The second meeting: within ten days of the Pacific west-bound conference, the organization of steamship oper ators which controls freight rates across the Pacific, will be held in Seattle, Wash., next "Monday. Ac cording to information reaching this city, every company operating Ameri can and foreign vessels in the trans Pacific trade will be represented at the meeting. K. D. Dawson, general manager of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company; W. T. Sexton, traffic manager of that company, and J. W. Crichton, district agent of the operations division -of the shipping board, will be delegates from Port land. Among others from San Fran ciuco will be C. O. Burgin, conference secretary, and W. M. Minor, traffic manager of the Pacific coast district of the shipping board. Conference Cause Secret. Members of the conference declined yesterday to reveal the purpose of the emergency meeting. It was un derstood, however, that further ac tion had become necessary because of the scrambling of rates ' to meet foreign competition at the last ses sion of th-i conference. Trans-Pacific lumber rates at the November 20 meeting, according to unofficial re ports, were cut from $17.50 to $12.50, to meet the figure at which Japanese operators were said to have booked millions of feet for January and Feb ruary shipment. Upward Rev In I on Probable. With Mitsui & Co. back in the con ference and the Blue Funnel line pledged to quote conference rates, it is probable that a revision upward will be made, as American vessels cannot carry lumber at that figure, in the face of the present scarcity of return cargo, except at a decided loss. Recent public statements of Chair man Benson of the shipping board and H. H. Ebey, director of opera tions for the Pacific coast district, to the effect that shipping board ves sels must pay their expenses, pointed to such upward revision, provided the Br'tish and' Japanese trans-Pacific lines were willing to maintain rates at the higher level.

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 23. -(Spe N cial.) The three-masted Japanese scnooner oaoo maru, given z- nours in which to clear from Victoria, B. C. ;for sea. left an anchorage off Albert Head light last night and headed dowm the straits. The Sabo Maru was thought to have cleared from Anacortes early last week, and arriving off here on Tues day she sought anchorage off Albert Head. The continued presence of the schooner attracted attention and after conducting an investigation the cus tom authorities gave the master of the craft notice that he had no bus! ness there and ordered the removal of the schooner from local waters. ' The Sabo Maru was presumably bound for Japan, but little was known con cerning her. She was well equipped with dories and fishing gear and was said to have been loaded with sup plies to last the complement for a lengthy period. The Sabo Maru is a Japanese cod fishing schooner which recently crossed the Pacific with a cargo codfish for Anacortes. After dis p charging she proceeded down sound to go to sea. Heavy weather off Cape Flattery, it is said here, may explain the schooner's failure to put to sea sooner. t aUITISII SHIP NEAR COLUMBIA John W Wells Believed to Be Seek ing Charter Here. Five months out from Ipswich, Eng land, and 68 days from the Panama canal, the five-masted schooner John W. Wells is nearing the Columbia river with a southerly wind behind her. The mission of the vessel here has not been announced, and a can vass of the lumber exporters yester day failed to reveal any Information As she carried grain on a former voyage from Australia to the United Kingdom, it is possible that she has been fixed to load wheat here, but it is more generally believed that she Is seeking a charter. The John W. Wells has a net ton nage of 2374. She is a wooden vessel built by the Charles R. McCormick company at St. Helens In 1918, an owned by the Pacific Freighters com !

Wash., Nov. 23. (Spe cial.) Robert C Saunders, United States district attorney, In a state ment In the federal court, said that indictment of ten Japanese stowa ways for conspiracy to smuggle aliens ashore in a Japanese smug gling plot bared by immigration offi cers on October 27 last was a mistake and that in his opinion there should be no prosecution of stowaways in the case. His statement foreshadowed dis missal of the indictment returned against the stowaways by a grand jury a week ago. The district attor ney has telegraphed, however, to the attorney-general for further instruc tions before dismissing the charges. Direct issue has been taken with the district attorney's action by Henry M. White, United States com missioner of immigration for Wash ington, and in a statement the com missioner said that smuggling opera tions cannot be halted without crimi nal prosecution. The district attor ney further refused to take any ac tion in the cases of stowaways caught by immigration inspectors on the steamer Arizona Maru last week and holds that deportation was the only method to be pursued in the cases. In his opinion the district attorney said that inmates of the federal pen itentiaries were entitled to protection and that wardens and employes of the peniteptiaries had not been subjected to association of the unadmitted aliens. He stated that the presiden tial proclamation of August 8, 1918, under which the stowaways were held, "wholly and solely a war proc lamation regulating the administra tive provisions" and "not sufficient in my judgment to sustain a criminal prosecution." Pacific Coast Shipping Notes. pany.
