Portland's exports during the month
ef December were over $600,000 In ex
cess of the same period last year, ac
cording to' figures prepared today. The
enormous snipments or wneat maae

price obtained for this cereal caused
the Increase. a
Exports for the calendar year to
talled $14,864,705, a trifle less than
during 1913. However, 1913 was a
much earlier shipping year than has
1914 proven and much more grain will
be moved during the early months of
1915 than did during the early part
ef 1914. I
Despite this handicap the Wheat ex

ALL, ALONG TIIE WATERFRONT
All hands and the pilot had to turn

anchor of the Norwegian ship Hero
when she was placed in the stream by
the Shaver steamer Cascades. The crew
of the Hero were ashore pending the
Settling of differences between them
selves and the ship's master.

A run from San Francisco to Port

steamer Willamette, which arrived in

It was Just a year ago that the
steamer Bear left- Portland for San

SCURVY WHILE UPON
iL
Two Victims of Disease Are
Now Confined to Cots in
Emergency Hospital, "
Echoes of the olden days of the
merchant marine when all ships were
windjammers and scurvy was the
commonest disease known to sea
faring men, came to Portland Sunday
when the British bark Port Caledonia
reached this port.
Slocum. one of the crew, who is a
well educated young Englishman, and
Otto Kulando are in the city emerg
ency hospital at police headquarters,
flat on their back with the disease,
and two others are sick on board the
ship, while others are said to show
traces of the disease.
The Port Caledonia left Port Tal
bot. England, March 26 with a cargo
of fuel for Iquique, on the west coast
of Chile. Food ran short and long
before the vessel reached her first
port the men had nothing but salt
pork or "salt horse," with a few po
tatoes and bread. The supply of lime
juice running out, however, caused
the seamen to become ill.
For five weeks ' the vessel beat off
Cape Horn, beset by head winds. The
gale was so severe that there were no
fires for the cooking of the food and
the salt meat had to be eaten raw.
There was snow and ice in the galley.
On the day that war was declared
between England and Germany, Au
gust 4, the ship hove into the South
American port, and of the 29 seamen.
all but five deserted. Slocum and
Kulando were two of those who re
mained for the trip to Portland.
The vessel left for Portland in bal
last and head winds kept the ship be
hind time so much that the last of
the salt meat, the only food left, was
consumed the same day that the Se
attle tug picked the ship' up off the
mouth of the Columbia river. The
vessel reached the river Christmas
day, but Slocum', was sick for three
weeks before that.
The feet of the two men are so
badly swollen that they cannot walk,
and it is doubtful if they will be able
to leave with the ship when she de
parts with her grain cargo.
On the voyage up the west coast,
Slocum said, the salt meat diet was
so persistent that the American cook
was made very ill one day, when Cap
tain Carlson gave him some pineapple
from his private supply to eat.
Sent to Jail for Sixty Days.
William Emmett, a shoemaker, aged
28, and Albert Conner, a laborer, aged
31, were each given 60 days in jail
this morning in the municipal court
on a charge of. vagrancy. The two
were arrested last night by Harbor
Patrolmen Todd and Powell, who saw
them climbing from the window of
Kadderly & Co.'b store at Front and
Alder streets. A plate glass window
was broken but the part entered by
the two men was separate from the
rest of the building, and there was
nothing In it which they could carry
off.
Death of Miss Webber.
After an Illness extending over the
past two yeWs, Miss Lulu May Web
ber, daughter of the lata Joseph K.
and Mrs. Anna Webber, died at her
home at the Chetopa Apartments, yes
terday. The funeral will be held at

FEDERAL CONTROL OF
STOCK EXCHANGES IS
PLEA OF UNTERMYER
Regulation Is Necessary for
Good of Country at Large
He Tells Economists.
(United Frees Lead Wire.)
Prlribeton. N. J., Dec. 31. Immedi
ate action to place the country's stock
exchanges under government regula
tion was urged here by Samuel
Untermyer, formerly attorney for the
congressional "money trust" investi
gating committee. Speaking before
the American Economic association,
Untermyer probed deep into the work
ings of the stock exchanges, bitterly
scoring such of their members who
are fighting government regulation.
Before launching into his plea for
a change in' existing conditions, Unter
myer declared he wanted it under
stood that he was not opposed to the
exchange as an Institution.
"I have no patience with the legis
lators, agitators, demagogues and
ignoramuses throughout the country
who regard the exchange as a sort of
JLmbling den or its membership- a
coterie of gamblers whose activities
should be suppressed." he declared.
Ixohange a XTeoeaalty.
"Tha exchange is a wholesome pub
lic necessity. We could no more get
along without it than we could with
out banks."
Talking of the exchange members
attitude in regard to their operations,
he said:
'Their state of mind is not unliko
that which has taken possession of
officers and directors of railroad cor
porations as to their duties and obli
gations to the public and to tlieir
shareholders, until a very recent time
and from which now they are slowly
and painfully recovering. The same
sort of awakening Is in store for the
stock exchange members, but they
will not see it."
Untermyer scored tha governing
body of the exchange for remaining
open for two days last July after the
exchanges in other countries had
closed on account of the war. He
added, however, that they handled the
situation well, considering their dif
ficulties. Close to Great Disaster.
"If these gentlemen had chosen to
permit dealings to continue after July
30, as many of them were desirous of
doing, and as they were said to have
decided to do tha night hefore, there
would have been no public authority
anywhere to restrain them," he de
clared. "They probably would have
bankrupted the banks, life insurance
companies and other public institu
tions. Fortunately for us, these par
ticular men, at this particular .junc
ture, had the enlightened selfishness
to realize that la the tottering mar
kets which they would have encoun
tered the following day, if tho ex
change had been opened, the margins
on their pledged collateral with the
banks would have been exhausted and
they would have bankrupted them
selves. "If the banks and brokera had been
comparatively free of stocks and with
plenty of cheap 'easy in hand and a
band of rich, reckless "speculators had
been In control, as has happened and
may happen again, imagine what a
catastrophe ' could have been precipi
tated upon us with the cheerful, ever
ready aid of the 'short sellers.'
Ho Xiegal Control.
-1 do not mean to imply that any
such brutal thing would have been
done, although we have had some un
fortunate experiences of that kind -on
a smaller Bcate ar. times. 1 no iact
that it would have been possible and
that there is no authority in any pub
lic officer to control euch a situation
is the point I want to make in this
connection. The necessity for regula
tion Is not to be tested by what was
done but by what jnay be lawfully
done under existing laws without fear
or opportunity of discovery or punish
ment under given conditions ana in.
the absence of regulative and restrict
ive laws."
Untermyer compared the United
States' method of handling the stock
exchanges to that of Great Britain,
France. Holland and Germany. In
those countries the government con
trols tha exchange absolutely.
Playing With Marked Cards.
Lack of supervision or control has
been the basis of many illegitimate
fortunes, he said. This also allowed
manipulating." which he scored as
th great "curse" of tha exchange.
"Manipulation is dishonest specula
tion," h declared. "It is playing with
marked cards." Bogus purchases and
sales to create a false impression of
activity, he declared, was the princi
pal form of manipulation. The post
master general should be delegated
the duty of probing tor manipulations.
Untermyer asserted. Tha quotations,
he declared, are circulated through
tha mails and if ihey are fraudulent.
the originators should be punished as
are any other violators of the postal
laws.
