GREAT THINGS PRESS
IN COMMERCE FIGHT
Annual . Meeting Develops
Anew 'Fact That Shipping
Is City's Greatest Heed.
0. M. CLARK IS REELECTED
Bpeoial Committee H11 Kelp Cam
paign for Bulk Grain Elevator and
Snip Subsidy Amendments.
The Portland Railway, Light &. Pow-
r company, in spite or war ana jn-
neys, Is feeling the betterment of busi
ness conditions. This fact, of par
ticular significance In view of the fact
that this corporation has been given
to dark prophecies In time past, was
brought out in the report of President
Franklin T. Giffith at the annual meet-
ng of stockholders Wednesday after
noon.
Passenger earnings of the company
in the last three months of 1916 showed
10 per cent increase over the same
erlod of the previous year, said Mr.
irlffith's report, and there is every
reason to believe that earnings win
continue to Increase.
Reasons given for this optimistic
outlook are the resumption of general
business activity, practical elimination
of the unemployment problem and the
teady increase In population which
began last fall.
an enormous Increase In the con
sumption of electric power has been
brought about by the growth of the
steel shipbuilding Industry in Portland
n the last year. This industry has
grown up entirely since the last annual
neetlng of stockholders. The Portland
Hallway, Light & Power company Is
supplying electric power to all three
hipyards in operation, and has signed
0-year contracts with two additional
ards. Mr. Griffith estimates that the
sales of electric power for ahlpbulld
ing purposes this year will amount to
4100,000.
general business conditions, said Mr.
Griffith, began to Improve in the fall
of 1915 and have continued to the pres
ent time. He reels, confident that a
genuine Revival Is in progress.
Portland Natural
Furniture Center
Mike Karpen of Karpen Bros., Chicago,
Biggest Upholsterers In America,
looks to Coast for Development.
"Portland is a natural furniture
manufacturing center, and It is only a
question of time until we shall have
to eetabllshe a plant on the coast," said
Mike Karpen of Karpen Bros., Chicago
furniture manufacturers, who started
east to his headquarters Thursday, aft
er several days In this city. The Karpens
are the largest manufacturers of up
holstered furniture In the United
States.
"The northwest," he said, "is manu
facturing 100 per cent more furniture
today than it did six years ago. In
point of production. One of the plants
m Portland is the third largest In the
country for the manufacture of bed
room and dining room furniture."
Mr. Karpen favors the J6.000.000
ipavlng bond Issue, and expressed the
belief that if the roads of Oregon are
Improved so that tourists can drive
Into the state at any time of the year,
the hotels of Portland will be found
inadequate. .
Smce Mr. Karpen left Chicago he has
received word of the sale for $3,500.
000 of the Karpen building, a Chicago
skyscraper or which he is one of the
owners. This was the largest realty
transaction in the history of Chicago.
Tne winding was purchased by the
Standard Oil company.
Recall Disturbances
Are Now Adjusted
Oregon City, Or.. March 22. The last
ol the , recall disturbances is nassed
vlth the reinstatement of Isom C.
Bridges in the council. The recall peti
tion against E. B. Andrews from the
Third ward was also put on the table
by the city council last nlrht.
J. j. to Din, manager of the Electric
hotel, was recommended to fill the
vacancy left by the ousting of Jack
Albright In the first ward.
The council refused an offer of tsons
by the Korth western Fire Apparatus
company ror tne city lot on Second and
Main streets where the present fire
house stands, and accepted an offer or
$1500 by the Hawley Pulp & Paper
company. Their reason for the action
was that they believed the fire appara
tus company was purchasing for an in
vestment and 'that the paper company
wa Duymg n xor a Duudlug site.
By a motion of Councilman rtnv r-.
Cox the fine Imposed upon Leslie WeUs
several days ago by Recorder Loder, on
a charge of drunkenness, was remitted.
Oregon City Would
Its Water
Oregon qity, March 22.- The water
board of Oregon City announced Wed
nesday that It would try .and Induce
some neighboring towns to incorporate
with this city for the purpose of being
able to give them service of the South
Fork water. An ordinance at present
prohibits the sharing with other towns
the city water and unless some such
incorporation can be effected there will
be no distribution of the system.
Gladstone and Jennings Lodge are In
cluded in the plana, but the aentiment
of the people in these sections shows
that their- Inclinations are to incor
porate with Portland and obtain Bull
Kun wat.er..
While the annual meeting of the
trade and commerce bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday eve
ning, brought out.startllng facts con
cerning Portland's grave necessity to
unite in a fight for trade, the meet
ing Itself attracted less than 20 of the
bureau's S00 members.
O. M. Clark was reelected one of the
bureau's three representatives on the
chamber's board of directors. As he
accepted the election Mr. Clark re
marked that he has determined not to
consider reelection to the "presidency of
the chamber.' t
A special committee was authorized
to aid in securing the passage of the
bulk grain elevator $3,000,000 bond is
sue and the ship subsidy amendment,
measures of the June election.
Essential Fort Units.
These were named as essential units
of Portland's great port development
plan. The annual report showed that
the managing committee of the bureau
has performed arduous and difficult
service during the year, but without
adequate support from the bureau, the
chamber or the ; community. In dis
cussing the report, eome of the bureau
members confessed to an uncertainty
of mind as to Just what specific serv
ices their membership imposes on
them, for they have not been assigned
definite duties.
Compliments for efficient work were
particularly directed toward Nathan
Strauss, chairman of the bureau, and
W. D. B. Dodson, secretary of the bu
reau and executive secretary of the
chamber.
The report was an important docu
ment, for it dwelt upon Portland's
greatest need, ahipping, and it clearly
showed:
That Portland business interests
must now be loyal enough to Portland
to sink any differences they may have
and work organlzedly together.
Direct Transportation Factor.
That jobbers, manufacturers and
shippers must by plan control the com
munity's freight movement to the end
of using it to secure direct hlp trans
portation to the Atlantic coast, the
orient, as well as to demand greater
recognition by the railroads of Port
land as a terminal.
That to secure ships and .handle
tonnage port facilities must be per
sistently worked for until provided,
these Including the public bulk grain
elevator, coal bunkers, oil, ore and
ballast docks.
Other -necessities of the port plan
mentioned were equalization of all
dockage, towage, pilotage, storage and
labor charges With competitive ports,
and authority to the port commission
either to subsidize privately owned
boat lines or enter directly Into the
business of operating ships and steamboats.
"Portland Capital" Is Weed
Investment In vessels by Portland
capital was pleaded for as a means of
maintaining needed rates in the mar
keting of such a bulky commodity as
lumber, the port's chief export product.
The grain movement would be similar
ly aided and it was suggested that
while the big grain dealers , have not
yet learned to work together for com
munity interest, they must do so.
It was suggested that merchants,
Jobbers, manufacturers and shippers
could operate and pay the interest on
coast to coast boat transportation out
of savings incident to providing the
facilities, especially at this time when,
on account of war conditions, there Is
no such thing as normal boat and rail
movement of freight
Earnest approval was given the
plan to teach Portland school children
about shipping and trade.
"Start" Heeded, Says Severs.
A. H. Devers predicted that if an
experienced ship operating man or con
cern should come into Portland witn
$50,000 the business interests would
subscribe an additional $950,000.
The annual report which was pre
sented by Mr. Dodson detailed the mul
tiplied efforts, some of which still
have promise of success, to attract
steamship service and end discrimina
tion against this port on the part of
steamship lines and railroads.
One 'successful plece of work was
the location of a branch office of the
Alaska railroad commission purchas
ing division in Portland, and another
the location of an office of the federal
commerce bureau here.
Buyers' week. Inaugurated by the
bureau, has proven so successful that
It has received the sincerest form- of
tribute, Imitation by competitive cities.
Channel Work Approved.
At the Instance of the bureau's navi
gation committee, the port commission
approved the opening of the west chan
nel at Swan Island to deep sea naviga
tion. A naval base at the mouth of
the river and a, Coos bay steamship
line were the subjects of special ef
forts. Equipment to furnish Informa
tion about domestic or foreign market
conditions has been made complete.
The recommendations for the year's
work were as follows:
That one of the three main efforts
of the chamber for the cominar year
shall be for the establishment of ship
ping out or tnis port.
"That the city and state must be
shown the necessity of joining in the
ownersntp or aeen sea shinnins' In
tended to give relief to this territory.
Oriental Idas Is et-m
"For the mustering of all possible
sirengtn to estamisn an i oriental
steamsnip line. ousiness men must
nave tne support or the transcontinen
tat railways in a rair share of through
freight. Our people must do a bis
part In controlling the traffic within
reacn, potn inbound and out-
mission rulings and railway rate ad
justments. - - 'v.;'".?-? ..-'-i
' Cooperative Investment Heeded.
"Cooperative Investment necessary
to build up an adequate coast service.
"Devetdp ' the - industries that are
needed to give return - cargo for ves
sels winch will be offered for outbound
cargo. ' .- ;
"Make this a' seaport In every sense
of the word, keeping our people alive
to the vast advantages that come from
seaport conditions? ' and pressing the
educational work throughout this com
munity, until not an act may toe com
mitted by any interest Injurious to the
commerce of the port without calling
forth Immediately the sharpest public
resentment. . ' .

It Is Charged; Judge Oatens" Hakes
Answer In Els Own Behalf.
TWO DESERTIONS ALLEGED
Actions for Divorce Are Com
menced in the Circuit Court.
Mabel Jeannette Barclay today filed
a divorce suit against George H. Bar
clay, alleging that the defendant aban
doned his home November 1, 1915. The
Barclays were married at Kalama,
Wash., November 10, 1914.
Desertion if also the ground for a
divorce sought by Bertha L. Clark
from James -F. Clark, who were mar
ried In Vancouver, June 3, 1913.
Allege Fraud in Transfer.
Annulment of a transfer of property
on the ground of alleged conspiracy to
defraud, is asked In a complaint filed
in the circuit court by Elizabeth A.
McAdams and Paul G. Gantenbeln
against Nathan Gage and Kd. DeYoung
The plaintiffs allege that they were In
duced to trade Curry county property
lor land in Yakima county, Wash., un
der the representation that the latter
was worth $125 an acre. It Is alleged
that the Washington property proved
to be rocky and unfertile and not worth
to exceed $1 per acre.
On the eve of the trial of Jim
Brusco. charged with murder, the dis
trict attorney's office, through Chief
Deputy Collier, has submitted a writ
ten protest to Presiding Judge Gan
tenbeln asking ' that no more crlm
lnal cases be assigned for trial to
department No. 5 of the circuit court,
of which William N. Gatens Is judge.
Deputy District Attorney Collier
bases his protest on grounds of un
willingness on the part of Judge
Gatens to impose penalties and
readiness and inclination to grant
paroles. Further assignment of crlm
inal cases before Judge Gatens is op
posed by the district attorney as be
ing contrary to public policy and
against the Interests of Justice.
Dissension, brewing for some time.
flared out during and following the
trial of F. W. Jobelman charged with
assaulting Hugh Park, a Korean. When
Jobelman was found guilty by a Jury
of assault with a dangerous weapon
and Immediately paroled by Judge Ga
tens. the chief deputy district attor
ney said that no more criminal cases
would be tried before Judge Gatens.
Seasons Are Enumerated.
The protest sent to. Presiding Judge
Gantenbeln, made under rule No. 7 of
the circuit court, gives as reasons for
not assigning criminal cases to depart
ment No. 5, the following:
"That the judge of said department
No. 5 is temperamentally hostile to
criminal prosecutions, and on frequent
occasions has publicly expressed him
self to that effect."
Charges further Include the alleged
"unwillingness of Jndge Gatens to lm
pose extreme penalties and his dispo
sition to grant paroles lndiscrimin
ately." It is also charged "that this
policy causes lawlessness and a waste
of public money In prosecutions."
t. Speaking of his action. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney collier said:
, Personal Motives Sealed.
"This is purely a matter of business
with nothing personal about it. We
have come to the conclusion that to try
cases before Judge Gatens Is a uslr-ts
expenditure of the county's money and
wasted time on our part. This protest
is not based solely on any one par
ticular case, but on his attitude to
wards the prosecution of criminal cases
covering a period of over four years."
That the protest was the direct out
come and result of the Jobelman case
was the conviction expressed by -Judge
Gatens.
The district attorney's office is
simply venting Its spleen," Judgw
Gatens said. "In answer to any protest
Mr. Collier may make I am perfectly
willing to let my record answer.
"The deputy distn.t attorney be
came enraged because he vi rot' per
mitted to follow his la f perseca
tlon In that case which Involved Jobel
man, the agitator if yon will, and Park,
the Korean.
"But I am not protecting home
wreckers. This Korean Is a ladles'
man' and boasts of his conquests
of American women. Jobelman is
no angel, but I have selected the
lesser of two evils. Jobelman
is the father of four children,
the youngest of whom Is 1V
years, who need his help while the
Korean, admittedly a criminal, the dis
trict attorney's office will not prose
cute him.
District Attorney Scored.
?Mr. Kvans stated something which
he knew was fa&se when he said it,
that I only sent one person to the pen.
ltentlary since I have been on the
bench. During July, August and Sep
tember and October, 1915, (I have not
tried any criminal cases since except
the Jobelman case), I sent so many
men to the penitentiary that I cannot
remember them all. Only today I re
ceived a letter from a man I sent to
the penitentiary asking that I recom
mend his parole.
"I cannot see Justice through the
eyes of Mr. Evan8 or Mr. Collier who
are blind to justice in their erWeavor
to Imitate such men as Whitman and
Jerome as prosecutors.

subscription very largely exceed in
number and amount all previous rec
ords. We are satisfied the loan al
ready la oversubscribed and heavy
oversubscription is quit probable. In-
vestors who are in close touch with
the situation are now basing their sub
scriptions on allotments being cut from
30 to 60 per cent."
