Lounsbury, general freight agent of the Oregon-Washington Kail- road & Navigation company, from the traffic department of the Union Pa cific system at Omaha that the Inter state commerce commission has sus pended for 90 days the operation of section SO of the merchant marine law recently passed by congress. This section provided that only American owned ships could enjoy a preference in export and import freight rales of railroads. This would compel tor- eign-owned vessels to absorb a dif ferential equivalent to the difference between domestic rates and the pref erential export or import rates. Much of the traffic passing tnrougn Pacific coast ports originates in the Rocky mountains, and the natural ef fect of this section would be to force the owners of foreign vessels to take their cargoes at Atlantic and uun ports to secure the uenem 01 me shortest necessary ran naui iroui point of origin. When the bill was penains Deiore the conference committees of con gress the possible effect of its opera tion was pointed out by the Pacific coast shipping interests. It is an ticipated that the suspension of this clause may become permanent. 200 MEN HUNT FOR GIRL I?ainicr, $30,000 . Pledged to . Endowment Last Year Faculty to Can vass for Students.

Morale of Passengers Excellent, Despite Long Voyage Across Pacific From Siberia. WASHINGTON, June 12. Arrival at Norfolk of the army transport Mount Vernon, carrying 4000 Czecho slovak troops. 900 German war pris oners and 2S0 women and children, was reported today to the war depart ment by Captain Ferguson, com mander of the vessel. Captain Ferguson in a radio dis patch filed as the transport was en tering the Virginia capes, denied re ports received yesterday by the Czecho-Slovak legation and the Red Cross that several suicides had oc curred aboard the transport after she had broken her propeller off the south Atlantic coast. ... "Despite the long voyage across the Pacific from Vladivostok and around through the Panama canal;"' said the commander's report, "the morale of the passengers is excellent. Reports as to suicides having been committed on the ship are entirely erroneous." The loss of one propeller. Captain Ferguson said, caused him to abandon the direct route to burope and neaa into Hampton Roads. The transport probably will be in drydock at Norfolk for several days, he added, and in the meantime the re turning troops, war prisoners and passengers will be cared for by rep resentatives of the Red Cross, Y.

Neither of the shots took effect. Buss told the police that he went home from work and found his wife tired from a trip down town. They quarreled when he asked her to cook supper, and finally the woman seized a ,32-caliber revolver and threatened to shoot. Buss says. He seized her hand as she pulled the trigger and both shotswent through the front door of the house and across, the street. A squad of policemen under Lieutenant Moloney and Inspector Mallett broke down the front door of the Tiouse, expecting to find that a murder had been committed inside. The husband and wife were released on bail and their case set for trial in the municipal court tomorrow. Portland's new municipal terminal No. 4 is declared th finest on the Pa cific coast In a statement by Walter Parker, general manager of the New Orleans Association of Commerce, published in a recent issue of that association's new bulletin. Mr. Parker has just completed a survey of port conditions througnout this coast with a view to determining the advisability and probability of the establishment or a steamship line to connect the Pacific coast with New Orleans and other gulf ports. An impartial analysis of port con ditions on this coast is given by Mr. Parker as follows: "Los Angeles' hopes run high. It has a harbor with extensive possibil ities, and has erected some facilities. It has fruits and long staple cotton and may soon desire to sell automo bile tires in the Mississippi valley. Its territory can take from New Orleans coffee and European products ! trans-shipped and Mississippi valley manufactures. Ciolden Gate Is Poor. "San Francisco's harbor is not well equipped and. cost of handling is high. It has enjoyed a monopoly among Pa cific coast ports and its present situa tion reflects that fact. Through the aid of triangular Japanese lines it gets coffee from South and Central America and receives much oriental commerce for distribution throughout the United States. But San Francisco is beginning to feel the severe pres sure of enterprising ports on the Pa cific "Portland has begun to show real vision and has erected one terminal which reflects all the economies of shipside- storage in complete co ordination with rail lines. This terminal is capable of highly eco nomic service. Portland receives cof fee by trans-shipment from San Fran cisco. It has canned fish to send to the Mississippi valley and couH take coffee and Import and domestic manu factures from New Orleans. Seattle Held Invest. "Seattle is the livest port or the Tacific. Its equipment is good, but it has no terminal so well equipped as i'ortiand s new terminal. It con trols the bulk of the Pacific coast fishery commerce and lumber ship ments. It3 oriental steamship serv ice is destined to become better and better but its European and Latin- American service will not become general for a long time. "Thus far the Pacific coast ports have worked wholly along individua lines and I do not find any strong evidence of co-operation between them to build up Pacific coast busi ness. This may come, and probably will come when San Francisco shall have made greater progress in the creation of more economic terminals.' Mr. Parker's conclusion as the re suit of his survey is: "In my opinion the day is not far distant when coastwise line plying between N-w Orleans and the Pacific ports as far north as Seattle will offer many at tractions." Seattle ofrice announced today. The Union Oil tanker la to be- in the -coast service the latter part of this month, it was said, so that that, company's gasoline supply would be increased some time before Aug ust 1, the date previously Riven aa the time when more, gasoline could be ex pected. . - ; COOS BAY, Or.,- June 12.

Representatives of steamship companies sajd today that the high prices make It a profitable business to transport the product all the way across the Pa.ciflc profitable for both the oriental refineries and the steamshin comnanies. The movement began on such a small scale at first that no attention was given to it in shipping circles, but then came the 200.000-pound shipment of the Nippon Yu sen Kaisha, followed by the 2."0,i)uo-pound consignment on the Mitsui steamship, the arrival of these two shipments causing decided slir. in waterfront circles. The Mitsui shipment of cube sugar is still Proposed Chansc Urged as Benefit io Portland and All Other Pacific Coast Ports. -V reduction in ocean and transcon tinental rail rates on crude rubber to facilitate the movement of that com modity through Pacific ports is to be asked of the Interstate commerce commission by a group of the princi pal rubber manufacturers in the east, according to Information received by the traffic bureau- of the Port of Portland and oock commission. Under conditions prevailing at pres ent, rubber can be carried from Sin gapore to New York through the Panama canal and then by rail to Akron, O.. at a cost of J11.63 per ton less than the cost of carrying the rubber from .Singapore to Postland or any other north Pacific port" and thence overjand to Akron. By routing their rubber shipments from Singapore and the Straits Set tlements through a Pacific port, how ever, importers save an average of 13 days' traveling time, and this is held to be the principal reason that rub ber shipments have come to this coast at all. instead of taking the less ex pensive route through the Manama canal and New York. It is believed by the traffic bureau that if rail and water rates can be equalized over the two routes, prac tically all of the rubber imported from across the Pacific will move through Portland, Puget sound ports and San Francisco, while now only a small portion of the business comes this way.
