SUIT DISMISSED Of A Pool Of Property Owners, Vic tims Of The San Francisco Fire. NEW YORK, June 19.-The suit of a pool of property owners who sus tained losses of several million dol lars in the San Francisco fire of 1906, against the Helvetia-Swiss Fire In surance Company,( has been dismis sed by Judge Hough in the United States Circuit Court. The Helvetia Swiss Company had taken over the risks of the Rhine and Moselle Fire insurance Company, before the con flagr?tion, under an agreement to pay 95 per cent of all losses. Sustaining a aemurrer ot tne , tieivetia-swiss Company, that an insurance contract of this nature cannot be enforced at law, Judge Hough suggested to Har eld J: Johnson, representing the pool of fire sufferers, that their claim be made in a court of equity in which they might argue their rights to the possession of fsrets furnished to the Hfb'eiia-Swiss Company by the ong inal insurers.

Subcribe for the Morning Astotian, PORTLAND TRADE Is Going to San Francisco In Large Amounts THE ARMY SUPPLY GOODS San Francisco Sells $25,000 Worth of Supplies to Portland's $8000 Since Quartermaster-General Aleshire Promised Square Deal! PORTLAND, ' June 19. - Not- wmiMiiHuing me . repeated as .li1. .1... . surances of Quartermaster-General Aleshire that Portland would receive its usual share of the Army supply trade, there are no evidences that his promises will bear fruit. There is, however, accumulating evidence tend-, ing to demonstrate that Portland is rapidly being deprived of the Army trade, which formerly came to this city before Aleshire was elevated to, the head of his present department. The protests of the commercial or ganizations of Portland and the per sistent demands of Senators Fulton and Bourne for recognition have been met with promises, and promises only. The trade is going to San Francisco, not gradually, but in large amounts. Much of the trade which Quartermas ter Aleshire is benefiting San Fran cisco with has, in the past, been ac corded to the business houses of the Rose City. While Portland is not the only city which is being robbed of supplies to bolster the business of the metropolis of California, this city is more vitally affected than any of the other sufferers. So little has been left for the Quar termaster's office in Portland to do in the way of securing purchases of sup plies, since the centralization of busi ness in San Francisco, it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that the local office will be closed. This impression has been strengthened of late, since the Portland branch of the depart ment has had its duty of securing sup plies so seriously curtailed. Information has been received that since the assurances of Quartermaster General Aleshire that Portland would receive a square deal, San Francisco has sold more than $5,000 worth of supplies for the Alaskan military posts within the past three weeks. Portland has sold approximately $8000 worth of Alaskan supplies. The situation will become clearer to the public when it is explained that before Aleshire was promoted to be Quartermaster-Gen eral all of the supplies for the Alaskan were purchased in Portland, with few excepti6ns, these exceptions being goods which were obtained in Seattle. Portland, however, has always been recognized as the place for gathering the Alaskan supplies. SHERMAN IS TAFT'S MATE.

BARNARD DEA Prominent Mason Passed Away After a Lingering Illness HEART DISEASE THE CAUS Mr. Barnard Was Born in Palmyra N. Y., in 1834 Held More Maconic Offices Than Any Other Known Member of the Order, CHICAGO, Juiift 19. -Gilbert Wadsworth Barnard, well known to the Masonic Fraternity' of Chicago and the United States, died at residence lure early today after lingering illness of several months of heart disease which was the cause of death. "Gil" W. Barnard ,as he was known to his friends, held more nc tive Masonic olhcs and has more de gree than any other member of his order so far as is known. His de grccs numbered more than 300, large proportion being conferred by collateral orders. During the last few years of hi life Mr. Barnard devoted himself to directing the work of the Masonic bodies of Illinois. He was the activ working force in ten big state bodies, writing reports and directing all the details of the work. Mr. isarnaru was an oracle on matters of precedent and interpreta tion of Masonic laws. All disputes that could not be settled elsewhere came to him for final judgment. Hi office was a storehouse of Masonic data. His own connections with masonry began in 1864. The side of the work which occupied him chiefly was the spirit by brotherhood carried into practice. His office was visited by thousands of masons in difficul ties and lie has always had help for them. Mr. Barnard was born in Palmyra N. Y in 1834, selection will be deferred until aftc a conference with Secretary Taft at which bis. wishes in respect to the manager of his campaign will be def initey ascertained. T he national committee will get together after the sine die adjourn incut of the convention. After that body finishes its work this afternoon the committee may meet this evening It is proposed that the committee ap ;oint a sub-committee of 5 to take up the matter of the new chairman The plan originally was to have Sec rctary Taft come to Chicago to con fer with the entire committee. Word was received, however, that he wotil not come to Chicago at this time on account of the pressure of other duties. It then was decided to setn the -sub-committee to him. A number of men have been suggested for the place but so far nothing has been heard from Mr. Taft as to his prefer ences.
