ILL LAUNCHED IS 28TH ALCIS SEXT DOWX WAYS AT GRANT SMITH-PORTER YARDS. Six Vessels Still in Various Stages of Construction Mrs. V. T. Gibson Acts as Sponsor. Alcis was the name under which the I8th wooden hull glided into the water at the St. Johns plant of the Grant, Smith Porter Ship Company at 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon, and Mrs. W. T. Gib son lent her efforts to the success of the event as sponsor, cliristenii.gr the bis gray vessel in an easy, confident manner. With the release of the Alcis from the shore berth there was a second set of ways vacated, leaving six occupied with hulls in various stages of con struction. "When the last of those is afloat, finis will be written on the im portant chapter that plant has con tributed to the history of the Emer gency Fleet Corporation. Mrs. Gibson expressed profound pleasure when presented with a. bouquet of red and white carnations preceding the launching, but was unp.epared for the later presentation of a beautiful broach, set with sapphires and pearls. Mr. Gibson represents the American Bureau of Shipping, which society classifies the wood fchips and some of the steel carriers built here. With the Alcis riding at ease in the water, the launching party was escorted to the clubhouse for another surprise in the way of lunch, which was attended by Mrs. Gibson. Mrs. A. II. Bryant, Mrs. Edwards J. Tuck, Miss Nellie Lamont, Mrs. P. M. Carlson, Mrs. George Teufel, George Teufel, Jr., Mrs. Alvin Johnson, Miss Ida Johnson. Mrs. Walter Bennett, Miss Minnie Smith, Miss Winifred Mitchell, Miss Marion Mitchell, Mrs. I,. K. Price, Mrs. McGuffy, Mrs. Albert Schmidt, Mrs. S. M. Ilamby, Bruce Hamby, -E. K. Throsby and George W. McBride. 16 LOCAL SHIPS DELAYED GOVERNMENT ORDER AFFECTS VESSELS IN STEEL YARDS. Standifer Plant Not Included, and AVork on Four Contracts Is Being Continued. Of 137- steel ships on which work has been ordered suspended at different yards in the United tSates, 16 of the vessels were under contract here, the original list -at Portland having In cluded 20, but four were reinstated. It was first thought some of the ships at the Standifer plant would' be included, but that yard was excluded from the list and the suspension now affects eight ships at the Northwest Steel Com pany, four at the Columbia River Ship building Corporation and four at tha Albina Engine & Machine Works. A complete list of the plants receiv ing suspension orders and the number of vessels at each on which operations were suspended, follows: Chester Sh ipbutldinjr Company, Ltd., Chester, Pa., 7: Terry shipbuilding Corpora tion, Port Wentworth, Savannah, Ga., 0; Mobile Shipbuilding Company, Mobile. Ala.. 12; American International Shipbuilding Cor poration Hog Island, Pa., '2'): Merchants' Shipbuilding Corporation, Harriman, Pa., yu; Ames Shipbuilding & Drydock Company, Seattle, Wash., 6; J. F. Dutbie & Co., Se attle, Wash., o; Todd Urydock & Construc tion Corporation, Tacoma. Wash., 12; Los Angeles Shipbuilding & Drydock Company. San Pedro, Cal., lu; Long Beach Shipbuild ing Company.

Cal.. 4; Southwestern Shipbuilding Company, Long Beach, Cat., 8; Albina Kngine Jk Ma chine Works, Inc., Portland, or., 4; North west Steel Company. Portland, Or., S; Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation. Portland, Or., 4. Unless Congress is willing to appro priate funds with which to complete the merchant marine programme it is the view of some builders that the suspen sion orders must be followed by. can cellations. Their assumption is due to the understanding that there are not sufficient funds now at the disposal of the Shipping Board to pay for the car riers under contract. The fact that four of the Portland ships have been replaced on the active list is accepted as indicating there may not be cancellations of all now reported, as yards showing the ma terial situation Is favorable to comple tion of the vessels are regarded as in a fair way to receive consideration. Whether larger vessels will be sub stituted is to be determined, probably by Congress, as it appears to Portland builders to be wholly a financial propo sition. DEAD OFFICER KNOWN HERE BRIGADIER-GENERAL) JOHN M WILSON KNOWN TO PIONEERS. Construction of Forts Canby and "Stevens In 1862-3 in Charge of Tbcn Lieutenant. Brigadier-General John Moulder Wil son, el, who died in Washington, D. C, Monday, was well-known to pioneer Portlanders. He was in charge of the construction of Forts Canby and Stev ens, and a cousin by marriage of Will iam G. Oberteuffer. 742 Kverett street. General Wilson, who was a Lieuten ant, and cut a prominent figure in Portland society in 1S62 and 1S63, was a close friend of Henry C. Corbett, and made his home at the residence of Henry Failing. Captains Couch and Flanders, after whom two streets in North Portland have been named, also were among his friends. Lieutenant Wilson was cent to Ore gon shortly after his graduation from West Point in 1860. His work here gave him a love for the Columbia River and its adjacent territory which he never lost. At the time of his death he was one of the oldest living gradu ates of West Point. He served as superintendent of West Point, and later served on a commis sion of five persons who settled the Pennsylvania coal mine strike. He retired April 30, 1901.' Seven More Ships Released. WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Seven more ships were transferred by the Shipping Board today from war service to com mercial trade routes. CITY OFFICIALS VISIT mm CHINATOWN Steel-Barred Doors and Secret Panels Are Inspected. INTERIOR PASSAGES PUZZLE Major Baker and Commissioners Take Notes to Prepare Ordinance to Put End to Gambling. While owlish-eyed Celestials etood by muttering to each other and to themselves In wonderment. Mayor Baker and other city officials stalked, stumbled and at times fairly crept through the subterranean labyrinth of Portland's Chinatown yesterday, view ing the great steel-barred doors, secret panels, and carpeted stairways leading to the rooms in which the festive Ori ental is said nightly to woo Dame Fortune by the medium of fan-tan and other games of chance. Tho visit to Chinatown was prelim inary to legislation which Mayor Baker Is planning to Introduce In an effort to put an end to gambling among the Chinese of the city. City Commis sioners Bigelow, Mann and Perkins were members of the "slumming party." Violation Is Noted. Commissioner Mann caw violations of health and sanitation lawn In vir tually all of the 20 places in which the party entered. Kvery violation of ex isting fire laws was disclosed to Com missioner Bigelow, who kept himself busy dodging undersized doorways and jotting down addresses in his note book. Heavy doors of wooden construction, secret panels operated by mysterious methods known only to the Chinese and police officials who have been de tailed on the Chinatown beat for years, which had been rammed and battered in recent raids, were shown to the offi cial party. Complex Interior Visited. Among the principal items of In terest were the clever devices used by the Chinese to escape from a gambling room when a raid is conducted. The party was taken Into one establish ment on Second street, led through a long- passageway which was broken every few feet by doors' or gates, into the gambling room, thence up a secret ladder, into another room, where a panel served as an exit to a stairway which led to still another room. From there members of the party made their way to the street from a different building entirely. The visit became unusually realistic when Police Lieutenant Thatcher and Sergeant Van Overn led the party into an opium den on North Fourteenth street, where one - -ed Chinese lay in a stupor a:.d another was preparing to smoke the uream-producing weed. Opium Veteran Takes Smoke. As the r-embers of the party stood arouhd a cot, Lee Sing. C8 years old, "rolled a pill" and smoked opium. This P-.rticular Chinese has been arrested 24 times by the police and federal offi cials to no avail. Once a wealthy man; today ne is a pauper, according to the police. Careful watch is made to arre t all opium smokers, but because of Sing's age, he has become virtually immune from arrest. An ordinance prohibiting all u; dcr ground anc secret passageways, barred and panel doors of all discriptions in any building. Is being prepared by I.layor Baker as the means of sound ing the death knell for gambling in Chinatown. Under the present con ditions it becomes almost impossible for police officers to reach the gam bling rooms before the gamblers have abandoned the rooms and carried the gambling paraphernalia with them. Ordinance la . Favored. Chief of Police Johnson, who was a member of the party yesterday, stated that with an ordinince in effect, as proposed by Mayor Baker, ling stridjs can be takea in stopping gamblirg in Cl.-natown. "We do not permit Americans to barricade doors or build secret pr.ssage Wi.yt for the purpose of gambling,' said aiayor tsaKer, "and I see - reason. iui aiiuwiiiii vile vlllliese 10 ao so. The vUi: which was perhaps the first of a chief executive of Portland to the underground quarters of the gamblers, consumed the greater part of tr aiternoon. frequently the party entered a building on one street and eventually found itself emerging from anotner building on another street.

FORE AND AFT TYPE LIKED Weight Added to Contention of Ship builders That There Is Room for These Boats In Sea Traffic. Sale of tha four-masted schooner Else by tha Else Shipping Company, of Portland, to the I'acific Freighters Company, of San Francisco, was an nounced yesterday. The Else Shipping Company Is controlled by A. O. Ander son & Co. and Comyn. Mackall & Co., of San Francisco, are managers of the Pacific Freighters Company. The Else is listed for Portland from Sydney by way of Tonga Island. Tho transfer of the Else, following the sale last week of the Portland owned schooner W. H. Marston. which was controlled by 11. K. Pcnnell. and tho disposal of others of tho Pacific fleet recently, lias added weight to the contention of wooden shipbuilders and operators that the Pacific Coast types of "fore and aft" sailers and auxiliary schooners are in active demand today and that their construction could be undertaken profitably. I ho ,lse came into existence soon after the outbreak of the war, having been constructed at Tacoma by Bar bare Bros. Her operation Is said to have been most successful. Today A. O. Anderson Ai Co. have only four of the new auxiliary fleet for operation under the direction of tho Portland office, the Erris and Esperance, built by the Peninsula Shipbuilding Com pany; the Carmen, turned out by the McEachern Ship Company at Astoria, and the General Pershing, which was built on Puget Sound by the Wash ington Shipbuilding Company. The Portland, which was built on FuRet Sound and operated by the same in terests, was burned at sea. and of eight built by the McEachern force the Car men is the only one remaining unsold. The seven vessels transferred Include the Margaret, Astoria, Astrt. Madru gada, Pelisan, Pauline and Evelyn. The Pelican, though transferred, continues to be operated by the New York office. Three built on Grays Harbor, the Wergeland, Horsenaes and Hjcltnas. all placed in operation by A. O. Ander son & Co., have been disposed of also. The McCormlck fleet, which was made up of the auxiliary schooners City of Portland and City of St, Hel ens, as well as the topmast schooner John W. Wells, all built by the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, were sold during the past few months, while the auxiliary schooner S. 1. Allard, turned out there for the same flag, was lost on the Cuban coast. Four auxili aries built for sale by the Peninsula Shipbuilding Company also passed into other hands. TACOMA COMMISSIONERS HERE Port Officials View I'acilities of Harbor En Route South. Port of Tacoma Commissioners were entertained yesterday by members of the Commission of Public Docks, the morning being spent in an inspection of the St. Johns municipal terminal. At luncheon the visitors were guests of the Dock Commission at the Ben son Hotel and in the afternoon they were escorted over the Columbia High way. The party is here on the first stop of a trip along the Coast to ascertain what other harbors are doing, as Ta c,oma intends adding to its harbor fa cilities with piers and slips on the Herring plan. A waterway 1000 feet wide is to be maintained, with piers and slips at an angle of 45 degrees and S00 to 900 feet long. The visitors will spend today at As toria, going over the property of the Port of Astoria Commission. Frank Walsh, chief engineer of the Port of Tacoma, formerly served in the same capacity with the Astoria Commission. Others from the Tacoma body are C. W. Orton. Edward Kloss and John A. Rea, the latter being general manager. POMONA IS OX FIRST VOYAGE New Interests Restore Steamboat Service on Willamette.
