Sims aays that In view of the conduct
of the trusts, the Standard Oil should
be shown no leniency. He declares that
In order to procure small bonds the
agents represented the assets of the
trusts not to exceed a few millions,
while In reality It had property valued
at 127,000.000; that while the company
claimed that the profits were nominal

BURSTS IH CELL
A part, of last evening was fcpent by
F. R. Whltcomb in the tonneau of an
'automobile, the balance of the hours of
darkness he. spent In company wflh a
half score or mora of "drunks" and
"vagsV in a cell at' the 'city prison, nd
all because he started out in a searcn
for, trouble, and was so unfortunate as
to find it. t ,
Whltcomb, vrho U said to be a travel
ing salesman, hired an automobile' from
the White Auto Livery company last
evening and started out for a ride about
the city. He Insisted on the chauffeur
performing all sorts or stunts, ana wnen
the latter protested threatened him with
personal violence. He would neither
alight from the machine nor pay for its
hire, and finally in desperation the
chauffeur drove up to the police sta
tion and asked ror help.
Whitcomh defied the entire nolice de
partment, and the circumstances of his
removal from the automobile to a cell
in the prison were spoctacular to the
last degree. Sergeant Baty had charge
of the law and-order end of the pro
gram, and it was his strong right a-m
that finally deposited Whltcomb and his
smart apparel in tne miast or tne mot
lev assemblaae in the "drunk" cell.
In the police court this morning Whlt
comb pleaded ' guilty to the charge of
drunkenness and meekly but sorrowfully
parted with a 110 piece in payment of
his fine. He also separated himself
from a 15 mil to reimourse m automo
bile company for his short but hilarious
ride of the evening before.

with Interesting data concerning the
great fleet Of . ocean-going vessels that
as visited this port this season.
On November 25, 1907, the tonnage
Of vessels listed and on the way to
Portland was 139,723 tons. On the same
date In 1906 the tonnage was 63,321, or
86,402 tons less than in 1907.
Among the violations, of the harbor
rules which, were, corrected by the har
bormaster last year was compelling the
mills and .factories along the river to
put in bulkheads to confine the sawdust
and log ends, which means a saving to
the city in dredging the channel to re
move the refuse; the prevention of
steamboats racing up and down the
stream; compelling vessels to have their
refuse carted away Instead of dumping
it into the river, .and many other in
fractions of the rules.
Harbormaster Speier recommends that
mooring buoys be installed in the west

ocean liners coming Into port and the
lighting of the docks at, night by means
of electricity.
