No ships of any kind will go to Portland when the battle ships go to pugct Sound, and as yet no definite arrangements have been made for sending; any war vessels to the Portland Rose Festival, though every effort will be made to get some smaller craft there by that time. Sec retary Mrtcalf told Senator Bourne he would do his utmost to send some cruis ers and torpedo craft to Portland "some time during the Summer," and that In as oefintte as any assurance et made. Aa the cruisers are not going north from San Francisco with the battle ships. Portland, r seems, will not ace ny of those ships during their visit .0 the North Pacific. 1-ater In the teason. it is probable, some of the cruisers will go north and call at Port land. Mr. Bourne had a further conference with the Navy Department today. He fayg the itinerary published of the ovements of the fleet from san Fran avo to Pugct Sound applied only to ttleshlps. and not to cruisers or tor-?do-boats. Senator Bourne is ti'ylnar arrange to have the cruisers and orpedo-boats reach Portland bv June and remain during the Rose Festival, is not certain that this can be done, some of the vessels may have to docked and overhauled at San Fran sco before proceeding north. It Is certain, however. Mr. Bourne vs. that one and possibly two cruis- and the torpedo-boat flotilla will 't Portland some time during the r of the Atlantic fleet In Pacific T-ra.

Metrger fl;s gl asset for fl.00 San Francisco Judges to Cor rect Many Abuses. . CORPORATIONS AT FAULT SjMrm by Which They Control liti gation Will Be Abolished Po lice Magistrates Mu4 Also Mend Their Ways. SAN FRANi'lsro. April 11. Sneclal. Two speeles of court reform will be launched In San Francisco net week, the Intention being to correct abuses which have grown up of late years. The ahtwes ara charged against large corporations and an especially apparent In damage suits and cases affecting men with poli tical pulls. By a peculiar practice of the courts every plaintiff In a damage suit against th street railroads. Southern Pacific and other large corporations has been compelled to deposit feea to the extent of 9M a day. On this account a poor man could not press a damage suit, or the corporations could drag a case along until the plaintiff, even if he were well io do had exhausted his nuances. This condition will be' corrected as the result of a meeting of the Superior Judg held thla afternoon. The fees will not be required hereafter. The greatest reforms, however, will be made in the police courts. Mayor Taylor has Investigated the methods of the local police courts and has threatened to re move the judges unless they correct con ditions. The Judges hold half a day of court, then go to the races in the after noons. They are accused of Axing casea to suit political friends and of allowing a gang of corporation Jury bribers to operate under their very noses. An a result of the Mayor's aetlon not a Jury "fixer" was in sight today when the police courts opened. The lowr courts were conducted with unaccustomed dignity. ORDER FOR GROUP BONDS Lumber Asoclulion Wins Point Over the Railroads. SEATTLE. April 11. The Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Associa tion and the Shingle Mills Bureau won a significant victory today over the railroads In securing an order from the United States Court allowing them to substitute group bonds instead of one for 1 2 )0. 01)0 to protect railroads for rate difference on forest products, pending a decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the reason ableness of the advanced tariffs. Judge C. H. Hanford. sitting In spe cial aegsfon, overruled every conten tion of the railroad attorneys. He ordered that Western Washington be divided Into 12 districts In each of which two bonds, one to guarantee new rates on lumber and one for shingles, are to be filed by shippers In that district. James B. Kerr, arguing for the rail roads, claimed that the ruling of the court will put the small mUlowners out of business and create a monopoly for a few rich shippers. Lumbermen attorneys said the mills would shut down if their application for group bonds was not allowed. -when it comes from us EASTER SUNDAY IS APRIL 19 X -you know it's right -it's COLUMBIA TAILORED From the time you begin to make up your mind you will buy your Easter Suit at the Co lumbia Woolen Mills Shop While you are se lecting the goods when you are being meas uredwhen you get your "try on" when the alterations are made to suit you during all the cutting when the boy delivers it to your home all the time the work is in charge of ONE WHO KNOWS.
