NEED OF COAL ASSERTED Managing Director of Kosmos Com pany Says 90,000 Tons of Cargo Annually Could Be Taken by Steamers Going to Hamburg. "Our line could handle 90,000 tons of cargo a year from Portland in the Europeon service and, with coal to be had. of which we would reauire per haps 12,000 tons annually, we could make this the terminus instead of con tinuing to Puget Sound," said Cesar - Wehrhahn, managing director of the big Kosmos line, last night after his first dav at Portland inspecting the harbor and dock facilities. He will make a stuay or general conditions mat win keep him here two or three days long er. Mr. Wehrhahn is accompanied by Harold H. Ebey, San Francisco repre sentative of the fleet. "There is one thing lacking here that is import business," continued Mr. Wehrhahn, "and, of course, that is true throughout the United States, for the trouble in Europe has resulted in Amer icans turning more to their own re sources and manufacturing has in creased. No one can tell what it will amount to when normal conditions are restored, but I do not believe imports from Europe will ever be as heavy as they were before." Visitor Familiar With Details. Mr. Wehrhahn is apparently as thor ough in his study of the situation here as he is reputed to be in his share of the operation of the big fleet, having coal consumption, drafts of vessels, ca pacities and kindred details at his fin ger tips. "You have plenty of water in the Channel between Portland and the sea," he said. "There is no question about that now; but imports and coal must be considered. It is a pity that such ' docks as you have should not be used, but now, of course, it is an abnormal time and there is reason for all not being used; , but even before the war Portland did not do the share of busi ness it should. "You must follow the same rule as tome of the largest European ports in bringing conditions on an equality with your competitors, then all will be well. You have the grain, lumber and other things here that are required in Eu rope, ti.e same as on Puget Sound, and that is why we can make this the ter minal of our line from Hamburg to the Pacific Coast. It would not be the fcdiiiK vtiujl uui tsei v lue xruiii 1110 weak Coast of South America, as there are heavy shippers on Puget Sound as well, und the steamers must go there." Long Trip la Taken.

Harbormaster Speier took Mr. Wehr- - iiahn and Mr. Ebey through the harbor yesterday. Municipal dock No. 1 and other points were inspected and infor mation as to general facilities was fur nished. G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer of the Commission of Public Docks, es- corted the party through municipal dock No. 1 and, as far as shipping facil ities are concerned, it is believed Mr. Wehrhahn was satisfied. It would seem that Portland is be ing considered seriously in the European-Pacific Coast service, but that coal . must be provided. In that connection it is understood the plans of the Port of Portland Commission will be gone into todav as reErrH4 the nrnnr.H oistflh- lishment of bunkers, while full infor mation on all subjects dealing with the affairs of the Port, in which Mr. Wehr hahn is interested, will be provided. The Chamber of Commerce is- deeply concerned in his visit and in advance of his coming data were forwarded for his perusal. STEEL TO OniEXT DIVERTED Material .Landed on Puget Sound Goes to San Francisco on Coasters. - Inability to ship steel from Puget Bound to Oriental ports, owing to lack of tonnage, has caused some material to be diverted to San Francisco on, vessels of the Pacific Coast Steamship JLorapany. Japanese interests have purchased heavily in the East in the way of steel . and other building materials and the congestion at Seattle and Tacoma, be- , . cause or war supplies moving to viadi- vostok, has prompted investigation into ' a proposal to route such shipments by " way of Portland, there being no con . ,"gestion here and abundant storage - - rpace being available. Serious consid oration is being given a plan to route "Vladivostok consignments through Portland and send chartered vessels here to load, thereby moving cargo that is now detained on Puget Sound, as well as some discharged here bo the cars could be used. MARINE REVIEW BOOSTS PORT "Space Devoted to Recital of Harbor Z and Channel Improvements. Organization of the Port of Portland Commission and its responsibilities in channel work and towing, facilltie provided through the Commission of Public Docks and the advancement of channel improvements at the entrance to the Columbia River, are exploited prominently in the April number of the Pacific Marine Review, of San Francisco. G. B. Hegardt, chief engi neer of the Commission of Public Docks, provided the information on the work of the Commission and the ad' vancement of Jetty work and dredging at the mouth of the Columbia. Charts of the mouth of the Columbia are reproduced, the first being of the J.885 survey, when the low water depth was zo feet, then one made in 189s when the depth was 31 feet, also 1902 when changes reduced the low water depth to 21 feet, and. last, the showing of January, 1916, with a least depth of so feet for a width of 1500 feet.

The patient, when asked who were his people, his sons, daughters, wife or parents, replied that he had forgotte Since then, several weeks ago, the patient, who says his name is August Amon, has been racking his brain with his waning strength trying to recall the name of his family. He told the physicians he believed they were in Chicago. Amon, according to the hos pital authorities, is now dying, and, unless his memory returns soon, he will die alone without word of com fort from the children he is unable to remember.

DEATH IS ESCAPED TWICE Third Marriage of Dickinson H. Bishop, One of Titanic Survivors, Is to Daughter of D. D. Bryce, Noted Chicago Sportsman. CHICAGO. March 23. As the adven turous life of Mrs. Helen Walton Bish op closed recently in Danville, 111., a transcontinental train was bearing Dickinson H. Bishop, millionaire "stove king" at Dowagiac, Mich., from whom she obtained a divorce and $100. 000 alimony in January, westward on his third honeymoon. In Atlanta, Ga., he married Miss Sydney Boyce. daughter of W. D. Boyce, the Chicago publisher and sportsman. While the body of Mrs. Bishop is being taken to the home of her parents in Sturgis, Mich- Bishop and his bride will near San Franqlsco, from which city they will sail for Honolulu. Old Injury Caused Death. Mrs. Bishop's death followed an emergency operation for an injury to her skull, received two years ago in an automobile accident while she was returning from a country club in Kal amazoo with her husband. She was thrown from the machine into a tree, her veil catching on a twig, and fell on her head. Her skull was badly fractured and for weeks she lay near death. Then a silver plate was fas tened to the top of her head and she apparently recovered. It was the second time since her marriage that she escaped a violent death and her frfiends marveled. She returned from her wedding trip to Eu rope on the ill-fated Titanic She clung to her husband and they suc ceeded in finding a place in a lifeboat. Hours after the big liner sank they were picked up. Mrs. Bishop began to experience se vere pains in her head last week. It is said that an operation to relieve her was performed on Monday. She died before the arrival of Dr. John A. Wilfer, house physician at the Blackstone, where she resided when in Chicago. Her death occurred in the home of Mrs. O. W. Cannon, with whom she re cently toured the West Indies and Pan ama. Derelict Youth Found. When she landed in New York Feb ruary 22 it was learned from Mrs. Bishop, that she had discovered Phil lip Edgar Grant, whom she had known seven years before and who had run away from his wealthy parents in Rochester, X. Y., working on the boat as a steward. Grant became so inter ested in the "white lights" of Broad way that he neglected his studies at Cornell and failed to obtain sufficient credits to receive a degree. Rather than face his parents he disappeared. Mrs. Bishop denied there was any thing romantic in their friendship and asserted the report they were engaged was without foundation. Mrs. Bishop was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .T. Walton. Her father is president of the Royal Chair Com pany at Sturgis. They were in Flor ida when notified that their daughter nad surrered a relapse and arrived Jn Danville shortly before she died. Former Spouse Renrdi, Dickinson Bishop and Miss Boyce were married by Dr. Flynn at the First Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. Only memoers or the families were present. The marriage was the climax of a brief courtship which grew in fervor during a few weeks' sojourn in the South. Following his divorce Mr. Bishop went to Pinehurst. Atlanta, where Miss Boyce and her parents were spending the Winter. Following their honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Bishop will return to Dowagiac, where they will reside in the beautiful mansion built for Mary Lee Bishop, Bishop's first wife. She died before it Was completed. IDAHO LOSES TAX SUIT Supreme Court Divided in Issue In volved in ITarriman Estate. BOISE, Idaho, April 3. In a divided opinion handed down today, the Su preme Court of Idaho denied the appli cation of the state for the issuance of a writ of mandate commanding the Probate Judge of Boise to appoint a competent person to appraise the prop erty of the Oregon Short Line'Railroad in. Idaho, as existing on September 9, 1909, and particularly the interest therein of E. H Harrimon. for the purpose of collecting an inheritance tax upon tbe transfer of his interest to his widow, Mary W. Harrimark. The property upon which it was sought to collect an inheritance tax is valued at from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000. The majority of the court held that there was a want of jurisdiction, and that Mr. Harriman left no estate in Idaho subject to settlement under state laws. In a dissenting opinion Chief Jus tice Sullivan held that the stock cer tificates willed by Harriman to his wife would be worthless without the ex istence of the physical property and franchise back of them; that to tax them in the state in which the company is incorporated and not in the state that affords the property, the protec tion of Its laws is not consistent with sound legal principals. RUM PROVES PROFITABLE Craft Will Earn $40,000 for Taking Liquor to Africans. BOSTON, March 28. F"or transport ing rum from Boston to the west coast of Africa $40,000 will be received by the owners of the four-masted schoon er Fred W. Thurlow. The Thurlow will carry more than 200,000 gallons for the natives. She is the 12th ship from this port with a rum cargo in a year. The increase in the demand for Boston rum is said to be due to the stoppage pf shipments from England. Another ship wijl leave here with another cargo as soon as a sailing vessel can be procured. BATTERY USED ON STARTER Xew York Horseman Tells Interest ing Story From Maryland Track. WASHINGTON, March 25. "Speak ing of electric batteries." remarked J. E. Nash, a well-known horseman of New York, at the Raleigh, "I remember an Incident at the old Iron Hill track in Maryland, a long- time ago, that was more or less amusing, though at the' time it did not appeal to me, for I was interested." Mr. Nash's observation was occa sioned by reference to the discovery a few days ago by the officials at Juarez that a jockey had been using a battery on one of the starters in a. race. "I happened to be interested in a horse called Farragut," -continued Mr. Nash. "He was not much of a horse. He was that kind of a horse, in fact, that would make a trainer's hair grow gray in a night. In the morning he could run fast, but when he had the colors up he was what is called a 'sucker' horse. He simply would not try when we wanted him to, and he broke many a friend of mine. I got disgusted with the horse. If 'someone had offered me $100 for him I would have let him go in a minute, but no body made me the offer. Just when I was thinking of giving him away Far ragut showed me a trial one morning that startled me. I didn't think it pos sible for a horse to run as fast as he did. Thereupon I forgot about my for mer experiences and of course decided to try him again. I found a nice soft spot and put a good bet dd"wn. As usual, Farragut was away back at the finish. "That stopped me for good. The next time I entered the horse I determined to let him 'run for Sweeney.' I wouldn't have bet on him with Mexican money. In fact. I took so little interest in tbe race that when the time came for the start I was not a bit disturbed when my jocked disappointed me. I was about ready to ask the judges to ex cuse the horse, when a Jockey in colors stepped up and volunteered to ride. It suited me. You can imagine my surprise when I caw Farragut break out of the bunch after the start and lead his field home a dozen lengths in front. And he was 40 to 1 In the betting, too. Well, I was just about desperate enough to cut his throat that night. I could not explain it, and never could. "Several years later, after Iron Hill had been closed, I was on my way to California, when a jockey approached me on the train and stopped to chat. Then he told me that years before he had ridden a horse for me. I remem bered, of course. 'You didn't know, though," said the boy. 'that I had an electric battery that day. The man I was going to use it for was disappoint ed and I wanted to try it out. and so I used it on your horse. Oh, yes; it worked all right.' " C. W. HASTINGS IS SUICIDE Insurance Stan Dresses Himself With Care for His Passing. Life lost its savor for Charles W. Hastings. 60, well-known insurance man, and he committed suicide In his room in the Mohawk building early yesterday morning. In a note left lying on the table he discussed the premedi tated act and explained hl3 decision. Shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday the janitor entered the room to learn why Mr. Hastings had not yet arisen. The body lay on a. couch, dressed in full evening attire. About the face was wrapped a heavy towel, and the room reeked with the scent of chloroform. A one-pound bottle of the fluid was beside the couch, with a quarter of its contents gone. The typewritten note gave evidence of the deliberate attitude in which he faced his self-inflicted death. It read: "Being born to destiny and almost poverty, with health and plenty of labor, to climb to an honorable station is what my life's desire has been. Try to please, spread sunshine, looking for brighter things, shunning the dark spots, using the motto, 'There is noth ing so bad but that it might be worse,' has made life all that I desired until this date. "The lack of labor, unoccupied time, reflections, comparing myself, methods, inclinations, the lack of truth and hon esty in business and otherwise, I find myself much out of date at a time in life to attempt to change; clouds would replace sunshine, not only to others, but to myself. "Having no regrets, with a few re quests: First, that the newspapers re frain from headlines and space, and that my lodges abide by requests made in another note, to whom I also re quest to be my administrators. "C. W. HASTINGS. "April 3. 2:15 A. M." Mr. Hastings was a member of Wil lamette Lodge, No. 2; Scottish Rite and Al Kader Temple. He had occupied offices in .the Mohawk building for four years and was considered to have no financial difficulties. No relatives are known to be in this vicinity. Coroner Dammasch took charge of the body and removed it to the morgue. It was considered unnecessary to hold an inquest in view of the existing cir cumstances. YOUNG HUSBAND IS SUED Elderly Woman.

The Nobel committee of the Norwegian parliament, which annually is supposed to award the Nobel prize to the man or institution that has done the most remarkable work for peace in the year immediately preceding, is in a quan dary. It would like to nominate f!oine one to receive about $45,000 for his ef forts for peace, but there is no peace. For two vears 1914 and 1915 the five members of the peace committee have met in the tastefully decorated rooms of the Nobel institute on the DrammensveJ, have looked around them at the photographs on the walls of past recipients of the peace prize, have glanced at the latest reports from the east front, the west front, the Balkan front, the Turkish front and the Alpine front and have moved to adjourn. The Nobel prize remains unawarded. Similarly the Nobel committees that sit in Stockholm and award prizes for the most momentous achievements in medicine and literature have found their occupation gone. The committee on the prize for medical work reserved Its award to 1916. The committee on the Nobel prize for literature decided there was no one worthy of its help in 1914, but made no disposition of the money thus remaining at its disposal In 1915 this committee determined to reserve the prize for 1916. The peace committee may be troubled because there is no peace but the literature committee, in this instance the Swedish academy, is not handicapped by a lack of books. What it mourns, say those who know, is the lack of literature. By the terms of the statutes each of the annual prizes must be awarded at least once in a five year period, so that the peace committee still has three years In which to find a candidate for the neace reward.

Women prom inent in society who have taken ex aminations for Red Cross emergency duty and are eagerly discuseing the prospect of being called to the Mexi can border were given definite infor mation regarding their possible duties by J. J. O'Connor, director of the central division of the American Red Cross. "The women who have taken these emergency courses and have passed their examinations belong to the group called the "Nurses' Aid'," explained Mr. O'Connor. "They are not liable to duty outside of the country, although in case of war with Mexico, some of those capa ble of doing executive work might be called to act as directors of field hos pitals across the border. "The nurses who actually go out of our boundaries to act as Red Cross nurses are those who have had excep tional training as surgeons' assistants in operating: rooms.

Jj nurses do not have enough experience to be assigned to such duty. The value of the emergency classes would be shown conspicuously in case there were war within the United States. Chicago would then become a great hospital center for the wounded, and the "Nurses' .Aid' would be of the greatest help. "At the present time we are availing ourselves of this excellent epirit on the part of the women who want to help by giving them training in the sort of Red Cross duty that is needed con stantly in their home cities. Tliey are preparing for the disasters of peace, which are often as dreadful as those of war. Classes for working women and ror men also have been organized for Instruction in elementary hygiene and home nursing. The duties of a nurse in active war service are worse than scrubbing floors. And. moreover, no woman would be permitted under fire or in the first lines. Tliev do get in sometime hut that is in chance or exceptional cases. We especially appreciate the interest wnich has been aroused in Red Cross emergency work that has resulted in many of the women taking the courses." mere are about b000 nurses in the United States enrolled in the Red Cross. About 350 of these are from Chicago. MOTHER DEAD: BABY BORN Successful Post Mortem Caesarian Operation Is Performed. NEW YORK, March 26. A remark able instance of a successful post-mortem Caesarean operation was performed in the maternity ward of the Jersey City Hospital by Dr. Irwin Moskowltz, the assistant house physician. The operation was performed on Mrs. Mary Dooley, 34 years old. of Jersey City, who went to the hospital to await the arrival of her sixth child. Shortly after she was admitted it was discov ered that she had heart disease. Early in the afternoon Miss Bertha Woods, a nurse watching beside the bed of the patient, noticed symptoms that caused her immediately to telephone for a sur geon. This was at 1:54 o'clock, and 10 seconds later, when Dr. Moskowltz ar rived, he found Mrs. Dooley dead. As sisted by the nurse, he picked up the dead woman and rushed directly across the ward to the operating room. Short ly after the young surgeon came out of the operating room carrying a noisy nine-pound baby boy. In view of the fact that as a general rule the deaths of the mother and child under such circumstances usually occur simultaneously and because of the remarkable promptness which he displayed just 45 seconds elapsed be tween the mother's death and the birth of her son Dr. Moskowltz is being congratulated by the leading physi cians of Jersey City. The young surgeon evaded discussion of his feat. He was jubilant over the robustness of the baby and showed the little mite reposing in cotton in a cor ner of the maternity ward. The hospi tal authorities say that they remember only one instance of such an operation being successful after death. This hap pened a score or so years ago and the child, puny and undersized, died within a short time a.ier birth. ENGLISH HAND SUSPECTED Rockefeller Interests Also Declared Hehind Mexico Revolutions. CHICAGO. March 27. "Intervention by England in Mexico is more Irami nent than intervention by the United States. England's navy depends today for its oil supply on the Tamplco oil fields.

"He has been recognized by the United States as tho strongest man. who controls the mast men and th most territory. Carranza may be all right, but he has never displayed the ability demanded of the President of Mexico. And what of his followers? The ma jority of them aro uneducated, sonic are outlaws, bandits and plain crimi nals. They adhere to Carranza, but would have adhered to any leader. They will demand a return and Carranx;i must repay. "How? Money? There is none! Mex ico's surplus, which had reached its height with Diaz, has been spent ami stolen. Carranza's aids must be repaid In high positions, and sooner or later some especially greedy one will start another revolution, which will be fol lowed by another and another."
