13 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1915. CAPTAIN H1LLETELLS False Name Gets Passage for German, Says Skipper. JAPANESE BELIEVE TALE Christian Bors' Master Reports Court Freed When It Learned Minister Was Innocently Taken as Agent of Line. That he met V. V. Hintze, .German Minister to China, only two days before the Norwegian steamer Christian Bors left Everett, Wash., in December, and was introduced to him as W. "Rogers, alleged to be an agent of the Hamburg American line, and that he knew noth ing of the man's true name or connec tion with the German government until two days after the arrival of his vessel at Shanghai, is asserted by Captain Hille. of the Christian Bors, who ar rived here on the Shasta Limited yes terday from San Francisco. The steamer had preceded him and reached here Sat urday. 1 Captain Hille says that he has stead fastly refused to make a statement concerning the details of the trip to Shanghai and subsequent seizure of the vessel by the Japanese, and that nu merous misstatements have been made in connection with the case. The vessel was libeled after reaching San Fran cisco on claims growing out of alleged cargo damage due to her detention by the Japanese, and she was released on bonds in the sum of $40,000 so that she might proceed here to load wheat for Kngland under recharter to M. H. Houser. Identity Discovered Late, Speaking of the case yesterday Cap tain Hille said: "While the ship was being loaded at Everett in December, with cargo fur ' nished by the Robert Dollar Company. I was asked by a representative of that firm to carry a passenger to Shanghai. 1 told him that the vessel was not in the passenger trade, and the only way one could go on the trip was as super cargo in their behalf. I was unwilling to take the man, but later received a telegram from a friend who appeared to be interested, so I consented. Mr. von Hintze was introduced to me as W. Rogers, and as an agent of the Hamburg-American line, it being said that he was bound for Shanghai on business connected with that company, "It was two days after we arrived at Shanghai that I saw in a newspaper that the German Minister, mentioning his name, had reached there on the eteamer on his way to Pekin, and that was the first time I learned of his identity, his position or mission. Vessel Held at Kobe. "On the way out he was ill about nine-tenths of the time, and I don't think some of the ship ever saw the man, for he was seldom out of his room. "It has been reported that the Chris tian Bors was 200 miles off the coast of Japan when she was seized by a Japanese naval vessel. That is not true. We had loaded Chinese merchan dise and other cargo at Shanghai and proceeded to Karatsu for coal, then con tinued to Kobe to load more cargo. It was at Kobe that the ship was seized, and she was under guard for 21 days. I proved before the Japanese court that 1 was innocent in the matter of trans porting Mr. von Hintze, also that no blame was to be attached to the ship. It was thought we might have contra band cargo as well, at least bo it was aid, so the ship was searched and nothing was found of the kind." Armed Gurda Reported Aboard. Regarding the time the vessel was under seizure Captain Hille made no statement other than that those aboard were virtually prisoners, armed guards being aboard at all times. On being released the ship made her way to San Pedro and San Francisco, discharging all cargo. At the latter port she took on a small shipment of machinery for Christiania. The vessel began working at Irving dock yesterday with four crews of longshoremen, and It is hoped to have 7000 tons of wheat aboard by Thursday. The steamer has been here several times, and Captain Hille is one of the best-known skippers in the for eign fleet that has traded along the Coast during the past few years. He says that while bound home, he expects to be returned to the Pacific trade. XrrvrnEiii's voyage fast IVorwcgian Sails to Algoa Bay In Two Days of Record. Making the voyage from the Colum bia River to Algoa Bay in 83 days. Just two days more than the record run made by the British bark Crown of India In 1912, is the latest performance of the Norwegian bark Lindfleld, which arrived there Thursday with a grain cargo. The Norwegian ship Morosa, from Portland, reached Dublin April 16, be ing on the way there 166 days, which is not a much longer passage than that of 162 days from San Francisco to Ipswich, made by the French bark Duquesne, though the latter first reached Plymouth April 4. the same day that the Morosa reported at Cork. The French bark Desaix arrived at Bristol Saturday, having been 162 days on the way there, though she reported at Cork April 4. The Norwegian bark Urania reached Cork that day, it being a neck-and-neck race between that vesesl and the Desatx, both having left the river November 6. The Morosa got away from the river November 12 and the Queen Elizabeth three days ltUer. the two reporting at Cork In company' and the Russian ship Thomasina was with them, though she did not get started until November 21.' AKTJTAY liKAVES THURSDAY Captain Olscn Plans to Overhaul Ships and Be First at Nushagak. Captain Bernt Olsen, master of the tug Akutan. which is an important adjunct to the Nushagak salmon fleet every season, says he plans on getting away from the harbor Thursday on his way toward Bristol Bay. The skipper has been ill recently, but fought off an attack of pneumonia and says he is in the best of health for another season in the North. The Berlin, of the same fleet, was reported 450 miles away from the Co lumbia River Sunday night and the Levi G. Burgess sailed from the river Sunday, but Captain Olsen says he will be the first to reach the Nushagak region. He will have a crew and can nery hands numbering about 30 on his vessel, besides supplies and gear, and expects to make the run in nine to 10 days. The vessels remain away until Fall and then bring to the river the entire pack of the Portland-owned plants. I'XDIA'E'S TANKS INCREASED Vessel Selected for Lewiston Trip Receives Final ToticJies. Two additional fuel oil tanks, with a combined capacity of 44 barrels, are being added to the equipment of the steamer Undine at Supple's yard, where she went yesterday, so that she will have a total tank space for 110 barrels. In addition the engine beds are being renewed, the engines "lined up" and other preparations made for her com ing trip to Lewiston as the flagship of the big Celilo Canal celebration. She will carry the Chamber of Com merce party. The steamer Georgiana. chartered by the Astoria contingent, is being over hauled and is to be lifted on the Ore gon drydock Saturday to have a new propeller fitted. The Lurline, which replaced the Undine on the Astoria route, is in the best condition she has been for years, and 'when work is finished on the others all of the pas senger vessels .of the line will have been overhauled for the 1915 period. OXAKCH EXDS HER CAREER Sunken- Sternivheeler Breaks Up and Only Machinery Remains. During salvage operations on the steamer Monarch Friday, which sank a week ago today at San Pablo Bay, near Selby. Cal it is said her entire superstructure was carried away and was strewn over the Mare Island flats. All that can be saved is her machinery, according to reports reaching Portland. The vessel was originally the Chaa. R. "Spencer and was owned by Captain E. W. Spencer, of this city. She was taken over by the Monarch Lumber Company and renamed the Monarch, but later was turned back to Captain Spencer, who sold her to San Francisco interests. On being taken there she was operated by the Sacramento-Stockton Transportation Company. Captain Spencer said yesterday that he had no further interest in the vessel. When she struck and sank about three feet of her smokestack was visible, and it was said that there would be no trouble experienced in raising her, but evidently it was a more serious task than had been estimated. CHINOOK STARTED FOR WORfc Expectation Is to Attain Depth of 36 Feet in Channel. ASTORIA. Or., April IS. (Special.) To begin the season's operations on the bar, the dredge Chinook left for the mouth of the river today, and, barring accidents, the craft will be kept at work until late next Fall.

The barkentine James Tuft sailed this afternoon for Australia with a cargo of lumber from Knappton. The second mate of the barkentine quit this morn ing, giving as his reason that the ship's carpenter snored so loud he was unable to sleep. A new mate was secured to day and the vessel's sailing was not delayed. As she was crossing out over the bar on Saturday night, the tank steamer' J. A. Chanslor broke one of the con nections of her main steam pipes. She was compelled to anchor for four hours, while repairs were made. The tug Tatoosh stood by ready to give as sistance if required. As the tanker's wireless would not work, a new system of "wireless" was pressed into serv ice. The two operators stood on the decks of the respective vessels and transmitted messages by whistling the telegraphic code. The schooner Mary E. Foster, that Is discharging hardwood lumber at Port land, will shift to the Hammond mill about May 1 to load lumber. The steam schooner Johan Poulsen arrived this morning from San Fran cisco and after taking on a part cargo of lumber at Westport will go to Port land to finish.

Great Northern Pacific Company In Aaked to Start Service From Los Angeles, but Declines. "There is no intention of operating the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific to Honolulu," said L. C. Gilman, president of the Great Northern Pa cific Steamship Comoany, yesterday in reply to rumors to the eltect that the Honolulu service was to be substituted for the Flavel-San Francisco service. "We are satisfied with our prospects between Flavel and San Francisco and expect to work up a good business there." Mr. Gilman says that the business people of Los Angeles have appealed to the company to place the ships on a run between San Pedro, the harbor for Los Angeles, and Honolulu. There is no direct steamship service between- San Pedro and Honolulu and the Los Angeles people believe a steamship line of this kind could be made to pay. "But we have not given the subject any consideration at all." says Mr. Gil man. "It would be impractical for us to operate a steamship line between poits at neither of which we have rail connection." Mr. Gilman says that repairs to the Great .Northern, now under way at San Francisco, can be completed within 30 days or six weeks. She then will be placed back in commission and sup plement the service of the Northern Pacific. It is understood that some salt water leaked into the machinery of the big shi; and that the blades of her turbines became corroded. The steamer Northern Pacific, which left Flavel Saturday, had a successful southbound trip, according' to reports. She docked at San Francisco within 25 hours after leaving the northern ter minal.
