Engineer Lockwood Will Today Recom
mend to the Port Commissioners Rad
ical Improvements in the Towage
System on the Upper and Lower Rivers.
At least three powerful sea-going!
tug and two powerful stern wheel
towboats between Portland and the sea
will be placed In commission when the
Port of Portland assumes charge of
the towage and pilotage service be
tween this port and the ocean, if the
report , which Port Engineer J. B. C.
Lockwood will present at a special
meeting of th commission this after
noon is adopted.
Engineer Lockwood refuses to divulge
.i the contents of the report until it be- :
comes public property by its presenta- (
tlonto the commission, but it la under
Blood that his ideas am that tha present
service should be Improved to the ex
tent indicated above. For the present
and for several years in the past two
seagoing tugs have been maintained at
the mouth of the river to tow vessels
into the bay off Astoria while one and
at times two sternwheel steamers havet
been engaged in towing the vessels up
and down the river. One of the ocean
going tugs, the Wallula. and the river
towboats are owned and operated by
the O. R. N. company, the ocean
going tug Tatoosh being operated by
the O. K. Ac N. company under leas
from a Puget sound concern of which
Captain Bailey is a prominent stock-
holder. - ' .' v
madical Clangse Plannad.
'. Mr. Lockwood's report Is based upon
a close investigation made several
weeks ago when he visited all the lead
ing seaports of the country for the
-purpose or siuaymg ineir respective
towage and pilotage systems. He ad
mits that the report win call for a
radical improvement, meaning thereby
larger and more powerful boats, both
for the river and ocean business, be
sides a greater number, possibly to the
extent of having three river towboats
so that one could be stationed at each
end of the route with one In service.

Towage Report Today.
Engineer Lockwood will confine his

towage systems, the report on the pi

river business.
For a long time the O. R. A N. com
pany has been compelled to engage ex
tra towboats to assist in moving ships
In the harbor while Its two towboats,
the Oklahoma and Harvest Queen, were
busy handling shipping between Port
land and Astoria. With three powerful
boats, it is believed the necessity of
engaging exb-a boats would not often
S resent itself, although they could "un
oubtedly be had as how should the
occasion present itself.
Patrol Boat Possible. .
The question of the maintenance of
a steam pilot boat to patrol the ocean
off the mouth of the river will come
up with the report covering the proposed
pilotage- service.
Another matter of importance to be
taken up at this afternoon's special

Opposing Police Theory
That Victim Sent Pow
ders to Himself. .
(United Press Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Dec. 4. "Let the one
who did this deed suffer. Lt him
never have rest again."
Inconsolable over the tragic death of
her ann Mrs k' Boas. mother OI
Harry Boas, the young man who died
under suspicious circumstances oa-riy
yesterday morning after swallowing
"stomach rjowders. moans unceasingly
at her home, praying that the person
vhn nhA heliovea. sent her boy the
deadly dose of strychnine, may pay the
penalty for that auegea cryne.
Murder is the theory wmch the ais
t ranted . mnther nffnrs as tha only ex
planation of her son's strange end, and
It will take much more than the theor
izing of the Ban Jose police to con
vince her that the young man planned
a melodramatic suicide.
Mrs. Boas was too ill toaay to p
Interviewed. Her family reel deeply
concerned over her condition. .
In her stead. Miss uoas, me invana
sister of the young man, gave the
family's opinion of the San Jose police
theory that Harry Boas wrote the doc
tor's" letter which accompanied the
poisonous "medicine" walch caused his
death. .
Opposing Buiciae i neory.
"It is an Incredible theory," said, the
young woman today. "It has absolute
ly no foundation. The handwriting in
the letter, In the first place, is not his.
He wrote-a decided- black hand, and
he Invariably used a stub pen. If the
police have discovered that It was, a
disguised hand, why doesn't it bear out
our theory that a murderer sent the
poison and naturally enough sought to
conceal his identity?
"Harry did not acx aiier rwtivms
the letter as If he had written It him
self. He criticised it, wondering about
the spelling of some of the words. He
told the elevator boy at his office that
he thought the handwriting had a fa
miliar look. He showed It to several
of his friends and discussed It as a
curiosity.
"Harry was positive that the letter
had been sent at the request of his
'lady friend' down at San Jose. He was
an imnulslve bov. and he lumped to this
conclusion without weighing the pros
and cons. He was so sure or tms mat
he laughed at our suspicions that all
might not be right.
r'8he sent It to me,' he said, and
that seemed to make everything .safe,
as far as he was concerned. He was
not suspicious, and he seemed to have
absolute faith In this girl, whom he
thought so much of.
"If the detectives had seen Harry In
his death agonies, as we did, they never
would have talked about suicide. He
was amazed at the effect of the poison,
and I remember him crying out almost
In the throes of death: 'Who could
have sent me those "awful powders?"
"As he began -to stiffen In the last
convulsion, he pleaded with . the doc
tor to save his. life, and he assured his
mother that' he was going to recover."
Model Man, His ?opl Say.
The family of young Boas describe
him as a model man, deeply attached
to his family, of which -he was the sole
support. They say "he had no entangle
ments In this city and that a Ban Jose
girl Was his oiilef interest, although
he did not make many trips to that city
to call on her. Of a haDnv.- affable
disposition, ' he made and kept friends,
and his relatives say he had no enemies
to harass htm. ,
Although adhering to the murder
"theory, the Boas family, can offer no
clues to leud to a probable assassina
tion, and. when pressed further, they
admit that they can see no motive for
such a crime.
Being almost destitute, they are in
no position to hire detectives and carry
on the investigation Independently. The
San Francisco detectives are trying to
find the drug store where the strychnine
In the "stomach powder" was purchased.
The San Jose police have reported that
the poison was not bought In that city
and the search has been directed to the
drug stores. here.
That Boas had a mania for calling
himself a Yale man Is one of the pe
culiar features of the strange case,
which came to light todav. Boas told
young women in San Jose with whom
he was on friendly terms, that tie had
graduated from Yale and that he be
longed to athletic teams and secret so
cieties at that Institution. His room
and his office were filled with photo-
grapns ana college pennants, all cnar
acterlstic of a Yale man's tastes.
-The remarkable part about this reve
lation is mat Boas- family states posi
tively that he never went to Yale and,
In fact, never went farther with his
education than a hisrh school course.
Intimate friends of his asked him why
he persisted In this fabrication, and he
is quoted as answering that he found it
helped him in his business to pose aa a
college graduate.

(From Chicago Examiner.)
"Speaking; from , my own per
sonal experience and from - ob
servation of many whom I have
successfully treated in the past
two years, I should say that
Madame Moneaux really owed
her great success as a beauty
specialist to the use of a simple
preparation which Is used ex
clusively to develop the bust,
arms -and neck. I became ac
quainted with this formula and
have used is ever since, much to
the delight of patrons.
''If your bust lacks develop
ment or firmness you can rely
on both : Increase ' and firmness
from the persistent use of the
following: Obtain from the drug
gist two ounces of glycerine and
one ounco tincture cadomene
compound, mix and let stand
several hours;' then add a tea
spoonful of borax . and. 1 three
ounces of rosewater. Shake well
and apply to the neck, arms and
bust, rubbing and massaging
until it is completely absorbed;
then wash the parts treated
.with very, 'hot water . and soap
and dry thoroughly. Apply the
treatment morning and night
regularly for several weeks or
months as the case may require,
and the most exquisite firmness
and rounding out of hollow
places will reward you.
