STEEL BR TOTTERS DGE IN I Structure Trembles Like Ship in Storm Under Throng Rushing Home , After Seeing Parade Tender Thrown From Seat Swaying and rocking like a boat on storm tossed sea, the steel bridge vibrating to the tread of B00O hurrying pairs bf feet, threatened to collapse last t night and many people frightened by the cries of warning from the bridge man and dizzied by the terrific surging of the structure grew seasick. One man tried to jump over the railing but was restrained by two companions. 1 was Just after the electrical parade last night, about 10 o'clock, and thous ands of people were hastening across the bridge on foot The passing of two seagoing vessels on the river necessi tated the opening of the draw for an unusual length of time and before it was . closed the entire west half of the bridge was packed with a crowding, seething mass of humanity. The Instant the draw swung back and the barriers were released there was a headlong rush and the big steel viaduct began to rock faster and faster. Bridge man C. Hutchinson, who was thrown from his scat in the lookout room to the floor by the violent motion, became alarmed and rushing out on the bridge gave a loud command to halt. "I tell you, I was scared," said he. "I thought the oldvspan was going to tumble In. The people who heard me must nave realised the danger they were In, for the rush stopped in a moment. But a number of women crowded around , ana it was all I could do to quiet them. As soon as the vibrations ceased the crowd started again and 1 was mighty glad when It passed safely over." -Although safe enough for ordinary travel, the old bridge has been pro nounced dangerous to heavy traffic for some time ana tne railroad company is ready to begin construction of a new bridge as soon as permission Is granted by the Port of Portland, to whom ap plication has been made for authority to change the location of the bridge to a point about two blocks further south. Had the bridge collapsed last night the loss of life would have been appall ing. With thousands struggling in the water. It would have been next to im possible for any of them to have reached shore and safety. The falling structure would probably have killed hundreds. The Incident recalled to mind the accident that occurred at the east end of the old Morrison bridge some years ago, when a portion of the sidewalk gave way -under a crowd watching an armless man swim across the river and when several Ues Were lost and many persons were seriously injured. The old Morrison bridge was a wooden structure, and the rail had been cut for a gate to the Portland Rowing club's old home near the east approach. This weakened the structure and started the sidewalk. CHILD LEAPS III FRONT OF AUTO (United Press Leased Wire.) New York. June 12.

KANSAS FINDS A GOOD TRUST Supreme Court Commission er's Decision Unique in Jurisprudence. United Preaa Leaied Wire.) Topeka. Kas., June 12.--The Interna tional Harvester company la a trust. That 1b the decision of Special Commis sioner Ganz for the Kansas supreme court today, filing his Ylndlng of fact after two years spent In taking testi mony in the suit brought by the attor ney general to oust the company from the state and compell the payment of $60,000 back charter fees. The finding Is unusual. While the commissioner is certain thai the har vester company is a trust, he also finds that It Is a good trust. It has violated the laws of Kansas, he says, but It has benefited Its owners, the dealers In Im plements and the farmers. The report ' recommends the ousting of the company on the charge of viola tion of the anti-trust laws, but rejects the state's claim to the back charter feos. In the finding much testimony is Included showing the efficiency of the organllatlon and the benefits that had been derived. I'nlike other trusts, the harvesters company had reduced the price of farm machinery to the con sumer. The report goes into the history of the company. Prior to 1905. it shows, there were six companies competing in harvesting: machinery business In Kan sas. The International bought these six companies and revolutionised the busi ness. The expense of selling has been reduced and dealers Hve been ahle to sell on commission without Investing money In a large stock of machinery and forcing farmers to pay Interest on the investment. The result has been the reduction of prices. The International has established hun dreds of agencies and those are so located that farmers have been able to get their repairs quickly and at less expense than they did under the old system when competition was the rule. The company controls 85 per cent of the business done In the- states. All the witnesses testified to the excel lence of the machinery sold and ex pressed satisfaction with It. The report finds against the com pany on all legal points relative to the violation of the anti-trust laws. TELLS YANKEE TO BE GOOD LOSER Takahira Chides America for Grumbling Over Losses in Japan.

The trouble grew out of the efforts of the so-called wrecking gang." said to be maintained by "Skinny" Madden, the labor leader recently rined J&00 ror extortion, to force the reelection of President F. A. Pouchot. Pouchot was one of those found guilty snd fined with Madden for get ting money from business men under threats of calling a strike. Tim election was held at the metal workers' headquarters. Early in the afternoon the tactics of Pouchot's friends, It is said, started trouble and riot call was sent to police head quarters. This evening the police went to the hall on a second call, when two of the voters were engaged in a knife fight. The friends of the men involved hid them and the police were unable to make any arrests. Balloting continued in spite of the al most continual disturbances. Shortly before midnight, a third riot call came to headquarters and Patrol men William Russell and Thomas Stap- leton entered tne nail. Death-dealing- rirat Fire. George Kelley, said to be one of Pou chot's men, ran out of the hall and the two policemen followed him Into a neighboring saloon.

The antl-Madden men say that Mad den was there in person directing a gang of 150 of his. "wreckers," and hey reared that the ballots would be stolen if it were found that the elec tion had gone against Pouchot. Drank and Then Shot. A riot started which seven detec tives in the room were unable to quell. Later when things quieted down the po lice started to. arrest the leaders, and several of the latter left the room. Kel ley was one of these and Kussell and Stapleton followed him. Witnesses say that Kelley and Russell drf.nk to gether and then the policeman began to search Kelley for weapons.

STILL NO TIDINGS OF THE GRAYLING (Hearat News by Longest Leased Wire. San Francisco, June 12. Although the little steamer Grayling left Victoria May 27 for this city on the way to Pan ama and was expected to arrive here over a week ago. her present where abouts is unknown, and there is anx iety for her safety. The last seen of the Grayling, so fsr as has been reported, was when she was sighted off Cape Blanco manv days ago by the American-Hawaiian steamer Mexican, bound from this city to Se attle. The Grayling has had plenty of time to reach San Francisco, but noth ing has been seen of her. There Is a glowing belief that she has been wrecked somewhere along the coast. This view Is given some foundation In consequence of the report sent back by wireless from the transport Logan a week ego. stating that an unknown rir. llct, bottom up, had been seen alongside the Logan off tills coast. The approximate length of the dere lict was given as 60 feet. The length of the Grayling is 58 feet. The boat left Victoria under com mand of Captain A. A. Moore, who had a crew of only three or four men. There is scarcely -anv doubt that Cap tain Moore will put Into this port If the Grayling is still under his commsnd. There is still less doubt about what the customs officers will do If the boat ar rives, for since a warning has come from officials t Victoria concerning suspicions against the Grayling at a possible opium smuggler, the Ban Fran cisco officials will keep a strict watch for tha vessel. With Mathewson, Wl I tse 1 and Ray mond pitching; wlnnlnr ball, the Giant should be able to give Chicago and Pltta- Durg lime excitement. , LINERS IKE HEW RESCUE RECORD Thrilling Feat, With Two Vessels' Crews Working Lifeboats by Searchlight Wireless Brings Aid From Sea to the Slavonia. (United Tteaa Leased Wire.) Llveipool, June 12, At a late hour tonight a statement was Issued at tho office of the Cynard lir.e giving the best available account of the rescue of the passengers of the Cunard liner, Sla vonia, which stranded, off the reefs on the southern coast of the . isl-invrt of Flores of the Azores group, Tbursday morning. The statement, while still lacking many details, was sent by wire less from the Princess Irene, which, to gether with th steamer Batavta, took the passengers off the wrecked vessel According to the official statement of the Cunard line officials the Princess Irene received the distress signal by wireless frotii the Slavonia about noon on Thursday after the doomed liner had been stranded on the rocks for several hours. No time was lost in leaving for the Slavonia, but since the distance be tween the vessels was about 180 miles the wreck was not reached until about 10 o'clock Thursday night. On account of the late hour on which the Irene reached the scene of the wreck It was deemed imprudent to at tempt to take off the passengers in any way other than in the lifeboats. According to the officials, the Princess Irene was never close nough to the Slavonia to even get a glimpse of her hull through the darkness and the transfer of the Slavonia's first class fiassengers was made entirely by llfe loats, which crossed a wide stretch of t water between the vessels, lighted only by the searchlights of the Irene and Batavla. The Inst word from the Princess Irene, the Cunard officials say, is to the effect that after rescuing all of the first class passengers she departed for Gibraltar. The departure, it Is said, took place before daylight, In which case the Irene completed the work of rescue in the darkness and sailed away from the sight of the wreck without even getting a glimpse of the Slavonia. This la re garded as a feat that will set a new mark in the history of perilous rescues on the high seas. It is stated at the Cunard offices that there Is not the slightest doubt that every sii' en board the Slavonia was saved, including the steerage passen gers, who were taken off on the Ua tavia. No denial is made that the Slavonia is a total wreck. THREE DROWNED Hi NORM FORK (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Killspell, Mont. Juno 12.
