THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER , 1M. NUMANTIA HERE ON HER FIRST TRIP Succession of Heavy Storms Retarded Steamer, but She Suffered No Damage. OFFICERS KNOW LITTLE OF THE EASTERN WAR Railroad Building In China That Will Make Hankow Chicago of That Country. Storm were frequently encountered by the oriental liner Nuinuntla, which arrived In the harbor this morning from Yokohama, but the officers report that the vessel sustained no damage. liut little war news was learned, the expla nation being that the Japs are still ad hering to the policy of keeping their movements unknown to the public. While the. Numantla was at Kobe the orr leers say that quite a number of sol diers embarked on a transport for the front. The soldiers took passage at midnight for the ostensible purpose of keeping their number from becoming generally known. The steamer sailed from Yokohama on November 11, and for the first two days nut fine weather was experienced. Then followed a succession of gales. The worst storm occurred five days before the Columbia river was reached. Three American passengers made the trip. They are Joseph Hervey of Uutte, Mont., s. Westbrooke of Chicago, and W, 8. Cblene of Spokane. During the past year they have been employed in an official capacity on the new railroad which Is under construction between Canton and Hankow, China. Mr. Hervey says that Hankow is the Chicago of China, and prophesies that some duy It will be the great commercial center. He will return and engage In business In the spring. He la a printer, and hue an extensive acquaintance with members of the art preservative In the various Pa cific coast cities. This Is the first trip that the Numan tla ever made to the Columbia river. Of similar appearance and alse to the other vessels of the Hamburg-American line that sre under charter to the Portland a Asiatic company, she la of 4,371 tons gross register, but has an actual1 carry ing capacity of something like 4,000 tons. Rhe is In command of Captain Brehmer. On thla trip she brought 31.713 rolls of matting, 1,786 cases of tea, 289 case of oranges. 3 parcels; it cases of plants, 063 cases of fruit and curios, and 1,066 cases of rice. Last night the vessel anchored British steamship Kllenc, which sailed from MoJI for Portland on November 4, and consequently Is out II days. With an ordinary passage she should have reached the Columbia fiver almost a week ago. The shippers are of the opinion that she met with some very heavy weather, which accounts for her non-arrival. As she is coming in ballast It Is explained that neither of the prln pals of the war now In the fsr esst would have any excuse for capturing her. STOUCX ST A CBOWBAX. Captain Nelson, master of the schooner Honolulu, had his foot badly Injured yesterday afternoon by being struck with a crowbar, which fell from the deck of the vessel to the dock, where he was standing. The skipper la obliged to go around on crutches, but that fact will not prevent his putting to sea. The vessel will sail tonight for MhaughaL She has on board 1,600,000 feet of lumber. or poxt coarmssiow. A special meeting of the Port of Portland commission will be held to morrow afternoon to take action on the bids submitted for repairing the hull and putting boilers in the steamer We nona, the drydock and dredge tender The work will coat several thousund dollars. Navigation was blocked in the harbor for more than half an hour yesterday evening by a raft of boom sticks which the steamer Vulcan had In tow getting crosswise of the draw of the Morrison street bridge. Other small craft as- alsted In clearing the channel of the obstructing timbers. gXJJTDAT sxAve: or DUCKS. Fined $6 five times for contempt of court by Police Judge Hogue, M.

This news wan bmught to Portland by the sailors of the Ill-fated craft, who arrived In tha city last night. The name of the sur vivors are Second Mate Korthea. Stew ard Gardiner and Able Seamen Winters and Olsen. It is now generally believed that the mate and the two sailors who embarked In a small boat during the storm, to go In search of help, werjt. drowned, although there Is still one small hope that they were saved. The point at which they left the ship waa about live mllea from Tlllamcok rock, on which there Is a government light house. There Is a possibility that they may have reached this point. The lighthouse tender Heather will go down there today, which will be the first time that any communication haa been had with the Tillamook lighthouse sine the storm. The friends of the missing sailors are hoping that they found a refuge there. sESONA GOES TOMORROW. Nearly 1,000 ducks were brought to Portland yesterday on the steamers lone and Bepubllc from the Columbia and Willamette sloughs, where they were killed by Portland hunters on Sunday. Many more were killed at those points, and were brought here by private conveyances. MARINE NOTES. Astoria. Nov! St. Sailed at 8 a m Steamer Kim ore for Tillamook; steamer W. H. Harrison for Sluslaw.

Yesterday they were arrested by Patrolman Croxton for keeping their li censes concealed. Both were found guilty and fined 18 each, when Smith Insisted on "talking. He was cautioned and finally fined for contempt, when he continued talk ing. When the aggregate amount of fines for contempt reached 326 he lost his temper completely and in a fit of rage threw all hla money on the table.

ALIEN & GILBERT-RAMAKER COMPANY 'T do not know what I have been called here for, further than to testify In -Utn land fraud cases," mildly replied W. A. Richards, commissioner of the general land office, when questioned last evening at Hotel Portland. "I was sum moned hastily, mailt, the trip quickly. and expect to get away soon. My trip is not In any official capacity, and therefore I do not care to discuss in terior department affairs at this time. Whatever" I have to say will be on the witness stand." ...... ... Thla covered the breadth of Informa tion aeeu red, tiom the distinguished of ficial, who. while a western man In clos est touch with western land conditions. Is said to be la remarkable -harmony with Secretary Hitchcock, who- Is so frequently charged with lack of sym pathy for the west. Commlxsioner Richards' high standing with the admin istration la sotronounced that yester day's dlspatchea spoke of him as the probable successor of his chief In the president's political family, should Hitchcock retire. On this and other in teresting subjects Portland's eminent visitor dilated as follows: "I do not care to say anything at all regarding such subjects." "When will the Interior department make the Blue mountain forest reserve withdrawal a permanent reserve, and will there be further eliminations be fore final action"" "I am not in position to make any statement." "What action will the Interior depart ment take with regard to the Warner valley settlers, snd Is title to be given the land company despite the governor's protest?" "All we have to say about that has been set forth In the press snd com munication to the governor of Ore gon." "Will forest reaerve regulations for the use of timber by miners he altered so as to expedite the securing of what Is needed V "I am not In a position to answer." Mr. Richards Is accompanied by hla daughter. Mtas Edna. He was In con ference last evening with Col. A. R. Green, the Inspector who has been In strumental In working out the present case and others pressed by the Interior department against land operators of the northwest. Personal contact with his workers will no doubt be utilised for additional Information, as prosecu tion of land fraud cases hss been the feather most attentively plumed by Ufa present secretary. Wyoming Is the home of the land commissioner. In that state originated the recent report that Mr. Richards will probably be the successor to Mr. Hitchcock should the latter retire. The news warmed Oregon perceptibly, for Wyoming Is s land of vast distances and scant population, and one nurtured there mnst be n keen sympathy with the reclamation work and range problems confronting Oregon.

The patrolman testified that Asher had a man employed to use a mega phone. He warned the proprietor of the tore that this waa In violation of a municipal ordinance. Asher, so he tes tified, paid no attention to the warning and permitted the man to continue shouting through the megaphone. Asher. his young son and another wit ness swore that the use of the mega phone wss discontinued when the officer warned them. Attorney Cohen declared that Pstrolman Carr "has It In for Asher." and aaksd him a number of questions Intended to draw out that fact.
