THE OKEGOK: DATLT; JOTTRKAIi, POKTIiA!NIV TUESDAY EYETXO, - DECEMBER- 9, -1902. AIIIIITITICf infill How Oiinamen Beat, the: Assisted By a Lbngsliorcmafl They Were Secoring Floor Cheap at 5 r the Expense of Shippers. The Oriental liner Indravelll went out f hera 14 ucki of flour short of the number which appeared on her manifest. and how the shortage occurred ha Just been mado public It sees that tko Chinese crew on tto eseeV and one or two longshoremen, who assisted In load ing her, had a secret understanding by Which a little business transaotioa was conducted on their own account. While there wu .no opportunity for thoee in terested in the transaction to make a for tune, still they made rood profits when the time that was consumed to do the Work is. taken into consideration. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY. Stealing flour was the method which the Chinese and the one or two Jong- ihoKmcfl adopted ia order to make some Side money, and until late ttweir plan has been working to perfection. On every Oriental liner that has gone, out of here for the' past few-months several sacks of flour were missing when the vessel's ttesHnatton was reached. When the cargo of the InOrapvr was discharged at Hong Kong, en Hi last trip of the steamer to that port, 19 sacks could not be accounted foe. and this was becoming so frequent that the Portland shippers determined to solve tbe mystery if possible. WATCHED PROCEEDINGS. 'When the cargo of the Indravelll was being loaded here a few days ago secret ' wrvfce mew- kepfr- a - rttflkan -watrt - -t every move that' was mads about the Vessel Finally their vigilance was re warded. When all backs were supposed to be turned a longshoreman, whose name is withheld, passed a sack of flour over the hatch to a Chinaman, who was wait ing to receive it, and the latter hastily disappeared with bis burden. Nothing was said at the time, but further devel opments were watched. Shortly the same scene was enacted, and It was repeated until 14 sacks had been stolen in a similar manner. Then a raid was made into, the storehouse of the Chinese crew, but be fore ' the sacks could be recovered the Celestials threw the flour Into the river, and it was borne away on tbe current. WANTED CHEAP FLOUR, o The Chinamen, who make up the crew, board themselves, and their object in se curing the flour is very apparent They probably gave the longshoremen 2S cents- a sack for the jtuQ, they; ..played. JUj . thjs -gtfmer aridIf "he" whs able to deliver them 20 sacks he woulCTrftilize Su" for the trou ble. And this Is the Dialing In which v.ninamen ana longsnoremen were ae fraudlng Portland exporters. No arrests have been made, and It Is said that none wll). However, 'the unknown longshore man is looking for another job. THE HOMER ARRIVES, The sEeamer Homer will arrive up the nver today from Astoria. For the past year she has been under charter to the government, and recently returned from a trip to Alaska. She is owned by the Gray Steamship Company of this city, and for a few weeks will take the place of the Alliance, which runs between Port- lend and Ban Francisco. During this time the Alliance will be converted Into an oil-burner. It is the intention of the company to have oil- burning plants installed on all Its steam ers just as quickly as the change can be made. PURCHASED A LAUWCE TTayes IiroB., who are engaged In the fish business at the foot of Washington street, purchased the gasoline launch Rover yesterday from C.

Francftse Tof Gty & Suburban Council Listens to Arguments and Refers Proposed Ordinance 5 . to Street Committee. . k Members of the Board of Public Works did not meet with the City Council hurt night,- although the special session was named with the understanding that it would be a joint session of the Council and the Board of Public Works. There was weighty business before the Council In the shape of a blanket fran chise ordinance for the Cliy & Suburban Railroad Company. Councilman Foellcr introduced the measure, and on a motion of Mr. Bentley the ordinance was re ferred to the street committee. A second ordinance was Introduced, granting Uia Portland Railroad Company the right to build a line on Sixth street, from irvtf street to a point 60 feet north of John son street- This' will bring the Portland Company to the Grand 'Central Depot. In the blanket franchise of the City Ik Suburban Company a similar right is asked, which shows that this company is equally desirous of . building its line Co ttue depot. REPRESENTATIVE' MEN. There were many representative citi zens present at the meeting, and 'those who spoke were J A. Martin, J. N. Teal. W. L. Boise, L. Goldsmith, C. F. Swigert, Sanderson Reed, K. R. Dunlway and President Paxton and General Manager Fuller of the Portland Railroad Company. Councilman Bentley, who hus made study of the proposed franchise, ottered the following report and comment. - after which trie Cou nclj, ftdiojirned:. , First The city should reserve the right, bv a provision similar to section 8 of the Portland RulhVy blanket ofdl nance, to allow other companies to use the tracks on Morrison street from Park street to tbe river, and on East Morrison street from East Tenth to the rive. as to allow other companies to cross the Morrison-street bridce. Second A provision should be inserted that the right granted on First street from Sheridan to Porter is Joint with the Portland Railway right, and that but one set of tracks shall be usud. Ilk the Joint right on Twenty-fourth street from Thurman street to the St. Helens road In the Portland Railway ordinance. Third A provision should be Inserted provldina that the rlsht asked for that portion of Porter street from First street to Front street should be joint with the Poslland Railway, and that but one set 01 tracks should be. used, like the iolnt risrht In the Portland Kaiiway orm nance on Twenty-fourth street from Thurman street to the St. Helens road. Fourth A provision should be inserte. DTOvIaThg that the fight On First stree from. .Couch to Jefferson, after the ex niratlon of the rlehts under the Glass Bmtth-Dekum franchise (ordinance No. 9;36J),J should" br joint whir the Portland Railway right, and that but one set of tracks should be used. SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED. Fifth- The following streets described in the ordinance upon which old tracks are laid have no service operated upon them, and a franchise should not be granted for them. They amount to about three miles of street: Glisan, from Fourteenth to Nineteenth. Third, rrom Grant to Bnerldan. Sheridan, from Third to Second. Second, from Sheridan to Porter, Porter, from Second to First. First, from Porter to Whitakeiv' Second, from Glisan to Grant. - First, from Grant to Sheridan. Seventh, from Glisan to Johnson.

Seventh Section 12 of the DroDosed ordinance (page 16) proposes to give the City & Suburban three years in whloh to construct their nine miles of requested unoccupied street. The Portland Rail way ordinance only gives that company two years in which to build its 10 miles of additional street. SHOULD BB AMENDED: Eighth The provision on page 7 relat Insr to the removing of "liaht-welaht T rails" should be amended so aa to provide for the removal of light-weight T, girder and other rails. The City & Suburban light-weight rails which it Is sought to have them removed where concrete foun dation is under the pavement are mostly girder rails. It ought to be provided that where a concrete foundation is laid under the, pavement- any .raU under.. 60, A.

It would result in the build ing of tracks jtnd running of cars down Inuv tha aDace la front of that raimina in the Union Station, which ought to be kept clear. . ' Tenth The franchise asked for on Sixth street, from Jefferson to Washing ton, is entirely disconnected from the rest of the City A Suburban system asked for under the ordinance, and could not be used -by anyot their ears. Eleventh A-provision should be In serted similar to section 18 of the Port land Railway ordinance, requiring the City as Suburban to donate to the city for street purposes all its private rights oi way- Included within streets or high ways, and to keep its portion of the street In repair upon- such streets, as the Portland Railway is required to do on Union avenue. , Twelfth-i-8ectlon 7 of the proposed ordinance (page 13) should be amended so as to .prevent the City & Suburban being relieved from keeping the streets in repair where It has private rights of way in the city. This was done in the Port land Railway ordinance. Tbirteenth--8ection 10 of the proposed or . -nee should be amended so as to fix the compensation In five-year periods. The total respective mileage of the City ft Suburban and the Portland Railway, if both companies build all unoccupied streets, will be: City & Suburban, about 86 miles, and Portland Railway, about 4( miles. ' ' THE COMPENSATION. - The comparative compensation provid ed for the Portland Hallway and proposed for'-the City & Suburban will be as fol lows: ' ' City ft Suburban (hv 85 miles) First 6 years, at 3o 16,000 ft-cond 6 years, at 3.uuo 16,000 hird 6 years, at H.oOo 20.000 Fourth 6 pears, at t4.uuo 20,000.

The word lis" should be Inserted after the word, "doing." 'i nls was done in the Portland Hallway ordinance. , Flfteenth-'-Sectioii It; of th proposed ordinance, pui poriing to bu a repeal of the xlsttng franchi-. d, litis no repealing words, and does not repfal anything There should be hir.-:-t't h re a provision like that in section in of the Portland Hallway -ordinance, lepeallnK not only the ordinances 4 specitied by number and dtjt .CLJipW'.GVaii IWUaU, thwt.oi-dUiaisxw of thetfty of Port la ml and of the City of East Portland and of the City of Al bina. heretofore pisi. granting rights, privileges or franchises to the City A SuburbiiYi Or Its predecessors In Interest, or any of them ( naiiiinj; all of the prede cessors in interest). From a hasty in spection of the ordinances specified in this secton, it Would se.m that all of the City & Suburban onlinmuvs are not pro posed to be repealed. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. Sixteenth One of the most Important questions raised by the proposed soiill nance is the length of time for which tho right Is ask'-d. The Third-street, Morrison, Ollsan. Savier. etc., franchise of the City & -Suburban is Its principal franchise. It is the muin artery by which It conducts its business. Its East Side franchises would he practically valueless without this Third-street franchise. This franchise in the City of Portland In ex accordlng to the most favorable interpre tation.

The light on between the various candi dates for the proposed office of labor com missioner is Decerning interesting. It bids fair to develop into a political scrap, pure and simple, regardless of the efforts put forth by Jjhe various unions to prevent It. Since the creation of the office was first talked of they have expressed the desire to keep the matter free from all political taint, but It begins to look as though their energies in this direction will amount to naught. HE IS A DEMOCRAT. "G. Y. Harry will neevr be labor com missioner of the State of Oregon If he Is indorsed by every labor union between here and Bait J-ake." This remark was made to a Journal reporter by F. Connor, a member of the Longshoremen's Union No. 205. Asked for an explanation of his remarkable statement, he replied: "Harry Is a Democrat and his preten sion lit being in the held for the honor Is nothing more than child's play. Does any sane person for a moment think that an overwhelmingly Republican Legislature Is going to appoint a man who Is an tagonistic to -the principles It advocates to fill an important state office? It Is contrary to all precedent and common sense. If such an office Is created a Re publican wlll.be the Hist to occupy the position." FREE FROM PARTISANSHIP. "Burorgaftfted' laBor' Is trying to keep the matter out of politics," answered the reporter. "Yes, but It cannot be done, and no one knows It better than the officers of the unions." There is some method In the position taken by Mr. Connor. The man he is booming for the position is a Republican, and If he is not Indorsed by organised labor he hopes to get him In on the strength of being an adherent to the principles of the party that la in power. His favorite candidate is A. A. Bailey, and Mr. Bailey entertains the same views on the subject as Mr. Connor. He made the same Identical statements concerning the candidate for labor commissioner as the man who is working for him, although he vigorously denies hat he Is taking any more than an ordinary Interest in the campaign. Ho also disclaims any knowl edge of the fact that anyone is Industrie ously working in bis behalf, and says that authorized by him. ' WORKING FOR BAILEY. Vifhsta3raihg all this Mr.' Connor Is devoting all of his spare time to the sd vanclng of Mr. Bailey's candidacy. Up to date there have been but two unions that have evinced any disposition to sup port jar. .Bauey for the position. These are the Steamboat Employes- and the Musicians Association. Connor says that the Bricklayers will meet tomorrow night and will also indorse him. He says the longshoremen would have Indorsed him liad he waited until the adjournment of tho meeting. Believing that his plans were perfectly laid and that they would be carried out to the letter he went home. There Is where he made a fatal mistake. During his absence O. Y. Harry was in dorsed for labor commissioner unanimoua ly. Bailey's name was not mentioned." RECOGNIZES HIS STRENGTH. Apparently Mr. Bailey looks upon G. Y. Harry as being a rival of considerable consequence, notwithstanding the fact that he says he stands no possible show to secure the office on account o.f being a Democrat He has kept thoroughly in touch with the situation, and looks upon the large number of unions which have indorsed him with apprehension. "Do you think Harry is making a per sonal campaign in his own interest?" he was asked. "I can answer that questlop better," he replied, "by showing you a copy of the Labor Press, see, here is an account of a union meeting. Harry was there and made a speech, and afterwards he was IndoYsed few the 'office 'to WMcTfTi: 'as-' "pireS." " He ' attends "almost every meeting and his reasons for doing so are so ap parent to the publlo that no explanation Is necessary." OPPOSE BAILEY. On the other hand many union men say that an overwhelming majority of the union men are opposed to Bailey, for the reason that they believe ha feu not acted in good faith with organize labor by per mitting his name to be used In connection with the matter. He Is a member of the Legislature, and they hold that he has no ' right to leejtslat hlrasef into office. This is practically what he will be doing, as he will vote upon the new bill providing for the creation of the office of labor com missioner. They hold that he will be in eligible to fill the position if it Is ten dered him. - TO TROBTDALE. G. T. Harry,, president of the State Federation of Labor, end Q.'B.
