"PORTLAND CHAM. OF COM. Telegrams went from the Chamber of Commerce to Senator Chambeclaln last night saying that if the engineers of the war department are correctly quoted In a position opposed to rec ommending an additional dredger un til the Chinook has further proved her self, they thereby disregard the sup plemental report and recommendation of Major James F.

CHAMBER OF COM- EASTERN WASHINGTON CITIES FAVOR DREDGE OFFICER CHARGED WITH DEFACING BUILDING Valdemar Lldell, Swedish vice-con sul, was appointed administrator the estate of Lena Kassraan, who died in the Multnomah hospital recently, leaving an estate valued at 5000, by Circuit Judge Cleeton this morning. Judge Cleeton made the appointment because he felt that it would be best. as Lldell would not represent any par ticular claimants. Attorney James Walton Jr., representing the state, read a letter from A. F. Salmson, of Ridgefield, Wash., who contends he is a nephew-of Mrs. Kassman, in whica Salmson made a claim to heirship in another estate in wbici the heirs wer unknown. In addition to the petition of Lldell and the claim of Salmson, the county commissioners had asked that S. H. Pierce be appointed administrator. The; county has a claim for care given the dead woman Just before her death. John M. Wise, a member of the Portland police force, ' was to appear before District Judge Dayton this aft ernoon to answer a charge of trai liciously defacing a building at 93 M North Fourth street when he, with six other policemen, cut through plaster and lathing to gain entrance into an alleged Chinese gambling joint. Tiie other six are complained against but their names are- not given. . Wise assumed the blame and said if neces sary be would produce the others. The complaint was signed by Jung Chung as complaining-witness. The Chinese Drotest they were ouietlv eatine- a X meal when the raid waa made. Pledge of support to Portland in the effort to secure an appropriation for a new $1,500,000 dredge for work? at the mouth of the Columbia were received by the Chamber of Commerce today from the Ellensburg and Spokane chambers. Washington's representa tives in congress have been appealed to by these chambers to help secure the appropriation. Through the assistance of- Captain Robert Douar, Senator Perkins of Call fornia, who is a member of the com mittee on commerce, has promised his support. In a letter to Captain Dol lar, the senator says: "I shall be glad to give this bill my favorable consideration when it comes before the senate for action, as I am in hearty sympathy with . any measure having in view the upbuilding of the commerce of the pacific coast, ana anything tending to lessen the dangers of navigation." Among the firms endeavoring to se cure the assistance of their business connections In the east are the Cros sett Lumber company of Wauna, the Consolidated Lumber company of Carl ton, A. O. Long, J. A. Freeman & Sons and Wadhams & Kerr Brothers of this city. Other. Portland firms are also writing for every possible assistance of firms In the east and the middle west with which they are doing busi ness. To aid Joseph N. Teal and A. H. Averlll of the Portland chamber, who are now in Washington working for the passage of the appropriation bill, the chamber has been sending many telegraphic messages giving informa tion for use at hearings. The whole staff ofthe chamber is gathering this data. A dispatch sent out from Portland ! by the Associated Press and published in the Los Angeles Times to the effect that the schools ot Portland had been closed to prevent the spread of small pox, has been made the subject of an inquiry by Miss S. Surridge of Mayor Albee. Miss Surridge writing from Los Angeles calls upon the mayor for the true facts inasmuch as the Associated Press report waa obviously false. Dr. M. B. Marcellus. city health officer, has been directed by the mayor to re ply to the Los Angeles woman's letter. The dispatch' in question reads: "Scourge la Portland Schools. "Portland, Or., Feb. 4. (By A. P. Night Wire) The board' of health ordered all schools closed today for an indefinite period as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of smallpox. Thirteen thousand pupils are affected." Dr. Marcellus reply to Miss Sur ridge is to the effect that the Asso ciated Press report was both false-and Incorrect and that Portland had only 12 cases of smallpox during the past month. He stated that perhaps the dispatch referred to St. Johns, which had a number of cases of smallpox last month and where the schools have 1300 pupils. He further Informed Miss Surridge, that .the Portland schools number 30,000 students and not 13,000 as stated. (Special to The Journal.)
