the "leaders" who are In charge at tha
committee headquarters will bend their
efforts o beating "for -the nomination
all Repdblicans who have not been nom
inated by the conventions. This Is be
ing done on the theory, often expressed
by the outspoken ones, that any candi
date who did not come into the conven
tion was not a Republican, and there
fore not entitled to Republican sup
port. After the primaries, the convention
committeemen, having whetted their ap
petites by . putting all antl-conventlon
Republicans down and out, plan to roll
up their sleeves and poke big holes In
all Democratic candidates ? who may
Show their heads above the horiaon.

EW YORK. May 20, 1910. Dear
Winifred Black I made a dress
for a woman six weeks ago.
It didn't fit her and she made
me take it hame and fix It over.
Then, when I took it home, she said It
still didn't fit, and'she called in an
other woman and paid her $2.60 off the
$10 she was to have paid me for mak
ing the dress. EThe's doing it Just be

to make her pay me. What shall I do
about it? ; A. DRESSMAKER, s

about It Perhaps the yroman Is wrong,
but Isn't there a chance that she has her
side of the story too? She can't be sucil
a very rich woman or she would hire a
more expensive dressmaker. How do
you know how much money she has?
She may have Just as bad a time trying
to make money enough to pay you for
your work as you have to make money
enough to take care of yourself. ' Evl7

and sho did have ' to get' some one else

A DELICIOUS way of serving grape

halves, then to cut and loosen the
sections separately so that they can.be
easily taken up With the spoon. Place
peeled half, sections of oranges and pine
apple, cut in the Bame shape, and ar
range alternately in a star upon each
half. In the center,' place two maras

the fruit and serve" in champagne or

FREE BIG SHIP
STUCK IN RIVER
(Continued from Page One.)
struck, a part, of the old draw pier and
now remains on it hard and fast. The
Riverdaie was laden with 2,050,000 feet
of lumber for Tslngtau, China, and was
being backed .down stream from the
Portland mills to , the lower harbor
preparatory to Ipaving down for the sea
It Is expected that a. large part of her
even-LdnPk load win t h r,mi h.
fore'she can be floated,
; The steamer Riverdaie was in charge
of Pilot .Anderson ' at thp time ' she
struck the submerged pier, and he made
strenuous efforts to get her off, both
the Ocklahama and the Henderson ex
erting all of their power In giving her
assistance. It was soon seen, however,
that she was well lodged, and Captain
Albert Crowe, who was aboard the ves
sel, took - charge as representative . of
the marine underwriters. v t
Shortly after the Riverdaie struck,
Fred ds Rock,-a diver, wasrsent down.
After , an investigation he found that
she had settled on some cribbing and
masonry, the remainder : of the draw
pier of tho old ! Madison street bridge,
which was supposed to have been' taken
down even with the river bedv At the
time De Rock went down It was too
late' to', make a 'very: careful Investi
gation,, but It was expected that- he
would dive again today to ascertain,
If possible, t whether - any of -the plates
on the. bottom of the steamer had been
damaged. In case there are any, it
will probably .be necessary to place'her
on the" drydoclc
:, t Drew - Feet. 1 '
The Blverdale; before she struck the
pier, was drawing 23 M feet aft and
she . is now ; drawing 22 7-10, showing
that she was raised nearly a foot when
she went on the pier. Soundings made
by Harbormaster .Kpeier showed a depth
of approximately 80 feet In the: neigh
borhood of ; the vessel, i which shows
that .the obstruction rises 1 about ten
feet above the bed of the. river, which
was also confirmed by the diver.
- Captain Crowe, . , who, with Captain
Hay, master of the Vessel, Is ovef seeing
the work, of getting her off,' said this
morning that it would probably be to
morrow before , the,' vessel ? would be
floated - again, although If things are
favorable'it Is possible that she msy be
off tonight. He said that it would, be
necessary to lighter a part of her deck
load in order to lessen, herv draft - so
that she may be pulled off the pier.
Her deck load consists of about 700,000
feet of .lumber," and that part forward
will be lightered on barges and into
the stream first, as it is "thought pos
sible that In this manner the weight
coming aft may tip her to such an ex
tent that she will float off.
Arrange Derricks.
Derricks and other apparatus ' for
handling the lumber were arranged this
morning and the lighters and booms
will be-placed In the west channel -between
the vessel and the, pier of the
new Madison street bridge so that sldo
will, be closed to river traffic until ths
steamer is floated again. The east sltfe
of the channel, ' however, will remain
open and it Is believed that It ,1s large
enough to allow the 'passage of any
sited vessel that may want to go
through to the mills above.
Considerable criticism of the bridge
contractors is heard this morning in
shipping circles, as this is not the first
steamer that has been detained by the
obstruction the , channel. During
the freshet Inot November the Norwe
Heady Kexl Satnrday
aMSsMMI lefMew Store:
CM
gian steamer Christian Michelsen was
held at the Portland mills for IS days
because of the fact that the water cov
ered the pier which was then only
partly removed. ' .--. . -'-- ' '
The work of removing the old Madi
son street pier upon which the River
dale U lodged was done by the Robert
Wakefield, contracting firm," under the
supervision of Waddell & Harrington,
consulting engineers, who are building
the new bridge. It is claimed by the
latter c6mpany that the pier was blast
ea orr a surriclent amount to allow a
free passage up and down the channel'.
;"r';.;1to Inspectloa Made. "
It is further contended ' that the gov
ernment . engineers were ' supposed to
make an Inspection, -when the blasting
was completed several weeks ago, but
no Inspection has ever been made. No
trouble has ever been experienced by
river boats with the submerged . pier,
and the contractors hold the low water
to be the cause of the accident
It is the opinion Of the city attor
ney that the city is relieved f rorjj all
responsibility in thamatter, as the con
tractors agreed to remove the piers in
such, shape as to make the stream ab
solutely safe for navigation.
Another steamer which met with a
mishap yesterday was the San Fran
cisco and Portland steamship Beaver,
which ran ashore yesterday morning on
the sand flats opposite Desdemona
sands. . It Is still ashore and bids fair
to remain in her present position until
the greater portion of her cargo has
been lightered. Last evening, the pas
sengers were taken off by the' steamer
T, J. Potter and during the night about
60 tons of freight consigned to Astoria
merchants were taken out of the bow
of the vessel and barged to Astoria.
Collision Warrowly Averted. , ' , '
While this raised the bow slightly it
was not sufficient to do much good and
the bar tugs Oneonta and Wallula were
unable to move the Beaver at high' wa
ter this " morning. ; , : 4
Today the. Shaver Transportation
company's two tow boats M. F. Hender
son and Sarah DiXon were sent down
to help take off the freight and this
afternoon the tugs Oneonta and Samp
son will make an effort to pull her off
again at high tide. It is not thought,
however, that they will be able to float
her Into deep water until practically all
of ,her 1600 tons of freight has been
lightered up. . ;.;. '
The .Beaver went aground yesterday
morning at a little after 4 o'clock, while
on her trip in over the bar. A dense
fog came up and the Beaver Just before
going on the sands narrowly missed
striking .the British tramp steamer St
Nicholas, which had come to anchor a
few moments before because of the fog.
Officers of the latter vessel say that-It
was the narrowest escape from a col
lision that they had ever had and that
when the .Beaver sheared t off those
aboard the St. Nicholas could , almost
have Jumped aboard the big passenger
cteamer. In fact Captain Aitken of the
tramp gave orders to stand by and slack
the cable. .
It is supposed that in shearing away
from the freight steamer the helm of
the Beaver was thrown over too hard
and before aha could recover she was
aground. , , '
