CAR SHORTAGE NOW
IS
Congested Conditions in Gal
veston and New Orleans
Factor in Local Situation.
It is with caution that car service
agents of the railroads centering at
Portland are filling orders for cars
on application of shippers. While the
word "shortage" is not yet applied,
congestion of freight in eastern ter
minals and at wharves is so great
that loaded cars are not being re
leased promptly.
The Southern Pacific is having per
haps the most difficulty in supplying
shippers just now because of the con
gestion at Galveston and New Or
leans. The O-W. R. & N still has
plenty of cars, but is letting them
out in limited numbers only,- antici
pating the possible time whsn all w'-ll
be In use and It will be hard to get
any at all.
North Bank officials say they have
plenty of cars, but are filling order
just, now for shipments over their
own" line.
The scarcity is most pronounced in
the case of box cars for general mer
chandise and grain. There are plenty
of open cars, flats and gondolas and
these are now being used for load
ing of lumber. Stock carsAlined with
building paper, are being used ex
tensively for sackett grain.
Relief is already in sight even be
for the situation has become critical,
freight men say, in the gradual lift
ing of embargoes at eastern seaports.
Few empties are being . sent west,
however, so to avoid the "shortage."
the railroads are limiting the number
allotted each shipper.

with the bayonet. The Russian sol
diers swept up the mountain sides and
swarmed through ' gaps made by tha
heavy guns.
Grand Tuke Nicholas took command
of the Russian southern front less
than five months ago. Immediately
the Russian Torces, which had been in
active, began to develop the offen
sive which has resulted In the fall of
Erzerum.
Grand Soles. Great Strategist.
The grand dyke is considered by
military experts to be one of the great
est strategists developed by the war.
From the outbreak of hostilities until
early In September last, he was com
mander In chief of the Russian armies.
He directed the masterly retreat of the
harrassed Russians during the Aus-tro-German
offensive of last summer,
twice saving his armies from what
threatened to be fatal traps.
' First ho succeeded in defeating the
German campaign to encircle and cut
off the bulk of the Russian forces
around Warsaw. The' city was lost,
but the troops were successfully with
drawn. Again at Brest Litovsk, the
grand duke succeeded in leading his
men out of the snare.
Superseded by the Cxar.
Early in September, Grand Duke
Nicholas was removed from command
by his imperial cousin. Czar Nicholas.
Official announcement was made on
September 8 last that Russian soil hav
ing been invaded, the -czar had de
cided himself to take direct command
of all the mllttary and naval forces and
that the grand duke had been appointed
viceroy of the Caucasus and com
mander of the troops in that district.
Erzerum, a city of 4O.0P0, is about
60 miles west of the Russian frontier.
It Is surrounded by a stone wall built
by th Turks three centuries ago. . On
the eastern side, a high mountain ridge
outside the wall protects the city from
attacfc from tha Russian Caucasus.

timately connected with him or cog
nizant of the plot could know.
So strong did the letter appear that
Captain Hunt, after two hours of fe
verish work, made the following state
ment: "I am convinced that the letter was
written by Crones. The only thing I
am doubtful about Is the statement
in the letter that Crones Is working
in a small town near New York. He
is clever enough to have mailed the
letter to a friend In New Tork to have
It remailed and stamped to throw us
off his trial." The letter was received
by the New Tork Times Wednesday.
It was addressed: "New Tork Times,
Times Square, City." At right angles
to the address, across the left hand end
of the envelope was written the name
"Jean Crones."
Gives Details of Chemicals.
It was written on foolscap paper
which bore the make "Kenmoore," the
chirography was of a cramped, foreign
style, and the spelling and some of the
grammar was that of a German who
has learned English only partially.
There was no salutation the text run
ning from the topmost line.
One of the first things to guaran
tee the genuineness of the letter was
the statement tht the six chemicals
found in Crones' room at 2201 Prairie
avenue when the police raided it after
the day of the banquet, contained
shredded asbestos instead of gun cot
ton as the police at first declared.
Captain Hunt's men checked up this
statement, and found it to be true,
through the declaration of Dr. Fred
erick. O. Tonney, city chemist, who
made an immediate examination of the
material in the cans.
- Big-natures Are Similar. '
At once the detective captain sent
for the cashier of the University club,
and had him bring over the payroll re
ceipt book, which each employe of the
club had to sign to get his pay en
velope. The "Jean Crones" that was
signed to the book when superinduced
to the signature on the letter from the
Times coincided.
In the letter Crones stated that for
three months, beginning in May, 1913.
he had worked in Castel's restaurant
at Granite City, Stat en Island. This
fact had not been published before
and was not previously known to the
police. Yet when they called Edward
A. Marks, proprietor of the restau
rant, the statement was verified. Tha

Assistant Is Arrested.
Chicago. Feb. 17. (U. F. In a raid
on a house on . the south-side today,
police arrested Frits Schoenfeld, as
sistant chef of the University club,
where last week's "poison- banquet"
was held. Schoenfeld said he had in
formation which would help the au
thorities to locate the poison plotters
but he denied that he himself is an
anarchist.
Schoenfeld was released later with
out furnishing any clue as to Crones'
whereabouts.
Thinks He Saw Clones.
Boston. Feb, 17. U.(P.) A Cam
bridge man, fellow member of Jean
Crones, alleged poison plotter, in the
Chicago Waiters union, claimed today
he saw Crones at the South Station
last night.
The man. who insisted on having his
name kept secret for fear of violence,
said:
"When I said 'Hello Jean,' to him.
he gave me an ugly look, said 'Mind
your own business,' and hurried away."
Teil of Secret Pact.
Chicago, Feb. 17. (I. N. S.) John
Allegrini, alleged anarchist plotter and
friend of Jean Crones, the "poison
king." today told of the existence of
a secrecy pact among the members of
the Free Thought society, to which he
belongs, and asserted that the where
abouts of Crones is no secret to at
least half a dozen individuals In the
city.
Allegrinl denied any collusion with
Crones in his operations and claimed
ability to-establish an alibi, disproving
the assertion of Captain Hunt that he
visited with Crones on Thursday, the
day of the attempted poisoning. It
would be utterly useless for the police
to aAtempt to gain any information
from the members of our society," said
Allegrinl.
"No matter what the character of
the trouble into which a comrade may
fall," said Allegrinl, "it is a precept
of the organization that the secret of
one is the secret of all.
"There are those in Chicago who
know that Jean Crones was criminally
connected with this poison plot, and
you may rest assured that they will
say nothing of it."
