Are you having trouble Motorists Arrested on Pacific Highway Swear They Were . Within Speed Limit. MANY COMPLAINTS HEARD C. H. Mead, of Portland Speedom eter Station, Formerly Agent for Instrument Used by Official, Says Sale Is Discontinued. The Injustice of making a cheap speedometer, installed as part of the equipment of a cheap automobile, the criterion of speed on the Columbia River Highway when it disputed high priced, multiple-jeweled instruments, was an issue in the court of District Judge Dayton yesterday, with the re sult that the court refused to hear eight speeding cases until a reliable test is made of the speedometer on the car of Special Officer H. P. Taylor, of the roadmaster's office. . Julius L. Meier was one who called the reliability of the speedometer into question. "He said I was going 30, but I was going 23: or If anything a little less," said Mr. Meier. Mrs. Fred Nowotny was a witness for her husband, who was charged with speeding. She said that the arresting officer had consented to a trial run after the arrest, and that when both machines traveled abreast the officer's speedometer registered over 23, and the one on Mr. Nowotny's car 21 miles. Expert Pat on Stand. As part of Mr. Nowotny's defense, C. H. Mead, of the Portland Speedom eter Station, local agent for the instru ments in question, took the stand. It was not the first time he had been called on a speed case, but in other in stances he had been called by the pros ecution to testify to the accuracy of their instruments. "The type of -instrument used by Mr. Taylor is unreliable, and its sale has been discontinued," said Mr. Mead. "The bearings will not stand wear, and the machine loses its accuracy rapidly. For the past few weeks I have had an unusual number of complaints from automobile owners who declare their instruments show too slow and have been responsible for their arrest on the highway. "This is a new condition and had not prevailed when there were only motorcycle men on the highway." Mr. Taylor has tested his speedom eter only by comparison with tested instruments on motorcycles, as there has been no apparatus capable of giv ing a correct test of the old make of speedometer he is using, in Portland. Complaints Are Numerous. The advent of the motor car speed catcher on the highway has resulted in numerous arrests and many complaints. Most of these have been from persons who have sworn that their speedome ters showed less than the officer's. Others come from people who assert that the officer honks tantalizingly to his victim, in apparent challenge to a race with his cheap machine, and makes the arrest when the gage is accepted and the speed limit overreached. "If the officer's speedometer is not reliable, it is unfair to the public that arrests should be made on its records," taid Judge Dayton. "All cases will be postponed until Friday." The sad part of it is that no one who has paid a fine can get a refund if the speedometer is found to be inaccurate. Those whose cases will come up Fri day are Julius JL,. Meier, J. P. Keil, Fred Nowotny, A. G. Mason, A. E. Jack son, E. A. Fearing, Jr., B. W. Luscher and Fred Stuart. HUGHES WELL BACKED 5ETITORT ALLIANCE STARTS WITH MORE THAN 1(H) MEMBERS. Temporary President Declares Lincoln Countr Stirred "With Patri otic Zeal. NEWPORT. Or., Sept 2a. (Special.) A local Hughes Alliance was organ ized Friday evening with a petition membership exceeding The follow ing officers were elected at the tempo rary organization: President, F. M. Car ter; vice-president, Mrs. A. L. Schwartz: secretary, W. A. Waterbury; treasurer, J. H. H. Anderson. "As soon as possible a permanent or ganization will be effected. Then we will receive our charter and will be ready to take our part in the Hughes campaign. "The Hughes and Fairbanks spirit Is p.live In Lincoln County. The fine, thoughtful, patriotic speeches that Mr. Highes is making in the campaign take with the people. Every word glistens with true Americanism and is free from sophistry. Mr. Hughes uses simple lan guage and does not mince matters," de clared Mr. Carter. "In all great crises of our Nation the right man comes forward at the right time. In the American Revolution It was George Washington. In the Civil War, it was Abraham Lincoln, and new our present crisis, it ljoks as though It would be Charles Evans Hughes. "I have faith in the American people and believe our country will go for ward and overcome all difficulties, and will continue to be as it has been in the past, the greatest Nation on earth."

Near the snowline the timber thins to a scraggly array of "ghost trees" and stunted larches. The chances for fatal or crippling accidents are plentiful where zigzag the glacier winds down the mountain. Yet the perils proper of the moun tain appeared yesterday to have been safely passed by the lost couple, and their lives now hang on the limit of their endurance. Without proper cloth ing, without fire and without food, the test is one which might well bring the hardiest of mountaineers to distress. Trip Is First of Importance. Mr. and Mrs. Edlefsen were merely tyros at mountaineering, making their first important climb. Although hope had not been abandoned last night, ex perienced mountaineers stated frankly that the odds were heavy for a tragic finale. Brenton Benson and F. A. Jensen, who had climbed the mountain earlier in the day, saw Mr. and Mrs. Edlefsen at Crater Rock on their return. The couple walked a short distance with the men toward Government Camp, but soon lagged behind.- As Mr. Jensen and Mr. Benson entered the timber they saw the Edlefsens coming steadily about a mile back of them. They had no idea that the couple would lose their way or they would have waited tor them. Mr. Benson and Mr. Jensen returned to Portland Sunday night. It was the opinion of Mr. Coalman that another nighf" on the mountain would very probably cause the death of the lost couple, if they escaped the danger of the crevasses, pitfalls with which the south flank of Mount Hood is rife. "Two things are possible," said Mr. Coalman, telephoning from Government Camp, "either they have gone into a crevass or they may be working their way down some of the water courses. The location of the footprints found along Sand Canyon seems to confirm the latter theory, for the course taken would lead to the Zigzag River and thence to its junction with the Sandy River. Hope Lies In Endurance. Hope is pinned on the fact that the Edlefsens are now below timber line. where the close growth of evergreen timber will afford them some shelter from the gale. In this case, it was Mr. Coalman's opinion, they might be able to withstand another night without succumbing. At 5 P. M. yesterday, when the searching party returned, a blanket of fog. rain and snow obscured the moun tain. The members of the party were: Charles Cable, Vern Rogers, Dell Fox, George Ledford, Albert Scotui and C. O. Tawney. They had not ceased nor retraced their steps until driven to tamp by unbearable fatigue. Prepara tions were at once made to kindle the three beacon fires that flared from the ridges above camp last night. The two Edlefsen children, a boy and girl, 7 and 6 years old, are in the care of friends at Government Camp, where they were left by the parents when the attempt to scale the mountain was begun. Mr. Edlefsen is associated with his brothers in the Edlefsen Fuel Company, of this city, as vice-president and man ager, and is of wide prominence In the business world. The home is at 1215 Cleveland avenue. MAZAMAS READY TO RESCUE Frank Riley Believes Edlefsens Are Safe, but Admits Dangers. If volunteers are needed to aid In the work of rescuing Mr. and Mrs. Edlefsen, the Mazamas can organize a party of 12. 15 or more men, said Frank B. Riley, president of the Mazama So ciety, last night. Mr. Riley was hopeful, however, that the Edlefsens had wandered to a place of safety and that they will be found alive and well as soon as they can get into communication with the outside world. While not unmindful of the dangers confronting inexperienced persons de scending the mountain. Mr. Riley says that the couple need not necessarily be lost. It Is quite possible, he explains, that they descended along the glacier to timber line, in which case they would be sheltered from the storm and would be in a fair way to permanent safety.

PORTLAND FIRMS TO BID Union Iron Works, of San Fran cisco, After Contract Big Liner to Be Held at Coos Bay Un til Contractor Is Named. Rush of new vessels at San Francisco and on Puget Sound Is not to deter the management of steel shipbuilding yards from trying to get the lob of repair ing the big liner Congress, of the Pa cini: Coast Steamship Company's flag, now at Coos Bay. where she was towed after being gutted by a Are at sea, September 14. Information from San Francisco Is that the Union iron Works has sent George A. Armes. chief engineer of the corporation, to Coos Bay to go over the Congress and obtain an idea of the ex tent of the damage and what gear, equipment and furnishings must be re placed. About the same time J. J. Tynan, general manager of the com pany, left for New York to endeavor to hurry steel shipments, which have been delayed. , It is estimated that the cost of re habilitating the Congress will' be 900. 000. almost the cost of steel freighters now being built at San Francisco, Port land and Puget Sound, so it is reasoned the job will be fully as attractive as bidding for the construction of a new ship. Two Portland plants, the Albina Engine & Machine Works, which Is now finishing the Japanese steamer Kenkon Maru, a Jl'5,000 contract, and the Vul can Iron Works, may bid on the Con gress, and there probably will be North ern firms anxious to do the work. E. W Wright, manager of the Port of Portland, has gone to Coos Bay, the tug Oneonta being there to assist in handling the Congress. Her services were requested the night of the fire, the understanding being that she was to tow the Congress to Seattle, the tug Tyee later being sent there as well. After the tugs reached the scene it was decided to shift the vessel where she anchored- off the entrance inside the bay. resulting then in a decision to cail for proposals for repairs where she lay. the successful bidder to deliver her to his plant. The Oneonta was sent there with the understanding that a lump sum would be paid if she towed the Congress to Puget Sound or a charge made for each day she was held. When the Congress was taken In tow by the tugs her anchor was "slipped," the chain being let go and buoyed, so now arrange ments are being made to recover the anchor. MAKAYVELI HEADY FOR CARGO Three L-nmber Carriers Constitute Offshore Lumber Fleet in River. Repairs to the barkentlne Makawell being finished, she towed downstream last night, bound for Westport, where a full cargo of lumber awaits her that is to be transported to Australia on ac count of Hind, Rolph & Co. The Maka well reached the river September 6 from Port Allen and since has been dry docked and had considerable work done on deck and to the tophamper. With the schooner Geo. E. Billings In September 20 from Sydney and which is loading a return cargo, and the aux iliary schooner June, at the Portland mill, working lumber for Balboa, the fleet In the river of deepwater lumber men is complete. A few charters have been made this month, principally for North Pacific loading, the -exact, ports not being announced as yet. BACHELOR BECK FEATURED Quarters Resembling Clubrooms Ap peal to Single Men. Single men patronizing the turbiners Northern Pacific and Great Northern, on the Portland-San Francisco route, have learned that rooms 1 to 15 occupy what is known aboard as the bachelor deck, so they are In demand among the set not having domestic responsibili ties. Especially are clubmen drawn to that deck, as adjacent to the bache lor quarters are libraries, drawing and smoking-rooms, each with most attrac tive fireplaces, so they afford most In viting lounging places at night when there is any chill In the atmosphere of the Pacific. The Northern Pacific, Captain Hun ter, which reached Flavel Sunday from the Golden Gate, leaves on the return penoo. , (..y.rr-l STEEIi STOC1CS ARE NOT IiAKGE $ ' if Wooden Steamers Slay Soon Be Brought Out for General Trade. Fortunately, steel and machinery re quired for vessels contracted for at Portland has been fully ordered; In fact, it is said there is abundant to insure considerable extra material be ing available, but eat least one steel firm" is said to have received instruc tions not to accept orders for delivery of material in advance of two years from the present time. As that situation will have no effect on the wooden shipbuilding industry, the only metal parts for that work being fastenings and the machinery, it Is expected to give impetus both to auxiliary vessels and wooden steamers. There is a growing conviction that a new type of ship is to be brought out soon of composite construction because of the Inability of yards to fill the de mand for all-steel carriers on com paratively early delivery. The success of the wooden steam schooner on the Pacific is regarded a strong argument in favor of wooden carriers for the general trade that could be turned out of greater length and beam and with 'tweendecks. SQTjAnElXIGGER SCORNS TOW a SKipper 01 inaiana, name r rom Alaska, Sails Gracefully to Berth. SAN KHAN-CISCO, Sept. 25. Trans bay traffic, carrying 25.000 commuters to unromantlc toll in San Francisco, had a thrill today, when the full-rigged ship Indiana. 17 days out from Karluk, Alaska, came into harbor here under her own sail. Backed by a stiff breeze, the Indiana swept through the Golden Gate, turned a right angle corner at Alcatras Island, and edged past the Perry building to her anchorage. while ferry boats twisted themselves out of her way and sirens and tug whistles roared ap proval. About once in ten years, ma rine authorities say. a sailing vessel makes her berth, here without being towed In. Sale Xcts Neat Profit. Late advices from the south are that the Hammond Lumber Company re ceived $725,000 for the steamer Edgar II. Vance, which has been sold to Nor wegians for delivery In December. Her cost when built in 1913. at Long Beach, Cal., was $425,000. The company pre viously sold the General Hubbard and Geo. W. Fenwick to Norwegians. Their new steamer Santiam. built at Eureka, has been towed to San Francisco for machinery Installation, and her sister ship, the Flazel, will be there for ma chinery in a few weeks.
