait in prices of all farm products, with wheat down to 70 cents a bushel. Abnormal interest' rates of money after the Eu ropean struggle ends also were forecast by the St. Paul financier, who said "the war will be brought to a speedy close because of the physical and material exhaustion that will ensue and is ensuing." It costs more money per train mile to operate passenger trains than the railroads receive for it," Mr. Hill said, in urging the necessity for increased revenue from passenger traffic.

Charges Against Wages Made. Chairman Hannan said the County Commissioners and Roadmaster Yeon had reduced wages, taking advantage of much unemployment. He said he be lieved Mr. Yeon was honest in it when he said he did not think he would be doing right if ho paid more for bridge men. for example, than a day when thev could be obtained for that figure, although the union scale is . Less than J3.50 had been paid, it was said. It was then decided, said the chair man, that the Labor Council would op pose any bond issue that Mr. Yeon fa vored. It was said that a white man was a rarity on the Columbia Highway work, by that phrase being meant an American, most of the workmen being foreigners. This wag denied by Mr. Yeon.

Ledwidge, "and I know it, for when his build ing was erected, he gave directions that it should be a union Job through, out. which it was. We have always been grateful to him for it and this shows that this is not a personal mat ter, whatever. There are people here now, members of our unions, who cannot pay their taxes. They could have done so if they had had work that should have gone to them at fair wage. We want good roads, but if road work is going to bring our labor conditions down, it will mean confiscation of our property." Gene E. Smith, president of the Cen tral Labor Council, argued that 3 a day should be the wage for common labor, taking the city's schedule as a basis. Mr. leon saia ne naa paia (2.25 a day on the Columbia Highway, while the contractors paid $2. During tho Winter, he said, contractors paid less for labor, -but he held to his orig inal schedule. Better Conditions Wanted. It would not be so bad," said Mr. Smith, "to reduce wages in dull times if they were raised again when times get good, but they are not. Tne cen tral Labor Council will, undoubtedly, be opposed to this bond issue, whether we win or lose, unless Mr. Yeon gives assurances of a changed labor policy. We do not favor the construction of the Columbia Highway or any other highways unless they are built under decent labor conditions. we are our infancy in road building in this section of the country and unless we attend to this wage question now, God help us. The specifications lor road work contain numerous paragraphs in regard to materials, etc, but they have nothing touching wages. A. w. Jones said that unless assur ances were given of a changed attitude by the county authorities he favored going before th. Central Labor Council tonight and fighting the bond Issue down the line. "If the working men have to pay for the highway with pick and shovel," he said, "we don't want it." Common Ground Seems Nearer. The two opposing camps got closer together after considerable heated dis cussion following Mr. Jones' remarks. Julius Meier said he appreciated the point of view of the labor delegates. but they were not in a position to grant concessions, which must come from the County Commissioners. 0n joUllos, dollars; is solng to i.

Industry and Temperance Are Only Essentials of Success. Dr. Russell H. Conwell delivered his lecture on optimism, entitled "Acres of Diamonds," at the White Temple Bap tist Church Thursday night, for the 5102d time. "Acres of diamonds are to be found in Portland. There are hundreds of young men who say, I wish that I had been here years ago, when there was a chance to make money,' " commenced the lecturer, who, though 74 years old, is rugged in appearance and has an abundance of jet black hair. The title of the lecture was taken from the story of the Golconda dia mond mines, from which the Kohh-I-Noor and other diamonds were taken after the owner had sold his farm to go elsewhere to find diamonds and finally committed suicide in poverty. "Any young man in Portland may be wealthy in 20 years, if he is industrious, temperate and economical," continued the speaker. "The greatest simpleton In the world is the man who throws up one job when he hasn't another in view. I am glad to bring this message to the poor that the time has not passed when a man without capital can get rich in Portland. If he can't get rich here, he can't get rich anywhere. "Ninety-eight per cent of the million aires in the United States are honest Men who own their own homes are the best citizens. It is not' necessary to be poor or dirty to be a Christian. Money is essential to do good with. "The desire to become wealthy and independent makes a man careful of his living and develops good habits. Love alone is greater than money, but you must have enough money to support a home. Charity is generally misplaced and we prolong the war in Europe by sending supplies." Frail Creature.
