ALL ME TUFT IS IN THE LEAD E U G FAMOUS UP SALE BLQGKAD If Norwegian Steamship Now in Port Made History as . a War Vessel. HALVORSEN HER MASTER SMp Succeeded .In Jiiiiiniiig tlie Jap anese Lines in Landing a Cargo at Vladivostok During the Late War in lhe Orient. Captain C. L. Halvorsen has resigned from the command of the Norwegian steamship Tungua and his place on the steamer has been taken by the mate. The latter assumed charge of the steamer yesterday morning and will take her out on the present voyage. Captain Halvor sen will go home In her as a passenger. The Tungus and her ex-commander. Captain Jlalvorsen, attained considerable notoriety during the Russian-Japanese War. The Tungus was one of the most noted blockade runtiers operating on the Siberian Coast. The Japanese navy de partment kept a list of vessels which were fjivlng trouble and the Tungus headed the list, it finally reached a point where the Japanese were compelled to charter the Norwegian steamship in ordqr to prevent her from entering the Russian ports. She was the only vessel which reached Yladivostock at the time of the battle of Shantung promontory, August, IfHH. At the same time the Russian fleet tried to r fleet an entrance to the harbor at Port Cnrl I.eamler Halvomen, Former Tungus. j Arthur but was nearly destroyed by the Japanese. The Tungus reached the straits of La Perouso at the same time as the Russian cruiser Xovig. 'The man-of-war set a course for the town of Korsakofsk U?ughalin), but encountered two Japanese cruisers and lost. In the mean time the Tungus sought anil found shelter In a small cove on the Eastern shore of Saghalin. While, tho engineers were cleaning the fires and fixing up the en gines for a hard run the mates and bailors busied themselves in painting the steamer from the top of the foremast to the rudder post. She was painted the same grayish color as the Japanese war vessels. During the transformation scene Captain Halvorsen enjoyed himeelf in fishing for salmon. When night fell the Chief Engineer was called to the bridge and was asked. "Are you ready?" "Yes Captain," he replied, "everything is ready In the englneroom." "Well," responded the Captain, "when I signal for you to force that coffee mill of yours. Just drive her for your life. If you don't it means something hotter than hell for all of us." With all lights covered Captain Halvor sen set his course direct for the Japanese forts. Intending to run their line of patrol ships and torpedo-boats. When two miles off the Captain ordered the engines hooked on and ehe pa&sed so close to the fort that a stone could be thrown ashore. - Daylight found the vessel afa in the Gulf of Tartary and the fol lowing day siie reached Yladivostock. For his bravery in running the. blockade Cap tain Halvorsen was decorated with a large gold medal by the Czar. Till: W.VLDKX ABBEV CLEARS lirltish Ship Carries Full Cargo of Wheat to Vnited Kingdom. The British ship Walden Abbey, Cap tain Campbell, cleared yesterday .for the rniteuV Kingdom with 101,294 bush els of wheat, valued at J93.S00. She was dispatched by Kerr-Glfford & Co.. and is the niuth grain ship to clear foreign for the present month. The total exports amount to 1.181.148 bush els with a valuation considerably in excess of a million of dollars. The grain market has been slack on the Continent for some we?ks. Car goes are not In demand and charters have been slow, exporters and specu lators being content to look after what ships they had fixed. Cal-les received yesterday show a slight stiffening of the Liverpool .market and there, will probably be a few charters made this week. Exports for February and March wilt come close to record breakers for those months. February will clear toreign upwards o'f two million bushels and It is a short month. For March loadlnsr there is a large amount of tonnage am? with tTle rates at which the charters were made and the condition of the market, it is not the sentimunt of the shipper to pay any demurrage .claims for lay days. fecuttle Head New Revenue District.

Becker, assistant to the Attorney-General, leaves tomorrow night for San Francisco and Los Angeles to represent the Government in two im portant Oregon land-fraud cases. Reaching San Francisco, Mr. Becker will confer- with Francis J. Heney re garding the "case of Coe D. Barnard, which comes up on appeal in the Cir-' cult Court of Appeals this week. Bar nard wag convicted of perjury in the Federal court here in August' 190S, in connection with some - homestead claims in Gilliam County. He took an appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. When the Barnard case has been disposed of, Mr. Becker will go to Los Angeles, where he will appear for the Government in asking for the removal to Oregon for trial ot Warren Gillellcn. R. W. Kenny et al, o.f the Pacific Coast Lumber & B'urnltui-e Company, who were indicted for land-frauds in this state. An order was granted about a year ago directing the removal of the case against these defendants to Ors jron, but on appeal to the United States Supreme Court the order was set aside on some technicality and it now comes up for rehearing. This case Is considered one of the most notorious of the extensive land fraud proceedings In this state. Gil lellen and Kenny and their associates, it is charged, fraudulently acquired about 18.000 acres of choice timber land near Port Orford, .Curry County, and afterwards organized a corporation under the name of the Pacific Coast Lumber & Furniture Company, throuarh which the promoters proceeded to sell stock.

WANTS THE FIRST BALLOT Fears Effect of Intricate Political Deals in Convention The Field Is Divided Fairbanks' Desire f6r Public Life a Factor. ORBGOXIAN NEWS .BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 15. Secretary Taft is today the leading candidate for the Republi can Presidential nomination. ; On that point all politicians- and political writers are agreed. But there is a wide differ ence of opinion as to the size of his lead. In Administration circles it - is believed that Taft can safely count on endugh votes to grfve him the nomination on the first ballot and have a margin somewhere between 50 and 100. Among the friends of other candidates, now popularly alluded to as "the field," it is declared that Taft, while ahead of all others, lacks from 50 to 100 of the necessary number of votes to nominate. Taft's strength is probably overestimated by his friends and under rated by his enemies. A conservative es timate would give him today very close to 5J0 votes; maybe -enough barely to nominate, or a few short of. the required m. While Tiaft today has reason to believe that he can count on practically enough CEI.EBRAfES HER NINETY FOURTH BIRTHDAY IX PORTLAND. TMrii. Mary C'llne. Mrs. Mary . Cline, pioneer of 1S44. celebrated her 94th birth day recently at the Patton Home in this city. With her husband and. five small children Mrs. Cline crossed tho plains in 1844. arriving at The Dalles in . Oc tober of that year. After a short stay at that place she moved to Oregon City, the trip down the Columbia being made In Indian canoes. After wintering at Ore gon City, a homestead on Sau vie's Island was taken up, to which place she moved in the Spring of 1845. En route to Ore gon from Iowa, her native state, Mrs. Cline helped provide fresh meat for the members of her party". Being an expert rifle shot, several buffalo and numer ous small game animals fell before . her deadly aim. Mrs. , Cline Is stlll ln good health, has lived to see children of the fifth generation; is always glad to see her friends, and, loves to relate her experiences in crossing the plains with the old ox-team. votes to nominate, he Is not so foolish as to believe that he need, only await the as sembling of the convention to secure its indorsement. Secretary Taft is no novice in politics; his experience has taught him that many changes can be wrought in four months, and, knowing that the nomination is yet to be won or lost, he will proceed accordingly. Having the lead over his competitors, he proposes to hold it. if possible,1 and to increase it if he can.. .Xo other candidate in the held will be more active than he, and -none more earnest in his campaign. Having entered the race, he is going to make the best run possible, and go under the tape well in the lead. He wants to bo nomi nated on the first ballot, not alone be cause of the-honor that would attend such a victory, but because he is aware that intricate deals, fathered by his ene mies, might disseminate his strength if there should be a prolonged contest. i President's Indorsement a Help. When it first became known that Pres.. ident Roosevelt favored the nomination of Taft, the Cry went up' against allow ing the President to dictate to the con vention, and it was said that Roosevelt's indorsement would prove a source of weakness to Taft. Subsequent develop ments have shown that Roosevelt's in dorsement is very valuable to Taft, and will aid rather than injure his candidacy. The President is not trying to dictate to .the convention: he is not helping Taft in any improper way, but. knowing all the candidates intimately, he has weighed them individually and concluded tha't Taft is best fitted for the Presidency. He therefore, desires his nomination, just as he favors the best man in every rape for office. It is. true he does not always pick the best man, but where he makes, mis takes of judgment he has not had the same- opportunity of studying the men that has been given him in judging the various candidates for the Republican, nomination. . , Bound to Be Contests. It is said by the anti-Taft men that the strength of the War Secretary has been greatly overestimated in the Southand that many states below tho Mason and Dixon line will have contesting delega tions In the convention. These contests must be heard and decided by the Repub lican National Committee. That there will be contests is admitted. But how will the National Committee decide? The anti-Taft men clulm 30 committeemen and concede 23 to Taft. Representative Burton, of Ohio, one or Taft's most loyal supporters, makes a much fairer esti mate. He claims 20 committeemen for Taft, concedes 8 to the combine, and lists the remaining 26 as doubtful. With Taft's present strength scattered over the country, it is reasonable to believe that St vr-''-s if -;V Unequal Showing Advance Spring Garment Styles There never was a season in the history of Portland merchandising in which a more diversified or attractive showing of fashionable designs was offered than the present at J. M. Acheson's. From the plainest to the extremes, the "new styles .ideas are showrn in prodigal variety. Hundreds of new garments to select from. Handsome Tailored Suits, made in all the newest styles, of very best materials, all wanted shades for Spring wrear, shown at $17.50, $22.50 AND UP FROM $25.00 Extra Special 50 Suits in plain and fancy mixtures, strictly tailored; some . charming new stvles; values up to 7 7Z, $27.50; Monday 4-L . O Wholesale and ' Retail ha would get enough votes out of the doubtful list to aid him in securing the nomination. Some of the states having the largest popular vote, and which are admittedly not for Taft, have no greater representation on the National Committee than has Nevada or the territories. "Advantage Over the Field. Now York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, all with favorite sons, and a.i against Taft, are far stronger in the cpnventlon than in the National committee. The strength of the combine lies primarily In the large number of delegates from the states opposing Taft. Yet these states are no" stronger in the committee than are the smallest states that today favor Taft. This gives Taft a marked advantage over the field, in the settlement of con tests, and if a majority, of the states send delegations to the convention favoring Taft as against all other can didates, it is quite reasonable to expect the National committeemen from those states to' give their support to the War Secretary, It is said that the commit tee may have it In Its power, by decid ing contests from the South, to name the nominee. Should such a contingency arise Taft's chances would be enhanced. Field Cannot Get Together. lTp to the present time the anti-Taft element has not been able to unite. Each one of the favorite sons is pulling for advantage hoping that the Taft opposition may concentrate on him. The Knox people do not shine to Fairbanks or Cannon or Hughes, nor do the Hughes supporters show any friendli ness for Knox or the others. They may concentrate later on, or they may play for advantage right up to the time the convention assembles and votes. But today they are working Independently, each knocking Taft In the way that sems best. In fairness it should be said that Governor Hughes Is not per sonally knocking Taft. or any other candidate, nor is he personally negoti ating for the support of Knox, Fair banks, Cannon or any other man. But tho Hughes leaders, the men who have kindly undertaken to ' engineer tho Hughes boom, are adopting the same tactics resorted to by the Knox, Fair banks, Cannon and LaFollette men. Fairbanks Turning to Hughes. In this connection it should be noted that Mr. Fairbanks, who still entertains a faint hope of being nominated as a compromise candidate, has decided that he could not be renominated as Vice President on the ticket with Taft, and is today strongly inclined to make overtures to Hughes, in the hope of getting the - support of his followers should the tide turn in the direction of the New Yorker. Fairbanks now realizes that his geographical location would prevent his nomination with Taft. for the country would not likely stand for a ticket make up of men from adjoining states. This same rea son would prevent a combination "be tween Fairbanks and Cannon, or Fair banks and LaFollette. If Fairbanks wants o .be the tall of the Republican ticket he must look to. Hughes or Kno;T, and Hughes Is today far-more likely a nominee" than is the Senator from Pennsylvania. But plncu Mr. Fair banks would tie up with any candidate if he thought by. so .doing he could be carried into office. ' Fairbanks Wants to Stay in Game. Fairbanks wants something out of the game; he wants to continues in public life.- His experience as Senator and as Vice-President has given him a thirst for more, and if he can't have either of those Jobs again, and can't get the Presidential nomination, he will try to swing his support to the winning candidate in the hope of securing some aprointive office, either In the Cabinet or Diplomatic . service, which will en able him to remain on the Government pay-roll. The Vice-President Is really a factor to be reckoned with, and ho is going to use the Indiana votes to his own personal advantage if he can. The truth is there are many Indiana Repub licans who have no admiration for Fair banks, and there will be Indiana dele Many Rousing Departments 0& AGHESON gates who support him on the first ballot solely because of state pride. It may turn out. In the event ot a contest, that Fairbanks will not be able to de liver all the Indiana delegates If he undertakes to do so. But watch Fair banks. He don't propose to be left out in the cold If he can help It. NEARER TO HEAD CHURCH Reasons for Mrs. Eddy's Change ot Residence. PORTLAND, Feb. 13. (To the Edi tor.) So varied and conflicting have been the reports relative to the change of residence of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy from Concord, N. H., to Boston, that your readers will doubtless be glad to know the real facts, and ac cordingly the following brief, authen tic statement Is submitted: The principal reason for Mrs. Eddy's removal to Boston is naturally that she may be more closely In touch with tho Christian Science movement, of which Boston Is- the center of activity and of which Mrs. Eddy is the acknowledged leade& After a residence of 17 years at Pleasant View, in Concord,! during which time Christian Science has had its greatest growth, the responsibil tles. .of the loader have largely In creased, and therefore It can readily be seen that a new establishment with modem conveniences and accommo dations for a larger household would become a-necessity.

In reference to the attendance of a physician during the journey to Bos ton, it can be stated with authority that Dr. Morrill accompanied Mrs. Eddy as a friend and relative, and there was no cause for his presence in a professional capacity. The Boston Globe, which gives an accurate account of the matter, states that Mrs. Kddy was not fatigued by tho journey; that she looked very well In deed, and that she walked up the steps of her new home and expessed herself as pleased1 with the arrangements for her comfort which had been inade and carried out.
