3 REPRESENT PORTLAND
Cause of Second Session Within 10
Days Is Kept Secret by
Steamship Operators.
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.
T A COMA. Nov. 28. Arrived: Anne ftan-
ify. from San Francisco; Quadra, from
Britannia. Beach : Admiral Dewey from

Britannia Beach; Shunko, for Yokohama;
Wallingford, for Valparaiso; Myrmidon,

S.VBO M.ARU OKDEUED OUT
Master of Mysterious Schooner Is
Told to Pull Anchor.
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

Prosecution of Alleged Smuggling
Plot May Go hy Boards if
' Opinion Is Upheld.
SEATTLE. 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."

Collapse in Market and Shrink
age of War Profits.
NEW YORK. . Nov. 23. Buoyancy
marked the openlnr of today's trading
on the stock exchange, but the market
failed to retain Its early promise of fur
ther improvement ana. a sharp reversal '
set in before noon.
In the morning leaders augmented re
cent recoveries by 1 to 4 points on ex
tensive operations in which the long ac
count seemed to be well representee,.
General Motors was the most conspicuous
feature, its activity and strength being
directly traceable to overnight reports
that control of the company had been
passed to the Morgan-Dupont Interests.
According to reports in the financial
districts, the holding of speculative In
terests ln other prominent Industrial com
panies have been transferred by private
settlement from weak to strong hands as
a result of the severe collapse of prices
and shrinkage of war profits.
With the reversal, junior rails became
the center of a concerted drive at re
actions of 1 to 6 points, with New Haven
as the chief sufferer.
Shippings, steels and equipments can
celled their advances in less part, while
the market was expressing its secondary
reaction, losses exceeding gains at the
irregular close. Sales were 1,100,000
shares.
Money and foreign exchange were sta
bilizing Influences, all tha dav's call loans
being made at the unusually low rate of
6 oer cent, while remittances to London
and continental Europe were steady when
not firm.
Bonds tended mainly higher, all the
liberty and vlctorv issues, with one ex
ception, closing at gains. Total sales, par
value, 15,3O0,0OO. Old United States

Coffee Futures Lower.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23. Tho market for
coffee futures recovered a few points of
early losses, owing to reports of a better
feeling In Wall street and covering. The
opeiilng was 9 to 12 points lower and active
months sold 23 to 28 points below last
night's closing figures during the morning,
owing to unsettled showing of the Bra
zilian cables, and reports of lower cost and
freight offers. This carried March con
tracts off to 6.85c, which was within 10
points of the season's low record. Covering
then became a little more active while
offerings were lighter In the late trading,
with March closing at 6.96c. The general
