FORTY-SEVENTH YAR
SECOND BOAT
LINE ON RIVER
IS RUMORED
Competing Service From
Portland To Salem Con
templated In Near Fu
ture, Is Report.
There la a distinct possibility
that a second river transportation
com pnny may bo established to
run competition with tho Salem
Navigation company operating be
tween Salem and Portland, accord
ing to reports circulating on the 1
river front here today.
It has become definitely known
that P. A. Wilson, president of the
Greyhound Transportation com
pany, which operates out of Port
land, was In Salem early this week
sfzing up tho situation. With him
wa.i Captain McNutt, said to rep
resent Durham and Bates, the in
surance company which at present
has possession of the river steam
er Relief, which has been docked
at Salem since it was sunk here dur
lr.g the cold spell nearly 11 months
ago.
Wilson's plan, as outlined by
those in a position of familiarity
with the situation, would be to se
cure the uso of the Relief from
Durham and Bates, operating it on
the Columbia river, probably be
tween Portland and Kelso, on a per
centngo basis. It is understood that
the insurance company stands wil
ling to enter into such an agree
ment. Tho boat, however, will have
to be repaired and reconditioned,
a considerable amount of work
still being necessary after the Re
lief's rest On the bottom of the riv
er lost January. Something more
than $3000 was spent repairing the
boat after It was raised at that
time.
With tho Relief running on the
Columbia out of Portland, the In
terstate, now making that run,
would be established on tho Willa
mette between Portland and Salem
according to the present plan. The
Interstate, formerly the Oregana,
was originally built for the Wil
lamette river run, and is consider
ed ono of the best boats In the
northwest for the purpose, al
though a few years ago it was re
built for a different run.
It is known that Wilson of the
Greyhound Transportation com
pany began making inquiries at
Salem last spring, sending Captain
"Steamboat" Smith to this city for
the purpose of seeing how the land
lay.
It Is believed that Durham and
Bates, the insurance company now
having the boat in possession, has
no desire to attempt to operate the
Relief on its own account, not be
ing acquainted with the business,
and is willing to have It operated
by a steamboat company on a per
centage basis. Litigation over the
boat is still pending, making It
Impracticable to sell It. Durham
and Bates bought the Relief for
$2100 under the auctioneer's ham
mer on June 3. The former own
ers of the boat, chief of which is
a Mr. Schaub, demand $20,000
from the insurance company, the
Relief being insured for that
amount at the time it sank in the
river at the foot of Court street
here. Tho chief contention that
lifts developed on the side of
Schaub and his company, accord
ing to reports, is that the boat was
at the time it was turned over to
tho insurance company last win
ter. In a condition such that it
could have been saved, making it
the fault of the insurance com
pany rather than the steamboat
company that the damage was
dene. Durham anfl Bates, on the
other hand, not only refuse to pay
the Insurance, but demand to be
reimbursed for more than $3000
pent raising and repairing the
toat after it was sunk, declaring
that it was the fault of Schaub and
his company that the sinking took
place.

Stimulation of interest in phys

of a revised edition of "A Practi

by B. F. Carlcton, formerly first
assistant state superintendent.
During the last year as a field rep
resentative of the University of
Oregon Air. Carlcton made a sur
vey of Oregon school playgrounds
to determine what games children
play most naturally in the vnrious
grades. Using tho university li

An entirely new chapter in the

Lack Of Responsibility To
Blame For Laxness In
Control Of Diseases;
System Criticized.
"With reports circulating through
out tho city that cases of smallpox
have been permitted to run at large
and the Salem city council at its
meeting Monday night demanding
a report of information on the
subject, public attention has been
focused on defects in the present
regulations and their enforcement,
which are declared to make the
population of Salem unnecessarily
subject to epidemics of contagious)
diseases. I
Under tho present city ordinance, j
as adopted last year at the time of
a threatened diptheria epidemic, !
each Individual attending physician
is authorized to pronounce quaran
tine and assume full responsibility
for continuing it, in each case on
which he is called. Contrary to
the practice in other cities, respon
sibility for handling contagious di
seases Is not centered in the hands
of one duly constituted authority.
Responsibility Trucking
The. situation as It stands under
the present regulation makes It
practically Impossible to have an
effective control of the situation.
due to the following facts:
1. Although there aro implied
and theoretical means of forcing
the individual physician to accept
his full responsibility, as the facts
actually work out It is found im
possible to enforce a quarantine
where the responsibility is not con
centrated Into tho hands of one
man. Penalties for violations of
quarantine are not given.
2. The physician is placed In a
difficult position. If ho takes his
duty sincerely, as the great major
ity of them do, he comes into com
petition with the man, found In
every occupation, who Is willing
ti slight his responsibility for the
sake of approval from those from
whom he gets his money. During
thu past few weeks there have
been reports of smallpox cases
found In-the same vicinity, some
not, the situation having tho result
that tho physician who was the
more lenient with the patients

Witnesses Say No Effort
Made By Capt. Foley To
Influence Testimony Of
Widow.
Washington, Nov. IS. (A. P.)
Mrs. George W. Steele Jr.. testi
fied today before the Shenandoah
court of Jnuuiry that Mrs. Mar
garet Lauedowne "understood ful
ly that the statement sent her
by Captain Paul Foley of the court
was merely a memorandum of sug
gestions and not a direct state
ment of the testimony she was to
give, on the witness stand.
It was Mrs. Steele who took to
Mrs, Lausdowne the memorandum
which has become a basis for
charges that Cr.ptain Foley as
judge advocato ot the court, sought
to induce the widow of the Shea-
audoah'e captain to give false
testimony.
Simnlv Sueeestion.
"I distinctly told her that it was
offered only for her assistance in
preparing her own statement for
the court," she testified, "that it
wae in the way of suggestions that
she could fill out."
Mrs. Steele, the wife ot the
commandant of the Lakehuret
naval aid station added that when
Mrs. Lausdowne read the memor
andum she showed not "the slight
est anger."
The lirst witness today was Mrs.
Gladys J. Klein, wife of Command
er Jacob Klein of the Lakehurst
air station, who testified that ehe
heard Mm. Lansdowne talking
over the telephone about the Shen
andoah's western trip on tho day
after the wreck and heard her say:
"He was not Bent; he went."
Mrs. Klsin said- this occurred
during a visit to Mrs. Lausdowne's
home. Captain W. It. Gherardi,
naval aide to Secretary Wilbur,
also called while she was there,
she said, and she heard Mrs. Lans
downe say to him: "I did not say
it, my husband never criticized
the navy department and the sec
retary of the navy and why should
I."
Interview Described.
The interview between Captain
Foley and Mrs, Lausdowne was de
scribed nt length by Dr. William
li. Mason, har uncle who confirm
ed that ne toid Mrs. Lausdowne
not to tell Foley "a damn thiug."
lie said Foley impressed upon Mia.
Lansdjwno that the court was
friendly to her and that she would
been under o.-.tu and should tell
the truth.
Tho witness added that when
Foiey asked Mrs. Lausdowne to
"rehearse" what she would say to
tho court, sho replied that she
preferred not to tell. He got the
impression from "Foley's man
ner," he said, that the captain
had called for the purpose at least
of having Mrs. Lansdowne "modi
fy" her testimony.
Dr. Mason said he was not aware
that navy regulations required
Captain Foley as judge advocate
to Interview witnesses.
"1 thought Captain Foley was
a member of the court and 1
thought he was bringing undue
influence to make Mrs. Lans
downe tell him what ehe was go
ing to say," he testified.
Hear Admiral Hilary P. Jones,
president of the court, demanded
of Dr. Mason it he had any fact
or witnesses to support his sugges
tions tiiat Foley was sent to Mrs.
Lansdowne by Secretary Wilbur.
"No facts other than what I
have given," Dr, Mason replied.
"Any witnetsps?"
"Nsne."'
