P I ORT 0 HAMBURG DKCE THE FOURTH IT, IS UK DEAD Writer Accompanying Cargo , of Frozen -, Beef to Hamburg Finds '- Conditions Deplorable. BUILDINGS ARE DILAPIDATED Germany Now Receiving Plenti ',. fuf Supply Foodstuffs; Natives . Treat All Americans Royally. " By M. E. PcUett , New York, Oct. 18. I have just ? returned from Hamburg, once the world's largest port. Now thOeport of Hamburg is dead. .: MM.. MIMit lurl 'solution a r A useless." It reminds one of a man 'all dressed up and no place to go' -but with this addition, that he sat with dust," rained . on. besplattered with mud. , The port needs touching up, cleaning;, repainting. The tran sit sheds are weather beaten, the quays dirty from disuse, the cranes rusty, v The whole presents the ap pearance of a deserted house in a lonely, out-of-the-way spot in the country , ' with leaky roof, Btalncd weatherboards, broken 'windows. lawn grown up to rank weeds, pump handle smashed, gate off its hinges . . . . 1 . . 11. . M - . door a sort of mystery in green. . FORMALITIES GONE ' Another evidence of the llfelessness o the port is the lack of formalities in 1 entering a ship at Hamburg. We were at no great distance from our quay when tugs took us In tow. A little . later some one wearing a battered uni form cap hooked a ladder over ,ur side and came up. He provea to De tne immigration officer. - What papers did he want? None. But did we have any negroes on board? The captain told mm we naa some Peruvians who were pretty black. They didn t matter only tne American, or 'African, variety Interested him. Who else might be aboard was of no conse quence. , Then the customs men came on and were satisfied with the mere statement that we had beef as cargo. Later, on going ashore to enter his ship, the cap tain found that all that was necessary was to leave his paper with the Unites States naval port officer until he got ready to sail. And connected with the clearing there were no formalities ex cept , to get the ship s paper back, to aether with a note, signed by the Unites States naval port officer, to the effect - that we had been in Hamburg and were now leaving. A strange proceeding In . . . . . a tana wnere memoa uuu uecuuro annum a fetish t i SHOPS ABC CLOSED ' The next afternoon a handful of u strolled toward the business center. Places of business were closed. At a conveniently located cafe we dropped in for a glass of beer. It wasn't as good as our own 2.75 per cent, but it cost leas 75 pfennigs a glass. An American dollar bought us 18 marks; later I got as many as 27 for a i dollar. Except at the Atlantic hotei the Waldorf-Astoria of Hamburg that was the highest price I paid for beet , during my stay in that port In some places it sold for as, low as 15 pfennig a glass. But It -was poor stuff. Some of it tasted like a mixture of vinegar and molasses. There wasn t any really good beer to be had at any price. At the Atlantic hotel we paid the equivalent of Slightly less thaa 10 cents a bottle -for as good beer as was obtainable in Hamburg. fy n.nna'i mnitnrjui for this drink and bis reputation as a brewer make It reasonable to suppose that he would now have good beer if lb were avail pubsm to brew it with the products available. KECEIYED BOTAXLT ; v Wo rrid the first shipload of frosen beef to Hamburg not the first since the armistice, but the first that has reached there for 25 years. - ' - 1 Frozen beef is something new w u Germans. American ana oiner export ers of slaughterhouse products, formerly doing -. business : in Hamourg ana now resuming it, had previously shipped to that port not beef but pork, lard ana the like.. . . . . , ...

To the others, except the Amrins. the Germans were apparently Indifferent. They treated us royally, as if we were indeed regaraea as oowm friends.

The boy is charged with the killing of j Lillian Leuthold, aged 16 years, of Ban don, who was found dead July 27 in a road near Bandon. The body had been concealed in Saturday morning called off all the anion 'men employed In the construc tion of the six oil storage tanks at the terminal because they were working or. material that had been supplied from an "unfair" Bhop. The McDougall-Overmire plant. Bast Water street and Hawthorne avenue. has the contract for this Job, and this company defied the union demands. PI.AJTT C0STI5TJE8 OPERATIONS The metal trades workers held that the new wage agreement applied also to the so-called contract shops about the city, because they have been doing shipyard work. C. C. Overmire, presi dent of the McDougall-Overmire com pany, objected to .this, and upon his refusal to meet the scale over 150 of his men struck. The plant has continued to operate. however, with non-union labor, and consequently has been picketed and Its products have been branded as unfair. Use of this material brought about the walkout Saturday morning. It was said Saturday that the company would go ahead and finish the job with non union men. STBIKE MAT BE CALLED In reply to this, C. F. Kendrigan, secretary of the Metal Trades council, asserted Saturday night that all union men might be called off the project. Officers of the Metal Trades council and of the Building Trades council were in session Saturday debating the matter, but any agreement reached was not made public. . Kendrigan said that the matter would probably be laid before dock commis sion officials Monday and -Intimated that an agreement satisfactory to the unions was expected. The strike is said to have affected about 50 men, all of whom belonged to the Boilermakers' union. An - effort is being made to have the tanks ready by early November, but It la said that oriental oil shipments expected on the Pacific Steamship company's steamer COaxet, now en route from, the Far East, will be routed Into Seattle. the brush, after the girl j had been shot ; twice.

Friends here are convinced that the unidentified soldier, killed by a freight train at The Dalles Is Robert Ray. who -went from this city with the Eleventh company, coast artil lery. Ray was employed by the Swan ton Drug company . here for some time btfore joining the army. Mrs. S. F. Abernathy of Forest Grove is his foster mother. Ray was at Fort Stevens, went abroad as a casual and wad transferred to a trench motor com pany. He has not yet returned to Marshfield. He has a sister In Port land and his brother-in-law works in a. shipyard there. These facts, together with the initial "R", reported found on the dead man's belt, seem to establish the former soldier's identity.
