CVX.TT IN SEomusa VESSELS.
The Oregon Railroad Navigation
: company does not fear the effect of an
Oriental war on its carrying trade, nor
docs It anticipate any trouble In secur
ing vessels when the leases on the
British, steamers Indrasamha, Indra
pura and Indravelll expire.
President A. I Mohler of the O..R.
& N. stated this morning that the com
pany was not troubled ovef'tha war out-
,look. He sald:'
"As yet no one can tell what will' be
the result of the far Eastern situation,
"but we do not anticipate any trouble in
our carrying business. We will have
no trouble in securing vessels for the
Oriental trade." ' " '"
When asked if the "three steamers at
present leased by the company were not
subject to the rules of the British mer
chant marine, and liable to, be. pressed
Into transport service In case of a gen
eral war or any considerable Eastern
trouble, Mr. Mohler said:
' "Should such be the , case there are
plenty of., vessels. Whether this would
enter into our renewal of a contract
with the -company In England or "not I
do not know, but vessels are plentiful
any way." ,.
Concerning the question of war insur
ance on Eastern traders, Mr. Mohler
said: "We only handle -the cargo and
are not interested in the protection of
the vessels from that standpoint. The
owners insure the vessels and we havo
nothing to do with It"
.. President Mohler has authorized the
announcement that the Oriental service
from Portland would be increased by
. the addition of four new vessels. This
will give to Portland seven liners with
a combined capacity or su.uov tons. una
new arrangement will become effective
next month. - , .
. ' Tour Yew Teasels. 1
The new schedule ' goes Into effect
through an arrangement . between . the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company
and tho China Commercial Steam Navi
gation company and will result In the
differential rata in favor of San Fran
cisco nemg amuisnea ami in roraanu
gaining adequate representation in the
far East. This combination, is ex
pected to stop the rate war now raging
on Chinese shipments from the Paclfio
coast and the China Commercial fleet
will be used from Portland instead of
from San Francisco, thus cutting out
one of the chief causes of trouble at the
Southern port, that is, too many com-
petltors.
' The new ... vessels are: Clavering.
Jvothian. Chlng ,Wo and Athol. The
- dates of sailing from this port will be:
.. Cleave ring. February- June .. J. Sep
tember 17, December 26; Lothian,
March 26, July 4. 'October 12, January

November s. February 14, 1905; Athol,
May 15, August 23, December J, March
11. 1905.
The Increase in service will give
Portland a steamer to Asiatic ports
about every . 16 days.' The three ships
now In the employ -of the company will
. sail on the 28th of each month as pre
viously. ,
'. The new vessels are none "of them as
large as the three now in service, ex
cept the Lothian, which has the same
carryingcapaclty, .8,000 tons, as the In
drapura and the Indravelll, The Loth
Ian Is of the latest British type, having
been built at Glasgow in 1902; and the
Athol was built at Glasgow in 1901, and
has a carrying capacity of 7,100 tons.

PARTS OF ENGINE
' . BADLY DEMOLISHED
The steamer No Wonder of the Shaver
Transportation company's fleet reached
port last night In a badly disabled con
dition. Her crank pin crosshead. both
cylinder heads, cylinder and piston on
the port side were broken lla many
pieces while the vessel was towing a
log raft up the river. The accident oc
curred near the breakwaters of Deer
Island. It happened quickly and the
officers say without any apparent cause.
The steamer came up to Portland with
but one engine.
' . It is said that it will require about 10
days to make the necessary repairs.
When put in shape again she will again
be placed in regular commission.

ATTACKS VALIDITY
OF BARBER LAW
aitobney ; fob c. bbioos
. CHABGEO WITH CONDUCTING TJW
LICENSED TONSOBIAX. SCHOOL
1 CONTENDS THAT STATE XiAW XS
- UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The constitutionality of '.: the law
granting to the state board of barber
examiners the right either to proliiblt
or sanction schools for barbers was at
tacked this morning when the case of
L. C. Brlggs was -called for .trial by
Circuit Judge George. Brlggs conducts
a barbers' school at 253 Everett street
Some time ago he was arrested and
fined in the municipal court on a charge
of conducting an unlicensed school.
The charge was preferred by tho board
of examiners. Brlgga appealed.
His attorney, F. 8. Grant, contended
that the arrest was Illegal In : that he
was simply an agent of the American
barber college of California, and If an
offense had been committed the college
and not he was the guilty party. He
also held that the law is unconstitu
tional in that It is . an amendment of
the statute OMS99 and its title does not
show that the examiners have any right
to prohibit barber schools, although they
are given that-rignt in the, body of tho
act- : ,. . '" ;
Deputy District Attorney Spencer
said that Brlggs represented a "dummy"
corporation, and that he was the sole
manager of the school and all tuition
fees had been paid to him. Although
he was not a registered barber he agreed
to fit men for the trade within six or
eight weeks at a coat of $35 or $40, and
this Spencer proceeded to prove, by wit
nesses.
J. II. Burton, a barber of 15" years'
experience, testined that he had been
engaged by ...Brlggs .. as a teacher. He
had been Instructed by Brlggs to
"rush" the pupils from the last to the
first chairs as sopn as possible, so that
there would be no delay in the grad
uating exercises. Sometimes a barber
was graduated as fully equipped for
the business within a week. Others
took more time and many stayed at the
school from 6 and S to 12 week. Bur
ton showed the pupils how to "work
down" their strops, hone rasors, shave,
cut hair and put on towels. All the
fees were paid to Brlggs who trans
acted all the business and who paid
Burton's salary. .
Ariste Moser ' and William Warren
both testified that they had been stu
dents at the school and that Brlggs had
given them receipts for their tuition
fees in his own name.,
Brlggs in his own defense said that
while he was not registered as a bar
ber all the instructors In his school
were licensed barbers. The matter was
taken undcr . advisement by Judge
George.
WANDERING DOGS
FIND HOME AGAIN
The Irish terrier puppies belonging to
Dr. A. C. Panton were recovered yester
day. They were not stolen, as at first
thought, but had wandered away to ex
plore new fields. A neighbor of Dr.
Panton's bombarded the puppies with
champagne bottles the other night when
their play disturbed his rest and one of
the puppies' has a broken leg, while the
other received a severe gash in the
side, the two uninjured ones running
away. Yesterday morning a neighbor
telephoned the doctor that one of his
puppies was under her house, and the
pup was extricated by the anxious
owner. The terriers are valuable dogs,
and the only ones In Portland. The two
older dogs came from Ireland, while
the four puppies were Imported from
Canada. "
BUILING TRADES
COUNCIL REVIVED
A start was made last night toward
the reorganisation of the Building
Trades council, and B. R, Welch, one of
the principal movers in the project,
states that it proved very successful.
He says that the carpenters, painters,
sheetmetal workers, plumbers, laborers.
lathers, shlnglers tand electricians had
representatives in attendance, and a
temporary organisation was effected. No
one was present from either the brick
layers or plasterers. Another meeting
has been arranged to be held next Tues
day night In the Engineer's hall on First
street, when it is expected that a perma
nent organization, will be formed.

heretofore. Cribs, which were numerous
In that part of the city, . have been
closed up and the inmates compelled to
retire to places where they ar not ex.
posed to public view.
"Few. if any, dissolute women now
walk the streets sollclting.persons to go
to their places of abode, and although
it is not possible to prevent lawless,
persons from doing those things which
the police have been trying to suppress,
yet I think that it is generally true
that tho reforms above indicated have
been made, and that the police depart
ment has been active and, efficient in
making them. ..
The Bock Ma.
"Connected with the police department
Is a rock pile, where those convicted of
minor offenses In the municipal court
are compelled to work, and this rock
pile has tv salutary effect in Keeping
hobos and tramps and people of that
description away-from the city, as they
are generally afraid to go where they
would be compelled to work ror a live
lihood. This rock plla Will be main
tained. There are comparatively few
beggars in Portland, which is due, I
think, to the activity or tne ponce in
keeping them off the streets.
"Notwithstanding tne cruiciBms passea
upon the police department H is my
opinion that this department Is now bet
ter organised, better disciplined and bet
ter equipped than heretofore, and tnat
it is free from what is so common to
large cities, the corrupt practice of
graft na.- The present police force is
evidently Inadequate to the wants of
the city, and it will be absolutely neces
sary to Increase this force before the
Lewis and Clark exposition in 1905.

"Since January 1, 1903, 80 firstclass
hydrants havo been installed, costing
$2,168; 5,750 feet of hose have neen
purchased for $5,490. A combination
chemical engine and hose wagln has
been purchased for Sunnyslda, costing
$2,150. Six horses, to take tne places
of those worn out have been bought,
costing $1,300. Three fire-alarm boxes.
costing $375, and 10 keyless doors, cost
ing $117. have been Installed. At the
beginning of the year the engine houses
were in a dilapidated and ruinous con
dition, unsafe for men and horses, and
$12,000 has been appropriated for their
repair, part of the work has been done
In a satisfactory manner and la progress
ing, and very soon all the engine houses
of the city will be made safe and com
fortable for' their occupants. Arrange
ments are under consideration for an
engine and engine house in the North
End, near the railroad depot. I under
stand a site for the house can be ob
tained there without expense to the
city. Arrangements are also under con
sideration for engine and engine houses
In the Brooklyn district and other parts
of the city.

"I earnestly recommend the change
from a call to A permanent fir depart
ment. Notwithstanding the department
has been handicapped with the call system,-
under tha management of th able
and efficient chief and his assistants. It
has acquitted Itself with great credit,
but It Is evident that organisation, dis
cipline and celerity of movements can
only be made thoroughly effective by a
full-paid department. The salaries of
the department as now organized upon
the call plan amount to $71,765. It is
estimated that in 1904, with the Increase
of engine companies, salaries' will
amount to $87,340.
"Oat Beady for the Pair."
"Every possible effort should be made
to prepare this city for the Lewis and
Clark exposition next year. To this end
citlsens Individually can render valuable
aid to city authorities. Weatherbeaten
and dingy houses should be painted, di
lapidated buildings removed, old fences
repaired or renewed, lawns and grounds
cleaned up. and assistance given to the
street cleaning department
"Portland, with its natural advantages
and a proper civic pride by Its citlsens.
may be made one of the most attractive
and beautiful cities in the country.".
The annual report of the operation of
the garbage crematory for the year
1903 shows the following totals:
Cubic yards of garbage cremated, 28,
138; horses, 251; cows,. 38; dogs, 742;
others animals, 62; number of hours In
which the crematory was In operation,
8.744; cords of slabwood used, 480; loads
of sawdust consumed, 480; cords of slab
wood on hand, 1,094. .
The cost of operating the crematory
during the year 1903 was $7,678.80 and
was expended as follows: Labor, $3,
326.60; fuel, $3,206.75; repairs, $748.20;
miscellaneous expenses, $394.95. The
volume of garbage during the year was
greatly In excess of the total of any
previous year. Extensive repairs were
made to the furnaces and the plant has
been operated In a very satisfactory
manner. io complaints have been re
ceived. The crematory.! under control
of the board of health and has received
the particular supervision of Dr. W. H.
Baylor. There are now employed at the
crematory five men. a superintendent at
$76 per month, three laborers at $60 per
month and one laborer at $50 per month.
It Is very probable that the capacity of
the crematory will have to be doubled
during the next year and this can be
done by adding two more furnaces,
wnicn u is estimated will cost $6,000.
