on October 18 as reported here, but
it was only for the 45 mile jaunt

There are 11 German barks, accord

Soon after the war opened a British

the German vessels. Their masters
were warned not to venture out of
the safety of the neutral harbor, and
so far none of them have shown the
slightest inclination to tak the
chance.

lumber and salmon in this port for
the United Kingdom. This however,
is in addition to 3000 tons of Euro
pean freight now carried by the vessel
for discharge at Honolulu, and which
but for the European war, would have
been carried in a German bottom.
The European cargo loaded by the
Director in Europe for Honolulu,
forms part of a freight movement to

By driving the German merchant
marine off the sea the war nag had
the effect of turning tne European

SAILOR ASSAULTS CONSUL
K
Attack Made When Wage Demand
Is Refused.
Angered because Endre M. Ceder-
bergh, Norwegian consul here, refused
to give him his wages earned on board
the Norwegian ship Karmo. Rod
ney Johnson, a Bailor, went to the
consulate yesterday afternoon and as
saulted the official. When his de
mands for money were refused John
son is said to have struck Cederbergh
in the mouth inflicting a cut which
required several stitches to close.
Johnson with 12 other sailors from
the Karmo quit the ship last week as
serting that they would be in danger
of either their lives or freedom should
they attempt to go to the United King
dom in the ship. Their contracts, they
say, allow them to ask and be granted
a discharge should war break out. The
consul ruled otherwise and the case
was taken to the United States district
court for settlement. The Karmo is
loading wheat at North Bank dock.
Johnson was arrested and will be
tried on a charge of assault and bat
tery Monday before Municipal Judge
Stevenson.

RISK CAPTURE
German Captain May Join Interned
Colony Here.
It is a safe wager, say shipping
men. that Captain Marks of the Bel
gian bark Katanga will not take that
vessel out of this port under the char
ter which she holds to the Portland
flouring mills. While the Katanga is
a Belgian, and therefore an allied ves
sel, her master. Captain Marks, is a
full-blooded German, and as such
would be subject to capture and im
prisonment should he- attempt to take
his vessel into London, as her charter
calls for. He will probably Join the
German colony interned here.

10??" .Mrto
Bezdek Would Have More Atliletes
Eugene. Or., Jan. 23. Huso Besdek,
athletic director of the University of
Oregon, believes there should be more
facilities for encouraging athletics at
the University of Oregon. He says:
I "We need more room in order to get
jail the men out, more time for the
! head of ach activity to give to hts
men. Under the ideal system, with
this large a school we should have
another football field. Then the in
terclass games could bo prepared for.
The football coach would have noth
ing else than football to handle i and
he would divide his time between the
two fIelds AU cUtB9 team would
h4vt t0 praetice from four t0 Blx
weeks before any games could be
olayed. Then there would be no need
for freshmen on the varsity. A fresh
man would have to be a wonderful
man Indeed to beat out the products
of such a training system of one, two,
three or four years. But there would
have to be some sort of permanency In
the coaching.
'Because it would not b$ fair to my
self nor to the University of Oregon I
did not accept the offer I had this
fall to go back to Arkansaw as head
of the department of athletics. I be-
-ed that I should give my system of
building up teams, not for one season
but for the next succeednig three sea
sons, a chance. The present head of
the University of Arkansaw is a per
sonal friend of mine and the tempta
tion was "great to return.
"But to do Justice there must be
more equipment here. The Inter-fraternity
basketball series have to run
off rapidly because there Is only one
floor, and that a small one. and there
should be at least three. Oregon has
no baseball diamond.
"There Is a crying need for an ath
letic field here and I understand that
as soon as the money Is available a
new field will be provided.
"The man who says we are special
izing in a few men in the outdoor ac
tivities has .not investigated. Out of
a registration of about 850 men here
there are 265 accounted for in the out
door sports, football, basketball, track,
soccer and baseball. Some of these
are repeaters, that is, men who are In
more than one activity. And under
during most of the summer. She' ar
rived there some time before the war
had been declared, and not until the
German fleet was wiped off the South
Pacific did her owners consent to her
leaving the safety of a neutral har
bor. It is said that 48 hours after
Lloyd's had chronicled the extermina
tion of the German cruiser uresaen,
the last of Admiral von Spee's fleet,
the Katanga had received word by
cable and was en route to Portland.
She is now 27 days out and should be
showing up at any time.
INSPECTORS ARE VERY BUSY
Investigations of Various .Marine
Mishaps Occupy Officials.
Los Aneelee. Cal.. Jan. 23. Local
steambdat inspectors hav,e been busy
for the last few weeks investigating
numerous accidents to steamers here.
This morning Captains Ansell and
Lehners began the investigation of the
accident to the steamer Montanan
when she ran into the wharf on the
Mormon Island channel. Next Mon
day they will try Captain Thomas
McFarland. captain of the tug Warrior,
which backed into the steamer Ore-
gonian. The investigation of the sec
ond accident to the Oregonian. which
grounded in the inner harbor, has not
been concluded. Captain F. H. Ryer,
master of the steamer Isthmian, who
ran aground on San Benito island sev
eral weeks ago, has had his license
suspended for a period of six months
on the ground of unskillfulness and
carelessness In navigating his vessel.
TO SUBMERGE PIPE TODAY
Greatest Depth Necessary
Is 60
Feet.
Under the direction of Captain H. T.
Groves, superintendent of dredging for
the Port of Portland, the 1500 feet of
pipe necessary to carry the pumplngs
from the dredger Columbia to the new.
sea wall at Astoria will be submerged
today. Southeast winds are promised
bv the weather man for today, and
with this breeze available it is believed
it will be possible to sink the pon
toons and pipe. The greatest depth
necessary will be 60 feet, and from
that depth up to zero at the wall.
While the necessary details at As
toria are being completed, the dredger
Columbia Is at Tongue Point, attempt
ing to widen the lower end of the
channel. She has had poor success so
far, as the east wind has made it im
possible for her to work, except one
day. She can finish within four days
of steady work.
LARGEST IN ELEVEN YEARS
Wheat Shipments to South Africa
Nearly Million Bushels.
More wheat has been shipped from
Portland to South Africa this season
than at any time since 1902-3, accord
ing to the statement of exports kept
at the Merchants' Exchange. In that
year over 2,000,000 bushels of the ce
real were shipped from this port to
Cape Town and other South African
ports, while close to 1,000,000 bushels
have already left this port this season.
The British ship Clackmannanshire,
carrying wheat for Cape Town, Is -to
leave down in tow of the steamer F,
B. Jones today. En route she will stop
at the Pltcalrn Islands, where Captain
Kerbyson will distribute a shipment of
stores for the islanders contributed by
charitably inclined Portlanders.
HALL IS BACK IN PORT
Schooner Has Uneventful Trip Up
From Mexican West Coast.
With the distinction of having land
ed in Mexico the largest straight lum
ber cargo ever left in a Mexican West
coast port the American schooner H.
K. Hall, Captain Dan Killman is back
in port. The Hall took 1,606,000 leet

Rosalia, arriving there November 28
The American schooner Geo. E. Bill

man, held the previous record witn

while she was bound up the coast in
ballast, the Hall had an uneventful

Breakwater Leaves Out.
Marshfield, Or., Jan. 23. The steam

The Russian ship Finland, which Is
