THE' SOTDAY OEE&ONIAN, PORTLA&B, NOVEMBER 15, 1503. at WAR HOT STARTED Cracker Companies Do Not Know if They Are Hurt. TRUST WATCHES ITS RIVALS Feeling of Tension Exists In Trade and Jobbers Are Confident That Prices Will Soon Be Cut by Big Concerns. There -were no new developments in the "threatened cracker war, yesterday, but a feeling of tension existed In the trade. Holders who are -watching the situation closely are still certain that trouble is on tho point of breaking: out- and that price-cutting- is likely to begin any day. It is learned that the visit of Phil iJ. Jacob', president of tho Standard BIs cuit Company, to the city recently "was -principally for the purpose of viewing a. site proposed for a .new cracker factory to be built here by his company. J. B. Morln, Portland manager of the com tpany, states positively that Mr. Jacoby idid not come for the purpose of inaugu rating a price war. , "I can eay for our company," said Mr. Stfoxin yesterday, "that we do not antici pate trouble of any kind. Our relations with our competitors here are entirely amicable." In spite of Mr. Morln's assurance, and 'the fact that the schedule Is still main tained in this city, there is trouble in 'other parts of the Northwest, and that lit will extend to Portland, or at least reach Fuch proportions as to affect the 'trade here, seems to be a foregone con Iclusion. The Inland Cracker Company, of (Spokane, an independent concern, is said to be cutting prices in the "Walla Walla "country and in Eastern Oregon, and the opposition factory at Seattle is also said 'to be selling crackers at cut rates. (The Mutual Biscuit Company, of San Francisco, the co-operative concern that Is accused of starting the trouble, has no resident agent in this city, but has traveling representatives in Oregon and Washington -who are said to be selling under the established schedule. When 'this business gets so big as to cut into 'the profits of the Pacific Coast Biscuit 'Company, the Standard Biscuit Company 'or Bishop & Co., something will be doing, land that the point is not far off seems 'certain. Tho biscuit companies not only make crackers but are large manufacturers of "candles, so a cracker war will be a icandy war as well. ACCUSES CHARLES A. PARKEB James Nell! Writes That Actor-Manager Left With $'1000. Charles Astor Parker, recently manager of the Nelll-Mqrosco Company, Is accused of levanting with more than J1000 be longing to the cqmpany. The accusation is made by James Nelll, the actor, in a letter received here from him at Butte. This explains the reason that Mr. Parker was "let out" as manager of the com pany while it was playing at the Baker Theater In this city a short time since, and Robert Morris was installed in his place. Mr. Parker is said to be in Min neapolis and Is to be brought back to Portland to give account of the funds he is alleged to have absconded with. When the announcement came, during the 'engagement of the company here, that Mr. Parker had been replaced by Mr. Morris, there was considerable con jecture as to the cause of tho change. Those who knew the facts were reticent, not choosing to give any explanation of what occurred. In his letter Mr. Nelll states that for some time he had been dissatisfied with the business methods of Mr. Parker and that this dissatisfaction reached a cli max when the manager through careless ness, left Mr. Nelll with an open season Just at time when his company should have been busy. He also states that Mr. Parker could not, or would not, fur nish him or Mr. Morosco, with weekly statements of the business of tho com pany. He explains that the dissatis faction became so great that Mr. Parker was telegraphed his discharge. It is alleged by the actor that Mr. Parker left Portland without rendering any apcount of something over ?100p of company money, which he is said to have had In his possession. Mr. Nelll states that Pinkerton detectives have lo cated Mr. Parker and that he will be re turned to Portland. Mr. Neill also says that a warrant will be sworn out when he arrives In the city this week. Charles Astor Parker, It Is understood, claims to be a partner In the Empire and that the money was due him. borderlight, 36 wood chairs, the picture frames and easels, the large mirror in i one dressing-room, and a small one on the stage entrance door, the center-table cover in the locker, all of the globes in the footlights, olio drop, 500-volLand 110 volt rheostats, stereoptlcon and polyscope complete, and two washpans. IS NEED OF DONATIONS. Baby Home and Children's Home Is sue Appeals. The following appeals for -public dona tions at Thanksgiving time for the Chil dren's Home and the 'Baby Home are made by the respective boards of man agement. That the Baby Home needs money Is indicated in the following state ment. "Another year is almost gone. Thanks giving and Christmas days will soon be here, and it is proper to review the year, count its blessings and also inquire, "What have I done for humanity during the year? "We all know this has been a great year throughout the Northwest. The har vest has been abundant, the mines have yielded up a vast deal of wealth In short, prosperity has come to many of our people greater than In many years be fore. Some of these people have already given liberally and as a consequence a few of our institutions of charity are fairly well endowed. Yet there Is one very worthy Institution, namely, the Baby Home, that has no endowment fund and receives no state aid. It is dependent en tirely on the charities of the public. Why is this? It Is a worthy cause. It is do ing a good work. Its oflicers receive no pay. Many worthy widows thank God for the Baby Home, where they can have their little ones kept at nominal expense, while they go out to work. to support themselves. The babies there are not outcasts, that they- should be despised or neglected. This Is not an institution to foster crime. Far from it. The character and standing of those composing the board refute this. "Neither is it asked that you neglect other charities to aid this one, but simply remember that the Baby Home Is a worthy charity and demands a goodly share of your thank-offering. The directors are looking about for an empty building, where they may receive gifts on Thanksgiving week, and will an nounce its location as soon as secured. Any checks may be sent to Mrs. L. W. Slt ton, president. Money, more than any other one thing. Is needed. The matron, five nurses, a cook and washer, etc, must all be paid, also bills for fuel and living expenses." President Anna M. Mann, of the Chil dren's Home, has Issued the following-appeal: "Thanksgiving day again draws near, and already the busy housewife is be ginning to make ready the feast to greet the loved ones, and hearts grow tender at the thought of the Joyful meeting of kindred and friends, and the hearty good cheer awaiting them around the bounti fully spread tables. Our wharves are lined with greatjshlps to carry our surplus pro duce to foreign lands, and the cry is that cars ?can not be built fast enough to meet the demands of trade. All this betokens the prosperity of our people, and we trust our friends and the readers of The Ore gonian will not turn a deaf ear to our annual appeal lor aid for the Children's Home on Cprbett street under the man agement of the Ladles' Relief Society, the oldest non-sectarian benevolent organi zation in our city, having been founded In 1S67. "We seldom appeal for aid, but always do on Thanksgiving week, and have never asked a generous public in vain, and we trust we will not have to do so now. We endeavor to be economical in our man agement of the Home and have no sal aried officers outside of the institution, but expenses are great and our funds are low, for we were obliged to make some needed repairs; among other necessities was new plumbing to have the. place In a good sanitary condition, for we aim to keep the children healthy as well as happy and obedient. Woodard, Clarke & Co. have kindly offered room In their store, on Fourth and Washington streets, and ladies will be in attendance there to secure donations all day Tuesday, Wed nesday and the forenoon of Thanksgiving day. "We will send wagons around to the stores and trust you will have something ready for the children. We need all things used In well-regulated families. Tinware, dishes, brushes, brooms, soap, flannel and cotton cloths, shoes and stock ings, vegetables, flour, sugar, fruit, etc. Any person giving preserved fruits or jelly can have their Jars or glasses re turned on application. "We are sure transportation lines would be reasonable in their charges if the farmers would kindly remember us and send a portion of their abundance to help us in our work to aid the unfortunate. Friends are kindly Invited to call at our Home and see for themselves what we do with the funds given us." PAID UNDER PROTEST NOVEL CHAEITY PETE. Portland Fruit and Flower Mission to Raise Money for Its Work. The Advertising Fete, which the Port land Fruit and Flower Mission is pre paring to give at Parsons Hall on No vember 19, ca.lls to mind the charity the ladles composing this mission dispense to those unfortunates confined In hos pitals and homes. Confinement In a hos pital ward Is bad enough when one has friends to call dally and cheer the patient with little .dainties, but to be in the charity ward without friends is another matter. To these a vase of flowers, a basket of fruit or some good magazine to read comes as a Godsend. The mission furnishes fruit and flowers for the patients in the St "Vincent and the Good Samaritan Hospitals, the Patton Home, St. Joseph's Home for the Aged, St. Agnes' Home, while the County Poor bouse and tho City Pesthouse are sup plied with reading matter. The sin cere thanks received for these charities encourage the ladles to keep this work tip from year to year, and as usual they will raise funds by giving an entertain ment. The idea of an advertising fete is something new, and it Is hoped will be of considerable pecuniary benefit to the work. Professor Robert Krohn, the physical instructor of the Multnomah Club, has been drilling the participants in this novel entertainment, and with Frank Branch Riley to Introduce each lady who appears dressed to represent some local firm, and Melville Dodson to give a char acter sketch, the evening will no doubt be a great success. A dance will follow the programme, and the event will be one of social prominence. Mrs. Hamilton Brook la the president of the Mission, Miss Fannie Jeffrey, vice-president; Mrs. W. H. Wallace, treasurer, and Miss Koeh ler, secretary. There are 47 active mem bers, and many more associate members. Runaway girl pound. Edward Shields Files New Suit. Edward Shields filed a replevin suit yes terday in Justice Reld's court against S. Morton Cohn, proprietor of the Arcade Theater. He alleges that his property tJ the value of J250 is held by Cohn. The property replevlned by Shields In this action is described as follows: All of the rope in the house except two roller lines on the garden drop, a long lino and a center line on the center door fancy drop; a piece of cable under the stage, 00 feet long; two switches, one cut-out medallion or stage carpet; all of the elec trical supplies in the locker .under the stage stairs, two tormentors, two wood wings, tho lash center door set drapery, Hilda Ek, 17 Years Old, Arrested at Request of Parents in Seattle. Hilda Ek, the 17-year-old daughter of John Ek, who ran away from her home in Seattle, was taken in charge by the Portland police last night. When ques tioned she refused to give any reason for leaving home, and only stated that she was on the road to San Francisco. Miss Ek was found at the Union Depot last night shortly before the train started south. During the day the police received a number of telegrams, stating that she was in the city and asking for assistance in locating her. Some of the telegrams were signed by Chief of Police Sullivan, of Seattle, and others by John Ek, her father. Captain of Detectives Sam Simmons worked on the case, and managed to find her Just as the train was leaving. The fugitive girl did not seem to be concerned over her capture, and walked quietly to the police station, where she was turned over to Officer Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. When asked why she had left home she answered: -"Because I wanted to go to San Francisco," but beyond this would make no statement. i f THE SUNDAY CLUB. CAPTAIN OF THE ALMEDIA AS SESSED FOR HEAD TAX.

Charged Two Dollars a Man for Nine Sailors That Deserted-Wreck of the Arranmore. According to a regulation recently put In force by Secretary Cortelyoti, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, shipmasters are required to pay a head tax of 52 on every sailor brought In who severs his connection with the ship. This makes it expensive for a shipmaster when a number of his men desert, as Captain Aaroe, of the Norwegian ship Almedia, found yesterday when he went to the Custom House to clear his vessel for Syd ney, N. S. W. The Immigration Inspectors keep watch on the crews of all the foreign vessels entering the port, and Just prior to their departure report to the Collector of Customs the number of men that have left the ship, and the collector taxes the vessel accordingly. As Captain Aaroe lo?t nine men by desertion, he was compelled to pay a head tax on them of $1S, which be did under protest. He will probably appeal to the head of the department against the action of the collector. This is not the first case of the kind that has come up here, as several of the Portland & Asiatic liners have had to pay tor members of their crews that deserted. The skipper of the Almedia did not think he was being treated fairly, as, in addi tion to the head tax, he was forced to pay the boarding houses $55 for each of the sailors shipped to take the places -of those that stole away. To add to his troubles, he states that the Towing Company raised their price on him without warning. On the tonnage of his ship he expected to pay 5600, according to the O., R. & N. Co.'s printed schedule, but the company charged him on a basis of the lineal measurement of his cargo and sent in a bill for 5900. The ship will be towed down the river today and the captain hopes 'to get away without further difficulty. The vessel carries 1.0S2.127 feet of lumber, G14G bundles of lath and 150 cases of salmon, of a total value of 51S.720. Eddy, Folk & Co. are the exporters. WRECK OF THE ARRANMORE.

She carried as cargo 113,676 bushels of wheat valued at 591,000. The cargo was dispatched by the Northwestern Ware house Company. The vessel arrived at her destination September 8 and is pre sumed to have discharged her cargo. ' Steamboat Solicitor Arrested. To Improve travel during the quiet Win ter "months, the Regulator and Spencer Companies have been employing spielers, something after the style of hotel run ners, whose duty was to t-y to divert travel to their respective lines. Yester day three such solicitors were working for the Gatzert at the Regulator dock when Captain Spencer was informed that only two licenses were held by the company. He' promptly swore out a warrant for the arrest of J. Stockman, and the man was taken Into custody. In the Municipal Court yesterday Stockman's case was continued until Monday. It was said at the Regulator dock that no unlicensed so licitors were employed, but that Stock man neglected to put on his badge. Heather Takes Coal to Lightship. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 14.-(Special.)-The lighthouse tender Heather, which arrived in today from Puget Sound, after an ab sence of six weeks, reports having placed 26 tons of coal on board the Umatilla Reef lightship yesterday morning. The run down the coast was In the face of a se vere gale, and was the first opportunity given to test the vessel under such con ditions. , Captain Gregory says that she proved herself to be an excellent sea boat, and In fact he was never on board of a bet ter one. While off the mouth of the river this morning she sighted a large tramp steamer standing off shore, and it Is believed to be the Ascot . Duns Law Sailors Desert Ship. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) When the British bark Duns Law -was placed alongside of a wharf here to have her cargo examined Captain Nichols placed a watchman on board to see that none of the crew deserted, but already over half of them are gone, and it will be almost Impossible to keep the bal ance. Nearly the entire crew are landsmen, and their recent experience has driven out of them all desire to become sailors. One Unauthorized, the Other Slang. Which Is correct, "alright," or "all right?" and gie authority. SUBSCRIBER. There is no such word as "alright," and tho phrase "all right," as' commonly used is slang, and ought to be tabooed by everybody. Monitor Is Seaworthy. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. The officers of the monitor Wyoming reported upon arrival at Acapulco that only 24 tons of coal remained in the vessel's bunkers. Had rough weather prevailed the monitor would have had to fall back upon the Concord or Marblehead, both of which were not far away. The vessel behaved well on the trip down, and gave satisfac tory proof of her seaworthiness. At last accounts the monitor was at Acapulco. High Water Not Likely. In spite of the almost continuous rain, the river has ceased rising here and at upper points It is falling. At Albany yes terday a drop of 3.3 feet was reported. At this city the river was almost sta tionary at 9.1 feet. Acting Forecast Of ficial Wollaber, of the Weather Bureau, does not expect the Willamette at Port land to go beyond 10 or 11 feet during the present rainy spell. Repairs on the Chinook. . ASTORIA.
