16 TTTK jrORVTXG OTJEGOVTAN, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 29. 1916. COUNCIL IS Fl lil SCEXE IX PALESTINE PAGEAXT WHICH OPEXED LAST NIGHT IX WHITE TEMPLE. AUDITORIUM MIXLIP z Figures Are Presented to Show Errors in Bid Made by ! Hans Pederson. AWARD ATTITUDE IS SET .structural Workers Estimate Cost of Proposed Building to Bo $341,000 Mr. LaRoclie Op poses Retraction by City. Hans Pederson, Seattle contractor, presented figures to the City Council yesterday to substantiate his claim that his engineer made mistakes in his bid or the public auditorium general con tract, but his showing had no apparent weight. By unanimous vote, the Coun cil reaffirmed its action of last week, awarding the contract to Mr. Pederson. Mr. Pederson has contended that his engineer was ill when compiling his bid and that he made several mistakes in figures. As a result. Mr. Pererson says, be could not handle the contract without a substantial loss. The Coun cil took the postion that Mr. Pederson made the bid apparently with his eyes open and that he should be forced I go through with it or forfeit his certi lied check of 20.000. Glaring Krrora Are Cited. It was suggested that when he fin lshed the work if-he can show wnere n has lost money the Council might con sider helping him out. Mr. Pederson had R. O. Stanley, who is superintending the marble construe tion on the First National Bank build ing, and VV. F. Kratz, of the Northwes Steel Company, make a tabulation o the cost of the proposed building. Thet figures showed the probable cosl 10 u J341.000. In their report it was set out that i the Pederson bid several glaring errors had been made, one in addition and another in multiplication, and others in the omission of costs which win nav to be met bv the contractor. City Attorney LaRoche said that to relieve the contractor in this case wouia be virtually the opening of the doors to the same sort of thing in me iuture. Mistakes Laid to Xegltgence. He said every error pointed out could have been avoided by ordinary care and that if the city lets Mr. Pederson out of the contract the city will have to readvertise- for bids. This would hold up the contract for at least a month and might entail heavy loss to the city by reason of the fluctuating price of building materials. Whether or not Mr. Pederson will at tempt to go through with the contract or will take le-gal action seeking the return of his certified check, his attor ncy, Harrison Allen, was unable to say last night. He said Mr. Pederson wen to The Dalles yesterday after the Council meeting and will not return Until this afternoon. The figures. Mr. Allen said, are being checked over to see whether or not Mr. Tcderson can afford to go ahead with the contract. m- - ... .... . x ttv !j NEW WOULD AMEND SHIP LAW Chamber Urges Admission of Foreign Craft to Coastal Trade by Paying Duty. classification on "broad lines of effi cient, progressive business and techni cal ability and administration."

PLEA GOES TO CONGRESS '1 &rtv. i?w:i M Mir tcrSW'-i off j x 'S FREEDOM BRIEF NAKANO, ACQVITTED OF MUR DER. FACES NEW CHARGE. Releaned on Writ of Habeaa Corpus. New Warrant Is for Aaiiault With latent to Kill. After having been held in the Couri' ty Jail on no legal pretext since Sat urday night, Ainosuke Ankano, ac quitted last week by a jury in the Circuit Court of the murder of a fellow-countryman, was released by Cir cuit Judge Morrow yesterday on i . writ of habeas corpus. He was ar rested as he left the courtroom by Deputy Constable McCulloch, armed with a newly-issued warrant charging assault with intent to kill. Deputy District Attorney Collier ad mitted there had been a slip somewhere in that no charge had been placed . ngainst Nakano before, though it had been the intention of the District At . torney's office to prosecute the Japa nese on the charge on which he is now being held. When the jury returned its verdict of not guilty Saturday night, there was no member of the District Attorney's office present, it appeared, and Cir cuit Judge Phelps, of Pendleton, ap pearing for Judge Kavanaugh, re manded him back to jail, because the judge "understood" that the District Attorney wished him held on another - charge. Attorneys Hurlburt & Layton served the writ this morning and there was hearing at 2 o'clock, by which time the new warrant had been prepared. Nakano was accused of the death of K. Kobinata on the night of December - 6. He was freed on this charge, and '- the present complaint is signed by H. , Mizasaki, another Japanese. who .charges he was shot by Nakano in the ecufflo in Arion Hall that night MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS BACK .Two 3Ien Wake on Snow-Clad Peak to Find Blizzard Raging. Charles A. Benz and R. M. "Wilson returned to Portland last night at 6 ' o'clock after a hike to the summit of Table Mountain. They began their trip early Sunday morning and reached Hamilton Creek about :3u. They re ported difficult progress because of deep snow that was very soft. Because of this tliey were unable to return to Portland Sunday afternoon. The Portlanders spent the night in their sleeping bags on the top of the mountain, and were surprised to find that a blizzard was raging when they awoke yesterday morning. Although botn have made the trip before, they pay that never before have they seen the atmosphere as cltar as on Sunday aftornoon. 1 l w i x-j C - " w , Present Statute Said to Create One-Sided Situation, Unfavor able to Shippers, When Ton nage Engages Offshore. A duty on foreign-built ships enter ing the coastwise and intercoastal trade in the United States is the solution suggested by the Portland Chamber of Commerce navigation committee of the problem of securing adequate shipping service and at the same time protect ing the American shipbuilding indus try. This plan as worked out by the com mittee is being laid before Senator Chamberlain and the Oregon delega tion in Congress, and it is hoped that action upon the suggestion can be se cured in a short time.

" Vith true Oriental setting and with elaborate ceremonial, the Social Service Exposition and Palestine Pageant in the White Temple opened last night. Mayor Albee, in the name of the City of Portland, made the initial address welcoming the participants and the ex hibits and commending them to his townsfolk. Rev. T. W. Lane, president of the Portland Ministerial Association, pre sided. At the close of the addresses the Ori ental procession made its appearance. To the sound of the cymbal, timbre and other ancient instruments the pic turesque company made its way up the aisles, chanting and " clapping hands and preparing the way for the mysteri ous bride, who came last, heavily veiled. Dr. Allen Moore gave an entertaining description of the costumes and of the significance of the various costumes. Many of the gowns or robes worn in the pageant are of great value, richly embroidered and of historic interest. Stories Are Told. Miss Mollio Best told several Ghetto tories. Her dialect is charming, while her wit and quaint philosophy make her stories distinctive. To acquire hese in the true East Side fashion, he lived right in the Ghetto of New York City, where she did social service work. Miss Best will tell stories every day this week and each day the stories will be different. The Werren sisters, Frieda, Eliza beth, Alice and Hilda, sang several se lections, interspersing the music with the talks. Mrs. Mabel Hamilton was accompanist. The charm of this page- nt programme Is its versatility ana yet it is all correlated. Social Sen-Ice Exhibit Staged. The social servico exhibit contains largo number of features of great interest. It gives to Portlanders who ere unable to attend the exposition n San Francisco an opportunity to see ttractions that were shown in the Educational building. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union has a booth that shows the vast mount of work done in scientific edu cation by that organization. A unique ttraction is the monstrous petition. ver a mllo Jong, with its minions ot ignatures, asking for prohibition. The Damascus Gate, the Jaffa Gate, the tower of David and other historio laces are depicted in scenery arranged to give a faithful representation of the original. In an Oriental booth is seen tne croll containing the five books of the law of Moses, written by hand in Jeru- alem. This and many of the other relics claimed the interest of a large representation of Jewish people and others, including a number of college students, who visited the pageant and exposition last night. Heads Are on Display. A collection of beads Is most in teresting. There are pearls, ancient blue beads from Hebron, the city of Abraham; phylacteries used by ortho dox Jews, relics from ancient cities, valuable articles that were excavated by geographical societies and students. Instructive exhibits are shown by the Anti-Saloon League, the social service departments of the Presbyterian, Con gregational. Baptist. Lutheran. Pres byterian, South, and other church boards. The Episcopal "Chuch has an attractive display and the Federated Council of Churches is well repre sented. These exhibits were . splained by G. B. St. John, manager of the exposition, who was in charge of the religious ex hibits at the Panama-Pacific Exposi tion. Dr. Allen Moore Speaks. Dr. Allen Moore, for many years a missionary in the Holy Land, gave a vivid description of scenes and inci dents in that far-away country and told amusing anecdotes that made his lecture of great interest. In connection with the exhibit and patreant. Miss Mollie Best, story teller and magazine writer, will have story hours all this week, afternoon and nltrl-t. nn1 Miss Kdith Wills, nn au thority on temperance and scientific education, will speak. The exposition will be open for ten days, during which time the main rooms, galleries and lower hall of the White Temple will be a maze of Orien tal splendor and educational features.

CUBA SENDS QUERY Shippers Are Interested Vessel-Building Here. in NEGOTIATIONS ARE BEGUN GALE IMPERILS SHIPS Vessels Are Swept About by Storm in Tacoma Harbor. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 28. (Special.) Two schooners ran amuck in Tacoma harbor and a Tacoma fishing boat was hurled on the beach at Badah Point, Neah Bay. in a violent wind storm which swept the sound and straits last night and this morning. High south westerly gales are forecast for to night and tomorrow. The schooner Irene was blown. from the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Com pany's dock to Dash Point. Her an cnors caught and prevented her being carried ashore. While being clocked at the Puget Sound mill by a tug, the schooner Jane L. Sanford was carried part way across the bay by the wind. The purse seineboat Stadium, of Ta coma, was driven ashore on Badah Pointfn a Co-mile gale last night. The United States coast guard vessel Sno homish left this morning to go to the rescue.

Telegraphic approval of the recom mendation of Colonel Potter, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., that the Albina Engine & Machine Works be awarded a contract for overhauling and repair- ng the big dredge Chinook, was re ceived yesterday. The figure of the, successful bidder was S2b, 382.40. Colonel Potter telegraphed last night the result of bids opened yesterday for overhauling and repairing the dredge Colonel P. S. Michie, which is here. The lowest bid was that of the Vulcan Iron Works. $12,867.50, while McAllister & Son filed a tender of $13,561. 51 and the Willamette Iron & Steel Works one in the sum of $14,- BEAVER MAKES GOOD TIME Bear, Due From Southland Tomor row, May Be Drydocked. Reaching San Francisco at 12 o'clock yesterday the steamer Beaver, Captain Mason, ended the speediest trip south bound for the "Big Three" ships this year, being 45 hours on the way from Portland. The probabilities are the Bear will be drydocked here this week. She is due to arrive tomorrow, having left the Golden Gate at 4 o'clock yester day afternoon. The steamer's crew is said to have had all kinds of excuses at San Francisco because "Old Man Gloom," a dummy buried at sea Wash ington's birthday from the Bear, bobbed up again on the beach. CREWS MEET AT HONOLULU Men on Tnrblners Given First Chance to Get Together. Officers and members of the crews of the steamships Great Northern and Northern Pacific, while in Honolulu harbor last week, had their first op portunity to fraternize. The twin ships lay at anchorage during the mid-Pacific festival, which formally closed Saturday night. They sailed shortly after midnight Saturday, the Northern Pacifio steaming to Hilo and thence for San Pedro, while the Great Northern sailed direct for the Golden Gate, where she is due Thurs day. , Ice Jam Sinks Ferryboat. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Feb. 28. (Spe cial.) The sidewheel ferryboat Bear, formerly operated here by Captain Otis D. Treiber in the Hood River-Underwood service owned by William Lahey, who operates a ferry system between Cascade Locks and Stevenson, Wash., was sunk in the Columbia at Cascade Locks by Ice jams. With the river now free from Ice, Mr. Lahey is making preparations to raise tho Bear. It Is a long way from Cuba to the Columbia River, even as a bird flies, but with the existing demand for ton nage with which to keep pace with the world's commerce, Cuban interests have heard of the plant of the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, and the aux iliary schooner Ruby, now building there, for which they nave opened ne gotiations. Captain William Wrightson, who contracted with the St. Helens Ship building Company for the vessel, lives at Mobile, Ala., but is now here. He designed the ship for the Mobile-Cuban trade. She is to be ready about June, and will be a three-master with an auxiliary power plant, using a single unit Bolinder engine of the semi-Diesel type, developing 150-horsepower. The schooner will have a length of 158 feet, beam of 35 feet, and depth of hold of 12 feet, her lumber-carrying ca pacity being 500,000 feet. H. F. McCormick, .of the St. Helens plant, said last night that there was a sufficient number of carpenters at the yard, and that the auxiliary Ave masted schooner City of Portland would be launched the latter part of March. W. R.-Hewitt, consulting engineer of the McCormick fleet, to which the City of Portland will be added, is at St Helens from San Francisco, and Charles R. McCormick. head of the company, is here after having spent a few days at the shipyard. There appears to be no letup in the demand for new wooden tonnage, and mariners are of the opinion that the latest design adopted on the Coast, that of the auxiliary schooner, will con tinue to prove popular after the war and the present skirmishing for ves sels. Such a condition would work to the benefit of the Columbia River dis trict, because of the desirable timber to be had for ship construction. Recent deals closed here include the sale of the gasoline schooner Gazelle from R. A. Reid to J. E. Scharpe, a bill of sale for which has been filed at the Custom-House, also one for the propeller Coquille, which the Shaver Transportation Company purchased from the Myrtle Point Transportation Company. eomplete reconstruction will enable a foreign-built ship to enter the coast wise or intercoastal trade in this coun try. This law was made absolute, and is the only measure of protection that the American building industry has. The shippers, however, complain that this law has no elasticity and that in an emergency there is no possible way of pressing foreign-built ships into service to meet the conditions. They hold, moreover, that while the American-built ship has the monopoly of the coastwise traffic, as soon as induce ment is offered in offshore business it quits the Coast trade and takes up the more inviting traffic, leaving the coast wise shipper with no means of moving his goods. Shortage Grovfs Acute. The present enormous charters that are being offered to haul munitions and supplies to Europe have attracted prac tically all the vessels which are not ab solutely unfitted for offshore trade, and the result has been a steady increase in the rates charged the coastwise ship per and a scarcity of tonnage that has been growing steadily more acute. The plan of charging a duty on foreign-built ships is advanced by the Chamber as less radical and less se vere against the American shipbuilder than the complete repeal of the exist ing laws that is being demanded by commercial bodies In many other sec tions. "Chairman Penell, of the navigation committee, was authorized at the last meeting of that committee to develop the argument for a duty and place it before the Oregon delegation in Con gress." said W. D. B. Dodson, secre tary of the bureau of trade and com merce, yesterday. "In behalf of the plan it is argued that the duty will be made sufficient to cover the dif ference In wage in American shipyards as compared to foreign shipyards. Situation One-SIdcd. 'Then if a time shall arrive when the demand for American coastwise tonnage is very great relief may be had by paying the duty on foreign ships and entering them into the business." Also it gives the producer and ship per. Chairman Pennell and his commit tee argue, the power of getting some relief from a situation that is now en tirely one-sided. While American ships are going into the offshore trade as at the present pace, their place for at least a limited amount of the coast wise movement could be taken by smaller foreign craft that are not well adapted to the offshore trade. Alfred Tucker, a member of the nav ation committee and also a member of the Port of Portland, advanced this argument of a duty before Senator Gallinger's merchant marine committee several years ago. At that time Sena tor Gallinger regarded it as a thought of great interest, but it was never developed. Mr. Tucker brought the idea before the navigation committee at its last meeting. Members of the committee think It has great possibilities and believe that if it were properly backed by a cer tain number of Congressmen it might solve some features of the merchant marine problem now before Congress GERMANY MAY BUY LUMBER Lake Coeur u'Alene yesterday after having been tied up since December J1, owing lo ice.

RAT-CATCHING CAMPAIGN OS Federal Expert Starts Work in Ta coma Today on Intensive Plan. TACOMA. Wash.. Feb. 28. (Special.) H. W. Tinker, sent here by the Fed eral Health Bureau, will start tomor row morning what the Government calls an "intensive" rat-catching cam paign. The city has been divided into districts. About 200 snap traps will be used. "By trapping in districts we know how well we are covering the territory." said William B. Pryor. Fed eral sanitary inspector. "When one district is cleaned, we move to an other, and in that way we make an absolute clean sweep. We have found that to be the only way of making a sure job." Mr. Pryor left Tacoma today for the Grays Harbor country, where another anti-rat campaign is to be started. . Mr. Tinker will be in Tacoma a year, and will work under direction of Dr. Wall, city health officer. BILL PROVIDES SNAKE SURVEY Clearwater, St. Mary's and St. Joo Rivers Included Also. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 28. Under authority granted by the rivers and harbors bill, now before the House of Representa tives, a survey of Snake River from its mouth to Pittsburg landing, and of the Clearwater River from its mouth to Orofino, has been authorized, as re quested by Representatives Smith and McCracken. The survey not only will determine upon a plan for improving navigation, but also will determine how the improvement can be made to aid in the development of water power. The committee also authorized a sur vey of St. Mary's and St. Joe rivers, in Idaho. No improvement is authorized by the rivers and harbors bill. r Firms Abroad Cast About for Mar' ket When War Is Terminated. What is regarded as assurance on the part of Germans at home that the European war will be ended this Sum mer is the receipt of inquiry for cer- in lumber from the North Pacific Coast. In addition it is said steamship heads there are beginning to contem plate a resumption of services to various parts of the globe, including this Coast. From the Columbia River select lum ber moved in advance of the war to Germany and the decks of the big Hamburg-American liner Imperator were built of Oregon fir, while other decking was sent there, together with material for masts and spars. Fir deck ing with spruce and larch are said to make up the principal materials fot which there will be a market in Ger many. NAVAJO TRIP UNEVENTFUL Captain Ahlin Compares Atlantic Journey to Caniino'B Voyage. Writing from Ipswich, where he ar rived February 8 aboard the Arrow line steamer Navajo, Captain Ahftn, who has many friends here and is last remembered as master of the steamer Camino, has informed Frank Bollam that the voyage across the Atlantic was much more pleasant than his previous trip on the Camino, which was damaged in storms when carrying relief supplies to Belgium that were provided by Cali fornia interests. Following the sale of the Camino to New Yorkers last year Captain Ahlin returned to San Francisco and soon after was sent to Norfolk to take the Navajo, wich left here in September with a barley cargo and was compelled to make her way via the Straits of Magellan because of the closing of the Canal.
