Coal from British Columbia will be pupplied liners of the Kosmos fleet, w hich are to operate after the war from Hamburg to the Pacific Coast on the -ame basis as the fuel is sold to ves sels on Fuget Sound, and a guarantee will be executed for Cesar Wehrhahn, managing director of the line, now here, if he deems such assurance nec- Mr. Wehrhahn and Harold H. Ebey. Pacific Coast agent of the fleet, with headquarters at San Francisco, spent yesterday calling on importers. In his investigations since reaching Portland Sunday, Mr. Wehrhahn has made it plain that the exporting- feature is no longer an issue, since he . realizes that commodities that will move to Europe are fully as abundant at Portland as elsewhere on the North Pacific Coast. Import Are Brine Investigated. But what he seeks to establish is the amount of importing carried on here and what will probably be the volume nfter peace ia restored, on which hinges the resumption of service by the In terests he represents. If time is allowed the visitors will he taken to Oregon City and other lo calities . where large manufacturing plants are turning- out commodities that are classed as exports, while data and maps have already been supplied showing the vast territory contiguous to Portland. These map3 a'o Indicate in detail just what parts of the basin are so strongly related to this harbor that all exports from thoste places must pass through here and show that the residents of the distributive region are dependent, in turn, on certain commod ities listed among those that will be drawn from Europe. Shippers to Be Called On. With a direct European line in opera tion, Portlanders interested in the wel fare and upbuilding of the port will most strongly importune the importers to route their shipments direct. The practice of delivering their shipments to lines that will deposit them at San Francisco or Puget' Sound, to be moved here by railroad or the water route, is to be frowned on to such an extent that the system of purchasing through brokers at other ports will be made the subject of diligent investigation. If necessary, it is said, additional brokerage facilities will be established here, so there can be no excuse for di verting business. Naturally the coming of the Kosmos fleet hangs on the establishment of peace, but in advance of that time Mr. Wehrhahn and associates are concern ing themselves with prospective trade. this -a port of call, if not the terminus of the European fleet, efforts are being centered on affording them every op portunity to learn what there is for fr-hips to carry. XOIITIIBOUXU KATES ADVANCE Stui 1'ianeisco & Portland Line Also Eliminates Marine Insurance. Northbound rates on steamers of the '"Big Four" line are to be increased May 10, according to copies of the new tariff received here yesterday. With that information was included news that the company will depart at the amc time from its policy of includ ing1 marine insurance under the future rates, shippers being expected to pro tect themselves. The average insur ance cost is approximately 125 cents a ton. Under the new tarifT first-class rates advance from 40 to 45 cents on each 100 pounds; second-class rates from 35 to 40 cents; third-class, 30 to 35 cents; fourth-class, 22i to- 30 cents; fifth class. 16V4 to 20 cents: A, B. C and D class rates from 16,i to 20 cents, and class E rates from 13:i to 15 cents. Important changes in commodity rates are on canned goods, malt, also beans and peas, carload lots, from 12 Vs to 3 5 cents; alfalfa meal. 10 to 15 cents; dried fruit, 15 to 17 cents, and in less than ear lots, 20 to 25 cents.

The Norwegian bark Musselcrag re ciuires four men to fill out her crew and more empty berths are listed aboard the Norwegian bark Olivebank, both of which probably will be started for pea in advance of the departure of the Alice A. reit?h. The latter paid off 13 sailors last week, grivin them half of the wagres earned on the run from X-ublin to Portland, because the new .seamen's law provides that the .sailors are entitled to that amount of money due them. Captain Davison has doubts that any of the crowd paid off will re turn aboard, so estimates that he is fully 20 salts shy. I The British bark Inversrerrv has five men in a hospital and a few others suf- 1 ! ferine from beri-beri and five others , left the vessel Monday nipht, so ehe ; will have more to sign on when her cereal cargo is aboard. She and the French bark Bossuet are the only squareriggers remaining" of the grain fleet yet to receive cargo. ItASSALO rOH ASTOItIA JtUN O.-W. Ii. & N. to Overhaul Harvest ' Quceu in.

Steve McDonald, agent for the regulator line on Aider-Street dock, says that the steamer State of Washington is proving a popular paraet on tne night run. between Portland and The Dalles.

There were soft, fluffy creations. more sober sporting- hats, automobile hats, boating hats and hats for all occa sions and moods. They were all distinct ive. Lucie S. Schmidt, head of the millin ery department of the school, holds that there is a certain language in the way trimming is put on a hat and the way xt is shaped. At any rate, some of the creations on display seemed al most to speak. The entire work of constructing the hats, beginning with the frame and ending with the trimming, was done by the students of the department. In addition to the hats, there was display of other accessories, including handbags of the latest type - and con taining coin purse, card case, mirror and all the other little necessities dear to the feminine heart.

CLARK LOSES Slander Suit Against Rector Defeated on Appeal. RALSTON JUDGMENT CUT Supreme Court Refuses to Issue Mandamus for Alcohol, Pointing Out Replevin n Remedy. Other Cases Heard. SALEM. Or.. April 4. (Special.) The Supreme Court today, in an opinion by Justice Benson, affirmed the judgment of Circuit Judge Oantenbein. Multno mah County, who ruled in favor of Rev. A. A. Morrison, pastor of the Trinity Episcopal .Church, in the slander suit instituted against the clergyman by Mrs. Marcella Clark, ex-wife of A. E. Clark, a well-known Portland attor ney. The court held that the complaint did not state sufficient cause of action. In June. 1913, according to the alle gations of Mrs. Clark, Rev. Mr. Morri son declared before a number of per sons: "You are an obstreperous person and a mischief-maker and a nuisance in the parish." Mrs. Clark instituted action against the clergyman, seeking to recover $25, 000 damages which she alleged she had sustained through the pastor's alleged remarks. In deciding for Rev. Mr. Mor rison the court declared that the com plainant's allegation of having suffered loss of substantial hospitality was not sufficient to justify a recovery. Sickness Not Sufficient Basis. Justice Benson pointed out that loss of social intercourse and communion with friends could not be made the basis for special damages. Continuing, he said : "Special damages must flow from im paired reputation. It must be a loss of a pecuniary character, or loss of some substantial or material advantage. The allegation of the complaint, to be of any value, must have stated some facts from which the conclusion would fol low that there had been a loss of sub stantial hospitality. The great weight of authority is to the effect that phys- cal sickness is not an element of spe cial damages. In the case of S. G. Sargent. State Superintendent of Banks, on behalf of the creditors of the American Bank & Trust Company, insolvent, against I O. Ralston, appellant, the Supreme Court denied Ralston's petition for a rehear ing, although it altered its original opinion as to the amount of interest the banker should pay. The opinion was written by Justice Harris. Mandamus for Alcohol Denied. A few weeks ago the Supreme Court affirmed a judgment against Ralston for $24,000 for 245 shares of stock pur chased in the defunct bank. At this time the court allowed interest from May 2. 1908. equaling about $10,000. In today's opinion the court held that Ralston should pay interest only from July 10, 1915, the date of judgment against him. Writ of mandamus to compel the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany to deliver two barrels of ethyl alcohol bought of a San Francisco firm to Wadhams & Co., at Portland, was denied today by the Supreme Court. Justice Burnett, who wrote the opin ion, held that the plaintiff had a rem edy by replevin. Other decisions were: Lewis L. SmitU vs. W. G. Dwight. ap pellant, appealed from Tillamook County, suit to quiet title, opinion by Justice Bean, Judgment of former Circuit Judgo Holmes for plaintiff modified. . Henry C. Lemler vs. Rex E.

Temporary Military Occupation of Country Declared Only Passing Phase of Conflict. r.RIS. April 5. Dr. M. R. Vesnitch. Serbian minister to France, made to the Associated Press today the following statement concerning the quoted decla ration by M. Radoslavoff, the Bulgar ian Premier, to the American Jlinister at Sofia that Serbia has ceased to exist as a sovereign nation: "Premier Radoslavoff's assertion should not be taken seriously, as it is contrary to the facts and contrary to the elementary principles of interna tional law relative to the means where by the sovereignty of a nation can be extinguished. "Within the last century Prussia was Invaded. Berlin occupied, and Prussian territory divided, but no one asserted that Prussia's national sovereignty was extinguished. Any such assertion as to Serbia is infantile, for, while her territory is invaded, it is a military oc cupation and one of the first principles of international law is that military occupation does not constitute political sovereignty. feerbia as a nation retains complete sovereignty and continues to carry out all governmental functions. The tem porary military occupation is only one passing phase of the vast conflict. We believe that the Serbian army. reconstituted, will soon have a part in expelling the invader, but if a single foot of Serbian soil remains under the military authority of the invader, it will remain for a future congress of nations to determine whether its politi cal sovereignty as a part of Serbia is terminated. "Even Germany, which invented the theory that treaties were scraps of paper, never had the effrontery to as sert that Belgium or Serbia no longer had a sovereign existence. I am quite sure that M. Radoslavoff will not have to wait long to see how unfounded is his theory that Serbia does not exist." EX-MILITIAMEN TO MEET Old Company I to Hold Heunion at Hood ISiver. HOOD RIVER, Or.. April 4.

FALSE TEETH SUSPECTED Kntentc Allies Examine Dental Work From Ameriea. CHICAGO. April 4. That the allies have established a semi-blockade on false teeth was revealed today at the opening of the annual exhibit of the Dental Manufacturers' Club. Shop-made molars from America are allowed to be shipped through neutral countries to Germany, but only "after United States parcel post packages, containing the store teeth, have been opened and every bicuspid and molar examined. As more than two tons of teeth are being shipped to Europe every month, the Job of inspecting the sepa rate teeth is like counting kernels of corn.
