Loggers Organize to Protect

OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Plan Is Either to Curtail Output ol
Camps or to Slake Minimum
Price or Logs $11.00
a Thousand.
Protection of the yellow fir timber
Industry, either by curtailing the out
put or by maintaining a minimum price
for which this product shall be sold.
Is the object of the Columbia River
Yellow Fir Loggers' Association, which
effected permanent organization In
Portland yesterday at a meeting at
the Imperial Hotel. Officers were
elected as follows: President, W. F.
McGregor, of Astoria; vice-president,
Albert Brlx, Astoria; secretary, P. So
renson. Portland: treasurer, F. C. Lit
tle, Portland. These officers are also
members of the executive committee
of nine members, the other members
being R. S. Farrell, A. W. Clark, J.
B. O'Gorman and H. O. Alger, of Port
land, and H. C. Clair, of Marshland.
Owners or representatives of 18 of
the principal logging camps on the
Columbia River and its tributaries at
tended yesterday's meeting. This rep
resentation includes practically all of
the large camps in that district, with
the exception of those operated by saw
mills. The minimum price at which
logs shall be sold by members of the
association was fixed at ill a thousand,
although loggers' at the meeting re
ported several sales at $12. A consti
tution and by-laws for governing the
association were adopted.
E. H. Brehm, of Seattle, manager of
the Washington Logging & Brokerage
Association, addressed the Oregon log
gers, detailing the operation of a sim
ilar association across the Columbia
River in Washington. He said through
this organization the Washington deal
erg are able to control the output of
fir timber and at the same time regu
late its market price.
Another meeting of the Columbia
River Loggers' Association, from which
the yellow fir organization resulted,
will be held in Portland next Saturday.
The old association was organized dur
ing the recent lumber-mill Btrlke in
this city, and by closing down all camps
while the strike was in progress, was
successful in preventing the accumu
lation of any great surplus of logs to
the injury of the market. It differs
from the more recently organized as
sociation in that It includes In Its mem
bership dealers In all classes of logs.
Independent of the sawmills. Fully 90
per cent of the logging output on the
Lower Columbia River and Its tribu
taries is represented in the member
ship of the association.
CAN BAR MAN IN UNIFORM
Sailor Thrust From Dancing Pa
vilion Can Recover Only 25 Cents.
PROVIDENCE, R. I.. April 20. Chief
Yeoman Fred J. Buenzle, who was barred
from a dancehall in Newport because,
as he says, he was wearing the uniform
of the United States Navy, can recover
at' law only the price of his admission
ticket, according to a decision handed
down by William H. Sweetland, chief
presiding officer of the Rhode Island
Superior Court. The decision, which
overrules the demurrer raised by the
defendants, says the legal rights of a
man wearing the United States uniform
are not different from those of any other
well-behaved person who possesses a
ticket of admission to any place of
amusement.
Judge Sweetland rules that Buenzle.
excluded because he was wearing a naval
uniform, is in no different position, le
gally, from one who is excluded because
he is not in evening dress or for any
other reason, though it may have been
but the whim of the defendant.
In other words, the Judge said, the pro
prietors of a place of amusement are not
under any obligations to admit any per
Bon whom they may choose to exclude.
Suit was brought against the Newport
Amusement Association, proprietors of a
dancing pavilion at Newport, from which
Buenzle claimed he was excluded last
September because he was wearing a
naval uniform. The management ten
dered to him the 25 cents he had paid for
lils ticket, but Buenzle brought suit for
damages. He was given financial sup
port by naval officers stationed at New
port, and President Roosevelt sent a
check to help defray the expenses of
prosecuting the case.
The court holds also that the action Is
not properly one for damages for the
wrongful exclusion of the plaintiff, but
Is an action for breach of contract be
cause of the failure of the defendants to
carry out the contract they made when
they sold the ticket. This covers only the
recovery of the admission price and the
expense Incurred in attempting to obtain
admission to the pavilion.
On the breach-of -contract phase of the
case the demurrers of the defendants are
overruled and they are ordered to plead
on or before April 30.

GERMAN SPORT FAIR OPENS
Kaiser Tries to Induce People to
Amuse Themselves.
BERLIN, April 20. Crown Prince Fred
erick William opened the International
sport exhibition here today In the pres
ence of the Crown Princess and Prince
and Princess Eitel Frederick. The Duke
of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the opening
address stated that the object of the
exhibition was to combat the prejudices
still existing among many Germans
against sports. He hoped the exhibition
would popularize sports in the father
land and bring the nations represented
closer together in peaceful competition.
Emperor William takes great Interest
In the promotion of sport In Germany,
having for a long time past given prizes
and otherwise tried to Induce the Ger
man people to devote more attention to
athletic exercises. His majesty lent a
large collection of hunting weapons to
the exhibition, which includes ballooning
exhibits and displays of articles used In
all other sports except automoblling.

weary and worn out, take Hood's Saxsa-parilia.
