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.

water courses. 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.

to that deck, as adjacent to the bache

Wooden Steamers Slay Soon Be

Fortunately, steel and machinery re

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
