As a resuit of the order the acting har bormaster is Issuing a warning to the steamboat companies today to the ef fect that their boats must not exceed eight miles an hour in the harbor. All boats are timed between the steel bridge and the beacon light at the 'J turn beyond the Portland flouring nllls, IS V4 minutes being allowed to make the run,-and while a matter of a' minute less time has always been overlooked by the harbormaster, mere than that will not be ' allowed. Acting Harbor master Grlslm says that now while the Broadway bridge Is being built, the necessity of holding the speed down Is greater than ever as there are a large number of men working In the calaaona below the water and swells from Speeding boats, endanger their Uvea Warrants will be Issued for any steamers . that break the speed laws after the -present warning. Among the greatest offenders, says Grlslm. are the steamers Monarch, Dalles City and J. N. Teal. FIRST OFFICER KILLED J. J.
