prise on the waterfront. The rres
ence of competition, will result, it Is
believed. In tne port being given the
best service It haa ever had.
Plummer's announcement this morn
ing" waa very much to the point. His
company Las no tariff, he says. It
will take ships at what It can
them for, but It does not expect to
hava to cut rates. It will take ves
sels for the round trip from the sea
to Portland and return. It will later
introduce a pilot service of its own.
A . towboat already here will bo used

Kept curing the heavy season nd
curing tn summer when there Is lit
tie sailing tonnage coming thiB way
but one will be retained, the others
going to Alaska.
1 "In' this way we can get the greatest
efficiency for the loweat possible
cost." said Mr. Plummer;
, "There are en route to this port In
the neighborhood of 60 sailing vessels,
the greatest amount of sailing tonnage
that I have ever seeft bound for this
river. We expect to get a share of it.
"I have a set of pilots under con
sideration whose names I am not at
liberty to give out at present, but by
the end of the week all my arrange
ments will have been completed."
ISTHMIAN IS UADLY DAMAGED
American-Hawaiian Liner Towed
Into San Diego.
San Diego, Cal., Dec. 21. Eighteen
feet down at the head, her stem twist
ed, 24 feet of water in the fore peak
and a gaping hole in the forward part
of No. 1 hold, the American-Hawaiian
freighter Isthmian, which struck a
submerged rock at the northern end of
Ban Benito Island at 4:15 o'clock Frl-
aay morning, was towed Into port' at 6
O'clock Saturday nltrhf bv h nri
Bahada.
Misfortune, which attended the Isth
mian from the time she steamed from
San Pedro, reached a climax when the
richly laden freighter became impaled
on a submerged rock about 60 yards
from the northern end of San Benito
Island, was again manifested when
the vessel, in entering the harbor.
suddenly lurched, pulling the towlnir
usj v pon u n in waier ruined into the
cabin windows. Only the action of the
Bahada's skipper m grabbing an ax
and cutting the towing hawser pre
vented the craft from foundering by
the sudden broaching of the Isthmian.
Acting under orders, Captain F.
Ryer refused to make any statement,
ft Is understood he will be not permit
ted to discuss the accident Until h,e
faces a board of Inquiry conducted by
United States Inspectors of Hulls and
Boilers Uuthrle and Dolan.
Members of the crew, however,
blame the Isthmian's misfortunes to a
black cat which one -of the engineers'
fores brought aboard a few minutes
before the freighter unmoored at San
Pedro. f
The entire cargo probably will e
discharged and the Isthmian : sent to
San Francisco to bo repaired.

President Wilson has decided that
any appeals by the allies to permit
American contractors to manufacture
warships in parts, particularly sub
marines, shall be turned down.
The British foreign office, accord
ing to reports received at Washing
ton, has instructed Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador, to use
"his good offices" to have the Bethle
hem Steel company permitted to con
struct submarines in parts here. This
request will be emphatically rejected.
By the direction of the president
the department has compiled reasons
centering on the Alabama decision
which lost England $15,000,000. The
Confederate cruiser Alabama was
built in England, but it was not out
fitted as a warship there. England
was forced to pay $15,000,000 because
she permitted the Alabama to sail.
In a lengthy decision now on file
with President Wilson it is stated by
Counsellor Lansing of the state de
partment the Alabama case parallels
in every respect the submarine sug
gestion. As far as the submarine
contracts are concerned, Germany", if
aggrieved, could submit her own
claims after the war and this country
would simply have to pay the piper.

San. Francisco, Dec 21. The charge
against Arthur P. Crist, brother of
Police Judge Wiley Crist, and Iiorton
F Phipps, of extorting $100 from Mrs.
Sadie V. Thompson, a money lender,
was dismifHed; today by Police Judge
Deasy. Assistant. District Attorney
William Caubu Joined in the motion .
for dismissal. ; Caubu explained that
the case against Phipps waa dismissed
because he already had been indicted
by the grand Jury and that his case
would go directly to the superior court.
In Crist's case, he said, there was not
sufficient evidence to secure a con
viction. :
Kntitled to Talk.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The conversation at a social session
in Washington the other night turned
to the proficiency of some people in
the matter of making sarcastlo re
marks, and Congressman P. Padgett
of Tennessee waf reminded of an In
cident that t reccrHly happened at a
Chautauqua ' entertainment.
In the audience was a man who In
sisted on talking aloud to the great
annoyance of those about him. More
than one ftoowling look was cast in
bis direction, and finally an esteemed
citizen became indignantly eloquent.
"Look here, young man," he ex
claimed, shaking a finger In the di
rection of the offender, "don't you
know tnat you are annoying everybody
in the house? Can't you stop talking
and let us enjoy the lecture?"
"Oh, I don't know," was the Cool
response of the chirpful party. "1
paid for my ticket, and I don't know
why I'm not entitled to all the priv
ieges that go with it-"
"Let him talk, mister," suddenly In
terposed a smajl boy. "He, works in a
deaf and dumb asylum and this Is his
night off.'"
Spoiled His Chance.
From the Louisville Oourler-Journat
"Why don't you propose to that girl?
Tou like her and I'm sure she would
have 'you."
"All trueA but there Is an Insuper
able obstacle between us."
"All family or religious objections
can be overcome."
Nothing like that. I got a little too
gay when I first met her and told her
I was getting 850 a week, whereas I
am getting only $25."
