THE COLUMBIA PORT
BOARD TODAY
PILOT BOARD UNDER OLD REGIME
HOLDS ITS LAST MEETING AND
CONCLUDES ALL BUSINESS.
The pilot board at it has l-ea con
stituted till today, held its last .meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the office
of Judge Taylor, The Port of Columbia
board come into being and thereby
ustes the old commission today. The
business transacted by the pilot board
yesterday was the outlining of report
to be made to the governor and the
conclusion of all business up to date.
Th, report will contain a lull account of
what ha been done by the late board,
tating the expenditures that nave been
made and will set tforth the present
conditions of the pilot service: the num
ber of licenses issued to pilots, the
number of vessels and of what tonnage
brought in and out, and the fees col
lected by Oregon pilots, a report con
cerning the condition of the pilot Schoon
er San Jose, belonging to the state and
the cost of maintaining her up to date.
The report is not yet in shape, but
when completed will close up the busi
ness of th old board to date. No steps
bare been taken towards a resignation
of the old board nor anything of the
kind. In fact, no notice was taken of
the bill in the way of questioning its
validity or it, effect upon the old board.
AH three members of the board were in
attendance. Included in the report will
be a list of the Oregon and of the Wash
ington pilots on the river.
It is considered by many that if the
supreme court holds the bill unconsti
tional they will also hold the repealing
slause unconstitutional and the wnote
bill would therefore collapse. In that
ease the old board would still be in
office and would continue to act
The time of commencement of action
by the lawyer, engaged to test the con
stitutionality of the bill is at preent
indefinite, and, until the new board
is organized and doth some act
which amounts to an injury or threat
ens an injury, it is not likely that any
thing will be done. The parties intend
ing to contest would have no basis until
such act or threatened act is committed.

Case To Be Fought Through Courts-
Final Decision In Year.
WASiriXGTOK, Msy 22.-U is not
the intention of the Interstate Com
mere. Commission to await the result
of the proceeding to compel E. 11.
Hanrimin to answer certain inquiries
put to him in the New York investig
tion before taking action on the general
subject of the investigation. In opinion
of the members of the commission, it
may be a year or two before the final
decision can be reached regarding the
refusal of Ilarriman to answer the
questions.
Proceedings will be instituted in New
York the latter part of the month or
the first of next month. It is expected
thst if the court upholds the commis
sion, Ilarriman will carry the case to
the higher court. Should the lower
courts rule in his favor it U Drolnble
the commission will carry he matter
up. The case would have been brought
earlier,, but the attorneys of the com
mission have been engaged in other
work.
Arguments in the Standard Oil cases
which are taking place in St. Paul are
occupying the attention of Messrs. Kel
lojrg 4 Severance snd they will not be
able to take up the Ilarriman matter
until sitter these are finished. Without
reference however to the determination
of the question, the commission will
consider the merits of the general In
qijiry into the Harriman lines and reach
its conclusion on the facts presented.

FRISCO GRAND JUST.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The National
Association of Manufacturers went on
record today In favor of a revision of
the tariff and the negotiation of more
treaties. A debate preceded this vote
on the report of the committee oh the
tariff and reciprocity. The' committee
based its recommendations on the poll
of the 3000 members of the association.
Of the total number replying, 65 per
cent declared for immediate revision,
while 20 per cent expressed a "hands oil
sentiment." Kight per cent bellevej the
time for a revision had not arrived and
the other 17 per cent expre-sed Indiffer
ence. Four hundred menroers and guests
were present at the tKinquet at the
Waldorf-Astoria tonight, and the bal
cony boxc were filled with women.
President Van Cleave, of the associa
tion, spoke briefly, saying that he de
sired to contribute the slogan that
"Americanism Must Rule America."
"This association," he said, "has no
fight with the labor unions except as
American citizens should fight that sort
of labor unionism which trie to dic
tate as in San Francisco. It i proposed
to fight no union, but simply fight for
the rights to manufacture under the
conditions of industrial peace. ' To work
when and where he pleases is the de
mand on behalf of the worker by the
employers."
Secretary Strauss was greeted as he
rose to speak with much applause. He
