TOBBTTSK Or BETAUmTO : v MONEY BELOHOXHO- TO HIM CLAWS HB WILL BB ABLE TO CLEAB HXKSXLT. ' ----- John Dltchburn, -an attorney,- yester ; . day received summons to . appear before the grievance committee of the State Bar association to answer hftrges pre ferred against him by John M. R For ' ; bush, who accuses Mr. Dltchburn of ' wrongfully retaining money belonging to him. He wag a client of Ditchhurn's. The formalities of the committee in the trial of a case are the aame-asthose of a fouft, and time is given to the ac - cueoV4o-nawer-he-charges-ln- .writing. , In th case of Mr. Dltchburn ' the" time will be short at hta own request.-, Mr. . Dltchburn said today; 'tThe charges i are pure, spitework on the part of Nixon, the attorney -fo Forbush. It Is true that I was suspended by the' supreme f court of Oregon from practicing at the . bar., owing . to negligence, but tho sen- jtence was immediately revoked. This j case was brought up April 11, 1898, and ,,' the report can bo.found on page 538 in ?; 82d Oregon reports. A synopsis of 'the , report Is this: Alexander Keegan, no tary public, was In my office with me. " Keegan had taken an acknowledgment as notary public to an undertaking for costs for the benefit of a client, and lie did it wrong. I was held by the Su preme court a responsible fop Keegan's mistake on account of his being In my office, I had . then heen practicing law onlv A short time, and tills was mv first I law office. I see now that I did not ex ; crcise the diligence that I do at the rreesnt time,' No one was Injured by t lie negligence, and no" possible benefit could ' haye come to me through the error. I believe that all the courts and ; 'judges before whom I have practiced law 'would bear witness 'to my absolute fair- ness and character as an attorney. "I can aafely say that If the griev- a nee committee makes public Us findings In this matter, which I shall request it to do, It will be seen that I have treated : s'thls poor Austrian with the greatest consideration and at personal sacrifice. and that Nixon has at no time given Mm anything but promises, and those prom ises are misleading. Forbush is better known under the name of John M. K. Fabre, Jr. . . Mr. Dltchburn says that be has letters from Forbush asking for money on the certificate of deposit over which ' the , trouble started, and receipts from For bush acknowledged giving the receipt of . me money. . INCREASBrimTES- (Continued from Page One.) to the general complaint The chief re mark made .by them was;, "It is not , much-on a pound of Iron or a ton of freight, but It Is a boost of at least a ' tenth -of a cent a pound on every pound tlint comes to the coast during the next ' year.

BOARD Of TRADE TAKQLS OH '' PROPOSED INCREASE Or POWERS . Or INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM MISSION TO BB STRAIOHTEHED. The trustees ot the Portland chamber of commerce this morning decided to postpone.i the - annual, moating of the chamber from '. January 1$ to January 20, because of the meeting of the Na tional Livestock association in the city January 13. . The chamber was informed that the Oregon delegation at Washington, had received contradictory recommendations from the -chamber and the board of trade concerning the proposed increase in the powers of the interstate commis sion. . The chamber of commerce had forwarded a resolution against any .in crease in the commission's powers until the commission had a coast representa tlve on it; the board of trade had rec ommended that the commission be given, added powers without considering the question of the coast representative. The matter was . referred to the trans portation committee, which will confer with the board of trade. The National Bankers' league of Chi cago asked the chamber to support a bill looking to the reorganization of -the consular system with the view to base the .consular service on merit The chamber agreed to sen4 a letter to the Oregon members of congress, favoring the proposed change. Consideration of the 10 per cent raise of railroad rates on west-bound freight was referred to the transportation com mittee. The work of the open river eommlt teelind the, work of Assistant Secretary Mosessohn at Balem towards securing the $100,000 appropriation for river work was commended. Acting Secretary of State F. B. Loomis Informed the chamber by letter that the matter of keeping an open port In Manchuria, which the chamber re cently asked the secretary of state to forward, had received the constant at tention of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt and would continue to be one of the important questions before the ad ministration. Informally the chamber considered the request of the National Association of Manufacturers to oppose any national legislation looking to the installation of the metric system, and it was decided to consider this question1 fully at the annual meeting. The general opinion of those present was against the introduc tion of any change in the present sys tem. The following new " membi received: Butterfleld Bros,, B. T. Bcott. F. K.

"If was as' much a surprise to me as anyone else to learn that owners of slot machines had merely forfeited bail In the municipal court yesterday, for I was under the impression that the owners intended to put up a strong fight" said. Mayor Williams . this morn ing. "I may add that It is a disappoint ment for the results of a court pro ceeding would hav aided very ma terially In learning the exact status of the case. I will have a talk with the chief of police this afternoon and find out what it all means. "There is to be no understanding on this question of slot machines. They ere pernicious devices and should be outlawed. If I can prevent it they will not be allowed to remain in operation here. Of course I am not In possession of all the facts yet and cannot make any very full or comprehensive statement, but it is not my policy, nor never will be, to allow the operation of slot ma chines. I consider them the worst form of gambling." "Did Chief Hunt anticipate that the proprietors of slot machines would for feit their fines?" was asked. "No, sir," replied the mayor. "I think the chief expected the owners to make a fight, as they gave warning they would when announcement of the proposed ar rests was made. I will learn the f ullile tatls from him this afternoon." Mayor Williams has repeatedly said that be intended to drive out slot ma chines and recently gave orders that no money-paying machines should be al lowed to continue in operation. This affected the saloons and many small stands and stores, but po arrests were immediately made. Chief Hunt after wards reported that the money ma chines had quit operation, but that was not tha case, for while some substituted slugs exchangeable for either money or drink. mary continued to use coin. Then came the arrests and the owners gave every Indication that they were to gether In a legal fight that would settle the status of the machines once for all. When the cases were called in -the mu nicipal court yesterday, as reported in The Journal, the defendants failed to ap pear. .Their ball, the nominal sum of $10 each, was forfeited.

A large hole waa torn jn bottom oHha hull -and he lower part of tha steamer aoon Ailed with water and aank. At that point th rfver-Ja-1esirthan five feet in depth, but tha lower deck waa flooded. ' Some of the cargo was badly dam aged, among It being 85 Backs of flour. ine passengers sougn saiety on tne Upper deck, where they remained for about two hours, when "the steamer Leona of the same line came 'along and took them aboard. They reached here thhi morning at about S o'clock. A couple of barges and a wrecking outfit have left for the scene of the accident. ' The disabled steamer will be raised and towed down to Portland. where she will be hauled out on the ways for repairs. . The Pomona was only drawing 28 inches of water. It is supposed that the log which caused all the trouble had been lying In that locality but a very short time. It had evidently drifted there from some nearby point but a day or two before the wreck. Boats had been following the same channel every day and had it been there long they would undoubtedly have run Into it. , Steamera Collide. At about the same time the steamers Elmore and Kellogg got into a mix.up in Portland's harbor. The Kellogg waa lying at the Alnsworth dock when the Elmore started to go through the draw of the Steel bridge. All at once the Kellogg began to swing out into the stream preparatory to turning around. The Elmore waa under full steam, and few minutes later crashed into thai Kellogg. Both steamer were slightly damaged, but will soon be able to go out on their regular runs. Portions of the Klmore'B house and stairway were carried away, and the Kellogg wheel house waa put In need of repairs. similar accident to the. same vessels at the same place occurred about two weeks ago.
