ADDRESSES THE RAILROAD MEN Organization Is the Only Salvation, Says Mr. Estes. George Estes. president of the United Brotherhood of Hallway Employes, de livered an address in the A. O. U. W. Hall yeaterday afternoon on the impor tance of -organization. Anionic other thing, he an Id: . "Railway men are doing more work each year than ever before. They are earning more money for their employ-' ra, but are getting leaa for themselves. Naturally, there are exceptions to this rule, but the whole mass of .railroad men are now. receiving. less pay than for merly, and I can prove It to you. The reason of this Is that the majority Is unorganised, and the small percentage that is in the unions Is scattered among 20 different organizations. "There Is a great struggle constantly going on between the big roads. The purchase of the stocks of the different roads Is governed by the amount of divi dends, and the cempany whose expenses are high cannot pay large dividends. The stockholders demand of the board of di rectors that the expenses be cut. The directors pass along the demund until It reaches the general manager. He Issues the order that expenses must be cut and every one connected with the road suffers from the demand for higher dividends. The engineers are gradually made to handle twice as much freight as before, but still get tho-jWrne pay. "You have handled more freight, earn ed more for your employers and received less for yourself, simply because rail road men are not organized." Preferred Stock Canned Oooda Are very tine.

N SELLING Protest and Remonstrances Against Standard Oil Company-New Committee Named. There wire possibly 40 persona who at tended the meeting called u.t the City 1 1 ill L Saturday afternoon to consider the o!l-tan!i problem. Kor live months this quostlon has been a thorn In the aide of the City Fathers, and Mayor Williams appointed Couhcllnien Flegel, Zimmer man and 8ifcler to dispose of It. These sat In special session and gave a hear ing to all Interested parties. Chairman Flegel explained the nature of the sev eral ordinances touching upon the vexed matter. The Kumelln ordinance limits the stor age of petroleum south of Killing worth avenue on the fcast Side and the MufUi , kWH . M t lie - W i4h. Iho Rentley ordinance authorizes the Standard Oil Company to erect a stor age tank on the northwest quarter of Kast Salmon and East Water streets Haw Committee Chosen. For nearly three hours the committee listened to earnest protests and. as the finale, which disposes of the matter for the t Imirdielng. it was turned over to a new confnilttee. These comprise Whit ney L. Boise, Robert I.. Darrow and George C. Flanders. The former repre sents property owners who would be affected by an extension of the tank system: the second, the John Deore Plow Company, and the third la the lo cal agent for the Standard Oil Company. These throe will attempt to harmonize all conflicting Interests Into an ordi nance Which they will submit to the special Council committee. Mr. Flanders presented two petitions, numerously signed by property owners. One was opposed to any legislation that would tend to drive the Standard OH Cornpaiy from the city. The other was from patrons of the company. Heavy Interests Involved. It was shown that the petitioners rep resented river front property valued at J30.000.000.. Mr. Flanders said that In case his company was forced to move, only two locations were open one below St. Johns and the other at Llnnton. Both were too fur away for local delivery. He thought the warehousemen. If any one. should move out of the city. Chairman Flegel recounted the resul of his committee's investigations, and quoted the several rates of insurance he had learned upon the plants of large business interests located In the district contiguous to the Standard Oil plant B. M. Branniok Talks. K. M. Brannick. of the 8tudebuker Company, snfd the Standard Oil Com pany's conflagration lust summer had increased his company's Insurance rates from 25 to 40 per cent. He said, also that the-Insurance companies had can celled $15,000 of ills Insurance, because of t lie risk. Mr. Brannick drew a graph ic Illustration of the danger from oil The statement that fuel oil Is not ex- plosive was not borne out by facts, he said. The blowing up of the steamer Prorresso, In San Francisco harbor, and the recent horror at Tucson were cited Mr. Brannick. with vehement emphasis, declared that when the Standard Oil rep resentatives said that fuel oil will not burn, "they are liars at heart." X. M. KeUy's Vliwi. R. M. Kelley, local Inspector for the Pacific Insurance Cnion, said that in making city Insurance rutes. all danger ous plants, such as oil tanks, sawmills and foundries, were considered. He said that if the streets In the so-called oil district were filled to grade these would be reduced 25 to t per cent. "With malice toward none and charity toward all." Mr. Boise took the floor. He calmly and dispassionately discussed the questions at Issue. He was fair to property owners, of which he is one, and Just to the Standard Oil Company. It was at Mr. Boise's suggestion that the new committee was appointed to draft a new ordinance. Mr. Kenton took the floor, and said that the Standard Oil Company, of which lie Is the attorney, does not want to be driven from Portland. He said that ef fort was made to seek a new location, and. though willing to spend $100,000 in Improvements, encountered prohibitory protests. In the present location, he de clared, the company would spend $20,000 to $40,000 in building retaining walls and ,fllling streets to eliminate all danger. lie gave Insurance companies a sarcas tic dig and Insisted that they are great er monopolies than ths Standard Oil Company. m ma Sensation Follows Sen - sation Today Intimated That Eastern Heirs Will Begin Proceedings Dam age Suit Threatened. A decided sensation was sprung by Attorney Cotton this morn ing In the Foster-Savage case, when he Stated before Judge Krazer In open court that In all probability a. sjult for dumages will be commenced hkbIu1 j. w. Cook wljcn the Foster case In settled. Another sensation fol lowed When Attorni Cotton In timated In no Indefinite manner that Kastern heirs to the $100, 000 estate Of, Foster will contest the will of Mra. Kust.T, deceased. Judge Krazer appointed County -rturlt-rrhnlr'-s; -rr'itw arn spe cial collector of rents In the Fos ter property, and set next Tues day aa the date upon which all of the matter pertaining to the case will be heard. H G. nil W Hayes Sentence Is Commuted The Ex-Attorney Will Take Up the Thread of His Life Anew. The Injunction proceeding In the os- er-Suvage cose came up for hearing In he Circuit Court this morning. At torney Cotton appeared for Mr. and Mrs. Savage, the defendants, and Attorney Kenton for J. W. Cook, as the next friend of Foster, plaintiff. Attorney Cot- on led off with a series of statements, which bordered on the sensational. He lalmed. In the first place, that a next rlend cannot bealn suit to set aside ;le eed, as has been done In this Instance nd that he would soon move for a dis missal on these grounds. Attorney ren- on. for the plaintiff, responded' by say ing that these were matters which would reoulre time to determine, and moved for a postponement of the matter. It will be remembered that the 8av aes nave secured a ueeo io roi uunu property from Foster, valued at $40,000 W. Cook, as Foster s next triena, nas begun this suit to restrain them irom further Interfering or doing business Ith Foster. It is claimed that the deed to the property was obtained by undue means, and Is Illegal. Later, 11. D. Sanborn tiled a sensational affidavit, in which he swore that he had been In formed by two young women working In the Foster home with the Savages, that no Masons were allowed to see Fos ter, who is bed-ridden. Attorney Clash. Attorney Kenton, for t lie plaintiff. Cook, agreed this morning to dissolve tiers affidavit, and let It be withdrawn from the case. Attorney Cotton, for the defense, then grew bitterly sarcastic, and made the statement that Cook was tho Instigator of the whole trouble, and that Sanborn and Cook would have a chance to prove what they had said. "We will probably give them a chance to prove it twice," said Cotton. "I do not think that a man as next friend can butt in. and say whatever he sees fit. with nothing to bock It up. and not be punished." Later. Cotton snid that tie guessed the reason the suit was be gun, and the reason that Sanborn signed the famous affidavit, was that he (San born) had not been getting free meals recently, as he did for 15 months prior to the beginning of this suit. The rents of the property In litiga tion In this case amounts to JJOW per month. Both attorneys claimed the rignt to collect it. and apply It on Foster, who Is sick. II was finally settled by the court appointing County uiera rieius to act as special collector. The Intimation that Kastern relatives will iH'Rln proceeding to get control oi the $100,000 estate, and that damage proceedings will be begun against J. W. Cook, are two of the biggest sensations the Foster-Savage case hus yet pro duced. The Savages are now ana nave been for u long time, living with roster. W Georite W. Haves, the only man ever sentenced to the penitentiary In this state for adultery, is now a free man, after serving nearly a year's time. He received the good news yesterday morn ing and came Immediately to Portland, where he was In consultation with a number of friends. Ills sentence was commuted, to take effect on February 1. and early yesterday morning he was given his liberty. He returned to Salem this morning to try to prevent his license to practice law from being revoked, in a proceeding which Is pend ing In that city. It will be remembered thijt George W. Tfayes, vTio was register of the land office at Burns, Or., was convicted and sentenced last April for living in adult ery, with Mrs. Efliu Hortou, of that place. Action was also Instituted against Mrs. Horton on the same charge and she was later convicted and sentenced to one year's Imprisonment tn the state penitentiary. Mrs. Horton only served a little over two months wien she was pardoned by Governor Geer. the story of which was tokl In The Dully Journal a few weeks ago. Sentiment la Divided. A number of petitions hud boon pre sented, signed by prominent men. ask ing Hayes' release, hut it did not come until yesterday. He had many sub stantiul friends in IVrtland. who had Interested themselves In his behalf. At Burns, his home town, sentiment was divided, probably a majority of the peo ple being against him. Hayes has lived In Oregon many years and Is related to some of the oldest and best respected pioneers of the state. He was a prac ticing attorney at Burns prior to his appointment to the position of register, which position he held up to the time of his arrest on the charge of adultery. When seen by a representative of The Daily Journal yesterday. Mr. Hayes was not prepared to say what his future would be. The release had come unex pectedly to him and he had not made up his mind definitely for the future. His first effort will be to try to save Ills place as a member of the Oregon bar, and should he succeed, will probably continue In the practice of the law, though the location has not been se lected. Prior to his conviction on the charge of adultery, George W. Hayes was one of the most popular men In Eastern Oregon. He was a strong partisan in Republican politics and also a man that coiijd be counted on hy his friends. As 'good fellow," Hayes had few super iors in Harney County, and there re a number of persons who will welcome the news of his release. agaiaiaBBaas" -J-SiVip': 99L. s: ':v', 1 CLEAN-UP SALE v IN THE CLOAK DEPARTMENT AN En6rMOUS ASSORTMEXT OF : t Tailor-Made Suits, Jackets Coats, Skirts, etc. AT HALF PRICE Jill ttock offered regardless of cost to insure quickest kind of selling.

The Cooks and Waiters reported at the Feuerated Trades Council Saturday evening that the two organizations had amalgamated, and that they would im mediately begin an active campaign against the Chinese restaurants. The council promised to assist them in every possible way and some interesting de velopments along this line are antici pated. i- The reduced homeseekera' rates, effec tive February 15, apply via the Denver & Rio Grande.

Mclsaac, Special 'ommlssioner of the Lewis and Clark snir had while on his .recent trip in behalf of the Fair. In speaking with The Journal Mr. Mclsaac also told of the delightful sen-atlon. "When 1 got on the train at Garrison, Mont., on my way to Olympla, Wash., I proceeded to make myself at home In the smoking car"1! got acquainted with sev eral traveling men and pretty soon we were In the buffet and having a Jolly good time. We had probably ridden past a, few stations when the conductor came to me and asked me whether he had seen my ticket yet. 1 said no and handed It to him. He returned it, saying that It was no good. I took It for a joke and went on talking with my fellow trail ers, when, the conductor repeated his previous statement and added that 1 should read the line printed on the top of my pass I did so, and read 'Not Good on North Coast ' Limited." I had been traveling on the North Coast Llm ited all this time without a right to, so I asked the conductor, what I was to do He answered that I should get off at the neHiinoTrnilrially prevailed till lilfti to let mo off at Mlsaquta, where I could at least stop at a hotel. This he kindly agreed to. Before I got to Missoula, the only thing I heard was the singing of the. traveling mens 'Put me oft at MUsoula.' I received a letter from one of them this morning enclosing a card on which was printed 'Put me off at Buffalo.' with BuffaJo scratohed out and Missoula substituted." i RESIGNATION IS ACCEPTED. The resignation of Charles. F. Beebe, brigadier-general of 'tha Oregon Nation al Guard, was accepted last Saturday. This is in accordance; with the Dick bill, which was recently passed by Con gress. This bill phovldea no such office as brigadier-general, so no 'successor to General Beebe Vill be appointed, and the present brigade staff will be dis banded. The general order announcing General Beebe's resignation compliments him" on his ability. ' . Is It burn? T'se Dr. Thomas' Eclectrlc OU. At your druggist. Secretary Lamberson, of the State Board of Horticulture, had his hands full this morning. Last Saturday he re celved 100 copies of the 1903 report of the Board of Horticulture from the State Printer. This made him very happy, as he had received numerous requests for copies of this book. Thereupon he an swered H8 requests by sending that mim her of reports out. While doing tills mall order business it occurred to him that It would not be a bad Idea to look between the covers and admire the nu merous halftones In the book. As Mr. Lamberson is known as a patron of art, especially the printer's art, he wished to keep up his reputation, therefore he fin gered each page separately, so that he should not miss even the fraction of one picture. During this course of operation lie emitted aayell. This caused his whole office force to respond. They asked what was the matter. The only answer they received was a pitiful look of de spair In Mr. Lamberson's eyes, which were fixed on two numbers in the re port SO and J!. On investigation it was discovered that the printer left out 19 pages of the report. After Mr. Lam berson had recovered somewhat from the shock, there was something doing. From last reports from Salem, It Is learned that the printers were busy on an even score of pages minus one, and Mr. Lam berson is satisfied. DESAIX MAKES : QUICK DISPATCH Unloaded Ballast and !

The vessel crossed the river when the flood was at Its height, and It was considered a very hazardous move. The Desalx Is under charter to Kerr, Qifford & Co. and goes to Cape Town, South Africa. ANOTHER ARRIVAL. The British ship County of Linlithgow reached port this morning and dropped anchor In the stream. She arrived at Astoria about two months ago from Shanghai in ballast and was ordered in quarantine. The ballast was removed and disinfected, which proved a very tedious undertaking.

This was graduation day at the Naval Academy, and 4 9 embryo admirals went forth Into the world to serve their country on the seas. The academy grounds were crowded, and all available space in the chapel for visitors was filled, and most of the seats were occupied on the aisles where the honored guests and essential functionaries ,of the grand occasion were to be gathered. At 10:30 o'clock the cadets, headed by the Naval Acad emy Band, marched from their quarters to the chapel, whjpre the board of visit ors had preceded them. Many notable guests from Washington and elsewhere were present. After the customary ad dresses had been delivered there was a rush for the bandstand, where the di plomas were to be delivered by Secre tary of the Navy Moody. The cadets received their diplomas amid the ap plause of their friends. Tho graduates went In to don their new uniforms, and as each came out, the class gave three cheers.

David B. Ogden, United States Engi neers, will leave tomorrow morning for Independence andaAlbany, where he will ascertain what damage the recent high water has done in the river. A dispatch from Washington states that Major Marshall ot New York City. chairman of the board of engineers who recently sat In Portland, considering the Columbia River Jetty, .sent in his report to the War Department at Washington, regarding this matter,, this morning. The dredge Columbia, which recently stopped work on account or high water. was put to work once more last night. Sheriff E. P. Laura nee of Grant Coun ty la once more on the lookout for Km mett Klmberllng, the alleged horse thief, concerning whom several stories were recently published in The Journal. KlmW?rllng was taken back to serve out a term In the Grant County Jail, whence he had escaped previously. Sheriff Laurance, according to the local olficerB. practically kidnaped Klmberllng from the Multnomah County Jail to get out of paying a personal reward of $100, which lie had offered during a hot po litical campaign. The reward was never paid. When Sheriff Laurance took his pris oner home, and locked him In a cell, he supposed he had him fast. Kimberling, however, completely outwitted his worthy official friend, and by stealth tunneled his way to liberty with a common knlfa and fork. He 'ook but a few days and nights to perform the trick, and when Laurance was at home dreaming, Klm berllng made hla escape, and also let out a companion In misery. Consternation prevailed when tho bold deed was re vealed, and Sheriff Laurance at once of fered a reward of $200 for the arrest of the two escupes. The reward was made In the name of Sheriff Laurance, and not by the county. Storey's Hard Knock. Sheriff Storey learned of the abov) facts last night, and to a Journal re porter this morning made the following statement: "If any one connected with this office; should see Klmberllng on the streets we would not place him under arrest, unless we knew that Sheriff Laurence had placed money to cover the reward in some local bank, subject to our check." This statement shows how the local oflleers feel toward Sheriff Laurance, be cause of the manner in which he acted when ho came here to claim Klmber llng. Sheriff Storey believes that when a sheriff offers a personal reward, he ought to make good when tha prisoner for whom it was offered is captured. This Sheriff Laurance did not do, hence the feeling against him here. Sheriff Storey, It will be remembered, stated In these columns some time ago that if the reward formerly offered for Klm berllng's arrest was paid to him. he would have turned it over to Mrs. Kim- ' berllng, who w.is In destitute circum stances. It will also be recalled that Klmberllng was arrested here by Sheriff Storey and Deputy Sheriff Matthew, ' No. reward was ever paid. WILL HOLD MEETING.
