NORWEGIAN CRAFT DUE TO ARRIVE Steamer Saint Egbert Under Charter to Carry Lumber to Ports In Phil. ipplnes and Bark Nal Will Carry Wheat to Europe. Transport Baford Might Leave Army Stores Behind. When the army transport Buford leaves San Francisco February 6 for Manila she will have to leave a large amount of army stores for the Philip pines behind on the dock. Already ojl "of the available space on the transport has been marked off for the troops of the Twenty-third Infantry and the large number of casuals who will go by the vessel to Manila and the space for freight is also all bespoken. It is prob able that a big consignment of army stores, which should be dispatched at the time scheduled for the Buford's sailing, will have to be sent by a mer chant vessel. The German bark Nal arrived up yes terday and anchored in the stream near St Johns, and the British tramp steam er Egbert arrived up during the night and went Ho the mills of the St Johns Lumber company. The Nal is In ballast from Iqulque, and the Saint Egbert came light from Guaymas. The former will load for Europe under charter to Balfour, Guth rie & Co., and the same firm will dis patch the steamer with 3,000,000 feet of lumber for the Philippines. Among the steamers due to arrive here soon is the Tungus, flying the Norwegian flag, and under charter to carry lumber to the orient. She should reach Portland Monday or Tuesday next week, a report having been received here yesterday of her leaving Santa Rosalia Friday night The Tungus comes to carry lumber to Panama. PLANK SLIDES INTO RIVER. Captain Jacobsen lias Narrow Es cape From Accident. In landing at Couch street dock last nrght the steamer Alliance, from Coos Bay. had to wedge her way between tha structure and the gasoline schooner and Berwick. In dolns so the Improvised gangplank leading from the dork Into the rigging of the schooner slid from its supports and plunged Into the river. Captain Jacobsen, who gave up com mand of the Berwick yesterday, had Just stepped off the plank to the deck and came within a hair's breadth of being crushed by its fall. He did not notice the plank slide and would have been injured had not the lookout on the Alliance and people on the dock yelled for him to look out. Captain Jacobsen had been removing his personal effects from the Berwick s cabin, which will henceforth be occupied by Captain Bowdwlch, formerly master of the steam schooner Aurella. He will go to Coos Bay on the Alliance when she sails Monday night to look after some real estate there, and then proceed to San Francisco for a visit with his family. Captain Jacobsen has had command of the Berwick for two years and In that time has not had a chance to meet hla family once. NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Noon had intended that there should be only one trustee," said Judge O'Day in the course of his re marks, In substance, "I do not under stand why he would appoint three. He did name one who was his business as sociate and another who was his own son. The court cannot assume to know more about the intentions of the tes tator than did W. C. Noon himself, and he appointed three trustees. 1 "It has been held that the court has no power to appoint trustees, and if this were true the court would have nothing to do with the case at all. 1 would be glad to avoid this duty and would be satisfied to say that, my hands were tied and 1 could do no more, but 1 can not agree with that contention.

Apparently the busi ness was run honestly and well, and there is apparently no disposition on the part of the heirs to dispossess Mr. Armstrong In the management. But the court disagrees with the view of Mr. Armstrong, as he pressed It on the stand, to tne effect tiat he alone should ; act as a trustee. If Mr. Noon meant that, it is most unfortunate that he did not nay so in the will He used lan guage that is exactly opposite, as plain ' as language can be. Patch Up Quarrel. "Rut it seems to me that this quar rel should not be irreconcilable, but that the parlies should agree as to who should be trustees. I am not a strong bellover In absent treatment. Here is a business, and these bickerings ought to stop stop chasing shadows and take tho substance. It would certainly be a mortifying thing if the decision of thin court to appoint trustees should wreck the business. The parties should fet together, and there should not be no much standing on technical legal . right. They may be good for the law yera, but In this case you ought to be ubli to harmonize these matters." Judge ODay added that he has not . decided as to the status of the other helrn, a;iile from Mrs. Noon. In the trust estate, as to whether they hold , absolutely or have only a life estate. He also enmmented on the salary paid to Armstrong, which has been advanced from $17i to J350 per month. He said he did not think this salary excessive for one who has the brains success fu .y to manage a large concern. Neat Saturday was named as the time the . trustees will be announced by the court. . if an agreement is not reached by the parties in the meantime. -Contradicts Mrs. Boon. -.-Armstrong was on the stand for some ' time yesterday to Justify his course In the management of the affairs of the W. C. Noon Bag company. His evidence . in many respects was contradictory to that given by the widow, Mrs. Emily J. Noon. . . Armstrong declared tnai Mrs. noon at one time told him that she was de termined to be one or tne airectors .ot the bag company, even if It ruined the . credit of the company. Mrs. Noon denied this, but said Armstrong tola ( her that if other trustees were chosen to act with him he would resign and sell his Interests In the bsg company. Mrs. Noon said she replied, "very elL" . . Mrs. Noon repeatedly disclaimed any purpose to meddle in the affairs of the bar comnanv but Said that SDe does Insist on an accounting and on some representation by the heirs on the directing board. Armstrong objected that If other trustees were chosen the conditions would be the same as before H. M. Cake and W. C Noon. Jr., re signed, she said, but she told him that would not be the case, there being no Intention on her part to Interfere with his management Armstrong stated on the stand today that the bag company Is ready to de clare another dividend as soon as $45, 000 due from the W. C. Noon estate has been paid. The estate has 1100, 000 worth of unincumbered property -which will soon be sold, having been tied up until recently by litigation.
