plication will be made by the western
railroads - to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, for a rehearing of the
Iwestern rate case, which was virtually
decided against them in the findings
handed down by the commission last
Week, it was said today. The 41 car
riers concerned in the rate case, it was
asserted, agreed on mis course within
the last few days.
-, The request for a rehearing was
based on the ground that the com
mission misstated the facts in its de
cision. It was suggested that this
ground was sufficient as a basis for
application to the commission, but that
it-was not sufficient reason for taking
the case into the courts, as no question
of, law or charge of confiscation was
involved.

TWO OFFICERS OF
U. S. ARMY DRINK
GERMAN TOASTS
(Continued From Page One)
declared Senator Chamberlain when
the incident was related to him.
"In his statement Shepherd relates
that the two officers in the uniform
of the United States army sat at a
table in company with a Dr. Woerner
of Astoria and formerly of Portland.
Dr. Woerner, it was said, proposed the
toasts and Shepherd states that the
toasts were drunk heartily with-much
noise and much consumption of beer.
Dr. Hastman of Astoria and Max
Pudlrch. a fish buyer, were also said
to be in the party.
W. P. LaRoche, city attorney of
Portland,, and Captain Jacob Speier,
harbor master of Portland, were wit
nesses to the act, but were unable to
sign the letter as they did not dis
tinctly hear the words.
The Portland men and other wit
nesses who heard the toast were in
dignant. A toast to ifny foreign na
tion, engaged in war by an officer
wearing the uniform of the United
States was declared improper, and
Shepherd, in his statement to Senator
Chamberlain, said it seemed doubly
wrong in view of the president's re
cent note to the people of this country
urging the strictest neutrality.
"How can our people be expected to
maintain an attitude of neutrality if
the officers of the United States army
wearing the uniform of the United
States drink toasts of this kind in pub
lic places?" he asked.
Doesn't Recall Incident.
Astoria. Or., August 21. Upon being
interviewed this morning relative to
the charge that he was one of two U. S.
army officers who drank toasts to Ger
man success. Captain Waldron stated
that he did not remember the incident.
He says he does not understand the
I German language and would not ba
guilty of any breach of neutrality It
he knew It.
Officers Well Known.
Washington, Aug., 21. (I. ff. S.)
Captain Leonard T. Waldron and Lieu
tenant Harold L. Gardiner, accused by
an attorney of Portland, Or., of drink
ing a toast in uniform to "Deutschlanl
uber alles" are well known in military
circles. Waldron is a native of Michi
gan, and Gardiner was born in. Rhode
Island.
Not Officially Notified.
Washington, Aug. 21. (U. P.) Act
ing Secretary of War Breckenridge to
day refused to discuss charges from
Portland, Or., that two United States
army officers, in uniform, had drunk
to the toast "Deutsch land uber alles"
in Astoria, Or., last night. He said he
could not take up the matter until
charges are brought to his attention.
He has heard nothing, he said, except
ing through the press.
- In military circles, it was declared
unofficially, that if the charges were
verified the officers involved would
be due for a reprimand or worse.
Charges Not Understood.
Oakland, CaL, Aug. 21. (U. P.)
"I don't know what Miss Strachan is
talking about," said Ella Flagg Young,
past president of the National Educa
tion association, whom Miss Strachan,
it is said, blames for her defeat. "She
was called off by her own advisers,
when she attempted to speak at the
meeting Thursday. I am sorry she
has the feeling, that the association is
intolerant. Does she mean religious
intolerance? Her charges are so inde

COMPLAINS ABOUT THE FERRY
Fjre-Xief ' Says Boat refused to
Return for Apparatus.
Believing that the fery running be
tween St. Johns and Linnton should
carry fire apparatus across the Wil
lamette river when requested by fire
bureau officials, Fire Chief Dowell
has sent a letter to the county com
missioners calling their attention to
the treatment his bureau members re
ceived at the hands of the operators
of the ferry at St. Johns.
The letter is the result of actions of
operators of the ferry several days
ago, when an alarm was sent in 'from
Linnton and the St. Johns fire appar
atus responded to the blaze. Accord
ing to the chief the ferry boat was out
in the stream a short distance from
the St. Johns ferry slip when the fire
apparatus reached the approach. The
whistle was blown for the ferry to re
turn and take the apparatus across the
river to the fire but Chief Dowell
says that the operators ignored the
signals.
NO MORE PERMITS FOR FIRES
Dryness of Vegetation Causes Chief
to Issue Order.
Owing to the large number of recent
grass and brush fires and the dryness
of vegetation no permits are to be
issued by the fire bureau for the burn
ing, of rubbish or debris. This order
was sent out today by Fire Chief Dow
ell and will remain in effect Indefinite
ly. Up to this time the captains of the
various fire stations have been issuing
permits for bonfire on request. Sev
eral grass fires have had their start
from sparks from bbnfires and in sev
eral . instances haveJ endangered build
ings. With the dryness of vegetation these
grass fires starting are difficult to
extinguish, as they burn rapidly and I
spread over large areas in a short !
time. Last summer grass fires re
sulted in the destruction of several
dwellings.
HOPE THAT "JINX" HAS LEFT
Third Fire Truck City Tried to
Purchase, Arrives Here.
With the arrival of a city serviie
fire truck from the east this morning.
city officials hope that the "jinx'' !
which has hovered over the fire truck
which the city has tried to purchase i
from the Seagrave Fire Apparatus j
company has been removed.
This is the third truck the company
has sent. The first truck was smashed
in a railroad wreck in the east and
the second truck was wrecked in a
collision with a Btreetcar several
months ago at East Twenty-eighth and
East Ankeny streets.
The truck which arrived this morn
ing is a duplicate of the other two
trucks. It is being unloaded from the
train today.

Despite the sharp rivalry, the racing

follow the races all over the country,
were somewhat disappointed. They

purses. Today's prize money altogeth
er totals only $3500.

terday's crowd, after hearing the offi
cially announced figures and adding a
large pinch of salt, was by no means a

Not Responsible for Mrs,

Although she accused a neighbor
woman of administering a drug that
caused her death, Mrs. Mary Toporo
wich of 987 Maryland avenue, died
from the effects of acute blood poison
ing at St. Vincent's hospital last night.

New York, Aug. 21. (U. P.) Five

rived here today and passengers of
the line told of the warships hover
ing near the vessel as they steamed
over practically the same course the
Arabic was following when she was
torpedoed and sunk.
Leaving Liverpool, the flagpole "at
the mouth of the Mersey showed the
Mack ball signal that submarines were
in the vicinity, passengers said. The
Cymric sailed at- 2 p. m. on August
11, and had 189 passengers aboard.
With the sighting of the black ball,
lifeboats were swung out, ready for

VON BERNSTORFF IS
OPTIMISTIC AFTER HE
HEARS FROM BERLIN
German Ambassador More at
Ease Than He Has Been
Since Arabic Was Lost,
HINT ARABIC WAS WARNED
Attache of German Embassy Suggests
That Tessel Was Warneu xo Halt by
Submarine Before She Was Sunk.
New York, Aug. 21. (I. N. S-)
Count Jobann Von Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, is more at ease
now than at any time since that it
became known that the White' Star
liner Arabic had been torpedoed by a
German submarine with a possible loss
of American lives. He said so at the
Ritas Carlton hotel last night.
Since the sinking became known the
Sayville wireless station has been kept
busy transmitting messages from the
German embassy to the Berlin foreign
office.
The reply to these messages was
evidently satisfactory, because Von
Bernstorff said that he did not expect
any serious complications to arise out
of the torpedoing.
Says Arabic Was Warned.
An attache of the German embassy
went further. Without disclosing his
source of information, he asserted that
the Arabic had been warned by the Ger
man submarine commander before it
was sunk, and that the shot was fired
only after the captain of the White
Star liner had made a desperate effort
to escape from the German submarine
craft'.
From persons close to Vcn Bern
storff it was learned that the ambas
sador firmly believes that his sug
gestion relative to a modification of
Germany's submarine warfare where
Americans may be involved made
some time ago to the German admir
alty, has not been rejected. He thinks
that if American lives have been lost
through torpedoing the Arabic it was
not the fault of the submarine com
mander. Captain Boy-Ed Calls.
6ne of the ambassador's callers was
Captain Boy-Ed, the naval attache of
the German embassy.
While Captain Boy-Ed refused to
be quoted, he made no secret of his
optimism regarding the German-American
situation. He does not regard it
as serious. As a practical navy man,
thoroughly familiar with the methods
employed in the German navy, he said
he was convinced that the German
submarine commander responsible for
the sinking of the Arabic did not ex
ceed his authority under the instruc
tions issued 'by the German admiralty
when the deadly shot was tired against
the hull of the British passenger ship.
Missing Passengers Located.
Washington, Aug. 21. (U. P.) Am
bassador Page today informed the
state department that Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Burgess and J. Keilett, American
passengers on. the Arabic, have been
accounted for. The ambassador's
cable was based upon information fur
nished him by Consul Frost at Queens
town. This leaves but two Americans miss
ing, as previously reported. Some con
fusion was caused by a report from
Frost yesterday that Mr. and Mrs.
Burgess and Kellett were not account
ed for.
Find Mrs. Bruguiere's Body.
New York, Aug. 21. (I. N. S.)
Word was received here today from
Mrs. Marion Bruguiere stating that the
body of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Joseph
ine Bruguiere of San Francisco, who
lost her life on the Arabic, had been
recovered. The. body of Mrs. Bru
guiere's maid was also recovered. ,

A Crawfish Feed
Eugene, Or., Aug. 21. Fifty gallons
of crawfish were caught by a commit
tee from the Eugene lodge of Elks in
Wildcat creek, a tributary of. the SIus

lamette Pacific train at 7:20 o'clock
yesterday mofning and arrived at the
mouth of the Wildcat an hour and a
half later. They immediately set forth

train for heme, they had caught
enough to feed 200 or 300 hungry Elks.
The fish were cooked on the banks of
the creek and packed in ice for ship,
ment to Eugene and for storage until
the day of the jinks. It is said that
the Wildcat is one of the best streams
in the state for crawfish, and they may
soon be caught for commercial pur
poses. The members of the party were: L.

etery he was then without orders.
Cantrell said that at 6:18 Ortschild
had called him again at Cemetery sta
tion, saying he would be ready to start
in five minutes, and Cantrell did not
release him. A few minutes later Orts

"I overlooked the transfer engine."

ing to overlook the transfer engine on.
Where are you 7"

a mile east from Riverdale."
Cantrell asked: "What are you
doing there?"
Ortschild answered: "We started for
Oswego."
"How bad are you off-? Cantrell
said he asked.
"We have got to have the wrecker;
one engine is off," he said Ortschild
responded.
he had the right of way, but Cantrelfl
told him he did not, according to the
witness.

Heavy Coat of Ashes and
Thick Smoke Settles,

Strong xrortherly Wind Xs Blowing;
Squads of Men Are Fighting
nuui,
Bellingham, Wash., Aug. 21. (U. P.)
Showers of ashes continued to pour
onto this city today from the raging
fires which have converted the forests
of Whatcom county into a furnace.
The city is under a heavy coat of
ashes now, and" a smoke pall has set
tled over the upper sound country,
making navigation difficult and
hazardous.
A score of farm buildings have been
wiped out, at least one town, Alki, four
miles from Bellingham, has been de
stroyed, orchards and crops are ruined
and lives endangered. Damage already
done amounts to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
To add to the seriouness of the
situation a strong northerly wind is
blowing. The weather bureau predicts
at least ten days more of hot weather.
.Unorganized squads of men are
fighting the flames throughout the
county, but because of - the prevailing
direction of the wind, backfiring is out
of the question . and the only weapon
is water, which is scarce.
