: Time at St. Johns.
OPPOSITION QUITS HALL
Declaration Made That Interruption
Is Largely Caused by Officials
" Who Would Lose JobsElec
tion Will Be Tomorrow.
Ths bitter staite which has been
reached In the merger campaign at
et. Johns was Illustrated Saturday night
"at the pro-merger meeting at the high
school by the disturbances of the oppo
eltion.
The lights were turned out during
the course of the gathering and at one
time a number of those opposed to
merging with the city of Portland got
up and walked outscraping their feet
through the hall and stamping aown
the stairways and making so much
noise that progress of the meeting had
to be suspended for a time.
D. C Lewis, who waa acting in the
caDacitv of chairman, announced to
those present that the crowd which
had thus disturbed the gathering con
tained a number of the city officials
of St. Johns who would lose their Jobs
if the people voted to merge with Port
land. The election is tomorrow
C. P. Olson Indorses Merger.
Conrad P. Olson, of Portland, one of
the principal speakers of te evening,
urged the people that they vote for
merging with Portland
'We in Portland want you and . I
think it will be of advantage to you
to become a part of our municipality."
he said. 1
He enumerated numbers of tlje bene
fits to be derived by St. Johns in merg
ing with Portland. Among these he
mentioned the efficient Portland fire
department, the school system, the pro
tection of the Portland police, and par
ticularly the Bull Rurt water. He
pointed out that St. Johns was so close
to Portland that it could not preserve
Its Individuality anyway even though
It did not become a part of Portland.
Portland Welcome Assured.
C. C, Chapman offered the welcome
of the city of Portland In case the
voters of St Johns decided to become
a part of the Oregon metropolis. He
showed how it might be a good thing
for St- Johns from the Investors' stand
point if the plan to merge carried. He
particularly emphasized the fact that
the new Chamber of Commerce of the
city of Portland could not do any Bpe-
rial work for the promotion of St.
Johns unless It became a part of Port'
land. He mentioned the Bull Run
water which the St, Johns residents
would get by merging and In closing
he said:
"I welcome you. Come on In If you
want to; the water'i fine. If you vote
against the plan to merge we will con
sole ourselves with the fact that it
will only be a matter of time until
Portland will Join St. Johns or St.
Johns Portland."
Victory for Merger Predicted.
Dr. William DeVeny predicted that
the people in favor of merging would
win at the polls Monday.
"I want to see the people vote for
their own interests and when they do
I know that they will vote for the
merger." he said.
Marshall Dana, of Portland, and R.
Graden. a member of the City Council
of St. Johns, spoke a few words favor
ing consolidating.
At the close of the meeting D. C.
Lewis announced that the Commission
er of Docks, of Portland, had promised
him that In case the City of St. Johns
roted to become a part of Portland
the city would expend at least 1750,
009 in improving the docks and water
front of St. Johns.
There were about 600 voters at the
gathering and a great deal of enthus
iasm was displayed.
Ing a warrant for the arrest of the
other.
Mr. MacKellar was accused of saying
harsh words that led to the trouble and
Mr. Kiernan was accused of being the
fistic aggressor. Mr. Stadter ruled
that he could issue a complaint against
conduct and against the other for
sault and battery, but -this did not
please either and they decidedV allow
the matter to drop.
The talk, according to what the men
told the attorney, began with a remark
about tfte pleasant rains and proceeded
into a discussion of hard times.
' "It's because the bankers charge 500
per cent for their money." Mr. MacKel
lar is said to have remarked.
"You can't prove that to me," Mr.
Kiernan is related to have replied.
Hot words followed and when Mr.
MacKellar. according to the allegations.
told Mr. Kiernan that 'he should go to
night school, Mr. Kiernan struck him.

a streetcar at Third and Washington
streets.

WASHINGTON. April 4 Both Secre
tary Daniels and Kear-Admlral Brand-
ley A. Fiske. aide for operations, de
clined to discuss Saturday the latter'a
request to be relieved of duty as senior
military adviser In the Navy Depart
The Secretary aaid he had not deter'.
mined what assignment he would give
to Admiral Flske. nor had he named
the chief of Naval operations, a noal
tion recently created by Congress.
Mr. Daniels discussed today with Ad
miral Dewey, chairman of the general
board of the Navy, regulations which
has under consideration in connec
tion with the new position. Later, he
said, he would seek the advice of Ad
miral Fletcher before reaching a de
cision. '
Naval Circles Interested.
The regulations were said to con
cern the scope of the work to be done
by the chief of Naval operations rather
than personnel.
In Naval circles, the request of Ad
miral Fiske to be relieved as aide for
operations was the chief topic of In
terest. The fact that the Admiral had
differed from the views of Secretary
Daniels In the recent hearings before
Congress on the preparedness of .the
American Navy for war was generally
ascribed as the reason for his voluntary
withdrawal. His written communica
tion to the Secretary gave no reason
for his request.
Assignment Not Determined.
Admiral Fiske's place will not be
filled, as Secretary Daniels intends to
appoint the new chief of Naval- opera
tions within the present month. Just
where Admiral Fiske will be assigned
is undetermlnsd. He has had long ex
perience In the Navy, having com
mended several divisions of the fleet,
and was commended for "heroic con
duct" by Admiral Dewey in his report
of the battle of Manila Bay.
It was declared likely in Naval quar
ters that he might take command of
the Asiatic fleet if Admiral Cowles is
brought to Washington for duty In the
Navy Department prior to his retire
ment in July, or he may relieve Rear-
Admiral Doyle, who is in command of
the reserve squadron at Bremerton,
Wash., and retires In May.
Griffin, head of the local Secret-Service.

mercnants and banks. In most in
stances it was reported that the coins
contained from 60 cents to a dollar less
gold than they should. One of the
complainants waa the Penn National
Bank. Seventh and Market streets,
which reported that two gold pieces
presented there were found to be short
60 cents each.
Another complainant was , Patrick
Conway, a saloonkeeper at Sixth and
South streets. When young Reizun ap
peared in the saloon and offered a $5
gold piece the bartender said he recog
nized mm as the person who had
passed a short-weight coin there some
weeks ago. Policeman Ryan, of the
Third District, arrested the man and
he was turned over to the secret serv

At the hearing James M. Stewart.

8 CENTS CAUSE OF SUIT
Man Put Off of Train Because He
Lacks Fare Asks $10,0-00.
ST. PAUL, Minn., March 28 The
fact that Robert Pauline, of Galesville,
Wis., did not have 8 cents with which
to pay the remainder of his railroad
fare while riding on a Chicago &
Northwestern passenger train between
Galesville and Rhodes, Wis., November
22, 1913, was the primary cause of the
$10,000 personal Injury suit which he
Instituted against the railroad com
pany. The case was heard in the Dis
trict Court a tew days ago and went
to the Jury at 4:30 P. M.
Pauline testified that he tried to buy
ticket at Galesville before boarding:
the train, but was told by the agent
that he had none for Rhodes. Pauline
had 10 cents and the regular fare is
8 cents. On the train the conductor
demanded an extra dime because Pau
line had no ticket.
On Pauline's inability to pay the bal
ance of 8 cents he was put off and in
jured, the plaintiff declared.
Officials or the company testified
that he was not refused a ticket at
Galesville and that the Wisconsin law
permits railroads to charge an extra
dime when passengers have no tickets.
The conductor and engineer of the
train refuted Pauline's testimony that
the train was i k motion when he was
put off.

MODERN CRUS0ES RESCUED
Skipper's Desire for Fruit Leads
Ship to Eitel Victims.
PANAMA, March 28. The Norwegian
ship Nordic has landed 25 Englishmen
and 18 Frenchmen here. They had been
taken off two barks which the Eitel
Frledrlch sank and had been left on
Easter Island for two months. They
were rescued rom this lonely island
in the South Pacific 2000 miles from
the nearest port because the skipper
of the Norwegian boat hungered after
fresh fruit.
The Norwegian ' skipper got this
hankering for fresh fruit while on a
long voyage from Australia to Pan
ama. Canned fruit only eased this
craving. He found one mornig that
he was within 100 miles of Easter
Island. Some hours later the island ap
peared on the horizon. The Nordic
stood, off shore that evening and the
skipper saw a crowd of men jumping
up and down upon the beach' and act
ing like circus clowns.
They were the crew of the British
bark Kildalton and the French bark
Jean. The Eitel Friedrich had picked
up the former December 9, and the lat
ter December 12, sinking them both a
couple of days later. Captain Brlron
and five of his men remained on the
island.

NEW ANTI-TOXIN REPORTED
Stimulation of Tissues and Quick
Healing I Feature. .
PARIS, March 28. What is described
as the greatest surgical discovery since
Lister's antiseptic is now at the service
of the French wounded. It is an anti
toxin discovered by the well-known bac
teriologists. Professors La Chaineheand
and Vallee, and it is likely to supplant
other antiseptics in preventing Infec
tion of wounds.
Antiseptics, though killing the dis
ease, also weaken and benumb the tis
sues, thus delaying cicatrization of the
wound, whereas the new serum called
"Polyvalent,", because it is effective
against all malignant germs, actually
stimulates the tissue surounding the
wound and promotes rapid healing.
