Portland Durinp: Past Year
Shipped More Wheat Than
During', Any Correspond
ing Period in History of
the City. J
Port Sends Forth Several
Hundred Thousand More
Bushels Than Combined
Puget Sound Ports Xext
Year Greater.
During the cereal year ending today
Portland exported more wheat than dur
ing any correspondnlg period in Its his
tory. Foreign markets bought 15,600,000
bushels through Portland while through
the combined Puget Bound ports they
bought 16.t00.O0O. But taking coastwise
business into consideration, Portland
shipped several hundred thousand bush
els more during the year than all the
Puget sound ports.
Indications are that wheat exports
next year will send Portland fa in'ths
lead of . all the combined Paclflo eoaat
ports. Everything points to this and
there ls good reason to believe that
Portland will be second to New Tork in
nnint of prominence as a wheat shin-
ping port when in June, 1909. the statis
tics of the department of commerce and
labor are compiled. This department
keeps tab on every bushel sent away
from the states and records the same
for future reference.
During the season now closing Port
land ealr.ed second place two or three
times when the monthly statements
were publlshed and at one time the oort
held the place of honor, with New York
second.
Tits co Drops Off. -
Puget sound, like Portland, shipped
more wheat during the season than or
dinarily, but 8an Francisco showed an
alarming falling off. In fact, California
dropped out of ths race some time ago
with the exports rapidly diminishing
each successive season. Data on Cali
fornia wheat exports . show that since
1902 they have decreased rapidly until
this season thev will foot un little more
than half a million bushels. Wheat ex
ports from California during the season
of 1901-02 amounted to 10,000,000 bush
els. While it is interesting to note thru
Portland set afloat within 40,000 bush
els as much wheat as California and all
the Puget sound ports combined It is
equally interesting to note that the
Oregon metropolis set afloat more
wheat cargoes for foreign ports than the

EXPORTS
BUILDING PERMITS
FOR JUNE CLOSE TO
LAST YEAR'S RECORD
Building permits to ths value of about
$816,618 wars Issued from the office of
the building Inspector for the month
of June up -to noon today. This is
within $8,000 of : May's record, whlch
will probably bs exceeded by several
thousand dollars - before the close of
business today. So far S76 permits
have been issued this month, as against
401 In May.
Compared with June of last year per
mits for this month lack but S3S.786 of
being as large as they ' were for the
sams period last year. The number of
permits was 372, against 382 for Inst
year, - a difference of but 10. The
amount this year was $$26,616 against
$865,260 for last year. .
This Is considered a remarkable Show
in and surorised evervbodv oonnwtl
with the building- inspector's offiee-when
the. totals were announced. Following
an era of depression the recovery, has
been - much more rapid than even the
most sanguine expected. Thy declare
that It la almost impossible to conceive
that the building permits would equal
those of last year, which were the great
est in ths history of ths city for June.

TRIUMPH
Fight for President of the
Federation of Women's
Clubs Carried Upon the
Convention Floor and Mrs.
Moore Wins.
"Regulars," Being the Far
Eastern Contingent, Sup
porting Mrs. Ward, Van
quished by Western Votes
Other Officers.
(TJntti'd Pre Lemml W!r.
Boston, Mass., June 30. "The regu
lars" were defeated today in the elec
tion of officers for the Federation of
Women's clubs, which is in biennial ses
sion here. Mrs. Phillip N. Moore of
St. Louis defeated Mrs. May. Alden
Ward of Boston for the presidency by
a vote of 616 to 390.
This was the only contest, and feeling
ran high among the delegates. Mrs.
Moore was supported by the western
clubwomen. Her opponent, Mrs. Ward,
was the choice of the nominating com
mittee, and Mrs. Moore's adherents car
ried the fight to the floor of the con
vention and nominated her there with
out the recommendation of the nomi
nating committee.
The fight for the presidency was one
of the hottest in the history of the or
ganisation. Mrs. Ward is a well-known
authoress of Boston and had the sup
port of the entire New England delega
tion. The balloting began at 2:80
o'clock ' yesterday afternoon, but the
final result was not known until this
morning. ...
With the exception of Delaware, New
England and the middle Atlantic states
voted solidly for Mrs. Ward. The sup
port of the west, the middle west and
the south, however, elected her oppo
nent. Mrs. Moore, the successful candidate.
was first vice-president from 1904 un
til 1908. and has served the Federation
of Women's clubs In many capacities.
She is a graduate or vassar college and
was made a member of the board of
trustees of that institution in April
1902.
As this was ths only contest, the oth
er recommendations of the nominating
committee were ratified by the dele
gates. The other officers elected are
as follows: Mrs. Josiah 133. Cowles of
Los Angeles, Cal., first vice-president;
Mrs. Belle King of Illinois, second vice-
president; Mrs. William Johnson of
Kansas to the board of directors; Mrs.
Frederick N. Shleck, Wheatland, Wye
corresponding secretary.
That the total amount will reach the
figures attained last year Is believed by
contractors and others about the city
hall today. Thea verage number of per
mits Issued during the month was
about 12 a day and Inasmuch as only
six were Issued this morning it can be
expected that at least six more will be
Issued this afternoon for an amount
which will bring the total to last years
figures.
The Jargest permit taken out this
month waa for a structure valued at
$100,000. although several permits for
brick buildings valued at from $20,000
to $46,000 wer issued.
Nearly three fourths of the Whole
sum represented new flat, residence and
apartment house construction. Many
handsome residences were begun during
the month Just coming to a close,
scarcely a day passim? without permits
being Issued for dwellings valued at
from $6,000 to $8,000.
The total volume of real estate trans
fers filed for record In June will amount
to approximately $1,160,000. This is
slightly below -the record of last month,
which is In a measure accounted for by
the partial cessation of business during
the Rose Festival week.
America and Japan wtll ba in active

by Ex-Supervisor Fifth
Death, Mrs. Dissmeyer.
. (United Press Lesscd Wire.)
San Francisco, June 30. Detectives
and police are baffled today in their
efforts to explain tha explosion which
destroyed two buildings and cost the
lives of five persons yesterday and,
though they are unable to substantiate
It, they still cling to the accident theory.
Special agents of the graft prosecu
tion are investigating the statement of
Mrs. Edna Stremme, who lives near the
soene of the explosion and who srvs
she saw a man running away after tne
explosion. She gave the sleuths a de
tailed description or the man, and In
connection with other clews they are
engaged in vigorous efforts that may
lead to an arrest today.
Ho Gasoline Thez.
Fred Sweeney, son of John Sweeney,
owner of the destroyed grocery store,
who was killed, denied positively today
that there was any gasoline In the store,
but the police, who seek to prove this
theory, are endeavoring; to show that
gasoline was Illegally kept for sale to
automobile drivers.
The belief that the explosion was the
work of dynamiters, however, is strong
est among those . who have seen the
ruins. Investigation showed that
Thomas C Gallagher, to whom the prop
erty . was leased. Is a half-brother of
Samuel Johnson, who conducted a sa
loon on the site which was destroyed.
He is no relation to the Thomas -J.
Gallagher, who. Is the brother of former
Supervisor "Big Jim Gallagher, who.
has been the object of repeated dyna
miting outrages,
Members or the grart prosecution be
lieve, nevertheless, that the thusrs who
blew up "Big Jim's" property were mis
led by the names being practically iden
tical Went Over Records.
Havlnar found all of Gallaeher'a, nron.
erty carefully guarded. It is believed
they went over the records in the re
corder's office and hit upon the prop
erly as an opportunity ror a new at
tack. The ruthless criminality that
would lead to such sacrifice of persons
in no war connected with the oblefte
or meir aiaooiicaj piois, nas magnined
me necessity or running down the dyna
miters, in the view of the graft prose
cution. The fifth death was added to the list
at midnight, when Mrs. May Dissmeyer
nuccumuea to me injuries sns sustained.
Fred Sweeney, who is badly hurt, waa
reported to be doing well at the hos
pital toaay.

Announcement From Rome
Indicates That All Doubts
Are Set at Rest-
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Rome, June $0. It was learned today
that the congregation of ths Drooa-
canoa has been cabling to San Francisco,
making Inquiries as to- the antecedents
and genoral reputation of Dr. Hanna,
This Is taken to mean that the holy
father has agreed to set aside the
charges of modernism asralnst Dr. Han
na and that he will shortly be appointed
coadjutor to Monsignor Rlordan, arch-
Disnop or tne diocese or San Francisco.
The announcement soma tl
from tho Vatican that thf rnLdintor.
ship ol the San Francisco diocese would
remain vacant for some time caused no
"ttie surprise here. The reason riven
was that Dr. Hanna'a friends had been
making too strenuous a campaign for
nun ana mat me pope was uncertain
concerning the charges of modernism
that had been brought against Dr. Hna
na. The Vatican is evidently satisfied
ow this latter score and it is said here
that Dr. Hanna's friends have been
