o'clock yesterday morning when
struck by the intercoastal freighter

at a bend in the east channel at the
lower end of Swan island, a exhort
distance below the Portland Flour
ing Mills company's plant.
Of 39 In the crew four, were known
. to have been ashore at the time. The
dead are:
Ben iWeling, fuel passer, 68 years
of age
Thomas Campbell, fireman, 48
years of age.

Freighter Headed for Sea.
The Mg freighter was headed for
ilea, having left terminal No. 1 about
midnight on iher way to Grays Har
toor, after having discharged a few
hundred tons of New York cargo
here. She was upstream from the
dredge when passed by the river
steamer Beaver, arriving from the
lower river, and reports were that
Captain S. 6. Dalby, pilot aboard
the Santa Clara, was unable to
awing the Santa Clara to avoid the
dredge after having given the
Beaver freeway.
When it became apparent the ship
would strike a donkeyscow, at the
end of the dredge pipeline. Captain
Dalby ordered an anchor let go and
the engine reversed, sounding the
whistle danger eignal. The alarm
was credited with having roused
some of the men ton the dredge, the
day shift being asleep on- the port
side, and perhaps averted more
deaths.
The ship was said to have carried
the donkeyscow and pipeline, with
Its floating pontoons and other
gear, against the stern of the
dredge on the port side, the hull
being cut. So great was the pres
sure from the big vessel that the
dredge was turned completely
around, her bow virtually heading
upstream at the time she careened
and settled on her beam ends. She
.sank in two minutes.
Campbell Thought Caught.
Andrew Smith, a fireman, whose
berth was above that occupied by
Campbell, said when he was
aroused by the danger signal and
commotion he had time to notice
that Campbell was out of. his
berth, so it was assumed he Was
caught in the wreckage. Smith
jumped into the water and swam
to a fuel barge, which had been
cut loose from the dredge and tn
which many of the men had man
aged to climb. Others had gone
over the side and were swimming
to it. O'Connor was hauled aboard
the fuel barge. He was at work
at the -stem of the dredge and oh
going overboard was entangled in
wreckage which was said to ac
count for the bruises.
The Santa Clara stood by but it Is

Portland Is Total Loss.
The Portland is & total loss, ac
cording to James1 H. Polhemus,
manager of the Port of Portland,
who went to the scene before day
light anl made a close inspection
of the position of the digger. As a
result of the accident llbed pro
ceedings were instituted against the
Banta Clara in the sum of tlOO.COO
and a deputy United States marshal
etarted for Astoria to intercept the
ehip and serve th papers, but
hortly after he got under way in
a. powerful automobile word was re
ceived that the vessel had passed
out of the Columbia river at 1:30
o'clock in the afternoon.
The opinion was expressed yester
day that all of the crew aboard had
warning of the approaching crash
and that those who lost their lives
were drowned, not caught in the
sunken dredge. A diver was at
work yesterday afternoon and his
operations may be continued today.
The Portland lies In 33 feet of water.
Wellng Has No Relatives Here.
Ben Weling, who had been em
ployed by the port for about ten
years, had gone off shift at mid
night, while Thomas Campbell, who
had been in the service two months,
and Benjamin G. Johnson, who was
aid to have been with the port or
ganization more than .15 years. Were
of the day shift and had been asleep.
Mr. Weling's record shows he had no
relatives In this city, the nearest of
kin being cousins residing in North
Xakota,and Minnesota. Mr. Camp
bell left a wife and 15-year-old son,
residing at 10301 Fifty-fifth avenue
Southeast. Mr. Johnson had no rela

The dredge had completed a cut

the channel Friday and was turned
round to extend the cut at the
lower end, so is declared not to have

the Santa Clara "took a sheer" after
the Beaver passed and he exercised,
all possible precautions in lettfng
go an anchor, putting the engine
full astern and sounding the danger
signal.
Captain James Blake, master of
the Portland; J. J. Layton, chief en
gineer; M. J. Malone, machinist, and
one of the levermen were at home
at the time. O. JU Boater, leverman
on duty, made every effort to lift
one of the "spuds," huge timbers
that hold the digger in position when
at work, also to lift the ladder, so
some of the force of the Impending
crash might be lessened and the
dredge allowed to awing with the
ship, but the impact allowed him
little time. He managed to lift only
the ladder, or cutting edge, a short
distance from the river bed.
Wireless Message Sent.
Captain Stephenson, master of the
Santa Clara, 'sent a wireless mes
sage at 1:07 o'clock, setting forth
that- the Portland had been sunk
and asking for aid to take the
crew off. The message was picked

UPHOLSTERERS YET OUT
Contest With Employers Becomes
Test of Endurance.
Though rumors of peace In the
existing strike of upholsterers were

Th strike, called about six weeks
ago, has resolvea into a test of

Soon after January 1 local uphol
stery manufacturers slashed prices
and also wages. A war bonus of tl
a day was cut from t-he men's pay,
bringing upholsterers' wages down
to $7 a day. Nothing resulted a.t the

Permanent, fixed levies, author
ized by the voters, beyond the 6
per cent tax limitation, such as the
millage taxes for the state univer
sity, agricultural collegre and nor
mal school, the levies for market
roads, elementary schools and the
like, as well as the S-mill tax in
the city of Portland, must be passed
on by the state supreme court to
determine their validity, according
to Henry E. Reei, ex-county as
sessor.
Mr. Reed, who has made a care
ful study of the constitutional pro
vision limiting' tax levies, is in
clined to disagree with the views
taken by members of the tax super
vision and conservation commission
that unless the special levies are
voted for a specific term of years
they are not valid.
"The validity of permanent fixed
levies that are placed outside, the
limitation is an unadjudicated ques
tlon, and sooner or later will find
its way Into the supreme court for
a ruling," Mr. Reed said. "When
the issue la made up the decision of
the court will be on the meaning1 of
one little word of three letters
the word 'any' as it occurs before
the word Year in the opening sen
tence of the constitutional limita
tion, which reads as follows:
" 'Unless specifically authorized
by a majority of the legal voters
voting upon the question, neither
the state or any county, municipal
ity, district or body to which the
power to levy a tax shall have been
delegated shall in any year so exer
cise that power.' "
Mr. Reed points out that In
grammatical construction the word
"any" unless followed by the word
"one" is taken in the plural sense.
He points to court decisions in
which "any" is ciTnstrued to mean
'all" and other decisions where it
is construed toT mean "every."
'As used in the tax limitation
amendment adopted in 1916, the
words 'any year' would appear to
support the construction of 'all
years or 'each one of all years,'"
Mr. Reed continued. "If this is
correct and the point can be de
termined only by a aupreme court
decision then the permanent mill-
age taxes for the university, agri
cultural college and normal schools.
as well as other similar state levied,

FOURTH-GRADE PUPIL, AGED

Mother Says Progress Due Largely to Obedience Youngster's
Intelligence Declared by Educator to Be; Unusual.
DURWOOD LEE ALKIRE. who
will be years old on Satur
day and is a pupil In the
fourth grade at Arleta school, would
seem to have a fair start toward his
life's goal of president of the United
States. Durwood Is the son of Mrs.
Pearle Alkire and bad never at
tended any school until this fall,
when he qualified in examination
and was allowed to enter the fourth
grade. His first report card showed
practically every grade "E."
Durwood's education began In the
mornings when his mother curled
his long blonde hair. When she
found that he grasped readily all
she offered, she gradually offered
more. At the age of 2 he knew his
letters and at 3 he was reading In
his primer. Before he was 4 years

years he had mastered his multipli

SCHOOLS URGED TO TEACH
STUDENTS HOW TO LIVE
Complete Existence, How to Think, Work, Save, and Be Happy in

VIEWS of a present-day edu
cator on the subject of educa-
tion' are summed up In a paper
called "What Knowledge Is Most
Worth?" by Constantine M. Panun-
xlo, head of the department of so
cial science of Willamette univer
sity. Professor Panunzio usea tne
substance of tne paper as an aa-
dress which he delivered before the
laymen's association meeting of the
Oregon conference of the Methodist
church, recently held in Salem. Ex
cerpts from the paper follow:
"As the schools of the state or
Oregon once more throw open their
doors to thousands of pupils, once
again comes to mind the question
Herbert Spencer asked nearly three-
quarters of a century ago: What
knowledge is most worth? Should
the school aim to Impart general
and indefinite information or should
it strive to furnish the student with
Information of a definite and prac
tical character with a direct bearing
upon life? Spencer believed in the
latter. He severely criticised the
educational system of his day.
Bow to Live Topic
"If this be true then education.
Instead of Imparting Indefinite and
aimless knowledge, should rather
teach youth to consider: How to
care for the body, how to treat the
mind, how to manage one's affairs.
how to bring up a family-ow to
behave as a citisen. how to utilize
all the resources of happiness which
nature supplies, how to uee the
faculties to the greatest advantage j

re-enacted in 1920. "
But Mr. Reed admits that the tax
commission has the upper hand and
hence the city must have the 3-mill
tix ratified again by the- voters at
the November election. A decision
by the supreme court, Mr. Reed
points out, would put to an end the
expensive elections that would be
necessary In case the question is not
finally adjudicated.
