THE STJXDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 13, 1910.
CHICAGO BEGINS
FIGHT Ofj SALOON
Finl Test of Strength to Be
Made at Polls on
April 5.
LAW & ORDER LEAGUE OUT
Only One Reform Organization An
nounces Stand and It Will Not
Actively Assist Campaign
Wnicb Opens This Week.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12. (Special.) With
the beginning of next week, the bat
tle over the existence of the saloon
will be on, to continue with increas
ing Intensity until April 5, when the
final test of strength will be made at
the polls. i
On Monday, the Anti-Saloon League
will open headquarters and from there
the army of men and women who will
be In the field constantly until elec
tion day will be directed in their ef
forts. The general campaign committee met
In the offices of the Anti-Saloon League
Friday to map out the work that
la before it. Action was taken look
ing to the harmonious co-operation
of all the forces which will be engaged
In the fight to abolish the saloon in
Chicago.
United Effort to Bo Made.
Tho endeavor to secure the united
effort of all the reform organizations
In the fight have been successful ex
cept as to a single organization, ac
cording to Information that was given
out today. .
The one organization that has thus
far seemed lukewarm toward the cam
paign, is the Chicago Law & Order
League, of which Arthur Burrage Far
well Is the secretary in charge. In a
conference between Mr. Farwell and
James K. Shields, superintendent of
tho Anti-Saloon League, it was formal
ly announced that the Farwell organi
zation will not actively assist the cam
paign. I am personally opposed to the sa
loon on principle," said Mr. Farwell,
"and I shall use my personal influence
to further the fight that is now being
waged. Nevertheless, the organiza
tion I represent does not seek to
change laws nor to carry elections.
Our object Is only to secure a proper
enforcement of the laws that now exist,
and for that reason we can take no
hand In this fight."
Superintendent Shields admitted that
the executive committee of . his or
ganization is disappointed at the' atti
tude of the . Law and Order League,
although he expressed confidence in
the personal views of Mr. Farwell.
Hints of Ill-Feeling Heard.
Despite the amicable statements
given out by the heads of the two or
ganizations, it is known tat . there
have been hints of ill-feeling between
them ever since the time two years
ago when the Law and Order League
nrst announced the policy of not offi
cially Indorsing the Anti-Saloon League
movement.
Opponents of the local option prop
osition will make a double-headed
campaign, but there will be no clash
ing of interests. The united societies
which represent a tremenffoue voting
population will devote a large part of
their energies toward impressing on
their members the importance of going
to the polls and voting. The officers
believe that the polling of practically
the full strength of the organization
will insure them a big victory and
their efforts will be directed' to that
end. '
The battle for the liquor interests
probably will be directed by an organi
zation of the business men who believe
they will be affected adversely, di
rectly or indirectly by the adoption of
tho local option proposition. These
Include tho hotel and restaurant meu
and others. They probably will be or
ganized during the cqjning week and
will have charge of much of the edu
cational campaign.
Assisting these two organizations
will be the Manufacturers' and Deal
ers' Association, which will direct the
large part of the financing of the
campaign.
FIRM GIVES BIG DINNER
Columbia Trust Company Employes
Dine at Commercial Club.
The entire staff of the Columbia
Trust Comapny, consisting of officers,
salesmen and office force, gathered
at the Commercial Club Friday night
for tho third annual banquet of the
company. At this banquet a unique
programme was arranged at which the
various members of the company hand
ed keen quips to the others present.
The programme was conducted as a
good-natured farce and the talks were
all- In a decidedly humorous vein,,
except a spech by President Clark, who
outlined the work for the coming year.
At this meeting a vote was taken on
a name for the new addition purchased
last week from E. L. Thompson. The
vote showed a great majority In favor
of the name Verona Heights, Verona
Park being the strong contender. The
name was chosen from the name of
President Clark's sister. Miss Verona
Clark.

VANDERVEER HAS PUNCH
SEATTLE PROSECUTOR THROWS
OtJT VISITOR BODILY.
In Renewal of College Wrestling
Vim, S. B. Parlier Is Soundly
Trounced.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 12. (Special.)
In an exciting fight in the corridor of
the Melhorn building today Prosecuting
Attorney George F. Vanderveer ejected
S. B. Parlier from his office after giv
ing him a thorough beating. He there
by settled out of court a long-contested
case that has given himself and office no
end of trouble.
. "You can't insult me in my office,"
shouted Mr. Vanderveer as he kicked
Parlier out of the door.
"I don't like you anyway. Get out of
here.'" yelled the Prosecuting Attorney,
his face purple with anger.-
"Tou can't put me out," answered Par
lier. as the two men clinched.
The Prosecuting Attorney was not slow
In using the science of fighting and
wrestling he had acquired 'when he was
the champion intercollegiate wrestler of
the Coast and when he was an athlete In
Stanford University and the Columbia
Law School.
The two men whirled through the
swinging doors fighting like demons and,
clinching, fell to the floor. Here, with a
well-timed toe-hold and a half-nelson on
his adversary, Mr. Vanderveer soon
gained the upper hand. The crotch-hold,
the barlock and a few of the other well
known knockdown and drag-out- fight
holds soon had Parlier helpless.
"I'll go," cried Parlier. but Vander
veer's anger increased and the pommel
ling continued. The noise brought dep
uties and detectives from their rooms into
the hall and they saw their chief pulling
himself away from Parlier, who, not
waiting for the elevator, raw down the
stairway.
Parlier had loaned his roommate, D.
C. Hudson, a suit of clothes to wear to. a
dance. Hudson was accused of pawning
the suit after the dance and Parlier had
him arrested. Tho case dragged along
through the, courts for a long time until
Parlier. growing tired of the delay went
to Vanderveer to remonstrate with -him.
In the argument that followed he ac
cused Mr. Vanderveer of conducting the
case in an Irregular manner, whereupon
Vanderveer proceeded to throw him out
of the office and added a good beating
for good measure.

ASHORE: 51 DROWN

Passage Scene of Latest
Sea Disaster.
205 ON BOARD RESCUED
Four Score or More Persons Left on
Wrecked Ship, Rescue Being
Impossible Xo Drinking
Water Tanks Burst.
SANTIAGO. Chile, Feb. 12. The Pa
cific Navigation Company's steamer
Lima Is ashore on one of the islands in -
the Huamblin passage of the straits
of Magellan, and probably will be a
total loss. The chief pilot and 50 pas
sengers were drowned.
ANCUD. Chile, Feb. 12. The British
steamer Strathurst has arrived here
with 188 men and women and 17 of
the crew of the steamer Lima, which
Is on the rocks in West .Huamblin pas
sake. Straits of Magellan, where the
steamer went aground In a storm re
cently. The steamer officials report
having left 88 persons aboard the
Lima, their rescue being Impossible.
Tiiere is no drinking water, the tanks
having burst.
The stranded steamer Lima is a -British
vessel owned In Liverpool and plying be
tween that port and ports of South
America. She was last reported as sail
ing from Bah la Blanca, Argentina, on
January 26, and was on her way to Chil
ean and Peruvian ports.
The Lima is 401 feet long, registering
3115 tons, and was built in Glasgow in
1907.
The place where tho steamer was
wrecked probably is Humblane Passage,
located between the south shore of San
Pedro Island ' and Chile. It is a narrow
passage full of dangers and difficult of
navigation. Humblane rocks, two In num
ber, and 65 feet high, mark the entrance
to the passage.

TCO AND 3 2 ME ARE SOUGHT
Navy Department Anxiously Hunts
for Nina on Atlantic
"WASHINGTON, . Feb. 12. Somewhere
off the Atlantic Coast between Norfolk
and Boston the. little naval tug Nina,
with 32 men on board, te wallowing in the
great billows with broken machinery
awaiting the arrival of one of eight
Government vessels now speeding to her
supposed location. The tug Is in com
mand of Chief Boatswain John Croaghan.
As bad as is the prospect. It ia the
est hope of the officials at the Navy
uepartmem lomgnt. xne alternative is
that the Nina Is at the bottom of the.
sea with a bare chance that her crew
has been rescued.
Last Sunday the Nnia steamed out of
Hampton Roads for Boston. Before the
day was far advanced a stiff northwest
wind sprang up, making what sallormen
call a "nasty sea."
Under ordinary conditions the tug
should have arrived at the Boston Navy
yard last Tuesday, but It was only yes
terday that the naval officers here began
to feel serious apprehension for her
safety. As no word of her arrival
reached the department today. Immediate
search was ordered.
From Norfolk went the swift scout
cruiser Salem and the battleship Louisi
ana. These- vessels were instructed to
cruise as far as Cape May along the
coast. From the New York Navy-yard
the collier Culgoa started on a cruise
and she will be followed soon by the tugs
Apache and Pontiac.
The gunboat Costine and the Collier
Caesar left the Boston Navy-yard to
join In the search. Then the revenue
cutter sen-fee went to the assistance of
the Navy and orders were flashed to the
cutters Acushnet and Gresham, at Bos
ton and New London to take part. v
The problem is similar to what is
known as a 'search problem' in naval
strategy.- The ocean is divided Into
squares, a sertain number being assigned
to each t the searching Bhips.
Naval officers believe the Nina broke
a shaft or dropped a propeller and was
blown off shore by the northwest gale
Into one of the deser&d spaces outside
the regular "lanes" of travel.
ONLY ONE AMERICAN IS LOST
IIl-Fated General Chanzy Carried
San Francisco Actor.
MARSEILLES, Feb. 12. The French
transatlantic line asserts that no pas
sengers embarked , on the General
Chanzy. wrecked in the, Mediterranean,
after the regular passenger list had
been made up.
According to this list the only
American on the steamer when she
foundered off the coast of Minorca on
Wednesday night was Leon Derenda, a
vaudeville performer, of San Francisco.
The woman reported as an American
was Miss Hlsie Herly, who was uorn
at Epernay, France, but recently re
turned from a trip to the United
States. It was reported yesterday that
an American named Delymm was on
board, but no such name appears on
the passenger list. $
The steamship officials received
nothing during the day to encourage
the hope that more than one person
out of the 157 on board survived.
