CANTON, China. July 10. (By the
Associated Press.) Sun Tat - Sea,'
deposed president of South China,
called into Canton . harbor today
aboard the gunboat Wingfung, es
corted by two cruisers and one de
troyer, after bombarding the Macao
forts two miles below the city. Sun
declared he would not again bom
bard the city proper.
Sun's battle with the Macao forts,
which are only two miles from Can
ton down the -West river, and are
not identified in any way with the
Portuguese settlement of Macao, ap
proximately 75 miles farther down
stream at the mouth, cost him one
killed and three wounded. The
casualties in the forts were not
known. Sun's ships were only
slightly damaged, although more
than 100 shells were fired.
The deposed southern president
now has the city of Canton and the
foreign settlement of Shameen un
der the guns of seven of his ships,
which are anchored off Shameen.
His squadron consists of five war
ships and two transports.
United States Destroyer Present.
Close inshore the United States
destroyer Tracy an-d the British
gunboats Tarantula and Moth are
cleared for action in case Sun re

city again.
Uncertainty, mixed with tense
ness, marks the situation. Tip Kue,
who heads Chen. Chiung-Ming's
forces here, has his troops scattered
throughout Canton. The shop keep
ers all have closed their stores, fear
ing a bombardment if Yip Kue at
tacks Sun's fleet, although there is
no present evidence of any prepara
tion on the former's part to carry
out such a plan.
Sun Yat-Sen told the Associated
Press correspondent tonight that he
had not yet decided on hig next step
and that he would await develop
ments. Destroyer la Abandoned,
When Sun abandoned Whampoa
yesterday, following the blowing up
of his ammunition dump hy Chen
Chiung-Ming's shells, he left one of
his destroyers disabled there. His
three largest criusers, Haichi. Hai
sun and Chaoho have left for Hong
kong. They were unable to accom

TRAIN WRECK ATTEMPTED
Three Telegraph Poles Are Laid
on Southern Pacific Tracks.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 11. An at.
tempt was made to wreck Southern
Pacific train No. 24, a local between
Oakland and Hazen, Nev., by the
placing of three telegraph poles on
the track at a point near Hayward,
Alameda county. An investigation
today was begun by officials of the
railroad and Sheriff Barnett of Ala
meda county. The train smashed
through two of the poles and was
brought to a stop when it struck the
third, the train crew reported to the
company.
Little damage was done to the
train and no one was injured, al
though the passengers were shaken
up. The train connects with the 1:24)
A. M. boat from San Francisco and
is known as the "Newspaper Spe
cial.
There was no evidence, according
to the officials, that the poles were
placed across the track by striking
shopmen or strike sympathizers.
L. S. Gordon, secretary of the Fed
eration of Railway Employes of the
Southern Pacific system, said that
. 2 of the company's locomotives had
been sidetracked in bad order at
different- points on the division on
account of the strike. Eight of the
, engines were at San Jose, he said
Overland trucks were develoDine-
hot boxes because of lack of atten
tion and -were arriving at the termi
nals off schedule as a result, accord
ing to Gordon.
Strikebreakers were said by Gor
don to be leaving the shops at Ogden
and he made public a teleeram sav
ing that but two men were at work
at the Tucson, Ariz., shops. Train
service in the San .Francisco region
appeared to oe normal.

WATCHFUL WAITING POLICY
ESTABLISHED HERE. -
No Strike Disorders Yet Reported,
Although Pickets Are on Duty .
Outside AH Shops.
With both sides standing pat, rail
road officials claiming that the
strike has not affected the opera
tion of trains, and strikers still firm
in their refusal to return to work,
the railroad shopmen's strike, as
seen in Portland, seems to have set
tled down to a policy of watchful
waiting.
No disorders have been reported,
though pickets are on duty outside
of all shops. Trains are running
on time, railroads are steadily add- 1
ing to their forces of workmen and
the strikers' ranks are firm, no de
sertions having been reported.
Forty-five new men were added
to the payrolls at the Albina shops
yesterday, Union Pacific officials
report. The company now hag about
one-half of its normal crews at
work. At Seattle a foil shop force
has been employed. At The DalleB
the company has succeeded In fill
ing about 60 per cent of the posi
tions left vacant by the strike. Ac
cording to the officials of this sys
tem, no train movements have, been
interrupted by the walkout.
Southern Pacific officials report
ed a 75 per cent crew in thefr
shops. Their trains, too, are running-
without trouble. Spokane,
Portland & Seattle heads said that
a force about one-half of that nor
mally employed was at work in
local yards and shops.
"Everything is quiet," declared
W. F. Turner, president of the sys
tem, yesterday. "We are running
all trains on time, freight is moving
normally. The strikers have pickets
outside of all shops, but as yet
there has been no disorder what
soever." Though the railroads are build
ing up gangs of workmen to re
place those who went out on strike,
officials of the shop crafts yester
day said that the men who walked
out are still out and that the newly
hired workmen are not mechanics
or skilled workers, but tramps and
laborers whom the companies have
impressed into service.

POWER PERMIT REFUSED
Proposed Kalama River Project
Held Not Feasible.
THE OREGONIANNEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C, July 11. The
federal water power commission has
denied the application of C. L Keip
hart of this city for a permit for a
proposed power project which in
volved diverting Kalama river.
Washington, into Lewis river, on
the ground that the project was not
feasible from an engineering stand
point and that there was no show
ing of a market for the power to
be developed.
A preliminary permit for 21 months
was authorized by the commission
for issuance to (the Fort Klamath
Meadows company at Fort Klamath,
Or., for a power project to be lo
cated on Anna creek just outside the
boundary of Crater lake national
park. The capacity at the site is
about 480 horsepower, and as de

Promptly Answered by Walsh

ator Poinderter'a bill providing for
an investigation of the Columbia
basin irrigation project and author
izing an appropriation of siuo.ooo to
carry on the work passed the sen
ate in, record, time soon after its
opening today.
Senator Jones of Washington,
ranking member of the committee
on irrigation, had no more than re
ported the bill from committee than
Senator PoLmdexter arose and asked
unanimous consent for Its consid
eration. Senator McCumber of North
Dakota, in charge of the tariff bill,
said he had no objection to per
mitting the bill' to be taken, up if it
did not precipitate prolonged debate.
benator caraway of Arkansas Im
mediately started a. cross-fire of
questions to know why special
action was asked of congress and
for what reason the investigation
was placed by the bill In the hands
of the secretary of the interior. Serv
itor Poindexter replied that the
project was of extraordinary pro
portions and was expected later to
involve a special appropriation by
congress if the report of the inves
tigation is favorable.
Senator Walsh of Montana came
to the assistance of Senator Poin
dexter in answering the-questions
of Senator Caraway, and after hav
ing indicated his intention to block
consideration of the measure the
Arkansas senator subsided. Before
abandoning his attack, however,
Caraway said he understood that
none of the money advanced for
western reclamation had ever been
repaid to the government, which
caueed Senator Ashurst to come into
the debate with the statement that
of the U71,96,478 expended In the
first 19 years of the reclamation
service $46, 125,659 had been returned
to the treasury. Senator Aehurst
added: "I hope this bill will pass.'

It has grown to be almost a policy

localities.
Public Spirit Praised.
'The splendid public spirit dis
played by the people of this port in
taxing themselves for municipal
piers and such facilities, as well as
in the dredging project, entitles
them to the most earnest considers
tlon and fairest treatment at the
hands of the shipping board, because
in the last analysis these improve
ments are absolutely essential to the
maintenance of an American mer
chant marine, in which every pa
triotic citizen ought to be interested.
Those who expect to make
profit out of government operation
of ships, instead of serving the
people in the trade of the several
ports, are penny wise and pound
foolish if they hesitate to epend
money to extend . our commerce to
the ports of the world."
As to the merchant marine of the
country and its future, he continued:
"The maintenance of an American
merchant marine is more essential
at this time than ever before in
the history of our country. I heart
ily favored the four-power pact and
the establishment of the ratio of
battleships as between Great Brit'
ain, Japan and the United States as
5-5-3 and have so expressed myself
In public addresses, for the simple
reason that partial disarmament
may assist in preventing war, but
with that ratio established and the
status quo maintained as to mer
chant ships. Great Britain is just as
much the mistress of the sea to
day, as she was when she possessed
tne greatest navy in the world.
Greater Fleet Advocated.
She has a greater number of
large and fast merchant vessels
than the United States and in order
that our country may maintain
ratio in its merchant fleet, as it is
proposed by the four-power pact
to maintain an American naval
ratio, we must not only keep up
our present merchant fleet but will
have to add materially to it in the
coming years.
"This situation can be better ap
predated when it is remembered
that of the merchant ship of 2000
tons and over and of 12-knots an
hour and over, the percentage
owned by Great Britain is 76 while
that of the United States is 24. This
shows how powerless is our mer
chant fleet in' comparison with that
of .Great Britain. In order to ac
complish maintenance of the proper
merchant fleet ratio, I favor the
subsidy measure now before con
gress and which has the warm sup
port of the president. It is not just
as I would have written it in many
respects, but the direct and in
direct aid proposed meets with my
hearty approval.
Referring to section 28 and the
attitude of the shipping public to
ward it, he said:
"The impression received as a re
suit of the Portland meeting was
practically the same as that at other
hearings and that is that communi
ties as a general rule are opposed
to it. I propose, however, to keep
an open mind on the subject until
all evidence is in and I feel we will
then" have no difficulty in reaching
a conclusion.
Difficnltlei Arc Cited.
"One of the greatest difficulties
of section 28 Is the proper construc
tion to be placed on it. I havn't
found any two lawyers who agree
on what It means. Members of the
board, have not discussed the con
struction' likely to be put on it, as
they wanted expressions from the
communities as to its application.
It is barely possible that the ship
subsidy bill may pass, in which
event the question as to how section
2-8 shall be applied will be unneces
sary to determine."
The section's enforcement would
provide for preferential rates on in
terstate or- transcontinental freight
moving across the ocean- in Ameri
can ships and the alleged intent
was to afford the American mer
chant marine an advantage over
foreign carriers as to handling im
ports and exports from between
American ports and those in any
possession or dependency of the
United States or in a foreign coun
try. In advance of consideration as
to the section being acted on, it
must be determined whether facili
ties afforded by American ships are
adequate and. in the case at Portland
it is contended, backed by statistics
of all kinds, that the preponderance
