FIG
STATION TO MOVE
Henry Building Quarters toBe
"Red Car" Depot.
LEASE FOR ONE YEAR
Permanent Location to Be Strut:-
ture Now Occupied by Lyric.
Theater.
The Fourth-street depot of the
Southern Pacific electric system will
be transferred to 87 Fourth street, the
Henry building. March 1. where for
about a year it will occupy the quar
ters now used by the Lawyers Title
& Trust company. It Is understood
that before the expiration of one
year the depot will be located in the
Rosenblatt property at the southwest
corner of Stark and Fourth Streets,
now the Lyric theater. The arrange
ment for temporary quarters In the
Henry building was made yesterday
and pending the remodeling or build
ing of a new depot, this will be the
center of travel over the electric line
that runs the red-car trains to the
west side lines of the railroad. The
Lawyers Title & Trust company will
on March 1 occupy its new office on
the Stark-street side of the new build
ing erected by Herbert Gordon at the
northwest corner of Stark and Fourth
streets, and which is now nearing
completion.
The Lyric theater is under lease to
the management of that amusement
concern until September next. The
property is owned by Samuel and
Louis Rosenblatt and their two sis
ters. It is 50 by 100 feet, and the
building will undergo extensive
changes or be rebuilt to serve the
purpose of a passenger station. It
is understood that the proposed lease
is for a long term of years, probably
to cover the period of the fran
chise of the railroad company on
Fourth street, which will expire in
1939.
While no official confirmation was
forthcoming last night as to the lo
cation, it has been rumored for some
time that various locations had been
under consideration. Location of the
station in the Henry building will
make that locality the uptown center
for west side travel.
George L. Greenfield early in Jan
uary leased from the company own
ing the property now occupied by the
Southern Pacific, for a period of ten
years from March 2. A sub-lease was
offered to the railroad company which
was not accepted. The station in the
block between Washington and Alder
streets has been occupied for the
past eight years.

CANSUMSET SITTJATIOX LAID
TO FOKElfcX EXCHANGE.
Curtailed Burins Blamed for Con
templated Cancellation of Trip
to European Ports.
The decline in the European ex
change has so curtailed buying on
the other side of the Atlantic that
the sailing of the steamer Cansumset
the latter part of this month for
Havre, Hamburg and Liverpool may
be canceled, it was stated yesterday
by A. C. Stiibbe, general manager of
the Columbia-Pacific Shipping com
pany, local agents for the European
Pacific line, which is operating the
Cansumset and eight other shipping
board vessels on a direct service from
all ports of the Pacific coast to those
of Europe.
In order to make Portland a port of
call for each oj the vessels, 1000 tons
of. freight must be provided here,
under a regulation made by Williams,
Dimond & Co., managers of the line.
PVplirhr for thA steamer West Cavntft
I of this line, which loaded and depart
ed from Portland yesterday, was
barely above the 1000-ton limit, and
unless cargo for the Cansumset is
booked much more rapidly than at
present, the vessel will pass Portland
by on her next trip.
Schooner Coming In Ballast.
Contradictory reports and specula
tion as to the inward cargo of the
schoonei-Snow & Burgess, which is on
her way to Portland from Manila,
were st at rest yesterday by the re
ceipt of definite information- from her
owners that she is coming here in
ballast to load lumber for Australia.
The Snow & Burgess started out from
Manila for the Columbia river early
last October, but was obliged to put
back to that port in a leaky condition
and go on drydock. She finally left
Manila December 18 and presumably
has been on her way here since that
time.

SAILORS THREATEN STRIKE
XAVAL IXQCIRY OF RECORDS
OF PRISONERS REQUESTED,
Denial of Inefficient Discipline
by Secretary Roosevelt Is Fol
lowed by Demand.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Appoint
ment of a naval court of inquiry to
investigate the record of the more
than 2000 men returned to the service
from the Portsmouth prison during
the war on recommendation of Com
mander Thomas Mott Osborne and the
effect of this policy upon the general
efficiency, of the- navy has been re
quested by Captain J. K. Taussig of
the naval war college at Newport,
it was learned today.
Captain Taussig's request, made in
a letter to the judge advocate-general
of the navy, was the result of
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt's con
tradiction of recent charges by Taus
sig that the effect of returning these
men to ships had been detrimental
both to discipline and efficiency in
war time. Mr. Roosevelt declared the
records showed that "more than 70
per cent of the men returned to the
service had made good.
Commander Osborne has tendered
his resignation from the naval re
serve force, and asked Secretary Dan
iels to accept it as soon as his suc
cessor at Portsmouth can be chosen.
Naval officials said Commander Os
borne's resignation had no connec
tion with charges of immorality
among inmates at the prison submit
ted by, agents of the department of
justice several months ago. They said
he 3rst presented his resignation some
time before the charges were made
but later withdrew it.
