Th Chamber of Commerce ha aecured
a tatciiicnt from Vh-e-President and
General Manager It 1'. Schwerln, of the
San FrancUco and Portland 8Uamhlp
CVnnpany, wheruby Portland awl Astoria
will be on the lamo footing a regard
the Item of marine Insurance,
l'pecially alnce the dentruotion of the
teamaliip Columbia there hu been
moro than uauul dUwatinfuction among
Aatorla merohant becaue the cargoes
lliey bad en route from San Jrandnco
were total low, wberea the cargoe
en route on thU teamhlp from Kan
rraiicUco to Portland were being payed
fop In full by thi irtdimnhlp company.
Jlic following ri'volutlon wa paued
by the CliatnlxT of Commerce at the
meeting held Monday night, Auguat 19:
"Whore, the Sa FraucUco & Port
land Stcaiiulilp Company i now and ha
for a long time been dicrlmiruiting
agaiimt Atoria hlpper in that chip
lr from Portland have their cargoes
intured by aid tiaiii"liip company,
while thoc from Antorla are not thu
cared for, therefore, be It reaolved, that
ic,iicti'd to place Atoria on the ame
liquated to pla Antorin on the me
footing with I'ortltnd; and that if thi
reuet I not g run Led by aaid general
manager, that relief be (ought through
the Oregon State ltailroad Coimniion
and tlie Interstate Commerce Com!
lion"
(iencral Manager 8chcrlu ha replied
to the letter containing thi resolution
and ha promiMsl to place Aatoria on
Urn itame footing aa Portland after
January lt. lie will do thla by discon
tinning the inuranc of Portland ear-
gH' and not bv Insurance of Antoria
enrgw. While it would have U-en more
agreei.ble to AtrU to have had a recti
nVathm of this grievance made by injur
ing Alori cargoe the same a Port
hind cargoe were Insured, yet it i
better for the commercial Interest of
Astoria that thi port be put on the
me footing with Portland in the way
Mr. ScliMcrin ha promiM-d, than that of
the old way which make a discrimina
tion against Astoria and in favor of
Portland.
Vice-President and General Manager
Schwerin under date of September 20th
ha written to Manager Whyte of the
Chamber of Commerce a follow;
"I regret very much that your letter
to me bearing no date but embodying
the resolution of the Chamber of Com
merce of Ati ia pa-ed on Monday
night, August 10th, and received by me
oit August 24th and transmitted from
Uii ollice to our attorneys, Jtcssr.
Knight, and Ib'ggcrty, on August 27th
should have lain dormant in their office
until Septcmbr 2.1th. I write this letter
o that there may lie no im-undcrstand
ing that there was any intention to act
in the slightest degree discourteous to
your Chainlicr of Commerce, and I must
apologue for the lapse of our nttor
ney.
'"In regard to the issue which you have
raicd setting forth tluit you consider
it a discrimination between the ports of
Portland and Astoria in view of the fact
thut cargoes destined to Portland nnd
point lieyond is covered by ithe open
policy of the San Francisco 4 Portland
Steamship Company and that destined
to Astoria is not so covered, I have to
advise you we do not consider any such
discrimination take place.
"Shipments to and from Astoria are
regular murine risks and such shippers
as customary, cover th nwrinc insurance
uiKin their cargoes; shipment to Port
land nnd points beyond have been con
sidercd in the past as railroad risk and
therefore the steamship company applied
what might be considered a railroad ex
pene bill on shipments to and from
Portland or points to and from beyond
Portland. The Pacific Coast Steamship
Company ha never- assumed a marine
risk on any gooda destined to op from
Taoonut and Seattle but only to and
from pointa beyond Tacoma and Seatle
I know- of no other steamship company
that provide thi class of insurance ex
cent the San Francisco & Portland Com
4nny but I may say tluit on fhe 1st of
January, 1908, this company will with
draw the underwriting on any cargoes
on its steamer except to points that
are purely railroad connections of the
steamship company; in other words, on
wilwt might be considered inter-line
freight."

ROBERT WILBERG ON TRIAL FOR
LARCENY HARRISON ON STAND
TELLS STORY 07 HIS UNDO
ING.
The circuit court opened yesterday's
proceeding by calling the case of the
Stale of Oregon vs. Robert Wilberg,
charged with larceny. The jury which
nas not completed until 2:45 is com
posed o fthe following gentlemen: Percy
11 Allen, J. V. Walker, Jas. Finlayson,
Frank Cunningham, E. M. Grimes, John
Svenson, Frank Brallier, L. Myllenbex-k,
Geo. E. Hills, M. Devereaux, A. C. Miller
and Perry Titus.
Harrison was brought from the county
jail and placed on the witness stand.
He testified substantially as follows:
On the Cth of March he was sent by the
cashier of Skidmorc A, Co., of Portland,
by whom he was employed as messenger,
to their bank with money and checks
amounting to about $414. Of this
amount $300 was in gold, silver and
currency, including a $100 bill He had
been subject to epileptic fits, previously,
and after leaving the store he had a
queer feeling and was not aware of what
he had done until he found himself on
the train for Astoria. After arriving
hore he engaged rooms and started for
the postoftlce but found tlie window
closed. He next found himself in the
-mliKin wherein he became acquainted
with Wilberg. lie spent some money
there and remained until about 2:30. He
went to his room accompanied by the
defendant who there struck him in the
face. They next went to a house he
could not-' apecify. Next inorning ; he
missed hia money. Everything waa gone
and he complained to the landlord who,
after lie had told hia story, ordered him
to move. Objections of the counsel for
the defense as to his sending for the
ohief of police, and what occurred were
sustained by the court. He stated that
he found $17 in silver on his table with
coin wrappers of Skidmore & Company
in the slop jar. He had a $5 bill and
50 cents in silver when he left Portland
in addition to Skktaore & Company's
money. He remembered seeing the $100
in the bank book. i
His cross-examination by Attorney
Fulton waa very severe. During the
cross-examination he admitted that
when he reached Astoria be bad a dif
ferent suit of clothes on to that worn
by him when in Portland, but did not
know where he got It.
"Is it not a faot," asked Fulton, "that
you had the bank book 15 minutes be
fore your arrestt"
"I did not," answered the witness.
Fulton asked him that if it was shown
that he had changed a $100 bill at the
Waldorf would it not prove that he waa
