STEAMER
W WU
HAS POLYGLOT CREW
Chinese Republic Steamer
First to. Enter River.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE USED
Queer Hogs and Lark Which
Speaks Five Tongues Complete
Unusual Complement.
The Chinese steamer Hwah Wu.
meaning, in the official language of
the Celestial republic, merely steam
chip No. 5, arrived at municipal termi
nal No. 4 shortly before noon yes
terday with a varied cargo and as
cosmopolitan a personnel as has ever
visited this port. The Hwah "Wu is
the first vessel flying the flag of the
netr Chinese republic to eater the
Columbia river.
Captain E. Dye, master of the Hwah
Wu, professes to be a Norwegian.
The chief engineer. W. R. Cameron,
as well as the two assistant engi
neers, are Scotch. The first and third
officers are Ksthonians and the sec
ond officer is a Lett. Three Chinese
naval officers, acebmpanying the ves
sel to study merchant marine affairs,
and a crew of 55 orientals complete
the ship's complement, with the ex
ception of two Chinese hogs similar
to the Arkansas' razorback variety, a
few hens and a songbird known
the Tientsin lark, said to be a rare
bird found only in one province of
north China.
"Lark Speaks l'ive Ton;n.
English is the official language of
the ship, though it is the native
tongue only of the engineers. The
lark, which occupies a station on the
bridge and speaks as well as sings,
is said to have mastered bits of five
languages on the voyage.
In local port history the Hwah Wu
holds an' important place not only be
cause she is the first vessel of the
Chinese republic to come here, but
also because she has the first larpre
consignment of oriental vegetable oil
to be brought to Portland. The steve
dores unloading tho Hwah Wu expect
to work down to the oil part of the
cargo by tomorrow afternoon, at
which time it will be transferred from
its cases and barrels through the nw
bulking table at municipal terminal
No. 4 into the steel storage tanks
which have been awaiting such a
cargo since they, were completed.
Ship Orisinnlly Knglish.
Besides the vcf-'etable oils. the
Hwah Wu has about 1800 tons of gen
eral freight, including 507 sacks of
peanuts, a quantity of antimony and
other oriental products.
The Chinese steamer has an inter
esting history. She was built in 189S
at Stockton, England, as the British
steamer Mayflower. She later was
eold to German interests and operated
between Germany and the Orient as
the German steamer Albenga. She
was seized by the Japanese at the
outbreak of the war, and was taken
over from Japanese control by the
Chinese republic only six weeks ago
in Shanghai harbor, where she start
ed loading the cargo which she is
now discharging here.
She left Shanghai April 7 for Taku
Bar, and sailed from that port April
15. for Seattle. At Port Townsend
ehe was diverted to this city because
of the longshoremen's strike at Seat
tle. Sfie is under charter to the
China Import & Export Lumber com
pany, whoso house flag she flies, and
is being operated here by the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping company.
Officers YeteAih of War.
Every one of trie officers of .the
Hwah Wu's polyglot personnel is a
veteran of the world war. The chief
officer served in submarines of the
Russian fleet for four years in the
Baltic. He converses easily with his
fellow-officers in Russina or his na
tive Kathonian, speaks Chinese to the
crew and French and English to vis
itors. The second officer also saw
1 service as an officer of the Russian
navy. The third officer of the Hwah
Wu .was a captain in the Russian
Caucasus army and was twice wound
ad in action.
- -Chief Engineer Cameron of the
Hwah Wu is a native of Scotland
and a veteran of the China coast
steamship service. At the outbreak
of the war he went, to Vancouver,
B. C, in order to voiuntoer for serv
ice in the British navy. He was in
active service for four and a half
years of the war, and for ted months
baa chief engineer of the British
Mister-cruiser Theseus, bombarding
daily up and down the Dardanelles.
As evidence of tho poor marksmanship
of the Turkish gunners, he offers the
fact that durfrig the ten months of
this service only three shells passed
through his vessel. The two assist
ant engineers also served in the Brit
ish navy.
Livestock Ik Distinctive.
The livestock of the Hwah Wu is
as distinctive as her personnel. Tho
ship's hog, a rangy, long-haired crea
ture built along the general lines of a
destroyer, is not intended for pork,
according to the Chinese naval offi
cers abroad, but is a mascot. Old
timers along the waterfront say that
because or an ancient superstition
among Chinese sailors, they will not
put to sea in any vessel that does not
-r.i

Curci in tone placement and throat
control. Pilot R. Sandstrom, who
brought the Hwah Wu up the river
from Astoria yesterday morning, was
surprised to hear a cat mew a few
feet from his car. Turning, hesaw
- only the little lark in its cage. . Dur
ing the vessel's first hour in port.
the bird imitated a eat and a canary
perfectly, warbled a sweet song of
its own, and chattered a few words
in Russian and Chinese.

WORK OX SEATTLE PIURS.
Failure of Longshoremen's Walk
out Said to Be Due to Lack of
Solid Support.
SEATTLK, Wash., luay 12 (Spe
cial.) With nearly 1200 men at work
on the piers and terminals, vessels
being loaded and discharged with
greater aispatcn and many union men
appearing for jobs, conditions on the
water front were much improved to
day and the prediction was freely
made that the strike of the Seattle
local of the International Longshore
men's association 1 would soon be at
an end.
Representatives of the Water Front
Kmployers' .union said approximately
200 additional men appeared at the
piers and terminals this morning ready
to join the gangs which were loading
and discharging vessels operating in
the coastwise, Alaska and overseas
trades. Many of the men were mem
bers of the union, but they were not
wearing their' union buttons when
they. made application for work:
"Kvery pier-has been gaining men
and cargo Is being handled with
greater dispatch than at any time
since the strike of longshoremen be
gan," said, a representative of the
Water Front Kmployers' union at
noon today. "The strike is disin
tegrating rapidly and will soon be
over. The work is being done more
efficiently and vessels are "sailing on
time.
Reports we're current on the water
front that the charter of local 38-12,
International Longshoremen 8 asso
ciation, had been revoked by the in
ternational. It also was reported that
the conservative element of the long
shoremen had withdrawn from the lo
cal and would organize a union of
their own. They blame the radicals In
the longshoremen's association for be
ing responsible for the strike, which
had not been authorized by the offi
cers of the international.
Many desertions from the ranks of
the strikers are 'explained by the
statement tliat the strike is not solid-
lv supported by union labor and that
the checkers local has not assisted the
longshoremen and truckers in their
efforts to force the list system on the
water front. The checkers voted
unanimously to remain at work after
receiving instructions from their dis
trict president.

Court Declines to Believe Li
quor Dug From Sand.
FINES ARE $10 A-BOTTLE
Stuff Found on Prisoners Japanese
Concoction Resembling Whisky
and Labeled "Scotch."
"Alibis" of an original character
were related to Municipal Judge
Rossman yesterday when nine men
arrested at the St. Johns municipal
terminal on charges of violating the
prohibition law by having liquor in.
their possession attempted to ex
plain just how they happened to have
it. Two swore they had dug the bot
tles out of the sand while working
on the dredger nearby. Another, de
clared he was taking his four bottles
home as medicine for his wife and
children. All denied that they bad
secured the liquor for mere use asxa
beverage.
Judge Metea Out Finea.
When all the evidence was in Judge
Rossman. meted out fines at the rate
of HO for every bottle found in the
possession of the various prisoners.
If any of you were willing to admit
that you purchased the liquor for bev
erage purposes I would almost be in
clined to release you," he told them.
R. Laudcn, longshoreman, was fined
?40; E. R. Snyder and D. M. McCauley
employed on the dredge, $10 each; B.
Garrison, who operates a jitney to
the municipal terminal, $20; H- S.
Reithenberjr, boilermaker employed
at the terminal, $20; It- Yashi. Japan
ese, $20; and K. Ita, another Japanese,
$75. The judge released J. Donovan,
a longshoreman, and S. Mao, a Japan
ese.

lice department under the leadership
of Sergeant Crane after they were be
lieved to have seAired liquor from

terday morning. The steamer itself
was not raided owing to the recent
edict issued by representatives of the
revenue department against such a
practice on the part of the police, it
was announced.
"Judge, we were digging around
the dredger pipe and all of a sudden
we unearthed a couple of bottles of
Scotch. That's how we happened to
have the bottles of liquor when we
were picked up," declared Snyder and
McCauley.
Court Skeptical About Sand.
"You want me to believe that?"
asked the Judge. "If that sand out
there yielded that sort of stuff there
would be a greater rush to that vicin
ity than was ever experienced during
the gold excitement in California and
Alaska."
Laudcn admitted that he purchased
four bottles of the liquor at $10 a
bottle but swore that he bought it
for medicinal purposes and was tak
ing it home to keep in case his wife
or two children, might be ill.
"No working man could afford to
pay -$10- a bottle fdr something to
drink, he argued. .
The liquor, about 30 bottles of
Which was secured, was declared to
be a Japanese concoction something
line whisky placed in bottles labeled
Scotch."

WHEAT IB HEADING
IH WARM SECTIONS
Early Sown Grain in Oregon
- Making Good Growth.
CORN IS UP IN UMATILLA
Weather Favorable for Polleniza-
tion "of Fruit Rains Xeeded
for Pastures and Ranges.
The Oregon grain crop Is making good
progress. The weekly report of the weath
er bureau says.:
"The fore part of the week was warm
and pleasant, the temperature exceeding
SO degrdes at a number of places on the
sixth. Near the close of tKe week the
weather became mucn cooler, with light
to copious rains in eastern counties, and
some local frosts in various sections. Dur- i
lng this warm period, there was some east;
wind, which caused very rapid evapora-
tion. hence, where rain did not fall, the 1
soil is generally dry. Water from melting
snow caused a slight rise in the rivers.
At the close of the week the Willamette
was falling, but the Columbia was stilt
rising. Farm work advanced rapidly, and
vegetation showed quick response to the
increased warmth.
"Seeding of spring wheat, oats and bar
ley continued; early-sown grain 'made good
growth, but rain is needed in western.
southern and central counties to bring up
the later secdings. Winter wheat gener
ally did well, but needs rain soon in south
ern counties. It is heading over consid
erable areas In the warmer parts of the
state. Some rye has been cut for hay.
A considerable acreage is being planted to
corn. In Umatilla county early corn Is tip.
'"The weather has been favorable for
Bpraying and for pollenatlon. Apricots and
pears are just coming Into bloom in Baker
county, while in Jackson and Josephine
counties the calyx spray is being applied
to apples. Irrigation of orchards is in
progress in Umatt 1 la conn ty. Frosts of
the preceding week are found to have done
some local damage to cherries, plums aad
peanhes.
"The warmer weather was favorable for
alfalfa and clover, except in some locali
ties, where unirrigatcd meadows need rain.
Rain is quite generally needed for pastures
and ranges in southern and central coun
ties. In eastern counties the ranges are
improving.
"Stock is generally making good gains.
In some sections the "lambing season is
practically -over. Shearing of sheep is in
progress over most of the state.
. "Planting of potatoes continues. Some
early potatoes were injured by the frosts
of the preceding week. The warm weath
er has been generally favorable for gar
dens." COAST DEMAND FOR WHEAT STRONG
Eastern Inquiries on Market, Bat Prices
Not Acceptable.
There was eastern Inquiry for wheat.
but the prices offered were not acceptable.
Buying for coast account ' was good and
tills kept the market strong at 57 cents-
premium for soft and about 70 cents for
hard wheat.
The coarse grain markets were firm.
UOorn bids at the exchange were advanced
41 and May feed xiats were 50 cents higher,
There was an active demand for good
feed barley. Bids on the board ranged
from ' unchanged to 50 cents higher. At
San Francisco August barley sold at ?3.18!
and December at $3.15.
There was afirmcr feeling In the Brain
bag market. Carlots were quoted at 21 Vi
cents coast.
The Price Current says crop prospects
have improved in many sections of the
big producing states. Several days of dry
weather,, and sunshine started the oats,
wheat and grains to growing rapidly.

REFINERS PAT MORE FOR RAWS.
Advance of II Cents a Hundred In New
York Market.
New York refiners paid 20 cents for raw
sugar yesterday, an advance from 19.56
cents, the price that prevailed for over a
week. Tho effect of this will eventually
bo felt in a corresponding risei on this
coast.
In their review of the raw sugar mar
ket Willett A Gray of New York say un
der date of May 7v
"The market continues to run along the
lines previously mentioned, with buyers at
18Hc c. and f. (IO.jiGc) for Cubas, and
with sellers more or less indifferent. Oc
casionally,' however, some ecHer disposes of
a lot or so of sugars, and It seems as if
the refiners obtained fully as many sugars
by continuing to rtay at one price aa they
did by following the market upward. The
Cuban market is a difficult one to follow
on a bull movement for as soon as one
objective is reached the Cuban seller In
stead of disposing of some sugar at his
first objective point immediately 'ad
vances to another. The market in Java
refining grades is quieter after the recent
large business and as sellers are somewhat
higher In their views no further transac
tions are reported.
"i no rorto iriizo taoor conditions are
reported as improving.
"A sale Is reported of Cubaa to Phila
delphia at 10 Vic c. and f.
"Our cable from Cuba today reports 14
centrals have finished their crop with an
outturn of 3,191,175 bags, against Messrs.
