BEFORE GRAND JURY
Remarkable Story Told by Cam
bier's Attorney in Explanation
of Charges Against Him
The charge of perjury, which Judge
Eraser mad against Eugene Blaster
waa taken up by tha '.grand Jury this
morning. This is the last of the gam
bling cases; and as soon aa all tha wit
nesses subpoenaed have been heard a re
port will be made to the court. It Is
very probable that thla report will be
made lata thla afternoon or early to
morrow morning.
Attorney S. C. Spencer was before the
grand Jury thla morning on behalf of
hla client, Mr. Blaster, and attempted
to show to the grand Jury that It waa
through an order of, Mayor Williams
that Blaster pleaded guilty to tha charge
of conducting a gambling house on
March 1, 1 904. although h waa not at
the time owner of the business or con
nected with It In any way.
He said that some time prior to the
date when Blaster testified to having
sold this property Mayor Williams Is
sued an order that no outalde gamblers
should be allowed to conduct gamaa In
Portland. Consequently, urged Mr.
Bpencer, If Blaster lot It become known
officially that he had sold his gambling
bualnesa to Ed. Helller the house would
be closed at one under the orders of
the mayor, and to avoid thla Blaster ap
peared In the courts and pleaded gullty
for the purpose of paying the fines only.
Several witnesses. Including polios of
ficers and city authorities, were sum
moned before the grand Jury this morn
ing, but Blaster himself did not put In
an appearance, and it la understood that
ha will act : . -
The membera of tha Jury expect the
mayor or some of the other city officials
to bring the Tanner creak aewer scandal
up before them tomorrow or next day,
although no official notice to thla effect
haa been received.

Rtlaid.

THff
UNDER EYE
OF
CITY ENGINEER
Property Owners Refuse to Pay
for tha Work and Their
Protest Haaded.
For the fourth time the wooden block
pavement on Salmon street, between
Fourth and Fifth, la blng torn up and
relald. City Engineer Elliott Is person
ally superintending the work, and aaya
when the street Is repaired there will
be no bulging of the blocks.
He aaya that he will lay them very
cloae together In the manner In
which he ordered Milter. Bauer, the
contractors, to lay them In th first
place. He aaya If tha contractors had
followed the specifications there would
have been no troUbl with th street.
The work Is being don entirely by the
men of th city engineer's department.
This wood block pavement has beer,
the source of much trouble to th con
tractors and th city engineer s office
since It was laid Jhre month ago. Boon
after the work waa completed th blocks
bulged very badly. Contractor Miller
stated that It waa dw to the taat that
City Engineer Elliott had ordered hljn
to lay the block too cloely together.
The contraotora took up the pavement
and relald It. but It bulged again. They
relald It th third ttm. and tha blocks
bulged woraa than ever during the re
cent storm.
Th property-owner raised a proteai
agalnat paying for tha improvement.
When th matter waa brought before
I I , . u tha contractor.-.
stated that they had laid the blocks sc-
cordlng to instructions irom
englneer'e office, and that they were not
to blame for the condition of the streets.
The city engineer stated thaj If Uie
block had been laid properly they
would not have bulged. Th committee
came to the conclualoo that the contrac
tors had followed Instruetlons. and that
the fault lay with the city engineer.
Th work wa accepted, and Coun
cilman Rumelln introduced a resolu
tion before the council for the lmprove-
. ih. atraet where necessary at a
t to exceed 40 cente a square j
yard. The coat of repairs waa to be
taken from the street repair fund. Thla
proposition waa looked upon with dla

NOMANTIA BRINGS
ORIENTAL WARES
Fast Voyage, Considering tha
Storms, of tha Big Liner
From Yokohama.
OUTGOING CARGO WILL
BE EASTERN FREIGHT
hrfeamer Elleric, Which Sailed
Week Before Sister Ship
Not Yet Reported.
After a paaaage of IT days from Yoko
hama, the oriental liner Numantla
reached Aatorla this morning at
o'clock. The ateamer Is bringing a full
cargo of far eaatern products, and th
expected to reach Portland lata thla af
ternoon. Notwithstanding th storm that have
been raging during the past two weeks,
tha vessel made an unusually quick
trip. Occasionally a freighter makes the
same run across the Pacific In ll days,
but few of the steamers now operated
by the Portland a Astatic company have
done as well. She Is scheduled to sail
on the return voyage December t, the
bulk of her cargo to constat of eaatern
freight A big portion of It la now at
the docks.
Although she Balled a wsek earlier
than the Numantla, th steamship El
leric. under charter to the same company
to load at Portland for China and Japan
haa not been heard from. However, she
galled from Mojl. whleh la two days' run
to Yokohama, but by making anything
like an average passage she should have
arrived four or five days ago. She la
coming in ballast, and, for that reason
it Is held that the Russians would have
no object m capturing her. It Is be
lieved that ahe haa been delayed by
bad weather and will arrive soon.
Nearly all of the Ellertc'a outward
cargo will conalst of eastern freight. The
Indications now ar that there win oe
but very little flour shipped direct from
Portland to the orient during the month
of December. The principal shipments
that are 'made In that line will go by
way of Puget sound. The Ellamy may
take out a flour cargo, but no on here
appear to know very much about her.
or why she is neaoea in- mis airecuon.
DECEIVED DOGS.
Dr. McKay's
Thought
glvtng Waa Saturday.
When the ateamer Altona pulled Into
her 'dock at 'the foot of Taylor atreet
from Lewis river Saturday afternoon
she bad on board a couple of dogs,
which had been enjoying a little outing
during the past few days. The dogs
are Irish setters, belonging to Dr. H.
McKay of thl city. Ovary Saturday
he haa been taking them down to Lewis
river on the steamer Altona to enjoy
a few hours' hunt. White making
these trlpa the doga alwaya occupied
a berth In tha engine room near th
furnace, where th temperature ap
peared to be to their liking. They knew
when Saturday rolled around Juat as
wait aa the fellow who publishes th
almanac, and 'they alwaya went to the
dock bright and early that day to wait
for the boat.
But there came a time when they
mad a mistake In their calculations.
On Thanksgiving day they went to the
dock and Impatiently trotted up and
down the slip until th boat put In an
appearance. When the craft' came
alongside the .ogs sprang aboard and
went Into the engine room, where they
remained until it was time for the ves
sel to start on the return trip. The
officers saw the animals, but did not
disturb them, thinking that their owner
would soon appear. But he did not
come, and the crew forgot all about th
dog until they were far down below
the steel bridge.
The stores war cloaed at goon on
Thanksgiving, and that la the reason
given for their trip to the dock and
appearance on tha Altona, aa they had
been accuatomed to do on all such days.
Thev got along very well without
their maatar. Reaching Lewie river
they bounded ashore and began tha
search for pheasants. A man with a
gun followed them and succeeded In
making on of th biggest killings of
th season.
HOLT HILL IN PORT.
The Britten Ship Mad Some Terrible Ex
periences on Sag Long Voyage.
More than 11 montha ago the British
ship Holt Hill aallad from Hamburg for
Portland. She reached her destination
thla morning a trifle before the noon
hour. Her paaaage has been fraught
with exasperating delays from tha atari.
During the first part of the voyage con
trary winds had to he contended with;
then ran into frequent calms. Off Cap
Horn she met an ordinary gale, which In
creased In fury until It became a howl
ing hurricane. Thla subsided, but an
other hurricane broke ovr her. more
terrible than the first. It stripped th
ship of her principal sails and carried
away a part of her rigging. Tha storm
continued without abatement for almost
three days, and when It did quiet down
the vessel Was In almost a helpless con
dition. It waa decided that It would be
Impossible to take her around the Horn,
and she was headed up the roast for
Montevideo. She reached that port with
great difficulty i and remained there
about three montha undergoing repairs.
Whan she again started for the Colum
bia river she limped along at a painfully
alow rate. The vessel had been lying
In salt water ao long that th bottom of
her hull had become foul. It la com
pletely covered with a growth of bar
nacles almoat six Inches In length. Some
of them hav fatten off sine th Co-,
lumbla river waa reached, but In order
to place the veaael In a clean condition
It Is very probaMe that ahe will have to
be drydocked.
Th vessel brought a general cargo
from Hamburg, consigned to Balfour,
Outhrl at Co. She Is lying at the Oce
anic dock. Captain Parker la her com
mander, and did not know that hla name
sake had run and had been defeated for
the presidency of the United States until
he reached Astoria.
