TIIE MOI&XIXG OREGONIATf. FRIDAY. JtXLT 26, 1918. 15 i OREGON TOL REMAIN WITH CALIFORNIA States Will Not Be Put Into Separate Vessel Inspec tion Districts. WELCOME NEWS RECEIVED Message From Secretary of Com merce Redfield Announces Ar rangement Agreeable to Ixj r cal Business Interests. Oregon and California will remain in the name steam vessel inspection dis trict under the provisions of a bill passed recently by Congress, providing for a division of the present western district, so the 11th district could be formed. With Oregon and California will be included the Hawaiian Islands, Captain John K. Bulger, the present supervising inspector, remaining in charge. In a telegram from Secretary of Com merce Redfield H. L. Corbett, president of the Chamber of Commerce, was in formed that Oregqn was to remain in the district with the Bear etate and the Hawaiian group. That means, ac cording to surmises locally, that the 11th district will comprise Washington and Alaska, so another supervising in spector will be named there. Nfn Agrreeable to All. The' information was agreeable to mariners and the Chamber of Com merce, as a petition was drawn yester day asking Secretary Redfield to make such an arrangement. Besides the Chamber, the Port of Portland Commis sion, the Commission of Public Docks, City Commission and other bodies con cerned themselves in the matter, a. con certed movement having been started to keep Oregon in the present organiza tion. The principal argument is that ves sels operating regularly out of Port land and the Columbia River in the coastwise and deepwater trade are con trolled at San Francisco, with none owned on Puget Sound that have to do with the trade. Also It is held that since the establishment of the in spection eervice on the Pacific, San Francisco has been headquarters, and it was desired that the same com munity of interests be maintained. More Inspectors Needed. On the visit last week of Captain Bulger he said the Portland office's re sponsibilities had grown to such an extent, owing to the shipbuilding in dustry, that he had recommended the assignment of six more assistant in spectors ajid two clerks. The force at present is made up of Captain K. S. Kdwards, United States Inspector of Hulls; John Wynn, United States In spector of Boilers; Captain Edthofer, assistant inspector of hulls; George Q. Weldon, assistant inspector of boilers, and Arthur Merrill, chief clerk. For three years efforts have been made to pass the bill having for Its ob ject a division of the district, and each time the project was defeated, Port land interests always opposing its passage unless an undertaking was reached that Oregon would continue under the same control as California. INSPECTION 15 TODAY DOCK COMMISSION TO VIEW JOHNS TERMINAL PROJECT. ST. One Acre Adjoining Orain Elevator Site Leased by W. Ft. Bagot for Jew Flonr Mill. Members of the Commission of Public Docks will transact business at an ad journed meeting this morning while inspecting the St. Johns Municipal ter minal, yesterday's session having ter minated with the understanding that today's visit would be-an adjourned gathering. The purpose of the trip is to look over features of a fill being made there by the Government dredge Multnomah and the Port of Portland dredge Columbia, both of which will be withdrawn in a few days, as channel work precludes vhem being continued at the task until all of the area is filled. A leasj was ordered entered into yesterday 'with V. R. Bagot for one acre of land adjoining the grain ele vator site on which he is to erect a flour mill, work to be started at once. Minor features of the lease are to be prepared by Ralph Moody, attorney for Mr. Bagot, and Deputy CUr Attorney Tomlinson, the instrument being final ly executed on behalf of the Commis sion by C. B. Mooree, chairman, and G. B- Hegardt, secretary and chief en gineer. To the- Warren Construction Com-t pany was awarded a contract for pav ing less than 1000 feet of roadway leading to the St. Johi.s site from the county road. A permit was granted to the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corpo ration for the construction of a new machine shop and blacksmith shop, which were provided for eome time ago and are in conjunction with the construction of two additional ship ways at me yard. Regarding space beneath the west approach of the Broadway bridge, used by Albers Brothers Milling Company, on which a yearly rental of S1O87.S0 was fixed by the Commission, to which the company objected on the ground it had spent considerable money improv ing the property and its value was only lor a roadway, while now the Govern ment insisted on a watchman being stationed there, the Commission refused to alter the rental.

HOUSING COMMITTEE TO ACT Chamber Proposes Means to In crease Homes and Regulate Rents. To Influence Portlanders , to build homes and establish a guarantee that workers employed by the Government are to pay only a fair rental for prop erty occupied under lease, the Chamber of Commerce has taken another step in the housing situation in suggesting that a committee be named by Lloyd J. Wentworth, supervisor of wooden ship construction, to take up the matter, also to establish a housing bureau in connection with the office of the Emer gency Fleet Corporation, and the Cham ber offers to assign a man to make such investigations, as the committee may direct. Property owners in some instances have held back starting dwellings be cause of the cost of material and labor, also that returns on completed houses do not justify the venture. On the other hand, it is reported there have been cases of alleged excessive rental charged, and one duty proposed for the committee is to investigate such com plaints. SLOUGH DECISION' IS DELAYED Consideration of Report Continued Until "cxt Monday Afternoon. Further consideration accorded by the Port of Portland Commission to the matter of damming Columbia Slough, permission to do which is asked by Multnomah Drainage District No. . 2, resulted in no decision being reached yesterday, the commission re ceiving the report of a committee and ordering it filed, and an adjournment was taken until 3 o'clock Monday aft ernoon. Among those who spoke yesterday against the slough being closed were W. M. Kllltngsworth. W. H. Fowler, C. A. McKenna and C. L. McKenna, while J. O. Klrod, one of the supervisors of the district; W. M. Brown, chief engi neer, and County Horticulturist Hall spoke in favor of the project, which Is intended to reclaim considerable acre age adjacent to the slough and east of Union avenue. BUKXER MAKES NEW RECORD J. E. Stewart, Lacking Arm and Leg, Performs Feat With Torch. Burning -the full length of a steel plate 33 feet and eight inches long in 23 minutes and 30 seconds, using an acetylene burner, is what J. E. Stewart, a burner employed at the plant of the Northwest Steel Company, did yester day. Recently Mr. Stewart made a similar run. but in slightly longer time. The plate was about one inch too wide for the purpose for which it was in tended and was too large to be planed. so the burning was resorted to. As Mr. Stewart has one leg and one arm, yesterday's work, which is un usually fast under any conditions, is viewed as all the more remarkable. So much was thought of the speed that a message was sent to the Emergency Fleet News. COOS YARD INCREASES CREW Buehner Plant Asks for 160 Soldiers to Speed Up Work. MARSH FIELD, Or., July 25. (Spe cial.) The Coos Bay Shipbuilding Com pany has put on a night shift of fas teners on the new Ferris type vessels. The crew numbers about 00 and prob ably will be increased until the work is well ahead of the other workmen The Buehner Lumber Company, of North Bend, has called for 160 soldiers and it is expected that this industry is about to double shifts. COUNTY JAIL QUARANTINED Supposed Smallpox Epidemic Xcces sitates" Precaution. Strict quarantine was placed about the County Jail by Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday because of a reported small pox epidemic in one of the jail corrl dors. Five prisoners have already been sent to the smallpox detention camp. Others in jail were vaccinated by coun ty medical authorities yesterday. In placing a quarantine over the jail, Sheriff Hurlburt said it was done mere ly as a precautionary measure. Physi- ians who have examined the five cases disagree, some calling the disease chickenpox. None of the cases is se vere and the Sheriff believes there is no cause for alarm. The five men who have been removed from the jail to the quarantine camp are H. H. Bradley, serving a nine months' sentence on a state charge Geocge Ham, Otto Tappameyer, Sam Holder ana . xu. enea, ecierai pri soners. The three jailors were all in the jail when the quarantine was established and they will be compelled to observe the regulations with the prisoners. No visitors will be allowed in the jail un til the quarantine is lifted, and those prisoners whose terms will expire shortly must likewise remain in con finement for a week or two longer, GRANGE PICNIC TOMORROW Annual Farmers' Field Day Will Be Held at Gresham.

Orego- HON SMASH SOOTH OF SOISSONS LOOMS Losses of Germans in Recent ta a a aaa a a bauies tstimatea as High as 225,000. YANKEE GUNS PUSH AHEAD Military Students Discredit Proba bility of Early Counter by Bodies on a- Big Scale Supply Problem Is Serious. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, July 25. (By the Associated Press.) It would be no surprise if the battle between the Alsne and Marne ends soon, or If the Crown Prince should force operations in a new phase by massing troops for a tremendous counter attack on a new part of the battle front, perhaps the flank south of Soissons, where the Her mans already have offered such deter mined resistance. Although outwitted by the Btrategy f General Foch and outfought by the Franco-American commanders, there is o disposition to underestimate the anger of the staggering uerman ar mies striking another terrible blow on ither flank. The losses of the Germans have been enormous. They are estimated to range between 150,000 and 226,000. But it is obvious to all except enthusiastic optimists that the hard-fighting Ger man armies are not too crippled to at- empt retaliation once they are in posi tions chosen by the commanders. Another Smash I Es pee ted. What lines the Germans will select for a nejv stand is merely conjecture, but it is believed the logical place will be that long plateau southeast of Sois- ons. running toward the Ardre River and to the junction of the present lino from Rheims. If the Ardre Is no. chosen, the Crown Prince has the choice of the valley of Vesle or even the old line along the Alsne. It is believed to be probable that the Crown Prince will choose the Vesle re gion, where the forests and hills west of Rheims toward Soissons would make him relatively safe for the moment That he intends abandoning the terri tory at the bottom of the pocket that rested on the Marne is evident. It is equally evident that he has been forced euch a course by the reduction oi his number of lines of supply. It is estimated that the Germans had mobilized here between half a million and 600,000 men. To maintain a supply for these men, even with all transport resources, was no simple task, and the working out of General Foch's plans have made the positions untenable. There has been a fierce battle in prog ress for the highways and railroad. with the hope on the part of the allieB, perhaps, to close the mouth of the sack and smother the Germans. It is be lieved, however, that the Germans will be ablejto get out of their position with the greater part of their army. Although the Germans have been frightfully punished on the line north of the Marne, the retreat to where they are now was not due to this punish ment but was made Imperative by the slowly closing flanks, from which the big guns daily are reaching further toward the German munitions arteries. The operations of today brought the town of Fere-en-Tardenois within striking distance of the heavy guns. and unless it is successfully defended a retreat necessarily must be hurried. In that region the Germans have a number of light railways. These, once out of commission, would leave the Germans no choice but to hasten backward. Hasty Action, Not Kxpected. Military students discredit somewhat the probability of an early counter by the Germans on a big scale, especially on the Soissons flank. They point out that the Germans seldom plan hurried ly, desiring time to deliberate as to their movements. These students say it la more probable the Germans will be content with flattening out and read justing and restrengthening their line in a new position. There is reason to believe that the personnel of the Crown Prince's organ ization has not been materially al tered, although it is presumed there must have been heavy replacements in It, made necessary by the terrible losses sustained. In the north. Generals von Eben and Walter are responsible for the opera tions on the front of the Soissons flank. The remainder of the sector is being cared for by General von Boehm, his subcommanders. Including Von Wlnckler, Von Schoeler. Von Kothen. Von VlcHurd and Von Schlehow. Gen eral von Eben's section includes the 13th army and General von Boehm's the eighth army. FORMER PASTOR DEAD DR. K. R. MAHVIM DIES AT TO IX HIS HOMK AT ALBANY. K. Y. Divine Was With First Congregational In Portland la 18S2-1883 Pulpit Orator Also Physician. Word has been received in Portland of the death at Albany, N. Y., last Mon day of Dr. Frederic Rowland Marvin, who was pastor of the First Congre gational Church of Portland from 1882 to 1886. Dr. Marvin had been in ill health for several years, and his death was not unexpected, lie was 70 years old. Dr. Marvin is remembered by pioneer residents of Portland as having been forceful pulpit orator, and during his residence in Portland he took a most active part in the city's religious af fairs. Dr. Marvin came to Portland from Middletown. N. Y., in April. 1882. and remained until July, 1885. when he re turned to his native state of New York where he had since resided. Dr. Marvin was a distinguished mag azine writer and had published a num ber of books. He was a doctor of med icine in addition to being a minister. After leaving Portland and returning KaBt, Dr. Marvin retired from an active life in the ministry and devoted much of his attention to the medical profes sion. He was always ready, however, to take his place in the pulpit at any time he was called upon to do so. and he had always been a tireless and sealous worker at anything he undertook. Dr. Marvin was burled in an Albany, N. Y., cemetery yesterday afternoon. . Fire Does (small Damage. fire, presumed to have started from overheated castings, broke out In the Leach Bros.' Iron Works.

DAY HOME FROM EAST Double Diagonal Sheatlilng Will lie Used Xorthwcst's Record Is Recognized by Km-rgcncy Fleet Heads. Wooden ships for the Emergency Fleet Corporation will be built by the Kiernan & Kern Shipbuilding com pany as long as there is a demand for that class of construction. The ves sels will have double diagonal sheath ing over the outside of the frames, the same as the steamer John Kiernan, now being finished there, and as composite vessels being turned out at the fauppie & Ballin plant. I. N. Day, superintendent of the Kier nan & Kern yard, has returned irom Washington after an absence since Spring, and is more enthusiastic re garding , the wooden ship programme than ever. He says the Northwest's record for speed in turning out ships is fully recognized and appreciated at Washington and the Philadelphia head quarters of the Emergency Fleet. "I was in Philadelphia the days Charles M. Schwab and Charles Pies, of the Emergency Fleet, were at Port land, and their daily reports of yard inspections and special features of their trip caused more compliments for the Oregon district than you can im agine," said Mr. Day. "Favorable comment telegraphed East by the heads of the organisation showed how satisfied they were as to what head way was being made, and there is no question about them depending on the Northwest for wooden ships." Concerning the ships his company will undertake, Mr. Day said it would be a few days before all details were worked out in the East, but that an understanding had been reached as to the part the company is to play in the great war game. Plans and specifications for the Daugherty type of wooden ship have not been finished at the Philadelphia headquarters, while the Columbia River type of wooden steamer of 6000 tons capacity, which is now being de signed here, will be ready for the In spection of the Emergency Fleet tech nical experts in a few weeks. Just what type is to be started at the Kiernan & Kern yards Mr. Day did not divulge, only saying that the hull will have double diagonal sheathing. It is known that last year the Kier nan & Kern interests submitted an In dependent plan to the Emergency Fleet Corporation, that providing for the use of the sheathing instead of metal strap ping. The steamer Daniel Kern is classed as one of the staunchest as well as largest of wooden steam schooners and the company used the sheathing in her construction. Tides High. 3:01 A. M R.8 4:01 P.
