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.

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.

"While our trade has been so rapid

harsh complaint because Japan has
started cotton mills and cigarette fac
tories Instead of buying the piece goods
of these products from America But
It must be borne in' mind that we are

from the United States.
"I also hear complaints that because
Japanese merchants have become ener

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.

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.
