Barnett Gold stein appearing for Rossi, Brenner and Smith, Frank Lonergan for La Salle, D. Solis Cohen, for Stein and Paul Long for Peterson. Testimony la Interesting. Yesterday's testimony continued to be intensely interesting as It re-vlewed the course of the multitude of op erations and cross-operations that took place at the time the alleged altered stamps were being marketed in Portland. Some of the evidence heard was directly at cross purposes. Robert La Salle stated on the stand that he had received money from Brenner for selling' the stamps and Brenner stated that he got money from La Salle In the deal. Brenner declared that La Salle knew that th.e stamps came from Rossi and that he resented th detectives com ing to him. to make good when' they found out that the stamps were no good. La Salle stated that he did not know Rossi's connection with the case, having dealings only with Bren ner, who was a close personal friend, for the reason that Brenner wanted the money and he knew where he could sell the stamps. ' L,a Salle Glrn His, side. La Salle testified that Brenner gave him the first lot of stamps, some 66 In number, and that he took them to a brokerage office run by William Randolph, where he sold them for $4.05 each. When he took the money back to Brenner, he stated, he re ceived J12.50- Several days later, when La Salle was at a party In the evening, he said, he received a tele phone call from Brenner to the effect, he said, that Brenner had another lot of stamps awaiting disposal, and he declared the next morning he took about 128 of them to Randolph, and this time sold them for $4 each, as the broker stated that he was not getting enough. La Salle stated that when he brought this money back to Brenner he received about $40. Ralph Hoyt, county commissioner; "W. P. Gibson, L. A. Latourette, dep uty city attorney; Mark W. Peterson and Arthur W. Manner testified of Brenner as an honest, law-abiding citizen, and Judge Morrow of the state circuit court, George F. Nor blad, Phil Metschan, Charles Doty and Carl S. Kelty were character wit nesses for La Salle. Denial Made by I, a Salle. In the La Salle testimony one of the high spots was when the govern ment, in its efforts to trace out the third transaction that appeared on the Randolph books, met with a de nial on the part of the ex-detective that he was in-any way concerned with this sale. La Salle declared that he tried to get back the money for Randolph when they heard from San Francisco that some of the stamps were suspicious and doubtful, and how he refused to take a post dated check from Rossi for them. La Salle maintained that he wag asked by Randolphs to take some stamps from a local bank that lay there with a sight draft attached for $500. in consideration of the dealer calling the Brenner transaction square: he also alleged that when he went down to complete the final ar rangements, he met Randolph and his wife in the lobby of an office building and that they told him to forget the entire deal, as they had managed it all right and that one batch vof the stamps had been burned and de stroyed. Declared Suspicions Held Lacking. La. Salle said that he did not know that there was any suspicion attached to his dealings with the other de fendants and Randolph until some eight or ten days after the second sale, when Inspector Tackaberry of the local force asked him if he knew of any crooked stamp deals, and when a day or so later Inspector Hyde told him of a $1400 transaction on the Randolph books. When Randolph told La Salle that the stamps that he had brought there were no good. La Salle said, it was the first intimation that he had that there was anything wrong about the deal, and when he went to Brenner In an effort to get the money and return it to Randolph he found time, according to his testimony. At the close of court yesterday aft ernoon Judge Wolverton notified the .Jurymen to return at 9:30 this morn ing and that they would be released at 11:45 and would resume their du ties Monday.

The problem of whether Portland's present steamship service with the orient is to be maintained .or cut to a mere skeleton during the time of freight scarcity, occupied the atten tion of practically all marine inter ests of this city yesterday at a con ference in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce with H. H. Ebey, dis trict director of operations for the shipping board. No conclusions were reached after three hours of open discussion and two more hours of close arbitration by the interests most vitally affected. ( ir. bceys policy of considering only the immediate monetary return to the shipping board ' from the operation of its vessels, without thought of the future results of this policy on the commerce of the Pacific coast as a whole, and Portland in particular, met with earnest dis approval from representatives of all shipping interests, but the director appeared unable to alter his views. Trip Losses Cited. He cited reports to show that shipping board' vessels in the Pacific Steamship company's oriental service out of Portland have tsen showing an average loss of $40,000 on every round trip voyage in recent months, and declared that therefore the number of sailings must be reduced to a bare minimum. A. F; Haines, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Steamship company, replied in vain that the four boats now in service on this line constitute a bare minimum and that any further reduction will destroy all semblance of liner service. Mr. Ebey suggested that Admiral line vessels taking part cargoes from Puget sound ports might come to- the Columbia river to finish loading, or that vessels in . the transpacific service from Portland might be routed to Puget sound to complete their cargoes. The impossibility of success under such an arrangement was pointed out by Mr. Haines, H. L. Hudson, traffic manager for the port, and R. B. .Wilcox, president of the Wilcox-Hayes company. Alternate Sailings Proposed. Another idea propounded by Mr. Ebey was that the Pacific, Steamship company and Columbia-Pacific Ship ping company, instead of maintaining separate services as at present, should send . their vessels to the same ports in the orient and provide alternate monthly sailings. The fact that the Columbia-Pacific company has been able to provide nearly full cargoes for the vessels of its north China line, was pointed out to the district director of operations as a reason why this company should be allowed to maintain its present service, ' and not be compelled to divide up its business with a com petitor. The injustice of sending ships of either company into the ex clusive trade territory of the other was also brought out, neither of the two companies showing any enthu siasm over the prospect of turning over to a competitor the fruits of Its pioneering in the far east After a brief welcome by Mayor Baker and introduction by H. B. Van Duzer, -president of the chamber. Mr. Ebey declared his policy as follows': Gloomy Outlook Faced. "The shipping business is facing a gloomy outlook. Shippmgvboard ves sels are being tied up because of lack of business. The supply of ships now exceeds the demand for them. One of the greatest troubles of the shipping board recently was attempting to sat isfy the demands of Bhip operators, and those who desired to become ship operators, f6r the assignment of ton nage to their operation. "The Admiral line has been operat ing shipping board vessels out of Portland to the Orient on a 23 to 25-day schedule, while the Columbia Pacific has been ' sending out one steamer a month. The shipping board vessels have not received the fullest support from you shippers. There seems to be an impression that shipping board vessels should be operated on routes regardless of their earnings. I have been brought up in the .transportation business and have always been obliged to consider earn ings. I consider myself in the position- of an owner's representative, and the question now before us is' what would a prudent operator do with his own vessels during such a shortage of freight. Ship Tonnage- Short. "There is a ship now. scheduled for sailing opt of the Columbia river No vember 15, for which only 2500 tons of freight have been booked. I have set a minimum of 3000 tons as the amount without which this vessel shall not be allowed to depart." Replying to the statement by Mr. Ebey, Mr. Haines declared that in his opinion the act of a prudent opera tor at the present time would be not to tie up hid vessels, but to keep them running regularly and to maintain schedules. "Mr. Ebey speaks of a loss of ?40, 000 on a round trip voyage to the Orient," he said. "That is nothing. We are losing more than that on a single round coastwise voyage on- the Mexico and Central America run, and we are running - our own boats to Alaska at a loss. If we should reduce our service to the point of disrupting schedules, we would lose what little commerce we have. There are times when every business must be run at a loss. This is one of those times for the steamship business. We had a hard fight to divert the trans-Pacific freight to American vessels. - and if shippers once lose their confidence in the American service, it will ,be doubly hard to get the business back a few months hence when the present depression is ended. Service lVot Reduced. "The Osaka Shosen Kaisha. one of our Japanese competitors Out of Puget Sound, is not reducing its service. In stead it is taking off its 12,000-ton vessels and putting 18,000-tonners in their place. The Blue Funnel line is not reducing, but is maintaining schedules at a loss because it knows the essential value of regularity of service. s After all Mr. Kbey's proposals had been countered by arguments of the steamship men, importers and ex porters, and traffic men. present, he said he would not decide the matter anyway. "Farbe it from me," he said, "to decide anything I don't have to. This Is a question of policy which must be passed upon by the board. I will eiujeavor to confer with Commissioner Teal tomorow. ' and will then wire Washington for a decision." . Following the adjournment of the luncheon meeting, Mr. Ebey retired to a private room with A. H. Haines, Frank O'Connor, K. D. Dawson, C. E. Dam, Peter Kerr and A. C. Callan for a discussion which lasted from 3. to 5 P. M. At this time Mr. Ebey said that nothing new had developed. NAVAL IXVESTIGATORS COMIXG Proposed Establishment of , Sab marine Base In Columbia Reported. - Three high officers of the navy, with members of the house nav! affairs committee, will arrive in Portland Saturday for a three-day stay during which they will make an investigation in regard to the pro posed establishment of a submarine base in the Columbia river, accord ing to information received by the chamber of commerce, which is planning to entertain the party. The nav officers in the party are Admiral R: E. Coontz, chief. of naval operations; Rear Admiral Wythe M. Parks, Rear Admiral Washington L. Capps and Lieutenant-Commander Harry W. Hill, who is acting as aide. The names of the congressional com mittee members who are accompany ing the naval officers have not yet been learned. Schooner Meteor Chartered. The American schooner Meteor, 618 net tons, was reported yesterday' to have been chartered by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. at $32.50 per 1000 feet to carry lumber from the Columbia river to Adelaide, Australia. The Meteor recently arrived at San Fran- Lcisco from Caliao via Suva. Pacific Coast Shipping Notes. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 5. (Special.) The steamer .

'Since I took Tanlac my appetite is so big my lunch basket don't hold enough to satisfy me," was the char acteristic statement made by Joe Julian, 710 East ISth St., Portland, a valued employe of the National Laundry Co., recently. "1 don't believe I could have stayed on my Job much longer if I hadn't got Tanlac when I did. I lost my ap petite completely, and of'en went all day without eating anything. What little I did eat fermented and caused gas which distressed and made me .so sick I could hardly endure it, and f if I ventured to eat any heavy food I just suffered agony. "My strength gave way fast. T didn't seem to have a bit of energy, and when I came home from my work at night I was so played out I was just ready to drop. I finally decided that I had to either give up entirely or get relief, and when a friend recommended Tanlac I decided to try it. "I count myself lucky that I got Tanlac, for it helped me from the start. I am hungry as a bear all the time now. and can eat anything I want without having the slightest pain or distress in my stomach. T have gained eleven pounds in weight, and am so much stronger I can work all day and still feel fine when night comes. Tanlac is the best medicine T ever saw for troubles like mine, and I always like to talk about it." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Company. Adv. TRAVELERS' CODE.
