The annual membership battle be tween the Portland Y. M. C. A. and the Seattle organization will start Monday morning. Seattle is still suffering from the defeat administered by the Portland organization in a similar competition last year and yesterday the "Y. M.ers" on the Sound forwarded a challenge to Portland, which was readily ac cepted. Saturday at noon the Portland forces will assemble at the Y. M. C. A. to plan another campaign. The fighting brigade will be formed by General "William F. Woodward, with Charles T. Wonacott as secretary. Colonel Ed ward Werlein will command one army and Colonel O. W. Davidson another. Kach colonel will be allowed to select lieutenant-colonels and captains, and each captain will be placed in charge of 10 men. Grand Rally Close Content. The scrimmage will begin at 10 o'clock Monday morning, when all of the workers will assemble at the i. M. C. A. headquarters for final in structions. Each man has . been pledged to de vofe at least two hours each day from March 27 to April 3. inclusive, to so licit memberships for the Y. M. C. A. The contest will close Monday night, April 3. at 9 o'clock, with a big rally at the Y. M. C. A. building, when final reports will be exchanged with Seattle. The present competition is part of a Nation-wide movement to add 1,000.000 members. In Portland the movement has been carefully planned and the purvey made yesterday gives the workers a list of names of more than 5000. This is the sixth contest in which Portland and Seattle have engaged for Y. M. C. A. memberships. Portland has heretofore won three contests and lost two. The methods of scoring adopted this year make it absolutely impossible for any wealthy admirer of either Y. M. C. A. to come to the rescue by the payment of a large sum of money for memberships at the last moment. Scoring System Ik Adopted. In the contest a total of 200 points Is allowed for each senior membership. A boy from 18 to 24 is worth 200 points filso. The reason is that there is hope of doing something for a boy of that aire. The membership of the Portland Y. M. C. A. is approximately 4000,-1100 of w hom were put on in last year's con test, which was the largest number se cured in any year since the competi tions began. A mighty effort is go ing to be made this year to exceed the record established in 1915. "The Y. M. C. A. organization is the greatest manhood factory In the world, and in this contest the organi sation should have the enthusiastic and unanimous support of every inter r?t in the city of Portland." said Gen eral William F. Woodward. Workers Are Assigned. "As indicative of the work that is now being don I would like to point out the one fact that hundreds of mn can be seen in the Portland Y. M. C. A. every night of the week en gaging In studies which range from reading and writing to technical en gineering." The list of captains already signed up is as follows: Oneral. W. F.

SEAMEN'S LAW IS CAUSE Chamber of Commerce Places Dif ficulty Before Washington Bu reau, Asking Relief or So- lution for Problem. Facing a dilemma in not obtaining sailors as a. consequence of the string ent provisions of the new seamen's law, which prevents advances being paid sailors on foreign as well as American vessels, also allotments of any kind save for the benefit of rela tives, thereby eliminating the custom ary source of revenue for those sup plying sailors, the Chamber of Com merce yesterday appealed to Secretary Red field, of the Department of Com merce, for temporary relief from the law being enforced. To place the matter squarely before him the following telegram was sent: '"Foreign ship Tridonia held in river 12 days trying get crew. Foreign ship Holt Hill in stream now waiting for crew. iso prospect of success. 1 hese condition due to new seamen's law. Will you either have fine remitted if fine necessary against captain in se curing his crew or suspend application seamen's law to such vessels until Gov ernment can either furnish crews or help work out conditions wherein ships can get crews promptly under present conditions? Injury to our commerce threatens to be very serious and we have suffered enough from other causes already. Portland Chamber of Commerce." The action was taken when the seri ousness of the situation was shown by M. 11. Houser, charterer of the Holt Hill. She has a grain cargo aboard for the United Kingdom, having been anchored in the stream for several days ready to leave for sea, but short of men. The law insists that 40 per cent of the crew must be able seamen, and 75 per cent of them understand orders givn by th officers. In com plying with the first provision they must be certified after an examination. "Sailors are bing paid higher wages in shipping from Portland than has , ever been the case, and it is dif f icult to obtain the rifrht kind of men with-i out being hampered by the law," said Shipping Commissioner Jack Grant yes terday. "Tn spite of the fact advances are prohibited we are doing all possible to fill crews and hope to pet 12 ailors required aboard the Holt Hill in a few days." I But with the law continuing in force, another delay Is lobked for when the i Norwegian bark Musselcrag, now load ing, is finished, also the Norwegian ' bark Olive bank, which is loading and will have the last of her load stowed away so as to he ready for her crew early in the week. Following her will be the British ship Alice A. Leigh and the French bark Bosauet. Complaints have been general on Puget Sound, also at San Francisco, as to the new law and so far appeals to Washington have had no effect, OAKLAXD IS 'HIGH AXD PRY Stranded Lumber Schooner Is Xot Breaking l'pf as Reported. BAT CITY, Or., March 23. (Special.) The derelict schooner Oakland, which stranded on Manzanita Beach last night. Is high and dry at low tide today. Al though the first reports were that, the vessel was breaking up, examination today indicated that there was little danger to he feared. Georg Williams, of the Brighton mill, had taken charge of the lumber laden craft for her owners, the Fyfe Lumber Company, of San Francisco, for which port she was bound from the Coquille River when abandoned on Tuesday. Her crew of seven men was taken off by the steamer Saginaw and landed at Everett, Waeh. The three masts of the vessel are standing and one sail is set. The cabin in smashed. The deckload is missing. The cargo consists of Port Arthur rail rond ties. The rising tide early today shifted the position of the stranded schooner somewhat, and her stern was carried higher up on'the beach, with the bow pointed around to sea. Although the vessel pounded somewhat, she did not appear in any danger of going to pieces. The sea was comparatively quiet. I Marine Notes. That th Willamette Hirer will reach a stage of 15.5 feet here today is predicted by the Weather Bureau, and it is believed the crest of the high water will arriv so t he stream will be fairly stationary tomor row and Sunday.

Assessed 22.32 for repairs to the East Alder-street sewer, the amount being taxed against Municipal Dock No. it Kt Washington street, the Commission of Public Docks refuses to pay. At least at yesterday's meeting, at tended by C. O. Moores, Dan Kellaher a inhn H BurETard. payment was halted on the strenuous objections of Commissioner Kellaher. "Prnnrtv owners once paid for the construction of the Eaet Alder-street ewer, and when the sewer DroKe tne expense of making repairs should have been ordered taKen irora me scucrm fund," declared - the memoer irom tne East Side. "I regard the assessment as an Illegitimate tax." If Commissioners Ben, belling ana r. C. Knapp attend the next meeting there may be (sufficient strengtn in iavor oi the assessment to bring about its liqui dation. It is really paying from one Docket into another, as the dock prop erty belongs to the municipality. Encouragement was given the pro posal of Mitsui & Co. to open a distrib uting yard here for Oriental and Aus tralian lumber, the Commission agree ing to assign the company 25,000 square feet of space to the rear of Dock No. 2 on a basis of 150 a month, or 40.000 square feet at $200.

That failed, and at the present session an other has been considered for the revenue from the leases to be turned over the state. There are five sites and a few years -ago the leasing period was lowered to one year. Authority received yesterday also provides for three-year leases again. 'Wapama Is Loaded Rapidly.

That the majority of Portland drug gists would be glad to see restrictions thrown around the sale of alcohol, and are disgusted with the condition pro voked by the "white-lime" bottle habit, la the information gathered by Public Defender David Robinson from conver sation with many of them. Vexed by the constant confession of drunkards appearing in Municipal Court, that their source of supply was the pharmacies. Judge Langguth re quested Mr. Robinson o make an in vestigation of the assertions of a con stant offender who was about to re ceive sentence. Mr. Robinson found that it was prac tically impossible to locate the identical stores where culprits received the liquor, as the use of fictitious names on the affidavits was common. Addressee as furnished were not re liable. Many, of the applicants for al cohol gave Vancouver barracks as their habitat, but the majority claimed the minor hotels and cheaper lodging houses as places of abode. Various druggists indicated that they could not be certain of the applicant's integrity, and must accept his affidavit when properly filled out. One pharmacist said he sold alcohol only to doctors and nurses, and to per sons whose reliability was unques tioned. Another had refused to take out a permit. Troops' Delayed Leaving: Cheyenne.
