ORIENTAL TRADE IS
ALL GIVEN AWAY
La Follette Act Said to Haye
t Put American Flag
j&l, Off Pacific.
JAPANESE NOW IN CONTROL
JI. ir. licrg. Pacific Mail Officer,
Tells W'liy Tt la Impossible to
Compete Wltli Iiow Wages
J. Paid by Other Xations.
"The LaFollette seamen's act does
not go into effect until November 4,
but already it iias made an outright
rift of the trans-Pacific carrying trade
to the Japanese, and in a short time
American ships now running between
San Francisco and Central and South
American ports will also be with
drawn," said H. H. Berg, purser of the
Pacific Mail liner Newport, Wednesday.
Mr. Berg Is in Tortland on a visit t.
his brother, Charles F. Berg, promi
nent in the Chamber of Commerce and
Portland Ad Club. He has been with
the Pacific Mall eight years, on the
fjan Francisco-Panama run.
"With the sale by the Pacific Mail
line of the steamers Mongolia, Man
churia, Korea. Siberia and China, which
were under the American flag, and the
Persia, under the Knglish flag," con
tinued Mr. Berg, "the Japanese now
have the Oriental trade out of San
Francisco to themselves. The disposal
of these vessels hag been a terrific
blow to shippers.
Shippers Face Big Louses.
"Some Idea of the conditions they are
facing may be gained from the fact
that the Japanese line which has suc
ceeded to this trade has every foot of
space on its ships and every passenger
accommodation eold up to the end of
January. Shippers can't get space for
their goods, can't fill their orders and
are up against big losses.
"The opportunity Is so tempting that
It is understood that another Japanese
line is going to enter the field. Ship
pers have no prospects of relief for
a long time to come, however. And the
addition of this other line will only
nerve to give the Japanese a further
throttle-hold on the trans-Pacific trade.
"Under the LaFollette act it is sim
ply impossible for American ships to
continue in the trans-Pacific trade. This
is not theory, but cold fact. The act
requires that 75 per cent of the crew
111 net be able to understand the lan
guage of the ship's officers, and thus
makes it necessary to employ white
men as ordinary sailors, waiters,
stokers and for other rough work on a
vessel.
Handicap Iteirnrded as ImposMlble.
"Where the Japanese ships pay these
men $8 to $10 a month, the American
ships will now have to pay $30 to $40
a month. When you consider that the
Manchuria carried a crew of 400 men,
you can see what an impossible handi
cap thi imposes on American vessels.
Without the advantage of being able
to employ the same cheap labor that
the Japanese lines employ, competition
Is impossible. ...
"The Pacific Mall has long been
known around the whole wocld as the
best steamship company- to work for.
Wages on ships on the Pacific Coast
are higher than anywhere else in the
world, and the Pacific Mail paid higher
wages than any of the other Pacific
Coast companies. Now it hao not only
gone out of the trans-Pacific carrying
business, but as soon as it can sell its
ships, it will go out of the Central and
South American business as well.
"It is Impossible for anyone who
is not in the business or familiar with
it to realize what a calamity this -will
be to the Pacific Coast. Not only in
San Francisco, but at all the ports in
Central America . where these vessels
touch, they do realize it, and are clam
oring against it.
"When the Paciflc Mail ships go out
of business the service will probably
fall into the hands of tramp steamers,
going wherever they get cargoes and
not operating on any schedule."
Mr. Berg has been in Portland since
Monday. He leaves Portland today for
Ban Francisco to Join his ship, the New
port, which sails on October 23. The
round trip to Panama takes two
months.
NEW WAY SAVES BABIES
GROWTH CAUSIXG STARVATION JS
COXQCBItED.
Discovery of Operation for Congenital
Pyloric Stenosis Announced
by Chicago Physician,
CHICAGO, Oct. 14. (Special;) After
working out theories and exneriment-
lng on animals for years, Alfred A.
Strauss and Isaac A. Abt, of the staff
of Michael Reese Hospital, has an
nounced the discovery of a new opera-,
tion for congenital pyloric stenosis,
which, it is said, will save the Jives of
thousands of babies.
The operation has been performed
successfully by the two physicians
during trie last year, but the first
public announcement of the experiment
and its success was made today. Many
newly born babies are found to have
tumorous-Iiks growths -around their
pylori, which prevent food from pass
ing from the stomach to the Intestines.
As a result the baby is unable to re
tain food, it suffers starvation, grows
weak and eventually dies.
Instead of forming a new connec
tion, the new operation cuts away the
thickened muscles around the pylori.
It is a sort of ehelling-out process
which leaves the opening clear.

the United States' coast guard cutter
Snohomish and the tug Prosper.- Hurto
Marredonr, the steward, died October S
of the disease, which made Its ap
pearance aboard the ship six weeks
ago.
- When physicians from the quarantine
station boarded the vessel tonight they
found four sailors in a serious condi
tion s!nd all the rest of the crew, in
cluding the master, too ill to work. It
taxed the strength of the men to bring
the vessel inside the cape and when
the Snohomish arrived they could hard
ly make fast the tow line.
So weak were the sailors that they
could not reef the salis and the Sno
homish and the Prosper frequently had
to struggle against the -wind which
filled the loose canvas. " The Stella
was 71 days making the passage from
Callao.
The sick men will be transferred to
the marine hospital tomorrow and the
ship sent to quarantine for fumiga
tion an-1 cleaning. The quarantine offi
cers said the Stella was in the most
unsanitary condition of any vessel that
ever came- to Puget Sound.

TIOX LEGISLATURE.
Authority to Eliminate Ultimately All
Crude Crossings on Rail
roads to Be Asked.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. State
Legislatures throughout the United
States will be petitioned by their re
spective railroad commissions to adopt
laws giving the commissioners power
to eliminate, ultimately, all grade
crossings, according to a resolution
adopted today by the 27th annual con
vention of the National Association of
Railway Commissioners, which is in
session here.
The crossings were branded as dan
gerous. . No definite plan looking to
ward their elimination was adopted.
Alexander Gordon, of San Francisco,
a member of the California Railroad
Commission, told the convention that
figures compiled by the Southern Pa
cific Company and the Pacific Elec
tric Company, both of California,
showed that out of approximately 25,
000 persons only 35 stopped and looked
in both directions when passing over
a railroad grade crossing; 1694 did not
stop, but looker in one direction; 8950
kept going, but looked in both direc
tions, while 14.000 neither stopped nor
looked on either side.
OFFICER'S FAMILY BARRED
Hoard Tells Joe Keller State Will
Pay for His Maintenance Only.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.)
Acting on the opinion of Attorney
General Brown, the State Board of
Cintrol Wednesday instructed Warden
Minto, of the penitentiary, to inform
Parole Officer Keller that he no longer
is entitled to residence and board
for his family at state expense. In a
recent ruling the Attorney-General
held that the parole officer alone was
entitled to maintenance and office
room.
Governor WIthycombe told the other
members of the Board that he believed
the original intent of tha law was for
the parole officer to receive a residence
and maintenance for his family, as the
law states he shall reside at the prison.
Officer Keller offered to pay rent for
the house belonging to . the state In
which he has been living and to pay
the state for provisions obtained, but
the Board deemed this could not prop
erly be done.

Man Who Defrauded Many Sow Is
Pondering Over Figures of Ber-
tillon Measurements. Acting
as Hall Clerk.
ROCHESTER, X. Y.. Oct. 9. When
Henry Siegel. tire New York banker
merchant, went to Geneseo, last June
to accept his ten months' prison sen
tence. Captain Bill Craig, warder of
the Monroe County Penitentiary, hapr
pened to be in the village and was in
troduced to the man who within a few
days was to become his enforced guest.
"Well, warden," Siegel asked jok
ingly, "what kind of work are you
going to give me to do in Jail?"
"Well, Mr. Siegel," Captain Bill re
plied, "can you curry horses?"
The former department store mag
nate, seated in a rocking chair on the
porch of the Big Tree Inn, stretched
his" arms and legs to their full length,
surveyed them whimsically and re
plied: "Yes, : Mr. Warden, I can if you
will give me a stool."
Areporter, who visited Monroe Coun
ty's model institution in Rochetser,
found that no such crude labor has
beer thrust upon Siegel. More than
two months after he was locked up,
the most arduous thing Siegel has had
to handle . has been a pen.
Siegel has two duties in the prison.
He keeps the Bertlljon records and as
sists the "hall clerk," who registers the
inmates much after the fashion of an
up-to-date hotel.
Favoritism Is Denied.
That the lightness of his duties is
due to any favoritism is emphatically
denied at the prison, where it is . ex
plained that both Siegel's age and his
diminutive stature unfit him for man
ual labor, while the ability at figures
which proved so disastrous for the
thousands of depositors In his savings
bank makes him useful in the clerical
work of the institution.
The biggest surprise that Siegel has
had since the failure of his department
store enterprises is declared by those
who have watched him to be the fact
that he has failed to be a popular
prisoner. "
Up to the moment the penitentiary
doors were closed upon him he was
"Mr. Siegel." Supreme Court Justice
Clark so called him staying sentence.
The court addresssed him so when, six
months later, he directed that sentence
be carried out. The Sheriff of Liv
ingston County "Mistered" him on the
way to the prison, while Deputy Sher
iffs politely carried the convicted man's
baggage.
But the story of Siegel's misdeeds
followed him into this confinement and
the part of it that has been empha
sized and reiterated behind the prison
gates has been that the once wealthy
merchant's victims were nearly all poor
people. After that he was plain "Sie
gel" when he wasn't Just "A. L,.," his
prison number.
- - Men In Gray Shun Him.
And so the men in gray have shunned
Siegel. He was quick to perceive their
attitude and he retaliated by assum
ing an air of exclusive aloofness. He
speaks to practically no one within the
place except an occasional word to
Warden Craig and the necessary talk
with those with whom he works.
One of the first requests he made
after he had fallen Into the routine
was that he be transferred to clerical
work in the front office. The prison
wireless accounts for that as a desire
to escape the suspicious and resentful
glances of the gray-clad men who
somehow managed to deny him the
brotherhood of the convicted. But the
request was at once refused and Siegel
remained among but not of bis fellow
convicts.
An attitude that was spontaneous on
the part of the inmates at first has now
become fixed and intentional. The rea
son is that Siegel hasn't shown any re
morse or any realization of the suffer,
lng he caused.
"He doesn't seem to feel it," Captain
Craig said,
"That removes the one claim that he
might have to sympathy. If he suffers
for what he did no one knows It and
the feeling here U that he got off too
easy."
The big, good-natured warden, who
has made his prison farm the admira
tion of prison workers all over the
state, then more than intimated that
the prison authorities believe there may
be further punishment in store for Sie
gel. Mr. Craig didn't say that the author
ities in Boston, where there is a. per
jury Indictment hanging over Siegel's
head, had formally asked to be notified
of the exact time that he emerges from
me institution, tie did admit, though,
that in seme way he, as head of the
prison, has been made officially aware
of the existence of the claim of the
Boston police on his prisoner's' person.
Interview Denied Reporter.
"I don't want to say anything and
I don't want to hear anything," was the
reply he returned when told a reporter
would like to talk with him.
A few moments later, as the reporter
walked through the cell block, Siegel,
dressed' in the plain prison gray, was
perched on a high stool at the "room
clerk's" desk, peering at a book
through steel-rimmed spectacles- and
chewing gum in his old vigorous fash
Ion. He looked well and there was no
change n his appearance . except that
his mustache has been shaved off and
the bald spot on the top of his head has
widened its margins a bit. The prison
records show that he has gained seven
pounds in weight.
When Siegel saw the reporter ap
proach he moved his glasses, sat up
straignt, threw out nis small chest.
and let the ghost of a smile flit ever
his face. But though the reporter was
known to him he gave not the slight
est sign of recognition or greeting.
Of late he- has talked less about
"restitution and rehabilitation." though
new and then he still declares he hopes
to square up his huge indebtedness
some day.
It will be recalled that the day he
went to Jail Siegel admitted that rather
than offer to- pay back $150,000 to his
depositors in the hope of having the
stay of execution of his sentence made
permanent, he had decided to serve his
time and use that sum, promised him
by friends, to establish himself in busi
ness when he comes out. This plan,
the officials say, he has not metioned
for weeks, though he did tell Henry
Solomon, chairman of the State Prison
Commission, two weeks ago, that he
still "hopes to make good."
May Be Ont In February.
Besides Mr. Solomon, the only visi
tors the former department store king
has had have been his Geneseo counsel.
State Senator Charles Newton, who has
palled twice; a nephew, who came to
see him from Cleveland, and a brother
from. Chicago, who called once.

A NERVINE TONIC
In many severe nervous disorders the
best remedy is often a tonic The most
active tonio treatment Is recommended
by the highest medical authority to ar
rest the progress of such diseases.
It is Impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are a nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood,
enabling the blood to carry to the
nerves the elements needed to build
them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache and
a number of more severe nervous trou
bles are properly treated by building
up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and are often entirely corrected
in this way.
If you are nervous you can help
yourself by refusing to worry, by tak
ing proper rest, sleep and vacations, by
avoiding excesses and by taking out-of-door
exercises. For medicine take
Lr. Williams' Pink Pills, the non-alcoholic
tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders who
have been taking treatment without
benefit should investigate the tonic
method. Write today to the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y..
for the booklet, "Diseases of the Nerv
ous System." It will be sent free on request.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail
on receipt of price, fifty cents per box.

occasional one of the crank variety,
and he seldom writes. His spare time
and under tho lenient administration
of a prison where Captain Craig says.
"We try to treat them as humans, no
matter what they ve done," he has
plenty of it is devoted to reading. He
devours everything in print he can get.
The visits of Attorney Newton gave
rise to rumors that an attempt was
to be made to get Siegel a commuta
tion of .the remainder of his sentence.
About the time the lawyer called.
Mrs. Emmeline Baker. who lost
heavily In the bank crash and led the
fight to have his prospective offer of
$150,000 repayment to tho depositors
refused by the court, wrote the pris-
oner a letter in which she offered to
Intercede with Governor Whitman in
Siegel's behalf provided he would
promise to try to pay all his debts.
-wnat could sne do?" Siegel asked
contemptuously of Warden Craig and
tossed tne letter away.
Since then the prison has beard
nothing of pardon ambitions.. With good
behavior, such as has so far always
characterized him for Siegel, though
aloof and taciturn, is not surly he
will get 50 days off his ten months'
sentence, five for eaeh month, that will
bring about his release about the mid
dle of February.
For two weeks, shortly after lie was
locked up, Siegel had a heavy cold.
which necessitated his removal to the
institution's hospital. He got thin and
coughed constantly and his condition
somewhat alarmed the physician. But
he soon mended and was sent back to
his cell after 14 days, declared to be in
better health than when he entered.
