THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, DECEMBER 1, 1907. .- f ct mm hud AS METROPOLIS Hill Predicts Decline of New York Because Too Ex pensive. CLOGS WAYS OF TRAFFIC Greatest Hallroad-Bulltler Predicts Nation's Commerce Will Seek Oilier Outlets to Kscapc the Constant Delays. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. (Special.) James J. Hill, foremost of transcontinental rail road builders and developers of the great Northwest, sat In his office In the Mu tual Life buildlnir this afternoon with a largo map of the United States before him. On it were traced various lines of railroads, rivers and canals, each in dif ferent color. "New York." said Mr. Hill, "has readied the climax of her commercial supremacy. No city can maintain its control when Its chief claim Is that It Ik the dearest place in which to do busi ness. The cost of everything relating to trade, and commerce has increased here beyond the point of profit. Traffic will be forced to seek other outlets, business other locations. The tax imposed upon business In New York is enormous. Your real pHtate, your docks, your means of communication, all are burdened with heavy charges. Your budget this year Is somewhere About J140.mW.000. That is more than tne cost of running the Fed eral Government before the Civil War. Traffic Seeks Other Outlets. "The price to live and to do business In New York is growing beyond the abil ity of the people to stand. They will be forced to go elsewhere, seeking places -where the cost is more reasonable. It Is easy to disintegrate commerce, much easier than to concentrate it. What has taken years to establish may be lost quickly. Traffic cannot be dammed up. It will seek an outlet somewhere by going around the edges or making for Itself entirely new channels. The enprmous products of this country flow outward toward the markets of tire Kast and of Kurope. They hnve moved toward New York only to find two great ob stacles delay in transit and high cost. Delays In Wheat Shipping. "The measure of prosperity Is the ease and certainty with which com modities may be moved. What must be the effect, then, on the producer and shipper of the West to encounter In the Autumn a blockade at Buffalo that holds up Ills products for days, and weeks. The boats on the Great Lakes bring down their cargoes from the Northwest, only to find that the short stretch between Buffalo and the sea board is blocked. The shipper inquires for how long. He Is told that the de lay will be for two weeks, and how much longer no one can say. Ship to Other. Ports. "From the prairies to Liverpool the average time required fir shipment of grain is 40 days. Twenty and some times 23 days of time are consumed In covering the short distance between Buffalo and New York. The result of this has been to compel grain-lViyers In the Northwest to make their pur chases on the basis of carrying the grain In storage until Spring, and the farmers have been compelled to suffer the loss. 'There are two outlets for the West possible of development besides New .York and the adjacent ports. One Is through Canada down the St. Lawrence and the other down the Mississippi to New Orleans." Open Tunnel Under Hudson. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. Closely follow ing the opening of the new tunnel under the East River to Brooklyn in January, Rill come the opening of the railway tun nel under the Hudson to Jersey City. The tunnel was begun In 1874 and the Northern tube was not completed until 1904, sev eral companies having failed to do the work. Each tube is la'i feet in diameter and S700 feet long. Connections ihave been made with the New ork terminus and the public stations at Sixth avenue and Thirty-third street, the site of the new Pennsylvania station. Complaint on Missouri Pacific. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen has filed with the Postmaster-General a com plaint against the Missouri Pacific Rail road for maintaining tracks alleged to be unsafe, thereby endangering the lives of postal employes. The com plaint was referred to the Second As sistant Postmaster-General. CANNON BY ACCLAMATION (Continued Worn First ri,-e.) country will rightly place that responsi bility upon my shoulders. I hope to dis charge the duty devolving upon me gen erally to your satisfaction, though to no iiian is given the wisdom of recognizing the full Hblllty of each member of this body, and even if it were it Is only in the great committee of the whole house that all can find work fitting to their energies and capabilities. IS THK DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE John Williams Chosen Minority Leader Advises Football Tactics. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. By agree ing to place in nomination for Speaker John Sharp Williams, of .Mississippi, the Democratic members of the House today In effect decided to continue him In the position of minority leader for the Sixtieth Congress. The nomination of Mr. Williams was agreed on in a caucus of the Democratic members held ill the hall of the House of Represen tatives, beginning at 2 o'clock today. Representative Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama, presided, and Representative Ryan, of the Buffalo, N. Y., District, was chosen secretary. Immediately after the organization of the caucus had been completed, Representative Thomas, of North Caro lina, was recognized, and he proceeded Ht once to place Mr. 'Williams In nomi nation. There was no opposition, and Mr. Williams was elected by acclama tion. t In presenting Mr. Williams' name, Mr. Thomas said in part: The Nominating Speech. Re-elect him minority" leader, fellow Democrats, and from whatever part of the United States you come, whatever your personal views as to Democrat; poll- cles, you will find him fair to all, aggres sive yet progressive, the best type of Southern statesmanship, of a Democracy which believes with Jefferson in equal rights to all and special privileges to none; which opposes monopoly, which stands for strict construction and stands always for the rights of the people and the states. I For four vpars he has led" the Demo cratic hosts upon this floor. Always at his post of duty and the forefront and thickest of the fight, he has been able, adroit, skillful, honest, courageous and successful. His tact and energy: power of organization and ability as a debater have been unsurpassed by any leader of the minority without exception, in my opinion. From the time he entered the 53rd Con gress to this good hour he has never made a fight where victory were possible In Mississippi or here which he did not win. Football, Tactics Advised. Mr. "Williams was absent from the chamber when his election took place, but he was soon afterwards escorted to th.e floor by a committee appointed for that purpose, and spoke at some length, thanking his fellow members for the con fidence reposed In him and promising to serve them to the best of his ability. He especially urged them to stand together in the spirit of party principles, saying it was important at this time that the Democrats should have "team work." "We should," be said, "work together as a football team, and by so doing we may win Important victories in the fu ture." Candidates for the other offices were designated as follows: Clerk of the Houie, Charles A- Ed wards, Texas: Sergeant at Arms, J. Tel Hngton, North Carolina; Doorkeeper, H. H. Graper. Tennessee; Postmaster, R. L. Douglas, South Carolina; Chaplain, Rev. E. D. Bagley, District of Columbia. These nominations are merely complimentary, as it is recognized that the Republicans will organize the house. Robert E. Cow ert, of Texas, was chosen deputy Ser geant at Arms. Nominations were made for other spe cial offices as follows: Paul D. Potter, Pair Clerk; F. B. Knight and J. J. Sinnott, Messengers. The offices disposed of, Mr. Hay, of Virginia, Introduced a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the caucus that a bill for the revision of the tariff should be Immediately introduced, and providing thaj unless it is promptly reported by the committee on ways- and means the Democrats should object to all unanimous consent agreements for the passage of bills. Mr. Henry, of Texas, offered a sub stitute providing for the appointment of a committee to report to a Democratic caucus to be held next Tuesday, suggest ing an outline of the Democratic policy as to legislation during the approaching session. The amendment was ruled out of order, and before any action could be taken on the Hay amendment, the caucus ad journed without date. DEFENDS ON THE VOTERS ISSUE AT OREGON CITY WILL BE DECIDED MONDAY. Supporters or Proposed Excise Law Will Deliver Final Blows From the Pulpit Today. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 30.-(SpeclaI.) Aside from the final blows that will be hurled at the liquor interests of Oregon City by the ministers from their pulpits tomorrow, the campaign over the pro posed excise ordinance has practically reached an end. and it is a wise man in deed who can prophesy the result of the fight with any degree of certainty. Money Is being offered that the measure will fail to carry, but no takers are found, as the adherents of the measure ere not betting men. The battle has been strenuous, and will linger in the memory of the people of Oregon City even If the ordinance fails to pass. It is generally conceded that few votes were changed by the big mass meeting at the Shively Theater last night, when L. C. Otto, ex-Chief of Police of Lincoln, Neb., and now a real estate dealer In Portland, talked of the workings of the law In hl9 town, where the excise board Is elected by the people Instead of being appointed by the Mayor, as is proposed by the local measure. Mr. Otto says the appointment of an excise board confers too much power on one man, 'but he points with pride to the situation in Lincoln, where there are 62,000 people. 43 saloons paying an annual license of $1500 In advance,, and a police force of 25 people. On the other hand, Ernest Mass, of the Willamette Falls Company, who recently returned from a trip to Nebraska,-states that he saw more disorder and drunkenness In Lincoln than in all of the other cities he visited, and that he also saw whisky and beer sold in that town on Sunday. The vote of the papgrmakers, which is by far the majority of the vote of Oregon City, will determine this question Mon day, a'nd this element is claimed by both sides. Oregon City receives $9600 per annum In saloon licenses, and the opponents of the excise ordinance are asking the voters where the revenue for the city Is coming from If the measure Is carried. W. S. U'Ren, the father of the initiative and referendum; C. Schuebel, who is an aspirant for United States District Attor ney: C. H. Dye, Clackamas County Repre sentative in the Legislature; John W. Lo dcr. a candidate for Mayor in opposition to Dr. W. E. Carll;, the pastors of the Presbyterian, Methodist. Baptist and Con gregational churches and scores of women are the leading pplrlts who are trying to secure the enactment of the excise ordi nance. Mayor Caufleld is sitting tight and say ing nothing on this question, but is bend ing his energies toward the passage of three charter amendments. Dr. Carfl Is likewise not seeking trouble. In fact,- the great body of the people of the city, busi ness men and property-owners alike, are saying nothing, but their votes will count, on election day. HOPE TO FIND LAND AHEAD Arctic Expedition Will Continue Ex. plorations in the Far North. VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. 30. A letter received from Ernest Lefflngwell. one of the leaders of the Anglo-American Arctic Expedition, dated from Fiaxman Island on August 20, via Point Barrow, In October, says that although the Ice trip taken last Spring failed to show the existence of land in the Beaufort Sea, there were many indications which gave the explorers hope, and Captain Mikkelsen 'will make another trip over the Ice to seek for unknown land from Demf ration Point northward, next Spring. Lefflngwell will remain two years to survey the coast and carry out geological work Inland. Mikkelsen, after his trip over the ice next Spring, will go eastward on a whaler to do some work In Canadian territory. Receiver for Lasclle Bros. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 30. (Special.) C. G.

TLLS ABOUT THOSE LOANS Says He Risked Illinois Central Funds to Bolster Vp Falling Bank Fish Says They Try to Obscure the Issue. NEW YORK; Nov. 30. An appeal for proxiec to be used for- the purpose of preventing the re-election of Stuyvesant Fish to .the directorate of the Illinois Central Railroad Company is made to stockholders of that company in a letter signed by J. T. Harahan, president of the road, and the following directors: Charles A. Peabody, Robert Walton Goe let, John W. Auchincloss. Cornelius Van derbilt, J. J. Astor, E. H. Harriman and A. G. Hackstaff. The document sets forth that these di rectors are unwilling to submit longer to what are characterized as Mr. Fish's "unjustifiable attacks, prompted by our refusal to re-elect him president of the company last year." Charges against Mr. Fish's manage ment of the property during his Incum bency are made, the first being that pre viously made public, to the effect that he loaned more than $1,500,000 of money of the Illinois Central to himself Indi vidually, first on proper security, and that later unmarketable collateral was substituted for the proper securities origi nally deposited. Deposits in Falling Bank. ' Other charges against Mr. Fish are con nected with deposits made In the Trust Company of the Republic. It is alleged in the letter that wh J2.000.000 already In that company Mr. Fish, "without the consent of the directors, on January 7, 1903, deposited EOO,000 Jn addition of the Illinois Central's money with the trust company, when it was practically in a failing condition: His kinsman was president and he was director and mem ber of, the executive committee and active In its management." It Is set forth that it was impossible to obtain these de posits at once and It was only by gradual withdrawals, during a period of many months, that this money was finally re covered. It is further charged that Mr. Fish assisted In "padding" the reports of the Trust Company of the Republic to the State Banking Department by depositing money on the eve of such reports and several alleged Instances are set forth. Another charge is that Mr. Fish loaned J57.O0O of money of the Illinois Central to the Trust Company of the Republic and that the Illinois Central lost over J40.000 of the amount loaned. Mr. Fish Is criticized f&T accepting elec tion to the directorate and executive committee of the Missouri Pacific, which Is declared to be one of the strongest competitors of the Illinois Central. Mr. Fish said: Fish Says They Dodge Issue. This desperate and vicious attempt to get Proxies for the avowed purpose of re-electing B. H. Harriman and perpetuating Union Pacific control of the Illinois Central is In fact a confession of defeat. It it be Mr. Harrlman's purpose to divert attention from the bad eminence he attained through the Chicago & Alton disclosure and his invest ments for the Union Pacific by striving- to throw mud at me, he has mlsjudg-ed the Intelligence of the stockholders of the Illi nois Central. All of the calumnies in the circular of November 27 were also contained In a circu lar dated September 24, signed J. T. Hara han, president.- As soon as I saw its false charges I replied to them in great detail In an answering- interview, which was given to the presB and mailed to stockholders on September 26. " This repetition of slanders, misrepresenta tions and idle tales will not conceal from the stockholders the real issue, which Is the re-election or the rejection of Mr. Harri man..

"END THE HOLIDAYS" IS. WAIL OF THE PROFESSIONAL JUROR Cessation of Trials at Courthouse Leaves Him Without Occupation or v Revenue. THESE! are sad and troublous days for the professional juror. The rather numerous individuals whoi have been wont to hover about the county building awaiting the call of their name for the service of passing judgment on their fellow mortals at $2 per pass, have found themselves lacking' In a visible means of support since the holiday season set in. Circuit Court judges, janitors and others i regularly employed about the county building feel the banking holidays only as a period of. few duties and many leisures. But the professional ' juror has been cut off from his sustenance. There are scores of prisoners in the County Jail awaiting the ' thoughtful, nicely discriminating and sentimental services of the juror. But while the bank ing holidays continue the professional Juror must let his abilities lie dormant and In many Instances give his stomach a long rest. ' " , Needless to say these gentlemen, of them there are something Mke a dozen, heartily favor a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of determin ing the limits of the holiday law in Its application to the legal machinery of the state. They term the present Inaction of the courts as a public outrage. Now that they have nothing else to do, small groups of them group sadly about the gloomy old rookery that serves the county as its rendezvous and comment on the existing order of things. "Simply because Ed Harriman and a few of that kind have. got the country's securities discredited and there's a little flurry and the banks have to close, I don't see why the judges of the country should go on a strike, " walled one pro PRICE OF BEEF GOING UP Tacoma Packing; Companies An nounce Advance on Monday.

The Cars tens Packing Company will also get 714 cents for steer beef. While beef will go up half a cent, trimmed pork will drop as much. . , . ' t Muscovite Lodge Election. The' annual election of officers and initiation of new members of the Mus covite Lodge, a branch of the Oddfel lows, was held last night in the Odd fellows' Hall, at First and Alder streets. W. J.

Thompson will address the meeting-, his subject being, "Christian Science vs. Socialism." , The Man of Today BENJAMIN'S CORRECT CLOTHES. Represent the best styles of the season. Perfect in fit and Workmanship. SUITS $20-$40 OVERCOATS $20-$50 RAINCOATS $20-$35 Always pleased to show fessional juror at the county building In telling his grievances yesterday. "Looks to me like a lot of people are just taking advantage of a chance for a little vacation," he added presently. "Why don'J they go ahead with their cases. Look at the poor devils that are being held down there in the County Jail waiting for their trial. Maybe some of them are innocent. That could soon be found out. They've been jjpere about a month now without a chance to get a trial. It Is lawful enough to arrest them and throw them In jail but it's Illegal to give them a trial and see whether they belong in jail or not. Majesty of the law and bedamd!" and the profes sional juror expectorated lrrttatedly at a passing canine which chanced to look well fed and prosperous. "They're having Jury trials in the Municipal Court," someone timidly sug gested. "Yes, but they only pay $1 a sitting there for Jurors and besides those are only petty cases. If a man Is charged with gambling or trying to elope with another man's wife or of giving a choking man a drink on Sunday he can be tried but if he beat his wife or is identified as a thug by some man that spent his money for automoplle rides and Invented a holdup yarn to placate a sus picious wife, why then he's got to wait in the County Jail until the holidays are over, death from general debility not Intervening." There is the chance, too, although the juror did not say so, that the county will be unable to try its cases after the holidays because, of a lack of jurors. Unless the holidays are called off soon they may all starve to death or get back Into the habit of working for a liveli hood. CLASH WITH SOCIALISTS Police Order Orator to "Move On" and Riot Threatens. " Trouble that has been brewing for several weeks between the local police and Portland Socialists came near breaking out at 10 o'clock last night in violent form, when J. D. Stevens was Interrupted In a fierce tirade against capitalists- and corporations. officials of the suspended Title Guar- ... o i i . i i oiireo ii usi vuiiiijaiiy in particular. He was speaking to probably 1000 people at Fourth and Washington streets, when Patrolman Wade el bowed his way through the crowd to the stand and Informed Stevens, that he would have to "move on." Stevens refused to move, but ceased speaking. The sight of the blue uni form In the crowd created great excite ment, and there was a wild rush to ward the speaker's stand, which was at 1 first taken for a demonstration against the policeman. Immediately Patrol Sergeant Cole and Policeman Harms put in an appearance, and the crowd fell back. . Stevens and his auditors did not know It, but the uniformed officers were to have been assisted. If there had been any trouble, by a plain clothes squad, consisting of Captain of Detectives Bruin, Detective Sergeant Brady and Acting Detectives P. Ma loney. Price and Coleman. These of ficers were dispatched to the scene so that in case of any disturbance, there ould be ample policemen to handle the situation, but their services were not required. Stevens, who has had truble with the police before. Is one of the most deter mined Socialist orators, and when or dered to move on, made various sar Msmwwmti i Realizes the importance, of being well dressed.
